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

When the news of the arranged marriage was received, Sheng Minglan, the sixth daughter of the Sheng family, was paying her respects to her grandmother, and the two of them looked at each other in confusion.

Then the old lady laughed and said, "What a Han Dalang! This is really a big deal."

Sheng Minglan frowned as she pondered, "Grandma, tell me, is this marriage proposal entirely within Brother Han's plan?"

"Do you want to say that Ming'er was the one who controlled all of this?" Old Lady Sheng looked at her clever granddaughter with a smile.

"Let's not talk about the hairpin incident. Just the issue of the betrothal gift and the unexpected marriage granted by the government, I think Brother Han has been prepared for this."

Sheng Minglan finally found a clue from the traces and saw the mastermind behind a series of events.

"If he doesn't tell us, no one will know the truth. Everyone's guessing will only make Ming Ge'er more naive."

"And this may be exactly what he wants."

Old Madam Sheng held the tea bowl in her hand and said with an unfathomable smile.

"Grandma, what do you mean..."

"Brother Han is making it hard to figure out his cards, and what's the relationship between him and the government?"

For the first time, Sheng Minglan felt that Han Ming was a little unpredictable. If she looked into his scheming carefully, she would feel like she was staring into the abyss.

"Take advantage of the situation."

Old Madam Sheng stroked the tea bowl with her old hands and chuckled.

"Take advantage of the situation? Take advantage of the situation? Take advantage of the situation!" Sheng Minglan didn't understand what her grandmother meant at first, and kept muttering to herself until the Censorate and the Emperor's family flashed through her mind.

"Borrowing the pressure from the court!" Minglan looked up at Old Lady Sheng.

"That's only part of the story. The most important thing is public opinion. That's what makes this kid so scary."

"Handled well, it can be said to be a sharp weapon for the nation; handled poorly, a severed head and body would be the least of one's worries."

"The government isn't stupid, and neither is Han. It's enough for us to just know about this kind of thing, and there's no need to delve into it."

Old Madam Sheng looked at Minglan meaningfully.

This glance contained so much that Minglan suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in her mind, as if she had figured something out.

"Miss Yanran is getting married. There are many rules and regulations involved. If you have any ideas, I will talk to your father and ask him to let you go to the Yu family to help out."

Old Lady Sheng gently turned the conversation around and looked at Minglan kindly.

"Is this okay? My granddaughter still needs to take care of all the things at home..." Minglan blinked her big eyes and looked at her grandmother.

"Haha, what's wrong with that? Since you took over the affairs of the mansion, you have been so busy that you don't care about the future. It just so happens that Yanran is getting married. You can go and enjoy the fun and relax."

Old Madam Sheng took a sip of tea, chuckled and nodded.

"Thank you, grandma!" Minglan smiled brightly.

. . . . . .

The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

The marriage negotiation between the Han and Yu families, which had lasted for nearly a month, was finally completed after many twists and turns, and the elders of both sides met each other.

On the Han family's side, Old Lady Han and Madam Han came forward together.

As for the Yu family, only Old Lady Yu came. As for why Lord Yu didn't come, I heard that he was afraid that it would be awkward for the two families to meet, so he forgot it.

Old Master Yu wanted to come, but Old Madam Yu said that it was a gathering of only female relatives, and she didn't think it was okay for an old man like you to be in the middle of it.

These words made Old Master Yu so upset that he could only drink alone at home.

As he drank, he praised: "This kid is quite thoughtful, the wine tastes really good."

Han Ming himself went into the Hanlin Academy and the East Palace, and was busy and confused.

The Hanlin Academy was mainly a place to nurture talents and reserve prospects. It was responsible for compiling books and writing history, drafting imperial edicts, serving as a reader for members of the royal family, and serving as an examiner for the imperial examinations.

After all, Han Ming had not reached that level yet, so he could only edit books and write history every day, and occasionally draft imperial edicts for the government.

However, this was of great help to him in cultivating his energy and calming his mind, and in reading through the history books of China.

As for the East Palace, also known as the Secretariat, Han Ming mainly followed his grandfather and other senior ministers, copying documents every day, and keeping them company, listening to them discuss military and national affairs.

This is the position of Zhongshu Sheren granted to Han Ming by the emperor. He can listen to the ideas of the great ministers on governing the country, integrate them and form his own system.

In this way, Han Ming began to run between the Hanlin Academy and the East Palace, and was busy all the time.

The countdown to Han Ming and Yu Yanran's wedding day has unknowingly begun.

Another day, Han Ming got up early, packed his official uniform, and was about to go to court carrying his official hat.

As a result, before he even left the hospital, he was blocked by his father and mother at the door.

"Where are you going?" Han Shipu said with his hands behind his back, looking serious.

Han Ming blinked, feeling that his father was a little strange today. He looked down at his official uniform to make sure he was wearing it correctly.

"Go to court!" Han Ming said speechlessly.

"Go to court?!" Han Lu's voice suddenly became eight times higher.

"Yeah!" Han Ming covered his ears and nodded helplessly.

"Haha, okay, okay..." Looking at his mother's half-smile, Han Ming suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"No, if you two have anything to say, please wait until I come back from court."

Han Ming said this as he was about to squeeze through the gap between his parents.

"Go, go, go to court, what court? Are you trying to piss me off to death?" Han Lu grabbed Han Ming's ear.

"Mother, what are you saying? Be gentle, be gentler, it hurts!" Han Ming said with a grin.

"I think you've become stupid as an official. You don't even remember your own marriage!" Han Lu said with a look of disappointment.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..." Han Ming stood there in a daze, blinking his eyes and slapping his forehead.

"Oh my god! Jinrui! Jinrui...Jinrui—! What day is it today?"

Jin Rui, who was directing her servants to decorate the courtyard, trotted over.

"Brother, today is the 25th!" Jin Rui said with a slight breath.

Han Ming's hands trembled, and he almost dropped his official hat. "The wedding is in three days?! Why didn't anyone tell me? I haven't even prepared anything yet!!"

At this time, Han Ming no longer had the youthful spirit that he had when he rebuked Fang Qiong in the court. He just spread his hands out like the 'Uncle Da emoticon' in his previous life.

"Brother, you were busy at the Hanlin Academy and haven't been home for two days. How could I tell anyone about it?"

"You came back too late last night and went to bed straight away. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't wake you up..."

Jin Rui stood aside and explained somewhat awkwardly.

Han Ming slowly turned his head and looked at his parents, chuckling awkwardly: "I'll go submit the marriage petition now."

"Wait for you? By the time you wait, the flowers will be cold, and your grandfather will have taken the memorial away for your approval."

Mrs. Han was furious when she saw Han Ming in his official uniform.

"Hurry up and change out of your official uniform. Come to my place for a fitting later. Also, think carefully about the oath you're supposed to take."

"Now everyone in Bianjing knows your nickname 'Han Shixian'. Don't let it bring disgrace upon you."

Mrs. Han waved her slender hand, like a leader giving orders, and Han Ming could only nod in agreement.

Seeing his parents finally leave, Han Ming breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat with the handkerchief Jin Rui handed him: "It's almost over!"

"Brother, let me help you change your clothes quickly, otherwise the lady will say something again soon." Jin Rui hurriedly pushed Han Ming into the house to change clothes.

"By the way, I've been so busy lately. Is there anything going on with the Yu family?"

After taking off his court robes, Han Ming changed into his casual clothes with the help of Jin Rui.

"The eldest daughter of the Yu family has come to our house several times, but you were never at home."

"Oh, right, Second Young Master Gu from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion has also been here. I noticed he had a frown on his face, and it seemed like he had something to ask you."

Jin Rui tied the corset for Han Ming and said in a low voice.

"Zhong Huai?"

"It seems like I haven't seen him for a while. Since the last polo match, he has been busy with the Yu family and the court affairs..." Han Ming muttered to himself.

"Later, have Yong Zeng go to Tianshui Lane and give Zhong Huai an invitation to be my stone driller."

The so-called "weighing a stone" refers to the best man at a wedding ceremony, that is, an older unmarried man.

Of course, as time changes, this type of best man does not necessarily have to be an older unmarried man, as long as he is a male friend of the man.

"Also, let's go to the Sheng family again to see if Zecheng and Changfeng have time."

Seeing that Jin Rui was about to go out, Han Ming thought of someone and shouted hurriedly.

"Oh, right, Duke Qi's Mansion! I want to see the one from Uncle Lu's side too. Send a copy to everyone."

"Ah, hey, hey, forget it, I'll put together a list myself later."

Han Ming felt overwhelmed. As he was talking, the number of people kept growing. He decided to make a list to make sure no one was missed.

After that, he took Jin Rui to her mother's Cui Yuxuan to try on the groom's suit.
