Chapter 293 Not married yet?

Empress Dowager Zheng propped her hands against the edge of the table, looked at him and said, "Did she read the letter I sent you?"

"No."

Empress Dowager Zheng raised her lips, then stood up straight, pushed him away, walked back to sit on the couch, and said: "Then what do you think? There are quite a lot of people in the two guards.

"Let's not talk about the supply of weapons. Just this personnel, who have fought for seven or eight years, have only been stable for about ten years now. It is not so easy to recruit more than ten thousand people."

"It's still possible." Han Dun turned his head and stared at the screen, and said, "The military guards are royal guards, and the treatment they enjoy is good. As long as the timing is right and you add a little more kindness, more than ten thousand people are no problem. .

"But the problem now is to find an appropriate title to form this army.

"If the name is not right and the words are not right, the Xiao family father and son will not agree."

After listening to the silence, Queen Mother Zheng asked for a moment, "Is Jihan planning to get married?"

Han Dun frowned, raised his upper body and said, "I haven't reported it to the Ministry of Rites yet."

Having said this, he paused for a while thoughtfully, then stood up suddenly, and said, "I still have something to do, I'm leaving the palace first. You should rest earlier."

Empress Dowager Zheng said: "When will you come again?"

Han Dun stopped under the curtain and turned back, and said in a gentle voice: "If there is nothing important, I won't come before the funeral. Although the palace is guarded by the twelve guards of the pro-army, after all, it is very careful to sail for thousands of years.

"Be careful with the emperor, he's grown up too."

Empress Dowager Zheng nodded and watched him go out.

When Han Dun returned to the mansion, both the east and west courtyards had fallen asleep.

Even so, he still called Tan Ji in his sleep to the study: "Do you know why Xiao Jihan hasn't proposed getting married yet?"

Tan Jilue thought about it, and said: "It is said that he is still going through the six ceremonies, and has not yet been hired."

Han Dun frowned: "It's been half a year, and you haven't been hired yet?"

Tan Ji said: "Both the father and son in Yan Wangfu's temperament are free-spirited, and He Lanzhun and the others are handling the marriage and engagement of the eldest son. If the eldest son does not urge himself, the prince will not urge him, so the palace will take care of it slowly."

"There's no reason." Han Dun leaned back in his chair and said, "I could see clearly that day in the waterside pavilion that Xiao Huai was hard to let go of Shen Xi, and logically he would only wish to get married as soon as possible, absolutely not. No reason to rush."

Ning Mei thought for a while, and he looked over: "You'd better give Wen Yuanzheng a word and ask him to find out what he said. Now is the time to find each other's loopholes, so don't take it lightly."

Tan Ji's jaw dropped.

Han Dun stared out of the window for a while, then got up and went back to his room.

Although Mu's room was not the same as his, she still opened her eyes in the dark night when the people in the courtyard next door came back.

Every year at the end of the year, there will be more government affairs.

In addition, Han Dun was not in the court, and many things could not be decided by the court, so the same thing often took two or three days to reach a conclusion.

It was already Chen Shi when the court was over, Xiao Huai walked out of the Qianqing Palace and walked directly outside the Meridian Gate.

As soon as he arrived outside Chengtianmen, he was about to walk towards the carriage parked at the other end of the Jinshui River, when he was suddenly called out on the Wanggong Bridge: "Your Majesty, please stay!"

Xiao Huai stopped, and saw Wen Yuanzheng, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, approaching him with a smile.

Xiao Huai said, "Master Wen, what's the matter?"

Wen Yuan laughed and said: "I know that the prince is busy with military affairs, but I really have something to ask the prince. Seeing that it is the end of the year, the palace has not come to report the election date of the prince's wedding.

"There are no wedding rules in the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month. If you dare to ask the eldest son, do you want to hold the wedding in this month? You should hurry up and prepare."

Xiao Huai squinted at him: "I haven't even prepared the dowry that Shi Zifei wants, what's the hurry?"

Wen Yuan laughed and said: "Isn't this official also looking forward to the son and the concubine giving birth to a son early, so that the prince can feel at ease!"

After finishing speaking, he said again: "I don't know what kind of dowry the concubine Shizi wants. It's so difficult? If the son doesn't want to abandon it, why don't you tell the officials, so that the officials can help you think of a way?"

Xiao Huai squinted his eyes and said: "What I, the deputy commander of the Fifth Army, can't do, Master Wen really thinks he can do it?"

Wen Yuanzheng was stunned.

Xiao Huai ignored him and walked across the bridge with a flick of his sleeves.

In the car, Shen Xi had seen him talking to Wen Yuanzheng, and saw that he was very angry when he got into the car, so he couldn't help asking: "Who was that just now?"

Xiao Huai held her hand warm in his palm, leaned on the pillow and sneered, "Minister of Rites Wen Yuanzheng, Han Dun's running dog. Come and ask me when will I get married?
"He didn't have the guts to ask, he probably had to order Han Dun." Looking at her again, he said, "It was he who brought Song Jiao to propose marriage to me last time."

When Shen Xi heard that he was the left servant of the Ministry of Rites and Shen Chongguang's boss, he couldn't help but looked through the back window, only to see Wen Yuanzheng was still standing there looking at him.

"Han Dun is interested in everything about me now." Xiao Huai pulled her and said, "Help me change my clothes."

Shen Xi was stunned.

He smiled and threw the casual clothes that were folded aside to her: "I can't go shopping with you in official uniforms!"

"Strolling?" She frowned, "Didn't you say that you invited Jin Xiao and the others to go hunting in the western suburbs?"

"Yes, go shopping." He pinched her face: "I will go to the western suburbs another day, because I have to find you a 'satisfactory dowry'."

Wen Yuanzheng was swept away by Xiao Huai, he stood under the bridge and watched the carriage go away, he stood still for a while before returning to Nansan Yamen.

The news that Yan Wang Shizi took the second girl from the Shen family to visit several dental shops in the capital to see the farmyard and so on, spread to the Ministry of Rites in the next noon.

Before Wen Yuanzheng had time to return to the Han family, Han Dun sent Chen Qi to inquire about the cause and effect.

He had no choice but to take the answer he dug out from Xiao Huai in the previous morning to the Han Mansion and report to Han Dun face to face.

Han Dun frowned for a while, then looked at him for a while, and said nothing.

In the next two weeks, there may be news that Xiao Huai is preparing for the dowry with great fanfare.

The king of Yan heard about it, so he also came to He Lanzhun and asked, "Where did you go with the Liuli of the Shen family?"

He Lan said earnestly, "I only received good luck at the beginning of the month."

"How could it be so slow?" King Yan also frowned.

He Lanzhun paused slightly, and said: "The Shen family didn't say anything, but last time the imperial physician came to ask for Ping'an pulse, the subordinates also talked about the auspicious occasion with the imperial physician.

"The imperial doctor said that the girl is not very old, and it would be more beneficial if she could delay her marriage or children for a year or so."

King Yan didn't say anything more.Holding a piece of armor with her fingertips, she went around, but said again: "Song Jiao's matter has something to do with the son. Mrs. Han died on the night when Song Jiao rushed to Cangzhou. When Mrs. Wen died, the son and girl Xi were both In the Han family.

"Isn't it a coincidence that these things are happening?"

He Lan looked at the ground earnestly, bowed deeply after half a moment: "I heard that there was some friction.

"At first, Miss Shen taught her a lesson because of Han Min's provocation, and then Han Shuhua taunted Miss Shen in front of the Han family, but the two young wives of the Jin family and the Du family came forward to help the girl to teach her a lesson, and the problem was settled. "
