Under the guidance of Zhang Zhi, Han Rui and Luan Yi took the gift box and went to Chao Mansion in full costume.

Unlike what he imagined, Chao Mansion was not in Shangguan, where important officials in the court and central government gathered, but in a relatively secluded corner outside Liushi.

The gate of the mansion was not as luxurious and majestic as other nobles and ministers, but it was made of a pair of rather restrained heavy wood; There are no statues of mythical beasts at the door.

Even Luan Yi was dumbfounded by this shabby mansion, let alone Han Rui.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the name of the emperor, Chao Mistake can be accepted calmly.

Not to mention that he is now an internal minister, and the real power of Jiuqing is also!

Such a powerful person, but the material life is so simple...

If this is not a means for him to raise hope, then his official morality can only be said to be very noble!

Look at his bad official reputation...

This cannot be hope!

There was no shadow of Chao Cuo at the door, only a middle-aged woman with two little girls who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, waiting outside the door.

Han Rui and the others got out of the car outside the door, followed behind Zhang Zhi, and bowed deeply to Mrs. Chao.

The old lady did not mean to be polite at all, accepted it calmly, bowed her waist slightly, and said: "The husband has not returned home yet, and the slave has sent someone to pass it on, and the guest can drink some bitter tea at home and wait for a while." ”

Zhang Zhi hurriedly said goodbye: "I'm tired of Mrs. Sister-in-law." ”

Following Mrs. Chao into Chao's mansion, Han Rui was stunned again!

As far as the field of vision passes, it can be called 'not a single grass grows'!

There are no shrubs and grasses that Chang'an dignitaries often use to decorate their houses, nor do they have elegant rockeries, artificial lakes and pavilions.

The only difference from ordinary people's farmhouses is that the yard, which is so simple that it is almost empty, is extremely clean.

Seeing that Han Rui was standing still, Mrs. Chao's face revealed a trace of bitterness: "The husband is an honest official, and the family will inevitably be shabby..."

The two little girls behind them blushed even more because of the exaggerated expressions on Han Rui's faces.

Han Rui slapped Luan Yi with his elbow, and seeing that he still had no reaction, he had no choice but to bow out and say: "Madam misunderstood, the name of Chao Gong's two sleeves and the breeze on his sleeves has already been heard of by the kid. ”

Viciously glanced at Luan Yi, who came back to his senses, and said deeply: "Chao Gong treats others with leniency and self-discipline with strictness, and the kid respects him in his heart, so he lost his manners..."

The words are full of sincerity, and those who don't know will probably think that Chao Cuo is really a kind of lenient person when they hear it.

Wrong to be lenient to others?

Where did all those personal grudges come from?

Isn't it just 'upright' and provoked by unsympathy?

A trace of embarrassment flashed on the woman's face, so she had to bow back and say, "Childe praised it falsely..."

looked back at the two girls behind him: "The husband is not at home, the slave has something to say to the uncle, so let the little girl take the two sons to stay in the courtyard for a while, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Luan Yi, who had been outside the fugue for at least half a century, finally remembered that this was his future mother-in-law, his chest suddenly straightened, and he stepped forward and said, "Madame is busy herself, and the juniors can just wait here." ”

Madame Chao nodded, turned back and walked towards the living room; Zhang Zhi confessed his guilt and hurriedly followed.

Luan Bu turned his head with a smile, and saw Han Rui looking at him with contempt on his face?

"What for?"

Han Rui's face was full of surprise, "Big brother, this is you coming to see your mother-in-law!" Exaggeratedly, he pointed his thumb at his nose: "It's not me!" ”

Hearing this, Luan Yi's face was full of embarrassment, scratching the back of his head and smirking: "Gaffe, gaffe, it's really this house..."

"Ahem..."

A light cough interrupted Luan Yi's unspoken complaint, and when he followed the reputation, he saw the woman pouting Luan Yi with an unhappy face.

Rolling his eyes at the sky, Han Rui could only come out again to wipe his ass.

"The young master is young and frivolous, and where his words are rude, look at Miss Haihan."

What's going on?

It reminded Han Rui of when he was in college in his previous life, and he introduced girls to that wooden roommate...

Luan Yi also arched his hand: "I lost my words under it." ”

The woman who had frowned earlier was blessed and did not speak again; But the girl next to her muttered: "Vulgar martial arts..."

The woman next to her hurriedly pulled it, and then stopped.

The atmosphere was suddenly awkward; Rao is Han Rui's 'well-informed', and he is helpless against such a situation.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhang Zhi to come out of the guest room, which was considered to be a solution to his urgent need.

It's the haze that can't be dispersed between his eyebrows, which makes people strange.

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Zhang Zhi proposed: "Why don't you wait in the guest room with the two of you?" ”

Without waiting for Luan Yi to speak, Han Rui hurriedly thanked him, and pulled Luan Yi to the guest room first.

provoked Zhang Zhi behind him to shake his head and smile bitterly: "It's good to be young..."

Thinking so, he looked in the direction of the backyard - where Mrs. Chao was.

"Senior brother's life, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy..."

Thinking of the conversation between Fang Cai and his sister-in-law, Zhang Zhi's heart was full of admiration for his senior brother Chao Cuo.

What Mrs. Ju said that the senior brother's actions caused the dissatisfaction of the Chao clan; The old lady Chao couldn't resist the pleading of her relatives, so she had already asked someone to bring a message to her sister-in-law-I want to die?

Mrs. Sister-in-law, she looks weak, but she is very tough on the inside; Expecting her to persuade her brother to turn back is simply a fantasy!

What's more...

The senior brother shoulders not the gains and losses of one person, but also the decline and fall of one family; It is related to whether the Legalist family can regain its head after being hit hard by the collapse of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and get the right to speak again in this world and temple.

In short, he is alone on his shoulders, carrying the rise and fall of the Legalists!

Before the righteousness, nothing can hinder the concept of a rich country and a strong army, even if it is a desperate death to destroy the clan...

"Alas, I don't know who's right and who's wrong..."

If the old lady Chao is wrong, people are just worried about the survival and continuation of the family, which is normal; But what's wrong with the senior brother?

Zhang Zhi's gaze gradually became firm - we Legalists, regardless of the process, regardless of the means; Only the rich country and the strong army, to Jun Yao Shun!

The crippled body, compared to the way of the idea, is not a pity at all!

Mrs. Sister-in-law must also know that her senior brother will not listen to persuasion, so she entrusted herself to convey it on her behalf...

Shaking his head and sighing, Zhang Zhi looked at Han Rui and Luan Yi in front of the living room, and his face gradually relaxed.

Milk Tiger Luan Yi is already a rising star of the Han family; Now that he is married to his senior brother, he will be a great help to the Legalists if he goes through the war over time.

And Han Rui's son, young and old, contemptuous but not humble, talented but not arrogant, has a steady and experienced posture in every gesture.

If his father is satisfied, and even teaches the scriptures and calligraphy in person, coupled with the relationship between him and the Luan family, he will become an official in the future, and the senior brother will no longer be alone...

"Alas, this game of chess, senior brother, is still too big..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a whistling sound behind him.

Half a second later, a slap the size of a fan slapped the straight head.

"Stinky boy, you don't know how to hide from me when you say bad things about me!"
