Chapter 673
"You forget how long we have been guarding outside the door." Yang Ming sighed softly, with an inexplicable sadness, and said in a heavy tone: "Just waiting for the elder sister to come back."

Han Rui suddenly realized, full of guilt in his heart, hurried out of the wing room, and as expected, he saw Yang Shi and Zhao Qian at the door, followed by several women, who were about fifty years old, or about forty years old, and there were a few eyes on their brows. The demeanor shows their extraordinary origins.

These women are naturally relatives of Yang Yan's mother's family. When they saw Han Rui coming out of the wing room, they immediately gathered around to greet him with concern, with a warm attitude and very intimate.

"Han Langjun is awake." Mrs. Yang greeted, "You are feeling better."

Han Rui bowed slightly, and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie."

Everyone smiled and greeted with concern.

Yang said with a smile: "This child is sweet-mouthed."

Han Rui rubbed his nose, feeling a little depressed. No wonder women in ancient times, when they married into their in-laws, respected their parents-in-law like granddaughters-in-law. There were precedents. No wonder there was a saying in history, only a virtuous wife was blessed.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Yang suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Xiang, I heard from Yan'er that you were attacked by assassins at the inn last night."

Han Rui suddenly felt awe-inspiring, and frowned, "When did it happen?"

"It was just yesterday morning." Mrs. Yang said: "I heard that the assassin was vicious and skilled in martial arts. If he missed a single hit, he immediately ran away. I just got the news, so I hurried over here. I didn't expect to meet you here. .”

Han Rui was silent, and after a while, he slowly shook his head and sighed softly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Mrs. Yang was surprised, and immediately said in awe: "Han Langjun, why do you say that?"

Han Rui didn't hide anything. He detailed what happened yesterday, and finally concluded: "I think this matter is very unusual. With the skills of those killers, how could they retreat so easily."

"Han Langjun, what do you mean, the assassin is after you." Madam Yang said in surprise.

"Besides this, I can't think of any other reasonable reasons." Han Rui said in a deep voice, "Not only me, but General Huangfu, Wangfei and others have all been attacked."

Mrs. Yang was startled, and said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

"Don't worry, since we know that there are assassins sneaking into the city to commit murder, we have a chance to catch them." Han Rui comforted: "You send someone to send a letter to your father, asking him to mobilize officers and soldiers, seal the city, search for the culprits, and then report to Beijing. Zhaoyin Mansion Yamen, please cooperate with the vigilance..."

"Yes, report to the police." Mrs. Yang woke up with a start, ordered repeatedly, and pulled Han Rui again, anxiously saying: "Han Langjun, hurry up and help, catch that villain..."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Han Rui nodded lightly, and comforted him: "Auntie, go back and rest first, and wait for my news."

Mrs. Yang was very grateful, thanked her repeatedly, and left with her nephews. Before leaving, she asked: "Mr. Han, be careful and protect yourself."

Han Rui smiled without saying a word, and returned to the room when they were far away. Yang Yan had already returned to her normal state, her complexion was as red as fire, she looked shy and charming.

"It's so beautiful." Han Rui admired, and couldn't help reaching out, wanting to pinch her smooth and tender cheeks.

"Don't bully me." Yang Yan scolded and dodged.

"Then give me a kiss." Han Rui cheated.

"Rogue." Yang Yan rolled her eyes, stomped her feet lightly, and ran away.

Looking at her slender and slender figure, Han Rui secretly praised her as worthy of being a scholar, with elegant and dignified manners.

Han Rui knew in his heart that although the Yang family was a family of merchants, they were born as scholars after all. The education was rigorous and the rules were strict. The female family members were not allowed to show their faces casually. Yang Yan also made an exception to attend the banquet because she was married to Han Rui.

After the female family members of the Yang family left, Han Rui was restless, thought for a moment, and decided to go to Li Xiyin to find out what she said, and planned to discuss with her the specific matters of getting married.

Of course, this is a private matter, and Han Rui would not rush to visit her. It's not that he is hypocritical. The main reason is that getting married requires some things, such as dowry money and dowry items.

……

Prehistoric, Heavenly Court.

Haotian Palace, Yaochi, Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun and other immortals gathered together and were discussing government affairs.

"Your Majesty, during this period of time, I have inspected all departments and found that the officials have become more chaotic, and corruption is rampant..." The Old Master Taishang pondered and said: "This year, there has been a severe drought in the Three Realms, and the plague of locusts has caused hundreds of millions of deaths and injuries. Officials are all corrupt and amassing wealth, disregarding human life, and disregarding the people's livelihood, which is really a great misfortune for the people of the world."

Haotian frowned and said, "Your words are convincing, do you have evidence?"

"Yes..." Taishang Laojun coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Someone impeached Shangshu Wang Gui of the Ministry of Punishment, Wei Zheng and others..."

Haotian heard the sound, his expression was stunned, and he didn't understand why.

Taishang Laojun smiled and said: "You might as well ask the censor of Yushitai to investigate thoroughly, and the truth will definitely be found out."

In this era, the imperial examination system was first established, and the evaluation system for selecting officials was taking shape.

As an emperor, we must put an end to such bad habits, otherwise, the world will be full of smog and people's hearts will be scattered.

"Okay." Haotian nodded and said, "Aiqing, let's go to work."

Taishang Laojun nodded happily and retreated.

Master Taiyi said softly: "Your Majesty, what Laojun wrote in the memorial should be true."

"This is a major matter for the court, how can I wrong anyone." Haotian said calmly, disapproving.

Guang Chengzi next to him said worriedly: "Your Majesty, what the old gentleman said involves a lot. I'm afraid Wang Gui and others will be blamed. Your Majesty must handle it with caution."

"There is no proof, no false talk." Haotian waved his hand and said: "Besides, this matter has not yet come to light, so don't judge lightly. When it is confirmed, I will make a decision on punishment."

Everyone nodded slightly, deeply convinced. After all, there is no evidence to prove the guilt of Wang Gui and others. If they are punished rashly, they may cause an uproar and affect the stability and unity of the court. The gain outweighs the gain.

Han Rui also understands this, but he can't control so much. Anyway, he has tried his best. If Wang Gui and others are fine, if they really violate the law and suffer from prison, then it's none of his business Well, who told you to be unlucky.

Of course, if the family was ransacked and the family was wiped out, Han Rui would be happy to see it, but Wang Gui and Wei Zheng probably hated him to death...

Han Rui laughed at himself, diverted his attention, looked at Yang Yan, and asked, "Miss Yang, did you take the wrong medicine just now?"

"What nonsense?" Yang Yan glared, and said in a low voice, "I just don't like other people touching me."

Han Rui blinked and said, "I just want to touch you..."

Yang Yan's pretty face was flushed, she snorted softly, turned her head away, pretending to be stupid.

Han Rui laughed, and without teasing her, he changed the subject and said, "Miss Yang, tomorrow is my elder brother's wedding day. When the time comes, remember to come here early, so don't delay."

"Well, I will remember." Yang Yan said obediently, as docile as a kitten.

The next day, the Yang family gathered together, and the wedding of the Yang brothers and sisters was officially finalized, and it will be held tomorrow night.

According to the tradition, when the groom marries the bride, he must enter the door at dusk, worship the ancestral temple in the main hall, and then worship the high hall, drink tea, offer cakes, kowtow, and finally the husband and wife enter the bridal chamber hand in hand.

Well, the newlyweds, the two of them are inevitably lingering, regardless of day and night, until the dead of night, the moon is bright and the stars are thin, the groom Yang Juncai reluctantly falls asleep with his wife in his arms. When he wakes up the next day, it is almost Maoshi (seven o'clock in the morning), and the two hurriedly wash up After finishing, put on clothes and make up properly, then rushed to the hall of Yang Mansion.

Yang Juncai's mother also waited in the hall for a long time. When she saw the couple coming in, she smiled happily and greeted warmly: "Sit down and eat quickly. Only when you are full will you have energy for the wedding ceremony."

"Mother!" Yang Yan shyly glanced at her husband.

"I'm an old husband and wife, why are you still shy." Yang's mother said with a smile: "Jun'er, hurry up and eat, I have to go to the restaurant later, bring my daughter-in-law back soon..."

Yang Juncai smiled awkwardly, sat down at the table with his wife, and began to eat.

Yang's mother was sitting at the main seat, and Yang Junjie and Yang Yan's mothers were on the left and right. The three were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Only the absence of Yang Junjie's parents made Yang Yan's eyes full of tears, and her face was forced to laugh.

Han Rui also felt that it was necessary to remind Yang Junjie to take the time to go home and visit his relatives.

However, Yang Junjie misunderstood Han Rui's intentions, and said bitterly: "Brother, my parents died of illness, leaving orphans and widows. I am really worried, so I won't go back..."

It turned out to be like this, Han Rui suddenly realized, and immediately comforted him.

After chatting for a few words, Yang Yan suddenly interjected, "Brother Han, I heard from my sister yesterday that you have a friend from your hometown named Han Li. Is he coming to the wedding today?"

"He's not coming." Yang Juncai shook his head, and said with a little regret: "I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce him to Yan'er, but I didn't expect that he didn't come, what a pity."

Han Rui nodded and said, "It's better not to come."

"Why?" Yang Yan asked strangely.

"Because I didn't invite him either." Han Rui said frankly.

"Oh, I see." Yang Yan was stunned, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Han hates him, so he doesn't want to take him to participate."

Uh, Han Rui was surprised, and couldn't help but wait and see carefully, only to find that Yang Yan had a strange look on her face, which seemed to be a bit malicious.

In an instant, Han Rui realized that this was sowing discord, killing people with a knife, as expected of Yang Yan, who was ruthless and vicious.

Yang Yan smiled softly and charmingly, and said delicately: "Brother Han, I'm just talking casually, you don't have to take it seriously."

"It's okay." Han Rui waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since you want to know, I'll tell you. Not only do I hate him, but our family members, including uncles and aunts, also hate him."

"Why?" Yang Yan asked.

"Because..." Han Rui hesitated: "This matter is a bit complicated, so I can't disclose it. You just need to know that Han Li is not a good person. All in all, you have to be careful."

"I understand." Yang Yan nodded with a smile, and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Han."

"You're welcome, we're all from the same village, we help each other." Han Rui smiled and said, "By the way, where are you going, I'll take you there."

"Do you have a horse?" Yang Yan blinked and said, "If not, let's ride a horse."

"Okay." Han Rui readily agreed, and ordered his attendants to prepare horses, then pulled Yang Yan out of the courtyard and drove away.

During the journey, Han Rui asked: "By the way, I heard that a while ago, the elders booked you a marriage?"

Yang Yan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "It's not counted as an engagement...it's the meaning of the elders in the family."

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." Han Rui understood that Yang Yan's family was poor and had no money to hire the woman's parents to come and talk about marriage, but the elders of the Yang family were worried that their marriage would be delayed as they got older, so they simply Find someone home and get things settled first.

Yang Yan nodded in approval, and said in a low voice, "Brother Han, I want to discuss something with you."

"Let's talk, as long as it's reasonable, I'll definitely support it," Han Rui said.

Yang Yan pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Our Yang family is in Yangzhou City, just a small remote place. Although there is a Yang family, it has a weak foundation among scholars and has no reputation."

Han Rui expressed his understanding that throughout the ages, the emphasis was on the marriage of interests, or the right marriage, if the Yang family did not have the qualifications to cling to the rich and powerful, then naturally they had to find another good son-in-law.

"The Yang family's family style is strict, and the men are thin, unlike the sons of other families, who have a lot of concubines and houses. So I hope that if Brother Han marries girls from the Yang family in the future, he must protect them well." Yang Yan said solemnly: "I'm a girl, and I can't make decisions for them, but you are different. Their happiness is all entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't dislike me, I will do my best to love them." Han Rui said firmly.

Yang Yantian smiled and said: "Brother Han, you have said this countless times, I believe in you, but don't just say it, take action."

"How?" Han Rui scratched his head.

"Idiot." Yang Yan rolled her eyes and taught a lesson: "Naturally, we have to take practical actions, for example, buying a dowry gift to win the favor of our girls."

"Uh..." Han Rui was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Little sister of the Yang family, I'm not joking. Don't say such things in the future, otherwise, others will misunderstand my deceitful feelings when they hear it."

"What are you afraid of? You don't need to be responsible. Besides, you have never been married, so how can you talk about deceiving your relationship?" Yang Yan pouted and said, "As long as you are not married, everything is hypothetical."

"But……"

Yang Yan stretched out her fingers to touch Han Rui's lips, her pretty face flushed and said, "Needless to say, I understand, don't worry, I'm not a savage woman, so naturally I won't force you to do anything."

"...Okay." Han Rui sighed, scolding himself for being confused, how could he forget this.

"Hee hee." Seeing Han Rui's embarrassment, Yang Yan couldn't help laughing, and said softly, "Actually, I think you're pretty good, we can try."

"No." Han Rui flatly refused, and said seriously: "Brother Yang and I are brothers in life and death, and I must care about his life's major events."

"Hmph." Yang Yan pouted and said, "Hypocrisy."

"This is the attitude of dealing with people, how can it be called hypocrisy." Han Rui defended.

"Anyway, I can see that you are duplicity." Yang Yan said contemptuously: "You obviously don't like me."

Han Rui shrugged and said, "How can you be sure, I don't like you."
