Chapter 254: Choice
He House.
He Xian just went home, and ordered with a calm face, "Go, call the sixth child to my study." ”
The subordinates hurriedly said, "The sixth master has a guest there, and he is talking." ”
"What guest?"
"Uncle Chai."
He Xian frowned, "Then wait for someone to leave and call him over." ”
The subordinates hurriedly rushed over to spread the word, the sixth young master of the He family was not really ranked sixth, but he was born just six catties and six taels, so he was nicknamed Lao Liu, and the subordinates called him the sixth master, in fact, the big name was He Chun.
He Xian was originally a Taoist priest when he was young, and only when he took refuge in Gao Xian in middle age did he marry a wife and have children, but unfortunately the first two children died early. He Xian is superstitious, thinking that this is the ancestor of Taoism blamed him for taking off his Taoist robe and re-entering the red dust, which is to regenerate children in the past, regardless of men and women, all let them dress up as Taoists, in addition to not taboo meat, they also have to meditate and chant every morning and evening. Strange to say, this has made the children in the future grow up peacefully.
It was He Xian who returned home by himself, and often changed into Taoist clothes, recited a few volumes of scriptures, and copied a copy of scriptures. Especially today, he felt quite restless, went back to the room and burned three pillars of incense, and then instructed his subordinates to prepare a vegetarian fast at night, so he recited the scriptures while waiting for his son to come.
After about a pillar of incense, He Chun came.
closed the door, sent off the subordinates, and then stepped forward to greet his father. But He Xian smashed a cup of tea in his hand, He Chun didn't hide, and let the teacup smash on his chest and splash it. Although the old man was angry, he was still very measured. Except for soiling clothes. In essence, it didn't hurt his son in the slightest.
It's just that he should be scolded or scolded, "Do you still dare to call him to come to the house?" Didn't you say before that there was nothing to do? Why is it so big now? Right now, your father is sitting in this seat, I don't know how many people are staring at Lu Dao, do you know what will happen to our family if Lu Dao grabs the handle? ”
He Chun lifted his robe and knelt down, "Dad, how can these children not know?" It's just that Chai Rong came to the door by himself today, do you want to avoid it? I asked him about it too, and he said that he only helped to get people, and he didn't know anything else. Regardless of who is at the instigation of this matter, what matters now is how to calm down. Chai Rong is just a businessman. What good is it for him to offend the princess? ”
He Xian was slightly relieved when he heard this. But Shen Yin said for a while, "Whether this matter has anything to do with him or not, it always reminds me of the awakening." These businessmen still can't make too deep friends, and the matter is settled now. But if you do it again. Who can guarantee that we will not be implicated? You go and tell him. In the future, I don't want his filial piety, let him switch to someone else's door. ”
He Chun hesitated for a moment before he was embarrassed. "Dad, I'm afraid you don't know, my hometown took another 10,000 taels of silver from him."
"What?" He Xian was shocked, "Why did you take so much again?" Didn't they just build the ancestral hall, what are they going to do? ”
He Chun stubbornly calculated to him, "They said that they would build a clan to learn 5,000 taels, and to sacrifice in the public middle school in the next year, and that there were five girls in the clan who became monks, and three of them wanted to marry daughters-in-law......"
"Sooner or later, the poor road will tire them to death!" He Xian was so angry that he couldn't listen to it anymore, and he even forgot his name, "I was annoyed with these people back then, so I would rather leave home." Now it's vulgar, but it's unclear about them again. Needless to say, these things are all due to your grandparents, right? ”
He Chun didn't dare to say anything, but said, "The Chai family looks safe, didn't they also fund the emperor to raise troops before?" There shouldn't be any major problems. Over the years, I don't know how much money I have funded my family, and if I let go all of a sudden, I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”
He Xian closed his eyes and sighed, and only said after a while, "Okay, that's it." But you also have to keep some mind, and think about it later, or reduce the expenses in your hometown. What if—"
He couldn't say anything, but He Chun knew it. I really want to stop, unless my grandparents and grandparents all pass away. But those two old people, in their seventies, are still very healthy, I heard that they can eat more than half a bowl of braised pork at each meal, such a good body, where can they say that they can walk? Even if he knows that Chai Rong is a poisonous snake now, he has to continue to cover it.
After being silent for a while, I heard my father say again, "When you have time, you will also make an appointment with your former gang, the son of the Xianggongsun family, to visit the king of Xia Chu together." Some feelings, you still have to move around more. ”
He Chun heard a little bit of meaning in this, and stopped again, "Dad means-"
He Xian's voice suddenly lowered very low, "The emperor is wise and wise, and he can be the founder of the country, but the king of Shoucheng does not need to be like this, but His Royal Highness the Great Prince Chu is loyal and righteous." ”
He Chun choked slightly, is this going to stand in line? "But Gongsun Hong has never had much friendship with the eldest prince, but he has a better relationship with His Royal Highness King Qi, the third prince." Didn't his father always be optimistic about King Qi before?
He Xian sighed lightly, "Although the king of Qi is good, the city is too deep. If he ascends to the great treasure, he is afraid that it will be even more difficult to serve than the saints. It is even more difficult for us to be courtiers. ”
He Xian understood, for the sake of the family's stability, it was better to choose a gentleman who was generous and benevolent, and his body was too poor to worry too much.
He Chun retreated, leaving He Xian with a sigh.
Although he has a good calculation, he is shrewd and capable, and he is in full bloom, and he may not allow an incompetent monarch to come out. But no matter what, he had to try.
The rise and fall of the family, personal honor and disgrace, when it comes to his point today, no one can make a choice lightly.
It's cold in high places!

After leaving the He Mansion and returning to the door of Ruyiju, Chai Rong saw Nianfu.
After making the dim sum for Mu Shaoqin, Nian Fu thought about it, and decided to come and meet this little Feng brother in person. The disaster was caused by her, although Ouyang Kang cleaned it up for her, but did she just sit at home and wait?
No, since two people have decided to be together, they should face all the wind and rain together, even the storm.
Zhong Shan couldn't resist her first, and secondly, he also had a little selfishness, so he came with her.
The servant asked, "Master, do you want to go around the back door and go in?" ”
Chai Rong thought for a while, "No need, let her in, and say I'll meet you in a while." However, she was the only one allowed to come in. ”
After changing into homely clothes, Chai Rong came to the living room, where Nianfu stood there, obviously with no intention of having a long talk.
Raising his eyebrows and walking in with a smile, Chai Rong asked very lightly, "Why did Sister Zhu come to me today?" ”
Nian Fu looked at him coldly, "Uncle Chai, we don't have to talk in front of the Mingren, and I didn't come to ask about it." I just want to ask you how much my master is worth, or maybe I'll give you a few more pastry recipes. ”
There are some words, you don't need to say it too clearly, Nian Fu Zhilu said, those who used her to make trouble that day, except for Brother Xiaofeng, don't think about it as a third person, but if you come to ask, will there be a result?
She simply didn't ask, she just wanted to draw a line with him and no longer have anything to do with him.
Chai Rong smiled and sat down on his own, "Have you discussed this question with your master, and does he agree?" ”
"Whether he agrees or not, as long as I pay and you release him, what's so difficult about this?"
Chai Rong picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, "It's not difficult, but what if I suddenly don't want to let go?" ”
Nianfu was furious, "Uncle Chai, how do you still want to use me?" I gave you the mooncake recipe, I don't owe you anything, right? Why do you want to do this to me? ”
Chai Rong smiled meaningfully, "Sister Mu, I told you on the first day I entered the capital." There is a price to be paid for asking me to do something, and it will not be a small price. You want to catch that gang of liars to get angry, didn't I do it for you? The people who lied to you are all dead, and I believe that the court will soon give you justice, are you still angry? ”
Nian Fu clenched his fists, trying not to get angry, "Uncle Chai, let me ask again, are you willing to let my master go?" ”
Chai Rong looked at her with a smile, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”
"Let go of my master, and count me as owing you a favor again. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will do my best. But if you don't let go, then our beam will be finished. Although I am afraid of Master and will not come to take revenge, if there is a chance to fall into the well in the future, I will not let it go! ”
Chai Rong thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "I still think that keeping your master may be able to threaten you better in the future." ”
Nianfu didn't say anything, just sneered, turned around and was about to leave.
But Chai Rong was a little uneasy in his heart, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Nian Fu turned his face and looked at him seriously, "Then I'll say a few more words." I've always believed in multiple friends and multiple paths. As for what you think, I can't control it. But do you really feel the need to offend me to the end? Maybe I don't have any skills, and it doesn't matter if I'm offended. But I've been used by you once, you should be worth it, right? Of course, you can also use my master to threaten me a second time, but can you promise that I won't make any stumbling blocks in it? Spoiled your good deeds? If you are using a person, you still have to think about how to prevent him, such a person, can you use it with peace of mind? Uncle Chai, think about it again. ”
After she said this, she turned and left.
But Chai Rong, who was left, touched his chin thoughtfully, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Do you want to accept this girl's favor? However, I am not reconciled. He could see that this girl was a talent. How good would it be if you could be willing to use it for him? Can you find a way to ambush it?
Out of the gate of Ruyiju, Nianfu unexpectedly found that Zhong Shan was standing at the gate of Ruyiju, and he had been in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Zhong Shan came back to his senses, "It's okay...... You're all right, are you? ”
Nianfu shook his head, "Go home." ”
Zhong Shan looked at the garden gate again in disappointment and walked with her.
At this moment, a young man walked out of the door, still followed by the tall and burly man.
