Chapter 445 [To Marry?]
As soon as Chen Daolin heard the word "son-in-law", he was immediately stunned.
His eyes flickered, and he looked away, but he didn't dare to touch the old man's eyes.
After all, other people's daughters went to their own homes to "be guests", although they were not abducted by themselves, but where can this kind of thing be explained?
Now that Chen Daolin saw that this Liszt patriarch was actually waiting for him on the side of the road, his heart suddenly became a little empty.
Seeing that Chen Daolin bowed his head and remained silent, Patriarch Liszt jumped out of the carriage. He is much shorter than Chen Daolin, but standing in front of Chen Daolin, he seems to have his own momentum.
Patriarch Liszt stared at Chen Daolin for a while, the wrinkles on his old face were made up, and a pair of eyes flashed with complicated light, and he didn't know what this old man was thinking.
After a while, Chen Daolin couldn't bear it first, and said with a wry smile: "Old man, let's talk about it for a few years...... Well, I haven't seen each other in months. You're tough, aren't you? I heard you've been invited to the Tulip House in the Northwest......."
Patriarch Liszt rolled his eyelids: "Have you heard? Who did you say? Not my disobedient daughter?"
As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Daolin, his fingertips were almost poking into Chen Daolin's chest, and the old man had a little anger on his face: "Tell me, where did you hide my daughter?
Chen Daolin's face was ugly, and he smiled bitterly: "I said old man, it's okay to say the other way around!"
What are you kidding? Speaking of which, brother is the victim, okay?
When I was in the imperial capital, your daughter dared to say that she was pregnant with my seed when she put a pillow under her clothes, and the whole imperial capital knew about it, and I didn't see your old man jump out to refute it!
Why didn't you think of any "Liszt's face" at that time??
Seeing Chen Daolin's disapproving face, Patriarch Liszt suddenly became angry and shouted: "You went to Mulan City once, why didn't you come to see me! You kidnapped my daughter." Didn't you give a word of explanation?"
Chen Daolin frowned sadly and spread his hands: "Then what do you say you want me to explain?"
Patriarch Liszt squinted his eyes and stared at Chen Daolin for a while, he suddenly said slowly: "Darling Chen, let me ask you, when we were in the cell in the palace, we had a good relationship, right?"
"Yes, yes. Fellow inmates, they can be regarded as friends who share adversity. Chen Daolin nodded.
"When you helped Miss Jill treat her eyes, you took the opportunity to cheat so many strange things and did so many small actions, I helped you hide them together! If I report you at that time, where would you be at ease today!"
“...... You have a point. Chen Daolin nodded. After all, he used the process of treating Jill's eyes. A lot of things were defrauded, and only later did a bomb be made to blow up the cell and attract a lot of attention.
"Also, I helped you a lot when you escaped from prison, not only did I help you deceive the guards, but I also helped you attract their attention...... If you want to say that you can escape, my old man will also contribute a lot!"
The corners of Chen Daolin's eyes twitched. grinning wryly: "You're right...... I said old man, you don't have to go through the old accounts, you just say, what do you want?"
Of course, Chen Daolin knew that this Liszt patriarch was at the helm of a wealthy family, and he was a standard businessman, and when he began to count the many benefits he gave you before, then it was time to make conditions for you.
"I've heard. Your territory in Rova City is very good, business is not small, the news has come to Mulan City, although I am recuperating all day long, but I can actually hear your news, it can be seen that you have done a great job......"
"Uh...... Fair. Mix up and eat. Chen Daolin sighed.
"My daughter, I know best, and what I recognize is that even eight horses can't pull it back. She dared to run away from home at the beginning. Follow you out to sea...... Now, with my old man in Mulan City, she dares to throw my father aside and run out to find you...... Darling Chen, if you are a man, you have to be responsible!"
Chen Daolin immediately took a step back, and his eyes rolled: "What do you mean by responsibility?"
Patriarch Liszt didn't answer directly, but deliberately raised his head to look at the sky, and said lightly: "I heard from my subordinates that two months ago, someone took my daughter's badge and ......walked away with a golden ticket of 100,000 gold coins in the Chamber of Commerce of my Liszt family in Mulan City."
Chen Daolin immediately said: "Hey, old man, I didn't cheat your family's money!"
He said solemnly: "It was Miss Laudel who went to my place, and she was interested in those businesses, and she must invest, so I reluctantly agreed to her." Speaking of which, the money was also invested in the business......"
"Alright, alright. Patriarch Liszt waved his hand, and his tone was a little disdainful: "Although my Liszt family doesn't dare to say that it is a rich armor empire, but this mere ten or two hundred thousand gold coins is still not in the eyes of my old man."
Not to mention the 100,000 gold coins, the badge in my daughter's hand can withdraw hundreds of thousands of gold coins, even if all of them are thrown in, it is nothing. ”
Well, you have money, money, money......
To be rich is to be fucking amazing!
Chen Daolin sighed in his heart: Lao Tzu has to eat, drink and laze for more than 10,000 people all day long. When you come to this old man, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are floating clouds......
"Miss Rodelle and I have a word in advance, her money is invested in the business, even if she has a stake in this business, then our brothers will settle the accounts......"
"Who are you brothers?" the old man glared.
Chen Daolin hurriedly shrunk his neck and changed his words: "Okay, our good friends settle accounts, this is always okay, right?"
"Money? It's just something outside of the body. Patriarch Liszt shook his head and said with a faint smile: "If you want to talk about this money, as well as the shares in those businesses, even if I give it all to you, it is not a ......."
Chen Daolin immediately smiled: "Then how can I be embarrassed......
Patriarch Liszt glared at him fiercely: "It's nothing to give it to you." But you and I are not related...... Even if there is a little friendship, I can't afford to send you hundreds of thousands of gold coins directly, ......right? If it's a dowry for a little girl......"
Chen Daolin already sighed in his heart.
This is considered to be a good thing......
Well, no, that's not the right word.
Chen Daolin gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile: "Old man." You think so highly of me? I remember when you sent someone to hunt me down. ”
"This time and that time. Patriarch Liszt's tone was very calm, and he said lightly: "Now that I look at you, the more I like it, and the more I look at it, the more I like it." It is very fitting for you to be the son-in-law of my Liszt family. ”
Chen Daolin sighed: "Old man, you see that the weather is so good. The sun is shining so brightly, shouldn't we talk about something else? such as the weather, such as the political situation of the empire, the military affairs in the northwest...... Can't you put aside any children's personal feelings?"
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry. Patriarch Liszt snorted: "My old man is old. Maybe one day when you kick your legs, the person will be gone. The inheritance of my Liszt family has not yet been settled, if you were me, you would say that you are in a hurry!"
Kicking your legs?
Chen Daolin looked at the old man.
The face is full of red light, and he is full of middle energy-probably he has lived too well in the northwest, and he is slightly fatter than when he was in the imperial capital!
Do you kick your legs?
I'm afraid you're still alive if you kick your legs!
Chen Daolin smiled on his face, but he just looked at Patriarch Liszt and didn't speak.
The old man frowned. After looking at Chen Daolin a few times, he finally sighed: "I also told you about this matter when I was in the imperial capital, you didn't let go at the time, but now you still refuse?
"Of course I do, but I don't deserve Miss Lordelle. ”
That's not a bad thing. Patriarch Liszt smiled slightly: "But I, as a father, can call the shots." I said that you are worthy, and you are worthy, barely a few points, as long as my old man doesn't say it, who dares to make noise. ”
Chen Daolin cried with a sad face: "That...... Ask me if I agree or not. ”
"Anyway, you have to give me an explanation. Patriarch Liszt shook his head and said resolutely: "It's not a matter for my daughter to follow you so namelessly! The only heir of my family ran to follow you, what is the matter? Darling Chen, you will give me a word today! Will you marry my daughter or not!"
......
New Town, Temple of the High Priest.
Du Weiwei stood outside the gate of this temple. Looking at the long street in front of me, which has begun to take shape.
The streets were not paved with stone slabs like in other cities of the Empire, but were paved with burnt loess, similar in color to those of the loess bricks.
It is said that Darling Chen said that those stone roads are not strong enough, and it is better to use them without them, so he chose to use the powder of these loess bricks to pave the road, and it is said that he plans to make a new material in the future and re-pave the road surface, which is stronger and more resistant to damage, and is much stronger than the stone road.
Before and after the temple, the crowd was bustling.
It was evening, and the craftsmen, dressed differently and their families, came to the temple in groups, and began to bow down and pray in the open space outside the temple.
In the temple, in front of the temple, there were already rows of worshippers wearing white robes, and they began to chant songs loudly.
The tone of this song has a long and quaint taste, full of religious overtones.
But when he heard these disciples start singing the lyrics, Du Weiwei only listened to two sentences, and his face suddenly became very exciting, and he was choked at once, coughing again and again, and almost lost his breath.
"Once upon a time, it was cold in winter and rainy in summer...... Hahahaha! What kind of lyrics are these?"
It's a coincidence to say that in the entire Roland 6, in addition to Darlingo, there is only this duchess standing here.
Looking at those believers with extremely pious faces, with that out-of-tune and weird pronunciation, chanting "I saw the mountain eagle flying on the lonely two fish", Du Weiwei was already holding back his face and turned red.
She coughed a few times, then moved away from the temple and into the street.
He looked at the people around him and said in a low voice, "This is the temple of the Peerless Martial God Sect that Darling Chen made? That statue must have been drawn by Darling Chen himself, right?"
Standing beside Du Weiwei were Captain Hook and Dixon, as well as Baron Pierre's father and son.
Du glanced at a few people, and then his eyes suddenly fell on a figure, and said with a slight smile: "Why don't you speak?
The man she was staring at. His body shook, he raised his head helplessly, looked at Du Weiwei, his eyes were a little complicated, and said slowly: "Lord Duke, if you are not terrible, there are no terrible people in this world." ”
Du was slightly stunned. looked at the other party, then smiled, walked over, and actually reached out to pat the other party's cheek, there was a bit of banter in his eyes, and laughed in a low voice: "Little Rodelle." Don't worry, I'm not here to get you home. ”
Luo Daer's face turned red, but she quickly took a step back and glared at Du Weiwei: "If you arrest me, I won't go back with you, and you are not my father, why should you control me." ”
Du Weiwei was not annoyed. Raised his head and looked at the sky: "I'm not your father...... But if I say I'm a creditor, that's fine. ”
She lowered her head and stared at Luo Dai again: "I heard that all the Yiqiē here has your share? So do you know that Darling Chen, how much does that guy owe me? It turns out that he owes it alone, and now that you have joined his gang, then my debt, of course, will be borne by the two of you." ”
Lordelle's eyes flickered. With dodgy eyes, Xiao Nizi thought for a while, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes before she raised her head and said slowly: "It's nothing to carry it together." It's just that Lord Duke, it doesn't look like you're here to collect debts, right?"
"Oh?"
"If you're here to collect a debt. You have to bring a few settlers with you. I see that around you, it's either a samurai or a knight, or this stupid thing like a pig......"
Rodelle reached out and pointed at the person she struck. It was the commander of the logistics battalion of the original Northwest Independent Division, Duncan.
This guy was pointed, his body shook suddenly, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and he hurriedly laughed: "Miss Rodelle is right, I am indeed stupid, stupid and stupid......"
"I'm not in a hurry to collect debts, but I'll look at the industry. ”
Du squinted his eyes slightly: "Darling Chen has taken so many benefits from me, speaking of which, before he pays off his debts, the property here can be regarded as my share - if he doesn't pay it back, then I will always take away some of the things here." Isn't it strange that I look at my own property?"
Rodelle rolled her eyes and grinned, "Sister Messiah, you are so rich and powerful, why do you care about such a small thing? How much does Darling owe you? I helped him pay it back...... Is 100,000 gold coins enough?"
Du Weiwei listened, laughed, and looked at the little girl in front of him: "100,000 gold coins? ”
She suddenly took two steps, leaned into Rodelle's ear, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, he owes me money, and he can't pay it back!"
Laudel's body shook, and her face was a little difficult to look at.
Du Weiwei immediately laughed, and left the temple and walked forward, and the people behind him quickly followed.
Baron Pierre's father and son were even more covered with cold sweat and trembling.
With their identity, standing next to the leader of the empire's number one wealthy family, even if the other party is just a little girl, just that aura is enough to make people awe-inspired.
Rodelle walked at the back of the line, and the little girl seemed to be full of concern, just looking at Du Weiwei's back from a distance, frowning, and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Your Excellency Baron Pierre. ”
Du Weiwei walked out of the street and suddenly shouted.
The old baron suddenly walked vigorously, quickly ran behind Du Weiwei, bowed and said, "What do you have the Duke commanding?"
"Don't dare to take orders, this is not the tulip house, you are the master, I am the guest. Your Excellency the Baron need not be so polite. ”
Baron Pierre's face tightened, and he smiled bitterly: "Lord Duke, you don't need to say anything 'baron', since I followed Mr. Darling, that title has long been ......"
Du smiled faintly: "Your Excellency Darling Chen has a great future, if Your Excellency follows him, the future prospects are far more than just a baron, you don't need to be too humble about this." ”
After a pause, Du Weiwei said: "I came here rashly today, which is already presumptuous. Just one afternoon. After seeing so many interesting industries in your land, I was also quite touched. ”
Baron Pierre's heart was troubled. A smile barely escaped his face.
Can he not be afraid?
It was Lodell's idea at the beginning, and as soon as he heard that something had happened to the Northwest Independent Division, he immediately sent a large number of people to the south of the Northwest Fortress to intercept those caravan chambers of commerce.
This kind of thing, no matter how it looks, is almost opportunistic.
Tulip home cheap. Where is it so easy to occupy?
Now that the duke is coming, isn't he here to settle accounts?
With the tulip family's power in the northwest, as long as the duke coughs twice, his own small territory will be wiped out in an instant!
Don't forget, it's not far to the north. They are stationed in a Northwest Independent Division!
"I saw two places today and I was very interested. ”
Du Wei stopped, looked back at Baron Pierre, and said slowly: "The crop that Master Darling made is called corn, right? It tastes really good, and to hear you say, it's both a meal and a vegetable, but it's a good food. The northwest is bitterly cold, and it is a great thing that there is such a miraculous grain and such a high yield. ”
After a pause, Du said slowly: "There is a shortage of grain in the northwest. It has been lacking for more than 100 years, and my tulip family has tried their best, and they can only buy a large amount of food from other places every year...... The situation is a bit delicate, and this thing that Master Darling has made is quite useful to my tulip family. I think the area you planted is still a little small, if so...... We can work together. My tulips, my territory. The land is there, if you want it......"
Baron Pierre's eyelids jumped!
Everyone knows that there is a shortage of food in the northwest!
The Tulip family buys food from other places every year, and this will also be known to everyone!
Now...... The situation is delicate. The imperial capital has made it clear that it is suppressing the Tulip family, so it may not be so easy for the Tulip family to buy food from outside.
So......
Such a Cotai Avenue is in front of you!
"This thing is very good, if my tulip family wants to buy some seeds, I wonder what price you are willing to sell them?"
Baron Pierre thought for a while, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Lord Duke Mingjian, you can see, now the area of our first batch of cultivation is not large, and after cutting the rations we have left for now, the seeds we will cultivate in the coming year are actually not rich...... If the Tulip family is interested in the seeds of this thing, I'm afraid they will have to wait a little longer......"
After all, Pierre is still a careful person, and the seeds of this corn were taken out by Darling Chen, and now that the boss is not at home, he does not dare to agree rashly to such things.
This corn seed is an extremely important strategic resource in the northwest! How can he dare to casually sell such an important thing?
Du Weiwei was not surprised by his answer, and smiled faintly: "The matter of seeds, it can be done in the coming year, anyway, my tulip family is not short of food now, and this year's food is still enough." However, I think the loess brick you got is a very good thing. ”
After a pause, Du pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I also heard that you have built a brick kiln, and now you have begun to sell this loess brick to the outside world. ”
Baron Pierre wiped his sweat and nodded hurriedly: "That's natural, if the Duke is interested, we are naturally willing to sell." ”
"Then ......" Du Wei smiled faintly: "I'll order a million loess bricks first." ”
One, a million?!
Baron Pierre almost didn't sit on the ground!
At present, the production of brick kilns has been repeatedly expanded in the territory, but the current output is probably only about 3,000 bricks per day. In a month, if the waste is removed, the qualified loess bricks will not exceed 100,000.
One million yuan, that directly ate his entire output for more than a year!!
If all of them are sold to Tulip's family, not to mention that all the business orders of other families will be stopped, and even the new city of their own family will have no bricks to use.
This...... How can it be?!
If you blindly expand the brick kiln, you will have a total population of more than 10,000 in your territory......
Is it possible to let all the carpenters, blacksmiths, and construction workers all go to the brick kiln to burn bricks?!
The rhythm of the whole people's brick-burners?!
Baron Pierre was in a cold sweat and couldn't speak.
Du squinted at the old baron slightly, and did not speak.
At this time, Luo Daer, who was standing behind, smiled lightly, slowly walked a few steps, looked at Du Weiwei, and said with a smile: "Sister Messiah, you want a million bricks when you open your mouth...... Well, don't you ask the price first? Even if you're buying something and doing business, you always have to ask the price first, right?"
Du looked relaxed slightly, glanced back at Luo Daer, and said lightly: "No need to ask...... Who else dares to trick me?"
Who else dares to cheat me?!
That's a lot of domineering!
Lordelle opened her mouth, but was finally speechless to refute.
After all, in this place in the northwest, no matter what business you do, if you dare to cheat the Tulip family's money, it is definitely the rhythm of looking for death.
Du smiled slightly, walked to Luo Daer's side again, reached out and hugged this little girl, leaned into her ear, and laughed in a low voice:
"Is it so protective of Darling Chen's estate? Little Lordelle, you protect him so much, when will he marry you?"
Upon hearing this, Rodelle's face turned red and she couldn't even speak.
Secretly, a pair of small hands clenched their fists tightly.
Du Wei looked at Luo Dale's expression, as if he was smiling, his eyes flashing.
"Or ...... I'm in charge of you, how?"
......
"Give me a good word, boy!"
Patriarch Liszt pointed at Chen Daolin and shouted: "My daughter Lotelle, do you marry or not!!"
Chen Daolin's eyes flashed, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Patriarch Liszt: "Mr. Patriarch...... What if you marry, what if you don't?"
