After listening to the kind persuasion of his neighbor Qiao Songgongzi, Chen Yingliang still chose to act generously, went out of the courtyard to greet him according to etiquette, and also took the opportunity to witness the huge pomp and circumstance of the powerful people in this era.

The pomp of Lao Chai's house is very large, twelve neatly dressed family members lined up in two columns, walked forward to open the road, all waist and horizontal knives and footsteps are neat, head high and no one in the eyes, a noble son in white clothes and white robes rode a tall white horse and walked in the middle of the family, four colorful maids surrounded left and right, followed on foot, followed by more than a dozen tall families who followed in the same line, the team could not see the end clearly from the beginning, the width almost blocked the narrow street, the mighty and overwhelming.

Chen Laosan had already knelt down, Chen Yingliang didn't move, and pulled up Chen Laosan, although Chen Yingliang didn't know much about ancient etiquette, but he also knew that there was no need to kneel down to greet his peers in ancient times, and this Chai Gongzi in front of him was Chen Yingliang's honorary future brother-in-law, Chen Yingliang was naturally reluctant to kneel to him.

The white-clothed noble son reined in the horse's head in front of Chen's house, and glanced at Chen Yingliang fixedly, Chen Yingliang also raised his head to look at him without fear, and found that this white-clothed noble son was about twenty years old, very handsome, with fair skin and picturesque eyebrows, two sword eyebrows into the sideburns, handsome with a vigorous and heroic spirit, looking at the posture of the iron must be the arrogant family in the mouth of the Chai Dagongzi.

At the same time that Chen Yingliang looked at the eldest prince of Chai, of course, the eldest prince of Chai was also looking at Chen Yingliang, and found that Chen Yingliang's appearance was better than he imagined, and he was still eye-catching with his immature little face, even if he was dressed shabby, he was barely a handsome young man, but Chen Yingliang's calm eyes made the eldest prince of Chai extremely uncomfortable, and in Chen Yingliang's eyes, there was the slightest awe and flattery of ordinary people when they saw Chai, and they were as calm as if they were seeing ordinary people with equal status-this, Chai, who is at a high-spirited age and has extreme contempt for his future brother-in-law in his heart, is naturally difficult to accept.

This was the first meeting between Chen Yingliang and Chai Dagongzi, and the result of this meeting was that both sides looked at each other a little unpleasantly, and failed to leave a good impression in each other's eyes - this is the legendary eight-character discord.

Chai Gongzi silently threw the reins in front of Chen Yingliang and dismounted, after the family pulled away the tall white horse, and then bowed his hand to Chen Yingliang, barely squeezed out a little smile, and asked, "You are Ying Liang's virtuous brother, right?" When we met for the first time, Julu Cheshire Gong was my father, and the Chai and Chen families were once world friends, so you can call me Brother Heichang. ”

"Brother Sichang, junior brother Chen Yingliang, meet my brother." Chen Yingliang clenched his fists and arched his hands, imitating the ancients to bow to Chai Gongzi, and whispered in his heart, "Chai Sichang? Haven't heard of it, small characters. ”

"You don't kneel and kowtow, it's so bold." Chai Gongzi felt uncomfortable with Chen Yingliang in his heart, and reluctantly suppressed his unhappy thoughts, and said: "Brother Yingliang, Brother Fool is here to visit you today, and there are still some things I want to discuss with you, this is not the place to talk, can I come into your house and talk about it?" ”

"Absolutely." Chen Yingliang smiled politely, made an invitation gesture out of the way, and said with a smile: "Brother Sichang, please." ”

Chai Gongzi nodded, walked into the dilapidated courtyard of Chen Yingliang's house with his head held high, looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at the crooked adobe houses of Chen Yingliang's house, frowned, and simply stood still in the small courtyard, turned to Chen Yingliang and said: "Brother Yingliang, the foolish brother will enter the palace to run an errand in a while, just say it here." ”

"Please give me advice." In fact, Chen Yingliang, who had already guessed what Chai Gongzi meant, nodded.

"Then the foolish brother is welcome." Chai Gongzi bowed his head slightly, and said directly: "Brother Ying Liang, Brother Fool came to visit you today, there are two purposes, one is to visit you, Brother Fool heard that the day before yesterday, Brother Xian, you couldn't think of hanging the beam and committed suicide for a while, worried about your situation, so I came to visit you today, and also came to visit you for my father to express my condolences." ”

"Thank you brother for your concern, thank you Uncle Chai for your concern, my little brother is fine now." Chen Yingliang returned the salute, and snorted coldly in his heart, "Worried about me? Are you worried about your Chai family's reputation? ”

"Now that Brother Xian has recovered, this is naturally the best." Chai Gongzi said a little pretendedly, and then said: "The second thing is about the third sister and you. ”

Speaking of this, Chai Gongzi raised his hand and patted it twice, and immediately outside the courtyard, a family member came in with a brocade box, knelt down on one knee in front of Chai Gongzi, and held the brocade box high above the top with both hands, Chai Gongzi opened the brocade box with his hand, revealing a box full of silver, and then smiled and said to Chen Yingliang: "Brother Yingliang, do you see it?" One hundred taels of silver. ”

"See." Chen Yingliang nodded.

"It's good to see it." Chai Gongzi nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "As long as the virtuous brother is willing, this silver is yours." ”

Chen Yingliang sneered, understood what Chai Gongzi meant, but didn't bother to speak, so he simply smiled and said nothing.

"Bastard, don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin!" Chai Gongzi was a little angry in his heart, and said: "Brother Ying Liangxian, the foolish brother is here, I think you also know in your heart, one hundred taels of silver, enough for you to eat and drink for half your life and marry a wife, in addition, I will give you another compensation." ”

"Brother, please speak." Chen Yingliang smiled.

"My father-in-law, I am now transporting grain and grass in Huaiyuan for the emperor's second expedition to Goguryeo." Chai Gongzi said: "I can write a letter of recommendation to you, you go to meet my father-in-law, he will give you a position, although the position will not be very high, but it can also guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life." ”

"But I have one more condition, you will never return to this Daxing City." Chai Gongzi added: "You must do this, otherwise, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." ”

"Do you want me to leave Daxing? Never to come back? Chen Yingliang was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously: "Why?" Why can't the younger brother go back to this Daxing City? ”

"For the sake of our Chai family's reputation." Chai Gongzi replied frankly: "Although I asked you to voluntarily withdraw from the marriage, if you continue to stay in Daxing City, there will still be a certain obstacle to the prestige of my Chai family, so you must leave Daxing and don't come back in the future." ”

Chen Yingliang began to get angry, and said that there is such a domineering family in this world? Even if you are disgusted with the poor and love the rich, you will regret your marriage, but you still have to force the person who was divorced to leave the city where you live and never be allowed to come back? Isn't this damn too much of a deception, but doesn't treat me as a human being at all?

"Master Chai, you are gracious." Chen Laosan suddenly cried, knelt down on his knees at Chai Gongzi, and cried: "You can't do this, the marriage between my son-in-law and the third sister of the Chai family was personally made by the old man and the old lady Chai, and they exchanged tokens, you can't be untrustworthy, and you can't force my son-in-law to death again!" ”

Howling and crying, Chen Laosan kowtowed to Chai Gongzi again and again, but unfortunately Chai Gongzi refused to even blink his eyelids, and looked at Chen Laosan, naturally he would not cry and beg Chen Laosan.

Seeing Chai Gongzi's indifferent expression, Chen Yingliang became even more angry, although Chen Yingliang, who bought a kidney machine with public funds as office supplies, did not have a good habit of respecting the old and loving the young, but as a modern person, Chen Yingliang still couldn't accept a white-haired old man kowtowing to him and begging, and he was able to turn a blind eye. In anger, Chen Yingliang gave up his plan to withdraw from the marriage, and while going to support Chen Laosan, who was crying and crying, he sneered and said: "Brother Sichang, have you ever heard of a sentence?" ”

"What?" Chai Gongzi asked suspiciously.

"A very simple word." Chen Yingliang suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "Don't bully the young man to be poor!" ”

After glancing at the arrogant Chai Gongzi, Chen Yingliang sneered and said: "You are rich and powerful now, you can despise me, a poor young man, and you can feel that I am not worthy of your sister, but do you dare to ask yourself, are these glory and wealth earned by your own efforts?!" A crow can turn into a phoenix, and an ugly duckling will also turn into a white swan one day! I'm still young, and I still have time and a chance to get ahead! Today you divorced, don't regret it in the future!! ”

Chai Gongzi's face was suddenly extremely ugly, Chen Yingliang smiled again, and just wanted to open his mouth and take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, but someone next to him applauded and shouted: "Okay!" Famous phrases through the ages! What a don't bully the poor boy! This sentence should be recorded in the annals of history to warn future generations! ”

"What did you say?!" Chai Gongzi, who was full of anger and had nowhere to go, turned his head angrily to find someone who applauded, Chen Yingliang, Chen Laosan and others also turned their heads to follow the sound together, but unexpectedly found that the person who applauded was actually the good neighbor who wore patched pants and gave charcoal to the Chen family, Qiao Song Gongzi who had been standing in the corner of the courtyard.

Compared with Chai Gongzi in brocade clothes, Qiao Song Gongzi in a coarse cloth robe can't be compared in terms of dressing, but he lost to Chai Gongzi in terms of momentum, Chai Gongzi's face was blue and glared at Qiao Song Gongzi, and his fierce eyes were about to kill, but Qiao Song Gongzi was more fearless than Chen Yingliang, and smiled at Chai Gongzi, arched his hand and said: "Don't blame Chai Gongzi, I can't help but applaud when I hear Chen Gongzi's witty words, and I hope to forgive you if you disturb you." ”

"Who are you?" Chai Gongzi asked with an extremely ugly face.

"Chen Gongzi's neighbor." Qiao Song Gongzi pointed in one direction, "In the third house in the past, there was a plane tree in the yard, which was the humble mansion below." ”

"Sure enough, he's a poor bastard." Chai Gongzi snorted coldly in his heart, and his face became even more ugly: "Since you are not from the Chen family, what are you talking about?" Get out of here, don't get in trouble! ”

"Chai Gongzi, don't be so angry." Qiao Song Gongzi was not afraid, and said with a smile: "The current Chen Gongzi is indeed a young man in trouble, but what he said just now is not right, don't bully the young man to be poor, Chai Gongzi often oppresses people with power and spreads it, which is not only bad for Gongzi's reputation, but also not good on Cheshire's face, right?" ”

Chai Gongzi's face turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, glaring at Qiao Song Gongzi, the family brought by Chai Gongzi did not hesitate, and immediately came up to clamp Qiao Song Gongzi left and right, and he could do it at any time, Chen Yingliang was furious, stepped forward and stood side by side with his good neighbor Qiao Song Gongzi, and asked loudly: "Brother Sichang, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you still want to hit your little brother's guests? ”

"I want to beat you!" Chai Gongzi muttered in his heart, first waved his hand to let the family retreat, and then said to Chen Yingliang with an expressionless face: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I only ask you one thing now, do you want to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

"What if I insist on refusing to agree to the marriage?" Chen Yingliang asked with a sneer.

"Then you're dead!" Chai Gongzi was furious.

"Chai Gongzi, if you can't rely on the strong to bully the weak, do you still want to kill people?" Qiao Song Gongzi couldn't get used to Chai Gongzi's attitude, and interjected and sneered: "Chai Gongzi may have the courage to do this, but this Great Sui World is not Chai Gongzi You can cover the sky with one hand, the Huanghuang annals, the public mouth, your own judgment, the emperor will definitely know about this, at that time, see how Gongzi explains to His Majesty the law of the country and the public opinion of the world!" ”

"You're ......!" Chai Gongzi glared at Qiao Song Gongzi again, Qiao Song Gongzi was not afraid, and looked back at Chai Gongzi with a sneer.

Seeing Chai Gongzi's arrogant appearance, Chen Yingliang, who was full of anger, simply said: "Brother Si Chang wants to withdraw from the marriage, okay, if you want me to agree to withdraw from the marriage, I only have one condition, a very simple condition, as long as Brother Si Chang agrees and does it, I will withdraw from the marriage immediately!" And leave Daxing immediately and never come back! ”

As soon as Chen Yingliang said this, Chai Gongzi, whose face was once pale, slowed down, nodded and said: "What conditions do you want, let's say, from the official position of the eighth grade, a thousand taels of silver, is it enough?" ”

"The younger brother doesn't want the official position of Brother Chang, nor does he want Brother Chang's silver." Chen Yingliang shook his head and said with a smile: "Very simple conditions, remember that the most luxurious restaurant in Daxing City is Tianxing Building, almost all the guests in the store are dignitaries, when the world celebrities, the younger brother is brave, I want to invite Brother Sichang to come forward, set up a banquet in Tianxing Building, and invite dozens of hundreds of dignitaries, the more nobles, the better, but it must not be less than the number of hundreds." ”

"What do you want to do?" Chai Gongzi's face changed slightly.

"Announcing the divorce in public." Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "Please make this matter public in public, explain the reason for your divorce, and ask the younger brother to leave Daxing, and then someone will divide Brother Sichang's matter today into nine episodes, and take turns to talk about it every day, the audience should not be less, and then the younger brother will agree to withdraw from the marriage in public and leave this Daxing City forever." What do you think? Brother Sichang, this little brother's conditions are very simple, right? ”

"Piff! You're looking for death! Chai Gongzi was furious, jumped up with an arrow step, and kicked Chen Yingliang in the chest, Chen Yingliang, who knew some fighting skills, instinctively wanted to dodge, but unfortunately the current body was far inferior to the body of the previous criminal police captain, and was kicked in the chest by Chai Gongzi, and immediately fell to the ground.

"Childe!" Chen Laosan shouted, pounced and protected Chen Yingliang with his old body.

"Chai Sichang!" Qiao Song Gongzi was also furious, stopped Chai Gongzi, pointed at Chai Gongzi's nose and shouted: "Do you still have the Great Sui National Law in your eyes?" broke the contract and destroyed the marriage first, almost forced out people's lives, and after beating people, it was simply lawless to the extreme! Don't think that you are the son of the Duke of Cheshire, you can act recklessly, the Great Sui still has national law! There is still justice in the world! ”

"Piff! I've long been displeasing to you! Chai Gongzi caught another punching bag, clenched his fists and yelled at Qiao Song Gongzi, "What are you?" Dare to be so presumptuous in front of my Chai family?! ”

"Brother Sichang, our business is not over yet." Chen Yingliang was afraid that his good neighbor Qiao Song Gongzi would suffer, so he hurriedly struggled to stand up, endured the sharp pain in his chest, and asked with a loud laugh: "Brother Sichang, you already know the conditions proposed by the younger brother, choose to choose, whether to accept the conditions of the younger brother, or let the younger brother marry Miss Chai?" ”

Chai Gongzi's face was blue and black, and he almost wanted to pounce and tear Chen Yingliang on the spot, but Qiao Song Gongzi stood up and stopped in front of Chai Gongzi to prevent Chai Gongzi from hurting people again.

"Brother Sichang, there's no way to choose, right?" Chen Yingliang sneered and said loudly: "Your time is precious, my time is even more precious, don't talk nonsense, you can go!" You don't have to buy me off with money and official positions, I'll divorce your sister now! Accept another marriage, never regret it! ”

"What did you say?" Chai Gongzi's little white face turned into a little black face, and he shouted at Chen Yingliang: "You have a kind of say it again!" ”

"I divorced your sister!" Chen Yingliang said loudly: "Your Chai family doesn't look down on me, and I don't look down on your Chai family's girl, so I'm going to divorce your sister!" The marriage contract between our two families is null and void! ”

"Boy, dare you say this to me." Chai Gongzi's expression was hideous, and he said word by word: "You will not regret it in the future!" ”

"Don't regret it in the future!" Chen Yingliang sneered, endured the sharp pain in his chest and said loudly: "The words are here, within three years, I will definitely make your Chai family regret today's choice!" ”

Chai Gongzi gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Yingliang for a long time, then suddenly turned around and left, shouting: "The surname is Chen, you show me a walk!" ”

"Accompany you to the end!" Chen Yingliang replied loudly.

Hearing Chen Yingliang's words, Chai Gongzi subconsciously stopped and wanted to turn back, but he felt that it would be a loss of identity to continue to fight with Chen Yingliang, and it would also damage his own reputation.

"Brother Yingliang, Brother Fool has really obeyed you." It was also after everyone in the Chai family was gone, that Qiao Song Gongzi turned to Chen Yingliang, gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Mighty can't bend, wealth can't be lewd, being able to do this, there are only a handful of people in the world." ”

"Brother Qiao has won the award, and the little brother is ashamed." Chen Yingliang smiled reluctantly and said, "The little brother didn't want to make things like this, but he deceived people too much. ”

Qiao Song Gongzi nodded, and said with a smile: "But Brother Xian, this Chai Gongzi doesn't seem to be a broad-minded person, you are so against him today, you will have to prevent him from retaliating afterwards in the future." ”

Chen Yingliang also nodded, and he could see that Chai Gongzi was not a sufferer, and if he had a quarrel with him like this, he would definitely not give up, and he had to quickly find a way to deal with the possible revenge that he might follow. After glancing at the extraordinary Qiao Song Gongzi, Chen Yingliang suddenly remembered the important event of hugging Li Yuan's thigh, and hurriedly took the opportunity to ask Qiao Song Gongzi: "Brother, you are older and more knowledgeable than the younger brother, may I ask, does the elder brother know Li Yuan?" ”

"Li Yuan?!" Qiao Song Gongzi was stunned, and just wanted to say that there were many people with this name, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered a person, and blurted out and asked: "Brother Xian asked, but Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo from the previous week?" Li Yuan, who is now the official residence of Wei Shaoqing? ”

Of course, Chen Yingliang didn't know what official position Li Shimin's father was now, but it was enough to hear the word 'Tang', so Chen Yingliang quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's him, Tang Guogong Li Yuan." ”

"Brother Xian asked Tang Guogong what to do?" Qiao Songgongzi's expression was a little strange.

"I want to find out where he lives and where he is now." Chen Yingliang replied.

Qiao Songgongzi's expression became even more strange, and he replied after a while: "Duke Tang is currently in Huaiyuan, supervising the grain and grass for the emperor's second expedition to Goguryeo. ”

"In Huaiyuan, supervise the grain and grass for Emperor Yang of Sui's second expedition?" Chen Yingliang, who heard about Li Yuan's whereabouts, was first overjoyed, and then slammed into surprise: "Why do I seem to have heard this once?" ”

"Chai Gongzi also said it just now." Qiao Song Gongzi said expressionlessly: "He said that his father-in-law is preparing grain and grass for the emperor's personal expedition to Goguryeo in Huaiyuan, and wants to recommend you to seek a position under the command of Tang Guogong, but you refused. ”

"What?" Chen Yingliang's surprise was not trivial, pointing in the direction where Chai Gongzi left and exclaiming: "That Chai Sichang just now is the son-in-law of Tang Gong Li Yuan?" ”

"Si Chang is the cousin of that Chai Gongzi." Qiao Songgongzi's answer completely shattered Chen Yingliang's last hope, "His name is Chai Shao, and he married the third daughter of Tang Guogong last year. ”

In an instant, Chen Yingliang even had the mind to rush out to chase Chai Gongzi.
