Chapter 202 Burning Tail Feast

In the next day's martial arts academy class, a new teacher's face appeared, Xiao Zhizhong.

Although Xiao Zhizhong was also a county magistrate with experience as an official, he used to face a group of people who were inferior to him. Now there are children and officials of aristocratic families like Cheng Boxian, which is obviously a little nervous. Fortunately, Xue Shao had already greeted Cheng Boxian and others, saying that we were going to leave the martial arts academy sooner or later, and we had to train a few teachers who could teach on behalf of us to continue to support the martial arts academy.

So Xiao Zhizhong's appearance did not cause much "sensation", which made him calmer.

The lessons are still very good. With Xue Shao’s previous teaching experience and lesson plan and notes, Xiao Zhizhong only needs to use it on this basis, and it is not difficult in itself.

After a class, Xiao Zhizhong's underwear was sweating.

Xue Shao laughed and praised him for a while, and asked him to teach the lectures on the future. At the same time, Xue Shao asked Li Xianyuan to be Xiao Zhizhong's assistant, and then he would continue to strengthen the team. There are still many things to teach in the martial arts academy in the future. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so take everything slowly.

Someone took on the burden of the lecturer, and Xue Shaodun felt much more relaxed. This place was the place to dig the first pot of gold, so we must not give up casually.

After class that day, Xue Shao found Yuan Wanqing and formally invited him to the Yixin Palace for a banquet tomorrow. At the same time, he also invited Wei Yuanzhong and Guo Yuanzhen, and sent Xue Chuyu out for a trip to officially notify Zuo Fengchenwei and Xue Ne. After a grievance, Xiao Zhizhong did not let him go, because the class in the martial arts academy could not be suspended, so he asked him to stay and continue to teach the thirty envoys.

The next morning, the city gate had just opened, and Xue Shao left the palace and went straight to his home. He just arrived at home and met his brother, sister-in-law and others who were ready to go to Yixin Palace. The family set up Furong Garden, and Yixin Palace had already been busy. Princess Taiping ordered his confidant eunuch Zhu Bajie to host a banquet. Zhu Bajie, the inner custody, transferred more than a hundred eunuchs and palace maids to be "waiters". The cooks and servants were all ready-made in the palace. They came and fought as soon as they were asked, and they were all very capable.

"Today's sun shines brightly, Erlang's tail-burning banquet is grand!" Xue Yan was smiling and full of joy. He was praising the weather, but actually praising the pomp. Who is an official who doesn't want to show off his face? How many people can always hold a tail-burning banquet in places like Furong Garden?

Almost as Xue Yan finished speaking, a shocking horn suddenly sounded on the Yixin Palace Palace, which almost scared Xue Yan and others.

Everyone climbed the stairs and walked to the hall to see that thirty-six guards in red dress were carrying eighteen huge golden horns and were playing there. The horn that shocked the sky was to promote the glory of the sky, and to show the guests the place of the banquet.

"The royal family's reputation is indeed extraordinary!" Xue Ying looked around and was quite shocked. Such a standard of ceremonial warfare is really something that ordinary ministers can enjoy.

"Your Highness Princess Taiping is here!" The loud announcement of the eunuch eunuch suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hall.

Xue Shao and others were a little surprised. Why did Princess Taiping come?

Princess Taiping walked out of the inner hall, and the Xue family hurried forward to worship.

"You don't have to be too polite." Princess Taiping was dressed in a golden palace dress that was so gorgeous that it was so beautiful that it was so beautiful that it was more than three meters long. She was holding four palace maids behind her, with her face, red lips, and silk. She was covered with pearls and treasures, as if the spring sun was about to be overshadowed in front of her!

At first glance, Xue Yi and his wife were stunned for a while. How elegant and luxurious this is!

Xue Shao smiled slightly. Li Zhihao was frugal and Wu Zetian always advocated frugality. Princess Taiping was influenced by her and generally did not like to pay attention to her clothing. But if her natural beauty really dressed up carefully, and her innate unparalleled nobleness, she would be the real proud daughter of heaven and the goddess of beauty.

No one can match the world!

"Why is Your Highness coming from my tail-burning banquet?" Xue Shao stepped forward and asked.

"Why, isn't you welcome?" Princess Taiping said with a smile.

"I dare not." In front of everyone, Xue Shao bowed politely and said, "It's just that my minor ministers who are in the office are not promotional banquets for senior officials above the third rank, and there has never been a precedent for inviting the royal family."

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, "Everything has precedents, so start with Princess Taiping, how about it?"

Xue Yan and others felt very happy. Although Princess Taiping was about to marry Xue Shao, she would not dare to attend a venue like the tail-burning banquet without the promise of the Second Saint. This undoubtedly demonstrated the great respect for the Royal Family for the Xue Family. For the officials, there is nothing more than being favored by the Royal Family!

"Mr. Xue, I ordered the eunuchs to take charge day and night, and everything is complete." Princess Taiping came forward and said, "I would like to invite Mr. Xue to visit the palace, but if there are any inappropriate points, it is also easy to correct them in time."

"Okay, okay, it's really a blessing that Your Highness personally asked for help. I and my inner son are so scared!" Xue Yi and his wife thanked him quickly.

"Mr. Xue and his wife are both a family!" Princess Taiping said with a smile, "Please!"

"Please, Your Highness!"

Princess Taiping personally accompanied Xue Shao's family and visited and examined them one by one in the main hall where the male guests were feasted, the female guests were feasted, and the guests' lounge. The royal eunuchs have experienced and held various large banquets in the palace all year round. They are experienced and smart and capable, and all the halls are well arranged. Even the costumes of the waiters who shuttled through the banquet were uniform. Princess Taiping also transferred more than 200 musicians and dancers from the palace teaching workshop, and they were divided into several shifts to play music and dance in the three halls. Even the personnel responsible for receiving the guests and receiving the guests were arranged properly.

Later, the eighteen stunning maiden philanders who were selected from the palace, who belonged to her private, acted as "etiquette ladies". They all walked out in court dress and stood on both sides of the steps of the palace as "welcome guests", becoming the most beautiful scenery in front of the entire palace.

Xue Ying was secretly amazed that Erlang's tail-burning banquet was completely arranged according to the standards of the state banquet!!

Xue Shao invited Princess Taiping to the side and whispered: "Taiping, thank you so much for your hard work. This show is big enough!"

"What are you calling me?" Princess Taiping deliberately made her face stern.

Xue Shao smiled, "Okay, Anran!"

"I'm still thinking this show is small!" Princess Taiping said with a smile, "When your official position is promoted to the third-rank noble, I will hold a bigger tail-burning banquet for you. I will let all the officials and nobles of the court come to the banquet!"

Xue Shao thought to himself that Princess Taiping was not deliberately extravagant, but to take this opportunity to expand my influence and win over the official connections as much as possible. It is rare that she has good intentions!

"Thank you!" Xue Shao said sincerely.

"Silly, thank me!" Princess Taiping smiled and said softly: "Why do you and me have a distinction between you and me?"

Xue Shao nodded and smiled.

"By the way, I didn't tell you in advance, but did it first." Princess Taiping said, "Yesterday, I came to the door to invite Pei Yan to the banquet on your behalf!"

"Oh?" Xue Shao was slightly surprised, "Then Pei Xingjian will come later..."

"Don't worry, there will be no abruptness." Princess Taiping smiled strangely and kept her insincere. Obviously, she also knew all the things between Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan.

Xue Shao blinked, "Then I will believe you!"

"That's it!" Princess Taiping laughed and was quite proud.

A moment later, Zuo Fengchenwei and the people from the Martial Arts Academy became the first group of guests to come early, and some wives even brought their wives with them. They came early and also meant to help. But when they arrived, Princess Taiping sent so many people, how could they still need their help?

So a group of people laughed and said goodbye to Xue Shao, and made a name for the guest gift sheet, presented gifts, and were invited to the side hall to use tea to enjoy singing and dancing.

Many people came but they were all acquaintances. Xue Shao recognized them at a glance. Yuan Wanqing and Siyudao of the Martial Arts Academy, Guo Yuanzhen and Wei Yuanzhong; Zuo Fengchenwei was led by Li Xiaoyi, and Zhou Jitong and most of the sixth-rank Qianniu came.

Of course, Li Xiantong and several of his loyal fans did not come. But it didn't matter.

Xue Shao's in-laws also came, and accompanied Xue Shao to help him receive guests.

A moment later, the Xue Chuyu brothers came. Xue Rengui had five sons, the eldest son Xue Na, and Xue Chuyu ranked fifth and was born in a illegitimate family. Among the five brothers, except for these two who work in the military, the other three were ordinary civil servants who did not gain a foothold in the capital.

Xue Ne brought his wife with him, and the two brothers presented a gift together, a dazzling array of glazed saddles. Of course, this is not a saddle for riding, but a "work of art" that military and martial arts people love. Although it is not worth a lot of money, it is also unique.

Xue Ne's name is Shenyan. He is in his early thirties, with a tall figure and a long beard, and he is full of force and force. According to the current aesthetic view of the Tang Dynasty, he is a standard handsome man, but his expression and temperament are very calm and restrained, and he is quite elegant.

Xue Ne worshipped Princess Taiping, Xue Yan and others one by one, walked to Xue Shao and bowed, "Zhongmen Gate Xue, congratulations to Mr. Xue for his promotion!"

"Brother Shenyan doesn't have to be too polite." Xue Shao returned the courtesy and smiled and said, "Since you and I are my brothers, I should have visited the door long ago. Unfortunately, I have been busy with mundane affairs, so I have been delaying it. It was not until today that I invited my brother to the banquet. It was such a rude!"

"Young Master is so polite!" Xue Na hurriedly said, "Young Master Meng has to take care of me and help my fifth brother. Xue Na should have come to thank you for a long time! If you have any advice in the future, my brothers will never refuse!"

"Okay, please rest in the inner hall. I will personally drink it for my brother later!" Xue Shao only said some polite words in front of everyone.

The Xue Ne brothers were introduced to the side hall by the eunuch and went to use tea.

Princess Taiping walked to Xue Shao and whispered: "You invited Xue Rengui's son to appear in public. Do you intend to invite Xue Rengui to come back?"

"Tsk tsk!" Xue Shao looked surprised and amazed.

"What are you talking about? "Prince Taiping said unhappily.

"Tsk tsk!"

"I'm stupid, I ignore you!" Princess Taiping rolled her eyes and walked aside again.

Xue Shao laughed loudly. Princess Taiping is really smart enough. She could guess my little thoughts!
