Chapter Twenty-Nine: Grandpa's Indifference
"Oh, aren't you the son of Liu Hao and Chen Min?" Chen Min looked at Liu Ji and asked in a deep voice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Grandpa, my mother is Chen Min, and my name is Liu Ji." Liu Ji said while clasping his hands into fists, Liu Ji had a feeling that there seemed to be no other emotion in his grandfather's voice except for indifference.
But it's normal for Liu Ji to think about it, even his wife was not valued in the Chen family before, not to mention his grandson who suddenly appeared!
Chen Min couldn't help frowning when he saw that Liu Ji was just doing it to himself, but he didn't kneel down and kowtow, and Chen Yan next to him saw his father frowning, and said hurriedly: "Liu Ji, don't hurry up and kowtow to grandpa!" ”
As soon as Chen Yan's words fell, Chen Min said: "Second brother, we have a lot of female dependents in the Chen family's compound, and Liu Ji has a lot of family members, it is inconvenient to live in the Chen family's compound, you place the Liu family's people in the house in the west of the city!" The old man is a little tired today, so go down! ”
Immediately afterwards, Chen Min took a book on the bookcase and looked at it, and no longer bothered with Chen Yan and Liu Ji.
Originally, when Liu Ji heard Chen Yan's words, he was ready to kneel down and kowtow, after all, this was his grandfather, but Chen Min's subsequent words suddenly made Liu Ji stand up straight again with his legs that were bent down, and there was no need to use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts.
Chen Yan looked at his father's appearance, opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, while Liu Ji said respectfully: "Thank you, grandfather, if there is nothing to do, my grandson will retire first!" ”
After walking out of the study, Chen Yan frowned and said: "You kid is too good to come, and you don't know how to kowtow when you see your grandfather, now it's okay, your grandfather will directly drive you to the broken house in the west of the city." ”
Liu Ji said indifferently: "Second uncle, it's good to have a place to stay, besides, I've been used to being casual since I was a child, and if I stay in the Chen family compound and make my grandfather angry, it will be bad." ”
"Alas, that house is not a small place, but it has not been inhabited for a long time, and you have to clean it up, so you can take someone to live there first, and wait for your father to come."
Chen Yan then turned his head and said to the housekeeper just now: "Arrange for someone to clean up the empty house in the west of the city, and then transfer a cook and a few servants, all food and daily necessities need to be prepared, the silver will be transferred directly from my account, and my words will be passed on, this is my nephew Chen Yan, if you dare to trouble my nephew, don't blame me for being mad!" ”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Liu Ji felt a little better in his heart, the taste of sending people under the fence was not good, if it wasn't for waiting for his father and Uncle Tie in Qi County, with Chen Min's attitude just now, Liu Ji would have thrown his hand away a long time ago.
"Second uncle, I'm sorry for you!"
"What do you say! You're my own nephew! ”
Chen Yan personally sent Liu Ji and others to the house in the west of the city, and only left after settling down, Liu Ji was very satisfied with this house, this is a courtyard with three courtyards, the layout and decoration are very elegant, enough for more than a dozen of them to live, even if you add a few people sent by Chen Yan, the residence is also very spacious.
Liu Ji casually asked Chen Yan how much silver this house was worth, Liu Ji wondered if he should buy a house in Qi County, and wait for his father and Uncle Tie to come over, at least he didn't need to feel the taste of being under the fence.
However, as soon as he heard that it was at least 4,000 taels of silver, Liu Ji shut up very interestingly, and now he has more than 400 taels of silver in his pocket.
After Chen Yan returned to the Chen family's compound, he was called to the study by Chen Min again, "Have the children of your fifth sister's family settled down?" ”
"Father, you've settled in that house in the west of the city!"
"Well, don't be short of food and use, no matter what, it's also my grandson Chen Min! Now your eldest brother is busy with the formation of our Chen family's private army, and you have to worry more about things at home and outside. ”
"Yes, Father, I see!"
At this time, Chen Min sighed and said, "You don't know that this time our Chen family needs to send 90 people to Qianzhou to defend the border!" ”
"Huh? Border? Father, what's going on? ”
Immediately, Chen Min said that Qi County had to make up 800 soldiers and horses to be sent to the border of Qianzhou, and Chen Yan said with a wry smile: "The luck of Wang Jixian is also too bad, and it is a life of death to go to several states close to the grassland in these years." ”
Chen Min nodded and said, "Thanks to the recruitment of more than 400 victims this time, otherwise the private army that our Chen family has just formed will immediately lose almost half of the people." ”
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Father, what if those victims are unwilling to go to the border?" ”
Chen Min snorted coldly and said: "The men among those victims are already considered soldiers of our Chen family's private army, and the military orders are like mountains, if you dare not obey the military orders, you will naturally have military law to deal with them." ”
In the Chen family farm where the victims were settled, Chen Baocai quickly selected 90 people from among the victims, all of whom were in poor health, and when Chen Qi announced that these 90 people would become the glorious Qianzhou border army, some people immediately quit.
No one is stupid these days, the border of Qianzhou is now about to become a hunting ground for the Hu people, what is the difference between going to Qianzhou to be a border army at this time and sending it to death!
The other men and their families who watched the excitement on the side, and some people shouted that the 90 men who were selected were related to many of them, and even the husbands of some women were among the 90 men.
Chen Qi looked at the 90 victims who were in a hurry, showed a sneer, and then gave a look to the 4 guards around him, and then the 4 guards drew their sabers and rushed into the crowd of 90 victims of the disaster, and dragged the 2 men who were the happiest out of the crowd.
Chen Qi roared loudly at this time: "Let me tell you, since you entered this Zhuangzi, you will belong to the soldiers of our Chen family in Qi County, and my Chen family's eldest young master Chen Qi is the captain of Qi County appointed by the Great Jin Dynasty, and whatever I Chen Qi says will be a military order for you from now on!" ”
Chen Qi turned his head to the two men who were dragged out and asked in a deep voice, "Do you dare to disobey my military orders?" ”
"Adult, the little one doesn't want to go to Qianzhou, it's all Hu people!"
"My lord, please don't let me go to Qianzhou, I still have a wife and 2 children, I went to Qianzhou, what should they do!"
Chen Qi was unmoved by the words of the two men, "Let me ask again, do you want to go to Qianzhou to the border?" ”
"My lord, I'm not going, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!"
"My lord, I'm not going either, I'm not going to Qianzhou!"
Chen Qi waved his hand, "Those who don't listen to military orders will be killed!" ”
As soon as Chen Qi's words fell, the heads of the two men were cut off by Chen Qi's guards, and the wife of one of the men in the crowd fainted at that time, and the shouting of the victims disappeared suddenly, and Chen Qi's thunderous means suppressed the victims.
Chen Qi shouted with a fierce face: "Whoever makes trouble again, they will be the end!" ”
After that, 2 more unlucky victims were singled out, replacing 2 men who had their heads cut off, and then 90 men who were going to the border were temporarily detained, ready to be sent to the county seat of Qixian County in a few days, and sent to the border of Qianzhou together with other people selected by the Haoqiang family.
