In Gao Chen's view, Chen Chu is degenerate.

Chen Chu is also a person who graduated from Hongwen Pavilion, and he can be regarded as a scholar.

In this era, scholars are all responsible for the world, and few scholars are chasing profits.

Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are at the end.

The high mobility of merchants is also considered to be the biggest factor in the social instability of the country.

But Chen Chu didn't do a good horse, he had to be a businessman.

In order to pursue profits, the people in Chang'an City are short of meat.

This kind of behavior is shameless.

Although Gao Chen was just a eunuch, he didn't dare to get too close to Chen Chu.

He was worried that one day when Chen Chu was beaten to death, he would be implicated.

So, he ran away in a hurry.

Chen Chu walked to the warm and peaceful room, dusted off the snowflakes on his body, and asked, "Fourth brother, tell me, am I terrible?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin spit out a bone, snorted, and asked, "Is it Gao Chen's insult to you?" ”

Chen Chu waved his hand: "It's not humiliating, it's just that I kindly invited him into the house to eat meat, but he ran away......"

Cheng Yanjin's face sank: "Hmph, give a shameless thing...... Fifth brother, don't worry, I'll clean him up for you. ”

This small episode did not affect the appetite of the two.

Not long after, the sound of Cheng Biting Jin laughing sounded in the room again.

Chen Chu took a sip of wine and said: "Originally, I planned to hold on for a few more days, and when the time comes, I will definitely make a lot of money by selling the meat in our hands, but now it seems that my father can't wait, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't wait, and the big families in Chang'an City are even more anxious about meat, it seems that we will have to start selling it tomorrow......"

Cheng Biting Jin, who has always been impulsive and not afraid of heaven and earth, looked solemn at this time, and said: "Fifth brother, in other words, Your Majesty is for your good, you are a white body, although you have a marriage contract with the eldest princess, but you are not married, you are not a real concubine, and now this matter, you have offended the people of Chang'an City, if you don't sell meat again, I am afraid that you will set up many enemies, in my opinion, it is better to listen to Your Majesty......"

Chen Chu nodded: "It's okay, come, cheers." ”

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning.

In the east and west cities of Chang'an City, all the shops selling meat are open.

The meat that Chen Chu took out and sold was all old meat, or pickled.

The live chickens, sheep and other living creatures in his hands were not taken out.

Chen Chu planned to sell the stale meat and sell the live creatures.

At the beginning, people were still hesitant to buy it, after all, many large families, rich people, are used to eating fresh meat.

But later, when I saw that the old meat was also selling quickly, many people couldn't sit still and joined the rush to buy.

The price of meat is much more expensive than before, but for the rich, they don't care at all.

As for the ordinary people who don't have money, it doesn't matter at all, because, even before, they couldn't afford to eat meat.

……

Temple of Manna.

Li Er looked at everyone happily.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and others gathered together.

Li Er said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I see that your complexion is much better, is it because you have meat to eat these days?" ”

Sure enough, at a glance, Wang Jue, Fang Xuanling and others were all red-faced.

Cheng Yanjin pursed his lips on the side and said, "Your Majesty, I saw Lord Wang come out of Pingkangfang with my own eyes this morning, it seems that I didn't eat less meat last night, no wonder I look so good......"

"Poof!"

"Hahaha......"

The crowd laughed.

Wang Qi blushed, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I, I, I just drank tea, I didn't do anything." ”

Everyone laughed again, but Wang Jue was speechless.

After the joke was over, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although Chen Chu has now taken out the meat for sale, so that everyone can eat meat, many people are complaining, saying that the price of the meat sold by Chen Chu is more than twice the previous market price, this move is unjust, the sage has a saying, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, Chen Chu did this, but it was ill-gotten gains, if Chen Chu was just an ordinary businessman, he just had a marriage contract with the eldest princess, and he was deeply favored by His Majesty, how could such a person be an unrighteous person......"

The words of the eldest grandson Wuji woke up the others at once.

Everyone also expressed their opinions.

The comprehensive meaning is that Chen Chu can't do this.

Some people even suggested that they should take advantage of this matter to suppress Chen Chu.

When Li Er heard this, he nodded: "I know about this matter, I will personally explain to Chen Chu, you Aiqing, although Chen Chu is a little perverse, but he is talented, and he has made a lot of contributions to my Tang Dynasty, originally in the matter of marrying Lizhen, I was already very sorry for him, but now it is a bit too much to suppress him, don't mention this matter again......

When everyone heard this, they all knew that His Majesty Li Er was protecting Chen Chu.

Everyone was envious.

This Chen Chu is really lucky, he can get the heart of the king.

So no one said anything bad about Chen Chu anymore.

The people withdrew from the temple of manna.

Chen Yanjin walked at the back.

When everyone else was far away, he slowly walked to the place of the steps.

Just then, Gao Chen came from below.

Seeing Cheng biting Jin, Gao Chen hurriedly moved out of the way to the right.

Who knows, Cheng Yanjin actually went to the right.

The two of them were on the same page.

Gao Chen hurriedly went to the left, and Cheng Yanjin also went to the left.

Gao Chen went to the right, and Cheng Biting Jin went to the right.

The two confronted each other back and forth on the steps.

Syllable.

Cheng Yanjin was immediately annoyed: "Gao Chen, you are a eunuch, you dare to block Lao Cheng's way?" ”

Gao Chen's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered, "Duke Lu Guo...... I'm me, I'm not, I just want you to go first......"

Datang also does not have the rule of walking on the right, yes, Cheng Yanjin can go wherever he wants.

As he spoke, he hurriedly lowered his head, stood aside, and let Cheng Yanjin go first.

Cheng Biting Jin didn't leave, but roared unhappily: "You see my old Cheng, I don't even go away, do you think of me as a person like a tiger and a leopard and a jackal in your heart?" ”

"No, no, no, Lu Guogong, you misunderstood, I respect you......"

Gao Chen wanted to cry without tears.

Cheng Yanjin patted Gao Chen's face with his hand and said, "Something like a dog, next time, I will take you to the martial arts arena to have a trick......

As he spoke, he walked away.

Gao Chen stood on the steps, looking confused and a little messy.

He sensed something wasn't right.

But I didn't notice anything wrong.

He shook his head, depressedly prepared to enter the Manna Temple, as soon as he raised his foot, he just stepped on the air, and then the whole person was like a mallet, along the stairs, and rolled down, and when he rolled to the bottom, his nose and face were swollen, and he screamed.

The other side.

Cheng Yanjin walked out of the palace gate and said proudly: "Something like a dog, just a eunuch, dare to look down on my fifth brother, next time, I have to break your legs ......"

If you were someone else, you would definitely be afraid of Gao Chen.

Because Gao Chen is Li Er's chamberlain, his status is transcendent.

But Cheng Biting Jin is not afraid!

Even if Gao Chen said bad things about him a thousand times in front of Li Er, Li Er wouldn't believe it, not to mention, this guy didn't have such guts.
