Gongsun Cheng still failed to pay off the debt in the end, to put it bluntly, what he owed was a bottomless pit, even if he didn't give the money on hand to Lu Hanjiang, it was estimated that it would be a drop in the bucket.

But something is better than nothing, after all, there are a few people who talk about money clearly, this is a humane society, and it is not necessary to pay off all debts before it is called repayment, and what everyone values more often is an attitude.

Except for some real money to lend money to Gongsun Chengren, the rest of the Jianghu guests who came to make up for their losses were all stimulated by Lu Peng, and their heads came over as soon as they were hot.

This group of people seems to be menacing, but in fact it is the best to deal with, if Gongsun Chengken takes out a little money, or even only needs an attitude of admitting mistakes and dealing with them with a low profile, it is actually easy to send people away.

But it's a pity that doing so will inevitably hurt Gongsun Cheng's reputation that he sees most now, so even if he knows about this practice, he will never want to.

As a result, the contradictions between the two sides are deepening day by day, and there was not much hatred at all, but now he has dragged it out again and again, but it has really aroused everyone's anger.

However, after all, Gongsun Cheng is the young master of the Gongsun family, and even if he is at great fault, this group of people only dares to protest in the wine shop outside.

Therefore, Gongsun Cheng simply became a shrunken turtle, and if he couldn't provoke him, he would hide, and wait until after the crown ceremony.

Gongsun Cheng is not completely without efforts, he has turned to Chi Cangping several times, hoping that the other party will give him a good idea again, but unfortunately, this military teacher, in addition to the first time he met, in the days after that, even talking to him was like gold.

This is also Chi Cangping's careful thinking is making trouble, in his opinion, Gongsun Cheng has not yet reached the end of the mountain, and the icing on the cake is far less precious than sending charcoal in the snow.

So Chi Cangping was waiting, he planned to wait until Gongsun Cheng really couldn't hold on before making a move, but he waited leisurely, and Gongsun Cheng was really unlucky.

Although he is a young master, there are no people around him who can give advice, and it is completely his own efforts and some luck to reach his current height.

Standing in an inconspicuous corner before, Gongsun Cheng couldn't see any problems, but now he is finally standing in front of the stage, his shortcomings seem to have been magnified suddenly, and those who were originally optimistic about him have also hesitated at this moment.

For example, in the turtle tactics this time, Gongsun Cheng blindfolded his eyes, completely ignoring the wind and rain outside, and just blindly evaded, which made people really look down on him.

However, no matter how bad the means are, they also have their unique effects, such as Gongsun Cheng's passive response, which is a good way to kill time, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the day of his crown salute.

There were no lanterns, no big feasts, only a group of serious elders, and the Gongsun people with complicated expressions and silence.

At the guest seat, the only outsiders who came to participate in the crown ceremony by name were the beggar gang and the Yuwen family, and the rest were all members of the Gongsun family, including the Cheng family and the Lin family, which were good friends with Gongsun Cheng, which were all affiliated with the Gongsun family.

Sitting on the seat, Lu Hanjiang and Yu Wenshang greeted each other, the two had nothing to say, the other party had a straight face, and he naturally didn't want to talk to this kind of ice bump.

It was another person who came with Yu Wenshang, and a few people from the beggar gang could talk, Lu Hanjiang glanced at him more, this was the person who gave him a gift that day.

This person's surname is Shen, his name is white, don't look at him as an elegant scholar, in fact, his Shen family started as a dart master, and then set up his own door, and also opened his own dart game, a set of meteor hammer method, is the most famous family in this kind of blade, the most famous family on the rivers and lakes.

Similar to the relationship between the Cheng family's Lin family and the Gongsun family, this Shen family is also one of the families that depend on the Yuwen family to survive.

This Shen Shuangbai is a talent among the younger generation of the Shen family, so he will follow Yu Wenshang's side, on the surface, the two are peers, but in fact, they are more inclined to the role of a guard or a strategist, in other words, a master and servant.

"Eh, really, your meteor hammer, is that kind of meteor hammer? Can you show me?"

Over there, Shang Luo, who was chatting with Shen Shuangbai, was obviously not interested in the twists and turns in the back, and the only thing that could make her eyes shine was the meteor hammer method mentioned in this story, which was handed down by the Shen family

。

"Haha, Sister Lu's swordsmanship is famous in the rivers and lakes, and she is ashamed of herself." Obviously, this Shen Shuangbai misunderstood what Shang Luo meant.

The little girl glanced at him with a little puzzlement, and then continued to ask, "Brother Shen, where did you put your hammer, didn't you bring it with you?"

「...... Well, that weapon is not easy to carry, so I didn't carry it." Shen Shuangbai's smile was a little bigger, the reason why he wanted to dress up as a scholar was that he didn't like others to associate him with the family heirloom hammer method.

Shen Shuangbai is determined to be a dashing and romantic character in the rivers and lakes, and the meteor hammer is really far from his aesthetics, so he never takes that thing out unless necessary.

"What, it's boring."

Shang Luo pursed her lips, the curiosity on her face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even her attitude towards Shen Shuangbai changed sharply, and she didn't even bother to say a perfunctory sentence.

The corners of Shen Shuangbai's eyes twitched slightly, is this girl so real? His gaze couldn't help but look past Shang Luo, looking at Lu Hanjiang in front of him, thinking in his heart if the temperament of this brother and sister was also in the same vein.

Originally, he thought that he could have some common language with each other, but now it seems that he thinks too much, and the personalities of these brothers and sisters are completely incompatible with him.

Shen Shuangbai extinguished his good thoughts, and the guest seat gradually became calm, and now the focus of the audience is on Gongsun Cheng in the middle, after the crown salute, this sixteen teenager is considered an adult.

The process of the crown ceremony was solemn, and Sun Wang, the husband who was responsible for presiding over the ceremony, walked through the whole process meticulously, and when the last step of crowning was completed, the audience was silent, and only Lu Hanjiang was applauding alone.

It is worth mentioning that "clapping" is more often a subconscious act of individuals, and in this era, there is no meaning of clapping together to express collective praise.

Moreover, the more ancient the family, the more serious the crowning etiquette is, for example, when Lu Hanjiang himself was crowned, there was not even a single person who talked a lot throughout the whole process, and their faces were tense like zombies, and only after all the etiquette was over, the guests would toast and congratulate.

In the solemn hall, only one person's applause rang out suddenly, and all the clansmen of the Gongsun family were silent, and such silence hurt Gongsun Cheng's fragile heart even more.

Gongsun Cheng is not a serious young master, and he has not received any systematic education, so he doesn't know how the guests at the crown ceremony should congratulate him, but even if he knows, it is estimated that he will not care about Lu Hanjiang's actions.

After all, his eldest brother Lu is the leader of the beggar gang, and he definitely doesn't understand this aspect of things, so the other party must be sincerely happy, so he will make these rude acts.

Now that he has finally been crowned an adult, but these people of the same clan are so indifferent, it is ridiculous that Gongsun Wang keeps mentioning that he wants him to socialize more with the people in his family, and now it seems that he is probably a hot face and a cold ass.

When the crown, Gongsun Cheng knelt on his knees, and now that the ceremony is over, Gongsun Wang helped him up, according to the rules, at this time, there should be elders or friends to send gifts to congratulate, but unfortunately, the audience is still silent.

Gongsun Cheng only thought that he had been insulted, and stood in place with a pale face without moving, several elders saw it, looked around, and then looked at each other, Gongsun Wang finally sighed helplessly.

Regardless of whether anyone sent the congratulations or not, he would say in the end that this was not because he had made up his mind to bet on Gongsun Cheng, but simply for the face of the Gongsun family.

Finally, in the silent silence, a person stood up, and it turned out to be Lu Peng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in Xia Lu Peng, he is Gongsun Cheng's cousin, and I have sent a congratulatory gift to my cousin today."

When Lu Peng stood up, many people showed gloating expressions, and in the midst of everyone's pointing, Gongsun Cheng's face was also difficult to see, and sure enough, he saw the other party turn around and say loudly outside the hall: "Invite them in!"

When his voice fell, a large number of people from the rivers and lakes came outside the hall, Gongsun Cheng looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly, this group of people was his creditor.
