Chapter 336 Reunion on One Side, Entering the Palace for a Banquet
Cui Yongsheng smiled: "Lang'er Imperial Academy is a bit busy."

"He is the only one busy in the Hanlin Academy? He is not as busy as the top three!" Mrs. Cui roared, but Cui Yongsheng fell silent.

"Tell him to see me at night." The old man said weakly.

At night, Cui Yunlang came.Old Master Cui looked at him: "Why are you so thin?"

The Cui Yunlang in front of him has long lost the unrestrained and unrestrained style he had in the past. He looks calm, but he is a bit melancholy.

Cui Yunlang saluted: "Grandfather, don't worry, everything is fine with your grandson, it's just that it's hard to study books."

The old man didn't believe it: "I think the number one scholar is very handsome, how can you work so hard?"

"Grandfather also said that he is the No. 5 Scholar. I am only No.[-]. I have no power or power. Many things are placed on me."

"You are a descendant of the Cui family!" Grandpa Cui was furious.

Cui Yunlang shook his head and chuckled: "So what about the Cui family? The aristocratic family only has money, not much power."

Old Master Cui refused to accept, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

He changed the subject: "You should take some care of your own marriage."

Cui Yunlang saluted: "Marriage matters are the orders of the parents, the matchmaker's words, and the grandson will obey the arrangements of the grandfather and parents in everything."

Old Master Cui yelled: "Are you blaming me? Blame me for not agreeing to you marrying that Chen Yue!"

Cui Yunlang remained humble: "The grandson never blamed his grandfather, nor was he depressed. In the top five in high school, the grandson said he would listen to his grandfather."

Old Master Cui was so angry that his chest trembled: "But those big families are so arrogant that they all refused. The Cui family is a family!"

Cui Yunlang smiled lightly: "Women from aristocratic families are begged by hundreds of families because of their deep family background and rich dowry, but what are the children and grandchildren of the aristocratic family good for? It's just that there are more land and shops, and how many military officials are there? How much did the family ridicule my father when he took the imperial examination?"

Old Master Cui was too angry to speak, Cui Yunlang saluted again and walked out.

Chen Ying was taken into the palace that day, and Chen Fan and the others went shopping.

Chen Fan joked with a smile: "It's different for those who came to Beijing halfway. They don't have old friends who have been there for many years. The neighbors who often go are just passers-by. I haven't dealt with Yan Fu and Yu Fu so far."

Chen Yue smiled lightly: "They're all children, there's nothing to socialize with. The in-laws don't need to rush to see their daughter-in-law, we'll talk about it when we get married."

They were talking and laughing as they walked, and when they looked up, they found Cui Yunlang standing by the side of the road.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, standing by the door with his head half down, neither looking at the commotion on the street nor at the products in the store.

Chen Yue's expression instantly became distant, and soon returned to normal.

The three of them were all wearing masks, Cui Yunlang might not recognize them, so he didn't go to say hello, just passed by with his head bowed.

"Miss Chen." Cui Yunlang called out.

Chen Fan glanced at Chu Sheng, and continued walking with Chen Yue and Chen Xiu.Chu Sheng and Cui Yunlang said something softly and followed.

The winery is not far away, Chen Fan and the others went to the backyard.Not long after, Cui Yunlang came in.

The two sides saluted, a guy brought tea, and everyone sat down.

Chen Fan spoke first: "Congratulations to Young Master Cui, I didn't thank you in person until today, I hope you will forgive me."

Cui Yunlang smiled lightly and shook his head: "The younger siblings have met each other. The King Cui family has been friends for generations. Zhang Ci and I have known each other since we were young. If you don't mind, just call me elder brother."

The three of Chen Fan called out "brother" in unison.

When he was in Changping Township, Zhang Ci's identity was unknown, and Cui Yunlang and Wu Qisheng were both called sons.Now in the capital, there is no need to hide and tease her in private.

Cui Yunlang glanced at Chen Yue, then looked away, and said, "I haven't congratulated the three younger sisters yet, they are all married."

Chen Yue and Chen Xiu smiled and thanked her.

Everyone started chatting about business and the affairs of the Imperial Academy, and the scene was not cold.

When Yun Lang left, Chen Fan asked him to bring some jars of wine.

She took a sip of tea: "I still remember very clearly the first time I saw him at the Liu family. At that time, he was a noble person to the Liu family and to me. I carefully wrote two letters to him and accepted the first jade pendant I came to Yuanfeng County. At that time, I thought that maybe one day I would rely on the jade pendant to establish a relationship with the governor's mansion so that I could have a backer. Later, he went to the Liu family to mention my marriage with Zhang Ci. Later, he and Chen Jian came to Chang Pingxiang, but returned to the capital in a blink of an eye."

She sighed slightly, and took another sip of tea: "When we got acquainted, the jade pendant was kept at the bottom of the box. Now that it is like this, I have to find a time to return the jade pendant to him."

Chen Yue also sighed: "We meet again occasionally today, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you again in the future. The Xiangjun Manor doesn't need to rely on a jade pendant to beg to see Governor Cui, and it's really useless to keep it."

In the blink of an eye, it was the emperor's birthday, and Chen Fan and the others were about to enter the palace again.

Mrs. Feng came and said to enter the palace with them.

"Mother, is this convenient?" Chen Fan was afraid that Mrs. Feng would be criticized.

"What's so inconvenient? Zhong Shuling has been to Changping Township, and it's a good reason for me to get close to the Lord of Changping Township." Mrs. Feng smiled heartily, "There are so many unfamiliar faces in the capital, someone must take you to get acquainted with them."

The carriage drove to the palace wall, and when everyone got out of the carriage, they saw that there were already many people there.

This place is full of ladies and ladies, all dressed up, colorful and fragrant.

The daughter of an aristocratic family, the wife of the prime minister, as soon as Mrs. Feng arrived, some ladies and ladies gathered around to say hello.Mrs. Feng took Chen Fan and the others to say hello one by one: "This is Mrs. Luo of the Duke of Dingguo, this is Mrs. Mu of the Duke of Zhenguo, and this is Marquis of Yong'an..."

Chen Fan was in the fourth rank, so he didn't need to make too much salute, Chen Yue and the others got their place, they kept making salutes, calling this lady and that lady over and over again, and they had to add their rankings.

so tired!

No one was acting like a monster, and they all kept smiling appropriately, chatting about seemingly intimate and irrelevant topics.

Chen Fan knew in his heart that the more friendly his face was, the more fuss he was making.

Chen Fan answered from left to right, his face almost froze with a smile.

After entering the palace, meeting the queen, and everyone came to the imperial garden, Chen Fan found a place to sit down.

Not familiar, don't want to talk.Even if Mrs. Feng took them around to say hello, Chen Fan didn't want to be too enthusiastic.

She searched for Shi Qingwan in the crowd.

Someone patted her right shoulder lightly, she quickly looked to the left, and saw Shi Qingwan's face.

"Why do you look this way? I have deceived many people with this trick." Shi Qingwan was surprised.

Chen Fan smiled: "I've played this game before." I've played it countless times, and no matter whether the opponent changes positions intentionally, she can reflexively turn to the right direction.

Shi Qingwan smiled: "We haven't seen each other for a long time since I returned to Beijing. None of you came to see me."

"The gate of the Hou Mansion is not easy to enter." Chen Fan laughed.

Shi Qingwan pursed her lips, and sat down next to Chen Fan: "I don't want to enter your door without permission." She paused, and said softly, "We're engaged." Her tone was a bit melancholy.

"Whose son is it?"

Shi Qingwan said that Chen Fan was not familiar with it.Her bewilderment made Shi Qingwan laugh: "I feel that what I say is useless."

The two chatted for a while, and chatted with other people for a while.When he came to the banquet hall, Chen Fan felt that such a banquet had not even started yet, and he was already very tired.

There are many officials above the fourth rank, and the seats are arranged row after row like a movie theater.The position of the Chen family is good, in the second row. After all, Chen Fan has a fourth-rank title, which is better than other fourth-rank wives.
