Chapter 199: Apprenticeship Banquet
With the demise of the Eastern Turks, the Hexi Corridor was once again in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the Silk Road connecting Europe and Asia was finally reopened after more than 500 years.
As the public opinion controller and intelligence leader of Datang, which of the dozens of countries in the Western Regions is not allowed to send spies? There are so many tribes in Tiele, which one must not rebel against the two first? In the past two years, the Western Turks have not been very willing to fight internally, do they have to provoke and provoke? Qin Hao was better, but Ma Zhou and Du He were already tired and lay down.
However, no matter what kind of busyness he becomes, while he is festive, there is one thing that has to be done quickly, that is, the official apprenticeship ceremony between him and Wei Zheng.
Chinese pay attention to a ceremony for everything, and if something big happens to them, they must call all the old and young masters of the whole village to be a witness, otherwise it doesn't count, and the apprentices are no exception, although the relationship between Wei Zheng and Qin Hao is already well known, but it is like the two who got the certificate but did not have a wedding, although they are also a couple, but they always feel that something is almost something.
On this day, Qin Hao got up early, washed his face and brushed his teeth under Fluttershy's service, and shaved the freshly grown on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know if it was a beard or fluff.
Put on a decent Shu brocade Confucian shirt, put on a Su Xiu's flower, bird and landscape robe, with a jade-inlaid wings crown on his head, tiger head sheepskin Qingyun boots on his feet, a belt with gold and jade interlocking around his waist, and an ivory carved fan in his hand.
Now Qin Hao is also a rich man, since it is a ceremony, he doesn't mind making the pomp bigger, although Wei Zheng's house is smaller, but there is no problem with setting up a table of thirty or fifty, the food is bear's paw abalone, the wine is made from aged grapes in the Western Regions, Wei Zheng is poor, these things are prepared by himself.
When I arrived at the Wei Mansion, I met the master and the master, the master Pei smiled and lost her eyes, the first time she saw Qin Hao so pleasing to the eye, and smiled and sealed a red envelope to Qin Hao, although there was only the same money, but it was quite comfortable to touch.
has been busy until noon, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military is almost time to go down, Qin Hao as a disciple as a matter of course stood at the main gate as a welcome, the people who come to congratulate today are naturally indispensable, it has always been poor in making trouble and no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives, one of the master and apprentice is the prime minister of the dynasty, the other is the prince's right-hand man, the first handsome man of the Tang Dynasty, a little bit of relationship, who doesn't want to come to mix faces?
But in fact, most of these people can't even be familiar with their faces, whether they are poor relatives who can't beat them, or petty officials who haven't spoken much below the fifth grade, in fact, they don't even have to see Wei Zheng's face, and they are also entertained by the housekeeper when they enter the door, and it is luck to be able to say a word to Wei Shuyu.
Qin Hao is waiting for the court to get off work at the main gate, and those who can walk through this main gate are all big guys.
After a while, those nobles who didn't go to court arrived first, and the first one to greet them was Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong undoubtedly had a good impression of Qin Hao, although his body was no longer good, but he still patted him on the shoulder with his thick big hand, and he had to say that there was a chance for Qin Hao to go to their house to see the family tree, and maybe the two of them could climb up to a little kinship.
What is more laughable is that the gift given by Qin Qiong is actually a pair of golden maces, not the pair that Li Shimin gave him, but the one he created according to the style and appearance, and now the people and even the grassroots soldiers of the Tang Dynasty think that Qin Qiong is making a double gong, this is naturally Qin Hao's pot, and a pair of golden maces to Qin Hao is also a good fate, Qin Qiong is not in good health, and in the future, for the sake of this pair of gongs, Qin Hao also has to take care of his descendants.
Qin Hao is familiar with those people in the civil official system, but these unworthy nobles are not too familiar, so they were introduced by Qin Qiong one by one, Zhang Liang is a tall and fat man, Duan Zhixuan is a white face with the appearance of a literati, and Hou Junji is very polite to Qin Hao although he is in a high position.
These bigwigs Qin Hao have not had much contact, and they are not very familiar with Wei Zheng, and the gifts they give are not distinctive, even if they are decent, they are quite valuable.
And immediately after Xungui came the emperor's relatives, led by Li Shentong, the highest-ranking prince, a large circle of princes touched Qin Hao's head together, as if touching it could make him grow up.
Li Shentong laughed, the more he looked at Qin Hao, the more satisfied he felt, not to mention how much money Qin Hao helped him make in Luoyang, just said that Qin Hao's relationship with his son was also cordial, and those powerful parties in the imperial family undoubtedly had a good impression of Qin Hao, such as Li Daozong and Chai Shao, if it weren't for Qin Hao this time, Chai Shao would have completely beaten soy sauce when he went on the expedition, so the gifts he gave were also worth a lot of money.
Even those idle princes are a little enthusiastic about Qin Hao, and the high Qin Hao is awkward, you must know that Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong are not short of money at this level, and those princes of the Li family who eat and wait for the fattening pigs to die are really lacking, Qin Hao helps Li Shentong make a lot of money, they all have a mental number, who doesn't want to take this ride.
Qin Hao looked left and looked, he didn't find Li Xiaogong's figure in this group of princes, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and his heart was a little lonely, Li Shentong seemed to know what Qin Hao was thinking, patted Qin Hao's head and whispered: "Good boy, don't worry, your business is the business of my Huai'an Palace, this king will never care, now if it is peaceful today, see how this king can help you achieve good things." ”
Qin Hao was overjoyed, naturally he hurriedly thanked him, this Li Shentong talked about seniority, Li Xiaogong still had to call him uncle, with his help, he had to have some effect, under this joy, Qin Hao looked at the red jade coral sent by Li Shentong was much more pleasing to the eye.
Immediately after the imperial princes, Li Jing and Li Tao actually joined forces, Qin Hao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Li Jing sent Wang Xizhi's words, and listened to Li Jing said: "I think you can write a book like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I think you also know how to use soldiers, I intend to sort out my lifelong experience of using soldiers, write a book of soldiers, if you are interested, you can come to me to learn and learn, the future of my Tang Dynasty, in the future, I still have to rely on you young people." ”
When Qin Hao heard this, the hanging heart was considered to be a stomach, it seems that Li Jing is very clear about his intentions, and he obviously appreciates it, who said that Li Jing is a political idiot? People are old and fine, how can an old man who stands on the wrong side every time, but ends up with a good death, not understand things?
Li Tao is even more interesting, he actually gave him a knife, Qin Hao thought that the Sui and Tang Dynasty heroes said that he would hold his breath and send a whisk or something, and he patted Qin Hao's shoulder for a long time, and the shot hurt, which made Qin Hao look confused, he didn't seem to be so familiar with him, there was no affection between the two.
