"Drinking, how can we be missing."

Vaguely heard a little voice, and a few more people came around, Han Rui chuckled, and agreed to come down, Shen Shi got off work, his qualifications were too shallow, so he naturally would not arrange for Han Rui to be on duty at night, and under the support of a group of enthusiastic colleagues, he called friends and went straight to Dongshi, quite a bit of a big meal.

However, when I really arrived in Dongshi, I found an ordinary restaurant, entered a relatively secluded courtyard, and the fruit and melon dishes were not on, so I began to move the altar and hold the pot, distribute the wine cup, and raise a glass to drink, and I was not a stranger.

Talking about the southeast and northwest, Han Rui's heart moved, and he said in distress: "At present, the younger brother lives outside the city, and it is inconvenient to make a point, so he is ready to live in the city, but for a while, he can't find a suitable house, you brothers have lived in the capital for a long time, I think they are well-informed and well-connected, I hope you can help pay attention." ”

"No problem." Everyone agreed repeatedly, and someone joked: "After the deed is completed, remember to invite us to a good meal again." ”

"It's like a wine bag and a rice bag, so I think about eating and drinking, and I don't ask clearly." Shangguan Yi scolded with a smile and asked Han Rui seriously what kind of house he wanted.

"Moderate, no matter east, south, north, west, as long as it's in the city." Han Rui smiled and added: "It's best to be like Brother Shangguan's house, with a little Jiangnan charm, after all, I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and I am quite nostalgic." ”

"Haha, this is not easy to do, You Shao's mansion, many of which he designed by himself and then asked craftsmen to build them."

"Brother Shangguan is really versatile." Han Rui praised, his eyes lit up slightly, this is a good idea, buy a house and tear it down, and then build it according to his own ideas, the problem is that it takes too long, and he can't wait.

Hesitating, Han Rui's expression was written on his face, and others could see it, Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "Don't listen to their nonsense, where is my own design, thanks to Yan Shilang's guidance, otherwise how could I have cultivated so finely." ”

Han Rui nodded in understanding, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, time doesn't wait, and it doesn't matter if there is Jiangnan charm or not, I still have to find a house quickly, and after settling down, I will talk about other things." ”

Everyone thought so, and recalled it one after another, there were also a few hearsay news, whether it was useful or not, Han Rui toasted and thanked them one by one, wrote them down carefully, and prepared to go back and send someone to understand the situation, if it was suitable, then spend money to buy it, I didn't want to live in Zheng Mansion for a long time, it was a bit of a feeling of being under the fence, and it was not very comfortable.

Drink to the end of the day, before the curfew, the restaurant closed, everyone also dispersed, the first day of work, there is no special encounter, it can be called ordinary, the intrigue, but also did not meet, maybe the officialdom of the Zhenguan period, there is no imaginary darkness, or maybe some people, feel that they are not threatened, naturally will not deliberately embarrass it.

Han Rui speculated that there was no answer, but he was quite satisfied with his performance today, neither unconventional nor attention-grabbing, nor would he make people indifferent to his existence.

Actually, Han Rui doesn't want to do nothing, he is always a little ambitious, so there is no need to be delusional about that position, but he is a very popular minister, above the high-ranking officials in the court, it seems to be a good choice, there is motivation to improve, it is not necessarily a bad thing, but the road is far away, you still need to be down-to-earth, move forward slowly, there will always be a day when it will come to pass, as for now, of course, according to the instructions of Yu Shinan and Zheng Renji and others, listen more, see more, do more, and ask less why.

Since then, Han Rui has bid farewell to his son who is at home, and his life has become ...... More leisurely, after a few days, Han Rui found that the work of the secretary and supervisor is really as Shangguan Yi said, very easy, the so-called school scrivener is actually proofreading the text of books and articles, but the secretary and supervisor don't seem to have so many books and articles to proofread.

Before, the secretary supervised and repaired the history books, and Han Rui could still be useful, but now, it seems that it has been separated, and officials such as school scholars and orthography have become idle, and their current work is to sort out the books in the library, take them out from time to time and look through them, check if there are any insects and mold, and if there is, copy copies, if not, then what should I do.

Anyway, Han Rui found that other school scrivener colleagues, when they have nothing to do, turn the book to turn the book, move the pen, bury their heads in the case, as long as they don't disturb others, it will become, and they rarely talk to each other, after all, this is the imperial city, outside the official office, there are often imperial officials, priests, and patrols often pass by, according to a few colleagues, the job of those people is to catch everyone's mistakes and get promoted to reward, and then replace themselves, so you must be cautious and don't give them a chance.

is a very vivid analogy, originally Han Rui was a little unbelieving, but a colleague proudly said that he had been in ambush for more than half a year before he caught this opportunity to be motivated, a bit of a joke, I don't know if it's true or not, but Han Rui didn't doubt it.

During this period, I also saw Yu Shinan a few times, and it was really the same as I had guessed before, but he nodded very indifferently, without much close smile, just to avoid suspicion, Han Rui can also understand.

As for a few chief officials, except for when they went to work, they showed their faces, and then they hid in the house, and they didn't know what they were doing, and if they needed to, they called out, and naturally someone rushed to listen to the order.

However, after a few more days, Han Rui found out that the so-called leisure was just a superficial phenomenon, the one who turned the book was looking for information, and the one who started writing was writing articles, these were all tasks assigned by the emperor, but unfortunately, although Han Rui had a great reputation outside, but in the secretary and supervisor, he was still a new ding, and he was still during the inspection, but it was not his turn to deal with such things, and Han Rui did not have any feeling of not meeting talents, recognizing the gap between himself and others, slowly accumulating learning, and waiting for opportunities.

The things in the world are not just transferred for individuals, day after day, not every day is so exciting, but Han Rui also feels very fulfilling, after all, human beings are sometimes so strange, if you don't find something to do for yourself, you will feel bored and boring.

Under their guidance, after Zheng Nao's visit, he really fell in love with a house, but it was not determined, in fact, according to Han Rui's meaning, if she thinks it is okay and the price is not outrageous, then buy it directly, anyway, she has made a windfall recently, and it is not bad money.

However, Zheng Naoyue said seriously: "The husband is the head of the family, and such a major event naturally requires you to make a decision." ”

"Between husband and wife, what do you share with each other." Han Rui smiled, but his heart was very happy, he couldn't bear Zheng Nao's gentle words, and decided to accompany her to watch it.

It just so happened that it was the Lantern Festival again, and Han Rui was lucky that he didn't have to go to work, so he had breakfast early in the morning, so he accompanied Zheng Nao to ask them to go by car.

"Lang Jun, we saw it yesterday, it is near the Xiuzheng Fang, where it is close to the Qujiang River, the environment is quiet and lush, out of the house, a few steps later, you can see the river." Liuying said, her voice crisp and pleasant, like a finch chirping, squeaking and chirping.

"If it is near Qujiang Garden, the geography is excellent, the environment is naturally good, and it doesn't matter if the house is old." Han Rui nodded and smiled: "Let's stay for the time being, and then slowly repair it, maybe simply rebuild it." ”

"Lang Jun rest assured, the house is not old at all, it is like a new building, very elegant......"

In the midst of Liuying's explanation, the carriage drove quickly, following the avenue all the way south, and soon after, it came to the Xiuzheng Workshop, turned a few alleys, and slowly stopped.

Han Rui took the lead in getting out of the car, helped a few people down, looked back at the surrounding environment, and found that it was indeed quiet and elegant, a few tall trees in front of the house, with lush branches and leaves, had been lurking for months, and a few small birds also appeared between the branches and leaves, chirping and screaming, and the song was crisp and bright, and the dust was clean.

After the trees, it is the eaves and arches, the high wall of blue bricks, a few steps above, is the door of the house, painted with light paint, the plaque of the lintel is very exquisite, and the construction is very fine.

The servant stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a person who looked like an old butler came to open the door, and when he saw Zheng Naoyue and others, he was busy with a smiling face, bowed down and said: "Madam is here, how do you think about it, if you have no opinion, you can make a contract now." ”

"Don't worry, this is my husband, it depends on what he means." Zheng Naoyue smiled lightly.

The old housekeeper was stunned, but he was overjoyed, if he didn't have the intention, how could Han Rui come over, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, leading everyone into the door, under his feet was a blue brick paving, without revealing the soil, very clean and tidy, through the hanging flower door in the middle of the outer courtyard, it was a spacious living room, the layout was simple, but the lighting was good, very comfortable.

Walk along the living room, is the wide main bedroom, the east and west sides are three wings, between the main room and the wing, two moon doors are placed separately, leading to the backyard, walk through the cross road, but see the backyard flower garden lush, a small pond stands in the center, the clear water, clear and transparent, a few silverfish swim, vivid.

Next to it is the exquisite pavilion, the flower vine climbs the pavilion cover, like the weeping poplar silk willow, hanging on both sides, like a natural barrier, in the middle of summer, sitting in the pavilion, close to the clear water, the cool breeze is comfortable, it must be very pleasant.

After turning around twice, I came to the bedroom of the main house, turned the interstitial screen, it was a small three rooms, and then walked to the bedroom, only to see that the beds and couches had been moved, but they were very clean, and it could be seen that the layout and decoration of this main room were all carefully designed, Han Rui was stunned and didn't find anything wrong, his eyes were full of appreciation, and he had inexplicable doubts in his heart.

This is too coincidental, an ordinary and moderate house, with the charm of Jiangnan, and judging from the traces of bricks and tiles, the year of construction should not be very long, but more than five years, how can it be transferred?

"Husband, what do you think?"
