After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

“From afar, the mountains are vibrant; from nearby, the water is silent.

The flowers remain even after spring is gone, and the birds are not startled when people come.

Everything is revealed, and everything is in harmony.

How can I say I don’t know? It’s simply too obvious.”

Han Ming couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the poem "Painting" by Zen Master Daochuan of the Song Dynasty.

"The so-called pure self-nature is the observation of all manifestations."

"When the self-nature sees the mountain, although it has color and form, its existence is also nothing, a mere illusion; when the self-nature hears the water, the sound is unreal, with sound and without sound; when the self-nature observes the flowers, there is no choice or rejection, and the present moment is the self-nature."

"All things are inherently pure and self-existent, and are originally equal."

"The self-nature is wonderfully bright at this moment, and it transforms into the discriminating clarity of the thinking mind."

"The discrimination and attachment of the sixth consciousness are the root of all sentient beings' illness."

“Only by letting go can one see one’s true nature.”

"If I could attain this enlightenment, I would be a true man, free and unfettered in the world."

With his hands behind his back, Han Ming walked out of the study. Sunlight was scattered in the corridor, illuminating the young man's figure.

Although the sun is shining today, the slight chill in the air makes people know that autumn is coming.

"Zhong Huai, Ze Cheng and the others have been traveling south for over a month now, and I don't know how their progress is going."

Han Ming calculated the days and realized that it was almost time for Zhao Ceying and his team to submit a report on their progress.

"The Privy Council doesn't have much business today, so why not go out and stretch your legs?"

Having made up his mind, Han Ming returned to the backyard and went into his own nest.

Yu Yanran was coaxing her son, while the three-year-old Nuoge was constantly playing with his toys, occasionally raising his big eyes to look out the window, as if something was attracting him.

Seeing Han Ming walk into the house in a white shirt, Nuoge'er's eyes lit up. He jumped up and ran towards his father, calling "Daddy" and "Daddy" non-stop.

“Oh my! My little one!”

Han Ming picked up his son directly and couldn't help but smile when he saw the chubby Han Duanyang in his arms.

"Why are you back? Didn't Yong Zeng say that you wanted to be alone today?"

Yu Yanran walked to the door with a smile on her face and teased her son with Han Ming.

"On a whim, I wanted to go out hunting." Han Ming smiled gently.

"Then I'll pack your luggage for you!" Yu Yanran clapped her hands and walked into the inner room with a smile to get busy.

"Would you like to come with me?"

Han Ming gently placed his son on the ground and hugged Yu Yanran from behind while she was packing her things.

"Hmm (⊙_⊙)?" Yu Yanran stared with her big eyes, blinking, looking at the other person strangely.

"Can I go too?"

"Why can't you go?"

Han Ming looked at his wife in confusion.

"This...I...I'm a woman...Is it okay for me to be in the public eye?"

Although Yu Yanran knew that her husband was not a person who attached great importance to etiquette, some things could not be changed by Han Ming's words.

Women in ancient times attached great importance to the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, chastity, and etiquette, for fear of being known as "unvirtuous and without moral integrity."

Han Ming suddenly thought of the state in the original drama where Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan were cautious of each other after they got married.

Even Minglan keeps pretending to be virtuous to protect herself, which is mostly due to her own insecurity.

"In this world, no one is anyone's rock. He's a good man and cares about me, so that's good enough."

"However, it's best not to rely too much on others. Everyone has their own difficulties. If you really need to rely on others, don't rely on them too much or too deeply."

"The more you expect, the more likely you are to be disappointed. Excessive disappointment breeds resentment, and resentment breeds hatred, which makes life difficult."

Thinking of Minglan's words, Han Ming couldn't help laughing and turned Yu Yanran's body to face him.

"You and I are one, husband and wife. There's no need to live in such fear. We still have a long way to go!"

"I will respect you, and you have to get used to me."

"At least I'm not like other people who say high-sounding words to their families."

"That kind of person is the boss, not the official!"

Han Ming smiled and took Yu Yanran into his arms, gently biting the woman's pink earlobe.

"Then... Sir, I want to go hunting with you!"

Yu Yanran put her arms around Han Ming's waist, rested her head on his shoulder, and said in a sweet and naive tone.

"Then hurry up!"

Han Ming reached out and patted Yu Yanran on the buttocks, signaling her to hurry up.

This scared Yu Yanran. She rolled her eyes and immediately turned around to pack her bags.

At this moment, three-year-old Han Duanyang was holding a toy in his hand, tilting his head and looking at his father and mother in confusion.

. . . . . .

The Sheng family in Jiying Lane has been prosperous since Changbai High School was admitted.

Although there have been many twists and turns and various things that cannot be told to outsiders, overall, the business is still thriving.

Years ago, Sheng Hong was promoted one level because of the new emperor's accession to the throne and was transferred to the Left Censor-in-Chief, a fourth-rank official.

In addition, all the daughters of the Sheng family married into wealthy families and had a good family tradition. For a time, the entire Sheng family became a prestigious family in Tokyo Prefecture.

Just as Han Ming and Yu Yanran were packing their bags to go out hunting, a group of people came from the south and entered the capital.

After settling in, they went to the Sheng family in Jiying Lane with various treasures.

The person welcomed by the Sheng family was Old Madam Sheng who had not gone out for a long time, and the visitor was Old Madam He from the He family, a family of medical officers, and of course there was also a young man with a handsome face and gentle temperament.

"Oh! Old sister, it's been several years since we last met. Are you feeling well?"

Old Mrs. He took a few steps forward and started chatting with Old Mrs. Sheng.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine. Did your trip back to Beijing go smoothly?"

Old Mrs. Sheng laughed so hard that she couldn't stop nodding.

"Everything is fine, everything is fine!"

The two old men chatted enthusiastically, and Sheng Minglan and the young man from the He family behind them also started chatting.

"Brother Hongwen, you must stay a few more days in Beijing this time. Madam He was in a hurry last time, and my grandmother missed her very much."

Sheng Minglan smiled politely at the young man.

The young man is He Hongwen from the He family. In the original drama, he was the man closest to Sheng Minglan and was just one step away from winning her heart.

Unfortunately, due to her weak character, family reasons, and Gu Tingye's interference, this marriage was ruined.

"Sixth sister is right. My grandmother has been thinking for a long time because she didn't enjoy herself last time. This time, I'm sure we can have a good reminiscence."

He Hongwen is a modest gentleman, gentle as jade. Apart from his family background, his personality and temperament are basically a smaller version of Qi Yuanruo.

Such a gentleman makes people feel comfortable to get along with, but of course he may also put some people under pressure.

Entering the courtyard and arriving at the residence, I saw Old Lady Sheng busy and chatting with her female friends about all sorts of things. Her laughter could be heard from far away, making people feel so comfortable.

Outside, Sheng Changfeng, who was resting at home today, took the initiative to come out and chat with He Hongwen, talking about the origins of the two families.

Later, the old lady of the He family talked about He Hongwen's situation and what happened in his hometown of Youyang. She intentionally or unintentionally turned her gaze to Sheng Minglan who was eating cakes in small bites.

Everyone is a smart person, and the old lady of the Sheng family is an expert and veteran among them, so she naturally understands what is going on.

In order to prevent the He family from making a wrong judgment, Mrs. Sheng directly explained the current situation.

"Now, with the Prince Pu's Mansion and the Zhongqin Marquis' Mansion acting as matchmakers, and the Anyang Marquis' Mansion acting as a go-between, my granddaughter has reached the age of marriage."

"So I have been discussing various issues with the Second Young Master of the Gu Family from the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."

Mrs. Sheng's words were truly surprising. Considering that Minglan was just a concubine's daughter, it was not bad for her to be favored by Gu Erlang of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.

This also involved the new nobles of the court, the Prince Pu's Mansion, the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and the old noble, the Earl Zhongqin's Mansion.

It can be seen that Gu Tingye attaches great importance to this marriage and is determined to get it done.

This left Old Lady He speechless. After a long pause, she finally asked in a deep voice, "Since it's a marriage proposal, it means it hasn't been confirmed yet. Is there a chance of a change?"

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, a look of surprise and suspicion flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that even after she had made her position so clear, this old friend still had some thoughts.

Basically, after these words were spoken, anyone who wanted to discuss marriage with the sixth daughter of the Sheng family would back off.

After all, no one wants to offend the Prince of Pu's Mansion, the Marquis of Anyang's Mansion, and the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion at the same time.

Moreover, behind the Anyang Marquis Mansion stands the behemoth Yiguo Duke Mansion, which has such a huge influence that many people dare not ignore it.

However, the old lady of the He family ignored the twists and turns and still had feelings for Sheng Minglan, which made the old lady Sheng even more suspicious.

"That's true, but my dear sister, how these children marry will ultimately depend on their own heads. We old guys can only serve as advisors."

In the end, Mrs. Sheng could only make up her mind with some half-hearted words, and then think about how to test the waters a little.

But it seemed that Mrs. He noticed something and never mentioned this matter again.

Both parties came in joy, but left with different feelings.
