Gyeongju City.

Today is December 28th, seeing that the Spring Festival is about to be celebrated, the streets and alleys are lively, and every household has also pasted Spring Festival couplets, and the flavor of the New Year is really getting stronger and stronger.

A carriage came from the street, stopped in front of Wenhou's Mansion, and two people walked down from it, it was Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan.

"This is the Wenhou Mansion that the monarch has rewarded, from now on, this is our new home, and our wedding will be held here, how about it?"

"How many people can live in such a big courtyard!"

Lin Xiaoyan had never seen such a big and delicate house, a look of joy appeared on her little face, and she said with a smile: "The monarch is also very generous, he is so generous when he makes a move, go, take me to see it." ”

"Okay!"

Lu Ming took Lin Xiaoyan into the Wenhou Mansion, and happened to meet the housekeeper Li Yu on the way.

"Master, you're back, this is ......"

"Her name is Lin Xiaoyan and she is my fiancée. Lu Ming said.

"Steward Lee has met Madame. ”

Li Yu immediately saluted, respectful, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Lin Xiaoyan hurriedly returned the gift, and said with a smile: "The housekeeper is polite, and I will ask the housekeeper brother to take care of me in the future." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”

Li Yu said: "The bride of the old man is knowledgeable and gifted, and the old man is really a pair made in heaven, as the so-called ten years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can sleep together, it is really envious of others!"

"I said Brother Li Yu, I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you learn the kung fu of slapping sycophants? Do you want to flatter me?", Lu Ming didn't have a good breath.

"Nothing!"

Li Yu immediately denied it, and then as if he remembered something, he patted his head: "By the way, master, in the past few days of your absence, the house has received several invitations, some from various families, some from official families, and ...... from the Academy of Literature."

"You all invited me to the meeting?"

Lu Ming said helplessly: "I know if you don't say it, but how can I cope with so many literary meetings?"

"Sir, you let me finish my sentence. ”

Li Yu continued: "Chinese New Year's Eve is about to be celebrated, our Beijing Academy of Literature has a Spring Festival literary meeting to be held, the readers in the capital attach great importance to it, there will be many people to participate, but Mr. Fan Guanhai is busy with official affairs and cannot host this Spring Festival literary meeting, so they think of you together." ”

"Think of me...... Are you asking me to preside over the cultural meeting?", Lu Ming asked in surprise.

"Exactly. ”

"This is not a trivial matter! Usually the people who preside over the literary meeting are university scholars or respected elders, and if you invite young people to preside over them, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"

"Master, you are the champion of our Liang country, and you are the state marquis of the state who was personally awarded by the monarch, and once made meritorious contributions to the demon killing with the scholars of Zhenzhou University, and your attainments in poetry and song are extremely high, even some Confucians are ashamed of themselves, looking at Jingzhou City, except for you, who can be the host of the Spring Festival couplet literary meeting?"

"This ......"

Lu Ming thought for a moment, "It seems that there really isn't!"

"That's it!"

Li Yu said: "The Academy of Literature has already sent the gift money of the Wenhui, and I think I will definitely not accept it with the personality of the master, but this is the rule of the Wenhui, and it can't be resisted by others, so I have the cheekiness to accept it temporarily." ”

Lu Ming didn't care and said: "It's okay, the custom of the Wenhui has always been like this, if you want to invite some very important people to attend, you will usually appoint some gift money." ”

Lin Xiaoyan asked, "How much gift money did the Academy of Literature give?"

"One thousand taels. ”

"One thousand taels!"

Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan opened their mouths wide, usually the gift money for the Wenhui is more than ten or twenty taels, if it is to invite a Confucian or a great Confucian, it is only a hundred taels.

However, the Academy of Literature directly stuffed a thousand taels of gift money into Lu Ming, which was simply a necessity to let Lu Ming go, and this gift money was too exaggerated, I am afraid that only the great Confucians of Kong City could enjoy this treatment!

Li Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw the two of them like this, and then realized his gaffe, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "With the master's current literary name, I can afford a thousand taels of gifts, I don't think it's strange, why are the two of you reacting so much?"

"Ahem!"

Lu Ming cleared his throat and asked, "When will the Spring Festival couplets be held?"

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, the detailed time was already written on the invitation. ”

"Okay! You immediately write a letter to the Academy of Literature for me, saying that I will go to the Academy of Literature on time to preside over this year's Spring Festival couplets. ”

"Okay, I'll do it!"

After Li Yu received the order, he saluted the two of them before going to carry out this new task.

"It seems that you, the Wenhou, are quite busy! This should be your first time hosting the Wenhui!", Lin Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"Yes, there is a first time for everything, and it is a challenge for me. ”

Lu Ming said: "Xiaoyan, in the future, this Wenhou Mansion will be handed over to you to take care of, and the people in the mansion are carefully selected by Mr. Yang Xiuyuan, and I am more relieved to have them take care of you." ”

"In addition, although you are the wife of Wenhou Mansion, but after all, we are also from a poor background, and we treat everyone like friends, and it is not easy for everyone to come out, don't you say?"

"Well, whatever you say, I'll listen to you. Lin Xiaoyan said obediently.

"By the way, I'll accompany you to buy a few new clothes in a while, the one on your body is already worn out, Jingzhou City's New Year's Festival is not as casual as Jiang County, we have to follow the local customs." ”

"Okay, then let's buy a few more, you pay!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Soon, Lu Ming settled Lin Xiaoyan and let her take over all the housekeeping of the Wenhou Mansion, and then took her out to buy a few new clothes.

Not to mention, during the holidays, the things bought and sold will be much more expensive than usual, but the things are also excellent.

When the past readers saw Lu Ming coming, they would politely greet him, and Lu Ming would also introduce Lin Xiaoyan to everyone.

Everyone praised them incomparably, saying that Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan were simply talented and beautiful, made in heaven, and praised both of them to the sky.

Lu Ming was thick-skinned, but he didn't think it was anything, after all, it was also a ridicule between acquaintances, and it was not some flattery or anything like that.

But Lin Xiaoyan is a girl after all, she can't stand the praise, and her face is very cute and she blushes all of a sudden, which also makes everyone laugh.

Many scholars warmly invited Lu Ming to dinner, but Lu Ming politely refused, only saying that there were too many things to do, and it was inconvenient to go.

Most people are also polite, if you invite someone like Lu Ming to eat, it is not only a matter of having a bright face, but the key is that you really have to spend a lot of money.

Lu Ming didn't care about himself, after all, he was also from a poor background, but others didn't think so, so he could only be polite.
