"Before you know it, it's already afternoon. Thinking about it, because I watched the marathon, I haven't had lunch until now, and I have really reached the realm of forgetting both things and me!" The emperor was so excited that he actually stood up and ordered: "Spread my will, immediately drive back to the palace, and then set up a banquet in the Wuhua Palace." ”

For the emperor's will, all the civil and military officials obeyed, and the officers and soldiers immediately packed up the tables and chairs and moved them back to the carriage.

However, as a guest, the head of the envoy of the Crow Country discussed with the female translator for a while, and then the female translator said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, we are not very accustomed to the various etiquettes of your palace, so we ask not to enter the palace for banquets, but to go directly back to the Huangka Inn where we stayed, where the accommodation is very free and convenient. ”

"Let you play and set off together, I will have a long journey with you!" After the emperor finished speaking, he took the lead in getting into the carriage in which he was riding.

He Lushi took the male translator who was about to enter the palace for the banquet, plus the men and horses of the envoys of the Crow Kingdom, surrounded by many officers and soldiers, and marched towards the palace in a mighty way.

When everyone entered the palace, it was already the end of the afternoon, and the luncheon in the Wuhua Hall was a dinner party.

Tao Ziyun ate the night banquet, left his other colleagues, and hurried to Ling Rongjin's mansion in the afterglow of dusk.

The janitor of the Ling Mansion was already familiar with Tao Ziyun, and enthusiastically took him to the study where Ling Rongjin was, he handed over the horse to the janitor and walked directly into the study.

Ling Rongjin, who was reading by candlelight, was obviously not very attentive to books at this time, and as soon as Tao Ziyun stepped into the door, he was discovered.

Tao Ziyun found that Ling Rongjin was about to get up and come over to greet him, so he hurriedly stopped him casually: "Lord Ling, you're welcome, they're all old acquaintances, so you don't have to pay attention to so much etiquette." ”

Ling Rongjin sat back on the chair next to his desk. He just pointed to a few chairs next to Tao Ziyun.

Tao Ziyun dragged a chair and sat next to Ling Rongjin before calmly saying to him: "Your irrepressible joy has already told me, your marriage proposal today has been successful." ”

"Miss Ji Gugu's proposal was successful, and I still want to complete the three books and six appointments within half a month. Ling Rongjin said to Tao Ziyun seriously, "But compared to the eldest princess I like, I can catch up with Miss Ji." It's not worth getting carried away. ”

Tao Ziyun kindly reminded Ling Rongjin and said: "You are content! Others say that I married Miss Huang, a famous lady, and it is a blessing for a lifetime." Miss Ji is definitely no worse than Miss Huang!"

"Okay, I'm content. I went to ask for a kiss and saw Miss Ji, a young lady from a big family, who looks so beautiful and knowledgeable, I don't know what will happen in the future, but I still want to express my contentment. Ling Rongjin tried his best to use a calm mentality. Expressing the importance he attaches to Miss Ji.

Tao Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief gently: "Yes, even if you go, you can come." Now to make sure that your marriage is settled, I am relieved of your early friend. ”

"Thank you for your concern. After Ling Rongjin thanked Tao Ziyun. Only then did he take it for granted and asked Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, do you have another meaning when you care so much about my family matter?"

Tao Ziyun said frankly to Ling Rongjin: "Hey, I'll just say it directly." Your future father-in-law, Master Ji, is associated with several important people, and you have climbed into relatives with him. When I deal with you, I can inquire about the news from Master Ji. ”

"Hehe, sure enough, I have ulterior motives, Master Tao is using me!" Ling Rongjin laughed at Tao Ziyun casually, and then said to Tao Ziyun: "However, because we are friends, I am willing to be used by you." You say, how can you help you?"

"Haha! Lord Ling is really righteous!" Tao Ziyun was so satisfied with Ling Rongjin's appearance, he reminded Ling Rongjin and said, "You are not familiar with Ji Mansion now, and when you are familiar with Ji Mansion, I will come with you to approach the people of Ji Mansion and ask them about the news of interest!"

Tao Ziyun said that Ling Rongjin was righteous, which made Ling Rongjin feel ashamed: "In this half a month, I can only practice the etiquette of three books and six appointments." Then, you have to follow the envoys of the Qing Dynasty to the country of crows to observe the crow games. Getting married feels like it's still far away. People who can't get close to Ji Fu naturally with you, I can't help you in the near future!"

"I can't rush it, I don't have to rush for a while, I just have hope and a way. Tao Ziyun comforted and encouraged Ling Rongjin with a relaxed mood: "You can rest assured that you will go to the Crow Country as an envoy, just to watch the ceremony, to appreciate the exotic customs, and after coming back, there must be a good change in your mental state." ”

"I hope it's as you say, haha!" Ling Rongjin laughed happily, as if his mental state had changed for the better now, "You better tell me about it, you followed the emperor to watch the marathon race conducted by those foreigners this morning." ”

Tao Ziyun told Ling Rongjin about the foreigner's demonstration of the marathon tree, and finally he sighed and said: "It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and it is difficult to be a minister by the emperor's side." However, he gave prizes to the top four winners, which made me feel very kind, in addition to rewarding gold and silver, each of them also gave a drum of different sizes, really using the drum to encourage them!"

"This is creativity, let foreigners feel novel, will make foreigners praise the emperor and praise the Qing Dynasty!" Ling Rongjin praised himself, and asked Tao Ziyun again: "Later, what other arrangements does the emperor have?"

Tao Ziyun told Ling Rongjin and said: "Later, at the request of the foreigners, all the members of the foreigners' envoys went to the Huangka Inn for food and lodging. The emperor held a banquet in the Wuhua Hall to entertain other people, no, the luncheon became a dinner party, and I came back from the dinner. Did you have dinner?"

"I also had dinner. There are few people in my house, so dinner is ready at once. I still keep my old habit, as long as there is no urgency, after dinner, I will go to the study to read by candlelight. Ling Rongjin said, which aroused his usual calmness.

"Having said all this, I should also go back to the house, my wife and children at home must be leaning against the door. Tao Ziyun said and got up to say goodbye.

"Okay, I'll send you. Ling Rongjin got up to say goodbye to Tao Ziyun, and also defined Tao Ziyun's visit this time, saying: "You came to tell me so much this time, just to confirm that I succeeded in courting Miss Ji, and then make a verbal agreement with me, so that I can ask the people of Ji Mansion for useful information in the future."
