Li Tai, the king of Yue, is known as a virtuous name, elegant and good, has a good reputation among Confucian scholars, and is deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, whether it is Yili, or the feeling of liking and dislike in his heart, there is no reason to refuse not to see, so Yu Shinan and a few old men looked at each other slightly, and immediately nodded, please...... After a while, he saw Li Tai moving forward, with deep clothes and wide sleeves, dressed in Confucian clothes, and elegant manners, which made it easier to win the favor of literati, stopped in front of the banquet, bowed and said: "Xiao Wang has seen several gentlemen. ”

Polite, not because of the noble status and no one in the eyes, it really makes people feel comfortable, everyone stood up during the banquet, Yu Shinan smiled, and said indifferently: "King Yue is more polite." ”

It's not strange that there are many people, Li Tai seems to understand this truth, he is very polite, but the guy who is waiting next to him reacts not badly, and hurriedly moves the case to increase the number of seats and buy cups.

According to Li Tai's status and status, it is a matter of course to sit in the chief, but he gently shirked it, boasting that he was not as respected as Yu Shinan and a few old men, so he naturally wanted to be at the bottom and sit opposite Han Rui.

Yu Shinan's surname is meticulous, easy and quiet, and his demeanor is calm, but several old men show appreciation, feeling that Li Tai is worthy of the reputation of a virtuous man.

Kneeling and sitting safely, Li Tai was not restrained, and he did not express any doubts about Qiao Yan's appearance here, he stretched out his hand to raise a glass and saluted everyone.

After talking and laughing with a few old men for a while, Li Tai raised his glass, faced Han Rui, and said in a sincere tone: "Some time ago, Brother Han got married, and Xiao Wang happened to be in the palace to listen to his father's teachings, and did not go to congratulate him, not only was it rude, but Xiao Wang was also very sorry in his heart, and I apologize here, I hope Brother Han will not blame." ”

"How dare you." Han Rui said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yue didn't come, but his heart has arrived, I often think, if it is a wedding banquet, everyone is like this, what a good thing it should be." ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and immediately came to their senses, knowing that Han Rui was joking, and there was an uproar.

After sitting for a while, Li Tai also knew and was interested, and politely refused to be retained by everyone, and left, such a demeanor was praised by several old men, taking this opportunity, Qian Feng asked quietly: "This is Dexian Building?" ”

"I didn't pay attention to the name of the restaurant, but King Yue is here, so it should be." Blinking his eyes, Han Rui said, "Why, I'm still angry about what happened just now." ”

"I'm not as open-minded as you, as you often say, fat people are cautious." Qian Feng didn't have a good breath, and snorted and said, "Don't let me find a chance, otherwise I have to clean them up." ”

"Hey, be careful or something, I didn't say it, you were just wrong." Han Rui hurriedly defended, maybe the world is peaceful, and he said that he is living comfortably and steadily, and in the capital, there are mostly powerful people with round waists, or let them know this, they have to clean themselves up.

Hmph, Qian Feng scoffed, ignored Han Rui, and raised his glass to drink.

Li Tai left, a little less restrained, everyone chatted more happily, and several young people also knew that the opportunity was rare, so they seized the time to behave, poems and songs, glanced at Han Rui, and immediately canceled this plan, lest people laugh at themselves, but the pearl of rice grains competed with Haoyue, and they were not overwhelmed.

Although before Yu Shinan and others, there was also a suspicion of playing a big knife in front of the public, but at least you can ask for advice justifiably, and by the way, enhance your knowledge, if you can get their appreciation, then it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so when you hear a few young people talking, Qian Feng can't take care of getting angry and actively participates in it.

The thoughts of these young people, how could Yu Shinan and a few old men not know, smiled lightly, and did not pay attention to it, let alone open their mouths to stop it, but leisurely raised a glass and drank a little, but Qiao Yan was quite interested, interjecting from time to time, or asking, or approving, which naturally made several young people happy, as if they had taken stimulants, you argue with me, without humility.

Now is not the time to be modest, the relationship with the future, humility can not be compromised, but there are a few old men around, although the words are a little fierce, but there is not much smell of gunpowder, Han Rui listened carefully, and also benefited a little, as if he noticed Han Rui's reaction, Yu Shinan was thoughtful, but did not say anything.

The debate continued until the banquet was dismissed, and there was no distinction between high and low, but the goal had been achieved, and everyone did not care about the victory or defeat, but had a feeling of sympathy for each other.

When he came to the corridor, he was greeted by a group of young people, led by Li Tai, the king of Yue, who seemed to be also disrupting and preparing to leave, when he saw Yu Shinan and others, Li Tai turned sideways and said: "Everyone, take it easy, Xiao Wang went to send off a few elders." Then he smiled like a spring breeze and greeted him.

"Ah, it's the secretary and the supervisor Yu Gong."

"By the way, there are several great Confucian ...... in the capital"

"No, Qiao Langzhong is also there."

There were more than 50 young people in that group, crowded in the corridor, but they did not leave, but retreated the space, letting Yu Shinan and others pass by, whispering from time to time, with a look of envy, the object of envy was naturally a few young people next to Qiao Yan.

"Hey, no, why is Han Rui there."

"Well, it's really true, does he want to participate in the imperial examination?"

"If he attends, then there will probably be nothing to do with us."

Some young people whispered, but they didn't pay attention, next to them, a few people gathered near Xiao Ye and Zhou Wei, their faces were a little unnatural, and regret slowly grew.

But seeing the front of the restaurant, he said hello to a few old men, Yu Shinan pulled Han Rui away a few steps, and said solemnly: "Han Rui, after you get married, don't slack off on your studies." ”

"Don't worry, Gong Yu is just an accident today, and he will come out to socialize as a last resort, and most of them will not be in the future, after I go back, I will continue to concentrate on studying." Han Rui said.

"That's not necessary, behind closed doors, although there is a harvest, but when the knowledge reaches a certain level, it will stagnate, and even close your eyes and listen, you should communicate more with your colleagues and confidants to broaden your knowledge." Yu Shinan said in a deep voice: "Later, there will be a debate meeting, and most of the participants are great Confucian sages, so you can also come and listen." ”

Han Rui naturally agreed, and after careful questioning, although Yu Shinan did not say much, he only vaguely said that there were not only scholars from the imperial court who attended the debate, but also famous scholars from all over the world.

"The time and place are undecided, so you don't want to spread the word." Yu Shinan admonished, with the support of Han Rui, got into the carriage, and left with the gift of others.

Seeing that Yu Shinan was gone, several old men also followed the car back, and Qiao Yan also got into the carriage at the right time, politely thanked Li Tai for his send-off, and finally gave his hand and said goodbye to everyone one by one, when it was Han Rui's turn, he invited with a smile: "When Han Gongzi is free, you might as well go to the cold house to talk about it." ”

"Nature." Han Rui responded with a smile.

Huanxiao left a sentence to greet him, and Qiao Yan also left, but it can also be seen that he sincerely invited Han Rui to visit, not a kind word, this kind of treatment is not only enviable, but outrageous.

"Brother Han can't be so favoritistic, I don't know when Brother Han will be free, and he will also go to the Little King's Mansion for a small gathering." Li Tai smiled and sent out an invitation.

"Newlywed Yan'er, for a while, I'm afraid that there is no leisure time, presumably His Royal Highness can also understand and understand." Han Rui chuckled and said, "For example, now, it's time to say goodbye to His Highness, otherwise if you go home a little late, Madam will be to blame again." ”

Li Tai was stunned, laughed, said goodbye to Han Rui, and the moment he turned around, he seemed to be a little unhappy, but it disappeared in an instant, with a smile on his face, and walked towards the group of young people who were talking.

Xiao Ye hurriedly greeted him and whispered: "Your Highness, since that kid doesn't know how to lift, why treat him so politely, in my opinion, it's better to be ......"

"Shut up, are you teaching this king to do things?" Li Tai scolded, but his smile did not change.

Xiao Ye's heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Don't dare to go down." ”

Snorted lightly, Li Tai's demeanor was calm, and everyone didn't notice the clues, and they all gathered around, and they were talking about whether Han Rui was ready to participate in the imperial examination.

"Hehe, everyone, relieved, with Brother Han's reputation for talent and learning, the imperial court can be directly recruited, and Xiao Wang can also be promoted, why do you want to participate in the imperial examination...... intentionally or unintentionally, Li Tai's voice was a little louder, and it happened to reach the front yard, Han Rui's ears.

Han Rui smiled, as if he didn't hear it, pulled Qian Feng, who was triumphant and sneering on his face, and didn't wait for the carriage, and walked directly towards the gate of the restaurant.

At the edge of the corridor, seeing Qian Feng's sarcastic smile, the apprentice from Yangzhou, his face was red and white, and he regretted that his intestines were even blue, what could he do when he met King Yue, there were dozens of people here, how could he remember himself, if he hadn't left just now, maybe he would have been able to meet the secretary and supervisor Yu Shinan, by the way, and Qiao Yan in the examination of the merit...... The most regrettable thing in the world is not that they missed the opportunity, but that the opportunity is right in front of them, and they have obviously caught it, but they let themselves go, that kind of taste, like a stinging pain in the heart, has not dissipated for a long time, when Han Rui's figure disappeared in front of the door, out of sight and out of mind, they felt better, but the thing that added fuel to the fire happened again, making them suffer for a while.

I saw Li Tai coming over, and said with a friendly smile: "I almost forgot, you are talented people in Yangzhou, and you are fellow villagers with Brother Han, you must have a friendship, and you will ...... in the future."

What happened in the future, they didn't hear it clearly, but they knew that Li Tai would treat them so politely just because of Han Rui's face, and if he let him know, he would offend Han Rui, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just when these people were enjoying the torment of ice and fire, Han Rui had already gotten into the carriage and sent Qian Feng back to Guozijian, but on the way home, he found an acquaintance.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Rui asked the servant to slow down the carriage, remove the curtain, and said with a warm smile: "Qingyun Daoist, if you are not in the Laojun Palace, where are you going?" ”
