As soon as they left, the Zhou family and the Bai family recovered. The Zhou family was purely surprised, "Man Bao, have you been promoted again?"

The Bai family was more surprised, "Why did you get the title?"

This is really unexpected.

Bai Shan and the other three happily told them: "Because of the first contribution to the capture of the King's City of Qiuci, your Majesty will reward you with a title."

Their hearts don't hurt much now, and they can't let their families know about this, otherwise they will be as heartbroken as them.

So the three of them smiled and told them very happily that everyone who went this time had received rewards, and Yin You and Liu Huan had also received titles.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but recited "Master Tianzun", and then discussed with Mr. Qian: "This is a big happy event, and we have to entertain guests to celebrate."

Bai Shan said quickly: "Grandma, it's just the county. I'm still young. There's no need to celebrate in a hurry. It's better to leave it for later."

Mrs. Liu insisted, "You didn't invite your relatives and friends when you passed the imperial examination before. If you don't invite your friends this time, it will be unjustifiable. And this is not your business alone."

She smiled and said: "In addition to you, there are Erlang and Manbao. One of them was knighted and the other was promoted. They should also entertain relatives and friends, especially Manbao. She is in a real position and her fellow officers have to greet her."

If you don't treat me, who will know that you have been promoted?

If you address someone by the wrong name when you go out in the future, it will be someone else's fault.

When Lao Zhou heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, it's time to treat us."

Mrs. Liu glanced at the two princesses standing aside and smiled with them: "You have guests. Go greet the guests first. Just leave these matters to us."

Old Zhou didn't want anything he wanted. He just didn't want his daughter to take care of the housework. It would be best to leave this kind of thing to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng. So he nodded in agreement and called Zhou Lijun? "The princesses are here to see your sister-in-law and the others."

Did you bring something back? Go and bring it to them."

Zhou Lijun entered the city one day later than Manbao and the others. After entering the city, he did not directly bring the convoy full of luggage to Chongyuanfang. Instead, he went to Erliu Lane and carried it back one car at a time.

The things haven't been moved yet, but two important carts of luggage have been brought back? There are things bought for Princess Changyu and Princess Mingda.

Man Bao invited them to talk in the study. The servants brought in two big boxes. The seal on the box said "Princess". Those were the things for the princess.

Man Bao tore off the seal and opened the box. Inside were boxes placed one after another, some big and some small.

Man Bao rummaged through and found a big box, opened it and showed it to Princess Changyu, "This is the gem I bought for you."

Chang Yu saw the various gems in the box, with rubies being the most numerous. He was surprised and delighted. "How can you buy so much with the money and things I gave you?"

Man Bao nodded, "The cloth you gave me is quite expensive? After arriving in Xizhou, Bai Er and the others met a big businessman from Tianzhu who was stranded in the city? They directly exchanged the cloth for the gems in his hands? In addition to the gems, they also

There are some spices."

This was barter? So I didn’t spend any money to buy it? It was exchanged directly.

Man Bao opened several small boxes to show her. They were all spices. They were packed separately. "These spices are not bad. That's all you bought with your money? By the way, I gave this to you."

Man Bao brought a box and opened it for her to see. There were various kinds of tourmalines inside.

Chang Yu exclaimed, "So beautiful."

Man Bao said proudly: "Of course, I went from shop to shop and carefully selected this."

She said to Mingda: "I also picked a box for you, and I also have a box myself."

Man Bao found it out and showed it to them. After opening it, he said, "I have strung it together. Take a look. Does it look good?"

Chang Yu looked at the red tourmaline in her hand, which reflected the dazzling light in the sun, and the color changed slightly. She said: "This is beautiful. This is not a string. It is clearly four strings. You give two strings."

Give it to me and I'll trade it with you for jade."

Bai Shan looked up and saw Man Bao shaking his head and saying, "No, Bai Shan gave this to me. I can't transfer it to you."

Changyu:……

Her teeth are a bit sore.

Man Bao pushed his box towards her and said with a smile: "You can choose some from my box to string together."

Chang Yu picked them up and picked a few purple beads and said: "During the Chinese New Year, my father gave me an inkstone. As you know, I don't like writing, so I kept it for you. I still have some jade stones."

, do you want to pick one?"

Man Bao did not refuse, "Wait for me to take a look."

Mingda also picked a few purple ones from his box and gave them to Chang Yu, saying: "Mixed colors actually look good. You can string pink and purple ones together, add a few light red ones, and string them into several strings to wear.

It’s also very good in hand.”

The three of them gathered together to talk about jewelry. Bai Shan and the others sat for a while and then slipped out to talk among themselves, "I'm having a banquet at my house, will you have one at yours?"

Yin You said with certainty: "I will definitely set it up at home."

He would never be an official in his life, but he finally got a title. Not to mention his grandmother, even his father would celebrate with a banquet for guests.

Bai Shan looked at Liu Huan.

Liu Huan was a little unsure, "It is indeed a happy event. Normally, my grandfather should also entertain guests, but..."

"But you have to prepare for the exam. This year's Ming Jing exam has been postponed by a month, but it's almost here. In thirty days, Liu Shangshu will definitely be reluctant to waste time and entertain guests. He may wait until you finish the exam.

Decision." After thinking for a while, Bai Shan reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "You work hard and try to pass the exam, so that we can still ask for a glass of water and wine, otherwise we will have to visit you in front of the bed."

Liu Huan:……

Yin Youxiao asked, "You don't want to have guests at home?"

Bai Shan sighed, "Now I finally understand why everyone at the court looked at us like that. Obviously everyone knows that we were demoted. At this time, there is a big banquet for guests and they come to the house.

My grandmother and mother will definitely feel distressed if someone says something carelessly."

He really didn't want to cause any more trouble.

There were so many people coming here that the matter would probably not be hidden, so he wanted to postpone it for a while. He said to Bai Erlang: "I will tell my family that we can wait until I pass the examinations of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel before we can come together."

Let’s do it. By then everyone will have almost forgotten about the previous relationship, and since I’m going to become an official, there may not be much discussion about it.”

Bai Erlang had no objection, "My father might also want to come, so I'll tell my eldest brother how about writing a letter home and asking my parents to come to Beijing as well?"

Bai Shan stroked his hands and said, "This is a good reason. It's settled then. We'll go find my grandmother and cousin together later."
