The second letter should have been added shortly after the first one was sent. The wording of this letter is completely different from the previous one.
Fu Zhi told Zhao Hanzhang that his health had been getting worse since the news of the death of the late emperor came. The weather had become colder recently and he felt heavier day by day.
He asked: "I haven't heard from Ting Han for a long time. How is he doing these days? When can he return to Beijing to reunite with you? The war has stopped. Do you two have any plans to get married?"
Perhaps because there was no news of marriage in the past few months after the war stopped, Fu Zhi didn't know what he thought of. His tone was completely different from last time. He said: "His parents have been stranded in Shu for many years. If you two have not gotten married recently,
If we don’t plan to let him go to Shu to bring back his parents, it’s time for their family to be reunited after being separated for many years.”
Zhao Hanzhang knew that Fu Zhi was testing her. If she agreed to let Fu Tinghan go to Shu, it would mean that their marriage had changed.
Fu Zhi didn't know that Fu Tinghan had returned to Beijing, so she couldn't help but think too much. She decided to let him choose a wedding date.
As for betrothal gifts and the like, she thought of Fu Zhi's poverty and Professor Fu's wallet that she had emptied out. Forget it, it was alright, the main thing was that she couldn't afford the dowry now.
The dowry her grandfather left her had been spent by her, except for some things that were difficult to convert into cash.
Zhao Hanzhang touched his nose with a guilty conscience. When he came home from the palace after get off work, he talked about the matter with Fu Tinghan in the car, "...I don't know whether my grandfather is really in poor health or is using it as an excuse to test. I want to send someone to investigate." When I go to Chang'an, I want to ask about the wedding date, and invite him to come to Luoyang to attend the wedding."
Fu Tinghan was stunned for a moment and asked: "When do you plan to get married?"
"Years ago."
Fu Tinghan was a little panicked, "So fast?"
The situation has changed, and they may actually live together in the future. To be honest, Zhao Hanzhang feels a little uncomfortable and even hesitates.
This time is different from the time when he first came to this world. Zhao Hanzhang's so-called marriage is to make it easier for two people to be together, and it is based on cooperation.
So now, they are really going to form a family and become a real couple.
In the future, when husband and wife become one, she needs to enter his world, his life, his family, and his interpersonal relationships. She will be in contact with and even participate in them.
To be honest, even if it was more than enough to deal with state affairs, she was still a little uneasy at this time.
But seeing Fu Tinghan so panicked, Zhao Hanzhang calmed down.
After considering her own situation, her world is more complicated, her life and work, family and interpersonal relationships are more difficult to clarify. Isn't Fu Tinghan even more difficult than her?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hanzhang slowed down his tone and asked: "Are you nervous? How about delaying the time?"
"No need," Fu Tinghan had calmed down and nodded: "It was fine a year ago."
Zhao Hanzhang looked at his face carefully and saw that his face slowly turned red under her gaze without any sign of reluctance. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to invite Grandpa Fu."
After a pause, he said, "What do you think about Princess Hongnong?"
Fu Tinghan was slightly surprised, obviously he had never thought about this problem.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Shu is now in an independent state. Although they are safe in Shu, they are still under the control of others. I am afraid their life will not be easy."
"Before, the imperial court continued to struggle and the war continued, so we were unable to bring them back. But now that the war has subsided, we are the one who makes the decision on the imperial court's side, so we can negotiate with Shu and welcome Princess Hongnong and others back."
Fu Tinghan was silent for a moment and then said: "The relationship between him and his parents is somewhat alienated. After all, Princess Hongnong comes from the royal family. If she comes back with this status, will it have an impact on you?"
Zhao Hanzhang smiled when he heard this and said, "Do you know where the mother-in-law's influence on the daughter-in-law comes from?"
Fu Tinghan's eyes showed confusion.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Apart from the difference in status, the biggest influence comes from her son."
"Then, will you deal with me for her?"
Of course it won't.
Don't talk about him, even if he is the original person, he has his own persistence and will not be easily influenced by his parents.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "This is enough."
"Identity?" Zhao Hanzhang said calmly: "If I were someone who cared about identity and rules, I wouldn't be sitting in this position now."
Therefore, the suppression of status and secular rules are of no use to her. Fu Tinghan will not stand against Princess Hongnong because of her. She can just coax Princess Hongnong.
"Then bring them back," Fu Tinghan said, "This is also his responsibility."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and asked curiously: "In your memory, what is the relationship between him and his parents? Are you really not going to be discovered like this?"
Fortunately, Zhao Hanzhang had been pretending for a while at first, and Zhao Hezhen herself was not as well-behaved and virtuous as she appeared on the surface. The wonderful thing was that both Zhao Changyu and Wang knew this, so they never doubted her.
.
But Fu Tinghan...
He relied on the fact that Fu Zhi had not seen him for many years and did not know his grandson's specific character and personality, so that he could fool him. But if it were someone close to him...
Fu Tinghan said calmly: "The relationship between mother and son is not very harmonious, but I think Princess Hongnong and Fu Xuan understand him very well. However, after so many years, the Central Plains has been in war again. Isn't it normal for my personality to change drastically?"
Zhao Hanzhang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked: "How is your calligraphy practice going?"
Fu Tinghan gave her a look, "Don't worry."
Zhao Hanzhang was relieved.
Professor Fu never speaks without confidence, and it seems that he has practiced his calligraphy very well.
Back at Zhao's house, Zhao Hanzhang announced the matter at the dinner table. Wang was naturally happy, but also worried about marrying a daughter. She asked: "This matter is important. Should I tell my fifth uncle about your marriage?"
It needs to be managed by the clan."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will tell my fifth uncle."
But Zhao Song was not the first person Zhao Hanzhang notified, Ji Yuan and Ming Yu were.
Her marriage will have a great impact on the political situation, and she has to report it to her dear staff.
Since the war was settled, Ji Yuan and Ming Yu had already made preparations. At this time, they were just confirming the situation, so they did not panic at all. "The girl needs to confirm whether Zhao will change her position."
"And the Fu family, will they be too involved in political affairs?" Ming Yu said: "How will Fu Xuan arrange to take back Princess Hongnong? In addition to Fu Xuan, Governor Fu also has three other sons. I don't know if they are here at this time.
Where? If Mr. Fu comes to seek refuge, what will the girl do?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Everything is done in compliance with the new policies and laws of the imperial court. Privately, Tinghan and I volunteer to help them as much as we can in life."
Ming Yu and Ji Yuan looked at each other and asked, "Does Mr. Fu think so too?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "We are husband and wife, husband and wife are one body, so our thoughts are naturally the same."
Ji Yuan and Ming Yu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and praised each other: "As expected of Mr. Fu, he is broad-minded, peaceful and elegant."
Zhao Hanzhang:...Shouldn't we praise her for being selfless and caring for the world?
