Zhang Yurong smiled, ignoring the chagrin of the eldest brother's stunned, and poured herself a cup of hot rice wine.

"Big brother, the rest of this pot is all yours! Shimei, you look at the order while eating, your father's wine glass is empty, you are responsible for pouring the wine, okay? ”

Zhang Yurong was very happy that the atmosphere of the meal was better, if it weren't for the eldest brother who had something to say, she would even have to call Shihao Shirui over to eat together.

But I felt that the eldest brother had something important to say, and the eldest brother's face was very solemn at that time.

Therefore, after each guest room is settled, let the people in each guest room eat in their own warm room, and they are all more comfortable.

Shirui Shihao spent the whole day with himself, and he separated early at night, and the two children had nothing to say, knowing that their uncle was in trouble!

"Yurong, Shimei, I want to talk to you about my heart, and I also want to talk about my future plans.

Our Chen family is so poor that after I was removed from my post now, I am also too poor, so poor that I don't have a penny in hand.

In the past, I didn't have to worry about this, after all, as long as I had an official position, although I didn't have enough money, I could finally make money.

The price of the reputation of honest and honest ministers in these years is poverty.

If you are still an official in the court, no matter how poor you are, you are not poor, after all, if you have an official position, there will be people who look up to you to survive.

Since I left Kyoto, my reputation has been in the eyes of ordinary people, and I am afraid that I will no longer be honest, because your sister-in-law has indeed received congratulatory gifts from many people.

is no longer honest, and I can't be commensurate with a direct minister, after all, Shilian was given to marry the grandson and concubine, although it is now lifted, but the general public has recognized that I am Chen Mingyi and has the heart of a powerful minister.

If you really want to change your course and become a powerful minister, the first thing is that you can't be poor, you can't do anything without money in your hand, you can't even eat a meal, and you can't live in one place.

So, I imagined that when I passed through the next city, if someone thought they had the foresight to invest in me, I might take it.

Once I accept it, I will have no turning back but to go down the road of power.

Collect money, collect beauties, and even the higher you go, the heavier the infamy will be.

Yurong, if you are in a situation like mine, how do you choose? ”

After Chen Mingyi took a sip of the rice wine in front of him, he opened his mouth with a crimson face.

No matter how difficult it is to say anything, he can dare to tell Yurong and Shimei that they can understand their hearts and understand their own suffering.

Zhang Yurong looked at the crimson eldest brother fixedly, only to see that his red eyes were already moist.

Involuntarily stretched out a hand and held the hand that the eldest brother placed on the table.

"Big brother, it doesn't matter if you are a clean and honest minister, a powerful minister or even a courtier, as long as it is what you are willing to do in your heart, I will support you.

Because I know that you have always had a bottom line in your heart, and your bottom line is to protect our Chen Mansion and the people you can shelter.

Big brother, in fact, I also have my own bottom line, and my bottom line is also to protect my relatives and protect the innocent people around me who can be protected.

But the world is about to be chaotic, so when I saw the opportunity, I enthusiastically got acquainted with big people like King Yan, Prince Hou of Weiyuan, and Eighteen Princes.

This seems to be enough for a villain, but people are alive, that's it!

Only shameless people can survive, and shameless people can be the real winners in the end.

And those who win are qualified to write history, and the right and wrong in history are always written by winners!

Big brother, life is in the world, and you will not regret living a wonderful life for yourself!

By the way, I will invest in you first, this is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and when you are developed, you will double it back to me.

In case the eldest brother wants to repay the debt after he is developed, I am not afraid of you, and when the time comes, I will pull more from you and return it to me!

Shimei, remember that your family owes me 20,000 taels of silver from now on! ”

Zhang Yurong really feels sorry for this eldest brother, for the sake of the family at this age, she is still being held by the Yue family, and everyone wants to resist.

Even if the Cao family gave the Chen family a great favor, they could not regard the eldest brother as the private property of the Cao family.

Even if the parents raise the child, the child no longer belongs to the parents when he grows up, not to mention that the eldest brother is not without repaying the Cao family, he repays himself to the Cao family.

It's a pity that the Cao family didn't recognize it, but felt that the repayment was far from enough, maybe in the eyes of the Cao family, the eldest brother couldn't repay their Cao family's kindness in his life!

Sure enough, there is a reason for this sentence.

At this moment, from the position of the eldest brother, she is a modern person, and she actually feels that even if the eldest brother becomes a scumbag in the next moment, she is willing to support a scumbag like the eldest brother.

There is no way, she doesn't have a position of the Virgin, she only defends her relatives and the people she wants to protect, and she is not willing to tolerate those who bully and persecute her.

She's just so not atmospheric!

Shimei pursed her lips and looked at her mother with a smile, then looked at her father with a smile, nodded, and agreed to her mother's words.

Shimei even followed the example of her mother, and encouragedly covered her father's other big hand on the table with her little hand.

He also feels very sorry for his father!

Just now when my father said that he didn't even have a penny, he was distressed to death!

Chen Mingyi was reluctant to pull out his two hands, but just turned his head and let the tears drip down.

He knew that Yurong and Shimei would not look down on him, and would not think that he was cheap and willing to fall.

Yes, he will have a bottom line, and his bottom line is to protect the Chen family and protect the people.

In the past, he didn't want money, didn't care about money, didn't take money, but from today, he will change.

He needs to build up his own power before the world is in turmoil, and he needs money, money, and people.

Yurong was the first to invest 10,000 taels in herself today, then he would give her everything he had!

After five days, Zhang Yurong really saw the change of her eldest brother.

The second person who invested in the eldest brother appeared, who was the eldest brother's former subordinate and the eldest brother's former classmate, and he deliberately chased after the eldest brother.

This person's name is Tan Jiyue, he is more than ten years older than his eldest brother, his temples are white, and he looks energetic.

Tan Jiyue is from a big family in Suzhou, but the richer the children of the family are officials, there is no good position in the hands of the emperor, and many people speculate in their hearts that the emperor hates the rich in his heart.

He is now terrified, he is not only a parent official, but also the head of the family, he is afraid that his family will be remembered by the emperor, before he died, he arranged a crime for his family to completely eradicate their family, and by the way, he accumulated family funds for his grandson.

Therefore, this time he deliberately brought some family assets and gave them to the Chen family with an eldest daughter who had been separated from the weak.

The reason why the thirty-year-old eldest daughter who was deliberately selected was that she could not have any conflict with Chen Mingyi's wife and eldest daughter.
