Chapter 124: Don't Beat My Daughter's Idea
Gu Xin'er kept looking at the woman, until the woman retreated into the house to make tea, Gu Xin'er looked sideways at Han Jian and asked, "Is it her?" ”
"Hmm." Han Jian nodded.
Gu Xin'er received a positive answer, and her expression was relieved, after all, the woman in front of her was just an ordinary woman, with no dazzling appearance and no prominent background. Gu Xin'er thought to herself: "Since my father is with her, maybe he just wants to live a dull life. ”
Gu Xin'er was in a trance, and Han Jian didn't ask much, since Gu Xin'er didn't sit down, he didn't sit either, so he just stood in the small courtyard and looked around.
The courtyard is greener than the last time he came, and there is basically no change in other than that, but the potted plants have been pruned, which shows that even if Gu Weipan cares about these potted plants very much, even if he is busy with business, he will take care of them.
"Xin'er, people have seen it, we better not stay here for a long time." Han Jian was a little embarrassed, "If your father comes back, it will be a little embarrassing......"
"Hmm." Gu Xin'er's wish came true, and she felt that it was almost time to leave.
At this time, the little boy who had just entered the house hid by the door and peeked again, the boy's eyes were big, although he was afraid of life, but he saw Han Jian last time, Han Jian was also friendly to him, this time the stranger was just a sister who looked very quiet, and he was not so afraid of life.
"Is he?" Gu Xin'er noticed this boy when she came, but at that time, she was so focused on seeing the woman whose father was away that she didn't pay much attention to it, but now that she sees it, she can't help but think about it.
"He's ...... Sister-in-law Xue's son, named Xiaowen, is your younger brother ......"
Han Jian noticed the change in Gu Xin'er's expression when he said this, he wasn't sure if Gu Xin'er would accept such a half-brother. In ancient times. It was also common for men to have three wives and four concubines, especially among the elite. Half-siblings are common, and it is not reasonable to say that it will affect the love of the family. But Han Jian also knew. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the situation of the Gu family is very special.
"Oh." Gu Xin'er finally just answered, her eyes turned to the little boy, and she didn't take her eyes off for a long time.
The little boy seemed to be a little frightened when Gu Xin'er looked at him like this, and turned around and fled back to the house. By this time the woman had come out with tea herself.
"Madam, since Chief Gu hasn't come back yet, let's say goodbye first and come back to visit." Han Jian said.
"Han Gongzi ......" The woman was a little strange. She had already learned from Gu Weipan last time that the person who came was the King of the East, although Gu Weipan looked like a menacing look towards Han Jian, but the woman also had some insight, knowing that the identity of the King of the East was not ordinary, and her own master was sometimes stubborn and might offend people, but she couldn't help but be polite. This time, the East King came, and she was about to leave without even sitting, and she thought to herself that maybe the East King had something important to do, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.
"The folk woman sends off Han Gongzi ......"
The women didn't dare to ask. personally sent Han Jian out, Han Jian and Gu Xin'er came out together, Han Jian saluted again, and Gu Xin'er also bowed. Until they left the street where the courtyard was located. She couldn't see the entrance of the small courtyard anymore, and Gu Xin'er's expression was still a little dazed.
"Xin'er, are you alright?" Han Jian asked with concern.
"Oh. It's okay......" Gu Xin'er's face showed shame, and she bowed slightly. "Young Master Xie brought Xin'er over, and Xin'er saw someone. Even if you have no regrets, you can go back to the Shangqing Palace with peace of mind......"
Speaking of going back to the Shangqing Palace, Gu Xin'er looked a little lonely. Gu Xin'er went back to Luoyang this time, after all, it was only a short one-month vacation, and seeing that the vacation was coming to an end, she also had to go back.
But when Han Jian heard that Gu Xin'er was leaving, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate, Gu Xin'er left again, that would be a year, wouldn't his plan to pursue beauty be in vain?
"Xin'er, are you going back to the Shangqing Palace?" Han Jian asked.
"Hmm." Gu Xin'er nodded, and Han Jian did not stop, but her head kept down and did not look at Han Jian.
Han Jian wanted to keep it, but he didn't know how to say some things, even if he was interested in Gu Xin'er, he didn't know what Gu Xin'er meant. Even Gu Xin'er has a good impression of him, but after all, this is not the era of free love between men and women, marriage depends on the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, even if he can pass the pass of more than a dozen aunts, and Gu Xin'er's parents have to pass the pass.
"Xin'er, can you not go?" Han Jian thought about the wording and asked hesitantly.
"Huh?" Gu Xin'er was slightly surprised, looked at Han Jian sideways, and said with a slightly wry smile, "Xin'er has been back to Luoyang for some time, and she has begun to have some attachment to worldly things, but Xin'er is a disciple of the Shangqing Palace after all, and for no reason, she must go back to practice." ”
Han Jian said: "Is it a reason to marry?" ”
"Huh?" Gu Xin'er was a little frightened, and stood on the spot for a while.
When it came to this, Han Jian no longer had to hide it, and said bluntly: "Xin'er, in fact, some words have been hidden in my heart for a long time. As soon as I saw it from the dojo, I admired Xin'er, and I didn't know how to speak, if Xin'er didn't object, I wanted to go to the house to propose. I don't know what you think, Xin'er? ”
Gu Xin'er's cheeks were flushed, her face was ashamed, she didn't even say a word, she hid her face with one hand, and fled with her skirt in the other.
Han Jian stood in place, and could only look at Gu Xin'er's back in a daze.
"It's broken." Han Jian said to himself, "What do you say, if you scare the girl's family away, even if it doesn't work, you will definitely not even have friends in the future." ”
Han Jian knows that if he does something too abrupt and beautiful in these years, let alone be friends in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to even meet each other.
He couldn't help but regret it a little, he knew that if he didn't say what he said just now, even if Gu Xin'er returned to the Shangqing Palace, he could find a reason to go in and practice for three or five months, find an opportunity to get close to her, or wait for Gu Xin'er to come back next year and continue to develop a relationship. Anyway, the inner courtyard of the Shangqing Palace is full of female disciples, and they are not afraid of someone taking the lead. If you bring it up before the time is ripe, it will only make Gu Xin'er avoid him in the future, and the possibility of further development will be very low.
Han Jian returned to the Dongwangfu Courtyard with great remorse, and Sima took the account book back to show him, but he also had no intention of turning it over. Han Jian had already made up his mind about the case, and he had only one thought in his heart now, that is, how to save his relationship with Gu Xin'er.
By supper he couldn't eat, and he couldn't sleep at night. This kind of anxious psychology made him want to beat people up, until he got up early the next day and went to Qingxu Yashe to sit alone, he was thinking about whether to go to Gu Mansion to apologize to Gu Xin'er.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to go, although it was likely to be closed, but if he didn't go, the relationship would be completely deadlocked.
Han Jian was about to leave, but he didn't expect someone to come first, but it was Gu Weipan, who was a little aggressive and wanted to kill. Old man Gu rushed to Qingxu Yasha with a fierce attitude, and as soon as he came, he asked Han Jian if he was upstairs, and after getting Lin Xiaoshu's affirmative answer, he came upstairs directly.
"Chief Gu, you are ......"
Because there is no precedent for opening a morning market in Qingxu Yashe for the time being, there is only Han Jian on the second floor of the huge Qingxu Yashe at this time.
"You...... You ......" Gu Weipan came upstairs and saw Han Jian, but he just pointed at Han Jian with an angry look, and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Chief Gu is not in a hurry, take a breath first, why don't you have a cup of tea first and speak slowly?"
Han Jian thought about it, or something went wrong with the construction of the tower, because the picture was just his game after all. Moreover, it is most likely that Gu Weipan knew about his abrupt words to Gu Xin'er yesterday and came to seek justice for his daughter's grievances.
"Slowly?" Gu Weipan said angrily, "You kid, you actually dare to beat my daughter's idea, you ...... You ......"
Sure enough, it's the latter.
Han Jian sighed a little in his heart, sighed and explained: "My Fair Lady and Gentleman, Chief Gu, even if I said something that shouldn't be said yesterday, you can't afford to come here early in the morning to make noise?" What kind of system do you become as an official of the imperial court? ”
Han Jian said, muttering in his heart, Old Man Gu has not taken care of his family all the year round, why did he get the news so quickly after what happened yesterday?
was deducted by Han Jian with a big hat that "lost the official system of the imperial court", Gu Weipan calmed down a little, he gasped for a while, and finally his breath seemed to be smoother, and said, "Tell me, what do you mean?" ”
Han Jian also knew that Gu Weipan had always looked at him unpleasantly, so it was clear that he was right.
Han Jian arched his hand and said: "Chief Gu, I admire Ling Qianjin's talent and character, and I want to seek the permission of Chief Gu and marry Qin Jin." If Chief Gu felt that it was too hasty to bring it up like this, it would be okay to ask for a matchmaker in ice language. ”
"Don't you think about it!" Gu Weipan directly choked Han Jian.
Han Jian knew that he would get this answer, and he was already ready to respond to Gu Weipan's cold words.
"What does Chief Gu think?" Han Jian frowned and asked rhetorically.
"In short, this family business, the old man is not allowed." Gu Wei Pan said.
Han Jian said: "Then I have to ask the reason, I introduced the king of the east and begged Ling Yuan, did I insult her?" Although you are the chief minister of the Upper Hearing Department, you can't be set an example by your courtiers, and you don't care about your family, how can you ever care about your wife and daughter? Now I ask Ling Yuan for marriage, and you come to teach me like a father...... Chief Gu, why do you bother? ”
Han Jian originally wanted to take advantage of the fire to scold Gu Weipan, but halfway through his words, he felt that doing so would only completely block his way to ask for marriage. So he changed his tune halfway and didn't continue to anger the old bull in front of him. However, this also made Gu Weipan angry enough.
Gu Weipan's face turned red, Han Jian could already see that he was angry, but Gu Weipan had a set of things to endure, at least he didn't have a seizure on the spot.
Gu Weipan calmed down for a while, his tone was relatively calm, and said: "The old man shouldn't be in charge of your young people's affairs, not to mention that Xin'er is already in time, she is an adult, and she does things in a measured manner." Although the old man is ashamed of her, he can also make decisions for her in marriage, and the old man will not agree to this marriage for the time being. ”
Han Jian pondered for a moment, "I won't agree for the time being", what kind of statement is this?
Gu Weipan continued: "However, Xin'er has no intention of returning to the Shangqing Palace, and the old man will not force her, and will let her stay in Luoyang City temporarily." Anyway, you kid don't beat my daughter's idea! ”
After saying that, Gu Weipan snorted coldly and walked away, making Han Jian very depressed.
However, Gu Weipan's arrival also made him have a lot of questions, what happened after he and Gu Xin'er separated yesterday? (To be continued......)
