The fifth day after Qi Bao arrived in Beijing was an auspicious day, and it was advisable to move the earth and move the grave, and avoid traveling far.

One purpose of Qi Yu's return to Daliushu Village was to pick up his younger brother to live with him in Shangjing, and the other purpose was to worship his ancestors.Naturally, because Father Qi has already separated from the Qi family, and the relationship with the Qi family is not close, especially after Qi's death, the Qi family even bullied Qi Bao when he was young, trying to occupy the Qi family's property .

For various reasons, after Qi Yu returned to Daliushu Village, he stayed at Qi Bao's house all the time, even when the old man from the main house, Qi's house, came, he shut the door behind closed doors.

The Qi family of the main family wants to move the tomb of the old man back to the main house, but the old man has a last wish and does not want to go back to the main family of the Qi family. This family is involved in any relationship.Because of Qi Bao's attitude, Qi Yu, who has always doted on Qi Bao, naturally dislikes seeing the Qi family, the main family.

Father Qi likes Daliushu Village and the big mountain behind his house. His grave is also in Daliushu Village, on the side of the mountain behind his house, where he was buried together with Qi Yu's grandma and Qi Bao's grandma.

This is Father Qi's dying wish, and it is also Qi Bao's wish.In his heart, although the Tao family brother can even be regarded as a continuation bought by Qi Lao, he really thinks that Qi Lao and his grandma really love each other.Their relationship is so warm and happy, which is the life Qi Bao has always envied.

Because of Qi's father's liking, Qi Yu naturally would not move his bones to the capital, so he only had a spirit.This is extremely trouble-free, as long as you find a coffin in Shangjing and engrave three tablets, and then find a day to put the tablets in the pre-built ancestral hall to receive the incense of the whole family.

Qi Bao participated in the whole process of the festival, and he could only describe the process with the word "cumbersome", and he could only describe himself with "death from overwork".

The royal family gave the Qi family the greatest honor. The little emperor personally ordered Father Qi to be conferred a rank five title. After Father Qi passed away, Father Qi's title was inherited by Qi Bao, a little baron of rank seven.This title has no actual rights, but it can enjoy five hundred taels of food and a salary of 200 taels a year, and can also be exempted from corvee service. Although Qi Bao really does not lack these few moneys, he got hundreds of taels of silver for nothing. I am also happy to be exempted from corvee.

So when the imperial decree said that he was required to enter the palace to thank him, Qi Bao said that there was no pressure.He even had a little bit of excitement and anticipation.

In the previous life, Qi Bao had seen the imperial palace countless times on TV, and he also wanted to visit the real imperial palace countless times, but he was always unable to do so due to various reasons.Naturally, Qi Bao also understood that there was no real reason that stopped him, but that he himself blocked himself.

There are many things that need to be prepared to enter the palace, the first is the dress that needs to be worn.Qi Bao is also a baron now, so he naturally wears the clothes that a baron should wear.Qi Yu took people to measure the size overnight, made a dress, and asked people to make more than a dozen winter clothes according to this size, and more than [-] sets of clothes for spring, as well as underwear, shoes and socks. Naturally, these are not in a hurry.

There is no need to specially prepare the hat and crown. There are regulations in this imperial court, and ready-made things are directly given along with the imperial decree.It's a little too big to wear on Qi Bao's head. Although Qi Bao is fat, he doesn't have a big head. To be honest, he only admits that he is rounder, although this kind of roundness is beyond doubt in the eyes of others A little fat man.

The clothes fit well, but there was a nondescript hat on his head. No matter how many people in the family looked at it, they thought it was ridiculous, but no one dared to laugh, especially Qi Bao was pouting and angry, although in fact It looks even cuter.

"When you enter the palace today, remember not to look up. When your elder brother kneels down, you should kneel down. If the Holy Majesty or the Regent has something to ask, remember to kneel down and answer. If you have a reward, you must also kneel down to thank you. Yesterday your brother Do you remember the etiquette I taught you?"

"Remember." In this evil feudal society, this evil system of kneeling and worshiping, Qi Bao can already foresee that the number of times he will kneel down in one day in this life is only a lot more than the sum of two lifetimes.Thinking of Xu Liu'er memorizing those court etiquettes at night like a law, Qi Baoguang's head felt dizzy.

Naturally, Xu Liuer didn't expect Qi Bao to learn so much etiquette in just a few hours, but just to talk about it, let Qi Bao have a general impression, and don't make too rude things at that time.If it was said that in the past it was for the sake of the face of the Qi family, but after meeting Qi Bao, it was no longer just for Qi Yu.

Qi Bao has such magical powers that people who have met him like him. Qi Bao deeply feels that this must have a lot to do with his body shape, and the second is his problem of giggling when he sees people.

"You must not look up, you know, even if the emperor or the regent asks you to look up, you don't want to look at their faces, you know?"

"I know, I know, my brother has said it five times."

Qi Yu patted his forehead with a smile, "You have the best idea, kid. I found out on the way here. I won't tell you a few more times, lest you get confused again."

Cough... Although I don't want to admit it, but what Qi Yu said is the truth, Qi Bao has no choice but to... Uh... continue to let Qi Yu torture his ears.

"Brother, I heard that the emperor is less than ten years old this year. Is it true?" Qi Bao had heard a lot of folk rumors. Now that he has the opportunity to verify it himself, he is naturally very curious. He inevitably wants to talk to his brother who knows the truth. Discuss and verify.

"Yes, after the new year, the emperor will be nine years old." Qi Yu smiled, showing a very satisfied look, and said: "Although the emperor is young, he is very studious and serious, and his temper is also kind. He has been on the throne for three years. There are too many, but you are studying every day, and you have to learn the art of governing the country from the regent at night. It is really not easy. Although His Majesty is young, he is very majestic. The so-called Tianwei must not be offended. Be curious, and don't look directly at Tianyan. Otherwise, you may lose your head, or at worst...the nine clans will be implicated."

Qi Bao rolled his eyes, but come on, his elder brother started to scare people again, he didn't believe that the little emperor and the regent would cut him off or blame the Qi family for his little disrespect.

Qi Yu saw Qi Bao's little action, and pretended to be angry and flicked his head, "Naughty again!"

This time, the Qi family was not the only one who entered the palace to express their gratitude. The families of several ministers with merits in the founding of the country had children who were granted titles. Speaking of which, only the Qi family, Qi Bao, had the lowest title.

Qi Bao followed Qi Yu and got off the carriage at the gate of the palace. Led by the servant who led the way, he walked through a road with only a tall city wall. After a cup of tea, he arrived at a gate that was only slightly smaller than the palace gate. In front of the solid wood-clad copper gate.The servant who led the way showed the sign in his arms to the guard who guarded the gate, and the guard slowly opened the gate.

Going further in, there are guards standing every two steps on both sides of the road, and every once in a while, teams of guards can be seen patrolling back and forth.

After walking around for a while, he came to a courtyard. The vermilion lacquered door was wide open. The servant stopped in front of the door, and bowed to invite the two brothers to go in by themselves.

Qi Yu led Qi Bao in, and Qi Bao took a slight step back, which was what his brother had reminded him before.The Tian Family cares most about the dignity of the Lord, so it is better to be careful.

After entering the yard, you can see that there are already some people waiting inside, and Qi Bao naturally doesn't know these people.But obviously, they are all old acquaintances of Qi Yu.

"General Zhenbian, your spirit is getting better and better."

"General Qi, I heard that you only returned to Beijing in the past few days?"

"Master Qi, is this your younger brother?"

"Old Qi! I'll be waiting for you."

……

"Master Li, it's been a long time since you last met, you've grown stronger and stronger."

"Master Zhang, is everything alright? I've been busy since I got back, and I'll visit you in a few days."

"It's my brother-in-law, Mr. Feng. This is your little six. He's really good. He's a good-looking talent."

"Old Xu, come and see my little brother. Come, Bao'er, I met your brother Xu, he is the eldest brother of your brother's family."

Qi Bao called "Big Brother" obediently, and Xu Muchuan smiled and said, "This is a petite guy, and he looks really festive, but he's not like your big brother, who has rough skin and thick flesh."

Qi Baoquan thought he was praising himself.

"Who did Lao Xu bring here? Why didn't your old man come?"

"The old man has been feeling bad these two days, and he is still talking about Liu'er. I was afraid that Liu'er was worried, and there were a lot of things in your house recently, so I didn't bother you. It's just that you go back today and look at Liu'er There is nothing wrong with his body, so I sent him a letter. He said that the old man missed him, and asked him to go back and have a look. Take your little brother, too. , the disease can be almost cured.”

"Okay, tomorrow I'll ask them to go and have a look at the old man. If there's anything missing at home, you can just mention it."

"I won't be polite to you, haha, don't worry."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Muchuan lowered his voice and whispered to Qi Yu: "It seems that the regent is going to move these veterans."

"The Prince Regent is getting impatient."

"It's time too." The two of them looked at each other and smiled after finishing speaking, without saying anything.

When Qi Yu and Xu Muchuan were talking quietly, the young man who had been standing beside Xu Muchuan cupped his hands at Qi Bao, "Xu Jibai met his uncle."

Uncle in law, Qi Bao really wants to know what this title means.

Because he didn't know him, and because of this strange name, Qi Bao decided to ignore him.

Seeing Qi Bao staring at him for a while, Xu Jibai turned his head and looked around curiously, as if he had never heard him speak.

Touching his nose, it seemed that he offended someone again, but where exactly did he offend him.Isn't the little fat man his uncle's younger brother? Then shouldn't he be called uncle? It's fine.

The two elders talked for a while before they realized that they brought their nephews. Xu Muchuan hurriedly caught Xu Jibai who was looking around behind him, "Stinky boy, haven't you seen your uncle? What's wrong?" Neither speak."

Xu Jibai said in his heart: It's not that you guys have been talking there all the time, how dare I interrupt, and I'm not courting death.Thinking so in his heart, Xu Jibai still bowed and saluted, "Jibai met uncle."

"Zhibai? From the third family? I haven't seen you in a few years, and you've grown up so much. When did you come back? I didn't go to the house to see it. Your uncle always talks about you."

"I've only been home for a few days, and I haven't had time to visit. How is uncle and dad? How are the brothers in the family?"

"It's all good. Go home when you're free and have a look at your uncle. Let your brothers show you around. Beijing has changed a lot in recent years."

Xu Muchuan also sighed with emotion, "But a lot has changed. Your little uncle has just arrived in Beijing not long ago, and it happens that you young people accompany you to wander around, which is much better than following us old men."

Qi Yu stared and said, "I'm not old! My Bao'er likes to be with me the most, so she won't hate me."

The three of them laughed in unison.
