Wei Qiao's face changed, and he almost drove the entire cold and silent hall.

Wei Qiao has always been calm and calm, and the things that can make him change color all of a sudden have also raised everyone's hearts.

Everyone in the hall had their eyes on him, not knowing what made him suddenly change his face so panicked when he was proud.

Li Xiluan was even more pretty, and walked down regardless of the others.

Li Xiluan walked to Wei Qiao's side, looked at Wei Qiao's changing expression, and said softly, "Uncle." ”

Wei Qiao frowned, staring at Chen Qi with flickering eyes, and suddenly frowned again, and his eyes turned to Chu Shan coldly.

The Chu family has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and it is difficult to rule out that this holy decree is not for the Chu family!

Chu Shan frowned, his face was also cold, he glanced at Wei Qiao, shook his head slightly, and turned his gaze to Chen Qi coldly.

Just now, a subordinate also whispered something in his ear, and apparently he also knew.

Wei Qiao frowned, and at the same time, his mind turned, turned his head to look at Chen Qi, looked at his trembling right hand, and suddenly smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I made a bet with Chen Ting at the time, if I won the Chamber of Commerce, he would leave Jinling with the Chen family, I don't know this sentence, does it count?" ”

Chen Qi looked up at Wei Qiao, and said with a smile on his dry face: "Of course it counts, what about Wei Gongzi's promise?" ”

"Same!" Wei Qiao raised his palm.

Chen Qi frowned slightly, and immediately raised his withered right hand and slapped it heavily with Wei Qiao's palm.

Chen Qi put down his palm, turned his head and looked at Li Xiluan with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Li, my words are counted before I die, you can come to me at any time." ”

After speaking, his eyes suddenly turned to Wei Qiao. But Wei Qiao's face did not move at all, not indifferent but expressionless, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Chen Qi frowned slightly, but smiled again and shook his head, perhaps secretly blaming himself for being suspicious.

Li Xiluan's pretty face was cold, and she was about to reprimand immediately, but suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and three or four figures appeared in everyone's eyes very quickly, interrupting Li Xiluan.

Everyone's face changed dramatically at a glance!

A young man with a white face, dressed in the clothes of a palace eunuch, holding a golden brocade silk in one hand, walked in expressionlessly. He was followed by two people who were slightly younger and dressed in the same color and a little lighter, bowing slightly, with a respectful and cautious expression.

The white young man glanced at everyone lightly, and his heart was also startled by the burning eyes of everyone, but he still said loudly in a sharp voice: "Chen Ting, take the order!" ”

Chen Qi's face was indifferent, but he was inevitably excited, and hurriedly waved his hand, and the middle-aged man who had been standing behind the three of them immediately walked over and knelt respectfully in the center with Chen Qi on his shoulder.

Chen Ting's face was also excited, he threw off his robe and knelt down beside Chen Qi.

Chen Zhuo frowned, and then knelt down with a bitter face.

Chu Shan and Wei Qiao glanced at each other, their expressions were solemn, and they also stood up, walked behind Chen Qi, and knelt on one knee.

Li Xiluan glanced at Wei Qiao, Wei Qiao frowned, his eyes flickered and hesitated, and then nodded lightly at Li Xiluan, pulling her to kneel on one knee.

And Wang Feng, Liu Zhengxu, and Shao Yi, who were watching from the sidelines, couldn't stay out of the matter at this time, so they also walked over respectfully and knelt behind everyone.

The family of the person receiving the order knelt in full, and the others knelt halfway.

The young man's eyes swept at everyone again, opened the holy decree, and shouted in a more sharp voice: "Edict: Jinling Chen Ting, serve the public to filial piety, be kind and courteous." I know that you donated 300,000 yuan of silver, and countless victims of the disaster in the northwest were lived, and the merits were immeasurable. I also heard that you are talented and dignified, married the Zheng family, and gave a second-class baron as a sign of merit! ”

According to the 'Qi Li', this is not a true holy decree, but can only be regarded as a kind of verbal commendation conveyed in writing.

As soon as the young eunuch's voice fell, except for the Chen family, their faces changed greatly!

The titles of Daqi have rarely been divided since the current emperor ascended the throne, and some of them are also awarded by some deceased generals or old ministers, expressing compassion. Even the hard-working Shoufu still doesn't have a knighthood!

There are 300,000 pieces of silver, and most of the people here can take it out if they scrape together, but if they want to buy a knighthood, it is simply wishful thinking. Because the power to divide the title is in the hands of the emperor, even the cabinet has no right to decide. If you want to get the royal title, you have to pass the clan level, so if you want to get the title, it is not only the economic strength, but also the consent of the clan palace, and the energy in it, pulling out any one can scare a bunch of people to death!

The holy decree was not read, and those shopkeepers in the south, south, south, and northwest knelt on the ground in shock, trembling in their hearts, and glanced at Chen Qi, who was kneeling there and trembling, and everyone's eyes revealed a shocking chestnut.

But thinking that the Chen family has recently been very close to the Zheng family, everyone has a rough idea in their hearts.

Li Xiluan's pretty face was tense, biting her lips, and her pretty eyes were full of unwillingness.

She has been preparing for so long, it's ridiculous, she didn't even have a round of the Chen family.

Chu Shan also had a gloomy face, his eyes swept over the shopkeepers behind him, and his eyes were indifferent.

At this time, all the shopkeepers, whether east and west or north and south, whether their original position was to stand there, at this time their eyes were on the Chen family's side!

"Chen Ting takes the order!" Chen Ting knelt forward and received the holy decree with his hands raised.

The young eunuch looked at Chen Ting, who stood up, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Gongzi Chen, you are one of the few barons in my family." ”

Chen Ting handed over the holy decree to the side while helping Chen Qi on the ground. Chen Qi sat on the chair and gasped, looked at the young eunuch with a relieved smile, and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, please stay and have a cup of tea, so that the Chen family can show a little heart." ”

When the young eunuch heard this, he immediately smiled knowingly, "Thank you Shopkeeper Chen." ”

Chen Qi smiled faintly and made a 'please' gesture to the southeast corner.

The eunuch smiled, nodded at Chen Qi, turned around and walked towards the southeast corner: "Go." ”

The two eunuchs behind him immediately bowed down and followed.

Wang Feng, Liu Zhengxu and Shao Yi respectively greeted the young eunuch, and the four of them returned to their seats.

Wang Feng looked at the Chen family with a faint smile on his face, and nodded quietly. I probably figured out that this was the case.

Liu Zhengxu looked at Wei Qiao, shook his head and sighed. Since the Chen family has married the queen and left a name on the emperor's side, the Wei family naturally has no chance at all.

Shao Yi frowned, but immediately let go again. glanced at the three people on the right who looked like an understatement, and they still had a smile like Maitreya Buddha on their faces.

The crowd kneeling on the ground returned to their seats, but their expressions changed drastically. Their faces no longer seemed to hesitate, and they looked at the Chen family with respect, fear, but also determination.

Li Xiluan sat on the edge of Wei Qiao, frowned, saw Wei Qiao's expression change, the pillar in his hand turned sharply, barely squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "Uncle don't worry, let's leave Jinling, my father also left me some world, enough for us to spend." ”

Wei Qiao frowned, turned his head to look at her, and shook his head with a smile. If Li Xiluan marries for four years, but takes his brother-in-law back four years later, even if the atmosphere of Daqi is open, it is estimated that he will not be able to raise his head when he goes out. Moreover, Wei Qiao is not out of the question, but he is hesitating, not knowing whether to take it out. I don't know how much more the weight of the thing in his hand is than that of a baron, but as soon as he takes it out, he is really swept into the whirlpool, and there will be no better life in the future.

Chu Shan's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were extremely gloomy. Sitting there with his eyes closed, his hands on his stomach, his two index fingers crossed and turning, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Chen Qi smiled lightly, as if he had completed something important, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Chen Ting's face was calm, and his eyes shone brightly. Looking at the golden holy decree beside him, his fists were clenched tightly.

Chen Zhuo's confidence that he had just lost seemed to have recovered a lot at this moment, staring at Wei Qiao with his chest rising and falling, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

That Xie Long, Qiao Zhengyan, Jiang You, and the like were all completely stupid at this time, no matter who they supported and opposed before, they were all shocked at this moment. They are small businessmen, even if they are of some scale, in the eyes of the imperial court, they are ants that can be pinched to death at any time! I never thought that a lowly businessman would be almost referred to in the court, but one day he could even be knighted! The title of Daqi can be counted on two hands, which is a treatment that even those hard-working adults and generals do not have!

Although the Chen family may have borrowed the power of the queen's mother, it still shocked everyone's hearts, their brains were dizzy, and the world was spinning, and they couldn't distinguish between north and south, east and west for a while.

The silence in the hall was terrifying, and now, everyone's eyes were on Wei Qiao. The Chen family has already obtained the title, which means that it is approved by the emperor, that is to say, Chen Ting is a person favored by the emperor, and now even if it is the cabinet, it must be taken care of more and cannot be disposed of at will. Everything that concerns Chen Ting, he must report to the palace to wait for the emperor's ruling!

Now, even if the Wei family has the first assistant's handwritten calligraphy and painting official ink, it will not be able to confront the Chen family at this time!

How should the Wei family respond?

Chen Qi, Chen Ting, Chu Shan, Li Xiluan, Jiang You...... Everyone's eyes were staring at Wei Qiao, who was frowning, his eyes flickering, and his face was unpredictable. Although they knew that the Wei family had nothing to do, everyone couldn't help but have a trace of expectation and a trace of fantasy.

After a long time, Wei Qiao slowly raised his head, his eyes swept from left to right indifferently, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was about to come to an end.

"Hehe, it's so lively." Just as Wei Qiao was about to speak, suddenly, an old laugh came from the staircase.

The frightened people changed their faces one after another, frowning, their eyes trembling and frightened, and even their bodies trembled and slowly turned to the staircase.
