Chapter 41: The Wronged Boss
Chen Xiong, who was severely lectured by Ling Yun, did not make any moves, on the contrary, that afternoon, Chen Xiong carried the swollen head like a pig's head, and came to Gao Qianxue and others with several boxes of gifts to apologize, and even one box for Ling Yun in the gift. The gifts were not thin, there were 16 gold and silver collars of 50 taels, and 430 catties of brand-new meat and copper coins, which were 100,000 yuan. In addition, there are precious items such as ambergris, pearls, and precious stones. Ling Yun made a preliminary estimate that his box of gifts was at least worth 10,000 yuan. It's a big deal, there are six boxes of such gifts, and the rest of the boxes are like this, and if you calculate it roughly, it's at least 60,000 yuan. If it is all counted as copper coins, it is equivalent to more than 200,000 catties of copper coins, and Ling Yun can be stoned to death countless times directly with these money.
Slightly surprised, Ling Yun saw a trace of smug conceit in Chen Xiong's little eyes under Chen Xiong's pig-headed face, and immediately understood that for Chen Xiong, with his back to Wu Xing Shen's family, 60,000 yuan was a lot for him, but it was really a drizzle for him. Lingyun Lane's sky-high price of tea is only 16 and 81 catties, and people will spend 60,000 yuan to apologize for a ceremony. Atmospheric, luxurious, this guy is here to apologize, obviously to show that he is rich, this is to convince people with money. If it was in his previous life, Ling Yun might have spit in his face and ask him to take away his stinky money. But now, looking at his arrogant and smug expression, Ling Yun smiled slightly, and without waiting for Gao Qianxue to refuse, he jumped out first, clasped his fists and clasped his hands, and said loudly: "Oh, Chen Gongzi is really polite, this gift is so precious, it fully shows the sincerity of Chen Gongzi's apology." If our Gao family refuses, this will inevitably make Chen Gongzi feel cold. In order to show that our Gao family has abandoned the previous small misunderstanding, we can't accept this gift without it. In this way, we are not respectful of gifts. Brother B, tell the brothers to carry things down. I am the master of my own initiative, since it is the sincerity of the Gao family's apology, then everyone will have a share in it today, everyone in the village will be rewarded with 3,000 each! Then let the kitchen buy more wine and meat, and everyone will also have an extra meal. ”
"Thank you for your reward!" Gao Yi replied loudly.
"Thank you for the reward." Many villagers thanked happily in unison. Three thousand dollars is not a small amount, and many little girls and small girls even have a monthly salary of only a few hundred yuan. My uncle rewarded 3,000 at once, which is equivalent to a year-end red envelope reward, how can I be unhappy. For a while, everyone praised my uncle's boldness. But no one said anything to Chen Xiong, who gave out the money, on the contrary, many people looked at Chen Xiong with a feeling of being wronged and stupid and having a lot of money.
The smugness in Chen Xiong's eyes was long gone, and the rest was all anger, looking at Ling Yun's smug appearance, and the appearance of Sister Gao Qianxue who almost couldn't hide her laughter, he was really angry. Originally, he took so much money out just to use the money to let everyone see the Shen family's extravagant atmosphere, and let everyone realize that Ling Yun was just a son-in-law who came to the door compared to him. At the same time, he also wanted to use this to prove his strength to the Gao sisters, and he could casually throw out tens of thousands of yuan, his strength was quite strong. Since the Gao sisters want to make trouble in Jiangnan, how can they lack a gold master like themselves. 60,000 yuan is actually a lot of money, even for Chen Xiong, who is still the top wealthy family in Jiangnan, the Shen family, this money is equivalent to a large part of what he can use.
But he originally thought that this was just a show at best. The Gao Qianxue sisters were also princesses and county lords of a country, and it was impossible for them to be shallow enough to see money. Therefore, the situation he expected should be that he took out real money and smashed the son-in-law in front of everyone, and also showed his strength to the Gao family sisters, and let out a good breath of the evil anger that he had been beaten before. Then, the Gao sisters will definitely not accept such a gift, and then they will pretend to give it back again and again, and at most it will be enough to give a little pearl and gem or something. In this way, it not only slapped back the face of the son-in-law, but also showed his wealth, and he counted it in one fell swoop.
It's just that now Yiqiē didn't go in the predetermined direction, which made him extremely puzzled. This Yi Feng looks quite human, and he doesn't look like he came out of a small family, why is he not ashamed, he is actually like a greedy ghost, and he can't open his eyes when he sees money. Even ignoring the meaning of the Gao sisters, they directly accepted the gift. And what's going on with the sisters of the Gao family, such a big thing made this son-in-law make an assertion, which is too unusual. Also, what's going on with these people from the Gao family, this is their own money, why are they only grateful to that son-in-law.
Outrageous!
When he finally realized that he had been tricked by Yi Feng again, Chen Xiong almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
The money of 60,000 yuan was gone, and it didn't have any effect, but it just made the Gao family treat him as a big wrongdoer.
This, this is really not the effect he wanted in the first place.
The money sent out is like water spilled, no matter how distressed Chen Xiong is, it is impossible to take it back. I had to pretend to say a few words generously, and then reluctantly went back, and my heart kept dripping blood when I left.
Gao Qianxue looked at Chen Xiong's resentful eyes when he left, and couldn't help but shake her head, Chen Xiong and Yi Feng were compared, they really didn't know, and they were shocked. Chen Xiong is the illegitimate son of the former prince of Nan Chen, with the support of the Wu Xing Shen family behind him, and he can also be said to be noble, but in front of Yi Feng, he is nothing, and he has been deflated many times. On the contrary, although Yi Feng is still just an amnesiac person, he is much more upscale than Chen Xionglai, and he usually talks and does things, which can always surprise people. He knows how to heal, he can write poetry, and even make money economically, and even set traps to deal with people. I really don't know what kind of background he came from, he is so demonic.
Walking to Ling Yun's side, Qianxue took his hand and said softly: "Yi Lang, although Chen Xiong is a little stupid, after all, we and the Shen family still have to cooperate with him, some things can be done in moderation, don't go too far." This time you hit him in the face and ruined him again, so that's the end of it. You're out of the rage now, and you've got a windfall, so that's it. ”
Sixty thousand yuan, Qianxue means that except for Lingyun's box, the others should be returned, after all, it is not good if things have been done. Be a man and leave a line, and you will see each other in the future. However, Ling Yun disagreed, it was not that he was greedy for money, but that kid dared to insult Qianxue and the Gao family, then he would have to bear the price.
"Okay, I can't say you, just do what you say. But Chen Xiong's money is not rare to me, you can take all these things back. The slave knows that you are a capable person, and the Gao family will need you to help you a lot in the future. You keep this money, and it's easy to do whatever you need. ”
Ling Yun smiled slightly, this is his private money, a small treasury? Gao Qianxue is still good to herself, she actually gives so much money to make her own private money, you know, ordinary people's uncles don't have this treatment, except for taking some monthly money, basically don't want to get involved in the family finances, this is also a means of controlling the son-in-law. Although Ling Yun can make money, he also likes it when he has such a large amount of cash reserves, and he may use it when he will use it.
In the next few days, Chen Xiong was honestly much quieter, hiding in his yard for several days, as if he was concentrating on recuperating from his injuries.
A few days later, Qianxue told Lingyun that the three families of Gao Chen and Xiao were going to hunt together, which could be regarded as repairing the previous somewhat awkward relationship.
The hunting team was very large, Gao Chen and Xiao's three families each brought fifty guards, and there were dozens of maids and maids accompanying them, and the number of the team exceeded two hundred. The team set off at dawn, and the target was the Liuhe Mountains on which Gaojiazhuang leaned, and such a large team traveled very eye-catching. However, Chen Xiong and Xiao Shiluo both played the banners of Wu Xingshen and Lanling Xiao, although they are not the banners of the main family, but they are amazing just by virtue of the names of the two families, not to mention, Chen Xiong and Xiao Shiluo both have a Governor Rank under the Seventh Grade. Therefore, as soon as the banner was issued, no one from the local government interfered. Locally, such as such a high-ranking children hunting thing is not uncommon, and even many high-ranking children, the imperial court in order to show the envelope, but also give the honor, in order to show grace, although the honors of these high-ranking children say that there is no ministry, but many grades are even above the local county order. As a result, local officials have shunned these people.
After a few days of recuperation, the redness and swelling on Chen Xiong's face had already subsided, but when he saw Ling Yun in front of the village, he still felt a burning pain on his face. He glanced at Ling Yun and turned his head, his gaze full of cruelty. Ling Yun smiled disappreciatively, today's Chen Xiong was wearing a very sassy bag, and he and Xiao Shiluo were each armed with a set of fish scale armor, shining with silver light. Riding a tall horse, he wears a horizontal sword on his waist, a longbow on his right, a long sword on his back, and a lance in his hand, and a quiver and shield hanging next to the saddle. The appearance of being fully armed did not look like he was going hunting, but like he was going to the front line to fight. Ling Yun had to admit that after they dressed like this, their appearance was really good, and they had a few young demeanors.
He looked down at his outfit, there was no armor or a horse lance, he was wearing a small-lapel cardigan made of bearskin tanned in the style of a beard with narrow sleeves, a pair of high-waisted deerskin boots underneath, riding a small jujube red horse, and carrying two hunting bows, two pots of white feather arrows, a skinning knife, and three throwing spears. The Gao Qianxue sisters also went together, accompanied by the four guards of A, B, C, D, and D, their outfits were very good, although there was no fish scale armor and no Mingguang armor, but they were all wearing a full set of leather armor, carrying bows and swords, and the fifty guards of the Gao family were also wearing leather armor, holding spears and bows.
The procession was quickly assembled, and a huge procession of more than 200 people held colorful flags and lined up noisily and lively. Ling Yun was riding on the jujube red horse, and for some reason, his eyelids kept jumping, and there was a bad omen in his heart.
Ps: The weather is getting cooler and I didn't cover the quilt at night, I caught a cold, I slept for a day during the day, and I can only change it today. Everyone should also pay attention to adding clothes, be careful of colds, and ask for tickets by the way!
