Chapter 210: Lao Tzu's son
There is no need to look back, Chen Yuan also knows who is coming. The richest man in the village and the only [***], Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng's father, the village chief of Chenjia Village, most of the land in the entire village belongs to their family, and all the people in the village owe money to their family, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in Chenjia Village.
The reason why Chen Shimei's land can still remain in his own hands is because Chen Shimei's father and son are both Xiucai's identities, after all, the county government is also registered, and whoever has a red and white wedding in the village will also ask them to write a few words, and they are not ordinary people compared to other villagers.
The second is because Chen Sheng and Chen Shimei are friends, best friends. Chen Shimei's travel expenses to Beijing to catch the exam were lent to him by Chen Sheng.
Now people are collecting the bills.
When Chen Yuan turned his head, Chen Sheng walked towards him with a smile on his face: "Why don't you say a word to me when you come back?" Aren't you really worried that I'm going to ask you for a debt? ”
Chen Yuan smiled and walked up quickly: "I just arrived home, I wanted to see you later, how did you know that I was coming?" ”
When the two of them came together, Chen Sheng quickly punched Chen Yuan on the shoulder, in Chen Shimei's memory, this was a special way for them to greet each other: "I know where a fly flew into Chenjia Village, let alone a few big living people!" By the way, I heard that you came back in a carriage and made a fortune, right? ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "I made some money, although it's not much, but you don't have to worry about me defaulting on the debt." ”
Chen Sheng smiled: "There is also interest, don't forget!" ”
After finishing speaking, his eyes saw the Linghua, which could attract the attention of Taishi Pang when placed in Luoyang, and when he came to this poor country, he was simply a fairy in Chen Sheng's eyes.
Chen Yuan saw Chen Sheng staring at Linghua intently, even if it was a brother, he was a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he had not practiced to the point where Liu Bei regarded women as clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Is it beautiful?" ”
Chen Sheng's mouth was about to drool: "Beautiful." ”
"That's your sister-in-law!"
"Oh, oh, sister-in-law, it's rude." The look of disappointment in Chen Sheng's eyes was overflowing, and he hoped in his heart that this woman was just a servant girl brought back by Chen Yuan, so that he could let her come to his side in a way that could be regarded as saving her from the sea of suffering.
Of course, his disappointed look did not hide from Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan didn't care very much, as a man who traveled through the twenty-first century, Chen Yuan thought that it was a very face-saving thing for his women to be appreciated. Of course, you can only appreciate it.
Chen Shimei's father greeted warmly: "Eldest son, sit at home." ”
Then he pointed at Chen Yuan: "Don't greet people yet!" You haven't been here for a few years, thanks to Gongzi's care, every year when the farm is busy, people come to help, much better than you! ”
Chen Sheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't disturb your family reunion, I'll come to you again after dinner, there are still two rents to collect." ”
Chen Yuan grabbed him: "Since you're here, where can I let you go?" I've already asked people to go to the market town to buy vegetables, and I brought good wine from Bianjing, so let's have a drink. ”
Qin Xianglian and Chen Shimei's mother also politely retained, and it can be seen from their attitudes that this Chen Sheng has really taken care of them a lot in the past two years.
It's hard to find such a friend, so whether it's out of Chen Shimei's gratitude or not, Chen Yuan really wants to make this friend. Chen Sheng was obviously a little hesitant: "I still have to collect rent!" ”
Chen Yuan dragged him up and walked into the house: "What kind of rent to collect, just go back and collect it from me." ”
Chen Sheng was stunned: "You really made money?" ”
After eating wine from afternoon to evening, Chen Yuan told the people in the house about his experience after leaving home, including the hardships of Chen Shimei going to Beijing to take the exam at the beginning, and the dangers after Chen Yuan possessed him.
Of course, he didn't say that there was a different person in the middle, but cleverly said that he was only forced to sell wine to earn a little living expenses, and everything that followed was completely unexpected, causing him to offend the Taishi and have to go on another path to live.
There is only one purpose in saying this, that is, so that the old man can forgive him for his big rebellion of doing business without taking a reputation for it.
He had to get the approval of Chen Shimei's family as soon as possible, and then take them to Bianjing. Bring them to the talent, but Chen Shimei's concern, and bring them to unravel Chen Yuan's demons.
Time must be as fast as possible, because Chen Yuan is still thinking about the affairs of Bianjing, how is his business doing? Have you chosen the address of the lodge? How sensational is the call for names? Is that money safe or not? Did the Jurchens make trouble? These questions are all things he can't let go, of course, if it's just these, it won't make him anxious, after all, all the above questions are for making money, and in the final analysis, they are for things outside his body.
But how is Hu Jing doing now? The answer to this question is what Chen Yuan wants to know very much. The appearance of this woman seems to be a mistake for me, or a deliberate arrangement of fate for me.
Since she came to him, Chen Yuan has hardly stopped for a moment, but he is really concerned about Hu Jing from his heart now, and he can't let go at all.
It wasn't until Chen Yuan said the matter to the Liao Kingdom that Chen Sheng was a little unconvinced.
Their mountain village is located in a remote location, if it weren't for the last time Wu Zhou came to talk about Chen Shimei's entry into the Taishi Mansion, they would have thought that Chen Yuan was bragging just now. So when he heard Chen Yuan say that he was impressed by Liao Xingzong in Liao, Chen Sheng didn't believe it: "Bragging, you?" You can't brag like that! ”
The old man also looked in disbelief: "Shimei, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
Chen Yuan hurriedly cursed and stretched out his middle finger: "Lie to you, my son!" ”
The old man slapped him: "If you don't lie, I'm my son!" ”
Chen Yuan suddenly realized that he was too involved in the role, and almost forgot his current identity, so he hurriedly accompanied the smile, and under the persuasion of Chen Shimei's mother, the old man did not fight again, and sat back with a curse in his mouth.
Chen Yuan stood up, stripped off his clothes a few times, and revealed a few scars: "If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself, this right cut on the shoulder is made by Pang Xi of Taishi Mansion with a knife!" There is also this mark on the arm, do you see it, it was shot by the Jurchens with arrows! There is also the neck, this scar on the neck is from Yanjing when he escaped, I don't know what was made by something, I didn't notice the pain at the time, and I didn't find it until I turned around, and I would come back if it was a little deeper! ”
The two men believed it, but the eyes of the two women were full of tears for a moment, and Chen's mother hurriedly came over to take a look: "Son, does it still hurt?" ”
Qin Xianglian gently touched the whip mark on Chen Yuan's face with her fingers, although the whip mark was much better, but when Qin Xianglian touched it, she still thought in her heart: "I don't know how this scar came about, it was actually injured on the face, it must be very thrilling to think about." ”
At that moment, his fingers trembled a little: "Xianggong,"
Chen Yuan hurriedly held her hand, and secretly said in his heart that he couldn't let her ask about this scar on her face, although this whip hit her face, it hurt her heart!
He smiled at Qin Xianglian very gently: "It's okay lady, aren't I back now?" Don't worry, I'm going to let you live a good life in the future! I remember that when I went to the county seat, you said that the sedan chair that the county official's wife sat in was comfortable, you can rest assured, when you arrive in Bianjing, I promise to make your life more comfortable than her! Isn't her sedan chair carried by four people? Your father-in-law made you the big one, and eight people carried it! ”
Qin Xianglian was very happy when she heard this, whether it was true or false. Women, just to coax.
But the old man on the side said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense! The eight-lift sedan chair can only be sat by Mrs. Haoming! We and other ordinary people are more polite. ”
Chen's mother slapped the old man hard: "My son will also talk about making his daughter-in-law happy, what are you really doing!" ”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "I'm not just talking about it, don't worry, lady, the current Mrs. Haoming can donate, when I start trading, I will donate it to you, with my current relationship with Lu Xiangguo and Master Pang, this is not a problem!" Also, Dad, would you like to donate one to you? ”
When he turned his head and looked at the old man, his face was already blue!
Chen Yuan was stunned, and suddenly the old man raised his hand and a plate of braised meat flew over on Chen Yuan's face: "I'll let you donate!" ”
Chen Yuan bent down to dodge the sudden blow, and when he wanted to get up, he suddenly felt something hit on his waist, it hurt!
"Oops!" Chen Yuan shouted, and the whole person jumped up.
Everyone hurriedly went up to grab the old man, only to see that he was holding the crutch that Chen Yuan bought for Chen Shimei's mother, and he was going to fight again: "Donate!" I've taught you so many books, and now you're telling me to donate? Don't stop me, let me kill this brute! ”
Although Chen Sheng and Han Qi tried their best to stop them, the old man danced with crutches in his hand and knocked over a table of food, with an invincible posture inside: "I thought that you were only an expedient measure to do business, and when the wind and waves calmed down, I would definitely think about it again!" Who knew that you didn't grow like this, what use did I keep you! ”
Chen Yuan was beaten again, don't say it, this old man was quite ruthless, and it hurt Chen Yuan to beat him. But at this time, I can only compensate: "Dad, Dad, you are angry, I can't say wrong?" I know it's wrong, can't I don't donate it? ”
The old man was still unrelenting, brandishing his crutch and chasing after Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan hurriedly ran to the courtyard: "Han Qi! Chen Sheng! You're stopping my father! ”
Chen Sheng followed on the side, but he didn't dare to rush too close, for fear that the old man's crutch would hit him: "Shimei, you run out to hide first!" You'll come back when your dad is gone! ”
Chen Yuan was about to run out of the gate, but when he saw Brother Chen Dong spread his feet first, he quickly ran to the gate and plugged the door shut, turned around and shouted at Chen Yuan: "Dad! You fight with grandpa, and he always beats me when you're not at home! You avenge me! ”
Chen Yuan was stunned for a while when he listened: "You little rabbit cub!" Who taught you like this? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another stick smashed on Chen Yuan's buttocks: "I taught you Laozi!" ”
Chen Yuan had already arrived at the wall, and in front of him was the gate that had been closed, and there was nowhere to run if he wanted to, so he could only take a few sticks at the moment.
But this old man seems to be more and more addicted to the fight, and his hands are actually heavier than the other, and Chen Yuan is in a hurry, and he doesn't care about his identity, so he grabs the stick with his hand, and says angrily: "Have you beaten enough!" I'm not your son! ”
This sentence made the old man tremble even more: "I, I, I'm not your old man!" ”
As he spoke, he threw away the crutch, took a wooden shovel by the wall, and smashed it down on Chen Yuan's head.
The old man was really angry, and he used a lot of strength this time! And I don't care about the direction anymore.
When Chen Yuan was about to dodge, suddenly a figure pounced and blocked in front of Chen Yuan, and the wooden shovel slapped firmly on the figure's head.
Chen Yuan was stunned, and the old man was also stunned. Standing between them was Qin Xianglian, and the old man hurriedly threw away the wooden shovel and touched Qin Xianglian's head: "Daughter-in-law!" Daughter-in-law! Are you okay? ”
