Chapter 62: The Unwelcome Visitor
Soon after the woman entered, she made tea and brought it to the tea table, and ordered the old maid to bring a stool, but Zhang Xing refused to sit down.
"The old man came back after he dispersed, and he never delayed outside." The woman said to Han Jian.
Han Jian smiled and nodded, and said in his heart that Old Man Gu was still a good man of the Gu family, although Gu was a foreign house.
Han Jian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the tea was very fragrant, and asked, "The tea is fragrant, I haven't drunk it before, I don't know what kind of tea it is?" ”
The woman smiled and said, "The official has the same preference as my lord, and my lord also likes to drink this tea." This is an ordinary ink blue. ”
"Mo Qing?" Han Jian frowned, there were not a few teas he had tasted, but he had never heard of this kind of tea, and it was still very "ordinary"?
"The tea leaves in the women's hometown are not worth mentioning...... "The woman went into the house, apparently preparing dinner.
This woman's first impression of Han Jian was cautious, and then the impression was that she had a temperament, and he couldn't say what this temperament was. Han Jian thought to himself that this should be the reason why this woman had an average appearance, but she could keep Gu Weipan.
Han Jian's main purpose of coming over this time was to investigate the situation, and after some exchanges, he probably had an understanding in his heart, and was thinking about whether to leave, when he saw the little boy who had entered the house before, coming out of the house and running around the yard.
At first, the boy was very afraid of life, but seeing that Han Jian didn't seem to have malicious intent, he tried to climb on the swing and swing there by himself. Then the woman came out and shouted, "Xiaowen, go back and do your homework." ”
"Oh." The boy pursed his lips in response, and went back to his room.
The woman smiled apologetically at Han Jian, as if she felt that her son had disturbed the guests by coming out to play.
"Forgive me, official. The child is small and does not understand. ”
Han Jian said with a smile: "Ling Gongzi is very lively and active. ”
The woman said: "The women and children of the people have just opened their studies and have not yet restrained their playful hearts, so they often can't control it. ”
This woman does not shy away from her love for her son in front of outsiders, and directly refers to her as a "child".
Han Jian asked, "Ling Gongzi is enlightened, but he invited Mr. back to teach?" ”
The woman shook her head and said, "I study in a private school." ”
As she spoke, there was a knock at the door, and the woman hurried to open it, as if familiar with the knock.
Han Jianxin said that the old man Gu was dignified and the second auxiliary minister of the Great Wei Dynasty was too picky, and he was old enough to have a son, and his son Kaimeng only spent a lot of money to invite a gentleman back to study?
Han Jian was thinking about it when Gu Weipan's voice came from the door, as if he was reprimanding: "...... How can you just let people in? ”
Immediately followed by Gu Weipan's angry figure walking into the courtyard, when he saw that it was Han Jian, Gu Weipan was also slightly surprised, at this time, Han Jian took a long time to finish the last sip of tea, and then got up leisurely and looked at each other with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Gu Weipan glared at Han Jian angrily and asked.
When the woman saw that something was not right, and saw that her son was peeking out of the door, she hurried to the door of the house to drive the boy in, and she herself went into the house.
At this time, it is difficult for ordinary women to appear on the stage even if they are full wives, not to mention the non-famous outer house, where women are very knowledgeable, and they know that when a man speaks, she is also suspected of not abiding by women's morals.
Han Jian smiled: "Huh? Didn't Chief Gu just ask me to go to the wild monk to come up with the detailed rules? Now that the details are listed, I thought that Chief Gu was in a hurry, so I personally came over to deliver it, and Chief Gu didn't seem to welcome it. ”
Gu Weipan's old face was flushed, and everyone knew that he was raising women outside and did not return home all the year round, which led to laughter. Gu Wei Pan was born in Confucianism, attaches great importance to etiquette, and the most taboo thing on weekdays is also this matter. Therefore, even relatives and friends did not dare to mention it in front of him, and he would never invite anyone to this small courtyard. And today, it was the young man in front of him who had ruined the long-standing tranquility of this small courtyard, which made him angry.
Gu Weipan thought to himself: "Could it be that Cui Mingli is looking for this kid to sincerely save my face?" ”
Han Jian's face didn't seem to notice Gu Weipan's disgust for him, and he still had a kind smile, which made Gu Weipan have nothing to do. Gu Weipan also knew that he was asking for help now, and if this happened, he might not even be able to get the detailed rules for building the tower. Han Jian also grasped his thoughts, that is, he smiled cheekily in front of Gu Weipan.
Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.
"Where's the fine print?" Gu Weipan asked with anger in his endure.
Han Jian also knew that pushing this old man too quickly might cause a reaction, so he took out a folded book fold from his arms and handed it to Gu Weipan, Gu Weipan took the detailed rules in his hand, and immediately flipped through them to verify the authenticity.
"Chief Gu, it's getting late today, and I'm going to hurry back to my house in the future, so I won't bother." Han Jian's words meant to say goodbye.
"No." Gu Wei Pan said.
"I don't have to work far away, but there is something I want to remind you of when I leave, Chief Gu has not forgotten what he promised...... Temporal ...... Naturally, it can't be delayed for ......"
Gu Weipan glanced at the door of the house first, and was a little relieved to see that the woman didn't listen, but he was still very impatient and said: "The old man is true to his word, and he will do it after the dynasty disperses tomorrow." ”
"Oh, then I'm relieved." Han Jian bowed goodbye and walked straight out of the courtyard gate.
When he left the hospital, the smile on Han Jian's face naturally faded, and pretending to laugh in front of people made him very unhappy. Zhang Xingdao on the side: "Young boy, it's not too early, it's time to go back." ”
"There's no hurry." Han Jian said, "Come with me again." ”
Zhang Xing bowed down to receive the order, and didn't ask where to go. When he arrived at the place, he knew that it was Gu Weipan's mansion, and there was a big "Gu Mansion" plaque hanging on the door of the mansion.
Gu Weipan's main house is located in the wide street where the official government courtyard gathers, the mansion gate is magnificent, and there are at least six or seven courtyards in the high-walled compound. Han Jian expected that Gu Weipan was not the kind of person who pursued material enjoyment, he stayed in that small courtyard, on the one hand, he had affection for the women outside, and on the other hand, he had no attachment to this family.
"Young boy, this time ......" Zhang Xing didn't understand why Han Jian had to run between Gu Weipan's outer house and the main house, he only knew that he couldn't let Han Jian take the liberty to disturb others again.
"It's okay, you stand on one side, I'll knock on the door." Han Jian said that he had already gone up and knocked on the door.
This time, it was not the hostess in the house who opened the door, nor the young lady of the Gu family, Gu Xin'er, but an old servant in her fifties and sixties. The old servant looked at Han Jian, who was dressed in brocade, and said in a daze, "Childe......"
"I'm looking for Miss Gu when I come down, and I have something to talk about." Han Jian arched his hand.
"Miss?" The old servant thought about it, his own young lady was practicing in the Shangqing Palace on weekdays, and it was rare to go back to Luoyang City, and it was estimated that some wild bees and butterflies took the opportunity to get closer.
"My young lady is out and hasn't come back yet. Childe, please come back. The old servant said that he was going to close the door and drive away the guests.
Han Jian was a little annoyed at the moment, and from this he could see the difference between Old Man Gu's main house and his outer house.
One is a quiet and elegant courtyard with no rules, and when you get home, you can talk and laugh with your wife and son quietly, and even play with potted plants in the yard to drink tea. However, the rules on the side of the main house are strict, and the large number of people in the house is not enough for him to worry about.
Han Jian was about to break in when he suddenly heard a woman's voice in the door: "Lin Bo, who is outside?" ”
As he spoke, his voice approached the door. As soon as Han Jian heard it, he knew that it was Gu Xin'er.
"Oh, it's fine. Just a ...... asking for directions."
Saying that the old servant was about to close the door, Han Jian held the door with a sword and shouted, "Who is asking for directions?" ”
Gu Xin'er walked to the door, saw that it was Han Jian, and said with a smile on her face: "Your Highness? ”
The old servant's face was stunned, as if he sensed that the other party was not simple, and he really knew their young lady.
"Lin Bo, you go to do your business first, I have something to say to the guest." Gu Xin'er seemed to be afraid that her mother would know what he had agreed with Han Jian, so she would go out to talk to Han Jian.
"Yes, Miss." The old servant glanced at Han Jian and retreated abruptly.
