When he arrived at Chen Gui's residence, he found that the place was as crowded as a market. There was an endless stream of people who came to pay their respects to Chen Gui. Not only were there influential figures from the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, but there were also generals from Lu Bu's army and people sent by aristocratic families from other provinces. He could even see people sent by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and other forces.
It seemed that this Chen Gui was not as simple as a Minister of Pei.
At the door, Liu Yang met Gan Mei again. The two of them looked at each other in surprise.
"What a coincidence, you're also attending Lord Chen's birthday banquet." Gan Mei smiled.”
"Elder Chen is our marriage witness, so of course he has to go."”
There were many servants welcoming them in front of the door. One of the servants recognized Gan Mei's father, Gan An. Because Gan An had previously been Chen Gui's subordinate, he wanted to let them in.
The servant might not have been to Liu Yang and Lu Lingqi's wedding, and he didn't see Liu Yang and Lu Lingqi on the street today, so he didn't know who Liu Yang was.
"Young Master, may I know your name?" he asked.”
"My surname is Liu Yang."”
"Liu Yang? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before." "What's your official position now?" the servant asked.”
Like most people, this servant did not remember Liu Yang's name. He only remembered Lu Bu's son-in-law. He would not associate Liu Yang with Lu Bu's son-in-law.
After all, this was the residence of the Prime Minister of Pei State. The Prime Minister was equivalent to the prefect of the county, the chief of the city, and the secretary of the municipal party committee. Therefore, there were no ordinary people who came here. Those who came were all officials.
Gan Mei's father, Gan An, had been a minor official for Chen Gui for many years. He knew all of the servants, which was why he had let them in.
"I'm still a commoner and have no official position." Liu Yang said indifferently.”
Lu Bu hadn't arranged any official positions for him yet.
The servant's face darkened. He wanted to chase Yang Liu away like a beggar.
Gan Mei couldn't take it anymore and shouted at the servant,"This is Wen Hou's son-in-law, how dare you stop him!”
Only then did the servant realize that the son-in-law of Marquis Wen and Lu Bu was called Liu Yang. It turned out that he was the one in front of him!
Thinking of Liu Yang's amazing archery skills and his godly power to pull the mad horse, the servant shuddered.
He quickly revealed a respectful smile." So it's you, Young Master. The Minister often mentions you. Young Master, please come in!"”
This servant had changed from arrogance to deference. He had changed so quickly that it made people a little uncomfortable.
Liu Yang was too lazy to argue with such a servant and quickly walked in.
At this moment, the Minister's Residence was already filled with distinguished guests.
One had to know that Chen Gui was not just the Prime Minister of Pei. He was the grandson of the Governor of Guanghan, the nephew of the Grand Marshal, Chen Qiu, the cousin of the Governor of Wujun, Chen Yu, and the Governor of Ruyin, Chen Cong. He was also the father of Chen Deng and Chen Ying. His son, Chen Deng, was still the Governor of Guangling.
There were so many high-ranking officials in their family. Although their students and old officials could not be compared to the Yuan family of Runan, which had four generations and three dukes, they were still one of the top wealthy families in Xuzhou.
Therefore, there were constantly prefects, county magistrates, generals, and lieutenants sending birthday gifts, whether it was gold or jade, or cultural relics and paintings.
A servant shouted,""Wen Hou's son-in-law, Liu Yang, has come to congratulate you on your birthday…"
Yang Liu was a little passive because he didn't prepare any gifts.
The Lu family should have prepared it for him. After all, he was the son-in-law of the Lu family and represented the Lu family's face.
However, Lu Bu had never cared about this matter. The person in charge of the family's finances was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan had a strong opinion of Liu Yang and deliberately made him lose face. Therefore, she did not arrange a gift for him at all.
Therefore, Liu Yang did not bring anything with him and was about to be mocked by all the guests.
Gan Mei was worried and wanted to ask Gan An for their gifts to help Liu Yang.
Gan An was unwilling…
Liu Yang immediately thought of a countermeasure and smiled at Gan Mei."Xiao Mei, don't worry. Although I didn't bring any gifts now, I'll make a gift later. I guarantee that it'll make Mr. Chen happier than the gifts they gave him!”
"Really?" Gan Mei stared at Liu Yang. Then I believe in you. You will definitely create another miracle!”
She didn't know why she always trusted Liu Yang so easily. She believed that Liu Yang had more surprises for her besides his Nine Stars Alignment Archery Skill and his divine power to pull a mad horse.
Liu Yang looked at Gan Mei and sighed in his heart. They were both beauties, but why was Gan Mei always so confident in him? Why was his wife, Lu Lingqi, always so skeptical and picky about him?
Was it because of the difference between love and not love?
