Volume 1 Ascending to the Realm Chapter 26 Another Shura Field
In the Shen Family Chamber......
"Young Master, our guards in the compound have received a letter for you," said one of the guards who came in through the door.
"For me?" Shen Tianlan asked suspiciously after taking the letter.
"Yes, someone threw it in from the outside and was picked up by the brothers patrolling the compound," the guard said.
"Who is it? actually sent a letter in such a strange way, I'm afraid it doesn't have ulterior motives" At this time, there were two people sitting in the main seat in the council hall, one was Shen Tianlan, and the other was Shen Tianlan is father Shen Du.
"I'll open it and see," Shen Tianlan said as she tore open the letter, took out the letter inside, and looked at it......
"Dad, I'm in a hurry to leave immediately!" There was only a short sentence on this paper, but when Shen Tianlan saw the content of this letter, her expression became very serious.
"Huh?! Tianlan ......" Shen Du, who was confused by Shen Tianlan's reaction, wanted to ask a few words, but at this time, Shen Tianlan ignored it completely, rushed out of the compound, and ran outside.
Soon after, the Postman's Square ......
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?!" Shen Tianlan ran into the inner hall of the postman's shop and said urgently.
At the same time, Mo'er, Jiang Hong'er, Xiao Bo, and Jin Mozi were sitting upright at the dining table in the inner hall, eating lunch.
"Brother Jiang, I received your letter and asked me to hurry to the postman's shop, and you didn't let me bring any entourage...... Is something wrong?! Shen Tianlan asked again.
“…… Affair...... Yes, but it may not be as urgent as you think...... I called you over just to let you have a meal with us," Jiang Hong'er said to Shen Tianlan as if the trick had succeeded.
"Huh?! That's it?! Shen Tianlan was a little unresponsive to Jiang Hong'er's words.
"Let's do it, you came just right, the dish was just served" Jiang Hong'er said to Shen Tianlan a little embarrassed.
"The doll of the Shen family, since you are here, sit down, we are all waiting for you now!" Xiao Bo said.
"If you are told to sit down, you will sit down, what are you doing there stupidly? Shen Mutou: "Jin Mozi also hopes that Shen Tianlan will take a seat quickly, so that everyone can eat."
“…… Why is Jin Mutou here? If I had known that he was here, I wouldn't have come," Shen Tianlan shot back.
"What do you say? Obviously, you are wood, obviously you are seventeen or eighteen years old, and you haven't even held a girl's hand, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm wood, but I'm also a person who has been in love, unlike you" Jin Mozi said mockingly.
"You! …… Hum! I'm just very ambitious, and I can't talk to a pig-killing person like you," Shen Tianlan replied sarcastically.
"Who do you say is killing pigs!" Jin Mozi saw that Shen Tianlan said that his work as killing pigs was a pig, and shouted angrily, but on the other hand, Shen Tianlan saw Jin Mozi's angry and corrupt face, and his heart was happy.
"Okay, sit down, let's start eating," Jiang Hong'er interrupted the argument between the two and said.
At the beginning of lunch, everyone was chatting with each other at the dinner table, Shen Tianlan and Jin Mozi were still joking and arguing with each other, and Mo'er, who was sitting next to Jiang Hong'er, was also used to it, one of the ways to communicate with each other.
"Mo'er, I'm going to take you to a place tonight, there is a tail-burning banquet on the west bank of the capital, Jin Mozi, Junior Brother Shen, do you two want to go with me?" Jiang Hong'er asked Jin Mozi and Shen Tianlan.
"Tail Burning? Who's Tail Burning? Jin Mozi asked.
(The so-called "roasted tail banquet" refers to a banquet in which new officials or officials are promoted, and they entertain relatives and friends who come to congratulate them.) )
"The newly appointed servant of the Ministry of Officials, I heard that it was the original Si Feng Si," Jiang Hong'er said.
("Si Feng Division" is one of the subordinate departments of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the matter of adding officials to the knights.) )
"You don't know the new servant, do you? And why go? Jin Mozi asked.
"Well, I don't know, in the past, I wouldn't go to any banquet from anyone other than my grandmother, my father, and my uncle's birthday banquet, but...... This time it's for Mo'er," Jiang Hong'er said.
"The host is...... For Mo'er? Mo'er on the side heard Jiang Hong'er say that she was going to the banquet for herself, and asked a little puzzled.
"Well, for you, you have more than two months to enter the palace with me, in the palace, there are banquets basically every month, all kinds of banquets for court ministers, and banquets for ordinary officials, you can not go, but ...... For example, the birthday banquet of the three kings, my father, my grandmother, and my birthday banquet, as well as the banquet of a few ministers, you must attend, the banquet is a place, the officials in the court will basically come, you and I enter the palace together, there must be a lot of gossip from others, so I hope you can try to get used to the noisy environment of the banquet, and ignore the gossip of others" Jiang Hong'er said seriously to Mo'er.
“…… Yes, banquets are very important occasions for socializing in the palace...... It's also another Shura field, and I heard that there was a general who said the wrong greeting at your father's birthday banquet and was demoted," Jin Mozi said.
"The more powerful people are, the more they care about face, and this kind of occasion is also a manifestation of their status...... Looking at the congratulations from all directions, your vanity should be greatly satisfied! But Miss Mo, you have to be careful, there are all kinds of sinister and cunning people in the palace! Shaw said.
“…… What a hassle for those of you who live in the palace...... I won't go, I hate this kind of place where a group of people get together and talk to each other the most," Jin Mozi refused to go to the banquet and said.
"Hehe, it's best if you don't go, if you go, I don't want to go, Brother Jiang, I'll go with you...... Because I suddenly thought of a person, Jin Killing Pigs! You wait, you won't be able to call me Shen Mutou anymore after today! Shen Tianlan said confidently.
"You're not going to bring a woman with you, are you?! Who the hell would go with you so unsightly? Jin Mozi asked in disbelief.
"Hey, no! Tell! Sue! You! Shen Tianlan said arrogantly.
Just when Jin Mozi and Shen Tianlan were arguing with each other, Mo'er on the opposite side leaned his body against Jiang Hong'er and said softly, "Master...... Mo'er knows...... With the host, the host was under a lot of pressure...... But...... Mo'er won't admit defeat, I think...... Always by the owner's side......"
