heard.

There was solemnity in the hall.

As for Qin Chao.

Although he still maintained a humble smile on his face at this moment, the tightly held hands and the deep white knuckles were enough to prove his mood at this moment.

Fortunately, Qin Zhenyuan just clicked and stopped.

"But Qin Chao is right about one thing!"

At this moment, Qin Zhenyuan changed his tone and said, "The gift from Lin Chuan is really expensive. He is a meritorious official, so I won't reward him. How can I let him spend money?"

As he said that, he looked directly at Lin Chuan and said, "Boy Lin Chuan, I can't take your copy for free. How about this? I'll ask the butler to pay you the market price later. It's like buying your copybook. How about it?"

"Okay!" Lin Chuan didn't refuse.

"Refreshing, he is a man!"

Seeing that Lin Chuan didn't even refuse, Qin Zhenyuan felt that Lin Chuan was more suitable and said with a smile: "You go back to your seat first. When the family banquet is over, I will ask the butler to find you!"

"Yes!" Lin Chuan responded with a smile.

Judging from the situation just now, Qin Zhenyuan has completely different attitudes towards himself and Qin Chao.

This is not only reflected in the attitude towards giving gifts to the two, but also in the details.

In terms of address alone, Qin Zhenyuan treated Lin Chuan like a boy, exactly like a junior treating his elders, but towards Qin Chao, he called Qin Chao by his first name politely.

It was obvious that he regarded Lin Chuan as one of his own.

And Qin Chao is just an outsider.

The big guys in the hall were obviously aware of this, and they looked at Lin Chuan with a lot of kindness, and there were some subtle changes in their hearts unknowingly.

Seeing Lin Chuan return to his seat, Zhong Lingguang hurriedly winked at Qin Chao. After Qin Chao reacted, he stepped forward and saluted Wu'an Marquis Qin Zhenyuan, and then returned to his seat silently.

Afterwards, the tributes continued.

The next gifts presented by the big guys were exactly the same as before, they were all hometown specialties and the like, until Zhong Lingguang came on stage again.

See the Piyong inkstone.

The people present were really surprised again.

There are very few Piyong inkstones that have survived to this day in the Tang Dynasty. What's more, this Piyong inkstone is not only so well preserved, but it is also most likely a treasure given to Li Weigong Li Jing by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Saw this inkstone.

Qin Zhenyuan was in a very good mood, so he was overjoyed and bought the inkstone at the market price based on the example in the "Execution of the Master" just now.

After the interlude.

Several more big guys came up to offer gifts.

As the last boss presented a piece of bamboo shoots, a specialty of southwest China, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion came over at the right time and reported: "Master Hou, you can take a seat!"

"Go down!"

Qin Zhenyuan waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The butler stepped aside.

Qin Zhenyuan stood up from his seat and said with a smile: "You guys have been chatting for a long time. I think you are hungry. Let's go eat together."

With that said, he took the lead in taking everyone to the banquet hall.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, the neatly arranged tables and chairs caught everyone's eyes.

Lin Chuan took a quick look and saw that there were almost thirty or forty tables in the entire banquet hall.

As soon as they entered the venue, an attendant from the Marquis Mansion came forward to lead everyone to their seats.

Lin Chuan and Zhao Chengtao were led by a young waiter to table No. [-] in the second row.

At this moment, three people were sitting at table No. [-].

One of the men, who was about the same age as Zhao Chengtao, saw the two coming and immediately greeted them with a smile: "Old Zhao, Brother Lin, you are here, sit down quickly! Sit down quickly!"

"Hello!" Lin Chuan nodded to the man and was about to take a seat. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhenyuan at the main table suddenly waved to him and said,

"Linchuan boy, why are you there!?"

"Come, come and sit here, I just want to chat with you!"

In an instant.

Everyone was shocked.

Almost everyone's eyes widened.

Because almost everyone present knew that the Marquis of Wu'an, Qin Zhenyuan, always respected rules.

As for the main table of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, only Marquis Wu'an and his wife, Young Marquis Qin Zhan, Li Ling'er and others were seated at the main table.

Even the commander of the Imperial Guards in the capital who came to attend the family banquet was not qualified to sit.

But now...

Marquis Wu'an actually asked Lin Chuan to sit at the main table?

Not only everyone was surprised.

Even Zhao Chengtao was surprised.

Because of that position, not even his father Zhao had ever done it.

Everyone was surprised, but one person was not surprised at all.

The moment he heard Qin Zhenyuan's words, Qin Zhan came over with a smile, hugged Lin Chuan's neck, and said with a smile: "Brother, come!"

With that said, without waiting for Lin Chuan to refuse, he pulled Lin Chuan to the seat between him and Li Ling'er and sat down.

As for Li Ling'er, she helped Lin Chuan lay the tableware with a smile, and then quietly moved the chair towards Lin Chuan.

"Master Hou."

When Lin Chuan saw this, his eyes moved slightly.

Qin Zhenyuan waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down.

Lin Chuan stopped talking and simply sat down here.
