Chapter 231： Guess why

Chapter 231 Guessing the reason

In Tonghua County, the Murong family is a big family, but if you look at the entire Dachang, it is nothing.

Because of the relationship with Mr. Qiu, ordinary nobles are still polite to their family, but those veteran nobles will not make friends with them.

Their family belonged to the imperial merchants, as the so-called scholar-peasant industry and commerce, the merchants' status was extremely low, and the three generations of merchants could not take scientific examinations.

Earn a certain amount of money and have a certain social status, and you will become a merchant.

Opening a small vendor on the street is an ordinary person, and opening a small shop is also an ordinary person. If you want to make a big business, you have to go to the government to make a document, so you need to change to a business registration.

But the royal merchants are different. They have no restrictions on participating in scientific examinations, but the tax they pay will be 20% heavier than that of ordinary merchants. Even so, they can make a lot of money.

Murong Run couldn't make up his mind, so he simply took the post to find his father.

"Father, the boy received this invitation, but I don't know how to respond." Murong Run handed the invitation to Master Murong.

"You're so old, you should be sensible, and you should handle the trivial matter of the invitation by yourself. Why did you come to ask Dad?" Master Murong said, while still taking the invitation, and he saw clearly how many times he looked up. It's a big bronzing character, and I almost didn't hold it steady.

"Yongguo Gongfu?! Run'er, why did the Yongguo Gongfu send you an invitation?"

Murong Run shook his head: "I don't know either."

This is a very simple invitation, which is to invite Murong Run to Wanning City as a guest. It is a chrysanthemum banquet scheduled in two months.

The time for the signing of the invitation card is already a month ago, and it must have been sent quickly, but there is plenty of time.

There is no specific inviter, but it is said that he is inviting Mr. Murong Run from the Murong Mansion, and the signature is the official seal of the Yongguo Mansion.

is like an invitation from the government to him.

Master Murong felt a toothache: "I'm afraid this is not fake?"

Murong Run was even more uncertain.

"You still take it and ask your grandfather." Master Murong said.

So, Murong Run took the invitation card to Qiu Mansion again, and Mr. Qiu took the invitation card and looked at it for a while.

Looking at Murong Run's expression is also a bit complicated: "Run'er, think about it carefully, before you went to Nanhe Town, did you encounter any special people or things?"

Murong Run thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "It's really gone, I told you before. Grandpa, is there a problem with this invitation?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. This is the seal of the Duke Yong's government. The handwriting is also the handwriting commonly used by their housekeepers. It's not a random imitation." This is what Mr. Qiu felt puzzled about.

Yongguo Gongfu is different from other nobles, their family generally does not interact with other nobles, and they are very low-key.

In particular, there were two queens in their family, but there has never been any foreign relatives intervening in politics, and no one in the court was an important minister.

Duke Yong used to be a general who went into battle to kill the enemy. After he retired, he also raised flowers and birds with peace of mind. Some children had never even heard of his name.

The Murong family is also very low-key, especially under the beating of Mr. Qiu, they did not get involved too much with those princes and nobles.

In this case, why did the Duke of Yongguo send out invitations?

Or to Murong Run who is far away in Tonghua County?

Murong Run suddenly widened his eyes: "Grandpa, could it be—"

Mr. Qiu also reacted, and if there was anything they could do for Xungui outside to notice, it was only the fruit that Murong Run came back to send.

Mr. Qiu packed two copies and gave one to the Taifu who is still in the post today, his former colleague.

Another copy of    was given to Mr. Qiu's youngest daughter in the palace, who is now Concubine Jing.

Because before that, Concubine Jing once came to the house with a letter saying that she had a poor appetite and wanted to eat some hometown flavors.

Mr. Qiu took pity on his daughter and asked Mrs. Qiu to bring a copy into the palace.
