Chapter 818: Destroying Huang Ji
As they spoke, the carriage stopped outside the Education Bureau.
Luo Qiong’s eyes lit up, and his tense face was instantly filled with smiles. He quickly went up to them and did not let Uncle Ding do anything. He took the initiative to put the small stool on the ground and bent his body. When he saw them get out of the car, he fawned over them.” Lord Zhang, Young Master Ding!”
Ding Yi glanced at him in annoyance. He took out a silver ingot worth five taels from his Sumeru Pouch and threw it over.” Are Brother Chen and the others here?” he asked.
“Thank you for your reward, Young Master Ding!” Luo Qiong excitedly kept the silver into his pocket.
“Lord Chen, Lord Lu, Lord Xu, Lord Zheng, and Young Master Pei have all arrived. I wanted to welcome them at the door, but it’s not good to be in and out of here, so I waited upstairs.”
“Yes.” Ding Yi nodded.
They entered the lobby.
Xiao Yue’s mother was greeting the guests. Her beautiful eyes lit up. She threw down a sentence and quickly walked over. Her posture was very low.” Lord Zhang, Young Master Ding, you’re here!”
“Lead the way,” Zhang Ronghua instructed.
“This way please!”
He led the way to the third floor.
After a while.
They stopped outside a room. Two maids at the door bowed respectfully.” Greetings, sirs!”
Xiao Yue’s mother opened the door and made an inviting gesture. She waited for Zhang Ronghua to enter before following him and closing the door.
In the hall.
They were sitting around a table with melon seeds, tangerines, bananas, and peanuts. They were listening to music. Six young women were dancing barefooted. Seeing them, they hurriedly stood up.”Qinglin (Cousin, Brother Hua)!”
Zhang Ronghua smiled and nodded in response. After greeting them, everyone sat down again.
“Shall we serve the dishes now?” asked Xiao Yue’s mother.
“Go!”
Knowing that they had something to say, he left with the girls. The smell of perfume lingered in the room.
Pei Haoran took the teacup and poured tea for them one by one.
“Did you catch him?” asked Chen Youcai.
Zhang Ronghua shook his head.” He has already escaped. I’ve already given the order to have the provincial capitals below pay attention.”
“Guess who did it?”
“Difficult!”
Chen Youcai understood. There were so many enemies in the open and in the dark. Everyone was suspicious. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to find them. He held his teacup. Lu Zhantang and the others also raised their teacups.” The wine hasn’t been served yet. Let’s replace the wine with tea to celebrate your promotion!”
“Cheers!” Zhang Ronghua clinked his teacup with theirs.
He drank the tea in one gulp.
He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them.
Chen Youcai joked.” You’re getting promoted too quickly. It hasn’t been long, and you’re already catching up to me. After a while, we’ll meet again. We’ll be on the same level.”
“Order whatever you want, don’t stand on ceremony!”
“Bright!”
“Can I come in?” Xiao Yue’s mother’s voice came through the door.
“Come in,” said Zhang Ronghua.
The door was pushed open.
Xiao Yue’s mother came in with four maids. She removed the melon seeds and other dishes from the table and placed them on the table one by one. They were all signature dishes cooked with fiendish demon meat. They looked, smelled, and tasted good. They were pleasing to the eyes and appetizing. They were also First Grade Drunk.
When the door closed.
Zhang Ronghua and Ding Yi stood up with wine glasses in their hands.
The two of them drank three glasses in a row.
Xu Xing joked.” You’re looking for an excuse. You want to drink a few more cups. This is First Grade Drunk. No way!” I can’t let you guys be the only ones who are beautiful.”
Everyone present was smart.
If it was in the past, it wouldn’t matter.
Today was different from the past. Zhang Ronghua was the Imperial Censor of the Right Department of the Imperial Censorate. From a third-grade official, he had risen without a doubt. He had vaguely become the leader of this small circle. Even if he had just joined, he had to admire him. Other than the fact that his ” cultivation ” was a little weak, he was only at Zongshi realm tier 7. No matter what, he could not find any flaws. His ability was too strong!
Just as Chen Youcai had said earlier, the next time they met, it would be the third grade. Just now, his official position was the same as his.
Everyone followed suit and drank three glasses.
Chen Youcai took out a deed from his sleeve and handed it over. Lu Zhantang took out a stack of silver notes from his Sumeru Bag. The former said,” All the procedures have been completed. You can move in when Chang Qing finishes renovating. Don’t forget to treat us then.”
“Are you waiting for me here on purpose?” Zhang Ronghua teased.
” Other than Chang Qing, you’re the only rich one. If I didn’t rip you off a few times, would you be able to sit here drinking spirit wine, eating demon meat, and listening to music?”
The others laughed.
Zhang Ronghua put on a look of ” admitting defeat ” and kept the deed. He handed the banknote to Ding Yi and explained,” Chang Qing will pay for it himself. I’ll pay for it first. Give me the spirit herbs you bought in the morning.”
Everyone sighed in their hearts. Ding Yi knew how to conduct himself.
The official business was over.
He asked Xiao Yue’s mother to arrange for the girls to come over, drink and listen to music.
Two hours later.
After the banquet ended, Ding Yi was the first to stand up. He called the two ladies to the room next door to cultivate. Zheng Fugui and the others bid farewell, leaving only Xu Xing behind.
There was a pot of tea and six portions of spirit fruits on the table.
” How far have you progressed?” Zhang Ronghua asked casually as he peeled a banana and ate it.
Xu Xing smiled bitterly and fiercely took a bite of the apple.” Every time we meet, we have to be sneaky, afraid that others will find out and spread the news to the Palace.”
“How can it be so easy to marry a princess? Unless you marry the princess!”
The rules were strict. To put it simply, they had to hand in a memorial in advance and arrange the time. The time was set according to the princess ‘mood.
Xu Xing naturally would not do this. He wanted to marry the princess!
