When Xiao Jiu came back and said that this post man, he didn't do anything else. Zhou Nan said, "I guess I'm here to find out something, so I'll pay attention to it in the future." Xiao Jiu let Zhou Nan sleep, and went out by himself and took turns staring in the dark with a few other Eagle Guards.

  Early the next morning, the supervisor of Du Tingyi led two people in purple official uniforms in, and it seemed that the position was higher than that of Cai Ying and Wu Shi yesterday. The two men were followed by two groups of retinues, each holding a lacquer plate with various ornate utensils on it, and a large gold-painted gift box.

  One of the purple-robed officials took out a red note and read aloud: "Today, there are Liaobang horses and others who come to the pilgrimage to see them, and they are specially given ten catties of dragon and phoenix tea, each catty is combined with gold-plated and silver-plated bamboo, Mingjin multicolored vermilion lacquer box, five catties of dragon tea, and five catties of phoenix tea; Ten bottles of royal almond boiled wine, each with a gold-plated silver-plated vase, and a gold multicolored vermilion lacquer box; 1,000 taels of gold and silverware, 10 pots, 10 pairs of bowls, two pieces each; Don't give Caizhou salvia, Yunzhou ejiao, Guangzhou wood, Qiongzhou agarwood, Yunzhou gastrodia, Qizhou Banxia, Dingzhou wolfberry, Xijing acacia gum, Shouzhou dendrobium, the above medicines, ten doses per medicine. Ming gold multicolored vermilion lacquer box. ”

  Every time I read it, the attendants in the back will pick up a gift box and put it under the corridor. It took me a long time to finish reading, and the corridor was already full of red gift boxes.

  After the reading was completed, after the supervisor of the post house stepped down, one of the middle-aged men with a long figure and fair face said to Zhou Nan, "A certain is the embassy envoy of the horse's trip, the British Gong Cai You, and the word is safe. In the past, I also knew the colt. (Note, Friend.) ）

  Zhou Nan asked strangely, "Young Master Cai is respected and powerful, how can a Yandi Han person in the lower district meet a young master?" ”

  Cai You laughed and said, "The brilliance is led by Tong Xuanfu in front of him, and he is just the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, and he raises the weight of grain and grass, and the horse naturally doesn't know." ”

  Only then did Zhou Nan know that Cai You had been Tong Guan's deputy, and he could be regarded as having a relationship with him, Zhou Nan smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately." ”

  The other official next to Cai You was a man over forty years old, with a graceful demeanor and a handsome appearance, but with a hint of frivolity on his face, he arched his hand and said to Zhou Nan, "No, he is the deputy of the pavilion, and he is the secretary of Shangshu Zuocheng Li Bangyan, the character is beautiful, and he is known as Li Langzi." ”

  Cai You said with a smile on the side: "This is the prodigal son, the prime minister, yes." ”

  Li Bangyan was not ashamed, but said proudly, "See all the flowers in the world, play all the balls in the world, and enjoy the fun of the world." This is the best principle in the world, what is there to hide? Didn't Mr. Cai let the official family enjoy Fengheng Yuda? My generation can't enjoy Fengheng Yuda, only have some fun in flowers and wine. ”

  Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he asked Cai You, "Yesterday, Cai Yan and the British Duke ......"

  Cai You smiled proudly and said, "Yesterday, Cai Bei, the companion envoy, was the fifth brother of a certain family. ”

  Zhou Nan rushed and said, "But the fifth son of the Cai family who married Emperor Maode? Zhou Nan vaguely remembered that Zhao Ji's most beautiful princess, Emperor Maode, Zhao Fujin, was the one who met him at Zhouqiao last night, and should have been married to the fifth son of the powerful minister Cai Jing in history, as for the name of Cai Jing's fifth son, he didn't remember. At the time of the Jingkang Change, Zhao Fujin and this Cai Yan should have been married for several years, but why is Zhao Fujin still in the palace now?

  "Exactly!" Li Bangyan took over and said, "Three years ago, the official family wanted to marry Emperor Maode to Cai Beizhi, but it was a pity that a good thing was disturbed by Mr. Tongling. ”

  "Needless to say, Mr. Psychic stirred it up, marriage is determined by God, how can it be stirred up with a word? Recently, the official family has sent someone to say that they want to let the old minister Yanren go to the palace to propose marriage, and this marriage has become nine points. It's time to make the old thief proud again. Cai You said hatefully.

  Zhou Nan was taken aback, listening to the meaning of Cai You's words, the word thief seemed to be given to his father, how could he be a son of man, but in front of outsiders, scolding his father?

  Li Bangyan saw Zhou Nan's expression, and explained disapprerovingly, "People's fathers and sons are in charge of family affairs, fighting and fighting, and making peace, who can manage it?" ”

  Zhou Nan smiled bitterly when he heard this, he had been in Yandi for a long time, and when he came to this Bianjing City, he really became a hillbilly who had never seen the world. I just met with Zhao Fujin by the river last night, and it was not good to ask Zhao Fujin about his marriage, so Zhou Nan had to ask, "I don't know who Mr. Psychic is?" Can you influence His Majesty the Emperor? ”

  "Hey, it's just a bull-nosed old man who deceived officials and cheated some money." Although Li Bangyan is a ruler, his tone of voice is similar to that of a scoundrel in the market, "Mr. Tongling is Lin Lingsu, and the official family now trusts this person the most, and let him live in the Shangqing Baozi Palace next to the palace, and it is useless to loot." ”

  Cai You said again: "There is one more thing, I want to teach the horse to know that in the afternoon, the official family will summon envoys from all directions in the Zichen Palace, and I will enjoy the lanterns in Xuande Tower tonight." Horses need to be prepared in advance. ”

  Zhou Nan was puzzled and asked, "I also know about appreciating the lanterns, but the third day of Shangyuan has passed, how can I enjoy the lanterns?" Could it be that you just get some lights out in front of this Xuande Building? ”

  Cai You explained, "I don't know what the horse does, the Shangyuan Festival was supposed to be three days, but in case of major events, depending on the wishes of the officials, it can naturally be extended." This is also a precedent, when Emperor Taizu, because of the Southern Dynasty to attach, he ordered the Shangyuan Festival to be extended for three days, and it was dispersed on the 20th day of the first month. This time, the official family gathered in Beijing in order to make the Quartet come and gather in Beijing, which has been extended to this day. Speaking of which, the colt is worthy of being in time. ”

  Although these two people are not very good in character and reputation, it is rare for these two people to know a lot of things, and the most important thing is to dare to say it. The three of them chatted very lively in the room, and they talked for more than half an hour, when a post guard came in outside and said, "The Prime Minister knows that the people from the Sifang Pavilion outside are waiting, and they say that they will finish teaching the etiquette of the audience before noon." At the beginning, I saw the two prime ministers talking in the hall, and I didn't dare to disturb, but now that the time is near, I have no choice but to let the villain come in and report it. ”

  Cai You suddenly said, "I almost missed a big event, so that the two of us will not delay the etiquette of the horse, and when the horse arrives at the court, or when the banquet is drunk, I forget it for a while, and I don't need to care, everything has the two of us to carry the horse." ”

  Zhou Nan hurriedly thanked the two and said goodbye to the two, and several officials from the Sifang Pavilion outside stumbled in.

  Zhou Nan thought it was cumbersome at first, but after the drill, he realized that in fact, the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty was not complicated. Besides, Zhou Nan didn't take these red tapes to heart at all, and he was either holding the job of the Great Song Emperor, so what if he was wrong?

  Besides, Cai You and Li Langzi have been boasting that everything is on the two of them, and the two deputy state-level cadres have spoken, so what else is there to worry about?

  It's just that these two people were so enthusiastic as soon as they came up, and Zhou Nan couldn't help muttering a little in his heart. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
