After the provincial education commissioner reviewed all the students, Old Master Cui's birthday was approaching.
The Cui family was busy preparing for the birthday banquet and setting up the stage. They even built a stove in a small courtyard and invited a chef from a good hotel in the city to prepare the banquet. The servants had been living in fear for a year since the Jinyiwei came to visit and the master sent them to the border. Now that the young master has made a difference, they have finally walked out of the shadow. They all worked hard and prepared this birthday banquet in the name of a birthday banquet, but in fact it was a wedding banquet to celebrate their eldest son marrying the prince.
Ryan Cui, Yun Jie, and He Ge each invited their close relatives and friends, and sent a few unanswered invitations to their hometown. Since Councillor Cui was not at home, and there was no official in their family who was qualified to interact with his former colleagues, they did not send invitations to those people. However, they also invited neighbors, asking them to come over for a drink if they were free.
Although the neighbors got along well with their family, most of them were low-ranking officials, and some of them worked in ministries and courts. Councillor Cui was exiled to Yunnan because he offended the two prime ministers. No matter how promising his son was, he was only successful in the Imperial College. Others only knew that he had such a father, and they didn't dare to get too close to them.
Out of consideration for the long-standing neighborhood relationship, they did send their families, wives and children to greet the neighbors and give them gifts, but the head of the family refused to come to celebrate.
