Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

Since she had already asked for leave with Wang Meiren yesterday, Han Yan just woke up early the next morning to freshen up, and did not practice riding and shooting as usual.After packing up some clothes and rewards from the palace, he led the eager Liu Zhi out of the palace gate.At the gate of the palace, Wang Meiren even carefully dispatched a carriage for Han Yan.Because Han Yan asked for leave, Liu Zhi wanted to leave the palace arguing, and another companion, Zhou Mingjin, took advantage of the opportunity and returned to Tiaohou's mansion.When Han Yan came out, she happened to see Zhou Mingjin waiting beside another carriage.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Jiaodong." Zhou Mingjin greeted Liu Zhi first, and then said to Han Yan: "Ayan, grandfather said that you have time to go to Tiaohou's mansion to visit his old man after you return home."

Han Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.After all, Zhou Yafu is his god-grandfather, so he should visit him when he is out of the palace.What's more, this godfather is really kind to him.After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two got into the carriage respectively, and drove towards Gonggaohou's Mansion and Tiaohou's Mansion respectively.

Although Liu Zhi was the king of Jiaodong, he didn't go out of the palace much.Along the way, he raised the curtain of the carriage and stretched his head to look out the window, his brows were full of excitement.

"Ayan, is it so lively outside the palace?" After a while, Liu Zhi turned around and asked Han Yan.

"This is the bazaar, so it's naturally more lively." Han Yan replied with a smile. In order to take care of Liu Zhi's mood, he specially ordered the groom to drive a carriage around the most prosperous bazaar in Chang'an.Pointing to a three-story restaurant on the side of the street, he said, "That's Han Zhuang, the restaurant opened by Ah Yan herself. When you have free time, take your highness there for a stroll."

"Oh?" Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows, lying on the car window and looking carefully.The restaurant is built according to the style of Jiangnan gardens of later generations.Quite elegant and delicate, it is somewhat incompatible with the majestic atmosphere advocated by the Han Dynasty.But just standing quietly in this noisy downtown, it doesn't have a special flavor.With keen eyes, Liu Zhi saw that most of the people coming and going in the restaurant were students in Confucian uniforms.

"Why do so many scholars go to restaurants?" Liu Zhi couldn't hide his thoughts in front of Han Yan, and immediately blurted out when he had any questions.

"It's because of some small rules of the restaurant. For example, poetry gatherings are held regularly, and some pairs are given out for these students to match, or they are asked to write poems and odes. Those with the best evaluation can reserve a table in the private room on the third floor for free. face." Han Yan said patiently.In fact, this is just another form of advertising nothing more.Since ancient times, literati have been neglected. Youdao is the first in literature and second in martial arts. There are many students whose knowledge is evenly matched. If you lose this time, you will win back next time if you work hard.This approach not only gathers popularity and improves the grade, but also has a good reputation among scholars.It's just a marketing tactic to change the soup without changing the medicine.

What's more, Han Yan still has some small thoughts in her heart. Restaurants and teahouses are the most able to guide people's public opinion trends, and they are also the places with the best news.Now that Wang Meiren is going every step of the way, sooner or later Liu Zhi will be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and Han Yan has to make plans early.On the one hand, operating a restaurant is to collect funds and pave the way for other businesses.On the other hand, it is also to inquire about the news to deceive others.

Han Yan had some thoughts in her heart, but it was too early to talk about it.After all, he is just a boy now, so he is not in a hurry, it is more appropriate to take it slowly.

The carriage hadn't passed a cup of tea before it stopped in front of Gong Gaohou's mansion.Han Tuidang and the others received the news that Han Yan was coming back early in the morning, but they didn't know that Jiaodong King Liu She was also coming.According to the etiquette system, the middle door was just opened wide, and the housekeeper was guarded at the door, while the elders of other houses were waiting for Han Yan to come to pay their respects.

When Han Yan got off the carriage, the butler Han Bo greeted him lovingly. He was a little surprised when he saw a boy of about the same age coming down behind Han Yan.The doubt in his eyes disappeared in a flash, and he looked at Liu Zhi without a trace, and he had three points of confidence in his heart.Turning around, he winked at the concierge, then turned around and greeted with a smile, "Master Ah Yan, you are finally back. Old Hou Ye has been waiting in the main hall for a while."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Liu Zhi and asked, "I wonder if this young master is..."

"This is His Royal Highness King Jiaodong. He is out of the palace with Ah Yan today and wants to relax." Han Yan said with a smile.While he was talking, he heard frequent footsteps in the mansion, raising his eyes, Gong Gaohou and others came out of the courtyard with strides.When he came to Liu Zhi, he immediately bowed and saluted, and said in his mouth: "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness King Jiaodong."

The people in Gonggaohou's mansion, who were in first-class water behind them, also immediately greeted the King of Jiaodong.

Due to the large number of people, Gong Gaohou immediately entered the Hou's mansion to welcome King Jiaodong after seeing the ceremony.Everyone followed suit.Han Ze deliberately followed Han Yan a few steps behind, and asked with a smile: "How is life in the palace, is it fun?"

"It's fun, it's so fun. Believe it or not, you can play it to death?" Han Yan said with a smile.It may be because Han Yan has been living in Gonggaohou's Mansion after crossing, Han Yan almost regards this place as his home.Since entering the mansion, he has become much more relaxed, so he can speak freely.

"It seems that you have a deep understanding!" Han Ze squinted his eyes and said gloatingly. "I've heard a lot of people say that people who live in the palace have to be scared every step of the way and walk on thin ice. If you don't pay attention, you don't even know how you lost your life. My mother has always been worried that you won't get used to living with your personality, but I It seems that you have gained a lot of weight! Could it be that you have a big heart and a fat body!"

"You're overthinking. The ones you're talking about are the empresses in the palace. I'm just a companion, and I have the support of Gong Gaohou's mansion. The lady Wang is modest and kind, and she treats me well." Han Yan rolled her eyes. , said.

"That's not as comfortable as staying at my own home." Han Ze replied indifferently, and then asked: "By the way, you only come back once in half a year. Can you stay for a few more days this time?"

"It can stay for three days." Han Yan said casually.

"What, it's only been three days?" Han Ze said dissatisfiedly with his eyes widened.He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Han Yan's words——

"Yes! You can stay for three days, this is the compassion of your majesty and empress! Ah Yan is very grateful." As she said, she signaled Han Ze with her eyes to shut up.

Seeing this, Han Ze curled his lips with disdain: "A Yan, you are too cautious. This is Gonggao Hou's Mansion, and it is very safe. What are you afraid of?"

"It's better to be careful in everything." Han Yan said casually.Although there is no one around, God knows whether Emperor Jing has arranged spies in the homes of the ministers.Let's keep some points for talking!

"Ayan, are you unhappy living in the palace!" Seeing Han Yan's cautious look, Han Ze frowned in displeasure: "If that's the case, why don't you go and ask your grandfather to let him live in your Majesty's palace?" Say good things in front of me, so that you can come back and live. At least the conversation at home is still casual."

Han Yan was a little moved in her heart, and after thinking about it, she said, "It's okay, it's a rule for the companion to live in the palace, just get used to it."

"Hey! Hurry up to the age of seven! You don't need to live in the palace anymore when you are seven years old." Seeing that Han Yan had made up his mind, Han Ze said with a sigh.In ancient times, seven-year-old men and women had different seats, and Han Yan could leave the palace when she was seven years old.

Han Yan smiled and didn't speak.Now that he lives in the palace, he can carefully observe Wang Meiren's every move, and after he has figured out her temper and behavior habits, even if there is an emergency in the future, he will be able to deal with it.

"By the way, where are Han Zhong and Han Yi?" Han Yan suddenly remembered what he had told them before entering the palace, and asked impatiently.

"Han Zhong went to the restaurant to collect the bill, but Han Yi is still in the firecracker workshop, saying he is studying how to make fireworks!" Han Ze said casually.Ever since the restaurant opened with firecrackers, there was a lot of commotion, and some other businesses also bought firecrackers for fun. Han Yan took advantage of the opportunity to open a firecracker workshop and let Han Yi take charge.

So far, they have been researching things like fireworks and firecrackers, but Han Yan thought that with such a channel, after Liu Zhi ascended the throne in the future, he would slowly make some gunpowder.In this way, it will be more useful on the battlefield, and the probability of victory will be higher. Anyway, the formula of TNT is still stored in my mind!

Therefore, all the people in the workshop are Han Yan's trustworthy, and Han Yi, who is in charge, is the diehard Han Tiaodang gave him.And the other people in the workshop are also the sons of the family who signed the death contract.So there is no problem with confidentiality.

"By the way, where's Wei Qing?" Han Yan looked around, but couldn't find Wei Qing's shadow, so she couldn't help asking.

"You little slave!" Han Ze curled his lips, "He went to the workshop to help, and it was Han Yi who asked him to come over."

"He is not my slave." Han Yan said calmly.

"By the way, after you left, I asked him to follow me as my reading companion. In this way, I can read along with you every day. I think you value him very much." Han Ze said casually, "I don't know that he will give you food. What ecstasy soup, just a slave."

"Then thank you, big brother." Han Yan said with a smile.Han Ze has the arrogance of some noble children on the surface, but he has a good character and is quite kind.At least it was nice to him.

"I sent someone to notify Han Yi to let him release Wei Qing. I guess you still want to see him!" Han Ze said pretending not to care.However, the slightly raised corners of his lips still revealed his good mood.

The two talked outside for a while, and a long time passed before they knew it. Liu Zhi, who had been waiting in the main hall impatiently, came out angrily, and saw Han Ze who was not having a good chat with Han Ze. Yan immediately raised her eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "What's the matter of chatting so happily that even the guests forgot to say hello."

Han Yan knew Liu Zhi's inexplicable dependence and closeness to her, and knew that he was a little arrogant.But Han didn't know. Seeing Liu Zhi's dark and blue face, he was shocked immediately, thinking that he had offended the moody King Jiaodong.

Although Liu Zhi was young, he was the prince's son and grandson after all. He grew up beside Emperor Jing, so he possessed a majesty without anger.Even Han Yan was almost intimidated by the first meeting, not to mention Han Ze who has little experience.Immediately bowed and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Jiaodong came to the humble house. It is the blessing of Gong Gaohou's mansion. There is no reason to neglect the distinguished guests. It's just that my younger brother has lived in the palace for a long time, and Han is very excited when he returns this time. I talked with my younger brother for a while, and I ask His Highness King Jiaodong to forgive me. Otherwise, my grandfather and father will definitely blame me and Ah Yan."

The meaning of Han Ze's words is also intended to explain: Although I took my brother to talk to you and snubbed you for a while, the elders of my Gonggaohou's Mansion are very polite and considerate to His Highness, without any negligence.However, he is still young, so what he said is still a bit blunt.Fortunately, Liu Zhi didn't really mean to blame.

Han Yan glanced at Liu Zhi helplessly, and immediately said softly: "Hou Gonggao's Mansion is the place where Han Yan grew up. Does Your Highness want to visit Han Yan's residence?"

Seeing Liu She's eyes lit up, but he still nodded indifferently, and immediately knew that his hair had been smoothed out, so he immediately said to Liu She: "Your Highness, please wait a moment, Han Yan goes to meet the elders first." , and entertain His Highness later. Or can Your Highness go to Han Yan's residence first?"

Instead of going back to the main hall to see a group of adults fawning over him, it is better to go to the place where Han Yan lives.Liu Zhi chose the latter without thinking, and Han Yan smiled.He recruited a maid to lead Liu She to his small courtyard.By the way, he gave Han Ze a wink.Han Ze was a little reluctant, but seeing Han Yan looking at him steadily, he followed Liu Zhi silently, admitting that he was unlucky.

After the two left, Han Yan straightened her dress, took a deep breath and strode into the main hall.
