Chapter 116 Celebration
Chapter 1,16 Celebration
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Chengxu walked up, and at the same time he did not forget to look at the people around him.
The eyes of these people are so hot that many people show a look of envy in their eyes. Moreover, many of these people do not know them, and some of them know them.
If they had not won the competition and had not won the fourth-rank official from the court, would these people still wait for themselves to come back at their doorstep? I guess they should be waiting for Situ Ren at the doorstep of Situ’s house!
People always seem to be so realistic. Just like ants, there are sweet things there, so they will gather there!
However, no matter whether these people are false or sincerely for themselves, those are no longer important now. If these people come, then they should naturally compete for their Ouyang family.
He handed his official uniform to the entourage behind him, Ouyang Chengxu walked up, then knelt down in front of Ouyang Ming, kowtowed, "Father, the child has fulfilled his mission. Now the emperor has given him the child the fourth rank official position!"
After saying that, he raised his head and shook his eyes at the man behind him. The follower of course understood what Ouyang Chengxu meant, and also knelt in front of Ouyang Ming, holding the official uniform over his head!
The tonic in the official uniform is at the top, and anyone with a little common sense knows it. The pattern on the tonic represents the official position of a fourth-rank official!
Ouyang Ming was already in tears, and his body was trembling slightly. He stretched out his hand and slowly touched the suddenness on it. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, get up!"
Ouyang Chengxu then stood up. At this time, the crackling sound of firecrackers had already begun to remember, and the drum music did not forget to start playing hard. The entire Ouyang Mansion was immediately filled with joy!
"good!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly at this time, and then there were a lot of applause and applause. The whole atmosphere suddenly reached its climax!
At the same time, the people standing at the door also retreated and went straight to the yard. The two sides were all full of people. Although Ouyang Chengxu had not passed any provincial examinations or imperial examinations, it was a fact that he was a fourth-rank official in the court now.
Ouyang Chengxu suddenly felt like he was standing out, just like a triumphant general. He had seen this scene several times. It was like this when Lord Wang was triumphant. There were cheering people on both sides. He was a hero of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is the same, and he enjoys the same treatment as a hero.
But this is just the beginning. The oldest person in the Ouyang family is Ouyang Chengxu's grandmother. Now he is the highest-ranking person in the entire mansion. After Ouyang Chengxu stepped in, he also knelt deeply in front of him. His grandmother was also filled with tears. The Ouyang family is a family of merchants, but there has never been any official. You must know that at this time, although merchants make a lot of money, their status is very low. Now Ouyang Chengxu is simply shining with his family!
Of course, the next process is to pay tribute to the ancestors, and of course, it is also to tell them that there was also an official from the Ouyang family, and the official position is quite large!
Perhaps this is nothing for ordinary officials, but it is different for families like the Ouyang family.
Many guests are paying attention to the whole process!
The yard is now full of banquets. Although it is very hasty, money can make the devil push the mill. There is nothing else that can’t be done with money. Even in a hurry, the rich banquet has been made at this time with the busyness of the chefs mobilized from various restaurants. After all, today is the big day of Ouyang Mansion, and there is no problem with this silver, but this face is very but important. Naturally, those guests cannot be unable to eat such decent wine and food!
The ceremony was over, and it was almost noon, and there were guests coming one after another at this time. After all, it was a bit scarce at this time. After receiving the news, they rushed over immediately. Of course, they had to prepare some gifts and so on!
"Mr. Murong, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Murong Yan, the owner of Murong Private School, is here!"
The villain in charge of the welcome at the door was also very clever and shouted loudly. You know, no one else reported it if the other people came, but these two people were different. They were famous!
This shout immediately made everyone look at each other. Many of the people who came were merchants. Among these merchants, they knew very well. After joining the chamber of commerce, in fact, it was a big road to Jinshan. As for Murong Yan, of course, he is also a celebrity now. No one would talk about it again at this time. No one would like to stay in the prison of Dongchang. Some of the people who were arrested had been released, but some had not been released yet. For them, the prison of Dongchang was simply hell. What they heard the most every day was the screams and moans of the prisoners. Those who had already made them understand thoroughly that some people in this capital could not be said randomly, and Murong Yan was one of them!
Of course, some people who are familiar with the matter also know that Ouyang Chengxu is able to do today, largely because of Murong Yan's recommendation. Otherwise, Ouyang Chengxu would probably have to go overseas with the caravan like others after completing his studies, and then he didn't know when it would be a day to make a comeback!
When Ouyang Chengxu and his son, who were greeting guests inside, heard that there were still some hesitations. They quickly accused the guests and walked out in a hurry.
For Murong Yan, Ouyang Chengxu's gratitude now is just like his gratitude to Jiang Lang. Without her recommendation, how could he be today? To put it very practical, she has long been the current self!
Walking in front of Murong Yan, Ouyang Chengxu knelt on the ground without any hesitation!
This scared Murong Yan and hurriedly said, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, so many people are watching!"
Ouyang Chengxu had no intention of getting up at all, but kowtowed heavily, and then said aloud: "Without the recommendation of the owner of the park, I, Ouyang Chengxu, have today? Everything today is thanks to the owner of the park. The owner of the park is my recreational parents! I have no choice but to kowtow and thank you!"
Murong Yan bent over and pulled him up, saying, "If a man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel casually? Get up quickly!"
Ouyang Chengxu shook his head, kowtowed twice again, then stood up and said, "Princess Master, please come inside!"
Murong Yan nodded. Although these people who came today were all guests, they were of level difference, and they could be regarded as VIPs. What surprised the other guests was that they did not expect Murong Fu and Murong Yan to come. However, they understood that this was normal.
Beauty Yan looked around and asked in a low voice: "Are you here, Lord Wang?"
Ouyang Chengxu shook his head and said, "No, when he left the palace, he would not have come with the Prime Minister!"
To be honest, Ouyang Chengxu was still a little disappointed. In fact, he really hoped that Jiang Lang and the Prime Minister would come too. Of course, it was not because they came to make him more face or something. To a large extent, he wanted to thank them. In addition to Murong Yan, Jiang Lang was the person he wanted to be grateful to the most. Although Murong Yan's recommendation was recommended, if he had not given this opportunity, he would not have had the glory of today.
Murong Yan couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange. When we came half an hour ago, we met him and the Prime Minister. He also said that we were coming here to have a drink today. We originally asked them to go with us, but they said there was something else!"
"What?"
Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but be shocked and said in surprise: "You said Lord Wang and Prime Minister are coming!"
Murong Yan nodded and said, "That's what he said. I think he should come. He won't lie!"
Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help feeling a little excited. He didn't expect that the two of them would come. That was something he didn't dare to think about. He hurriedly said, "Then I'll go to the door to greet them!"
Murong Yan shook her head and smiled, "No, I guess they are coming in casual clothes later. They don't want to come with great fanfare, so you don't have to greet them deliberately!"
Murong Yan was actually sure that Jiang Lang must be casually dressed, because today the protagonist is Ouyang Chengxu, and if he and Yu Qian are still wearing the government, wouldn’t it be a bit overwhelming!
Ouyang Chengxu understood what Murong Yan meant when he thought about it, and nodded and led the two of them into the scene. However, he was still thinking about Jiang Lang and Yu Qian. However, except for him, the rest of the family probably did not know them. So after settled down Murong Fu and his daughter, he went straight to the door to wait. In the eyes of others, he was there to welcome the guests who were rising and congratulating. Many people had a lot of opinions about him, at least on the surface, he seemed to have no airs at all!
But they didn't know that Ouyang Chengxu's purpose was to wait for Jiang Lang!
Jiang Lang and Yu Qian are indeed walking here now!
After leaving the palace, Yu Qian wanted Jiang Lang to treat him, so Jiang Lang naturally had no objection. It was still early, so the two of them did not take the bus, so they walked slowly towards the restaurant!
But not far away, Jiang Lang heard someone calling him, turned around and saw a carriage coming, and then stopped beside him. Murong Yan and Murong Fu walked down from inside.
After getting off the car, Murong Yan immediately asked, "Prime Minister, brother, are you planning to go?"
Before Jiang Lang answered, Yu Qian said first: "Your brother treats you. We are planning to go to the restaurant. Where are you going?"
"A restaurant?"
Murong Yan couldn't help but be surprised and said strangely: "Don't you go to Ouyang Mansion? We have received the definite news that Ouyang Chengxu has been awarded the title of fourth-rank official in the court this morning, and we are planning to go to Ouyang Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qian turned his head to look at Jiang Lang and asked, "I said, should we go there too?"
Jiang Langqi said, "What? The Prime Minister is not planning to let me treat you?"
Yu Qian smiled and said, "This guest is still something to invite, but it's just another day. You chose Ouyang Chengxu, and he actually faces many difficulties. Now Ouyang Mansion should be celebrating it. If I want you to go there, it should be of great encouragement to Ouyang Chengxu!"
After thinking a little, Jiang Lang also understood what Yu Qian said. If he went there, he could show his importance to Ouyang Chengxu. He said immediately: "Well, then go there, but it is a bit unsuitable for us to go out of this way, and at least we have to prepare some gifts. It's better to do this. Let's go back first and change into casual clothes, and then go together?"
The two of them are now in the official uniforms, so it would be a bit inappropriate if they go there. After all, today is a good day for Ouyang Chengxu. Once these two of them appeared in the official uniforms, wouldn’t they be too arrogant? So they agreed: “Well, okay, that’s it, then you two will take the lead. Lord Wang and I will come later!”
Murong Yan also understood what the two meant, so she agreed. After taking the leave, she and Murong Fu went to Ouyang Mansion first.
Jiang Lang and Yu Qian also parted in this place. They went back to change their clothes, then chose a gift and put it in a gift box, and then drove to Yu Qian's house. Yu Qian also packed it up, so the two of them headed towards Ouyang Mansion together.
Today, Ouyang Mansion is indeed very lively, and the door is full of traffic, so the two got out of the car a hundred steps away from the door, without any followers, and walked towards the door with gifts.
Those who don’t know them don’t know the old and the young. The two who dress very well are the most powerful people in the court today. After all, not many people know them!
When they walked to the door, they saw Ouyang Chengxu greeting the guests who were entering. The two looked at each other and walked up.
Ouyang Chengxu, who was waiting for a long time, also saw Yu Qian and Jiang Lang. He was happy and hurriedly walked forward and was about to kneel down to salute. Jiang Lang hurriedly stopped him and said, "No need to be too polite!"
After saying that, he handed over the gift and smiled and said, "This is my little intention!"
Ouyang Chengxu remembered Murong Yan's words and understood that the two of them did not want to attract attention. He immediately took the gift and said respectfully: "Two, please come in!"
After saying that, he led the way forward, while Jiang Lang and Yu Qian walked in front to lead the way!
For ordinary businessmen, they basically have no chance to meet Jiang Lang and Yu Qian, so they did not attract the attention of some other people, but there are exceptions, one of them is Liang Ren.
Although Liang Xiaoyue was so angry that she returned to her parents' home because of the old lady's words, today is Ouyang Chengxu's big day, and Liang Ren also plans to take the opportunity to win over Ouyang Ming. After all, the Liang family has not joined the chamber of commerce yet. Now Ouyang Chengxu is also considered a life-long official in the court. Sometimes he wants to ask him for help. Liang Xiaoyue couldn't help but be frustrated by his father, and finally agreed. However, after coming in, he found a seat to sit down and did not meet his husband.
Looking at the guests who kept pouring in, Liang Ren couldn't help but sigh: "Look, this is the so-called "one person has achieved enlightenment and a chicken and a dog to ascend to heaven. I don't know how many people from the Ouyang family are here to curry favor with them now!"
Liang Xiaoyue glanced at her father and said in anger: "So do you also hope that you are the one who is a chicken or a dog, and then you can take you to heaven?"
After being spoken back by his daughter like this, Liang Ren's fat face suddenly showed a hint of displeasure, and said, "What are you saying this? I am your father. Did anyone say that to his father?"
"snort……!"
Liang Xiaoyue snorted coldly and said, "How could I not know what you are thinking about? But it's a pity that you looked down on your in-laws before, but now others may not look down on you. And as far as I can tell, although this second uncle is now in the fourth rank, it has little to do with this chamber of commerce. I think your wishful thinking may be empty!"
"How could it be okay?"
Liang Ren retorted, "This chamber of commerce belongs to the court, Ouyang Chengxu is also an official of the court, and he is a student of Murong Yan. It would be a very simple thing to ask him to help him say a few words at that time. Maybe it would be enough. Alas... If this fourth-rank official is your husband, how much would it be!"
"Your daughter doesn't have that life!"
Liang Xiaoyue said angrily, "Just his head, do business with other foreigners, don't even think about it. I'll make it clear here first. I'll ask you to go by yourself, I can't afford to lose that person!"
After saying that, Liang Xiaoyue looked at her father and found that he was staring at the door blankly. She said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Liang Ren suddenly felt his teeth trembling, and opened his mouth a few times before saying, "Wang... Lord Wang!"
Liang Ren was invited by Jiang Lang for tea, so he knew Jiang Lang!
Liang Xiaoyue looked up and saw Ouyang Chengxu walking towards the inner room with two people. In the inner room, Murong Yan and his daughter were sitting. Even though his father was a relative, he had not been invited in now. However, the two men were old and the other were young, but they didn't know who he was talking about. He said strangely: "What Lord Wang, is it the one in the East Factory?"
Liang Ren nodded and said, "It's him, I didn't expect him to come too. Well, I think I'll go outside!"
Liang Xiaoyue pursed her lips and said, "Why are you hiding? You are not a prisoner now, but who is that Lord Wang?"
"It's the youngest one!"
Liang Ren remembered Jiang Lang clearly. He dreamed of this dream several times, but every time he dreamed that he had been chopped up his head, so he was extremely scared!
Liang Xiaoyue looked carefully and said in surprise: "So young?"
I didn't expect that such a powerful person would be so young, which was beyond the expectations. After a pause, I said: "I don't think you have to hide. Instead, you should go in and toast later. It would be fine if others didn't know him, but how could you do it if you didn't know him or not!"
"Toast?"
Chapter completed!
