Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 293
This banquet was more like a carnival of young people. The person who took the first seat was dressed in a fine attire and looked heroic. Zhao Ji felt very familiar at a glance, and it was the tenth prince Zhou Ming.

On the two sides below, there are two rows of tables and chairs, and a dozen very young youths are enjoying themselves, enjoying wine and dancing.

In the middle of the banquet hall, a beautiful woman is dancing gracefully. The dance is melodious and full of grace. The ten supporting dancers also have good dancing skills, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

The melodious sound can be refreshing, even iron-blooded heroes, under such a pleasant sound, I am afraid that it will turn into soft fingers.

It was really the first time for Zhao Ji to participate in this kind of banquet. When he came in and glanced around, he already felt something different in his heart.

This kind of banquet is clearly seen in the book. It belongs to the kind of dandies who form a small circle and play with a group of people when they are free.

When the atmosphere in the hall was warm, Zhao Ji walked in, like a stone suddenly appeared in a lake, attracting attention.

"Brother Zhao, you are finally here, you made me wait so anxiously."

Seeing Zhao Ji, the Tenth Prince got up immediately, and with a wave of his hand, the woman dancing below stepped back, greeted Zhao Ji, and said with a smile.

Zhao Ji smiled lightly: "It can make the Tenth Prince remember it in his heart, and Zhao Ji is terrified."

"You don't need to call me the Tenth Prince, we fought together after all, so you can call me Brother Zhou."

Zhou Ming said enthusiastically.

Zhao Ji shook his head slightly and said: "How dare you, we have different identities, so it's not good to call it that."

Although in Zhao Ji's thinking, there is no such strict hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, but since the so-called do as the Romans do, it's better to abide by it a little bit.

"You are hypocritical, you are hypocritical. I remember that when you were on God Turtle Island, you didn't think much of my identity. You should call me Brother Zhou."

Zhou Ming seemed dissatisfied.

"That's good, brother Zhou."

Since Zhou Ming insisted, Zhao Ji will not postpone it any more.

Slapping Zhao Ji's shoulder hard, Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's right."

"Come on, Brother Zhao, I'll introduce some people for you. These are some nobles. It will be beneficial for Brother Zhao to get closer and closer in the future."

Zhou Ming said enthusiastically.

Zhao Ji was somewhat surprised by Zhou Ming's enthusiasm, and also somewhat surprised. Although the two had fought together before, they didn't really have such a good relationship.

Moreover, Zhao Ji's understanding of the children of such powerful and powerful people, especially the descendants of the royal family, is that they are usually those who are very deep in the city and good at calculating people. Such straightforward enthusiasm is really a little uncomfortable.

"This is the son of the Duke of England, the second eldest in the family."

"This is the son of Duke Fu, the third eldest in the family."

"This is the fourth son of Hou Cheng."

"This is Fang Zhenghou's youngest son."

……

The people Zhou Ming associates with are indeed not simple. Although they are all the children of nobles, they are not nobles. However, as the second generation of nobles, their parents have extremely high titles, either Dukes or Lords.

After Zhou Ming introduced more than a dozen people in a row, Zhao Ji really discovered a pattern. The noble titles of these noble second-generation parents were all dukes and marquises, and they didn't even have an earl.

However, among these people, they are only the second generation of nobles, and they don't have real titles. The only two exceptions are Zhou Ming and Zhao Ji.

Just after Zhou Mingcai finished introducing everyone, a young man couldn't wait to jump out and asked loudly, "Cousin, who is this? You value him so much, and you actually call him a brother."

The boy is not very old, maybe he is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Just now, Zhou Ming also introduced him. He should be the youngest son of Duke Cheng, named Cheng Fei.

I don't know if it's because he's not deeply involved in the world, or just because of his personality, when he asked those words, Cheng Fei's expression was a bit arrogant, as if he was superior.

For this kind of inexplicably arrogant person, Zhao Ji's first impression is often dissatisfaction, and he will also have such a first impression of Cheng Fei, but he will not express it.

"Little boy, don't be rude."

After glaring at Cheng Fei, Zhou Ming reprimanded him lightly.

Despite the scolding tone, Zhou Ming clearly didn't mean to be angry. Looking at the casualness between the two, it can be regarded as an intimate attitude. It can be seen that the two are relatively close.

"This is Uncle Zhu, pay attention, he is an uncle himself, he is not like you, relying on the shadow of his family, and he is still messing around now."

Zhou Ming solemnly introduced Zhao Ji, praised him, and did not forget to hit the others.

"What, he's an uncle, isn't he?"

"It's not impossible, maybe the one above passed away, luck is better, and he inherited the title."

"Maybe. However, the title of Zhu Haibo is a little familiar. It seems that there is a Zhu Haihou. I have never heard of Zhu Haibo."

"Hey, what you said is really a bit strange. I have never heard that the succession of titles will be gradually reduced. Where did this Zhu Haibo come from?"

"No, no, I heard that the older generation of Marquis Zhu Hai had died long ago, and the Wang family had disputes because of this. In the end, even their titles were cut. How could there be another Zhu Hai Bo?"

……

As soon as Zhao Ji's title was exposed, more than a dozen second-generation nobles were shocked. Although such a young earl is rare, it is not uncommon. If the older generation died early, young people can completely inherit the title.

What surprised them was that Zhu Haibo's title was easily linked with Zhu Haihou, and the difference was thought-provoking.

Although the Marquis of Zhuhai is stationed on the Divine Turtle Island on the border of Wu State, he does not communicate much with the center of the imperial court, but he is a Marquis after all, with a very high title. Once something happens, he cannot escape the attention of other people. Eye.

Many people may not be aware of the series of events that happened in the Haihou Mansion on Shengui Island, but some nobles with relatively high status in the court should know it clearly.

These second generations of nobles also know about this matter, maybe they don't know it very clearly, but they almost know it when they gather together.

"Okay, okay, don't make wild guesses, let me introduce you, the original resident of Shengui Island angered the emperor, and his title has been withdrawn. Brother Zhao's resident in Haibo The title, it can be regarded as taking over the title of Marquis Zhuhai, but these two are not the same family, so don't make a mistake."

Seeing that more than a dozen boys were talking about it, it was a bit outrageous to guess, even though Zhao Ji kept listening quietly, his brows could not help but frown, Zhou Ming didn't dare to wait any longer, and quickly explained.
