Chapter 494: Undercurrents are surging
Since Li Yi left, the Chang'an aristocratic circle has been comfortable for a long time, and basically returned to normal life, and nothing major happened.
A group of princes and lords go to the court every day, deal with some government affairs, and occasionally go to Pearl Square for recreation, and their lives are quite comfortable.
However, in the evening of this day, suddenly a group of teenagers rode into Chang'an City from the city gate, and then, the Chang'an aristocratic circle, there was another earthquake!
In the mansion of the Duke of China, a fast horse suddenly galloped over, and was about to rush to the mansion without saying a word, but the porter didn't see anyone clearly, so he hurriedly stopped it.
"Who is so bold as to dare to storm the Mansion of the Prince?"
"Get out of here, I'm Chai Zhewei, let me in!"
The person on the horse was Chai Zhewei, and when he saw his anxious face, he shouted loudly and rode into the house. When the porters heard that the person was the eldest young master, they immediately staggered and didn't dare to stop them!
"Little brute, is this where you ride your horse? How dare you rebel? ”
Chai Shao has been very unhappy recently, one is because his position in the court has been somewhat frustrated, and recently I heard that His Majesty intends to crown him as the general of the Right Xiaowei, but there are many people in the court who secretly block it, which makes His Majesty hesitate a little. Moreover, because of the impact of the Jinding Business Alliance, his family's income has been worse day by day, and his monthly income has plummeted.
The only thing that is satisfactory is that his eldest son suddenly changed his temperament, not only became self-motivated, but also entered the military academy, which really made him excited for a long time, and he held his head high when he went out to catch up with his old friends.
Originally, he didn't attach much importance to the Military Academy, but since Li Er personally went to attend the opening ceremony, they changed their views, and the selection of the Military Academy was so cruel this time, which made the status of the students who entered the academy a lot higher. Therefore, now in Chang'an City, whether it is a civilian or a wealthy family, as long as he hears that his son has entered the military academy, he will immediately usher in an envious gaze.
Chai Shao was also stunned for a few days because of this, however, today he was about to go out to catch up with his old friend, and he actually saw his son running around the house on horseback, which made his face dark.
When Chai Zhewei saw his father, he was also shocked, hurriedly reined in his horse, turned over, trotted in front of Chai Shao, and said anxiously: "Dad, don't worry, my son has a great joy here!" ”
Chai Shao was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, and saw that Chai Zhewei didn't seem to be lying, so he suppressed his anger.
"What's the happy event?"
"Dad, there are a lot of people here, let's go to the study!"
Chai Shao glanced at Chai Zhewei expressionlessly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the study.
Seeing this, Chai Zhewei hurriedly lowered his head and followed.
After a while, the two entered the study.
Chai Shao walked behind the desk, took a sip of tea, didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Stinky boy, as soon as you come back, go wild, say, old man see what reason you can find!" ”
Chai Zhewei was slightly embarrassed, but when he thought of that incident, his heart became hot, and he hurriedly took out the paper from his arms and handed it to Chai Shao.
"Dad, look at this!"
Chai Shao took the paper suspiciously, glanced at it casually, and immediately, he was shocked, his eyes almost didn't pop out, and he was even short of breath!
"It's... This... Where did you get it? ”
Chai Shao stood up abruptly, looking at Chai Zhewei eagerly.
Chai Zhewei told Chai Shao about today's events with a little pride.
After listening to this, Chai Shao was stunned for a long time.
After a long time, he looked at Chai Zhewei stiffly and said, "You mean, Li Yi lost this matter to you?" ”
"Yes, Dad, I always thought that Li Yi was so powerful, but now that I look at it, I am just a gentleman, and I don't know what shit luck I took before I thought of some tricks and won the favor of His Majesty, in fact, it is no different from me before. Hmph, such a big benefit, he actually lost the gamble, and from now on, his reputation will stink! ”
Chai Shao listened, but he didn't rejoice, on the contrary, he remembered that day in the Wanchun Palace, Li Yi fought a few of them, and he didn't fall behind at all, and finally trapped them in, judging from his performance that day, Li Yi is definitely a demon, how could such a character lose such an important thing because he was drunk?
Moreover, it did not write who the shares of Shangmeng were sold to and how much they were sold, but it was just a message. How would a drunk person think so clearly? Or was it just an accident?
Chai Shao sat back in his chair, frowning, and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing this, Chai Zhewei was a little puzzled.
"Dad, what's the problem?"
Chai Shao raised his head, looked at his son, who had grown a lot, and did not reprimand him as before, but patiently analyzed the matter to Chai Zhewei.
If this was before, Chai Shao would definitely not have this patience, because Chai Zhewei in the past couldn't understand these things at all.
Chai Zhewei listened to Chai Shao's analysis, and his heart suddenly cooled.
"Dad, you mean, this is Li Yi's plan?"
Chai Shao shook his head.
"I don't know, if this is Li Yi's plan, then what is his purpose? What could make Li Yi willing to give up half of the shares of Shangmeng? This doesn't make sense at all, anyway, Dad can't think of anything more precious than the shares of the business alliance. But if it was an accident, isn't it too easy? It's just like Li Yi deliberately wanted to give it to you, there are still such good things in the world? ”
Chai Zhewei also frowned a little when he heard this.
Indeed, with just a few fights with the landlord, he earned half of the shares of the business alliance, and he himself felt that this matter was a little incredible. Although this half of the shares need to be exchanged for something, it is this opportunity to exchange for a sky-high price.
But to say that everything is Li Yi's strategy, Chai Zhewei doesn't believe it, because Li Yi is too realistic, even when fighting the landlord, he didn't feel that Li Yi was releasing water, because Li Yi Li Yi lost without anything to say, he also won peace of mind, so many people next to him didn't see the flaw, if Li Yi deliberately lost to him, his Li Yi's acting skills and gambling skills are too terrible!
Thinking of this, all the excitement in Chai Zhewei's heart disappeared, and he suddenly felt that for such a piece of paper, he broke off his friendship with Li Yi and others, and it seemed that he had lost a lot!
Chai Shao saw what Chai Zhewei was thinking, and sighed in his heart, although Chai Zhewei has changed his temperament, his wisdom in dealing with people is still too low!
"Hehe, okay, since the matter has happened, we have to find a way to face it!"
"Then, Daddy, do we want this share?"
"Yes! Why not, since it has been delivered to us, how can it not be justified? Go, tell the housekeeper to get ready, let's go out of town early tomorrow morning! ”
"Good!"
