Chapter 268: The Matchmaker Has Eyes
After receiving Jiang Chen's summons, Ban Cheng did not dare to delay for a moment.
He put down the book in his hand and said goodbye to his students.
Under the protection of several silver-armored guards, they arrived at the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo.
Looking at Ban Cheng who was brought back by the Silver Armor Guards, Jiang Chen stood up with a smile.
"Mr. Ban, I am really sorry to trouble you."
"No problem. If you have any instructions, please tell me, sir."
Ban Cheng, who was anxious to go back and continue teaching, asked Jiang Chen directly.
Seeing Ban Cheng asking so anxiously why he had called him here.
Jiang Chen did not hesitate any longer and directly stated his intention.
"What!?"
"Sir, you are not joking!"
"You actually want to hand over all the political affairs of the North to an old man like me who is struggling in his twilight years!?"
Facing Ban Cheng's incredulous gaze, Jiang Chen nodded calmly.
"Ben is not kidding, Mr. Ben."
"I know that besides teaching, your best skill is handling government affairs."
"So, I feel very relieved if I leave the political affairs of the Northern Territory to you to help handle."
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Ban Cheng suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.
He raised his head in disbelief and stared at Jiang Chen closely.
Feeling his gaze, Jiang Chen also raised his head and met his eyes.
"Why, do you doubt my intention?!"
"You don't have to doubt my decision. I have already made the decision."
"That means, General, I have enough trust in you."
Having said that, Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, this matter has been decided."
"Mr. Ban, you should go back first. You will have to work hard starting tomorrow."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had made up his mind, Ban Cheng didn't know what to say.
He could only nod slowly and bowed to Jiang Chen in reply.
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."
After paying his respects, Ban Cheng turned around and walked out of Jiang Chen's study and left the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion.
After seeing Ban Cheng off, Jiang Chen also left his study.
After arriving at the backyard, the sound of Chen Yueru and other girls playing could be heard from afar.
Listening to these voices, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.
Afterwards, Jiang Chen tiptoed to the sides of the women.
"Ahem, what are you doing?!"
When Jiang Chen suddenly interrupted with this sentence, the women were immediately startled.
"who!?"
“Who is it?!”
Chen Yueru, Su Qingcheng and other girls were so frightened that they turned their heads back, covering their chests.
After seeing clearly that the person coming was Jiang Chen, the girls all breathed a sigh of relief.
"My husband, you really scared me to death!"
"We thought it was some scoundrel who sneaked into the house!"
While Chen Yueru was complaining to Jiang Chen, she gave him a reproachful look.
"Haha, besides me, is there any other man who can come into this backyard?"
"Okay, okay, what are you guys doing? It's so lively."
Jiang Chen smiled and touched Chen Yueru's head, then turned and asked the girls next to him.
In response to Jiang Chen's question, the girls looked at each other quickly.
After confirming the looks from the others, Su Qingcheng walked up to Jiang Chen and spoke somewhat embarrassedly.
"Sir, we were just discussing this."
"I want to take advantage of the Lantern Festival in a few days to go out for a walk together."
After listening to Su Qingcheng's explanation, Jiang Chen was stunned.
Just now I remembered that the Lantern Festival is just a few days away!
The Lantern Festival is a festival celebrated in the Xia Kingdom and the four northern kingdoms.
On the seventh day of the seventh month every year, girls who are 18 or in their early twenties will put on their most beautiful clothes.
Then, take a lantern and go to the street.
At the same time, young people of similar age.
On this day, people would also wear Confucian robes and a square scarf and go to the street.
If, when these young men and girls fall in love with each other.
Then they would exchange tokens with each other and come to the river together.
Light the lantern and put it into the river.
The girl will keep the handkerchief and embroider the man's name and her own name on it.
Then, tie the square scarf together under the largest tree in the city.
After all, this Lantern Festival is the Chinese Valentine's Day that people celebrated in Jiang Chen's previous life.
Seeing that the girls all wanted to go out for a walk, Jiang Chen didn't say anything more, just nodded.
"Okay, let's go together then."
Hearing that Jiang Chen agreed to their requests, Su Qingcheng jumped up with joy.
"Really, sir, you agree that we can go out?!"
" Yes, that's right, but I will have to go with you then."
Facing the very happy women, Jiang Chen nodded.
Just like that, Jiang Chen and several girls agreed to travel together during the Lantern Festival.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the Lantern Festival.
Throughout the streets of Jibei City, people went door to door and hung a pair of lanterns in front of their doors.
In the past, small vendors also took advantage of this day to sell lanterns and scarves.
In addition, these small vendors who understand business opportunities.
She even got a batch of rouge, powder, and some small accessories.
I have to say that these small vendors really think through the little thoughts of the girls.
Jiang Chen brought several veiled women to the street. Around them was a team of silver-armored guards disguised as ordinary people.
Jiang Chen's already handsome appearance was highlighted by his white scholarly robe.
It soon attracted the attention of a large number of young girls.
At that moment, many girls came close , wanting to hand the lanterns in their hands to Jiang Chen.
However, despite the efforts of several girls, they all failed to succeed.
At this moment, in the crowd not far away.
Four handsome young men noticed the girls around Jiang Chen.
"Hey, Brother Tang, those girls over there look pretty good."
"Yes, Brother Tang, although they are all wearing veils."
"But judging from their slender figures, they must be good-looking!"
After hearing what his friends around him said, the young man surnamed Tang immediately became interested.
"Haha, the matchmaker is indeed very kind."
"Come on, brothers, today I, Tang Yuanbai, will open your eyes."
"Let me show you the charm of me, the most talented man in the North!"
After saying this, Tang Yuanbai, who called himself "the most talented man in the North", walked towards Jiang Chen.
The three people behind him saw it and followed with anticipation.
Under the gaze of the three people, Tang Yuanbai came in front of Jiang Chen and others.
Then, he smiled at the girls in what he thought was a very funny way.
"Girls, today at the Lantern Festival, I have never seen beauties like you."
