Creation of the whole people: the beginning creates chaos

"Did you miss your family?" Han Rui said casually, changed the subject, and said, "Ma'am, why don't we go now."

"Where to go?"

"Of course it's Yangzhou, otherwise, do you have other options?" Han Rui smiled and said, "Or go to Yangzhou City, that's not bad."

"No need." Concubine Yang refused, "Time is running short, let's go."

"No hurry, it's still early, I want to go shopping again." Han Rui smiled, pointed to the lake in front of him, and said in admiration: "Madam, it's so beautiful here, with lakes and mountains, and pleasant scenery. I don't know how many people want to come, but Over the years, very few people have been able to step here."

"My son-in-law, are you praising me or hurting me?" Concubine Yang snorted softly, "I'm not a country bumpkin, and it's not like I haven't been to the most prosperous streets and alleys in Yangzhou City, but I don't get tired of seeing the lakes and mountains, so That's why I come here often."

"Anyway, I can finally experience it, thank you for your generosity." Han Rui smiled, and the two walked along the lakeside, talking and laughing happily, as if they had forgotten the unpleasant experience just now.

Han Rui didn't mention it, and Concubine Yang was also sensible and didn't mention it, otherwise, Han Rui probably wouldn't help.

The two chatted slowly, and unknowingly came to the lakeside. The lake was sparkling, and the lake breeze was blowing, refreshing the coolness.

Concubine Yang looked sideways, her eyes flickering eagerly, she blinked her eyelashes lightly, her lithe body tilted slightly, she approached Han Rui and said in a low voice: "My son-in-law, I suddenly remembered that my father invited me to have a cup of tea together, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany him."

"It's okay, you can go first." Han Rui said with a smile, "I'll go home by myself after I finish watching the moon."

"En." Concubine Yang nodded with a smile, turned around and walked away, her graceful figure, like a wisp of smoke, lightly blended into the darkness.

Han Rui stood where he was, staring at it for a long time, until he disappeared into the vast night, and then slowly returned home.

The next day, the weather was fine and the spring was brilliant. The warm sunshine dispelled the haze of the cold winter, making people feel refreshed and refreshed. After coming down early in the morning, everyone felt rejuvenated.

After washing up, Han Rui was dressed neatly, sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast slowly, when there was a slight sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw a maid walking slowly from outside the door with a tray, gently come forward.

"My lord, please have a meal." The servant girl Fuli said playfully, "This servant will help you clean your face and make up."

"No need." Han Rui shook his head and said softly, "I'm going to an appointment, so I won't be eating at home. You don't have to wait for me, just go back to your room to rest when you're full."

The Han family has strict rules and regulations, and the servants have their own rules. They must follow the rules when eating and sleeping.

"The servant bid farewell."

The maid walked away lightly.

Han Rui continued to enjoy his breakfast, and after a while, after changing and washing, he picked up the bookcase, carried it on his back, and went out.

Yesterday, Concubine Yang specifically told him to go to Yangzhou and live in the Yang Mansion, and then go to Yang Jiugong to discuss the banquet, so as not to be discovered and cause trouble.The so-called Yang Mansion refers to the house where Concubine Yang lives. It is called "Yang Garden" in Yangzhou. The pavilions are secluded and full of ingenuity.

In any case, Concubine Yang is indeed very particular, Han Rui thought so, walked slowly along the bluestone path to the garden, and from a distance, under the shade of trees by the lake, Yang Jiugong was sitting alone in a wheelchair, concentrating Watch the koi fish playing in the lake.

Han Rui walked over and said hello, "Morning Jiu."

"Morning." Yang Jiugong turned the wheelchair, walked towards Han Rui, sized up Han Rui, and said with a light smile, "My son-in-law's complexion is quite rosy today."

"Yes." Han Rui admitted with a smile all over his face.

"What's the matter, what's the happy event?" Yang Jiugong asked strangely, and then suddenly said: "Could it be, Concubine Yang..."

"That's right." Han Rui smiled and said, "Yesterday she sent someone to send a message, inviting us to swim in the lake."

"Great." Yang Jiugong rejoiced.

"Why is Jiu Gong so happy?" Han Rui asked suspiciously.

"This..." Yang Jiugong hesitated for a while, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, anyway, you just need to prepare a generous gift as soon as possible."

Han Rui nodded in agreement, and pushed Yang Jiugong to a gazebo, where Concubine Yang was already sitting quietly waiting.

"I've seen the emperor's wife." Han Rui bowed his hands and handed over the box full of silver ingots.

Concubine Yang smiled brightly, and said softly: "You're welcome, since you've come to Yangzhou, don't be cautious, just treat it as if you were in your own place."

"Emperor's sister-in-law is serious." Han Rui said with a smile: "In Yangzhou, it is natural to abide by the rules of Yangzhou, otherwise it will become the laughing stock of others."

In this era, etiquette is strict, monarchs and ministers are different, peers make friends, and call each other cousins ​​or cousins, but seniors and juniors still maintain a clear line of distinction. No need, you can make friends at will.

But, if it's cousins, uncles, etc., it's another matter.

In the Han Dynasty, the son-in-law was half, and the aunt was about the same. Anyway, the in-law relationship between the Han family and the Yang family was basically chaotic. However, Concubine Yang was a married daughter. Family has nothing to do with it, so no matter how much Concubine Yang makes a fuss, the final decision is still in the hands of Concubine Yang's parents. Han Rui is naturally not qualified to comment, but he is obliged to protect the face of the two families and the virtue of Concubine Yang. name.

That's why Han Rui readily agreed to go with Concubine Yang.

"The son-in-law is really a reasonable person, no wonder Concubine Yang loves you so much." Concubine Yang praised: "Over the years, her attitude towards you has changed a lot, which is impressive."

Hearing this sentence, Han Rui suddenly felt flattered, and hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty is absurdly praised, but it's just my luck. I happened to meet Concubine Yang in a good mood and she was willing to chat with me, so I decided to ..."

"You misunderstood Concubine Yang." Concubine Yang pursed her lips and smiled, and said warmly, "Concubine Yang didn't change because of you. In fact, her character is just like this, and she doesn't hide her emotions. In emotions, I never bother to fake."

"This is the best way, so that others don't have to speculate." Han Rui said with a smile, "Otherwise, I would feel too much pressure."

"You will also be under pressure, which is really rare." Concubine Yang covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Tell me, who put you under pressure, you might as well say it and let me judge whether it is appropriate."

Han Rui was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty."

Uh……

Concubine Yang was speechless, stunned for a moment, chuckled lightly, poked Han Rui's forehead lightly with her slender fingers, and said coquettishly, "Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking, thanks to the fact that you can speak it out, you don't feel ashamed."

"Not only His Majesty, but His Royal Highness, Prince, Princess..."

Concubine Yang couldn't help but laugh, and sighed softly: "You child, you are getting more and more cunning, you dare to tease the children of the royal family, you are not small."

"That's His Majesty's kindness." Han Rui laughed and said, "Otherwise, I would have been dragged out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded."

"Okay, tell me about the emperor's benevolent law." Concubine Yang was very interested, as if she really planned to listen.

Han Rui hesitated for a moment, then coughed lightly: "Actually, His Majesty didn't punish him much. At most, he was banned for half a year and fined for three months. However, His Majesty's kindness is magnanimous, and I appreciate it."

This reason is a bit far-fetched, and Concubine Yang did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Since you say so, then forget it, and just don't speculate on the holy will in the future."

"How dare I, I'm just talking nonsense." Han Rui smiled apologetically, and changed the subject, "By the way, how is Jiu Gong's condition recovering, and when will he recover?"

"No rush, take your time." Concubine Yang comforted softly.

Han Rui nodded, asked for some details, and left.

Concubine Yang looked at his disappearing figure, frowned slightly and said, "Jiu Gong, why did you think of inviting this kid to the Lantern Festival?"

"Don't you know?" Yang Jiugong said with a smile: "This kid is in Chang'an City, but he is a man of the hour."

"Really?" Concubine Yang shook her head lightly, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't I pay attention."

"When he was in Chang'an, he organized a poetry meeting together with County Magistrate Wu and Chen Gui. The leader of the literary meeting won the number one scholar, which caused a sensation in the entire government and the public." Yang Jiugong reminded: "You won't know about this matter." forget it."

"Oh." Concubine Yang seemed thoughtful, and whispered: "I really don't know, but since someone reported to you, why did you invite Han Rui to participate in the Lantern Festival? Is your friendship really that pure? "

"We have nothing to do with each other." Yang Jiugong pursed his lips and explained, "He is my cousin, not my brother. How could we have such a good relationship? It's just a chance encounter."

Concubine Yang nodded slightly, she didn't bother to care about it, and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that he bought a manor in the south of the Yangtze River, specially built the garden, and set up a workshop."

"Yes." Yang Jiugong said: "I heard that the business is very prosperous."

"How about it, if you have a chance, introduce us to play and open your eyes." Concubine Yang said expectantly.

"This matter is on me." Yang Jiugong patted his chest and promised.

Concubine Yang showed her face and smiled, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly.

"However." Yang Jiugong suddenly frowned and said, "Although Han Rui is a scholar, he has no background knowledge, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come up with anything out of the ordinary."

"Hehe." Concubine Yang said with a smile: "He can write poems, paint pictures, and heals diseases and saves lives. Isn't that all a rare thing? Besides, he is the son-in-law of an official family now, just lacking a set of calligraphy and painting. It doesn't take much effort to find someone to write a few pictures, so that you can use the name of the royal family's children to attend various parties in a grand manner, why not do it?"

"That's a good idea." Yang Jiugong agreed deeply.

Concubine Yang smiled and said: "Okay, you go get ready, I will accompany you to attend later."

"Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll see you later." Yang Jiugong said goodbye with a smile and left, went outside the courtyard to call for a chariot, and carried it into the palace.

"Your Majesty..." Gong'e's guards greeted her one after another.

Concubine Yang waved her hands, gently waved down her sleeves, and ordered: "Help me into the house to rest for a while, and leave later."

"Your Majesty, wait a moment. The maidservant is going to prepare clothes." The two palace maids responded quickly.

"Thanks for your hard work." Concubine Yang smiled slightly: "You two have been with me for many years, and I am most worried about you two. I hope that in the future, you can always do your duty faithfully."

The expressions of the two maidservants changed slightly, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in tears, "I will follow your mother to the death."

"You don't need to be too polite." Concubine Yang smiled and said softly, "You all know that my health is not very good, so..."

The two palace maids felt dark in their hearts, knowing that she was a dying caretaker, so they naturally did not dare to neglect, and kowtowed: "This servant will follow your mother's instructions, and will help you wholeheartedly."

"That's good." Concubine Yang nodded in satisfaction, and signaled: "Go down, and when you're ready, just call me and we'll leave."

The two maids respectfully responded, and quietly exited the room, while Concubine Yang, supported by her maidservants, slowly entered the inner room to recuperate on the couch.

Concubine Yang is bedridden and her body is weak. Every morning, she must drink medicine, and most of her sleep time is spent resting. Unless there are special circumstances, such as the day of offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, Concubine Yang will never step out of the boudoir. No exception, under the service of the maid, Concubine Yang took the decoction. Concubine Yang closed her eyes and meditated for a long time, then suddenly opened her eyes, reached out to touch her waist, and took off a red string, which was a jade pendant hanging around her neck.

The clear and translucent emerald reflected Concubine Yang's fair and tender skin, delicate face, with a little worry, she stroked the jade pendant lightly, and murmured: "Lao Jiu, mother is really going to be overwhelmed, if there is an afterlife, Let's meet again."

"Hmm." Suddenly, the door rang, and the palace maid reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Young Master is asking to see you."

"Let him come in." Yang Fei said calmly, her eyes glanced at the jade pendant, she sighed faintly, restrained her thoughts, corrected her posture, closed her eyes, pretended to continue to doze off.

Soon, the footsteps were light, there was a creaking sound, the curtain was lifted, Yang Jiugong walked in, cupped his hands and said: "Auntie."

"What's the matter?" Concubine Yang said softly.

Yang Jiugong hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Auntie, I just heard from my father that you promised that boy to go to the appointment."

"Yes." Concubine Yang said lightly, "Some people are right. Han Rui is not easy. We need to get closer so that we can help you better."

"But I don't want to." Yang Jiugong frowned and said, "I don't know that kid."

"Then why do you want to participate in the Lantern Banquet?" Concubine Yang asked back.

Yang Jiugong was stunned for a moment, and argued, "That was just to join in the fun, there is no other reason."

"Okay." Concubine Yang said with a smile: "Don't think too much about this kind of thing, just do what I say."

"Okay." Yang Jiugong nodded, hesitantly said, "Um... When will Han Rui's Lantern Banquet start?"

"Si Chu, You Shi, You Chu to Xu Shi, this period of time is relatively late, so we set the banquet at Xu Time." Concubine Yang smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will send the palace people to inform you, but don't run around, If you offend Royal Father, he will not spare you." (End of this chapter)
