If it were normal, they would have to come to the yamen in the afternoon to be on duty, but they would not dare to drink at lunch.

But today is different, everyone stayed up for a few days, the tight strings finally loosened, I want to eat and drink, and then go back to rest.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Mingtao walked out while talking and laughing with a room of colleagues.

Last year, he was only a five-grade official, and in the past, he also served as the chief examiner, but he went to other provinces, and this year, he was promoted to a fourth-grade official, so he could serve as the chief examiner of Qiuqiu here in the capital.

When it comes to next year's Chunqiu, it won't be his turn, and the chief examiner of Chunfu will have more than three grades.

But Jiang Mingtao is already very satisfied.

As the chief examiner, he was surrounded by people and walked out of the Hanlin Academy, not to mention how proud he was.

He is now a cabinet attendant of the fourth grade, in terms of talent and knowledge, Jiang Mingtao feels that there are few people in the entire Hanlin Academy who can surpass him.

His teacher was a cabinet scholar, and his father-in-law was a member of the royal family.

In a few years, his position will be able to move up and up in his lifetime...... Maybe you can go to the cabinet like your own teacher.

The more Jiang Mingtao thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he walked a little flutteringly, but as soon as he walked out of the gate of the Hanlin Academy, he saw someone rushing towards him on the opposite side, and he was so frightened that he shouted: "There are assassins!" ”

He is a court official, in broad daylight, someone is rampage towards him, what is it if he is not an assassin?

Could it be Diaomin?

He hasn't offended anyone lately!

As soon as the crowd heard that there was an assassin, they were still able to do it, and they scattered in all directions!

At this time, of course, their own lives are the most important, they are all powerless literati, and they naturally have to hide when they encounter assassins.

Jiang Mingtao's two entourages hurriedly rushed over to protect him, and the guards guarding the gate of the Hanlin Academy also drew their swords and rushed over, so frightened that Jiang Fuyi and Jiang Minghe, who ran over, turned pale and hurriedly stopped.

Jiang Fuyi was just very excited to see his son and wanted to come over and hold his son's hand, but he didn't expect to be regarded as an assassin by him.

"Mingtao, my son, I'm your father!" Jiang Fuyi was angry and anxious: "Mingtao, I haven't seen you for fourteen years, could it be that you don't even know your father anymore?" Keep your eyes open, I'm your father! ”

"Big brother, I'm your second brother, you Minghe." Jiang Minghe was also in a hurry.

It's really scary that the eldest brother actually treats them as assassins and has people hold knives at them.

Jiang Mingtao was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He took a closer look at Jiang Fuyi and Jiang Minghe, although these two were dressed very shabby, and they looked very vicissitudes, they looked like countrymen, but they ...... Indeed, his father and younger brother.

"How did you get here?" Jiang Mingtao was angry and anxious, he only felt that his head was buzzing, and he subconsciously scolded loudly.

This is the gate of the Hanlin Academy, so many colleagues are watching, but his father and younger brother look very poor, it is too embarrassing.

Didn't he have people send five hundred taels of silver back before?

They don't know how to buy some decent clothes to wear, how to look like a refugee?

"Mingtao, don't be angry...... We...... Our family is here to join you. Jiang Fuyi saw that his son was angry, and hurriedly explained.

He wanted to scold him loudly, but when he thought that his son was now an official, he was not the poor boy who studied in Qingya Village in the past, and he couldn't scold the boss like he scolded the second child.

Jiang Mingtao was very angry after hearing his words.

Didn't he send someone to explain to them and tell them not to come to the capital?

As a result, the family was good, and a large family came and blocked him at the gate of the Hanlin Academy.

He disgraced them!

However, filial piety comes first, so many people watched, Jiang Mingtao didn't dare to show his dislike for them, and he was able to hurriedly say: "Father, last time I sent someone to Qingya Village to pick you up from the capital, your old man said that his homeland was difficult to leave, and he didn't want to come, so his son had to leave five hundred taels of silver, but I didn't expect you to come over again, father, and the son was really happy in his heart." ”

Jiang Fuyi was a little dumbfounded, when will his son send someone back to pick them up?

Could it be ...... They just left Qingya Village, so they missed it?

Jiang Mingtao said to his two entourage: "Why don't you hurry up and invite the old lady and the second master back to our house." ”

Jiang Mingtao looked at Jiang Fuyi and them, and said with a forced smile: "Father, Minghe, you go back to the house first, my colleagues and I have lunch, and then go back to accompany my father." ”

As the saying goes, do a full set of plays, as soon as Jiang Mingtao's words fell, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Jiang Fuyi: "Father, my son has asked you for peace!" ”

"Okay, good ......" Jiang Fuyi saw that his son had become a big official, and he kowtowed to his father, and was moved to tears: "My son please get up, my father will go back and wait for you!" ”

Jiang Mingtao was about to say something when he heard this, but the voices of his colleagues came from his ears.

"Master Jiang, the reunion of your father and son is a great joy, let's get together another day."

"Yes, Lord Jiang, it's important to accompany the old lady!"

"It's not easy for the old lady to come to the capital to find relatives thousands of miles away, Lord Jiang still accompanies the old lady, I'll get together another day......"

"Yes, we'll invite the adults to drink another day......"

"It's not bad to go to Cuiweiju for tea......"

Everyone talked nonsense, and they all persuaded Jiang Mingtao to accompany Jiang Fuyi first.

Filial piety comes first, where is the reason to leave the old father behind and accompany the bureaucrats to drink?

Everybody gets it!

Although Jiang Mingtao had a smile on his face, his hands were clenched together, but they were covered by the wide cuffs, and no one could see them.

He deliberately asked people to order two tables of good wine and food at Penglaiju, just to get together with his colleagues and buy people's hearts, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by his father and second brother.

In front of everyone, Jiang Mingtao didn't say much, and after greeting his colleagues, he left with Jiang Fuyi and Jiang Minghe.

As soon as he got into the carriage, as soon as the curtain was lowered, Jiang Mingtao wanted to get angry, but Jiang Fuyi's voice came from his ears.

"Son, your father and I came to stand at the gate of the Hanlin Courtyard early in the morning, one station is more than two hours, not a drop of water has entered, thirsty and hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Jiang Fuyi really couldn't hold it anymore, and said with a weak face.

Jiang Mingtao glanced at him with some disgust and ordered someone to fetch him food.

After arriving at the inn where they were temporarily staying, Jiang Mingtao asked two more carriages to hire and pick everyone up to go to the friend's house.

He didn't want to ride in the same carriage with these people, even if they were his relatives, Jiang Mingtao still felt disgusted, firstly, they were dressed too shabbyly, and secondly, they were ...... There was a strange smell about these people, and he was really not used to it.

After arriving at Penglaiju, Jiang Mingtao immediately ordered someone to serve the food.
