"Mao San, has the Xinwang Palace promised to cooperate with our Chen family?" As soon as Chen Maosan returned home, Chen Qingshan grabbed a burst of questions.

Chen Maosan's face shook with fat, and he said helplessly, "No... It's all to blame for the child, not only did I not agree to cooperate with our Chen family, but the title deed you gave me to my father was also given to His Highness." Chen Maosan told Chen Qingshan the ins and outs of the matter, including how he quickly said something threatening Li Zhi for a while.

After hearing this, Chen Qingshan pulled Chen Maosan over, kicked it and scolded: "Rebel, how can you threaten King Xin in person, no matter how he is also a prince... You're a big rebel... Fortunately, you will give the title deed to His Highness in time, otherwise our Chen family will be implicated by you. Chen Qingshan was as irritable as thunder, and he really wanted to kick Chen Maosan away.

Poor Chen Maosan sat on the ground aggrievedly, and then Chen Qingshan calmed down a little and then asked, what did His Highness reveal about the cooperation?

"His Royal Highness said that he first asked Yang Chengxing why he didn't go, and it seemed that it was more likely that he wanted to cooperate with the Yang family, but then he said that the four of us should go and negotiate together..."

Chen Qingshan frowned and twisted his beard, and said, "It seems that our Royal Highness the King of Faith is asking for a lot of money..."

"Father, what do you mean by asking for a lot of money?" Chen Maosan sat on the ground and asked puzzled.

"That is to say, the ambition is not small!" Chen Qingshan looked like he hated iron but not steel.

Chen Maosan suddenly realized, "Father, are you saying that His Highness wants to rebel?" After speaking, Chen Maosan still looked complacent, as if he was praising me.

Chen Qingshan was furious, this stupid son was really unscrupulous, and kicked the unlucky child down again, scolding: "Rebel, Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”

This kind of crime, framing a prince at will, without any evidence, is undoubtedly asking for his own death, this stupid son, why didn't he see it on weekdays, Chen Qingshan was so shocked that he was sweating profusely, and turned his head to look around.

Chen Maosan felt even more innocent, and in his knowledge, he felt that the word ambition was synonymous with rebellion. At this time, I secretly regretted in my heart, I knew that I would read more books on weekdays... I'm always kicked... The more I thought about it, the more sad I became.

"In the past, King Xin was dim and didn't know how to run the fiefdom, which is a good thing for us, but now King Xin seems to have changed as a person, first set up a casting bureau, and then innovated a new steelmaking method, and now this glass bottle is said to be crystal clear like a god, I think not only our Chen family can see the huge wealth in this, but the other three families dare not act rashly to let you test, but I don't know what this King Xin thinks."

After a pause, Chen Qingshan said: "Early tomorrow morning, you must bring gifts to visit the Yang family, and also show the closeness of our Chen family and the Yang family. ”

Chen Maosan nodded, remembering something, he said: "By the way, father, everything that the child is in the Xinwang Mansion today, including what His Highness said to me, do you need to tell the other three families?" ”

"No need, about His Royal Highness's favor of the Yang family, you must not reveal half a sentence, even if it is to the Yang family, you can't say half a word, as for His Royal Highness letting the four of us go to negotiate together, you must inform the three of them according to His Royal Highness's requirements, in fact, King Xin's careful thinking is clear to his father, and he can't make any waves, but King Xin seems to have become more unusual, so you still have to envelop him on weekdays." Chen Qingshan looked like he was strategizing.

Following...

The Yang family's mansion

"It's a long time since I've lost my welcome, Third Brother Mao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Yang Chengxing smiled politely.

"Haha, Brother Chengxing, you also know, a few days ago, I went to the south with my family's caravan to run errands, and I only returned for a few days, and today we are not drunk and will not return.." Chen Maosan's face trembled, and his complexion did not change Haha.

The two are well-known friends in Anxi City, they have been through the window together, they have opened their crotch together, they have drunk together, they have prostituted together, and they even often run to the widow's door late at night and knock on the door, and then run away after knocking, it can be said that the relationship between the two is very iron, but because there is always a conflict between the two businesses, in addition to the personal relationship, there are no fewer conflicts in business matters, so there are fewer and fewer contacts over time.

"Third Brother Mao, it's rare to come to the house for a gathering today, I have ordered someone to prepare a meal, and if you don't get drunk at night, you won't return..."

Chen Mao smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Chengxing, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

After the politeness, both of them took their seats, and Yang Chengxing asked: "Third Brother Mao, please say it directly, I believe that there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, as long as the Third Brother Mao proposes it, the younger brother will definitely do his best to do it." ”

"Brother Chengxing, what you said is right, we should move around more between the two of us, can't we come to your house if it's okay?" Chen Maosan pretended to be displeased.

"Haha, where is it, where is it..."

"Another day, when I go to the house, I will definitely prepare a banquet, Qinghong really wants to be Brother Chengxing." Chen Maosan whispered, a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.

Yang Chenxing showed a smile that all men understood, and the two smiled at each other.

In ancient times, the family banquet between the wealthy families was a very chaotic occasion, how chaotic it was, in fact, it was basically the same as the Qinglou.

Meals were merely a façade, and the wealthy families sent their handmaidens or beautiful women purchased from slave traders to entertain their guests and masters.

As for what kind of entertainment it is, I won't describe it in detail.

Chen Maosan don't look at his fat body, but he likes this bite very much, when Yang Chengxing was fooling around with him in the past, this kind of thing often happened, the boss of the Su family, the third child of the He family, and Li Zhi, the king of letters before the crossing, several people can be said to be famous "wicked people" in Anxi City, and even the people use the names of a few people to stop crying to children.

The green and red in Chen Mao's mouth is a good friend of Yang Chengxing in the banquet between the wealthy families.

As the saying goes, eating people with short mouths and taking people with soft hands, in fact, every banquet between wealthy families is a transaction, or a negotiation table in the shopping mall.

"This ......" As a man, it is not normal to be unmoved, but Yang Chenxing is not stupid, this Chen Maosan has not been in touch for a long time, and when he suddenly came to the door, he threw sugar-coated cannonballs at himself, and he was courteous for nothing, either a traitor or a thief, Yang Chenxing was vigilant in his heart. He is not stupid now, Chen Mao's third father, Chen Qingshan, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Seeing Yang Chenxing's hesitation, Chen Maosan said with an expression that all men understand, "Isn't it that Brother Chengxing has a new friend, so he forgot about my family?" ”

Yang Chenxing waved his hand, "Third Brother Mao, don't joke anymore, let's get back to business, in fact, I still have some guesses about the meaning of your visit today, it should be related to the results of our discussions yesterday to let you go to the palace to test His Highness.."
