There is a pavilion in the rockery of the yard of the Shangdian Office. On weekdays, officials will sit in it for a nap when they come back. However, on weekdays, they can’t even find a figure in the yard of the Shangdian Office. At this time, the pavilion is even more deserted.

Gu Weipan walked in front and Han Jian was behind. The two of them arrived in front of the pavilion. Gu Weipan did not sit on the stone bench and turned around and asked, "What you said the day before yesterday, I will visit you home once, but I will find the person who drew the picture?"

At this time, Gu Weipan pulled down his old face, and on the surface he was talking to Han Jian with kindness, but Han Jian could see that he was being forced to do so, so he had to swallow his anger and say soft words.

Han Jian thought for a while and said, "Chief Gu has forgotten so much. I will only say that I can find it for you. It is still hard to say whether it can be found."

"What did you say?" Gu Weipan's face turned a little ferociously and looked at Han Jian.

Han Jian smiled and said, "The person who painted the picture is a wild monk who travels all over the world. I respect Taoism in my dynasty. A wild monk has no place to stand in Luoyang City. Maybe he can be found, or maybe he can't be found."

Gu Weipan heard Han Jian’s serious matter and wondered in his heart that if he could not find him, he would be guilty of dereliction of duty. He would be punished by the emperor at a minority rate, and at a minority rate, he would be demoted, and at a serious risk of losing his official position.

Gu Weipan retreated and asked the second best: "Since that's the case, then you can find the...wild monk as soon as possible, and ask him to complete the pictures and list the details of the tower. If you can do it... I promised you to go home and visit..."

Han Jian felt awkward when he heard this. Gu Weipan said that he was going home as if he was going to go to the tiger's den. Could it be that Gu Xin'er's mother was a tigress? But Gu Weipan's temper was like a bull, and she was still afraid of a tigress?

Han Jian is not sure what the situation is in his family at the moment. What he has to do now is to complete the promise to Gu Xiner first.

"Then try your best." Han Jian said, and returned to the yamen office of the Kuji Department.

When Han Jian came back, Lin Zhan was still standing, and he still seemed restrained when he came to this place.

Han Jian talked to Lin Zhan about Lin Xiaoyun's case, and he also asked a few questions about the bandits. After Han Jian came to this world, he was most interested in those martial arts masters who were very high and high. Although the swordsmanship he learned was not weak, he only learned the basics of internal breathing. Not to mention the profound internal skills, he could not even ordinary light skills.

Lin Zhan didn't know who the bandit was named or who was from his origin, so Han Jian did not obtain any valuable information. Soon Lin Zhan was about to leave, saying that he was going to return to Tingwei's Mansion.

"Brother Lin, things always turn around, don't be too busy." Han Jian knew that Lin Zhan was working to numb himself, so he advised him with kind words before leaving.

Lin Zhan nodded, sighed, and said goodbye again. Han Jian personally watched him leave from the door.

When he returned to the room, Han Jian first calculated Lin Xiaoyun's affairs in detail. He was not sure. He didn't see the specific situation of Lin Xiaoyun's murder. The murderer died, which was basically a common example in ancient times. He wanted to save Lin Xiaoyun mainly because of the protection of goodness and appreciation of Lin Zhan's brother and sister. As for Lin Xiaoyun, who was impulsive and causing trouble, he also lacked a good impression.

Seeing the sun gradually set, Han Jian remembered Gu Weipan's instructions that he could let a bull let go of his arrogance and whisper to negotiate terms with him, which also shows that Gu Weipan has no way out. Han Jian did not want to force Gu Weipan to be impatient, so that there was no turning around between him and his original wife.

Han Jian picked up his pen and listed some "detailed rules" for building towers on paper. The so-called rules are some necessary parameters for building towers, length, width and height, internal structure, beam foundation and other specific data. The tower map before was more of a model, but now he is replenishing a rough model map into a real tower.

Originally, he could not complete these things in just one or two days, but fortunately, when he drew the tower before, he had already made plans in his mind. Besides, ancient buildings were not as complicated as modern buildings, so now he picked up his pen and finished it in one go. After he had listed the details, it was nearly an hour before the sun was setting, and it was about to dusk.

Han Jian originally wanted to send it to Gu Weipan directly, but when he thought about it, wouldn’t he tell him that he was the one who drew the tower? Han Jian thought that he would send the details until the next day, indicating that he had indeed put in effort to find it.

As dusk approaches, Han Jian also wants to go back to the Dongwang Mansion Villa first, and come out from the upper office. A guard from the Dongwang Mansion is waiting outside. The guard is named Zhang Xing, and he is one of his guard captains.

"Young Master, what you asked us to investigate is settled." Zhang Xing met Han Jian and whispered when he saw Han Jian coming out.

Han Jian remembered that he asked the guards to investigate Gu Weipan's affairs, nodded, and first took Zhang Xing away from the door of the General Office of the Shangdian Office, and then asked about the situation roughly.

"... Gu Weipan does raise a house outside. The woman has been with him for many years. I heard that she is from a family. It has not been verified yet, but we have found her exact address."

Han Jian was a little surprised. Although he had known Gu Weipan for a long time, he also realized that this old stubborn person was very principled. He threw away his original wife and daughter in the family because he was attached to a woman in the fun. Such a non-principle thing would happen to Gu Weipan?

"What age is that woman?" Han Jian asked.

Zhang Xing felt a little embarrassed: "Forgive me, young master, it has not been verified yet."

Han Jian originally wanted to find out about the general situation and could use the excuse to go to Gu Xiner to work in Gu'er's office, but after hearing what Zhang Xing said, he was very interested in this woman who could "***" the old stubborn Gu Weipan, and instead wanted to go and see it in person.

"If you know her address, go and have a visit in person." Han Jian said.

Zhang Xing led the way forward, but the two of them did not take a carriage. They walked all the way. After walking three or four street intersections, they arrived at the street where the Gu Weipan outside the house mentioned by Zhang Xing. The street was not a place where the courtyards of high-ranking officials and nobles gathered. Although the surrounding courtyards were not grand, they were all houses of ordinary wealthy families. The road surface was also very clean, and someone should have cleaned it on weekdays.

Han Jian looked around and thought that this was a very elegant place. He also knew the specific location of Gu Weipan's outer house based on Zhang Xing's guidance. He also felt that it was just an ordinary courtyard, and even the door was so inconspicuous.

With the low wall and two black and closed door panels, Han Jianxin said, would Gu Weipan live here if he didn't go home?

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and Han Jian couldn't find a neighbor to inquire about the situation. Zhang Xing said on the side: "Young Master, why don't we send a few people to visit the night tonight?"

"It's not like kidnapping, it won't be." Han Jian said, "It's best to solve this kind of thing. Just knock on the door?"

Zhang Xingzheng realized that this was inappropriate, and Han Jian had already stepped forward and pulled the door knocking and hit it twice.

"Is anyone?" Han Jian shouted.

Unable to hear anyone responding inside, Han Jian thought, was it because the master was not at home?

At this moment, I heard the sound of the door latch opening, and then two dark door panels "creaked" and opened a crack, and a woman exposed her eyes from behind the door panel.

Han Jian looked inside. Although he couldn't see the whole picture of the woman clearly, he could tell that she was not a very beautiful woman and was a little old.

Could it be the old mom invited by Gu Weipan?

"What are you two?" the woman asked, but her voice was gentle.

Han Jian bowed and said, "This lady is the one who works at the upper office and the tutoring department. She comes here to talk to Chief Gu for something. Behind her, she is the follower."

After hearing Han Jian say this, the door latch was completely opened and the door was a little open. Han Jian could finally see the whole picture of the woman.

A very simple woman, who was about forty years old, had no carved clothes or silk clothes. She looked like an ordinary farmer's wife, and even her appearance was very ordinary, which made Han Jian feel that this should not be the woman Gu Weipan raised outside.

The woman still stood behind the threshold, gently pulled down her skirt, bowed and said, "This official, my master has not returned yet."

While speaking, the woman looked down at the sword around Han Jian's waist, with a cautious look on her face.

"That lady... can we wait inside?" Han Jian asked.

The woman looked embarrassed: "The civilian woman is alone at home and welcomes two officials into the house, for fear of inconvenience."

The woman's words made Han Jian a little stunned. She was alone at home? Isn't that what is the woman Gu Weipan raised outside?

Han Jianxin thought Gu Weipan's vision was too bad, this woman was very ordinary. Besides, Gu Weipan should not be so mean. He just joined the chief minister of the office and lived here on weekdays. Doesn't he even invite a servant?

Han Jian was about to say goodbye and leave, but a childish boy called out from a distance: "Mom!"

Han Jian looked at him and a boy of six or seven, followed by a maid dressed in forties and fifties, carrying a basket of vegetables. He went to the door, held the woman's hand, hid behind the woman affectionately, and then raised his head and glanced at Han Jian, a little afraid of being alive.

Han Jian was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have a little more insight into his heart. It turned out that he had given birth to a son for Old Man Gu. No wonder Old Man Gu threw away his family for her.

"Madam, is this... Master Ling?"

"Yes." The woman lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little difficult to speak. Han Jian knew in his heart that although this woman was "stayed with Gu Weipan forever", she was not qualified after all and could not enter the house. Even if she had a son, she could not raise her head.

Then, the civilian woman came over and said happily: "Madam, I bought the vegetables and they are all the ones I like..."

"Sister Hu, you go in first." The woman said softly.

"Okay, madam." Mrs. Hu nodded to Han Jian with a smile, not knowing politeness, and took the basket and pulled the young master into the door.

The woman still stood at the door and said, "There are few people here here on weekdays. Since the family has returned, if the official wants to wait, he will wait in the yard."

Han Jian thought that this woman was very cautious and did not welcome guests when she was at home. Now that her son and servants were back, she was not so evasive. Han Jian nodded and said, "Mrs. Lue, guided the way..."

Han Jian and Zhang Xing passed the porch and entered the yard under the guidance of the woman. However, they saw that it was a small, unique courtyard with many potted plants in the yard, which filled the originally small yard, but it did not seem very messy. It was obviously carefully cared for. Now in April, there are a few flowers in full bloom. There is a tree in the yard that Han Jian cannot name. The tree is not too high and the branches and leaves are not lush. There is a swing between the trunk and the eaves of the house, which should be used for children to have fun on weekdays.

There is a square tea table in the yard, and there is only a stool in front of the tea table. The woman said, "People please sit first, and the civilian woman will go in and move a seat out first..."

Zhang Xing said hurriedly: "Madam, don't bother me, I am just a follower, just stand."
