In the same year, Wen Qianye and Holly got married.
In the same year, Song Minghui recruited Chen Yi as her son-in-law.
In the same year, Song Mingyan was happy.
In the same year, Qi Yan was happy.
In the same year, Song Fanhua gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the baby boy is called Duan Hua, the homonym of Hua Hua, and the baby girl is called Duan Yue, the word harmonic Yue, which means a happy and carefree life, and the names of the two brothers and sisters together are Duan Yuehua, also known as Duan and Hua.
Duan Xiao doesn't like this pair of brothers and sisters, especially his daughter, out of confinement, out of swaddling clothes, she will walk crookedly and never leave her hand, eat, sleep, travel, you have to hold her, leave Song Fanhua aside, every night, seeing Duan Xiao sleeping with her daughter and not sleeping with herself, Song Fanhua is angry.
Duan Xiao occasionally reacted slowly and found that his daughter-in-law was in a bad mood, and he was busy losing his daughter to coax him, but without finishing two sentences, he couldn't help but hold her up and down, and couldn't restrain himself from asking her over and over again.
Song Fanhua scolded him, "I have sperm worms in my head, and I only think about this." ”
Duan Xiao kissed her and said with a smile, "Even if I really have sperm worms in my head, I still depend on you for my life, and without you, they can't get excited." ”
In the same year, Du Wansi entered the palace, but was not named a concubine, but was named a female permanent order, in charge of the palace rituals, temples, and sacrifices, and gave the house to be adjacent to Han Liao.
Han Liao finished dinner and went to the door next door again.
The family members of Changling Mansion were accustomed to his behavior of jumping into the door every day, and when they saw him coming, they politely shouted and let him in.
Du Wansi took the official title and received Fenglu, no longer the idle lady who used to live in the Du Mansion in Qiongzhou, she had to deal with official business every day, go to court every day, and go to the palace every day to preside over the music meeting, yes, she was very busy every day.
After dinner in the evening, she will stay in the study for a while, and when there are guests coming, she will meet them.
There are still a lot of guests, in addition to Han Liao, who must come to the door every day, Yao Yanjiang will come and jump to the door from time to time, Qin Duxue will come and jump to the door from time to time, and whenever Yun Sisong studies in the palace for three months, Yun Su will also take Yun Sisong to her for a meal, Song Shixian asked for leave after Qi Yan became pregnant, did not go to Beijing to return to Beijing, and waited for Qi Yan to give birth to a son, after the confinement, Song Shixian took her to Beijing to resume work, and the Qiongzhou business was completely handed over to Song Minghui to take care of, yes, occasionally, Song Shixian would also take Qi Yan to sit on the door.
In addition to these people, Du Zuoyun and Mrs. Du also followed them to Beijing and entered the Changling Mansion.
There is no way, they are just this one daughter, and they have to accompany their daughter for the rest of their lives, and their daughter is not married yet, and now they are officials, so they have to watch from the side.
If their daughters get married one day, they can also play wherever they want, like Song Yang and Fang Yiyao.
But now, I can't go.
Du Zuoyun and Mrs. Du usually don't bother Du Wansi, so they help her manage the mansion and let her save some worry.
After Han Liao came, he greeted his second elder as usual, and the second elder knew who he was coming to, so he didn't leave him, and told Du Wansi that the two went out together after the study.
The predecessor of Cloud City was Songmoling, and outside Songmoling, there is a second Kyoto, which is the old capital.
Whether it is Songmoling or the old capital, for Du Zuoyun and Mrs. Du, there are endless scenery, so once these two elders are idle, they will take a carriage to these two cities to enjoy.
It was inconvenient to travel far at night, so they went around Cloud City.
Han Liao went to the study, coincidentally, Yao Yanjiang also came today, chatting with Du Wansi in the study, after Han Liao knocked on the door and entered, Suyin immediately prepared tea for him.
Yao Yanjiang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Suyin, you can't be so attentive because of Han Liao's current official functions, why don't you be so quick with my hands and feet?" ”
Su Yin smiled, "I didn't treat Young Master Yao as an outsider, so naturally I would be a little neglectful." ”
The corners of Yao Yanjiang's mouth twitched and smiled.
Han Liao raised his eyebrows lightly and stared at Su Yin, "You mean, you treat me as an outsider?" ”
Su Yin coughed lightly, looked down at him, and hurriedly put down the teacup and left.
Han Liao glared at her, and after a while, he looked at Du Wansi sitting behind the bookcase, feeling sullen in his heart, every time she came, she didn't pay attention to him, what kind of trouble was this?
Han Liao sat sullenly, Yao Yanjiang said that he shouldn't say anything, and in the end, Yao Yanjiang ignored him, and sat for a while before leaving.
Waiting for the door to close, Han Liao got up, walked towards Du Wansi, and stretched out his hand to block the official document in front of her.
Du Wansi raised her face to look at him, "What are you doing?" ”
Han Liao said, "What time is this, still reading official documents, washing and sleeping." ”
Du Wansi slapped his hand away, continued to look down at the official document, and said as he read, "I'm not sleepy yet, if you're sleepy, go back to your Changshi Mansion, don't be an eyesore here." ”
Han Liao said, "I'm not sleepy. ”
Du Wansi should not be him.
Han Liao reached out this time, directly picked up the official document in front of her, closed it, threw it aside, grabbed her hand holding the pen shaft, took out the pen, threw it aside, and then grabbed her hand and lifted her out of the chair.
Du Wansi was furious, "What do you do, let go, let go!" ”
She struggled as she spoke, but the man in front of her had a very strong hand, and the whole person was very imposing, holding her with one hand, seeing that she was restless, he directly reached over with the other hand, hugged her waist, and held her in his arms, seeing that she was still struggling vigorously, Han Liao smiled in a low voice, "Wan Si, do you know, I would like you to keep twisting and rubbing in my arms like this." ”
After that, seeing that the anger on Du Wansi's face changed rapidly, sometimes red and sometimes blue and sometimes purple, he said again, "I just want to take you out for a walk, but if you are more willing to rub me like this, I ......"
Before the word Feng Xiang was spoken, Du Wansi opened her mouth with a red face, "Who wants to rub you, you let me go!" ”
Han Liao said, "Do you want to go out for a walk with me?" ”
Du Wansi wanted to say no, but when she looked up and saw the man's serious face and the strong eyes, she glanced to the side again at Suyin, who didn't know when she ran away, and finally compromised.
Good men don't suffer immediate losses, and good women don't fight with bullies.
Du Wansi took a deep breath and asked in a very bad tone, "Where are you going?" ”
Han Liao smiled, "Go to Fenglindu." ”
Fenglindu is in the middle of the outer city and the inner city, Songmoling was just a city before, later Yunsu was rebuilt into the capital and changed the surrounding desert to the Huanshui Lake, and built a second defense city outside this lake, between this defense city and the city gate into the city, it is full of scenic spots, there are Huanshui Lake Pavilion, the painting boat on the dam, Fenglindu, the word to return to the bridge, the night market, and the song building.
Han Liao was reluctant to take Du Wansi to the lively place, so he took her to a quieter place.
Pulled Du Guansi out of the study, he called Su Yin and asked her to give Du Guansi a cloak in the room, it is autumn, the weather is not very cold, but the temperature drops down a lot at night, Han Liao is worried that Du Wansi will be cold after staying outside for a long time.
Suyin obediently went to the bedroom to give Du Wansi a cloak.
Du Wansi has two maidservants by her side, since she lived in Changling Mansion, Suyin often serves by her side, Jiang Xiaodai doesn't follow closely, she has become a housekeeper, and she often has to take care of the outside, so she rarely sees it.
Su Yin took the cloak, and Han Liao took Du Wansi out of the door.
The two of them did not take the carriage, but walked away.
On the way, I met a lot of familiar faces, Han Liao and Du Guansi are now Beijing officials, Du Guansi's official position is lower than Han Liao, but he also has to go to the court every day, after Yunsu became the emperor, the court officials are no longer divided into men and women, but anyone who is capable, talented, and can contribute to the Jiangshan Sheji, regardless of gender, can enter the court as officials.
The original July Wentao Shuce will continue to follow, but gender is no longer limited to men, women can also participate, as long as you think you can do it, the court will dare to use it.
Therefore, in addition to Du Wansi, a female official in the court, there are other female officials, but they are all under the jurisdiction of the Standing Order, and there may be female officials in other positions in the future, but now, there are really none.
When you become an official, it is impossible not to have a wide range of contacts, and as soon as you go out, you will meet acquaintances.
The first is Zhang Shiyi.
Zhang Shiyi came to Hengzhou with Han Liao, and supported Duan Xiao in the early days, Duan Xiao is now accompanied by his wife, children, wife and daughter to be chic and happy, but they can't be chic and happy, at least, if Han Liao doesn't marry Du Wansi into the door for a day, he can't be happy for a day.
Zhang Shiyi supported Duan Xiao, but when Yunsu issued a document to summon him to Beijing, he came without hesitation, his future is still very long, he wants to serve the country, and he used to support Duan Xiao because he knew that if Duan Xiao was called the emperor, he would be the emperor of the ages, and he was the one who wanted to chase the emperor, so he followed Duan Xiao all the way, and now, Duan Xiao left all the mundane things and concentrated on accompanying his children and wife, he still treats him as a brother, but he is only a brother, and there will be no more monarchs and ministers.
Zhang Shiyi went shopping alone, followed by a small servant.
Xiao Wu is a person in the black army, called Wang Ying.
Wang Ying said hello to Han Liao, and then said hello to Du Wansi, the two of them nodded in response, Zhang Shiyi was going to find Song Shixian, and Han Liao was going to Fenglindu, the two went different ways, and they separated after a short walk.
Even if he is on the same road, Han Liao will not let Zhang Shiyi follow as a light bulb.
Of course, although Zhang Shiyi doesn't like to talk much, his eyes are shrewd, and with Du Wansi standing next to Han Liao, he won't rush to be a light bulb.
After separating, Han Liao took Du Wansi and left.
On the way, I also met some other officials and acquaintances, who greeted each other and then separated from each other, each doing their own thing, and it seemed that it was not surprising that single men and women like Han Liao and Du Wansi went out shopping together at night.
Of course, this is also the result of Han Liao's daily pulling.
Han Liao just wants everyone in Cloud City to know that he likes Du Wansi, and no one is allowed to fight Du Wansi's idea except him.
Han Liao and Du Wansi walked side by side, not holding hands.
Su Yin took the cloak and followed from a distance.
Cloud City is a new city, the lanterns hanging on each street are brand new, and they are not ordinary red lanterns, they are palace lanterns with great artistic value, hexagonal frames, falling big red spikes, all the way charming, adding a lot of festive colors to the lively night market.
When I came to Fenglindu, there were a lot of people, but there were fewer than other places.
Outside, Han Liao gave Du Wansi enough respect, didn't touch her, didn't hold her, and looked at the scenery outside not far from her.
In fact, with Du Wansi by his side, he sees that any scenery is beautiful.
The maple leaves of Fenglindu have not turned red yet, and all they appreciate is a piece of blue.
Han Liao took Du Wansi out, firstly, to stay alone with her for a while, and secondly, to let her relax and relax, from the third quarter of Shen Shi after dinner to the second quarter of the cold breeze, for nearly three moments, Han Liao was accompanying Du Wansi to see the scenery, chatting, not talking about emotional matters, only talking about official matters.
And when he finished enjoying the scenery and sent Du Wansi back to his home, Han Liao looked at the brilliant lights of the entire street in front of him, and thought of the scene where Duan Xiao carried Song Fanhua around the city, he silently stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Wansi's hand suddenly.
Du Wansi was stunned, because she was about to arrive in front of the house, and because the weather was getting darker, there was no one here, and no one could see Han Liao's sudden movements, so Du Wansi shook her hand without scruples, and had to shake off Han Liao.
But Han Liao didn't let go, pressed her shoulder, looked into her eyes, and asked softly, "How can you marry me?" ”
Du Wansi said slowly, "I won't marry you." ”
Han Liao squinted, "Then who do you want to marry?" ”
Du Wansi said, "I don't marry anyone." ”
Han Liao twisted her eyebrows, her eyes pressed heavily on her body, like a dull mountain, Du Wansi was out of breath, she didn't dare to look at his eyes, so sad eyes, she turned her face away.
Han Liao has met countless beauties in his life, the early Liu Xian Xian, the later Song Fanhua, the current Du Guansi, and now he is an official, and the major celebrities he has seen, he used to feel that Liu Xian Xian was hypocritical, felt that Song Fanhua was rude and rude, and felt that Du Wansi was the goddess of heaven and earth, in his heart, Du Guansi was an unattainable existence, and later, he was able to climb and climb, he felt that with that day's skin blind date, with his sincere love for those two years, and with his daily door-to-door plea for the next three years, she should always be a little soft-hearted, not to mention that she must marry him if she loses her body, but at least, she shouldn't be so ruthless, because of that one thing, she ignores all his dedication and dedication, and also ignores her good impression of him.
At such a moment, Han Liao suddenly felt that Du Wansi was the same as the man sitting on the throne, in fact, his heart was cold.
Probably Yunsu had seen it a long time ago, so he would rather choose Qin Duxue than Du Wansi.
Even though he didn't love Qin Duxue or Du Wansi, he still chose Qin Duxue.
Maybe Yun Su knew that he liked Du Wansi, and Qin Duxue was the young lady of the Thirteen Iron Horsemen of Yunmen, and it was much more advantageous for him to choose Qin Duxue than Yuan Du Wansi, but Han Liao thought that even if there was no Qin Duxue, without him Han Liao, Yun Su would not choose Du Wansi.
How can two cool people comfort warmth?
Han Liao glanced at Du Wansi deeply, said nothing, let go of her, and left.
Du Wansi looked at his indifferent back and left, her heart stabbed, she took a step forward unconsciously, opened her mouth and wanted to call her, but she stopped at the moment when the words were about to come out, she thought, what is she doing, her purpose is to make him die, so that he will no longer fight her idea from now on, he is gone now, she should be happy, she should relax, but why is she a little painful, a little stuffy?
Du Wan tightened her cloak and watched Han Liao's back disappear from front of her in a daze, and she couldn't see it anymore, she suddenly felt a little cold, and she said to Suyin, "Come and help me." ”
Su Yin walked up to help her, and when she pulled her hand, she found that her hand was cold, Su Yin was shocked, "Miss, are you cold?" ”
"It's a little cold. ”
Su Yin immediately said, "Let's hurry into the house." ”
Du Wansi hummed lightly, didn't look at the door next door, and entered the Changling Mansion.
From that day on, in the palace, Han Liao met her, and he just nodded expressionlessly, didn't look at her, didn't talk to her, really did what she wanted, and no longer pestered her.
Mrs. Han has been paying attention to the progress of Han Liao and Du Wansi, and as soon as she found that something was wrong, she called her grandson to him and asked him, "Why haven't you gone to Du Wansi recently?" ”
Han Liao said, "Busy. ”
Mrs. Han picked up her crutches and hit him, "Grandmother is not blind yet, she can see things clearly." ”
Han Liao pursed his lips, "Grandmother is not blind, but her grandson is blind." ”
Mrs. Han choked and asked him, "Is there a contradiction?" ”
Han Liao sneered, "What is a contradiction, only two very good people will have a contradiction, me and her, heh." ”
A word of sarcasm, three points of self-deprecation, three points of indifference, and four points of indescribable sorrow.
Mrs. Han felt that her grandson was abnormal, Han Zhi looked at Han Liao's expression, sat on the side and said, "Grandmother, the twisted melon is not sweet, that Miss Du family can't look down on your eldest grandson, how many years have it been, and it has been hot for a long time to cover a stone, and I don't know how many eggs are going to lay, but Miss Du's heart, tsk, is more difficult to cover than the stone, I think forget it, there are many high-ranking families in this cloud city, and there are many daughters and famous ladies, there is always one suitable for the eldest brother, and it can make the eldest brother look at the right eye, it is better Say goodbye to your eldest brother, right? ”
Han Liao glared at him fiercely.
Han Zhi chuckled and responded to him with his eyes, "It's useless to stare at me, you have the ability to stare at Du Wansi." ”
Han Liao felt that this younger brother was born to drag him backstage, and he said to Mrs. Han, "I just took over the work of Changshi now, and I am busy all day long, and I don't have the energy or mood to worry about those things, so let's leave it at that." ”
Old Mrs. Han looked at him with doubts in her heart.
Han Liao said that he was tired and wanted to go to sleep, but Mrs. Han couldn't hold him to prevent him from sleeping, so she waved his hand and let him go.
The next day, Mrs. Han personally went to Changling's Mansion to find Du Zuoyun and Mrs. Du, and vaguely expressed that if Du Wansi was really unwilling to marry her grandson, she would have to find another woman for Han Liao.
Although Han Liao forced Du Wansi to do it wrong, but many years have passed, Han Liao has done everything he can do, he has redeemed everything he can atone for, he has begged for relatives, he has kneeling at the door, it is not easy for a man to do this for a woman.
And Han Liao has done everything, as long as Du Wansi nods, but Du Wansi's heart is too hard, over the years, Mrs. Han can also understand it, if it weren't for her grandson's love, a woman with a personality like Du Wansi, she really didn't want her grandson to marry, and it was her grandson who married back and tossed, could she not feel distressed?
As soon as Du Zuoyun and Mrs. Du heard Mrs. Han's words, they thought that Han Liao had indeed not come to the house during this time, and the two of them didn't care about it, after all, it was their daughter's emotional debt, and it was better to let her daughter deal with it herself.
But looking at it today, it seems that the situation is not right.
Du Zuoyun and Mrs. Du glanced at each other, and both read the danger signal in each other's eyes, "If you don't interfere again, my daughter's life will really be delayed", Du Zuoyun coughed lightly, and Mrs. Du hurriedly said, "Wan Si was spoiled by us when she was a child, and her temper was inevitably a little arrogant, the old lady should not be surprised, during this time, our second elder was also fascinated by the scenery of Cloud City, and he had been playing outside, but he ignored her business." ”
Mrs. Han quietly picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
Mrs. Du said, "That's it, now the two children are in the court, and they haven't come back yet, so when they come back at noon, let's go to the house to have a meal together, how about it?" ”
Mrs. Han raised her face from the mouth of the teacup, looked at Mrs. Du, and there were laugh lines on her old face, but she said, "I am old and don't understand the affairs of young people, but I know that my eldest grandson will not come back at noon." ”
Mrs. Du was stunned.
Mrs. Han put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Will you come back at noon?" ”
Mrs. Du said, "Most of them go back, and occasionally they don't." ”
Mrs. Han sighed, "My eldest grandson too." Saying that, she stood up, "It's not too early, I'll go back first, anyway, our two families are close to each other, next time I want to eat, at any time." ”
Mrs. Du couldn't say anything, so she had to personally send Mrs. Han to the door, and when Mrs. Han left and the door was closed, she pinched the handkerchief, frowned, returned to the central hall, and asked Du Zuoyun, "What do you think about this?" ”
Du Zuoyun said, "What can I do, who will my daughter marry if she doesn't marry Han Liao?" ”
Mrs. Du said, "But the silk ......"
Du Zuoyun looked at her and said in a deep voice, "She is a fan of the authorities, whether she likes Han Liao or not, she can't figure it out herself, can't you understand it?" ”
Mrs. Du thought for a while and said, "My daughter has a good temperament and has always been very kind to people, I really can't see whether she likes Han Liao or not, according to what you say, my daughter is interested in that Han Liao?" ”
Du Zuoyun sighed, "You damn it." ”
Mrs. Du smiled, "Since my daughter likes it, then we will give her the decision on this matter." ”
Du Zuoyun said, "That's what I mean, but my daughter is stubborn, if you want to make this family business, you have to find Yun...... Find the emperor. ”
Mrs. Du raised her eyebrows, "Looking for the emperor?" ”
Du Zuoyun said, "Well, let the emperor give him a marriage, but this mouth can't be opened by Han Liao, we have to open it, otherwise when my daughter knows, she will definitely resist him even more, so let's go to the palace." ”
Mrs. Du said, "Now? ”
Du Zuoyun said, "Now." ”
Mrs. Du said, "Okay. He stood up and went to call someone to prepare the carriage, and when the carriage was ready, the second elder went to the palace and met Yunsu.
Yun Su just went down to the court and met them in the imperial study, and when he heard them explain their intentions, his handsome eyebrows paused slightly, and he said with a smile, "Give Han Liao and Wan Si a marriage?" ”
Du Zuoyun nodded, "Hmm." ”
Yun Su asked, "Is this what you mean or what Han Liao meant?" ”
Du Zuoyun said, "What we mean, Han Liao doesn't know. ”
Yun Su sighed, thinking that Han Liao had surprisingly not looked at Du Wansi in the Jinluan Palace in the past few days, he originally wanted to take a moment to summon him to come to the imperial study to ask about the situation, but he was too busy and never had time, but now it seems that if something really happened between the two, the second elder of the Du family would not hesitate to enter the palace and ask him for a marriage decree.
Yun Su said, "I also plan to give marriage to the two of them, since you have also agreed, then set a date, the holy decree cannot be written in general terms about the marriage, but the date must be written." ”
Du Zuoyun said, "I haven't seen the days yet." ”
Yunsu called Mo Yan and asked Mo Yan to pass on to the people of Qin Tianjian and asked him to calculate what the nearest good day was.
