In the early dynasty, on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Jun followed Li Tai to the palace, but one was to enter the Taiji Hall to listen to the court, and the other was to listen to the seal in front of the palace gate with the large army.

Yi Yu knew that the imperial court was long-winded, so he didn't stay idle in the mansion in the morning, but went to the new house he bought yesterday.

The new house must add some new population, she sent someone to Longquan Town yesterday to ask, Xiaoman and Li Le and his wife were willing to come over, and picked a pair of competent stewards who Lu Zhi left in Puzhen Garden, and three or five family members with sharp hands and feet, which can be regarded as the first batch of subordinates in Lu Jun's mansion.

Xiaoman came quickly, packed up her things last night, and arrived in Beijing in the morning, because she was the first maid to wait for the jade, and the jade used her to rest assured, so she explained all the affairs of the new house to her, and left three hundred yuan for her to do, and watched the sun rise, before returning to the palace.

Li Tai and Lu Jun were probably only a quarter and a half before she came back, and as soon as Yi Yu entered the door, she saw the two of them sitting and drinking tea, one host and one guest, and no one cared about anyone, as if they were insulated.

"What's the matter, the emperor has a reward for you?" Li Tai is a habitual pampered person who is not surprised, and Yu Yu went directly to ask Lu Jun.

Lu Jun nodded, his expression a little depressed, "The emperor has appointed the second brother and the third brother to be the head of the guards." ”

Yu Yu looked at Li Tai.

"Five people are a team, there is a captain, five soldiers are a bias, there is a division, two deviations are a team, there is a team, and there is a seven-grade team." Li Tai popularized common sense for her.

"Oh," understood, "what about the second brother?" ”

"I'm the sentry chief."

Yu Yu looked at Li Tai again.

"The two teams are one sentry, and there is a sentry commander, from the sixth grade."

In other words, the son-in-law of the Wei Chi family and the son-in-law of the Liu family are in charge of forty-nine people, and Lu Jun is in charge of ninety-nine people in their two teams, in other words, her second brother is now a centurion.

In a prefecture, there is a brigade commander who leads 500 people above the sentry commander, and a lieutenant who leads a thousand people in a mansion above the brigade commander.

No wonder Lu Jun's face is not good-looking, he has obviously made meritorious contributions, but his official position is only half a level higher than the seventh rank before the march, which is two and a half years away from what Li Tai and she predicted before.

Yi Yu didn't know why it became like this, but he still went to enlighten Lu Jun, who was obviously disappointed, first:

"Does the second brother feel that this official position is not high, and he feels uncomfortable?"

Lu Jun was really unconvinced, so he wondered: "Sister, I don't know, there are two people in the same camp with us, and the credit is not greater than ours, but they are both directly named brigade commanders and lead as many as 500 people." ”

Yi Yu shook his head, "Let's not talk about others first, just talk about yourself, second brother, think about it, if the emperor really promotes you to the third pole, don't you think that you have inherited the shadow of others, whether it is your grandfather's or who's, can you receive it steadily?" ”

Lu Jun clenched his fists, thinking of the great possibility of this, his face changed a little.

Yi Yu didn't wait for him to reply, and said:

"But now, although this military attache position under the sixth rank is not high, who dares to say that it was not won by the second brother. Now you are taking the previous seven products to think it is lower, but you don't want those seven products to fall from the sky and be picked up by you. You just think you are a white ding, jumping from a pawn to the position of this centurion, only after experiencing a victory, or being promoted under the condition of breaking military discipline, does the second brother still think that this position is low? ”

After some persuasion, Lu Jun fell into thought, Li Taishen glanced at Yi Yu, suppressed the words that came to his lips, and decided not to tell them first, this Qin Xun Lingwei was not the ordinary internal army they imagined.

It's not that Lu Jun has been marching for a few months in vain, but it is the doorway here, and only experienced soldiers know that if the military general wants to go up, he has to go through the three guards of the inner house, Xun, and Ling, although the rank of the three guards is low, but the status is very high, he is an ordinary soldier, and he is a person with a family background.

"You're right, I'm in too much of a hurry." Lu Jun had a straight brain and was fast, and in a blink of an eye, he smiled again on his face, and touched his nose embarrassedly.

"It's good that the second brother wants to understand." Seeing that Lu Jun didn't care anymore, Yi Yu's dissatisfaction with the reward for slamming the door in the palace disappeared.

The brother and sister don't know what to do, but Li Tai is the only one who understands, but he wants to sharpen Lu Jun's heart, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and they are stupid.

Before Li Tai was about to go out in the afternoon, Yi Yu remembered to tell Changle about inviting her to enjoy the lanterns.

"Qianxianglou?" Li Tai raised his left hand, so that she could trim the fur trim on his cuffs neatly, "It's the one next to the Dongxing Bridge, it turned out to be a dance workshop, and then it was built into a music hall by the family on the Changle Mansion, and it was good to enjoy the scenery at night in Shangyuan, if you want to go and see it, bring the guards, so as not to be hit." ”

Since Li Tai heard Yi Yu analyze Changle's intentions to run the Wushuang Society, he has "looked at it differently" for this ambitious eldest sister, but if he asks Yu Yu to avoid her, not to mention that he will not give his woman such an idea to avoid trouble, it is a question whether Yu is willing or not.

"Got it, I'll go and see it and come back, take Yihua with me, it'll be fine."

Li Tai got dressed, and drank a pot of tea on the couch with the remaining jade in his arms, and when the time came, he took Ah Sheng out of the door, got into the carriage, and remembered it again, so he went to ask Ah Sheng:

"Yesterday afternoon, did you say that you saw Changle's car in front of the palace gate?"

"If you go back to your master, there is such a thing."

Changle did enter the palace yesterday, but whether she met the emperor or the crown prince who had been particularly peaceful in the past year, Li Tai couldn't say, so he left this matter behind again.

The brother and sister went out of the door at sunset, and Yu Yu first sent Lu Jun to the restaurant, walked from the west of the city to the east of the city, and passed through the small half of the city.

Yi Yu didn't plan to go to the appointment early, so he took Pinghui and Yihua alone, got out of the carriage, wandered along the way, and breathed the outside air.

The spring will be established, the middle of the first month is not cold, and the streets and alleys have the residual temperature of the warm sun, listening to the shouting and noise coming and going, she is in a good mood for no reason.

Migrant workers' skill, not only the things in the serious shop are good, the jade street down, is to find a lot of delicate gadgets, someone home-brewed plum blossom rouge, there are wood carved ornaments, and a few hand-pinched flower face people, not only she likes to see, Yihua has such a calm personality, are driven by Pinghui's chirping to lively, from time to time will be bold to ask a sentence.

"Madame, what is this?"

Yi Yu looked at the appearance of them who wanted to buy but didn't dare to speak, and said kindly:

"We're out for a walk tonight, what we like, just pick and choose and count it in my account."

"Thank you, master."

With Pinghui taking the lead, Yihua also responded respectfully, the former smiled and turned his head to choose the face person, although the latter still did not relax and followed closely by the side of Yiyu, but when he met someone he liked, he dared to look at it twice.

A few days ago, Li Tai spent 50,000 taels to buy a genuine piece of Zhong Xuan for her, and Yu Yu was still distressed about the money for the first two days, but in the end, it was because he didn't take it out of his pocket, and he didn't see a penny and a half less in the palace treasury.

Two days ago, when she sent Lu Dong to talk to Fang Hang about the conflict between Wuliu Pharmacy's business and Kui Xinglou, she settled an account by the way, and came back, three months after the year before and after that, she earned a small sum of two thousand, so she had enough pockets and a fixed source of income, since she didn't use the money from the palace, she should spend it properly, and she couldn't be forced out by the fifty thousand taels to save a little.

It is said that she and Li Tai are also ridiculous, there are only two masters in the huge palace, but when spending money, one uses foreign money, and the other is used to his own private house, and completely treats the income and expenditure in the palace as public access, no more and no less, and no one will think of it first when using money.

I tasted a small piece of persimmon cake with Pinghui's hand, and the sweetness in my mouth was smashed, and I filled a lot of things in my stomach, thinking that it would be okay not to eat at the banquet tonight.

The twilight was late, and they had already circled around the neighborhood and walked to the corner of the square street, and it was very easy to find the sign of "Qianxianglou" in the place where Lu Jun got off the bus in Lunan before.

At the beginning of the lanterns, at this time the street was crowded, and there was no intention of swaying any further, so Yu Yu asked Yu Tong to go back to the carriage and wait for the food and play they bought, only brought Pinghui and Yihua, and showed the banquet stickers to the attendants standing at the door, and were respectfully invited in.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, here is a little similar to a party of the Errong Poetry Society that I once attended in the memory of Yiyu, and the layout is very similar.

The small building has only two floors, but as soon as you enter the door, you can see a large piece of smooth birch floor, and the red Luo window screen hanging everywhere, which reveals the gold here, and a carpet in the hall, except for a few soft couches sporadically visited, the rest is the wine and tea fragrance case, and the soft cushion pillows.

The people who sat on the soft couch were all young ladies with heads and faces in the capital, such as Changle, Linchuan and Changsun Xi, and the others who sat around them were obviously inferior in status, but they were all young women in their teens and twenties, about ten or twenty, some of them were recognized by the jade, and some of them had never met, and there was a group of kneeling maids during the banquet, pouring wine and tea, and arranging chess pieces, with uniform makeup, low eyebrows and respectful eyes.

When Yiyu walked through the front hall and entered the hall, there was a musician playing a song she had never heard before, and a group of women of different colors were talking and laughing, their clothes were bright, and the hairpin rings were golden.

"Look, Princess Wei is not here, who just said that she will not go to the banquet, get up to the palace and smack."

Linchuan laughed coquettishly, pointed around with an orchid finger, the women smiled silently, more than a dozen people, except for Changle, Changsun Xi and her three, all stood up and saluted the jade, and suddenly there was a sound of warbler swallows:

"I've seen Princess Wei."

Yi Yu's eyelids jumped, and he became more and more convinced that this was a Hongmen banquet.
