Ye Xiaotian was in the Ministry of Rites for three days, earnestly studying the etiquette and honorifics applied when meeting the Son of Heaven, in fact, it was not a full-day practice, there was only one and a half hours of study every day, and the rest of the time was free to use.

Therefore, Ye Xiaotian has done a lot of things in the past three days, it is indispensable to visit relatives and friends, visit neighbors, and it is also essential to throw money everywhere. This is probably a habit of the Chinese people, if they live in a foreign country for many years, most of the people who return to their hometown do so.

They may really mix very little, or they may just slap their swollen faces and become fat, but they all have the idea of "returning home", and they don't want their relatives and friends to look down on themselves, Ye Xiaotian is indeed shaking his hair, and he will naturally not be stingy in this regard, so Ye Xiaotian has become a boy who scatters money!

In fact, it is not easy to study in the Ministry of Rites, because what the Ministry of Rites needs to teach him is not only the etiquette of the monarch, because at the end of the year, the emperor wants to feast the ministers, like Ye Xiaotian, a newly promoted local Tusi, and his subordinates are from the deep mountains, which has the political meaning of "belonging", and it is inevitable to attend the state banquet.

Therefore, if you accept the edict, participate in the state banquet, and meet other important ministers of the court, what etiquette should be, how to talk, and how to salute, Director Tao is meticulous in everything, and he teaches carefully, thanks to Ye Xiaotian's flexible brain and fast comprehension.

After three days, Ye Xiaotian wanted to manage his contacts in the capital, and Director Tao deliberately approached him, and the two became very close friends.

Yan Shiwei hasn't come to Ye's house for the past two days, at that time, he came to his mobile phone to read novels, which one was stronger? It's useless to read the Internet on the mobile phone, as long as Ye Xiaotian is at home, he will take a big bag to visit relatives and friends, and during this period, he also went to worship and sweep the ancestral grave with his father and brother, how can he have the time to entertain him.

On the third day, Yan Shiwei finally came, and Ye Xiaoan hurriedly introduced Ye Xiaotian: "Second brother, this is the eldest brother's friend, Brother Yan Shiwei, in the capital, he has always taken care of his brother!" ”

Ye Xiaotian glanced at Yan Shiwei and arched his hand: "Brother Yan." Where is the height? ”

Ye Xiaoan said hesitantly: "Ah! Brother Yan...... Brother Yan is a businessman, but his business is huge! ”

Ye Xiaoan also knew that his brother was now a big official, and Shangjia was a cheap business, although the big businessman Jia was rich enough to rival the country, and he could already enter and leave the prince's mansion to treat him like a guest, and his real social status was not restricted by the hierarchy set by Taizu, but Yan Shiwei obviously had not reached that level, and he was afraid that the second brother would be disdainful when he heard that he was a businessman, which would inevitably embarrass Yan Shiwei. So it's said to be spit and spit out.

Ye Xiaotian naturally understood his brother's intentions, and as soon as he saw his appearance, he knew what he was worried about, so he didn't need to smile secretly: "It seems that the eldest brother really regards this Mr. Yan as an excellent friend, otherwise he wouldn't worry that I would give him the courage to show him." ”

Of course, Ye Xiaotian would not embarrass his eldest brother, so he politely said to Yan Shiwei: "Thank you Brother Yan for taking care of your brother!" ”

Yan Shiwei had already heard Ye Xiaoan tell him about his brother's identity, and at this time, Yan Shiwei also pretended to be a businessman, and said to Ye Xiaotian with sincere fear: "Push the official...... No, no, no, Master Toast. You're serious, you're serious, Xiao An and I ...... Oh no! Me and ...... The villain and the lord of your mansion have the same temperament, no. Thanks to the lord of your mansion for his love ......"

Yan Shiwei not only pretended to be like him, spoke incoherently, but also stubbornly held back the sweat in his head, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but say, "Don't panic." One is poor and one is cheap, friendship is seeing. You are a great businessman, and my brother is just a jailer in the prison. I climbed you, but I didn't see you disliking, now that my Ye family is lucky, how can I dislike my old friends? ”

Yan Shiwei smiled all over his face, and said continuously: "Yes, yes, my lord, what you said is true." ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "I'm going to enter the palace to see the driver soon, and now I really can't entertain Brother Yan, it's very rude." When I come back from the palace, I will hold a banquet to entertain Brother Yan! ”

Yan Shiwei waved his hand again and again: "Ouch! Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! Adult, you are busy, you are busy! ”

Ye Xiaotian said to his parents, and greeted Yan Shiwei politely before going out, the carriage and horses were already waiting in front of the door, and Ye Xiaotian boarded the car and went to the palace.

Ye Xiaoan waited for his brother to leave, pulled Yan Shiwei into the courtyard, and complained in a low voice: "My brother is going to meet you today, didn't I tell you that I will come tomorrow, how can I introduce you when you are in such a hurry." ”

Yan Shiwei rubbed his hands and smiled: "Didn't I hear that your brother became a big official, and I was nervous, I was afraid that I would miscalculate the day, three days later, or the third day, I really can't get it." It's okay, it's okay, I'll come back tomorrow. By the way, it's okay anyway, why don't we go out and walk around now? ”

Ye Xiaoan thought of the Hatsune girl, as well as the Yuchen girl who had not yet met and heard that she was also carrying a famous weapon, and suddenly felt itchy and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go out for a walk!" ”

He knew that the lady didn't have a good face for this big brother Yan, so he didn't greet his family, so he pulled Yan Shiwei and walked out. Yan Shiwei secretly glanced at him and said, "Although I heard you say it, I really can't believe it when I see your second brother who looks exactly like you, but he is such a big official." ”

Ye Xiaoan smiled: "Don't talk about you, I'm like this too, every morning when I get up, I'm scared." ”

Yan Shivich said: "What are you afraid of? ”

Ye Xiaoan said: "I'm afraid that my second brother will come back, and it is a dream to be the master of toast!" ”

Yan Shiwei also laughed: "How is it possible, your Ye family is really developed now!" In the future, I will rely on you a lot! ”

Ye Xiaoan said: "Yes, yes, I was just a little jailer at the beginning, Brother Yan never disliked me, now that our Ye family is developed, I will never forget Brother Yan, don't worry, you go to Tongren to do business, wrap it up on me, with my second brother taking care of you, it will definitely stand!" ”

Yan Shiwei even thanked him, and pretended to joke: "It doesn't matter if your second brother refuses to help me, if you have a virtuous brother, you will be." Anyway, this toast master of your family is exactly the same as you, when you really need to ask your second brother for help, as long as you change into his clothes and accompany me, who can recognize outsiders? ”

When Ye Xiaoan was in the prison, he once sent a prisoner to the top, because he was in a hurry, the official robe had not been taken off when the person was sent, and he changed his prison uniform and sent it to the cell.

Yan Shiwei didn't say deeply, the coming days are long, and now is not the time, many seeds have to be quietly buried one by one, and then wait for them to sprout one by one......

Ye Xiaotian was not panicked when he went to the palace, he knew very well that an empire was composed of various intertwined power relationships, and any problem in any of them would cause a series of problems, and as the supreme ruler, he would have to worry a lot about it.

Therefore, his return to his hometown will inevitably be able to return with a full load. Although the emperor did not see the Golden Palace for a public reception, indicating that there was still the intention of investigation, the probability of passing guò investigation was at least seventy percent.

And this time when he returned to Beijing, he deliberately pretended to be a nouveau riche, swaggering, and vulgar, if it was a court official, not only would the emperor look at him unpleasantly, but the officials would have already handed in the impeachment of Zhang Xueflakes.

But because he is a local official and a toast master, the result is that the entire court is collectively silent. Because this kind of toast is the qualified toast in the eyes of the emperor and ministers, a toast that can be hereditary and can govern the people under his jurisdiction like the emperor, if he is honest, knowledgeable, erudite, and wise, it is definitely not what the emperor and his ministers are happy to see.

Therefore, his rude appearance of burning buns has added points to the hearts of the emperor and cabinet members, and now he is at least eighty percent sure that he can obtain the imperial seal. However, despite this, when he rushed to the palace city and saw the majestic palace complex that seemed to be a heavenly palace, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and his breath became short.

He grew up in the capital since he was a child, but it was the first time he had seen the palace. Ye Xiaoxia got out of the car, and further on, there was a very vast square, where cars and horses were no longer allowed to move.

He looked back and saw that several carts behind him had stopped, and they were all gifts he had given to the Son of Heaven: Persia, fine glassware from Dashi, deer antler musk, bezoar dog treasure, spices from the Western Regions, mastiff from Qinghai, and so on.

Ye Xiaotian tidied up his clothes, turned his head to look at Li Qiuchi, and saw that Li Qiuchi was even more unbearable than him, standing there with a red face, looking at the golden palace complex with straight eyes.

Seeing that the palace that had been seen high above the heavens suddenly appeared in front of him, the coercion that had accumulated in his heart for a long time could not be eliminated lightly. Maybe the ministers who enter and leave the palace every day to see the palace have long been accustomed to seeing the palace and have no feelings, but who is not shocked when they see him for the first time.

Ye Xiaotian took a long breath, patted his hand lightly on Li Qiuchi's shoulder, and when Li Qiuchi gradually regained his calm, he took a big step and walked forward......

The gift was received by the eunuchs, Li Qiuchi and the guards were blocked outside the palace gate, only Ye Xiaotian was led into the palace by a small eunuch, and Ye Xiaotian had already walked weakly, so he saw the little eunuch stop in front of a palace.

This is the imperial study, where the emperor reviews the chapters every day, and Ye Xiaotian has been waiting here for an hour, and his heels hurt when he stands. Ye Xiaotian changed the center of gravity of his left and right feet from time to time to alleviate the discomfort of his body, and peeked at the little eunuch who led the way and the guards at the door, but saw them standing respectfully, as if carved in stone, for a whole hour, they didn't move.

Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh to himself when he saw it, all skills are practiced, being a slave in the palace also requires skills that no one can't.

Finally, after waiting for another quarter of an hour, a big eunuch finally came out of it, swept down the steps, whisked the dust, and said loudly: "Xuan, Ye Xiaotian, the official of Tongren Mansion, is driving!" ”

Ye Xiaotian suddenly perked up, he had bowed for twenty-four years, whether he could earn a golden job for future generations, it depended on this last trembling! Wanli, I'm coming!
