After washing, the maid retreated with the footbath in her arms. The slave who appeared at the beginning of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info took out a food box from behind him, took out a cup with a clear wall from the middle, and then took out a small can of wine and poured it into the glass.

Then, take out a small bowl with green ruffles and pinch edges, and take out a pair of red wooden chopsticks and put them on the small bowl.

Then he took out a lot of small plates of food from the food box, and put all kinds of food on small white plates and placed them in front of Bai Rui.

After arranging these, Bai Rui stretched out his chopsticks to clip them. was blocked by the slave, and he didn't know that the slave took out a small white plate, a pair of black chopsticks, a small amount of food from a plate of food, and put it in a small green bowl with lotus leaves pinched in front of Bai Rui.

"Master Hou, please use it." The servant said, silently bowing his head and standing aside, his name for Bai Rui has changed, and there are no longer some "small" words.

"Okay." Bai Rui stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the ruffle leaves, pinched the edges, and put the food in the small turquoise bowl in his mouth.

Seeing that Bai Rui had moved his chopsticks, the servant hurriedly took away the rest of the food in the small turquoise bowl with the ruffle leaf pinching, and repeated the previous action again.

After each dish, Bai Rui took a bite and finished the food, and Bai Rui still didn't feel very full.

He hadn't eaten a day today.

When he had finished eating, the servant brought water and rinsed his mouth.

After serving Bai Rui for dinner, the servant stepped back and said to Bai Rui: "Master Hou, there is a bed behind the ancestral hall, if you are sleepy, you can go to rest and rest." ”

"Okay, I got it." Bai Rui said that he was not sleepy originally, but when the slave said this, he realized that he was indeed tired.

"Yes, the little one stepped back first." The servant retreated as he spoke, and closed the door.

After the slave left, the ancestral hall was quiet, and the candle flame was still shining.

Following.

Early in the morning, Bai Rui walked out of the ancestral hall, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion was standing at the door, and I don't know how long she had been waiting here.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his head, and the tear moles at the corners of his eyes were suddenly not so gorgeous, with a lot of soft brilliance, and they were still plain facial features, but they looked very comfortable.

Seeing the old lady of the Hou Mansion, Bai Rui stepped forward and saluted: "Madame......"

Stopping Bai Rui's words, the old lady of the Hou Mansion reached out to touch Bai Rui's head, stood on tiptoe, and Bai Rui also bent over cooperatively.

"You are already old, you can't just leave in the future, you have to take on the future Sikong Hou Mansion. Today, you're going to visit the wealthy families in the capital, and for days to come, you're going to have to rely on yourself to get on good terms with them, you know? The old lady of the Hou Mansion said.

Between the words, there was a tone that handed over the entire Sikong Hou Mansion to Bai Rui.

"I understand, don't worry about the old lady." Barry said, in a respectful tone.

"Okay. However, I have two more things to tell you. The old lady of the Hou Mansion looked at Bai Rui's cheek and said, "First, you must know that a good image is very important, although our Chu State does not attach as much importance to etiquette as other countries, but it is not allowed to do things that are offensive to morals. ”

"Yes, I won't forget."

"Second, I don't know very well or even know the way to be an official, but I want to tell you that you can't be too extreme, and you must leave room for everything."

"Yes, I won't forget."

"Third, I don't know what to say." The old lady of the Hou Mansion said, reaching out and touching her head, a little speechless, looking like a girl.

"I know you understand what I'm talking about. I'm going back to the ancestral hall. The old lady of the Hou Mansion finally said, stretched out her hand to arrange Bai Rui's clothes again, touched Bai Rui's hair, and turned around and walked into the ancestral hall.

watched the old lady of the Hou Mansion walk into the ancestral hall and close the door. Bai Rui bowed deeply to the door of the ancestral hall, then turned to leave.

Walking around a corner, he saw the second son of Han Fu and Sikong Yi standing together.

As soon as the second son of the Han Mansion saw Bai Rui, he first took a closer look at Bai Rui, from his appearance to his posture, he looked at it all.

Finally, a smile broke into his face.

"Little Marquis." There he said, "Come back." ”

Nodding, Bai Rui said, "Yes, I'm back." ”

"Welcome back." The second son of Han Fu said.

"Thank you." Barry said.

The gathering between the Gobi men is not like the men in the Central Plains, who travel in the mountains and rivers, drink and listen to music.

The reunion between them, at the beginning, Bai Rui knew that it would not be like his usual reunion.

However, he didn't expect the reunion in front of him at all...... The gathering of the men of Chu was actually soaked in wine and drinking water.

According to the norm, it should be a hot spring to drink wine, but here, this place, is quite the opposite.

Next.

Early in the morning, Ah Zhe got up and went to the backyard to chop firewood. The backyard where he is a lot of people, and there are a lot of people every night. And most of the people who can come in and consume are either rich or expensive.

This place is a famous gold cave in the capital of Chu State, and it is not a problem to strive for tens of thousands of silver in one night.

Ah Zhe felt that he was lucky to be able to work in such a place again, and he also felt that he was very unlucky, everything he saw could only be seen by him, and it had nothing to do with him.

After figuring out this truth, he was a little helpless, and went to chop wood with an axe. When he had finished chopping wood, he was just about to sit down and drink water, when he heard the steward call him.

"Ah Zhe, go and clean up the guest room."

"Wasn't this cleaned up by Hu Bing?" Ah Zhe said.

"Hu Bing, this kid, I don't know where to go. Don't talk nonsense, the room you are going to clean up is not an ordinary room. I won't let ordinary people go. "The steward said there.

"Okay, I'll do it." Ah Zhe said helplessly, and got up and walked to the room that the steward said.

Reluctantly, he opened the door and prepared to tidy up his room.

Ah Zhe lazily raised his eyes and saw a man, sitting sideways at the window, with one foot bent on one knee, holding a wine jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

Originally, the person who Ah Zhe should have paid attention to at first was the person lying on the ground, but that person attracted all of Ah Zhe's attention in this way.

In later rumors, Ah Zhe kept saying that he had met the full picture of the sun god that day.

Later, it was rumored in the market that Sikong Houfu, the demeanor of the new marquis, all of them were praised.

And Bai Rui also successfully broke into the circle of nobles of Chu State.

Fortunately, the Sikong Marquis Mansion was originally the head of the four families of the Chu State, and among the nobles of the Chu State, there was some considerable prestige. The other children of the nobles of the Chu State, when they heard that it was the Marquis of Sikong Mansion, all had a lot of feelings about Bai Rui.

The second is the second son of the Han Mansion, who has a lot of help to Bai Rui, so that Bai Rui can better and faster enter the aristocratic circle of Chu State. (To be continued.) )
