Chapter 560 I'm Too Difficult
In the capital, all major families, officials, and nobles are very particular about the New Year's wine during the New Year.For a few days of banquet, who to entertain, what kind of dishes to serve, what kind of tea to serve, what kind of tableware to set, and which troupe to invite are all carefully selected and extremely cautious.It is necessary to talk about ostentation, not to be rude to the guests, and not to be too extravagant to attract attention.

The Xue family is a merchant, so they are naturally rich.However, in recent years, the Xue family has continuously received the attention of the emperor and several elder brothers, and his family has also done a few things that caused a sensation in the capital.Not for anything else, even if the Xue family is so favored now, it is enough to make these families in the capital interested in the Xue family.

During the Chinese New Year, Xue's family can't just walk around with relatives like in previous years. Their family's New Year's wine posts are scattered like snowflakes, and there are unprecedented numbers of people who come. Throughout the first month, Xue Hong is busy entertaining guests. You have to knead for a long time to relieve the muscle soreness on your face.Didn't you say that the action of laughing will only affect the three nerves on the face?Why are you still so tired?

Seeing Xue Hong was so tired sitting on the armchair rubbing his neck, Tang Jiu hurried forward to give him a massage: "Second Master has been exhausted this month, right? Tomorrow is the first day of February, so it's not a big deal. Rest well at home. The day after tomorrow, February [-], my wife said that I would go to the temple to fulfill my vows, and you will have to work hard all day."

Xue Hong listened and nodded: "Well, I see. You don't have to wait here anymore. It's not easy to follow up these days. Go down and rest. I'll read a book for a while and then go to bed by myself. gone."

Tang Jiu and others nodded knowingly, and all the maids and servants retreated.Xue Hong was really tired, he stepped into the space, prepared to take a good rest in the attic in the space, and also needed to organize his thoughts.

For the past month, the two brothers of the Xue family have worked together in a division of labor. Xue Pan is in charge of managing the vegetables in the greenhouse and the operation of various stores, and Xue Hong follows Xue Yi to receive the constant stream of guests at home every day.

Xue Hong has really learned a lot. It turns out that there are so many people in the capital.Except for those famous in history, whom he could hear about, there were too many big and small Beijing officials to enumerate.These days, he got to know some officials very well.Because the Xue family was well-known, apart from some Qingliu officials, there were also many people who had followed the prince and the eighth master.

Although most of them are sycophants, not all of them are useless.As for the news in this regard, you only need to inquire about it a little bit to know a thing or two.The Xuanyi Building in Xue Hong's hands does not rely solely on Xinxin, a spirit mouse. Those recruited from the Jianghu have undergone systematic training, so it is no problem to go out to inquire about some simple information.

Regarding the useful information collected by Xuanyi Building during this period, combined with some officials Xue Hong has received in the past month, he sorted out a detailed form, which clearly stated those people's past experiences, special abilities, Character and character, can it be wooed or rearranged in what position.

Naturally, all these efforts are done in the space, where there is abundant aura and plenty of time, even if the brain is used for a long time, it will not be too tiring, and the time outside the space is not used much.

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Hong looked at the thick pile of rice paper in front of her, and shook her arm that was slightly sore from writing, feeling a burst of emotion in her heart.

It turned out that it was not easy to be an official in the Qing Dynasty.Not only must you have the ability to do the duty of an official, but also cater to the preferences of the superiors. You must not accidentally offend someone who cannot be offended. Life.

It is also necessary to find out the distribution of forces in all aspects and the relationship between characters.Be careful at all times, for if you make a mistake, it may lead to catastrophe.

Emma~ so tired!When I first signed the contract with the system, I thought it would be fun to be an official, but this is simply a trap!I am too difficult!
Looking at the dense and beautiful space scene in front of him, Xue Hong felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Now, what's the use of complaining?
After sorting out all the materials, Xue Hong felt a little hungry.

"Hmm... I've been having a banquet recently, and I've eaten a lot of meat dishes, but I haven't had a good meal of seafood for a long time. Now I'm hungry and I want to eat it even more. Well, it's time for the teeth-beating festival..."

Xue Hong was just muttering to herself here, when she suddenly heard a voice very close to her ear: "Really? Do you want to make something delicious again?"

"Emma, ​​what are you doing? Shock me!"

Xue Hong was really frightened, turned around and saw Xinxin found a comfortable place on his shoulder, and the anger in his stomach was almost gone.Human, how can you care about a rat?
Xue Hong walked to the Lingquan with a dark face, and asked Xuanhong to bring up some delicious food.He knew that besides his own five internal organs temple, he had to feed a few others, so Xue Hong made a lot and shared it with his spiritual pets.

After drinking and eating, Xue Hong adjusted his breathing for a few weeks, and then went to rest.

"Second Master...Second Master, are you up yet?"

Xue Hong really slept for quite a long time this time, Tang Jiu saw that it was almost noon, so she came over to call him, Xue Hong went to have dinner with her parents after washing up, and after lunch, he went to his father Xue Yi's study.

Although Xue Yi was only a small official in his early years, he has been in business for many years and has seen countless people. He also knows a lot about the temperament and temperament of these individuals in the officialdom.

About two hours later, Xue Hong refreshed some information again, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, we haven't been busy for a month. After Ming'er has fulfilled his wish with his mother, I will go to report to Prince Yong. This matter."

Xue Yi smiled and said: "I'm afraid you can afford to wait, but the prince can't afford to wait. You can go to my desk and have a look. The post inviting you to Prince Yong's mansion for a banquet on February [-]nd will be published during the Lantern Festival." It’s here. Tomorrow, you can do your own work, and your mother will be accompanied by your brothers and sisters, so it doesn’t matter.”

Xue Hong couldn't say anything after hearing the words, since Prince Yong wanted to see him, he would naturally go.

In the early morning of the next day, Xue Hong took care of everything and went to Prince Yong's mansion. In the mansion, he met Princess Ruyi.

"Hong'er, are you here? I know you're coming today, so I asked Ama to bring you to me. I'm afraid the library will be built for another half a year, but many students in the folk are looking forward to the opening of the library. I think Now, since all the books are kept in your place, how about borrowing your shop to make a study temporarily, would you like it?"
