Five years ago, Wang Ping'an and Li Xian opened a newspaper here. At the same time, as a bridgehead for the development of Nanzhao, Linyuan County was upgraded to Xiazhou. Two years ago, the development of Nanzhao showed initial results, and Linyuan County was upgraded to Zhongzhou.

This time, Wang Zheng came with an imperial edict to promote Linyuan County to a superior state.

Gao Zairen, who had just been promoted to the governor of Shangzhou, was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He even spoke without thinking after receiving the imperial edict from Wang Zheng.

"Thank you, Chief Steward, for promoting me. I will do my best to serve you until my death. If you have any questions, please tell me and I will do my best."

Wang Ping'an frowned when he heard this. There are so many people here, and you are expressing your loyalty to me so directly. Is this really okay?

Wang Zheng didn't take it seriously and smiled at the short and fat Gao Zairen, "Mr. Gao has been in Linyuan for many years and has always been diligent. Mr. Gao has made great contributions to Linyuan's present situation. He is just a governor of a higher state, so there is no need to feel too sentimental.

This is what you deserve. In the future, you should work hard for the Tang Dynasty and the people, and you can go further. After all, you are only in your forties. As for words of thanks, there is no need to say more.

Chen Mingcha's father was a short and strong middle-aged man. Seeing Wang Zheng being so polite, he immediately smiled. After clasping his fists to Wang Zheng, he pulled his two sons over and shouted, "Why don't you call someone?"

Xiao Yuehua smacked her lips and said, "Daddy said that's called temperament. Not only do you need to read more, but you also need to have life experience to become that kind of good-looking. So, sister-in-law needs to read more in the future."

After all, the tea from Nanzhao is still very good, and I have to say it’s a bit of fate.

Luo Xiaomei looked at Chen Mingcha for a while, then smiled and said, "What a pretty girl. She's really pretty."

"Yuehua knows a lot." Chen Mingcha praised her first, then said a little embarrassedly: "I may not be able to become that pretty. I have been studying with Ping'an for the past few years and I can only recognize all the characters."

The coarse black clothes made her look even whiter. She was a little shorter than Wang Ping'an, but women were almost sixteen, while men were slowly turning eighteen, so it was natural that there would be a height difference between them.

At this time, two middle-aged couples came over with two young people. Wang Pingan introduced them: "These are Mingcha's parents and two brothers."

"Chen Shan, Chen Shui, meet Uncle Yin and Aunt Yin."

Of course, Chen Mingcha was still very curious about Wang Zheng. After all, he was the most respected person in the world, a god-like existence.

"Chen Lie has met you, brother."

Although it was the first time they met, they did not feel too much of a stranger to each other. Wang Ping'an had already introduced Chen Mingcha very clearly in his letter. As for Chen Mingcha, he had naturally heard a lot about Wang Ping'an's family.

Wang Zheng greeted first: "Wang Zheng meets brother and sister-in-law."

"Mingcha meets uncle and aunt, hello Yuehua!"

Xiao Yuehua waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, just learn slowly. My mother also learned to read slowly after marrying Dad. When she was your age, she couldn't read."

"The steward is right." After thanking Wang Zheng first, Gao Zairen said with gratitude, "I will submit a memorial to His Majesty shortly."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded without saying anything more. Luo Xiaomei took off a jade hairpin from her head and put it in Chen Mingcha's bun, saying with a smile, "Although my family doesn't care about clothing, as a woman, you still need some simple head jewelry.

I am safe here thanks to your care. If you really want to thank me, please submit a memorial to thank His Majesty. Well, you can also have a couple of extra drinks later to thank yourself. After all, all this is earned by your own hard work."

"Mingcha, this is my father, this is my mother, and this is Yuehua."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, then looked at Wang Ping'an. The serious business had been discussed, and now they could talk about some personal matters.

Being promoted two ranks and six levels in five years is an extremely fast speed. Generally, it is only possible when a war breaks out and one has made continuous military achievements. Civil servants basically don't have the luxury of such a promotion speed.

Chen Mingcha was a little shy and whispered, "Aunt is pretty, in an indescribable way, Mingcha is not as good as her."

Besides, it’s okay to dress up as much as you want when you’re young, as long as you don’t put anything messy on your face.”

Luo Xiaomei glared at her daughter, and Xiao Yuehua immediately stopped talking.

Of course, what you think in your heart is one thing, but you still have to do it on the surface. The steward was right to remind me that there are so many people here, and what I said just now was indeed a bit reckless.

Wang Ping'an smiled and waved to a woman in coarse cloth in the crowd.

Her full name is Chen Mingcha, and her nickname is Chen Xiaomei. She had no name before, until she was seven years old, when she picked Mingqian tea. Then she gave herself a name. This was the result of Wang Zheng spreading the art of tea frying and the popularization of tea.

Gao Zairen knew clearly whether hard work could bring him promotion or wealth. He had worked hard in Linyuan County for several years and almost lost his position as county magistrate. If it were not for the students from Yuzhou who pitied him and helped him, who would be the chief official in Linyuan County? It was only after Wang Ping'an and Li Xian came that Gao Zairen was promoted to the governor of Xiazhou. These were two golden thighs. Gao Zairen tried his best to hold on to them, and the rewards were naturally gratifying.

Later, Xiao Yuehua also came over to call people. After all the trouble, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious. This was mainly because Wang Zheng was very humble, and the Chen family felt honored and naturally were easy to talk to.

After all, there is a huge gap in status between the two families. Even if it is a marriage, Wang Zheng can be said to be respectful to the wise, so the Chen family naturally feels very satisfied.

When they sat at the table, Wang Zheng drank wine and Chen Lie drank strong sake, and the two chatted quite harmoniously. At the beginning, Chen Lie was a little restrained, but after a few drinks, the conversation became more casual.

"Brother, to be honest, this marriage is considered too high for my family. After all, given your status, it is only natural for Ping An to marry a princess."

Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "There is no such thing as marrying up or not marrying up. I am just a commoner. My family is not considered a wealthy family. Our daily life is similar to that of ordinary people."
