The bureau has been laid out, and some plans are in the people and things are in the sky. All Han Jian could do was wait.

By mid-October, it was already very cold in the north, and Luoyang had several light snowfalls, and the soldiers of Dongwangfu, located near Beiguan, had to bear the double pressure of cold and lack of food and grass in winter.

As the number one person in the military quartermaster system of the Eastern Wangfu, Lin Xiaoshu has been very busy for several days. Not only did she have to help Dongwangfu tide over the difficulties, but it was her brother who led the troops in the north this time, and her little nephew Lin Xiaoyun was also in the army. For this reason, she is more attentive to her work, although her residence is also in the Dongwang Mansion, but she is busy, often sleepless for several days in a row.

With the arrival of a heavy snowfall in late October, the temperature plummeted, and Lin Xiaoshu was tired and sick.

Lin Xiaoshu's role in the military quartermaster system is self-evident, and her illness almost paralyzed the dispatch of grain and grass materials in Luoyang and Jiangdu. Lin Xiaoshu did many things herself, which also made the officials below quite dependent on her. Lin Xiaoshu was sick, and all kinds of things piled up, and then these accumulated affairs came to Han Jian's hands, which made Han Jian look at one head and two big.

"The house leak happened to rain overnight." Han Jian could only sigh at these official documents, it was not that he couldn't solve them, or that he might be more convincing in scheduling, and he could be more diligent in doing things below. It's just that there are too many of these facts, not only involving grain and grass, but also subdividing into the requisition of grain and grass in the local area, and then detailing the amount of money, grain and materials, each of which has been calculated by Lin Xiaoshu himself. For some places, there is also a amount of recruitment in advance, and it is a little difficult to start if Han Jian is not familiar with it.

Han Jian had no choice but to go back to his home to visit Lin Xiaoshu's condition.

With Lin Xiaoshu falling ill, the treatment she received in the East Prince's Mansion was also at the level of the East Princess.

Han Song's family has long had a good impression of the capable Lin Xiaoshu, and he has also arranged for Han Jian to marry Lin Xiaoshu into the mansion before. This time Lin Xiaoshu was sick, and she found the best doctor. used the best medicine, and even sent a lot of maids to serve Lin Xiaoshu, as if she was her own daughter.

When Han Jian returned home, it was Lin Xiaoshu who had just taken medicine and was about to rest. When Han Jian entered the house, the room was filled with the smell of medicine. A few maids were waiting inside, and they were about to go out.

"Young boy......" When Lin Xiaoshu saw Han Jian, he wanted to get up and salute, and Han Jian signaled that she didn't need to get up.

Han Jian pulled a chair and sat down in front of the bed, looked at Lin Xiaoshu, who was pale and wrapped in a heavy futon, and sighed: "Has the condition improved?" ”

Lin Xiaoshu was a little sad and said: "It's also not the right time for me to get sick." ”

"It's fine." Han Jian said with a smile, "The previous batches of grain and grass have been shipped to the north, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being." The peace of mind is that I will arrange for someone else to take over from you these days. ”

"Hmm." Lin Xiaoshu nodded. Looking at Han Jian's gaze, there was a different meaning.

Han Jian said: "In the past two years, you have helped the Dongwang Mansion take care of a lot of things, and you are very busy, and you don't have much time to sit together and talk well." You're not young now, have you ever thought about getting married? ”

Lin Xiaoshu's expression darkened slightly, and he shook his head and said, "No." ”

Han Jian wanted to say something, but he stopped talking. Now that Lin Xiaoshu is recuperating from his illness, some words are not appropriate.

However, Han Jian was also very considerate and took Lin Xiaoshu's hand. At this time, although Lin Xiaoshu was covered with a heavy quilt, his body was still a little cold. Han Jian held Lin Xiaoshu's hand with his hand. Soon Lin Xiaoshu's hands became warmer, and even Lin Xiaoshu's face was a little more bloody, not as pale as it looked before.

"Take care of your illness, and when you recover, you don't have to be too busy. Let you feel at ease as a big housekeeper. ”

Han Jian patted Lin Xiaoshu's hand and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Lin Xiaoshu nodded. His complexion was a little flushed.

Being held by Han Jian is already a very "light" thing for a woman in this era, but she has no resistance, Han Jian can already feel that Lin Xiaoshu is not unintentional from this point.

looked at Lin Xiaoshu and closed his eyes. I don't know if she fell asleep, Han Jian sat for a while before coming out. At this time, Han Song's family had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

Because the heavy snow has just stopped, there is still some snow in the yard. When Han Songshi saw Han Jian coming out, he greeted him and motioned to go outside to talk.

"Jian'er, I know you're very busy these days, but the affairs in the army are too busy to take care of it alone?" Han Song said, "But do you need Erniang and Sanniang to help you?" ”

"No, you can handle it." Han Jian said.

"You just hold on, these days you either go out early and return late, or simply stay overnight in the military yamen and don't come back, can Erniang not feel distressed when she sees it? That's it, now it happens that Steward Lin is sick and needs someone to help you. Although Erniang is not good, she still has some connections and means, so I don't believe that she can't help you. ”

Han Jian didn't think so.

He knows very well that Lin Xiaoshu does things himself, and it is precisely because he must do everything personally that Lin Xiaoshu has quickly risen in the military and political system and become a figure that cannot be ignored. No matter how high Han Song's ability is, after all, she is a woman from the East Palace, and she can't just go below, without the supervision and management of the below, there will inevitably be omissions.

"Erniang, you're thinking too much. In fact, if you want to say busy, I'm not busy, but I can't take a break a lot of the time. This war in the north should be started as soon as it is said, and it must also be prepared and responded to at any time. As for the vacancy caused by Steward Lin's illness, because Erniang, you can't go down there, in fact, it's not appropriate for you to do it. I have a candidate, and I also want Erniang to consult. ”

Han Song thought for a moment before asking, "Who?" ”

"It's the eldest lady of the Song family. Now that the people of the Song family have returned to Jiangdu, she is alone in the capital, although she lives in the Dongwang Mansion, but because of her few connections, she will always be a little alone. In addition, now the weapon casting mainly comes from Jiangdu, and there is not much to do in the military industry in Luoyang. Instead, it is better to let her come over to help take care of the grain and grass scheduling. ”

Han Song nodded and said, "It's also a good candidate." It's just that...... Alas! Don't blame Erniang for always talking about you, you say, the little girls of the Song family have already lived in the gate of Dongwangfu, you are a man, it is just a matter of easy to accept her. The most important thing in the daughter's family is to her husband, what is the matter with you hanging on others like this now? ”

Han Jian was silent, he didn't want to explain too much about this question.

For women, he still pays attention to "desire". Even for Yang Xiuxiu, it was because of some evil fire given to him by Yang Rui, coupled with the irrationality that he wanted to control Yang Xiuxiu, that made him "occupy". But for Lin Xiaoshu and even Song Suqing, he feels that he is a family, and some things have no emotional foundation. It will make him feel guilty.

He didn't want to be a saint who sat still, and he wasn't a saint either. But there are some things that he still does with the enlightened ideas of a civilized person, rather than doing things on impulse with just his brain.

"Xiao Shu and Miss Song, don't ask Erniang. I asked too much, and there were some things I didn't want to say. Han Jian's tone was a little stiff.

Han Songshi sighed: "Then you go to the little girl of the Song family to talk about this." However, she is just an ordinary woman, and if she suddenly takes over Steward Lin, she may not be able to adapt to it, you still have to give her time. You can't use Erniang's old bones. However, Erniang will still find you some capable people to help you in Shenbiang, all of whom are some old courtiers of Dongwangfu that Erniang can trust, and you don't always appoint newcomers and ignore these old courtiers. ”

Han Jianxin said that Han Song's clan still wanted to use some methods to infiltrate the military and political system of the Eastern Prince's Mansion.

Newcomers and new atmosphere, after Han Jian presided over the affairs of the East Prince's Mansion, a group of people from the original Han Song clan have been replaced almost in the past two years. Mainly those "old ministers" in Han Song's mouth. are too "modest", which is also a characteristic that is almost necessary for people in this era. But for the East Palace, which is currently in a period of extremely rapid rise. Some of the ministers of the mean have become an obstacle to the domination of the Eastern Prince's Mansion in the north.

And a huge military and political system is not what Han Jian wants, and in the past two years, Han Jian has also streamlined the institutions of the Dongwang Mansion to reduce expenses. This also made those old ministers brush down, and these people would naturally often go to Han Song's to cry.

Now that Lin Xiaoshu is sick and the military and political system is a little chaotic, Han Song's taking this opportunity to bring up this matter is also expected by Han Jian.

"Pick the best and record it." Han Jian said casually, "At present, the Dongwang Mansion needs old courtiers. But he is also a capable person, not a useless person who eats and waits for death. ”

Han Song thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Do what you want." ”

Separated from Han Song's family, Han Jian went directly to Song Suqing's residence in the East Chamber. The annex of the East Wangfu in Luoyang was not big, and it took more than half a year. Dongwangfu bought several mansions next door, and then expanded some of them, mainly to expand the inner mansions. The yard has gone from eight or nine to almost twenty now. There are many places, and Han Jian is also going to it for the first time, because he usually doesn't come to places like the East Chamber.

Under the guidance of the maid, he found his way, and before he could enter the courtyard, a maid came out of it.

"Young boy Ann." The two maids obviously had just come out of Song Suqing's house, and it was the end of the afternoon Shen Shi, and Song Suqing should have almost come back when Han Jian calculated.

"Miss Song is in there?" Han Jian asked.

"Back to the young master, Miss Song just came back." The maid replied respectfully.

The maid wanted to say something, but Han Jian didn't have the heart to ask, so he walked directly to the house. Since Song Suqing had just come back, and Han Jian was his own home, he ignored it a little in terms of etiquette, and the door was just hidden rather than closed, so he also pushed the door in directly.

"Ahh Suddenly, there was an exclamation from inside, which startled Han Jian.

Han Jian thought that he was a little too reckless to enter a woman's boudoir like this, and he was also in his own home, and he rarely knocked on the door when he entered a woman's boudoir on weekdays. If Song Suqing was changing clothes at this time, it would be a bit rude.

When he looked at it clearly, he felt that he was more rude. At this time, Song Suqing was bathing in the back room.

Although Song Suqing put down the curtain between the inner room and the outer room between the bath, the curtain did not seal all the inner room, and the screen for changing clothes itself was also transparent, so that Han Jian could see a scene of a beautiful woman bathing.

Song Suqing's body was in the barrel, and her upper body was still exposed outside the barrel, and after screaming, she realized that the person who came in was none other than the owner of the East Palace, Han Jian himself.

"Oh." Han Jian smiled awkwardly, wanting to avoid it, it was not appropriate to go out like this, there happened to be a desk in the outhouse, and it would not be directly opposite the place where the curtain was staggered in the line of sight, so he went to the desk, picked up a book on the desk casually, and said, "Rude." Miss Song just has to go to her own devices. It's good if the king doesn't come. ”

Originally, there was dead silence inside, but it didn't take a while. Song Suqing had already calmed down from the panic, and the sound of water sounded again.

In such a beautiful environment, a woman was bathing inside, and even if Han Jian sat outside reading a book, he naturally couldn't read it.

Because of Han Jian's arrival, Song Suqing obviously had no intention of continuing to bathe. Hurriedly getting up to wipe his body, Han Jian couldn't help but sweep his gaze over, but he could also see a very beautiful silhouette behind the curtain, which was busy there.

When Song Suqing finished wiping her body, the footsteps started, but the person opened the curtain and walked out.

Han Jianzheng felt as if there was something missing, and when he came out, he suddenly realized that Song Suqing was missing the steps to get dressed. Just walked out naked. I didn't even wear shoes on my feet.

At this time, Song Suqing was naked, even her hair was spread out, and she was covered in a cloud of water vapor, and after she came out, she didn't know if it was because of cold or fear, and her body was trembling slightly. Because he didn't wear shoes, he didn't walk silently, but he went directly to the desk in the outhouse. Ying Ying is a courtesy, that's how you can still be so polite. Han Jian couldn't help but feel that the qiē in front of him was too embarrassing.

"Miss Song......"

Han Jian wanted to lower his head, but he couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery in front of him. After all, he is also a normal man, Song Suqing is outstanding in terms of appearance and figure, and he is from a large family, with a good background, background and even education. If such a woman stood in front of her, she didn't react. Han Jian is also a man.

"The people's daughter sees the young son." Song Suqing's voice was graceful and decent, and she did not lose her voice due to the trembling of her body.

However, with such a strong composure, Han Jian could also sense the uneasiness in her heart.

Han Jian sighed: "Miss Song, don't think that I deliberately came in while you were bathing, but I didn't have time to ask the maid in detail just now, and I asked Haihan for the recklessness." ”

Han Jian said. But I also feel that this defense is a little weak.

entered the boudoir of someone's daughter's house, but he didn't even say hello in advance, and he didn't go out when he saw people bathing after coming in. It's no wonder that Song Suqing thought about it a lot, thinking that Han Jian was doing it on purpose.

Song Suqing probably didn't think clearly about her position in the Dongwang Mansion, thinking that Han Jian was here to appreciate her bathing, so she simply walked out so directly, in fact, she was still a little aggrieved in her heart. After all, Han Jian didn't make any statement, so he trespassed into her boudoir and saw her "full appearance", if it weren't for Han Jian being the king of the East and the Song family had made it clear that they would send her to the East Palace, she would have lost her temper now. Either fight hard with Han Jian, or you have to break off on your own.

Women in this era still have a strong sense of chastity. No outsider should be allowed to blaspheme.

"Su Qing, come here."

Now that they have all arrived at this step, what Han Jian wants to say is too unkind, and it is really too unkind. With his change of mouth, Song Suqing's body was also slightly shocked.

Song Suqing hesitated slightly, but still walked up to the money, and when she came to Han Jian, she lowered her head, and her chest was obviously very nervous.

Han Jian stretched out his hand, but he also gently pulled Song Suqing's hand that was originally clasped in front of him. Song Suqing's hands are not delicate and silky, which is also related to the fact that she had to help the family forge weapons before, but it should be that the Song family intends to send her to the Dongwang Mansion in the past two years, and they will no longer let her touch the forging weapons in person, so her hands look well maintained. At least there are no calluses.

But even so, Song Suqing still has some inferiority. After all, she also has good sisters around her, and compared to the hands of those sisters, she herself knows that her hands are not beautiful.

"Su Qing, as I told you before, there are some things that are not unkind. The relationship between you and me, in the eyes of outsiders, always seems to come to that point. But I don't want to force it on you, because I don't want to blaspheme you. Han Jian said earnestly, "I can feel that you are a good girl." There are so many women around me, even if you stay, you may not be able to get the happiness of your daughter's family. On the contrary, it is better to let yourself choose, if you want to stay with this king, this king will treat you sincerely and will not be partial. But if you don't want to stay, the king will still treat you as a guest in the East Palace, and if you want to get married in the future, the king will never interfere. ”

"The women don't dare." Song Suqing heard Han Jian's words, as if she was frightened, and knelt directly on her knees, but said with a panicked face.

"What's wrong?" Han Jian was also a little surprised.

Song Suqing just knelt, lowered her head and didn't speak. Han Jian asked anything, but she didn't answer.

Han Jianxin said that it was really hard to guess the thoughts of this daughter's family, and it stands to reason that Song Suqing was forced into the Dongwang Mansion by the family, and she should have some opinions in her heart. But it seems that she is not rejecting the matter of entering the Dongwang Mansion as a woman for him, otherwise she would not have walked out without clothes after his "rudeness" today. Maybe Song Suqing decided to come out like this. Preparations are made for "dedication".

His words were also very sincere words, and he was afraid that Song Suqing would not understand them at all. It may be a difference in mentality, Han Jian may be able to subtly change some of the thoughts of the women around him, making them more open-minded. But after all, Song Suqing is a "model" cultivated by the feudal and conservative ideas of this era, and his sudden words will naturally make Song Suqing think more.

"If the young man despises the people's daughter...... The folk girl just has to go. Don't dare to disturb the young man's eyes. Song Suqing almost said these words with a crying voice.

Han Jian sighed: "Alas! What are you talking about? Actually......"

Han Jian was about to say something. Song Suqing also took the initiative to bow her head and kowtow to Han Jian respectfully. Every time he leaned over, he could hear a sound, which showed how hard Song Suqing kowtowed.

Han Jian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Song Suqing, and after she only kowtowed two heads, he used his hands to help her head up, and at this time, although Song Suqing's forehead was not bloody, it was also red. And Song Suqing's cheeks have already slid down two lines of tears, which shows that she is also very sad.

"Young boy......" Song Suqing sobbed. His eyes were looking at Han Jian, trying to find something from Han Jian's gaze.

On weekdays, she didn't dare to face Han Jian, but at this time, she couldn't care about anything else.

Han Jian stretched out his fingers and wiped the tears from Song Suqing's face, but he didn't let go of his hand, but touched Song Suqing's thin lips with his fingers.

Song Suqing was still a little dazed, but at this moment. As if he had understood something, the two lips opened slightly. As if she had mustered up enough courage, she gently sucked Han Jian's fingers stained with her tears.

From this point, Han Jian could feel that Song Suqing should have received some teachings in this regard before entering the Dongwang Mansion. There has even been special training in this area.

An ordinary woman would not do this. It's like Yang Li'er. Until now, he is also very arrogant in the boudoir, and what Han Jian wants to do is completely passive. And Gu Xin'er is very "sensible" in many things because of the teaching of Wen'er, a little troublemaker, and even without Han Jian beckoning, Gu Xin'er can do some things that her daughter's family doesn't understand.

I thought of several women from the Song family who came to Luoyang with Song Suqing before. This also shows that these women have had very detailed teachings on how to be a good woman beside Song Suqing who wants to be favored by the East King. Even if he put down the most basic shyness of his daughter's family, he mustered up the courage to walk out of the curtain that seemed to be like a moat.

Facing the amorous nature of the jade man, Han Jian couldn't help but smile. This is a very novel feeling, Song Suqing is a young lady of everyone, and she should be good at etiquette and etiquette. Now that he can look at it with such a charming and delicate attitude, it really makes him a little excited.

Han Jian stretched out his hand again, and Song Suqing's eyes were already a little misty as he raised his head. But she also followed Han Jian's guidance and did some things that she had not yet experienced.

Song Suqing's hands were caught by Han Jian, but he helped Han Jian untie the placket with his own hands under Han Jian's instructions.

I wanted to reach out and grab Song Qingle's hand, but it was empty. Originally, Song Suqing still had tears on her face, and at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little happy to laugh.

Han Jian smiled embarrassedly, and then Song Suqing took the initiative to get up by herself, without Han Jian saying anything, and without Han Jian doing it himself, Song Suqing meticulously helped Han Jian do a good job.

Han Jian could still sit upright, but at this time, even if he held a book in his hand, he couldn't sit too comfortably after all. Song Suqing was afraid that she would not do well, so she looked up at Han Jian, and when she saw Han Jian looking at it with a smile on her face, she lowered her head in shame and continued to do her own thing.

The snow had been falling outside, but inside the house was warm. Originally, Song Suqing's body was still shivering from the cold, but under such a beautiful atmosphere, her body temperature also rose.

Han Jian was about to make further movements, but he heard footsteps outside. But Han Songshi didn't see him go back, so he came to look for him in person. (To be continued......)
