Chapter 232: Rest Early

Bang, the door closed again, Han Rui got out of the water, brushed the water droplets from his hair, felt that it was about the same, climbed out of the bathtub, wiped the water stains, and put on a clean robe, or it was a psychological effect, or it could be an illusion, anyway, he felt that his body was transparent and comfortable, and he was refreshed for a while.

stepped forward to open the door and walked out, Li Xiyin leaned beside him, his head lowered, as if he was still sulking, seeing that she didn't pay attention to what she meant, Han Rui chuckled: "Why, I think my method can't work, this is also for your good, don't look at those monks who usually eat fasting and chant Buddha, as if they have no quarrel with the world, in fact, they are well versed in eloquence, as long as they are given the opportunity, they can talk endlessly for a few days and nights, and without repetition." ”

"Are you a disciple of Buddhism?" Li Xiyin raised her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was very displeased.

"Of course not." Han Rui shook his head, his demeanor was calm, calm, and smiled: "Speaking of which, you will definitely not believe it, what I believe in is ...... Novelist. ”

"Novelist?" Li Xiyin's bright eyes blinked lightly, and he said inexplicably: "Is there such a school in the world?" ”

Is the joke too cold, or the beauty is sluggish, Han Rui touched his nose and lamented that after the Qin and Han dynasties, there were only three religions and nine streams in the world, but he forgot the novelists among the hundreds of sons, which is really a sigh.

Too lazy to care about some side matters, Li Xiyin's pretty face turned up again, and he reprimanded lightly: "If you are not a Buddhist, don't you know that monks specialize in exploiting people's wealth, cutting off the country's reserves, not caring about their second relatives, and committing ten evils, which can be described as a clear evil, how can they help them speak." ”

"To be fair, the monks of this era ...... Forget it, you don't understand it, let's explain it this way, in a word, there are good people among the monks, and you can't beat them to death with a stick. Han Rui said, monks and nuns occupy fertile land, and Taoist priests are not like this, it should be said that the religion of the world, the initial accumulation stage, have such behavior.

As for the foolish people or something, even if there is no Buddhism, as long as the ruler is in need, there will definitely be other sects that will come out and throw out this idea, it is in this situation that there is a matter of exclusive respect for Confucianism, after all, it is a modern education that has been received for more than 20 years, for monks and Taoists, Han Rui is not close, nor can he say disgust, anyway, it exists and flourishes, it must have its own reason.

Taoism is a primitive product, not to mention, Buddhism has been going east for hundreds of years, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is deep-rooted, if it is said to be extinguished, Emperor Wu of Zhou has already succeeded, why wait until now.

Hmph, Li Xiyin glanced at him fiercely, turned around and left, quite different, not conspiring with each other.

"Eh, I can't listen to the slightest contrary word, no wonder I will lose." Han Rui shook his head, followed him leisurely, and returned to the side hall, Zheng Naoyue greeted him with a smile, whispered a few words, and was about to leave.

At the right time, Li Xiyin handed over four peace charms and asked Han Rui and others to hang on their bodies, and the pilgrims wanted to leave the Taoist temple, so it was naturally impossible to stop them, and they didn't talk nonsense, so they took a few Taoist priests and sent them to the car as a salute to say goodbye.

The same as when he came, Han Rui sat with the coachman, the carriage was brisk, and drove towards Zheng's mansion, and after a while, Zheng Naoyue's voice came from the carriage behind him: "What do you think?" ”

"Okay." Han Rui said, at least after feeling uncomfortable, he can take a hot bath and have a little more humanistic care.

"It's a bit hard, but ......" After hesitating, Zheng Naoyue said: "If you don't like it, I won't come in the future." ”

Han Rui hurriedly said: "How come, how good it is to pray for blessings, not only to avoid evil, but also to eliminate disasters and solve problems, when you go again in the future, you must remember to call me to accompany you." ”

Since you want to live together, you must know how to tolerate and give up, Zheng Nao can change some habits for Han Rui, how can Han Rui not be like this, he is patient with his surname in Jingyun Guan, and he can't say who pays for whom, who pays more and less, if so, he has to be careful, how can the marriage last long.

Back in Zheng's mansion, in the living room, things seem to have been finalized, Zheng Renji and Qian Xu laughed Yan Yan, Cui and Zheng were nowhere to be seen, and they should have talked about the woman's body in the back house.

stepped forward to greet him, Zheng Nao greeted him, and left with Liuying and the painting screen, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, Han Rui felt that they were a little abnormal today, as for what was wrong, for a while, he couldn't say it, anyway, it was weird, especially Liuying, when did he become so quiet, he seemed to be a little nervous and shy...... Han Rui chatted with Zheng Renji and Qian Xu in the hall with a little doubt, and after a while, the servant came to report that lunch had been prepared, in fact, it had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for Han Rui and them to come back, under Zheng Renji's warm greeting, Han Rui and Qian Xu happily came to the side hall, at this time, Cui and Zheng also came out and sat down together.

"Where's Cui Ba?" After taking a seat, Cui Shi looked around, frowned, and said, "I saw him just now, why is he gone in a blink of an eye." ”

"I guess something went out." Zheng Renji replied casually, then raised his glass and smiled: "Okay, ignore him, today my in-laws are here, so I have to get drunk and rest." ”

Qian Xu is naturally accompanied, staggered, the atmosphere at the banquet is harmonious, Zheng Renji is naturally knowledgeable, but Qian Xu was also a talented literati in his early years, for more than ten years, although he was a little slack, but the foundation is still there, and over the years, he has traveled south and north, if he talks about knowledge, it is not worse than Zheng Renji, the two can naturally chat, plus Han Rui next to him, flattering a few words from time to time, which makes the two of them feel comfortable and drink happily.

The banquet was harmonious, Zheng Renji's interest came up, and from time to time he ordered the servants to add wine and serve food, and Cui's didn't ask, more than half of the banquet court, so he pulled Zheng away, leaving the three of them here to drink and drink, and it was the moment when the lights were on, Cui's brought people out, and when he saw the appearance of Zheng Renji and Qian Xu, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The two of them were naturally drunk, asleep at the desk, and shouting and pouring wine in their mouths, compared to them, Han Rui's situation was slightly better, at least he could stay awake, and when he saw Cui's coming, he knew to stand up and salute, although he was a little shaky, but it showed that Han Rui knew how to drink less moderation.

Aware of this, Cui's heart was satisfied, and he waved his hand and ordered the servants to help Zheng Renji and Qian Xu go back to the room to rest, and said to Han Rui in a harmonious voice: "It's night, after you take a bath, if you are tired, go and rest first." ”

Under the guidance of the servants, Han Rui came to the spacious bathroom, a well-made, carved huge bathtub with embosses came into view, several servants took turns to carry water in, and after a short time, most of the bucket of water had been accumulated, one person took out several kinds of herbs and sun-dried petals from the bag next to him, put in a little essential oil as appropriate, lit the charcoal fire below, as the water temperature increased, the room was soon filled with a moist fragrance, put clean towels and clothes on the dressing table, and several servants retreated and closed the door casually.

Soaking in the bathtub, Han Rui sighed comfortably, rubbed it, smooth and clean, smiled bitterly, soaked it at noon, and now it is going to soak again, if you want to be clean, you don't need to wash it, then you close your eyes and recuperate, the charcoal fire is slightly strong, the soup is heating up, the forehead slowly overflows with sweat, and the face is more and more ruddy, but the head is a little less drowsy and drunk.

After about two or three quarters of an hour, he felt that the warm water was a little unhot, so Han Rui came out of the bathtub, changed into a loose robe, wore clogs, ticked on the wooden corridor, and deliberately stepped out of the rhythm, which was quite beautiful.

The night was thick, Han Rui walked into the courtyard, the cool breeze blew away the heat after bathing, looked at the shadows of the leaves and branches swaying in the wind, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then looked up at the night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the dark blue color made the whole world quiet and full of poetry, deep and pregnant with philosophy.

Therefore, Han Rui came to a conclusion that it should not rain tomorrow.

Why did you suddenly have the interest to be a weatherman, Han Rui muttered to himself, turned around and looked at the guest room in the small courtyard, there were two red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, the candlelight in the room was swaying, coming out of the window, the moonlight like water and the candlelight like fire blended together, forming a colorful light and shadow, under the reflection of the red lanterns, but it seemed to be as gorgeous as blood.

Is it a foreshadowing, Han Rui scratched his head in distress, walked back and forth in the small courtyard, considering whether to go in.

Tick, tick, the pace is chaotic, Han Rui hesitated, go in, it seems to be a little guilty, don't go in, I am very reluctant in my heart, the two thoughts are pouring into each other, and in the end, the overwhelming victory is naturally ......, "What are you doing, why don't you go into the room and rest?" ”

Startled, Han Rui hurriedly looked back, but saw Zheng Naoyu, who was dressed in plain white clothes, like a Lingbo fairy, quietly appeared in front of the door of the small courtyard, with beautiful eyes and a gentle smile.

"After the bath, it felt a little hot, and I was blowing the breeze." Han Rui smiled and walked briskly.

The smile grew thicker, his eyes flickered, and Zheng Naoyue said softly: "It's night, the wind is cold, don't stay for a long time, so as not to be cold." ”

"Well, you too." Han Rui said, looking at Zheng Naoyu, and stopped talking.

"I'm leaving." didn't give him a chance, Zheng Naoyu floated away, and on the way, he suddenly turned around and saw Han Rui still, his beautiful eyes bent into half a moon, and he said softly: "Hurry up and go back to the room to rest." ”

"Okay." Han Rui agreed, but his footsteps did not move.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Zheng Naoyu smiled sweetly, waved back, walked away lightly, and soon disappeared into the corner, Han Rui still did not turn around and walked away, and the countdown began in his heart,...... Three, two, one, zero.

The white shadow swept by, Zheng Nao leaned out, and when he saw Han Rui's figure, he felt indescribable joy in his heart, a burst of scorching heat, and his pretty face was inexplicably covered with brilliant glow, and he seemed to be disgusted and happy: "Okay, don't stay, go back to the room, don't ask people to wait." ”

In a word, without the slightest stagnation, it drifted away again.

After waiting for a while, and repeatedly confirming that Zheng Nao would not come back, Han Rui turned around and walked towards the room, the clogs were ticking, full of regular charm, and his expression was extremely serious, but his heart was suddenly beating, indescribably nervous and exciting.

It seems that a long time has passed, in fact, it is a few steps away, walking to the door, Han Rui stopped, stretched out his hand and pushed slightly, the door squeaked, opened in response, and in the flickering candle flame, a flying red tulle came to his face......
