Chapter Two Thousand and Forty-Nine: Watching a Show
Han Shu returned to the house and hurried to the courtyard where his eldest brother lived.
"Brother." I saw the eldest brother sitting under the tree, holding a book in his hand, a pot of tea and a plate of snacks next to him.
"What's wrong?" Han Du put down the book, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking at his brother in confusion.
Han Shu quickly stood opposite his eldest brother, glanced around, and lowered his voice: "Brother, guess who I saw today?"
Han Du glanced at him lightly. Since he came to find him, the person he saw must be someone he knew. And if he was so excited, it meant that this person must be extraordinary.
After thinking for a while, the only people Han Du knew here were Yu Qian, Yang Qing and others, but these people obviously would not make his brother look like this.
Suddenly, Han Du thought of Xiaosong Lingzi whom he had met before, and smiled slightly: "Have you seen Xiaosong Lingzi?"
"How does the elder brother know?" Han Shu stared at the elder brother with wide eyes and a face full of shock. It's amazing that the elder brother can guess it before he even said it. Is this a prophet?
Han Du chuckled and waved his hand calmly: "It's not as complicated as you think. It's just that I happened to meet her yesterday."
"Brother, did you meet Lingzi Komatsu yesterday?" Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief. If this is the case, then it makes sense that the eldest brother could guess Lingzi Komatsu at once.
"But since eldest brother saw her yesterday, why didn't he tell her?"
Han Du smiled slightly and shrugged: "What did I say?"
Han Shu was stunned for a moment. Indeed, his eldest brother was not from Xinming and was still conflicted with the emperor. Why should he tell the emperor the news about Komatsu Reiko?
After hesitating for a moment, Han Shu lowered his voice and asked: "Brother, should I tell the emperor the news?"
Han Du glanced at him and asked a little strangely: "What you want to do is your business, why are you asking me? In the past, you asked me at home, which was understandable. But you have come to Xinming
It’s been twenty years, I’ve been on my own for a long time, and now you’re asking me?”
Han Shu suddenly smiled awkwardly and lowered his head in embarrassment. He was not like this when his elder brother didn't come. He made his own decisions about everything.
But since the eldest brother came, although the eldest brother didn't say anything or interfere with him, Han Shu always felt unconfident in his heart.
He wants his elder brother to give him advice on everything, so that he can be confident.
"Well, I don't think that the relationship between Komatsu Reiko and my eldest brother is unusual. What if I offend my sister-in-law?"
"What sister-in-law?" Han Du immediately sat up straight and stared at his brother with wide eyes: "Those rumors outside were deliberately spread by people sent by Xiaosong Lingzi. Do you really believe it?"
"I've told you before, you only have two sisters-in-law, and no more besides."
Han Shu chuckled and said vaguely: "It's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Before, I thought the elder brother was deliberately covering it up."
"I'm covering you up!" Han Du was so angry that he cursed himself, "You don't have to think about it with your head. If I really had something with her, would I let her be like this?"
How many years?”
"This woman is shameless. Be careful next time you meet her and don't let her get involved with you."
"I know." Han Shu nodded quickly and replied, seeing that his elder brother was really angry.

He didn't dare to refute at all.
Han Du finally calmed down and stared at his younger brother with great dissatisfaction. He grabbed the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Brother, should I tell the emperor about Xiaosong Lingzi?" Han Shu asked the question again.
Although his eldest brother had already told him that he should make his own decision, he couldn't help but want his eldest brother to help him make decisions in front of him.
Han Du sighed helplessly: "What do you think about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor?"
"Okay, then I will report to the emperor immediately." After Han Shu finished speaking, he quickly turned around and entered the palace to see Zhu Di.
Han Du frowned as he watched his younger brother leave. Komatsu Reiko's actions made him unable to understand clearly. As the Queen of Japan, she dared to come to Xinming Capital alone. Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
Or, what confidence did Komatsu Reiko have that made her think that Zhu Di did not dare to detain her?
"I really don't know what her intentions are." Han Du didn't think that Xiaosong Lingzi would be stupid enough to come to Xinming to die. If she was so stupid, she would have died on the Japanese island long ago.
This woman came to Xinming in such a big way, obviously she wanted to cause trouble!
"But what does this have to do with me?" Han Du suddenly laughed, "The trouble is Zhu Di, let them go dog-eat-dog!"
Just when Han Du was thinking about what was going to happen between Zhu Di and Komatsu Lingzi, Yu Qian came over.
"Teacher, what are you laughing at?" Yu Qian sat down opposite the teacher, reached out and picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Han Du chuckled and shook his head slightly: "I'm not laughing at anything."
Seeing that the teacher was unwilling to say anything, Yu Qian did not ask further questions, and then said: "By the way, didn't the teacher say before that he was going to prepare to return to Ming Dynasty? When should we go back?"
"Go back." Han Du subconsciously touched his nose, pondered for a moment and then smiled: "Don't worry, isn't Zhu Di going to hold a sacrifice? How about we go back after watching the sacrifice?"
Yu Qian looked at the teacher in confusion and asked with a puzzled face: "Isn't it just a sacrifice to heaven? The teacher has seen it many times in Daming, and it should be similar here in Xinming."
Yu Qian didn't know what was so good about a sacrifice to heaven. It was no fun for the teacher at all. How could the teacher give up his plan to go back just for this?
Han Du looked at the disciple in front of him, pondered for a moment and decided to tell him the news about Xiaosong Lingzi.
"do you know?"
"What?" Yu Qian was very confused and quickly put down the cake in his hand, took a sip of tea and cleaned up the residue in his mouth.
"Xiaosong Lingzi is here." Han Du said with a smile.
"Xiaosong Lingzi?" Yu Qian's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked very fast: "Isn't she the Queen of Japan? How dare she come here alone?"
Han Du shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully: "I don't know where she got the courage."
"Teacher, it's because of Komatsu Reiko that you gave up and went back now?" Yu Qian immediately thought of this and looked at the teacher with an inexplicable look: "Teacher, can you tell the truth to your disciple?"
"What truth?" Han Du hadn't reacted yet and subconsciously looked at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian quickly came closer and lowered his voice and asked: "It's not true that the teacher and Xiaosong Lingzi are there. What about that?"
"Get out!" Han Du was furious. Han Shu returned to the house and hurried to the yard where his eldest brother lived.
"Brother." I saw the eldest brother sitting under the tree, holding a book in his hand, a pot of tea and a plate of snacks next to him.
"What's wrong?" Han Du put down the book, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking at his brother in confusion.
