Creation of the whole people: the beginning creates chaos

Chapter 678
"That's right." Han Rui admitted frankly, smiled slightly, and asked curiously, "How do you know?"

"I heard that last night you met at Yangcheng Lake to drink and have fun..." Li Ji explained.

Han Rui was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. This kind of speculation has spread to such an extent.

Li Ji smiled and said: "I don't know how the news spread, but you have a very close relationship with Concubine Yang, I guess, it must be related to this matter."

"What do you think?" Han Rui asked back, angrily said: "It must be Concubine Yang who is playing tricks behind the scenes, otherwise, the news would not have spread so fast, even you have heard about it."

"That's natural." Li Ji said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Yang is quite famous in Jiangzhou..."

"You are quite well informed." Han Rui praised.

"It's not just me, countless people in the streets and alleys of the capital are discussing this matter." Li Ji spread his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Han, do you know who Concubine Yang is?"

"I don't know." Han Rui shook his head sincerely.

"She is well-known as a talented woman." Li Ji exclaimed: "Qinqi calligraphy and painting, poetry and song, dance and swordsmanship, she is proficient in everything, especially good at playing and singing. Her voice is moving, melodious and melodious. The sound of nature."

Han Rui was silent, noncommittal, he was not so bored, and went to inquire about the deeds of a person he had never met. Besides, people in ancient times liked gossip the most, especially officials and eunuchs, who were more keen to publicize this matter in order to satisfy their superior vanity.

Li Ji talked endlessly about Concubine Yang's great achievements, and seemed to be lost in memory, with an intoxicated expression.

Han Rui said impatiently, "Hey, have you finished?"

"No." Li Ji said unceremoniously: "You promise to help me first, and I will tell you about Concubine Yang."

"Didn't you tell me just now?" Han Rui rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not lying to you, but you don't believe me. If you insist on telling me, it's not torturing me."

"This matter is related to me, and I am also following orders." Li Ji smiled bitterly: "If you don't agree, I dare not disobey the orders of the superior."

Han Rui frowned slightly, and said in displeasure, "Brother Li, do you know what I hate the most?"

"Yeah." Li Ji hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "I know, coercion and temptation are just a trick to deal with a dude like me."

"Since you know, why don't you hide?" Han Rui said in surprise, "I'm not afraid that I will really coerce you into doing bad things."

"Don't be afraid." Li Jili said confidently: "Although you are a scholar, you come from a humble background, how can you compare with those rich and powerful people, and you won't use these dirty tricks to bully grassroots people like us."

That's it, Han Rui touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little dumbfounded, what's the reason for this?But after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case. Take Li Ji as an example. As the grandson of Zaifu, he is willing to be inferior to others. Not only does he not complain, but he is also very optimistic and actively participates in scientific examinations. Han Rui admired his spirit.

Seeing this, Han Rui couldn't help but reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comfortingly said: "You have such an idea, you are a good example and worthy of respect."

"I know, I worked very hard too..." Li Ji laughed.

"Okay." Han Rui waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business, what does Concubine Yang want from me?"

"I don't know." Li Ji shook his head and said, "It is said that it is a banquet for Confucianism, and it is also a ceremony to celebrate Concubine Yang's new concubine. It is estimated that several banquets will be held, and celebrities and writers in the capital will be invited to appreciate Concubine Yang's demeanor."

Han Rui curled his lips and said, "Those people, besides appreciating beauty, what skills do they have? I don't bother to be with them."

"You, those who don't know are fearless. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I can't wait to go to the banquet immediately, soaked in Concubine Yang's immortal energy, and enhance my temperament." Li Ji said with a smile: "But don't worry, this banquet, there will be no What kind of Hongmen banquet is at most a poetry meeting, just reciting poems and composing Fu, there is no danger."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore." Han Rui said calmly, "I don't want to do this, and Concubine Yang is not a stunning beauty, so I'm not interested in joining in the fun."

Li Ji was stunned, then smiled, nodded and said: "That's true, how can a handsome young man like you fall in love with mere ordinary people..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me the result, what exactly is it?" Han Rui asked, but he wondered in his heart, is it because of the splashed ink painting?Impossible, Concubine Yang is not short of money, and has the backing of Taichang Siqing's father, so there is no need to tangle with him, maybe there is something else hidden.

Li Ji hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Concubine Yang invited you to go, and I hope you can give me some pointers."

"Uh..." Han Rui blinked, feeling a little baffled, and gave some pointers, what's so rare.

"Concubine Yang said that you have excellent piano skills and great talent." Li Ji said with a bright smile: "Tonight happens to be the day for viewing lanterns. If Brother Han is willing to go to watch, then you can take the opportunity to see him. If you don't, then It’s nothing, just pretend you don’t know.”

"That's a good idea." Han Rui said deeply, "I'm going back to prepare presents now, and I'll take them with me when the time comes."

"Don't rush these two days, wait until evening." Li Ji suggested.

"That's fine." Han Rui said briskly, "I'll go back and make arrangements to go to the Yang Mansion for a banquet in the evening."

"Okay." Li Ji nodded and said, "At that time, I will send carriages and horses to pick them up."

Han Rui declined, rode back to the manor outside the city, tidied up a bit, then left in a hurry and went straight to the palace.

Walking into the palace, he came near the imperial study room, and the guard at the gate stopped him. Han Rui handed out his token and entered smoothly. He went straight to the edge of the vermilion lacquered column, found a gap, reached out and tapped lightly, and with a creak, a door on the wall slid open. Door.

Passing through the narrow space at the door, Han Rui walked in, walked around the bookshelf, and came to the desk case on the east side. Looking at the Suzaku sitting behind the desk and writing at the desk, Han Rui nodded slightly.

Suzaku raised his head, showed a warm and kind smile, and greeted: "Mr. Han, if there is anything, please tell me."

Han Rui looked around, pondered for a moment, and said straight to the point: "Concubine Yang called me into the palace, do you want to ask me for something?"

"Yes." Suzaku nodded, and said frankly, "However, it's just a guess."

"Oh." Han Rui frowned, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If Concubine Yang didn't have something to do with him, Concubine Yang probably wanted to set him up to lure him into a trap.

"You know Concubine Yang?"

"I haven't seen it." Han Rui shook his head, admitted frankly, and asked, "What does she want from me?"

"It is said that Concubine Yang wants Yang Jiu'er to marry you." Suzaku smiled and said, "However, this is just a guess, and I'm not sure. Mr. Han might as well go and see."

"I refuse this matter." Han Rui said flatly.

Suzaku was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Understood, but this is an imperial decree, and you cannot refuse it unless...you drop out of school."

"Then tell me, why do you have to go?" Han Rui frowned and said, "How do you know that Concubine Yang is that Concubine Yang."

"This is His Majesty's will." Suzaku smiled and said, "I can't reveal more."

"Okay." Han Rui was depressed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know what to do."

"Then take your leave." Suzaku bowed and saluted.

"Go slowly." Han Rui nodded, watched Suzaku walk out of the room, and suddenly asked, "By the way, that bastard Li Ji didn't cause trouble, did he?"

Suzaku stopped and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just a small fight, it's not going to get in the way."

"That's good." Han Rui sighed slightly, turned and returned to the desk.

Not long after, dusk fell, and the night gradually enveloped the imperial city. The lights were brilliant and brilliant, like stars and brocades, shining with charming luster.

Han Rui came to Chang'an West City leisurely in a carriage, galloped on the bustling and noisy streets, and soon came to Yangzhou City's most prestigious Yangliu River, the residence of Concubine Yang.

Standing on the high bridge, looking at the undulating water of the Yangliu River, a gust of cold wind blew in, messing up her hair and dancing it, Han Rui suddenly felt a trance, as if returning to her childhood memory, a familiar figure appeared in front of her eyes , which made him startled for a while before he woke up. He quickly calmed down and continued to walk forward.

On the banks of the Yangliu River, lights and shadows overlap, ancient trees and stone monuments stand tall, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions are looming, and the flowing water is tinkling. , looking left and right, looking for the figures of other people, unexpectedly, a gust of fragrant wind rushed towards her face, and then her slender hands grabbed and tugged at the sleeves.

A soft and charming voice full of charm and charm unique to mature women rang out: "My son-in-law."

"Miss Concubine Yang, stop making trouble." Han Rui frowned, shook off Concubine Yang's hand, and quickly pulled away to avoid the bad luck of being dragged. Then he looked back and saw the graceful Concubine Yang, wearing a In the pink dress, she stood prettyly beside her, with her hair folded in her hands, smiling slightly, her shy and charming appearance really made people's heart flutter.

It's a pity, Han Rui sighed in his heart, he had seen through this appearance a long time ago, with a calm expression and a gentle tone, he said, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Concubine Yang smiled sweetly, and whispered softly: "My son-in-law, since you're here, you definitely don't mind staying overnight."

"Ma'am, I have to go home." Han Rui said firmly, "I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, tomorrow is a holiday, I can take you back." Concubine Yang smiled and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, I have nothing to do, I can play with you."

Han Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Ma'am, if you do this, you're putting me in a situation where there is no redemption."

"My son-in-law, I don't eat people, what am I afraid of?" Concubine Yang blamed, her eyes were resentful, quite sad.

Han Rui was silent, and after a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, I don't like being followed and watched."

"My son-in-law..." Concubine Yang blushed, a little flustered, and quickly explained: "I have no malicious intentions."

"That won't work either." Han Rui said lightly, and walked away.

"Hey." Concubine Yang called out, hurriedly moved her lotus feet to catch up, lightly rolled Han Rui's sleeves, and said with a light smile, "My son-in-law..."

Han Rui paused, turned his head, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you should be clear, this will cause people to misunderstand."

"We are lonely and widowed..."

"Aren't you still separated by a gauze curtain?" Han Rui interrupted: "Besides, you are not a beautiful woman, and you are not attractive. Who cares?"

Concubine Yang was stunned, then burst out laughing, covered her mouth and stomped her feet lightly, and said coquettishly: "My son-in-law, you are too bad."

Han Rui twitched the corner of his mouth, ignored him, and continued walking forward.

Looking at Han Rui's back, the charming smile on Concubine Yang's face slowly faded away, she gritted her teeth, and murmured to herself: "This kid, he doesn't eat oil and salt, it's really difficult..."

After walking a few steps, he turned back, sighed softly, and chased after Han Rui again.

"Why are you back?" Han Rui was surprised.

Concubine Yang smiled softly, and said softly: "My lord, I thought about it just now, since it's my husband's intention, I can't disobey it, so I agreed."

"Really?" Han Rui's eyes widened, half-believing.

"Really." Concubine Yang smiled like a flower, and said softly, "Then... let's set off now."

"Uh, I'm not going." Han Rui waved his hands, muttering in his heart, fortunately I was smart, otherwise I would have been deceived.

Concubine Yang sighed softly: "You are worried about Li Ji's revenge, don't worry, I promise not to implicate you, as long as I take you sneak out of the mansion and leave Chang'an City tonight, it has nothing to do with you."

Han Rui frowned and hesitated, "Is it...appropriate to do this?"

"It's all right." Concubine Yang wrote lightly, "It's all like this anyway, and I'm not short of time."

Han Rui hesitated, Concubine Yang said softly, "My son-in-law, do you want me to pester you every day?"

Having said all this, Han Rui couldn't shirk anymore, nodded, and expressed his attitude: "Okay, I will do it according to your mother's wishes, but let's make it clear first, after the matter is over, I will leave Chang'an City. Returning home to worship ancestors..."

"Okay, anyway, your parents are dead, so we don't have to go back to Beijing to report on our work." Concubine Yang said with a smile: "Not only can we travel together, but I will go wherever you go, and I will go with you when you go back to Hangzhou, that is. I don't know, when the time comes...whether you will take me in or not."

It can be heard that Concubine Yang is joking, but the meaning in the words is a bit ambiguous, reminiscent of Pianpian, Han Rui's heart sank slightly, and he didn't dare to answer, changed the subject in a hurry, and asked: "So, Now what are we going to do."

"Naturally it's a lake tour." Concubine Yang said with a smile, "Could it be that the son-in-law has forgotten that tonight is the first time for the Yangzhou Poetry Association to be held."

"Oh, have you discussed this matter with your parents?" Han Rui asked. After all, Yang Jiugong is the magistrate of Yangzhou. , Instead, Concubine Yang presided over the banquet for heroes from all parties.

"Of course not." Concubine Yang said, "Therefore, I will discuss with my husband."

"It's so simple." Han Rui was surprised and felt that she was being perfunctory.

Concubine Yang rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Do you think I'm being perfunctory?"

"Well, it's very similar." Han Rui nodded earnestly, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly said, "The moon tonight is so beautiful, even brighter and more beautiful than last year."

"Yes, I miss my relatives a lot during the festive season." Concubine Yang felt lost.
