Whether it is sincere to congratulate, or tend to be inflammatory, the guests are still in front of the door in and out, the difference is not very big, the only thing that is the same, is that they all come with gifts, a smile, the opening is congratulations, Tian Ding import, children and grandchildren and other auspicious greetings.

After getting out of the carriage and seeing the lively scene in front of him, Han Rui smiled and said, "Prince, do we show our identities and wait for Zhang to come out to greet them, or do we go in quietly, eat and drink enough, and leave?" ”

Li Chengqian groaned, at this time, it was about two o'clock in the Shen hour, which happened to be the peak period for the court officials to get off work, and the dignitaries who came to congratulate him were in an endless stream, and the servants in charge of the reception were busy, dazzled, dizzy, and looked at it for a while, Li Chengqian felt that he still didn't want to make trouble for others, and smiled at the moment: "Don't report it, go in quietly, so as not to disturb the host's interest, and after the banquet, it's not too late to show your identity." ”

Disclosure of the identity of the prince, most of these guests revolve around him, annoying, but Li Chengqian is not stupid, he does not identify himself, who knows that he has been here. Acting like this, although she is suspected of winning people's hearts, Han Rui feels that this should be a two-way thing, perhaps, Zhang Xuansu wishes that Li Chengqian would do this, the grandson is full of moon, the prince comes to congratulate, say it, it will have more face, and it can also win a good reputation for Li Chengqian, which can be called a win-win situation.

"Alright, bring a gift and let's go." Han Rui smiled, sideways to invite, Li Chengqian was not polite, smiled and carried the gift box, came to the door to record the gift in front of the emcee, put the gift on the bookcase, the emcee buried his head in copying, did not even raise his head, waved his hand directly, the two looked at each other and smiled, crowded in the crowd, followed the line, and slowly walked into the house.

Similar to many famous ministers, Zhang Xuansu's mansion is not luxurious and luxurious, but it is the surname of the literati, there are many pomegranates and plantains planted under the courtyard wall, and along a pebble path, it is a spacious backyard, with all kinds of flowers and plants planted on both sides of the path, and the rockery and strange stones are scattered in the middle, which is not interesting.

When you arrive at the backyard, there are many guests here, and naturally you can't accommodate many guests, but there are also more than a dozen servants waiting here, diverting and welcoming guests, and according to the identity and status of the guests, they are invited to different places, including the living room of the house, and the corner of the side courtyard.

Seeing this, Han Rui smiled and whispered, "Prince, it seems that you want to show the invitation." ”

"No, what should I do?" Li Chengqian asked, frowning slightly, of course he wasn't worried, but mainly because he didn't want to reveal his identity now.

"Take a detour." Han Rui said, his body was light, his pace was adjusted, and he continued to walk forward with the winding corridor, and at the end was a delicate pavilion, and there were also a few plantain plants in the corner, with wide leaves, swaying a few times, and a few wisps of fresh breeze fanning, which was cool and cool, and it was also quite comfortable.

The pavilion is marked with a note that listening to the rain pavilion, the font is elegant, and there is a law, although it is not as fascinating as Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun, but it is also a rare good word, guessing that it should be Zhang Xuansu's own calligraphy, Han Rui is used to stopping and appreciating for a moment, and commented: "The charm is enough, but it lacks a bit of indulgence and freedom, and it seems a little restrained." ”

"Very much." Li Chengqian nodded and said: "There are traces of Zhang Zhi's cursive writing, but it is too rigid in calligraphy, if you can forget it, you should be able to go further." ”

The two of them, one studied under Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, the other was born noble, and received the highest level of education since childhood, and his father Li Shimin is a fanatical calligraphy lover and calligrapher, and his eyesight is naturally not bad, of course, it is not that the calligraphy of the two is also so powerful, the so-called eye master is low, which refers to their current level.

However, the two of them were not self-aware, and they discussed with great interest, and just when the two of them were commenting, there were several voices behind them, full of ridicule.

"Hmph, two boys, I don't know the height of the sky, I am not ashamed to speak out, and I talk about right and wrong behind my back, how can it be a gentleman's behavior."

"No, I don't even have an invitation, most of them are mixed in, and I don't know if I have the consent of the host's family."

"Hey, isn't that my cousin-in-law, why is he here, and when he sees us, he doesn't say hello."

Han Rui turned around and couldn't help frowning, it's really a place in life where we don't meet, I only met in Zheng Mansion in the morning, and now we meet here again, the "fate" is not shallow, well, I am also a relative, and I didn't give myself the charge of uninvited and bad intentions, so I really have to "thank you" them, so Han Rui decided to ignore it and treat it as if I didn't hear their conversation.

Well, Han Rui is also kind-hearted, you must know that they are ridiculing the crown prince Li Chengqian, that is a big crime, after all, it is also an in-law relationship, Han Rui feels that he should not expose it, lest they be punished, hurt and angry, the best way is to pretend to be deaf and dumb, turn big things into small things, and turn small things into small things, how harmonious.

It's a pity, I don't know, the heads of several in-laws were kicked by the donkey, Han Rui felt that his hints were very clear and understood, but they turned a blind eye and continued to speak sneeringly, in this regard, Han Rui had to express great regret, out of kindness, reminded him, and said with a smile: "Perhaps, my eyesight is not good, but my brother next to me, my father is a rare calligrapher in the world, and he can be described as knowledgeable, no matter what, he will not be wrong." ”

At this point, Han Rui felt that he did not boast that Li Shimin's calligraphy, whether it was the flattery of the court officials or from the perspective of artistic value, was at the best level, considering its special status, the price of the collection could be doubled several times, and it could be on par with Yu Shinan and others.

Sure enough, Zheng Nao asked those cousins and brothers to be shocked, looked at Li Chengqian carefully, and found that his demeanor was not like an ordinary person, so he hurriedly asked politely, after all, although there is Yu Ou in the DPRK, but there are also people in the people, this is a recognized truth, and he is a gentleman, but he is not a stupid, so he naturally has to inquire clearly, so as not to offend people.

Hearing that it was Han Rui's relative, Li Chengqian was also quite polite, and said with a smile: "My surname is Li." ”

Li, Longxi Li, or Zhaojun Li, but among the two families, I haven't heard of any famous calligraphers, they looked at each other for a moment, and sounded again, and got that Li Chengqian was a person from Chang'an, and they were even more confused, whispering for a while, they came to the conclusion, and it was certain that even if Li Chengqian was a son of the Li family in Longxi, and his father was a calligrapher, but his reputation was not obvious, he was not fooling people, or he was deliberately boasting and coaxing, and he was just famous.

As for the status and status, there is no need to scruple, they are Shandong Gaomen, and even the emperor's relatives have to give some face, and they are not committing murder and making trouble, fighting and fighting, but they are just sneering and sarcastic, which is a good thing, so they suddenly sprouted an old state, and they scolded Huai even more excessively.

Han Rui felt strange, why are there always some stupid people in the world who like to elevate themselves by belittling others, don't they know that those who insult others will be insulted, shaking his head, Han Rui felt that if he was worried about them, wouldn't it mean that he had the same level of wisdom as them?

It's not at the same level, no wonder he didn't have much anger in his heart, and suddenly, without the interest of the Yin people, Han Rui shrugged his shoulders and turned around, and said indifferently: "Brother Li, the mosquitoes here are irritable, why don't we go for a walk elsewhere?" ”

Li Chengqian's eyes glanced lightly, thoughtfully, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

After the two of them walked away, a few people reacted, what mosquitoes are irritable? It was late spring, and it was a rare sunny weather, there was no rain, what mosquitoes could there be, it was clearly alluding to them, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and they didn't blame them for being slow to react, mainly because they were used to Han Rui, similar to the attitude of not fighting back and scolding, who would have expected that he would actually sneer at each other.

"It's too much, does he still have our ...... in his eyes"

"No, go settle accounts with him."

"Yes, tell Uncle and let my cousin divorce him."

In the Tang Dynasty, the marriage of men and women was very free, whoever divorced could do it, the princes and nobles were poor scholars, the peddlers were pawns and croppers, the feelings were not harmonious, divorced, and then remarried, that was a common thing, and public opinion would not deliberately favor either side, which was more free and easy than modern times.

"Don't worry, the banquet has started, go to the table first, and it's not too late to reason with him later." One person said, and the others also felt that it was very reasonable, anyway, he could run the monk, but he couldn't run the temple, so he was afraid that he would not be able to fly.

Shandong Gaomen, no matter where they are, are very effective, a few people identified themselves, immediately got a warm reception, to the chief of the hall to sit, the banquet of those bits and pieces, do not need to mention, anyway, singing and dancing strings, the guests are happy, into the half, Zhang Xuansu with his son and daughter-in-law, hugging the full moon little grandson appeared, everyone immediately surrounded it.

This congratulations, this Dao Xi, auspicious blessings are endless, the little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, is not afraid of life, opens his eyes as pure as crystal, beckons his little hands that are as white as snow, and beckons his hands and kicks his legs, it is cute, Zhang Xuansu is very relieved, well, this year, forty or fifty years old, he calls himself an old man, and no one objectes.

Anyway, the interest came, and immediately ordered to go down, the maid hurriedly presented pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Zhang Xuansu held the pen and sleeve, splashed ink, composed a poem, and gave it to his well-behaved little grandson, and got a cheer and applause, everyone praised, but among them, there was a discordant voice.

"Mr. Zhang, poetry is flying, but calligraphy is not very good, sticking to Zhang Zhi's cursive script, a little less round and wishful, free and elegant, not a good grade."

At the moment of joy, there were people who were so ignorant, the bad people were interested, everyone was quiet, looking for prestige, but when they saw the person who opened their mouths, they were filled with indignation: "The person who evaluates is really talking nonsense with his eyes open, according to me, Mr. Zhang's words have reached the natural realm, but some people don't know how to pretend to understand, and they don't understand Confucius at all, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it is for the true meaning of knowing, full of nonsense, arranging in vain, and criticizing ......."

Hearing this, the words of the evaluation just now were not from this person, Zhang Xuansu frowned, and asked: "May I ask the son, who was it just now, who commented on the old man's calligraphy like this?" ”
