It seems that in Han Hui's heart, there is still a view of the door, and in any troublesome situation, he naturally hopes that Han Rui can marry a family like the Zheng family, whether it is snobbish or vulgar, it is all for Han Rui's sake anyway.

Han Rui naturally knew this in his heart, chuckled, and suddenly said: "Uncle Hao, Duke Yu must be very happy to know that you are here, let's go visit him." ”

Perhaps there was also this kind of psychological preparation, Han Hui did not hesitate, nodded slightly, and then talked for a long time, until the night was quieter, and the two fell asleep happily.

The next morning, after breakfast, Han Rui did not delay, set up a carriage, and went straight to Chang'an City with Han Hui, along the way, carefully looking at the surrounding buildings, Han Hui sighed softly: "Twenty years, not only people, but even the country has changed." ”

Although he didn't feel anything, Han Rui couldn't help but echo a few words, at the same time, Yu Shinan was at home, but he was restless, looking up at the door of the hall from time to time, and didn't find any movement, next to him, it was Yu Chang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, that is, Yu Shinan's son, who kept opening his mouth to persuade him: "Aya, don't worry, come over, you will definitely not miss the appointment." ”

Yu Shinan was a little calm, but his expression was still a little excited, even though he was a world-famous Confucian, and he had a deep kung fu in cultivating qi, but in the face of family affection, he might not be able to deal with it calmly, if there was no reaction, I was afraid that it would make people doubt the feelings.

At the right time, Yu An hurried in and called: "Yu Gong, here, here......"

Yu Shinan hurriedly stood up, and with Yu Chang's support, he walked out tremblingly, Han Hui's face came into view, and for a while, he was speechless.

"Uncle, I'm back." Han Hui called lightly, stepped forward and bowed, he hadn't seen him for a few months, he felt that Yu Shinan had aged a little bit again, his heart was sour, and his eyes were slightly moist.

"It's good to come back,......" Yu Shinan said, helping Han Hui up, and there seemed to be a bit of a faint throat in his voice.

At that moment, under the guidance of Yu Shinan, Han Hui came to the house where the ancestral tablets were enshrined, burned incense and worshipped, sacrificed and prayed, and only returned to the hall to sit down after half an hour.

After chatting for a while, hearing the purpose of Han Hui's trip, Yu Shinan suddenly realized, as if ignoring Han Rui, his eyes moved, only to find that he was next to him, as if a little apologetic, Yu Shinan chuckled: "Han Rui is talented, he is a rare talent in the life of the old man, but there is something bad." ”

"Uh, please teach Gong Yu." Han Rui said, guessing in his heart, should it be suppressed first and then raised.

"It's just that there is no youthful vigor, and even worse, there is no ambition." Yu Shinan pondered for a moment and said bluntly: "The slogan is shouted louder than anyone else, but in fact there is no action at all. ”

Han Rui was embarrassed, and regretted it again, he knew that he shouldn't be impulsive, what to set up a heart, establish a life, continue to learn, and open the peace, it is not easy to do.

"It's just an excuse to can't do it, but whether you can do it or not is an attitude." Yu Shinan said lightly: "Since these days, the old man has been busy compiling scriptures and righteousness, and he has no time to pay attention to you, but your affairs, the old man has also heard about it, and finally said that he wandered among the powerful, staggered, chanting the wind and the moon, and if he went on like this, he neglected his studies, did not want to forge ahead, and sooner or later he would fall into vulgarity. ”

Yu Shinan was not angry, nor did he scold sharply, but said calmly: "Han Rui, a genius and talent, as numerous as stars, poetry and literature are superb, and the best in the world, what can I do, in the old man's opinion, it is not as good as a knife and pen official, at least people can judge cases in prison, urge rent and taxes, and do their meager efforts for the court, what about you, Ping said to accompany the emperor and magnates, drink and listen to music, talk about poetry, it seems to be elegant, but in fact he is nothing more than a poet, what are the benefits for the people and the country?" ”

Han Rui was speechless with shame, Han Hui opened his mouth to speak, and when he saw Yu Shinan's eyes, he seemed to have ulterior motives, so he immediately shut up.

"If you continue to do so, for decades...... Well, maybe it won't be that long, more than ten years later. Yu Shinan estimated: "The officials and the people may list you as a courtier, and you will be stigmatized, and you will not be able to wash it away even if you jump into the Yellow River." ”

Han Rui was silent, and Yu Shinan asked, "What, are you doubting the old man's words?" ”

Han Rui scratched his head, it was difficult to answer, after all, there are not a few people who have been famous for centuries with poetry, and their names are more resounding than those emperors and generals, but Yu Shinan's words are also reasonable, in the eyes of historians, no matter how many literati and writers there are, they can't compare to those capable ministers, after all, people are one of the constituent factors that do practical things, benefit the people, and promote social development.

It's just a writer and a lyricist, who can only dance and ink, play tricks, don't pay food, don't pay rent, absorb people's fat and people's ointment, the whole is a parasite of society, naturally, after people die, the calligraphy and painting works left behind are still quite expensive, at least a little effect, not completely waste.

Rubbing his lower nose and lips, Han Rui felt that he had scolded himself too harshly, but after thinking about it, in addition to messing out the Quyuan plough in Hanjia Village, which was a little helpful to the villagers, what he did at other times, not to mention promoting social development, and even did something that was not conducive to the common people.

For example, galloping horses, disturbing passers-by, shouting and making noise in the tavern, although it is only a small section, but the small can be seen as a big thing, and you can know what to do in the future.

Just when Han Rui was reflecting, Yu Shinan said: "You go back first, it's still the same as last time, when will it be clear and perfunctory, and it's no longer a casual perfunctory, let's come to see the old man again." ”

Oh, knowing that Yu Shinan was waking himself up, he wasn't really angry, so Han Rui didn't panic and pleaded guilty, but stood up in response, and left with a little dazed.

After Han Rui walked out of the hall door and disappeared into the corridor, Yu Shinan explained: "Hao'er, it's not that I'm arrogant and unreasonable, the main thing is that I don't want to see a young talent, who spends his life in a mediocre way, do you want him to pass on to future generations only as a poet?" ”

Although he is famous for calligraphy and poetry, no matter Yu Shinan or Ouyang Xun, he will not think so, but feel that these two things are only the products of leisure and cultivating feelings, but what he really focuses on is court politics, or Confucian scriptures, and not only the two of them, but most of the literati in the world are so thoughtful, after all, when they were reading and reading, they began to aim at self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, and everything else was trivial.

Han Rui is an outlier, he has never shown his ambition in this regard, when he said that he was in the country's pride and ambition, Yu Shinan was naturally very happy, but he found that Han Rui was a little inconsistent in his words and deeds, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, but considering that Han Rui had been sick since he was a child, he usually just flipped through books and studied by himself, without a special teacher to teach, and lacked a strong surname, which is also understandable, so he took the opportunity to beat again again, hoping that he would not live up to his heart.

At this time, strolling through the alleys, Han Rui was also confused, perhaps from the moment of crossing to the present, he has been confused for more than half a year, and has been avoiding this problem, until now to Yu Shinan exposed, Han Rui began to face the reality, and asked himself, is it really a waste of his advanced knowledge, do nothing, and be willing to nest in Yangzhou, as a small landlord who has a peaceful life and no worries about food and clothing?

Think about it, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it, idle with his wife and concubine **thrush, do some business in collusion between officials and businessmen, work hard to buy land enclosures, run manors, with their own skills, even if they can't become a rich and rival country, at least they are a big landlord who ranks up in the south of the Yangtze River, maybe after two or three generations, there is another Yangzhou Han family in the world.

As for the Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Uprising, the division of feudal towns, the five dynasties and ten countries, it is indeed a bit messy, and the mainland is afraid that it will not be good, so it is simply set up a dying testament, and let the descendants go overseas to claim the king and hegemony, maybe they can respect their ancestors and what sects, at least they can leave a mark in the history books.

The tide of thought fluctuated, Han Rui went out of the city, all the way, standing on a small hill and looking, winter, the trees withered and yellowed, withered, although there was no snow, but the cold wind howled, blowing a little pain on the face, Han Rui turned around, looked at the majestic Chang'an City, even if he often went in and out, but still amazed.

But I saw that on Yangguan Avenue, the young men who sometimes ran past the fresh clothes and angry horses, or the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the light car canopy and the golden saddle BMW, or the ordinary people in coarse linen clothes and carrying the burden on their shoulders, and even the exotic envoys with deep eyes and high noses, standing on the top of the hill, Han Rui faced the gusts of cold wind, as if he could hear the bell of the camel, the neighing of the horse, the chirping of the green ox, and others, all kinds of sounds, mixed and converging, boiling to the extreme, but very vivid, full of vitality and hope.

This is the vigorous Tang Dynasty, inclusive and inclusive, encompassing the four seas, just like the newborn sun, rising, just a touch of soft brilliance, you can know that when the sun is shining, it must be a radiant, brilliant and dazzling scene, but unfortunately the good times do not last long, and the fall is coming, it is so bleak and dark.

"Han Gongzi!"

The crisp voice, even the larks and the spring stream, was also overshadowed, Han Rui heard the prestige, but saw Ruyi waving his hand and driving over, with a bright smiling face, facing the morning sun, more and more moist and handsome, white skin, glowing with a scorching luster, like a moon, it was really jealous.

Anyway, seeing that the "beauty" was coming, it was pleasing to the eye, Han Rui's slightly depressed mood slowly dissipated a little, and greeted with a smile: "Ruyi, what's the matter with going out of the city?" ”

"On the order of the crown prince, send some things to Han Gongzi." Ruyi smiled, stretched out his hand and waved slightly, and then several carriages stopped, lined up, judging from the dust on the road, the things on the carriage were quite weighty.

"Sent to me?" Han Rui was surprised and asked, "What is it?" ”

Ruyi explained: "Didn't Gongzi Han say that he was planning a wedding, there are some savings from the East Palace to purchase wedding materials, and I won't need it in the future, so the prince will tell me to come over for you." ”

Han Rui was stunned, but when he saw Ruyi's sad face, he pleaded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if you refuse to refuse, you will throw it away and you can't take it back, and I am the only one who asks, Han Gongzi, you should take pity on me, and you will accept it." ”
