was woken up by the yelling of the pervert, and Jiang Tian realized that he was going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. And not all officials can go, except for Beijing officials above the fifth grade and governors who just returned to Beijing to restore the order. That is, the relatives have this qualification. So this morning, the two of them, who expected that Jiang Tian might break the rules, hurriedly ran over, and saw that he, the emperor's junior brother from the first grade, really didn't know that there was such an activity. While grooming and dressing, Jiang Tian was infinitely slandered in his heart, you said that most of the group meetings in the future generations will be held before the New Year, so as not to disturb the family atmosphere of the New Year, but our traveler does not have this consciousness, so we have to pick such a day, in fact, there are many Beijing officials, even if it is to pick more than five grades, there are dozens of people, and the New Year can really toss people. Thinking so in his heart, he is actually a little lucky, because he doesn't know how to face Linglong now, and he doesn't even know how to flirt with Linglong, so he just took this opportunity to go out and avoid it for a while, so he could think about countermeasures.

On the way to the palace, Wu Yuan explained in detail to this gentleman who didn't understand the rules of officialdom, this New Year and New Year's greetings are a knowledge, there are so many officials in Beijing, you can't visit them one by one, right? Even if you are separated from distant relatives, you can't finish it in just a few days. So the officialdom automatically invented the unspoken rules of posting, these days the little guys in the house can be busy, carrying a large stack of worship posts in order to deliver from house to house, there is a friendship at a glance will naturally be received, maybe people's worship posts are also on the way to your house. If you are your mentor, friend, boss, etc., you can't be so hasty, so naturally you have to bring gifts to visit, and the other party will decide whether to receive it according to the intimacy with you. After saying such a big set, Jiang Tian could only nod again and again, who said that the ancients were not smart enough, didn't this invent the New Year's card in advance.

When they entered the palace, Wu Yuan and Tian Xuhai could no longer follow Jiang Tian, they themselves had no rank and did not inherit the title, and being able to enter the palace was already regarded as a blessing from heaven to the whole world. Jiang Tian is the opposite, he has a public office, and it stands to reason that he should stand in the queue of officials, but do you say that he is a relative or a civil official? He has the identity of the emperor's junior brother but has no military exploits, and he is wearing a bullfighting suit but he is not from the right path of scientific research. Xun Qi thought that he had won glory and wealth without much effort, and the officials instinctively avoided this new school representative, as if they were destined to be excluded by the two groups of people. However, both sides clearly know that Jiang Tian must be pulled down to their own camp, over there the Liu family has already let their sister-in-law be called brother and sister to each other, but the civil official, the kid of the Tian family, is not very competitive and can not always integrate into this circle, the grandson of the Song family is not bad, but unfortunately Song Yingxing originally belonged to the new school lineage, and the eight-share article was only examined, so it obviously can't be regarded as the help of the civil official, so who else can come out of this?

While hesitating, Liang Fan Shi Ran, the right attendant of the military department who had shown his face a few times before, walked over: "Lord Jiang is late, but he has been waiting for a long time." ”

Jiang Tian still had a little impression of him, and also clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Lord Liang is polite, I don't know where I am coming?" ”

"I have heard for a long time that you are obsessed with science, and you have never asked about the mundane affairs of the mortal world, and you know that what you said is true when you see it today, and you naturally want to congratulate the New Year."

"Yes, yes, look at my memory, if it weren't for Dexin and Sicheng to remind me today, I would have forgotten about the New Year." Jiang Tian also hurriedly greeted each other for the New Year.

Although Liang Fan was surprised, fortunately he didn't say anything. First of all, the juniors give the elders, and the subordinates give the superiors a hundred years, even if I don't want to save trouble and don't go to your house, I see you say a few auspicious words, I haven't seen you, a first-grade official, give me a five-grade official for a hundred years, if we are brothers in the same year or have a kinship, it's okay, but we have nothing to do with it. If people see it, they don't think about it. Besides, even if you're really busy and dizzy, you can't afford to let those two come to the door and arrest people, right?

Liang Fan knew that he couldn't stay for a long time, so he had to find a chance to walk after a few words of greeting, and the officials stomped their feet and rubbed their hands in the cold outdoors one by one waiting for the emperor to summon them. It's not a dynasty now, and the little researchers of the Academy of Sciences are not qualified to come in, so they can't surround themselves as an idol. made Jiang Tian look a little lonely, so he had to play with footprints on the ground that had just snowed. In fact, he was thinking about Linglong.

It stands to reason that he is the master of Jiang Mansion, no matter whether Linglong has been freed or not, as long as she has been in the Qinglou, then whether she is drunk and disorderly or borrowed wine to spread the wind, even if the overlord asks for Linglong, no one will say a word. Not to mention that he, the prince Taibao, who is from the first grade, is a small person in the market who committed this, and the master who passed the hall will usually match the two to get married, so he doesn't have to worry about it legally. But I really can't think of anything! Could it be that he is really too bad at drinking? But if you say you can't touch anyone, then Youlan will stick to herself every day, why didn't you stop it at that time? Besides, how can you flirt with yourself? When I woke up in the morning, it was obviously the two of them who got into their own bed, which means that in fact, the problem is not strict zhòng to the last step, so which step has it reached?

Jiang Tian was dizzy and dizzy about this matter, and the whole house knew that there were a group of girls waiting for him, and there were many people who wanted to emulate the Qingyou sisters, but he was too busy recently and was often not in the house, so he didn't give these people a chance. But Linglong is definitely not included in these people, even if that girl changes her mind and no longer goes against him, he can't stand watching a brutal young lady dangling in front of him every day. If it weren't for Xiyun's private intercession for her, it would have been impossible for him to pretend to give Xinyue face and promise her to stay in the mansion. As Xi Yun said, her young lady was not like this before, and her personality changed completely after the family had an accident, and from this point of view, Xi Yun was quite sympathetic to her. Jiang Tian also sympathized with her, as a traverser, he knew the cruelty of the Zhulian system, and he also had the heart to let time slowly dilute her hatred, so for things like forming a band to teach music, although he never shirked the trouble, otherwise what would you rely on to divert her attention. It's just that he seems to have done a big mistake this time, and now the other party's grievances are going to be concentrated on himself.

Jiang Tian was still thinking nonsense, the eunuchs over there had already saluted the adults with a smile, and then happily led everyone to prepare to face the king, after all, it was the New Year, everyone was more harmonious than anything else, and now no one cares about bullshit such as hiding knives in the laughter of the eunuchs. Jiang Tian, who had come back to his senses, had no choice but to slowly walk towards the main hall with the flow of people. As soon as Jiang Tian entered, he found that this was not only a New Year's greeting, but a futon and a wine table were set up in the hall according to the rank, and there was a charcoal brazier a few steps behind each seat.

"Master Jiang, take your seat!" A half-male voice came softly.

Jiang Tian raised his eyes and saw that he was not an outsider, and Xizi was looking at himself with a smile: "There are many people today, so the slave and maid will not kowtow to you." ”

Seeing that the other party's voice was not loud, Jiang Tian also knew that there were some things that could not be silenced: "Don't be so polite to your father-in-law, how is the family doing well?" ”

"Drag your blessing, I am willing to buy more white noodles and fatty meat during the New Year, and my younger brothers and sisters will eat a meal with their bellies open!" When it comes to this, Kiko is excited.

This is also a major feature of the new dynasty, generally speaking, if you can stand in front of the emperor, the chances of making extra money will increase exponentially. But not to mention the bloody anti-corruption measures, even if the emperor raises his salary, it is a bit stretched to support a large family like Xiang Xizi. So it was a rare opportunity to go out and pass on the decree, and in the past the officials at least understood this rule, but later the new emperor began to issue orders directly through the guò cabinet, and rarely issued orders unless there were special circumstances. Even if they seize an opportunity, those officials have learned well, and if they can, they will not give it, they will not give less, and they will never give more, and they dare not ask for others. The only exception to the edict to Jiang Tian is that he is the emperor's junior brother. The reward of being an official has come down three times and five times in less than a year, and it is quite generous, even if those who are staring at him know, they dare not say that Lord Jiang is bribing. A few years ago, he went to deliver a decree, and he directly brought back ten taels of silver. This is a barely subsistence family, but it can cost two years of food money.

After Jiang Tian came to his place and sat down cross-legged, he looked at the entire hall, he was just sandwiched between the relatives and officials, obviously lined up according to the grade, as for the current wine table, except for a few colors of melon seeds and dried fruits, there is nothing superfluous, but there is a copper bottle between each table, and there are plum blossoms of different shapes inserted in it, which seems to be used to decorate the venue, Jiang Tian is complaining about Zhang Tao, you have so many copper bottles, you can just go directly to the copper movable type, Save yourself so much trouble.

After a while, the eunuch announced that the emperor had arrived, and the officials who had been laughing just now hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and shouted long live in the order of the previous dynasty. Jiang Tian is also familiar with this process, and on the way here, I heard Wu Yuan say that it was not so troublesome to congratulate the New Year, but later the emperor said that he would invite Wenwu to have a meal for the New Year, and it became like this.

After all the seats were seated, Emperor Zhang Tao glanced at the hall, basically everyone who should have come came, and the store was not too cold because of the large amount of charcoal, and then he saw Jiang Tian who was absent-minded at a glance: "Why does Jiang Aiqing look thoughtful?" ”

Jiang Tian heard the question, so he had to kneel in his place and answer: "Your Majesty, the minister was thinking about the research and development work of the previous year, thinking about how to improve the existing process. ”

Zhang Tao definitely didn't believe this nonsense, but any leader should smile with relief after hearing this answer: "I am very relieved that Qing can be so diligent." But today, I will only talk about festive things, and I will put my work aside for a while. ”

Immediately afterwards, he summed up the governance of the previous year, said some nonsense to encourage everyone, and announced that there were no monarchs and ministers in the hall today, and everyone could speak freely and go home. Then some wine and food were served, and then the whole hall became a bit of a New Year's tea party, the emperor walked down and chatted with the ministers, and the adults did not have to stand up, just sit in the position and talk back, the content of the chat is nothing more than whether the family is healthy recently, whether they have given birth to a son? Did the son give birth to a grandchild? Recently, the weather has been a little cold, and it is snowing during the Spring Festival. In short, you just have to copy this picture back to the New Year's party of some institution in the 21st century, the only thing missing is the talent show.

Jiang Tian looked at some side dishes on the table, peanuts, cold sliced beef, mixed cabbage heart and a plate of jellyfish, plus a small pot of wine with a low degree, could it be said that this is an alternative version of four dishes and one soup? In fact, the time is less than eleven o'clock in the morning, and it seems that I have to make up for it when I go home. Just thinking that Zhang Tao had finished turning Xun Qi's side, he walked in front of Jiang Tian.

"Why don't you eat it? Is it unappetizing? The Emperor stood in front of him with a wine.

Although there is no need to get up and salute, Jiang Tian still hurriedly hugged his fists, but it was a little awkward to look at the positions of the two sides, he sat cross-legged on the futon, the other party stood in front of him, and the height difference between the two made Jiang Tian have to look up as much as he could, thinking that you don't like this condescending feeling so you don't let us get up, right?

His Majesty laughed, the craftsmanship of the imperial chef can turn decay into magic, how can it not be unappetizing. It's just that Wechen is really thinking, with my ability and existing means, I can't continue......"

Jiang Tian is telling the truth, he is not a senior researcher in the first place, and now he relies on the little book knowledge in his memory to support the scene, plus China has no scientific research foundation, so it is difficult to find some talented people. Even if you find it, how can you convince the other party to hand over a secret recipe that is not advanced?

Zhang Tao shook his head: "I really convinced you, Rome was not built in a day, and this industrial revolution was not something that can be understood in a day, today is the first day of the new year, give me something happy." By the way, I heard that you are still not married, do you want me to let the queen choose one for you? ”

Although the officials next to him pretended to be happy with wine, they all listened with their ears, and when they heard that the emperor was going to be a matchmaker, they were all open-minded, and those who had school-age daughters in their families were not unwilling to climb this family business, but because Jiang Tian's status was very embarrassing now, the civil officials deliberately hid, and the relatives looked down on him a little. But if it is the queen who is the matchmaker, he can pretend to be reluctant to look ugly in the face of the heavenly family, reluctantly marry his daughter through the door, and find a place to steal the fun later, even if his camp has poached this prince Taibao.

Jiang Tianyi frowned: "Don't forget, there is still a group of girls you rewarded at home, the Chinese ones have not been solved, and the two Japanese ones are stuffed, how can I have so much money to feed them!" I wanted to give it away according to the maid's wishes, but everyone knew that it was your reward, and no one dared to ask for it. I was going to give them back their freedom and give them a settling-in allowance, but there are a few people who have not left! ”

Zhang Tao laughed when he heard this: "The dignified prince Taibao can't afford to raise a few beautiful maids!" If my Chinese officials can be so honest, why worry about the world...... Forget it, don't worry, I'll help you sell the new printing technology in a few days. ”

Many officials who have a bookstore at home or who have shares in a certain bookstore have thought about it, and this is the time to worry about the king. However, seeing that His Majesty continued to greet him one by one, there was nothing new to say, and many people even ate the dishes in front of them, wondering if today's pilgrimage could be over, and then everyone went home to continue to visit relatives and friends.

After the emperor returned to the dragon chair, he said in a deep voice: "I have eaten the appetizers, and I have also saluted the wine, but today's main course has not been served, I have said it here first, if anyone is not happy today, they are not allowed to go home!" ”

"What's in the back?" Jiang Tian muttered in a low voice: "It won't be four dishes and one soup again, right?" ”

When it was served, everyone was dumbfounded, there was a copper hot pot on each table, and then there was a plate served like flowing water, with sliced meat and various vegetables, and as for the charcoal fire, it was very simple, just pick up a few unburned ones from the charcoal basin behind you and throw them in. It doesn't matter if the Xun Qi is there, they have long been accustomed to the emperor's style, but it is the first time that the civil officials who eat like this are a little uncomfortable, mainly because this way of eating is insulting, and it is also contrary to Confucius's teaching of not getting tired of eating. Jiang Tian looked at it and was happy, this is a large amount of copper, I have worked hard to save a few gears, you are good to use copper in this kind of place, and you also mean that the army gap is too big!

Anyway, since he came, since he was in front of the emperor, the big guy could only shake off his cheeks and eat. This is also a strategy of Zhang Tao, so that those civil officials who are still vacillating can take advantage of this occasion to let go of useless reserves, and if I want to gain a foothold in the court in the future, I have to abandon my original illusions. As for saying that there are really people who can't open their eyes to be hungry, they also have a way to rectify it.

Jiang Tian doesn't know this, the side dish just now must not be full, this will have the opportunity to eat a lot of hesitation, anyway, he hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time, not to mention that the taste of this beef and mutton is much stronger than that imported beef. In short, he shook off his cheeks and opened his back molars, and he ate hard. The people around looked at it, and Xun Qi, including Jiang Tian, was eating one by one, so they couldn't sweep the emperor's interest, don't hesitate to eat! Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall gradually warmed up, the toasting New Year's greetings, the seniors and virtuous brothers were called, and the tea party became a year-end dinner.

At this time, I don't know which one was drunk, so I walked to the middle of the royal road leisurely, and then bowed down prostrately: "Your Majesty...... Majesty, today's wine and food are current, how can it ...... How can there be no poetry? Courage ...... I beg your majesty to write a poem......"
