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 the old man Qiu, ordinary Qinggui is 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 scholars, peasants, businessmen, and merchants. The status of merchants was extremely low, and the three generations of merchants could not take scientific examinations.

Once you earn a certain amount of money and have a certain social status, 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 still make a lot of money.

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

"Father, I don't know how to respond when I received this invitation." 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 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 was already a month ago, and it must have been sent quickly, but the time was very generous.

There was no specific inviter, but he just said that he was inviting Young Master Murong Run from Murong Mansion, and the signature was the official seal of Duke Yongguo Mansion.

It's like an invitation from the imperial government to him.

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

Murong Run was even more undecided.

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

So, Murong Run took the invitation to Qiu Mansion again, and Mr. Qiu took the invitation 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?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Murong Run shook his head: "It's really gone, and I told you before. Grandpa, is there something wrong with this invitation?"

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

Unlike other nobles, the Yongguo Gongfu usually does not interact with other nobles, and they are extremely low-key.

In particular, there have been two queens in their family, but there has never been a foreign relative intervening in politics, and no one in the court has served as an important minister.

Duke Yong used to be a general who went into battle to kill the enemy. After he retired, he was also at ease raising flowers and playing birds. Some children had never even heard of his name.

The Murong family is also very low-key, especially under the beating of the old man Qiu, they didn't get involved too much with those princes and nobles.

If that's the 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—"

The old man Qiu also reacted, and if they had anything that could attract the attention of Xungui outside, it was only the fruit that Murong Run brought back before.

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

The other one 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.
