Han Jian sent Sima Yi downstairs first, and then met Gu Xin'er, who came to Yashe alone to find him and waited on the first floor.

I haven't seen her for a few days, Gu Xin'er is still beautiful without makeup, which makes Han Jian feel a little beautiful at first sight. Perhaps because of her perennial practice in the Shangqing Palace, Gu Xin'er is very indifferent, and she will not deliberately decorate when she goes out, which will bring out the most simple piece of expression.

"Xin'er, why are you here? Isn't it about tomorrow? Han Jian smiled and stepped forward.

"Young boy." Gu Xin'er bowed, and said with a little shyness on her face, "Xin'er came uninvited, because she had something to ask for." ”

Something? Han Jian thought to himself, it can't be related to Old Man Gu again, right?

"What's the matter with Xin'er? Sit down and say. Han Jian said, warmly beckoned Gu Xin'er to sit down, and asked Lin Xiaoshu to prepare refreshments to entertain Gu Xin'er.

Lin Xiaoshu was already wondering where someone came from to find Han Jian, and she was also a little surprised in her heart, but she also knew that with Han Jian's identity, it had nothing to do with her, and she was just the shopkeeper of the restaurant invited by Han Jian.

Lin Xiaoshu was beckoning his men to serve tea, but Gu Xin'er refused to sit down, and said to Han Jian: "Xin'er came this time to ask the young son to take Xin'er...... Meet my father's ...... outside That home ......"

When Gu Xin'er said this, Han Jian understood. Gu Xin'er was going to see the woman that Old Man Gu was raising outside.

"Xin'er, this ......" Han Jian didn't know how to say it, although Gu Xin'er couldn't get her father's love, but how to say that she was also the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter went to see her father's outer house, and it was embarrassing to meet, and it was easy to stiffen the relationship. Han Jian really didn't want to break up the relationship between the Gu family and completely split the Gu family.

Gu Xin'er looked at Han Jian with a clear gaze. He said earnestly: "Don't worry, young man, Xin'er understands some truths." Xin'er wants to beg the young man just to go over and take a look, and Xin'er won't reveal her identity. Xin'er just wanted to see it. Who the hell snatched the father? ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, he also understood that in the hearts of children, the relationship between parents is the most important, even if they have any faults, they are perfect in the eyes of children. In Gu Xin'er's eyes, her mother is synonymous with a good wife and mother, such a good wife and mother will be abandoned by a benevolent and great father, how can a girl understand the breakdown of her parents' marriage in her heart.

"Okay." Han Jian said with a smile. "I believe that with Xin'er, you are knowledgeable and reasonable, and you will not make drastic moves."

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er smiled gratefully and nodded, her expression was very tame.

Han Jian was going to pretend to investigate the case, but now that Gu Xin'er has something to ask for, he doesn't have the heart to pretend, anyway, he already has a plan in his heart. This time, he accompanied Gu Xin'er to see Gu Weipan's home outside, and Han Jian was also mentally prepared to prevent the two sides from disagreeing and collapsing, and he would act as an intermediary to reconcile when the time came. If you really can't help each other. He also understands the importance of the issue of position, and helping Gu Xin'er is what he has to do.

Han Jian and Gu Xin'er walked all the way, and the guards were far away so that Han Jian and Gu Xin'er could be alone. The two are talented and beautiful, walking on the street. There were many people watching, Gu Xin'er was a little embarrassed to walk beside Han Jian like a little daughter, but she also asked Han Jian a few questions from time to time. It is mainly about the situation of Gu Weipan's outer house.

“…… Her real surname is Song, and the neighbors call her Sister Xue...... Xin'er. Some things are better for you to see for yourself, I'm an outsider. Inconvenient to interject ......"

Gu Xin'er didn't force Han Jian to say too much, Han Jian was actually most afraid that Gu Xin'er would know that her father had actually given birth to a son when she was away, but she felt that Gu Xin'er might not know about this kind of thing. This matter made Han Jian very conflicted, knowing that it was not good to take Gu Xin'er to visit so abruptly, but he couldn't bear to refuse her, whether this was helping the Gu family's members or destroying the happiness of other people's families, he couldn't say.

However, Han Jian also has confidence in Gu Xin'er, he believes that with Gu Xin'er's kind nature, he can properly handle today's meeting.

Han Jian came to visit Gu Weipan's house for the second time, he came late last time, and finally met Gu Weipan, which made the scene a little embarrassing, this time Han Jian and Gu Xin'er came over early, Han Jian thought to himself that Gu Weipan should still be on an errand at the Shangting Office at this time, and he would not come back so early.

"Here we are." When he arrived at the side of the road on Gu Weipan's Waizhai Street, Han Jian didn't take Gu Xin'er to step forward directly, but just pointed to a door and said.

"Huh?" Gu Xin'er didn't expect her father to live in such an ordinary place, the wall in front of her was very low, just an ordinary house, although the street was quite wide, but this was obviously not in line with Gu Weipan's identity as the chief minister of the Shangting Office.

"Father...... He usually lives here? Gu Xin'er said, a little choked up between her words.

Han Jian hurriedly comforted her, but fortunately, Gu Xin's love was not out of control, but she looked at the door with a little sadness, probably she could understand a little bit why her father didn't return to the mansion, instead of living in such an ordinary place.

Han Jian sighed with emotion, and only the desireless love of Old Man Gu is true love.

"Xin'er, do you want to go up and have a look?" Han Jian asked Gu Xin'er tentatively.

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er looked at Han Jian pleadingly, "Can the young man take me in to have a look?" ”

Han Jianden felt a little embarrassed, although he had already entered it once, but that trip to Gu Weipan's small courtyard was not smooth, and he was finally driven out by Gu Weipan. Who knows how Gu Weipan explained to the woman afterwards, in case he doesn't see him behind closed doors, isn't it too embarrassing?

Han Jian thought about it, since it was Gu Xin'er's request, why didn't it matter if he was embarrassed once, it was a big deal to be kicked out of the door, anyway, he was thick-skinned.

"Let's go, Xin'er, let's go knock on the door." Han Jian said in a firm tone.

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er saw that Han Jian had already taken a step, so she followed Han Jian and walked to the door of the small courtyard.

When he arrived at the door, Han Jian didn't knock on the door immediately, but looked at Gu Xin'er and smiled awkwardly: "Oh Xin'er, this is easy to say, if people are not friendly for a while, you have to look at it." ”

Gu Xin'er looked at Han Jian's deflated appearance, and felt that while Han Jian was reckless, he could also feel that Han Jian was indeed sincerely helping her.

"Xin'er understands." Gu Xin'er smiled in return.

"Okay, there's a knock on the door."

Han Jian patted the knocker, but for a long time he didn't see anyone answering inside, and when he shot again, no one answered.

"Who are you?" Han Jian was about to shoot for the third time, but his voice sounded from behind him. The voice was a little old, it was not the hostess of the small courtyard, but the maid Sister-in-law Hu who Han Jian had seen last time. Sister-in-law Hu was followed by a little heel, but it was Gu Weipan's youngest son, because he was afraid of life, the little boy hid behind Sister-in-law Hu, pulling Sister-in-law Hu's dress and looking at a group of strangers in front of him.

"This ...... Sister-in-law Hu, don't you know each other? Han Jian looked at the group of absolute guards beside him, and hurriedly waved his hand to let them go away first, and then looked at Sister-in-law Hu with a smile.

"Are you ......" Sister-in-law Hu looked at Han Jian, and suddenly said, "Oh, last time you came, it seems to be ...... My old man's friend ......"

Han Jian said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, Chief Gu is the boss below, and this time, I came to visit Chief Gu." ”

"Oh." Sister-in-law Hu was relieved, her expression was not as restrained as just now, and she walked to the door and said, "My master is still in the yamen and has not come back, this son is here to visit, it is better to visit the yamen directly." ”

"Sister-in-law Hu, we have some personal matters and want to come to see Chief Gu." Han Jian said, "There are some things that are inconvenient in the yamen. ”

Sister-in-law Hu looked at Han Jian, and then looked at the woman next to Han Jian, guessing that she probably came to ask the master for help.

After all, Gu Weipan is the deputy auxiliary minister of the dynasty, and he is in a high position, even if Gu Weipan is hiding in such a small courtyard similar to a paradise, there will still be people who find out about the situation and give gifts on weekdays. Sister-in-law Hu is also not surprised, and she can't call the shots for this kind of thing.

"My lord really hasn't come back, or ...... Childe will come back at another hour. Saying that, Sister-in-law Hu has opened the door and wants to enter the door.

Han Jian said: "Otherwise, let's go in and sit and wait for Chief Gu for a while?" This matter is related to the affairs of the imperial court, and it must be made clear to Chief Gu in person, so he does not dare to delay it for a long time. ”

With Sister-in-law Hu's knowledge, she naturally felt that it was the affairs of the Yamen, and she wanted to invite Han Jian to sit in, but she didn't dare to call the shots.

"Wait, I'll go in and ask Madame." After speaking, Sister-in-law Hu led the little boy into the door and closed the door.

Waiting for the door to close, Han Jian sighed, looked at Gu Xin'er and said, "You also know that your father is not at home, and there is no man in the family, so ordinary women dare not let strangers in." ”

Gu Xin'er nodded knowingly and said, "Xin'er understands...... Young boy, have you been here before? ”

"Hmm." Han Jian said casually, "I came here once, and I happened to meet your father and was kicked out by him. It's okay, your father is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he still doesn't go back to the house with me when he turns around? ”

The dividend benefactor was a little apologetic, and saluted: "The young man helped Xin'er, and Xin'er couldn't repay it." ”

Han Jian wanted to say, "It's okay to just make a promise with your body", but he knew that women in ancient times were more conservative, and such jokes couldn't be said. So he only smiled and said nothing.

After a while, the door reopened, and the hostess of the small courtyard came out to greet her, accompanied by Sister-in-law Hu.

"It turned out to be Han Gongzi." When the woman saw Han Jian, she bowed and saluted.

"Yes......" Han Jian was stunned for a moment, and the other party said his surname, indicating that Gu Weipan had already told the woman his identity last time, "I've seen Madame." ”

"Don't dare to be." The woman saluted again, and did not ask Gu Xin'er where she came from, and said, "Two, please come in and talk." ”

"Okay."

Han Jian and Gu Xin'er entered the courtyard one after the other, and when they arrived at the courtyard, they were still green and vibrant, it was early summer, and the potted plants in the courtyard were well organized by Old Man Gu.

At the table where she sat last time, the woman had already arranged for Sister-in-law Hu to go in and move the chairs.

"Don't bother, we'll just stand and wait." Han Jian said.

"Han Gongzi is a distinguished guest, how can a woman be lazy?" The woman said, taking the chair handed over by Sister-in-law Hu, so that there were two chairs in front of the table plus the one that Gu Weipan sat on weekdays.

"Xin'er, sit." Han Jian greeted Gu Xin'er.

Gu Xin'er kept looking at the woman, and she didn't seem to hear Han Jian speak at all. (To be continued......)
