"Tan, Minister of War, sent someone to congratulate General Chen on the move, and a bottle of tiger bone wine in Jinhua!"

"Ji, General Qi of Ji, came to welcome General Chen to move in a house, and He Qilin's tattooed sword!"

"Changping General Yang, sent the sergeant general to congratulate him in person, and gave him a hundred taels of platinum in the house to move to the house!"

"The right supervisor of the Imperial Horse, Chen, came to welcome General Chen to move in a house, and a set of He Su porcelain pots!"

On the day Chen Mu officially moved into the Beijing mansion, the people who gave gifts far exceeded his imagination, and gave him a deeper understanding of the etiquette of welcoming and seeing off the people. The generals who were not in the capital sent people to give gifts, and he didn't even know how those people knew that he lived in his new home.

The Ministry of War officials, including Wu Dui, were from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, and seven were from the people to the gifts. One from the Ministry of Rites came uninvited and brought pies outside Donghua Gate. No one from the Ministry of Personnel came but three sent people to give gifts. One from the Ministry of Justice sent someone to tell me about this but couldn't leave, and also gave some small things.

Especially the Jinyiwei, the Jinyi commander Xu Jue, who was not big or small, came in person, and eight Jinyi Thousand Households. Not only did these people give gifts, they also wore the most beautiful clothes, making the house look like Xu Jue said that he had turned on the light market, and he embroidered flying fish and bullfighting everywhere.

In addition, the two neighbors of the royal palace also had the Huitong Hall on Wangfu Street. Many of the guild halls sent people to send gifts. In some places, adults even came to him, filling up the house he thought was very big. Even Zhang Yongshou and Shao Xing and Shao Yong had to wait outside, exhausting the slaves in the family. If it weren't for the family soldiers, they would not be able to serve them at all.

There is no way. Some old men must be invited into the front hall and cannot sit outside, for example, Shen Shixing, the Minister of Rites.

It's the pie he brought.

Sometimes people's relationships are not as close as they appear on the surface, but they have to do so due to the times. For example, Xu Jue, who looks like the second male owner at Chen Mu's house, has too many strangers at home. Some people, Chen Mu cannot even distinguish between the size of the official position and the seats, and it depends entirely on Xu Jue's guidance.

As a result, the Jinyi commander who had just come to give a gift on the way is now whispering in Chen Mu's ear like a male owner.

Sometimes it is not a problem to arrange seats according to the color of the clothes, but sometimes it cannot be entirely based on grade.

"Although this is a fifth-rank official, he is the director of the Ministry of War Cao Bangfu, which needs attention. Moreover, Cao Bangfu is a confidant of Gao Xinzheng, so he must be arranged at the first table outside the hall."

"Although this is the sixth-rank Xingtaipu Temple Chief, he is in charge of horse politics and has to be on the front. It depends on him for the future to raise horses."

"My brother, you can't let that ninth grade person go back and sit two tables with fifth grade person. He? He doesn't have much power, he is in charge of the Jiaofangsi. You said there are not many girls around you, well, you understand what brother means."

Chen Mu was so angry that he had to take care of all aspects inside and out. The officials in the hall didn't need to take care of him. In fact, no one of those people came here really needed him to accompany him, just to add a scene. Now the hall was playing the high-priced musician from famous buildings in the capital, playing the dragon, flute, and phoenix to enjoy the guzheng.

Then Xu Juetian walked to the position of the fifth-rank official with his belly, frowned and said to Chen Mu, "This fifth-rank official should sit at the ninth-rank... He is not a fifth-rank official in our court, but from the Huitong Pavilion."

It was a young man from North Korea, polite and although his movements were a bit old-fashioned, it was indeed more polite than many Ming Dynasty officials that Chen Mu had seen. When he saw the master coming, he quickly stood up to salute and spoke in a standard official speech of the capital: "Congratulations to General Chen for moving in. Foreign minister Liu Chenglong had no idea how to give it to him. He only gave a pair of maternal maternal dressing boxes. I hope the general will not be surprised."

It seemed that this gift made him feel undecent, and he took out a small, exotic wooden dressing box from his big sleeves with a little shyness and presented it with both hands.

Liu Chenglong?

Chen Mu had two questions in his mind. The first question was who his wife was. Of course, this didn't matter. There was no need for a dressing box for the thirty cannons in Xiaoxiying; the second was why the future prime minister of North Korea appeared in the Ming Dynasty at this time and sat in his yard.

And, so young.

Liu Chenglong is only three or four years older than Chen Mu.

"Hahaha!" Compared to Chen Mu's cautiousness, Xu Jue could be said to be particularly rude. He raised his head and laughed, even raised his hand to point at Liu Chenglong and smiled at Chen Mu, "Brother Xu doesn't know that you have a wife!"

Xu Jue is a person who is used to being rude. Who can walk in the middle when a serious person walks? But after he said this funny sentence, Liu Chenglong's fair face turned red.

Chen Mu was a little confused when he looked at Liu Chenglong because he thought of someone and something in his mind, but just a moment when he was thinking about something, there was a burst of laughter around him. Sometimes it doesn’t matter whether a joke is funny. If the person who tells the joke is very important and he laughs, then everyone will laugh.

For example, when Jinyi commander Xu Jue laughed, the fifth and sixth rank officials around him would laugh because his status seemed to be much more important than a general or a foreign minister.

Chen Mu also laughed. He curled the corners of his mouth and didn't make a sound. He took the dressing box handed over by Liu Chenglong in a laugh, and didn't even put it away. He opened the dressing box and looked carefully. He smiled. Then he solemnly said to Liu Chenglong: "Thank you, I am Chen Mu. I like the gift you gave to my wife very much. She will also like it. In a few years, because Chen doesn't have a wife yet."

"Mr. Chen has a ruthless request. Can you give me another one?" Chen Mu ignored the inappropriate laughter just now and said to Liu Chenglong very seriously: "I hope I can give it to Mrs. Ru, please be sure to give me another one."

As he said that, Chen Mu took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Liu Chenglong, who was left behind for giving him a gift, and said, "This knife has been on the battlefield with Chen to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty. I will give it to you. I hope you can use it to defend your monarch in the future."

Chen Mu's behavior was inconsistent with etiquette, which made the powerful people around him look at him. Xu Jue was puzzled. Even officials whispered to each other and sneered in a low voice, but it also made Liu Chenglong's face even redder, and his eyes were also slightly red, as if they were about to shed tears.

Liu Chenglong, who came from a famous family in North Korea, could feel Chen Mu's attention. Such kindness generally felt that the Ming Dynasty, where he was inferior, was extremely rare.

At this moment, the welcoming gong outside the gate sounded, and the soldiers who read the gift seemed to stutter and sang aloud.

"Ti, the Admiral East Factory, the Supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the Governor Feng personally came and presented him with a handwritten calligraphy and painting..."

Before the family soldiers had finished reporting, the Jing army had already walked in with a large painting of green water and green mountains, stalking with their heads raised, and they went into the room without any inquiries. The officials in the courtyard stood up to attend the court, kneeling down and bowing.

Amid the flying fish and bullfighting, the eunuch in the python-clothed and unicorn-clothed clothes showed confusion, and his brows frowned slightly to look at the person standing still standing while kneeling.

Chen Mu bowed and finished the ceremony.
