Chapter 82: Honest Officials Difficult to Interrupt Housework

Han Jian already felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar. When the girl mentioned the incident of Cuiyang Tower that day, Han Jian immediately remembered, wasn’t the girl who seemed stupid when he took Jiao Liuqin and gave Yang Xinger the harmonica that day?

"Jing'er, don't be rude to Your Highness." Gu Xin'er scolded her and looked at Han Jian apologetically, "Your Highness, please forgive me, Jing'er... is the younger sister of a young woman when she was practicing in Shangqing Palace. This time she took her to Luoyang for a trip. She was young and didn't understand the rules."

"It's okay, it's okay." Han Jian's old face turned red, as if his ugly things had been exposed.

After that, Han Jian and Gu Xiner didn't say anything, and the girl named Jinger followed her ashamed and said nothing.

Gu Xiner first took Han Jian to meet the wife of Gu's family, and Gu Weipan's original wife Gu Su. Gu Su had only given birth to a daughter in his thirties. Now he is over fifty years old, with wrinkles on his face, and his outline is somewhat similar to Gu Xiner. Han Jian thought that Gu Su should have been considered a beauty when he was young. And the women outside Gu Weipan may not be stronger than Gu Su's beauty in appearance.

However, this withered Gu Sushi had a strong smile on her face, and she looked like a resentful woman in the deep boudoir. She was still an old resentful woman.

This time, Gu Xiner invited Han Jian to the mansion. Although Gu Xiner was invited in the name of Gu Su, it was actually Gu Xiner's own opinion. After Gu Su came out to see the ceremony, he was going back, but he heard that Gu Weipan was going back soon, and immediately there was a bright look in his eyes.

"Mother goes back to do her makeup first, and her father should come back soon." Gu Xin'er said.

"Oh, Your Highness, I can't accompany you." Gu Su said something and went straight to the back hall.

Han Jian couldn't help but sigh that the women who had not been with her husband for several years were probably like this.

"Your Highness, please sit down." Gu Xiner invited Han Jian and asked the servants in the mansion to serve tea. At the same time, she also asked the kitchen to prepare lunch meals.

Han Jian had just sat down and took the cup of hot tea before he had put the tea in his mouth. He was about to chat with Gu Xiner who was sitting beside him for a while, and then he heard the servants in the mansion come in and report: "Miss, the master is back."

"It's my father who is back." Gu Xin'er glanced at Han Jian apologetically, "Your Highness..."

"Oh, Chief Gu is also the boss who is under his jurisdiction. It's okay to go out to greet him together." Han Jian said this, but in his heart, he scolded the inappropriate old man Gu who came back.

Gu Weipan had just entered the palace to see the queen, and she came over in a sedan chair and was still wearing an official uniform, full of temperament. Perhaps in order to demonstrate his status as the head of the Gu family, Old Man Gu was extremely arrogant when he came back.

Seeing Han Jian and Gu Xiner coming to the yard to greet him, Gu Weipan's face had not yet calmed down, and he greeted Han Jian calmly: "Come?"

"Yes." Han Jian nodded, "Chief Gu finished explaining to His Majesty so quickly?"

Gu Weipan glanced at his daughter and said, "Xin'er, go and prepare to entertain guests first. Have something to do with Dongwang for your father."

"Yes, father."

Gu Xiner looked at Han Jian and Gu Weipan, who seemed to have a eased relationship today, and felt puzzled. When she saw them last time, her father still looked stinky and wanted to scold Han Jian.

Gu Xiner thought to herself: "Did they let go of their past grudges? How did they do it when their father has a bad temper?"

Gu Xiner was questioned in her heart and went to the main hall with her father and Han Jian. After Gu Xiner saluted, she went to the back hall to notify her mother, and at the same time notified the people in the mansion to prepare meals for her father and Dong Wang.

When Gu Xin'er left, Gu Weipan said calmly: "...Your Majesty is very satisfied with the donation you proposed."

"Oh." Han Jianman nodded carelessly and looked at Gu Weipan again, "Chief Gu told His Majesty that he was referring to him?"

"I mentioned it. Your Majesty said that as the advisor of the upper office, you have heard that some appropriate plans are your duty. But Your Majesty also said that you did a good job this time and will be rewarded appropriately."

Han Jian smiled bitterly, he didn't care about anything rewarded. The Eastern Palace lacked nothing, nor did he lacked official positions. Even if he gave him a prime minister, he felt bored.

Gu Weipan Xu said: "In addition, the third prince was kidnapped by the thief yesterday, and now the entire court is worried about this matter. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Han Jianxin said that it was not enough to be annoyed by Yang Xi before, but now Gu Weipan also came to ask him for advice.

This is to find trouble if you have nothing to do. Once you do something well, everyone knows you and curses you. Once you do something wrong, you will be far away from you. Even this stubborn old man Gu Weipan is not immune to the vulgarity.

Han Jian smiled and said, "I am also an in-person person involved, so it is hard to mention the suggestions."

Gu Weipan nodded slightly. He had heard from the people of the Shenzheng Department that Han Jian had a conflict with the third prince Yang Yu yesterday, and then a kidnapping case occurred. Later, after Han Jian met His Majesty, His Majesty ordered Han Jian not to interfere in the case, which may be the reason.

"Kidnap the prince is a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination. Your Majesty should not want you to cause misunderstandings from others..." Gu Weipan said with comfort.

But Han Jian seemed to be intimidating this kind of comfort, such as the crime of raiding a house and extermination. At the same time, he was reminding him that you did it and let him go!

While the two were discussing, Gu Xiner and her mother Gu Su went out of the main hall to meet Gu Weipan and Han Jian. After Gu Su went in to dress up, they became much more charming, but this old demon made Han Jian unable to bear to look at him. It would be better not to dress up than to dress up.

"Master, you are back." Gu Su wanted to come over and take off his official uniform for Gu Weipan, but Gu Weipan snorted coldly and glared coldly. Gu Su did not dare to step forward.

"I'm back today to discuss with the King of Dong. If there is nothing, you can do your own things first." Gu Weipan said with a straight face, "It's nothing, don't come out!"

"Yes, master." Gu Sushi bowed timidly and stepped down. Han Jian watched from the side, thinking that it was difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs, and it was not easy for him to interfere with such things.

Gu Weipan spoke coldly to his original wife, but became much more calm to his daughter. After all, his husband and wife had a feud, so there was no need to implicate his daughter.

"Xin'er, you should accompany...Dong Wang. For your father... to come out with respect..."

Han Jian smiled in his heart. Gu Weipan was busy with memorials, and then he immediately entered the palace and returned home immediately after leaving the palace. There was no time to go to the toilet in the middle. As soon as he got home, he had to go to "conveniently".

"It's my father." Gu Xin'er nodded slightly and watched her father leave the main hall.

When Gu Weipan went out, Han Jian finally couldn't help but smile. Gu Xin'er looked at the smile on Han Jian's face a little cramped. She wanted to laugh with her, but she knew that Han Jian was laughing at her father, and she couldn't laugh.

"Your father is a man with a stingy mouth and a slutty heart. In fact, he is quite good at being a human being, but he treats people too mean occasionally." Han Jian said with a smile.

"When the young woman was young, her father often offended her colleagues. Later, the young woman went to Shangqing Palace to practice and rarely went home. She hadn't seen her father for several years. I think he would be the same as before. My father should be... not very friendly to Your Highness... Please forgive me."

The father offended the person, but the daughter first paid off. Han Jian smiled and said, "Oh. It's okay."

"Your Highness, why did my father come back this time...it seems to be much more kind to you?"

The last time Gu Xiner went to the audition office, she saw Gu Weipan and Cui Mingli quarrel. Han Jian was still implicated at that time. At that time, Gu Xiner was very worried that her father had a stubborn temper and offended others.

"Oh." Han Jian thought for a while, "Probably, I just scolded Old Man Cui today. Your father thinks I scolded me beautifully, so he looks at me differently."
