But looking at Han Du's calm look, he didn't know why he suddenly felt short of breath. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly and said: "Now it's not whether there is a problem with dad, but whether there is a problem with the emperor. Even if you ask for marriage, you have to find someone who is not engaged. Why does it have to be Princess Anqing?"
Han Du glanced at his father indifferently, not wanting to explain to him. Is there any easy explanation for this kind of thing? To put it nicely, it’s love at first sight, to put it worst, it’s just that they’re in love with each other.
Seeing that Han Du didn't say a word, Han De was silent for a moment and sighed: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk about it anymore. But after all, this matter is related to the royal face. Do you think the emperor will make an exception for you and grant you permission? "
Of course this is impossible, Han Du shook his head slightly. If Lao Zhu wanted to fulfill himself, why didn't he borrow Po Xia Donkey? You know, the bargaining chip you have to ask for a marriage is not low. Not to mention meritorious deeds, just the bargaining chip of becoming a prince and being rewarded with tens of thousands of gold, even if it were an ordinary person, asking Lao Zhu for a marriage under such conditions, as long as he did not find someone who has already been granted a marriage like Han Du. Princess, I’m afraid Lao Zhu will consider it.
But it doesn’t matter if Lao Zhu doesn’t agree, he won’t give up. Thinking of this, Han Duyou said unconvincedly, "If the emperor doesn't agree now, it doesn't mean he won't agree in the future. It all depends on man-made things."
As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. So what if Lao Zhu doesn't agree now, he will always make him agree.
Hande took a deep look at Han Du, sighed and said, "But you are suspended now, and you can't do anything you want, so why are you doing that?"
Han Du's expression froze when he heard this.
Hande saw this, shook his head and said: "Sometimes the arms really can't hold the thighs. Taking a step back may not be a bad thing. You can do it yourself." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking.
Is it okay to take care of yourself? This is impossible, Han Du's face was a little dark, and he made up his mind.
When Han Jingyun saw that his father and eldest brother had finished talking, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, is your sister-in-law beautiful?"
Is sister-in-law beautiful? What is the question?
"Of course she's beautiful." Han Du looked at the girl fondly. Even putting aside her status as Princess Anqing, she can be regarded as a great beauty.
Although it was a little strange for Han Du to call sister Jingyun directly as sister-in-law Anqing, it also inspired Han Du's fighting spirit. Now that the girl recognizes her as sister-in-law, he should work hard not to disappoint the girl, but also to not let himself down.
But Han De didn't like Han Jingyun's words and scolded him, "What are you talking about? Your brother is in trouble here, so why don't you stop messing around here?" What else is called sister-in-law? The emperor doesn't even have one yet. Agreed, if I call her sister-in-law now, wouldn’t it make people laugh if word spread?
Han Jingyun was scolded by his father and felt a little aggrieved. Han Du saw her and said with a smile: "It's not too early to call my sister-in-law. Don't worry, my eldest brother will marry your sister-in-law back to you."
Han Jingyun smiled happily after hearing this.
Hande couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the two of them singing in unison, carelessly. How could it be so easy to make the emperor change his mind? And now this matter is not just the emperor's problem. Even if the emperor changes his mind and proposes Princess Anqing's marriage to Du'er, how can the family who originally proposed Princess Anqing's marriage agree to it? This matter is being taken advantage of by others, and we don’t know what kind of storm will happen if it starts to cause trouble.
Sure enough, Hande's worries were not unreasonable. Just one day later, all kinds of dirty information about Han Du began to spread throughout the capital.
Although Han Du was cautious in his words and deeds, he didn't have any dirty information to spread. But I can't stand the fact that the people who are spreading the news are not ethical. If there is black material to be passed on, but there is no black material about Han Du, even if it is arranged, it must be passed on. I heard, said, one of my uncle-in-law’s second cousin’s nephews said it, and so on…
Moreover, the common people were even more interested in these paradoxes. The more they listened, the more enthusiastic they became. After listening, they seemed to feel uncomfortable if they did not tell others. The hearts of the people in the entire capital were burning with gossip.
Han Du has appeared in the mouths of the people in the capital several times. The first time was when he was building a thirty-mile road in three days. The people were amazed and thought that Han Du was a capable official. After all, I have seen too many common people who are officials, but none of them can build a thirty-mile road in three days. Even now, when someone walks on that cement road, they will still sigh as if people are rushing to see this road.
The second time was when Han Du was eating seafood. The people who didn't know what was going on thought that Han Du was crazy because he was poor and even ate such things. But later, after the emperor forced all the officials to eat seafood at the court meeting, and because of the news that eating seafood had various benefits, he was deliberately let out. Only then did the people in the capital discover that these things could be eaten after being processed. Especially kelp, which was piled up on the dock outside the city. Some brave people tried to pick out the kelp, wash it, cook it and eat it, and found that it tasted extremely delicious. After one person dared to try it, other people naturally flocked to it. I heard that ships coming to the capital now would not just throw away the kelp, but would set up stalls and start selling it. Of course, the price is not high either, which attracts people to rush to buy it. Only later, after the seafood restaurant opened, did people realize that there was more to eat in the sea than just kelp. There are all kinds of seafood, which is overwhelming, but the price is too expensive. It is more expensive than eating noodles in an ordinary restaurant, and ordinary people have no chance to eat it. Ordinary people naturally have no chance to eat it, but they can't eat it with their mouths, but they can hear it with their ears. However, anyone who has been to the seafood restaurant will always look like they are lingering when they mention it. This can't help but make people curious, what kind of supreme delicacy is in the seafood restaurant?
The third time is now. Han Du's actions really shocked the people in the capital. You propose to marry yourself, and the marriage depends on your parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. How can you have any room to speak for yourself? But Han Du not only did it, but also raised it before the emperor. How much courage did this take? Moreover, the person proposed to marry was Princess Anqing, who was already engaged, which amazed the people even more. This is no longer a matter of courage, this is a matter of audacity! Some people approve of Han Du and think that Han Du is at least a man who dares to love and hate. However, in the eyes of those who abide by ethics, Han Du's move was treasonous and unethical, and not killing him would not make the people angry. Coupled with Ouyang Lun's friends who were fishing in troubled waters, in just a few days, the entire capital seemed to be performing a huge live drama. Everyone was an audience and everyone was an actor, and it was very lively.
