In the class of the martial arts academy the next day, a new teacher's face appeared, Xiao Zhizhong.

Although Xiao Zhizhong is also a person who has experience as a county lieutenant and an official, in the past, he was facing a group of people who were inferior to him, but now there are children and officials like Cheng Boxian under him, and he is obviously a little nervous. Fortunately, Xue Shao had already greeted Cheng Boxian and the others, saying that sooner or later we would have to leave the Martial Arts Academy, and we had to train a few teachers who could teach on our behalf to continue to support the Academy.

So Xiao Zhizhong's appearance did not cause too much "sensation", which made him calm down a lot.

The class is still very good. With Xue Shao's previous teaching experience and lesson plan handouts as a foundation, Xiao Zhizhong only needs to give full play to it on this basis, and it is not difficult in itself.

After a class, Xiao Zhizhong's underwear was soaked with sweat.

Xue Shaoha's big smile praised him for a while, and let him continue to teach on his behalf in the future. At the same time, Xue Shao asked Li Xianyuan to be Xiao Zhizhong's assistant, and he will continue to expand the team in the future. There are still a lot of things to be taught here in the martial arts academy in the future, everything is difficult at the beginning, everything is slow.

Someone took the burden of the lecturer on his behalf, and Xue Shao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. This is the place to dig the first pot of gold, and you can't just give it up.

At the end of the day's class, Xue Shao found Yuan Wanqing and officially invited him to the Yixin Hall for a banquet tomorrow. At the same time, Wei Yuanzhong and Guo Yuanzhen were also invited, and Xue Chuyu was sent to go out of Lu to formally inform Zuo Fengchenwei's people and Xue Ne. was wronged for a time, Xiao Zhizhong didn't let him go, because the martial arts academy still couldn't suspend classes here, so he let him stay and continue to teach the thirty scholars.

The next morning, as soon as the Xuanwu Gate opened the city gate, Xue Shao went out of the palace first and went straight to his home. The family set up the Furong Garden, and the Yixin Palace was already busy here, and Princess Taiping ordered his henchman Zhu Bajie to preside over the banquet. Zhu Bajie, the inner supervisor, transferred more than 100 eunuchs and palace maids to be "waiters", and the cooks and miscellaneous servants were also ready-made people in the palace.

"Today's sun is shining, Erlang's tail burning banquet, the weather!" Xue Yi is eyebrows and smiles, obviously praising the weather, but actually praising this pomp. Who doesn't want to be an official to talk about pomp and circumstance, and how many people have always been able to run the roasted tail banquet in a place like Furong Garden by a royal person?

Almost just as Xue Yi's words fell, a shocking sound of horns suddenly sounded on the floor of the Yixin Palace, which almost startled Xue Yi and the others.

Everyone climbed the stairway and walked to the front of the hall to see that thirty-six honor guards dressed in red carried eighteen huge golden horns, and they were playing there. This sky-shaking horn is to promote the prestige and joy, and the second is to announce the location of the banquet hall for the guests.

"The prestige of the royal family is really extraordinary!" Xue Yi looked around, and he was quite shocked. Such a standard of honor is really not something that ordinary courtiers can enjoy.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping has arrived!" At the entrance of the hall, the loud announcement of the eunuch suddenly sounded.

Xue Shao and the others were a little surprised, why did Princess Taiping come?

Princess Taiping walked out of the inner hall, and the Xue family hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"You don't have to be polite." Princess Taiping is dressed in a gorgeous golden court dress, the long skirt seems to be more than three meters long, and there are four palace maids behind her, with a jade face and red lips and a shawl, and her body is full of jewels and treasures, as if the spring sun is going to be eclipsed in front of her!

At first glance, seeing Princess Taiping, Xue Yi and his wife were stunned for a long time, and secretly said, what a graceful and luxurious this is!

Xue Shao smiled slightly, Li Zhi is thrifty and Wu Zetian has always admired frugality, and Princess Taiping is affected by him and generally does not like to pay attention to clothing. But if her naturally beautiful face is really dressed up carefully, coupled with her innate incomparable nobility, she is a veritable proud daughter of the sky and the goddess of the city.

In the whole world, no one can match!

"The minister's tail burning banquet, why is His Highness here?" Xue Shao stepped forward and asked.

"What, you're not welcome?" Princess Taiping said with a smile.

"I don't dare." In front of everyone, Xue Shao bowed very carefully and said: "It's just that the tail burning banquet for my kind of micro ministers, not the promotion of the third grade or above, there has never been a precedent for inviting the royal family." ”

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, "There is a precedent for everything, starting with Princess Taiping, how about it?" ”

Xue Yi and the others felt very relieved, although Princess Taiping was about to marry Xue Shao, but without the permission of the two saints, she would not dare to attend a place like the Burning Tail Banquet without permission. This undoubtedly shows the great importance that the royal family attaches to the Xue family, and for the official eunuchs, there is nothing more important than getting the favor of the royal family!

"Gong Xue, the palace has ordered the servants to take care of it day and night, and everything is complete." Princess Taiping stepped forward and said, "I have invited Xue Gongxian and his wife to enter the palace to have a look, but if there is anything wrong, it is better to correct it in time." ”

"Okay, good, His Royal Highness Lao has personally asked to take care of it, the minister and the inner son, I am honestly afraid!" Xue Yi and his wife hurriedly thanked him.

"Duke Xue and Mrs. Xue don't have to be polite, they are all a family!" Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Please! ”

"Your Highness, please!"

Princess Taiping personally accompanied Xue Shao's family to visit and inspect the main hall of the male banquet and the side hall of the female banquet and the rest room of the guests. The chamberlains of the royal family have undergone strict training, and they have been holding all kinds of large-scale banquets in the palace all year round, and they are experienced and shrewd and capable, and each hall is quite well arranged. Even the costumes of the attendants who shuttled through the banquet hall were uniform. Princess Taiping also transferred more than 200 musicians and dancers from the palace workshop, divided into several classes, and will play music and dance in the three halls. Even the personnel responsible for receiving guests, carriages, horses, and welcoming guests are all properly arranged.

Later, Princess Taiping selected from the palace and belonged to her private eighteen stunning maiko to act as "Miss Manners", all dressed in court costumes and stood on both sides of the palace as "welcome", becoming the most beautiful scenery in front of the whole palace.

Xue Yi secretly exclaimed, Erlang's roasted tail banquet was completely arranged according to the standard of the state banquet!!

Xue Shao invited Princess Taiping aside and whispered, "Taiping, it's really hard for you." It's big enough! ”

"Call me what?" Princess Taiping deliberately made a straight face.

Xue Shao smiled, "Okay, Enron!" ”

"I'm too small for this pomp!" Princess Taiping said with a smile, "When your official is promoted to the third rank in the future, I will organize a bigger roasted tail banquet for you, and I will let the Manchu courtiers and royal relatives and nobles come to the banquet!" ”

Xue Shao thought to himself, Princess Taiping was not deliberately extravagant, but to take this opportunity to expand my influence and win over officialdom contacts as much as possible. It's also rare for her to be well-intentioned!

"Thank you!" Xue Shao said sincerely.

"Fool, thank me!" Princess Taiping smiled and said softly: "Between you and me, what is the difference between each other? ”

Xue Shao nodded and smiled.

"By the way, there's something I didn't tell you beforehand, but I did it first." Princess Taiping said, "Yesterday, I personally came to the door to invite Pei Yan to the banquet on your behalf!" ”

"Oh?" Xue Shao was slightly taken aback, "Then Pei Xingjian will come later......"

"Don't worry, there will never be any abruptness." Princess Taiping smiled strangely, and also sold Guanzi. Obviously, she also knows all the things between Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan.

Xue Shao blinked, "Then I'll believe you!" ”

"That's it!" Princess Taiping grinned, quite proud.

A moment later, Zuo Fengchenwei and the people from the Martial Arts Academy became the first guests to come early, and those who had wives also brought their own wives with them. They came early, and it was also meant to be a helper. But when I came to the scene, Princess Taiping sent so many people, where did she still need their help?

So a group of people smiled and said hello to Xue Shao, and signed their names on the guest gift book, offered gifts, and were invited to the side hall to have tea and enjoy singing and dancing.

There were many people who came, but they were all acquaintances, and Xue Shao recognized it at a glance. Yuan Wanqing and the Four Imperial Swords, Guo Yuanzhen, and Wei Yuanzhong of the Martial Arts Academy; Zuo Fengchenwei was led by Li Xiaoyi, and Zhou Jitong and most of the Liupin Qianniu came.

Of course, Li Xiantong and several of his loyal followers did not come. But it doesn't matter anymore.

Xue Shao's personal entourage also came, accompanying Xue Shao to help him receive the guests and do some work.

A moment later, Brother Xue Chuyu came. Xue Rengui has five sons, the eldest son Xue Ne, and Xue Chuyu ranks fifth and is a concubine. Among the five brothers, except for these two who worked in the military, the other three were ordinary scribes who had not established themselves in the capital.

Xue Ne brought his wife with him, and the two brothers presented a gift together, a pair of glazed saddles. Of course, this is not a saddle that is usually used for riding, but a "work of art" that military people love. Although it is not priceless, it is also ingenious.

Xue Nezi said cautiously, in his early thirties, tall and long-haired, and powerful at every step. According to the aesthetics of the current Tang Dynasty, he is a standard heroic and beautiful man, but his expression and temperament are very calm and introverted, and he is quite elegant.

Xue Ne bowed to Princess Taiping and Xue Yi and others one by one, and walked in front of Xue Shao and bowed down, "Cheng Gate Lang Xue Ne, congratulations on Xue Gongzi's promotion!" ”

"Brother Shen Yan doesn't need to be polite." Xue Shao returned the salute and said with a smile: "Since you and I are brothers in our own family, I should have come to visit a long time ago." Unfortunately, he was busy with mundane affairs, so he kept delaying, and it was rude to invite his brother to the banquet until today! ”

"Childe is too polite!" Xue Ne hurriedly said: "Demeng Gongzi did not give up, and took care of and brought my fifth brother to the house, Xue Ne should have come to thank him a long time ago!" In the future, the son has a drive, and my brothers will never give up! ”

"Okay, please rest in the inner hall, and I'll take care of my brother later!" In front of everyone's eyes, Xue Shao only said some polite words.

The Xue Ne brothers were introduced by the chamberlain to the side hall for tea.

Princess Taiping walked to Xue Shao's side and whispered, "You invited Xue Rengui's son to appear in public, do you intend to invite Xue Rengui to come back?" ”

"Tsk!" Xue Shao made a look of surprise and admiration.

"What are you talking about?" Princess Taiping said displeasedly.

"Tsk!"

"Silly, ignore you!" Princess Taiping rolled her eyes and stepped aside.

Xue Shao smiled, Princess Taiping is really smart enough, she can guess if I think about this carefully!.
