"Okay, stop messing around. The more you talk, the more nonsense you're making. How could it be so easy to become the top scholar?" Han Mingyuan said helplessly, shaking his head.

"I think you can do it, Dad. After all, Grandpa is Mr. Qinghe. If you don't get the top scorer, Grandpa will probably whip you."

Seeing that Han Xiao was getting more and more out of control, Han Mingyuan angrily cursed in a low voice: "Shut up, you bastard."

He was so embarrassed that he almost lost face.

Mother Han watched the jokes between the father and son, and the last trace of tension in her heart disappeared.

After tidying up the loose hair on her temples, Han's mother was now very calm. That is to say, even if they are wives of officials, so what? Her husband is also no exception.

I'd better get used to it as soon as possible.

In fact, after a year of training, Ham's temperament has changed a lot.

Including her previous timid personality has disappeared. Now Han's mother lives an extremely happy life every day and looks several years younger.

Han's mother was originally quite pretty. You can tell from Han Xiao's facial features that she was also a great beauty when she was young.

Now that he has recovered, he exudes a kind and loving aura.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to its destination, and occasionally the sound of firecrackers could be heard on the road.

When Han Xiao got off the carriage, he saw a long line of people queuing at the gate of Zhang's mansion, and many civilians gathered nearby.

The Zhang family's servants were scattering wedding candies and money among the crowd.

He reached out and helped the young master down first, followed by Han Mingyuan and Han's mother.

Seeing that there were so many people, Han Xiao frowned and held the young master in his arms.

In public, the young master was shy and felt a little embarrassed.

But Han Xiao's arms were too warm, and he didn't want to come out at all, so he simply pulled his cloak up a little to cover most of his face.

Han Xiao embraced the young master, placed a red package on the ceremonial officer's desk, and walked into the Zhang family's gate.

Nowadays, those who can enter the Zhang family are basically either rich or noble, and many people feel unfamiliar when looking at Han Xiao.

Seeing that the four people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, I wondered if they were relatives of the He family.

Han Xiao ignored their looks and walked quickly to the main hall. At this time, the two were about to separate, and Han Xiao reluctantly let the young master out.

Seeing this, Mother Han went up and grabbed the young master's hand: "Okay, you guys hurry over too, Ruanruan and I are going to the backyard."

As he spoke, a servant brought Han's mother to lead them.

Han Xiao nodded and watched his mother leave.

Han Mingyuan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he stepped forward and patted Han Xiao's shoulder: "Okay, the figures are gone, what are you still looking at? Let's go."

The two of them found a seat with few people and Han Xiao began to look around.

Their seats were in the main hall, and there was a large courtyard outside that was also filled with tables.

Tsk, it seems that the Zhang family is quite rich and can afford such a big event.

After Xing Yi parked the carriage, he also came over. Han Xiao called Xing Yi over, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he asked softly, "Is the matter done?"

Xing Yi didn't say anything, just nodded. Han Xiao immediately laughed: "Okay, then you wait outside first, Ruanruan and I will be out soon."

Han Mingyuan looked at Han Xiao in confusion, not knowing what the two of them were talking about.

Xing Yi came quickly and left quickly. After Xing Yi left, Han Mingyuan moved his body and said to Han Xiao: "Why is Xing Yi here? What did you ask him to do?"

Han Xiao smiled mysteriously: "You'll know soon. Don't worry, Dad. There will be something interesting to watch."

Seeing Han Xiao's playful expression, Han Mingyuan knew that his eldest son was up to no good, but they had never gotten along with the Zhang family, so he let Han Xiao do whatever he wanted.

But even though he knew this, Han Mingyuan was still a little uneasy because he saw many important people at the wedding banquet.

Although he didn't recognize them, he had seen them at Mr. Qinghe's place.

Several of them saw Han Mingyuan and nodded at him.

Most of these people are friends with Mr. Qinghe.

Han Xiao looked at Han Mingyuan and said to him, "Dad, if you're busy, you don't have to stay here with me. I guess Qingyun will be here soon... Hmm? Why are they here too?"

"Who?" Han Mingyuan asked doubtfully.

Han Xiao's expression turned cold. He didn't expect to see Han Mingxiu and others in the capital.

But if you think about it carefully, Han Mingxiu is now also a juren, and he will definitely take part in the spring examination next year. He must have come to the capital in advance.

What's more, the Chen family has a good relationship with County Magistrate He, so it is understandable that they can come to attend Zhang Shaoqi's wedding banquet.

Han Mingyuan saw that Han Xiao's expression was wrong, and looked over in the direction Han Xiao was looking.

The moment he saw Han Mingxiu, Han Mingyuan felt extremely complicated.

Han Mingxiu also saw Han Mingyuan, then walked through the crowd towards Han Xiao and the others.

"Brother, Han Xiao, long time no see." Han Mingxiu said softly. People who didn't know Han Mingxiu would really be fooled by his hypocritical appearance.

Han Mingyuan said coldly: "Long time no see."

Han Xiao simply stopped talking, turned around and went to drink.

Han Mingxiu didn't care and sat down next to Han Mingyuan: "Brother, you don't mind me sitting here, do you?"

Seeing Han Mingxiu's actions, Han Mingyuan didn't know what he wanted to do for a moment?

"You can sit wherever you want." Having already known Han Mingxiu's true identity, Han Mingyuan secretly became alert.

Ignoring Han Mingxiu, Han Xiao moved aside a little and let Han Mingyuan sit over.

More and more people came to the wedding banquet, and Lu Qingyun followed Lu Ming in.

"Uncle Lu, Qingyun is here!"

Han Xiao stood up and motioned Lu Qingyun to come over.

Lu Qingyun was still talking to his companions when he saw Han Xiao raise his hand.

When Lu Qingyun sat down, he saw Han Mingxiu sitting next to him. He couldn't help but whisper to Han Xiao in surprise, "Why is he here too?"

After pouring a glass of wine for Lu Qingyun, Han Xiao shook his head and said nothing.

Lu Qingyun greeted Han Mingyuan and started whispering to Han Xiao.

By the way, he also gossiped about the gossip of everyone at the banquet.

"Look, that old man is Mr. Zhang, a branch of the Zhang family. He's already old, but he still married an 18-year-old concubine."

"And that one is the Gao family's illegitimate son, and he's now fighting fiercely with the legitimate son."

"Hey, hey, why the hell is the Second Prince here too? This Zhang family is really powerful."

"The second prince? Chu Jingchen?" Han Xiao said in a low voice.

Han Xiao just called out the second prince's name, and Lu Qingyun was so scared that he quickly covered Han Xiao's mouth.

"My ancestor, how can you call the Second Prince by his name?"

Han Xiao rolled his eyes and pried Lu Qingyun's hand away: "Who else can hear it except you?"

The scene was so noisy that the two of them had to almost lean over to each other's ears to speak. How could it be so easy for the Second Prince's men to hear them?
