Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

Han Yan's new house is also located in a relatively remote place on Zhuque Street. It was originally the residence of a court official.The traffic location is not very good, the only advantage is that it is big.But a few years ago, the court official resigned due to some errands, and Han Yan, who likes to collect real estate, bought this house.

Since the former owner was a ceremony official, the decoration of this mansion is more elegant and indifferent. There are rockery and lotus ponds in the mansion, exotic flowers and herbs, boxwood planted everywhere, and a hundred flowers are magnificent.Don't have exquisite houses, with winding paths leading to secluded places.After Han Yan bought it, she has been making additions, subtractions, and changes according to her own preferences. Liu Che is familiar with the secret passages leading from the firecracker workshop to various places.But what Liu Che didn't know was that Han Yan also modified some water applications according to the habits of later generations, such as common flush toilets, bathtubs and even showers used for bathing.Han Yan has always had a small cleanliness obsession that is not known to outsiders. The wooden barrels used for bathing in Gonggaohou's Mansion and even the palace before have corroded the wood for a long time, giving the illusion of being dirty.So Han Yan had no choice but to change the wooden barrels very diligently. Now that he has the opportunity, it is natural to come as convenient as possible.

Taking into account the current customs and habits, most of the places such as the front hall for receiving guests still use painted buildings, waterside pavilions, fish ponds and bird gardens.But Han Yan has always been obsessed with the bright scene of "golden autumn osmanthus, ten miles of lotus".Therefore, according to the memory, the front hall was changed into a small bridge and flowing water like a small south of the Yangtze River, which is beautiful and elegant.A small West Lake has been repaired as if it were real, and it has created an elegant charm of a broken bridge and snow in winter.

The biggest change is the backyard where Han Yan lives.Han Yan even asked people to replace the screens on the windows with glass, making the room spacious and bright for a while.At the end of the year and the cold winter, all the heating devices in the inner room hit the ground dragon, and the port was at the handyman's office in the north, burning bamboo charcoal day and night like no money.The whole inner courtyard is hot.This is one of the benefits that Han Yan has ordered her subordinates to study the greenhouse for more than ten years.At the end of this year, the research on the greenhouse has made great progress, and now it can supply fresh vegetables and fruits.It's just that the quantity of the first batch of vegetables and fruits is not too much, apart from saving some to send to Qibaozhai for branding, we still have to figure out who to give them to.However, there will be a second batch after a few months, which can be regarded as barely enough.Anyway, if you want to eat hot pot now, you can definitely do it.Thinking of this, Han Yan couldn't help but smile and rolled her eyes—the obsession with appetite is a preference that Han Yan could not change in her past and present lives, nor did she want to change it.Sometimes Han Yan even rejoiced that she had given birth to a child of an aristocratic family after time travel, and she could just order her servants to do whatever she wanted to eat and do.Otherwise, the stomach will suffer.

The general layout of the spacious inner room is still in accordance with the system of the Han Dynasty, except that the short bed has been replaced by a strong mahogany bed, without a soft mattress, and Han Yan is accommodating. After being exposed to the sun, a few thick layers are applied, and it looks soft and warm.On the ground is a whole piece of carpet from the Western Region Taodeng. The patterns on it are magnificent and magical unique to the Western Regions. The soft fur on the ground with bare feet twitches the palms of the hands, making the corners of the lips curled up involuntarily.A large full-length mirror was placed against the wall, and the mercury mirror surface replaced the fuzzy and yellowish copper mirror. It can illuminate people without any hair, and it is a hundred times clearer than before.There are also several such mirrors in the study room, which look like lampshades, and it is much brighter when reading at night.

Of course, according to Han Yan's habitual style of flattery, such good things were sent to the palace in large quantities at the beginning of their formation. Part of the empress dowager, part of Liu Che, part of Gillian, and Wang Zhi looked at Liu Che's The relationship also barely gave a small part.Whether they keep them for themselves or give them away to buy people's hearts, it has nothing to do with me.

Those outside the palace were sent according to their closeness and number.Needless to say, grandpa Han Tui was there, Tiaohou Mansion and Tangyihou Mansion must be delivered.The Prime Minister Wei Wan, Wu'an Hou Tianfu, and Li Ling, Shi Qing, Cheng Ying, and Gongsun He brothers who were the prince's companions also loosened a few pieces.Han Yan has lived in the palace for more than ten years, and really doesn't have many acquaintances.After sending it back and forth, there was still a lot left, so I packed it up and put it in the warehouse. I was going to sell it in Qibaozhai after the empress dowager and Liu Che finished their rewards, and search for a batch of gold and silver money again.

After finally going out of the palace, Han Yan felt comfortable all over.Laying on the bed and refusing to get up.In the end, the housekeeper Han Zhong came over and shouted, "Young Master Ah Yan, you really have to get up, your colleagues are all here to celebrate you."

"What celebration?" Han Yan narrowed her eyes unwillingly, and rubbed her face against the brocade quilt under her body.

"Happy to celebrate your son's housewarming!" Han Zhong felt a little helpless. His son was good at everything, but he was too casual in terms of human relationships.Let's take moving as an example, even if he is a bastard, even if the family has been separated, there is no one who would move out of the house and live alone without his parents alive.Fortunately, everyone knows about the bad things in Gonggaohou's mansion, and they also know that Han Yan's so-called moving out of Gonggaohou's mansion was driven out by her father.My master is willing to talk to the son outside again.Although Hou Ye looked down on the young master, he was still an upright gentleman who advocated Confucianism and disdained to turn right from wrong.When asked by outsiders, they only said that they were afraid that the concubine's future would oppress the concubine's son, so why not separate them and live their own lives, so that no one will be delayed.Otherwise, everyone should think that the son is so disobedient that even his own father won't tolerate it!

"Oh!" Hearing this, Han Yan scratched her head in confusion before getting up from the bed.He didn't know that Han Zhong was sighing repeatedly in his heart. After washing and dressing upside down, he straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, then cleared his throat, and asked, "Who's here?"

"Young Master Ming Jin, Young Master Wu'an Hou Tianfu, Young Master Li Ling, Young Master Shi Qing, Young Master Cheng Ying... Oh, Young Master Ah Shuo and Wei Qing are also here," Han Zhong added at last.

Han Yan scratched her head. "Since I have already moved out of Gonggaohou's mansion, they don't have to stay in the mansion any longer. Let's move some of their tools over here someday!"

"This..." Han Zhong frowned.Some hesitation.

"It's nothing, it's just to keep the two of you by your side for good education. By the way, you can stop by and ask grandpa when you pass by. If he likes the old man, he can come and stay for two days." Han Yan instructed.In fact, he wanted Han Tuido to come and live with him.It's just that Han Ru is extremely filial, if he really does this, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him.Although Han Yan disdained Han Ru's small belly, she didn't want to punish him to death.

"No!" Han Zhong responded with a bow.

Since they are all acquaintances, Han Yan doesn't care too much.Walked to the front yard on an empty stomach.

In the main hall, Zhou Mingjin and the others looked at the decorations in the hall with some novelty and looked around.Although the front yard was installed according to the customs of the Han Dynasty, but with Han Yan's temperament, the subtleties are different.Although the appearance of the tables and seats has not changed, the colors and paintings are much brighter. In addition, small changes have been made in various places in the hall. Realistic fake flowers are placed in vases made of glass, and sprinkled on top of the fake flowers. It has the same fragrance as the flower type.For a while, it also made the room much brighter, giving people a relaxed and lively feeling.

Han Yan walked into the lobby calmly, seeing how everyone was standing or sitting, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Why did you come here so early?"

"It's still early?" Hearing this, Zhou Mingjin looked at the sky outside and shook his head and smiled wryly. "It's almost noon. It's getting late."

Han Yan smiled and shook her head. "You guys are really cruel. I finally had a relaxing day, and they all ran over to make trouble. You also came here at noon, tell me, do you all want to come here for a meal?"

Li Ling said with a smile: "We all know that where there is Han Yan, there must be daily Chinese things. Now that I see it, it really is so."

"This decoration is really exquisite!" Tian Fu walked to a vase and stood still, looked at it carefully for a while, and said in admiration. "There are also all kinds of flowers, which are made to look like real ones. I was so scared that I thought they really bloomed in winter!"

"In two months, you may really see winter flowers!" Han Yan said casually, and then asked, "Are you all hungry! Let's go, I'll take you to eat hot pot!"

"Hot pot?" Everyone couldn't help being surprised.

"You'll know when we get there!" Han Yan said indifferently, and then led the crowd to Merlin's side.At the end of the cold winter, the little red plums wrapped in silver are extraordinarily enchanting.In the middle of the forest is an ornamental pavilion, made of white jade, surrounded by crystal clear glass.In the center of the pavilion was a round stone table, on which lay several jugs of hot wine, and a strangely shaped metal container was placed in the center, under which the charcoal fire was burning vigorously, emitting faint blue flames.There are more than a dozen stone benches placed around.A thick futon had already been spread on the stool, which looked quite warm.

The maidservant who was watching at the side saw everyone coming, and immediately opened the door to let everyone in.When everyone walked into the door, they were still a little curious, if there was no little maid to open the door.No one noticed where there was a gap.

As soon as Pu entered the pavilion, a gust of hot air rushed towards him, the temperature was so warm that people couldn't wear the clothes on his body.After the servant girl took off their heavy coats, everyone went to the stone table and gathered around the table to prepare.

Han said that he looked around curiously, and asked, "Brother, is this a hot pot?"

"No, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, everyone gathers together to eat hot pot, drink warm wine, and look at the beautiful scenery outside. This is the real enjoyment!" Han Yan shook her head and commented.The servants at the time filed in and brought in plates containing green vegetables, fish balls, meatballs, seafood, and sliced ​​meat one by one.

Everyone glanced at the green vegetables on the plate and couldn't help being stunned. "Is this green vegetables?"

"When is it, there are still vegetables?"

"No way! This is real, isn't it made of the silk cloth just now?"

Han Yan's expression became more and more complacent when she heard everyone's fuss. "It's really vegetables. I asked them to fiddle with them according to ancient books. Later, when you go home, you will also take some. It's winter, and you always get tired of eating meat." Everyone agreed happily.A maidservant came over to distribute bone dishes, dipping materials and other items to everyone, and put them neatly.Then, the meat and vegetables were sent into the soup base with dense soup in batches. After a while, the meat and vegetables were cooked, and Han Yan gathered everyone to start eating and drinking.

But this is too much to eat.Although Han Yan's relocation was not announced to everyone with great fanfare, those who are interested will naturally be able to find out.Now Han Yan is receiving divine favor, and her status is so special.Through the two edicts promulgated by the new emperor's first court meeting, the ministers clearly saw Han Yan's influence on the little emperor and his own abilities.Whether it is those who are close to the queen mother or the officials and ministers who are ready to be loyal to the emperor, they all want to win over.Even if you can't get along with each other, you have to get acquainted with each other.Therefore, just after noon, when the auspicious time came, the ministers, officials and nobles came to visit in twos and threes. Those who sent people directly to give gifts were fine, and they were sent back after politely treating them to a cup of tea, but those who came in person, regardless of their closeness Far and near have to entertain.

Later, Guantao Chang Taizhu and his wife brought their children, Dou Ying (this old guy just heard the news that the Empress Dowager wanted to recruit a son-in-law) took his son, Zhou Yafu took his whole family, Han Duidang, Li Guang, Cheng Bu Knowledge and others came hand in hand.

Wei Wan thinks that Han Yan is his favorite disciple, so he also came here with Zhao Wan and Wang Zang.He knew that Han Yan had lived in the palace for a long time and was not very familiar with the ministers outside.The original intention was just to make Han Yan popular, but Wei Wan is humble and polite, and the staff is quite nice.He also likes to promote talents, and the officials who are familiar with him and the royalist faction also came to join in the fun to cheer him on when they saw his actions. When the Habayashi Army got off their drills, all the soldiers and children made an appointment to give to their leader Come over and step on your breath, and the number of people suddenly increased.

And when Liu Che finished dealing with the important government affairs, and when he and Gillian changed into ordinary clothes after being idle and bored and arrived at Han Yan's new house, the atmosphere completely exploded——

Almost all the officials above six hundred shi in Beijing, as well as the ministers who had just loosened the gifts before, all packed up and came to visit in person. For a while, Han Yan’s mansion was made like the emperor’s dynasty, and everyone who should come or not should come. .

At this time, we can see the benefits of a big house.Han Yan was already quite old when she bought the mansion. In order to repair the small West Lake, Han Yan also spent a lot of money to buy three surrounding houses. Together, a mansion can catch up with a small palace.It is no problem to gather 8000 people in such a huge house.The difficulty lies in how to arrange it properly.

In the end, Han Yan had no choice but to temporarily decide to close Hanzhuang Restaurant for a day, and pulled all the shopkeepers and shopkeepers of Hanzhuang Restaurant here to receive guests.Sure enough, professional things have to be done by professionals. When the people from the restaurant came for less than a quarter of an hour, everything was in order.Han Yan directly led the acquaintances into the inner courtyard.The garden in the inner courtyard was deserted, and there was only a house with unique materials standing quietly in one corner.Han Yan led everyone in.The sights we saw were astounding.

In the warm and spring-like house, there are clusters of flowers, and there are potted flowers everywhere, graceful peonies, elegant chrysanthemums, magnificent roses... It's a pity that they are all half-bloomed.However, in the cold winter at the end of the year, the shy charm of many flowers and plants that are about to bloom is also very interesting.

A Jiao stepped forward to touch it curiously, then leaned closer to smell it, and exclaimed in amazement: "Oh my god, it's really a flower!"

"It's a pity that only this one is finished. I've already built a few more greenhouses on the Zhuangzi outside the city. It is estimated that flowers will be cultivated in a while. There are also special vehicles for escorting. After all the flowers and plants bloom, I will give some to everyone!" Han Yan said with a smile.After a pause, he opened his mouth and said, "I guess it will be the New Year at that time. This is really in line with the new year's new atmosphere."

Liu Che went to look around, listened to Han Yan's words, and said, "That's not necessary, you just need to lead people to build a few greenhouses in the palace. By the way, find someone to teach the gardeners in the palace how to serve them."

"No!" Han Yan replied respectfully.

Everyone among them knew that this was another profitable business of Qibaozhai, so they couldn't easily ask for it.In addition, rough people like Zhou Yafu, who are valuable and can beg for money, have no interest in these flowers and plants.But Wei Wan and Dou Ying and others have the heart of appreciating flowers, but they are too embarrassed to ask for their demeanor that they are self-proclaimed gentlemen and do not take advantage of others, so they are bored and silent.Only the head Taoist of the Guantao ignored the matter, and said, "Can I take two pots when I leave? The smell of these flowers is refreshing. I want to put two in the inner room, and I can't sleep." Can sleep soundly!"

Han Yan smiled indifferently, and said casually, "Okay!"

A maidservant walked in with a few brocade seats respectfully, and filled the greenhouse with seats according to the rules of ordinary people's banquets.As the Son of Heaven and the Mother of the Country, Liu Che and A Jiaogui naturally wanted to sit at the top of the list.The rest of the people sat on the left and right sides according to their status.A maid came in with fresh melons and fruits.Liu Che called by name and said, "Didn't you guys eat some hot pot just now? Don't make any dishes later. I also want to eat hot pot for the occasion."

Of course, everyone has no objection.Han Yan played tricks on Han Zhong, and Han Zhong sent people to Hanzhuang Restaurant to search for all the hot pots, as well as the small and exquisite copper hot pots that blacksmith Li had made before, and put them on the table one by one. above.

The essence of hot pot is that everyone gathers together to drink and eat food, and now Liu Che and Gillian are at the table.With different identities, Han Yan didn't have the guts to say this suggestion.They had to ask someone to put a hot pot on each table, and a maidservant stood behind each table to prepare the dishes.Drinking mellow wine, neither fish nor fowl has a special style.

The meal was so extravagant and extravagant that even the aristocratic family who claimed to have seen all kinds of big scenes felt a little dazzled.Originally, they thought that wooing Han Yan was just a show for the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, but now it seems that money is touching, and many people are secretly thinking about how to "go further" with Han Yan.

And Han Yan's "talent for a rich country" also came into everyone's attention in a very special way.This unique banquet spread so casually.

Early the next morning, Han Yan, who had a hangover due to being drunk the night before, was vigorously shaken awake by Zhou Mingjin, who just went to court, and a not-so-good news came along—

A censor reported that Han Yan, a doctor of the Taizhong, was extravagant and licentious, and his majesty asked for a thorough investigation.

When Han Yan found out from Tian Fu that this impoverished censor suddenly made a small fortune a few days ago and had a close relationship with Yangwu Hou Wangxin, she couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling, with a hint of contempt on her lips radians.
