On the morning of the second day, Han Jian left the courtyard very early, in addition to preparing for the westward march, he also had to prepare for the wedding with Lin Xiaoshu.

When Han Jian returned to the Dongwang Mansion from the military station, the entire Dongwang Mansion was already full of lights and joy, and the whole mansion looked orderly under Han Song's dispatch. Han Jian was about to go in to see Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er, when he saw several maids dressed up, all holding a wooden box in their hands, but they didn't know what was inside.

"Jian'er, this is some of the dowries that Erniang chose for Steward Lin, can you see if it is suitable?" Han Songshi came out of it and said with a smile.

The mother-in-law prepared a dowry for her daughter-in-law, and Han Jian felt a little ridiculous when she heard it. However, Lin Xiaoshu has no father or mother after all, and now she is not even her brother and nephew around, so she should be worried.

Han Jian didn't have the heart to take a closer look, and said, "I don't have to worry about Erniang's work." ”

Han Song's head was just now, and he ordered his subordinates to send it to the Lin Mansion, and at the same time, Han Zhao's and others also came out, this time Lin Xiaoshu was obviously regarded as a concubine when he entered the door, and even several of Han Jian's aunts also attached great importance to it.

"Tomorrow, your Jiuniang will lead the troops to the battle, and I have time to accompany you Jiuniang more, as well as your Sanniang." Han Song's said.

Han Jian nodded slightly, he was still in a hurry to enter the inner house, but he was not in a hurry at this time.

"It just so happens that I have something to say to Jiu Niang." Han Jian nodded.

Han Songshi said: "Then don't bother you, let Jian'er and Ninth Sister stay here, and let's go to the side hall to talk." ”

Seeing that several aunts and maids had left the main hall, Han Jian looked at Han Zhao with a puzzled expression, and also sighed slightly. There are some things he doesn't want to say explicitly, but now, there are some things that he can't say without saying them. Han Jian just wanted to explain openly and honestly to Han Zhao's family about Prince Bai Yan Ning.

"Jiuniang, sit." Han Jian greeted.

"But what about the march?" Han Zhao sat down and asked curiously.

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "Does Jiu Niang know about Prince Yan Ning?" ”

Han Zhao's expression sank slightly. "Why did you suddenly mention this?" ”

Han Jian sighed: "If Jiu Niang still treats me as a child, then I won't ask or say anything." But Jiuniang should also know that now the entire Dongwang Mansion, including the people in the imperial court system, are aware of the old affairs of Prince Yan Ning. The granddaughter of the king of Yanning County had an accident before, and although Jiuniang was far away in Jiangdu, she should not have heard of it. ”

Han Zhao chose to be silent and did not speak for a long time.

"Jiu Niang should know a lot of things, why don't you speak up to me? Or do you think it's time to say it directly? Han Jian asked.

Why do you ask that? The matter of Prince Yan Ning has long been an old thing, and many people have already done it, so why mention it again? ”

"That Jiuniang knows. Is there still one person alive today? Han Jian said sharply.

"Who?" Han Zhao looked at Han Jian, and his surprise was not disguised.

Han Jian squinted, also observing Han Zhao's reaction, he wasn't sure if Han Zhao knew that his father, Han Qi, was not dead. According to the title, Han Zhao's family is Han Jue's concubine, but the women of Han Jian's family all married into the Dongwang Mansion after Han Jue's "death" in the Battle of Jinling, and they are not married to Han Jue. People like Han Song and others have never even met Han Qi. But there is one person who is different, that is Han Zhao, who is his mother's sword and personal force. She is now the nominal concubine of Han Qi in the house, but she is the only person who has known Han Qi for a long time, and may even be in contact.

"My father...... King of the East. Han Jian said with an extremely solemn expression.

Han Zhao stood up, his face was shocked, even his pupils dilated a little, and he stared at Han Jian and said, "You...... Are you kidding? Your father died for his country in the Battle of Jinling twenty years ago. How can you still live in the world? ”

"Is Jiu Niang really not knowing, or is she pretending to be confused?"

Han Zhao said angrily: "If you talk like this, see that Jiu Niang will still care about you in the future!" ”

Han Jian also knew that his tone was a little bad, if Han Zhao really didn't know anything, then his current tone was obviously hostile.

"Jiu Niang forgive me. It's just a matter of urgency, and I don't want to be known to too many people. I could have been calm and thinking about the long term, but this time Jiuniang arrived in Luoyang, and she would lead the troops to go out tomorrow, and many things would be delayed for a long time without asking about it now. Han Jian said.

Han Zhao paced back and forth, looking a little anxious, and finally stopped to look at Han Jian and said, "Your mood Jiu Niang understands, but you can't talk so much Jiu Niang." Your father...... Really alive? ”

Han Jian also shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't met, so I'm not sure." ”

"And where do you know?" Han Zhao asked.

"It was His Majesty who said it." Han Jian replied truthfully.

"Majesty?" Hearing this answer, Han Zhao was slightly surprised, but in the end, he seemed to understand something, and nodded, "Even if your father really didn't die in the Battle of Jinling back then, he wouldn't have returned to the north." Miss ...... It was your mother who did learn that your father was related to Prince Yan Ning, and it was also after she became pregnant with you. After the death of Miss, your father no longer had the slightest contact with Dongwangfu, Jian'er, you have to believe that Jiuniang will not lie to you. ”

Han Jian looked at Han Zhao's earnest eyes, and really couldn't find a reason to be suspicious. He prefers to believe that the people around him are for his good, but there are some things that he still doesn't think about the worst.

What if Han Zhao's clan is really related to Han Qi, and there is still a connection now, and this qiē is just acting for him?

"Then Jiu Niang sent someone to investigate." Han Jian said.

Han Zhao nodded and said, "Today is your big day, don't talk about this, Jiu Niang will find someone to check when you go back." Even if your father is still alive, it will not threaten your current position. Now the Dongwang Mansion is all supported by you alone, and even the imperial court has to rely on you, so you don't have to think about it......"

Although Han Zhao's words were very sincere, Han Jian still noticed something unusual. On weekdays, Han Zhao doesn't talk so much, maybe it's because he suddenly learned that Han Qi is not dead, and he talks a little more. Or......

Han Jian didn't dare to think about it.

The wedding took place as usual.

Before noon, the banquet of the East Wangfu began, and the civil officials under the East Wangfu system arrived at the earliest, and then some military generals who were not on duty also came to celebrate, especially the military generals under the Dongwangfu quartermaster system, who did not dare to slack off at all. After all, one of the two people who got married this time was the helmsman of the East Palace. And the other is the great steward of the financial system of the Eastern Palace, one is their master, and the other is their boss.

After noon, the banquet was still going on, but there was no news from the court officials, and no one came to the banquet. Not even those who sent people to celebrate.

It wasn't until almost dusk that Han Jian was going to greet his relatives, and the palace sent someone over, but it was Yang Xi who personally brought some entourage over, and he came to congratulate him as a special envoy of the palace.

Yang Xi was not wearing court clothes, but a very simple wide robe, and when he got out of the carriage and looked around, he still looked very nervous when he saw many people gathered in front of the Dongwang Mansion. Subconsciously turn around and go back to the carriage. At this time, Han Jian, who got the news in advance, had already come out, and it was close to him going to the Lin Mansion to greet his relatives.

"Brother Han, congratulations." When Yang Xi saw Han Jian, his feelings were a little controlled, but he was still very afraid of life when he came over.

Han Jian waved his hand to prevent anyone from approaching, and personally welcomed Yang Xi to the door, and when he saw a table in the main courtyard, Yang Xi was afraid and hid directly in the corner. Han Jian ordered someone to separate a road from the corridor. Accompanying Yang Xi to the flower hall in the side courtyard, Yang Xi calmed down. I drank it while holding the teapot, as if I had never drunk water in my life.

"Prince, drink slowly." Han Jian frowned slightly, but he didn't know when the tea was served. But it is expected that the flower hall is also usually a few aunts often come to walk around, since the next person has prepared tea, even if it is cold, it will not be overnight.

Yang Xi drank water and got better. But his face turned red and said, "My sister asked me to come...... I...... I don't really want to come out. ”

Han Jian smiled and nodded, thinking of how Yang Rui was still worried about herself, she would not come to his wedding now because of her identity, but she still sent Yang Xi. This also has the meaning of letting Yang Xi experience.

"Brother Han. I...... Can I just sit here for a while and go back when it gets dark? I...... I don't want to go out and see so many people, and I'm leaving tomorrow, so I want to go back early and get some rest. Yang Xi said with a bitter face.

Han Jian nodded and said, "Whatever you want, I want to welcome you, and I'll talk to you when I come back." ”

"No, I can't drink, I'll get drunk after a few drinks. Still is...... It's good to drink tea, but ...... Not anymore. It would be best if someone had another pot ready, I don't want to drink it hot, it's better if it's already cold, but not too cold. ”

Han Jian smiled bitterly, Yang Xi really didn't regard himself as an outsider, and the requirements he made were quite complicated. But such a small request is nothing.

Han Jian immediately asked people to prepare, and at the same time explained to Yang Xi twice, and went out to take the team to welcome relatives in the direction of Lin Mansion.

This time, Han Jian's wedding was more lively than when he married Gu Xin'er in Jiangdu, with more than 1,000 people in the carriage and horse honor guards, deacon cards and accompanying servants, as well as escort officials and guards, plus the city garrison to maintain order. Along the way, although there were people watching, no one dared to get too close, after all, the people of Luoyang did not regard the East King as their "own person", which was different from the situation of the Jiangdu people when they saw the East Wangfu. In addition, the city does not stop these days, and some people are afraid of getting into trouble.

However, this also brought convenience to the security of the line, in order to prevent someone from harboring ill intentions towards Han Jian, this road was also heavily guarded.

When Han Jian went to the Lin Mansion in person and entered the inside, Lin Xiaoshu had not yet covered his hijab, and was still sitting on the stool of the dresser in the company of several women, the old mother and the maid, and his hair had just been combed, and the whole person was different from before, full of red light, with shyness, not at all as spicy as the little shrew in the market, and more of the charm of a mature woman.

"See His Royal Highness the East King."

Han Jian entered the house, and one person in the room saluted Han Jian.

The old lady who accompanied her reminded: "Your Highness, this is unreasonable, you shouldn't have entered here." ”

Han Jian looked at the women present, although he didn't know the exact identities of these women, he also knew that it was arranged by Han Song's family, which could be regarded as a kind of guidance before marriage, so that Lin Xiaoshu could understand some basic etiquette and conduct of women. Originally, these things should have been said by Lin Xiaoshu's mother and married women in her mother's family, such as sister-in-law, but because Lin Xiaoshu has an older brother now, and Lin Zhan has not yet started a family, there is no such experienced elder woman.

However, because it was a secret message from the woman's mother's family, Han Jian should not come in person, but should wait outside for Lin Xiaoshu to cover his head, be carried out and into the sedan chair, and then go back with the team to welcome the relatives. But Han Jian still didn't want to be too obsessed with these.

"Xiao Shu, I look good today." Han Jian stepped forward with a smile and gently stroked Lin Xiaoshu's cheek with his hand, Lin Xiaoshu still looked very ashamed of being slighted by Han Jian in front of so many women who were very strange to her. But I'm more ashamed, and I'm still very happy in my heart.

But at this moment, he heard the sound of "hammer", a porcelain plate containing candied fruit fell to the ground and shattered, Han Jian couldn't help but look over, but it was a woman standing there, bowing her head in a panic, with a panicked look.

"Your Highness, don't be surprised, the years are safe, the years are safe!" The old mother on the side hurriedly said that Han Jian and Lin Xiaoshu were about to get married, but there was a fruit plate overturned, which was not a good omen.

Han Jian smiled, looked down at the woman who was cleaning up the fragments of the fruit bowl, and asked with a smile: "Today is a day of celebration, how can this king blame?" ”

When the woman heard this, she seemed to be more anxious, but she also forgot that the porcelain piece that had just broken was extremely sharp, and her hand was gently scratched, and it was already bleeding, and her hand was retracted, and even the brocade in her hand fell to the ground.

"I'm really ignorant, I knew I shouldn't have brought you here." On the side, a woman who seemed to be a little unscrupulous began to complain there, while the woman who had been taught was half-kneeling on the ground, picking up Jinpa and wiping the blood from her hands, with her head bowed and a look of grievance and helplessness.

Han Jian smiled and asked, "I don't know why this lady knocked over the fruit plate?" ”

"It's the slave family that is not good, the slave family...... Didn't hold it steady. The slave is guilty, the slave deserves to die......" The woman shrank back, and the whole person knelt there like a kitten.

Because his head was down, Han Jian didn't even see his appearance clearly.

Han Jian didn't have the heart to care too much, and waited for the woman on the side to bless and cover Lin Xiaoshu's head with a hijab, before he walked out of the house with the old mother who was carrying Lin Xiaoshu on her back and went to the direction of the door. At this time, he also noticed that the woman who had just overturned the fruit plate had been pulled away by the accompanying woman one step earlier, and he could only see a silhouette, which could not be seen clearly, but he also felt very delicate, and his age should not be very large.

"Aunt Lu, who is it?" After all, he didn't have to worry about carrying the bride to the sedan chair, Han Jian stopped and asked the old mother who came over with him.

"Young son, the old man doesn't know, it's all confessed by the princess of the county, let people choose a few ladies with both ability and political integrity among the officials and families who came to Luoyang in the East Prince's Mansion to come and admonish them, who it is, you have to go back to find out." Aunt Lu said with a sad face.

Han Jian looked at the back of the person leaving, nodded and walked out of the door. There are some things that shouldn't be taken into account, but somehow, my heart seems to be stuck in something. (To be continued......)
