Chapter 344: The reason for being stingy
Han Jian returned from the inn and did not go back to the East Prince's Mansion directly, but went to find Gu Weipan to inquire about the recent situation of the families in Luoyang after they moved to Jiangdu. ~~~~
Gu Weipan was responsible for reception and resettlement, but the funds were allocated from the Dongwang Mansion. The imperial court was tight, so Gu Weipan's Qiaofu couldn't cook without rice. All he could do was to deal with it. As for the specific resettlement, the reason why Yang Xiuxiu and others went to the Dongwang Mansion to make trouble later.
When Han Jian saw Gu Weipan, he asked some questions first, and Gu Weipan also answered. According to Gu Weipan's idea, since there is not much money now, it is better to let these families raise them by themselves, which is consistent with Han Jian's original idea.
"...Luoyang is now seriously annexed, and most of these old expensive lands are occupied by newcomers. They are forced to reach the land of Jiangdu because they cannot." Han Jian analyzed what he knew these days, "Yang Yu did not seem to have any obstacles to this, but instead opened a convenient gatekeeper and allowed these old Luoyang nobles to migrate to Jiangdu. This is beyond reason."
Gu Weipan nodded and said, "Suddenly so many people came, it really made Jiang Du anxious."
Han Jian smiled and said that the person who was in a hurry was not the Dongwang Mansion, but the Luoyang faction headed by Gu Weipan.
"Teacher Gu, tomorrow I can only be asked to come and do some miscellaneous work for you. In terms of salary, the East Prince's Mansion will be responsible, no problem?" Han Jian suddenly said before leaving.
"Who?" Gu Weipan became cautious. He felt that Han Jian might be putting eyeliners into the court.
Han Jian smiled and said, "It's Princess Anping. Today she took people outside the Eastern Palace to cause trouble, but I stopped her. However, if she couldn't properly resettle, she would make trouble. So I told her to come to the court to help, and I'll ask Grand Tutor Gu to make arrangements for her."
"Yes." Gu Weipan felt relieved when he heard that it was Princess Anping.
Others may be the eyewitness of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Princess Anping was a "personal person" in the eyes of the Luoyang faction led by Gu Weipan. When Yang Xiuxiu's family came to Jiangdu and had no choice but to ask for help, Gu Weipan also asked someone to take out some money to send it to the inn to respond to Yang Xiuxiu's emergency.
"Wait, do you think Princess Anping? She... is a woman who comes to the court. What is the job? Should she be a female official for Your Majesty?" Gu Weipan agreed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that something was wrong, so she looked at Han Jian who was about to go.
Han Jian said: "I just let her be a choreer. As for the heavy work, she doesn't have to do it, but some basic serving tea and water still need to be done. Mr. Gu should not take care of her identity and not arrange work for her. Mr. Gu is a serious official in the court. After all, he did not treat her badly, right?"
Gu Weipan didn't say anything, his expression was very strange, and his eyes were also a little weird when he looked at Han Jian.
He thought to himself that he could really think about asking a princess to come and do odd jobs. But after Han Jian said this, it seemed to be reasonable.
Although Yang Xiuxiu was Princess Anping, she was also an outdated nobleman. After Prince Anping died, Prince Anping's Mansion was no longer as good as before. If Prince Anping had not presided over Youdao, Prince Anping's Mansion would have declined long ago. Now there are indeed few people who can help the imperial cabinet. Outsiders Gu Weipan can't use it, and his own people are not qualified to serve tea and water, so they have to find a few guards to help. Gu Weipan once mentioned this to Han Jian.
Gu Weipan personally sent Han Jian out, and Han Jian came out just in time to meet Lin Ke, the Minister of the Eastern Pavilion.
Originally, the Minister of the Dongge was divided into only ones, but because of the simplified position of the imperial court, Lin Ke directly became the Minister of the Dongge and took over the Dongge alone. However, the Dongge was just an empty yamen.
Lin Ke had been recovering from his nose when he met the "Queen" before, and Han Jian had never met him. Lin Ke was also among Han Jian's "careful" characters. He was mainly at the Queen's Bedroom, just like Gu Weipan, and he might have guessed that the Queen inside was not the real person.
"Shangshu Lin, long time no see?"
When Lin Ke saw Han Jian, he avoided Han Jian and seemed to not want to come over to say hello. However, Han Jian took the initiative to greet him and greeted him.
Lin Ke touched his nose with his hand, coughed lightly, bowed and bowed: "The King of the East has come and has not been welcomed, so please forgive me."
"It's not strange if you don't know." Han Jian smiled at Lin Ke's nose when he spoke, which made Lin Ke quite embarrassed. Originally, Han Jian thought Lin Ke would still confront him, but he didn't expect that when he saw him again, he could be so low-key.
Han Jian was surprised and said goodbye first and left, and Lin Ke also entered the yard.
The next day, Han Jian personally took Lin Xiaosu to the new "Anping County Prince's Mansion" and told the court that he had "recruited" Yang Xiuxiu.
Originally, Yang Xiuxiu was helping her husband wash clothes in the yard, but because it was inconvenient in the inn, the family was mostly female relatives, and some clothes were not convenient to dry. As soon as she moved over, she had to wash and dry them quickly. After all, after spring, some clothes would become moldy.
But at this moment, she heard a rumble at the door, as if there were many horse boots lying on the ground.
"Bangbangbang!" The gate of the courtyard was knocked, followed by Han Jian's voice, "Open the door!"
Yang Xiuxiu was also surprised. She thought that she would move here and the King of Dong would definitely ignore her. It would be difficult for him to go to the King of Dong to cause trouble in the future, but she did not expect Han Jian to come in person.
"Hurry up and clean up." Yang Xiuxiu saw that the yard was full of women's clothes, so she pointed to the yard inside, "Hang it inside."
But at this moment, the people outside seemed to be very upset: "If you don't open the door, I'll be hit!"
Yang Xiuxiu was so angry that she thought to herself who her home was. She didn't have time to clean up, for fear of being broken into the house, she would lose all her morals.
She hurriedly wiped the water stains on her hands on her clothes and went forward to open the door. When she opened the door, Han Jian stood arrogantly and domineeringly at the door, making Yang Xiuxiu angry when she saw it.
"The King of the East has arrived, but I have not arrived to welcome you. Please forgive me." Yang Xiuxiu bowed and said.
Han Jian frowned and looked at Yang Xiuxiu, who was a little untidy, coughed, and walked in and said, "This is all this. Can you change something fresh?"
"Hey!" Yang Xiuxiu lowered her head. When she raised her head, she found that the man seemed to have entered her own door. She stalked and walked in. She hurriedly shouted, but it was too late. Han Jian saw all the women's clothes in the yard.
"Tsk tsk." Han Jian said in a mocking tone, "It's really unlucky to see it."
"Who told you... to come in without invitation?" Yang Xiuxiu resented and quickly asked the servants to clean up. At this time, there was only one person who followed Han Jian into the yard. Yang Xiuxiu also knew him, and that was Lin Xiaosu who had been here yesterday. "Hello, Butler Lin."
Yang Xiuxiu was very "polite" to Lin Xiaosu, mainly because Lin Xiaosu helped a lot yesterday and seemed to have given her preferential treatment.
Han Jian looked around and said, "Ms. Yang is still used to living here?"
Yang Xiuxiu thought to herself, she had just moved here for a day, so she was not used to it. Yesterday, because of the rats in the yard, the whole family couldn't fall asleep.
Because the migrants were all female relatives this time, she had long dismissed the male servants of the Anping County Prince's Mansion. The result was that now the rats were in the yard, so she could only expect her second brother to "save the whole family" alone, but her second brother was only a thirteen-year-old boy, and she had the strength to eat but no strength to catch the rats.
The family didn’t sleep well all night, is this a habit of calling?
"Habit." Yang Xiuxiu replied, "That's thanks to your care of His Highness Dongwang."
When Han Jian heard this, he knew that it was not sincere, but he came here just to watch the fun. He had long expected that Yang Xiuxiu's "sweet body and flesh are expensive", so he would not live in such a place without any ease.
"I came this time to inform Miss Yang that Grand Tutor Gu has decided to hire you as a scholastic servant, and you must go over and take the post as soon as possible."
Yang Xiuxiu cursed in her heart that the slutty traitors would also have to take up their posts, just like asking for a new official to take office.
"Forgive your Highness, Your Highness Dong Wang, the little girl's family has just moved here, and there are still many things to be cleaned up. I'm afraid it will take two days to... take up the post. Yes, yes."
Han Jian's voice calmed down and said, "In two days? Will Miss Yang be preparing to absent from work?"
"Isn't it... absent from work? The little woman is just..."
When Yang Xiuxiu saw Han Jian's joking eyes, she remembered what Han Jian said before that she could take sick leave, but she would never take any leave. It also means that she would be fired as long as she did not do well.
Yang Xiuxiu thought to herself, I don’t want to do the job. But if I don’t do it, if I get fired by him, he will have reason not to help my family. What should I do if my family is young?
"When will you take office?" Yang Xiuxiu asked directly.
"Now." Han Jian said coldly.
"You!" Yang Xiuxiu really wanted to scold people, but she still held back. She wanted to remain a lady in front of others. "Then Your Highness Dong Wang also has to wait for the little girl to get rid of her makeup, right?"
Han Jian looked at Yang Xiuxiu's makeup. She was indeed not as polished as she did yesterday. At home, she was completely like a housewife. However, Yang Xiuxiu was born with beautiful beauty. Although she was twenty-one years old, she was in her prime and had a bit of a little woman's charm.
"Okay." Han Jian nodded, "I'll wait here."
"Please invite your highness." Yang Xiuxiu took the opportunity to invite him and said to you, letting you go inside and take a look. Your good housekeeper can bring a lot of good things to our family.
Han Jian was invited into the "main hall", saying that it was the main hall, but it was just a temporary piece of tables, chairs and benches. Yang Xiuxiu was very concerned about face. In order to make the Anping County Prince's Mansion "revitalize" her, she could say that she pieced together all the tables and chairs that Yang Xiuxiu came from yesterday into this room. After careful cleaning of the family, the main hall was already very decent.
"This..." Han Jian frowned after entering the door, as if he had entered a doghouse.
"The King of the East, the humble house is simple and cannot be seen by your Dharma." Yang Xiuxiu said sarcastically.
But Han Jian suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Xiaosu and said, "Butler Lin, I remember asking you to find someone to bring some red sandalwood tables and chairs. Why is this... not like it?"
"What?" Yang Xiuxiu looked at Lin Xiaosu. She always thought that Lin Xiaosu was the one who treated her with favorable treatment, so many things were transported to her. It turned out that there were good things that were "limited".
Lin Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiuxiu and said to Han Jian: "It's probably inappropriate to use rosewood for such a small yard, right?" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
