35. It turned out to be you
Xiao Hanyu and Lan Mozhi would never have dreamed that such a thing as "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land" would one day fall on their own heads-the Han Jue standing in front of them would actually be the grandson of Granny Hu who raised them.
It's really a coincidence!
Yes, because he grew up in that broken yard when he was a child, Lan Mozhi knew something about Granny Hu's past. It is said that her temperament was not tolerated by her husband's family, and she finally gave birth to her first child six years after marriage, but her husband's family, the Han family, kicked her out of the house on the grounds of disrespecting her in-laws. Her husband took pity on her, but he did not dare to disobey her parents' orders, so he had to stuff her with silver taels in private, and persuaded her to find a good family again. But she is an old woman who was abandoned by her husband's family and gave birth to a child, where can she find any good family?
Disheartened, she left her hometown and wandered the world, eventually settling down in the mountain city of Zan Kingdom, where she made a living by sewing and mending for others, washing and cooking, and doing a small business. During this period, because she missed her own flesh and blood that was separated from her life before she was seven years old, she liked the children very much, and regardless of her own poor life, she adopted three or four abandoned babies and loved them as her own children.
A few years later, Zan was hit by a famine that was not too severe, and many poor families abandoned the young and infirm because they could not afford to raise their children. Granny Hu did her best to pick up a few to raise, and Lan Mozhi was one of them.
Gradually, the dilapidated yard became lively. Later, the little girls picked up by Granny Hu grew up and would help her do some work to earn money, and the boys' strength also grew, and they also contributed their own strength to the food and clothing in the compound. In addition, Granny Hu has a lot of business minds, day after day, year after year, the family is no longer as poor as it was at the beginning, the children can be fed and clothed, and their common "mother" has never been able to change the "problem" of picking up the children back.
During this period, Granny Hu's son brought her grandson to visit her several times. It was also one of those times that Lan Mozhi happened to pass by, and by chance, he met Han Jue, who was about the same age as his own, and remembered his appearance.
In this way, a crucial foundation is laid for identification many years to come.
Xiao Hanyu, who was young at the time and was only adopted later, didn't know about the above, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "That...... Then Brother Han, don't you have a father, a mother and a grandfather, why did you end up at home? β
Han Jue smiled bitterly when he heard this, and he did not shy away from telling her that his family had lost their lives due to the epidemic. Although he was also sad, he had to set a fire, burn the remains of his family clean, and then take the family coil and set out on the journey alone.
"I remember when I was 12 years old, it was also the last time I followed my father to visit my grandmother." Han Jue recalled the past and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that parting would be an eternal separation between heaven and man." β
Yes, in the next few years, not only did Han Jue's parents pass away, but Lan Mozhi and Xiao Hanyu and others also lost their mother-in-law who had taken care of them since childhood.
For a while, the three of them were silent, and seemed to be quietly remembering their deceased ancestors.
It wasn't until Xiao Hanyu suddenly got up that he grabbed the hand that helped Han Jue, and said sternly under his stunned gaze: "Brother Han, since you are Granny Hu's own grandson and my savior, I naturally can't treat you badly!" I have decided, I will go and petition the emperor and ask him to allow you to stay in the palace to eat fragrant food and drink spicy food! β
As soon as these words came out, Han Jue's eyes widened, and he looked at him in a daze, while Lan Mozhi on the side had already relieved himself and held his forehead helplessly.
The princess's personality of "thinking about it is a play" has really not changed at all.
"Ahem, don't worry, I mean, let you stay in the palace as a guard, just be my bodyguard!" Xu was afraid that the other party would misunderstand something, so she hurriedly added an explanation, "You know what? The guards in the palace are treated much better than if you were a catcher in the capital, and you have a better chance of promotion. β
That's right, it's also fragrant and spicy, of course she can't make Han Jue go to be a eunuch - even if it's the chief of the inner house or something, it's absolutely not possible - you know, the Han family is the only one in the Han family, and Granny Hu only has one grandson, she must greet him well, and within the scope of her ability, let him be prosperous and prosperous, and have a bright future!
"If that's the case, that's great. However, can the emperor agree? Looking at the flame that seemed to be burning in the girl's eyes, Han Jue narrowed his peach blossom eyes and said as if worried.
"Yesβdon't worry, it's on me!"
Seeing that Xiao Hanyu was about to pat his chest and reassure, Han Jue suddenly smiled. Lan Mozhi watched from the side as usual, although he couldn't just make a judgment, the grandson of his former benefactor was a person who intended to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but seeing that the other party seemed to be quite happy and calm, he always felt strange in his heart.
That's it, at that time, if Han Jue can't handle this porcelain job, the people who want to come to the top will also take corresponding actions.
Thinking about it like this, when he saw Xiao Hanyu rushing to find Li Wuzhi, Lan Mozhi hesitated, but after all, he stopped talking.
So, the girl's agile figure appeared in the imperial study again.
Xiao Hanyu told Li Wujian about Han Jue's identity and his past, and didn't give him time to breathe after finishing speaking, and directly asked him to allow the man to become her other close guard.
The man who came back to his senses in a trance immediately jumped at the corner of his eyebrows.
"Don't you already have Lan Mozhi as a guard?"
"How can one be enough?"
The girl asked a rhetorical question straightforwardly, which made the man suddenly feel a stomachache.
"And how many do you want?"
"Two."
Seeing Xiao Hanyu solemnly gesture of "two" in front of himself, Li Wujian had to put down the red pen in his hand.
"You are a harem concubine, you stay in the palace with dignity, what do you want so many guards for?"
That Lan Mozhi doesn't know, at least the way is clear, and Emperor Dongzan specially sent him to see his daughter, and as the Emperor of Shu, it is not easy to refuse. But what the hell is this Han Jue? Even if he is the savior of this girl, and the grandson of her "adoptive mother......
Frowning and thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a woman's low sob.
Li Wujian was stunned immediately, and then his heart sank.
Oh no, it's coming.
