The rules of the silver post are not so complicated, Chang'an's famous filial sons, filial daughters, elders, a little famous people from the poor family, low-level officials who are dedicated to their duties, low-level captains of the Chang'an garrison, officials who have made great contributions during the year, and those who return to Beijing to report on their work, and the government Yin.

The man with the golden post is to bring a gift into the palace, but the one with the silver post is to leave with a reward after the feast.

Ma Zhou put down the gold post: "Everyone, let's talk about my opinion first." One knife can't go, he is the old man of Wenyue Pavilion, this time there are only two places, and one knife retreats. ”

Yidao nodded and stood aside, he had this kind of bearing.

Ma Zhou continued: "The people of the Wajima operation have a lot of credit, but they can't go either. The merits of Wadao cannot be known to the world, unless Wadao becomes a place of change and the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the merits will not be solved, forgive me. ”

Mu Yun also stepped aside with a fist, and the rest of the people who went to Wadao with him also retreated.

They understand that the Tang Dynasty has a big plan against Wadao, and their exploits have been recorded in the secret book of the historical books, and everyone's reward department, official department, and military department have been given generously.

"This time, I went to the grassland first. But there are two, there are serious disabilities on the body and can't go, not because the merit is not high, but because these old nobles in the Ministry of Rites still have to talk about the face of a Tang Dynasty, so the second is to be literate and know etiquette, and people who understand the etiquette and rules of the court. ”

This is true. Then those with broken legs and few arms stepped aside. "The Shark King's exploits on the grassland are among the top three, and no one has anything to say when he speaks.

Ma Zhou bowed: "Forgive me." ”

"You're welcome, your own family doesn't say these things, you are right."

Ma Zhou said again: "Add one more, this time I won't choose a woman for the time being, the men and women of the Taiji Hall Night Banquet are divided into separate halls, and it's useless for women to go." On the contrary, the concubines in the harem and the noblewomen in Chang'an are uncomfortable. ”

Ma Zhou said one by one, and finally left six people, and Ma Zhou said: "Then, the lottery has been drawn." ”

Everyone laughed together.

After the person was selected, Zhang Chuchen sent someone to send a letter to Liu Mu and reported the list.

Liu Mu had already finished packing up the manuscripts at home.

After Baoqin got the list, he reported it to Liu Mu, and then asked, "Lang Jun, are we going back to Liu's house?" ”

"Xiao Ling'er, where are they?"

"This meeting should have arrived, they were in Wutongfang when we went yesterday, and they originally said that they would go over early this morning, and they wanted to purchase some gifts, and they didn't want to be empty-handed. It's just that we came back in the morning, and I guess we missed it on the way. ”

Liu Mu nodded, and asked again, "What about Su Iling?" ”

"Very proud, but very peaceful. According to my observation in Wutongfang, in addition to not being very kind to her own people, she will give a small gift to the noblewomen she meets in Wutongfang. ”

"Very good." Yanagi didn't say anything more.

Baoqin said again: "That Su I Yazi has been working hard to learn Chinese recently, and if her accent is heard by people in the Jiangnan area, I am afraid that she will be mistaken for a person from Chang'an." ”

"What do you think?"

"I'm afraid that the emperor's speculation is accurate, she is forbearing, waiting for a chance to take revenge. And according to the rules, she did something meritorious, and the princess would personally reward her on the New Year. The princess meant either to reward her or to ask her what she wanted, depending on the situation. ”

After Baoqin finished speaking, he asked, "Lang Jun, shall we go back to Liu's house?" ”

"No return."

The banquet of the top noble families in Chang'an will be held on the evening of the 29th day of the lunar month, because they will attend the night banquet of the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve. So tonight, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of the Liu clan.

This is not because of the willow wood, and the willow house is also a person with the qualification of the golden post.

Liu Chongchong has silver posts.

Liu Mu doesn't have a post, he doesn't need it, his face is a post. Even the hugging of the qin is not needed, the hugging qin is licensed by the eldest grandson Wujian and is qualified to participate in the women's banquet.

Baoqin persuaded again: "Lang Jun, let's go back." Not going back, there is no suitable reason. ”

"This!" Liu Mu didn't want to go back, he wanted to wait for news from the Ministry of Rites.

Baoqin persuaded again: "It's not that there is no one in our house, arrange it." This New Year, except for the inner forbidden area, there is no holiday, and the rest of the squares are also closed. Most of the people live in Sanyuan or Jingyang, so they will send someone to pick some people over, even if they are not selected, Lang Jun will give a generous reward. ”

"Well, according to your words." Yanagi still agreed to Huqin's suggestion.

After Baoqin went to arrange, Liu Mu and Baoqin went to the south of Chang'an City, and when they went out of the city to the Liu family's mansion in Chang'an, the sun had sunk in the west, and it was at most half an hour away from dark, and Liu Mu arrived at the door of the Liu house.

The willow room has already returned first, and this will be arranging seats in the main hall.

The great family is the same as the court, who sits in that position is very particular, not only looking at the concubine, but also looking at the seniority, as well as the title. Although Liu Mu is currently the highest title of the Liu family, his rank is too low to be in the position of the chief officer, but he is also in one of the first few seats.

Dugu Lanruo is in the backyard female dependents, but she is the absolute chief.

Because she is a princess, this one reason is enough.

Seeing Liu Mu come back, several people of the same generation as Liu Mu of the Liu family immediately greeted him, what they thought before, how they looked and didn't know, but now they know that Liu Mu has the power to decide someone's future and fate with a few words.

Liu Mu smiled and kept returning the salute, and walked happily into the house.

Inside the house, a young man greeted Liu Mu, and the others immediately dispersed when they saw the situation.

"Liu Zheng." The visitor declares his or her name.

Liu Mu gently patted Liu Zheng twice on his left arm: "Whatever you want to say, don't say it here." ”

Liu Zheng didn't expect Liu Mu to say this, so he was stunned for a moment and then stepped aside, letting Liu Mu go first and then follow into the main hall. After greeting the elders, Liu Mu said that he was going to change his clothes.

Liu Zheng said that he brought Liu Mu over.

In one room, a servant had already prepared hot water, and after washing his face, Yanagi changed his outer clothes into the regular clothes he wore at home.

Only then did Liu Zheng speak: "I first heard that Uncle Tai and the owner of the house told me that you helped me book a family, and then arranged a new official position. I refused at the time. ”

Liu Mu smiled: "This little story, if you listen to Uncle Tai, it is probably more interesting." ”

"Yes, I was very vehemently opposed. I can't be the master of family affairs, this matter should be arranged by the elders. But I can make my own decisions in the official position, I think I am talented, and I believe that there will be a day when I will be able to stand out. ”

"That's a good word, have you heard of Liu Renliang?"

Liu Zheng nodded: "Naturally, I have heard of it, and I know it." Although I don't know each other very well, I can talk a few words when we meet, and it is okay to sit down and have a few drinks. ”
