Chapter 635 Gift Pearl
That night, the uncle of the country came to the royal villa in person and presented the remaining nine night pearls. General Han was convinced and asked someone to lift Qin Si, who was dying and dying, and handed it to the uncle.
The uncle of the country naturally did not want Yun Canglan to know immediately that Qin Si had been taken away by him, and the roads around the Royal Villa were guarded by soldiers from the guard camp, so he had to put Qin Si in his carriage and ride in the same carriage with him. Although the people in the guard camp were strictly investigated, they still dared not search for the uncle's carriage.
After getting ten night pearls, Han Mo naturally gave them to Changdehou himself.
Cao Yin had believed that the useless Qin Si could get some benefits before, but he really didn't expect that he could get ten night pearls.
The value of ten night pearls is really unusual.
If it is thrown on the market, each night pearl can be sold at a price of ten thousand taels of silver. Ten night pearls can be exchanged for more than ten thousand taels of silver.
According to the military pay of the Yan State border army, the annual military pay of a northwest border army is about forty taels of silver and ten night pearls. It can provide the military pay for three thousand soldiers a year, and it is definitely not a small amount.
Han Mo was ruthless in blackmail, and his uncle finally endured the pain of being slaughtered, but on the other hand, it also proved that the Guardians were indeed very important to the Hou Party, and the financial resources of the Qinghou clan were indeed extremely strong.
Han Mo knew the wealth of the Later Party in his heart. He had a strong business network like Guan's Trade Bank, and the Later Party's economic foundation was extremely strong. This time, he opened ten night pearls, and Han Mo even felt that he was too soft-hearted. If he had known that his uncle was so happy, it would be better to open it up to twenty.
However, Cao Yin was very satisfied, but he also praised Han Mo's blackmail ability.
Naturally, this night pearl was to be taken back to the country and handed over to the Ministry of Revenue and registered, but Cao Yin took out one of them and gave it to Han Mo, which was to reward Han Mo's credit.
Han Mo refused and said, "All this is done by the Marquis. If the Marquis doesn't take in one to enjoy, Han Mo will never dare to accept it!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and after talking, they finally calmly. Each of them took two night pearls and left them to "appreciate" themselves. The remaining six were sealed and handed over to the Ministry of Revenue after returning to the country.
After leaving the yard where Cao Yin lived, Han Mo thought about it and finally went to the place where the princess lived.
When he arrived in the yard, the guards guarding outside the yard saluted respectfully. Han Mo entered the yard and said he wanted to see the princess. Then a palace maid went in to report and soon came out to invite Han Mo in.
Han Mo entered the house and turned to the elegant room next to him. He saw Zi'er standing by the window, her petite and delicate figure was just like Shuang'er, but her temperament was obviously much calmer than Shuang'er.
Han Mo saw it and even thought to himself: "Isn't this Zi'er the emperor's illegitimate daughter outside? It's really rare for people who are so similar in the world."
He stepped forward two steps and bowed, "Sir, please see the princess!"
Zi'er turned around, smiled sweetly, and said, "General Han, you are here!"
Han Mo said: "It's so late, has the princess not slept yet? The princess takes care of her health..."
"Thank you for General Han's concern." Zi'er smiled slightly, and her delicate body was slanted. Han Mo saw her smile and found that compared to Shuang'er's pure smile, Zi'er's smile actually had a three-point charm.
A cute and beautiful face looks extremely innocent. If the smile is charming, there will be a huge contrast there, which will add endless beauty and temptation.
With that smile, Han Mo actually felt that his heart was jumping.
"Is there anything wrong with General Han coming so late?" Zi'er walked to Han Mo, looked at Han Mo and asked softly.
Standing in front of Han Mo, she actually gave Han Mo an illusion that there was Shuang'er in front of her, but Han Mo had excellent psychological quality and said: "Go back to the princess, today's celebration of the National Court has set the wedding date, which is scheduled on August 25th, which is ten days later. The Qing Kingdom has issued an edict to inform the world!"
Zi'er nodded slightly and said softly: "Is it ten days?"
Han Mo said "um", but clearly saw a very strange expression flashing across Zi'er's face. There seemed to be a certain excitement in her watery eyes.
But that expression just flashed in the blink of an eye. In an instant, Zi'er still looked sweet and cute, with a delicate voice: "Thank you for a while, General Han!"
Han Mo did not speak, but looked around and confirmed that there was no one else. Then he approached slightly and asked in a low voice: "Zi'er, do you... really want to enter the palace?"
Zi'er raised her head and stared at Han Mo, her face was very calm. After a moment, she smiled and asked softly: "Why did General Han ask like this?"
Han Mo looked at Zi'er's beautiful face, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The inner garden of the palace is always the most dangerous place. After you enter the palace, you must be careful of everything. The enemies you face... are not many, and they are strong enough!"
Zi'er nodded and said, "Don't worry, General, I know how to protect myself."
Han Mo nodded slightly. If Shi Shuang'er was in front of him, Han Mo was really worried. After all, Shuang'er was innocent and smart. Although she was smart, she did not have much scheming. The intrigues in the inner garden of the deep palace easily swallowed Shuang'er.
But Zi'er in front of her seemed as cute and innocent as Shuang'er, but Han Mo could feel that Zi'er was a girl who was adapting to the intrigue environment. She had enough calmness and wisdom to face the upcoming challenges.
After pondering for a while, Han Mo finally took out a night pearl from his body, put it in his palm, and handed it to Zi'er, "Please take it, maybe it can be used in the future!"
Zi'er was obviously a little surprised, raised her head and looked at Han Mo.
"After entering the palace, you always need some other people to help you, except those from Yan State." Han Mo thought, "Most people always like silver. Hold it and use it when you need it in the future!"
Zi'er's eyes showed gratitude and a gift was filled with a gift.
Han Mo didn't say much, and handed Ye Mingzhu to Zi'er, then said, "Princess, it's too late. Please rest soon. Please leave first!" He bowed and turned around and was about to leave.
"General Han!" But he heard Zi'er screaming from behind.
Han Mo stopped, but did not look back, just asked, "What else does the princess have to give?"
Zi'er was silent for a while before whispering: "General Han, you... are a good person!"
Han Mo was stunned and then smiled. He didn't expect to get such an evaluation. In the eyes of some people, he might be a big evil person.
...
Han Mo returned to his yard and before he could enter, he heard footsteps behind him, but Xiao Mu led a servant in a green shirt and hat to come over and frowned.
"General, this person claimed to have been sent by Tang Shuhu to post!" Xiao Mu bowed and said, "I want to meet the lord, so I will bring him here!"
The servant stepped forward and bowed and said, "I've seen General Han!"
"Young Master Tang sent you here, what's the matter?" Han Mo asked.
The servant took out an invitation from his arms and handed it over, "My husband sent a young man to send an invitation to the general. Please be sure to enjoy it when you are here!"
Han Mo stretched out his right hand wearing a different metal glove, clamped the invitation with two fingers, opened it with one hand and saw a line of handwriting on it: "Brother Han presented it to you: A good night in the future, on the Peacock Lake, say goodbye to you, and be sure to enjoy the wine." The signature is "Tang Shuhu".
The handwriting is flying and the essence of the pen is a good handwriting.
"Give me a goodbye to you?" Han Mo murmured, then looked at the servant and asked, "Is your Mr. Tang going to go far?"
The servant hurriedly said, "Reply to the general's words, the husband went out a few days ago. After returning to Yeheju, he stayed in the door and did not eat or drink for the whole day and night. We were all worried."
Han Mo nodded slightly, but he understood in his heart that he had always been visiting the Royal Villa that day.
"A day later, the gentleman finally left the inner room and announced to us that he was about to leave Shangjing in the near future and travel alone to the world!" The servant's face was full of confusion, as if he could not understand why Tang Shuhu left his freedom and glory and did not enjoy it, but he wanted to travel to the world alone. "Before leaving, the gentleman would hold a banquet at Peacock Lake and say goodbye to his friends. The gentleman sent a villain to post to the gentleman and repeatedly instructed that no matter what, General Han would also want to enjoy the glory, otherwise the gentleman would wait by the lake. The general would wait for an hour, and he would wait for an hour, and within a day, he would wait for a day!"
Han Mo frowned, it was really a bit difficult for this matter.
Tang Shuhu was very interested in power and power, so it was not good if he didn't go. However, as the commander of the Yan State mission, he left his guard post as a guard to go to Peacock Lake for a banquet. This seemed inappropriate.
"You go back first, I already know this!" Han Mo nodded.
The servant asked hurriedly, "What does the general mean?"
"I will go naturally," Han Mo said ambiguously: "Look at whether you can take time when you see it!"
The servant was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Mu had already said, "The general has spoken, but he won't retreat yet!"
The servant didn't dare to say much, and followed Xiao Mu backed down.
The next day, Han Mo told Cao Yin about this, but Cao Yin smiled and said, "Tang Shuhu is the number one talented man in Daqing and is very influential among literati. If he can make friends with him, it would not be a bad thing. Qing Guo's literary power is prevalent and the literati has a very high status. If those literati students can have a good impression of me, Dayan, it will be of great benefit to the relationship between the two countries." He smiled softly to Han Mo and said, "Han Mo, do you know that your name is not small in the capital now. The song "When will the bright moon come?" is now sung everywhere, which greatly increases my Dayan's face!"
Han Mo smiled awkwardly.
...
The wedding date between Prince Qing and Princess Yan has been announced to the world. The whole country of Qing is still full of enthusiasm for this marriage. Although not everyone understands politics, intuitively speaking, the Wei people are now attacking Qing, and through this marriage, it is naturally a great thing that Qing Kingdom has an ally instead of an extra enemy in this war.
Qingguo did a good job in terms of face. From the date of the imperial edict, the entire Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple began to be busy, and even issued an order that from three days before the wedding, red silk would be hung on the doors of every household to add to the festive atmosphere.
The people of Qing were busy, but the Yan State mission was very quiet. After all, what should be prepared was ready and there was no need for much preparation. However, as the representative of the etiquette of Yan State, Song Shiqing wanted to communicate with the Qing State and discuss various procedures and etiquettes during the wedding, which was also to strive to make Princess Yan’s marriage go grandly and smoothly.
Han Mo has not had any major problems these two days. He occasionally patrolled the surroundings and spent more time practicing the eight stick techniques.
When Tang Shuhu made an appointment, since he had Cao Yin's consent, Han Mo was ready to go to Peacock Lake and changed into light clothes, like an ordinary student.
At dusk, Tang Shuhu even sent a carriage to pick it up, while Han Mo led six casual imperial soldiers to Peacock Lake. As for the officials from the West Flower Hall, they secretly protected them.
When you are in Qingguo, you have to be careful everywhere.
