Han Qi was so confident that he didn't even come out to eat supper.

Mrs. Han Er was very happy and made a late-night snack to comfort her son.

"Aqi, come and have some soup." Mrs. Han Er carefully served the old duck soup and skipped the oil on it. "My mother started stewing it in the morning, it smells fragrant!"

Han Qi took a look and felt weak: "I don't have an appetite."

Mrs. Han Er patiently comforted: "Don't worry, marriage is a matter of love and willingness. If you don't agree, can they force a grudge? It's really not possible, I'll ask your uncle for your mother."

Han Qi shook his head: "No, mom, this marriage will definitely not be done. They are doing well, I have no chance."

"Is it your cousin willing to marry him?" Mrs. Han Er nodded, "That's all! According to me, your grandmother and others have too much care. No matter how bad the fourth son of Lou is, he is also a close minister of the emperor. How many people are willing to give up on such an opportunity? If they don't want to cling to the powerful, they think others don't want to cling to them?"

This sounded unpleasant, and Han Qi frowned: "Mother, what did you say? My cousin is not that kind of person."

Mrs. Han Er was unhappy: "Didn't you say it? Your cousin is willing."

"Who said that if you want to marry, you are competing with the powerful? Then Lou Si is not bad. What kind of character is not better than me? Fortunately, he has a bad reputation, otherwise he would not have been robbed..."

After talking about it, Han Qi couldn't help but feel sour.

Although he didn't ask for this marriage, it was really uncomfortable to watch him being compared.

Mrs. Han Er was surprised: "Why did you speak for that Lou Si?"

Han Qi thought, was he willing to speak for Lou Si? It’s not that the matter is too cruel, and he couldn’t even recognize him if he didn’t want to...

"Anyway, mom, don't worry, grandmother and the others will understand in a few days."

...

Seeing that something went wrong with Master Han, the Han family could only temporarily leave Chi Yun's affairs.

However, they have not returned to Beijing for many years, so their connections are really hard to do.

Most of my old friends were not in Beijing, and their relationship with relatives faded. They still found nothing after running around for several days.

Finally, Master Han contacted an old friend and invited him to have a drink.

When he was drunk, he told the matter and the friend said, "Old Han, you look down on me too much! I have been in a mess in the past few years. If I had connections in this area, how could I still be a small manager today?"

Master Han sighed and nodded: "I just said that, it doesn't matter if I don't, drink."

The friend squinted his drunken eyes and looked at him, and smiled and said, "Although I don't have any connections, you have one!"

Master Han was stunned.

But I heard him say, "Aren't you in-laws with the Chi family?"

The original words of this, Master Han said, "But my brother-in-law has passed away. Chi Er Chi San can't even tell me clearly!"

"Who told you about them?" he waved his hand and said, "Your brother-in-law is gone, but your niece is here! She is now the eldest princess's adorable daughter. As long as she is willing to say something for you, will this matter be solved?"

Mr. Han shook his head: "She has a daughter's family, without parents' care, and life is difficult enough. After finally winning the favor of the eldest princess, we will come to the door again. What if the eldest princess is disliked?"

This person disagreed: "You underestimate her too much! Let me tell you that the eldest princess is for her, but even Princess Kang dares to tear her down, and her biological daughter is just like this."

Princess Kang was plotting against Chi Yun, and although she had blocked her mouth, she could leak a little more or less. In addition, the bandit incident, a discerning person could naturally see that there was something wrong with it.

"What's more, I heard a little bit of wind recently." He came over very gossipedly, "Did you know about Concubine Beixiang returning to Beijing? I heard it was for her son who was expelled from the house. Concubine Beixiang and the eldest princess have had a hot date recently, and it seems that she intends to marry. The eldest princess has no children, so this marriage will fall on your niece?"

When Master Han heard this, his face turned dark.

His friend was very excited and continued, "That Fourth Young Master Lou has done a great job in the past few years. His Majesty is extremely handsome. Not to mention helping you clear your relationship, even if you directly promote you, it will be just a matter of one word."

"Enough." Master Han could no longer listen and said with a face, "You and I have a good relationship every day, why did you say such things? Not to mention whether their marriage will be successful, how could I ask for him?"

This man knew his temper, but he was not angry, and he just advised him with great sincerity: "Why are you still like a stubborn donkey? Are there any simple things in the court? I was like you, thinking that he was planning to seize the title of brother and the title of prince, and he had to escape because he failed. But when the Concubine Beixiang came, he defended him in front of the imperial court and beat the censor. I see that there must be some inside information."

Master Han knew that Concubine Beixiang was coming, but he didn't know about the crime of beating the censor, so he was stunned for a moment.

I only heard my friend sigh: "I have been open to the ups and downs over the years. It may not be as good as others say, but it may not be as bad as others say. If others say bad, it may not be as bad as others say bad. I have never done any unethical things. At the time of the Ministry of Justice, I have repeatedly solved strange cases. My reputation is so bad that I am nothing more than what I think. I have brought down some people, but if he doesn't do those things, he will take over them. If he enters this circle, who is completely clean? If he sticks to principles, he will not turn a blind eye to some things."

Master Han was silent.

After returning from the wine, Mrs. Han heard him sigh and advised, "Don't be anxious, we have just returned to Beijing, take our time."

Master Han nodded and said yes.

Although I felt a little shaken after hearing what my friend said today, I would never ask him to change his mind and ask others for help.

The next day, he went to the Ministry of Personnel to inquire about the news.

"Oh, Lao Han, here again!" The gatehouse of the Ministry of Personnel has always been the most lively. Some people come every day, like Dianmao. When they come, they can't see anyone, so they can only sit in the gatehouse to drink tea. They drink for several days, but they won't be cooked.

Master Han was ready to wait for a day and smiled at them, "I'm still interested in chatting with a few of you guys, but I'm here?"

The people around him laughed and made fun of the bitterness.

They all have no way, so they will come to the Ministry of Personnel to wait for news day by day.

Mr. Han just sat down and was ready to have a day of tea when a minor official came over there.

The officials in the room immediately stopped to talk and looked at him eagerly.

Who are you going to invite in?

The clerk glanced around and asked, "Can the former Lizhou magistrate Han Xuanhan be there?"

Master Han was completely unprepared until he was pushed and realized that he called him.

He quickly stood up: "I'm here."

The minor official bowed and replied, "Mr. I'm welcome."

When the little official went out, several familiar officials looked at him with jealousy: "Old Han, when did you get through the path of the Minister of the Secretariat?"

Master Han was confused, he didn't know either!
