Yu Lu was thinking about it. The sky was getting darker and the snowflakes were getting bigger. Some people couldn't stand it anymore. One person said: "Look at this, I still have some time to pay my respects to my grandson. Why don't you and I find a wine shop?" Let’s have a few drinks to beat the cold.”
It refers to the restaurant further away. The hall is brightly lit, and there are seven or eight guests, some eating, some drinking and chatting.
Another person shook his head: "It's okay to buy some wine and cooked vegetables, but if you drink in a wine shop, if the master comes out and sees no one, he will be in trouble immediately."
"That's right. Then sell some wine and buy some pig head meat."
These two people seemed to be servants of the bullock cart. When they were about to go, Yu Lu quickly called out: "You two, who is the great grandson you are talking about? Isn't this the Prince Dai's Mansion?"
Hearing the call, the two of them squinted at Yu Lu and saw that he was wearing a cotton robe that was 80% new and the sewing work was quite fine. Judging from his temperament, he was most likely to be a candidate for the examination.
Although my master is a fourth-grade official, he is not willing to offend a judge at will. The two were surprised, then quickly understood and smiled: "Are you two officials rushing to the capital? No wonder you don't know."
"It is the emperor who conferred the title of grandson on the prince, and the prince is the prince's son. As expected, the old man is still his closest grandson, so all the nobles came to celebrate."
"It will take a few days for the two of you to hand over the clearing papers."
"The acting king has become a grandson?"
Fang Xi stood a few steps away from the steps and listened more clearly, with a look of shock on her face. Yu Lu reacted quickly and took out a small piece of silver: "Thank you both for telling me."
After the two of them left, Fang Xi murmured: "Cousin, did you... did you hear that? They said... they said... it was the grandson!"
"They said, Su... no, Dai Wang, it was Dai Wang who was named grandson!"
"How can this be?"
Yu Lu's first reaction was that both of them heard wrongly.
How is this possible? That's my grandson, grandson!
Not the emperor's grandson, but the great grandson!
How long did it take for Dai Wang to be recognized as his ancestor? He only jumped three levels in one year, and now he has been granted the title of grandson?
Yu Lu didn't dare to believe it, so he walked a few steps down the steps and arrived at another bullock cart. Such a big event must have been discussed, and he could hear the content of the discussion more clearly.
"...Now that the acting king has been granted the title of grandson, he will become the crown prince in the future. This is different from the past."
"Yes, that is the crown prince, the future prince of hundreds of millions of people in the world. I don't know if our master will be able to see his grandson this time."
Was Dai Wang Ju really granted the title of grandson?
Yu Lu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and an indescribable complex emotion spread in his chest.
He turned his head and saw Fang Xi who was getting excited. He also saw himself blushing in Fang Xi's eyes.
A former good friend has become a prince of a country. It would be false to say that I am not excited about this!
The excitement was quickly overshadowed by regret.
"If I had known that King Dai had been granted the title of grandson, I shouldn't have come here in a hurry this time!" Yu Lu said angrily, "And I shouldn't have handed in the post now."
I regretted coming here before, but this time I regretted coming too hastily and recklessly.
Now the acting king is no longer the acting king, but the grandson.
When they were kings, the gap between them was huge, and now they are even more different from each other. It is rude to come here so rashly without talking about seeing or not seeing each other.
He wanted to leave, but he had already asked someone to report him in. Only now did he know the reason for the hesitant look on the soldier's face just now.
Yu Lu was a little anxious and walked a few steps in place, then forced herself to suppress the emotion.
Fang Xi's idea is much simpler. He thinks this is a good thing. Being an official is not just asking for fame. He has a close relationship with his grandson. Not to mention that he will definitely win the Jinshi. Even if he doesn't win, he will still be an official in the county and province.
What's there to be anxious about?
Of course, there is some uneasiness. This news was so sudden that even a big-hearted person like myself couldn't bear it.
Just when Yu Lu was hesitant to go back, someone strode out from inside, stepped out of the side door, and smiled at the two of them: "Two, long time no see."
"Ah, it's Master Hui Dao!" Fang Xi once received help from Master Hui Dao. When he saw this familiar face, he immediately greeted him happily.
Yu Lu was relieved when he saw that the person coming out was an acquaintance.
But he was also a little curious. Didn't Master Huidao go to Yunyou? Why did he suddenly appear in the Prince Dai's Mansion and come out at this moment? Could it be that he came to greet him?
"I have met the real person Huidao." Yu Lu thought to himself and bowed his hands.
Huidao smiled and said, "There is no need to be polite. The grandson heard the news and specially sent Pindao to greet him. This is not the place to talk. Please come with Pindao."
With that said, he motioned for the two of them to come in.
The place where they stood was actually quite eye-catching. After all, everything related to King Dai was attracting attention. Every door had people staring at it.
Originally, the two of them were standing outside the door, and others would not take them seriously if they saw them. But now they saw a person coming out of Prince Dai's palace and actually invited the two of them in.
This time, there was a small commotion immediately.
Someone came over and tried to enter from here, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Why can they pass?" someone asked politely.
But such a question obviously could not be answered, and the person who was stopped could only go back angrily, guessing about the identity of the two people.
The servants were all kept outside, and only two came in. This seemed normal to Yu Lu and Fang Xi.
With the status of two ministers, when the king has become the grandson, he can be brought in and willing to see him. This is because the grandson deeply misses his old feelings.
After all, the monarch and his subjects are different, and their status is even more disparate.
"It's really different."
In fact, I came here once last time when I was acting as the Duke. Maybe it was psychological. This time I came in, it was very different. I saw that I was walking along the corridor. Every ten steps, there was a palace guard. They all stood upright with their swords pressed. Do not look evilly.
Many people came and went, their steps were gentle, and they were very solemn and majestic.
Where have the two of them seen this scene before? When Yu Lu and Fang Xi went inside, they had already spent some time cultivating their energy and managed to stay calm. They felt countless eyes falling on them.
Yu Lu couldn't help but suspect that in addition to these people on the surface, there might also be people secretly protecting the mansion and the grandson's family.
Not only were these people closely guarded, Yu Lu turned around and saw several officials standing under the eaves. One of them was a fourth-grade official in his sixties with a white beard. He seemed to be old and frail. He waited again. For a while, my lips were a little blue from the cold.
And there is a warm hall inside, which is full of high-ranking officials of third grade or above, more than five by visual inspection!
These officials usually have stewards with them, and not far away are servants, carrying boxes one by one to the courtyard. There is a sound coming from someone who is counting the gifts in the warehouse. Needless to say, these are all guests. Gifts sent.
This number is truly astonishing!
Just from the number we see now, we can’t count how many boxes there are, and we can’t see how many people are coming to celebrate and give gifts?
"Isn't the etiquette too grand?"
Yu Lu and Fang Xi looked at each other, and even Fang Xi's uncontrollable excitement subsided a little.
Even Beijing officials, once they enter the category of fourth-rank officials, they are already out of the middle and lower levels and are in the upper middle level of the pyramid among officials!
Not to mention being above the third rank, he is also an important minister of the imperial court.
Such a scene is too luxurious and too much.
Even if he is a grandson, with such prosperity, problems can easily arise, and they are still big problems.
The further Yu Lu walked, the more he frowned and became more frightened.
