Man Bao and Bai Shan couldn't help but persuade him, "Since adults can think that you are going to be released, then you must be on the list."

Liu Huan was still very depressed. How could he forget to read his name?

The three of them hurried back to the official department.

The people at the top of the list have all dispersed. There are no fools who can pass the civil service exam. They just don’t have connections. It would be good to take the opportunity to wander around the civil service and get to know a few more people.

There is something to be said for selecting officials later, right?

So everyone dispersed.

Bai Shan and the others could walk 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 pointed at the spot and said, "Look, it's here."

Bai Shan and Liu Huan immediately went up to take a look. When they saw the two characters "Liu Huan" on it, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Shan said: "Look, we didn't lie to you, did we?"

Li Maoyue stood in the corridor and looked at the three of them. After a long while, he coughed speechlessly and asked: "Master Zhou, Mr. Bai, isn't there a banquet at your house today? Why don't you go back at this time?"

Man Bao raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, and confidently said to Li Shangshu: "It doesn't matter, everyone is still going to the Yamen at the moment, so they must not have gone."

Li Maoyue looked at her for a long time, said "Oh" and then said: "I just came out of the palace. Even Mr. Wei told His Majesty that he would end his political affairs early and go ask you for a glass of water and wine. So in the palace

The Umrah has ended."

Only then did Man Bao remember, yes, the results are released today. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Maoyue will definitely attend the small court meeting. He is here now...

Man Bao stared, pulled Bai Shan and turned around to leave.

Bai Shan hurriedly bowed to Li Shangshu and followed him out immediately.

Liu Huan was a little afraid of these old men who were about the same age as his grandfather, so he smiled favorably to Li Shangshu and ran after them.

Man Bao stood on the avenue with a confused look on his face, "Do you think we should go back to entertain the guests immediately, or should we go to the palace to pick up Bai Er quickly?"

Bai Shan had already pulled her to the palace, "Let's go, today is a happy event for three families, not just one. My uncle and aunt came here from Changqing Lane early this morning."

Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai arrived in the capital just a few days ago. Their luggage was left at Zhou's residence, but they were temporarily staying at Changqing Lane.

Because the eldest son and his wife lived there, they also lived there to see their grandson.

Except for Zhou Lang and his wife, who stayed in their hometown, and Zhou Lang, who was buying tea, everyone else in the old Zhou family was also in the capital.

Most of the people Zhou Man invited were colleagues and ladies who got along well with each other after getting to know each other in Beijing, and there were even more people from the Bai family.

So this time, the banquet was actually divided into two parts. One part was the relatives of the Zhou family and the relatives of the Bai family.

Ever since Bai Shan passed the imperial examination the year before last, Longzhou had been in contact with their family. Not only Bai Shan, but also Bai Erlang's branch had been ranked high in the clan.

Not to mention that this time Bai Shan and the others came back from the Western Regions and were directly granted the title of baron and viscount, and their towns were all in Longzhou. Although it was not a big city with only a few villages, it was enough to shock Bai.

So they arrived in the capital two months earlier, waiting to attend the Bai family's celebration banquet.

With their arrival, some of the Bai family's in-laws also appeared, so the Bai family had more guests.

Originally, if they didn't have an invitation, it would be useless to come, but my family sent me a greeting in advance.

After Mrs. Liu thought deeply, she thought about the property that was still in Longzhou, so she agreed. Not returning home in rich clothes is like walking at night in rich clothes. Since they came to the door on their own initiative, they put on their most beautiful clothes and took them with them.

Treat them to their best food.

She had to take back everything that had been taken from her.

So Mrs. Liu made a lot of posts specifically for them.

She took on all the management of the banquet. Lao Zhoutou and Qian wanted to share some of the responsibility at first, but after seeing what Mrs. Liu had distributed, they stopped talking and simply left it all to her.

A family like theirs is particular about which cups and cups are used at each table, but Lao Zhoutou and Qian didn't even know who was 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, so they called the children and gave them to Mrs. Liu to take care of them, asking her to just give them orders if she had anything to do.

Go ahead and do it, just let them decide the idea, they will be responsible for the work.

Mrs. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and agreed with Old Zhoutou Qian, turned around and started using Wu Lang and others.

When Lao Zhou saw it for the first time, he was happy and thought that Mrs. Liu was really a family member with them and would not see anyone outside.

Mrs. Liu also said to Mrs. Zheng: "The in-laws are also generous. This is Zhou Zhai, and Manbao is one of the protagonists, but he can leave everything to us to take care of it. He will not be calculative like other families. In the future, you

If you give Manbao and his family the responsibility, you should also get along well with your in-laws, as they are all easy to talk to."

Zheng agreed obediently.

Anyway, there were a lot of people here today, and the Bai family members were the most numerous among them, so Bai Erlang, one of the protagonists, had to show up with them no matter what.

So Manbao and the others stood at the entrance of the palace, found a chamberlain, and asked him to go to the Chongwen Pavilion to send a message, and asked Bai Erlang to clean up and come out quickly. He asked for leave yesterday and should have come out early in the morning. He must have slept in.

The three of them 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 and turned to look to the other side. She was tired from walking. She didn't want to walk so far to Chongwen Hall.

The three of them waited for a long time, and it was almost half an hour before Bai Erlang came out. However, he was not alone, but a large group of people. In addition to his classmates who also asked for leave to go out for a drink with him, there were also Princess Changyu and Mingda.

Princess.

Princess Mingda said seriously: "We are going to Huguo Temple to offer incense."

Man Bao nodded blankly.

After everyone got on their horses and everyone got on the carriage, Manbao rode after them and quietly got into the carriage of the two princesses.

The princesses' guards and maids turned their heads to the side and pretended not to see.

Man Bao and Ming Da crowded together and asked, "Why did you come out early?"

Changyu pointed at Mingda and said, "Ask her."

Mingda said embarrassedly: "I wanted to give the gifts I prepared for you to Bai Er to take back. Who knew that just as we were talking, my cousin and the others came. As soon as they heard that we were also going out of the palace, they came together.

Already."
