After the old friend

In the main hall, Mrs. Chen, with a graceful figure, sat on the main seat in a purple shirt and long skirt, with a solemn expression.

Below, Chen Yun, the third young master of the Shen family, said with a suffocation: "The third-rate guy like the Green Snake Gang dares to speak loudly now, wanting to swallow our blood and eat our meat!"

Mrs. Chen sipped a sip of tea and asked, "How much do they want?"

"400 taels a month, otherwise our shops on half of the street would not be able to do a good job in business, and several old acquaintances from my Shen family would have cancelled their rents because of this." The third young master of the Shen family said helplessly.

Next to him, a girl with bright big eyes opened and said, "Mom, four hundred taels a month is equivalent to our Shen family taking half a street shop for them to work for the Qingshe to help them work."

The girl was wearing a goose yellow dress, with a little baby fat on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her skin was as creamy as she was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was the fourth lady of the Shen family.

Mrs. Chen looked sad and said, "Is there any way for the nephew who came from the previous month called "Bifengchasing Sword"?"

When the third young master heard this, he felt his head wide and said, "Mom, don't mention it. Zhuifengdao is his father's name and he has long disappeared. His son is drinking with my money all day long. I was drunk a few days ago and I was said to have been drunk and wanted to stand up for us. But I was scared by the people from the Qingsnake Gang and almost peeed my pants.

After all my father’s old friends, none of them are reliable.”

"This is the most outrageous thing about your nephew Jing who has come here recently. The pills you have to take every month cost less than twenty taels of silver. Mom, if the relationship is average, there is no need to keep a medicine jar, right?"

It can be seen that the third young master of the Shen family has a lot of opinions about this nephew Jing Yue.

He kept hiding and refused to speak until he encountered a lot of bad things today, and he couldn't help it.

Mrs. Chen's face became much more serious and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Although there are some difficulties at home, it is still easy to bear some medicine."

"When your father left, he repeatedly warned that the Shen family should not forget their roots. Jing Yue is different from those old friends. If Jing Yue's father and the old man had not sold their assets and allowed your father to make a living, your father would not know where he is now."

Then she remembered something again and said a little discouraged: "Although I don't know where he is now."

"Mom, why don't we get in touch with the official?" Miss Four Chen Lu suggested.

Mrs. Chen shook her head and sighed, "Don't look at the current situation. Your father has been demoted three times in two years. At this time, the official acquaintances can't even hide when they see us. Who dares to help us?"

"And if this kind of affection is one point, you will lose one point. Don't use it easily when it is not critical."

The third young master of the Shen family said depressedly: "Mom, what should I do? My Shen family is well-known, so I can't be ridden on my head like this, right?"

At this time, the fourth lady Chen Lu couldn't help but think: "If you want me to talk to third brother, why don't you take your servants to fight with the Green Snake Gang?"

The third young master of the Shen family said in shock: "Huopin? Sister, are you thinking that your brother is long-lasting, right?"

Chen Lu pouted and said, "It would be great if my second sister was there. When she was at home, who would bully us, the sword was placed on that person's neck."

Mrs. Chen said with a headache: "Far water cannot quench near thirst. Your second sister is practicing in the north. Don't bother her with this little thing."

The third young master of the Shen family wanted to speak but stopped.

Because he knew very well that this was not a trivial matter. Since his father Chen San was demoted one after another and took his elder brother away, although the huge Shen family maintained its superficial scenery, it had to rely on the rent of the shops on the half street. Turning around.

Logically speaking, at this time, we must save money. After my father and his unreliable old friends, they will be a considerable expense.

Before becoming rich, Mr. Chen loved to make friends with people from all over the world, and was loyal, and had many "most friends".

But these people seem to be chivalrous people, but in fact most of them are unreliable. After Chen Sanye became an official, they knew that they had no real skills, so they gradually stayed away from him.

But once Mr. Chen was demoted and left Bianzhou City, these people came to eat and drink. For example, the nephew of Zhuifeng Dao is the best example.

There are even more "Monkey Mountain Fist" Li Dashan, "Three-Single Whip Leg" Zhao Buqian, etc., all of which are such people, which makes the Shen family very troubled.

You say they are old friends, but they are really, you can drive them away, and you have a bad reputation.

It was a story outside that said that the Shen family was not in love, or simply said that the Shen family was not good enough and had no family background. It was difficult to arrange an old friend inappropriately.

In fact, being an official and doing business requires reputation. Once a reputation falls, it will be almost like a tree falls and money scatters, and it is difficult to do anything.

So the Chen Mansion could only keep these people as their disciples, but the more they raised them, the more they looked like suckers, and they were angry.

After all, as soon as Master Chen left, the Shen family lost their backbone and could not suppress others.

This is also the main reason why the Third Young Master couldn't help but want to rush to Jing Yue today.

Those slick tourists in the world are not easy to catch up. The sick people from this countryside are always easier to start. Who would have thought that their mother would protect her?

Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any discussion on the Green Snake Gang?"

The third young master Chen Yun replied: "I asked a few days ago. I was very tough and probably couldn't talk. But there was a saying that the gang leader would come back in half a month. If you want to talk, you have to go to the gang leader personally to find the gang leader's axe."

Mrs. Chen drank a tea and said, "Then let's talk about it later. Even if the negotiations cannot be reached, your father will still keep some money and can last for a while."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "Now, for a woman, she finally understands the truth that 'It's easy to manage the family business, but it's difficult to keep the family business."

"By the way, let Jing Yue have dinner together tomorrow. He is different from those guests. Although your father is not here, I remember everything he said. This nephew Jing wants to wait for him to be released, and he has been upset recently. There are too many things to do, I forgot about this.”

Afterwards, Mrs. Chen left the hall with great thoughts.

The fourth lady Chen Lu and the third young master Chen Yun sat there and were not as quiet as possible.

The third young master even doubts life.

It turns out that nothing can be done, right?

My father's life has been ups and downs in recent years, and as a member of the Shen family, isn't it the same?

He always felt that since his father was demoted, all kinds of unlucky things came, making him breathless.

At this time, my sister Chen Lu thought and said, "Third Brother, do you think the surname Jing is older than you or younger than you?"

The third young master Chen Yun asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Chen Lulu said with a deep meaning: "Take it as your own, that means that if he is older than you, you will have to call him 'Brother' sooner or later."

Chen Yun was furious and slapped the table and said, "Be his dream of spring and autumn!"

After discovering that his sister was a little gloating, he couldn't help but feel even more angry and complained: "Now that there are so many things at home, you still have the time to make these boring jokes."

Chen Lu had a happy personality and said, "What a big deal, at most, we can start over again. We have never been poor. Brother, I remember when we snatched a steamed bun, it was no big deal."

In the room, Jing Yue slept very well after shaking for a day. As the third young master said, he was having a great dream of spring and autumn.

Have a great dream of spring and autumn that binds practice and prolongs life.
