This is New Year's Eve.
Qian Xinyao reacted.
Hurry up and ordered a banquet to invite Han Jiang over.
As a result, after asking, Han Jiang was already half drunk and was singing out-of-tune songs with Han Tongqing in front of the stove. No one dared to disturb him.
Forget it, the banquet was held in the backyard, and the front hall was held for the servants to make them happy.
When giving the reward, Qian Xinyao sat on the top, followed the rules one by one, and everyone took it themselves, so don’t send it one by one.
The head of the family was drunk, and the servants and guards were eating and drinking on their own, and there were no taboos. Soon someone stood on the table and started singing and dancing. Anyway, it was lively and everyone was happy.
At midnight, the new year has arrived.
According to the usual manners, Han Jiang went to say a few words of New Year's greetings.
But Han Jiang was still in front of the oven.
When Qian Kuan went to find Han Jiang, Han Jiang looked at the crescent moon in the sky with his hands behind his back, while Han Tongqing stood in front of the oven with his hands on his chest. While Ge Bi was holding a wine glass in one hand, he kept a smile on his face.
All three of them were motionless.
Qian Kuan approached: "Master."
Han Jiang waved his hand: "Don't talk, wait a moment."
Qian Kuan was a little surprised what happened.
After a while, Han Tongqing turned around and said, "On the fifth day of the first lunar month, I plan to go north, go to Goryeo first, and then go to Changbai Mountain to check out, do some official duties for you, and then see what good food is there. It's great to live."
It's good to be alive.
This is a bit strange.
Qian Kuan did not hear sadness from these words, and it seemed more like a kind of determination.
"Let's go."
"Yeah." Han Jiang also followed him out.
But Ge Bi was still sitting there with a smile on his face, motionless.
Qian Kuan was confused, but he didn't rush to speak, and quickly followed Han Jiang.
Han Jiang said at this time: "Tell me that the whole mansion will be clean, and it will be banned from drinking and eating today, and enjoy silk for seven days. I ordered people to pick up the coffin and let our people prepare ebony coffins."
When the Hongye Club was in charge, Ge Bi wanted to buy himself a coffin.
There are better ones here in Han Jiang.
Prepared for Han Tuozhou.
Han Jiang believed that his father didn't mind transferring this coffin first.
When he walked outside the courtyard, Han Jiang said, "Ge Gong walked with a smile. He said he had seen the prosperous era. The last time when Chen Liang died, I really wanted to give a grand funeral, but I couldn't. We walked so many roads around us, and we faced many risks and life-and-death crises. Let's spread the word that I will help Ge Gong with the spirit."
Qian Kuan knelt on one knee, but wanted to speak but held back.
He really wanted to say that Han Jiang's current identity is not suitable for helping others, no matter who he is.
Han Jiang then ordered: "Transfer my order to recruit Chen Liang's fifth son into the army. He was the position of a clerk in the southern army. He was transferred to Ge Gong's eldest son to go south and set up the position of governor. I asked him to draw a map of the Qing Dynasty and the islands for three years. His yamen chose a job in the Mekong River area, and he was done like this."
Qian Kuan whispered, "Master, where is the title? Do you want to inherit the title?"
"These things will be done according to the rules, and the special case will be upgraded to a higher level."
"Yes, this is going to pass the message."
The news reached the backyard. After hearing this, the third girl of the Ge family, Cao Ruoying, fainted when she heard it. However, the eldest lady of the Ge family looked calm and told the people around her: "Go and open the blue paint box."
A shroud had been prepared in the box.
Ge Bi knew very well that he would earn one more day, so he kept his shroud on his body, not just shrouds, but even some items he had prepared to put in the coffin.
Also, some items left in your friends.
Han Jiang also has a portion, a stove that Ge Ji has used for ten years and a stove that burns tea.
No sadness.
The Ge family, except for the third girl of the Ge family whom she married, now named Cao Ruoying, the rest of the others were not much sad. Ge Bi had talked with them for a long time before.
Now he has long been indifferent to life and death.
Family members can understand it too.
Although Ge Bi is only sixty-six years old this year, he is content.
Mourning, white diamonds hang red.
Ge Bi's letter was sent to Lin'an. Han Tuozhou invited many people to come. First, it was a banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year. There were no one in the Han family at home at the moment, so they invited more people who were not in Lin'an, such as Hong Mai, Liu Zheng and others.
Han Jiang was not at home, and Han Tongqing went to find Han Jiang. The rest of the people, Han Zhao, wanted to be a general with the army, went to Mingzhou to prepare for the affairs of the southern expedition. Han Qi used the excuse to do a big thing. In fact, he was really going to play this time, so he followed Zhai Jian.
Speaking of Liu Zheng, he was originally in Lin'an, but after Han Jiang made a big fuss last time, he was scared.
After he escaped that time, he asked his family to return to his hometown and no longer live in Lin'an.
Ge Bi's letter explained in detail Han Jiang's proposal and his own design plan that conforms to the current situation, and asked Han Tuozhou to personally supervise and implement it as soon as possible.
At the beginning of the banquet, Chen Fuliang came.
He also brought one person, Yang Zhongfu.
Although Yang Zhongfu has a low official position, he is also a very famous person at present. His attainments in astronomy, several improvements to sextant, and in-depth research on oceanography have given him the reputation of a master.
In addition to these people, some people who have no home have also come.
Zhao Xuexia.
A member of the royal family outside the Song Dynasty, but she had no home.
My sister is already married, and her family is not hers. Han Tuozhou is determined to invite all the people in Lin'an City.
Last night, the palace banquet was the same.
Emperor Zhao Kuo just showed his face and left the excuse of being unable to bear the opportunity to drink.
None of the rest of the royal family came out, and it was Han Tuozhou's home court.
Ge Bi's letter was very happy. The grand ceremony in the suburbs of Beijing could still be held. This not only puts the royal face on it, but also has many benefits.
Meng Jiuluo was very excited and toasted a circle of wine with a bottle.
"You can't do it. The Jin people occupied the old kiln, and they can burn porcelain. Now the only one who can really burn porcelain is our Jiangnan West Road, hahaha."
"Mad, you're mad."
Hong Mai didn't give Meng Jiuluo any good expression: "You have been in Jiangnan West Road for ten years, and you can't climb to one of the nine famous kilns. If you count up, I still don't believe it. This is a rare opportunity to turn over. The famous kilns in the north that have been silent for many years are not fighting for their lives. Take out a few items at the bottom of the box, can you compare with Jiangnan West Road?"
Meng Jiuluo glanced at Hong Mai with his eyes slanted: "Anyway, there is nothing good on Jiangnan East Road. The official kilns in Lin'an City use porcelain materials transported from all over the country. Are the official kilns now still official kilns? If you want to talk about good things, Wancheng Army put some effort into it. Maybe there are some fine items, but my Jiangnan West Road is not weak."
Meng Jiuluo is confident.
First of all, have money.
Since Han Jiang fought with Jin Zhongdu, they had a position on the warship, Jiangnan West Road began to traffic in large quantities to the south. After the New Year, they went to sea from Guangzhou Prefecture. Regarding porcelain, Jingdezhen on Jiangnan West Road accounted for almost 50% of the porcelain.
Chapter completed!
