“I told you I forgot, do you believe me?”
Seeing Zhong Yanchong’s strange look, Han Mo said with an embarrassed expression.
“You guess if I believe you?”
Zhong Yanchong’s mouth twitched. This excuse was too perfunctory…
“Forget it, it’s already like this, let’s think about what to do.”
Han Mo scratched the back of his head with some annoyance. It was too late to regret it now that things were set in stone.
“Within Neihuang, it is said that Li Mao’er and his men have gathered over ten thousand people. If you go there at this time, I’m afraid…”
Their relationship was exceptionally close, so they spoke without much reservation.
“It’s not that bad… over ten thousand people?”
Han Mo was really starting to get a headache. This world seemed to be in a bit of a mess. If it were only a thousand or eight hundred people, he could still think of a way.
If there were really over ten thousand people, how much could he achieve even if he was made of iron?
“Although there might be some exaggeration, there should still be three to five thousand. Why don’t you let your father-in-law talk to the Emperor?”
Seeing his annoyed look, Zhong Yanchong said softly.
“At this time, even if the King of Heaven himself came to speak, it would be too late…”
Han Mo now seemed to understand what the Emperor meant by asking if he dared to go. So that was it…
However, on second thought, Han Mo felt relieved again. The Emperor actually valued him quite a bit, and he wouldn’t just watch him go to his death.
If we were to divide it according to the current administrative divisions, Neihuang would belong to Hebei East Circuit, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Prefecture of Daming.
As long as Xu Churen could secure the position of Grand Prefect of Daming, he would also have a strong backing.
“If that’s the case, then Brother Han, you must be very careful!”
“Don’t worry, when the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road!”
Han Mo forced a smile, but he didn’t elaborate to Zhong Yanchong.
After all, the position of Grand Prefect of Daming had not yet been decided. He didn’t want to publicize his contributions in this matter.
Cai Jing and Prince Yun were put in a difficult position this time. If they realized what was happening, his small frame wouldn’t be able to withstand their torment.
Seeing Han Mo lost in thought, Zhong Yanchong didn’t press further.
Regardless, today was meant for the young talents. Although the newly appointed Jinshi were overshadowed by Han Mo,
They still gathered in small groups.
Especially after the Emperor left, they became even more unrestrained.
Song people loved wine, especially these officials. The wine served at today’s banquet was of the highest quality.
Although the alcohol content was still only around thirty degrees, the filtered wine was much better than the ones outside.
Han Mo and his two companions, as the top three in the imperial examinations, naturally became the center of attention.
When the important figures had drunk enough and were mostly conversing in low voices, Han Mo and the others were surrounded by the newly appointed Jinshi.
Although they were still young, everyone understood that these classmates were the first political resources they needed to win over.
Han Mo, as the top scholar, even with his good alcohol tolerance, could only hold on for less than half an hour before being carried out.
“Where am I?”
When Han Mo opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
“Where else could you be? Of course, you are at home!”
Chun Tao glared at him impatiently.
He had almost gotten drunk to death last time, and now this again. This made the little girl quite critical of Han Mo.
“Stop pouting. You can hang a bottle of oil on your face! Go and pour me a cup of tea first. My head is killing me!”
Han Mo struggled for a long time before he could barely sit up.
His throat felt like it was on fire. Although he knew that those scoundrels were doing it on purpose, in that kind of occasion yesterday, if he didn’t drink, he wouldn’t be able to get anywhere in his official career.
“You know it’s uncomfortable, yet you still drank so much! Just now, the master sent someone with a message saying that he’s busy with official duties and probably won’t have time to help you with the wedding preparations…”
Although in Han Mo’s opinion, this was not a big deal.
But he also understood that the little girl was speaking up for him.
“It’s fine, it’s not a big deal. It’s better if he doesn’t come, then I can be more relaxed!”
Han Mo said, stretching his back with a long yawn.
“But if he doesn’t come, will this young lady think that the Han family is neglecting her…”
Chun Tao poured a bowl of hangover soup for Han Mo and said softly.
“Her? She’s focused on making money right now, how could she have time to worry about this?”
After taking a big gulp of the warm hangover soup, Han Mo let out a long sigh of relief.
Drinking harms the body!
It seemed that he really had to pay attention to this in the future, otherwise, his health would probably be ruined in no time.
“That’s what you say, but…”
“It’s alright, it’s nothing. If he doesn’t come, he doesn’t come. Perhaps the princes in Bianliang will all come. It’s neither here nor there whether he’s here or not!”
Seeing the little girl’s lingering dissatisfaction, Han Mo smiled and playfully twisted her smooth nose.
Even in the original owner’s memory, there were very few memories of his father.
Not to mention how Han Mo felt about his cheap father now. He felt more at ease with his father not coming.
Anyway, if he wanted to make his wedding grand, the Emperor might not be able to come, but he could invite at least half of the court officials.
“By the way, someone delivered a document early this morning, saying that you should handle it as soon as you wake up.”
Hearing Han Mo say this, the little girl’s mood improved, and she quickly took a sealed box from the table next to her.
“What is it?”
Han Mo rubbed his temples and stood up, tearing open the seal. He then discovered that it was a document of origin.
“What is this?”
The little girl asked curiously.
“Look at my memory, right. You have people tidy up the things in this courtyard these two days. We probably won’t be living here for long. After the wedding, we should move out!”
“Move out? Are we buying a house?”
The little girl suddenly became excited. After all, they were still living under someone else’s roof here. Even though the servants treated her with respect, in the end, this was still the Han family’s place.
