Chapter 67 Jiangling Chen Family

Lord Assassin, although the Chen family is a local rich family, they dare not slack off at all. Before it was completely dark, the vast mansion was decorated with lights, like a festival.

At this time, in an elegant room in the inner courtyard of Chen's house, Chen's head, Chen Shansheng and Zheng's two sons, Chen Liang and Chen Kun, are discussing the upcoming meeting with Lu Qiang.

Chen Bingsheng is over 60 years old, but he is still red and strong. A few days ago, he just married an eleven-bedroom concubine who was only 16 years old. Who dares to say he is old?

The two sons are also 40 years old, with a short and fat figure and a look of excessive wine and sex. The second brother is quite elegant and his eyes are shining. Obviously, he is not a good character.

"Father, do you value him too much? As long as these officials of the imperial court give them enough money to be beautiful, won't they still be used for me?

Boss Chen Liang said with an expression of indifference.

Chen Bingsheng couldn't help staring at this pig-like son. He was more and more disappointed with this boss. He was ready to hand over the position of head of the family to his second son after a hundred years, otherwise his hard-earned family business would be defeated by the eldest son sooner or later.

"Father says so, it's his own reason. Brother, let's listen to what his father says!"

Chen Liang also saw that this brother was unpleasant. He was better than himself and would please his father. After listening to his brother's words, he couldn't help humming coldly and stopped talking.

Chen Bingsheng was very satisfied with his second son's performance and nodded and said, "You should know that after Lu Qiang moved into Jiangling, he has almost never contacted us scholars, but is very close to those poor families, which is not a good omen!"

Chen Liang snorted coldly, "I heard that the Huan family has raised troops to seize Jiangling. Without our support, he wants to defend Jiangling? Dream!"

"Will he not even think of what you can think of? Otherwise, he would not have agreed to come to the banquet so quickly. When he first called himself an assassin, I had sent someone to learn more about his details."

Chen Bingsheng said and picked up a letter from the table: "You can have a look! This is from the Lu family in Guangling"

Chen Liang took it and handed it to Chen Kun after a few glances.

"What does the Lu family have to do with us? Our home is in Jiangling. Can't we move to Guangling to please the Lu family?

Chen Bingsheng knows his eldest son's IQ very well, so he doesn't expect him to say anything constructive.

"What do you think of Kun'er?"

Although Chen Kun peeped at the position of the head of the family, he has been hiding it well in front of his father and brother, so that people can't see any flaws.

"I agree with what Lu Qiang said. No matter what Lu Qiang did to the Lu family, it was a matter between them. Our roots are here, so we must have a good relationship with local officials. As far as I know, Lu Qiang sneaked into Jiangling alone this time, which not only drove away Huan Xuan, but also saved Sima Dewen, the king of Langya, today's brother. , there is only one brother today, and we all know that today is mentally incomplete, so after King Langya enters the dynasty, his power must rise sharply. In this way, Lu Qiang will definitely be reused."

Speaking of this, I still want to agree with what my brother said. If Lu Qiang doesn't have our help and wants to defend Jiangling, it's really like a dream. So I think we should show the importance of our Chen family, and also encircle him and strive to make him the spokesperson of our Chen family."

Chen Kun agreed with Chen Liang's words twice, which made Chen Liang's face soften and nodded, "Beauty Gold and Silver, we will give him whatever he likes. I don't believe I can't take him."

Chen Bingsheng couldn't help sighing secretly after listening to his two sons. Although what they said were right, they didn't get to the point.

He invited Lord Shi as the head of a rich family, which was originally a kind of temptation. If Lu Qiang came, it means that he wanted to get his own help, so he could talk to him about the conditions. If he doesn't come, then he will also know how to choose.

The Chen family is a rich family in Jiangling. No matter who enters here, he will not offend them. The reason why Chen Bingsheng chose Lu Qiang is that he has seen the defeat of the Huan family. If Lu Qiang refuses to bow to his family, he does not mind selling Jiangling to the Huan family again. Anyway, he didn't lose anything.

"Kun'er, can Yuer be an official?"

Chen Moyu is Chen Kun's only son. Chen Kun was really surprised when he heard his father's words. Although his son came from a rich family, he has been studying hard and hopes to become an official one day. And the Lu family has also promised to help. If it hadn't been for Huan Xuan, they might have become an official now.

Although Lu Qiang offended the Lu family, there was King Langya behind him, a small servant of the Ministry of Shangshu. How can he compare with the prince?

Now when the father mentions this matter, he obviously wants his son to be an official beside Lu Qiang, and as a father, Lu Qiang will certainly agree to raise this matter.

I can't help bowing and salute: "Thank you for your father's success"

Chen Liang beside him couldn't help but be jealous and hateful. His son, like him, eats, drinks, gambles and gambles. No wonder Mr. Chen can't like him.

No matter how bad he is, he is also his son. No matter how he looks at it, he is better than others. Why doesn't his father prefer the grandson of the second family make him angry?

At this time, a subordinate came to report that Lord Assassin had arrived outside the house.

After hearing the report, Chen Jiayesan hurriedly tidied up his clothes and greeted them out together.

Lord Assassin is willing to come to the door and has given enough face to the Chen family. If he doesn't welcome him again, he will be shameless.

Lu Qiang has been busy since he joined Jiangling. It's not that he doesn't have time to care about rich scholars like the Chen family. Today, Chen Bingsheng took the initiative to invite him, but he is also in his arms. While contacting the Chen family, he can also touch the bottom of other families. After all, other families in Jiangling They are all headed by the Chen family.

The master hasn't come out yet. Of course, Lu Qiang can't go inside by himself. After handing over the horse to his own soldiers, he looked at the face of the Chen family with his hands behind his back.

This is a typical Jiangnan rich family building. The facade is tall and wide, and two doors are covered with copper nails, which shows the luxury of the owner. However, at this moment, it is completely open, facing a beautifully carved photo wall. Against the backdrop of two rows of lanterns, it is even more beautiful.

The four small hats in blue stand on both sides of the door. There is also a small door next to the gate. Lu Qiang knew that it was for servants, and if it were not for important guests, the two doors would not have been fully opened.

Lu Qiang did not know the connection between the Chen family and the Lu family in Guangling. It is impossible for him to completely suppress these rich families, but appropriate restrictions are inevitable.

Again, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you have to take your time to do everything.

"Lord Assassin has arrived and has not been welcomed far away, please forgive me"

While talking, Chen's father and son came out with a group of families.

Everyone can say nonsense, and Lu Qiang also hugged his fists and smiled, "I should have come to visit the old master earlier. It's really annoying. I should ask the old master for his understanding!"

Lu Qiang said and took a brocade box from his own soldiers, which was an old ginseng found in Huanxuan's warehouse. You can't come empty-handed! So I brought it here by the way.

"A little kind, please accept it"

"How dare, how dare... Lord Lu, please come in"

Chen Bingsheng's eyes are about to smile. It's not that he hasn't seen good things, but that Lu Qiang can bring gifts, which is enough to explain Lu Qiang's attitude.

The banquet has been set up for a long time. After Lu Qiang was invited to sit down, hot dishes were also served one after another. During this period, Chen Bingsheng introduced his two sons to Lu Qiang.

In order to make his son an official under Lu Qiang in the future, Chen Kun was more polite. After accompanying his father to toast Lu Qiang, he asked his son Chen Moyu to toast Lu Qiang.

Seeing that Chen Kun's son was polite and looked at him with a warm color, Lu Qiang's heart was a little clear.

Since it is necessary to attract the Chen family, you might as well do it thoroughly. Lu Qiang was about to recruit Chen Moyu into the government office. Chen Liang, who was beside him, suddenly stood up and greeted him with a wine glass.

"Lord Lu is young and successful, and it is really lucky for me to enter Jiangling! I have something to ask for. I don't know if you can agree?" This sentence is fast and urgent, as if afraid of being interrupted.

Lu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned. Chen Bingsheng and Chen Kun on the other side couldn't help saying that it was not good. I'm afraid this fool will make trouble.

As soon as he expected his father to speak, Chen Liang said first, "There is a dog, which is still successful in his studies, and he is also rated as the top grade by Lord Zhongzheng. I don't know if Lord Shi can give the dog a job?"

After saying that, Chen Liang waved to call the teenager who was almost the same as him behind him.

"Tao'er, come and meet Lord Assassin"

Sure enough, it's a dog. His body is thicker than his father's, his eyes are swollen, and he looks like he doesn't have a serious lack of sleep. I really don't understand how that Zhongzheng adult is fixed for people. Just like this bup, it can also be a top grade?

Before Lu Qiang spoke, Chen Bingwen next to him said coldly, "Liang'er, you have drunk too much, you can go back to your room to rest."

It seems that the Chen family is not a piece of iron!

Lu Qiang smiled and said, "I have just moved into Jiangling, and my subordinates are the most lacking talents. The two grandchildren of the old family are talented people. I don't know if the old family owner is willing to give up his love? Let them work for the government"

"What?"

Chen Bingsheng and his two sons thought they had heard it wrong. It was expected that Chen Moyu could be looked at by Lu Qiang, but how could he like this pig-like waste?

However, Chen's father and son soon understood Lu Qiang's thoughts. Lu Qiang wanted to get the support of the Chen family, so he really did not hesitate to spend his money.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat. Although he doesn't like his eldest grandson, he can become an official, which also makes Chen Bingsheng sincerely happy.

He stood up and saluted Lu Qiang deeply and said, "The adults love the Chen family so much that the Chen family will not let the adults down."

After talking about the core content of the meeting, everyone was happy for a while, followed by wind and snow. This banquet can be said to be the joy of the guests.

When Lu Qiang left, Chen Bing Life brought out the already prepared gold and silver and two beautiful women.

If you follow the strong temper of the road, you won't want these things, but in order to avoid the Chen family's suspicion, they still accept the gold and silver things, but the beautiful woman said nothing.

After telling the two grandchildren of the Chen family to report to the government office tomorrow, Lu Qiang got on the horse and left.

Seeing that Lu Qiang's back gradually faded away, Chen Bingsheng turned his head and took a deep look at his eldest son, but didn't say anything. He turned his head and said to his second son, "Tomorrow, 200 Zhuangding and 2,000 days of grain and grass will be sent to the government office."
