Chapter 5 Who is Han Jiang?
After barely distinguishing the two so-called maids and being monitors, Han Jiang still lay there and didn't move, and asked again: "What are the instructions of Mr. Han?"
The shadow dressed in blue replied: "The Lord sent someone to deliver the message, or the owner can go to the flower hall to have tea when he has time in the afternoon."
Han Jiang asked: "When is the time now?"
"It's almost noon."
Han Jiang was a little confused about how to calculate this hour, but since it was almost morning, there should be more than one hour before the afternoon tea tasting time, and Han Jiang understood it one hour or two hours.
"Wash and change your clothes."
"yes."
Cai went outside the door and ordered, and someone came in soon.
Only then did Han Jiang realize that he underestimated the ancient times and the Southern Song Dynasty.
After seeing Han Jiang's teeth, Cai took a small box on the tray held by a maid, and applied the contents in the box with a ponytail made of a very modern toothbrush.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, brushing teeth.
This definitely subverted Han Jiang's understanding of ancient times. Han Jiang guessed that the eight small boxes on the tray were probably eight different toothpastes. Cai chose toothpaste based on his teeth, which was really amazing.
After washing up, the chef had prepared the meal.
The rice was OK, but Han Jiang was a little unpleasant. But when she saw the cook standing there with a slightly bent over at the door, Han Jiang thought to herself if she didn't like the rice, would the cook be punished?
Eat and try your best to finish.
Maybe it was an illusion. After Han Jiang finished eating, he put the bowls and chopsticks in his eyes, and he saw the joy in the cook's eyes.
After dinner, Han Jiang watched many people in the yard busy. It seemed that no one had lived in the yard for a long time. Someone was repairing the kitchen, someone was sending firewood to the woodshed, and someone was tidying up the side yard.
At this time, Han Qi came again.
However, Han Qi did not enter the yard and shouted to the door of the yard with his back to him: "Han Jiang, come out."
It is absolutely impolite to call the full name of someone, but Han Jiang has no words, so Han Qi is unwilling to call him Brother Jiang, so he called him his name directly.
The shadow put the things on his hand and prepared to go out.
Judging from this posture, Han Jiang believed even more that this girl was better than the one outside, although the reason was unknown.
However, Han Jiang still planned to go out.
At the gate of the courtyard, Han Jiang stood inside the courtyard. Han Qi was still facing away from the courtyard. Han Qi said, "You go and tell my uncle that you want to change people. I will send someone to the market in the morning to find six maids."
Something interesting.
Is this going to steal people?
Han Jiang replied: "You were there at that time, and they were here to monitor me."
Han Qi actually stomped his feet and said, "Six maids, I'll give you away." After saying that, he left without looking back. The shadow took over six new maids like nothing happened and arranged for them to do chores in the yard. He was not allowed to get close to the main house, and he just happened to make up for the people temporarily borrowed from other places.
When he returned to the main house, Han Jiang wanted to ask questions to relieve the doubts in his heart.
Before Han Jiang could ask, Ying took the initiative to say, "Although Brother Qi is not well-known in Lin'an City, he cannot tolerate outsiders bullying the people in the mansion." After that, Han Jiang saw Ying take out a small sign, which turned out to be gold, with the character Han on it.
In an instant, Han Jiang understood.
The two sisters have a very high status in the Han Mansion, and are definitely no worse than Qingwen in Dream of Red Mansions.
Han Jiang also understood why Han Qi was so hostile to him, it must be because the two sisters were their maids for the time being.
This is jealous!
Han Jiang couldn't help but smile.
In the afternoon, Han Jiang changed her clothes and went out.
Han Qian, who had blushing and swollen faces on both sides, stood outside the door. When he saw Han Jiang, he hurried forward: "Good little master."
Han Jiang nodded: "Lead the way ahead, flower hall."
"yes."
Han Jiang never thought about whether Han Qian had resentment in his heart, nor did he ask Han Qian whether he was taking medicine on his face. This had nothing to do with him. He would not trust Han Qian before, nor would he do it later. Han Jiang didn't like people with big mouths. Such people may not be bad, but they would inadvertently cause trouble.
In the flower hall, a tea girl is matcha.
Han An was whispering: "Master, Lao Nu sent someone to investigate. No wealthy businessmen with the surname Han or the children of the big clan entered the city in the past fifteen days. In the past fifteen days, seven wealthy businessmen have sent people to check. Two convoys of the big clan have also sent people to check. They have nothing to do with Jiang Ge'er."
“Is there any more?”
"I dare to say, according to etiquette and law, our Han family has three or two halls, not to mention that they have some status. Even if ordinary children come to Lin'an, even if the lord is busy with official duties, they will have to submit a post to the mansion. If the lord sees or not, the lord will also offer a ritual according to etiquette."
"The Lord, the Han clan of Nanyang County, and the Duke of Wei. It is impossible for the younger generation to have the same name as Duke of Kang."
Han An said nothing wrong.
If any children of the Han clan came to Lin'an, they would definitely come to Han Tuozhou's mansion, even if it was just a politeness. Duke Kang was named Han Jiang, who was a famous family in the Northern Song Dynasty. His great-grandfather, father, and he and he all set up the Yitong Sansi. It can be said that he was extremely prominent. Although Han Tuozhou's great-grandfather Han Qi's lineage was different from them, they were of the same clan and had close friends.
Han Tuozhou asked in a low voice: "Can it be the lineage of King Qi?"
Han An replied: "The Lord, since King Qi left, he has made things difficult for various names in the court, and is not at home and humiliating officials. This lineage can only return to his hometown. When the Lord, we will send people to take care of him every year. If there is Brother Jiang at home, how can we not know?"
"That's right, what do you mean?" Han Tuozhou had already thought of it, but he still wanted to hear Han An say it with great certainty.
Han An said, "Brother Jiang, he definitely has no surname in Han."
"Yeah." Han Tuozhou nodded heavily.
The Qi King they mentioned was Han Shizhong, one of the four generals of Zhongxing who were praised by later generations. He spent the last ten years as an official in constant suppression, and his sons naturally had trouble with him.
Han Shizhong and his four sons were demoted again and again when they were alive. Now, Han Shizhong and his four sons have all passed away. After their deaths, they were given a high-ranking official.
This is the attitude of many officials in the court towards Han Shizhong's lineage.
Even if it was Han Tuozhou's father, his father was willing to change, and he could only keep his peace in Han Shizhong's lineage.
At this time, Han Jiang arrived, and Han An took a tribute and stepped back.
After Han Jiang gave a bow, he sat in the lower seat. Han Tuozhou asked, "Brother Jiang is sleeping well."
"Xie Han is concerned and sleeps soundly."
Han Tuozhou nodded and said directly: "I have already known about Brother Shi. He has broken the rules of the mansion. Our guild punishes him."
Han Jiang stood up: "Duke Han, I want to understand the rules in the mansion. Since I live in the mansion, I naturally have to abide by the rules."
"Okay, I'll send someone to you later." Han Tuozhou did not refuse.
"Thank you, Mr. Han."
