"Chen Liqin, a co-president of Luocheng, Yuzhou, is honest and impartial in his office, leads his subordinates upright, considers the people's sentiments, and is willing to provide compensation, so that people are willing to take advantage of the situation, and the national education is not compromised..."

"By imperial decree, Chen Liqin, the co-president of Luocheng, Yuzhou, is moved to the post of Shao Zhanshi of Zhanshi Mansion and is assigned to the official office of the East Palace."

In front of the Chen Mansion's residence, officials from the capital were dusty.

After he read out the document, he politely handed the dragon-patterned yellow paper document to Chen Liqin's hand, and handed it over with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Chen,

As soon as we said goodbye to each other in Beijing three years ago, I knew that we would still have a chance to meet each other, but I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. I hope you will support Mr. Chen when he returns to Beijing."

Zhang Zhuo on the side said "", and said in an exaggerated tone: "Young Master Zhan who is in the fourth rank, the Chen family is so generous. Isn't this the official position that Mr. Chen Ge personally went to the imperial court to ask for for you? I will be right in the future.

Mr. Chen, please be more respectful. A high-ranking official will overwhelm others."

The magistrate of Luocheng was promoted to the fifth rank, the Tongzhi of Luocheng was promoted to the fifth rank, and the young master of Zhan Shifu was promoted to the fourth rank. From then on, Chen Liqin's official position was two levels higher than Zhang Zhuo's.

Chen Liqin gave Zhang Zhuo a warning look: "Master Zhang's promotion documents have also arrived, why bother to make fun of the lower officials?"

He took the document, checked it again and again, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to the official: "Master Li, you are very polite, I need your care in the future. Wang Gui, take Master Li to——"

Chen Liqin almost subconsciously called out Wang Gui's name, but after calling it out, he remembered that Wang Gui had just been beaten twenty times with a cane and was bedridden.

It’s always a little uncomfortable to find the tools you use easily when you can’t find them for a while.

Chen Li thought for a moment and said to the young boy: "Master Li, please go and stay at Runquanyuan so that you can serve him well."

After saying that, he turned to look at Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, you have been tired from traveling. Please go to your residence to rest first. The Chen family will sincerely thank you."

Master Li smiled from ear to ear. With Chen Liqin's words, his "foreign mission" of hundreds of miles was not in vain.

At this time, another official was led to the door of the Chen Mansion by the Zhang family boy. When the official met, he announced the good news loudly: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang, congratulations to Mr. Zhang!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhang Zhuo stepped forward and grabbed the official's wrist: "Let me ask you, has Wang Daosheng's promotion document arrived? He, Ding You, has ended. Does Your Majesty have any appointments or dismissals?"

The official felt comfortable for a moment and said, "No--no, the two humble people only brought you and Mr. Chen's."

Zhang Zhuo frowned: "Nonsense, his documents have already been drafted, all he needs is approval from the cabinet minister!"

The official hurriedly said humbly: "Sir Zhang, I have been humble since I was promoted to an official position. When I left the capital, I didn't hear anyone mentioning the incident of Mr. Wang's resurrection."

"Really not?"

"Really not."

Zhang Zhuo sighed deeply, his figure actually looked a bit desolate.

He took the promotion document from the official's hand and stuffed it into his sleeve, and said casually: "No need to read it, I know the content. Zhang Zheng, lead Mr. Zhou to Baiyi Lane to listen to some songs to relieve his fatigue. In addition, he will prepare the

Give him that box."

"Talk," Zhang Zheng happily ran back to the house, picked up a small wooden suitcase, and led Mr. Zhou away.

Chen Liqin looked at Zhang Zhuo in front of the door: "Why is Mr. Zhang frowning? Is it because the promotion is not ideal?"

Zhang Zhuo smiled and said, "Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say that I am asking for nothing. That's all. It's useless to talk to you."

At this moment, Mrs. Liang hurriedly walked out of the house with the help of her maid.

Chen Liqin subconsciously glanced at Chen Ji and Zhang Zhuo, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Aren't you in the Buddhist hall? Why did you come out?"

Mrs. Liang was about to cry: "Sir, I thought about it in the Buddhist hall before, but since you have been promoted, you must entertain guests. This matter affects the face of the Chen family, so I should do my best.

"

She counted it out in detail: "Master, three days before the banquet, you have to write and send invitations. Only by sending three invitations in a row can you show your dignity. Before the banquet, you have to prepare ingredients, find a cook, and clean the house. Now that I and Wang Gui have passed away at the same time, I only have to wait and see.

I'm afraid that other people in the house won't be able to take care of you. You have never taken care of these things in the past.

Chen Liqin hesitated.

These matters have always been handled by Liang and Wang Gui, and he has never had a hand in it. If he were to handle it personally, he would probably be very worried. Seeing Chen Liqin's hesitation, Liang turned to look at Chen Ji and said gently: "Chen Ji, you too

I see, there is a big happy event in this family, and if you don’t treat the guests well, you might make the guests laugh. How about I take care of the banquet first, and wait until the banquet is over to talk about some things?"

Chen Ji smiled and replied: "You are right, big things are important."

He knew that after this banquet, the Chen family would go to the capital, and Liang would also need to take care of the ceremony. How could Liang have time to think about it in the Buddhist hall?

Even such an incident made Chen Liqin realize that the Chen family really needed the Liang family. If Chen Ji tried to stop him, he would be ignorant of the overall situation.

However, Zhang Zhuo on the side said: "Shit, why do I need my younger siblings to take care of this matter? Master Chen and I were promoted together. If the promotion banquet is held separately, you said that the officials from Luo City came to attend my Zhang family's banquet.

Or go to your Chen family’s banquet? Aren’t we making things difficult for the officials?”

Liang's complexion changed slightly.

Zhang Zhuo smiled and said: "I have also been promoted this time, higher than Mr. Chen. This matter can be handled by my Zhang family. Then I will attend with Mr. Chen, so my brothers and sisters don't need to worry."

Mrs. Liang stood in front of the door, her fingers tightened on the maid's arm. She didn't want to leave, and it didn't matter if she didn't leave.

Zhang Xia took Zhang Zhuo's arm and said, "Father, I will also help mother with the arrangements. I will write the invitations tomorrow and find the cook from Yingxian Tower to prepare the ingredients. I will not embarrass my father and Mr. Chen."

Zhang Zhuo praised: "My daughter is sensible."

Mrs. Liang was silent for a while, and finally Wanfu bowed and turned to go back home: "Then Mr. Zhang, Miss Zhang, I will go back to the Buddhist hall right now."

Chen Liqin was puzzled: "What official position did Master Zhang get promoted to?"

Zhang Zhuo glanced at him sideways: "Leo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Chen Liqin was shocked, he was in the third grade!

No wonder the official who just came from the Ministry of Civil Affairs was so humble. It turned out that he was here to deliver documents to his superior!

Chen Liqin was surprised and confused: "Master Zhang is only one step away from joining the cabinet now, why was he still frowning just now?"

"You won't understand," Zhang Zhuo smiled, and then said to Zhang Xia warmly, "Daughter, I'm home."

Chen Ji looked at Zhang Zhuo's back and felt as if there was a mountain pressing down on him today.

However, before leaving Luo City, he had one more thing to do.

"Sir Zhang, wait a minute." Chen Ji walked a few steps quickly, took Zhang Zhuo's arm, and lowered his voice and said, "Sir Zhang, I have a favor to ask."

Zhang Zhuo was puzzled: "But it doesn't hurt to talk."

Chen Ji said sincerely: "I'd like to ask the Zhang family to send an invitation to the officials in Luo City, but also send one to General Wang of the Chitose Army. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, this matter will definitely not implicate the Zhang family."

Zhang Zhuo was startled. He turned to look at Chen Ji and saw that the night had darkened. Chen Ji's expression was hard to see clearly in the dark night.
