Chapter 106: Moving to a New House

The sky was clear, the wind was smooth, the clear blue looked as if there was an unreal feeling, the golden sun was dazzling, and everything on the ground seemed to be shining brightly, exuding a gentle soft light. Xia Hongsheng got up early in the morning, not for anything else, just to be able to put on that gorgeous dress, the clothes were really difficult to wear, it took Xia Hongsheng a long time, and finally put them on with the help of the maid. The housekeeper and cook that Qu Tutong gave him, as well as those little maids and maids, have all begun to get busy in the new house, the busiest is the cook, today Xia Hongsheng moved to a new house, he didn't know many people in Chang'an City, but the gentlemen in the Hongwen Pavilion were determined to come, they had already made a big fuss in the Hongwen Pavilion, saying that they were going to come to eat Xia Hongsheng, and the cook who ate knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Early in the morning, Xia Hongsheng stood outside the door, and the guard of honor belonging to the baron behind him also rose, today is Xia Hongsheng's first housewarming to a new home, and he is a guest when he comes to the door, and the etiquette must be in place, otherwise it will ruin his reputation if it is passed out, and he will be considered disrespectful to himself by the guests who come to the door, and then feel resentful.

Not long after the guard of honor got up, I saw a few people coming from afar, and when I was about to get closer, Xia Hongsheng greeted him, it was the local Jingyang County Order, and the county Cheng County Lieutenant and a cadre came over, Xia Hongsheng was sealed in Jingyang County, and the county order was an official of Jingyang County, and he came to see him from now on. When he arrived, Xia Hongsheng arched his hand: "Lord County Order, please!" ”

The county order is a person who bends down and bows down: "The lower officials meet Lord Xia, today Lord Xia is happy to move, and Lord Xia can seal Jingyang, which is also the joy of Jingyang County, and the lower officials have nothing else, the only loess, a few bunches of new grain, dedicated to the adults." ”

This is a gift, send the local soil and crops, on behalf of this place has become Xia Hongsheng's land, although it is not a practical thing, but in name it is a big gift, he is a county order, this is also the most suitable thing for him to send, if it is exchanged for money or other things, it is easy to be criticized, less will offend Xia Hongsheng, more will be impeached, said to be a tyrant. Therefore, in the name of his parents in Jingyang County, he sent Xia Hongsheng to the soil and newly harvested grain in Jingyang County, the soil represents the soil, and the new grain represents the harvest, which has a very important symbolic meaning.

"Thank you, Lord Prefectural!" Xia Hongsheng took the two things very solemnly and said, "Please also ask the county magistrate to sit down first." ”

Seeing the county order go over and hand over the things to the housekeeper, Xia Hongsheng sighed, it seems that it is still very important to make up for the knowledge in these aspects, if it weren't for the etiquette rules to pay attention to when Xu Xiaode moved in the past few days, I am afraid that when I saw the county order send loess and a few handfuls of grain today, there should be a misunderstanding.

Not long after being sent to the county order, I saw a few carriages coming from afar, and I saw four jujube red horses coming from the front of my head, and Xia Hongsheng went forward to greet him from afar. The Son of Heaven drove six horses, the princes drove four, the doctors three, the scholars two, and the concubines one. The four horse-drawn carriages are either the prince or the prince, and Xia Hongsheng has to go forward to greet him.

When they got closer, they saw the carriage stop, and the guards came down from below, Li Ke was the first to come down, and it was Li Lizhi who followed behind him, and when the two of them got off the carriage, they saw a person coming out of it, Xia Hongsheng was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, meet His Royal Highness the King of Han, His Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Originally, if there were only Li Ke and Li Liqing, Xia Hongsheng didn't need to meet him, firstly, the three of them were classmates in the Hongwen Pavilion, and secondly, the three of them were also very familiar with each other, and they usually acted as classmates, but now that Li Chengqian is also here, then he has to show respect.

Li Ke and Li Lizhen took a step aside to avoid it, while Li Chengqian stepped forward, helped Xia Hongsheng up, and said, "Gu said before, you and I don't have to be like this. I often hear the third brother say that Xia Hongsheng is a friend, Lone is sincere and wants to have this friend, in the future, you will call me Chengqian, I will call you Jingshi, you and my brother are commensurate, isn't it beautiful? ”

Whether he really really wants to make a friend, or is in the need of political co-optation, this attitude is also very good, so Xia Hongsheng smiled, not hypocritical, and raised his hand: "That is the case, in the next fortunate ear, Brother Chengqian, for Brother De, princess, please!" ”

There has been a change in the title, but Xia Hongsheng still knows in his heart that among Li Shimin's sons who are not bad, Li Chengqian inherited his domineering and ambition, Li Ke inherited his heroism and intelligence, Li Tai inherited his talent and cunning, Li Zhi inherited his benevolence and affection, and as for the others, it is estimated that he inherited his son-in-law's temperament and was domineering.

Therefore, Xia Hongsheng can call Li Ke a brother, but he will not really get too close to Li Chengqian. Xia Hongsheng has not yet clarified his own path, so he does not plan to take sides among these people for the time being. It's still early, Li Lao Er is still young, and it's too early to think about these things. And in Xia Hongsheng's heart, there was a faint way of it, and it was not clear enough for Xia Hongsheng to decide which one to support. He also needs time to make the path in his heart clear.

In the carriage following Li Chengqian, there was Xu Xiaode's family, Xu Xiaode is now the prince's right guard Changshi, and he is a member of the East Palace, so he came after him.

Xu Xiaode got out of the car to take a look, and then bowed to Xia Hongsheng and saluted: "Shi Xu Xiaode, the head of the prince's right guard, congratulations to Captain Xia on his housewarming!" ”

"Uncle Xu!" Xia Hongsheng was startled, quickly dodged, and then pulled Xu Xiaode up, and stood opposite to do the junior Lilly. Although his official position is higher than Xu Xiaode's, and he also has a knighthood, Xu Qixian's family treats him well, and Xia Hongsheng will not be ungrateful and self-conscious.

Seeing Xia Hongsheng like this, Xu Xiaode stroked his beard with great relief, and said: "Well, today's good nephew's housewarming, on the serious scene, there should still be dignity and orderliness." The rank is in the front, the personal relationship is in the back, and there will be people in the future, and the virtuous nephew must have some way. Besides, I don't know if there are enough things at home? The virtuous nephew moved here, the new sealed soil, those villagers will come to please, the virtuous nephew or should be fed, or should give money, don't be stingy, lose face in front of everyone. The old man brought the cook from the house and went over to help. ”

"Oh, thank you Uncle Xu, the things prepared by the little nephew are enough, but there are not enough people to deal with it!" Xia Hongsheng was pleasantly surprised, and the housekeeper next to him also hurriedly led the cooks to the back to help.

"Yes, that's fine. Now that you have moved to a new house, it is time to buy some things, the income of the new tea is unexpected, and the virtuous nephew is the time to spend money. The account office at home is calculating the income, and the first installment of the dividend will be sent to the virtuous nephew in the near future. Xu Xiaode lowered his voice and said to Xia Hongsheng.

"Hehe, thank you Uncle Xu!" Xia Hongsheng grinned, Xu Xiaode also stroked his beard with a happy face, who can think that he has more money!

sent Xu Xiaode in, and all the gentlemen also arrived together, and they all came down one by one, and congratulated Xia Hongsheng on behalf of their parents. Xia Hongsheng scolded with a smile and sent them into the courtyard, and Li Ke led them to make a fuss together, and he had to go to the door to greet them.

After a while, I saw two people riding horses leisurely swaying over, and when they got closer, they found that it was Li Chunfeng, the ancient god stick he met in the Taishi Bureau three days ago, but he didn't know the other one.

"Daoist Li, don't come unharmed! Welcome, welcome! When the two of them arrived and jumped off the horse, Xia Hongsheng stepped forward and said.

"Huh?! ......" The person I didn't know suddenly stared at Xia Hongsheng in a daze, with an unbelievable expression, looking at Xia Hongsheng, and then at Li Chunfeng, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he stretched out his fingers and pinched them a few times, but he had a stunned look.

"Ahem...... This ......" Xia Hongsheng coughed dryly, looked at Li Chunfeng, and asked.

The man just woke up as if he was in a dream, and arched his hand: "I have long heard that Xia Gongzi is famous, and he is knighted at the age of thirteen, and I am second to none!" Poor Yuan Tiangang, this is polite. ,”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned, thinking that if there was a mouthful of water in his mouth at this time, it was estimated that he would be able to squirt three or five meters away.

Yuan Tiangang! The battle stick in the god stick, the first person in the eternal god stick!

Look at Li Chunfeng, and look at this Yuan Tiangang, the most famous ultimate god stick duo in the Tang Dynasty, this time it's all at once.

Receiving the shock in his heart, Xia Hongsheng said hello and invited the two into the court, after Xia Hongsheng arrived in Chang'an, he didn't have much intersection with those officials, so there were not many people coming. Those bigwigs in the DPRK and China have not hugged any of their thighs, and they are soft-spoken, and many people in the DPRK and China are still in a wait-and-see posture for themselves, which Xia Hongsheng also knows.

Seeing that no one would come anymore, Xia Hongsheng was already preparing to have a banquet, but suddenly heard a shout outside: "The holy decree has arrived......"

As soon as this sound came out, the noise in the court suddenly stopped, and the needle fell in an instant. There is only one lieutenant and only a county man, and there will be a holy decree on the day of housewarming, which is also ...... Everyone in the court was a little stunned.

"Childe is not going to get the order soon?!" Yuan Tiangang didn't know where to get out of here, and pulled Xia Hongsheng by the hand.

Xia Hongsheng reacted at this time, hurriedly walked to the door, and invited the attendant who passed the decree in.

"The edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: Xia Qing is young and promising, and he ......is worried about the country" Everyone bowed down to ask for the order, and the inner servant read it aloud, and there was a lot of muttering, and Li Laoer's writing was quite good. After reading for a long time, I finished reading, anyway, it means that you are very capable, there are a lot of ideas, I am very happy, today you move, your family has a small business, I will reward you with some money, silk cloth and maids, you will continue to work hard in the future, and contribute to Datang.

Xia Hongsheng received the holy decree after three bows and nine bows, and gave the waiter the money consistently, and the waiter immediately smiled and said hello to Xia Hongsheng. Then let the gift be brought in.
