Hexi

Chapter 131

In the afternoon of the third day after signing the contract with Su Wei, Han Mo received a reply from the guards who went to Wuertun to find the head of the village.And it just so happened that at this time he welcomed Song Ming again.

"I have already reported to my father. My father respects Su Shaoqing as a person, and also admires the son's love and righteousness. He has agreed to send my second uncle to the Su family to teach. I wonder if the son thinks that my second uncle can afford this job?"

Han Morao was prepared in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel awkward when he heard this...

Song Huaiyun, Song Min’s second uncle, was one of the Seven Scholars of the Song family. He entered the Imperial Academy as soon as he became an official, and later served as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. He didn’t like officialdom. He wrote a lot of books, and at the age of 40, he was fascinated by gold and stone again, and he took care of flowers, birds, insects and fish. After more than ten years, his seal carving skills are now well-known throughout the dynasty, and he is a well-known scholar in the dynasty.

Let such a person teach Su Qi - it's not that Han Mo looks down on Su Qi, that kid is indeed smart, and his character is considered good, but his foundation is too weak. Let Song Huaiyun teach him, somewhat inferior!It's not up to Han Mo to pick and choose, right?Not to mention the Su family!Su Shou would never have dreamed that Su Qi could find such a good teacher, would he?
He immediately cleared his throat and said, "Is this what Uncle Song meant?"

Song Ming bent his lips: "It's also what my second uncle meant."

okay!

Han Mo felt relieved and had a plan.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Since your Song family is so sincere, let me go to the palace and give you a confirmation letter tomorrow."

Song Ming nodded: "Then it's settled."

After sending Song Min away, Han Mo stood under the eaves for a while, then rode into the palace.

Regarding the matter agreed with Song Min, when he went back that night, he communicated with Lord Zhen Guo. Although Lord Zhen was a little surprised that he wanted to return such a favor to the Su family, he did not object to his approach, and he did it for him. Assessed, although the emperor has never paid attention to the fame and status dispute between the Wang family and the Song family, but with the emperor's attitude of appointing people on merit, there is no reason to let the Song family's talents go unused.

Han Mo originally wanted to see who the wife the Song family had recommended to him was. The Song family had never had much desire for power, so maybe the conflict with the Wang family was just a moment of anger.

He didn't expect the Song family to recommend Song Huaiyun, but Song Huaiyun is a real Jinshi!He is a Hanlin bachelor who has lectured to the emperor and princes!

With such a great background and such profound knowledge, it is not sincere to introduce such a person as a condition for exchanging with him. It is simply pushing Han Mo to the forefront!
His Song family is already so sincere, so he promised to let Song Min's uncle go to the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion to assist Zhen Guogong, can he not do it with all his might?

Chang Chun, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, was coming out of the palace with a pair of jade cups in his hands. When he saw Han Mo facing him, he quickened his pace and walked up: "The old man is dazzled, and he looks familiar from a distance. I guess it's the prince who came. It really is! ——The son has not entered the palace for some days, what kind of wind brought you here today?"

Chang Chun is a member of the prince. Although he was affectionate to Han Mo, Han Mo dared not take him seriously. He cupped his hands and said, "Shuntian Mansion is busy, so I didn't come to greet His Highness. How is Your Highness?"

"His Royal Highness is busy too! The prince wait a moment, wait for the old man to report!"

Changchun turned around and went inside.Then the prince's voice came out: "Let him in! I haven't summoned the yamen to arrest the head yet. Send him to me to have a look."

Han Mo was very speechless, and when Chang Chun waved his hand at the door, he walked in with his head hooked.

The prince was still sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding a pen in one hand and a scroll in the other, while tea was still boiling on the small stove next to him.

As soon as Han Mo saluted, he raised his head, looked around for a while with a half-smile, then pointed to the opposite side of the kang table: "Sit down." Then he said: "I heard that you are a god in solving crimes in Shuntian Mansion, and you have solved several murder cases in a row. Now the capital has a new evaluation of you."

Han Mo said, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Lin Yi."

Han Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and retracted his approaching body: "He."

"Why, are you dissatisfied with your boss?"

"Of course not." A fool would admit it in front of him.

The prince looked over again: "I think it's good for you to be a small head catcher. You are busy every day, and your mother doesn't have to worry about you going out to cause trouble."

"Your Highness!" Han Mo couldn't agree with these words, "The co-author is busy finding dogs for the old lady and helping the daughter-in-law catch the adulterous mother-in-law. You haven't heard of all of this? Xiangchen learned the method of investigation in Donglinwei back then. The means of the case, now that all of them have been done, don’t you feel inferior?”

The prince rolled his eyes: "What's the use of howling with me? Doesn't the emperor have something for you? Only after finishing it can we return to Donglinwei."

Han Mo watched him approve a few papers, and said, "Your Highness, there is something I would like to ask you to open."

"Just say something."

Han Mo then explained the reason for his visit: "To tell you the truth, I have received a big favor from the Song family. This matter is related to whether I can return to Donglinwei as soon as possible. It just so happened that I heard that my father needs to increase his salary in the Chinese military governor's mansion." As a civil servant, I just thought, can you speak a few words of kindness in front of the emperor for me, and ask for this lacking son to be my minister?"

The prince looked at him sideways: "Are you blatantly urging me to help you go through the back door?"

"Of course not! The main thing is that it's a waste to not use some talents. This is a good thing for the country and me."

The prince stretched his body: "Since he is an important person of the Duke of Zhenguo, why didn't he go to ask the emperor? Instead, you came to ask me?"

"My father has already reported to the emperor, and now I need His Highness to play the side drums and make clear." Han Mo said and moved over here, "After my father went to the Chinese capital, he has been alone. As a result, there has been no movement for several months, and he really needs a useful person by his side."

The prince glanced at him, put down his pen after a long time and said, "It seems that you are determined to win."

Han Mo smiled and did not deny it.

"It's not impossible," the prince closed the folder, "However, don't get too involved in the status dispute between the Wang family and the Song family."

Han Mo paused, knowing that he had seen through it.He asked, "Why?"

The prince squinted: "If the Wang family and the Song family don't have such a fight, can the Song family think about pushing people out to serve the court?"

"..."

Of course, Han Mo couldn't be persuaded by the prince's statement.Just to force the Song family to come out and become an official and specifically ask him not to intervene?Isn't it their freedom for the Song family to be an official or not?without impeding the functioning of the country.Besides, how can there be any reason to force someone to come out of the mountain to become an official?All in all, this is not the prince's usual rigorous style.

However, Han Mo's purpose for this trip has been achieved, so he shut up wisely and obeyed the arrangement. From then on, if there were any disputes between the Wang and Song families, he would never intervene again.
