I hang up for retirement in the martial arts world

Chapter 124
The Chen family was quite powerful, but Zhang Ting was able to achieve the high position of a prefect of a county, so he was naturally not without foundation.

The Zhang family might not be as strong as the Chen family in terms of force, but in the officialdom, there are mountains pressing down on them, and force has never been the key to everything.

Only benefits are.

In Zhang Ting's body, a lot of interests of the people above were involved, and the relationship was so important that even Chen Meng had to bow down in front of him and be a minor.

It stands to reason that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

The two families of Chen and Zhang are so close that conflicts of interests are inevitable, but Zhang Ting knows that it is better to be friends than enemies when they come out to hang out.

Therefore, when Chen Zhenghe was still in charge in the past, he would tolerate everything and tried to win him over more than once. Unfortunately, that guy was very shrewd and avoided the factional disputes behind him like a snake.

After replacing Chen Meng a few years ago.

He had thought that the situation would change, but he didn't expect that this young man was also not a light-saving lamp, and he remained unmoved in the face of his overt and secret overtures.

"Today is an important day for Nephew Yixian, you two don't need to pay attention to me, just be ordinary guests, stay later, you and I can get close to each other!"

In front of the Chen Mansion, Zhang Ting stepped forward slowly, took Chen Meng's arm lightly, and said gently.

"Thank you uncle for your understanding, please come in and sit down for a while!" Chen Meng smiled slightly, and politely moved aside.

"Ha!" Zhang Ting looked at the young man's calm and composed demeanor, and then looked at the silent boy at the side, couldn't help chuckling, and sighed.

"One piece of paper and one piece of martial arts, Brother Zhenghe is really... There is a successor!"

Then he waved his sleeves and followed Chen Meng into the mansion.

"Tsk! Is this someone from the officialdom?" Chen Yi, who was dressed in a moon-white costume, reached out and touched his chin.

"There is no need to cut open the aura that coincides with each other. We all know that the hearts of these two people must be dark." He sensed the two opposing auras in front of him, followed behind the two, and secretly slandered.

He was supposed to be today's protagonist, but he didn't make a sound except for saying a word during the ceremony just now. He looked like a small follower, shrouded in the shadow of two foxes, one big and one small, in front of him.

This morning, there were many visitors, and the steward was soft on receiving gifts, and the concierge who signed up for the report lost his voice. In the end, he could only replace a few juniors who had practiced martial arts.

In Chen's mansion, Chen's mother specially decorated several main halls and main halls, and set up separate banquets to entertain some distinguished guests.

Several open halls in the front yard were also drawn out, and nearly a hundred tables of banquets were set up, accompanied by many stewards in the mansion uninterruptedly, to entertain ordinary guests.

The female relatives also gathered in the backyard to have fun together.

For a while, the entire Chen Mansion was filled with the sound of toasting and human relations.

"Today, please drink to your heart's content!"

In the corner, Chen Yi made a toast to the guests at the last table in the front yard, and saluted politely.

The meaning of farewell in the tone is beyond words.

"Haha, Second Young Master, don't worry about us, let's go get busy!"

Among the guests at this table, a potbellied smiley man spoke on behalf of everyone.

"Yes, a fairy-like figure, it is a blessing to meet him once!"

"Young Master Yi is truly a talented person. It's an honor to meet Sansheng today!"

The rest of the people echoed and laughed.

"Haha, you guys are really good at joking, I'm sorry, Shu Yi!" Chen Yi bowed to the wine table again, and then left slowly.

When passing through the many seats, there were compliments again and again.

He could only keep clapping his hands in gestures, until the face on his face was almost stiff with laughter, and finally he escaped from this open hall and came to the corridor.

It was already afternoon.

The young man worked slightly to dispel his drunkenness, adjusted his clothes a little, and went straight to the main hall
There are still several heavyweights waiting for him to accompany him.

"Little brother, come here!" As soon as Fang entered, he saw Chen Meng at the banquet and waved to him.

It wasn't just him, there were more than ten people sitting here, except for a few familiar ones, the rest were distinguished guests who came to cheer for Chen's sake.

Most of them are officials of high rank from various places, and many of them are well-known literati in Yuzhou.

No matter who it is, being able to be arranged here and having Chen Meng here as a company, their status is probably not ordinary, so it should not be underestimated.

"Brother!"

Chen Yi felt helpless, and with a smile on his face, he stepped forward to bow to everyone and said, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Qian, gentlemen, Yi is being polite here!"

"Everyone, this is my little brother. I hope you will take care of me in the future!" Chen Meng also said from the side.

Then he pulled his younger brothers one by one to toast and said: "Come on, brother Yi, let me introduce you for my brother. This one is Mr. Zhu from Chengyi Mansion. This Mr. He who works in Zhoucheng is here for my brother." Elders in the academy."

After this round of introductions, Chen Yi's heart continued to suffer from the names that were reported from his brother's mouth.
He is most impatient with red tape, but these people in front of him are all mountains on their heads.

And during the banquet that followed, Chen Yi was even more shocked by Chen Meng's words and almost lost his composure.

"Little brother, for the formal ceremony later, I asked Uncle Zhang to give you a letter. You must not neglect it in the future!"

"?!" Chen Yi looked at his elder brother with question marks all over his head.

Asking Zhang Ting to bestow a letter on himself, this represents a very special meaning, could it be that he spent half a day out socializing, this cheap brother sold himself, as a congratulatory gift for the alliance between the two families?
Chen Meng blinked, without explaining, and continued to drag him to drink with everyone
An hour later.

Like a puppet on the front line, Chen Yi came out of the east room and sat at the table, and the admirers combed his hair, tied it in a bun, added hairpins, and tied his hair.

Then, the honorable guest with the highest status solemnly crowned him three times.

For the first time, it was a hat made of black linen, and it was a black cloth crown. This is a kind of ancient crown, and the implication cannot be forgotten.

The second time was to add a leather hat, a hat made of white deerskin, implying military service from now on.

Although he has already been on the battlefield.

For the third time, the crown was added to the crown, which was made of red and black fine linen, implying that you can participate in sacrificial ceremonies from now on.

At the same time, add Xuanduan once, then add Pibianfu, add three times and add Juebianfu.
Under this solemn etiquette, he who had no real feeling at first, gradually felt a little more solemn in his heart when he felt the weight on his head and body again and again.

Looking at the younger brother in formal clothes with a calm expression, Chen Meng stood on the north steps, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

Since ancient times, an elder brother is like a father, nothing more than that.

"Also please Zhang Taishou, give my little brother a letter!" He turned around and formally bowed to Zhang Ting beside him.

"In the south there is a sycamore tree, and the geese are lingering on it. A gentleman who is happy makes him happy."

Zhang Ting walked up to Chen Yi, thought for a moment, and said slowly.

"I give you the word Ge Ying, I hope you will remember it in the future, only by following the way of a gentleman can you often get blessings!"

"Chen Yi. Chen Geying." Chen Yi was distracted for a moment, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, he saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Yi, for the prefect!"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Mengxin looked at Chen Yi happily, and said with a smile: "There are always geese entangled in the tree, and a gentleman is always accompanied by blessings, good! Good!"

this day.

Chen Yi inexplicably added a name, and also inexplicably changed from a boy to a young man.
