Chapter three hundred and forty-two: even in four yuan
Chapter 342: Four Yuans in a row
"Eunuch Yang?" Zhou Zheng frowned slightly. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has been no rule that the palace would come out to report good news when the results were announced.
Did this Yang Jian come from his personal relationship with Chen Ao, or was he instructed by the official family?
Zhou Zheng thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so he stood up and said, "So quickly lead the father-in-law to the hall to sit high, Chen Ao, you go and meet with guests."
Chen Ao couldn't help but say, "Uncle, you are the head of the family, this is a matter of meeting guests..."
Zhou Zheng smiled: "As the Duke of China, I finally avoid suspicion. Anyway, Eunuch Yang is here to find you this time. You can treat me well, don't be careless."
Chen Ao knew what he said goodbye to everyone, and led him to the outer courtyard. Liu Wen said with a smile: "Young Master, I'm afraid I've really won the fourth exam this time. Eunuch Yang said just now that he was here to report the great joy. Isn't this great joy? What is the first name of the four top students?"
The four top scorers, Liu Wen came up with this term is interesting, but there are really no one who won four consecutive exams and won four top scorers, so no one knows what to call them. How to just call a top scorer, how to demonstrate this hard-earned achievement?
Chen Ao smiled: "Stay, calm, the more you are at this time, the Zhou family cannot show arrogance. You must be low-key and reserved so as not to be able to talk."
Liu Wen knew the awesome intentions and nodded, "Don't worry, Master, I can't help it. I'll give it to you later. No one in the mansion will say anything."
When I arrived at the main hall, I walked in and saw Yang Jian slowly holding the tea cup and blowing the tea foam. When I saw Chen Ao coming, I put down my raised legs and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen, you are so miserable for the waiter."
Mr. Chen smiled and sat down beside Yang Jian, saying, "Eunuch Yang is here in person, really giving students face. Hehe, you must give Eunuch Yang a big red envelope at that time."
Yang Jian chuckled and said, "Yes, you really want to give a big red envelope to the miscellaneous family this time. Did Mr. Chen go and see the list?"
Chen Ao shook his head: "I haven't seen it."
Yang Jian said: "Young Master Chen, this trip is going to be famous in history. You won the first place in four exams in calligraphy, painting, and soft jade. Haha, this exam is still the one that the Mid-Architects have signed up for you. Mid-Architects are honored. Hey, why are you having a bitter face? This is a good thing."
Chen Ao said with a bitter face: "Students are so hard that they have four exams in a row. There are so many people who come to report good news, and there are also all the people in the family. If they have fame and fortune, they will inevitably lose their wealth."
Yang Jian laughed loudly, knowing that Chen Ao was just talking and joking, so he patted his chest and said, "Young Master has no money, so I'll find a family... to borrow it. What kind of friendship does the family and the son have? Can you still make you embarrassed?"
He originally wanted to ask for a miscellaneous person, but when he was halfway through, he immediately shrank back and changed the word "borrow". Yang Jian was too familiar with Chen Ao's temperament. This guy's face was thicker than himself. If he said "心" "心", he would really not be allowed to climb up and ask for money from him.
Yang Jian is the most loved money, and everything else is easy to say. It’s just the word money, so you have to think about it.
Chen Ao smiled pursed his lips: "There are still students who have this money, so there is no need to bother Eunuch Yang."
Chen Ao was still very happy. He was the first in the world in four games, but he was not noble at all. He never missed fame and fortune, but he did not dare to be overly happy after winning these four top prizes. The bigger his reputation, the more he was at the forefront. He looked at countless eyes, and every move was eye-catching. It would be better to be low-key.
After drinking tea with Yang Jian for a while, Chen Ao personally took out a hundred guan of money to attract him, and sealed a red envelope to give it to the hard-working Eunuch Yang. When Eunuch Yang touched him, he knew the weight of the money in the red envelope. He couldn't help laughing: "Young Master Chen is normal, he is still very good at being a human being. The miscellaneous family has not come here in vain."
As he said that, he looked at the sky: "It's not too early, and the Za family is going back to the palace. Mr. Chen, please celebrate in the mansion. When the banquet is held, don't forget to send an invitation to the Za family. You will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to thank you, and have a good rest, so that all the civil and military officials in the court can see the style of the top scorer in the fourth exam."
Chen Ao sent Yang Jian out, but outside the middle gate, he was shocked. The person who reported the good news was so dark that the entire street was blocked. Oh, the whole of Bianjing was coming. How much does it cost to fight?
Originally, these rascals dared not come to the Duke Qi's Mansion to be presumptuous. Even when passing by, they had to go around a bend. But today is different. The so-called "to stretch out your hands and not hit people with smiles. Besides, such a sensational good thing happened in Duke Qi's Mansion. With their wealth, there are many rewards, so more and more people gathered, and they all said: "Congratulations to Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, who won four consecutive games, will rise to the top in the future. He will be in the hospital and be in the near future."
"Young Master Chen is very happy and has learned five chariots and won four yuan in a row. It has never been seen in the past. This is a good story that has been passed down from generation to generation..."
Fortunately, those who reported the good news did not know Chen Ao. When Chen Ao and Yang Jian came out, it did not cause any sensation. Chen Ao's face was a little stiff, so he sent Yang Jian away and hurried back to the backyard.
After talking to Zhou Zheng, the wife told her about the situation outside. The wife had learned that the four yuan in a row was true. She said happily: "What do you want to do in this? You should do the reward from Liu Wen. You don't have to worry about how much it costs. This trip is so good, so good..." She was excited and trembling. She paced back and forth unconsciously in the Buddhist temple. Her face was fresh and she covered her anxious beating, and said: "The reward is for a big reward. There are still too few people who have been invited. Liu Wen, think about who there are noons in the afternoon. Don't delay it. Chen Ao will enter the palace to thank him tomorrow. The next day is also an auspicious day. The banquet will be chosen at noon next day. And... the mansion needs to be repaired, and you cannot lose your dignity."
Zhou Zhenghe nodded and said, "Madam, sit down and talk first, you make me dizzy. This matter must be done very much. For some important guests, I will personally go to see Cambodia in the afternoon, Heng'er, then you go to the commander-in-chief department in front of the palace to see Cambodia. Commander-in-chief Hu Ang, and several deputy commander-in-chief, and Du Yuhou will be delivered."
Zhou Heng still understands the worldly style. His father meant that he was about to enter the front office of the hall and went to meet with Shangguan in this name. If he had someone to take care of him in the future, he quickly agreed.
Zhou Zheng said again: "Chen Ao, as for all the doctors in the Imperial College, you will go to pay a visit and send a gift to you, bring some gifts."
Shen Ao responded.
Zhou Heng stumbled and said, "But there is something I'm a little worried about. Chen Ao, let me ask you, do you think the King of Jin should send an invitation?"
Zhou Heng's worries were not redundant. King Jin was crazy. If he didn't send invitations, the two families were still in marriage, and he and Shen Ao also had a friendship. He also helped Chen Ao once during the palace examination. However, if he sent invitations, according to King Jin's wishes, he would probably not come. If he invited guests and guests would not come, it would be a very shameless thing for a big family like Zhou Heng.
But the King of Jin was a lonely man. When Cai Jing's grandson got married, he specially asked someone to invite him. He was fine. He called a groom to go to the banquet, but almost didn't teach the Grandmaster Cai to go out of his anger. And the Duke of Wei County, the relationship between the two families was very good. After he invited him, he refused to give him any face and sent a groom. Although Duke of Wei County had nothing to say, he was afraid that he was very unhappy in his heart. Fortunately, the princess went to apologize in person and finally saved some face.
Zhou Zheng was not afraid that the King of Jin would not come, but that the tragedy would happen again. He called a groom to come over, where would he put his face?
Chen Ao was confused and said, "Uncle, King Jin and I have some friendship. Besides, I have helped me once. If I don't invite him, I'm afraid Yu Li will be incompatible."
Zhou Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and he was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Liu Wen quickly came to report, saying, "A father-in-law has come to the Prince of Jin's mansion, and he wants to face the father-in-law and the young master in front of him."
Zhou Zheng and Shen Ao looked at each other, saying that Cao Cao was here. At this critical moment, what should King Jin send someone to do?
Since the person who came was a father-in-law, there was no need to be a taboo when entering the backyard. Zhou Zheng said: "Please come that father-in-law."
After a while, a sharp-mouthed monkey-mouthed, came in with a respectful young father-in-law, saluted to Zhou Zheng and Chen Ao and said, "I have met the prince and the prince Chen. The servant came to congratulate Mr. Chen on the order of King Jin to congratulate Mr. Chen on high school. King Jin said that Mr. Chen won the top scorer this time, and he was very happy and said that he would come to ask for a glass of wine at that time..."
Zhou Zheng couldn't listen to the words behind the young father-in-law. He was shocked and didn't care about the polite words behind him. The King of Jin wanted to come to the banquet in person? Zhou Zheng thought he had heard it wrong. No one could invite the King of Jin. The official family sometimes asked him to enter the palace. When he lay down, he said that the king was sick and could not get out of bed and would not go. When he met such a treasure brother, even the official family had no choice but to send an imperial physician to treat him. Although he knew that the King of Jin was mostly pretending, he still had to ask about his well-being.
Zhou Zheng then thought again, if this King of Jin could come, it would be great. The whole country of Duke Qiguo's mansion was really glorious. Inviting King of Jin to the banquet is no easier than inviting the official family to the banquet. He said happily: "I was about to send invitations to the prince's mansion, but I didn't expect that the King of Jin would send someone to ask in person. I'm so polite. Okay, I personally send invitations to the afternoon. Is there anything else to do with my father-in-law?"
The young father-in-law smiled and said, "I don't know who is Mrs. Zhou."
The lady's face changed slightly. She had no relationship with the Prince Jin Mansion, so she couldn't help but say, "I am."
The young father-in-law saluted even more respectfully and said, "My princess asked me to greet the lady, saying that the princess and the princess have in-laws. My princess has long heard of the name of the wife. If the wife is free, she can go to the princess to sit down, chat with the princess, and see the flowers in the back garden of the princess."
