Attending the Banquet

"Isn't that right?" Lu Sheige pointed to the copper sign on the carriage behind.

Tang Jinming squinted at the sign pointed by Lu Shengge, and after a long time of identifying it, he still couldn't identify it.

Could it be that people in Jingzhong really use pig as their family emblem?

It can't be!

You must know that those who can have a family emblem in Beijing can only have it after the personal approval of the emperor. Not to mention the ordinary official family, even if his family has a family emblem, if it is not approved by the emperor, it will not be approved by the emperor.

I don’t dare to create a coat of arms on my own as a family emblem.

Tang Jinming said to himself: "It's strange that there are only a few families in Beijing with family emblems. I really didn't pay attention to the one with this shape."

Lu Sheige drew back his head and asked Tang Jinming to look carefully: "Could he be a new rich man?"

"There are only a few newly rich families, and they are all uncles I know..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already seen the head sticking out of the carriage behind him, and then he suddenly realized it, quickly retracted his head, and lowered the curtain of the carriage with his hand.

"Pfft..." Tang Jinming couldn't hold it back anymore, so he covered his mouth and laughed. When the laughter stopped, he said, "What pig? It's obviously a deer, okay? That's the emblem of Zhu's family, in the car.

Sitting there is Zhu Chengcai, son of uncle Zhu Xiaoguo."

When one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. This is not an exaggeration to say about the Zhu family.

Chen Quan's two uncles were originally a salesman who traveled around the countryside, and the other ran an oil mill in the countryside. When something happened to the Chen family, the two uncles wanted to find their nephew and send him to the official, let alone help.

But when Chen Quan became emperor in Beijing, the Zhu family immediately changed their attitude and went to the Empress Dowager Zhu every day to show their attentiveness.

When Chen Quan went to the countryside to pick up his mother, wife and children, the Zhu family followed him to Beijing. With the Queen Mother Zhu around, Chen Quan naturally couldn't ignore these two uncles, and the two uncles naturally became the uncles of the country.

He was given a mansion.

The Zhu family fled to Nanyang at first. Not to mention a family crest, they didn’t even have a family.

Now that the Zhu family has become a royal relative, their status has naturally increased. Seeing that several upstarts in the imperial court, such as Zhenguo Gongfu, Ningyuan Houfu, and Yongyihoufu, who are deeply favored by the saints in Beijing, all have family emblems. Uncle Zhu Daguo discussed with uncle Zhu Erguo,

Their family also needs to get a family crest.

Without a family emblem, there is no face. When the Zhu family wanted a family emblem, they also wanted face from the emperor's nephew.

However, the Zhu family has been impoverished for generations, and only the two brothers are considered to have a slightly better life.

They couldn't figure out what to use for this family emblem, so they simply went to Chen Quan.

Chen Quan has just established his empire and is so busy that he has no time to think about this.

I gave them the family emblem of Zhang Gefu for their reference, meaning that you should choose something that is not among these, so as not to compete with others.

Of course it can't be serious, and the two uncles of the country didn't agree.

Doesn't that mean letting people take advantage of their old Zhu family? It must not be the same.

After much selection, the brothers chose a deer. The homophone of deer is Lu, which symbolizes good luck and longevity and high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

After choosing, the Zhu family went to customize their family emblem. It should be on the carriage and embroidered on the clothes of the servants in the family.

Otherwise, if the Zhu family goes out and no one knows who you are, what should you do if you are bullied?

Who would have expected that this deer was chosen so well that the Heqing Prince's Palace was overweighted.

Prince Qing is Chen Quan's uncle, and his status is only higher than that of the Zhu family.

Prince Qing, who was Chen Quan's biological uncle, treated Chen Quan much better than his two uncles.

At least when something happened to Chen Quan, he didn't add insult to injury.

When Empress Shen was imprisoned, he also tried his best to take care of Chen Quan's family, especially the third prince. Twice he was in danger, and it was Prince Qing who paid for the doctor to treat him.

Chen Quan and Empress Shen still respect this uncle very much.

Chen Quan ascended the throne in the capital, and when he brought his mother to the capital, he issued an imperial edict to confer the title of Prince Qing on his uncle.

The family emblem of Prince Qing's Mansion was not requested by Prince Qing, but was given by Chen Quan's imperial pen.

But Mrs. Chen Quan is still here, my uncle is not so easy to mess with, and the Zhu family is not that easy to deal with.

The two families fought back and forth, and in the end Chen Quan made the decision. It would be fine if one deer had antlers and the other had no antlers.

As for whose family has horns and whose family has no horns, he doesn't show any favoritism. He decides by drawing lots and whoever is drawn wins.

Then, when the uncle Zhu family drew the deer, he had bad luck, and it was a deer without antlers.

Tang Jinming also didn't expect that even this deer without antler, Lu Shege could actually see it as a pig. If the people of Lao Zhu's family knew about this, they would be so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.

Not drawing an antlered deer that year had already made the Zhu family lose face, and they almost had no contact with Prince Qing's Mansion until old age.

Nowadays, people still mistakenly think that antlerless deer are pigs, and my uncle has to fight them desperately.

Outside, the coachman of Duke Zhenguo and the coachman of Uncle Guo's family refused to give in and were still arguing.

In the carriage, as soon as Tang Jinming said his family emblem, he went to make tea and didn't care about the noise outside.

Lu Xiuge listened to a few words and asked curiously: "You don't care?"

"What does it matter?" Tang Jinming pushed the brewed tea to Lu Xiange, "If there is Uncle Guo in the carriage, and I am a junior, wouldn't I have to give way as soon as I put my head out? Let them argue, we are not in a hurry anyway."

The carriage in the Duke's mansion was spacious and comfortable, and there were tea and snacks. Tang Jinming also pointed to the drawer on the side: "If you are bored, there is a storybook in it."

Although Lu Xiangge was curious about what storybook Tang Jinming was reading, she still didn't have the nerve to do anything: "Forget it, let's talk, I guess we won't quarrel for too long."

The two are not similar in age, but they are both well-educated and sensible people.

When Lu Shengge and Song Yunfei were talking, they always felt that the other party's IQ was not online, but when she and Tang Jinming were chatting, they knew both astronomy and geography.

Fortunately, the quarrel between the coachmen will not escalate into violence.

Soon the stewards of Prince Qin's Mansion crowded over, regardless of who was in the car. Whoever's car was in front would go first.

This way there will be no congestion and no delay in everyone’s time.

Although the Uncle Guo's Mansion was a little dissatisfied, probably the people who came to the Qin Prince's Mansion for the banquet were all prominent figures in the capital.

Your uncle's palace can't really block these royal relatives, princes and ministers in the middle of the road.

When the car entered the yard, Tang Jinming and Lu Sheige got out of the car.

Two men, two women, and four young people came down from the carriage of the uncle's house.

The leader was Zhu Chengcai, the son of Uncle Xiao Guo, followed by his sister Zhu Chengyun, and the other two were his uncle's cousin Liu Junjie and his cousin Liu Liu Wanru.

When Zhu Chengcai saw Tang Jinming, he immediately said angrily: "It turns out that the person blocking the road is the Crown Prince of the Duke of Zhen. I wonder who is so arrogant that he doesn't even know how to give way when he sees the carriage of the Duke's Palace."

Tang Jinming raised his hands and clasped his fists, then raised his head proudly: "I accept."

After saying that, he didn't care about Zhu Chengcai's expression and led Lu Xiangge away.

There were several carriages parked around, and those who got off and those who didn't got off all saw the attitude of the prince of Zhen Guogong's palace towards his uncle's palace.

Before tomorrow, the entire aristocratic family in the capital will know that the Duke's residence does not want to see the uncle's residence.
