Chapter 57: Court Etiquette

With worries in mind, Wang Sheng and Hong Xiu walked to the gate of Waizhuang.

Uncle Guangde and Zhao Zhuang led several tenants to block the door to prevent outsiders from coming in. The scene seemed a bit chaotic.

Looking at the person at the door, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not the gangster Yang Hong is looking for..."

"Mr. Lang, it's me. Jiang Yingyuan, let me in quickly. His Royal Highness is going to summon you."

Jiang Yingyuan?

Jiang Tong!

Wang Sheng took a closer look and found that the man in Confucian attire was indeed the Jiang Yingyuan who had a banquet at Longmen yesterday.

The prince summoned?

Didn't this happen too quickly?

"Uncle Guangde, brother Zhuang, you don't need to stop them, they are acquaintances."

acquaintance?

Uncle Guangde, Zhao Zhuang, made way for Jiang Yingyuan to come out.

Breaking free from the crowd, Jiang Yingyuan took a deep breath of air.

"Mr. Lang, what are you doing in this manor? We are not refugees in ragged clothes. Why are we not even allowed to enter the manor? But you tenants are too unruly."

"this..."

Uncle Guangde Zhao Zhuang's face was aggrieved, as if he was suffering something he couldn't express.

Wang Sheng smiled softly and said: "Ying Yuan has wronged them. There was a murder case in this manor a few days ago. I asked them not to let anyone in."

"I see."

Jiang Tong nodded lightly.

"Uncle Guangde, Brother Zhuang, thank you very much for what happened today. These are my friends. You should go back first."

Uncle Guangde nodded, bowed solemnly to Wang Sheng, and then withdrew.

After all the tenants had left, Wang Sheng asked, "Did Ying Yuan just say that the prince summoned me?"

Jiang Tong nodded, but at this time he was not in a hurry.

"It's not urgent. We'll wait until we get into the house. I'll introduce you to some people first."

At this moment, Wang Shengcai fixed his gaze on the few people behind Jiang Tong.

There are three boys and one girl in total.

Two of the men were wearing Confucian clothes, one was wearing a dark brown brocade suit, and the women were wearing a white skirt and a gauze hat on their heads.

Judging from their appearance, they don't look like ordinary people.

"they are?"

"Mr. sir, don't be impatient."

Jiang Tong walked up to the man in Confucian attire at the front and introduced: "This is Liao Wenmao, Cao of the ancestral hall. He specializes in teaching Rongzi how to behave."

"Wang Sheng has met Liao Caopu."

Liao Wenmao had a smile on his face. Although the young man in front of him was still white, he did not dare to put on official airs.

Anyone who can meet the prince will never be worse than him no matter how bad he is in the future.

"My husband is a man of great talent. If I go to see His Highness tomorrow, he will surely make a name for himself."

Wang Sheng chuckled, cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you so much to Cao Jiyan."

After greeting Cao Peng, the head of the temple, Jiang Tong led Wang Sheng to the woman wearing a gauze hat.

"This is Aunt Qing, the master of etiquette in the Prince's Palace. She is here to teach Lang Jun the etiquette in the palace."

"I've seen the etiquette master."

The latter nodded slightly.

Her face was covered by gauze, and Wang Sheng could hardly see the expression on her face.

After that, one of the two was the eunuch of the Crown Prince's palace, and he mainly told Wang Sheng what he needed to pay attention to when entering the palace, as well as the procedures to follow.

The other one was arranged by the temple department to check and fill in the gaps, to see if Liao Wenmao and Aunt Qing, the etiquette master, had missed anything that should be taught.

After listening to the introductions of these people, Wang Sheng realized how difficult it was to meet a prince.

"Hongxiu, take these three nobles to the wing and settle them down first."

Teaching Wangsheng etiquette cannot be completed in a short time. It will take a day and a night at the earliest.

These people are going to spend the night in Taoliu Garden tonight.

Wang Sheng was the one who wanted to see the crown prince. No matter whether it was the eunuchs in the palace or Aunt Qing, the master of etiquette who was a fourth-rank official, they didn't dare to show any face to Wang Sheng. They quickly followed Hongxiu to the side room.

After the three people left, Wang Sheng finally showed a bitter look on his face.

"Ying Yuan never told me that it would be so troublesome to meet the prince."

Jiang Tong laughed and said: "If we go to see the prince, we don't have to go through such a complicated process, but the prince doesn't know the etiquette in the palace, so we still need to learn a thing or two first. Besides, it is considered good that the prince is treated like this. Others

They all have to check the clan records and see if their wealth is innocent. If Mr. Lang can pass this test, it will be a great trust for His Highness."

He didn't believe Jiang Tong's nonsense.

What a huge amount of trust...

I'm afraid Jiang Tong already knew his net worth clearly at this time.

"Hey, we'll learn the palace etiquette later. Ying Yuan, let's go inside first and have a cup of tea."

Entering the main hall, Jiang Tong looked around, frowned slightly, and asked: "Although Langjun's manor is large, there is no one to serve it!"

Wang Sheng smiled and nodded.

"This manor was given to me by Brother Chu Zhong. He always brings his own slaves when visiting this manor, so there are no servants in the manor. I have been here not long ago and am immersed in books, so I haven't purchased any slaves yet."

"I see."

Jiang Tong nodded.

"If you, sir, want slaves, I have quite a few in my house and can give you some."

Wang Sheng shook his head gently.

"I'm afraid all the slaves in Ying Yuan's house are eldest, and it's hard to bring all the family members. I'm not familiar with the slave trade in Luoyang. Does Ying Yuan have anyone to recommend?"

Jiang Tong nodded.

"This business of buying and selling people is shady. There are only three companies in Luoyang who dare to do it."

Jiang Tong stretched out three fingers on his right hand.

"The largest family is owned by Li Yang, the governor of Youzhou. It is located in the northern suburbs of Luoyang. It trades slaves, foreigners, and beauties of all kinds."

"The second is Wei Wei Shi Chong, who trades slaves in the western suburbs of Luoyang. Most of the people he sells are slaves, and of course there are also foreigners."

"Similar to Wei Wei Shi Chong, it is the slave trading house of Gong Wangkai of Shandu County. The slave trading place is in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, and the regulations are the same as Wei Wei Shi Chong."

No wonder Jiang Tong said this was shady.

In fact, the business of trading slaves and maids is nothing, it is an upright business.

But after adding in the beautiful aliens and other projects, this business can only be a gray business in Luoyang.

Wang Sheng naturally did not dare to go to the slave trading house in Li Yang. In this case, he could only go to Wang Kai's or Shi Chong's.

These two people were competing for wealth. They even had to compete with each other to open a slave trading house. It was so terrifying.

"I wonder what Ying Yuan can recommend?"

Jiang Tong laughed and said, "I'll help you with this. Just wait at home."

Wang Sheng shook his head gently.

"Ordinary servants can ask Ying Yuan, but the manor guards cannot be so careless."

Jiang Tong was stunned for a moment and then said immediately: "It doesn't matter, I'll just go with you then."

"Thank you so much Ying Yuan."

With Jiang Tong leading him from the front, it was expected that those people would not dare to deliberately trick him.

Wang Sheng and Jiang Tong chatted for a while, and after Aunt Qing, Liao Wenmao and others arranged the affairs of the wing room, they followed Hongxiu to the main hall.

"Young Master, the etiquette in the palace is the most solemn and correct, and it is also the most difficult to learn. If you want to see His Highness tomorrow, you must start learning it now."

Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands towards Jiang Tong and said, "Ying Yuan, if that's the case, then I will learn etiquette from Aunt Qing. There are no servants in the manor. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

.”

Jiang Tong smiled.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not staying at Lang Jun's manor. I'll complete the task by bringing him over. Since Lang Jun wants to learn etiquette from Aunt Qing, I'll take the first step."

"Brother Ying Yuan, have a good trip."

Jiang Tong waved his hand and walked out of the main hall with a smile.

After Jiang Tong left, Wang Sheng followed Aunt Qing to a shaded open space in Neizhuang.
