Before the team approached the capital, a group of cavalry galloped in. Immediately, an official in a green robe was sitting, and when he saw Li Xiao and his party, he immediately dismounted. shouted at the team: "Which one is the new Chief Mao, Sun Ruyou, the director of the Etiquette Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, to meet you." ”

Mao Wenlong poked his head out of the carriage and immediately surrendered his hands when he saw the two officials.

Although the official uniforms of the two people look like six-grade officials, Mao Wenlong knows the truth that Beijing officials are difficult. Don't dare to snub these people, God knows if these people will soar in the future. In case someone is developed, you will wear small shoes......! The consequences are unpredictable!

"Huh! is not talented Mao Wenlong, dare to ask the two officials. ”

"See Master Mao, Sun Ruyou, the director of the Etiquette Department of the Ministry of Lower Rites."

"The main official and the guest director, Ruan Dacheng, see Lord Mao."

"The two heavenly officials are invited, Mao has just arrived in the capital, and there are still many places that rely on the two adults. Come and see the reward! Mao Wenlong glanced at Li Xiao, and Ai Husheng immediately walked over and handed over two gold bills.

The two of them checked the gold bills in their hands, each of which weighed two or two. Immediately came to the spirit, originally thought that the general soldiers of a place in Liaodong where birds don't didn't have much oil and water. I didn't expect to be so generous. The officials I met before all sent people with 100 taels of silver. This one is gold!

"Thank you! The Ministry of Rites has already arranged a post house for the adults and their attachés, and invited Lord Mao to stay in the post house for two days. After Sun taught the etiquette of the face king, he could go to the palace to face the king. Sun Ruyou bowed down and spoke, with a very respectful attitude. I don't know if it's to give money face, or to give Mao Wenlong face.

"All the support of the adults in Beijing is the responsibility of the lower officials. Please lead your troops into Beijing from Desheng Gate, and Lord Shangshu Zhao is waiting at the official office. Ruan Dacheng also bowed down and said respectfully.

Usually officials like Mao Wenlong enter Beijing, and many people send people to Beijing as early as half a month ago to fight the front station. Where it should be, where it should be spent, where it should be spent, where it should be spent. After the main owner arrived, he played some official power and put on a show. The Beijing officials will give some face to the face of money. Otherwise, if the soft nail hits it, it will also make you lose face.

Where does Mao Wenlong have that strength, and Li Xiao doesn't understand the rules of officialdom. Therefore, no one from Phi Dao came to the front station in advance.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not receive the money, so naturally they refused to buy it. So the two kittens who came to greet Lord Mao were the two kittens, and if it was another important minister of the imperial court, he returned triumphantly. There is a suburban greeting ceremony, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites must lead all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go ten miles out of the city to greet them.

Today's Ministry of Rites Shangshu is also a figure that cannot be provoked, Zhao Nanxing Zhao Lord. is as famous as Zou Yuanbiao and Gu Xiancheng, and belongs to the Donglin Party boss at the ash level.

Mao Wenlong, the so-called chief soldier who can't be beaten with eight poles, is not even a fart in front of others. Lord Zhao really sneezed, and the official hat on Lord Mao's head immediately had wings and didn't know where to fly.

This kind of idol-type character, do you expect him to go ten miles out of the city to meet Mao Wenlong? It's a fantasy! Now the only honor given to Mao Wenlong and Li Xiao is to let them go to Deshengmen.

"The two of you are on the same errand, please ride with Mao. When Wenlong first arrived in the capital, he had to consult with the two of them on a lot of things. Although the money was given, Mao Wenlong's attitude was still very good. He is an old fritter in officialdom, but he is also a newcomer in the officialdom of Beijing.

At present, his life can be divided into two parts, one part is squatting at his hometown in Qiantang, Hangzhou. The other part is to be an official in the Northeast!

The officialdom of the capital has always been an unattainable existence for him. In the past, when I heard about the officialdom in the capital, it was all hearsay. I don't know if it's true or not, it's very fantasy anyway. The stories are more bizarre than the other, and the brain holes written are not so big.

It sounds like not only for drinking, but also for eating.

General Mao is like this, and Li Xiao is even more resting. Although the capital has been here, it is hundreds of years later, and as for the high-level, it has not been touched in two lifetimes. At that time, you could enter the Forbidden City as long as you bought a ticket, and if you dared to break in, it was just a few armed police officers who took you up and detained you for a few days.

You dare to trespass on the Forbidden City these days, and it's not just you. The whole family may not survive!

Therefore, it is necessary to invite the two of you to get on the bus and ask for advice. After all, he is the head of the six products under the Ministry of Rites, and after so many years of mixing Beijing officials, he still knows the driving of the officialdom in the capital. Of course, consultation fees are inevitable.

However, Li Xiao and Mao Wenlong are willing to spend this money.

It turns out! This money! It's not a vain flower!

"How can the subordinate officer be able to ride with the chief soldier. Xiaguan only needs to ride a horse! Sun Ruyou was very polite, it was the first time he had met such a kind general soldier.

Although the practice in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is to use civil law to control the military, there is still a difference between the six-rank official and the general soldier of the town. After all, the gap in the level is there.

The general soldiers of other towns were victorious, and when they saw these two kittens coming to pick them up, they were already angry.

If you have a bigger temper, you will even stop immediately. Stationed on the outskirts of Beijing, waiting for the imperial court to send someone to pick him up. The matter of etiquette is put aside first, Lao Tzu still has to ask for face.

Instead of being angry, the chief soldier invited himself to ride with him. is really a five-good general soldier, if the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are like them, Sun Ruyou and Ruan Dacheng, who are engaged in reception, can be crazy.

"The two are superior, don't be restrained. Li Xiao, please get in the car. Mao Wenlong gave up his hand and took the lead in boarding the carriage.

"Please!" Li Xiao stepped forward and made a gesture of please to the two.

Sun Ruyou and Ruan Dacheng saw that Li Xiao was so young, and they thought he was Mao Wenlong's entourage. After hesitating, he followed Mao Wenlong to board the carriage. What made them worse was that Li Xiao actually followed.

Joke! Lao Tzu spent money, can't you listen to it?

As soon as they entered the carriage, the procession immediately set off. Under the guidance of the people of the Ministry of Rites, I want to open the door of Desheng.

The two sat down, and Li Xiao immediately took out two bags of silver from the carriage. It was respectfully handed to Sun Ruyou and Ruan Dacheng!

Sun Ruyou and Ruan Dacheng excitedly wanted to stand up, and they shook it. Each bag of silver has about thirty taels, and the meeting gift is one gold coin per person. As soon as they got in the car, there was a reward, which made the two of them a little panicked. I don't know what Mao Wenlong wants them to do!

"Don't worry about the two superiors, Wen Long has just arrived in the capital. I don't know much about the things and rules in Beijing.,I hope the two adults will give you a point.。 This silver is just to invite the two of you to eat a bowl of wine. Not a tribute! ”

"Thank you, Lord for your reward!" Sun Ruyou and Ruan Dacheng glanced at each other and accepted the silver almost at the same time.

"Huh! Dare to ask the two superiors, what is the situation in the capital now? ”
