Han Du felt that he owed his wife too much in his previous life. He originally thought that after coming here, hundreds of years of time separated him, and he would not have the chance to repay his wife. He did not expect that An Qing and the two of them looked exactly the same. How could Han Du give up so easily?
?
And ever since he learned that Anqing was betrothed to Ouyang Lun, Han Du began to pay attention to Ouyang Lun. Apart from being good-looking and passing the Jinshi examination, Ouyang Lun had absolutely no merit. With a few small sums of money at home, he spent time with Ouyang Lun all day long.
A few sour and smelly scholars were eating, drinking and having fun together, looking for flowers and beauties. He was a complete libertine. Even Lao Zhu couldn't stand it and sent someone to warn him. But this Ouyang Lun only had three minutes of heat to warn him.
After that, he was able to settle down for a few days, but as time went by, he still went his own way.
How did Lao Zhu fall in love with this guy in the first place? Maybe he was blind.
With such a thing, how could Han Du watch An Qing marry him? Wouldn't that mean he fell into a pit of fire, suffered endless suffering, suffered endless sins, and shed tears for the rest of his life?
"Isn't Ouyang Lun's family engaged in business? How did he obtain his fame?" Han Du suddenly asked. The status of businessmen was not high in Hongwu years. Peasants could wear silk, gauze, silk and cloth, but
But businessmen can only wear clothes made of silk or cloth, and they are not even allowed to take part in the imperial examination or serve as an official. He is a businessman in Ouyang Lun's family, so how did he obtain the title of Jinshi?
"This Gu knows," Zhu Biao patiently explained to Han Du: "Although Ouyang Lun's family is engaged in business, he has been dismissed a long time ago. His identity is not a businessman, so he can naturally participate in the imperial examination."
Han Du was speechless after hearing this. Sure enough, there will be egoists everywhere. The ancients were not fools, and they knew how to work hard. Didn't the emperor order businessmen not to participate in the imperial examination and serve as officials? Then they would try their best to protect future generations.
Just wipe off the brand of businessman on his body. As for the removal of clothes, it's just in name only. His son is still his son.
Sure enough, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
No longer entangled in Ouyang Lun, Han Du raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Biao seriously and asked: "Can't His Highness help me in this matter?"
"Do you think Gu didn't help?" Zhu Biao shook his head and sighed, and said: "On the day you asked your father to confer marriage, just after you left, your father went to find An Qing. If Gu hadn't arrived in time, An Qing said
I might be punished by my father."
Then, Zhu Biao told Han Du everything that happened that day. At the end, he looked at Han Du jokingly and said, "You are smart, you can think of such a way to send a message."
I didn’t expect that the two of you had been secretly passing letters for so long under Gu’s nose, and Gu didn’t even know about it, you are really powerful.”
Hearing An Qing explain the method of delivering the letter, Han Du did not blame him at all. Instead, he learned that An Qing was not punished, but was only banned, which made Han Du feel relieved. As for being beaten by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao,
The method of delivering letters that people value so much is not worth anything to Han Du. As long as Han Du wants to, Han Du can come up with another method at any time. Learn about the Morse code.
"I have thanked His Highness for helping Anqing. Is it true that His Highness has nothing to do?" Han Du asked Zhu Biao unwillingly. There are only two people in the world who can persuade Lao Zhu, one is Queen Ma and the other is Zhu Biao.
Biao. Queen Ma and Han Du are naturally unable to talk to each other now, and the only one they can rely on is Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Biao heard this, he pondered for a while, looked at Han Du and shook his head and said: "An Qing is Gu's biological sister, and I will do my best to protect her without you thanking Gu. But now that my father is angry, even if Gu goes to speak for you, I'm afraid
Not only will it not have any effect, but it will be self-defeating. If my father makes up his mind in a fit of anger, then there will really be no room for maneuver in the matter between you and Anqing."
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Biao patted Han Du on the shoulder and advised: "This matter must not be rushed, it must be done slowly."
Han Du listened silently and finally nodded helplessly in agreement.
When Han Du returned home, he locked himself in his room. After this incident, Han Du felt deeply that he was weak and weak. If he had enough strength, how could Lao Zhu reject it the first time he heard it?
At least, it should be seriously considered.
Sure enough, if you are poor, don't join the crowd, and don't persuade others with soft words. If people are soft-spoken, no one will listen. If a person without strength speaks, no matter how loud he shouts, no one will listen, and they will even think that you are
Make noise. But if a powerful person mumbles something casually, everyone will listen carefully for fear of missing a word.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. In just two days, the news that Han Du proposed to marry Princess Anqing spread quickly throughout the capital like a huge stone hitting the water.
People who had good intentions towards Han Du just said things like "a fair lady and a gentleman," "dare to love, dare to hate," and so on, and treated it as something to talk about after dinner.
And those who complained about Han Du were naturally sarcastic towards Han Du. Han Du was suspended, which made them happy, and they couldn't help complaining about the emperor. Why didn't Han Du be imprisoned directly?
The most depressed person was Ouyang Lun. When he heard Han Du requesting the emperor to marry Princess Anqing, he was drinking with a few friends in a restaurant. When he heard the news, his face was livid with anger.
He wanted to call Princess Anqing a 'whore', but after all, Princess Anqing was a golden girl, and he didn't dare to really say it. He could only hold it in his heart, and his anger rose. Naturally, he directed all his anger towards Han.
Vent.
After hearing this, a scholar sitting opposite Ouyang Lun looked at Ouyang Lun in surprise and asked: "Brother Ouyang, isn't it Princess Anqing who the emperor gave you in marriage? How..."
Before the scholar could finish his sentence, the person next to him gave him a secret elbow, interrupting the rest of his words.
The man turned back, looked at the livid Ouyang Lun with a smile, and said persuadingly: "Brother Ouyang is the person whom the emperor promised to marry. Now it's just a villain's wishful thinking. Why should brother Ouyang take it to heart?"
The people next to him also came to their senses and quickly echoed: "That's right, he is just a villain. How can Brother Ouyang's gentlemanly demeanor be compared to that of a mere villain?"
