Looking at such a grand and grand celebration scene, many of the officials in the capital who participated in the banquet couldn't help but look envious and yearning on their faces.

"It seems that Cheng Guogong's fortune is really unstoppable. Even the maids who are in the genealogy are Qilin's sons who can pass the imperial examination in high school."

"It's not just Huiyuan, Chen Yichen or Jieyuan, Xiao Sanyuan's case leader. If you go one step further, there may be a top scholar. How do you think you're blocking your luck?"

"Six poems gather together. With this fortune, Duke Cheng may have to attack our position as the first duke of the Ming Dynasty."

"So if you want your family to prosper, you have to look at the abilities of your descendants. It's really envious to others."

The envious and verbal words of the officials present reached more or less the ears of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong.

At this time, his face turned red and his heart was blooming. He was always welcomed by the guests. Chen Yichen's Huiyuan today was so beautiful!

Who can replicate such highlights in the dynasty, except for the Duke of Chengguo Mansion?

Who else!

When the news of Chen Yichen's high school Huiyuan spread, it also caused a burst of surprise.

"I know that Mr. Chen is Wenquxing, and now it has come true."

"Eighteen-year-old Hui Yuanlang, I have never had any of the Ming Dynasty. How amazing will I achieve in the future?"

"Mr. Chen is a young talented man and is a new student in high school. I don't know which sister's wishful husband can become."

As soon as he heard the word "Ruyi Langjun", many unmarried ladies at the scene immediately felt shy between their eyebrows.

You should know that even if you are the daughter of a Duke, Hou, Xunqi, it is not easy to betroth a high-quality husband. In most cases, you will become a victim of political marriages and your lifelong happiness is insecurity.

Now Chen Yichen is so talented and beautiful, the new Huiyuan, who is in front of him. If the ladies in the official family say that they have no thoughts in their hearts, they are deceiving themselves.

However, due to the ancient etiquette, they could not express their inner expectations, and could only hope that their parents could seize the opportunity and find a good son-in-law like Chen Yichen for themselves.

"Sister Qingtong, I heard that you went to school at the Duke of Yingtiancheng's Mansion since you were a child. Wouldn't you be called a childhood sweetheart with Mr. Chen?"

When an official lady saw Chen Qingtong laughing happily, she asked her.

"Ah? It's barely..."

Chen Qingtong replied in a hurry, trying his best to hide the joy in his heart.

Because Chen Yichen's high school education means that he is one step closer to gaining his father's recognition, and he is also one step closer to being with him. How can Chen Qingtong not be happy?

"How did Mr. Chen perform when he was a child? Is he talented?"

"It is rumored that strange phenomena have occurred in Wenquxing. Have you ever seen Sister Qingtong?"

"Sister Qingtong, Mr. Chen is so outstanding, but he has a sweetheart. Can you help the sisters find out?"

When the ladies of the officials who attended the banquet heard that Chen Qingtong and Chen Yichen met, they immediately surrounded him, wanting to learn more about him.

Faced with this situation, Chen Qingtong couldn't stand it and could only say perfunctorily: "The private school of Yingtiancheng Duke's Mansion is divided into internal and external courtyards. I don't have much contact with Mr. Chen, and the sisters' questions are really unanswered."

Hearing this, many ladies in the official family showed disappointment on their faces. If you want to know Chen Yichen, why is it so difficult?

Compared with the curiosity of the officials' ladies, Mrs. Lin, the wife of Duke Cheng Guo, had a gloomy face at this time and was about to drip out of water!

What she was looking forward to today was that her son would be "double happiness" and would show off her skills in front of the officials of the banquet, so that the world could understand that Zhu Ji, the second son of the Duke of Chengguo Mansion, was not inferior to Zhu Yi, the eldest son, and also had the ability to inherit the position of Duke.

As a result, Lin never expected that all the attention, praise, and recognition were snatched away by Chen Yichen, the maid. His son was not even a supporting role, and he completely became a clown who failed the exam!

How can Lin accept this situation?

Originally, Lin was madly jealous in his anger, but the wife of the Yongkang Hou was not aware of this problem at all. She said with a smile: "Mrs. Mrs. Zhu, the nobleman Chen of the noble family, Cheng Yuanzhen, is a man of the high school. Her daughter is still waiting to be married in her 28th year. The more I look at her, the more suitable I am."

"It just so happens that the little girl is thankful for Mrs. Zhu's affection, so it's better to choose a day than to meet the day. Why don't you ask a matchmaker to match the birth dates and horoscopes of both parties to see if it's a pair of people made of heaven and earth?"

Lin had previously proposed the idea of ​​marriage, but Mrs. Yongkang's wife was not very willing to agree to the marriage, and she mainly disliked Chen Yichen's humble origin as a maid.

But one after another, who would have expected that Chen Yichen not only won the Jinshi, but also the Huiyuan who ranked high in the top position?

Even if the 18-year-old young Hui Yuanlang does not have the background of the Duke Cheng’s Mansion, his future will be immeasurable. For example, the wife of Yongkang, who is not sure about this potential stock, has basically said goodbye to the noble lady circle.

Lin was in a moment of distractedness, and she was not in the mood to help Chen Yichen consider what kind of marriage. In addition, the other party was too snobbish, so she was disgusted and subconsciously prepared to refuse.

But when he said that, Lin suddenly came to his senses. Chen Yichen was not his own son, so he had to help him consider his in-laws' virtues?

As an "enemy", I wish Chen Yichen's in-laws had a stingy power, and the best way to make a house uneasy, so that I can relieve my hatred!

Thinking of this, Lin responded with a smile on his face: "What Mrs. Xu said, I'll order someone to find a matchmaker and make the marriage first."

“So good, hahaha.”

The two concubines and concubines were smiling happily, but one of them was really happy, while the other one was smiling but not smiling.

After three rounds of drinking in the front hall, it was time for the wedding banquet to end.

Zhu Ji was already drunk and unconscious and was carried into the bridal chamber. As for whether he was drunk or seeking to get drunk, he probably only knew in his heart.

In addition to Zhu Ji, people like He Pingyan, Sun Shaozong and others were also taken away from the Duke's Mansion.

Especially He Pingyan, he always looked like a young and mature person in front of everyone, and he was very concerned about his joy and anger. Today, others couldn't persuade him, and he was drunk and left. It was obvious that he felt depressed and could not be released.

After all, Chen Yichen was suppressed by the provincial examination, and now the imperial examination was suppressed by the one. How can He Pingyan accept his fate with such a thousand-year-old fate?

As the guests bid farewell one after another, there were only a few tables of honorary officials left in the front hall, and the female relatives in the back house also came out and prepared to leave the mansion together.

Lin was walking hand in hand with Mrs. Yongkang, looking extremely intimate. After she arrived at the front hall, she stood beside Zhu Yong, the drunk Duke of Cheng Guo, and whispered: "Mr., I was in the back house just now and helped Yichen get married for the birth date and horoscope. I found that he and the daughter of Mr. Yongkang were good matches made by heaven and earth."

"So I took my own initiative and invited a matchmaker to come over. Master, can you please be more happy? Why just make a reservation with Yongkang Marquis today?"

Because Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong drank a little too much, his mind had become very slow at this time.

After hearing Lin's words, he did not realize the problem at all, and he didn't even realize what was going on. He replied with a mouthful of alcohol: "Are you talking about getting engaged to Marquis Yongkang?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy front hall became quiet in an instant. The honorary officials present all looked at Duke Cheng, Zhu Yong and Hou Yongkang, Xu An. The marriage between the two families was too sudden.

Chen Ying, Hou Taining at the same table, was drunk with Zhu Yong, and woke up at that moment and looked at Chen Yichen with an incredible look.

He didn't know whether this was Duke Cheng's idea or whether it was Chen Yichen's consent. If it was the former, then there was nothing to say about his parents' fate. If it was the latter, then Chen Ying would be too disappointed!

You should know that at the sacrificial ceremony that day, Chen Ying had already given Chen Yichen a chance, which was a great concession for the Marquis.

Could it be that Chen Yichen didn’t even have this patience, and could not wait to marry the Duke and Martial Family, and pave the way for his future career?

Chen Qingtong on the other side had originally come out of the back house, but she thought she could look at Chen Yichen for two more times to relieve her lovesickness.

As a result, the first sentence I heard when I came to the front hall was that Duke Cheng said he wanted to get engaged to Marquis Yongkang.

Now the eldest son of Duke Cheng’s mansion has already started a family, and the second son’s wedding banquet has not yet ended, so the so-called engagement is naturally the only one left Chen Yichen.

Chen Qingtong could never imagine that Chen Yichen, whom he expected, would become a lover and a wishful husband in other people's family, who would be recognized by his father!

The words of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong were like a bolt from the blue to Chen Qingtong, and tears as big as beans could no longer be controlled. The so-called "Baochai joins, and lovers will meet again" oath is nothing more than a joke after all.

After a brief shock, some ministers of the Xunqiu, who drank less and responded faster, began to bow to Duke Cheng, Zhu Yong.

"Congratulations to Mr. Duke, it seems that today is the three joys."

"The time for the Golden List has arrived, and you will soon be able to have another wedding night wine."

"A man and woman are really good matches, congratulations."

"Mr. Yongkang is really looking like a torch. Huiyuanlang's pearl has not escaped your magical eyes."

Listening to everyone's congratulations, Xu An, the Marquis of Yongkang, was actually in a state of confusion. After all, Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, heard a passage from Lin. He didn't even know what happened, so someone celebrated his happy son-in-law.

Huiyuan Chen Yichen is my son-in-law?

After coming to his senses, Yongkang Hou suddenly realized that this matter seemed quite good.

Needless to say, Chen Yichen's talent is the best proof. Huiyuan's fame is the best proof, and his appearance can be called Yushu, with a dignified appearance, and he has not treated his daughter badly.

In addition, the actions of leading the scholars to complain about the wrongdoers are vaguely like a young literati leader in the capital. No matter how you think you can pick up such a son-in-law for nothing.

Just as the Marquis of Yongkang was about to accept it, Chen Yichen, who had been silent, suddenly walked to Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng and bowed to his great tribute.

"Thank you, my younger brother, for being the master, for getting engaged to Marquis Taining!"

Originally, Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng Guo, said that he had engaged with the Marquis of Yongkang, was already sudden enough for the important officials present.

They never expected that there was another episode in this drama. Chen Yichen thanked Duke Cheng Guo for getting engaged to Hou Taining as the leader?

Did you not hear it clearly after drinking too much, or did you have an ear problem? Did Duke Cheng just talk about Marquis Taining?

"Why is Duke Cheng talking about the Marquis of Yongkang or Taining? Why does it feel wrong?"

"I sound like Marquis Yongkang, who do you guys listen to?"

"I also sound like Marquis Yongkang, why would Chen Yichen say Marquis Taining?"

"Why do you feel like you heard Taining Hou? Did I just hear it wrong?"

"I also sound like Taining Hou. Even if we hear it wrong, Chen Yichen himself could not have made it wrong, right?"

Many important officials felt as if they were trapped in a Rashomon at this moment. For a moment, they were not sure whether Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, was talking about the Marquis of Yongkang or Taining.

Moreover, Chen Yichen spoke so righteously and his expression was extremely solemn, and he didn't look like he would make a mistake.

When Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong heard Chen Yichen's thanks, he also realized the problem and instantly woke up most of the time. Today, the honorary officials and important officials were present to watch. If they were not handled well, they would offend the two marquises, which was not a trivial matter.

Although he drank a little too much and was not completely awake, Zhu Yong was sure that he had heard from Lin's family, and she said that she would book the marriage with Yongkang Marquis today, not Taining Marquis.

Then why did Chen Yichen thank Hou Taining? Did he hear it wrong?
