"Han Rui, why are you here?" On top of the incense car, Cui Bai leaned out with a look of surprise.

"Take a walk with a colleague." Han Rui explained, smiling: "When I saw Amu driving, I thought it was Vader, and I was about to say hello, but I didn't think it was you." ”

In the side window, Zheng Weide smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm here." ”

"Uncle." The coachman Amu called, Han Rui nodded slightly, and stepped forward to chat with Zheng Weide.

Next to him, Gu Yin arched his hand and greeted: "Cui Gongzi is polite, how are you doing lately?" ”

"...... you" looked at it, Cui Bai remembered, and said with a smile: "Gu Gongcao, no, it should be Secretary Gu, congratulations on your promotion, the new official has taken office, remember to treat you." ”

Occasionally, he also went to the Yue Wang's Mansion with the children of the nobles to eat and drink, Li Tai's number one henchman, Cui Bai naturally had a little impression, and naturally wanted to give Li Tai face and greeted him in a friendly manner, but it can also be seen from this that Cui Bai, a gentleman in the eyes of others, is also quite concerned about the personnel transfer of the imperial court, otherwise how would he know about Gu Yin's promotion.

After a period of greetings, Cui Bai turned his head and smiled: "Han Rui, your daughter-in-law accompanied my sister, went to Lishan to have fun, and those famous ladies, everyone was beautiful, chatting happily, Yingying Yanyan, I'm afraid it won't be back until later, so I sent me and Vader back first, and then I arrived at home, I received a banquet, ready to go to the appointment, if you are okay, go together." ”

"Brother-in-law, don't listen to Uncle Uncle's nonsense, it's not A-Niang who asked us to come back, but he sneaked away, saying that it was fun, and he pulled me back, but in fact, he planned to let me take it and share the responsibility after the incident." Zheng Weide snorted, sixteen or seventeen years old, he is no longer a child, how can Cui Bai's mind not be seen.

didn't have the shape of the elders, Cui Bai scolded with a smile: "Boy, if you are really reluctant, why do you come with me." ”

Zheng Weide only hummed, but he didn't refute, he said that at home, in Guozixue, he was strictly controlled, and it was rare to have a chance to relax and play, so he was naturally unwilling to spend time on the mountain with the help woman.

Han Rui sighed, if the young people in the capital knew that there was such a party, they would definitely have to participate, but Zheng Weide felt bored, he was really an innocent teenager, but then again, the young man didn't know what it was like, but it was understandable, a romantic young man like Cui Ba, a playboy, would actually give up this opportunity to hunt for beauty?

As if he understood the meaning of Han Rui's gaze, Cui Bai whispered: "Your daughter-in-law is next to you, where do I have a chance." ”

Retribution, Han Rui held back a smile, but he didn't refuse this invitation, Cui Bai was too unreliable, in order to avoid Zheng Weide's pure heart being polluted, Han Rui felt that it was very necessary for him to go with him, take on the responsibilities and obligations of his brother-in-law, and prevent the boy from going to the abyss of depravity.

"Secretary Gu, do you want to go with you?" Han Rui just asked politely, but he didn't think about it, hearing this, Gu Yin didn't even make a hesitant expression, and directly agreed with a smile, you're welcome, Han Rui slandered, fortunately, the carriage was spacious, and the four of them were in standard stature, so there would be no accident of collapse, and they bowed to the car, and the space was a little more restrained.

"Where are you going?" Han Rui asked curiously.

"You'll know when you get there." Cui Bai said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not to go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, go to the Ma Zhangtai, and have fun." ”

Han Rui nodded, knowing that the Zheng Mansion had a strict tutor, and if he really wanted to go to that kind of place, Amu Ke, who was driving, was a loyal servant, and he would definitely prevent Zheng Weide from going, as for Cui Bai, he would go if he wanted, and no one would pay attention to it.

The carriage was light, along the Qujiang River, to Qujiangfang, through the streets and alleys, stopped in front of a house, lifted the curtain and went down, Han Rui looked carefully, the eaves and arches, the vermilion lacquer gate was open, the white marble steps, the stone carvings of strange beasts were on the left and right, and the four burly guards on both sides of the courtyard saw everyone, their eyes were awe-inspiring, and they were quite imposing.

"It's actually ......" Gu Yin said to himself, he should understand the identity of the master here.

Cui Bai looked calm, casually showed the invitation, and when the guards saw it, they didn't stop it anymore, and let them pass directly.

Cui Bai didn't wait for the servants to come out to greet him, he led the way in front, and did not pass through the main hall, entered through the side door, and turned around the corridor a few times, on the way, he met many servants and maids, holding fresh fruits, wine and food in their hands, and when he saw them, he saluted and avoided them.

Roundabout and roundabout, after a few delicate hanging flower arches, the eyes suddenly opened, but it is to a spacious garden, a few zhang high rockery is upright, the momentum is majestic, under the rockery, is the lotus pond winding path, twists and turns, the ivy trees and spring flowers by the pool reflect each other in yellow and green, it seems extraordinarily lush and green.

Near the lotus pond, exquisite pavilions and pavilions, scattered and scattered, flower pots and flower beds, strange flowers and plants bloom brilliantly, the breeze blows slowly, the fragrance penetrates the nose, beckons bees and butterflies, twenty or thirty, young men and women in brocade clothes, dressed in gold and jade, divided into several circles, unscrupulous talk and laughter, next to the small bridge and flowing water dingdong, the sound of dingdong, mixed with bursts of laughter and laughter, intertwined into a moving melody.

"Cui Nineteen is here......"

A few people came in, the most popular is naturally Cui Bai, who greeted him one after another, Han Ruidong looked around, from his words and deeds, he could judge that these young men and women, most of them were the sons and daughters of lords and magnates, sons and brothers, etc., as if they disdained to go out and have fun with the people, but they hid in the garden, fighting flowers, grasses, poems, cocks, dogs, crickets, etc., which were very lively.

"It's late, don't blame you." Cui Bai responded with a smile, but did not stop, led a few people to the hall and pavilion, and when they came to other people's territory, they naturally had to say hello to the master before they could have a good time.

Someone reminded: "Nineteen Lang, His Royal Highness has entered the palace and has not returned." ”

Oh, Cui Bai stopped, Han Rui was slightly stunned, first he struck a sudden in his heart, and then reacted, Li Tai lived in Yankang Fang, not Qujiang Fang, with a little confusion, Han Rui asked softly: "Vader, which palace is this?" ”

"It's ...... This is not the royal palace. Zheng Weide smiled: "It's where His Highness the Twenty-Second lives." ”

Twenty-two His Royal Highness, Han Rui is inexplicable, Li Shimin doesn't seem to have so many princes, besides, the youngest one, and in swaddling clothes, he can't even walk, where can he live here.

Seeing that Han Rui didn't figure it out, Zheng Weide reminded in a whisper: "The emperor's ......"

The aura flickered, Han Rui suddenly realized, and finally understood, he drilled the tip of the horns, compared to Li Shimin, the emperor Li Yuan is more capable of life, the princess does not say, there are twenty-two princes, the first five, except for Li Shimin, all of them are dead, the third son of the Wei King Li Xuanba Zao, and the fifth son of the Chu King Li Zhiyun is because Li Yuan raised troops and killed the Yin Shishi for the Sui who stayed in Chang'an.

There are two other ones, the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, the nest king Li Yuanji, the result of the Xuanwumen change, everyone knows, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, but for these did not threaten his younger brother, Li Shimin will not be so mad as to learn Yang Guang, all of them will be eradicated, leaving no room for improvement, but appeased, except for one or two, most people are alive and well.

The owner of the mansion, Li Yuanying, the twenty-second emperor's brother, is already an adult, and according to the rules, he can be knighted by the king and sent to the fiefdom of Shiyi, but there are exceptions, it is not that Li Shimin favors one over the other, and does not wait to see this imperial brother, mainly because of Li Yuan, Li Shimin, as the emperor, cannot often visit and accompany him.

As for those princesses, emperors and grandchildren, who marry others, and the next generation of generations, they are always not as close as their sons, it is precisely in consideration of this that Li Shimin has not given Li Yuanying the title of king for a long time, just because he wants him to accompany Li Yuan more, after all, he is the youngest son, Li Yuan should regret it even more, this decision is naturally supported by hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and he praises his virtues.

The name Li Yuanying, Han Rui is not unfamiliar, knowing this person is still thanks to Wang Bo of the Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty, Teng Wang Pavilion Preface, such a famous article, I don't know it, it's unusual, but that's a matter of the future, Han Rui didn't care, he came, many things have changed, the future is full of unknowns, and fortunes and disasters are unpredictable.

Just when Han Rui was considering the influence of the butterfly effect, how strong it was, when he heard that Li Yuanying was not there, Cui Bai was not polite at all, and ordered the servants in the garden to move the table and set up the table, serve wine and food, and then sit down comfortably, lean on the banquet, hold the pot and raise his head, drink heroically, and the wine flowed, wet his chest and clothes, and let loose his bones.

The atmosphere here is very harmonious, everyone gets along equally, interests and hobbies, each has different interests, but will not rush to disturb others, of course, the so-called equality, is also based on its own background, if there is no such strength qualification, naturally no one will look at you squarely, no matter ancient or modern, this world, is so realistic, "Han Xiaoshu, toast you with a glass of wine, talk about the heart." ”

Han Rui, who has attended many palace banquets and the like, lords and magnates, sons and brothers, naturally knows, some of them are jealous and disdainful, and naturally some people admire and worship, and now they sit down, those who admire Han Rui's talents, have gathered around to toast and salute, full of enthusiasm.

"You're welcome." Han Rui said with a smile, there was no arrogance, he raised his glass and took a sip, this is just a party, not a banquet, no one cares if you drink more or less, but the important thing is the lively atmosphere.

These second-generation children, who have been favored by their parents, are destined to enjoy glory and wealth, fine clothes and food, better family education, and some of them are prepared for danger in times of peace, and know that they must be aggressive and enterprising, and ensure the wealth of the generations, as for those gentlemen, they have no worries about this, only know how to enjoy squandering and wasting their years, which is already enough to make people red-eyed, however, they do not know how to restrain themselves, and do some evil things in order to seek excitement, which is even more resentful.

Fortunately, now is the beginning of the founding of the country, under the suppression of Li Shimin, those arrogant generals, meritorious magnates, can not be publicized, under the constraints of the elders, these sons and brothers, but also keep to themselves, oppress the people, not nothing, but also relatively few.

Although he was full of emotion in his heart, but under the hospitality, Han Rui was not easy to refuse, as several people stepped forward to watch the cockfight, at this time, the voice of the servant came from outside the garden: "Your Highness, go back to the house......"
