Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been decided, the so-called to seize the country and the country by force, and to govern the country and the country with culture, this is an inevitable trend, Li Shimin is well versed in this principle, often openly or privately respects Confucianism and Taoism, and has the opportunity to do it himself, inscribe poems, collect calligraphy, advocate scriptures, and the style of writing is naturally prosperous.

As the top official school of the Tang Dynasty, bringing together Confucian scholars and young talents from all over the world, Guozijian is not only a place that people yearn for, but also a vane of popular dynamics in the capital, because most of the prisoners are the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, as long as things are recited in their mouths, in an instant, they can spread all over Chang'an.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations."

"Yangzhou Han Rui, Juvenile Xing, Afang Gongfu, Qujiang Furong Society's Verses ......"

One thing after another, once again excavated for people, recited endlessly, and then passed on by word of mouth of merchants, I am afraid that it will soon spread to all over the world, even outside the competition, the Western Regions, the limelight is unparalleled.

"The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is no longer deep, and the dragon is spiritual......"

At this time, some high-ranking officials and magnates also put down their reserves, and sent servants to hand over the worship post, inviting Han Rui to come and talk, the secluded thatched hut is no longer calm, and every day you can see the canopy speeding car, and the horses are galloping.

"Twenty-one Lang, I'll help you sort them out, these are the greetings of the third rank and above, the prince level, these are the invitations of the fifth rank and above, the Hou Bo level, and these are the gifts of the prince and lord below the sixth grade." Qian Feng smiled and said: "Naturally, some of them are great Confucian celebrities, I didn't distinguish them according to the size of the officials, and took them out separately and put them into one category, you can see for yourself." ”

Vermilion gold characters, or luxurious, or simple, lined up, layer upon layer, not to mention a hundred, Han Rui rubbed his forehead, and said distressedly: "It's all a banquet reception?" ”

"That's right." Qian Feng said with a smile.

"Can you not go?" Han Rui looked forward to it.

"Yes." Qian Feng said categorically: "As long as you are not afraid of offending everyone." ”

"What the old man means, you should consider attending a few banquets, and then say that you need to study quietly, so that the old man can justifiably excuse you." Yu Shinan smiled bitterly, among the invitations, there are a few of his close friends, who are patient and not easy to help.

Even Yu Shinan has no choice, Han Rui is silent, he can't help himself, he has something to ask for, he has not reached the realm of not caring about foreign things, he refuses, he is open-minded and generous, he laughs at it, and when he encounters a narrow-minded person, he will definitely slander and criticize, criticize and write, and for no reason, Han Rui naturally doesn't want to end up like this, he has no choice but to be out of the picture.

"Han Rui, it is inevitable to sing and sing for entertainment, why is this not the case with the old man."

Yu Shinan said helplessly, sometimes, the emperor is interested, set up a banquet to entertain the ministers, and reprimanded the ministers, at most he advises the emperor a few words, but he can't help but sing praises and whitewash the peace, because this is in line with the emperor's gifts, sacrifices, banquets, and rewards, all of which are the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, no matter how frequent, as long as they are not extravagant and wasteful, and temperance is practiced, there is really no place to blame.

Han Rui complained: "Duke Yu, I don't dislike participating in banquets, socializing, singing, and traveling, but there are too many banquets and tight arrangements, and I lack skills." ”

"In this way, the old man can help you with a detailed explanation." Yu Shinan said, he is indeed experienced, and after a few random glances, he took out a few invitations, drew a few circles, made a mark, and took a few blank posts, pondered for a while, reworded, and merged several banquets together.

After repeating this, the banquet gradually decreased, Han Rui was mixed with joy, pointed to the remaining pile of posts and said, "Gong Yu, what about these, how to deal with them?" ”

"All you have to do is attend these meetings, and the rest can be excused, the gifts will be returned, and a sincere letter of reparation will be given." Yu Shinan sighed and said: "Young juniors, and they are white, they want to excuse themselves, and there is no excuse, so you can bear with it." ”

"Thank you Gong Yu for your teaching." Han Rui said gratefully.

"Go early, drink less, I'm afraid it will be a few days in a row." Yu Shinan said, shook his head and sighed again, got into the carriage, and left.

"Twenty-one Lang, don't look downcast, you should think like this, you can enjoy good wine and food without spending money, that's what many people dream of." Qian Feng persuaded and was envious.

"You can come with me if you want." Han Rui said.

"Hehe, that's not good." Qian Feng smiled and said: "Besides, I just settled down in the Guozi Prison, and when I come back from leave today, I will pack my luggage, and I will live in the prison in the future, so I don't have time to accompany me." ”

"Why, you really can't stay out of the house?" Han Rui frowned.

"It's not that it can't work, it's troublesome." Qian Feng explained: "Guozijian stipulates that the fifth watch will get up in the morning, after washing, the doctor and the assistant teacher will begin to teach the scriptures and lectures, and after lunch, they will continue until dinner, turn off the lights on time and go to bed, very regular, think about it, if I live here, wouldn't it be to get up on the fourth watch, and before dawn, I have to rush to Chang'an City, and wait until the city gate opens, and then go to Guozijian, calculate, I know that the time must be too late." ”

"Well, too." Han Rui nodded and said, "It's okay to stay overnight, communicate with teachers and classmates more, and your knowledge will naturally be easy to improve." ”

"That's what I said." Qian Feng stroked his slightly convex belly, and said with a sad face: "It's only two meals in one day, and it's tormenting." ”

"Two words, patience." Han Rui smiled: "Then, it becomes natural." ”

"Hmph, there's always a way." Qian Feng pouted and said: "No matter how strict the rules are, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, I don't believe that among the three thousand Confucian students in the country, there are no colleagues who do not steal food." ”

Han Rui was speechless, patted Qian Feng's shoulder, and comforted: "It's really not good, ask Qian Gui to bring a message, what you want to eat, I'll bring it to you." ”

"Then it's better to just let the money be expensive, and it has to go through you?" Qian Feng was disdainful, shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, as you said, a man who is about to get married is really easy to be stupid." ”

Han Rui was annoyed and ashamed, and immediately slaughtered the past, tossed for a long time, lay down in the banquet with a smile, rested for a while, and then stood up to clean up the messy house, it was just a few straw mats, just spread it with his hands, and looked at the simple, even simple house, Han Rui's smile slowly faded.

patted Qian Feng on the bed, Han Rui sat on the ground, and said seriously: "Third brother, if it's fast, it's one month, and if it's slow, it's two months, I'm going to get married, think about it, it seems a little hasty." ”

"Why, you regret it." Qian Feng turned over, with an excited face, and hurriedly said: "Ready to repent of marriage, I will help you refer to it, there are several plans, one is to leave directly, and the other is to ......" gushed endlessly, and immediately said four or five methods, and even the escape route has been planned, maybe even the luggage is coiled, it is prepared for Han Rui, it is really enough brother.

"Of course, it is my real surname to stick a knife in my brother's ribs......" Qian Feng patted his chest and laughed heartily, and found that Han Rui's face was not good, so he immediately stopped talking.

"I'm not going to regret my marriage." Han Rui said.

Qian Feng was puzzled: "Then what do you mean by being sloppy?" ”

"I made a hasty decision, but I forgot that Chang'an is not Yangzhou after all." Han Rui said distressedly: "Although these words have come, thanks to the care of you, the third brother, and many new friends, the entanglement brought here has not been touched, but it is difficult to support a wedding banquet." ”

"Twenty-one Lang, that's your fault." Qian Feng said unhappily: "Although I don't approve of your marriage with the Zheng family, but one yard is one yard, and it can't be mixed up. ”

"I have to ask you for help, it's a big deal, I'll pay it back as soon as I go back." Han Rui said calmly: "The problem is that the wedding banquet costs a lot, let alone us, even my uncle, I'm afraid there is none, when I go out, it is not as good as at home, so I naturally carry it according to the amount, but I didn't expect there to be an accident." ”

"That's right." Qian Feng thought so.

After all, it is the Tang Dynasty, no better than later generations, a card is enough to roam the world, as long as there is a bank, I am not afraid that I can't withdraw money, the premise is naturally that there is money in the card, Han Rui sighed, in fact, he doesn't know that opening a money bank in the Tang Dynasty is also a way to make money and get rich, maybe it won't take a few years, you can get the money of the rich country.

However, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, especially after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the status of businessmen was not as good as the next generation, and the so-called famous businessmen took the road of collusion between officials and businessmen, and the same was true for Qian Xu, and the amount of filial piety every year was not small, and it was still precarious.

After all, in the eyes of the powerful, businessmen and sheep are undoubtedly fattened, so they naturally want to slaughter and eat meat, at most pay attention to some eating appearances, don't behave ugly, make wedding clothes for others, of course Han Rui can't accept it, and would rather bury many ways to make money in his heart than leak it out, which is coveted.

"I think you can postpone the date and make another plan." Qian Feng proposed, his heart revealed.

Rolling his eyes, Han Rui said, "I'm afraid of change." ”

Just wanted this result, Qian Feng muttered secretly, spread his hands and said: "Even if you send someone back to Yangzhou to get it, it will take a long time, I have no choice, I can't conjure up money out of thin air." ”

"If in the end there is still no way." Han Rui sighed and said: "Then I will eat soft rice back, anyway, the soft rice is fragrant and delicious, and it is also a skill to eat it, some people don't have a chance to eat it if they want to." ”

"What do you mean by eating soft rice?" Qian Feng said inexplicably.

"Hey, there's no point." Han Rui scratched his head and sneered: "Forget it, you can go to study with peace of mind, I will go to see you when I have time, I will think of a way, no, only ...... Compromise and seek perfection once. ”

"No, you must be hiding something." Qian Feng snorted and said: "Twenty-one Lang, if you are not sincere to people, it is not a gentleman's doing, and you should not invite it from the truth." ”

"Absolutely not." Han Rui said, but the confidence was insufficient, Qian Feng was about to be tortured, but he heard a young man's voice outside: "Brother Han is here, Brother Helan has an accident......
