Chen Yu's boat has landed at the wharf of the Qiantang River, and he has written to Chen Dafu a few days ago, but his father thinks that Chen Yu will not come back so quickly, so he did not let people meet us in front of the wharf.
Out of the cabin, a cold wind hit, Chen Yu shrunk his neck, and pulled the collar of the brocade mink fur towards his neck.
Feeling the fishy river breeze, the familiar wharf, and the familiar river, Chen Yu felt that he had never enjoyed it before, and it still tasted good at home, and there was a lot less deception in the court!
Walking on the streets of Qiantang County, Chen Yu suddenly remembered the scene of coming to Daming for the first time, smiled knowingly, and the mood of homesickness became more and more intense, and walked towards the Chen Mansion in the northeast corner non-stop.
When Chen Yu entered the gate of Chen's mansion, the little guard at the door was stunned for a while, and then shouted like a ghost: "The young master has come out!" ā
Chen Yu smiled, "I'm not in prison, what do you want me to come out?" ā
The roar of the little servant alarmed everyone in the Chen Mansion, and the housekeeper Chen Dongsheng walked out with a sturdy step, and said with a kind smile after seeing Chen Yu: "Young master, why did you come back early?" Don't you find a small official to notify in advance? The lord is planning to take the whole house down to the dock to greet you in the next two days, saying that you have been promoted, and you must have the style you deserve! ā
Chen Dafu's personality Chen Yu is familiar with it, but a person like my father who loves face, I don't know how much action he can make at that time, "I came back alone and sent the little official." ā
"Ridiculous!" It was still the familiar voice full of energy, although Chen Yu hadn't seen Chen Dafu yet, he had already heard him say, "What is your identity now?" What should I do if something happens when I go out? Not to mention thirty or fifty, isn't it normal for you to bring seventeen or eighteen retinues? ā
I hadn't seen Chen Dafu for almost a year, and Chen Yu immediately knelt down after seeing Chen Dafu. "Dad, the child is not filial, and he hasn't come back to see you for a long time."
"Hurry up, what's going on? You are now a close minister in front of the emperor, how can you kneel at every turn? Chen Dafu put his hands behind his back, but he still enjoyed it.
Take a look. You all look at the neighbors, who is also the prefect of your family, Lao Tzu's son is now a waiter, do you know what a waiter is?
Chen Dafu is very proud, like a big rooster, and he can't wait for everyone in Qiantang County to see his promising son.
Chen Yu was not polite to his father, patted his knees and got up, only then did he notice Huang Wan beside Chen Dafu and take a closer look. This little girl seems to have changed.
Where has changed? Well, the chest is a little bigger, the development is developed, you can pick, tsk......
The little girl hasn't seen Chen Yu for a long time, her smart eyes contain infinite lovesickness, and she can't wait to talk to her son-in-law, but it's just because of so many people. can only be passed on with eyebrows.
After so many years of training outside, Chen Yu has developed the ability to sit in chaos. Seeing the little girl's beautiful appearance, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "To the end, do you miss your son?" ā
Shouldn't you ask your daddy, little bunny? Isn't it supposed to talk to your daddy? Sure enough, it's a man who is useless.
Chen Dafu walked away with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened, and said to Chen Dongsheng: "Get some hot pot at night." Put a little more spicy, and the whole two pots are good flower carving...... Forget it, I'll go to the kitchen with you. ā
Chen Yu was very moved, she likes to eat spicy food, and her father still remembers it so clearly. Just remembering that Chen Dafu was going to cook in person, Chen Yu unconsciously shuddered.
When everyone walked away, Huang Wan said boldly: "I think, I miss my son, my son hasn't come back for a long time." ā
Chen Yu took out a Hetian jade hairpin from his arms, and the emerald green hairpin shook it in his hand and said, "Look at what Gongzi brought you?" ā
"Ah, it's so pretty, is it for me?" Huang Wan clapped her little hands happily and said in a jumping manner.
Although Huang Wan is a lot more dignified in front of people, the agility in her bones has not disappeared, the little girl is very easy to be satisfied, and she has a happy smile on her white and flawless face, which is very good-looking.
"Of course." Chen Yu smiled and brought it to Huang Wan, the behavior of the two was very natural, there was no awkwardness at all, if others saw it, they would not know how much envy.
Because of Chen Yu's arrival, the Chen Mansion got busy, Huang Wan personally fetched a few basins of hot water for Chen Yu, according to what Chen Dafu said, when he returned home, he first had to wash away the year's troubles.
After taking a bath, Chen Dafu personally came to call Chen Yu for dinner, and today Chen Dafu was very happy and called Chen Dongsheng and Huang Wan over.
smiled and said to everyone: "Come, try the old man's craftsmanship." ā
Huang Wan was very sensible and filled Chen Yu with hot Huadiao wine, "The master's craftsmanship is naturally wonderful, for the sake of the son, the master doesn't know how many times he has practiced the craft in private." ā
"Hey, you little girl, why am I for this stinky boy? I'm just trying to satisfy my own mouth. Chen Dafu denied it.
How could Chen Yu not know that his father, he was very grateful, and he was not polite to his father, picked up the green vegetables and scalded them into the pot with chili oil, dipped a little vinegar, and stuffed them into his mouth, and said with a hot breath: "Delicious, delicious." It's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious hot pot. ā
"Look at you, kid, you're such a big official, and you're still so impotent." Chen Dafu said with a smile, "Eat more if it's delicious, let you eat every day!" What's the hurry? Burned the tongue again. ā
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Dafu began to brag, Chen Dafu's wine and Gu Dingchen's fight are the kind of people who drink too much and brag to death.
What is the income of the Chen Mansion this year is very good, and those rich people in Qiantang County are grateful to themselves. What kind of retired squire proposes to himself, and he doesn't hang others or anything like that.
Speaking of the income of the Chen Mansion, Chen Yu asked with great interest: "Those old horsemen in Qiantang County are not making trouble to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce or anything like this, right?" ā
"Quitting the Chamber of Commerce?" Chen Dafu laughed: "Do you know how many businessmen are now squeezing their heads to join the club? The people who give gifts to your dad and me every day can be discharged from the Qiantang River to the West Lake! ā
"That group of old horsemen has paid tens of thousands of taels of pure dividends this year, and each family has shared tens of thousands of taels, who is willing to give it back?" Chen Dafu said: "In order to keep their position in the Chamber of Commerce, those old guys specially prepared a competition the day after tomorrow. ā
"It's really a toss, just a group of kiln sisters, what else do you want to divide, the reward has reached a height of 1,000 taels, do you say it will be tossed? Even if you pack a top brand, it won't be worth the money if you let him spend three or five days on the West Lake. ā
Chen Dafu's words made Huang Wan's little face red, and he left after a while.
Chen Dafu's tongue began to turn against him after a while, and Chen Yu knew that his father was drunk, so he found someone to send him back to the room.
He asked Chen Dongsheng with great interest: "Uncle Dong, what is the situation of the competition that my father just said?" ā
"Oh, have fun, play the popularity of the Chamber of Commerce, and rush to this bonus, do you know that the top prostitutes in Songjiang, Nanzhili, and Huguang have all rushed to Qiantang."
"No wonder as soon as I got off the boat, I felt that there were more beauties in Qiantang County." Chen Yu said to himself.
Chen Dongsheng continued: "In fact, money is only one aspect, it is not enough to attract so many top brands from so far away, mainly because this time the Chamber of Commerce invited many scientific researchers, as well as the old man to go, so there are naturally more people here." ā
"I can understand this move, after all, the woman in the dust can take the opportunity to make a name, but what does it have to do with inviting my father?" Chen Yu asked puzzled.
"Well, it really has nothing to do with the master." Chen Dongsheng said very directly.
When Dad heard this, he probably woke up with anger just after falling asleep.
"Mainly because of you, you are the champion of Hongzhi for 18 years, and you are a scholar from the Wupin Hanlin Academy in the current dynasty, which is different." Chen Dongsheng said: "Although Jiangnan has a lot of people, but it is rare to see a big official like you in a thousand years, this reputation is outside, and how many people don't want to come to the glory?" ā
"Knowing that the organizer can invite you this time, the top brand of the competition will soon spread to Beizhili!" Chen Dongsheng said proudly, "Not only the Qinglou, but all the talented ladies around have come, knowing that you are still unmarried, that scene ...... Gee. ā
Well, it seems that he is still a hot item, but Chen Yu also roughly knows the meaning of that group of old horsemen, and I am afraid that he was cheated by Lao Tzu behind his back in the previous days, and he can't say that he is showing favor to himself.
Such people, you can only use interests to tie them up, Chen Yu dares to believe that if the Chamber of Commerce does not make money today, it is impossible for this group of old horsemen to find thousands of reasons to withdraw from the Chen family's stock association.
"Oh? This is also a business opportunity! Chen Yu touched his chin, looking like a full profiteer.
"What...... Machine? Chen Dongsheng asked puzzled.
"Business opportunity, do you think, if everyone were wearing a brocade robe printed with my Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, that scene would be ......" Chen Yu's eyes turned red.
Chen Dongsheng's eyes lit up, and then he waved his hand, "It's not proper, it's not proper, you are now an official, how can you do business?" Won't you fall into the lower echelons and be gossiped about? ā
That's right, Chen Yu just remembered that now all the business activities of the Chen family are put behind the scenes, although everyone knows that the Chen family is doing it, and it is doing it very big, but the Chen family has not picked it out, everyone has turned a blind eye, but now that you are on the table, it is not good.
"Forget it, it's cheaper for those old horsemen." Chen Yu said regretfully: "You can tell those old guys about such a good idea." ā
Chen Dongsheng is also quite sorry, but compared to fame, this little profit is nothing, those rich people will be grateful for the good of the Chen family, why not?
Thinking of two days later, the top kiln sisters from all over the world competed, and Chen Yu's blood swelled, and he didn't know how to compete? Will it be faster than undressing? (To be continued.) )
