"I've heard of Third Brother Bai, your cooking skills are outstanding, and the things you make are particularly delicious, if I have the opportunity, I must taste your cooking skills, and it will be worth my meal of 1,000 taels of silver, Third Brother Bai, I will bring you when the time comes."

Bai Zewei nodded and laughed, "Okay!" ”

"Okay, yes, I'm afraid there is no time, the grandmother in the Ming Palace will come, five in a row we have to learn the rules of the palace, after the banquet, we will go back to Nanzhou, if there is a chance, I will feast you in Nanzhou, right?"

Tong Wu opened his mouth and said, Feng Yuchen didn't speak, with a trace of guilt in his eyes, after the fifth queen entered the palace, some things changed.

This night, Xiao Junyi invited guests in the largest restaurant in the capital, several people laughed, talking about what happened in the past six months, Bai Zewei failed in the examination room, but he made a marriage, I heard that it was the daughter of a three-grade family, what is the surname and what is it, Xiao Junyi has been, Tong Wu has forgotten.

Anyway, she won't stay for long, so she doesn't need to remember this.

In the next few days, the grandmother in the palace began to teach everyone the rules of the palace, of course, there were some people who did not participate, such as those who were too late to arrive, and those like Mr. Liu Xuan, because they wanted to talk to Bai Zeyuan, the general of the military department, about the supply of medicine, and did not participate.

Soon, the day of the award came, and the day before the Dragon Boat Festival was the day of the palace banquet, and the emperor invited him to dinner, which was a particularly face-saving thing.

Before the hour in the morning, the carriage in the palace came to pick up people, and this banquet was attended by the emperor and the queen together, so the general merchants are also husband and wife in the same school

Through these two studies, Tong Wu had to admit that there were really many rules in this ancient palace, and it took several procedures just to enter the palace, not to mention what bathing and changing clothes and incense were carried out in advance.

Even Qingxiu and He, who came with them, kept shaking their heads, they couldn't be the maids of big families, and the two of them really didn't understand this doorway.

Entered the head gate, walked through five thresholds to the main gate of the palace, and passed the main gate, it was the Xuanyuan Palace, here is the place where the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor led the hundred officials to deal with official affairs in the early court, bypassed the Xuanhua Gate, and entered the Ziyu Gate, and walked for about two quarters of an hour before arriving at the Imperial Garden.

The people invited to this banquet were merchants who had reached a certain amount of tax and silver in each state, and there were almost 70 couples and more than 100 people in attendance.

This is only on the merchant side, and there are more than 200 people outside the capital, including the ministers of the capital.

In the Baiyan Hall, the position has been set according to the identity of each Rao, as long as you find your own position according to the recommendation of the palace maid.

Feng Yuchen and Tong Wu's position was on the side closest to the aisle in the second row, which happened to be the most visible position for the emperor and queen.

Feng Yuchen frowned when he saw this position, and Tong Wu was also confused: "Has our tax silver reached the top few in the country?" How did we end up here? ”

Turning his head, Xiao Junyi's father, Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, had also arrived, and they were still behind them.

Tong Wu had a split head with the two Ru, and after the two returned the salute, they didn't communicate, and she really couldn't get out of it, otherwise she would have gone to Xiao's house to meet her.

Feng Yuchen looked at the two Rao positions and his face became more and more ugly, he looked at Tong Wu, stretched out his hand, and the two sat down, he knew that this was deliberately arranged by someone.

With such a close distance, I'm afraid I want the emperor to see me, right?

He had heard of his master, and his appearance was somewhat similar to his mother, if the emperor saw it, would he ......

Thinking of that scene, Feng Yuchen's heart jumped violently, although he was not fully prepared, but that person was his father after all!

Yesterday, An Luo asked him for his opinion, if he left the palace today, he didn't plan to stay, and when everything was ready, he would come back to recognize his relatives after he found his tokens.

At that time, An Luo was in a hurry, it was the old man An Guohou who asked him to stay in the capital no matter what this time, but he hadn't thought about it yet, especially Wu, he hadn't found a chance to confess everything to her, and this was eating and sparing the capital, did she really want to stay here?

Today's position, I think An Guohou managed to arrange it, right? Are they so impatient?

Come to think of it, for two years, they have been urging him to enter Beijing, but he has not agreed, if it were not for the emperor's invitation this time, I am afraid he would not have entered Beijing.

It seems that a bloody storm is inevitable.

The banquet entered the preparation stage, and the palace maids lined up to deliver the dishes and fruit wine, and one of the palace maids suddenly put a note on the table when they were delivering fruit.

This table is a table for two people, Tong Wu looked at the palace maid strangely, Feng Yuchen had already opened the note, and it was written in between, "Stay in the capital, otherwise I have a way to let you stay." ”

Feng Yuchen looked up at the opposite side, a majestic old man sat in the first row on the left and looked at him, this person was in his seventies, although he had white hair, but his appearance was resolute, his face was stubborn, looking at Feng Yuchen's eyes with a strange feeling, he was Feng Yuchen's grandfather, Anguo Hou Anqing, the general of Anguo.

Tong Wu saw the words on the note and asked in a low voice, "Who?" So arrogant? And why did he let you stay in the capital? ”

Feng Yuchen reached out and grabbed Tong Wu's hand, and without saying a word, he crushed the note.

At the beginning of the banquet, the emperor and the queen appeared, everyone knelt down, the emperor spoke, thanked all the merchants for their contributions to the development of Xuanyuan, and then enjoyed the song and dance performance while eating.

Although this is a banquet, it belongs to the occasion of eating and drinking, but no one here dares to cross the line, when the emperor holds up the wine cup and opens his mouth to "drink", everyone also takes a sip of the wine glass, and when the emperor "eats", everyone also eats a bite.

At other times, everyone sat upright, and no one dared to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Halfway through the song and dance, the old man Hou An of the first row on the opposite side suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to toast these merchants who have developed for our Xuanyuan one by one, I wonder if the emperor can agree?" ”

"Okay, since An Guohou has this Yaxing, let's go quickly, I see that they are indeed restrained, An Guohou quickly and treat everyone here on my behalf, they are also hard."

"Yes!" An Guohou walked out, starting to toast from the first row, one table after another, each table toasted, of course, the meaning was over, if he drank a glass at each table, wouldn't it have been unbearable a long time ago.
