Chapter 7: White Sun
The great commercial capital is prosperous, and countless business travelers shuttle through this city. On the northwest side of the capital, a gray mansion stands, although it looks simple, but in the houses, it seems to stand out from the crowd, revealing a different kind of style, noble and elegant.
The cold wind was blowing, a tall sycamore tree stood next to the mansion, with the sound of the carriage, next to the sycamore tree, Chen Shaojun waved his sleeves and got out of the carriage.
"It's finally back!"
Looking at the familiar courtyard in front of him, Chen Shaojun sighed with emotion in his heart. Just looking at the low-key and simple mansion in front of him, who can believe that this is the mansion of Chen Zongxi, the servant of the ministry.
The Great Shang Dynasty, the treasure of the world, the rewards given to officials at all levels have not been low, the father is the third grade, according to the rules of the imperial court, it was originally a gorgeous mansion, but the father did not hesitate to refuse.
"What are you doing! Have your conscience been eaten by dogs? Have you forgotten what the old master and young master did to you before? Now that the Chen family is in trouble, you have not only betrayed the old man and the young master, but also taken the opportunity to rob the Chen family's property.
Just as Chen Shaojun raised his head and looked at the entire courtyard, a girl's voice full of anger came from inside.
"Red Lotus, don't talk nonsense, how can this be a betrayal? The old man and the eldest young master have already gone to prison, and the Chen family has already declined, even if we don't take it, the Chen family will be confiscated in a few days, and it will not fall into the hands of others, rather than this, it is better to cheapen us!"
"Stupid girl! What else is there in the Chen family that is worthy of your nostalgia? Do you still count on that foolish young master who has no prospects! Really, even if you don't think about yourself, don't stop us! You like the Chen family so much, just go with them to die!"
......
There was a noise in the courtyard, and I don't know how many people were making noise inside. Hearing this voice, Jiang Bo and Chen Shaojun's faces became extremely ugly.
"Let's go in!"
Chen Shaojun flicked his sleeves, blushed his face, and walked in first.
......
In the courtyard, the ground was full of fallen leaves, a mess, just under the largest plane tree in the middle, a girl in red fell to the ground, she clenched her fists, her clothes were messy, her clean face was scratched in a few places, she looked at the opposite side stubbornly, her eyes were firm.
Opposite her, there was a group of Tsing Yi slaves, maids and old mothers, each holding all kinds of things from the Chen family, calligraphy and paintings, inkstones, bonsai, tables and chairs, and even boxes for clothes.
The leader is a manager in his thirties who looks aggressive.
"Red Lotus, you'd better get acquainted with me, if you stop us again, don't blame us for being rude!"
The steward at the head said viciously.
"That's right! Get out of the way!"
"Don't be polite to her, let's go up together and teach her a lesson!"
Behind him, a group of servants of the Chen family, fierce and vicious, stared at the red lotus on the ground, and glared angrily. A few have even rolled up their sleeves and are about to do it.
"I see which of you dares!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came, and everyone was startled and turned around.
"Which Wang Badan dares to manage ......"
A group of people were about to open their mouths to scold, when they suddenly saw the young man standing at the gate with outstanding bones and cold eyes, one by one, their hearts jumped, their expressions were suffocated, and they were about to scold the words, but they immediately swallowed back.
"Young Master!"
I don't know who called out, and said the identity of the young man.
At this time, Chen Shaojun's eyes were cold and intimidating, which was completely different from everyone's impression of the gentle appearance in the past, and there was a kind of daunting feeling that had not been seen before. Even the steward who was the leader, the moment he saw Chen Shaojun's gaze, he couldn't help but subconsciously lower his head, and he lost his previous arrogance.
"You are so bold!"
Chen Shaojun walked from the door of the courtyard, only to feel a fire rising in his heart. Especially when he saw the red lotus on the ground with disheveled clothes and a pale face, he was even more furious.
When my father was there, these people were still polite and polite in front of them. But who would have thought that the Chen family had just had an accident, and these people would fall into the well one after another, revealing their true nature.
People are warm and cold, nothing is better than that!
Chen Shaojun glanced at everyone fiercely, and quickly walked over and picked up the red lotus on the ground.
"Young Master, you're finally here!"
Seeing Chen Shaojun, Honglian's eyes suddenly turned red, and she rushed over and hugged Chen Shaojun, as if she had found the backbone:
"These ungrateful things, if the young master comes a little later, I'm afraid the entire Chen family will be emptied by them!"
After saying this, Honglian's tears of grievance came out.
"Red Lotus, don't worry, with me, I want to see which of them dares to make a mistake!"
Chen Shaojun turned his head, looked at the people in front of him, and laughed angrily.
In the courtyard, everyone had never seen Chen Shaojun like this, and they were swept away by his gaze, and they were all frightened, and they became more and more weak. Everyone was originally not afraid of Chen Shaojun, in the Chen family, Chen Shaojun has always been gentle, and he is the most unproductive, and everyone doesn't look down on him at all.
That's why I dared to make such a mistake in the Chen family.
But now Chen Shaojun seems to have changed into a different person, his momentum is fierce and terrifying, which reminds people of Chen Zongxi, the old master who has always been strict, and everyone can't help but be stunned for a while, and they can't speak.
"Young, young master, it's no wonder that we, the master and the eldest young master have an accident, and it's not a big deal for us to take something as severance pay. Even if this matter is reported to the imperial court, we will be just as reasonable. Do you think so?"
Finally, a voice broke the silence, and the steward led by him, at first he still looked shy, but the more he talked about the back, the stronger his confidence became.
"That's right, what Steward Li said is true!"
With Steward Li taking the lead in stirring up trouble, everyone also became emboldened and echoed it.
"Hmph, since that's the case, let's sue the court!"
Chen Shaojun snorted coldly, took a step forward suddenly, and burst out with a powerful momentum all over his body:
"It's just that my father and eldest brother had an accident, and the Chen family hasn't fallen yet, and you villains have started to steal and steal money one by one, and in front of me, you have begun to steal and sell money. The laws of the imperial court are strict, and Jing Zhaoyin's side has always hated those who are greedy and unbridled and seek glory, I want to see what he will do there!"
"Buzz!"
Hearing this, the crowd, which was still boiling, fell silent in an instant. Everyone looked at Chen Shaojun on the steps, and their faces were extremely pale. Even the leader of Steward Li showed a look of fear on his face.
The laws of the Great Shang Dynasty are strict, and Jing Zhaoyin is a famous cool official in the imperial court, if he is really sued by Chen Shaojun to the imperial court, I am afraid that everyone will not only suffer from flesh and skin, but also prison!
"Young Master, I, we ......"
Steward Li, who was the leader, looked worried, and looked at Chen Shaojun's eyes full of horror.
"Don't get out of here!"
Chen Shaojun flicked his sleeves and scolded sharply.
Hearing this, Steward Li didn't make any moves, but the others hurriedly fled out as if they had been pardoned.
Steward Li was stunned, and hurriedly mixed into the crowd and fled out.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout, like a thunderbolt exploding, and when they heard Chen Shaojun's voice, everyone trembled and quickly stopped.
"Put things down!"
Chen Shaojun said coldly:
"In addition, remember, from today onwards, you will have nothing to do with my Chen family in the future!"
Chen Shaojun's voice was loud.
Suddenly, everyone finally reacted, put down the things in their hands one after another, and rushed to flee out.
"Young master, these people are ungrateful, just let them go like this, it's too cheap for them. β
Looking at the backs of those people leaving, Honglian clenched her fists vigorously, full of unwillingness.
"Forget it. β
Chen Shaojun was silent for a long time, and waited until he couldn't hear the footsteps of those people behind him before he spoke:
"They can be ruthless, but our Chen family can't be unjust. β
"Young Master......"
Honglian originally wanted to stop Chen Shaojun, but when she heard this, she was stunned and speechless.
"Red Lotus, let's go in. β
......
At this time, outside the Chen family's mansion, in a remote corner, a group of servants who had walked out of the Chen mansion gathered together, and after looking around, they did not return to their respective residences, but turned into another cold alley not far away.
In the alley, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dressed in brocade clothes, with his back to everyone, was silently waiting.
"Did you find it?"
The young man's voice was cold, and he suddenly spoke.
"Young master, we have searched all the up and down of the Chen family, and we have not found the white jade spring and autumn pen you said at all. β
A group of people bowed their heads and looked uneasy, looking very afraid of the boy.
"What?"
Hearing this, the young man in brocade turned his head violently, his expression was hideous, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat:
"A bunch of waste! Chen Zongxi's white jade spring and autumn pen is under your noses every day, can't you find it?"
A group of people trembled, their heads hung lower, but no one dared to refute it.
"Hurry up and get out of here! Chen Shaojun, I really underestimate you, it seems that I still have to take action myself!"
The brocade-clothed young man's eyes were like ice, he glanced in the direction of Chen's mansion, and quickly disappeared after throwing down a few ingots of silver.
......
In the room, there is a square black lacquer applique table, on which is a pocket porcelain cup, and in the porcelain cup, the tea is steaming.
Chen Shaojun sat next to the black lacquer appliquΓ© table, looking at the empty surroundings, and sighed in his heart.
My father is more or less a member of the household department, but who would have thought that a drastic change would not fall to such a point, and there would only be three of their master and servant left in the huge Chen Mansion.
"When I settle the matter of the crown prince, no matter what, I will definitely restore this place to its original state. β
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
After settling Jiang Bo and Honglian, Chen Shaojun quickly returned to his room. When there was no one left and right, Chen Shaojun closed the doors and windows, and the room immediately became quiet.
"I have to find a way to improve my martial arts!"
Chen Shaojun sat cross-legged on the floor of the room, his mind going up and down. The servant's matter is just a small twist and turn, for Chen Shaojun, the top priority is to improve his martial arts as soon as possible and rescue his father and eldest brother.
"If a refiner wants to control a magic weapon, it's much easier than a martial artist. But no matter how easy it is, you have to train qi in your body. β
As a true disciple of the Beidou Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm, Chen Shaojun knew a vast number of exercises. In the midst of lightning, countless exercises flew through his mind, and soon, Chen Shaojun locked in a Qi practice method from thousands of exercises.
"White Sun!"
Among all the foundation-building exercises, this is recognized as the first miracle of foundation-building. Ordinary people practice, if the talent is high, fifty days is enough, and the powerful foundation building exercises in the immortal realm generally take about ten days.
But this white sun only takes three days to enable mortals to complete the process of building a foundation.
No one knows where this exercise came from. Chen Shaojun got it from a person who begged him to refine the weapon, and the entire article was only a few hundred words, and it was recorded on a fragment of a medieval page. Chen Shaojun originally didn't want it, but he saw the other party's bitter pleading at that time, and this exercise was really mysterious, so he reluctantly agreed.
After all, Chen Shaojun was already an immortal at that time, and he didn't need to build a foundation at all. This kind of exercise is chicken ribs for him.
Chen Shaojun didn't expect that the most inconspicuous foundation building exercise would actually play a role at this time.
"What a mistake!"
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
