Man Bao and Bai Shan kept persuading him, "Since the adults can think that you are going to release it, then you must be on the list."
Liu Huan was still very depressed, how could he forget to read his name
The three hurried back to the official department.
The people on the top of the list have all dispersed, and those who can pass the examination of the official department are not fools, but they have no connections. It would be good to take this opportunity to go around the official department and get to know a few more people.
There is something to say when you come back to the selection of officials, right
So everyone dispersed.
Bai Shan and the others could go straight to the list. Liu Huan sniffed and looked from the back to the front.
Bai Shan looked from the front to the back, and Man Bao looked from the middle to the back. After a while, Man Bao found it. She happily stepped forward and nodded, "Look, here it is."
Bai Shan and Liu Huan immediately went up to have a look, seeing the big characters "Liu Huan" on it, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Shan said: "Look, we didn't lie to you, did we?"
Li Maoyue stood in the porch and looked at the three of them. After a long while, he coughed speechlessly and asked, "Master Zhou, Mr. Baixian, isn't your family hosting a banquet today? Are you going back at this time?"
Man Bao looked up at the sun in the sky, and confidently said to Li Shangshu: "It doesn't matter, everyone is still going to the Yamen right now, so they definitely didn't go."
Li Maoyue looked at her for a long time, said "Oh" and said: "I just came out of the palace, and even Master Wei told His Majesty that I want to end the political affairs early and ask you for a glass of water and wine. So the palace The small pilgrimage meeting is over."
It was only then that Man Bao remembered, yes, today is the release of the list, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Li Maoyue must attend the Xiaochaohui, he is here now...
Man Bao stared, pulled Bai Shan, turned around and left.
Bai Shan hurriedly bowed to Li Shangshu, and immediately followed him out.
Liu Huan was a little afraid of these elders who were about the same age as his grandfather, so he smiled at Li Shangshu and chased them.
Man Bao stood on the avenue with a troubled expression on his face, "Do you think we should go back to treat the guests immediately, or go to the palace to pick up Bai Er quickly?"
Bai Shan had already dragged her to the palace, "Let's go, today is a happy event for the three families, not just one family. My uncle and aunt came over from Changqing Lane early this morning."
Master Bai and Mrs. Bai just arrived in the capital city a few days ago. Their luggage was placed at Zhou's house, but they temporarily lived at Changqing Lane.
Because the eldest son and his wife lived there, they also lived there to see their grandson.
On the old Zhou's side, except for Zhou Zhoulang and his wife who stayed in their hometown and Zhou Zhoulang who was buying tea, everyone else was also in the capital.
Most of the people Zhou Man invites are colleagues and wives who get along well after getting acquainted with Jingzhong, but there are more people from the Bai family.
So this time, the banquet is actually divided into two parts, one part is the relatives of the Zhou family and the relatives of the Bai family.
Since Bai Shan passed the Jinshi examination the year before last, Longzhou has been in touch with their family. Not only Bai Shan, but even Bai Erlang, who has been separated, has a ranking in the clan.
Not to mention that this time when Bai Shan and the others came back from the Western Regions, they directly conferred the title of baron and viscount, and the food towns were all in Longzhou. Although it was not big, there were only a few villages, but it was enough for the Bai family to be shocked.
So they arrived in the capital two months earlier, and they were waiting to attend the celebration banquet of the Bai family.
And with their arrival, some of the Bai family's in-laws also appeared, so the Bai family's guests increased.
Originally, if they didn't have an invitation card, it would be useless even if they came, but my family said hello in advance.
After Mrs. Liu thought about it, she thought of the property still in Longzhou, so she agreed. Clothes do not return home, it is like a night walk in brocade, since they came to the door, they will put on their most beautiful clothes, take out their best food to entertain them.
She had to take back everything that was taken from her.
So Mrs. Liu made a lot of posts specially sent to them.
She was solely responsible for handling the banquet, and Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi wanted to share some of it at first, but after seeing the things that Mrs. Liu distributed, the two of them stopped talking and simply handed over to her.
People like them are particular about which cups and cups are used on which table, but Lao Zhoutou and Qian's don't even know who is who.
The couple discussed it and felt that they really couldn't help Man Bao in this matter, as long as they didn't cause trouble for her, they called the children and handed them over to Mrs. Liu to take care of them, and asked her to tell them if she had anything to do. To do it, it's good that they decide on their side, and they are responsible for the work.
Mrs. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and agreed with old Zhou Tou Qian, turned around and used Wu Wulang and the others.
Old Zhou looked at it and was happy, thinking that Mrs. Liu really belonged to their family and would not see outsiders.
Mrs. Liu also said to Zheng: "The in-laws are also generous. This is Zhou's house, and Man Bao is one of the protagonists, but he can leave everything to us to take care of, and he won't care about lengths like other families. In the future, you Let Man Bao and the others be the masters of the family, and get along well with their in-laws, they are all talkative people."
Mrs. Zheng agreed obediently.
Anyway, there are a lot of people here today, and the Bai family members are the most among them, so Bai Erlang, who is one of the protagonists, should appear with them no matter what.
So Man Bao and the others stood at the gate of the palace, found a servant, and asked him to go to the Chongwen Hall to spread the message, and asked Bai Erlang to tidy up and come out as soon as possible. He asked for leave yesterday and should have come out in the morning. He must have slept late.
The three lazily leaned against the palace wall and waited, Bai Shan said to her, "You are too lazy, you can even enter the palace."
Man Bao snorted, turned her head to look to the other side, she was tired from walking, so she didn't want to go so far to Chongwen Hall.
The three of them waited for a long time, it was almost half an hour before Bai Erlang came out, but he was not alone, but a large group of people, besides his classmates who also asked for leave to come out to drink with him, Princess Changyu and Mingda Princess.
Princess Mingda said solemnly: "We are going to Huguo Temple to offer incense."
Man Bao nodded blankly.
After everyone got on their horses and their carriages, Man Bao chased after them on horseback, and quietly got into the carriage of the two princesses.
The guards and maids of the princesses turned their heads aside and pretended not to see.
Man Bao and Ming Da huddled together and asked, "Why did you come out early?"
Changyu pointed to Mingda and said, "Ask her."
Ming Da said embarrassingly: "I want to give the gift I prepared for you to Bai Er to take back. Who knew that while we were talking, my cousin and the others came. As soon as they heard that we were going to leave the palace, they just, let's go together." gone."
Man Bao comforted her, "It's okay, I'll send them away in a while, and you go home with me."
