Chapter 33 Three Happiness Comes

"Old Master Zheng, this is..." Only Zheng Jianqiu was the most likely person present to invite Chen Que to the meeting. Chen Wanrong thought it was him, so he said that Zheng Jianqiu shook his head and rejected it. In this way, Chen Wanrong was even more surprised at why Chen Que came. Now is not the time to get to the bottom of the matter. We should welcome guests as the most important thing. He went out to the crowd and came to Chen Que, holding his fists and saluted: "Chen Wanrong, a grass man, met Lord Shen." According to etiquette, the people should kneel down when they see officials. Chen Wanrong had gold under his knees, so that Chen Que would not kneel down.

Such a very rude thing, Zheng Jianqiu secretly made Chen Wanrong feel worried. However, what surprised him was that Chen Que accepted Chen Wanrong's rudeness calmly and fisted back to his greeting: "Chen Que has met Brother Wanrong!" He grabbed Chen Wanrong, looked left and right, and was intimate, as if he was an old friend.

The two met for the first time, so intimate. Zheng Jianqiu and the others were unexpectedly surprised. Chen Wanrong didn't know why Chen Que was so close to him. He started acting with a kind smile on his face: "Mr. Shen is here, Chen Wanrong has not welcomed him. Please forgive me."

"Brother Wanrong's words are serious, Chen Que comes uninvited, and he is considered an uninvited guest. Brother Wanrong is not kicking me out, so I am very grateful." Chen Que is not stupid, and his words are appropriate. He turned around and introduced Chen Wanrong one by one to the county magistrate, staff, and wealthy people who followed him.

Chen Wanrong naturally welcomed each other enthusiastically, and after the ceremony, everyone was invited into the house. Chen Wanrong deliberately fell behind and was next to Huang Boming. He pulled his sleeve and asked softly: "Mr. Huang, why are you?"

Huang Boming and Chen Wanrong's relationship is not bad. He gave Chen Wanrong a blank look: "Brother Wanrong, you are so disgusting. I won't tell you if you open it today, and I won't let me bother you with a glass of water and wine."

"Mr. Huang is busy with things. Am I afraid that you will be unable to do anything?" Chen Wanrong said with a smile.

Huang Boming whispered in Chen Wanrong's ear: "Brother Wanrong, it's a matter of coming to you today. It's a matter of congratulations to you, but there's another even more important thing. You're having a double happiness today."

"What's the matter?" Chen Wanrong was as confused as if he was just two o'clock in the morning. When he heard this, he could not ask for a clear reason.

Huang Boming did not be a good teacher this time, but kept it in hiding: "Mr. Shen will tell you later. Brother Wanrong, just wait and hear the good news."

His performance was really unexpected to Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong jokingly said: "Mr. Huang, if you don't say it, be careful I won't give you any wine."

"You are not that kind of person!" Huang Boming blocked Chen Wanrong with one sentence.

He really had no choice but to let him go and follow him to accompany Chen Que. When he came to the courtyard, Chen Wanrong asked Chen Que and others to come to serve tea, and Chen Zairong came to accompany him. There were not many people in such a large courtyard who were truly qualified to accompany the county magistrate. Although Chen Zairong had no fame, he was a scholar after all, and had a great future. It was appropriate for him to accompany him.

Chen Zairong picked up the tea cup and presented tea to Chen Que according to the etiquette of the scholar: "I went to learn from my later years and went to Master Chen Zairong to respect Lord Shen."

Chen Que is a scholar and a senior. It is natural for Chen Zairong to offer him tea. However, when Chen Que heard this, he looked flattered: "Brother Chen Nian, how dare Chen Que be your tea! Let it go, I will come by myself!" He really dared not accept Chen Zairong's tea cup. Especially the title "Brother Nian" is even more incomprehensible.

Not only Chen Wanrong was confused, but also Zheng Jianqiu was confused. Chen Wanrong glanced at Huang Boming, as if this was as expected. What happened?

Chen Que clashed with Huang Boming and said, "Mr. Huang, this is your school affairs, so you should talk about it."

Huang Boming responded and took out the document from his arms and handed it to Chen Zairong: "Zairong, this is the document of the Imperial College. I'll be here to take the exam within three days."

When they came last time, they told Chen Wanrong that the county center decided to recommend Chen Zairong to take the exam, and it took only a few days to complete it. The efficiency of Tangren's work is really convincing.

Chen Que took over the conversation and said, "The assessment will be held in three days. It is mainly for the children of good families in several counties near Chang'an in Guanzhong. This one is not the same as the other, and the prince will personally evaluate it. With the wise wisdom of the prince, it will never allow talented people like Zai Rong to be covered with the dust. Zai Rong's future is bright! There are talented people like Chen Nian in this county, and Chen Que dare not congratulate you! Chen Nian, congratulations, congratulations!"

The reason why Princess Taiping joined forces with Li Longji to kill Princess Wei and Anle was to a large extent that she looked down on Li Longji. She thought she was scheming and thought that Wu Zetian admired her very much, let alone Li Longji, a young man, was not her opponent. However, she soon discovered that she was wrong. Although Li Longji was young, she was extremely courageous and smart, and had a superior eye and knowledge. Only then did Princess Taiping realize something was wrong. She used power and skills in the palace to win over the court officials. Most of the court officials joined her party and had an advantage in this power and skills struggle.

Although Li Longji was at the bottom, he was the crown prince and the legitimate heir to the throne. If he had a personal assessment, Chen Zairong would probably be chosen and would become the person around the crown prince and be with him. Once Li Longji ascended the throne, Chen Zairong would have an unlimited future, and his future would be even greater than his current military service.

Chen Que has been in the officialdom for a long time and is well aware of the way of flattery in the officialdom. When will he not make a good relationship with Chen Zairong when he is now? Chen Wanrong is very disgusting to the villain who is anxious to flatter and looks down on him.

Li Longji ascended the throne was inevitable. He had the resources of the emperor. In the early stage, he worked hard to govern the army, practiced martial arts, and eliminated the accumulated problems, creating a great era of great governance. "The enemy did not dare to take the moon to attack the border, and the scholars did not dare to bend their bows to repay their grievances." The "Kaiyuan Prosperity" famous throughout the ages. His strength exceeded the "Zhenguan Reign" by Emperor Taizong of Tang, and was ranked alongside the "Hanwu Prosperity" created by Emperor Wu of Han, and pushed Chinese history to a prosperous situation. Even after a thousand years, we are still happy to talk about it.

If there was no "Anshi Rebellion", Chinese history would be even more brilliant, and this was Li Longji's achievements. If Chen Zairong really wanted to choose Chen Longji, it would not be a huge problem, but would be more likely to be famous throughout the ages.

This is very beneficial to Chen Zairong. Although Chen Wanrong is not enthusiastic about power and is also excited, he is happy for Chen Zairong.

This is a major event in the county hall, no wonder Huang Boming and others led the students to congratulate. There are not many things to be able to get the prince's assessment. This is the matter of glorifying the ancestors, and the students admire them all.

"No matter how Rong, if you didn't have Mr. Huang and Mr. Qi's teachings, you wouldn't have this opportunity. Give me a cup of tea to Mr. Huang and Mr. Qi!" Chen Wanrong hurriedly reminded.

This is what it should be. Chen Zairong picked up a cup of tea and came to Huang Boming. According to the etiquette of the student giving tea to his husband, he knelt on the ground and held the tea in front of his forehead with both hands: "Student Chen Zairong thanked Mr. Huang for his kindness in his teachings."

Huang Boming sincerely appreciates Chen Zairong and sincerely hopes that he has a good future. He is both happy and a little unbearable. He took the teacup, put it on the table, helped Chen Zairong up with both hands, and encouraged him: "Chen Zairong, this opportunity is rare. In nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he needs both literary talent and martial arts skills, but the first time. You have to cherish this opportunity, and I believe you will succeed as a teacher!"

Whether it succeeds or not, this opportunity alone is enough to make people proud for the rest of their lives. If it were a "Fan Jin", they might have been so happy long ago, but Chen Zairong's performance was very calm, as if it was a natural thing, and he was not happy at all: "Mr. Xie Huang! Students remember it!"

Huang Boming praised Chen Zairong's performance of not being arrogant or not being arrogant from the bottom of his heart, and he nodded from the bottom of his head. Chen Jianzhong and Qi Xianming also praised them. Young people are mostly arrogant and have few people who can be as proud as Chen Zairong.

Chen Wanrong didn't look like this, and his eyebrows slightly raised, thinking that there was a big problem here, so he had to find an opportunity to interrogate.

Chen Zairong gave Qi Xianming a cup of tea, and the matter came to an end. The two brothers accompanied everyone to have tea and chat.

While eating tea, Chen Que said, "Brother Wanrong, you are really not kind enough."

Chen Wanrong had no good feelings for him, and in this case he had to respond, otherwise it would be too bad for him to sing a one-man show, and he smiled and said, "I'll ask for advice from my elders."

Chen Que continued: "This county is the lord of Ning County, and you should know a lot about the matters of this county. Brother Wanrong, you are very happy to open the opening, and you don't tell me if you are kind?"

The big families followed him and immediately agreed, "Brother Wanrong is really unkind. He won't tell us about such a big thing. If you are afraid that we will eat too much wine, you can prepare it yourself."

"Sir, I have a lot of words." Chen Wanrong is very good at excuses and flatters Chen Que: "Sir, I have a lot of trouble every day, how dare I use this little thing to worry about you, sir."

"A small matter?" Chen Qie stared at Chen Wanrong and asked, "Brother Wanrong, do you know how big it is for you to make soap?"

Isn't it just a small workshop? Chen Wanrong doesn't believe it, but he said, "I don't know what the hell is doing. The grass-roots have set off some firecrackers, and the movement is bigger than usual."

This sentence cleverly avoided Shenqie's criticism, and Chenqi smiled: "Brother Wanrong, you are really good at speaking. Let me tell you a message. I heard of this news, and it may not be accurate. Just listen to it, you don't have to take it to your heart, and there is no need to say it out."

This is a ban order, what is the need to be issued? Chen Wanrong has to believe that what he said must be very big. Everyone here is Lingli, and said together: "Affect the Lord's orders."

Chen Que then lowered his voice and said, "The news from Chang'an said that the emperor had used soap and praised the soap for its usefulness."

Empress Wu Zetian, Li Xin, during her administration, fought against the east and west, and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. However, she made the palace a little messed up. Her role model made many women crazy, and she wanted to imitate her as the queen, Empress Wei, Princess Anle, and Princess Taiping were all influenced by her.

After Wu Zetian, the situation in the palace was extremely complicated and there were many ears and eyes. Even if Ruizong had intimate with his concubine several times at night, maybe everyone outside knew about it, let alone his praise for soap, it was very easy to spread it.

Chen Wanrong suddenly realized that he clearly wanted to please Chen Wanrong, but he also had to issue a ban order. This serious thought was a good idea. Chen Zairong was about to see the prince. Although his future was not sure, he was full of hope. Besides, Ruizong Jinkou Praises the use of soap, what does this mean? It means that Chen Wanrong's future is unlimited and the Chen family is invincible!

The superiors have something to like, and the subordinates have something to work for. What the emperor appreciates, civil and military officials dare not buy soap? It is difficult for civil and military officials to guarantee that there are no one or two people who can be related to Chen Wanrong. Once Chen Wanrong has a relationship with them, the backstage will be hard. Not to mention, the emperor praises it, if Ruizong has a whim, he wants to give Chen Wanrong some favors, and this will make a bright future.

If Chen Que didn't take this opportunity to flatter Chen Wanrong, how long could he wait?

Chen Wanrong looked at Ma Zhizhong, and Ma Zhizhong nodded slightly. Looking at the high-definition Thai again, no wonder the two suggested that Chen Wanrong set the price of soap at 15 jin. It turned out that they had heard the rumors in the palace long ago. Although they had a good relationship with Chen Wanrong, they were merchants and not officials after all, so they were a little scruple and could not say this to Chen Wanrong openly.

Those big families who came with Chen Que were originally unwilling to do so, but they had to come due to Chen Que's official power. Unexpectedly, there was such a thing. If I didn't come, I might have committed anything in the future. I was very grateful for Chen Que's "favor" kindness. I stood up, congratulated Chen Wanrong and said some nice words.

All these words have been said, but now I am talking again, it is no longer an old monk chanting scriptures, but a little more sincere.

Good things are always good things. Even if Ruizong doesn’t appreciate them, soap is still good things. However, the scene still needs to be said. Chen Wanrong looked at the sky and clasped his fists: "The emperor is so kind, and the people are grateful!"

There was just one thing that Chen Wanrong couldn't understand. He sold soap in Chang'an that day and had never dealt with the palace people. How did Ruizong use soap? Then he thought, soap became a strange thing in the hands of the scapegoat. Maybe someone who flattered Ruizong bought a piece and offered it to him.

After Wu Zetian reigned on the Tang Dynasty, the court situation was turbulent and the palace struggled continuously, and the emperor's prestige was greatly weakened. If he was in the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Chen Que would not dare to say such words even if he wanted to flatter Chen Wanrong.

Chen Que smiled and said, "Brother Wanrong, you are making soap in this county and don't give me a word. How should you punish me for this?"

This is a joke, and I can't take it seriously. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Let the Lord give me the order."

"Then I will punish you three big cups." Chen Que finished his joke and said: "In order to congratulate Brother Wanrong, I discussed with several major households in Ning County and invited hundreds of operas to come and liven up. The emperor praised Jinkou, which is the glory of the county. If it is not like this, it is not enough to show the power of the Tang Dynasty and the mighty emperor's grace."

With this kind of height mentioned in one sentence, Chen Wanrong blocked all the words Chen Wanrong refused. Chen Wanrong had to accept it and bowed in a row: "Thank you all for your kindness, thank you!"

Chen Que then said: "Brother Chen Nian went to Beijing this time, with his talent and martial arts, he would definitely be favored by the prince and had a bright future. The county is the lord of a county, so he had to congratulate him. Brother Wanrong opened a happy opening, and Brother Chen Nian went to Beijing for two happy two happy. Brother Wanrong received the emperor's grace and three happy three happy. When the three happy ones are at home, he must make a good fortune."

Originally, he made a fuss, but unexpectedly he became the three-game gate. Chen Wanrong couldn't be happy and smiled and said, "It must be, it must!"

A sound of music and singing came, pleasantly listening, and Chenqi laughed and said, "Here, come!" He stood up and said, "Everyone, let's go and watch a hundred operas to make fun of it."

Chen Wanrong held his fists and invited everyone, and everyone stood up and followed them out. Dozens of people entered the yard with blows and beats. The gongs and drums were loud and the swords were swallowing and fired. The excitement was more than ten times greater than the firecrackers.

There were many entertainment activities in the Tang Dynasty, including singing and dancing, acrobatics, cockfighting and dogfighting, and illusions. The hundreds of operas are not collectively called, but an entertainment program, which belongs to the music of the scattered music, not the voice of the gang, and the singing and dancing of the actors, which are widely loved by the people. It can be said to be an entertainment program that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses.

The honest farmers who hired workers have never had the opportunity to watch a hundred operas in their lives, so they naturally would not miss such opportunities. They gathered in a circle and watched them very well, and cheered in unison when they saw them happy.

Chen Laoshi and his wife were the happiest. They never expected that the county master came to congratulate him in person, and invited hundreds of operas to cheer him up. It would be impossible to make the two elders unhappy. Although they did not have the exquisite thoughts of Chen Dai, they did not expect that Chen Zairong's trip to Chang'an this time meant a bright future. It was also a matter of glorious ancestors to be able to go to the Imperial College for a trip. Chen Laoshi couldn't help but touch his face, which was hot. Chen Wang smiled so much that his eyes were gone, and he suddenly became twenty years younger.

There were so many people coming at once, without any preparation. Eating was really a problem. Fortunately, Shen Que was considerate and had already booked several big hotels in Ning County. He asked them to deliver them to the Zheng family's old house. This saved Chen Wanrong a lot of trouble.

There were hundreds of plays to cheer up, and the banquet was extremely cheerful, so there was no need to say anything. After the meal, several big families said goodbye and left. Ma Gao and his two men had already achieved their goal, so they rushed back to Chang'an and left. Huang Boming and Qi Xianming stayed, and other students and gentlemen from the county hall returned to the county hall.

Chen Que and Huang Boming exchanged glances and said, "Brother Wanrong, you have enough wine and food. You should have said goodbye, but there is one thing that I have to say. Please don't think I'm abrupt."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Sir, please say something. If you can do it, the grass people will do their best."

"Brother Chen Nian's visit to Beijing this time is extraordinary. It is not only the pride of our Ning County, but also the honor of the county's museum. The meaning of this county is that Brother Chen Nian cannot be deserted here. There must be a ceremony, which is also the meaning of the county's museum." Chen Que smiled and cleared: "After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it was the first time to recruit such good children. In this county, there are talents like Chen Nian to take the exam. How difficult is this. Mr. Huang, Mr. Qi and others worked hard to hone Brother Chen Nian into a talent, so they had to give them an explanation, right?"
