"No matter how cheerful you dance, he won't pay attention to you at all. And once the time is right, he can kill you with one blow with his backhand, just like now." Father Ouyang Lun sighed.
Ouyang Lun was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and whispered: "Dad, how can you say it has no effect on him? If his reputation is ruined, will he still have the face to continue to be an official?"
"Reputation?" Father Ouyang sneered and said sarcastically: "Do you think Han Du became an official because of his reputation? No. It's the emperor. If the emperor asks him to be an official, he can be an official. The emperor doesn't
If you ask him to be an official, he won't be able to do it. So whether he can be an official depends mainly on the emperor and has nothing to do with your self-righteous reputation."
Seeing that Ouyang Lun was still a little unconvinced, his father could only continue to persuade: "I know what you want to say. You want to say that there are many high-ranking officials who were burdened by fame and had to resign in the end, right?"
Ouyang Lun lowered his head and said nothing, but the meaning was exactly what his father said.
But his father sneered twice and said: "If you want Han Du to be burdened by fame, then he must care about fame. But look, since you started asking people to arrange him, has he cared about it at all?
He stood aside and watched coldly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Does a person like him seem to care about reputation? "
Strictly speaking, what Ouyang Lun did was not wrong. His mistake was that he used the right method on the wrong target. If it had been someone else, maybe Ouyang Lun would have succeeded.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Only then did Ouyang Lun truly realize that he was wrong, and that he was far from his father in this matter.
After hearing this, his father sighed and said, "What else can be done? Go to the palace and plead guilty. The key to your marriage to Princess Anqing lies with the emperor. As long as the emperor doesn't nod, no matter how Han Du jumps up and down, it won't be of any use.
.It's a pity that you couldn't see this, and instead recklessly made the royal family lose face. What was originally a sure thing has now been messed up by you. Now let's see how the emperor's attitude towards you is. If you can get the emperor
If you forgive me, there will be no more twists and turns in your relationship with Princess Anqing."
"I know, Dad." Ouyang Lun nodded in agreement. After being enlightened by his father, Ouyang Lun felt that he was really stupid. When he heard that Han Du asked the emperor for a marriage, he became extremely jealous.
He rushed out and wanted to teach him a lesson. He never thought that the key to this matter lay in the emperor's attitude.
If Han Du could be prevented from succeeding, even if he could plead guilty to the emperor, it would be nothing to Ouyang Lun.
...
Since Han Du scolded those scholars, he has not paid much attention to this matter. In order to get closer to Fang Xiaoru, Han Du has been paying attention to Fang Xiaoru these days, taking Fang Xiaoru with him all day long.
Eat, drink and have fun. When Han Du came to his senses, he realized that things had actually developed to this point. He had done nothing, but the situation was one-sided in his favor.
Han Du was very happy about this. If everyone thought he was a great talent, then Lao Zhu might think more about Anqing's affairs. In addition to being happy, Han Du began to look forward to Lao Zhu sending someone.
deliver an imperial order.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
A eunuch and a team of guards strode into the Mirror Room.
Han De and his whole family knelt down to welcome him, "Han De, a common man, welcomes the holy will."
"Mr. Han misunderstood, this is the emperor's imperial edict to Mr. Han." The eunuch smiled and explained.
For me?
Han Du felt hot in his heart. Did Lao Zhu really change his mind?
"Your Majesty, Han Du accepts the order."
Only then did the eunuch Shi Shiran open the imperial edict, stood in front of Han Du and sang loudly: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Since you still have time to write lyrics, Han Du, go and take charge of the Jiaofang Si, I appreciate this!"
"
Didn't he agree to the marriage...Han Du was a little disappointed immediately. As expected, Lao Zhu had a strong personality and did not change his mind so quickly.
But if you don’t agree, just agree. Let yourself be in charge of Jiaofangsi. What does this mean?
Han Du frowned and remained silent.
The eunuch reminded kindly: "Master Han? Take the order."
Han Du suddenly came to his senses and said quickly: "Oh, I accept the imperial edict." After saying this and receiving the edict, the Han family members stood up.
"Thank you, father-in-law, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea." Han De said politely.
Facing Han De's warm invitation, the eunuch waved his hand and refused, saying that he had important matters to attend to, and left without looking back.
Han Du was stunned with the imperial edict, not understanding what Lao Zhu meant? Could it be that Lao Zhu saw that after he was suspended, he was getting his salary for nothing all day long, so he wanted to find something to do for himself? Or was it because
When his request for a marriage was unsuccessful, Lao Zhu wanted to give himself up with a bunch of women so that he would give up on Princess Anqing?
If it is the former possibility, then there is nothing wrong with Han Du Dao, it is just to continue doing things. But if it is the latter possibility, then he will be in trouble. Because this means that Lao Zhu has a firm attitude towards not agreeing to the marriage.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to stuff himself into the Jiaofangsi.
The second possibility is very high.
Han Du sat in the room, lowering his eyes and thinking deeply. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was what Lao Zhu meant.
Jiaofangsi is the brothel of the government. There are many women in it, all of whom are rich ladies from former official families.
In general, the origins of girls in brothels are quite mixed. Some are abducted and sold into brothels; some are forced to sell themselves to brothels because of their poor family background; and some are young girls who were sold by their families during times of famine.
The girl was raised by herself in a brothel.
But the Jiaofangsi is different from the brothel. The women in the Jiaofangsi have only one source, and that is the former convicts. For example, the Han family used to be the same. When Han De reported a ban on treasure money, Lao Zhu directly imprisoned him and gave it to Han.
The family judge ordered all the family members to be executed, and the female family members to be transferred to the Jiaofang Division. If Han Du had not desperately seized the chance of survival later, there would have been two more women in the Jiaofang Division.
As a result, the quality of the women in Jiaofangsi is extremely high. After all, she was once the daughter of a noble family. Apart from other things, she must be proficient in playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. Just this one item is better than ordinary brothels.
It's too high.
In fact, everyone has misunderstandings about brothels, thinking that as long as they are brothel girls, they are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But how is this possible? After all, the origins of brothel girls are too complicated, and some are simply the daughters of poor families.
, you don’t think that a daughter from a poor family can be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?
