In the early morning of February, the air on the bank of the river was filled with a thin white smoke, like rain but not rain, like fog but not fog, hazy, a spacious merchant ship, docked next to it, on the simple wharf, Han Rui and others, farewell.

"San Lang, it's cold at night, remember to cover more layers of silk."

"Living alone in the capital, no one around you to take care of you, don't always mess around in the tavern, remember to go home on time to eat, look at you these days, you have lost weight."

"Also, remember ......" Zheng's thousands of instructions, chattering, very trivial, Qian Feng just nodded, when parting, how could there be no sadness in his heart, his eyes were wet, flashing and crystal clear.

Next to him, Han Rui said softly: "Uncle Hui, after returning to Yangzhou, remember to send me a letter to report your safety." ”

"Well, Lang Jun should be like this, every once in a while, bring a few letters from home." Han Hui said: "If you are free in the future, you must also remember to go back to your hometown to visit relatives and friends." ”

Han Rui nodded slightly, even though he had a thousand words in his heart, but at this time, he was surprisingly unable to say it, sighed softly, and turned into a sentence: "Uncle Hao, take care." ”

"Lang Jun too, but with the young lady here, I'm also relieved." Han Hui turned around and said to Zheng Naoyu: "The young lady has worked hard, and you will have to worry more about the affairs of the family in the future." ”

Zheng Nao saluted and said softly: "As a woman, of course, I wish Uncle Hao a smooth journey on this trip." ”

"Okay, madam, San Lang is older, and he is not a child, he has his own measure in these things." Qian Xu comforted a few words, and taught with a straight face: "Boy, don't think that if you win the Jinshi, everything will be fine, get carried away, and the selection of the officials, if you don't even pass this, then don't go back to your hometown." ”

"Aya don't worry, and stay at home to return home." Qian Feng patted his chest and promised, but he also kept Qian Xu's reminder in mind, if he didn't pass the selection, it would be really shameless to see Jiangdong's father.

"Then we'll wait for you at home." Qian Xu nodded with satisfaction, took two steps, and said euphemistically: "Twenty-one Lang, after we go back, there will be only your brothers left in the capital, if you have anything to do, take care of it." ”

"That's a natural thing." Han Rui smiled: "On the contrary, uncle, after I go back, I will be tired again." ”

"This line of work is extremely simple, get used to it, how tired can it be." Qian Xu waved his hand, talked lightly, the morning sun gradually rose, the sun was shining, reflecting on the shore, the fog gradually dispersed, revealing the clear river water, reflecting the willows on the shore, full of green.

It's time to get on the boat, with the support of Han Rui and Qian Feng, Han Hui, Qian Xu and others went up the ladder, and when they reached the deck, a group of boatmen began to get busy, unlocking the anchor, pushing the boat and rowing the oars, very lively, slowly, the merchant ship arrived in the center of the river, the sails were open, and the wind was slow, Han Hui and others waved goodbye at the stern, and gradually disappeared into the sky.

On the shore of the wharf, Han Rui felt a little uncomfortable, his nose was sour, and he was stunned.

"Gone, really gone." Qian Feng muttered, a little depressed, suddenly felt a little cold on his cheeks, raised his head, in his field of vision, a lonely bird swept across the sky like an arrow, croaking and crying, as if looking for a companion, empathy, closed his eyes lightly, cold and crystal tears dripped down, hitting the tender green grass, broken.

After a long time, stretching out his hand on Qian Feng's shoulder, Han Rui said softly: "Third brother, let's go back." ”

Exhaled, Qian Feng covered his sleeves and covered his face, and after a while, he lowered his head, barely showed a smile, and nodded slightly.

Holding Zheng Nao's hand, Han Rui gently patted and signaled, Zheng Nao understood, and led the maid to the incense car, Han Rui and Qian Feng rode on horseback, in a low mood, and had no interest in talking.

Back in Chang'an City, looking at the bustling flow of people, with noisy voices in his ears, Han Rui was a little upset and proposed, "Third brother, go have a drink." ”

"Okay." Thinking of not wanting to, Qian Feng agreed directly.

Drinking, it also depends on the occasion and atmosphere, and after making an appointment with Zheng Nao, the two of them went towards Dongshi, and they were not picky, they found a tavern at random, and asked the guys to bring a few jars of wine and drink in large bowls.

After a few bowls of belly, both of them were a little drunk, but they just begged to get drunk, and they didn't control it, and continued to touch the bowl to drink, however, there were always some people who were not interested and didn't see that they were depressed, so they came up to disturb.

"Korean School Book ......"

Hearing the voice, it seemed to be calling himself, Han Rui looked up, half-squinted his eyes, he was a handsome young man, his appearance seemed familiar, but after a closer look, he was a stranger, he didn't pay much attention to it at the moment, and continued to drink, but he still said: "Today, I just want to get drunk, I have no interest in chatting, if there is anything, let's talk about it later." ”

When it was closer, people who came could also see that Han Rui and Qian Feng were worried, borrowing wine to kill their sorrows, under normal circumstances, they must have retired with interest, but this person pretended not to know, and continued to arch his hand: "In Helan Anshi......"

"Helan? Wrong. Qian Feng was drunk, looked closer, and suddenly scolded: "Bastard liar, I don't recognize Helan." ”

Helan Anshi frowned slightly, and quietly retreated half a step, disgusted in his heart.

Han Rui was still two points awake, vaguely remembered, and asked, "Are you Chu Shi's brother?" ”

"That's right, I often hear Chu Shi mention Han Xiaoshu, and now I can see it...... What an honor. "That's just the case, Helan Anshi said secretly, I really can't understand why His Highness appreciates this person.

Drunk, his intuition seemed to be sharper, and he vaguely noticed that this person was duplicitous, and Han Rui also said casually: "Yes, I didn't see Chu Shi mention you." ”

The blue tendons on his forehead burst out, Helan Anshi was annoyed in his heart, but he remembered the matter, he reluctantly endured it, tried his best to squeeze out a smile, his voice was not emotional, and said: "Han Xiaoshu said that he laughed, if he hadn't mentioned it, how could you know that I am Brother Chu Shi." ”

"Oh, the little brothers of the White Horse Hall told me." Han Rui kindly reminded: "They told you to be careful, don't be alone, otherwise the consequences will be very serious." ”

What do you mean? Helan Anshi's eyes swept over the fox suspicion, and then he figured it out, he was furious, sooner or later he would arrest all those little bastards and put them in prison, it was really unfortunate for the family, father, you have eyes in the sky, look, who are the people Chu Shi has befriended, fox friends and dog friends, scoundrels and skins, and there is no serious good person.

Directly listed Han Rui among them, Helan Anshi swallowed, too lazy to go around in circles anymore, and directly said his meaning: "Han Xiaoshu, under is the Yue Wangfu Fa Cao, today I say that by the order of His Royal Highness, I will bring you a few gifts to wish you the joy of housewarming, I hope you accept it, and don't live up to His Highness's wishes." ”

Without waiting for Han Rui to react, Qian Feng scolded: "Liar, don't get out of here, what are you making noise there." ”

"You...... In vain, you are still a scholar, full of foul language, what is the difference between you and the villagers. Helan Anshi reprimanded coldly, the clay man also has a three-point fire surname, even if the Helan family is in decline, not everyone can be humiliated.

"Referring to Sang scolding Huai, you're talking about me." Han Rui said.

Pouting slightly, Helan Anshi said: "I'm just based on the facts, if Han Xiaoshu wants to misunderstand like this, then I have nothing to do." ”

"Well, you're right, we're the villagers, so what." Han Rui said calmly: "Now that we two farmers are going to drink here, you noble son, can you get out of the way." ”

I really can't figure out how throughout the ages, people who claim to be noble have always been accustomed to ignoring the origin of their ancestors, but in fact, it is not very good.

", don't stay in the eyes." Qian Feng shouted, the smell of wine is up, so he doesn't care about His Royal Highness King Yue.

"You ...... Hmph, don't regret if you don't know how to lift. Helan Anshi's face turned red and white, turned around with his sleeves, rushed away angrily, walked halfway, a place where pedestrians were scarce, his steps were slow, a smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth, and then he disappeared, and said lightly: "Zhou Wei, you saw the situation just now." ”

Zhou Wei came out quietly, smiled humbly, and said respectfully: "If you return to Facao, you can see it very clearly. ”

"Very well, then tell me what happened just now." Helan Anshi asked, playing with the jade pendant in his waist with his hand.

He did it on purpose, Zhou Wei knew in his heart, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of Helan Anshi, so he hesitated for a while.

Helan Anshi smiled, handsome as jade, and his demeanor was peaceful, completely without the arrogance of the children of the family just now, and said openly and honestly: "Zhou Wei, Xiao Ye is gone, your son in the palace is not very good." ”

It's just not sad, Zhou Wei is sad, without Xiao Ye's care, the officials of the palace, and even the servants, don't look at themselves at all, as for Li Tai, the king of Yue, there is no need to count on it, the son of a small country tyrant, he can't do it, he can't do it, he can't do it, he has no value to use it at all, if it weren't for his scruples, expelling Zhou Wei from the palace might be criticized, I'm afraid he would have done it a long time ago.

Now, I should raise an idler, ignore it, and the treatment is similar to that of a slave, this difference between heaven and hell makes Zhou Wei burst into tears, restless sleep, and has the idea of going home, but he is reluctant, and now the opportunity to get it is not easy to get it, at least he can freely enter and leave the palace, in front of outsiders, especially in front of those fellow villagers, majestic and indescribable.

"You're a clever man, too." Helan Anshi smiled and said, "What's the matter, are you interested in following me?" ”

Zhou Wei's eyes lit up, and without thinking, he nodded hurriedly, Gu Yin was ready to enter the court as an official, and in the future, Helan Anshi would be King Yue's number one henchman, and there was such a character to take care of, but it was several times stronger than Xiao Ye.

"Clever." Helan Anshi said: "After returning home, His Royal Highness asked about today's matter, how do you reply?" ”

His eyes flickered, and Zhou Wei said angrily: "Helan Facao was ordered to give Han Rui a gift with good intentions, and he didn't want him to appreciate it, so he actually scolded him, clearly not to ...... His Highness."

"It's over." Helan Anshi shook his head and smiled contemptuously: "Do you think that if you say this, Your Highness will believe it?" If you come directly to confront Han Rui, see how you die. ”

Zhou Wei was stunned and said cautiously: "Then according to Cao's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"As before, Han Rui is very grateful to His Highness for his kindness, but he returned the gift again." Helan Anshi said, sneering slightly, Gu Yin finally left, the palace has more than enough for himself, as for Han Rui, be his school secretary with peace of mind.
