Chapter 185: Li Jing's Gift

Han Rui stopped in astonishment, saw Li Xiyin's figure gradually moving away, and finally did not chase after him, stood for a moment, sighed and left, returned to the grass market under Lishan Mountain, retrieved the green horse, and galloped away, his mood was quite complicated, he returned to the hut, took a simple bath, lay down and fell asleep, until noon the next day, he woke up in a daze.

I didn't have to participate in any more banquets, I felt extremely happy, I solved the lunch, Qian Xu came to the door to discuss the relocation of the new home, how to prepare, what ceremonies to hold, worship all kinds of ghosts and gods, many cumbersome details, Han Rui only nodded and obeyed, and was not qualified to say irresponsible words.

In the next few days, under Qian Xu's arrangement, Han Rui's main energy was to focus on the trivial matters of moving, and occasionally went to Xinfeng to visit Helan Chushi, and when he saw that he was recovering, he also put his mind at ease, and sometimes he also boasted jokes with a group of teenagers of the same age to enhance friendship, or visited Yu Shinan's mansion.

However, since he decided to revise the scriptures, Yu Shinan seems to have become extremely busy, as if he has been running outside all day, visiting a few times, but always in the air, occasionally meeting, and not chatting for long, Yu Shinan perfunctory words of encouragement, and hurried out to visit which Confucian.

There aren't many worries, and Yuzi is quite leisurely.

"Oh, it's so ...... to have such a happy life. Wrath. Qian Feng, who came back from Guozijian on leave, saw Han Rui's idle, leisurely appearance, and he was angry, like the waves of a river, surging.

Think about yourself, studying hard in the Guozi Prison, pure heart and few desires, even adding food secretly, lest the doctor and the assistant teacher in the prison find out, only a few years of hard work, he has already lost weight to the appearance, but Han Rui is good, enjoy the delicious food, easily, and his reputation is widely spread among the princes and magnates, and the two are contrasted...... Phew, compared with him, it's clear that he is uncomfortable.

"You didn't see me when I was so hard." Han Rui complained: "Big feasts and small feasts, one after another, feasting and drinking every day, no one stops, like a drunken dream of death, at that time I even smelled wine, I was about to gause, recuperated for a few days, and finally recovered." ”

"It's not that miserable, is it?" Qian Feng was skeptical.

"There is a degree to everything, for example, the third brother, you can eat five bowls in one meal, if you are given another half bowl, can you still eat it."

Hearing Han Rui's analogy, Qian Feng did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Naturally, after a few days in the Guozi Prison, let alone five bowls, even six or seven bowls, it will not be a problem." ”

Han Rui was speechless for a moment, and glanced at Qian Feng, no wonder he didn't see a loss, but gained a lot of weight.

"Okay, you two, don't rub around in the house, get out of the car quickly, and get ready to go." Qian Xu shouted outside, Han Rui and Qian Feng hurriedly stood up, rolled up the mat, put it back on the couch, cleaned up some bits and pieces, walked out of the door, turned around and looked at the quiet and elegant thatched hut, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"When you're free, come and stay for a few more days." Qian Feng proposed, maybe he had lived there for a long time, as if he had forgotten that this was Yu Shinan's house, and subconsciously regarded it as his home.

Han Rui nodded slightly, looked at it for a moment, turned around and got into the carriage, and said with a smile: "Third brother, let's go, go and see the new house, I specially left a big house for you, and asked the carpenter to tailor a big couch for you, which will definitely satisfy you." ”

"That's enough righteousness." Qian Feng smiled and climbed into Han Rui's carriage, but resolutely did not sit in the same car with his father Qian Xu, so as not to have another accident.

"Departure ......" order, several carriages galloped away, the sound of hooves, stirring up smoke and dust all the way, and soon arrived at the new house near Lishan, which was a little different from the previous days, the walls of the house were repainted, the green leaves were shady, and the white walls were tiled, perhaps it was a psychological effect, Han Rui felt that it was very pleasing to the eye.

"Where's my big house?" Qian Feng was a little impatient, with his physique, living in the dormitory of Guozijian was indeed a little reluctant, but it was not that he couldn't sleep, but he was a little restrained and not comfortable enough.

"The inner room ......" Han Rui said with a smile, leading Qian Feng and was about to go inside, but Qian Xu stopped him.

"Wait, first calm the spirit, return to the fire, and then go in." Qian Xu said, instructed a servant, holding Han Rui's parents and grandfather's tablet to enter the house first, enshrine it, light a few incense sticks, stand in front of the tablet, and at the same time place all kinds of offerings, waiting for Han Rui to come and bow.

Under Qian Xu's instructions, the other servants hurriedly moved the firewood and rice to the kitchen, implying that there was wealth to the house, prosperity, and prosperity. ”

Han Rui took the incense and walked towards the courtyard door, and the servants next to him hurriedly hugged him, calling out auspicious greetings such as many sons and blessings, prosperous fortune, steady progress, and gold and jade, at this time, there was a crackling sound in the front yard, but it was a few servants who were burning firecrackers, pay attention, this is really burning bamboo, not firecrackers.

In the past, Han Rui really didn't know, it turned out that in the Tang Dynasty, the firecrackers burned during the New Year's festival were really cut down a few large bamboos to burn, and they were peeled to listen to the sound to ward off evil ghosts, but they were not the kind of firecrackers filled with gunpowder in later generations.

Lamenting that he was lonely and unheard, Han Rui did not delay, directly crossed the front yard, walked into the hall, stood in the center, prayed to the ethereal gods, and then bowed a few times around the four corners of the hall.

Anyway, in the four corners of the hall, there are all kinds of sacrifices, just worship the incense, what is the specific meaning, Han Rui is too lazy to inquire, after worshipping the four corners, under the guidance of Qian Xu, and worship the land, stove Jun and other ghosts and gods, and finally came to the small ancestral hall in the corner of the inner house, respectfully bowed, and incense to the ancestral tablet.

After a red tape, it took nearly an hour to be considered complete, Han Rui was really relieved, and he didn't have time to wipe the hot sweat all over his body, so he grabbed Qian Feng who was excited, and shouted to see his big house, but unfortunately, Qian Xu dispelled their delusions in time, the matter has not been resolved, and after the worship, the move can be regarded as the official start.

The couch case, the Luo tent silk, one after another, slowly moved in, how should it be placed, arranged, is also a very particular thing, related to feng shui, not a little sloppy, I have consulted Mr. Yin and Yang, Qian Xu knows in his heart, the command is determined, orderly, but it has also been tossed for a long time, until the afternoon, it is barely arranged.

At this time, Han Rui and Qian Feng both felt a little exhausted, where was they still in the mood to watch the house, hurriedly eaten, lay down for a while, and then recovered a little spirit, Qian Feng was full of interest, and immediately pulled Han Rui around a few times, and saw everything inside and outside the house, and his interest decreased slightly, and he drew attention to other things.

"Twenty-one Lang, yes, so many people sent housewarming gifts." Looking at the brocade boxes in the room, vaguely smelling the familiar aroma of wine, Qian Feng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Open it and take a look." ”

Without waiting for Han Rui to agree, Qian Feng took matters into his own hands and opened a gift box, which was indeed a jar of fine wine, Qian Feng salivated, tore open the lid casually, and drank the altar, at this moment, a brush drove over and flew directly towards his forehead.

Bang, listening to the sound and identifying the position, Qian Feng quickly dodged, and said with a smile: "Aya, I knew you would come to this trick." ”

Hmph, Qian Xu was in a good mood, he was too lazy to bother with him, he smiled and reminded: "Twenty-one Lang, I was too busy just now, and I didn't have time to record the gifts sent by various families, so let's make a list now." ”

Han Rui naturally has no opinion, people are sophisticated, gifts are still exchanged, people give gifts, they always have to pay back, but sooner or later, make a list, it can also be used as the basis for returning the gift in the future, this practice, Han Rui does not want to evaluate, but after thousands of years, it is still the same, which shows the reason for its existence.

"The Zheng family, 100,000 yuan, a number of tatami silk shackles, wine and meat meals."

Instructed Qian Feng to record, Qian Xu was responsible for inspecting, estimating the price, and said from time to time: "Helan Chu stone, white horse silver bow, ten gold pills, and several altars of fine wine, about 60,000 yuan." ”

Ten thousand yuan, one hundred thousand yuan is one hundred yuan, enough for ordinary people's homes to spend more than a year, the Zheng family is rich, and the amount is equivalent to a dime, but for Helan Chushi, it should be a very generous and bold behavior, Han Rui secretly shook his head, remembering in his heart, when he was going to return it to him.

While lamenting the boldness of the friends Han Rui made, Qian Xu didn't think much about it, and continued to inspect the gift box, literati like Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun naturally did not send money directly, but their own calligraphy works, even Yan Liben, who was not friendly, also sent a picture, which was an unexpected surprise.

There are others, Han Rui's banquet is not for nothing, it is just a one-sided relationship, and I don't know where those officials and nobles inquired about the news, they all have gifts to offer, just to express their hearts, not to talk about how rich, but the accumulation of small amounts, adding up to millions, makes Qian Feng dumbfounded, and he strongly encourages Han Rui, if he moves a few times every three or five times, he should be able to sell another house.

"Nonsense." Qian Xu scolded with a smile: "I'm not afraid of making people laugh at this kind of work." ”

"I don't know how to return this kind of favor in the future." Han Rui also smiled and said, "Maybe, I still have to add money." ”

"That's the same reason." Qian Xu said with a smile, and wanted to take a gift box again, but found that it was heavy in his hand, and he couldn't lift it for a while, so he was slightly stunned, and while guessing what was inside, he mustered up all his strength, picked up the gift box, and put it on the case.

Qian Feng watched curiously, immediately opened his eyes wide, and said with a smile: "Twenty-one Lang, this is a gift from General Li Jing. ”

Well, Han Rui's expression was indifferent, even people like the eldest Sun Wuji and Cheng Yanjin, who were barely acquaintances, sent expensive congratulatory gifts, not to mention Li Jing, not to mention Han Qi's relationship, only talking about the matter of Lishan, Li Jing's move today is reasonable.

"Li Gong......" heard the names of well-known high-ranking officials and magnates in a row, Qian Xu was used to it, said in his mouth, opened the gift box, but suddenly fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

"Ayer, what's wrong?" Qian Feng asked, "What did General Li send?" ”

"Gold...... Ten pounds. ”
