After leaving the palace, Chai Yan found a nearby and good restaurant on his way home, and quickly ordered a very sumptuous banquet.
In the evening, Chai Yan called the five Ge Hongs, Uncle Cai, Aunt Yun and Xiao Kui to go to the restaurant together.
The atmosphere at the banquet was quite lively, and everyone was very happy to eat and drink. Chai Yan also took the time to talk about his experience with the five Ge Hongs. After listening to it, Uncle Cai felt a lot more at ease, and he was very grateful to the five Ge Hongs.
My attitude is also much better.
Because they were happy, Ge Hong and the other five toasted to Chai Yan one after another. Chai Yan did not ask for help from Shangguan Peining this time, but drank every cup by himself.
Unexpectedly, after several rounds, Chai Yan felt drunk. When he was dizzy, he quickly waved his hands and shook his head, indicating that he could no longer drink.
But Ge Hong, Cheng Jiu, and even Guan Maochun were drunk, and they still kept raising glasses to Chai Yan with extremely enthusiastic attitudes.
Aunt Yun couldn't bear the thought of so many people drinking Chai Yan, so she immediately stepped forward, took their wine bowls, and started drinking.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Yun drank up all the wine that everyone offered, but Aunt Yun, without blushing or out of breath, asked loudly with her hands on her hips: "Is there any more, is there any more?"
At this moment, everyone realized that Aunt Qingqing Yun was a heroine in the wine world, completely unworthy of men!
After shouting for a while, Aunt Yun finally sat down and started eating the food with peace of mind. At this moment, Uncle Cai secretly gave a thumbs up under the table and whispered: "Cuiyun, I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking!"
Aunt Yun's lips curled up slightly, and she said proudly: "I forgot to tell you, when I was a kid, there was a brewery next door to my house, and the kid next door and I would steal wine and drink every day."
----------------------------------
The next morning, Chai Yan was still sleeping in bed and having sweet dreams, when Xiao Kui suddenly ran over and called the door.
Chai Yan opened the door impatiently and asked sleepily: "Hey, will you let me sleep well?"
"No, young master..."
Just as Xiaokui was about to speak, Chai Yan interrupted her.
"...Is it possible that another bad guy came to your door today?"
Xiaokui shook her head and said quickly: "No, no, young master, listen to me, someone from the palace is here, saying they are here to deliver the imperial edict!"
"Preaching the imperial edict?" Chai Yan lost most of his sleepiness in an instant.
Xiaokui nodded vigorously and said: "It's true, young master, it's the eunuch from the palace who is here. Uncle Cai asked the servants to come and help the young master get up, wash and change clothes. He and Uncle Ge have already gone to prepare the incense table."
After listening to Xiaokui's words, Chai Yan's sleepiness disappeared and he quickly got dressed and washed up.
After a cup of tea, Chaiyan, who had finished washing up, rushed to the main hall.
At the corner outside the main hall, not only Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun were there, but also Ge Hong and Cheng Jiu. When everyone saw Chai Yan coming, they all surrounded him.
"Master, you're finally here!" Uncle Cai breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Yun looked happy and lowered her voice: "Master, congratulations, you are about to be promoted again!"
Ge Hong and the five others all cast their eyes on Chai Yan's face, and their eyes contained joy and excitement.
Chai Yan nodded without saying anything, walked through everyone, and headed towards the main hall.
When he arrived in front of the hall door, Chai Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person who came to deliver the edict was actually Eunuch Pei Yang. At this time, his hands were holding an imperial edict.
Pei Yang stood straight in front of the incense table with his eyes slightly closed as if he was concentrating. There were two young eunuchs standing on each side of him. The four of them had their breasts in their hands and their heads bowed, looking very submissive.
"I'm sorry for keeping Eunuch Pei waiting for so long." Chai Yan said polite words while cupping his hands and quickly entered the main hall.
Pei Yang heard the sound and immediately opened his eyes, with a pleasant smile on his face: "Master Chai, the Za family has just arrived..."
After the two briefly exchanged greetings, Pei Yang got the topic on track and said loudly: "The Emperor has an edict, and Chai Yan will take it!"
Chai Yan immediately knelt down in the hall and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, Chai Yan, accept the order!"
Pei Yang slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read aloud: "In response to the fate of heaven, the emperor decreed that Baron Chai Yan of Anping County is young and promising, with both intelligence and courage, and is truly the pillar of the imperial court...
."
.............
At the corner outside the hall, everyone held their breath and wanted to hear the content of the imperial edict clearly, but unfortunately Pei Yang's voice was limited. He was standing at the corner outside the hall with his back to the wind, so he couldn't hear the content clearly at all.
Guan Maochun listened for a long time and couldn't hear clearly what the Holy Spirit was saying. He couldn't help but want to ask everyone if they heard clearly. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that everyone was trying to keep quiet, so he had to endure it for the time being.
.
Soon, Pei Yang finally finished reading the imperial edict in the main hall, and he was heard singing loudly: "...I admire this!"
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan was heard shouting: "My lord, Chai Yan, thank you for your kindness! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Hearing this, Guan Maochun knew it was over, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, what did the imperial edict say just now? What official position did the emperor hold after he was promoted?"
Ge Hong frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't hear clearly. What about you?"
With that said, Ge Hong turned to ask Cheng Jiu: "Fourth, did you hear clearly? What was said?"
Cheng Jiu was also confused. He shook his head and said: "I didn't hear clearly, but anyway, I just promoted you to an official position. As for what official you were promoted to, I'll ask you later and you'll know!"
Yu Tie and Fatty Lai listened to Cheng Jiu's words and nodded in agreement at the same time.
Uncle Cai felt that these people were too noisy and was worried that they would be rude in front of the eunuch in charge, so he put his finger to his mouth and said in a low voice: "Shh! You speak softly, you are rude in front of others, and our young master will lose it."
Face!"
When Ge Hong and the other five people heard that this was indeed the truth, they quickly shut up and kept quiet and stopped making noises.
After waiting for a while, Uncle Cai didn't see the young master calling him over, so he couldn't help but take a small step forward. When he looked up, it turned out that Chai Yan was already talking with Pei Yang with a smile on his hands.
As he was watching, he saw Chai Yan turning his head to look out of the hall and calling, "Uncle Cai!"
Uncle Cai was startled, and then hurriedly walked into the hall.
Chai Yan ordered: "Uncle Cai, go immediately and pack some silver for your four father-in-laws to keep."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he heard Pei Yang say: "Uncle Chai County, you can't do this!"
As soon as Uncle Cai heard this title, he understood in his heart that the county commissioner was an earl, and the young master actually skipped the title of viscount and was promoted from baron to earl!
Pei Yang said very seriously: "Uncle Chai County, this is not possible. How dare they accept your silver? They can't do it, they can't do it..."
But Chai Yan didn't care and signaled Uncle Cai to seal the money quickly.
The moment Uncle Cai turned around to leave, Chai Yan suddenly took out a few banknotes from his sleeves and stuffed them into Pei Yang's hand without revealing anything.
"Eunuch Pei, you have worked so hard to get out of the palace this early in the morning. Chai Yan should give you some money for tea. What's the big deal? I think even if the emperor knew, he wouldn't say anything." Chai Yan smiled and patted him.
Patted Pei Yang's hand.
Pei Yang didn't even look at the amount of the banknote. He quickly put it into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Uncle Chai County, that would be disrespectful to the Za family!"

PS: Yesterday, I took my children to watch "Agent in Disguise" to kill time. Before watching it, I thought it was very ordinary and average, but unexpectedly it turned out to be surprisingly good. The children were very happy watching it and were entertained throughout the whole process. I would like to recommend this by the way. It is very suitable.
