Chapter 425: Welcome to the Kid

Chen Ao went to the doorman and met Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng greeted Shi Ying and other princes, and only had a head with Shen Aohe. The two of them were treated separately, and they didn't even have a chance to speak.

Most of the people who came to congratulate me just made a move, said a few auspicious words and left. Some of them had deep connections and would go in and sit for a while, take a few sips of tea, and stayed busy until dusk, and then calmed down. Quartz and others were still sitting in the main hall. I guess they planned to keep food here today, and there was also the one Shanggao Hou, Wu Wu, who originally did not move around with the Duke Qi's mansion.

Speaking of which, the kings and princes are not completely monotonous. They can be roughly divided into two groups, one belongs to the founding dukes. The families of these founding dukes and lords have received the favor of the country. On the surface, they seem to not continue their titles, but the court often has advantages. My husband is dead, and although the titles of sons are reduced, it will not take many years to make a little contribution and be granted. Therefore, these families are prosperous and have a great influence in the army and are lush, which can be regarded as a force in the court that cannot be underestimated.

As for the second type of kings, most of them are royal relatives. Some of them have become queens in their families, so they have given titles, and some have made great contributions and given grace. For example, the Shanggao Marquis was the empress dowager of Zhezong, who came from the Wu family. Later, the Wu family married the princess as their wife. Wu Wu was born. Wu Wu was a hard-core royal relative. Therefore, as soon as he became an adult, he went to the border town to gilt, and he was granted a marquis a few years later.

Chen Ao naturally knew that Wu Wu was thanking him for the last time he had saved him, so he taught him to sit with Shi Ying and others. After all the guests were dispersed, he and Zhou Zheng returned to the main hall to greet the guests for tea.

Although the top scorer in this place was festive, Chen Ao had only one feeling at this time, tired, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, as if countless things were surrounding him, and his smiling faces were surrounding him like a lantern. Anyway, he couldn't remember who was who, and kept accepting congratulations.

After taking a sip of tea and chatting with Quartz for a few words, Quartz said, "Chen Ao, you have won the top scorer now. What do you think?"

Thoughts? No, Chen Ao was in a mess. If he had any other thoughts, he asked: "Please make an announcement for the county."

Quartz laughed and said, "The Ministry of Personnel has submitted a memorial request. More than 200 Jinshi will be appointed this year. You are the top scholar, so you naturally have to find a good place to go. It is said that Your Majesty meant that he wanted to ask you to go to Hangzhou, but he was a little undecided because there is no real lack of Hangzhou for the time being, but Xijing lacks a county magistrate of Wannian County. Wannian County is Chi County. If you go there, it is much better than going to Hangzhou."

Xijing is Chang'an, which is considered the direct administration of the Song Dynasty. The county towns are divided into seven levels, including Chi, Ji, Wang, Xiao, upper, middle, and lower. Generally, the county under Kyoto is Chi County, and the county next to Kyoto is Ji County. The rest are divided into Feng, Xiao, upper, middle and lower according to the number of household registration. Officials in Chi County are often promoted the fastest and have a higher rank. Because they deal directly with Jingzhao Prefecture, their superiors are not prefect, but directly governed by the third-rank Jingzhao Prefecture. Counties like Wannian can be said that even some children of Dukes and Marquis may not be able to compete for the Jinshi exam.

In the eyes of Quartz and Zhou Zheng and others, they had to be very cautious when they entered the officialdom for the first time. Quartz said this to Chen Ao, and it seemed like he wanted to run for Chen Ao. As long as Chen Ao nodded, the county magistrate of Wannian County would be Chen Ao.

Seeing that Chen Ao's expression was still, Shi Ying thought to herself, "Does this kid don't like going to Xijing?" She looked at Chen Ao up and down, and saw that Chen Ao looked so handsome, she couldn't help laughing, thinking to herself, is he thinking to go to Hangzhou? Suhang is a place where literary talent is gathered, and there are many talented men and beautiful women. It is normal for young people to go there to join in the fun. After thinking about it, she said, "Actually, there are also errands in Hangzhou. There are Yirenhe County Geque County Magistrate and a County Captain. If you want to go, you can also try it. In fact, you have a deep honor to be a holy family. Whether you go to Hangzhou or Xijing, it is just a hard work. At most, it will take a few years or a year to enter the court. Think about it yourself."

Chen Ao's mind is simple. He would rather be a county magistrate or a county magistrate than a county magistrate in Chang'an. He has to be a county magistrate everywhere. What does it mean to go to Xijing? There are more officials in Jingzhao Prefecture than dogs, and they are all older than those of the county magistrate. There is like being a prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture in Bianjing. On the surface, he is a third-rank official, but in fact he is not even a nonsense. He kills someone on the street, and maybe he is a second-rank official.

Rather, I wouldn’t go to Hangzhou for fun. Although it is farther and smaller, it is not many officials. Even a county magistrate is a good person in the county. This is second-hand. Chen Ao, Renhe County, has inquired about it. Although it is not far from Hangzhou, it is not close. There is no need to see the face of the Hangzhou prefect. Besides, a prefect is better than a prefect. The prefect is not considered a high-ranking official. He came from the Duke’s Mansion. I am afraid that the prefect will not make things difficult for him. He has been in Hangzhou for a few years and returned to Bianjing. My buddy is another hero.

He thought happily and said with a stern face: "Minister, the students still want to try it on their own. Whether it is the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, or the court, or where the imperial court is sent, it doesn't matter to the students."

These words were so high-sounding that Quartz knew what he was thinking and smiled and said, "It would be better if you have such ambition."

Zhou Zhengdao: "The most urgent task at the moment is to talk about it after getting married and start a family and start a business to gain a heart."

Quartz smiled: "I am afraid that this nephew has already caused criticism from four wives, but I don't have to worry about them. My mouth is on them, so my nephew is happy."

This sentence came to Chen Aoxin's heart and said with a smile: "The Duke of the County is right."

Shi Ying went to say a few more words to the Shang Gaohou. The Shang Gaohou did not see him being reckless, but he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the county duke. He was extremely respectful. Everyone just used food in the Zhou Mansion and then they dispersed.

……………………………………………………………………

The auspicious day of the zodiac sign has been selected, the six gifts have been given, and the weddings that were planned are almost the same. Now we are waiting for the wedding to come to the door. Chen Ao has been straightforward these days, and the Tang and Yang families have sent people to discuss. Chen Ao insists that he cannot go door to door to meet the bride. Grandma, it takes one or two hours to meet the four doors a day. The four wives have not entered the door, and it is dark. He insists that the bride waits in one place, and then he takes people there and takes them all to the new house.

The two entrusted to come to discuss the marriage are naturally a little unwilling. In fact, they also knew that the wife had to go away one by one, but they were afraid that she would not finish it in one day, but if she didn't want to welcome the bride at home, she would inevitably break the rules.

After discussing for a long time, I couldn't find a way. In the end, the wife decided to send all the brides to the Duke Qi's mansion first, and Shen Ao greeted them to the new house.

This is a compromise method, and the Tang and Yang families stopped talking about anything; the discussion was almost done, and the new house had been repaired long ago. Chen Ao went to see it in person. It was not far from the Duke's Mansion, and it took only one stick of incense to walk. It took a lot of land, but it was not as elegant as the Duke's Mansion. The decoration inside was still good, neither fancy nor unique. The front hall was divided into the main hall, side hall, ear room, study room and row of lower-class rooms in the corner. After passing the front hall, the back garden was the residence of the family. Seven or eight lofts were connected in the shade of trees, guarding a garden, and a small stream was built manually. The stream water flowed by the garden and the pavilion. Such a large house, Chen Ao, was enough.

Chen Ao walked around the new house in a daze. When he came out, his mind was still a little confused. After seeing it, why did he look the same as he didn't see it? My buddy just went in now. If there was no one to guide him, I was afraid that he would only get lost. After complaining in his heart, he became happy again. This place will be his home from now on.

There are already a concierge and a maid in this house. The chef and the servants are also chosen by the wife themselves. They are still cleaning up now. You can move in directly after getting married.

Before the imperial decree was issued, Chen Ao was worried about getting married. In the early morning of the third day of the September 19th, there was a fog in the air. Chen Ao was pulled onto a carriage early in the morning and arrived at the new house drowsy. Then he took a shower and changed his clothes. Liu Sheng was waiting by his side, but nothing went wrong.

After a while, the musicians, sedan chairs, brides and companions were all ready and stopped steadily outside.

In the evening, Zhou Heng and Wu Bi were also close to each other, waiting for the groom to pick up the bride. Chen Ao came out in a new decoration. The groom's clothes were a bit similar to the official uniform. They were wearing big red flowers on their chests. When they looked in the mirror, they were a little funny and a little festive. He smiled happily at the bronze mirror, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Liu Sheng, take your young grandmothers."

Liu Sheng immediately sang a fat nod, and said, "Young Master, you can't roll up your sleeves... By the way, there are fans, fans..."

Chen Ao stepped out of the gate of the new house, and there were crowds of people outside, all of whom came to support him. Zhou Hengda shouted: "There is people coming, here... help the groom get on the horse."

The crowd rushed up and surrounded Chen Ao. This was not just about helping people up, it was clearly... Chen Ao shouted: "Robbery... Do you still have any conscience? Even the groom doesn't give you face. Hello, don't touch me anymore, I don't have a copper plate on my body..."

After finally squeezing away the crowd, he turned over a snow-white tall horse, and the drums and music behind him started to play. There were four large sedans in the back, and various ceremonials holding imperial edicts, Jinshi and other red cards, followed one after another. There were some brides, four cars, and both of them were friends who followed the wedding, including classmates, friends from the front office of the Palace, and several scholars who met in Suiyashan. Everyone followed Shen Ao with laughter and pointed, either that his hat was in a crooked manner or that his horse was riding in the wrong posture.

Chen Aocai ignored them and activated the white horse sitting down to go all the way to the Duke Qiguo Mansion. There were more guests at Duke Qiguo Mansion. Not only that, they were also extremely strange. There were imperial guards wearing Fanyang hats, officials wearing purple robes, and even several of them had their father-in-laws. The Song Dynasty, whether it was internal or external, had all the people who could come.

The father-in-laws were also very happy. These were all here to flatter Yang Jian. The daughter of Yang's daughter had already had a quarrel. They gritted their teeth and gave wedding money, including ten, twenty, and one hundred. There was nothing they could do if the person on duty could not come out. Some people who were not on duty asked Yang Jian to leave the palace by their reputation. Yang Jian naturally wanted to be as lively as possible, so naturally he let him go.

Chen Ao turned over and got off the horse, was immediately stopped, and he laughed and congratulated and savored it, and then he was willing to let Chen Ao go in.

In fact, Chen Ao was ignorant about the marriage procedure. Anyway, he was dizzy and obeyed others' mercy. He first went to the back wing to invite four ladies wearing red clouds. He led four red silks and pulled the four ladies out. Looking at the four ladies wearing red clouds, Chen Ao was even more confused. Which one was the one? My buddy was confused. He ignored it and took him back to his house before studying it.

He returned to the new house with four beautiful ladies. Because Chen Ao had no parents, Zhou Zheng and Mrs. Zhou also worked on their behalf. Yang Jian also wanted to make fun of it, saying that Chen Ao had no father or mother, and this high-ranking miscellaneous family had to do it. His nonsense made Tang Yan dissatisfied with the eunuchs. He could not take advantage of him, so he simply joined in. However, Chun'er's uncle and aunt dared not say anything, but everyone else went there, so he could not neglect them. Anyway, there was not much more.

Chen Ao pulled the four brides to the main hall. After someone's guidance, he completed several cumbersome procedures. Zhou Zheng, Mrs. Zhou, Yang Jian, Tang Yan, Mrs. Tang, and Chun'er's uncle, and aunts lined up in the hall. Chen Ao was really shocked. Wow, why don't there be too many high halls? He felt a little relieved. He first worshiped the heaven and earth, then worshiped the high hall, and bowed to each other. The etiquette was finally completed until midnight, and then he entered the bridal chamber.
