"Needless to say, it's so pathetic." Han Rui smiled: "I don't mean to refuse. ”

Ruyi smiled lightly, as if relieved, and then asked curiously, "Master Han, where are you going?" ”

"Ready to go home." Han Rui said: "Just right, give me a ride." ”

didn't ask too much, Ruyi readily agreed, packed up the carriage, and after Han Rui got on the car, he immediately whipped the horse and drove the horse, the incense car was light and steady, stirring up bursts of light dust.

Through the curtain of the carriage, he looked at the majestic Chang'an City in the sun, Han Rui's eyes were a little more firm, the carriage was leisurely, speeding for several miles, the city wall disappeared in sight, Han Rui then paid attention to the carriage, browsed at will, and found that it was full of exquisite silk and colored satin, as well as other scattered pearls and jade ornaments.

Fingers swept between the gifts, Han Rui was silent for a long time, and naturally had some thoughts in his heart, and soon after, when he arrived at the place, Han Rui got out of the car, beckoned the servants to come out, and moved the things on the car to the hall.

Han Rui said with a flat expression: "Ruyi, go back and report to His Royal Highness the Prince, I have accepted all the gifts, and when he accepts the concubine, I will thank him in person." ”

Ruyi responded, waited for the servants to empty the things on the car, chatted with Han Rui for a few words, and left, waving goodbye, Han Rui walked back to the hall and instructed the servants to count the gifts, list the list, and arrange them by category.

At the right time, Qian Xu heard the news, looked at the gifts in the hall, which were luxurious and exquisite, rare in the market, observed for a while, and hurriedly pulled Han Rui away a few steps, and said softly: "Twenty-one Lang, dragon pattern and phoenix embroidery, I'm afraid I have violated the taboo." ”

"Uncle, rest assured, this is given by the palace, as a levy, usually properly collected, not to show outsiders." Han Rui relieved a few words, and handed over the matter to Qian Xu to deal with, but he returned to the room, closed the door, pushed open the window, and looked at the still green pines and cypresses in the courtyard, feeling extremely comfortable.

As if the clouds and mist were removed, he saw the bright and white moon, the clear moonlight revealed the bottom of his heart, Han Rui was calm and calm for a while, what confusion and dazedness, all became floating clouds, and dispersed with the wind.

In the cabinet, turned out the pen, ink and paper inkstone, Han Rui took clean water, slowly cleaned his hands, wiped dry, then spread out the cheap notepaper, led a few drops of water into the inkstone, and held a piece of ink ingot, grinded it lightly, turned dozens of times, and waited until the ink in the inkstone appeared to be black and lacquered, fragrant and shiny, and then stopped.

Cleaned up, wiped dry his hands again, Han Rui dipped the pen in ink, his left hand closed his sleeve, his right hand hung his wrist, brewed for a moment, the tip of the pen fell on the paper, swayed freely, neatly wrote eight words, drifting with the flow, fueling the flames, it seems to have broken through the bottleneck, the font is decent, but also a little elegant, more restrained and deep.

Realizing that his calligraphy has made great progress, Han Rui is in a good mood, and feels that if he can keep it, in another twenty or thirty years, maybe he can also become a generation of calligraphers.

It seemed that he had no interest in writing, and packed up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Han Rui came to the corner of the room, and saw a few dusty boxes, he didn't feel a little guilty on his face, and blew lightly, the dust was filled, and it could be seen that the boxes had not been touched for a long time.

After taking the towel cloth, Han Rui carefully cleaned the cabinet, wiped off the dust, and cleaned his hands, before solemnly opening the lid of the box, which was neatly stacked with volumes of books, these are the brainchild of Yu Shinan over the years, and gave it to Han Rui for reading, but he didn't expect that his kindness would actually make the pearl secretly cast and the treasure dusty.

After laughing at himself, Han Rui picked up the Book of Filial Piety, came to the front of the case, spread the file on the case, sat down, and read it carefully, which was quite a bit of a review of the old and a new meaning.

After a few days, as if he had washed away the lead, Han Rui resigned from the banquet invitation, closed the door, and concentrated on reading, hearing the news, naturally some people believed it, some people doubted, and the reactions were mixed, or they felt that Han Rui became famous at a young age, but he did not forget to learn, no wonder his talent was so outstanding, or he thought that this was just an excuse for Han Rui to shirk and show his talent and pride.

After all the disturbances, Han Rui turned a deaf ear, but Yu Shinan, who heard the news from Han Hui, was very happy, and sent several boxes of books, and asked someone to send a message, what book does Han Rui want to read, although he opened his mouth, that kind of tone, as if as long as Han Rui opened his mouth, he could get it for him.

This is not an exaggeration, even if the Yu family does not have it, but there is definitely no shortage in the palace, Yu Shinan, as a secretary and supervisor, his original duty is to manage the world's books, what rare books, unique books, unique books, and even originals, can be borrowed, but there is no need.

Concentrate on studying, always make people ignore the passage of time, in a flash, it is the crown prince and concubine, Li Chengqian's wedding banquet, if it weren't for Han Hui's reminder, Han Rui would probably forget about it, put down the book in his hand, changed clothes, and took a few servants to Chang'an City.

Entering the city gate, Han Rui found that between the markets, dressed in red and hung colors, it seemed that they were all holding happy events, all the way, every household, it was like this, thinking for a while, Han Rui also suddenly understood that this is also the tradition of the Celestial Empire, the emperor's red and white things are closely related to the people of the world, or the whole world celebrates, or the whole world mourns, never care, what their actual mood is.

However, now it seems that they are at least a little happy, sitting firmly in the car, Han Rui observed the reaction of the people in the city, busy hanging streamers and flowers on the eaves, with a smile on his face, sincere and simple, not like pretending to be happy, in front of the house and behind the house, some naughty children waved ribbons, frolicking, adding a bit of festive atmosphere.

Han Rui does not think that Li Chengqian will have such prestige, most of it is because of Li Shimin's feelings, the people will have such a performance, after all, in the past few years of his reign, Li Shimin has worked hard, diligent and loving the people, so that the people have spent the first few years of hard work, in recent years, it can be said that the wind and rain are smooth, the five grains are abundant, especially at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is even more peaceful.

The people are simple, but they are not as ignorant as they imagined, they naturally know who brought about these changes, and they naturally hope that they can be maintained for a long time.

Just when Han Rui was speculating about the psychology of the people, the carriage came to Jingfeng Gate and stopped slowly, Han Rui lifted the curtain, but found that there were many incense carts and magnates with gorgeous clothes gathered here, but at this time, they did not talk and greet politely as usual, but were silent and friendly to accept the inspection of the imperial city guards.

On the side of the gate of the Imperial City Palace, there were several ceremonial officials, kneeling and sitting on the desk, the pen in their hands kept copying, recording the names of the magnates to celebrate, as well as the congratulatory gifts sent, tired and painful knees, numb wrists, sweaty faces, but they didn't care about resting and wiping, who knows the hardship.

Let a few servants salute and go, Han Rui held a lacquered gold invitation card in his hand, walked to the palace gate, and let the military guards search him, wearing a simple and loose Confucian robe, he couldn't hide anything at all, confirmed that the invitation was fine, and the military guards were also happy to relax, waving his hand to let Han Rui pass, and naturally a palace maid greeted him and led him.

The imperial city is extremely wide and wide, the last time I came, I entered from the Yanxi Gate, which happened to lead directly to the East Palace, Han Rui just watched one of the corners, and now I came in from the Jingfeng Gate, but what I saw was the official offices of the various departments of the imperial court, blue bricks and tiles, cornices and arches, rows and buildings, all the same buildings, similar to the vegetable fields in the field, neat and distinct, and the momentum was extraordinary.

At this time, among the official offices, there were occasionally a few small officials left behind, raising their eyes to look at the magnates led in by the palace maids, their eyes were full of envy, and the rest of the officials and deputies had already arrived at Chengtianmen in advance, ready to participate in the banquet.

The speed is not slow, after several rounds, the eyes suddenly opened, there was an open place, the corridor was spacious, can accommodate fifty fast horses galloping side by side, smooth and flat masonry paved ground, towering and thick city gates, full of nails, revealing a sparkling cold light, awe-inspiring atmosphere is undoubtedly displayed.

Next to the city gate is the fence white column, on the white marble, carved with each auspicious cloud and rui beast, the form is realistic, lifelike, a group of people wearing vermilion purple chapter clothes, wearing a crown of the power of the ministers and nobles, gathered in it, three or five into a group, talking and laughing, under it, it is a slightly inferior status of the dignitaries, although the two are only a few steps apart, they dare not cross, fully show the high-ranking officials and nobles, up and down are different, the hierarchy is clear.

On the other side, it is the ladies and girls who are wearing the hairpin dresses, the dress is very exquisite, the style is very different, all kinds of beautiful colors are bright and dazzling, coupled with the gold and silver filigree embroidery inlay, it is more dazzling, the pattern of the clothes decoration, the birds and beasts are in pairs, the flowers are clustered, the auspicious light is shining, full of fun, it can really be described as an atmosphere elegant, gorgeous and gorgeous.

Similar to the officials and magnates, but somewhat different, the places where the nobles gathered, although there were also high and low, but not obvious, but according to the relationship of kinship, or the beauty and ugliness of the appearance, or the mood is good or bad...... Women are more affectionate about their surnames, who can guess their thoughts, anyway, it is also a big circle, a small circle, scattered everywhere.

Walking, seeing this scene, Han Rui was dazzled for a while, he couldn't find anyone he knew, he was quite hesitant, at this time, there was a crisp laughter like a silver bell not far away, which attracted everyone's attention, Han Rui followed the prestige, and saw a group of girls with flowers and branches, Zheng Nao was like a blooming snow lotus, with an elegant appearance, if there was a faint brilliance, it was eye-catching.

Han Rui did not hesitate, he walked over calmly, pushed by a few girlfriends, Zheng Naoyuo's expression seemed to be a little happy, and a little shy, slender steps, greeted him, in front of everyone's eyes, the two approached, invariably, looked at each other carefully, and smiled lightly.

"It hasn't changed, it's still so stylish." Han Rui said with a smile, completely treating the gaze projected by everyone as a floating cloud in the sky, although it was saved, there was no need to pay attention to it.

Zheng Naoyue was the same, his beautiful eyes were moist, and he said softly: "You have changed." ”
