Chapter 262 [Next appointment]

The day after Han Mo entered the camp, the Minister of Rites' Mansion had been repaired and it was still open for a few days. Therefore, the Japanese and Korean Xuanchang team began to move out of Han Xuandao's mansion and move to the Minister of Rites' Mansion on the Tongyuan Road.

Han Xuandao brought more than 100 people from Donghai County, including grooms, guards, warriors, maids, servants, chefs, etc., to be placed in the Minister of Rites' Mansion, which was more than enough.

The Minister of Rites was previously served as the member of the Wu family, and this mansion was once the Minister of the Wu family who lived.

The Wu family is based in Bozhou County, and there is some money. At that time, this mansion only took a lot of effort, including pavilions, towers, corridors and small pavilions, which are extremely elegant in themselves.

However, when the Ye and Wu families joined forces to rebel in Yanjing, the court cleared the rebellion in Beijing and killed the mansion directly. The Minister of Rites' Mansion was the base camp of the Wu family in Yanjing. At that time, it was also under bloody battle and was severely damaged. Therefore, it has been repairing it. The seriously damaged buildings were directly knocked down and removed, and those with relatively minor damage were spent on repairing.

Although many buildings have been demolished, the original general outline of the Minister of Rites' Mansion has not changed. The front hall, main hall, back garden, east and west courtyards, and then the side courtyard, academies, horse houses, and martial arts training grounds are also well-developed. The area occupied by the entire Minister of Rites' Mansion is not smaller than that of the Minister of Revenue where Han Xuandao is located.

Just like in Donghai County, Mrs. Han and Han Xuandao lived in the East Courtyard, and there were also front halls and back halls in the East Courtyard. Mrs. Han’s garden was in the Xiangqi Garden in the Front Hall.

Aunt Bi lives in Chuxiang Garden in the west courtyard.

Han Mo had a residence in Qirui Garden in the back hall of the East Courtyard, but just like in Donghai County, he still had someone build several elegant small pavilions in the back garden, and even wrote inscriptions by himself, called "Pinfeng Xiaopai".

It took two days to move, but fortunately there are many people and it is not too slow.

Aunt Bi's body became weaker and weaker, which finally alarmed Han Xuanchang. She went to the West Hospital for a visit in person and asked the doctor to take a closer look. However, he was busy with official duties and did not have much time to take care of this matter, so he just asked Mrs. Han to take care of her.

Mrs. Han also felt that Aunt Bi's body was getting weaker and weaker, which was quite strange. She wanted to hire a doctor, but was blocked by Aunt Bi several times. She only said that it would be fine after a while. She knew her body, so there was no need to worry too much.

Seeing that Aunt Bi insisted, Mrs. Han followed her, but asked her servants to make more body-tonifying supplements to nourish Aunt Bi's body.

...

...

It is no secret that the Han family and the Fan family’s children are in the upper class of Yanjing City. Everyone knows that Fan Yunao’s daughter is going to marry Han Xuanchang’s son.

The various factions in Yanjing are naturally different.

But for the Korean and Fan families, the faster the event is, the better. Only when it becomes a fact can the two families become a true alliance.

Before, the change of birth date and verbal engagement had been done. Next, according to the rules of Yan State, the man would take his re-hiring and future son-in-law to visit his father-in-law's house. According to the saying of Yan State, it is called "fare of family recognition".

The day after Han Xuanchang moved out of the Minister of Revenue, Han Xuandao, who was in charge of the marriage, brought Han Mo and prepared two carts of gifts to the Minister of War.

The Fan family naturally had prepared a lot and attached great importance to the marriage that maintained the family's future.

The relatives with status in the clan also gathered in the Fan Mansion, and the wives and wives gathered in the back hall, while the male members of the Fan Clan were waiting in front of the mansion. When they saw the arrival of the Han family's carriage and horses, they immediately played drums and music, which was very festive.

Han Xuandao got out of the car and came forward, and Fan Yunao quickly came forward. Both of them were smiling and looked kind.

Han Mo got out of the car and saw that the door of the Fan Mansion was full of Fan clans. Although he had always been brave, he was a prospective son-in-law coming to his house this time. This was the first time he had experienced this scene. Even on the battlefield in the past, he might not be nervous. However, in this scene today, he felt that his heart was beating violently. Seeing that the Fan clan was all over the world, he turned his eyes to him. Although he tried his best to show his freedom and calmness, his face was very red.

All the big and small figures of the Fan clan know Han Xuandao, but most of them are not qualified to go to court. Only a small number of officials who went to court have met Han Mo. At this time, when they saw Han Mos, elegant and elegant, and when they walked, they felt a sense of modesty and prudence, and they all secretly praised him.

Fan Yunao obviously loved this prospective son-in-law very much, so he immediately brought Han Mo and introduced all the members of the Fan family and all the big and small tribes to Han Mo one by one.

This is a major event in the clan. In addition to the officials in the Fan clan, there are also many clan elders who are not officials but have prestigious in the clan. None of them can be neglected. After this introduction, Han Mo kept smiling and felt that the muscles on his face were a little sore.

After introducing the tribe, Fan Yunao took Han Xuandao's hand and welcomed him into the mansion. Han Xuandao must not let his servants carry all the betrothal gifts to the mansion.

This batch of betrothal gifts was thought about by the Han family. They were not only precious, but also many items from Nanyang were transported back from Han Mo's fleet from Nanyang.

Even ordinary things in Nanyang are extremely precious to get to Zhongyuan. What's more, many of the Nanyang items in this batch of betrothal gifts are extremely expensive even on the Nanyang islands. When transported to Zhongyuan, they are even more of the finest products, and they can be considered a great capital.

This is to show the sincerity of the Han family. The most important point is to show the wealth of the Han family to the Fan family.

The Yan family and the Han family have always been ranked behind. This is considered from a comprehensive perspective. The most important aspects are the power of the North, family wealth and mobilization ability.

The Han family has always had a strong appeal in mobilization ability, and the Han family has implemented benevolent government in the East China Sea and has won the hearts of the people. Therefore, it is really not a false statement to say that the Han family responds to each other.

However, before Han Xuanchang entered Beijing, the Han family was not strong in the court. Compared with the Xiao family, the Su family, and the destruction of Ye and Wu families, they were far inferior, and they were just the same level as the Fan family and He family.

In terms of wealth, although the Han family relies on the sea, the undersea resources have always been strictly controlled by the court and cannot survive on the sea. The accumulation of wealth is naturally extremely weak.

So based on the three points, the overall strength of the Han family is not too strong.

However, Han Mo opened the sea route, which invisibly affected the economic situation of the East China Sea. After Bozhou County suppressed the rebellion, the Han family benefited greatly. The power in the court increased greatly, and the six ministries had already occupied two places. It can be said that they already had an absolute self-protection force in the court.

The Han family wanted to form an alliance with the Fan family, and naturally they wanted to let the Fan family see that the Han family not only had an increased power in the North Korea, but also had a strong economic foundation. It was the most appropriate method to show the Han family's economic potential to the Fan family through Nanyang goods.

After the two Korean and Fan families formed an alliance, the two families were consistent with each other, but there was naturally a distinction between the primary and secondary within. The Han family naturally had to rely on the Han family's power to lead the Fan family to follow the Han family's strategy.

This is like the alliance between the Xiao family and the He family. The power of the He family is definitely not weak in Yan State, but after forming an alliance with the powerful Xiao family, he could only follow the Xiao family with the flag and be in a passive position.

The band in the Fan Mansion kept playing cheerful music. Fan Yunao led Han Xuandao into the Fan Mansion's main hall amidst the music and sat down from the main hall. The Fan clan members also sat down on both sides of the hall. Han Mo came to the door as a prospective son-in-law and stood beside Han Xuandao, but today he was not qualified to sit down.

"Brother Fan is so grand today, that's a shame." Han Xuandao smiled and said, "I can hear the wonderful music of the immortal music here a few miles away, and I am even more grateful to you for waiting here. Xuandao is really ashamed of you!"

A person below immediately smiled and said, "The Fan and Han families are about to become in-laws. We must be respectful when welcoming Lord Han!"

Everyone laughed.

But Han Mo felt that there was nothing funny about this sentence. Looking at the smiles of these people, they all looked inflected from the heart. I really admire these people's sense of humor.

Perhaps these people may not be very happy about this marriage, but they are just happy that the Fan family has found an alliance that can advance and retreat together.

Looking at the entire court and the country, among the six major families, Xiao Su was strong, and the He family followed the Xiao family, Hu family and Han family all had certain forces. Although the Fan family was stronger than the Hu family or even the He family, there was no alliance in the court, so he was in an extremely dangerous situation.

Once the power is weak and fighting alone, it will definitely become the target of those strong families' attacks. Therefore, at this time, the Fan family can quickly form an alliance with the Han family, which has unusual significance for both families.

There was laughter and joy in the main hall, and everything was said was auspicious. Han Mo stood respectfully beside Han Xuandao, with a gentle and gentle head down slightly, cautious. Most people in this hall often lingered on Han Mo. After all, he will be the son-in-law of the Fan family in the future, so he must take a good look.

Needless to say, Han Mo's appearance is masculine. His bronze skin not only does not affect his overall appearance, but also adds strong resilience to his pretty face. Looking at his surface, he is definitely a first-class handsome man, soft and hard, not like the playboy who seems fair but is actually weak inside. Han Mo gives people the feeling that he has a strong temperament that is difficult to describe in a low-key manner.

With laughter and joy, he saw someone coming in from outside the door, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, the old lady and the wife are waiting in the Chrishen Zhai!"

Han Xuandao hurriedly said, "This is my fault." He turned to Han Mo and said, "I'm not going with you yet, go to the back hall to pay homage to the old lady!"

Before arriving at Fan's mansion, Han Mo also received instructions from his family and knew that there was such a link.

On the day of the engagement, I naturally did not mention the marriage of the female clan, and I also had to meet the female clan's relatives alone. These female clans were all married women, such as aunts and sisters. This is a link in the "family recognition ceremony" and the most important link, and that cannot be careless.

Han Mo's heart was beating. If he was asked to meet thousands of troops, he might not be worried or nervous, but if he wanted to meet these old ladies, he only felt that his heart was beating faster and his face was hot.
