Chapter 340: A Private Garden Gathering
Han Rui believes that in the world, there is no love for no reason, and naturally there is no hate for no reason, even jealousy has a bottom line, unless the skin is torn, otherwise ordinary people just put it in their hearts, and it is not so easy to show it, but a few people, obviously deliberately targeted, somewhat unreasonable, if someone provokes, then it can be understood.
"Fu Jie, how's it going?"
Han Rui groaned, met Cui Bai in the corridor, heard his inquiry, smiled brightly, waved his hand and said: "It's not a deep grudge, if you talk about it, it's naturally fine." ”
"So fast, these boys, they will definitely not be able to wipe off their faces, and they don't have a proper attitude...... "After scolding, Cui Bai said: "Fu Jie, you tell the truth, if you think they are not sincere enough, just speak out, and wait for me to teach them a lesson." ”
"It's okay, I just pleaded guilty, and I was sincere, which made me a little embarrassed." Han Rui smiled slightly bitterly: "I didn't want to come over, but you just arranged it like this, so that the other elders knew, most of the blame was on me for not being tolerant." ”
"Don't think about it, these boys deserve it, you have nothing to do with it, but you helped them resolve the disaster regardless of their previous grievances, and everyone is very grateful." Cui Bai persuaded him to understand that the rights and wrongs of this matter, the children of the Cui and Zheng families saw it in their eyes, and they would not reverse black and white and blame Han Rui.
Of course, it's hard to say whether he is really grateful in his heart, and Han Rui doesn't care, after all, people are unpredictable, until now, he is also speculating in his heart whether it is the family of Beixue Daotong who framed him for dismissal, whether the Cui Zheng family knows, if so, but he didn't tell himself, such an in-law, don't do it.
It's not that Han Rui is suspicious, but the situation is a little complicated, it's not that he has no clue, the main thing is that there may be too many surnames, and there are no obvious clues, the whole thing seems to be covered with a layer of fog, so that Han Rui doesn't know which direction to investigate, so before the matter is clear, naturally everyone is suspicious.
Thinking in his heart, Han Rui coping and said: "I think, maybe there is a lack of communication between us, they have a little misunderstanding of me, in the future, there will be more gatherings, drinking and feasting, and the relationship will naturally be harmonious." ”
"Yes." Cui Bai nodded in agreement, hesitated, and said with a smile: "Fu Jie, if you are free, follow us to the soup bath, and then watch the cockfight, and go ......."
Cui Bai gushed endlessly, listing the favorite games of the children for a long time, before, hearing such an invitation, Han Rui naturally politely refused, but now he was about to speak, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately changed his words and agreed.
"Hey, you're really going?" Cui Bai was a little stunned.
Han Rui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Before, I didn't see such a refreshing ......" Cui Bai muttered to himself, suddenly thinking of Han Rui's recent experience, it is understandable to play and soothe his mood, he was relieved, and immediately smiled: "Of course there is no problem, it is rare that you have this interest, last time in the palace of His Royal Highness Yuanying, you returned disappointed, this time, it will definitely let you enjoy the game." ”
Knowing the surname of this son's brother, Han Rui had to remind again: "That...... I have a good relationship with Yor......"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know that you don't like it, and I won't take you to those places." Cui Bai assured that he was glad that Zheng Nao had found a good husband, but he was also muttering, neither visiting the Qinglou Chu Pavilion nor going to Mazhangtai, what kind of celebrity is it, and what fun is there in life.
Back in the hall, hearing that the matter had been resolved, Zheng Renji was happy, chatted for a while, prepared lunch, those in-laws, embarrassed to stay, left early, the remaining three people, there was not much atmosphere, a few drinks, and the banquet was dispersed, anyway, there was nothing else, Han Ruisuo stayed with Zheng Nao for an appointment, until dinner, then returned by car.
On the way, I made an appointment with Zheng Nao and told me about playing with Cui Ba, the superficial reason was naturally to communicate more and reduce misunderstandings, and asked her to go with her, Zheng Naoyue shook his head and smiled: "Ming, I will accompany A-Niang to the incense, and it is good for the husband to walk around with them more, if there are still people who don't know what to do, don't put up with it anymore." ”
Han Rui smiled, and thought so in his heart, after all, he was too modest, and he had to show some grandeur properly, so as not to make people feel weak and bullied.
The next day, Han Rui brought two servants, specially dressed in the robes of a precious silk tailor, a golden crown and jade belt, black satin leather boots, and played with a small and delicate jade Ruyi in his hand, dressed up, just like the son and brother of a prince and nobleman.
The so-called extravagant, extravagant, in recent years, Han Rui has been in contact with all high-ranking officials, court ministers, emperor and crown prince, imperceptibly, unconsciously, but also contaminated with a bit of the bearing of the superior, riding on the green horse, when he appeared in front of Cui Bai's eyes, if it wasn't for Han Rui to open his mouth, he would hardly react.
"Fu Jie, it's you ......" Cui Bai was surprised.
"yes, what's wrong?" Han Rui said with a smile, it's definitely not to show off, it's just to increase the sense of identity of those sons and brothers, and it's easier to inquire about the news.
"I think it's a little abrupt, but ......" After looking around in a circle for a moment, Cui Bai nodded and said: "This is decent, the previous white shirt and Confucian robe should have been lost a long time ago, and it doesn't match your identity at all." ”
This is not used to it, Han Rui felt that the white shirt and Confucian robe were more comfortable, but he did not argue with Cui Bai, politely thanked him for his praise, and asked with a smile: "Now, where are we going?" ”
"East of the city, White Tiger View." With the support of the servants, Cui Bai stepped on the horse and said in high spirits: "Take you to see it, I'm afraid that you will linger and don't want to return, and you will complain that I have taken you badly." ”
Han Rui was noncommittal, looking left and right and said, "Just the two of us?" ”
"How is that possible?" Cui Bai said: "There are a lot of people, you will know when you go." ”
Han Rui nodded, didn't ask again, and rode forward, his eyes were gloomy, hoping that this trip could be fulfilled.
In the east of the city, the White Tiger View, just at the foot of Lishan Mountain, near the peony flower ditch, there is a spring in the ditch, it is very pure, the gurgling overflows, the flowers and trees in the watering ditch grow luxuriantly, lush, the flower color is particularly delicate, when you arrive here, you feel a cool breath coming to your face, refreshing people's hearts.
At the end of late spring, summer is coming, the scorching heat, silently coming, running horses galloping, the body is a little hot, the forehead is slightly sweaty, coming here, like drinking cold water, transparent and comfortable, Han Rui can't help but praise: "Good place, in the middle of summer in the future, it's not bad to come here to escape the heat." ”
"It's okay to play, it's not okay to escape the heat here, next time I take you to a place, that's the resort for the summer." Cui Bai said, drove the horse around, walked for a long time, and then came to the White Tiger Temple, instructed the accompanying servants, took care of the horses, and walked directly in.
The simple and elegant building, the eaves and the arches, also have a bit of momentum, but the place is more remote, the pilgrims seem to be less, almost nothing, before the main hall, enshrine the statue of Laojun, a few pillars in the furnace are fragrant, cold and deserted, even the figure is not seen, the corner of the platform is not cleaned, there is a layer of dust, the roof truss is above, it is covered with cobwebs.
Seeing this, Han Rui frowned and said, "You didn't come to the wrong place, did you?" ”
"That's right, this is it, no hurry." Cui Bai smiled and called out loudly: "Sanyuan, come out to pick up the guests." ”
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind the hall, and someone panted and said, "Coming, coming......"
Subsequently, the side door of the hall, the curtain was lifted, and a Taoist priest who looked like a Taoist priest appeared, why do you say this, because this Taoist priest is really not like a Taoist priest, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a simple smile on his face, and the Taoist robe on his body seems to have been stolen from somewhere, and it is wide and long, not close to the body at all, and the corners of the cuffs and trousers are rolled up, barely tripping, looking nondescript, how to look, how awkward.
"Cui Gongzi, you're here." The Taoist priest seemed to recognize Cui Ba, and his smiling face was even more eager, but when he found Han Rui, he hesitated and asked, "Who is this son?" ”
"My niece-in-law." Cui Bai waved his hand and said, "Okay, ask so much what to do, and don't lead the way." ”
Since it is Cui Bai's relative, there is nothing to worry about, the Taoist priest hurriedly nodded and bowed, hurriedly lifted the curtain, bowed down to invite, and skillfully moved, it can be seen that he should serve people all year round, and he is definitely not a Taoist priest who escapes from the world.
Behind the curtain, it is a tortuous road, a little dim, go around the corner for a while, suddenly open up in front of you, it is a courtyard, exquisite pavilions and pavilions, quiet and beautiful flower beds and shrubs, swaying in the wind, green leaves are dotted with flowers, clusters, strange flowers and plants, the thick fragrance is intoxicating.
Unexpectedly, and a little unexpected, Han Rui also vaguely expected just now that the place where these sons and brothers play would definitely not be so simple, but he didn't expect that after the White Tiger Temple, there was actually an exquisite courtyard.
"Be surprised." Cui Bai smirked: "You can't guess what this place used to be." ”
Without the slightest hint, how could it be possible to guess it, Han Rui shook his head and simply asked, "What is the place?" ”
"I know you can't guess, this is the private garden of Yang Su, the former Duke of Chu." Cui Bai gave the answer directly, and sighed a little: "This is only a part of it, I heard people say, back then, when Yang Su was alive, this private garden, very wide, covering an area of more than dozens of miles, pavilions, high and low, the stream lingers through it, the birds sing in the village, the fish leaps over the lotus pond, the house is decorated with gold and splendor, like a palace, the main hall of the Taoist temple just now, just the people are sincere in etiquette, specially built, just occupy half of the corner of the garden, equivalent to the palm of the big place, after that, Yang Su died, Yang Xuan rebelled, after the defeat, Emperor Yang raided his family and exterminated his family, no one ran it, and the private garden was abandoned. ”
"A few years ago, someone passed by here and found that most of the private garden buildings had been destroyed, only the Taoist temple and the courtyard next to it were preserved, so they simply bought it and transformed it into its current appearance, which can be regarded as a private ......place," Cui Bai gushed and said, "But now, it is cheaper for us, and no one cares about how noisy it is." ”
