Creation of the whole people: the beginning creates chaos

Chapter 671
Under the attention of everyone, a group of hundreds of people left Luoyang City in a mighty way, and rushed to the Nanshan Posthouse.

The Nanshan post house is the residence of the Taiwei, covering a large area, with carved railings and jade bricks, pavilions, rockery and flowing water, gardens and lakes, everything you expect to find, very beautiful.

After two or three days of traveling, Han Rui and others arrived at the post house.

At this time, in the posthouse, in the wing room where Han Rui lived, Han Rui sat cross-legged, with his eyes closed, breathing evenly, and remained motionless.

After a while, Han Rui slowly opened his eyes, let out a mouthful of turbid air, stretched his muscles and bones, stood up, looked at the scenery outside the window, couldn't help being amazed, and felt happy.

"My lord, the environment here is good." The attendant next to him reminded softly.

Han Rui nodded and said appreciatively, "It's really good. I've decided to settle here from now on."

"Uh, but..." The attendant was speechless, not understanding why Han Rui suddenly changed his decision.

Han Rui understood: "In the future, I will be a diligent and conscientious student."

Hearing his nonsense, the corner of the attendant's mouth twitched, unable to refute.

Han Rui walked out, walked around the screen, and saw that the spacious and luxurious hall was full of guests.

On the rostrum in the center of the crowd, Han Rui's grandfather Han Shouren sat on it, wearing a python robe, with a high spirit and a menacing aura, a majesty rushed towards his face, Han Rui's heart trembled, he hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and quietly observed the hall everyone within.

In addition to Han Shouren, there were more than a dozen people present, representing relatives of the Han family, Han Yu, Han Dewei, Han Dejian, Han Chengye and others.

Among them, Han Rui also saw two familiar faces, which were Han Shouxin and Li Fu, the housekeeper.

Han Rui murmured in his heart, why did these two old things come here again? Could it be that they came to make things difficult for him.

Han Rui's unusual behavior, of course, could not be hidden from others, including Han Shouren, who also noticed it, and couldn't help frowning: "Erlang, are you feeling unwell?"

"Go back to grandfather, it's okay." Han Rui responded, walked over, and bowed his hands to Han Yu and others.

Han Yu smiled and nodded, and the others also returned the salute. Han Rui took the opportunity to sit next to Han Rui's uncle and aunt, and his cousin Wang Yaoxin sat next to him.

Han Rui glanced over and felt a little dizzy, because all the female relatives here are beautiful, charming, gentle and virtuous, all of them are well-dressed, gorgeously made-up, charming and charming, simply put, It's just a bunch of Yingying and Yanyan, with many beautiful women.

Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that these beauties are maids and servants, but Han Rui doesn't care too much, after all, they are Han Shouren's concubine, not his official wife, no matter how beautiful they are, it's not his turn, and he has no intention of marrying them .

"Erlang, what are you looking at?" A woman asked with a gentle smile.

Han Rui came back to his senses, and said with a sneer, "No, just now when I was looking at you, I suddenly had hallucinations and almost fell down. Fortunately, I managed to stabilize myself in time, so I didn't lose face."

Everyone smiled, Han Yu laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, you are talking nonsense, you are thinking about who you are going to sleep with tonight."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Han Rui said shyly, secretly looking at his cousin Wang Yaoxin.

Wang Yaoxin's pretty face was flushed, and she said angrily: "Han Rui, don't talk nonsense, be careful, mother knows, I will beat you to death."

"What are you afraid of?" Han Rui said with a chuckle, "Anyway, sooner or later you will marry me."

"You..." Wang Yaoxin stomped shyly.

The others laughed. Wang Yaoxin is Han Rui's eldest daughter. According to the rules, she must be betrothed to Han Rui, but Wang Yaoxin disagreed, so the marriage was delayed. At least Han Rui's intention now is not to regret the marriage, and the two children I'm still young, so I can't rush.

Han Rui was just talking, and naturally he would not marry Wang Yaoxin back home. After all, this society emphasizes the right family. Although Wang Yaoxin came from a wealthy family, she was far away from him, so it might be difficult for her to become his wife.

Of course, this was Han Rui's idea. The whole Han family probably thought that the two of them were a perfect match, and there was no need to think about whether Han Rui was competent, as long as Han Rui was willing.

No matter what plans Han Rui had in mind, he was an orphan now, with nothing to worry about, so naturally he would not object.

"Come, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." A middle-aged man held a teapot and poured it slowly.

Han Rui quickly waved his hands, and declined, "Uncle, thank you, no need, I'm full."

"You are my younger brother, so why be polite." The middle-aged man said calmly.

Han Rui hesitated for a moment, took the porcelain cup, took a sip, sipped it carefully, put down the teacup, and looked up. He was a handsome young man about seven feet tall, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose bridge, and bronze skin. The sharp-edged face reveals a resolute and decisive breath.

This person is Han Rui's uncle, Han Shoulian, who used to be a military officer in the imperial court. Later, he lost his relatives in the war and lived on the streets. He was taken in by the Han family. From then on, he stayed in the Han family and worked for the Han family.

With Han Shoulian's support, Han Rui stood up, bowed and said, "I've seen uncle!"

Han Shoulian nodded slightly, pulled Han Rui to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "Erlang, you're finally here."

Han Rui was stunned and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Of course." Han Shoulian said solemnly: "Today is the day to worship ancestors. Don't forget that the Chinese New Year will be a few months away. This time, I specially ask you to come back to pay respects to ancestors. By the way, we will discuss. Your wedding date."

During this period of time, I was busy with the imperial examinations and caught up with the winter season. Naturally, it was inconvenient to hold banquets and the like. To get married, of course you have to go back to the capital.

Han Rui pondered for a while, and asked, "Uncle, what day do you think is suitable?"

"Choose an auspicious day, choose the nearest auspicious day of the zodiac." Han Shoulian pondered for a moment, and suggested, "It's best to be the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. It's a festive day. It's a pity that there is no heavy snow this year to block the road, otherwise it would be even better."

Han Rui shook his head and said, "On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Lantern Festival will be over. The time is too short."

"Then the 26th of the twelfth lunar month." Han Shoulian said, "It's enough preparation."

Han Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, I mean, the sooner the better, the sooner the better."

Han Shoulian was stunned for a moment, and Fox asked, "Why, is there something wrong?"

"No, absolutely not." Han Rui denied it categorically, but sighed secretly, thinking, if I tell you that I have already found a wife, I don't know how you would feel about it, but now is not the time to be honest.

Han Shoulian stared deeply at Han Rui for a moment, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then follow what Erlang said."

Afterwards, Han Shoulian ordered his servants to inform his family members, and asked them to move all kinds of supplies into the main hall, enshrine the tablets of the ancestors, and prepare for the sacrifice.

Not long after, all members of the Han family arrived in the hall one after another. Han Rui and his cousins ​​gathered together to listen to Han Shoulian's lecture.

In the main hall, incense was lingering, everyone bowed respectfully, kowtowed three times, the ceremony was cumbersome and complicated, and it took half a stick of incense before everyone stopped. Afterwards, Han Rui followed his father and brother back to the side hall, sat on a chair, and listened to his uncle. We talk.

The Han family is a prominent family in Huizhou. The genealogy has been passed down for more than a hundred years. The patriarchs of all dynasties are all first-rank officials in the official residence. .

Of course, this kind of influence refers to the official career.

Although it is said that the Han family is a well-known scholarly family in Huizhou, the position of patriarch is vacant, and no one has ever dared to raise objections. After all, the Han family is a scholarly family, and there is no strong background support in the court, so there is no need for a mere patriarch. There is endless competition for the position.

Now, with Han Shoulian's return and the reshuffle of the Han family, it naturally attracted the attention of all parties. Han Rui didn't believe it, and no one wanted to replace him.

However, Han Rui wasn't worried either, because in his opinion, Han Shoulian was a very rational and decision-making person, and he would never make foolish decisions, and he also had the ability to protect himself.

Sure enough, Han Rui's guess was correct. After paying homage to his ancestors, Han Shoulian immediately announced that he would be handed over to the big house for the time being. However, he had already agreed with Han Rui that after the Chinese New Year, when the ethnology was properly repaired, he would retreat behind the scenes and concentrate on his work. , responsible for teaching Han Rui.

"Brother, don't be so biased." Han Shouyi, who was in charge of finances in the big house, jumped up and shouted.

"If you are not convinced, you can find another way out." Han Shoulian snorted, "I don't bother to talk to you anymore."

Han Shouyi's face turned dark and he didn't dare to talk back.

Seeing this, the others comforted him and asked him to be patient, and he will be fine in the future. After all, Han Rui is still young and ignorant. When he becomes sensible, Han Shouyi will still be the eldest brother and still have the rights.

"Oh." Han Rui felt at ease, and muttered in his heart, I hope so.

Those present were all core members of the Han family, or Han Rui's brothers and sisters. Han Rui did his part and had the upper hand. Naturally, no one questioned anything.

Under the care of everyone, Han Rui was in a good mood, leisurely admiring the flowers and trees in the courtyard.

These flowers, plants and trees are also the private property of the Han family. Usually, there are special craftsmen to take care of and maintain them. Now that Han Rui is back, someone will come to report.

Han Rui watched carefully, and suddenly felt that there were many newly planted flowers in the garden, which were delicate in color and fragrant, refreshing.

"Erlang, this is a newly transplanted flower. It was not maintained at the beginning, but now that it has been properly maintained, it will be moved into the garden." Next to Han Rui, someone explained in a low voice: "This is the gardener of Han Zhai. Seeing that he is young and proficient in gardening techniques, he is highly appreciated by the master, and he is rewarded with many things every year."

"Uncle Yang, you've worked hard." Han Rui smiled and said, "I haven't seen you before."

"The slave used to be in Yangzhou Mansion. The master was transferred last year, so I came with me to help the master take care of the garden and flower garden." Uncle Yang said with a bright smile: "This is the master's grace. The master thinks about the loyalty of the slave, regardless of the humble origin of the slave." , let the slaves serve the young master, and if there is any errand in the future, just order it directly, and I will go through fire and water, and I will die."

"With Uncle Yang here, I feel more at ease." Han Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang used to be in Yangzhou Mansion, but he was a well-known gardener with superb gardening skills. Now with your help, I couldn't be more relaxed."

"Young Master Xie, for your compliment." Uncle Yang said modestly, secretly delighted in his heart, he has such a good tongue, and he will be appreciated by just a few words of flattery.

Uncle Yang was in a happy mood, but Han Rui suddenly changed the subject and said, "Uncle Yang, have you picked all the flowers here and put them in pots? Do you want to move them outside the yard?"

"Of course, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of such rare exotic flowers and plants." Uncle Yang affirmed, "Young master, don't worry, I promise not to hurt them at all. Not only that, but also wrapped in gold foil to prevent moisture and corrosion..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Han Rui waved his hand: "Go to work quickly, clean it up, and send it to my study. Also, I will move back tomorrow morning."

"Uh." Uncle Yang was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "This... I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

"What's the inconvenience?" Han Rui frowned.

"This..." Uncle Yang hesitated: "You should have seen it too. There are guests in the house. If you move in suddenly, it is really against the rules."

"Rules, what nonsense rules." Han Rui said coldly, "If you're afraid of offending others, then I'll move out."

Uncle Yang hurriedly said: "Master misunderstood, it's just..."

"Don't say too much, I've made up my mind, and I don't need to change my mind." Han Rui had a straight face, and his uncompromising tone was intimidating.

Han Rui is the only bloodline of the grandson of Han's parents, and Han Rui insisted on it, who would dare to refute it.

As a result, several members of the Han family, together with some stewards, servants, helpers, etc., took action one after another to move the flowers, move them away from the Han family's mansion, and load them into trucks to transport them away.

Han Rui stood on the steps and watched, looking at the busy figure, and sighed softly: "Father, mother, the child has grown up and can finally stand alone, and I will rely on you from now on."

Han Rui said these words silently in his heart. Although Han Rui also hoped that his parents would live a long life and enjoy their old age, Han Rui knew that it was an extravagant hope. The medical conditions in ancient times were difficult, especially the pain, which was even more tormenting.

Han Rui knew very well in his heart that there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. No matter how filial Han Rui is, he still has to consider his parents' feelings and is unwilling to leave regrets. Therefore, he can only minimize the occurrence of tragedies.

Han Rui believed that his parents would be proud of him if he knew his hard work.

That night, after the banquet was over, Han Rui returned to his courtyard, washed up, and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

When he was in a daze, he heard the creaking of the window lattice. Han Rui opened his eyes, reached out and groped, found the dagger beside the pillow, turned over and sat up, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

A moment later, a beautiful figure flashed in, and she lifted the curtain and walked in. The moonlight shone on her fair and soft cheeks, delicate and elegant, with firm skin, and her eyes were rolling, revealing a gentle and peaceful atmosphere.

"Why are you here?" Han Rui asked in surprise.

Yang Yan smiled lightly, and asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with me coming to visit my husband?"
