When Lu Bu got the news that the emperor was going to summon him personally, he was at Chen Yuniang's residence with Diao Chan, and Tang Xing'er, who had always been outspoken, was also by his side.

Lu Bu came back and did not see Cao Jiangxian.

According to Diao Chan, after Cao Jiangxian recovered from his injury, he hurried back to Qinglian Nunnery.

Lu Bu couldn't guess the purpose of Cao Jiangxian's return, whether he was going to resign to Master Cihui, or whether he had other ideas. However, Lu Bu never asked deeply.

After the messenger told Lu Bu to return to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible, he did not forget to explain that he wanted him to familiarize himself with the court etiquette.

"Brother Lu will definitely get the emperor's reward when he goes to see the emperor tomorrow, if you want me to think about it, as a generation of kings, what kind of treasures will he give Brother Lu? Or, how big an official will he be? Tang Xing'er looked more excited than Lu Bu and Diao Chan, and said with her fingers crossed.

The little girl also congratulated Tang Zhuangshi. Chen Yuniang also said.

"The two girls don't want to say this, the villain is just a martial artist, where can he dare to receive the emperor's reward." Lu Bu said, glancing at Diao Chan.

Diao Chan didn't seem to be as happy as he imagined.

"Sister Mink is worried that after Brother Lu is promoted, he will learn from those bad people to marry three wives and four concubines, thus snubbing my sister?" Tang Xing'er deliberately teased Diao Chan.

"Mrs. Tang is so beautiful, how can Tang Zhuangshi bear to be snubbed?" Chen Yuniang also said.

Diao Chan smiled reluctantly.

"The villain is here just to thank the two girls for taking care of my wife." Lu Bu said, and took out two pieces of silver from his pocket, "This is the gift of the imperial concubine Niangniang who followed Lord Bao to arrest the murderer this time, and I will give it to the two girls today to express my gratitude." ”

"Brother Lu is really powerful, even the emperor's concubine has seen it?" Tang Xing'er said exaggeratedly, and did not forget to reach out and take the silver in her hand, weigh it, and said, "The people in the palace are just different, so generous." ”

Chen Yuniang glanced at Tang Xing'er.

"This is Tang Zhuangshi's reward for helping my father-in-law arrest the murderer, how can I take it for no reason?"

Tang Xing'er stuck out her tongue.

"I just want to see how this royal silver is different from the rest of the world." Tang Xing'er argued.

Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh.

"I think there must be a lot of cumbersome etiquette for entering the palace, Tang Zhuangshi should go back quickly and familiarize himself with it, so as not to make a fool of himself when he enters the palace tomorrow." Chen Yuniang said.

Lu Bu glanced at Diao Chan.

Diao Chan tugged at his sleeve.

The two took their leave.

Not long after the two left, Chen Yuniang left Tang Xing'er alone at home, and she also got into a carriage, avoiding the route taken by Lu Bu and Diao Chan, and came to Kaifeng Mansion before the two.

Not long after, she appeared in the courtyard behind the mansion.

Bao Zheng is waiting here.

"After my father-in-law left, Mrs. Tang and Sister Jiang'er have been living in the mansion, and the little girl and Sister Xing'er have often come to visit, and nothing else has happened for many days." Chen Yuniang said, hesitated again, and seemed to think about whether the following words should be said.

"Anything else, though it doesn't hurt." Bao Zheng saw that Chen Yuniang wanted to speak and stopped, so he said.

"There is another matter, but I don't know if it is related to Mrs. Tang, so I don't dare to say it lightly." Chen Yuniang said.

"But is it about the horse?" Bao Zheng asked.

Chen Yuniang was slightly surprised.

"How could my father-in-law guess?"

"Say it." Bao Zheng urged.

"Three days before my father-in-law returned, a few strangers suddenly went to the teahouse in the high-rise building. These men were a little strange, and when they went, they neither drank tea nor looked for girls, but just sat there, and said things indiscriminately, and went for several days. It seems that he was looking for someone, but he didn't find it. Chen Yuniang said.

"What does this have to do with the Horse Master?" Bao Zheng asked.

"I know one of them." Chen Yuniang continued, "According to him, these people are from the Horse Mansion, and they all work in the Yuchun Mansion on weekdays. ”

"You mean, these people are looking for Mrs. Tang?" Bao Zheng's black eyes rolled a few times under the fat eyelids and asked.

"The little girl didn't dare to ask more." Chen Yuniang said, "Tang Zhuangshi has been a nurse in the teahouse for a few days, and he also knows Mrs. Tang when he hears the shopkeeper, maybe it is the horse master he told him, Mrs. Tang has been to the teahouse before." ”

Bao Zheng nodded.

"What Miss Yu Niang said is that Dong Chun knew that I took Tang Zhuangshi to arrest Yu Lun, and there was only Mrs. Tang alone in the capital, so she sent someone to look for her. Even so, it is necessary to remind Tang Zhuangshi and his wife to pay more attention. ”

"The little girl heard that Princess Changning is extremely ugly and short-tempered, but the master of the horse is a great talent with a splendid chest, so it is not a good match, no wonder the master of the horse wants to mess with flowers and grass outside." Chen Yuniang's things about Dong Chun and Princess Changning are all from people's legends, and it is inevitable that they are biased.

Bao Zheng was amused.

"This official has also seen Princess Changning several times, and she is not as ugly as the legend, Miss Jade Niang must not believe the rumors."

"The little girl also thinks the rumors are exaggerated." Chen Yuniang also said and thought about it, "If the father-in-law has nothing else, the little girl will leave, so as not to be seen by Tang Zhuangshi and his wife." ”

Bao Zheng stood up.

"Miss Jade Niang, this matter must not be told to Tang Zhuangshi, this person is violent and protective of his wife, once he learns about it, he may get into trouble."

"The little girl knows." Chen Yuniang agreed and went out through the back door.

At this time, Diao Chan and Lu Bu had also come to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

"The general will go to meet the emperor tomorrow, which is really not what the concubine wants." Diao Chan didn't express his concerns until this time, "I think that at the beginning, Emperor Xian was coerced by the Taishi Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't call the shots in everything. Later, although Dong Zhuo was killed by the general, but then Li Dao, Guo Yan and other thieves rebelled again, and the concubine almost fell into his hands. When I think about it, I'm still scared. If the general receives the reward this time, won't he be in the whirlpool again? ”

"What the lady is worried about is also what the cloth is worried about." Lu Bu nodded.

"Back then, the generals worshiped General Zuo and Xuzhou Mu, which was not uneventful, but in the end, it was inevitable that they would be buried by the princes fighting for hegemony, and the concubine really didn't want the general to experience this catastrophe again." Speaking of emotion, Diao Chan's beautiful eyes turned out to be tearful.

Lu Bu stopped.

"The lady doesn't need to say anything, the cloth is written down."

Back at the palace, Diao Chan returned to his residence, while Lu Bu stayed behind to familiarize himself with the etiquette in the palace with the two errand officials.

In fact, compared with the Later Han Dynasty, although the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty has changed, many of the etiquettes for meeting the emperor have continued, and it can even be said that there has been no change.

Lu Bu didn't need to be familiar with these people, what he was thinking in his heart was still Diao Chan's words just now.

After being reborn, he was repeatedly used and framed, and the reason was that he was just a small citizen in the market, but he had such a terrifying martial arts.

"Tang Zhuangshi, Master Bao, please go to the lobby." Bao Cai, the only family member of Lord Bao, stood at the door of the lobby and beckoned to Lu Bu.
