On the way to the polo field, Zhao Ceying had some doubts about the situation he had just seen at Li Hao's brother.

After all, the moment he arrived, there were three or four groups of people visiting one after another, all of them were official files in Bianjing City.

Li Hao almost didn't come out, and in the end, with the help of Zhao Ceying's name, no one dared to stop him, so he got out smoothly.

But it tiring Wei's, after all, as the head of the house, she was in front of the back house when Li Hao had no wife, and she really couldn't avoid it on this occasion, so Li Hao could be grateful.

On the way, Zhao Ceying finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is your house so lively today, the official papers are constantly coming and going, is there something happy to do at home?"

If so, remember to call me, and I'll be happy."

Hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Where did you come from, for me, this is a great hardship.

And today's scene is already small, saying this, I really have to thank you, if you didn't come to Beijing, divert the attention of the people in Beijing.

I'm afraid that there will be many times more people who came today, and I really won't even dare to go home by then."

After hearing this, Zhao Ceying became even more curious, and asked, "Oh, what is that, isn't it that your family still has some rare treasures, which provoked everyone to come and see."

Li Hao reluctantly explained: "Treasure, you look at me like a treasure, these people are here to make me want to see the girl.

Since the last time I rescued the driver, it is estimated that many people think that my family has a great future, so the people who come to my house have begun to flow endlessly.

Some time ago, I didn't go to Yuzhou, so I hid and was quiet.

But as soon as I returned to Beijing this time, these people came to the door again, which was really a headache."

Zhao Ceying listened to these words with joy, and then said: "Among so many people, you don't have any one who is satisfied, as long as you choose a good person, you won't have to worry about it."

Li Hao replied: "How can the right candidate be so easy to find, anyway, before you meet the right one, let's drag it first."

Li Hao wanted to end this topic like this, but he didn't expect Zhao Ceying to suddenly say, "If you really don't have a candidate, it's better to marry my family.

My mother also has one of the youngest sisters, who is about the same age as you, and although she is not very good at knitting, she is better at innocence, so you may wish to consider it.

Or when she comes to Beijing in a while, I'll take you to meet her."

After listening to Zhao Ceying's words, Li Hao looked at him with a frightened face and said, "I treat you as a brother, you actually want me to be your uncle, you are really interesting."

Zhao Ceying naturally didn't understand modern stalks, and replied directly: "If you can, it's naturally a good thing for the two families to get married, if you want, I'll tell my mother sometime."

Li Hao hurriedly said, "Forget it, this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, and I will talk about it later."

But Li Hao didn't mean this, but the more Zhao Ceying thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, and he married Li Hao.

First, Li Hao is close to the official family, and he can use this relationship to make the official family more trusting.

Second, he can use Li Hao's identity to connect with the many nobles behind him, without touching the vigilance of the official family.

There are more benefits for the rest, so Zhao Ceying also made up her mind to talk about this matter to her parents. ….

Of course, Li Hao still didn't know all about all this, and deliberately changed the topic and talked to Zhao Ceying about some old things in Bianjing.

In the chat, the two soon arrived at the court, Li Hao took a general look, not much changed from before, after putting the horse away, Li Hao was going to lead Zhao Ceying in.

Although there is a staff member at the door to guard him, in the face of Li Hao's boss, of course, no one will stop him, and he even has to send someone as a guide to introduce where the game is going on now.

After listening to the introduction, Li Hao understood that the schedule was now halfway through, but he stopped for a few days because he wanted to hold a polo match for Queen Cao.

Now, in order to speed up the progress, the polo and kemari matches are already being played simultaneously.

After understanding the general situation, Li Hao asked Yang Wenyuan's location clearly, and let people go down.

Then he said to Zhao Ceying, who was watching the game on both sides: How is it, is the game good?"

Zhao Ceying replied: "How can I say it, at least technically, Bianjing's level is much stronger than that of Yuzhou, and it is indeed very exciting."

Li Hao explained: "There are too many children of eunuchs in Bianjing City, and they like to study these when they have nothing to do, and it is normal for them to have a higher level.

By the way, are you here to watch the game, or are you coming with me, I'm going to go over there and find someone.

After all, the game here was supposed to be in charge of me, but I went to Yuzhou in the middle, and this side was handed over to Yang Wenyuan, the son of Ling Guogong.

Now I'll have to go to him and ask about the situation, and if you want to watch the game, you can watch it here first, and I'll come back to you when I'm done."

After hearing this, Zhao Ceying naturally chose to be with Li Hao, compared to having a good relationship with the nobles of Bianjing, the victory or defeat of a game is extremely unimportant.

Hearing Zhao Ceying's answer, Li Hao took him to Yang Wenyuan, but as soon as he arrived, he found that Zhang Wen, Li Yixing, and Yuan Wenshao were all there.

Seeing that Li Hao didn't react to the others, but when he saw Yuan Wenshao, Li Hao immediately thought of what the stone said, and was ready to teach a lesson.

But looking at Zhao Ceying next to him, Li Hao still held back, so as not to let Zhao Ceying bring up the old matter again.

After holding back, Li Hao took Zhao Ceying in and introduced Zhao Ceying to everyone first, after all, many people may know him, but they have never met.

Then Li Hao introduced these people to Zhao Ceying one by one, waiting for everyone to get to know each other.

Li Hao teased Zhang Wen and said, "You have just been married for a few days, and the newlywed Yan'er is not living at home, how can you still have time to come here to watch the game."

Zhang Wen said, "I can't stay at home every day when I get married, so I came here today to see if there is anything I need help with.

And on the day I got married, you, the matchmaker, didn't come in person, so I can't say it."

Hearing this, Zhao Ceying was curious, and didn't know how Li Hao became a matchmaker, so he asked Li Yixing next to him.

Li Yixing and Zhao Ceying told the story.

At this time, Li Hao was still defending: "I am on official business, what can I do, and I didn't go, but I sent the congratulatory gift, what are you not satisfied with."

If there is, then you can return the congratulatory gift I gave you." ….

Hearing this, Zhang Wen said, "That's impossible, if you enter my house and get something, you can get it back."

Forget it, I'll forgive you for this."

This sudden confession suddenly made everyone next to him laugh.

After laughing, everyone and Zhao Ceying also began to get acquainted, so Li Hao asked Zhang Wen and Li Yixing to accompany him to the field to have a look.

Everyone also understood that Li Hao and Yang Wenyuan had something to talk about, and Zhao Ceying and Zhang Wen also wanted to get acquainted with each other, so they consciously left together.

Then Li Hao asked, "During the time I left Beijing, did anything happen in Bianjing City?"

Li Hao also wanted to see if there was any news that he had missed, after all, some news was relatively private and could not be heard ordinarily.

But among the nobles, the news has always been well-informed, and it is good to see the overall situation if you ask clearly.

And Yang Wenyuan also understood what Li Hao meant after hearing this, so he said: "If you want to talk about things, nothing big happened in Bianjing City, and the only thing worth being happy about should be the matter of the Gu family's four bedrooms and five rooms."

After hearing this, Li Hao was puzzled, the Gu family died three eldest ladies at once, and at this time, even the filial piety period has not passed, what can happen.

So he asked curiously, "What happened to the Gu family?"

Yang Wenyuan explained: "Isn't the filial piety period of the Gu family not over yet, it stands to reason that like Gu Tingye, they should keep their filial piety at home and not go out to drink and have fun.

But I didn't expect that Gu Tingbing and Gu Tingdi, the two brothers of the Gu family's four bedrooms and five rooms, would stay in the Qinglou at this time and have a hangover prostitute.

Originally, if this matter was not publicized, it would be fine, but I don't know for some reason, this incident happened.

while

However, they were not caught on the spot, in fact, they had to bite them to death and deny them, maybe they would be fine.

But the two of them didn't know what they thought, maybe they were used to planting falsehoods, and they still wanted to plant things on Gu Tingye.

As a result, Gu Tingye has never come out of the mansion during this time, and Ning Yuanhou also knows this, so he naturally doesn't believe it.

Originally, according to Ning Yuanhou's intentions, he planned to suppress the matter, but Gu Tingye was splashed with dirty water out of thin air, so he naturally refused to agree.

So he insisted on finding out about this matter, and then Marquis Ning Yuan didn't insist too much, so he agreed, and then ordered someone to investigate, and found both of them.

After finding out clearly, Marquis Ning Yuan had already planned to open an ancestral hall to punish the two of them, but who let these two eldest ladies be sealed for their merits.

As a result, this matter was not concealed, and it reached the ears of the officials, so they sent someone to verify it again.

After this verification, a lot of old accounts between the two of them were revealed, and Gu Tingye was unexpectedly washed away a lot of grievances.

It also made the official family unhappy, so not only did they beat them, but also took away the shadow seal that the two of them had just arrived, and it is estimated that they will not be able to go on a career in the future.

Just because of this, the Gu family is still making trouble, I heard that their family has four bedrooms and five bedrooms, and they have to ask Ning Yuanhou for an explanation."

Li Hao is not very concerned about the changes in the Gu family, after all, as soon as the eldest lady of Xiao Qin dies, there is no reliable one among the rest except Gu Tingyu.

And Gu Tingyu's body also determines that he can't afford to make any waves, so Li Hao doesn't care about other people. ….

But after listening to it like this, Li Hao still noticed that something was wrong, and there seemed to be one person missing, so he asked, "How did you know so clearly about the Gu family's affairs?"

And are there only Gu Tingshan and Gu Tingdi among them? Gu Tingwei, who has always liked to look for flowers and ask willows, was not involved."

Yang Wenyuan replied, "I heard about it last time I went to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and I don't know the specific process.

However, since the official family sent someone to check, and there was no mention of Gu Tingwei, then I guess I didn't participate.

And it's strange to say, Marquis Ning Yuan has never believed in Gu Tingye, and this time he actually wants to maintain his reputation, which is really strange."

Li Hao explained: "This is not quite normal, now the situation is different from before, after all, Gu Tingye has already entered the imperial court, and he is respected by the official family.

And Gu Tingyu is not in good health, Gu Tingwei is not angry, and in the future, the honor and disgrace of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion will probably fall on Gu Tingye, and Marquis Ningyuan will naturally not let others tarnish Gu Tingye's reputation.

And without the provocation of Xiao Qin's eldest lady, as long as Ning Yuanhou is not impulsive, many mistakes and omissions can naturally be seen."

After chatting about this, Li Hao asked about the queen's polo match again: "The queen's polo match went smoothly, and there were no problems in the middle."

Yang Wenyuan replied: "No, it's pretty good, you don't know how many official files came here at that time, and the scene was very lively.

I heard that on that day, it became several pairs, just for this, I heard that Queen Cao intends to hold one every year.

It's just that we were so miserable that we stopped the game for a few days, and if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have to rush so much now."

Li Hao then asked, "Is that time sure it's too late?" It's hard to put off until the next year."

Yang Wenyuan said: "It's already a daily morning and afternoon competition, and it's no problem if it's planned."

For Yang Wenyuan's words, Li Hao was naturally relieved, and Yang Wenyuan was doing it well, so Li Hao was not involved.

Later, Li Hao discussed with Yang Wenyuan about the front division of the lower hall, and after the two finished talking, today's game was almost over.

After watching the game, except for Yang Wenyuan, who was still busy with the court arrangements, the rest went to eat and drink with Li Hao and Zhao Ceying.

In the days to come, Li Hao led Zhao Ceying around in his spare time, and introduced his people to Zhao Ceying by the way.

And this is a good thing for both parties, so let's

Zhao Ceying began to establish contact with Xungui, and at the same time, it could also make the people on Li Hao's side come out on top in the future changes.

At the same time, it can also indirectly allow Li Hao to gather a force, which can be said to be beneficial to all three sides.

It was also when Li Hao was busy with the relationship that the competition finally ended successfully a year ago, and the official family also rewarded the winner of the competition according to his words.

As a result of the game, the top three on Keju's side were all rounded by the noble family, and the noble family of the polo match also won the first place.

But the second and third places in the polo tournament were won by the civilian family, which can be regarded as a great joy, and with this foundation, the next competition will be better formed. ….

Of course, among them, there are more disappointed people.

Compared with the Sheng family and the Liang family, Liang Han and Sheng Changfeng all signed up, but the result was that the two only got the opportunity to travel one round, and they were eliminated early before they even turned up the waves.

And with the end of the competition, the year is almost over.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, most of the yamen began to seal, and all the officials could take a holiday to prepare for the New Year.

Of course, Li Hao is not among them, because the Zhengdan Dynasty will be held soon, and the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival will be held later.

Whether it was the arrangement of the guards in the palace or the arrangement of the front division of the palace in Bianjing, Li Hao couldn't rest for the time being.

It's busier than because the time is approaching.

After all, there were many foreign countries who came to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting this time, and the Liao State sent envoys to be arranged by Honglu Temple in Dutingyi. The envoys of the Western Xia were placed in the Duting Xiyi, Goryeo was in the Tongwen Hall in Anzhou Lane outside the Liangmen, Hui and Khotan were in the Protocol House, and the Three Buddhas, Zhenla, Dali, Dashi and other Tibetan countries were in the Zhanyun Pavilion or Huaiyuanyi.

However, it can be said that Zhao Zhen has a good reputation and high prestige, and the envoys from various countries have arrived early.

And in this critical period, maintaining the stability of Bianjing City has become the top priority, so Li Hao can only be busy in the dark.

In addition, in addition to being busy with his own work, Li Hao also had to be busy learning the etiquette of the Zhengdan Dynasty with the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Because every year on the first day, the first day of May, and the winter solstice, the three great court meetings will require the hundred officials in Beijing to wear court clothes to participate, and because of its solemn nature, the etiquette stipulated is extremely cumbersome.

Li Hao didn't participate in the previous few times for various reasons, but this time he couldn't run away.

So for a newcomer like Li Hao, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to give special guidance, of course, obviously the guidance effect was not significant, and in the end, Li Hao only remembered a rough idea.

Fortunately, Li Hao's position in this shift is not prominent, and when the time comes, just follow the people in front and behind to draw the gourd in the same way.

Until the eve of the New Year's Day, Li Hao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

On the first day of the new year, Li Hao changed into the luxurious court clothes that had been prepared, and rushed out of his home to Xuande before dawn.

Then under the guidance of the officials of the Rite Academy, he found his position, and at this time Li Hao found that his ranking was no longer low, at least Sheng Hong could only be behind him now, and there were still many people in between.

Looking a little further behind, behind the many officials, there are all the people in the city of Tokyo, and this time they are also going to represent the world class to participate in the grand court meeting, highlighting the status of the world.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites in the middle kept shuttling among them, inspecting the etiquette norms of the people, and not losing their manners in front of the palace.

As for the foreign domains, they were led by the Li Fan Yuan to wait on the side, and after Li Hao and them finished their salutes, they would then enter the palace to offer gifts.

When it was time to arrive, the officials of the Ministry of Rites repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, so they also entered the class and stood up, waiting for the bell in the Xuande Gate to ring, and the internal officials came out to lead the officials outside into the palace until the Daqing Palace.

Entering the Daqing Hall this time, the feeling for Li Hao was very different.

I only feel that the Daqing Hall is particularly majestic at this time, and there are four tall and mighty Zhendian generals standing in the four corners, and Zhao Zhen is sitting on the throne, dressed gorgeously and dignifiedly, although the wide robe and big sleeves are large, they are extremely fit, not only showing the majesty of the heavenly family, but also like a high god.

Outside the palace, Li Hao, a hundred civil and military officials, plus the royal family and nobles, wore crowns

The court clothes, standing silently,

After the salute of a group of Bianjing officials, there were envoys from all over the country, and they all came to congratulate the Great Song Dynasty on the New Year's Day, waiting for them to offer tribute.

Behind is the envoys from all over the world who came to congratulate the upper hall, in the loud call of the inner servants, including Liao, Western Xia, Goryeo, Hui, Khotan, Dali, and Dashi one by one to offer gifts.

Among them, the most surprising thing for Li Hao is that even the Arabs who are thousands of miles away come to pay tribute, although this scene is not as good as the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it can also reflect the majesty of the Celestial Empire!

Moreover, this also shows that the current Great Song Dynasty has not been cut off from the Western world, and a large section of the Silk Road in the northwest is still partially retained within the rule of the Great Song Dynasty......

In Li Hao's view, everything in front of him is so singing and dancing, all are so dignified and grand, and in this festive and peaceful atmosphere, the new year has begun.

From knowledge to strength
