Chapter 64: The Angry Bull
Gu Xin'er's purpose in going to Qingxu Yashe was to make a special trip to find Han Jian, and when she saw Han Jian, Gu Xin'er saluted, and her expression was grateful.
"Shouldn't Miss Gu be waiting at home for Ling Zun to return home at this time?" Han Jian asked.
Gu Xin'er said: "My father came back at noon, but because he was busy with business, he left in a hurry after lunch. ”
Han Jianxin said that Gu Weipan really coped with the matter, saying that he went home to see his wife and children, but he only had one lunch. Why is it that the listening office is really so busy?
Han Jian was about to say a few words of comfort, but saw that Gu Xin'er's face seemed to be very satisfied, she knew that she couldn't be too strict with her father's homecoming, and now Gu Weipan's ability to go home was already a breakthrough.
"Your Highness, my mother bought some clothes for my father, and I didn't have time to give them to my father, so I gave them to my little daughter." Gu Xin'er's expression was a little twisted and said, "I don't know if His Highness can ......."
Han Jian understood that Gu Xin'er was instructed by her mother to go to the listening office to send clothes to Gu Weipan, but she was afraid that she would be turned away like last time, so she asked him for help.
Han Jian nodded and said, "Please Miss Gu move." ”
Originally, Gu Xin'er came by carriage, and it was faster to take the carriage, but after all, it was not appropriate to share a carriage with Han Jian, so she took off the burden of clothes from the carriage, held it in her arms, and walked with Han Jian all the way, walking in the direction of the general office of the upper listening office. Han Jian also had a rare opportunity to communicate more with Gu Xin'er.
Han Jian and Gu Xin'er got acquainted with Pan Fuzi's public lecture, and Gu Xin'er also mentioned this matter on the road. Of course, Han Jian also knew that their first meeting was still a little unpleasant, and he was also "taught" by Gu Xin'er. Gu Xin'er was a little apologetic about this.
"Your Highness likes piano music, and the little girl is willing to go with His Highness to listen to Pan Fuzi's piano meeting......" Gu Xin'er suddenly looked at Han Jian and said.
Han Jian blinked, this is a ...... Appointment? It wasn't that he invited Gu Xin'er, but Gu Xin'er took the initiative, Han Jian didn't think it was good, and he should have taken the initiative in this matter.
After thinking about it again, Pan Fuzi's old horseman didn't leave Luoyang City and return to Hedong after making a big show with him at the palace banquet?
"Pan Fuzi hasn't left Luoyang City yet?" Han Jian is naturally happy to go on a date somewhere else, but if he goes to Pan Fuzi's piano club with Gu Xin'er...... It's good if there is no mess, so let's talk about dating.
If you don't agree with each other and make something happen, your image will be ruined.
"Hmm." Gu Xin'er nodded and said, "Pan Fuzi had an argument with someone at the piano meeting, which made him lose face, and it is rumored that even the emperor knows about it. Recently, he has held frequent piano meetings in Luoyang City, and it seems that he wants to save some face...... I don't know whether the rumors are true or not, but because of this, Luoyang City's piano masters can appreciate more of his piano skills. Your Highness hasn't heard about this? ”
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. I'll take it another when I have time. Han Jian did not admit that he did what made Pan Fuzi "lose face".
Gu Xin'er's face was slightly disappointed, and she suddenly said a little shyly: "Your Highness must be very busy, and my mother invited His Highness to be a guest at home with a little girl, in order to thank His Highness for helping his father in the matter of his family......"
"Who said I don't have time, but I actually ......have a lot of time," Han Jian said.
"Then when will it be convenient for His Highness to pass?"
"This ......" Han Jian thought for a while, this was not Gu Xin'er who wanted to invite her to the house, but her mother, and the purpose was naturally not to marry her daughter to him, but to ask him to help make Gu Weipan change her mind. Han Jian thought about it, although he was fine today, he didn't have time to go through Lin Xiaoyun's case the next day.
"How's it going to be the day after tomorrow?" Han Jian said.
"Hmm." Gu Xin'er nodded and said, "The little woman went back to inform Mother Yu, and asked the family to prepare by the way." ”
As they spoke, the two arrived at the door of the general office of the listening office on the street of East Road. Seeing Han Jian, the doorman naturally wouldn't stop him, and even Gu Xin'er could enter without having to pass through. Gu Xin'er entered the door, still having some doubts in her heart, although her father had returned home at noon and had a meal at home, but he didn't say a word at the dinner table, which made her feel that her father did not intend to go home, and was probably "forced".
Walking to the courtyard, Gu Xin'er suddenly stopped walking forward, and said, "Your Highness, can you transfer the burden to my father......
As soon as Han Jian saw Gu Xin'er's expression, he knew that she was afraid. He also understands that the relationship between Old Man Gu and Gu Xin'er's mother may be irreparable, but the things of the previous generation should not affect the next generation, no matter what Old Man Gu says, he is also Gu Xin'er's father, and Gu Xin'er herself is not wrong in this matter.
"What needs to be faced is still to be faced." Han Jian encouraged.
"Hmm." Gu Xin'er finally nodded and walked towards the meditation hall with Han Jian.
Before he reached the door of the meditation hall, he heard a quarrel in the house. One is Gu Weipan, and the other Han Jian doesn't need to guess to know that it is Cui Mingli, and in the entire Shangting Office, only Old Man Cui dared to quarrel with the chief minister Gu Weipan.
Han Jian came to the door and listened, and it was related to the construction of the tower. Gu Weipan was deducted by Cui Mingli with the big hat of "misleading the country and the people", and the two were arguing meaninglessly about whether to build a tower.
The reason why it is meaningless is because the matter of building the tower has been decided by the imperial court, and it is not that they can change it by convincing each other after a quarrel.
"Inside...... What happened? Gu Xin'er heard that her father seemed to be arguing fiercely with someone, and looked at Han Jian who walked back and asked.
Han Jian's face showed a familiar look and said: "Oh, they are quarreling, one is your father, and the other is the erudite Confucian Cui Mingli, they are often like this, don't care." Wait a little while and we'll go in after they're done. ”
Gu Xin'er was a little surprised: "Cui Boru...... The little girl has heard of him before, and he is one of the best in my dynasty...... Why did my father quarrel with him? ”
"I don't know why, they quarrel every chance they get. The two of them used to be Gongsheng, classmates and colleagues, so they may be a little inconspicuous to each other. Han Jian didn't know what the two old guys had to do, but he knew that these two old men would never let go of the opportunity to quarrel.
Gu Xin'er didn't say anything more, and stood at the door of the meditation hall with Han Jian, whether it was the minister who came out of the meditation hall or the minister who went in, they were all afraid that they couldn't dodge. The noise inside stopped after the tea work, and Cui Mingli came out violently, with a stubborn and angry look of righteousness, as if he was going straight to the palace to find the empress's death.
But Han Jian knew that Old Man Cui would go out to find a teahouse to drink a bowl of tea after a quarrel, and go home to eat and sleep after listening to Duan Commentary.
Seeing Cui Mingli leave, Han Jian greeted Gu Xin'er and said, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
"Hmm." When Gu Xin'er arrived at the important place of the yamen such as the listening office, she still seemed a little restrained, and followed Han Fitness into the meditation hall.
In the meditation hall, Gu Weipan had just had a big quarrel with Cui Mingli, panting like an old bull, when he heard footsteps at the door, Gu Weipan looked up and saw Han Jian, and he was out of breath. The reason why he is so angry today is that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and secondly, he was forced by Han Jian and the emperor to go home and see the tigress at home.
Although the tigress has put away the female power of the year, and today he is very attentive in serving tea and water, but he still can't change his prejudice against the tigress, and he can't forget how he was bullied by the tigress at home, and he was suppressed by his father-in-law in the court.
"Good afternoon to Chief Gu." Han Jian greeted with a smile.
Gu Weipan said angrily: "You...... Why don't you go on an errand and come here? ”
The words were almost shouted, and the ministers next to them who pretended to be doing things all looked up at Gu Weipan, although the East King was nominally an ordinary official in the Shangting Office, but his status remained the same, and they were all thinking about how unknown this Chief Gu was.
"Why is Chief Gu so angry?" Han Jian smiled and let go, causing Gu Xin'er to show up, "I brought Chief Gu's family over next......
When Gu Weipan saw Gu Xin'er, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was very impatient. Gu Xin'er timidly stepped forward and said her mother's explanation, Gu Weipan waved her hand and said, "Put it down, go back first." ”
"Yes, father." Gu Xin'er lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she turned around and walked towards the door.
Han Jian glanced at it, this old man Gu still didn't talk about the relationship between father and daughter, shook his head helplessly, and went out with Gu Xin'er.
At the door of the meditation hall, Gu Xin'er secretly wiped her tears, and Han Jian comforted on the side: "Miss Gu, don't take it to heart, in fact, Chief Gu is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. ”
"Hmm." Gu Xin'er smiled reluctantly at Han Jian.
The two walked to the door together, and when they were about to reach the door, Gu Xin'er said, "Father...... It doesn't seem to be very kind to His Highness......"
Han Jian grinned and said, "Of course, your father has always regarded me as an old man Cui, how can he give me a good face?" ”
"Old man Cui?" Gu Xin'er was a little puzzled.
"It's Cui Boru. Speaking of which, Cui Boru and I have some relatives, so your father always picks his nose at me. ”
