Today, Guo Dan has personally experienced what "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce" is.

In fact, it is actually "scholars" and "others".

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

In fact, this has nothing to do with Guo Dan. He did not promise to perform or sit in the backyard of the palace to eat. With his profiteering, he does not have to worry about this god. After all, his butt determines his head. He himself is a businessman. He tries to fight for better treatment for merchants, but in fact he is also doing his own.

Having said that, the palace is so big that if you really want to move a place, you won’t be able to move it out.

It can be seen how humble the status of a businessman is.

In the next few days, he began to get busy.

Fortunately, Kou Weisha is a good wife, helping him relieve a lot of burden.

After being busy for several days, it can be regarded as the ceremony of enthronement.

The willful Wanli directly announced that it would take three days off and lifted the curfew.

This is actually not in the rules and regulations. After all, it is either the enthronement of the queen or the crown prince, or the Wanli is unhappy with the opposition of the ministers. The more you oppose, the more I want to do it. Anyway, it is difficult for the emperor to commit suicide, so you ministers may not be sure. In the game between the emperor and the ministers, each has its own advantages. The emperor can withstand it, and the ministers are constantly coming, killing one group after another.

The people care about who is the imperial concubine, but everyone is happy to lift the curfew, and the merchants are happy. No matter how the censors shout and scold them, the capital city is still a sea of ​​joy.

Just after midnight, there was a long queue in front of a small gate west of the imperial city. When I got closer, I saw that everyone in the team was full of gorgeous clothes and gorgeous clothes, and they were just standing in front of the small gate, which was a little inconsistent.

Because the enthronement ceremony is very inhumane, it started at dawn and was already preparing before dawn, so these special guests naturally had to come early.

"Nephew Guo!"

As soon as Guo Dan got off the carriage, he heard a shout. Looking through the fire on the wall, Zhou Feng was waving towards him.

"No noise inside and outside the imperial city."

A eunuch in front of the door whispered loudly.

Zhou Feng shivered in fear and immediately nodded and bowed again. Although Zhou Feng knew many officials, so what? He was just a businessman.

Guo Dan walked over, and many people greeted him, and he nodded.

When he arrived in front of Zhou Feng, Guo Dan asked with a smile: "You are here so early?"

Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "This is to enter the palace. Of course, you have to come early. If you come late, you may not be able to enter."

Guo Dan nodded and looked up again, "Wow! This door is a little too small, it's almost caught up with the dog hole."

Just that door, I really can only pass one person at a time, and neither of them can squeeze in.

Zhou Feng said behind him: "What are our identities? If we can let us enter, it is already a great emperor's grace. How can we still think that the door is small?"

Guo Danning looked at him and saw that this person was a famous jewelry merchant in the capital, Duan Juyi. He thought to himself, if I had known that you had this mentality, why would I be so tired these days? Alas... I was really troubled by me!

After chatting for a few moments, he walked straight to the door. He was not here to attend the enthronement ceremony, but to work, so naturally he didn't need to line up.

As soon as I arrived in front of the team, I saw a wealthy businessman throwing ten taels of silver into a basket, then nodded and bowed: "Thank you, father-in-law!"

The father-in-law at the door looked contemptuous, glanced at the basket, and then said, "Get in."

"Thank you, thank you."

Day! Have to give money?

Guo Dan quickly stopped the car, took out his wallet, counted it, a total of three taels, and was still paying for living expenses. He thought, he must give it ten taels! He walked forward with a little nervousness.

A little eunuch immediately stopped him and said, "What are you doing? Line up."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "I am Guo Dan, the son-in-law of Kou Jiayaxing. The inner minister asked me to come in early."

"Oh, it turns out to be the son-in-law of the Kou family!"

The father-in-law at the door said justice: "Let him in."

It turns out that I don’t even give money. Guo Dangang raised his foot and was about to step into the threshold.

"Ahem!"

The father-in-law suddenly coughed twice, then glanced at the basket.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot!"

Guo Dan threw all his monthly living expenses into it.

"Ahem!!"

The father-in-law's coughing sound became even more rapid, and he heard him whine without hesitation: "Oh! He is old now, and he can't even breathe."

A little eunuch inside the door immediately came forward and said, "My father-in-law, you have to pay attention to your health!"

At the same time, the door was blocked.

You eunuchs are really hateful. They are not satisfied with each other. This is my monthly living expenses! Guo Dan held back his anger and smiled: "This father-in-law, I don't know the rules when I was young, so I don't have so much money on him."

The father-in-law glanced at the team without saying a word.

The meaning is very obvious, just Jie.

Guo Dan really didn't expect that Zhang Cheng's name was so bad.

This time it was embarrassing!

At this time, Zhou Feng walked up, threw ten taels of silver in, and said with a flattering smile: "I'll give him this money."

In this way, the father-in-law let him go and asked him, a eunuch, to take him to find Zhang Cheng.

Although Guo Dan was a little annoyed, he would not bother with a eunuch, because he knew he was not careful. He was very busy every day and had to accompany his wife if he was not busy. These eunuchs were thinking about how to mess with people every day. This was their profession, so he even said sorry and walked in. He really couldn't afford to offend him.

"Oh! Guo Dan, why are you here so late? Our family is very busy today and can't take care of you."

When Zhang Cheng saw Guo Dan, he immediately complained.

Guo Dan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm so sorry for the inner minister. I didn't know that I had to give money to enter the door. I didn't bring so much money on me, so I delayed at the door for a while."

Zhang Cheng even said dissatisfied: "You kid is usually very smart, why don't you even understand these rules? Isn't you looking down on us?"

"How dare I do this!" Guo Dan explained hurriedly.

He actually intended to complain, thinking that Zhang Cheng would help him, but he didn't know that he had kicked the iron plate.

It turns out that collecting money is actually an unwritten rule in the palace. Even if you call it from the emperor, you have to give it to it. As the leader of the eunuch, Zhang Cheng certainly supports it, because he dares to break this rule, and all the eunuchs in the palace will no longer support him. You are destroying our jobs!

The previous few times Guo Dan entered the palace, and he walked all the way to the gate. The imperial guards were guarding him, so he didn't need to pay the money, which led to Guo Dan not developing this good habit.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng really didn't have the time to teach Guo Dan a lesson. As the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Silijian, he was responsible for all this matter. He arranged for an eunuch to help Guo Dan and then left.

Today, Guo Dan is mainly responsible for the painter and the evening banquet, so he first went to the painter's area.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Lizhi and Liu Xumou were already sitting in their seats.

"Huh? When did you come? Why didn't you see you just now?"

Guo Dan stepped forward and asked.

Liu Xunmou yawned and said, "We didn't come in from the same place, how can you see it?"

That's right! They are all the sons of the earls, how could they go through that small door? Guo Dan snorted: "Where are you going to enter the door? Isn't you losing cleanly? What's the difference?"

Liu Xunmou immediately spat a few times, and then said, "Guo Dan, when I am afraid of you, don't say these unlucky words again. I am accumulating luck now, but you said that after this matter is over, I have to enjoy my enjoyment at the casino."

Guo Dan rolled her eyes and asked, "Didn't you come with you?"

"Don't mention him, I promised to come together, but the guy slept like a pig, and he couldn't wake him up no matter how he shouted."

Liu Xunmou glanced at Zhu Lizhi who was gradually moving away from them and said, "This person is in a hurry to come again. It's really difficult to be brothers with them."

Zhu Lizhi said lightly: "When you borrow money, that's not what you said."

Liu Xunmou's face suddenly changed and he hehe: "If it weren't for brothers, I wouldn't complain."

Guo Dan smiled and asked, "How are you preparing?"

Zhu Lizhi just nodded, but it is not difficult to see that he was in an excited state at this time, because this stage is a rare opportunity for him. He also wanted to try whether he could control such a large scene after learning new painting skills.

After chatting with them for a while, Guo Dan went to the other painters to take a look.

A total of 68 painters were arranged, 70% of whom came from the palace, and only 30% were from the Three Musketeers.

Seeing that there was no problem here, Guo Dan went to the Agricultural and Industrial Commercial District again. It would be fine if he didn't go there. As soon as he went there, he felt sad. He saw the group of rich people standing in the corners, like a group of pigs. They could only watch from afar, and they couldn't even see the faces of officials clearly, let alone the emperor.

But they themselves were quite excited and did not feel wronged at all. The sounds were like mosquitoes and whispering, and everyone had a smile on their faces, as if they were about to walk on the red carpet. The reality was that they had to stand here until dawn until the whole ceremony ended, and even going to the cottage was very troublesome.

Although this was made by Guo Dan, he really doesn't understand it very much now. In his opinion, this is simply spending money to find a grudge!

But since they didn't care, Guo Dan naturally wouldn't feel guilty, and he had done everything he could do.

Before dawn, more and more people gathered in the Huangji Palace. In addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and eunuchs, they were the Jinyiwei. It turned out that the Jinyiwei was also regarded as the emperor's guard of honor.

But I have to say that the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty was indeed very handsome, and their uniforms were the best, bright and beautiful. The fate of the Jinyiwei was really true.

At dawn, the enthronement ceremony officially began.

Guo Dan looked at it for a while and then started dozing off because he really couldn't understand it. He played music outside the door, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites held various books and placed them in the pavilion or in front of the door.

The princes and officials stand on both sides of the east and west.

When the auspicious time comes, the bell and drums are ringing. The emperor, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites, entered the Huangji Hall and read the book of the book that had been put down just now.

Then all officials and a group of "pigs" knelt three times and shouted long live.

Later, another official read the book of the book.

In fact, the emperor's appearance was the climax of the entire ceremony, especially those "pigs". They could not see clearly, but they were excited to shed tears, muttering words in their mouths, probably reporting to their ancestors.

However, many officials had expressionless faces on their faces and no joy, as if someone owed them three cents.

Guo Dan couldn't help but think, if I were Wanli, I would let these officials squat in that corner and let those people stand here, making no atmosphere at all.

Then the officials took the book to the harem to read it.

This made Guo Dan very regretful. He only wanted to see what Concubine Zheng looked like, but even such a small wish was not fulfilled.

Almost all the subsequent rituals were held in the harem, and Wanli, accompanied by all officials, went to the Empress Dowager to pay tribute.

It's impossible to go there.

Guo Dan also took the opportunity to go to Zhu Lizhi again, and saw Zhu Lizhi sitting in front of the five drawing boards, still waving his strokes. Liu Xunmou, who was standing beside him, pointed to one of the paintings while saying something.

Guo Dan came to them quietly and reached out and found that Zhu Lizhi's book boy was carefully drying some of the already drawn paintings. He was secretly surprised. It turned out that he had painted so many, so he had to know that there were still five paintings on the drawing board.

After standing and watching for a while, Guo Dan immediately changed his mind about Liu Xunmou. This guy is really a genius. He can even tell who has a nose that looks like. This memory is really rare in the world. Of course, Zhu Lizhi is not inferior. He can draw it just by opening his mouth of Liu Xunmou, and he writes very quickly, without thinking.

Both of them were in a very excited state and did not notice that Guo Dan was standing behind them.
Chapter completed!
