Days are everlasting

Cao Rui loves the noble concubine Mao family very much, and loves her family very much.

Mao's father, Mao Jia, was promoted to be the captain of Fengche, and his younger brother Mao Zeng was the captain of cavalry.

In fact, this is not a big deal. One person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and the emperor wants to secretly seal the relatives of the concubine. As long as it is not too much, the officials can turn a blind eye.

But Mao Jia was originally a car worker in Dianyu, and suddenly became rich, and he couldn't get rid of the aura of a nouveau riche.

In the first year of Taihe, that is, the first year of the Yuan change after Cao Rui succeeded to the throne in the seventh year of Huangchu, after Mao's conferment, her father was granted the title of Marquis of Boping Township, and his position was promoted to Doctor Guanglu, and his younger brother Mao Zengsheng For the son-in-law captain.

The title son-in-law, which specifically refers to the son-in-law of the emperor, does not yet exist. The first real son-in-law in history was He Yan, so it is normal for Mao to be named this post.

However, it is not normal for the emperor Cao Rui to even control the ministers' attendance at the banquet.

Sima Shi has not been able to become an official so far, which is a little bit better, but recently I have heard many complaints from scholars who have already been officials in the court.

In the seventh year of Huangchu, when Cao Pi passed away, he left a group of old ministers for Cao Rui in his will. Sima Shi did not know all of these positions, but judging from the transfer of personnel by several auxiliary ministers, it can still be seen that Kind of clueless.

It stands to reason that the first emperor had already paved the way for his son, and Cao Rui could stabilize his position by "not changing his father's way for three years".

But no matter from his own judgment or his understanding of Cao Rui in history, Sima Shi felt that he was not someone who would give up easily.

It is already common for the emperor of Cao Wei to establish his empress with love. There is a precedent for Cao Rui's biological mother, the Zhen family. No more bluffing.

But when it comes to major events, these emperors are pretty reliable.

This is the fact that flaws do not hide merits. As long as Mingjun does well in the court, even if he has a bit of a harem affair or is biased, the ministers can only advise in secret. After all, this is all Housework!

Therefore, Cao Rui valued the Mao family, and also benefited his family, not counting his wanton promotion, but also wanting the ministers to give Mao Jia face and go to the banquet at his house, perhaps the purpose is not that simple.

Sima Yi, as one of the auxiliary ministers, is very busy, very busy. Of course, even if he is not busy, he probably would not want to give the Mao family face and go to the banquet held by their family - when Prime Minister Cao asked Sima Yi to come out as an official, he would Don't want to, just have such a personality, what kind of green onion is the Mao family?

So Master Sima could only "submit his work" instead of his father.

Sima Yi also specifically reported this matter to Cao Rui, and he really did everything.

It was probably because Sima Yi had always been relied on by Cao Pi, and Cao Rui also regarded him as his help, and Sima Shi and Cao Rui were also regarded as close friends in this life, so His Majesty the Emperor readily agreed.

Sima Yi and Cao Rui don't care, but Master Sima does.

When he went to the banquet, he sat in the bullock cart with a cold face, which frightened all the big girls and old ladies who "threw fruit" at his face on weekdays [fog], and his harvest was not as good as usual half of.

Of course, maybe this is also related to the fact that Mao's relatives, who are upstarts, are not welcomed, and people around them don't leave their house unless they pass by.

Mao Jia is vulgar, and his background as a petty official is fine. If he is humble, others will naturally be willing to associate with him, but he relied on his daughter to become a queen, and he never restrained his behavior. When interacting with others, he relied on his noble status. Domineering, not many people think highly of him.

If Cao Rui, the emperor, hadn't come forward in person, the empress's natal family would have been left in the cold.

After Sima Shi got off the ox cart, he sent his servants to the resting place, and was led by the servants of Mao's family to the banquet hall.

When he arrived at the place, he didn't know some of the ministers in the court, and some others just had a glimpse. To be honest, his father Sima Yi didn't often interact with the officials in the court. He is a model official of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Many of the ministers in the court have titles, but there are also some who are about the same age as Sima Shi and have not entered the officialdom. They usually have the shadow of their ancestors and inherited their father's title before they began to show their faces in the Great Wei court.

Sima Shi's future eldest brother-in-law and close friend Xia Houxuan appeared here because he inherited his father Xia Houshang's title of Marquis of Changling Township.

Sima Shi had faintly heard rumors that after Xia Houxuan was crowned, he would be able to be appointed.

Xiahouxuan was born in the Xiahou family, even though his father Xiahoushang died in the sixth year of Huangchu, but he still has a whole family of prominent relatives in the Xiahou family, he has the title of Xiahoushang, and he is not the kind of poor man who beats the autumn wind. His relative has always been talented and famous, and the Xiahou family will definitely not hesitate to invest in him.

Secondly, judging from his mother's relationship with the landlord of Deyang, Cao Zhen, the auxiliary minister and general, is his real uncle!

As soon as Sima Shi entered the door, Xia Houxuan's eyes lit up: "I actually met Brother Ziyuan here today!"

Although Sima Shi has already decided to become Xia Houxuan's brother-in-law, he is one year older than Xia Houxuan, and Xia Houxuan has known him since childhood, so in Sima Shi's year—that is, the first year of Taihe— —After the crowning, although Xia Houxuan changed his name, he still added the word brother in front.

Xia Houxuan quickly joined Master Sima.

Although he came to replace his father, Sima Shi was not willing to sit where his father should be.He is already conspicuous enough, there is no need for the owner to notice them anymore!

Although the seat arrangement is preliminarily arranged according to the size of the official rank, but if the guests are of similar identities, they can also sit together with their best friends after discussing with each other.

Xia Houxuan quickly moved to the seat next to Master Sima, and started talking in a low voice.

They were not conspicuous in the crowd. Before the host came and announced the start of the banquet, the officials who knew each other were chatting in twos and threes, which seemed a bit noisy for a while.

It is winter now, and the sky is getting dark very quickly. When the sky darkened, the host's house had already lit the candles, and the room was as bright as day for a while.

For a family official who was originally wealthy, such details as lamps and candles may not be uncommon, but don't forget that before the Mao family developed, the head of the family, Mao Jia, was just a Dianyu car worker.

Xia Houxuan, who was talking with Sima Shi, showed a slight sarcastic smile, and Sima Shi immediately understood.

But after all, the Mao family is the queen's mother's family, so they can't be too mocking, they must save some face for His Majesty the emperor.

But the master probably thought their status was too high, and Mao Jia's first words made Master Sima almost laugh out loud.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, Hou Shen is late!" Mao Jia said apologetically after showing up, but his self-statement showed that he obviously didn't think so, and his expression was not so apologetic.

The group of people below all had serious faces and did not speak.

Sima Shi felt that they were trying to hold back their laughter because of Mao Jia's self-proclaimed "houshen".

To be reasonable, Mao Jia can use both "Old Body" - which is usually the name of an old lady - and "Ben Hou", but he just created a nondescript "Hou Shen", and they You can't just listen to this line and laugh at others for being uneducated. It's not easy to hold back your face and smile!

Mao Zeng, who was following Mao Jia, also pretended to be humble and polite, but he couldn't hide the pride of "my sister is the queen" in his speech.

To be reasonable, seeing the vulgar appearance of the Mao family, Master Sima wondered if the Empress Mao, whom he only knew by name but never met, was a vase with only a face.

Fortunately, after the banquet, all the ministers pretended to be fools and turned into alcoholics and drunkards. It was fine to echo Mao Jia and his son's words vaguely or simply ignore them.

Then Mao Zeng ran to the place where guests around his age gathered, and the first to bear the brunt were Xia Houxuan and Sima Shi.

Sima Shi: I have a bad feeling.

Soon, his idea came true. The fanboy Mao Zeng ran to Xia Houxuan to express his admiration euphemistically, and then ran to Master Sima, expressing that he also worshiped Master Sima.

Sima Shi and Xia Houxuan: Thank you, we don't want your worship at all!

If Mao Zeng was a normal fanboy, then it would be fine if he was a bit special, but Mao Jia is not actually their fangirl at all!

As the younger brother of Empress Mao, Mao once ascended to heaven like his father Mao Jia.

Forget about women, maybe Queen Mao has a genetic mutation, but Mao was once a boy, which means that he has received more education from his father, what kind of person his father Mao Jia is... Needless to say, everyone should know understandable.

After the sudden promotion of Mao Jia's status, the behavior of the nouveau riche is to call himself "Hou Shen" at every turn. After the banquet started, he can't count how many "Hou Shen" Sima Shi he called himself.

And Mao Zeng was a young man after all, and he showed his arrogance in a better way than his father.

Xia Houxuan and Sima Shi are both the most representative young people of the younger generation of Wei today, and they have a close relationship with Cao Rui.

Mao once chose to be their fanboy, in fact, to explain that "my idol is very good, and I am not an ordinary group of fans, no idol can escape my palm", in a word, it is to highlight his own force.

Xia Houxuan and Sima Shi have a lot of fanboys. In the future, even a famous gifted child like Zhong Hui will not be able to make Xia Houxuan look at his fanboys more, and Mao Zeng?Then I can only hehe.

The author has something to say: Although Ah Rui is a scumbag, and Queen Mao’s family is really hard to explain, but the stupid author didn’t just pull the family of Queen Mao and lie down 23333

The next chapter Master is going to pretend to be aggressive 2333 [probably
