Outside the imperial city, the exquisite carriages moved forward slowly, Yang Yichen, as a five-grade official, although he could bring his family to come, but he had not yet married, so he was alone. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

In front of the palace gate, because the carriage could not pass, all the officials and their families got off here and walked in.

I saw that the women were dressed in gorgeous clothes, dressed up with flowers, and although the weather was cool now, it was not cold, and the girls were wearing little and pitiful.

The hair ornaments on the head are even more golden, and they are all competing for beauty and high morale, and they are bound to compete at the dinner party.

And the experience over the years has shown that this is not only a banquet, but also an occasion for a group of young ladies to achieve a good marriage story, and the girls perform their best postures one by one to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

And if it is performed on stage at another time and on other occasions, it will be considered that everyone is like a play, and they get everyone's attention by performing, but this kind of banquet will not be said so.

Rather, it's a way for everyone to stick to the rules.

Today, the officials above the fifth grade of Xiyue Kingdom, except for those who are sick and can't get up in bed, all of them are called to come, which can be said to be the backbone of the imperial court.

As a result, there were more than twice as many guards in the palace as usual to protect the safety of officials and their families.

Yang Yichen got out of the carriage and walked alone, walking less than two steps, when he heard someone behind him shouting to him: "Lord Yang stays." ”

Looking in the direction from which the sound came from, I saw a young man in his twenties walking briskly.

This person's name is Ning Hong, twenty-two years old, Ning Ze's younger brother, and Ning Zecheng is different from the mantle of the Ning family's military attaché, he has all kinds of whimsical ideas in his head, and likes to design strange things.

It just so happens that the Ning family is a relatively democratic family, and the younger generations can choose according to their own interests and hobbies, and he, who gives full play to his strengths in the most suitable place, is only twenty-two years old, and has already served in the Ministry of Industry, and his position is in the fifth rank.

He is of the same rank as Yang Yichen, but not a department, he is in charge of farming and water conservancy, while Yang Yichen is in charge of weapons and munitions.

However, both of them are young officials of the Ministry of Industry, and unlike those old people who are old-fashioned and like to play music, they have hard work and drive.

Ning Hong is a very focused person, if you have an idea in your head, you must try it yourself, and it is the first time to realize this idea, when Yang Yichen first joined the company, he didn't hear anything outside the window and was in retreat.

Therefore, he was completely unaware of those embarrassments and cold words, and only later stumbled upon this young man.

After the exchange, I found that they have a lot in common, and they have common opinions on many issues, and the friendship of men is so simple, so they become good friends.

Maybe it's because of a common hobby, a common opinion.

When Yang Yichen heard this, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Lord Ning, why are you alone?"

Yang Yichen was a little puzzled, compared to him as a person from a peasant family, the Ning family has a big business, and it is one of several big families in the capital, and there will definitely be no fewer people who enter the palace to attend the dinner today.

Who knew that Ning Hong waved his hand, a little impatient: "You don't know, those women in my family are in trouble to death one by one, and I don't have time to accompany them, so I just came alone." ”

Although according to his rank, he could sit close to the front with his grandfather, closer to the emperor, but that would inevitably be uncomfortable.

It's better to sit with colleagues in the Ministry of Industry and feel comfortable.

"Let's go, let's go in together. ”

Walking into the palace, in the past, I followed the avenue to the Jinluan Palace, and today I took a set of roads on the west side, leading to the harem.

Compared with the vastness in front of the Jinluan Palace, the road on both sides has a unique flavor, meaning longevity, and the pines and cypresses with long national fortune are evenly distributed on both sides of the road, and they are like the most loyal guards in all seasons.

Everywhere you go, you can see the families of officials, and they are officials of the same dynasty, even if they are not familiar with it, or they do not belong to the same faction, the superficial etiquette is indispensable.

And Yang Yichen can be said to have the lowest status among so many people who have entered the palace, and he is humble and polite, and he has left a good impression in the hearts of the palace people who lead the way.

On the side roads on both sides of the main road, the huge imperial palace is divided into small palaces, and the imperial garden is surrounded by palaces, which is relatively close to the middle of the imperial palace.

In the middle of the imperial garden, there is a pavilion and a stage for the emperor or the concubines to entertain.

Every year, the banquets held at the palace are held here.

When they arrived at their destination, the banquet had already been arranged, the palace ladies arranged desserts and drinks in an orderly manner, and the officials were arranged in corresponding positions according to different ranks.

Yang Yichen is at the end, but it's okay to do this, he is trying to be pure.

And the positioning he gave himself was to give Dugu Khan such a feeling, he was not confined to any force, he was a faction out of the mud in the court, and he was wholeheartedly used by the emperor.

Only in this way can you make a good impression in the emperor's heart and gain his trust.

So he won't go into any faction, and on the surface it seems to be a general friend.

This is the twists and turns in the officialdom, if you choose to stand in line, then you must stand on the right side, otherwise you will face a catastrophe, or do not stand on either side, do not follow the dragon's work.

He was surrounded by officials from other ministries of the same rank.

At this time, the emperor had not yet arrived, and they chatted quietly, exchanged experiences, or praised each other.

Officials are just superficial and wronged.

The main venue of the banquet was divided into two parts, Yang Yichen was located on one side of the men, and on the other side sat the families of various officials.

I saw a certain lady say to the one beside her: "Mrs. Wang, I haven't seen you for many days, and my daughter has become more and more beautiful." ”

"How can there be, Mrs. Lin, you have won the award, your eldest lady is glamorous. ”

These ladies and ladies praise each other, and secretly compete with each other, which is bound to suppress each other's brilliance and become the highlight of the audience.

And there are even more hidden mysteries in the words of these people mixed in the officialdom, and they accidentally leave a handle on the other party.

Time passed minute by minute, the sky was getting dark, and the palace lamps around the imperial garden were gradually lit to illuminate this darkness, and the red light illuminated it, adding a sense of joy.

Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival of reunion.

In the afternoon, Liu Qingxi's home, yesterday and the recent busyness of the family, made all kinds of moon cakes, plum blossom shaped, round with lace

"Qingxi, we just came here, we should have a good relationship with the neighbors, you go and send some to them. "In terms of human relations, Wen's is in place.

After a while, Liu Qingxi took the spring rain and summer lotus, and everyone carried a basket and went out.
