Chapter 70 A Treat

Zhao Yin passed away from high school. Zhao Kuang was happy but also regretful. It would have been great if this was his son.

He took the initiative to run to the small courtyard, "Brother Yin is Jieyuan. For such a happy event, we must set up several tables to celebrate."

Zhao Yin is not Zhang Yang The person declined politely and said: "Thank you uncle for your kindness. I just got the title of Jieyuan and haven't entered the official position yet. It's too early to celebrate."

"Brother Yin, do you know the candidates who are taking the exam this year? There are more than 2,000 people, and only 135 people have been admitted. It is already rare for you to be able to get through high school." Zhao Kuang tried his best to persuade, "This is the glory of our Zhao family, and we must celebrate it."

Zhao Kuang insisted on celebrating, but the Zhao family and his son could not refuse. Zhao Cui smiled and said: "Then let's set up a few tables in the Number One Scholar Building to celebrate."

After hearing this, Zhao Cui said with a smile The smile on Kuang's face faded a bit. He wanted Zhao Yin to serve wine in the mansion, with him as the main one, and Zhao Cheng's family was dependent on him.

When serving wine in Zhuangyuan Building, it means that Zhao Cheng’s family is the host and they are just guests.

"Seventh Aunt, Brother Yin has become the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. It's time to have wine to celebrate, but would it be too much fanfare to have wine in the Zhuangyuan Building?" Zhao Kuang tried to dissuade Zhao Cui.

Mrs. Zhao Cui smiled softly and said: "The Zhao family has a Jieyuan. This is the glory of the Zhao family. Setting up wine in the Zhuangyuan Building is just a good thing. Brother Yin will be able to go to high school in the future. The number one scholar, that is the real lintel of light."

After hearing what Zhao Cui said, Zhao Kuang felt unhappy, but he couldn't say anything else.

Back at the mansion, he told Mrs. Zhao about this. Mrs. Zhao sneered and said: "Cui Yujun has always been shrewd. It's strange that she would listen to your blatant calculations."

Zhao Kuang was silent for a moment, "Why didn't the mother object when she brought Zhao Cheng's daughter over to educate her?"

"That was a major matter in the clan. If Cui Yujun objected, Zhao Chengyi Can Mai still gain a foothold in the clan? You are celebrating Brother Yin, but that is only for you, so why should she agree?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked.

Zhao Kuang said: "What mother said is true."

"Cui Yujun is not willing to annex the mansion. I want to see how far her children and grandchildren can go." Zhao Kuang The old lady said angrily.

"Mother, if there is any change next spring, Zhao Cheng and his son will always be just raising sons." Zhao Kuang said gloomily.

"You are desperate!" Old Mrs. Zhao slammed the kang table, "Zhao Yin is already Jieyuan. There must be officials in the court who have noticed him. If you dare to do anything, that is Looking for death."

"Are we just going to let them escape control?" Zhao Kuang asked unwillingly.

"It is indeed beyond my expectation that they could reach this point, but even if Zhao Cheng and his son entered the court as officials, their time would be too short to be fearful and they would not be able to make any waves. ." Old Mrs. Zhao said coldly.

"But if they gain power in the future, they may pose a threat to us." Zhao Kuang was still unwilling.

"Don't worry, I won't let them go. I will let them know that the leadership of this family is still in our hands. As for Zhao Cheng and his son, I will send people to monitor them secretly. Once If they do anything inappropriate, I will deal with their family. Remember, no matter what, they are still members of our family." Mrs. Zhao said calmly.

"I know, mother." Zhao Kuang responded with his head bowed.

"Okay, go and discuss with your wife and prepare a generous gift. I want to see who they can invite to the banquet without our mansion." Mrs. Zhao Said sarcastically.

“Yes, mother.” Zhao Kuang saluted respectfully and exited the room.

The next day, Zhao Kuang received an invitation from Zhao Cui’s order. When he saw that it said there would be a banquet on the tenth day of September, he was shocked, “It’s not about the banquet at Zhuangyuan Tower. Is it difficult to decide?"

"Money can make the world go round." Mrs. Zhao was not surprised.

Zhao Kuang frowned, "The Zhao Cheng family is so rich?"

"Cui Yujun is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, and Li Xiaoya is the legitimate daughter of the Li family. Although they are both side branches, but They all came in with ten miles of red dowry." Old Mrs. Zhao said.

"Mother, you should have told me this earlier." Zhao Kuang said with a hint of complaint.

"It's not too late to know now." Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at him lightly, "The Zhao Cheng family has been hiding in the village for so many years, keeping a low profile because they don't want anyone to take advantage of her family's money. Ideas, stop thinking about those things, Cui Yujun is not an easy person."

"Mother, not to mention that I need to take care of everything as an official, but my sister also needs to take care of things in the palace. There is no money. It's hard to move even an inch." Zhao Kuang knew how to impress her.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she did not respond immediately. After a long time, she slowly said: "You can do whatever you want, but remember, we are of the same race after all, so don't go too far. , don’t let others take advantage of you.”

“Don’t worry, mother, your son knows what to do.” Zhao Kuang withdrew.

In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of September, and Zhao Wangshu went to the Zhuangyuan Building with his family.

At that time, guests came one after another with invitations.

Zhao Wangshu is a girl who has not yet left the court. She did not come out to entertain guests. She sat in the elegant room drinking tea and acted like Zhao Wangshu.When Yin brought Xiao Bin in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. How could these two people know each other?

"Sister, this is my friend Xiao."

"Miss Zhao, we meet again." Xiao Bin smiled before he could finish the introduction.

“Do you know each other?” Zhao Yin asked in surprise.

“We met during the Guanlian Festival.” Zhao Wangshu knelt down, “Master Xiao is the leader of the Guanlian Festival Poetry Club.”

“With Nanjian’s talent and learning, It is inevitable to be the leader." Zhao Yin smiled.

"I dare not call myself talented in front of you." Xiao Bin said with a smile.

This time in Qiuwei, he ranked fifth.

"Too modest." Zhao Yin smiled.

At this time, another guest came, and Zhao Yin said: "Yue'er, talk to Nanjian."

After that, he went out. Being accompanied by a maid does not count as being alone, and it cannot damage the reputation of my sister.

If Zhao Wangshu still doesn’t know what her brother means at this time, then she is a fool, but no matter how talented Xiao Bin is, he is not her cup of tea. She prefers Yun Hao’s appearance.

"Master Xiao, please sit down." Zhao Wangshu couldn't tell him to leave, so he had to greet him with a polite smile.

Xiao Bin sat down opposite her, took a sip of tea from the cup, "Good tea."

"It's Longjing before the rain." Zhao Wangshu took a sip and said, "No. I thought that Mr. Xiao and my elder brother are friends."

"Brother Ling and I met at last year's poetry meeting, and we hit it off right away." Xiao Bin said with a smile.

"That's really fate." Zhao Wangshu nodded, "My brother is a nerd. It's really rare to have a good friend like you."

"Zhao Brother Ling should be sad to hear what the girl said." Xiao Bin smiled, "Chang Ming has learned a lot. He has unique insights into poetry. Every time I listen to what he says, it makes me enlightened."

"Master Xiao is really good at complimenting people."

Xiao Bin said seriously: "I'm telling the truth, I never compliment people."

The two of them spoke in general terms. Talk and the atmosphere is harmonious.
