Chen Kuang was stunned, and then hummed in a low voice.

Gan Tang smiled happily, pulled him to visit the entire Chen Mansion, and told him that his room had always been kept in the mansion, and she would clean it once a month.

This room is located in the east wing, a separate courtyard, and it is obviously the treatment of the eldest son with a very high status.

The room layout of a large family is also to talk about the rules, the east wing room, generally to the eldest son, if the person is prosperous and the room is not enough, it is also the young master in the east wing, the young lady in the west wing.

For example, Wang Xizhi's famous allusion to the fast son-in-law of the east bed is not actually that he is lying on the bed in the east, but on the bed in the east wing.

Otherwise, it is possible that the children of the Wang family, who share the world with the king, live in a chase shop, and have to divide the east bed and the west bed in the room? Obviously unreasonable.

Chen Kuang's younger brothers and sisters all live in the West Wing.

And only the East Wing, which had been vacant for thirteen years, was left to him.

"Crunch—"

Gan Tang took him through the courtyard, pushed the door open, and saw a neat and bright room, and at first glance, someone was always watching and cleaning, so that it could be as clean as new.

Although it may not be all Gan Tang doing it, she is familiar with the road, and she must come over as often as she said.

"Look, my mother sewed it for you."

Gan Tang walked to the side of the bed and picked up a puppet placed on the futon: "When you were a child, you liked to play with these like a girl, and your mother sewed them." ”

"After you left, my mother sewed you a new one every year on your birthday, a total of thirteen, waiting for you to come back and give it to you."

Chen Kuang took it, and the appearance of the puppet was almost the same as the one that had been preserved until the city was broken, but the fabric was changed to splendor, and the filling changed from simple broken cotton wool to spice seeds, which looked too exquisite.

If I say in my heart that I was not touched, it is false.

In his previous life, his relatives died early, and he spent his life settling grievances until he died.

And at this moment, Gan Tang said, "Raise you for another hundred and thirty years", and handed over a brand-new puppet, although it couldn't repay everything, but after all, it made his heart bridge a little.

Chen Kuang squeezed the puppet in his hand, and could feel the rejection of the original body gradually dissolving.

However, how long will it take to be free of trouble, Chen Kuang feels that it still depends on the attitude of the family......

Until then, let him take advantage of that guilt.

Chen Kuang deliberately indulged his emotions, that is, he saw that Chen Rong Gantang was obsessed with the events of the past, and only by letting them be like a thorn in the throat and making up for it, could they try their best to make up for it, in order to ensure the safety of Chu Wenruo and others to the greatest extent.

And the Chen family is quite prestigious now, but it is also convenient for him.

"By the way, what about my brothers and sisters, how have you been all these years?"

Gan Tang carefully carried Chen Kuang out of the wing room and sat down on the stone table and chair in the courtyard.

Chen Kuang put down the dragon gum on his back and asked, "After the separation, what happened that the family was able to make a fortune?" When I came here before, I seemed to hear that my family now has something to do with the Cao Gang? ”

Gan Tang told him: "At that time, I leaned on ...... The four of them lasted until the second month, and then my father sent someone to help them, and they finally survived. ”

Later, Chen Rong went to work at the wharf, and by chance found that his friend who was fishing together was now a small leader in the Cao Gang, and he started a freight business by relying on this connection.

This is out of control, and now there are three commercial banks under his hands, and thousands of acres of fertile land are rented to tenants, and everyone at Dongting Hunan Wharf knows the Chen family.

The connection with the Cao Gang has also become closer.

"Your brother is now in the Cao Gang and has become the president of the South Wharf Branch, and he is very important to help the master."

Gan Tang said: "Your sister has nothing to say, she doesn't love women, she loves to study, and she has a reputation as a talented woman in the Eastern Garden, but she doesn't know when she will be able to get married." ”

Although she said so, she was spoiled by words, boasting more than complaining.

Chen Kuang's younger brother and younger sister are called Chen An and Chen Ning respectively.

Kuang, An, Ning, it can be seen that Chen Rong and Gan Tang's expectations for their three children at the beginning were nothing more than to be peaceful and carefree to live their lives.

But unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and things backfired.

"Oh?"

Chen Kuang stroked the strings, and his heart moved: "I can get the weight of the Cao Gang, so Chen An is now a cultivator?" ”

Gan Tang nodded: "The Chen family can have its current status, mainly because of An'er's ......"

She hesitated, as if she was afraid that Chen Kuang's heart would be unbalanced.

Chen Kuang said with a smile: "Although my mother said that I was sold voluntarily back then, I didn't expect my family to be bad, if he had a chance, it would be too late for me to be happy." ”

Gan Tang hurriedly said: "An'er is indeed a cultivator, and my mother doesn't understand it, but I heard them say that she has opened the eight tricks, and if she is placed in the rivers and lakes, she is also a first-class master." ”

Eight tricks?

Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows.

……

Jishao County is famous for its water transportation, and the water transportation in the county is centered on Dongting Lake.

Therefore, the Cao Gang, who mastered the boatmen and fishermen along the coast of Dongting and the wharf ferry, was a well-known force in Jishao County.

Bigness here doesn't just mean bigness in the eyes of mortals.

Among the cultivators, the Cao Gang is also a behemoth involving many chains of interests, and its gang leader, Fan Hailong, is even at the peak of the cultivation of the Lou Realm, suppressing the ordinary sect of Ji Shao County.

Although the Wind and Rain Building has the Wusheng Pavilion as the backstage, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the Wind and Rain Building basically does not care about mundane affairs, in Jishao County, it is naturally headed by the Cao Gang.

Even if it is a county guard, he has to sell Fan Hailong a little face, not to mention the boatmen and fishermen below.

In their eyes, if they can catch the side of the Cao Gang, they are already incredible characters.

If you can become a high-level member of the Cao Gang, it will be a big man who needs to bow when you meet.

Chen An, the young master of the Chen family at the South Wharf, is such a character.

"Brother Chen, someone from your house came to look for you, saying that they would let you go home now."

A member of the Cao Gang ran to Chen An's side and hurriedly said, "It seems that Master Chen meant." ”

Chen An is seventeen years old, dressed in a blue and black suit, with a slender and powerful body like a tiger and a leopard, and a fierce temperament between his flying eyebrows.

With his hands on his chest and a long sword in his right hand, he counted the cargo of a cargo ship.

Next to him, the owner of the cargo ship kept nodding his head to ensure that there was no problem with his cargo, and said with a sneer:

"Master Chen, I've been shipping this goods back and forth for three years, there is absolutely no problem, this time I paid an extra 30% of the docking fee, and I should give you tea money."

All the ships that pass through Dongting Lake will naturally have to be inspected and ...... by the Cao Gang Exploitation.

How many goods you want to transport, how many goods you can transport, you need to be allowed by the Cao Gang.

And what can be operated is the doorway.

If you want to be lucky, then add money.

Otherwise, if you want to smuggle it privately, without the escort of the Cao Gang, the huge Dongting Lake will be crossed, but don't blame the water bandits on the road, and the people and money will be empty.

Chen An turned his head when he heard this, and narrowed his eyes: "My father? Why did you come to me at this time? ”

The Cao gang member shook his head and said, "I don't know, the person who spread the word is mysterious, but it is indeed a person from the Chen Mansion who I have seen before." ”

He added: "It seems that I brought Miss Chen, who is in a private school, home." ”

Chen An was really surprised at this time: "The little sister also took it back?" What is so important......"

He couldn't help but sink his heart when he thought of the recent turmoil in Dongting Lake, especially the terrifying scene of a sword coming from the west yesterday, and the two members of the Cao Gang who died in the reeds for no reason.

The indoctrination officer has just arrived, and there is already an atmosphere of stormy weather in Jishao County.

At this time, the family suddenly asked him to go back, which naturally made him vigilant.

"Okay, I'll go back first, it's not been peaceful lately, so let the brothers be careful in their actions."

Chen An gave an order, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that he was leaving, the owner of the cargo ship hurriedly said, "Eh, Master Chen, what should I do with this cargo?" You give me a letter! ”

Chen An paused and said lightly: "If I were you, I should take the opportunity to run away now." ”

The owner of the cargo ship was shocked, and hurriedly said: "I gave the money for tea......

"Give it back to you."

Chen An didn't look back, took out a gold ingot between his two fingers, and threw it back violently.

"Whoosh-"

The energy exploded, and the gold ingots suddenly swept through the air, and its momentum was like a rainbow, and in an instant, it smashed a large hole in the cargo ship's cabin.

In the pile of sacks, there were some snow-white colors in the grain that flowed out.

Private salt!

Chen An said to his subordinates: "Privately transport refined salt, let me find out who gave him the guts!" ”

The owner of the cargo ship was like ashes, and he collapsed to the ground.
