Chapter 224: It's Just a Grade C Medium Man!
Chu Jiang, the largest waste in Hidden Dragon City!
If it was about Chu Jiang's evaluation, in Hidden Dragon City, there were only a few people, and if she said this, Mrs. Shen would not believe this.
But
Millions of people in Hidden Dragon City, everyone said that Chu Jiang, the eldest young master of the Chu family, can't support the wall with mud, tiger father and dog
How could this not convince Mrs. Shen of this?
After all, a few people mislooked at Chu Jiang, and it was possible that it was because of prejudice or something, but it was impossible for millions of people in Hidden Dragon City to be wrong, right?
Therefore.
For a long time, in Mrs. Shen's heart, she thought that Chu Jiang was a complete waste.
But
As the housekeeper said just now, this Chu Jiang looks relatively calm.
This description is far from the words that Mrs. Shen found out before.
It's this huge contrast.
Therefore, Mrs. Shen's heart was surprised.
As for why Mrs. Shen deliberately sent someone to Hidden Dragon City, thousands of miles away, two years ago to find out how Chu Jiang was doing, it was naturally because-
"Madam, I heard that in the past two years, the master has always wanted to match Miss Qiuyun and the eldest young master of the Chu family, Chu Jiang, and want the two to get engaged. ”
"This can't be true, right?"
As if thinking of something, a look of hesitation appeared on the gray-haired steward's old face.
The old steward was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"The master did mention this matter, but about this matter, the master has not discussed it specifically with Chu Tianxiao of the Chu family. ”
Hearing the steward's inquiry, Mrs. Shen responded lightly
"However, the master said that when Qiu Yun is eighteen years old and has performed the coming-of-age and New Year ceremonies, he will personally take Qiu Yun to Hidden Dragon City to find Chu Tianxiao of the Chu family. ”
"Make a marriage contract between Qiu Yun and that Chu Jiang, the eldest young master of the Chu family. ”
And this year, Qiuyun is sixteen years old. ”
"It's only two years since she's eighteen years old. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen sighed in a low voice, her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly.
And then.
Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand with a little headache and rubbed her forehead.
Hearing Mrs. Shen's affirmative words, the old housekeeper behind her suddenly had a face full of disbelief.
Regarding this matter, the old steward had occasionally heard about it from the maid who served Miss Qiuyun before.
But
He had always thought it was just gossip.
But today, the old steward heard Mrs. Shen's personal admission.
After a long time.
The old butler slowly came back to his senses from the shock brought by the news.
But
In his tone, he still couldn't hide the shock and said
"But, Miss Qiuyun, how can you get engaged to that Chu Jiang?"
"That Chu Jiang is just the eldest young master of a remote town in Hidden Dragon City, and Miss Qiuyun is the unattainable proud daughter of the sky. ”
"You must know that in these years, there have been countless people who have pursued Miss Qiuyun, and among these suitors, there are some young masters with solid families in the city. ”
"Even, even Luo Xinglong, the eldest young master of the Luo family, is extremely fond of Miss Qiuyun. ”
"Luo Fengtian, the head of the Luo family, is a top powerhouse who has stepped into the first-class realm for many years. ”
"The Luo family is in the city, and they are all big families. ”
"A Tianjiao figure like Luo Xinglong can not be compared to Chu Jiang, the eldest young master of that remote town!"
"Moreover, just yesterday, Luo Xinglong, the eldest young master of the Luo family, also successfully broke through from the second-rate realm to the realm of first-class supreme martial artists. ”
"Tonight, the Luo family invited many families to hold a celebration banquet in the Luo family's courtyard, and Luo Xinglong also invited our Miss Qiuyun to the banquet. ”
Even if he has been a housekeeper in the Shen family for decades, he has seen a lot of storms.
But
At this moment, in the face of this matter, he can't keep his peace of mind at all.
The old housekeeper also believed that if this matter was spread, I am afraid that anyone in the city would feel incredible and horrified when they heard it.
"How is the old man, you are the old man of the Shen family, and naturally you know very well, the old man has always been, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring. ”
"What's more, Chu Tianxiao has a life-saving grace for the master!"
Seeing the old steward's shocked appearance, Mrs. Shen smiled faintly, not surprised.
"However, that can't sacrifice Miss Qiuyun's life. ”
The old steward sighed.
But
The old steward also understands very well that if Chu Tianxiao really has a life-saving grace for the master.
Then, with the master's character, let alone marrying Miss Qiuyun to Chu Jiang.
Even if everything in the entire Shen family is given to the Chu family in Hidden Dragon City, the master will not hesitate at all.
"What exactly this marriage will be is still unknown. ”
"Let's go, I'll meet him in the drawing-room. ”
After standing in place and muttering secretly for a moment, Mrs. Shen slowly shook her head.
And then
She walked slowly in the direction of the living room.
The old steward hurried after him.
The shadows of the trees in the courtyard are mottled, and there are large trees that can only be hugged by several people in the lawn, and on both sides of the stone path, there are occasionally some maids and maids walking by.
Shen family.
In the Fucheng, although it is far inferior to those top families with grandmaster powerhouses, it is not as good as the big families that exist as first-class top martial artists.
However, Shen Yan, the head of the Shen family, is also a martial artist who has stepped into the second-rate realm for many years.
In Fucheng, he also laid some expensive family business.
Mrs. Shen walked through the courtyard and came to the courtyard where the meeting room was located.
Stopping, Mrs. Shen's faint gaze looked at the young man who was sitting quietly in the hall.
The next moment, her slender eyebrows were slightly raised.
The young man, dressed in an extremely simple coarse linen robe, had a young face, straight eyebrows and eyes, and was extremely handsome.
What attracted Mrs. Shen's attention even more was that his eyes were bright and had an indescribable taste.
This is Chu Jiang, the eldest young master of the Chu family who was called the first waste by millions of people in Hidden Dragon City?
It doesn't look like it
According to the address written on Chu Tianxiao's letter, Chu Jiang came to the door of Shen's house, and then handed over the jade pendant in the letter to the steward at the door.
Chu Jiang was led into this living room by the old steward.
Then.
After pouring a cup of tea for Chu Jiang, the old steward said to report to Madame, and after that, he turned around and left.
"This Shen family is very different from the Wu family I went to before!"
Picking up the tea placed aside, Chu Jiang lowered his head and took a sip slowly.
muttered to himself.
before
When he went to the Wu family, Chu Jiang found that there were more than 300 guards guarding the Wu family's courtyard, and there were more than 300 martial artists who had set foot in the third-rate realm.
Even, among the guards of the Wu family, there are some guards who have stepped into the second-rate realm.
And in this Shen family's guard.
The martial artists who have stepped into the third-rate realm, in Chu Jiang's induction, there are only less than ten in total.
As for the kind of guards who have stepped into the second-rate realm.
This Shen family has no one.
From this guard, you can see how big the gap between the Shen family and the Wu family is.
But.
This is also understandable.
After all, although the strength of this Shen family is stronger than the strength of his Chu family.
However, if the Shen family is compared to the top family in Fucheng, the Wu family, it is not a level at all.
"However, this Shen family, as a temporary place to stay, is still okay. ”
Putting the teacup back on the table on the side, Chu Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
In fact
As for where to settle down, Chu Jiang didn't care at all.
He didn't really care about the environment of the place where he stayed.
Even if you just find a cave around Fucheng, Chu Jiang can do it.
Of course, if Chu Jiang wanted to find a better place to settle than the Shen family, with his strong strength, it would definitely be a trivial matter.
The reason why Chu Jiang chose this Shen family.
What's more, it's to make Chu Tianxiao in Hidden Dragon City feel at ease.
At this moment,
Chu Jiang saw the old steward who came to the door, and the richly dressed lady beside the old steward.
He stood up.
He gave a senior salute to the lady who walked slowly into the living room.
Mrs. Shen nodded at Chu Jiang with a smile.
It was in the main seat of the living room that he sat down.
After taking the tea brought by the old steward, after a few simple greetings with Chu Jiang, Mrs. Shen spoke
"The virtuous nephew came here in Fucheng, is he coming to study in the academy?"
"Or is it to prepare for the Fucheng and open up a trade route connecting the Chu family in Hidden Dragon City?"
"No matter which nephew wants to do, my Shen family will do their best to help you. ”
For the Chu Jiang of the eldest young master of the Chu family in front of her, Mrs. Shen's heart was not very satisfied.
But.
But she also knows it clearly.
These words, even if she doesn't say so now, when Shen Yan, who went out to do errands, comes back and sees Chu Jiang, she will definitely do so.
After all
As the person next to Shen Yan's pillow, no one knows better than Mrs. Shen how much Shen Yan values the relationship with the Chu family.
Moreover, Mrs. Shen also wanted to see if this Chu Jiang had the heart to be motivated.
If, if Chu Jiang had the heart to be motivated and had some ability, he would not be as unbearable as the millions of people in Hidden Dragon City.
Then it is not impossible for him to make a marriage contract with Qiuyun.
Who knew that after hearing Mrs. Shen's words, Chu Jiang shook his head directly.
Then, Chu Jiang lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said lazily
"This time I came to Fucheng for no other purpose, and I didn't want to go to the academy to study, let alone open up any trade routes or anything like that. ”
"I'm just in Hidden Dragon City, I'm tired of playing, and I want to play in a different place, so I'll come to Fucheng to play here for a while, that's all. ”
Chu Jiang said to what Mrs. Shen just said about going to the academy, or opening up a trade route or something.
No interest.
He came to Fucheng to find more thousand-year-old herbs, kill more martial arts powerhouses, and kill more mysteries here in Fucheng.
In this way, he can harvest more white points of light, so that his strength can be quickly improved.
"Oh, you didn't come to Fucheng to study at the academy, and you didn't want to open up a business route, you just wanted to have fun?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen's brows furrowed tightly.
Apparently.
Chu Jiang's words just now didn't matter anything to his lazy attitude, he just wanted to have fun in time, but it made Mrs. Shen completely disappointed in him.
No wonder, millions of people in Hidden Dragon City say that Chu Jiang, the eldest young master of the Chu family, is a waste of mud that can't support the wall, and a tiger father and dog.
You must not let Qiuyun marry him!
In Mrs. Shen's heart, she thought like this.
Even the smile on her face, at this moment, couldn't help but fade a little.
"Virtuous nephew, as the only son of Chu Tianxiao and the only heir of the Chu family, don't always think about having fun, it's better to learn business. ”
"After all, when your father is a hundred years later, the family business of the Chu family will still be in your hands. ”
"At that time, the rise and fall of the entire Chu family will all depend on you. ”
Although, for Chu Jiang in front of her, Mrs. Shen was already disappointed.
However, because of the relationship between the Shen family and the Chu family, she still spoke patiently.
"That's what Mrs. Shen said. ”
Chu Jiang ignored Mrs. Shen's face at all, and said softly without being humble or arrogant.
In fact
From beginning to end, Chu Jiang had no intention of inheriting the Chu family's family business.
Otherwise, with his current strength, it was enough to make the Chu family the top family in Fucheng.
Mrs. Shen patiently talked with Chu Jiang for a few more words, and saw that he was not deeply involved in many fields.
She couldn't help but shake her head secretly in her heart.
even
Mrs. Shen had some worries about the future of the Chu family.
"If the Chu family really lets this Chu Jiang inherit it, I'm afraid that in a few years, the Chu family, the top family in Hidden Dragon City, will completely decay. ”
"It seems that when the master comes back from his errands, it is necessary to mention to him that this Chu family's eldest young master, Chu Jiang, is not worthy of Qiuyun at all. ”
"If Qiuyun marries him, then Qiuyun's life will be ruined. ”
Mrs. Shen sighed with emotion in her heart.
After a few more brief greetings between the two, Mrs. Shen turned her head.
Directed to the old steward who had been quietly guarding the side, he commanded
"You take Young Master Chu to the backyard, clean the best guest room carefully, and let Young Master Chu Jiang stay. ”
"It's Madam, Young Master Chu, please!"
Hearing Mrs. Shen's order, the old steward bowed slightly, and then, turning his head, he smiled softly at Chu Jiang on the side.
"Hmm. ”
After standing up and nodding to Mrs. Shen who was sitting on the side, Chu Jiang followed the old steward towards the backyard of the Shen family and walked slowly.
And wait until the old housekeeper takes Chu Jiang to arrange a place to live.
In this living room, only Mrs. Shen was left.
At this moment, Mrs. Shen's eyes were slightly closed, and her slender eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
In her mind, everything she knew about Chu Jiang quickly flashed.
At last.
This information was all fixed on Chu Jiang's various performances when she came into contact with Chu Jiang just now.
The living room fell into a kind of silence as Mrs. Shen pondered.
After a long time.
Mrs. Shen slowly opened her eyes and murmured softly as if talking to herself
"C-!!"
These two simple words are Mrs. Shen's final evaluation of Chu Jiang.
For choosing a son-in-law for her daughter Shen Qiuyun, Mrs. Shen has her own set of methods for separating people's ranks.
In this way, it is necessary to distinguish the strengths and weaknesses of a person.
and, whether she is qualified to be the son-in-law of her Shen family.
That is, the other party is divided into four levels, A, B, C, D, and each rank can be divided into upper, middle and lower levels.
Among them, Class A is the best type of young man in Mrs. Shen's opinion.
The D-level inferior, in her eyes, is the worst type of person.
