Chapter 135: It's hard to resist hospitality

readx;

Xu Chen was speechless for a long time, and could only smile bitterly: "Forget it, it's already like this......"

People said politely, Xu Chen would not hold it up, and personally led 6 Hao to the gate to greet him. Pen&Fun&Ge www.biquge.info8Ω1 Chinese Δ Net

The courtyard that the third Wang Ce bought at the beginning was just a merchant mansion, and he couldn't talk about the lintel, and he only had one gate in and out.

"Brother Cheng!"

As soon as Xu Chen went out, Cheng Ruoshui just opened the curtain of the car and walked down with a straight face.

stared at Xu Chen for a while, probably thinking that he was at the door after all, and he didn't want to hurt Xu Chen's face, so he only kept a calm face, turned his head and said coldly to the entourage of the gang: "Come on, bring everything in!"

"This is ......" 6 Hao on the side looked at the red paper on the load, and the flat shoulder and wooden box were all red, and he roughly understood, but he could only smile embarrassedly: "Brother Cheng, there is really no need for this ......"

"Hmph!" It's okay not to mention it, the more Cheng Ruoshui talks about it, the more angry he becomes, but he didn't embarrass 6 Hao, the groom official, but pointed at Xu Chen and scolded: "He doesn't know how to be a man, do you want me to learn from him?"

"If you're in the field, it's fine......" Cheng Ruoshui couldn't hold back and shouted: "It's in Chang'an City!"

"Okay! It's been a fuss for more than half a month, and the brothers want to get married, but I didn't even hear the slightest disturbance! If it weren't for the big noise yesterday, I would still be being hidden!"

"This ......" Xu Chen laughed dryly: "The teacher doesn't let you do a big job." ”

Saying that, he gave 6 Hao a look, and when 6 Hao saw this, he hurriedly helped Yuanchang: "Yes, yes, many people don't know, even the teacher came lightly!"

"Who are you bluffing?" Cheng Ruoshui stared at a pair of big eyes unique to the old Cheng family, and shouted in a loud voice: "When I am a three-year-old doll, did you seem to want people to know about your posture yesterday?"

"You can't blame me!" Xu Chen immediately sold 6 Hao, stared at him seriously, and said coldly: "It's all this guy's own opinion, I was still outside the city at that time, and when I came back, I was shocked!"

6 Hao turned his head and glanced at the unwanted eldest brother lightly, without speaking, with a look of disdain.

"I don't care!" was too lazy to listen to their gossip, Cheng Ruoshui waved his hand and said directly: "Since you call me Lao Cheng, I can't ignore it as a big brother, I am not there at yesterday's wedding, don't count! Today, do it again!"

As he spoke, he didn't wait for them to excuse himself, strode into the courtyard, opened his throat and shouted: "Where is my brother's daughter-in-law?

Xu Chen, who was still standing outside the door, was speechless for a while.

Since he helped Sun Desheng earn a lot of money in Yuzhang that made them afraid, Lu Guogong Cheng's family also counted Xu Chen's thief ship. After that, Cheng Ruoshui relied on the angry words of reprimanding his son that day, "Lai" fell in love with Xu Chen's brother, in addition to regularly getting back the money he had received at the beginning, he also sent some guys over soon after, and completely joined Xu Chen's business structure.

Peng Ze's warehouse and Zheng Tai's ocean-going fleet all had people from the Cheng family involved, and even after Xu Chen was made an envoy to the Ryukyu Festival, he also let the children of the Cheng family join the Wuwei Army.

In fact, for a big family like the Cheng family, according to the consistent principle, Xu Chen doesn't really want to integrate it into his side, in the most utilitarian way, Lu Guogong, a noble who has almost lost his sense of existence in Chang'an, can not help Xu Chen much, but it carries great risks to absorb it.

So far, Xu Chen's attitude towards the Cheng family is still cautious, although some of the Cheng family's children have joined the Wuwei Army, they are only ordinary, and the core secrets have not been touched.

Even after coming to Chang'an, Xu Chen still kept a considerable distance from this cheap big brother, and since Wang Ce came to Beijing, he only let him visit on special days such as New Year's holidays or the birthdays of the Cheng family.

After all, the path is different, and it is impossible for the Cheng family to completely give up a large family to go with Xu Chen, and Xu Chen also did not absorb the idea of such a big family.

Even for the Cheng family's active approach, Xu Chen still subconsciously retained some vigilance.

Of course, in this regard, Xu Chen, who is not from a big family, actually does not know the strong desire of a family like the Cheng family with prominent ancestors and a middle-class family to restore the glory of the family.

From the perspective of the Cheng family, even if some partial houses and branches are sacrificed in exchange for the opportunity for the family to rise, this is understandable.

Similar to the Cheng family, it is not uncommon for a branch of the family to move out and let it develop, which can not only reduce the pressure on the lineage, but also save the consideration of leaving a line of blood in case something happens.

After all, being prepared for danger in times of peace is the idea that these big families with a long heritage are almost integrated into their bones.

What's more, for Xu Chen's group of teenagers, the Cheng family may not have considered it before making a choice, when the money was divided, it was only Cheng Ruoshui who made his own decision to invest part of it in Pengze's warehouse, and then Xu Chen built a shipyard in Shengzhou, Cheng Ruoshui inspected the strength of the shipyard and added a part of it to the maritime trade, and then after the southern rebellion and Xu Chen's seizure of Ryukyu was sealed as the Ryukyu Festival, the Cheng family made the decision to move a vein to settle in Ryukyu, and it was only a matter of the past few months.

The main reason is that after Cheng Ruoshui learned more about Xu Chen, he took the initiative to persuade the family to add investment, and when he first talked about it, he even hoped to put his son Cheng Changyin next to Xu Chen to do things, but Xu Chen did not agree.

All in all, in Cheng Ruoshui's eyes, since the communication between the two parties has come to this point, yesterday's 6 Hao wedding, the Cheng family actually did not receive any news at all, in addition to being a little angry, in fact, a little uneasy.

For 6 Hao's wedding, Liang Jianzhong's side of the Cheng family also checked some of them, Xu Fan and Li Linfu, the two prime ministers, in such an environment, did such a thing that is almost no less than an alliance, whether it is publicity or silence, it is actually intriguing.

Cheng Ruoshui can understand that there may be a lot of entanglements behind this marriage, and he can also understand the consideration that Xu Chen's gang is unwilling to get involved in the situation in the capital too early, but from the perspective of the Cheng family itself, since they have cooperated with Xu Chen's side to this extent, there is no need to hide it.

The Cheng family still left some of the style of their ancestors, and they didn't look ahead and backward when they made a decision, so they prepared a large number of gifts almost overnight, and deliberately dispatched Lu Guogong's guard of honor early this morning, thinking that since it was to let people know, it would simply come over with great fanfare.

What's more, he heard that almost none of the guests who came to congratulate yesterday were passable on the scene, and there was some gossip outside, so he had the saying that he deliberately passed the scene.

For more than a hundred years in a big family, how can a family member do things frizzily and only based on likes and dislikes?

The reason why he even lent his own guard of honor to his younger brother is that the contemporary Lu Guogong actually wants to use today's actions to throw stones and ask for directions, which is similar to Yang Guozhong's purpose.

In the past hundred years of the Cheng family, it is now a general, although it was followed by Li Shimin to fight the world, and the generals of the early Tang Dynasty had already been almost lost in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and the generals represented by the wealthy family in Shandong took advantage of the situation and pressed back.

But after all, after so many years, there has been a fight and harmony between the two, and there are marriages from time to time, it is really impossible to really understand clearly.

So, Lu Guogong, who found an opportunity, did not hesitate, and directly agreed to his younger brother's practice of coming over to support the field, if it was for someone who wanted to see it.

Actually, it's also a gamble.

After all, Xu Chen's side represents Xu Fan, and Li Linfu, who may have formed an alliance with Xu Fan, and Jiangmen has always been not very good at dealing with Li Longji, although the only remaining forces of the Cheng family did not explicitly oppose Li Longji and joined the camp of the crown prince Li Heng before this, but they did not stand up clearly to support the current emperor.

For this reason, Lu Guogong, who was undecided in his heart, also wanted to take Xu Fan's boat this time, and it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or fail, after all, risks are always indispensable.

Xu Chen was only stunned by Cheng Ruoshui's exaggerated actions at first, but when he walked into the hall after him, he almost figured out the other party's purpose.

There is no anger that is exploited, and he doesn't have any emotional ties in their relationship anyway.

It's just that understanding is understanding, and it is impossible for Xu Chen to agree to the absurd suggestion of another wedding.

"This ......" Xu Chen thought for a while, and said to Cheng Ruoshui: "Otherwise, let the second brother and his daughter-in-law come over and give Brother Cheng a cup of tea, and let you recognize this brother and daughter-in-law, as for the matter of organizing another wedding......

"No!" Before Xu Chen finished speaking, Cheng Ruoshui interrupted him: "My old Cheng family has rules! Can my brother and daughter-in-law recognize me casually? But what is it to kowtow in the hall? Spreading it will only make people laugh at the old Cheng family for not knowing etiquette!"

People come with sincerity, Xu Chen can't refuse categorically with a cold face, it's one thing to have no deep feelings, Xu Chen still has the basic quality of smiling and welcoming people: "But I have already done it yesterday, I can't invite the guests back......"

"What's the matter?" Cheng Ruoshui said indifferently: "Yesterday were all relatives and friends from you and your teacher, today is my old Cheng family's recognition of my brother and daughter-in-law, it is a great joy for the old Cheng family, and it is naturally my old Cheng family's relatives and friends, one yard is one yard, no conflict!"

"Then there is no reason to let the second child become two kisses, right?" Xu Chen was a little helpless.

"Why did you get married twice?" Chen Ruoshui just picked up the teacup, and immediately put it down again: "In this world, there are many things that are done abroad once, and when I return to my hometown, I will do it again!"

"Needless to say, my old Cheng family is fully responsible for this matter today!"

"But that's half a day......"

Xu Chen really couldn't find an excuse, and he really complained a little bit about the second child yesterday, okay, why do you set off such exaggerated fireworks?

Although, if you want to replace him, it is estimated that you can make a bigger move......

"Half a day?" Cheng Ruoshui's mouth raised: "Half a day is too much! My old Cheng family has not been in Chang'an City for more than 100 years!"

The power of the old Cheng family, Xu Chen didn't see it in the wedding, but in the next troubles, he deeply realized it.

At this time, an acquaintance of Xu Chen was leading people towards his residence.
