Han Xuan trembled and took his younger brother out of the car.

There was a horse-drawn carriage next to the car. It was this car that squeezed Han Hyun's carriage to the side of the road and had to stop.

This is the spare carriage at home. Different from the luxury cars that the owners and mothers of the family ride in public, in order not to attract attention, they are made very plainly, and they are ordinary styles that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Even the two horses in front of them are Linhuang horses from the northland grassland, resistant to rough feeding, disease-resistant, but short, not to mention the big food horses, Hexi horses are not comparable, only stronger than the Zhouyu horses raised on the southeast island, and they can't support the façade at all.

Even in the rental carriages that pick up customers all over the city, there are few people who use this Linhuang horse, so they use two slightly taller horses with Hexi horse blood, so that they are somewhat decent and easy to attract guests.

But there was clearly a secret mark on the car, or something special. Outsiders can't see it, but insiders can see it at a glance - Han Xuan's coachman is shrinking his head at this time, and he doesn't dare to say anything about the behavior of the carriage next to him pinning himself to the side of the road, under normal circumstances, a fight is possible.

However, Han Hyun didn't care about the driver and the secret memory at all, he and Han Jin's second brother were looking through the car window, revealing half of their faces.

Half an angry face.

"Get in the car!"

Han Xuan honestly carried his little brother into his car, and his own coachman had already thrown away a few big coins and sent the coachman here.

Under Han Zhong's compelling gaze, Han Xuan and Han Jin sat down in their seats in a proper manner.

Han Zhongzao straightened his face and glared at this younger brother who was out of character, "Fourth brother, you are really capable, if you don't tell your family, you will take the seventh brother to the tile." After two years, will you be able to play in the kiln? ”

Han Xuan hung his head and didn't dare to reply.

"You just come out to play, what are you doing with Seventh Brother? You can't lose someone as big as you, what about Brother Seven? The thirteenth uncle of the Wang family can still get it back after losing it, it depends on luck, can the seventh brother still have such luck? ”

Han Xuan stiffened his neck and was unconvinced: "I just took a stroll, and nothing happened." ”

"yes, I was almost falsely accused and said that nothing happened, anyway, it didn't make a big fuss, so I can hide it from the house?" Han Zhong was not angry, his nasal voice rose, and he asked angrily, "Huh? ”

Originally, he wanted to get away with it, but Han Zhong knew everything, Han Xuan suddenly softened again, and he didn't dare to speak with a bitter face.

Han Xuan softened, but Han Xuan was still angry, and snorted, "If someone hadn't followed, the family wouldn't know when they would have known about today's events!" ”

"Someone following?"

Han Jin's little head swung left and right, looked at the window on the left, then at the window on the right, and then turned around and came back, "Second brother, where is it?" ”

For this innocent and intelligent little brother, Han Xuan couldn't get angry, and smiled slightly, "In the place where you can't see the seventh brother." ”

Sure enough, someone was secretly protecting.

What just happened reached the ears of his brother, and Han Xuan already had a guess, but he didn't expect it to be confirmed in a blink of an eye.

It's really well hidden at home.

Han Hyun couldn't help but think. He had never seen or heard of the men sent to him.

It's just that the things hidden in the family seem to be known only to the parents and the second brother, and as for the eldest brother who returned to his hometown after marriage, Han Xuan is not sure that he is clear or not.

Looking back at Han Xuan, Han Zhong's tone finally eased a lot, "Fourth, what should I say about you." The third child is a nerd, sitting on a chair in the morning and still looking like in the evening, without moving the nest. He let his father and mother his heart, but he didn't worry about it, for fear that he would cause some trouble. What about you? Now there are so many things in the court, and there are a lot of things at home, you still have to worry about your parents, do you think you should? ”

Han Xuan hung his head: "Brother, I know it's wrong." ”

Han Zhong snorted, "How old are you, and you still pretend to be pitiful?" ”

Seeing that Han Zhong's anger was over, Han Xuan hurriedly flattered, "Brother, I was wrong about today, but I also know that I was wrong, and I will definitely not do it again next time, can my brother give me a chance to repent?" ”

Han Xuan rolled his eyes, "If you become a daddy, will no one report it to him?" ”

"Where's my mother?" Han Hyun asked nervously.

The Han family is a strict mother and loving father, and Han Gang is less at home, so he is more indulgent to his children, and if he breaks the entire set of imperial porcelain from the official kiln, he will make a haha, saying that this is nothing. Accidentally started a fire, and after two sentences of admonition, I pulled together to discuss how to prepare to extinguish the fire in advance if I played again next time.

In my spare time, I also took the children to play, fishing, horseback riding, archery, and disassembling fire. guns, and even dismantled a steam engine a few days ago - a few days ago, a water tower was built in the Han Mansion to provide clean deep well water to the whole family, and two steam engines that pumped water from the deep well were transported, one was installed, and the other was dismantled and put together by Han Gang with the children at home.

And Wang Yi is in charge of the family law, from childhood to adulthood, she will be punished for making mistakes. With a straight face, several children were afraid of her.

"If you go out alone, Daddy will help you hide it from your mother, but today there is an extra seventh brother, do you think Daddy will help you hide it?"

Facing Han Zhong's rhetorical question, Han Xuan swallowed dryly. The heart is over now, and when I go home, I will inevitably be beaten and locked up for several months.

Han Jin was carefree, looking at the car window all the time, and suddenly turned around at this time, "Second brother, are we going home now?" ”

"No, it's going to my grandfather's house." Han Zhong glanced at Han Xuan, "Otherwise, where would it come so quickly." ”

Hearing that he was going to Wang Anshi's mansion, Han Xuan's face became indifferent.

Han Zhong's grandfather is not Han Hyun Han Jin's grandfather, he didn't care about it when he was a child, and the older he gets, the clearer this is.

The family is trying to have a bowl of water as much as possible, and Han Xuan and his sons together are not as good as the only sister who is loved by their parents, and the division between brothers is not so clear.

But outside, the treatment between the concubines is completely different. Han Xuan also knows that when he has fame, such differential treatment will gradually be eliminated.

Han Xuan didn't want to go to Wang Anshi's mansion to see the faces of those people, "Brother, why don't I go home with Seventh Brother first." Reflect first, wait for Daddy to come back, and admit your mistakes. ”

"Daddy is in Grandpa's Mansion, you just come with me."

Han Jin opened his eyes wide and asked, "Did my mother let my brother go to my grandfather's house?" ”

Even Han Jin understood that it must be his mother-in-law who was afraid that the pair would quarrel again, so she hurriedly sent the second brother over.

"What about the fifth brother? Didn't he come along? Han Xuan asked, there is one more sister-in-law of the Han family.

"I'm punished at home, and I can't go out for half a month."

All right.

Han Hyun resigned himself to his fate, leaned back in his chair, and was completely speechless.

It didn't take long for the three brothers to arrive at the palace.

Wang Anshi's grandson, Wang Yan's orphan, and Wang Tan, the eldest son next to Wang, came out to greet the three cousins.

Han Zhong took the lead, and Han Hyun and Han Jin saluted successively: "Han Hyun (Han Jin), I have seen my cousin." ”

But Han Zhong's two cousins, one is tall and the other is arrogant, they didn't take the two concubines of the Han family to heart, and only saluted back according to the etiquette, and then greeted Han Zhong inside, Han Xuan and Han Jin followed behind.

However, Wang Chang glanced at Han Xuan coldly before turning around, and Han Xuan also responded with cold eyes.

Among the Wang family, Wang Anshi and his wife are okay, they treat the sons of the Han family as one, the younger they are, the more they love, and Wang Hou and his wife are also like an elder, but their peers are annoying. is not only Wang Chang and Wang Tan, but also Wang Anshi's nephews.

Before Wang Anshi had a stroke, the children of the Han family were taken south by Wang Yi and lived in Jinling Wangfu for many days. At that time, there were still many children of the Wang family who came to visit, and the children of the Han family had dealt with them. Among these people, many of them attach great importance to their concubines, or in other words, those concubines attach great importance to their own identity as concubines, and they are proud of their concubines.

Han Xuan also understands that these people really have nothing else to show off, only the identity of the sister-in-law makes them feel special that they can show their identity.

The importance of grandeur is usually only at a young age. When you are older, you only look at your own fame and official position, and how can you compare with a concubine who was born as a jinshi?

Even when you want to discuss marriage, you won't care too much. Political marriage, it only depends on the identity of the parents of both parties, if you want to find a good home for your daughter, you have to look at the character and talent of the other party, and it has nothing to do with the concubine.

Knowing this qiē does not mean that Han Xuan is willing to endure until the day when he has fame. Therefore, his relationship with the sons and daughters-in-law of the Wang family is not very good.

However, Han Xuan has a bad relationship with Wang Chang, and it is not just a matter of concubines, but also related to the emperor.

Han Xuan was only in Jinling, just because the queen mother should return to power, so he fought with Wang Chang several times. Now that the emperor has become the son-in-law of the Wang family, but he is under house arrest in the palace, as long as they meet, Wang Chang will inevitably quarrel with Han Xuan about this matter.

Wang Anshi was talking to Han Gang, Wang Hou was accompanying him, after the Han Zhong brothers were named, they were not called in for a while, and within two minutes of sitting in the outer hall and talking, Han Xuan fought with Wang Chang again.

Wang Tan's hesitation was overflowing, and Han Jin seemed to understand, looking at Han Xuan and Wang Chang blankly, only Han Zhong was bored, drinking tea, while listening leisurely to the dispute between the two back and forth.

“…… I'll talk about it when you meet the Son of Heaven......"

"The younger brother has never seen the emperor, so he doesn't dare to say anything. I think my cousin has seen it. ”

"I've only seen it once. The emperor is a wise young man, but also humble and generous, and he is by no means a faint king falsely accused by rumors. ”

"I have only seen it once, and I can see what this person is like than the queen mother who gets along day and night, and the prime minister who has taught her since childhood? When does my cousin come out with a moon review? ”

"What is the fault of the Son of Heaven, that even those who are courtiers should be persuaded bitterly, how can they do disobedience?"

"There are five kinds of punishments, and the cane is to death, and what kind of crime should be punished with what kind of punishment. If it had been the emperor's fault, it would have been an admonition, and it would not have fallen into such a situation. It must be known that the king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a grudge, and he can't complain about anyone. ”

"Grass mustard revenge, this is the words of no king and no father!"

"How can you be compared to your father? The son inherits the blood of the father, and if there is no father, there is no son, so the father blames the son, and the son must not complain. What is the merit of a man and a minister, which can be compared with a father and son? ”

"Born by the father, eaten by the king. Monarch father, monarch father, monarch father has been called since ancient times. ”

"Born by the father, taught by the teacher, and eaten by the king? Scold...... This is a fake. Erfeng Erlu, the people's fat and people's ointment, this is Taizu's own handwriting. Those who grow grain are also the people. Those who pay for food are also the people. Those who eat the world are also the people. As the saying goes, the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. ”

"Uncle can't be used by the first emperor, how can there be today's Xuanhe?!"

"Cousin, don't you understand this very well. If you use it, you will repay it wholeheartedly, and if you don't use it, it will be like a stranger. If the emperor despises him for no reason, he is an enemy. The first emperor treated his family strictly, and his family was strict with his countrymen. And the emperor didn't think about Jia Yan Qingtian's work, he didn't even read about the support for more than ten years, Jia Yan just asked him to go back to reflect, and he was already thinking about the old virtues of the first emperor. What's more, the Queen Mother also agrees with this matter, and it is justified to blame the son with the mother. ”

"I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will be confused."

"Is this my cousin's idea, or is it my grandfather and uncle's?"

"Fourth brother!" Han Zhong suddenly spoke.

It's like brothers, it's normal to have contradictory positions, and it doesn't matter if you quarrel, anyway, you're still an idler who hasn't entered the court, and it doesn't matter how you quarrel at home. But it's not right to pull out the parents, there are some things that can't be said.

Han Zhong, who was so idle that he was about to yawn, also had to say something to remind.

Han Xuan also knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly put aside the question, "My cousin should know that before Tang Taizong's big trip, he reprimanded Li Ji and belittled Suiliang, not Li and Chu were guilty, but Taizong wanted to make Gaozong have favor to the two ministers." ”

In fact, on the other hand, Chu Suiliang and Li Ji [that is, Xu Shiji, given the surname Li, to avoid Taizong's secrets, hence the name Li Ji] fell together, and they could also assist Gaozong with peace of mind. Because they know that after receiving the favor of the new emperor, they are his own people, and they don't have to worry about their own safety, and they can also display their talents to the fullest.

It's like a ritual where the participants and onlookers alike know it's pointless and completely self-defeating, but they can't help but do it.

"Someone once built a Tang Taizong to deceive anger to test the heart of the courtiers, but Tang Taizong said that if he wants to make the courtiers offer them with their hearts, he has to treat each other with deception, isn't it the opposite of the opposite? But such a wise and wise emperor still has to use a trick before he dies. Why is that? ”

Wang Chang's tongue is inferior to Han Xuan, and it is not easy to defend the Son of Heaven without wantonly attacking the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister, so he always loses to Han Xuan. In the end, Wang Chang could only stare at each other with Han Xuan, and they were about to become black-eyed chickens.

Wang Tan was a little anxious, and Han Zhong was drinking tea peacefully, and his brothers didn't suffer a loss, and they didn't fight, so what's the big deal.

It's just that he can't be calm immediately.

The figure flashed in front of him, and a pretty figure appeared at the door.

When Han Zhong saw it, he hurriedly stood up, "I've seen the third sister." ”

Yiren's face was like frost, and he just returned the salute and immediately asked, "Where is Grandpa?" ”

Wang Yueniang has always been gentle and elegant, and her temperament is as warm as the southern water town in spring, but this time, it seems that winter is coming.

Before Han Zhong could react, an old woman also followed, and asked Wang Yueniang with a gloomy face, "The little lady's homework hasn't been done yet, where is this going?" In a blink of an eye, he saw Han Zhong and the three of them again, and his face became even more ugly, "Why is the foreign man here, don't retreat quickly!" ”

Han Xuan was not happy when he heard it, "Yue Yu Dai, you have to speak?!" ”

The old woman glared, "The old man is a person from the heavenly family, and he is ordered to come here to teach the little lady Wang, so as not to know the etiquette after entering the palace and lose the dignity of the heavenly family!" ”

It turned out to be an old lady sent from the palace. Han Xuan immediately looked at Wang Chang and Wang Tan, even if they came from the palace, they were too arrogant, to be honest, the emperor didn't dare.

Wang Chang and Wang Tan did not come out to support their sister. Wang Chang was still unhappy, and said to Wang Yueniang, "Sanniang, go back to the backyard first." Feel free to come and go with foreign aid, what kind of system are you?! ”

Han Xuan was angry and suspicious. In front of the prime minister's son, pointing fingers at the future country's abbot's house, is this here to stir up trouble?

He turned his head to look at Han Zhong, hoping that his second brother would have an explanation.

Han Zhong didn't see joy or anger on his face, and called Han Jin, "Seventh brother, accompany your third sister to see your grandfather." ”

Han Jin immediately ran over obediently, took Wang Yueniang's hand, and pulled it hard to leave, "Third sister, let's go." ”

"Don't go!"

The old lady screamed, but Han Xuan had already skipped over and stopped her, "This is not the place for you to go wild!" ”

Wang Chang frowned, "This is my Wang family matter!" ”

Han Xuan sneered and turned around, "When the concubine enters the palace, she still expects the brothers in the family to help one or two, the two cousins are good, and the third cousin is not married yet, but she helps outsiders." ”

Wang Chang's face darkened, and when the old lady saw Han Jin pulling Wang Yueniang out of the back door, she was immediately anxious, and pushed Han Xuan, "The old man is ordered by the Queen Mother and the Concubine, who dares to stop it!" ”

Which old body?

All the officials present were high-grade officials, that is, the seventh brother Han Jin who had just left, and the Taichang Temple Taizhu of the ninth grade. A female official in the palace dares to sell her old in front of officials?

Han Zhong slowly sat down and glanced at the old woman, "Chen Baozhu, right?" ”

The old woman's body was shocked, and her face suddenly became ugly.

A woman's boudoir name is never passed on to outsiders, and after she gets married, she will bear her husband's surname, and she will not mention her boudoir name to the outside world. Even if she is an old woman in her fifties or sixties, this boudoir name cannot be called casually.

What's more, how did the son of the prime minister's family know?

The prime minister may know, but the prime minister will pay more attention to the name of a palace person? And the prime minister's family in front of him knows his name, no matter how he thinks about it, it will definitely not be a good thing.

Seeing Chen Baozhu's face change instantaneously, Han Zhong read indifferently, "Chen Baozhu, Gao Pingren's family, thirteen into the palace, thirty-one for the female history, thirty-eight years old as the master, the last two years for the book, followed by the palm, the palm, the palm, the fifty-rise ceremony, in the fifty-fourth, for the history of Tong." There is a brother who died early, but he left only one son, who is famous, and now he has opened a silk shop on Mahang Street, and the business is said to be good. ”

Wang Chang and Wang Tan were inexplicably surprised, and Han Xuan was even more stunned, "Brother, how do you know?" ”

"How could you not know? The person sent to teach the queen, how could the queen mother not let the imperial city secretary check her bottom. ”

Han Zhong's face became more and more pale, and his voice became even colder like cold water.

His gaze stared at Chen Baozhu like a beast, "Your family background, the Queen Mother knows, the Imperial City Division knows, the princes of the two mansions also know, and the grandfather is also clear." Including the reward that Concubine Zhu gave you, including what you and your nephew got from Taiwei Zhu, it is no secret. …… Chen Tongshi, don't you understand? ”

Chen Baozhu's face was as pale as dirt.

Before leaving, the concubine's secret words, the instructions of the concubine's father, how many private matters were reversed from his mind for a while, how many of them have been known to outsiders?

Thinking of the cold place, his knees weakened and he fell to his knees.

"Jia Yan and the princes of the two mansions are just too lazy to pay attention to you, don't think that they will save too much face for the concubine." Han Zhong snorted coldly, "Do your business honestly." The affairs of the heavenly family are also something you can meddle in? Get lost! ”

Han Zhong reprimanded the old lady from the palace, and turned back to the brothers, "Do you know why I don't want my third sister to enter the palace?" The third sister entering the palace is actually harmless to the family, and if she can persuade the Son of Heaven to go to the right path, it will be a blessing for the world. But there are many people who want to use the life of the third sister and ruin the reputation of Jiayan. ”

He smiled coldly at Wang Chang and Wang Tan, "If something happens to the third sister in the palace, will the world think who the murderer is?!" ”

"Ahh Han Xuan exclaimed, in disbelief.

Wang Tan shook his head again and again, even more unable to agree, "Brother Zhong, if this is really the case, you can't think of it as a grandfather?" ”

"Yes, grandpa thought of it." Han Zhong sighed in a low voice, and suddenly raised his eyes, "But he has transferred the loyalty of the first emperor to the current son, and he would rather take this risk than protect the emperor." However, my grandfather can give up his three sisters today, and maybe he can give up his two cousins in the future. ”
