"Then what are you going to do next?" Zhu Biao looked at Han Du with a smile, as if he had seen through Han Du's thoughts.

Han Du immediately laughed knowingly when he heard this, nodded to Zhu Biao and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from His Highness."

This sentence is equivalent to Han Du admitting that he still has thoughts on this matter.

After pondering for a while, Han Du said: "Those who directly choose to go back to their hometowns should not have any ulterior motives. These people can be let go and ignored. But those who choose to stay need to pay attention, especially Lan Ping behaves abnormally, and I suspect that he and Lan Yu have something to do with what Lan Yu did to Concubine Yuan, and how he sent troops to break through Xifeng Pass."

"What? Are you saying that uncle's affair with Yuan Fei and Xifengguan were all framed?" Zhu Biao's expression suddenly changed. If these are all related to Lan Ping, then Lan Ping is Not to be underestimated.

Facing Zhu Biao's gaze, Han Du looked a little dazed and couldn't get an idea, so he had to say: "These are just my guesses. I was not present at the beginning, but there is no evidence that it was him. However, this person must focus on Under surveillance."

Zhu Biao pondered for a while, grabbed Han Du's wrist, and pulled him into the carriage.

"Let's go, let's go see our father now."

Han Du was led by Zhu Biao and met Lao Zhu who was having a meal in Kunning Palace.

After listening to Zhu Biao and Han Du's words, Lao Zhu just said lightly, "I know" and said nothing further.

Han Du glanced at Lao Zhu and saw that Lao Zhu had no other expression. He couldn't figure out what Lao Zhu was thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Han Du smiled and bowed down, "Then, I will take my leave."

Lao Zhu did not nod to let Han Du leave. Instead, he raised his head and looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat?" Han Du didn't understand what Lao Zhu meant, so he could only subconsciously reply: "No, not yet."

"Since there isn't one, let's sit down and eat." Lao Zhu pointed to the position in front of Han Du.

Han Du didn't know how to reply. He looked up at Zhu Biao, hoping that he could give him an idea.

Queen Ma looked at Han Du, smiled, and said, "The emperor asked you to sit down, so just sit down. We are all a family, why are you so reserved?"

"Thank you, empress." Han Du didn't know where to place his hands, and sat down on the stool nervously. I don’t want to be so reserved, but I can’t help but be nervous when facing Lao Zhu.

Zhu Biao, on the other hand, didn't even need to be greeted by Lao Zhu, he just sat down by himself, as if he was eating in his East Palace.

Han Du couldn't help but look at Zhu Biao twice, a little envious of his unrestrained behavior in front of Lao Zhu.

Han Du was very nervous during the meal and didn't eat much at all. After Lao Zhu finished eating, Han Du got up and left while he was drinking tea.

Lao Zhu did not stay with Han Du anymore. After Han Du left, he shouted behind him: "Here comes someone."

Mao Xiang immediately walked out from the side, knelt down in front of Lao Zhu, and said excitedly: "Please give me your permission, Your Majesty."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Lan Ping and find out what's going on with him." Lao Zhu lightly flicked his fingers on the edge of the tea cup a few times.

"According to the order."

A few days later, all Lan Ping's information was placed in front of Lao Zhu. Including where he is from, what his original surname is, who else is in his family, how he joined the army, and how he met Lan Yu and became Lan Yu's adopted son, all are recorded in detail. Even the person Han Du mentioned may be related to the Yuan Fei incident and the Xifengguan incident, but it was also found out. However, in this booklet, both incidents have reasonable explanations, and there are both witnesses and physical evidence, so there is absolutely no possibility of falsehood.

When Lao Zhu saw it, he just frowned and didn't say much. I casually brushed this information aside and soon lost sight of it, no longer paying attention to it.

...

The daylight was bright, and Han Du was still attached to the bed.

An Qing's hair was disheveled and he looked at Han Du who was sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face. After a while, he became playful and took a piece of his own hair and poked it into Han Du's nostrils.

In just a few breaths, Han Du suddenly felt a huge pressure on him.

"Ah sneeze!!!"

His chest was hurt by the strong vibration. He opened his eyes angrily and wanted to find the instigator to vent his anger, but suddenly he met An Qing's eyes. His furious anger was like a deflated rubber ball, which quickly deflated.

Stretching and looking out the window, Han Du said with some complaint: "It's still early, why did you wake me up?"

An Qing curled his lips, frowned, reached out and hit Han Du's exposed chest. "How is it early? I'm afraid my parents have finished their meal now. It's all your fault. You have to sleep until three o'clock every day and don't get up until three o'clock in the morning. Even if you ask me to get breakfast, you can't eat it."

Han Du was immediately discouraged after hearing this, and leaned into the quilt a few times, "If you want to eat, you can eat it, but I won't eat it anyway."

Seeing that Han Du wanted to bury himself under the quilt, An Qing was stunned and stunned. After he came to his senses, he tried his best to drag Han Du. "Get up, get up... accompany me to dinner."

Seeing that Han Du couldn't be pulled, An Qing angrily slapped Han Du several times with his palm.

But facing An Qing's painless slap, Han Du was even more fearless.

A dull voice came from the bed, "If you don't go, I still want to sleep. If you want to go, you can go alone."

An Qing angrily hammered Han Du several times, but Han Du remained indifferent.

Suddenly, An Qing's beautiful eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, and he quietly reached into the quilt.

"Ouch~"

A moment later, Han Du screamed loudly and rolled away from An Qing. He quickly rubbed his waist and eyes with his palms, looked at An Qing in horror, and asked angrily: "What are you doing? Murdering your husband?"

"Are you going?" An Qing raised his face and stared.

"Go~" Han Du replied feebly. After being stimulated by An Qing like this, he no longer felt sleepy. What else could he do if he didn't accompany her to dinner?

After hearing this, An Qing happily called the maid outside to come in and change clothes for the two of them.

Han Du brought An Qing to the inner hall. The maids on the side were so surprised that they could not open their mouths from ear to ear when they saw Han Du coming to have breakfast for the first time.

Hande was also very surprised, but he was determined enough and didn't look too much. He just ordered the maid aside: "Go get two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

The maid suddenly turned around and quickly turned around and left.

After Han Du sat down for a moment, the maid came back with bowls and chopsticks, and even took the initiative to serve Shanghai soup for Han Du and An Qing.

Han Du took the soup bowl, lowered his head and blew on it to test the temperature. It was not hot. Seduced by the delicious taste of kelp soup, I couldn't help but take a sip. He turned it around in his mouth a few times before slowly swallowing it. A satisfied warmth rose from my stomach, which was very comfortable.

An Qing's face was full of joy. She couldn't wait for the maid to help, so she took a little of everything she liked and put it in front of her. Steamed buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks...she likes everything.

It was only after An Qing came to the Han family that he really discovered that eating was such an interesting thing. In the past, in the palace, she almost always ate alone, while everyone else stood aside to serve her. Moreover, the food in the palace was almost cold by the time it was delivered to her because she hesitated to stay away from the imperial kitchen.

Eating cold dishes and rice every day, no matter how delicious the food was, her delicate body couldn't stand it.

After Hande finished eating, he drank the tea carefully. Suddenly he asked Han Du: "Are you free today?"

Han Du is basically idle at home now. Where can he have no time? Han De asked this question just because he cared about Han Du's thoughts.

Han Du nodded while eating, and asked: "What's the matter, Dad? What's the matter?"

"Our family has also obtained the land deed given by the emperor. I have also told Muda what we should plant. But if you have any ideas, if you have time, why not go and take a look." Hande said calmly. , and I didn’t expect to go to Handu. Han Du, who has been studying since childhood, is completely unfamiliar with farming. Han De doesn't think he has any ideas. However, after all, Han Du is the head of the family in this family, and there are some things that cannot be ignored, at least to show to the servants.

Han Du nodded and responded to his father.

After dinner, Bian and An Qing got into the carriage together, and headed towards the Han family's land under the driving of Uncle Mu.

"Don't you have an appointment with Yao Yue today?" Han Du was a little surprised that An Qing actually offered to accompany him to see the place. You know, these days, Anqing is running out all day long, just to find Yaoyue.

"Yao~Yue~" An Qing deliberately prolonged his voice, looking at Han Du teasingly, with a smile on his face. "The shouting is really kind. My husband, do you have any thoughts about sister Yaoyue?"

"What do I think? You should tell me." Han Du laughed dumbly, looked at An Qing in amusement, and asked provocatively.

An Qing's face suddenly darkened, he became unhappy, and said in a bad tone: "I don't know about that, Princess Yao Yue. Sister Yao Yue is as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth. Not to mention a man, I am a woman, and I am shocked. I can't help feeling pity. My husband...don't you have any ideas?"

Han Du looked at An Qing curiously and worriedly, and suddenly felt funny. After a pause, he asked with a smile: "Then let me ask you, did you get to know Yao Yue first, or did I get to know Yao Yue first?"

An Qing didn't know why Han Du asked this, and replied without hesitation: "Of course you got to know Sister Yao Yue first. I heard from Sister Yao Yue that when you were in charge of the Jiaofang Division, you saved her life. .”

"Then I've known her for so long, have you ever heard of anything going on between me and her?" Han Du continued to ask.

An Qing tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Hmm~ I've never heard of this."

Han Du immediately raised his head and scratched An Qing's smooth forehead, "Isn't that it? If your husband really had an idea, could he wait until now?"

"That's right~" An Qing reached out to cover his burning forehead and said sheepishly.

The two of them stopped mentioning this and talked and laughed all the way to the place.

"Hello~" Muda raised the reins, turned over and got off the car, and squeezed the reins tightly.

He knocked lightly on the door beam of the carriage and reminded softly: "Master Marquis, we have arrived."

"Yes." A steady breathing came from the carriage. After a moment, Han Du opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage. He turned around and reached out, leading An Qing out of the carriage.

Several people walked towards the foot of Zhongshan Mountain and came to a hillside. Han Du nodded with satisfaction and said, "This place is good, very suitable for building a horse farm."

"Racecourse? Does the Marquis want to raise horses? It would be a huge waste to use such a good land to raise horses. It is best to grow cotton here. At the current price of cotton, one acre of land can produce more than ten pounds per year. Where are the profits." Muda felt heartbroken when he heard that Han Du said he wanted to build a racecourse here. He was also born as a farmer and has a special affection for the land. He is willing to use every bit of land to the extreme.

Taking the best land to build a racecourse like Han Du was a deplorable wasteful behavior for Muda. But these lands belong to the Han family, not him. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only make suggestions from the side.

Anqing knew nothing about farming. In her opinion, whether it was building a horse farm or growing cotton, as long as Han Du was happy. Anyway, it is impossible for the Han family to live on the produce of this land now. What is it used for?
