Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...
Zhao Jun had no time to care about what the Cheng family was thinking.
She came purely to watch the fun.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Cheng family compound, they were attracted by the lively scene.
“There are so many people.”
It’s no wonder that Liu Bang was shocked. There were indeed too many people at Cheng’s door.
There were many brightly colored fabrics hanging in front of the magnificent gate, and there were even flower pots placed next to it.
There were many carriages and pedestrians coming and going, including many merchants from other places.
The servants at the door were also busy welcoming people around.
"See, this is the influence of the Cheng family in Shu County."
Lu Jing couldn't help but admire.
Zhao Jun was also very happy. Apart from anything else, the excitement was just fun to watch.
Several people stood at the intersection and walked slowly towards that direction.
They were close, but there were still many carriages parked on the surrounding streets, all of them on their way.
Just as Lu Jing and his men were approaching, a man got off the carriage that had just stopped nearby.
A middle-aged man in official uniform got off the car and saw Lu Jing next to him.
"Master Lu, you are here too."
The middle-aged man came over and greeted me with a smile.
When he saw Zhao Jun standing next to him, he saluted with extra respect.
"Greetings, Lord Zhao. I am Zheng Zhonghui, the Supervisory Censor of Shu County. I happened to be out of the prefecture some time ago and was unable to visit you in time. I hope Your Excellency will forgive me."
Zhao Jun responded with a smile, saying that she had heard about the Censor's business trip.
Now, when I meet him for the first time, I can tell that he must be a seasoned man who speaks well.
"Master Zheng has just returned, right? I haven't heard any news before. Master, you are here for the banquet too, right?"
Lu Jing smiled and greeted the other party and asked.
"Yes, yes. I received an invitation to Cheng's family right after I got back. It would be bad if I didn't come."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Zhao Jun and Xiao He next to them started chatting.
"Just got back. I had to come. Listen to this."
The two of them whispered to each other.
"Maybe he received the news and rushed back just to attend this banquet."
Xiao He pondered.
The two looked at each other and stopped talking.
This further reveals that starting a family can even have an impact on officials in Shu County.
Maybe what Lu Jing heard before was true.
"Sir Zhao, I will go in first and visit you again another day."
Zheng Zhonghui bowed and was soon led into the mansion by the Cheng family.
Lu Jing and Zhao Jun did not waste any time and quickly arrived at the gate of the mansion.
As soon as the Cheng family butler at the door saw Lu Jing, he hurriedly came forward to greet him warmly, and was also very polite and courteous to Zhao Jun and others.
It didn't take long for them to be led into the backyard by the servants and properly seated.
Until now, Zhao Jun didn't feel that he was being targeted. Could it be that he was wrong?
Cheng's backyard is very large, and there are many seats, many of which are already occupied.
There were even a few ladies sitting among them.
It seems that Chengjia is not arranged with separate tables for men and women, which is a good thing.
There was a large space in the middle of the yard with tables and chairs placed there. I heard that it was arranged for the men selected today.
After they sat down, a maid brought them cakes. Overall, the service was very good.
It seems that for Chengjia to have achieved such a success, there must be many capable people in the family. At least the person who planned this banquet is quite capable.
As the few of them sat down, people kept coming in, and soon Zheng Zhonghui sat opposite them.
Suddenly, just as they were chatting, a few people walked out from the backyard.
As soon as they came out, they caused a commotion.
Everyone looked up and saw that the four siblings of the Cheng family of this generation came out.
Apart from Cheng Xin who had already appeared, this was the first time Zhao Jun met other members of the Cheng family.
The eldest sister walking in front stood up and spoke.
"Thank you all very much for coming to witness my marriage and choosing a son-in-law. Everyone present today is my family's friend, so I will not be shy with you. Please forgive me if I am not welcoming enough."
"Please take your seats, the final selection for today will begin soon."
Cheng Jing bowed and spoke very proudly.
The brother and sister who followed her in didn't say anything but just sat down at the table.
The two sisters Cheng Yu and Cheng Xin looked at each other privately, glanced at Lu Jing and Zhao Jun who were sitting on the side, and quickly sat down.
But this seat was right above and to the left of Zhao Jun.
Cheng Yu sat in a seat right next to Zhao Jun, and he could talk to her just by tilting his head.
Zhao Jun glanced at the second young lady whom he had never met before. She seemed to be quite calm.
Not long after Cheng Jing finished speaking, a maid came up with several young men.
Zhao Jun didn't want to care about the two sisters next to him for the time being, and his attention was immediately focused on the men who were selected.
Choosing a husband publicly, or choosing from many people together, and finally marrying into the family, just thinking about it is exciting.
She turned her head and took a closer look at the men coming up.
Their appearance and figure must have been selected. They all have pretty looks and their heights are not much different.
She scanned everyone's face very carefully and roughly understood the young lady's aesthetic taste.
He had been paying attention to her since she came in, and now he felt quite unhappy when he saw her staring at her future brothers-in-law without blinking.
"Second sister, look at her, she has no shame."
Chengxin said angrily.
Little did she know that she had carefully looked at these men before. All the men and women present were looking at them.
"Okay, don't talk for now. Let's talk to Big Sister alone after she finishes her business. Do you want to ruin Big Sister's banquet?"
