The official road of the farmer

The people attending the banquet arrived one after another, and the venue became lively in an instant.

Every time a character enters the scene, Xiao Shizi can tell one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, together with the other party's family members or romantic affairs, except for the rumors in the neighborhood, as well as those private affairs that are not known to outsiders, it is almost a secret. without.

What Xiaoshizi said was dry, and the Ye family brothers listened with gusto. The younger ones admired Xiaoshizi beyond words. Brother Yun (uncle) is really amazing!Know everything!

They also saw a lot of familiar faces. They sometimes came to visit at home on weekdays, or saw several uncles and uncles who took them out to visit.

However, the acquaintances I saw at this time were different from the ones I usually saw. The usual uncles and uncles were very gentle and amiable, but now I saw the majestic demeanor of a high-ranking official.

Xiao Shizi's eyes glanced at Lu Ge'er from time to time, seeing that he was also interested in these things, he listened seriously, and immediately spoke in a more cadenced manner.

The Ye family brothers unconsciously quieted down.

Everything is in order.

Brother Lu sat at a few tables not far away, and they were all children of aristocratic families who were not involved in current affairs and whose identities were not important. They also came to watch the fun.

Many people wanted to make friends with the Ye family, and people would come to say hello from time to time.

After that, envoys from more than a dozen countries and tribes also attended the meeting one after another.

Lu Geer and the others stopped chatting, but focused on the big scene.

Finally, Emperor Tai'an appeared on the stage together with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, officially opening the prelude to the state banquet.

The first day of the state banquet is to talk about business, and the second day is also the same, interspersed with various entertainment programs, such as singing and dancing.

Brother Lu and his big family watched it with great interest, and they could even stay safe.

Although Ye Junshu is not a new prospect, he still has several chances to perform.

The diplomatic relations this time are mainly related to foreign policy. The country wants to develop, and it will focus on peaceful diplomacy and discuss various regulations on trade exchanges between countries.

One of the most important issues is taxation.

The development of commerce and trade in these years has given the upper class a taste of the sweetness. Emperor Tai'an used the sea trade to open up the situation where the aristocratic nobles monopolized the trade, and now it is radiating influence around.

Ye Junshu was fortunate to participate in the discussion and formulation of tariffs, or to talk about them, which made the eyes of the Ye family's uncles and nephews shine.

Everyone was in the spirit of friendly exchanges, and the conversation went very smoothly. After several deliberations and revisions, the final version of the tariff was finalized in two days, and the agreement was signed only after some details were revised in private later.

The third day was basically about relaxing.

All kinds of fighting competitions, competitions of poems and songs, and very exotic performances, showing the demeanor of strength and beauty.

Ye Junshu only felt more tense.

This is a state banquet hosted by the Seventh Prince and the Empress. How could the King Dai not do something small?

Thinking about it makes it impossible.

He didn't do anything for the first two days, it can be understood that it was a major national event, and he didn't want to destroy it, although Ye Junshu didn't believe he had such awareness.

But no matter what, the first two days passed safely, and only the third day passed before the curtain call could be completed.

Ye Junshu recalled every process today, and every link has people watching carefully to ensure that no water leaks.

Every food served is handled by trustworthy people from the time it is prepared to the time it is delivered to the guests.

Ye Junshu went back and forth several times, thinking through every aspect he could think of, and found that there was nothing missing, so he felt more at ease.

When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with soil, so as to remain unchanged and respond to all changes.

Before you know it, night falls.

The palace lanterns were lit up, illuminating the entire palace beautifully.

On the large stage in the center of the venue, it was the dance performance of their country brought by the envoys of the Sang Kingdom.Dancers in flowing dresses dance gracefully on the stage.

An An couldn't sit still, he twisted his fat butt, Ye Junshan asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with An An?"

An An raised her head, "Second Uncle, I want to pee!"

Ye Junshan said quickly, "Okay, Second Uncle will take you there." Ye Junshan held An An's little hand and got up to leave.

Pingping also jumped off the small stool, followed beside him and said, "I'll go too."

Brother Lu noticed the movement here, stood up and said, "Second Brother, let me take Ping An to go safely."

"I'll be with fourth brother." Brother Qin also said.

Ye Junshan was worried: "Then be careful."

Brother Lu nodded, "Understood." They have walked by many times in the past three days, and they are already familiar with the way, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

Although many programs are very fresh and beautiful, it is always uncomfortable to sit all day long.

Every time I take a few small ones to relieve my hands, I also let the wind relax by the way.

Brother Lu and Brother Qin left their seats safely.

Xiao Shizi was waiting behind, but they were going to solve their own problems, and Xiao Shizi was too embarrassed to follow.

The place they went was not far from the banquet venue, and the sound of drums could be faintly heard.

Brother Lu and Brother Qin took turns to look at Ping An'an, and after finishing their work, they took Ping'an to stroll around the small garden near Ping'an Road.

Most of the high-status masters and empresses in the palace have gone to the banquet, so they don't have to worry about collisions when they walk outside.

After all, the child's heart is safe and sound. It is already very remarkable to be able to sit peacefully for most of the past three days.

The two brothers took a nephew each, and they were better. They held Brother Qin's hand obediently, and An An jumped up and down happily, and Brother Lu walked quickly behind.

"An'an, don't run so fast, be careful."

Although many palace lanterns are very bright, some places are still dark.

An'an's chubby five-short figure scurried around nimbly, "Sisu, come and play!" The child was excited and spoke with a cute milky voice.

Lu Geer smiled helplessly, and chased after him. Although he was not close, he would not completely lose sight of the other party.

The little guy runs to dark places, and he can't see the little figure with a wrong eye.

Brother Lu looked around, then to the right, and after a while, he saw the little guy lying in the corner looking out.

Brother Lu leaned over and looked out, it turned out that he just happened to see the palace servants serving the guests.

The long line walked down the corridor in an orderly manner, the exquisite lids on the trays were tightly covered, and there were eunuchs watching with piercing eyes from the front, middle and back.

After a distance, I can still hear my father-in-law saying words like being careful from time to time.

An An turned her head and saw Lu Ge'er, her excited little face was about to call someone, but Lu Ge'er stretched out her index finger to hold it, and hissed.

An An immediately covered her mouth with her hands, and looked at Brother Lu with round eyes blinking.

The reason why Brother Lu kept quiet was not because he was afraid of disturbing the team, but because he saw someone lurking not far from the corridor. The figure is lying on its stomach.

It just so happened that they were on a higher terrain, otherwise they would not have been found.

Before Brother Lu could see what was going on, he saw a palace servant in the middle of the line suddenly tilted his body, and the tray in his hand came out of his hand and fell to the ground, making a loud noise, and there was the sound of broken ceramic dishes.

The orderly formation was in disarray. The father-in-law looked back and shouted instantly, "Quiet! What's going on?"

The other people who were not affected stopped neatly, and the handsome eunuch who caused the trouble suddenly knelt down in panic, "Father-in-law, forgive the crime, father-in-law, forgive the crime!"

The nearby father-in-law in charge frowned. He looked around vigilantly, but no stranger appeared. The little eunuch who caused the trouble made a circle within half a meter, and the others stood peacefully without breaking the rules.

The eunuch in charge frowned slightly, only the thin figure of the kneeling eunuch shivered.

He is a young eunuch in Shangshi Palace. He finally used his savings accumulated for several years to bribe his superiors to get such a chance to show his face. He didn't expect that he couldn't walk steadily and dropped the banquet.

The little eunuch's face was pale, and he felt that his life was over.

It's almost time for the banquet, so we can't delay it.

The father-in-law in charge said sharply: "Go with Eunuch Mo quickly, and go to the imperial dining room to get another copy. For this mistake, you will find your father-in-law the consul to take the blame afterwards."

"Yes! Thank you, Eunuch, for your forgiveness!"

The little eunuch was grateful to Dade, and hurriedly moved the debris on the ground aside.

Eunuch Mo, who was always paying attention to the surrounding environment and the people who served the dishes, made a "chirp" at the command.

Then he said to the little eunuch: "Don't pack it up, come with me quickly."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch hurriedly followed Eunuch Mo and hurried back to the imperial dining room.

Fearing that the portion of the banquet dishes would not be enough or that there would be an accident, the Imperial Dining Room always prepared more than two servings, and now I will go back to pick up another one, and there is still time if I hurry up.

The banquet has just been served, and there are not many people in the imperial dining room at this time.

Eunuch Mo walked in with the little eunuch, and was noticed by Eunuch Yushanfang.

"Eunuch Mo, is there something incomplete?"

"Prepare me a special barbecue of the Tatar tribe."

In order to take care of the tastes of the envoys, in addition to serving the special palace dishes of the dynasty, they will also prepare a set of delicacies from their respective countries and tribes. This time, what they serve is the food of their respective countries and tribes.

What the little eunuch dropped was the special barbecue of the Tatar tribe.

The father-in-law of the imperial dining room glanced at the little eunuch in a mess, and didn't ask any more questions, "Eunuch, wait a moment. It will be ready soon."

Eunuch Mo glanced at the little eunuch, his immature and delicate face was still full of fear, he looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he was still a child.

Eunuch Mo's expression became softer, and he said in a gentle voice, "Go and take care of yourself first, don't lose your manners."

Seeing that Eunuch Mo was not angry, the little eunuch nodded quickly in response, and hurried to find a place nearby to take care of him.

The steamed meat skewers were delivered to Eunuch Mo, just as the little eunuch hurried over.

"Elder-in-law, the little one is ready."

The little eunuch's face was flushed from running so fast, he saw that Eunuch Mo was holding a plate with a lid on it, and quickly took it over.

Eunuch Mo put his hands behind his back, "Let's go."

"Yes."

Lu Geer saw the team was in chaos for a moment, and quickly restored order to go to Xiyuan. Only the little eunuch who caused the disturbance walked back accompanied by a father-in-law.

After the person walked away, the figure lurking nearby also left quietly.

Lu Ge'er pressed An'an to lie down, and it took a while to raise his head.

The figure was gone too.

Lu Geer frowned in thought.

Obviously, the confusion caused just now must have been done by that mysterious person, but Lu Geer also saw clearly that the person did nothing after that.

As if it was an accident.

Brother Lu couldn't think of what kind of medicine this man sold in his gourd for a moment.

An An blinked ignorantly, and pulled the corner of Lu Geer's clothes, "Fourth Uncle, it's delicious!"

I can smell the aroma of food from a long distance, An An wants to eat it!

Before Brother Lu could respond, he heard Brother Qin's soft call——

"Fourth brother, An An, where are you?"

Brother Lu hurriedly led An An to the source of the sound, and responded, "We are here."

As soon as Brother Lu led An An onto the cobblestone road, Brother Qin walked over with Pingping.

The four formally met, An An didn't want to play anymore, he couldn't wait to go back and eat delicious food!

An An shook Brother Lu's hand, "Fourth Uncle, let's go back!"

Brother Lu looked down at An An's chubby little face full of eagerness, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his mind.

Eunuch Mo hurried to Xiyuan with the young eunuch, wanting to catch up with the large army.

The banquet dishes are served in order. The banquet dishes of the Tatar tribe are not at the front, but they are distinguished guests after all, so they are arranged quite at the front.

Walking to the corner of the corridor, a short and fat man rushed out and bumped into the little eunuch who was carrying something.

There was only an exclamation, and the banquet, which was not protected even subconsciously, fell to the ground again with a bang.

The barbecue that fell twice in a row was doomed not to be served in time.

The little eunuch sat slumped on the ground, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry.

He didn't even have the chance to make up for his mistakes, and his little life was really going to be confessed.

The little eunuch held back his tears.

The little chubby who bumped into him raised his head in a daze, and sat in front of the little eunuch, looking at each other.

Eunuch Mo sighed, and quickly helped the child up, "Isn't this Young Master Xiao Ye? Young Master, are you all right? Did you fall?"

When Ping Anan was still a baby, he often played in the palace, so Eunuch Mo naturally recognized the most beloved junior of the lord of the palace.

Empress Li has no son, husband, or grandson. There are only such a pair of twins in the three generations of the Li family, which really hurts to the bone.

Mr. Mo couldn't tell which of the twins it was, so he just called them that.

But soon Eunuch Mo knew which one it was.

"An'an, don't run so fast!" Brother Lu hurried over from the other side of the corridor.

An An stood next to Eunuch Mo, with an expression on his face that he had done something wrong, "Si Su, An An bumped into my little brother..."

Brother Lu said sternly: "Just tell you not to jump off like that, and see if you will hurt my little brother!"

An'an pursed her mouth and lowered her head in fear.

Eunuch Mo hurriedly called back to the round field, "Master Hui, don't be angry, the young master is still young, the child's temperament is understandable, it's because we didn't see the way..."

Brother Lu looked down at the little eunuch sitting on the ground and the mess on the ground, and apologized: "This father-in-law... the two father-in-laws, I'm really sorry, the child's mischievousness caused trouble, if there are any consequences, we will fully bear it." .”

"Master Hui is serious."

This time it is impossible to catch up, Eunuch Mo is anxious, if one fails, he will also suffer, but he will not push the matter to the master.

"It should be, An An accidentally caused the trouble, and we should bear it." Lu Ge'er helped the little eunuch up, while taking the responsibility on his body.

The little eunuch stood up fearfully.

"Who is this for? I'll take An'an to apologize in person. Don't worry, we won't let the superiors punish you. We will bear all the mistakes."

In the end, Eunuch Mo couldn't hold back, so he had to say: "This is the banquet food to be delivered, and it belongs to the Tatar tribe."

Brother Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, I'll tell my elder brother to ask him to personally apologize to Prince Wen Erhan. The eldest prince has always said that he wants to try the barbecue made by elder brother. I will see if elder brother is free to help with the roast."

Lu Geer noticed that what fell on the ground were skewers of barbecue, so he knelt down to help clean it up.

The little eunuch squatted down in fear and trepidation, "Please let the little one come, Princess Hui, you have a noble status..."

Brother Lu smiled indifferently, "There is no such thing as noble or not." He also came from a mud-legged background, even though he now has the status of a princess.

After picking up the things, Lu Geer brought them over, "To prove that I won't renege on my debts, I'll keep these evidences."

"We'll go to the empress to plead guilty, you can rest assured."

Holding the 'evidence', Brother Lu led An An away.

"Respectfully send off Princess Hui and Young Master."

After watching the man go away, the little eunuch asked weakly: "Elder-in-law, what shall we do?"

Eunuch Mo flicked his sleeves, "The miscellaneous family will ask the Seventh Prince for instructions first."

They are all their own people, and now that such a mistake has happened, how can Princess Hui and the others take full responsibility for it? If they don't take the initiative to plead guilty, it is estimated that the masters will be left out after they find out.

At least let the masters know about this episode. If anyone feels that they have treated the distinguished guests slowly, the masters should have a countermeasure first.

Brother Lu led An An back to the seat, sweating unconsciously on his back.

"Brother Lu, you are back."

Ye Junshan heaved a sigh of relief, he just saw that Brother Qin and Pingping came back first and was still worried. Fortunately, he listened to what Brother Qin said, saying that Brother Lu and An An would be back later.

Now that I see people, I feel at ease.

Brother Lu forced a smile, and when An An returned to his seat, he stuffed the things in Ye Junshan's hand.

"This is?" Ye Junshu looked at Lu Ge'er suspiciously.

I can still smell the strong smell of barbecue. Could it be that Lu Geer specially went to fetch it to honor his second brother?

Ye Junshan was very moved.

Brother Lu lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, do you think of a way to give this to elder brother or brother, let them find a way to take it out of the palace."

Now outside, it is inconvenient for Brother Lu to say more, so he said in a few words, "I suspect there is something wrong with the banquet food that An An dropped after bumping into someone."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Ye Junshan immediately said seriously, "I understand, leave it to me."

Not long after, Ye Junshan left.

Brother Lu felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he took An An to find Ye Junshu.

"An'an, do you know what to say?"

An An's eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly, "I know, I know!"

Brother Lu didn't know if it was right to do so, the situation was too urgent, this was the only way he could think of.
