Han Jian didn't want Han Song to intervene in Yang Xiuxiu's affairs, because this would make his relationship with Yang Rui continue to become rigid. He could only temporarily put the matter down and wait until all parties calm down before talking about taking Yang Xiuxiu into the mansion.

For several days, Han Jian neither went to Ning Xiuyan nor went to the palace to communicate with Yang Rui again. As a war in the north was about to begin, all he needed to do was wait for news from the front line in Luoyang. When he could not come to the battlefield in person, he also needed to do something to take care of the situation on the front line.

He could still use Lin Zhan's troops, but Su Tingxia's troops had already cut off contact after the news of their defeat.

Seeing that Lin Zhan's troops were approaching the border in early October, Beichuan City, the capital of the Beiwang Mansion, had less pressure from the Xianbei people and the court, and gradually began to recover.

Several military meetings were discussing strategic measures on the front line in a day. Han Jian basically participated in these meetings, but he rarely spoke. There were great uncertainties on the front line, which mainly came from the unclear movements of Su Tingxia's troops and the movements of the Xianbei people. He could only hope that Lin Zhan's troops could make a difference in the north for the time being.

"Young Master, the princess of the county said that you would go back to the mansion. People from Jiangdu will set off tomorrow. The princess of the county said that there is something to discuss with you."

Han Jian went out early and came back late for several days, but Han Song still found an opportunity to tell Han Jian about Yang Xiuxiu. At the same time, she also mentioned another thing, which was about letting Song Suqing, the eldest daughter of the Song family of the Jiangdu Weapons, enter the mansion.

"When you go back, tell the princess of the county that she will wait for the evening if she wants to go back. She is busy now and can't get rid of her body."

Han Jian didn't want to go back, and Han Song seemed to be very concerned about not being able to accept Yang Xiuxiu's entry into the mansion. This was completely contrary to Yang Rui's attitude. When Yang Rui learned that Yang Xiuxiu was "robbed" by Han Jian, he was not only angry but also "cold treatment" of the East Prince's Mansion. Perhaps because of his sulkingness in his heart, Han Jian did not enter the palace, so she simply did not send anyone to invite him. This made some ministers in the court realize that there seemed to be some article behind it. However, the fact that Han Jian took Yang Xiuxiu away did not spread, and the knowledge was limited to very few people.

It was not until sunset that Han Jian returned to the mansion. At this time, the Dongwang Mansion was very lively. The gentry and wealthy families who came to the capital came to Jiangdu to say goodbye one day in advance because they had to escort them back to Jiangdu. They would definitely come to the mansion to say goodbye one day in advance. Another family dinner party was to be served. Han Song did a grand job of receiving the reception, fearing that they would neglect these "people" in Jiangdu.

This time, there were not as many people coming to celebrate the first time that the Dongwang Mansion had added heirs. There was basically only one person in each household, mainly the head of the family or the eldest son. On the other hand, Song Suqing and Song family heads arrived together.

Han Jian did not pass by the main courtyard, but went directly through the side courtyard corridor to the inner courtyard. However, he was stopped by Han Song on the way.

"Why don't you come back to see the guests?" Han Song had only a maid with a lantern to accompany him. Han Jian could see that Han Song came to talk to him after he knew that Han Song had come back from the mansion's wise guest.

Han Jian said: "I've been too busy these days. I want to rest early when I come back and have no time to meet guests."

"If anyone else doesn't see you, you should meet the little girl of the Song family, right?" Han Song said. "The little girl of the Song family needs to be good-looking and talented. Whether she helps you in charge of weapons casting or is a good wife, she is the best choice. Isn't this more realistic than a princess or a woman outside?"

"Did Er Niang think about Miss Song?" Han Jian asked back.

"A man is married when he is old and a woman is married when he is old. The little girl of the Song family has not been married yet. The Song family intends to send her to the Dongwang Mansion. What can she have for the sake of a little girl? Don't go to the inner courtyard today. It is to give Er Niang a face. If you can't express your opinion today, the little girl of the Song family will go back to Jiangdu tomorrow."

Han Jian thought to himself that it was Han Song who was forcing him to express his opinion.

He had already intentionally arranged for Song Suqing to stay in Luoyang and temporarily be responsible for helping the court inspect weapons. After all, he was from a weapon family. With experience and ability in this area, the court also lacked such special talents. Moreover, with the relationship between the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Han Jian wanted to value Song Suqing, and no one dared to say anything.

"I have already explained before that I will let Miss Song stay in Luoyang first." Han Jian said, "Don't interfere with Ernie."

Han Songshi said: "There are not many people coming here this time. If you want to keep the Song family's little girl in Luoyang, what will others think? How difficult is it to give her a title? It's not that you will be more devoted to her. Even if you keep it around as a maid, it will be better than to let the Song family feel disappointed. Now those people are watching you."

While talking, Han Jian noticed that a breath was approaching this side. He looked in the direction where the breath came, but Song Suqing came over with two maids. He was very elegant in appearance and was indeed a model of a lady from a wealthy family.

"Jian'er, Ren Er Niang brought you here, don't care about your life. However, Er Niang has already told the people of the Song family that people will enter the East Prince's Mansion. You should win people's hearts and cannot be pushed out of the door."

Han Jian sighed and said that it was a forced melon that was not sweet. He has experienced this sentence recently.

When it comes to Yang Xiuxiu's affairs, he is forced to get into trouble. Although Song Suqing seems to have no forced to get involved, it is a lifelong event for Miss Song's family. He and Song Qing have not yet reached the point of talking about marriage, but Han Song insists on getting involved and implementing the matter.

After saying that, Han Song left and said that he was going to entertain guests in the front yard, and leaving Song Suqing to Han Jian was equivalent to asking Han Jian to "dispose at will". This statement is very subtle. To put it bluntly, even if Han Jian married Song Suqing now and spent the night with him at night, no one would say anything. Instead, Han Song and the people in the Song family felt that things were done.

"Young Master..."

Song Suqing seemed very nervous because she also knew what she was facing. Now she no longer faced the Lord as a subject, but faced her future husband as a future concubine. The tension in her heart was beyond words.

"Speak inside." Han Jian did not directly say that he looked at Song Suqing, but signaled her to go to the side hall.

When the two of them arrived at the side hall together, Han Jian and his two aunts were chatting and laughing inside. When they saw Han Jian coming, the two aunts left very consciously, so as not to disturb Han Jian's good things.

"Sit." Han Jian said.

"Men's daughter dare not." Song Suqing lowered her head and said.

"What's there to be afraid of? This place is not a court, but a villa in the capital. It is naturally not as good as the East Prince's Mansion in Jiangdu. If you come here often in the future, you must be more familiar with it." Han Jian sat down and then signaled that Song Suqing would sit down on the chair beside him.

Song Suqing is also a clever person in her heart. She can grasp some meaning from Han Jian’s words.

Han Jian said, "I come often in the future", but he did not say that she would stay in the Eastern Palace directly, which means that Han Jian did not intend to marry her immediately. But it was not that he refused her, and she could still come to the Eastern Palace from now on. But this may just be a statement that Han Jian wanted to calm her emotions and might not take it seriously.

It is hard to say whether he can come in the future, but Han Jian is in front of him if he doesn't accept her now. She still feels a little disappointed, and then follows what Han Jian said and sits on the chair next to Han Jian. This makes her even more nervous.

The maid brought the tea and immediately stepped down, and even the door was closed. Han Jian guessed that it was probably what Han Song told him. There was no room for Song Suqing in the inner courtyard yet. Han Jian came back on weekdays and chose a room to enter. Han Jian himself didn't even have his own room. If Han Jian really wanted to have something with Song Suqing, he didn't even have an occasion, and it seemed that this side hall was a good place.

Han Jianxin said, maybe that's what Han Song thought.

"Ms. Song, I told you before that you would stay in Luoyang and help cast and inspect weapons at the military office. I wonder what to think about?" Han Jian asked calmly.

In order to show respect, Song Suqing turned his head slightly to face Han Jian, and said with a tight grip: "The young woman dare not take the initiative in this matter. She obeys everything... the young master and the princess of the county."

Han Jian smiled helplessly and said, "Although you are a woman, women can also have their own choices and don't have to obey others in everything. Now I'm just asking you, do you have the intention to stay in Luoyang?"

"I..." Song Suqing remained silent for a moment.

Obviously, she had never considered this kind of problem.

Han Jian didn't force it, after all, it was a woman's own choice. Staying in Luoyang would mean that she would leave her hometown and not even have a relative around her. If she could enter the Dongwang Mansion, she would still be able to support her, but if she couldn't enter the Dongwang Mansion, she would be alone. Han Jian thought about it himself, and even felt that this was a bit unfair to a woman.

"The young woman is willing to stay." Song Suqing said firmly in the end.

Han Jian said: "Aren't you afraid that you have no relatives around you, be alone and helpless, and be busy with business, which makes you bother?"

Song Suqing lowered her head, feeling a little sad, and said, "The girl in the civilians... is also afraid."

Han Jian smiled, and Song Suqing was not saying anything against his will in this regard.

Han Jian looked at Song Suqing and said, "Look at me."

Song Suqing then raised her head a little, but did not dare to look at Han Jian in front of her, and her eyes were always lowered.

Han Jian said: "This pure and flawless jade is also deceiving yourself if I say I am not moved. You should also know what my second wife and your family mean, to let you enter the Dongwang Mansion and be my concubine. I don't want to force you. In the future, you don't have to go anywhere else. You can live directly in the Dongwang Mansion. I treat you with the courtesy of guests, and wait for each other to become more familiar with and understand more, and then you can choose whether to stay."

When Song Suqing heard Han Jian's words, she finally breathed a little relieved. Though she could not be said to be a partial concubine of the Eastern King in the future, she could still be a "guest" in the Eastern King's Mansion. At least at night, she would not even have a place to stay. There was a bunch of strangers around her, except looking south to her hometown.
