yes sire

The emperor went back to the palace without summoning officials to discuss matters in the warm pavilion today, and all the officials quietly exited the Huangji hall one by one.Wu Wenci was old and walked slowly, so Han You stood there and waited for him.

"Teacher," Han You stretched out his hand to help Wu Wenci walk out, and said as he walked, "I didn't have time to discuss today's matter with the teacher, so I asked the teacher to forgive me."

Wu Wenci was originally a little displeased with what Han You did today, but seeing him so respectful and polite, he calmed down a bit, was helped across the threshold of the main hall, and asked him slowly: "Do you really want to check the land, renovate and annex the land?" Is it a disadvantage?"

"That's not true," Han You said, "It's just that His Majesty was worried about military expenses, so he called me into the palace for a talk last night."

Wu Wenci frowned, "Is that what His Majesty meant?"

Han You replied ambiguously: "The students think this is what His Majesty meant."

"The land survey will affect the whole body. The old man advises you not to touch this hard bone." Wu Wenci said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty is still young, young and energetic, and wants to do great things, but you have to know how to measure it. Who cares about the land?" To move is to seek death."

"Students know."

After passing through Huiji Gate, Wu Wenci patted Han You's hand: "Let's walk again, you accompany me to the cabinet. You will officially join the cabinet soon, so it's better to go and get acquainted first."

Han You agreed, and the two walked slowly towards the small courtyard of the cabinet.On the way to a place where there were few people, Wu Wenci explained his real intention of looking for Han You today, which turned out to be for his son.

Wu Shijie and Han You didn't get along very well, and now Wu Shijie was working under Han You. Although Wu Wenci knew that Han You would not deliberately embarrass Wu Shijie, he still couldn't help but want to say hello to Han You in advance, so that Han You took care of him a lot.

Han You said: "It's natural, teacher don't need to worry."

"I originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity for him to be transferred, and I mentioned it above, but now that it is going to be open for business, Shijie is in charge of the business market, and it is time for him to work, so let him exercise in this position for two more days." year." Wu Wenci paused and said, "You should put more thought into bringing him along."

"I'm afraid Shijie still has a lump in his heart about what happened to Teng's tofu shop last time."

Wu Wenci waved his hand: "I've already told him, he doesn't dare to mess around again. If you find anything wrong with him in the future, come to me directly."

These words are for Han You to save face for Wu Shijie in the future, don't do everything in business, and take care of him in private.Han You had thought about this when he wanted to be the Secretary of the Household Department. The teacher's son was under his control and he was at odds with him. I'm afraid it would be very difficult to deal with affairs in the future.

Now I really have this problem.

It can only be said that I feel sorry for the parents of the world. The teacher said so much, so Han You had no choice but to answer: "Yes, the students know."

Accompanying the teacher to the cabinet, and sitting in the teacher's office for a while, Han Youcai went out of the palace alone and returned to the yamen of the household department.

He and Wu Wenci talked lightly about opening up business, but in fact, after the news was uploaded from the court meeting, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire capital.

Everyone knows that doing business is lucrative, and if one and a half official business can be obtained, the wealthy party is just around the corner.Because of the ancestral system of suppressing commerce, no one dared to mention it before, but now that it has passed the court meeting, the eyes of those who seek profit are all fixed on the Ministry of Households.

It was almost Xu time to send away the last group of officials who asked for an interview.Han You stood up and stretched his stiff back, feeling dizzy, tired and hungry.

As soon as he entered the duty room of the household department, he was too busy to have time to eat, so he ate two bites of snacks in Changle Palace in the morning all day long.After drinking tea all afternoon, I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach.

The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, and from extravagance to frugality is difficult. After living in the palace for a period of time and being taken care of so well, it is difficult to adapt to the restoration of the old rhythm of life.

Han San ordered the sedan chair to stop at the door of the household department, took Han You into the sedan chair, and handed him a delicate cup, saying, "Sir, eat something to fill your stomach first."

Han You lifted the lid and smelled the sweet smell of Sydney. It was his favorite pear and white fungus porridge recently.He was wondering why the carefree Han San was suddenly so careful today, and knew how to prepare his favorite porridge, when Han San opened the curtain and said to him, "This is just delivered from the palace."

Han You nodded, took a sip from the small cup, the temperature of the mouth was suitable, sweet but not greasy, the white fungus was stewed until it melted, it was his favorite taste, it seems that Feng Ke has been trusted by two generations of emperors for so many years Not without reason.

Holding the small cup in his hands, Han You thought to himself, wondering what Xia Siyan was doing at this time, he must have already had dinner with his second brother.

During the recuperating days in Changle Palace, after they had dinner every day, the emperor would teach the second elder brother to write for a while, while Han You would play with the dog or read a book.He is often so leisurely that people forget the time, giving birth to the illusion that there is no sun and moon in the palace.

He used to think that Xia Siyan liked beautiful women, lively, and having fun, and liked to hang out with dancers and musicians all day long, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that it was probably just for Gao Qing to see.Xia Siyan actually likes to be quiet, not like a child.

Return to Hanfu soon.

Han You got off the sedan chair in the sedan chair hall, walked around the screen wall to the backyard, and smelled a strong fragrance as soon as he reached the flower hall.

It was getting dark, and eight palace lanterns were lit in the flower hall, illuminating the hall with splendor.A copper pot was set up in the center of the flower hall, and it was gurgling and steaming, and the big round table where the copper pot was placed was full of dishes.There are all kinds of meat and vegetables neatly stacked on the plate, and there are always a dozen of them.

"Hot pot?" Han You said in surprise, "I haven't eaten hot pot for many years. Who made this?"

Han San smiled and replied: "Today is Mr.'s birthday, and Yunniang specially prepared it for him."

Han You was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "It's today, I forgot."

There is no hostess in the Han family, and Han San is a rough person. Since his parents passed away, Han You has never had a birthday, and it has been more than ten years in a flash.

At this time, Yun Niang came out from the kitchen with a plate of lamb cut as thin as paper, set it on the table, walked up to Han You and bowed, "Mr. is back." She looked back at the hot pot, "This is the taste that the servant tried out from memory. I don't know if it can restore the taste of Yuzhou. I hope you don't dislike it."

Han You showed a gentle smile, "It smells very authentic, Yunniang has a heart."

Yunniang was affirmed, her face flushed with joy, she glanced at Han San, then lowered her head and said, "Mister, please go and change first, the dishes are ready."

Not long after, Han You took a shower and changed into a straight black silk dress. His hair was not completely dry, so he tied it at the end with a hair tie casually, and walked to the flower hall.

This is the dress that does not accept outsiders. It is rare to have a leisure time. I sent a word to the concierge that no one will be seen, so I sat down and greeted Han San and Yun Niang to have hot pot together.

Yun Niang came with the pipa, sat aside, and said with a smile: "Sir, Yun Niang has already eaten, so let's sing a song here for sir."

After she finished speaking, she played the song that Han You hummed last time. Han You listened intently for a while, and the meat in the pot also floated up. Han San poured him a glass of wine.

While drinking some wine and listening to Yunniang's singing, the two big men also ate hot pot like a romantic.

Just after serving a jug of wine, the boy in the kitchen came to Han San and said that the Lin family who delivered the food had come to settle the bill, and asked the housekeeper to check the account.So Han San pleaded guilty and left the banquet, leaving Han You and Yun Niang in the flower hall.

Han You had always had a bad appetite, and he couldn't eat much at night. After Han San left, he lost the atmosphere of eating meat by himself, so he put down his chopsticks and drank slowly by himself.

At this time, Yunniang played a piece of music that Han You had never heard before.Han You stopped drinking and said in surprise, "I've never heard such an exquisite song before. Is it a new song?"

Yunniang shook her head, "This is a song written by a good sister of my family. At that time we were in Xiao Yulou, Yuzhou, and she played the piano and danced better than me. I am young and don't know how to cater to guests. My mother thinks I can't earn money. , to sell me to the landlord’s family as a concubine. It was my sister who taught me to play this song, and she told my mother that she would only dance and no longer play the piano, and forced her to keep me.”

The friendship between Yu Weishi is always moving, Han You sighed with regret, "Your sister who can write such a piece of music, but resolutely gave up playing the piano for you, is a real sweetheart."

After hearing this, Yunniang couldn't help crying, tears dripping on the pipa.Han You was taken aback, and asked, "Is your sister... not here?"

"Five years ago, a man came from Beijing and said he wanted to pick a girl who could sing and dance as a gift to the emperor... so he picked her away," Yunniang said intermittently, sobbing, "After that, we will be separated from each other." I haven't heard from her for [-] years... I don't know if she is still okay now."

"To the emperor?" Han You was startled, "What's her name?"

"Her name is Tao Man."

Han You nodded, but he didn't know whether the Tao Man Yunniang mentioned was the same person as the Xiao Man he had seen in the palace.

At this time, Yunniang stood up suddenly, put the pipa in her arms on the stool, walked forward to kneel in front of Han You, kowtowed and said: "I know that the master can often enter the palace, if the master can Help the slave family find Tao Man, the slave family is willing to be an ox or a horse to repay Mr.

Han You stretched out his hand to support her: "You don't have to do this, I will try my best to help you find it. There are only so many dancers and dancers in the palace. If you are sure that she is in the palace, you will definitely be able to find her."

Yunniang kowtowed again before getting up, and cried: "The slave family has cultivated the blessings of eight lifetimes to enter the Han family and meet such a good person as Mr."

Except for the maids and court ladies, Han You seldom comes into contact with women, and he has never comforted a crying woman.

Thinking that the person in front of him was Han San's sweetheart, and that she might marry Han San in the future and become a real Han family member, Han You couldn't help being more patient.He took a clean white silk hand from the table and handed it to her, and said gently: "Okay, don't cry, I will help you."

Yunniang reached out to pick it up, and just as she passed and picked it up, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "I said, why is Han Shangshu closing the door to thank guests? It turns out that there is Gillian in the golden room."

Han You turned around and saw Xia Siyan walking slowly into the flower hall, looking at him with a half-smile in his veiled eyes.
