Chapter 523: Calculation
"Lord Chen?" Wu Baozhang was stunned and said, "Which Lord Chen?" β
The person who came to report the news smiled: "Lord Chen, which other Lord Chen can there be?" Of course, it's Lord Chen Lichen, the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace! He is an old man, but the emperor served the emperor when he was the prince, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he became the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, which is above 10,000 people under one person! Isn't Lord Chen childless? Fortunately, he has a younger brother and gave birth to two daughters, and passed the younger daughter to Lord Chen, who likes it, holding it in his hand for fear of falling, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, and eating and wearing it is not too much compared to the lady of the princely and aristocratic family. I was thinking about finding a wishful husband for the eldest lady of the Chen family. But after all, Lord Chen has served the emperor, and his vision is different, in addition to his family background, he also has to look at his character and talent. Lord Chen simply left the eldest lady of the Chen family at home, and let out a message to recruit a son-in-law for the eldest lady of the Chen family.
"Your cousin is a talent, he happened to be studying in Sanming Academy, and he was accidentally met by Lord Chen, and he appreciated it very much, and he knew that his parents were dead and he was poor, so he moved the idea of recruiting money.
"Your cousin is also a backbone. It is not good to say that it is not good, but after getting married, the second son can follow the surname of Lord Chen and continue the incense of Lord Chen.
"Lord Chen values your cousin even more.
"Set a date, and we will get married at the end of this month.
"I also got your cousin to study in the country.
"I'm going to take the test next year.
"You say, your cousin climbed the big tree of Lord Chen, won't you be able to follow it when the time comes?"
Cheng Yuan. actually went to make a door-to-door son-in-law for a eunuch.
Wu Baozhang almost fainted when he listened.
She knew that Cheng Lu couldn't do it. didn't expect Cheng Lu to be willing to fall.
Wu Baozhang grabbed the teacup and wanted to throw it at the messenger, but he thought that this person was a famous bag to inquire. offended such a person more than worth the loss, took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the tumbling love, smiled and let people take the red to the person who reported the news, politely thanked and thanked, and let the maid lead the person out, and then smashed the teacup on the ground.
The servants in the room were so frightened that they trembled, and Wu Baozhang was so angry that his hands and feet trembled.

Zhou Shaojin was also curiously asking Mama Shang: "Master Chen?" Which Master Chen? β
Mama Shang introduced Chen Li simply and clearly.
Zhou Shaojin didn't know what to say for a long time.
In his previous life, Cheng Lu chose this path when he was desperate. gave a big businessman in Ningbo as a son-in-law. didn't expect that he still took this road in this life, but there was the Cheng family behind him who was aggressive, and the "father-in-law" he chose this time was quite controversial.
"Don't worry, madam." Mama Shang saw that her expression was not worried, and comforted her, "The fourth master has confessed that he can't let him live too easily, so our people have been following him." He tossed and tossed up and down there. Although Lord Chen is the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, the fourth master is not unable to answer, but just saying a word can make him live and let him die. It's just Huo Dongting said. This matter depends on what my wife means, so let me tell her. If Chen Li knew the details of Cheng Lu, he would definitely not recruit him as a son-in-law......"
Zhou Shaojin thought of what Cheng said to her when Cheng Lu came to find her after the Cheng family was raided in her previous life...... She couldn't watch Cheng Lu continue to deceive people.
"Then find someone to remind Master Chen!" Zhou Shaojin felt that since Chen Li could be the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace. There must be a way to deal with people.
Mama Shang smiled and should be.
But after a few days, she was very embarrassed and told her: "I'm afraid this thing won't happen...... Lord Chen's side is said to have known the details of Cheng Zhen for a long time. Knowing that he is a son of the Cheng family in Jinling, he will recruit him as a son-in-law......"
Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.
Mama Shang sighed. explained in a low voice: "Chen Li is not a righteous gentleman. The fact that Cheng Lu was robbed of his fame back then is not a matter at all in his opinion......"
"In that case, let's leave this alone." Zhou Shaojin said, "If something happens to Cheng Zhen at that time, I just hope he won't regret it." Speaking of this, she hurriedly said, "Does the fourth master know about this?" You have to tell him a word. Chen Li is the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, so he is afraid that Cheng Zhen will make irresponsible remarks in front of Chen Li, which will be unfavorable to the fourth master. β
Mama Shang nodded and said, "Huo Dongting has already sent someone to Kaifeng......
Before she finished speaking, a little maid ran in and said, "Mama Shang, Huo Ye is here." β
Zhou Shaojin said: "Is it Huo Dongting?" β
"It's him!" Mama Shang said, "I'll go see what is going on with him, and then come back to Mrs. Shang." β
"Good!"
Zhou Shaojin was waiting for Mama Shang in the house, and after a while, Mama Shang turned back sweating profusely, and said: "Fourth wife, fortunately, you just asked us to reveal the details of Cheng Zhen to Chen Li, the fourth master said that he had something to do recently, and asked Cheng Rong to do a small favor, so Cheng Zhen would 'meet' Chen Li, let us leave him alone in the future, just watch from the side." β
It turned out that this was Cheng Chi's arrangement.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and said, "I, I really didn't do anything bad to him?" β
"No, no." Mama Shang hurriedly said, "The fourth master asked Dongting to run this trip, just because he was afraid that his wife would blame herself." The fourth master said, fortunately, his wife asked Chen Li to warn him, otherwise he would have to bother to explain when he met Cheng Li at Chen Li's place one day. This is just right, if something happens to that Cheng Li, Chen Li can't blame us. β
Zhou Shaojin's hanging heart was put down, and when he wrote the letter, he blamed Cheng Chi: "I didn't say it earlier, it made me worry in vain." β
Cheng Chi wrote back to her to compensate her, saying, "It's not good to say much about this matter, I think he can toss so well, so let him toss it well." You don't care about him in the future, just let him jump as he wants."
Zhou Shaojin has always believed in Cheng Chi, sighed with emotion, and put this matter down.
It's Wu Baozhang, on the day Cheng Cheng got married, she hired a sedan chair to pass in front of Chen Li's house in Fuchengmen, and the guests of Yingmen. The colorful faΓ§ade, the noisy and noisy flattery. and Cheng Lu, who was wearing a groom's dress and hanging a red hydrangea and followed Chen Li to greet the guests at the door in high spirits, made Wu Baozhang almost tear the handkerchief in his hand.
She sneered and ordered the sedan chair to get up: "Go back to Xizhimen." β
The sedan driver is unknown. Carried her back to Xizhimen.
Wu Baozhang took a deep breath and was helped out of the sedan chair by the maid.
In the blue sky and daylight, Cheng Nuo did not greet the guests in the teahouse, but turned over the cabinets in the inner room.
Wu Baozhang looked at him coldly: "What are you doing here?" Those who know say you're looking for something, and those who don't know think you're stealing? β
Cheng Nuo's face turned red, and he muttered: "Someone introduced me to a big merchant from the west, I want to meet someone and come back to change my clothes." β
Wu Baozhang has always been too lazy to care about him, and instructed the maid to help Cheng Nuo find clothes.
Cheng Nuo changed his clothes and trimmed his face in front of the mirror. Only then did he wear a small purse and went out.
The maid looked at Wu Baozhang and stopped talking.
Wu Baozhang didn't notice the maid's eyes at all, and sat on the big kang near the window thinking about Cheng Chen.
She borrowed more than 1,000 taels of silver to Cheng Chen, and Cheng Zhen is now the eunuch's son-in-law, should Cheng Zhen also return this more than 1,000 taels of silver to her?
And then there's the 600-mile expedited.
With the big hat of the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, it is just to stamp the letter written by her, which must be a matter of being caught.
Wu Baozhang pondered at home for several days, thinking that the wedding over there had been completed, and Cheng Lu should also go to Guozijian to study. Only then did he send his personal maid to find Cheng Lu.
After lunch, her personal maid came back with an ugly face, and shouted "Grandma" There was already wetness in her eyes: "That Cheng Lu is too vicious, I will look for it." They even said they didn't know me, and they had people drive me out, not to mention the 1,000 taels of silver......"
Wu Baozhang's mouth opened wide. It took a long time to come back to my senses.
But before she could find the door, Cheng Lu came to the door first. He sneered at her, "I am grateful that you could lend me money in the past. But then again. And if it had not been for the letter you wrote to me and the veil you gave me, you would not have lent me money. Let's not be sloppy. To tell you the truth, I am a concubine, not an heir, I don't have any money in my hand, and I don't have the ability to help you, don't think that you can threaten me if you know my details, Chen Li already knows who I am, and I also know how I was ruined, your set is useless in front of me. On the contrary, it's you, don't always run to me if you have nothing to do, be careful that others are suspicious in their hearts, and think that you and I have something. I am a man, and the prodigal son will not change his money. You are a woman and a child, if this reputation is ruined, there is only one way to die. Don't say I didn't warn you. After speaking, he flicked his shirt, got up and left, "Don't come to me in the future, I will only end up the same as today." β
That look, that demeanor, as if she Wu Baozhang was the dust on his clothes, he could bounce off with a light flick.
Wu Baozhang was so angry that he almost closed his breath, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and curse "bastard" hatefully, and tears fell down his eyes.
It wasn't that she hadn't been despised by anyone, but she had never been so despised by someone who had been favored by her.
If it weren't for her, would he have been able to hold on until now?
Didn't he just rely on that Chen Li?
Didn't you just rely on that Chen Li already knew his details but didn't dislike him?
She came to see if Chen Li really didn't care about Cheng Lu's experience!
Wu Baozhang wiped his tears and instructed his personal maid: "You go and hire a sedan chair, I will go to Fuchengmen to visit that Grandma Chen." β
The maid's face turned pale with fright, and she shouted "Grandma", and Wu Baozhang glanced at her with a cold look. The maid immediately lowered her head and hired a sedan chair for Wu Baozhang.
That Grandma Chen is a very mediocre woman, but her eyes are shining. After knowing Wu Baozhang's intention, she invited Wu Baozhang to drink tea with a smile, and instructed the maid beside her: "Quickly ask the steward to invite my uncle back, saying that his cousin from Jinling has come to see him." β
