Chen Mansion is now Chen Qun's era, the housekeeper is Chen Xiang, in the later period of Chen Qun's grandfather Chen Yu, the era of Chen Qun's father Chen Ji, the housekeeper of Chen Mansion is Chen Xiang's father Chen An, it is foreseeable that if nothing else, the next housekeeper of Chen Mansion is Chen Fu.

Chen An, Chen Xiang, and Chen Fu, the three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren, are all domestic slaves of the Chen family, but they are domestic slaves with special status. The three generations of Chen An's ancestors and grandchildren are valued by the Chen family, and there is a story in this. Chen Qun's grandfather, Chen Yu, once served as the chief of Taiqiu, was attacked by bandits on a trip, but fortunately Chen An desperately rescued him, so he was spared. Since then, Chen An has jumped from a small slave to a housekeeper of the Chen Mansion. After that, Chen An's son Chen Xiang served as the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion. Chen Xiang is much younger than Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji, a few years older than Chen Qun, and is Chen Qun's childhood playmate and scholar.

Under such a family background and story, it is destined that the three generations of Chen An's ancestors and grandchildren will be very happy in the Chen family. And now, Chen Qun is the most promising person of the younger generation of the Chen family, and he is a well-deserved chief of the long house, the eldest son of the Chen family, and after Chen Ji's death, he is destined to inherit the position of the head of the Chen family. Chen Xiang, the identity of Chen Qun's childhood friend, naturally rose with the tide and became the unshakable butler of the Chen Mansion.

What is the concept of housekeeping? A person who can be a steward must not only have a high level of ability, be able to control the people in the house, etc., but also be completely loyal to the master. To use a modern analogy, it is roughly equivalent to the secretary or driver of officials, who are close to them. Now everyone knows that if you want to get in touch with an official, it is good to take the line of secretary or driver, and the ancients knew better. Therefore, Chen Xiang's status is not only transcendent in Chenfu, but also in the entire Xuzhou, he is also a well-known No. 1 person.

Chen Qun served as the general of the West Cao Yuan, in charge of Xuzhou personnel appointments and recommendations, and one sentence can decide the fate of many people. Naturally, Chen Xiang's status skyrocketed! The county magistrate of 800 stones, the county magistrate of 600 stones, such a figure is like a grandson in front of him. The Taishou of 2,000 stones, who is called a brother and a brother to Chen Xiang, is closer than a brother. Some people who want to be promoted even serve him as an ancestor.

Whenever there is a holiday, the Chen Mansion is always overcrowded, and I don't know how many people want to see Chen Qun. Chen Xiang, the big housekeeper, has the right to decide at this time, do you want to see my son-in-law? Well, that's up to you how much you can pay!

So, after going back and forth, it was only two or three years of hard work, and Chen Xiang became very rich.

As the saying goes, when a person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, this is about the truth. The door of the prime minister's family is the seven-rank official, so what about this housekeeper? It can't be a three-grade one, right?

With such a father, Chen Fu is destined to be the number one person. In addition, Chen Fu is a young man who is beautiful, can speak, and can please people, so he is naturally very loved by Chen Qun and his father Chen Ji. There is a strange but normal phenomenon in everyone's family, the status of the concubine is very low. This is also to prevent the dispute between the son-in-law and the concubine, and make arrangements as soon as possible. In many families, the son-in-law will be well educated, and the concubine will be miserable. Even some more radical families will only educate their eldest sons, and even their second sons will be abolished.

Take the Chen family as an example, Chen Qun's nine-year-old concubine has a status similar to that of a slave. On the contrary, Chen Fu, the son of housekeeper Chen Xiang, enjoys very high treatment! Chen Qun likes it very much, Chen Ji likes it very much, Chen Qun doesn't have a wife now, only three concubines, which makes Chen's mother, who is looking forward to her grandson, very anxious, coming and going, looking at Chen Fu's cleverness, Chen's mother is stunned to regard Chen Fu as her own grandson, so he has become the number one son of the Chen family now.

Especially since the beginning of last year, the old man Chen Ji is not in good health and can no longer take care of things, he only occasionally participates in some social activities, and the power of the family is completely in the hands of Chen's mother, so Chen Fu's status is even more amazing!

Under normal circumstances, being a son is more arrogant than being a father, just like Li Gang and his son. Chen Xiang and Chen Fu are also like this, Chen Xiang can be regarded as arrogant, then Chen Fu is completely domineering! The son of a housekeeper is just a slave, but in fact, he is more than a grandfather, and in Xiapi City, this kid has been arrogant and domineering for not a day or two. Led by him, a group of gentlemen got together and formed a small group, causing trouble all day long, fighting and brawling, galloping in the city and injuring people's lives, robbing people's daughters, robbing foreign merchants' things, knocking on widows' doors and other disgusting things, these boys have done many disgusting things.

Now, he has been called the No. 1 evil in Xiapi City!

Xiapi made Liu Da unable to see him, and wanted to clean him up several times. But I don't want this kid to be arrogant, but he is not stupid, and he knows that it will not be good if he falls into the hands of Liu Da, so he has already bought some insiders in the soap in Xiapi County. Liu Da's several actions were all slipped by him. Later, Liu Da couldn't help it, found Liu Bei, and wanted to clean up this kid. But Liu Bei pressed this matter again and again, and finally it was over. If Liu Da was according to his previous temper, he couldn't wait to lead someone to break into Chen's mansion and clean up this kid. It's a pity that he can't! Now he is no longer as carefree as before. Fa Zheng and his daughter Liu have already married, and for the sake of Fa Zheng's future, he does not dare to offend Chen Qun too hard.

Tian Fan knows a little about the affairs of the Chen family, but he is not a nosy person, or rather, he doesn't have so much energy to take care of these bad things. In the past, although Chen Fu was messing around, he didn't make trouble with Tian Fan, and he didn't mess with Tian Fan's people, so he didn't care about it. But now it's different, Ma Jun, that's Tian Fan's right-hand man, whoever dares to provoke him will be unlucky, no discussion, let alone Chen Fu, even Chen Qun is no exception!

Mao Taizu said, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people!

Tian Fan agreed with this sentence, but he had too many concerns before, and some things could not be done as he wanted. But now is different from the past, Lao Tzu is a soldier, then he should be a rough man, I plan to cause some trouble, you Chen Fu just hit the muzzle of the gun, you are unlucky!

Ma Jun's house is in the south of Xiapi City, which is a civilian area in Xiapi, with low houses and most of them thatched huts. In today's era when every inch of land is expensive, many houses here have become brick houses, but Ma Jun's house has not changed. Ma Jun's identity as a craftsman is destined to be extremely low-key, in fact, not only him, Pu Yuan, Zhao Shan and others are even more low-key, they have always lived outside the city, and there is no house in the city at all.

Tian Fan's arrival caused a sensation. There are generally no nobles coming to this place, and looking at Tian Fan's line and subordinates, you know that he is not a mortal. After all, twenty guards in full iron armor, four or five doormen, all accompanied by horses, and a wide carriage was not equipped by ordinary people.

The courtyard of the Ma family is not big, just a simple three-entry small courtyard, covering an area of more than one acre. The dilapidated gate, the low gatehouse, and the absence of a stone lion at the door, do not show the grandeur that the two thousand stone masters should have. To Tian Fan's surprise, there were a lot of nicks on the door, which looked like they were caused by sword chopping, and the wood stubble was still very new, probably just made.

Tian Fan just glanced at it and didn't think too much about it. He dismounted, took a breath of hot air into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, and stomped his feet. The sun was warm, but it was a little cold on the horse, and his hands were frozen.

After slowing down, he came to the carriage and lifted the curtain, only to see Siyu packing up the medicine box.

Because she was going to go far away, Siyu wore a mink fur, with a fiery red fire fox skin as the collar and a black mink as the watch, which made her delicate face more beautiful and vivid.

Siyu didn't look back, and Tian Fan was the only one who dared to lift the curtain silently. It wasn't until she finished packing up the medicine box that she turned around and didn't speak, just handed the medicine box to Tian Fan. Tian Fan held the medicine box in one hand and stretched out an arm, Siyu was not polite, holding his arm with one hand and getting out of the car with the other hand. After that, Siyu cleaned up his appearance a little, and the two came to the gate of the mansion side by side. From beginning to end, the two didn't say a word, but they had a pretty tacit understanding.

Zhu Yuan patted on the door and didn't answer for a while. Knocked on the door again, but still no one answered. It wasn't until Tian Fan was about to lose patience and was about to kick the door that there was a sound from inside the door.

An old man opened the door and timidly peeked out through the crack. The old man was very old, his face was wrinkled like the bark of a dead tree, and he was trembling with a crutch, and his body and crutches were trembling, and he looked like he might die at any moment. Due to the angle problem, he couldn't see Tian Fan and Siyu, only Zhu Yuan, who had a sword hanging from his waist, and several doormen from Tianfu behind him. The old man trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "You have found the wrong person!" You've got the wrong person! As he spoke, he closed the door.

Tian Fan hurriedly stepped forward, pushed the door shut, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, it's me, don't you know each other?" ”

The old man looked at Tian Fan carefully a few times, and then confirmed that it was Tian Fan, he trembled his lips excitedly, opened the door, and said in a wailing voice: "General Tian, why did you come?" My master ......" as he spoke, two lines of cloudy tears slowly crawling out of his godless eyes. Tian Fan has been to Ma Jun's house several times, and several servants of Ma Jun's family and this old housekeeper all know him.

Tian Fan's heart tightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Ma, what are you...... How's Deheng doing? Could he ......?"

The old man put away his tears, sighed, and said, "The master's injuries have been treated twice by Miss Qin, and they are nothing, but ...... General Tian, his Chen family deceives people too much! What is the vertical son called Chen Fu, he has come to make trouble every day in the past few days, and the master has vomited blood three times in anger for this matter! As he spoke, the old man burst into tears again.

On the way here, Tian Fan asked Siyu that she had come once on the day of Ma Jun's injury, and then once on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and saw that his injury had stabilized, so she left him medicine, so she never came again. According to her, Ma Jun is recovering well from her injuries.

But at this time, when he heard that Ma Jun's injuries were aggravated and he vomited blood three times, Tian Fan's heart suddenly rose!

He trembled with anger and scolded angrily: "Bastard, deceive people too much!" ”

With a long breath, he adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ma, lead the way, I'll go see Deheng!" ”

The old butler said again and again: "Hey! While agreeing, he opened the door with agility that did not match his age, and welcomed Tian Fan in.

At this time, Tian Fantie's face was blue, and the last sentence was obviously squeezed out of his lungs through gritted teeth, it can be imagined that he was extremely angry!

Tang Feng, Tang Yi, Zhu Yuan and other guards who were following Tian Fan listened to it, and they also exploded their lungs one by one. ps: Thank you for the old turtle in the river dam, thank you!
