Yang Jian adopted a daughter and was in a good mood. He felt more intimate when he stayed with Shen Ao. He asked the chef to warm up the wine and food, and took a few sips with Chen Ao.

Chen Ao could not have imagined that this ending would be the end. Lord Tang of the Imperial College, his principal became his father-in-law, and even Eunuch Yang is now his father-in-law. This thought was so touching that it was really unpredictable.

After sighing, Chen Ao accompanied Yang Jian to drink with a smile. Yang Jian had a lot of alcohol. After drinking a few cups of carvings, he held Chen Ao's hand with a red face and said, "Young Master Chen, the first time you see you, I think you are a good person and are very good at the temperament of the Mid Family. Now we are more kinship, and your affairs will be the Mid Family in the future. If you have any difficulties, tell me directly, if anyone bullies you, the Mid Family will make the decision for you."

This time, he made sure that he looked sincere and Chen Ao smiled in his heart. He had a good relationship and was a family. If something happened in the future, he would never be polite.

He asked Zhenzhen to sit down together, and Chen Ao said seriously: "Zhenzhen, I haven't asked you some words yet, would you please answer truthfully?"

When Zhenzhen saw Chen Ao's expression was serious, she felt awe-inspiring in her heart and said, "Young Master Chen, ask."

Chen Ao held Zhen Zhen's hand and asked seriously: "Is Zhen Zhen willing to marry Chen Ao?"

He doesn't like arranged marriages, so even if he proposes marriage, he has to ask clearly.

Zhenzhen's face suddenly turned red and she said with a little shame: "Why do you have to ask this more for Mr. Chen?"

If so, the meaning is very clear.

Chen Ao smiled embarrassedly and went to drink again.

Chen Ao came out of the flower garden drunkenly and felt great when the cold wind blew. He was sent back to the Duke's Mansion by Yang Jian's carriage. It was already afternoon. After a night of sleep, his mind suddenly became much clearer. Then he remembered the grand banquet for guests tomorrow, and hurried to the backyard to meet his wife.

In fact, the preparation for the banquet was already started a few days ago, and the closer it was, the more idle it seemed. The lady was drinking tea in the Buddhist temple, Zhou Ruo was chatting with her, and as for Zhou Heng, she had already gone to the front office of the hall to wait for her.

Chen Ao had a look at Zhou Ruo, and he felt a little yelling in his heart. How great would it be if he married his cousin this time! Alas, although he got the moon first, the grass beside the nest was a bit hot.

When the lady saw Chen Ao coming, she asked, "Are you thanked me?"

Chen Aohe nodded: "I have already thanked me, and the imperial decree has also been sent. The person who ordered the scholars to attend the post. In a few days, I went to the Ministry of Personnel to order a letter, hand over the documents and seal the letter."

"What rank is the official who is the bachelor's degree?" The lady knew this numerous official titles.

Chen Ao said: "From the fourth grade."

The lady couldn't help but feel a little regretful and comforted Chen Ao.

Chen Ao laughed in his heart. He probably didn't know the promotion system of the court at all. Anyone who made friends with the Duke's Mansion was either a second or third rank official, or a third rank official would greet the Duke when he saw the Duke. Therefore, in the wife's opinion, the fourth rank was an extremely small official.

Zhou Ruo couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, Chen Ao just entered the court and was in the fourth rank. It's an unprecedented thing, and his future is unlimited!"

"Is that true?" The lady also smirked: "I don't understand these things either. Fortunately, you remind me that it would be bad if I make a joke in front of other ladies!"

Then he talked about tomorrow's banquet. When the lady smelled the wine from Chen Ao's mouth, she said, "Chen Ao, go and have a rest, you will be busy tomorrow."

He was driven away just now, and Chen Ao didn't argue, so he had to go back to his room to rest.

The next day, the Zhou Mansion was decorated with lights and Liu Wen came over early in the morning and sent Chen Ao to wear the mansion of Feiyi for Chen Ao to wear. Chen Ao was wearing this bright red official robe and looked up and down at the bronze mirror. He couldn't help but feel a little cool, and he felt a little proud, and he felt a little illusioned that he was going to be the groom today.

As the sun was three o'clock, guests came one after another, and a message came from the door. Zhou Zheng took Chen Ao and Zhou Heng to welcome the guests. He was wearing a purple robe, wearing a jade belt, and his face was full of spring breeze, and Chen Ao was wearing a breeze. As for Zhou Heng, it was a short suit of the imperial guards. Although Zhou Heng was a little fat, the clothes were really strong when he wore them.

The guests entered the venue one by one. Chen Ao kept his smile and his face was about to froze, but the guests seemed to be unable to welcome them. Every guest came to congratulate him. Zhou Zheng took Chen Ao to say politely, and did not forget to introduce Chen Ao to Chen Ao: "This is Lord Liu Long Liu, Guanglu Temple..." "This is Lord Gong, the right servant, the Lord Gong, Chen Ao, call him Gong Shibo." "He is the Marquis of Pingdu that I and you often mention, please salute..."

Chen Ao has a good memory, and he has remembered all the people who come here. Moreover, there are rules for welcoming guests. If you have noble status or close relationships, Zhou Zheng will mostly lead Chen Ao to be more polite and introduce it grandly. If the identity is humble, although he is still polite, he will inevitably have a few words. Chen Ao only needs to remember some important characters, and others will be familiar with others.

It was noon that the guests had almost arrived, but Zhou Zheng was a little anxious. Seeing that there were no guests coming from outside the mansion, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and shake his head, and called Chen Ao over and said, "Will this King of Jin come? Why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

The King of Jin was coming by himself. Zhou Zheng had already sent the invitation and had not seen anyone yet, which forced him to be a little anxious. If the King of Jin had no accurate letter, the banquet would not be held here. If he had eaten first, the King of Jin would come halfway through, it would inevitably be a bit rude. But if the King of Jin did not come, it would not be a solution to wait like this; it was all in a dilemma and he couldn't help but complain.

Chen Ao said confidently: "Uncle, King Jin will definitely come." After comforting him, he felt a little nervous.

After a while, the door sang: "The Prince of Jin is here... I send a jade coral and a pair of golden Ruyi..."

Zhou Zheng and Shen Ao were both overjoyed. This ancestor was really hard to wait. They met him. Sure enough, seeing the King of Jin coming with a few people carrying gifts, they heard Zhao Zong laughing from afar and said to Chen Ao repeatedly: "Congratulations, congratulations..."

The guests inside were shocked when they heard the word King Jin. The King of Jin came to celebrate in person? This is really an eye-opener. Among the civil and military officials in the court, Duke Qi was the first to invite the Prince Xiaoyao. Whether it was the powerful Grand Master Cai or the Prince and the Prince, who had never been angry with him?

Zhou Zheng and Youyou were honored to welcome him and spoke politely to the King of Jin, and personally met the King of Jin. Seeing that the time was almost over, he entertained people for a drink.

The guests were divided into three places. The small hall was an important guest such as King Jin and Duke of Wei. The outer hall was a few colleagues from the court and some old friends. The others could only be arranged in the front yard. This was not because Zhou Zheng was deliberately neglecting. It was because there were too many guests. No matter how big the Duke's Mansion was, it could not accommodate so many people. As for the female family, most of them went to the back garden, where there were several tables, and the wife was accompanying her.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng had no intention of going out to toast, Chen Ao understood in his heart that there was no rule for toasting at this time. Everyone sat on the table, looking at their own, whispering or pushing cups, but they never left their seats.

Chen Ao smiled and whispered to Zhou Zheng: "Uncle, I'll go and give me a round of wine!"

"Salute a round of wine?" Zhou Zheng was slightly surprised, wondering what Chen Ao had to do!

Chen Ao had already stood up, raised his glass to the small hall and greeted him around, then went to the outer hall. When the guests in the outer hall saw Chen Ao coming out, they all said, "The Principal Chen is here..." So they looked over.

Many people already understand that this arrogance is not simple. Even the King of Jin invited him to the court, and when he entered the court, he ordered a bachelor's degree. He really had a bright future.

At this time, when Chen Ao came over with a smile, he stood in front of a table first, and said respectfully to everyone present: "Students have been lucky enough to take the test. I'm sorry, uncles and brothers come to celebrate. I'll express my gratitude to the students." Chen Ao took the lead and looked up and drank the wine in the glass clean.

His actions immediately made the people present unable to sit still. They all smiled and said, "Young Master Chen is very good at drinking." As he said that, he raised his glasses: "We will also pay a cup to Mr. Chen and wish Mr. Chen high school."

Such respect for each other not only aroused the guests' favorability for Chen Ao, but the atmosphere became a little lively. Chen Ao respected each other on the table, but thanks to the low alcohol level of alcohol in this era, Chen Ao was able to encourage and support after drinking one cup of wine, but after a round, he was already in the face.

The guests in the outer hall were flirting with each other. Seeing Chen Ao so polite and humble, they toasted each other for several glasses, and they couldn't help but feel less restrained and more laughter.

After the outer hall, Chen Ao said disturbing and went to the front yard again. Most of the guests in the front yard were low-level officials and wealthy businessmen in the city who had some connection with the Duke Qi's mansion. Seeing this talented man in Chen raised his glass, he couldn't help but feel strange. Seeing Chen Ao toasting them, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. People came to toast from the small hall to toast, so they looked down on themselves. Mr. Chen was a relative of Duke Qi's man and a talented man. Now he has become a fourth-rank official with a bright future. He was able to toast with such a reserved and humble manner, which gave them great face, so he replied.

After the whole circle of toasts, it was already half an hour after Chen Ao's alcohol was rising and he barely returned to the small hall. Zhou Zheng heard the movement outside and knew Chen Ao's intention. He smiled and said, "I don't see you so much that I usually drink. Today I've seen it. Come, I'll give you another cup of uncles."

Chen Ao toasted everyone again, and the King of Jin Hongguang said with a full face: "It's interesting, drinking like this is interesting. Well, I'm also interested today, and I will go out toast a circle of wine with Chen Ao." He stood up first, held Chen Ao's arm and said: "Let's go, go, Chen Ao, let's go to toast together." He likes to join in the fun and likes this fresh toast method. Chen Ao went out with his heart and complained, so he had to force him out. This time, when the guests came out, they couldn't help but be restrained when they saw King of Jin. Instead, Chen Ao smiled and said: "Those who can come today are all guests. You don't have to worry about your identity, just drink it with pleasure."
