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

"...I wish I could be a beast in the distance, walking side by side. I wish I could be a tree in the mountains, branches intertwined."

"I would rather become a beast, walking side by side, inseparable. I would rather become a tree in the mountains, growing from different roots but with branches connected to each other."

"Yanran, Brother Han..."

Minglan looked at the paper in her hand and wanted to say that Han Ming was a bit corny, but when she saw Yu Yanran, who seemed to have lost her soul and could only smile foolishly, she kept her mouth shut.

"Okay, it's been a few days. Does Brother Han's confession make you so excited?!" Minglan couldn't stand the sweetness of these two people.

"You don't understand. I like this poem better than the one at the Lantern Festival Poetry Gathering."

Holding the love poem in her hands against her chest, Yu Yanran felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

"The emperor also really liked the poem 'Qingyu's Case. Lantern Festival', but you know what? The emperor gave that set of casual clothes to the Han family."

Minglan talked about the last Lantern Festival poetry gathering with some gossip.

"I know. Brother Jingyuan said it was a gift from the government, so we're going to put it up in our new house for good luck and commemorative purposes."

Yu Yanran also muttered softly.

"That's great. Seeing that you and Brother Han love each other so much, your future will definitely be good. I feel relieved." Minglan grabbed Yanran's hand and said sincerely.

"Minglan, I want to thank you for always helping me when I'm in trouble. If you have any difficulties in the future, don't go through them alone. I will always be by your side."

Seeing Yanran now looking confident and having someone to back her up, Minglan felt a trace of envy in her heart.

"Well, I will definitely be in trouble then!" Minglan said with a smile.

"Hehehe..." The two girls hugged each other and laughed.

The sky outside the house is as blue as a mirror, with a few white clouds occasionally floating by, embellishing this huge screen.

Inside the Han family, Han Ming was making final preparations.

The wedding is going to be held tomorrow, and the list of people participating in the wedding has been sent out early. In order to avoid mistakes or missing people, Han Mingzhen carefully compared each name.

When he saw the Lu family on his mother's side, he sighed softly, "I wonder how Master Yao is doing at Yuelu Academy. I received letters from him in the early years. Is he busy with the imperial examinations recently?"

After thinking for a while, he picked up the pen and wrote the name of his cousin from his uncle's family.

Lü Haoqing, courtesy name Yaoshi...

Then he put it aside and looked at another list. As a result, on the list of nobles, he saw the name of another beauty whom he had not seen for a long time - Zhang Guifen.

"Huh? I remember Sister Guifen went back to her hometown, didn't she?"

Han Ming has come into contact with many teachers since he was a child. In addition to the great scholars in the Han family school, Zhuang Xuejiu from the Sheng family academy, even his grandfather Han Zhang can be considered half a teacher of his.

But most of these teachers focus on how to be a good person and govern the country.

As for his military teachers, he had to mention two big men, one of whom was Di Wuxiang, the former Privy Councilor and Co-Minister of the Secretariat.

This famous general was a god-level figure who was promoted exceptionally by his grandfather and Fan Wencheng, but unfortunately he died in Chenzhou last year.

The other one is the father of this Zhang sister - the Duke of England.

Thinking of this teacher, Han Ming scratched his head: "Since the imperial examination, I have been busy with the palace examination. After the palace examination, I ran between the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet. I haven't visited the old man for a long time."

"There's time for the wedding this time!"

Looking at the invitation list copied by his grandfather Han Zhang himself, and seeing the Duke of England on the list, Han Ming felt relieved.

Just as he was about to take a break and drink some tea, Yong Zeng rushed in like a brown bear running a hundred meters.

Han Ming was so scared that his hands were shaking, thinking that Yong Zeng was going to rush over and beat him up!

Seeing Han Ming's little action, Yong Zeng laughed foolishly: "Brother, Qing'er is here!"

"Who?" Han Ming continued to pass tea into his mouth.

"The young man from the Lu family on the lady's side!" Yong Zeng continued.

"Huh?!" Han Ming didn't even drink the tea. He just put the tea bowl down and stood up.

"It's your cousin!" Yong Zeng thought Han Ming didn't understand.

"I know, but when did this kid come back? Did he finish his studies at Yuelu Academy? Why didn't he send me a letter?"

Han Ming stroked the hair crown on his head with his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

But he did not slow down and rushed to the front hall with Yongzeng. Before they reached the front hall, they saw a man in green clothes, with an upright figure, a dignified appearance and a face as beautiful as Shunhua walking towards them.

"Good sir!" Han Ming called out from afar.

"Big brother!" Lu Haoqing's eyes lit up, he lifted the hem of his robe and ran over in small steps.

When the two brothers met, they were naturally extremely excited. They hugged each other tightly, then looked at each other and laughed out loud. Everything was said without words.

"I told you that you didn't even write me a letter when you came back so that I could prepare to pick you up." Han Ming and Lu Haoqing walked into the study arm in arm.

"I was originally going to arrive in Beijing a few days later, but my father and mother wrote to urge me to get married. I thought I couldn't delay it, so I rushed back to Bianjing from Tanzhou by sea and land."

Lu Haoqing smiled slightly, and there was a trace of unrelieved fatigue on his handsome and heroic face.

"Oh! Uncle and aunt, why are you traveling so fast? You must be tired, right?" Han Ming asked the servants to bring some snacks and tea.

"That won't do. This wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I don't want to miss it." Taking the tea bowl handed over by Jin Rui, Lu Haoqing nodded slightly in greeting.

"How is life in Yuelu Academy? Is it worse than in Bianjing?" Han Ming picked up his bowl of tea, thinking that he could finally drink it.

"It's not bad. With the shift in population and resources in recent years, the South has developed better than before, but it's still not as good as Bianjing."

"When my elder brother sent me away from the capital, he once said that the Song Dynasty was currently implementing the policy of 'one country supporting one city'."

"I never took it seriously before, but after taking a tour of Jinghu Lake this time, I was deeply touched."

Lu Haoqing opened up and shared what he had seen and heard over the years and his thoughts.

"Okay, okay, stop talking about this. We're not in a position to control current national policy. Let's put these future issues aside for now."

"You should not leave now that you are back, right?" Han Ming looked at Lu Haoqing and asked.

"I'm not leaving. The classes at Yuelu Academy are over, and it's a good time for me to go back to Beijing to prepare for the next imperial examination." Lu Haoqing nodded and replied.

"Well, then take a good rest. Take advantage of my wedding to relax from the fatigue of studying over the years." Han Ming was very pleased to see his handsome cousin.

"I don't have the time. My mother asked me to return to Beijing this time because she wanted to arrange a marriage for me." Lu Haoqing's handsome face fell.

"Okay, get married first and then start a career. It's always better for you."

Han Ming was not surprised. After all, this cousin was the same age as him, just a few months younger.

But it seems that the other party is not willing to discuss the marriage?

"I'm not against marriage proposals. This is just part of life, but I don't really want to just marry someone off casually."

Han Ming was stunned by Lu Haoqing’s words. This kid’s idea is quite interesting!

"Are you...someone you love?" Han Ming asked with blinking eyes.

"No, no, I've been busy with my studies these years, so I don't have the time..." Lu Haoqing seemed to be completely ignorant about this matter.

"So which family does my aunt have her eyes on?" Han Ming asked curiously.

"No, they just asked me to participate in some tours and meet more people while I was preparing for the imperial examination." Lu Haoqing told the truth.

"Of course you should. You haven't been in Beijing for many years. Go out and look around more. There will always be someone suitable." Han Ming took out the previous list and started looking at it while chatting.

Lu Haoqing also leaned over and looked up: "Huh? Sister Zhang?"

"Yes, this is the list of officials' wives prepared by my mother and your aunt. What? Does it remind you of the memories of being beaten when you were a child?" Han Ming smiled evilly.

"Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮! Speaking of the number of times someone was beaten, it's Liang Ge'er from the Di family who got beaten more often!" Lu Haoqing refused to admit that he was beaten by Zhang Guifen when he was a child.

"Haha, that's right, you two are the same, big brother, don't make fun of the second brother!"

Han Ming's mean voice made Lu Haoqing's face flush red, she was just angry.

"I met Sister Zhang when I returned to the city yesterday evening." Realizing that he was not good at bickering, Lu Haoqing had to change the subject.

"Huh?" Han Ming was startled at first, then he closed the list and said, "I thought so. It turns out that my mother got the news in advance."

"You guys always surprise me."

Then he seemed to think of something and said, "Wait a minute, do you know something?"

"Tell me! Are you guys planning to do something together?!"

Seeing the aggressive Han Ming, Lu Haoqing immediately said no and raised his hand to swear.

"Strange? Then why didn't you tell me anyone about going back to Beijing?" Han Ming rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

"Maybe I want to give you a surprise?" Lu Haoqing laughed awkwardly.

"Just forget it, just don't make it scary."

Han Ming curled his lips and asked casually, "By the way, how's Brother Liang doing recently?"

Lu Haoqing said casually: "The emperor transferred him back to Bianjing from Chenzhou. Thanks to the blessing of Lord Di, he was promoted to the third shift..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Haoqing's body stiffened, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he turned stiffly to look at Han Ming behind the desk.

Han Ming looked at him with a half-smile: "Okay, okay!"

"Big brother, I!" Lu Haoqing knew that he had let the cat out of the bag.

"Go to hell!" Han Ming threw the list directly at Lu Haoqing. The other party was quite agile and dodged it directly, running to the door to avoid being peeped at.

"Brother, this is the idea that our second brother gave us. If you are angry, go find him in Yanzhou!" Lu Haoqing quickly betrayed the mastermind behind the scenes.

Han Ming, who was about to chase after him, paused and said, "Zhong Lao Er?"

"Isn't this guy guarding the border in Qingjian City, Yanzhou?"

Lu Haoqing was sweating profusely. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Zhong Erge's younger brother and I were traveling together at Yuelu Academy. He told me what happened."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a fuss!"

"Come in and pick up the list. So you guys have been instigating this all morning, planning to give me a surprise at tomorrow's wedding?"

"Big brother, what are you talking about? It's a surprise, okay?"

Looking at the smirking Lu Haoqing, Han Ming sighed helplessly: "Oh! You guys really gave me a big surprise."

"So, a lot of people came back?"

Seeing that Han Ming was just joking with him, Lu Haoqing nodded: "Yes, the Zhang family, the Di family, the Zhong family, and the Fan family."

"Huh? Are the people from Wen Zhenggong's family joining in the fun?"

"You guys are really good at it!" Han Ming sighed, holding his forehead with both hands, feeling both amused and helpless.
