Five days later was the day of Zhao Changli's full moon celebration, and guests who came to Yanchuan City to offer their congratulations had been arriving one after another.

Although Zhao Cheng persuaded Li Lu, Deng Fugui, Cai Qiong, and the people from the three prefectures to return home, there were still quite a few guests from Jingdong Prefecture alone. Some were old acquaintances of Zhao Huan, but most were merchants from Jingdong whom Zhao Cheng had made friends with in recent years.

No matter how low-key Zhao Huan and his son tried to be, since they had already held a grand banquet, the Right Prime Minister's residence was still quite lively compared to Yanchuan City, like a grand event.

Fortunately, although the Right Prime Minister's residence was simply decorated, it was spacious enough to accommodate over a hundred tables in the courtyard.

As soon as Zhou Nuo entered the room, Zhao Cheng, though not concerned with these rules, still followed tradition and rarely met with her, so he stayed overnight in the studio for the past few days.

Although Zhao Cheng's legs were a little weak, Chen Feier was the one who worked the hardest, taking on the work of four people in a crisis.

Zhao Cheng also cared about her a lot, and brought back all the paintings by Tu Wanhu that he had plundered from the Tu family. It wasn't that these paintings were worth a lot of money, but mainly that Chen Feier could observe and learn from them and find inspiration.

Zhao Cheng is a pragmatic person. Although he and Tu Wanhu are mortal enemies, he still recognizes Tu Wanhu's painting skills.

For Chen Feier, these gifts were far more valuable than gold and silver jewelry, so she worked even harder.

Zhao Cheng, standing under the East Gate, felt his legs trembling violently, as if he were about to fly away.

Zhao Wu couldn't stand it any longer and suggested, "Master, why don't you go back and rest? You and Xiao Luomu are so familiar with each other, I can just stay here and greet him."

Zhao Cheng said, "He has just become the head of the family, and I must help him maintain his prestige."

Zhao Wu said, "But your legs are shaking like this, people who don't know better might think you've had a stroke, it doesn't look good!"

Zhao Cheng bent over, grabbed his calves, and said, "Let me control myself."

Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "Master, you should be more restrained in the future. You can't treat this as a meal ticket."

"Do you think I want to? Fei'er has suffered so much, shouldn't I spend more time with her?" Zhao Cheng said against his conscience.

Zhao Wu sighed, "Alas... some are dying of drought, while others are dying of floods."

A short while later, a caravan approached from the distance.

As they approached, Zhao Cheng saw dozens of large boxes being dragged in the middle of the caravan, led by three tall, powerful horses.

It was clearly Xiao Luomu, Xiao Luoyan, and Huang Zhen.

Zhao Cheng pinched his leg hard, then smiled and went to greet him, saying, "Patriarch Xiao! Lord Huang!"

Xiao Luomu and the other two immediately dismounted.

"Young Prime Minister!"

Zhao Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Lord Huang, I am deeply grateful for your presence!"

Xiao Luomu leaned closer to Zhao Cheng and said, "Lord Huang has chosen a time difference. If we had waited another half month until he took office, he probably wouldn't have been able to come."

"Oh?" Zhao Cheng asked doubtfully, "Lord Huang is being transferred?"

Xiao Luomu said, "It's not a transfer, it's a promotion in the same place. Prefect Qi resigned from his post and recommended Lord Huang to succeed him as Prefect of Jingdong, and the court approved it."

Zhao Cheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Lord Huang, this is a great leap forward, congratulations!"

Huang Zhen grasped Zhao Cheng's hand and said, "This is all thanks to the young prime minister. If it weren't for the rapid economic development of Jingdong County, and if Huang Hua hadn't reformed, I would have resigned along with Elder Qi!"

Zhao Cheng said solemnly, "Lord Huang is in the prime of his life. Now that you hold a high position, you must shine even brighter and more, and you must not let your spirits wane!"

Huang Zhen clasped his hands and said, "Young Prime Minister's words have been a wake-up call for me. I will remember them! May I ask, Young Prime Minister, Huang Hua, he..."

Zhao Cheng said, "If nothing goes wrong, the industrial park still has six months of construction time. I'll make arrangements for him to come back for the New Year."

"That's wonderful!" Huang Zhen exclaimed with delight.

Xiao Luomu patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder, turned around and stood in a row with him, and laughed, "Look who else has come?"

Zhao Cheng followed Xiao Luomu's gaze and saw a richly dressed young man climb out of the carriage and swagger over.

Zhao Cheng immediately smiled.

After nearly a year apart, this young master not only dressed better and looked more stylish, but also seemed much more confident than before.

He is exactly like Li Guanyu!

"Mr. Li, my apologies!" Zhao Cheng stepped forward to greet him.

"Hmm..." Li Guanyu waved his folding fan and said proudly, "Ah Cheng, I haven't been back to Yanchuan for a long time. Take me for a walk!"

"Hey! You actually served it!" Zhao Cheng slapped Li Guanyu on the back of the head.

Li Guanyu quickly dodged, then disregarded all decorum and ran behind Xiao Luomu, shouting, "That was so much fun! Calling you A-Cheng is much more fun than calling you Little Prime Minister! Awesome!"

Xiao Luomu winked at Zhao Cheng, then immediately darted behind Li Guanyu, grabbed his hand, and shouted, "This kid's gotten out of hand! Beat him!"

Zhao Cheng rushed over and grabbed his groin!

"ah!!!"

Huang Zhen wisely turned his face away.

Li Guanyu was in so much pain that tears were almost streaming down his face. He cried out, "Young Marquis, help me! Where is Xu An? Why isn't he coming out to greet me?!"

"He's busy, he doesn't have time for you," Zhao Cheng replied. He and Xiao Luomu both knew why Xu An hadn't come.

News has arrived from the Ministry of Revenue in Xidu: the court has approved the Eastern Chamber of Commerce's plan. The Ministry of Revenue will be responsible for the penicillin supply in the court's area, and officials from the Ministry will be sent to Yanchuan soon. Xu An is busy with some preliminary work.

Zhao Cheng pulled Li Guanyu toward the city and said, "Come, come, let me show you around, Mr. Li!"

The area in front of the Right Prime Minister's residence was bustling with activity, with a constant flow of carriages and people.

The old generals from Changsui have arrived.

The three brothers, Zhao Cheng, Zhao Yan, and Zhao Zhan, usually come out to greet guests from the Right Prime Minister's residence. When they are too busy, Park Yoo-hee will also come to help out.
