Just after the hour, the Zhenxi General's Mansion became busy. The people were busy setting up the venue and preparing for the banquet. The officials got up early, dressed up and waited for the banquet to begin.

Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying came to the General's Mansion before the hour, and under the leadership of the housekeeper, the two went to different places.

Although Lou Zaiying said that she was a partial general, to put it bluntly, she was also the protector of the General's Mansion, she changed her armor and took the guards to be responsible for the protection of the General's Mansion.

Zhang Shumo was taken to a courtyard, and the man told Zhang Shumo not to run around, and left on his own. The plaque at the entrance of the courtyard reads the words "Yicao Courtyard", Zhang Shumo pushed the door in, and at this time there were already many people in the courtyard, and they were sitting together in twos and threes, as if they were whispering something.

When everyone saw Zhang Shumo pushing the door in, they couldn't help but look at Zhang Shumo, and an older man got up and asked, "Did Childe come to the wrong place?" This is the Rycho-in, not a place to receive guests. ”

Zhang Shumo hurriedly arched his hand towards the old man: "In the next chapter Shumo, now he is also the council of the General's Mansion, and when we meet for the first time, I also ask my colleagues to take care of it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the yard exploded, and people began to talk about it.

"The general actually let a hairy boy be the talking cao, do you mean that we are not as good as a child?"

"Yesterday, I heard that the general had already decided on the last person to discuss Cao, and I thought that this candidate must be between Lu Lao or Wu Lao, but I didn't expect to let a hairy boy snatch it."

"This child is young, how can He De be this discussion? In my opinion, there must be some background to this son, and the general couldn't wipe off his face so he gave this son a position to discuss Cao. ”

Zhang Shumo didn't expect his words to cause an uproar, just when he was at a loss, three people came out of the north room in the courtyard, led by a white-haired old man, and behind him were two middle-aged men in the prime of life.

The old man came to Zhang Shumo on crutches, looked at it a few times, and then smiled at Zhang Shumo: "The old man is Peng Mao, the dean of the Cao Academy, yesterday the general mentioned that there would be a young man coming, but he didn't expect it to be so young." ”

Zhang Shumo hurriedly gave a big salute to Peng Mao: "The junior Zhang Shumo has seen Mr. Peng, and he didn't know the rules when he first came here, so if there is anything to pay attention to, please ask Mr. Peng for advice." ”

Peng Mao laughed: "There's nothing to point out, we don't have any rules for the Cao Yuan, as long as you do things for the general in a down-to-earth manner." The two behind me are Chen Lin and Qin Sheng, they are also Yicao like you, if you don't understand anything, just ask the two of them. ”

Zhang Shumo hurriedly saluted Chen Lin and Qin Sheng, and the two nodded to him as if they had said hello. Then Peng Mao turned around and walked towards the north house, and Chen Lin followed him and left.

Qin Sheng glanced at Zhang Shumo: "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Zhang Shumo was still a little confused, and couldn't help but ask after Qin Sheng: "Mr. Qin, why don't the gentlemen in the courtyard enter the house?" ”

"They don't qualify! This north house is for Yi Cao to rest, they are just staff, not Yi Cao. The East House is the council chamber, and if everyone needs to discuss something, they go there. Only the Westinghouse is for them to rest, but you can also see that the Westinghouse is as big as the North Room, but there are so many of them, so they simply rest in the courtyard. ”

While talking, the two also entered the north room, it turned out that there was still a room in the north room, Peng Mao went straight into the room to rest, and Chen Lin sat on a chair and read a book.

Qin Sheng chose a place to sit down and patted the chair next to him: "Come and sit, don't be restrained." ”

Zhang Shumo sat aside and continued to ask, "Is there any difference between Cao Cao and his staff?" ”

Chen Lin put down the book in his hand when he heard it: "Of course there is!" According to the official system, there can only be four councilors in the General's Mansion, that is, the four of us. We are serious court officials. But those staff members are different, there are many affairs in the general's mansion, and the four councilors can't be busy at all, so the general has recruited so many staff members to help, but they are still cloth clothes. ”

Zhang Shumo smiled stupidly: "No wonder as soon as I spoke just now, it caused such a big reaction, it turned out that I robbed them of the last position of the caucus." ”

Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice and asked, "Since everyone will be colleagues in the future, then you give us a solid foundation, do you have any backing?" ”

Zhang Shumo thought about it, anyway, in the future, this group of people would definitely find out about what happened in the inn that day, so it was better to take the initiative to explain. So Zhang Shumo told the two of them what happened in the inn that day, and the two looked at each other and felt a little incredible.

Qin Sheng couldn't help but say: "It turned out that it was because of Zhang Xiang's words, you kid really got lucky with shit." ”

Chen Lin squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Shumo: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" There are not a few talented people in this Xu Liang County, why did Zhang Xiang just carry you? You have the same surname as Zhang, shouldn't you be related to Xiangye? ”

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Zhang Shumo's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although the Zhang surname clan in Huaiguo is only a minority, but Chen Lin can deduce a surname alone is really powerful, it seems that he should be more careful in the future, don't reveal his identity.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo made a wry smile: "If you can really get close to Xiangye, will you stay in this northwest border?" I'm afraid that Xiangye also sees that he has the same surname as him, and he has compassion, so he will carry one or two. ”

Qin Sheng patted Zhang Shumo's shoulder: "Xiangye can carry you for a while, but he can't control you for a lifetime, and you have to rely on your own skills here." ”

Not long after, a family member hurriedly came to report that the people on Xiangye's side had been prepared, and Su Han asked everyone to help.

When Peng Mao got the news, he immediately began to arrange manpower, Chen Lin and a few people were responsible for recording the rewards of the imperial court and checking the items, and Qin Sheng was responsible for handing over the rewarded items to the rewarded officials, Zhang Shumo had no experience, so Peng Mao asked him to take two people to take care of these rewards.

Not long after the banquet began, Zhang Lu first recited the emperor's dictation, and then began to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds. This is also the busiest time for the people in the House of Representatives.

Chen Lin wrote down the rewards received by each official one by one, and several other staff members took their subordinates to receive these rewards from Xiangye, and then the rewarded items would be temporarily stored in the side courtyard, and then come to the side courtyard to receive them when the officials left.

Zhang Shumo temporarily guarded these rewards in the side courtyard. Since people are transported in batches, Zhang Shumo divided the yard into several pieces in order to facilitate counting, and put each batch into one piece, so that it is convenient to check the number of items shipped in each batch, and it is convenient to find the items.

The two people who followed Zhang Shumo scoffed at this approach: "Peng Mao just asked us to take care of the items temporarily, and didn't ask us to check the quantity, this kid must be doing this more to show himself." ”
