"Besides, even if they stay with the craftsmen every day, they are still big men. Women can't go inside the yamen, and their own sons can't see them."
The more Liu thought about it, the more it made sense.
But if women were sensible, the world would be at peace long ago.
Madam Liu understood, but she still wanted to be just in case.
So, he urged Han De, "Master, hurry up and ask what's going on. Only when you find out what's going on can I rest assured."
"Okay, I'll ask after I finish eating." Han De agreed and reached out to pick up the vegetables.
Who knew, but he was stopped by Mr. Liu. Take off his bowls and chopsticks and put them aside.
"My son's life-long event, how important is this?" Ms. Liu couldn't help scolding Han De, "Go and ask quickly, and then you can eat when you come back."
Seeing that Han De was still hesitant, Liu beat him like raindrops with his bare hands.
Han De sighed helplessly and stood up to find Han Du.
Han Du returned to the room, looking a little lost and worried, and put the brocade box on the table. Thinking about what my mother just said, I couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, they don't blame their mothers for being anxious. In their opinion, they are indeed too young and will be laughed at if they don't get married.
Originally, Han Du was also engaged, but because of his father, the whole family was punished. Naturally, the well-matched family quickly cut off their relationship with the Han family. Although the Han family is now alive again, the family can't get rid of this problem. The matter of the engagement was there, so naturally it was settled.
Now that his mother suddenly mentioned the marriage, Han Du felt irritated instinctively, and his mind couldn't help but think of Princess Anqing whom he met today.
Like, so much like Han Du's former wife.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Han Du came to his senses and said softly: "Who is it? Come in."
Hande opened the door.
When Han Du saw that his father was here, he quickly asked, "Dad, aren't you still eating? Why are you here?" Han Du was a little depressed and did not get up to greet his father.
Han De didn't care and came to sit next to Han Du.
"What are you going to eat? How can I eat like you are?"
Seeing that Han Du was indifferent and not listening to what he said, he raised his eyes and stared at Han Du for a few times, and suddenly asked: "What, do you really have a sweetheart? Is it a girl from that family?"
"Ah?" Han Du reacted and denied, "No, I don't have any sweetheart."
I don’t have a sweetheart, but I do have a wife in my heart.
Which one? Are you afraid of the emperor's family?
However, Princess Anqing was the emperor's daughter, so even if she told her father, there was nothing he could do. It was better not to tell him, so as not to make him worry.
Han De took a deep look at Han Du and sighed meaningfully: "You are not young anymore, and you are also an independent person. I don't want to say more about your affairs. You should understand it yourself."
"No." Han Du shook his head and said with great certainty. "I really don't have any children. If I do, I will definitely tell dad."
Hearing this, Han De smiled and said nonchalantly: "Okay, then I'll tell your mother this."
He stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the brocade box on the table.
"Hey, what is this stuff? Where did you get it from?"
With that said, he reached out to open the brocade box and took out the contents.
Seeing that his father finally didn't ask him aggressively, Han Du took a breath and replied casually, "A portrait, given by the emperor."
Hande was so shocked by Han Du's words that his hands shook and he almost dropped the portrait in his hand. He widened his eyes and asked Han Du: "Given by the emperor? What portrait?"
After asking, he immediately opened the portrait without waiting for Han Du's answer.
Seeing Lao Zhu's true appearance emerging little by little, Han De's hand shook more and more violently, as if shaking a sieve.
"Why did the emperor give you the real portrait?"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had been given portraits of himself in the past, the recipients were all important ministers who had made great contributions in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and were absolutely trusted confidants of the emperor. For example, the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, was once given a portrait by Lao Zhu.
People like Chengyibo Liu Ji, who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang all his life, did not get the opportunity to be given a portrait. Although his merits were sufficient, it was obvious that the emperor did not trust him enough.
His son actually received a portrait from the emperor, although Hande didn't know what was going on. But now he only has one feeling, that is, the smoke is coming out of his ancestral grave, and the Han family's success is just around the corner.
"Hahaha, there is no rush about my son's marriage. This matter cannot be rushed. It cannot be rushed. You have to find someone who is well-matched. Yes, it is a well-matched one..."
Han De thought a lot in an instant. Only Han Du was an official in his family, but he was only an eighth-grade official. He could barely be considered an ordinary official family. If Han Du wants to get married now, he can only find an ordinary official family.
Originally, Hande was not dissatisfied with this, but the moment he saw the emperor's portrait, he didn't think so.
If his son can be taken as a confidant by the emperor, is the day when he will rise to prominence still far away?
At this time, if you tell your son about a marriage from an ordinary official family, isn't this setting your son up for death?
"You don't have to worry about your mother. I'll go talk to her. You can just take care of the marriage yourself and don't rush it."
When Han Du saw his father's excitement, he knew that he had misunderstood. I had no choice but to sigh and explain to my father: "Dad, you misunderstood. Things are not what you think..."
So Han Du told his father the purpose of the portrait.
"It's that simple. It's not as complicated as you think, dad." Han Du finished.
After hearing this, Han De still maintained the original happy expression on his face, and was not affected by what Han Du said at all.
"I know what's going on, I know better than you, so just leave it alone."
Seeing his father's explanation, Han Du looked disapproving, so he had to remind him: "It's up to you, but I'll talk about my son's ugly words first. If you are disappointed then, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"I know, I know. You have only been an official for a few days, and you dare to teach me a lesson. I have seen more things than you have ever eaten." Han De was a little annoyed after being told, and waved his hand to interrupt Han. Spend.
After saying that, he opened the portrait and looked at it again and again, nodded and sighed: "This is the true face of the emperor. I never thought that one day my old Han family would also be given the true face. We need to make room for this and worship it properly. Don't neglect it." ”
After saying that, regardless of whether Han Du agreed or not, he solemnly put the portrait back into the brocade box, picked it up and headed out.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Han Du quickly stopped his father. "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Of course I have to enshrine the portrait." Hande said holding the brocade box.
Han Du looked at his father speechlessly, took his arm and said, "Dad, this portrait was given by the emperor to his son. If you just take it and enshrine it, what should I use it for?"
Han De immediately put Han Du's hand away and said, "You are useless now. It will be the same if I ask you to come out when you need it." After saying that, he ignored Han Du and turned around to go out.
When Hande returned to the hall, the Liu family were still eating.
Mrs. Liu saw him coming back with a brocade box in her hand. This brocade box looks familiar. Isn't it the one Du'er held while eating?
"Master, how are you going to ask? And what are you doing with Du'er's things?"
Han De solemnly placed the brocade box on the main seat, then returned to the dining table and sat down. After picking up the bowl and chopsticks, he said, "I asked, but I didn't say anything. But Madam, you'd better not worry about his affairs. You should also put down the matchmaking for Du'er for now, and wait. We'll talk about it after a while. Let's eat. ,Have a meal......"
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she was immediately unhappy. What do you mean by letting yourself go? Han Du is his son, who cares about his marriage?
Suddenly his face began to turn gloomy.
When Han Jingyun and Han Shu saw their mother's expression, they both said, "Mom, Dad, I've finished eating."
"Well," Hande looked at the two of them with a smile, waved and said, "Okay, let's go down."
The two left quickly.
Hande squinted his eyes to watch his children leave, lowered his head and picked up the bowls and chopsticks to continue eating.
Mr. Liu stopped him and said, "Tell me, what do you mean by waiting?"
Han De glanced at Mrs. Liu impatiently, "Madam, are you going to let people eat?"
"What to eat? Please tell me clearly about your son quickly. Don't eat if you can't explain clearly." Mrs. Liu was not afraid of Han De, so she straightened her eyebrows and said.
Han De put down the bowl helplessly and explained to Mrs. Liu: "Your son is going to be successful, and Jane is in the emperor's heart. If you find him a well-matched family now, wouldn't you be treating your son badly?"
After hearing this, Mr. Liu asked happily: "You mean Du'er is going to be promoted?"
You can't control other people's sons, but your own sons are naturally the most promising. This is a reflection of every mother’s heart.
"It's not that simple," Han De said with a chuckle. Seeing that Liu wanted to continue asking, he quickly waved his hand to stop her, "Okay, don't ask. I don't know what the specific situation is, sir. Even if you know it, I can’t tell you. You just need to wait quietly and it will be fine.”
Seeing that Han De said it seriously and that it was related to her son, Mrs. Liu just let it go and stopped entangled, even if she was a little unwilling.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu finally calmed down, Han De picked up the bowls and chopsticks and continued eating.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and while eating, he ordered Mrs. Liu, "By the way, it will be of great use if you ask someone to clean up a room."
"What's the use?" Ms. Liu didn't know why, she was cleaning up some house for no reason.
Hande finished the meal and felt that he was finally done eating, so he stopped using his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and cleaned up.
