Lu Yu put the decree away without disturbing anyone.
This kind of thing can be played as a trump card, and it can also be regarded as an unintentional gain.
"So, the Buddhist world should have been reopened. I wonder how the monkey is doing now?"
Lu Yu thought of that damn monkey, thought for a moment, and then stopped thinking.
This monkey has survived since ancient times and has become a complete old monster.
When I was with Lu Yu, I didn't know how many times I plotted against Lu Yu. It was extremely hateful.
However, although the monkey was unreliable, he also gave Lu Yu a lot of help. The two were not friends, but if they were colleagues, it would still be okay.
"Dear guest, I invite you."
Outside, the servant said respectfully.
Today is New Year's Eve, and in the evening, the whole family will get together.
The Xiahou family is not in the Imperial Capital, this is just the residence of Xiahou Li himself. Every New Year's Eve, members of the Xiahou family will come to this residence to spend the Spring Festival with the clan leader.
The imperial examination is held every three years, and this year happens to coincide with it. Xiahou Mansion has packed out hundreds of guest rooms to accommodate candidates from Xiahou Mansion who come to Beijing to take the exam.
Today was a grand gathering for family reunion, and Lu Yu was welcomed into the main hall.
At this time, many people were already sitting in the main hall, and they sat down in order of family members.
Generally speaking, the elders sit in the front, but as a cultivator family, they don't necessarily have to follow the formal etiquette. There are some young and powerful people who also sit in the front.
Lu Yu saw Long Yunshan's figure in the eyes of these people.
She was chatting with another young man from the Xiahou family. The two were holding wine glasses and chatting and laughing happily.
At this time, people were arriving one after another, and Lu Yu's appearance did not attract the attention of others.
"I can just find a place by myself." Lu Yu said calmly.
After all, this was a family banquet at the Xiahou Mansion. He was an outsider and could just act as a spectator.
The servant smiled and said: "The master has already arranged a place for you. The distinguished guest should come according to the master's arrangement, otherwise the steward will reprimand the young one again."
Lu Yu asked: "Where is Mr. Hou?"
"Master went to the Ministry of War on errands this morning and will be back later." The servant said respectfully.
Xia Houli has now been granted the title of Marquis and has greater real power. He has to deal with extremely heavy official duties every day. Even during the Chinese New Year, he still needs to complete his errands before coming back.
Lu Yu nodded, expressing understanding.
He didn't intend to embarrass this servant. Since he was in the Xiahou Mansion, everything should be obeyed by the master's arrangements.
"Dear guest, please!" The servant guided Lu Yu.
Unexpectedly, he led the way in front and actually led Lu Yu to a seat next to the main seat and on the same level as the main seat!
This is the center of the entire main hall. In the past, only Xia Houli was qualified to sit here.
Now there is an extra flush chair, which is puzzling to begin with.
Many of the Xiahou family's children were still puzzled when they first arrived here, muttering about who was working there.
Some people guessed that he was a big shot in the military, while others guessed that he might be a certain master.
But no one expected that it would be a young man like Lu Yu who walked up!
In an instant, the originally noisy voices in the entire main hall immediately became quiet.
Countless eyes were all focused on Lu Yu.
"You slave, how did you do this? You lead the wrong person. Do you want to embarrass this clan brother?" someone yelled.
