Han Qi's self-confidence was damaged, and he didn't even come out to eat dinner.

Second Mrs. Han was happy in her heart, and deliberately made a supper to comfort her son.

"Azie, let's get some soup." Second Mrs. Han carefully took out the old duck soup and skimmed off the oil flowers on it, "Mother has been stewing since morning, it's fragrant!" ”

Han Qi glanced at it, and his breath was weak: "I have no appetite." ”

Second Mrs. Han patiently comforted: "Don't worry, marriage is such a thing, pay attention to your love and my wishes." If you don't agree, can they still force them to make a feud? It's really not good, for my mother to find your uncle. ”

Han Qi shook his head: "No, mother, this marriage will definitely not work, they are fine, I don't have a chance." ”

"Is your cousin willing to marry him?" Second Lady Han nodded, "Isn't this enough!" According to me, your grandmother and them just manage too much, and no matter how bad the reputation of the fourth son of the building is, he is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven. How many people are willing to give up such an opportunity? I don't want to cling to the powerful, so I think others don't want to cling either? ”

This didn't sound pleasant, Han Qi frowned: "Mother, what are you talking about?" My cousin wasn't like that. ”

Second Mrs. Han was unhappy: "Didn't you say it?" Your cousin herself willing. ”

"Who said that if you want to marry, you are clinging to the powerful? The fourth floor is not bad, which one of the character is not better than me? Fortunately, he has a bad reputation, otherwise he wouldn't have been robbed of his head......"

Speaking of which, Han Qi couldn't help but feel sour.

Although this family affair was not asked for by himself, it was really not a taste to watch himself being compared to others.

Second Mrs. Han was surprised: "How can you speak for that Lou Si?" ”

Han Qi said in his heart, is he willing to speak for Lou Si? It's not that it's too cruel, he doesn't want to admit it......

"Anyway, mother, don't worry about it, grandmother will understand in a few days."

……

Seeing that there was a problem on Master Han's side, the Han family could only put Chi Yun's matter aside for the time being.

However, they haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and their connections are really not good.

Most of the old friends are not in Beijing, and the feelings of relatives have faded, and they have been running for several days, but they still have nothing.

Finally, Master Han contacted an old friend and invited him to have a drink.

When he was drunk, he told the matter, and the friend said: "Old Han, you also think too highly of me!" In the past few years, I myself have been confused, if I have connections in this area, how can I still be a small principal today? ”

Master Han sighed and nodded: "That's what I said, it's okay if you don't have it, drink and drink." ”

The friend squinted at him and smiled, "Although I don't have any connections, you do!" ”

Master Han was stunned.

But I heard him say, "Aren't you in-law with the Chi family?" ”

Originally, Master Han said: "But my brother-in-law has passed away, Chi Er Chi San, I can't even carry it!" ”

"Who told you about them?" He waved his hand and said, "Your brother-in-law is gone, but your niece is here!" She is now the eldest princess's daughter, as long as she is willing to help you say something, this matter is not easy to solve? ”

Master Han shook his head: "She has a daughter's family, without her parents to take care of her, life is difficult enough." It's hard to please the eldest princess, let's go to the door again, what if we dislike the eldest princess? ”

The man disagreed: "You underestimate her too much!" Tell you, the eldest princess is for her, but even Princess Kang dares to tear it up, and her own daughter is nothing more than that. ”

Princess Kang calculated Chi Yun's affairs, although she sealed her mouth, she could more or less leak out a little wind. Coupled with the bandit incident, a discerning person can naturally see that there is something greasy here.

"Besides, I've heard a little wind lately." He came over very gossipy, "Do you know about Concubine Beixiang's return to Beijing?" I heard that it was for her son who had been expelled from the house. Recently, Concubine Beixiang and the eldest princess have been fighting hotly, and they seem to be intending to kiss. The eldest princess has no children, won't this marriage fall on your niece? ”

When Master Han heard this, his face darkened.

His friend was full of interest and continued: "That fourth son of Lou has been mixing really well in the past few years. In front of His Majesty, he was extremely embarrassed. Not to mention helping you dredge up the relationship, even if you are promoted directly, it is only a matter of one sentence. ”

"That's enough." Master Han couldn't listen to it anymore, and said with a pulled face, "You and I have been friends for a long time, why can you say such things?" Not to mention whether their marriage will be completed or not, how can I ask him for unfilial piety and injustice in this building? ”

The man knew his temper, but he was not angry, but only persuaded bitterly: "Why are you still like a donkey?" Are there any simple people and things in this court? Like you, I thought that he had to flee because he had failed to rob his brother of the king. But as soon as Concubine Beixiang came, she defended him in front of the palace and played the imperial history. I will see that there is something inside. ”

Master Han knew that Concubine Beixiang was coming, but he didn't know about the imperial history, so he was stunned for a moment.

I only heard my friend sigh: "I have seen the ups and downs over the years." What others say is good may not be good, and what others say is bad is not necessarily bad. Thinking about it seriously, this building has not done anything lacking in morality. At the beginning of the Criminal Department, it was also a strange case. With such a bad reputation, it's just that he listened to the meaning of the boss and brought down some people, but he didn't do those things, and others took over. Who is completely clean in this circle? No matter how principled we are, there are some things that we must not turn a blind eye to. ”

Master Han was silent.

After eating and going back, Mrs. Han listened to his long sigh, so she persuaded: "Don't worry, master, we have just returned to Beijing, take your time." ”

Master Han nodded yes.

Although I listened to my friend's words today, my heart was a little shaken. But it is absolutely impossible to ask him to change his mind and ask for help.

On the second day, he went to the ministry to inquire about the news.

"Yo, Old Han, here we go again!" The concierge of the ministry has always been the most lively, and some people come every day, as if they were ordered. When I came, I couldn't see anyone, so I could only sit in the concierge and drink tea, and I drank it for several days, but it was ripe.

Master Han was ready to wait for a day, and smiled at them: "If you want to come and go, it's still interesting to chat with a few people, why don't you just come?" ”

A few people around laughed, bitter and happy.

They all have no way, so they will come to the ministry every day to wait for news.

As soon as Master Han sat down and was ready to drink tea for a day, a little official came over there.

A room full of officials immediately stopped talking and looked at him eagerly.

Who is this going to invite in?

The little official glanced around and asked, "Is the former Lizhou general judge Han Xuan Han here?" ”

Master Han was completely unprepared, and it wasn't until he was pushed that he realized that he was calling himself.

He hurriedly stood up: "So-and-so is here." ”

The little official bowed and said, "Lord Squire, please." ”

When the little official went out, several familiar officials looked at him with hot eyes: "Old Han, when did you get through the door of Lord Shilang?" ”

Master Han looked confused, he didn't know either!
