Chapter 16: Catch the wind and wash the dust
Hangchuan is a historical city and the birthplace of martial arts in the Lanying Dynasty. The one who manages the Tianzun Martial Arts School must be a senior official sent by the imperial capital.
Therefore, the prefect of Hangchuan was mostly the most timid prefect of the entire Lanying Dynasty.
"Sir, please take you to see your residence first?"
After drinking and eating, Cong Zhongzhi suggested.
“Okay.”
Xu Tian had no objection, "I came here with dust and lack of energy. Besides, if I went to pay homage to Lord Shangshu today, it seemed a bit abrupt. I would like to take a good rest first. Please ask Lord Cong to inform me first and go to pay homage to Lord Shangshu tomorrow so as not to impact his wind and cold on the mountain road."
Cong Zhongzhi smiled and said, "Sir, wise."
Xu Tian’s residence is very generous. Although it is far inferior to the Magnolia Mansion in his hometown, it is also a luxury house. It is obvious that it is a famous mansion.
This is where the previous vice principal of Tianzun Martial Arts School lived, and there were servants who had been taking care of it.
After checking in, Xu Tian slept beautifully. He took a shower and changed his clothes the next morning, dressed himself up decently, and then took Xu Xiangxiang and Lu Su, who were dressed as a man and a woman, and set off to pay homage to his boss.
Just now, Cong Zhongzhi had sent someone to pass the message. Lord Shangshu learned that he was going to pay homage. Today, he had set up a banquet in his mansion to welcome him.
"Why are we wearing guard uniforms now?"
While sitting in the carriage, Lu Su asked in her dark green outfit.
"What do you think the two maids always follow the dignified Minister of War?"
As soon as Xu Tian finished speaking, he grinned because two jade hands twisted the waists on both sides of his left and right sides.
It hurts so much that you cry!
When I arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, it was a mansion larger and more grand than his Shishu Mansion. The two crystal clear stone lions at the door seemed worth a lot of money, which made Xu Tian feel itchy.
I really have the urge to absorb the two stone lions.
I don't know how much alloy raw material it can be replaced.
After entering the living room, Xu Tiancai saw that there were still many people, and there were all sitting while standing.
I guess these are the active officials in Hangzhou and Sichuan.
To be precise, active officials who are not sick.
Many officials have also been infected with smallpox at this time. I heard that one of them was just lifted out yesterday.
Cong Zhongzhi was also there, and he was sitting on the left chair closest to the main seat. Obviously, his official position among these guests was the largest.
As for the Taishi Chair on the right, it is empty.
Mostly it was left to me as the Minister of War.
These officials are all local officials. Cong Zhongzhi, the prefect with the highest administrative level, is just a fourth-rank official. All of them have lower official positions than Xu Tian, the third-rank official. When they saw Xu Tian, they stood up one after another. Although they did not dare to make noise, they all looked at Xu Tian with good looks.
Except for the middle-aged man who was not angry and powerful in the main seat.
Minister of War, Empress Gongsun.
Queen Gongsun looks no more than forty years old at most, has dark skin, a strong figure, narrow eyes, and high cheekbones. He is the only one present who is sitting in a high position.
When he saw Xu Tian enter the door, he did not look up, but instead kept his head down and clinking the teacup.
I don't look at myself very much.
Xu Tian’s first feeling was that Lord Gongsun seemed not very friendly.
But it doesn't matter. He doesn't ask everyone to like him. As long as others don't come and provoke him, everything will be fine. He immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Secretary of the Ministry of War, Xu Tian, please pay homage to the Minister of the Shangshu!"
"Um."
Queen Gongsun then slowly raised her head, looked at him indifferently, and said gently: "Mr. Lord, come here from afar, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Tian said: "Working for the imperial court, the officials will die without hesitation. It is nothing but fatigue."
Everyone present praised it when they heard this.
Oh, don’t look at this minister who is so young, he has a nose and eyes when talking clichés.
"Okay." Gongsun nodded expressionlessly, unable to tell what he was thinking.
"Sir, please come to the seat."
The servant behind him made a gesture to the Grand Master chair below the chairman.
"Mr. Xie Shangshu!"
Xu Tian sat down with ease, Xu Xiangxiang and Lu Su pretended to be guards and stood behind him.
"Everyone sit for a while and wait until the food is ready, so I will bother you to move to the restaurant and welcome the minister together."
Queen Gongsun said that he was the only one who was the landlord.
The officials responded in unison: "Yes, sir."
...
At the banquet, the officials picked up their glasses to show their goodwill to Xu Tian, nodded and bowed, and were extremely enthusiastic.
"Mr.
"The Minister of the Secretariat is really a talent."
"Mr. Mr., thanked me all the way."
"The Minister of the Secretariat is a beautiful young man who is rare in a century. I wonder if he will be married?"
"Mr...."
Xu Tian had to deal with it one by one.
Only the Minister of War Gongsun Hou was present and did not speak much until he was almost finished eating, he stood up and said, "Today, in order to welcome the minister, I specially invited Lin Qinsheng to play music and cheer everyone up."
"Qin Sheng, is Lin Miyue, the legendary person who can play the piano and get a hundred birds together?"
"Why is she in Hangchuan?"
"I heard that Lin Miyue is not only unparalleled in piano skills, but also has a stunning appearance. She is a rare beauty in the world."
"Qin Sheng walked through the world, and there were few traces. How could Lord Shangshu invite her?"
Gongsun Hou smiled and said, "Lin Qinsheng was originally the disciple of an old friend of my husband. I came to visit me with my master, so that everyone can have the opportunity to open their eyes and listen to this unparalleled sound of nature. Anyang, please invite Niece Lin in."
Anyang was his housekeeper, and he immediately bowed and left the hall after hearing this.
Called Miyue?
Xu Tian couldn't help but recall the character.
This Mi Yue has been reported by netizens more than once.
I don’t know what happened later, but he traveled through time anyway.
hope.
By the way, since you want to play time travel, why not travel to the past and do it yourself...
estimate.
Everything is the best arrangement.
It's okay to wear him to another world. Although he doesn't have a mobile phone to play with, it can at least fulfill his thoughts.
Soon, a graceful woman in red came in with a red long-haired dog. What made everyone feel regretful was that a red veil was covered with a red veil, covering all the parts below her eyes, and she had no chance to see her true face.
However, the pair of peach blossom eyes exposed outside are so bright and charming that they can attract people's souls, and they are enough to see the tip of the iceberg of peerless appearance.
There was a girl following her, holding the Guqin for her.
