Section 8 Waiting for the eldest son
Until the evening, after Han Tuozhou finished handling official duties, he ordered: "Go and see, Han Andyong asked him to come."
"Yes." Changsui put down the ink strip in his hand and quickly went out to arrange for the young actor to call someone.
Han An had just met Han Tongqing and told him what Han Tuozhou had told him. He would come over immediately after hearing the call.
After Han An arrived, Han Tuozhou asked: "Will anyone send additional personnel to inquire about Brother Jiang? What new news will be there?"
"If you go back to the Lord, you have it."
"Yeah." Han Tuozhou nodded.
Han An said: "Old Nu thinks that Brother Jiang is lying in the snow in a brocade robe. Judging from the skin and calluses of his hands and feet, he must be the noble brother of a wealthy family, and he is in a certain family in Lin'an City."
Han Tuozhou nodded, this analysis was the same as himself.
So, who is Han Jiang?
Han Tuozhou became more and more interested.
Han An leaves.
Let’s talk about Han Jiang’s side.
In the afternoon, Han Jiang was in his yard and looked through the newspaper for a while, and learned about the environment he was in now, and also gained a general understanding of the affairs in the court.
Then, Han Jiang spread out the paper and prepared to write down the ancient texts he had to memorize in high school. He didn't remember whether it was Zhuangzi or Mencius's "Encouraging Learning" to write down ten oddities.
Han Jiang wanted to write, but in addition to calming down her mind, she wanted to practice calligraphy more.
Since he was in the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Jiang believed that writing was a necessary skill in life.
When Han Jiang wrote the second time, Cai took two copybooks and put them in front of Han Jiang, and then stepped aside.
Very quaint copybook, well preserved.
When Han Jiang saw that this was a good thing. Not to mention that it was placed before he traveled through time, it was probably very expensive if the authenticity of this era was. The regular script copybooks of Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan.
Han Jiang wrote very seriously. He firmly believed that it would be inappropriate if he could not even write well in the Southern Song Dynasty.
It was almost evening when the Korean Mansion’s rules were delivered, not just one book, but a lot of them.
Han Jiang looked through the key points and found that he had really underestimated the ancient wealthy families. The Han Mansion's brands were divided into many levels. The second was a wooden sign, which was a temporary hired person to do miscellaneous work. The long-lived servants' iron, copper and silver signs represent the level of servants.
The size of the silver medal is the same as the manager, and some small villages have only silver medals.
There are very few gold medals, and these are all very high-level people in the mansion and enjoy real family-level treatment of the Korean mansion. Finally, there are gold-inlaid jade brands, with only four in total.
This rule is clearly written, the head of the palace is the chief supervisor, the grand nanny of the inner court, and the second supervisor in charge of the outer court.
After further subdivision, there are maids in charge of clothes, maids in charge of meals, maids in charge of makeup, etc.
Han Jiang couldn't help but sigh that this was even greater than the rules of the Rongguo Mansion in Dream of Red Mansions and more detailed. He is worthy of being an old powerful man in the Song Dynasty.
After Han Jiang read these rules of the Han Mansion, it was already the second update.
Ying'an sent someone to prepare a midnight snack, and Han Jiang asked Ying to clean up the table and return the rules in the mansion.
Besides, Han Tuozhou also arranged for people to prepare midnight snacks.
At this time, the second supervisor Han An came in and stood beside him with his hands down, and said to the lower-level servants to retreat. Han Tuozhou took the tea bowl sent by Changsui and asked, "What are Brother Jiang doing?"
"I've been practicing calligraphy all afternoon, reading the newspapers and reading the rules of the mansion. I haven't talked to anyone. I just stood by the window and stared out in a daze. I heard Miss Cai say that it seemed like I was reciting a poem about snow, but the voice was too small to hear clearly."
"Also, Miss Cai took two copybooks and they were all authentic.
Han Tuozhou didn't take it seriously. There were too many people in his family, so many that he didn't know how many. He was not a real scholar and did not want to write an scholar.
Han Tuozhou was concerned about whether Han Jiang was taken care of, so he asked: "There is no mistake in the meal."
"I dare not make any mistakes, everything is determined according to the standards for the same VIPs to come to the house to have a meal."
"What is the appetite?"
Han An replied: "Miss Cai said that it seemed like it was hard to swallow, but she put a grain of rice in the meal and didn't have a piece of meat left. After the meal, Brother Jiang stacked the dishes one by one and placed the bowls and chopsticks on the empty dishes. Also, as far as Miss Cai observed, Brother Jiang seemed to dislike greasy meat."
"kindness."
Han Tuozhou said: "I am still young and have something to do in my heart, so I naturally have no appetite. But it is also excellent. He knows that he must eat it, and he doesn't even leave the dishes he doesn't like, because he doesn't have the strength to eat it, so he forces himself to eat it."
Han An also said: "Master, it seems that this Brother Jiang's patient nature is really amazing."
Han Tuozhou nodded slightly.
Han An said again: "Master, I sent someone from the mansion to investigate. My uncle's family also sent some news, but there were some results."
"Speak and listen."
Han Tuozhou put down the tea bowl and sat upright.
Han An said:
"This morning, three brothers who can be found in Lin'an City did not go home. They are the fourth son of Hu Shilang, the second son of Chengnan Clerk, and the eldest son of Anhou in Chengdong Town. The younger one sent someone to check that the robes were rewarded by the palace, and ordinary families were not qualified to use them even if they were rich. Therefore, whether there were no ones in the business family of officials under the sixth rank and the merchant family had not returned, and the younger ones did not check. There were only these three families who met the age."
Han Tuozhou nodded, he was quite satisfied with the answer.
Han An is still so reliable in his work.
At this time, a servant in blue stopped outside the door. Han An retreated to the door and asked a few questions before coming back.
"Master, the people we sent out to report. The proofreader's family has not returned from the brothel, and the people are still there. Last night, the temple caught fire, burning some beggars and refugees to death. My uncle sent someone to report that the coroner of Lin'an Prefecture found two unusual bodies. One was the manager of Zhen'an Hou Mansion and the other was his wife."
Han Tuozhou, who closed his eyes and listened to the report, suddenly opened his eyes: "Can you confirm?"
"The Lord has sent someone to Zhen'an Hou Mansion to inquire and secretly. The young man also knows that the second manager of Zhen'an Hou Mansion and his wife were brought by the deceased Marquis' home."
Han An was about to say something, but Han Tuozhou waved his hand to signal Han An to stop.
Han Tuozhou was a fifth rank in the court, but he was in real power and knew the affairs of the gate. This official managed the court meeting, was responsible for supervising etiquette, and was also in charge of the upload and delivery of official documents in the court. This official position has always been held by foreign relatives and nobles.
Han Tuozhou naturally knew who Zhen'an Hou was. Although he had no intersection, he was still clear about some things.
Zhen'an Hou's surname was Li, who died of illness while serving in office. He was the former Yangzhou Defense Envoy.
