The two plaques given by the emperor himself are a supreme honor.
Jinshi all have plaques. After all, everyone has the need to honor their ancestors.
However, the difference between the plaques of Jinshi in the Wei Dynasty is huge.
Ordinarily, the top three officials would be together with the Jinshi, and the prefecture and county would engrave it, and send the playing and playing to the Jinshi's home.
It's different for the second-class Jinshi. It's made by the provincial chief envoy and sent by the officials in person.
As for Yijia, naturally the Ministry of Rites sent someone all the way to Sandingjia’s home.
And Xu He...
It turned out to be written by the emperor's internal supervisor, and these words were also personally written by the emperor.
Remarkable.
All the guests were so greedy that they wished they could take Xu He's place on the spot.
The uncle and nephew knelt down to greet the plaque. Xu Pengna quickly asked his servants to take it and carry it into the ancestor worship hall.
Xu Song rarely smiled at eunuch Chen Hong: "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch, let's go to the wing to drink tea first!"
Chen Hong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The feng shui of my hometown is very good. If the elder Ge is good, the number one scholar can also be good. I really envy me!"
Hearing this, Xu Song frowned slightly, what does it mean to envy us?
You are a eunuch, or to put it harshly, you are a slave.
It’s just that the master he follows is special.
But in the final analysis, he is just a servant.
Do you compare our Xu family with you?
What are you envious of? Do you deserve it?
When the people around heard this, they also whispered and laughed.
It is impossible for everyone to point fingers at Chen Hong, but they also know that although this man is also a ceremonial supervisor, his speaking skills are really average.
Chen Hong also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he felt ashamed and angry. He could not stand where he was and left, nor could he stay.
At this moment, Xu He said: "Brother Yaochen, the angel has come by the emperor's order. Please accompany me on my behalf."
He emphasized the word "accompany" a little bit, and Wu Decao, who had long been connected with Xu He, immediately smiled and said: "My father-in-law, please, there are some good refreshments in the east wing, please give me a taste."
When Chen Hong heard this, there happened to be a step. He smiled awkwardly and entered the side room under the guidance of Wu Decao.
As soon as he left, everyone in the courtyard laughed.
Chen Hong felt unhappy when he heard the laughter outside.
"These guys, just because they have two ounces of ink in their stomachs, actually look down on the Sa family!"
At this time, Wu Decao said with a smile: "Eunuch Chen, you are a close friend of the Emperor. You must be able to admire Tianyan every day?"
Chen Hong snorted and said, "That's natural."
Wu Decao sighed: "I really envy my father-in-law. People like us may never see His Majesty in our lives, but whoever is like my father-in-law can see him every day. I really envy you!"
Chen Hong looked away from the supervisor and said with a smile: "The Emperor can be seen by everyone. Not to mention you, there are only a few civil and military officials outside who can see the Emperor."
Wu Decao is sophisticated and knows how to praise people.
Just a few words made Chen Hong happy.
Striking while the iron was hot, he took out a two hundred taels of silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Hong and said: "Eunuch Chen, this is a little thought from my young master!"
"This..." Chen Hong glanced at the banknotes, raised the corner of his left eye slightly, but said displeasedly on his face: "What does your young master mean by this?"
"It's not interesting. Today is the day when the young master is very happy. Since the father-in-law is here, let's be happy together!"
When Chen Hong heard this, he suddenly laughed: "That's right, I'm so happy, so happy!"
"That's right!" Chen Hong suddenly said: "Tell your young master to go to the duty house with Mr. Xu Ge when you have time!"
Wu Decao was confused when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he smiled and said: "Since it is the father-in-law's order, I will definitely bring the message to you!"
Chen Hong shook his head and said seriously: "Isn't this what the Sa family said?"
When Wu Decao heard this, he had no choice but to be solemn again.
…
After finally sending the eunuch away, Xu He and Xu Song happened to come out after paying homage to their ancestors.
After hearing Wu Decao's report, Xu Song stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty is recruiting you to join the palace!"
Xu He smiled and said: "That should be the case. I wonder when is the best time to enter the palace with my uncle?"
"This matter is not urgent. I will give a banquet to the Etiquette Department on the 19th. After the banquet, you will go to Honglu Temple to practice rituals!"
"On the 21st, the number one scholar will be given court uniforms, crowns and ribbons, and Jinshi treasure notes."
"On the 22nd, the number one scholar led all the scholars to express their gratitude."
"On the 23rd, you will lead the Jinshi to the temple of Confucius, the former teacher, to perform the ceremony of releasing vegetables. The Ministry of Rites will also ask the Ministry of Industry to erect a stone inscription at the Imperial College."
"You are very busy these days. Let's wait until you are done with this. Your Majesty naturally knows that you are all socializing during this period, so he didn't expect you to enter the palace so soon!"
As soon as he heard that his schedule was so full, Xu He felt that being the number one pick was a hard job.
At this moment, Xu Peng suddenly came in and said: "Uncle, Mr. Fengfangfeng, the young minister of Taipu Temple, wants to see you!"
After speaking, he glanced at Xu He.
Xu Song frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Invite him in!"
…
"Good nephew, good nephew with a bright voice...Haha, what a blessing, I won the top prize..."
Before anyone from Fengfang could see him, the sound had already reached the hall.
When other officials asked to see them, Xu Song sat still and waited for others to bow before speaking.
But Fengfang was different. Because of the relationship between the two families, it was difficult for Xu Song to take over. He stood up with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Cunli, you are here in person!"
When Fengfang saw Xu Song's politeness, he was even more happy: "What are you talking about, Mr. Ge? It's a big happy event for your family, a big happy event. How can I not come?"
After saying that, he patted Xu He heavily on the shoulder and said: "Liangsheng, yes, yes, my uncle did not misjudge you back then. I knew at a glance that you were a talented person, haha!"
Xu He said: "It was only the gift of books from my uncle that made Xu He what he is today!"
Fengfang just liked Xu He, a boy who spoke nicely and worked well. The more he looked at Xu He, the happier he became.
At this time, he said to Xu He: "Liang Sonar, you all can go out. I have something to discuss with your uncle."
Xu Song was shocked when he heard this. What could he, Fengfang, have to discuss with me?
But when the elder spoke, Xu He and others quickly bowed and retreated.
After the juniors had finished, Fengfang said: "Xiao Shigong, your Xu family has become more and more prosperous since you got the poetry of our Feng family. If Mr. Kui knows that your descendants are striving for success, he will be happy in his heart."
Xu Song smiled and said: "Indeed, it was all thanks to the support of my brother's family back then that our Xu family is where we are today!"
Fengfang smiled and said: "I know that Mr. Xiaoshi is not a person who forgets his roots. In this case, I will only say, do you still remember the engagement between our two families back then?"
Xu Song's expression changed when he heard this: "Brother Cunli, are you talking about the marriage of Ling Qianjin and my nephew Xu Luan?"
"No, no, no, your brother and that Xu Luan regret their marriage! Of course, my Feng family won't..."
Xu Song didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said with a cold face: "Brother Cunli, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
