Chapter 62 Unwelcome Visitors
Shortly after the woman entered, she brewed tea and served it on the tea table. She asked the old maid to bring a stool, but Zhang Xing refused to sit.
"The master came back after he scattered his court and never delayed it." The woman said to Han Jian.
Han Jian smiled and nodded, thinking that Old Man Gu is still a good man from the Gu family, although he is a foreign homestay.
Han Jian picked up a tea cup and drank the tea. The tea was very fragrant and asked, "The tea smells strong. I have never drunk it before. I wonder what kind of tea it is?"
The woman smiled and said, "The official has similar preferences to my master. My master also likes to drink this tea. This is ordinary moqing."
"Mo Qing?" Han Jian frowned. There were many teas he had tasted, but he had never heard of this kind of tea. It was still very "ordinary"?
"The tea from the woman's hometown is not worth mentioning..." The woman went into the house after she said that, and it seemed that she was preparing dinner.
The first impression this woman gave Han Jian was to be cautious, and the impression she had afterward was that she had temperament. He couldn't say what her temperament was. She was not a lady from a family or a girl from a small family. She was mysterious and attracted exploration. Han Jian thought that this should be the reason why this woman looked average but could keep Gu Weipan.
Han Jian's main purpose this time was to investigate the situation. After some exchange, he probably understood it in his heart. Just as he was thinking about whether to leave, he saw the little boy who had entered the house before coming out of the house and then ran and jumped in the yard.
At first, the boy was afraid of having sex, but seeing that Han Jian didn't seem to be malicious, he tried to climb onto the swing and swing on his own. Then the woman came out and shouted: "Xiaowen, go back to do your homework."
"Oh." The boy responded with a pout and went back to the room.
The woman apologized to Han Jian, as if she felt that her son had come out to play and disturb the customer.
"Forgive me, the child is young and ignorant."
Han Jian smiled and said, "Young Master is very lively and active."
The woman said: "The people's women and children have just started studying and have not yet gathered their desire to play, so they can't control themselves."
This woman did not shy away from the love for her son in front of outsiders, and directly referred to as "child".
Han Jian asked, "Let the young master be enlightened, but have you invited the teacher to come back to teach?"
The woman shook her head and said, "Study in a private school."
As he spoke, the door was knocking at the door, and the woman hurriedly opened the door, as if she was familiar with the knocking.
Han Jianxin said that Old Man Gu was too stingy in the Wei Dynasty, the second minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, was too stingy. He had a son in his old age. How much money did his son start studying and hired a teacher to come back?
Han Jian was thinking when Gu Weipan's voice came from the door, as if scolding: "...How can you let someone in casually?"
Then Gu Weipan rushed into the yard angrily. When he saw that it was Han Jian, Gu Weipan was a little surprised. At this time, Han Jian had enough time to finish the last sip of tea before he stood up leisurely and looked at each other with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Gu Weipan asked angrily at Han Jian.
Seeing that the situation was a little wrong, the woman found that her son was sneaking out of the door, so she hurried to the door to rush the boy into the door, and she also went into the room.
At this time, even if a woman is a regular wife, it is difficult for her to appear on the stage. What's more, the woman is very tactful and knows that she is not aware of her wife's morality when she is speaking.
Han Jian smiled and said, "Huh? Didn't Chief Gu just asked me to find the wild monk to give details? Now the details have been listed. I thought that Chief Gu was in a hurry to ask for it, so I came to the mansion to send it to him in person. Chief Gu seemed not very welcome."
Gu Weipan's face turned red, and everyone in the court knew that he was raising women outside and never returned home for many years, which was a joke. Gu Weipan's Russian originated from Ruzhi, valued ethics, and the most taboo thing in daily life was this. Therefore, even relatives and friends did not dare to mention it in front of him, and he never invited anyone to this courtyard. Today, it was the young man in front of him that destroyed the long-term tranquility of the courtyard, which made him angry.
Gu Weipan thought: "Is it possible that Cui Mingli is asking this kid to give me my face sincerely?"
Han Jian's face seemed to be unable to detect Gu Weipan's disgust towards him, and he still had a kind smile on his face, which made Gu Weipan have no choice. Gu Weipan also knew that he had something to ask for now. If this happened, he might not even get the details of building the tower. Han Jian also grasped his mind and smiled in front of Gu Weipan.
Don't hit people with a smile.
"Where are the details?" Gu Weipan asked with anger in his arms.
Han Jian also knew that pushing the old man too quickly might cause a reaction, so he took out a folded book from his arms and handed it to Gu Weipan. Gu Weipan took the details in his hand and immediately looked through it to verify the authenticity.
"Chief Gu, it's too late today. I'm still in a hurry to go home and don't bother you." Han Jianyan said goodbye.
"No, no," Gu Weipan said.
"It's not a long time to send it off, but I want to remind you about something before leaving. Chief Gu, don't forget what you promised... in terms of time... Of course, we can't delay it for a long time..."
Gu Weipan looked at the door of the house first, and felt relieved when he saw that the woman was not listening, but he still said impatiently: "I believe in my words, and after the court will disperse tomorrow, I will do it."
"Oh, then I'll feel relieved." Han Jian bowed and said goodbye, and went straight out of the yard.
After leaving the yard, Han Jian's smile naturally faded, and pretending to smile in front of others made him feel uncomfortable. Zhang Xing, who was beside him, said: "Young Master, it's not too early, it's time to go back."
"No hurry." Han Jian said, "Go with me again."
Zhang Xing bowed to take the order, but didn't ask where he went. When he arrived at the place, he realized that he was coming to Gu Weipan's house, and there was a large plaque "Gu Mansion" hanging on the door of the mansion.
Gu Weipan's main residence is located on Kuan Street where the government office gathers. The mansion is grand and has at least six or seven entrances into the high-walled courtyard. Han Jian thought that Gu Weipan was not the kind of person who pursues material enjoyment. He stayed in the courtyard, on the one hand, he had affection for women outside, and on the other hand, he had no attachment to this family.
"Young Master, this time..." Zhang Xing didn't understand why Han Jian was going to run between Gu Weipan's outer sect and the main sect. He only knew that Han Jian could not take the liberty to disturb others again.
"It's okay, you stand and I'll knock on the door." Han Jian said as he went up and knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door this time was not the mistress in the house or Gu Xiner, but an old servant in his fifties and sixties. The old servant looked at Han Jian in his gorgeous clothes and said in a daze: "Young Master..."
"I'm going to find Miss Gu, and I have something to talk about." Han Jian bowed.
"Miss?" The old servant thought that his wife was practicing in Shangqing Palace on weekdays, and it was rare to go back to Luoyang City. It was probably because of the opportunity to get close to him.
"My lady is away and has not come back yet. Please come back, my son." The old servant said and wanted to close the door and drive the guests away.
Han Jian was a little annoyed at the moment. From this point, he could see the difference between Old Man Gu's house and Outer house.
One is a quiet and elegant courtyard with no rules. When you get home, you can chat and laugh quietly with your wife and son, and even play potted plants and drink tea in the courtyard. However, the main house has strict rules, and there are many people in the mansion that are not enough for him to worry about.
Han Jian was about to break through when he suddenly heard a woman in the door saying, "Brother Lin, who is outside?"
As he spoke, his voice was approaching the door. Han Jian knew it was Gu Xiner when he heard it.
"Oh, it's okay. Just a question of direction..."
As he said that, the old servant was about to close the door. Han Jian pushed his sword and held the door back and shouted, "Who asked for directions?"
Gu Xin'er walked to the door and saw that it was Han Jian. She smiled happily and said, "Your Highness?"
The old servant was stunned, as if he felt that the other party was not simple, and he really knew their lady.
"Brother Lin, go do your business first, I have something to say to the guests." Gu Xin'er seemed to be afraid that her mother would know what he had agreed with Han Jian, so she wanted to go out to talk to Han Jian.
"It's a lady." The old servant glanced at Han Jian and stepped down in disappointment.
