The red carpet stretched for several hundred meters, extending directly from the entrance of the manor to the living room.

Today, Cao Jun assumes the position of the head of the Cao family. In the past, it was recognized internally, but now it is officially made public and he chooses to announce it to the outside world.

Therefore, the Cao family specially invited guests and held a celebration banquet.

Everyone who was on good terms with the Cao family or wanted to curry favor with the Cao family came to congratulate him one after another.

The Cao family has a new patriarch, and most of the surrounding forces have to worship the dock again.

At this moment, in the meeting hall.

The backbone of the Cao family, led by Cao Jun, have all gathered together.

It’s just that the number of people is much smaller than before.

After these days of changes, nearly half of the core members have been suppressed. Those who can sit here are basically Cao Jun's confidants and vassals.

"Brother, after today, you will be known as the head of the Cao family. Congratulations."

Cao Biao crossed his fists and was the first to express his congratulations.

"The patriarch is wise, powerful, talented and strategic. He is the heroic leader of our Cao family!"

"That's right! I believe that under the leadership of the patriarch, our Cao family will be even more prosperous in the future!"

"The patriarch is mighty!"

Everyone in the Cao family praised him one after another with every word he said.

After some flattery, Cao Jun was beaming with joy and ecstasy.

I have never thought that being a clan leader can be so impressive and majestic before.

This feeling of being above thousands of people is really wonderful.

"Everyone here is indispensable for my successful succession to the throne. I will reward you according to your merits afterwards, and I promise not to treat you badly!" Cao Jun said with a proud smile.

"Thank you, patriarch!"

Everyone looked overjoyed and stood up to salute.

"Uncle, today you ascend to the position of clan leader, and Sister Zhiyuan will marry into the Shangguan family in a few days. It is truly a double happiness!" Cao Yiming said with a smile.

"You're right."

Cao Biao smiled and nodded: "The Shangguan family is the top of the three, and Shangguan Hong is a genius with a limitless future. With such an outstanding son-in-law, brother, you will soon be able to cover the sky with one hand!"

"Yes! Our marriage with the Shangguan family is undoubtedly a strong alliance to dominate the provincial capital, which is just around the corner!" Many people echoed the words.

On the bright side, if the two families are married and complement each other, they can create glory together and become a vassal.

"Speaking of which, I don't understand why the third uncle was so stupid as to refuse to marry the Shangguan family? Is it just because Concubine Cao Xuan doesn't like it?"

Cao Yiming said with a slight sneer: "If this is the case, it is really stupid!"

"So, it is most suitable for the eldest brother to be the leader of the clan. The third brother is too indecisive." Cao Biao praised him again.

"When it comes to the third child, I actually remember it."

Cao Jun knocked on the table and looked at Cao Yiming: "Yiming, how did you do what I asked you to do?"

"Uncle San has a strong bone. It is very difficult to start with him."

Speaking of this, Cao Yiming suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "However, I have found his weak spot. I believe that within two days, he will give me the treasure with both hands."

"This item is very important. You must get it before the wedding!" Cao Jun reminded seriously.

The treasure map is the daughter's dowry. Without this thing, it would be difficult for the Shangguan family to explain it.

"Uncle, just don't worry, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong!" Cao Yiming was full of confidence.

"That's the best." Cao Jun nodded.

"Okay, brother, it's almost time. Let's go to the living room to meet the guests. There is a big shot coming today. I believe he will give you a surprise." Cao Biao said with a meaningful smile.

"Oh? Really? Then I'll wait and see."

Cao Jun grinned, and then led a group of people out of the meeting hall.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, a steward of the Cao family suddenly came up to him, holding a gift box in his hand.

"Patriarch, there is a guest outside and asked me to hand over the gift to you." The steward handed the gift box with both hands.

"Oh? Are you so eager to show your courtesy?"

Cao Jun smiled, opened the gift box and took a look. He was so frightened that he threw the things out.

"Boom!"
Chapter completed!
