Fang Xiaoru immediately shook her right hand, rolled up her sleeves, picked up her chopsticks, and started to eat the delicious food in front of her.
Just now, he was so worried that he had no intention of eating or drinking. He just watched Han Du keep eating. Now that he had left the burden to Han Du, his melancholy was gone, his heart was full of joy, and even his appetite increased greatly.
Faced with this skill that was better than that of the imperial chef, how could Fang Xiaoru be able to endure it?
After a long time, Han Du gradually got a clue and slowly came back to his senses. He immediately saw Fang Xiaoru eating happily and couldn't help but muttered that indeed, carefree people have the best appetites!
"Do you really have to help Jie Jin?"
"Yeah~Yeah~" Fang Xiaoru didn't raise his head, just nodded vaguely twice.
Han Du touched his chin and pondered, "I don't know what to do about this? Let me meet with Xie Jin first, and then we can talk."
Fang Xiaoru was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand. He swallowed the dish in two gulps and drank a glass of wine.
He grabbed Han Du's arm, pulled him up, and laughed and said, "He lives in my house, let's go right away."
Han Du glanced at Fang Xiaoru in surprise, pointed at the dishes on the table, and said, "You can't go back until you eat first. I'm not in a hurry."
"I'm anxious!" Fang Xiaoru pulled Han Du and left without looking back, "You don't know, I'm going crazy with anxiety these days. I can come and eat these dishes at your house at any time.
You'd better help me resolve this matter first."
Han Du had no choice but to let Fang Xiaoru pull him out.
Just when I walked to the entrance of the hospital, I happened to bump into An Qing.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
Fang Xiaoru nodded towards An Qing, indicating that she had met him before. He didn't even want to give away his hand, and just pulled Han Du out.
Han Du had no choice but to give An Qing a reassuring look, and was dragged away by Fang Xiaoru with a staggering step.
An Qing stood there, staring blankly at the courtyard gate whose back had disappeared. Hongyi beside him couldn't help but asked softly, "Princess, Lord Marquis, what is this?"
An Qing came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry about them, let's leave."
Han Du was dragged to Fang's house by Fang Xiaoru.
Fang Xiaoru currently lives in Qingzhengfang. With his official position as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, he is qualified enough to get a house in Qingzhengfang.
Of course, with Fang Xiaoru's current net worth of over two million yuan, even if he wants to buy a bigger house, he can easily afford it.
But in Fang Xiaoru’s words, since it is the imperial court’s advantage,
That's not a waste. Although the house has only three entrances and is not as spacious as the fifth entrance, it is more than enough to house his family.
What's more, Qingzhengfang is now very famous in the capital. Although the imperial court believes that the value of such a house is only 10,000 guan, and the cost is less than 1,000 guan, there were once wealthy businessmen who wanted to buy it for 50,000 guan, but no one sold it.
he.
Fifty thousand dollars!
Even in the inner city, if you buy a three-in house, the remaining money will be enough for the whole family to eat and drink for a lifetime. Moreover, it is not enough to save food and drink for a lifetime. However, no one is willing to sell it!
Being able to live in Qingzhengfang, the role of money seems to be infinitely weakened. Living here is a symbol of power!
Fang Xiaoru pulled Han Du in. As soon as he passed the screen wall, he met someone head-on.
"Master Fang, you are so polite!"
When Han Du heard this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Fortunately, it wasn't 'I'm just being polite', otherwise Han Du might really be disgusted.
Looking around, I saw a man with a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, wearing a white gown. His two eyebrows were like thick ink strokes on white paper, and they had sharp blades.
A light beard not only doesn't make him look mature, but makes him even more heroic.
Even Han Du, who has always been proud of his appearance, couldn't help but exclaim, "What a good face!"
Except that Xie Jin is a little thinner, just looking at his appearance, many people would regard him as a wise general. The heroic spirit on his face is really enough.
When Fang Xiaoru saw him, he immediately gritted his teeth and laughed loudly as he came forward, "Master, didn't I tell you before that you don't need to be so polite? Just call me Xi Zhi."
Xie Jin smiled and accepted it calmly.
Then he looked at Han Du and saw Han Du looking at him with a smile on his face. Xie Jin bowed down and said, "Jie Jin, a common man, pays homage to the Marquis of Zhenhai."
Han Du glanced at him and asked calmly, "Do you know me?"
Xie Jin straightened up and nodded with a smile, "Today is the first time I have the honor to meet the Marquis."
"Then how can you be sure it's me?" Han Du asked meaningfully.
Xie Jin's eyes showed a bit of pride, and he said, "The marquis is wearing a python robe, so ordinary people will naturally recognize him. And among the marquises, there is no one else besides Zhenhai Marquis who is so young. What's more, he can compete with Fang Da
Among the marquis, you are the only one who has such a close relationship, right?"
"Hahaha, good eyesight!" Han Du laughed and nodded. He couldn't help but praise in his heart. He is a man with a quick mind, not one of those guys who are blinded by lard.
But it was precisely because of Xie Jin's quick thinking that Han Du found it even more difficult to handle. It was not that Han Du was jealous of talented people, but that Xie Jin's arrogance was too strong.
Han Du asked him deliberately just now, just to see his reaction. But Jie Jin even guessed Han Du's identity, and his pride showed from the brows. This shows how arrogant Xie Jin is.
!
To be honest, it is not very difficult to guess Han Du's identity. Anyone who is smart can guess it from Han Du's clothes and various actions.
But Xie Jin regarded this as his proud work, as if no one else could do it except him. This was a bit too much!
To put it nicely, this is called arrogance by Xie Jin! To put it lightly, this is called showing off. Especially in the court, such behavior is no different from seeking death. ??
In court, what matters is low-key and hiding one's clumsiness. Remember, this is not about being a good person with your tail between your legs!
Above the court, there are invisible swords and swords every day, and bloodshed may break out anytime and anywhere. In such an environment, the first thing no matter who wants to do is to protect themselves. Only when you survive can you talk about other things.
.
And with a temperament like Xie Jin's, as soon as he steps into the court, he is almost like a piece of wood that the wind will destroy. When Xie Jin first enters the court, he is extremely high-profile and will attract everyone's attention in an instant. In addition, his foundation
Shang Qian, among others, is a sword and gun that can be commanded at will.
It's weird that others won't let you, a newcomer, take advantage of you!
Even the emperor would not hesitate to use Xie Jin's head if necessary. Don't think that being favored by the emperor is a good thing. Don't think that the emperor will talk about feelings with you. The most ruthless emperor is
The family, as long as it is an emperor, is an emotionless machine.
Of course, except for the Hunjun. The Hunjun is the one who is more emotional than rational.
Fang Xiaoru motioned the two of them to sit down in the study, and the servant brought tea.
Fang Xiaoru gestured, "You two, please have some tea!"
After drinking tea, Fang Xiaoru pointed at Han Du and said to Jie Jin, "Although you have already guessed it, I still want to introduce him to you. This is the Marquis of Zhenhai, Han Du."
"How are you, Mr. Hou!" Xie Jin greeted with a smile.
"Okay, I've heard about it a long time ago
Your name. No, I heard from Xi Zhi that you were here, so I came over to take a look. You wouldn’t mind, would you?" Han Du said with a smile.
Xie Jin smiled proudly and said, "The Marquis is so polite. It is an honor for the gentleman to be able to meet the Marquis in person."
Han Du nodded slightly, fortunately, he was not so arrogant yet, he still knew how to be humble.
Next, Fang Xiaoru started chatting with Xie Jin.
Although Han Du occasionally added a word or two, he mainly listened to the conversation between the two.
Seeing that it was almost done, Fang Xiaoru said to Xie Jin, "Although I am willing to help you with your matter, but"
Xie Jin became nervous after hearing this. He had already told Fang Xiaoru about his request, but Fang Xiaoru didn't give him a clear answer these days. He only tried to persuade him to stay in the house with good words, and said generously that he wanted to stay in the house.
You can stay as long as you want.
Xie Jin wanted to be an official, but he didn't want to live in Fang Xiaoru's house. Moreover, he saw that Fang Xiaoru was trying to avoid him, which made him even more anxious.
It's not that he has never thought about finding other people, but others don't allow Fang Xiaoru to have a high position. For things like recommending officials, of course, the more high-ranking people speak up, the better the effect will be. This is not just about relationships.
It is related to the grade of the initial official, and even to the future official career.
Therefore, Xie Jin did not want to give up Fang Xiaoru's recommendation unless he had to.
Fang Xiaoru paused and said, "But I am still a low-key person in the court. Even if I recommend you, I'm afraid the emperor may not let you serve as an official. And Han Du is a celebrity around the emperor and is also the Marquis of Zhenhai. If it is done by
If he comes to recommend you, he will definitely be much better than me. What do you think?"
"This" Xie Jin was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that such a good thing would happen to him.
Just as Fang Xiaoru said, with Han Du's status, if he is willing to recommend him to the emperor, then he can almost reach the sky in one step.
"If so, if the Marquis is willing to show his noble hand, the gentleman will be deeply grateful!"
Han Du stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, then said with a smile, "I have never recommended anyone to the emperor!"
After Xie Jin heard this, his heart suddenly sank, thinking that Han Du would not agree.
Han Du saw the change in his expression and continued, "But since it is Xi Zhi who is interceding for you, I must give him face no matter what."
A sudden change in the village made Xie Jin's heart beat violently.
Unable to suppress his excitement, he raised his hands and said to Han Du, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
