The door is not blown.
Within the Beishan Fort Hundred Households, the Jin family, the Cheng family, and the Li family were originally the most respected. The three families almost monopolized the official positions of the general banner and the hundred households.
Pushing it down, the Chen family is also the leader.
Chen Jinshi is thirty-five years old this year. He has been in the army for eighteen years and has sufficient qualifications. He spent a lot of money and asked for help, and got the official position of the general banner.
In one fell swoop, he became the third most powerful person in this hundred households, and he was in the limelight.
Like Wu Nian, he was promoted from a small flag to a general flag. He also rode a good horse, amidst the sounds of encouragement, blowing and beating, and under the awe-inspiring eyes of the military household in Beishan Fort, he finished the lively horse riding parade and returned to his mansion.
The Chen family's mansion also has three entrances.
But his house was much livelier than Wu Nian's house. In addition to his wife, Chen Jinshi also has eight concubines, five sons, and six daughters, of whom the eldest son is already married.
This family is lively, but extremely crowded.
But no matter what, the Chen family is proud today. The whole house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and they were busy preparing for the noon banquet.
Chen Jinshi got off his horse and entered the room with the housekeeper. Looking at the excitement in the house, he couldn't help but feel proud.
But Chen Jinshi remembered something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"Dad." At this time, the youngest son Chen Guinian ran over with short legs and hugged his legs. Chen Jinshi put down what was on his mind and showed a big smile. He bent down and picked up his youngest son. After being affectionate for a while, he handed his son to the wet nurse who caught up with him.
He winked at the butler, and the two of them came to the main room and sat down together.
"Is that person here?" Chen Jinshi was a little thirsty and asked the maid to make a cup of tea. He raised his head and asked the housekeeper.
"Here we come." The housekeeper nodded, then hesitated and said: "Master, this Wu Nian is too violent. Li Ding died in an unknown manner, Cheng Gao and his wife disappeared, and no bones were left. Now he has recruited 800 slaves, and he has become famous for a while. No two. I don’t think it’s good if you do this.”
Chen Jinshi's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, with a little fear on his face. But soon he held his head high and sneered: "Don't worry, now that that person is here, I can beat Wu Nian."
"Hey." The housekeeper felt that it was unreliable, but seeing that Chen Jinshi had made up his mind, he could only sigh, bowed to Chen Jinshi, and turned around.
At this time, the maid came in with a tea cup.
"Master, the tea you just brewed is very hot, please be careful." The maid warned softly.
"Yes." Chen Jinshi nodded and asked the maid to put the tea cup on the coffee table, lift the lid and leave it there. After it cooled down, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
He was thinking about it while drinking tea.
People's thoughts and ways of dealing with the world will change as time goes by and their status changes.
After Wu Nian fought against Cheng Gao forcefully, and Cheng Gao disappeared for no apparent reason.
Chen Jinshi is also afraid of Wu Nian, just like Zhu Xiaoqi. He kept Wu Nian at a respectful distance.
But when he took the official position of the general banner, he felt a strong discomfort.
He ate military pay and drank soldiers' blood, but Wu Nian's soldiers and horses did not give him food or drink.
Of course, he could also tolerate Wu Nian, as if nothing had happened, and eat the military pay and blood of the other four flags.
But he wasn't willing to do it. He thought he could do it.
Because that person is here.
He can compete with Wu Nian in terms of force.
"The first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office is Wu Nian. At this banquet, I will give you a warning. I will train you well and let you know what the general flag is and what the small flag is."
Chen Jinshi made up his mind to subdue this mad dog Wu Nian.
It was still some time before noon. After Chen Jinshi made up his mind, he calmed down and drank the cup of tea slowly. Then he went to the bedroom and fell asleep with his arms around his concubine in broad daylight. Go back to sleep in a while.
It's almost time to poop at noon.
Chen Jinshi sat in the main room, as steady as a Buddha, and asked the butler to go out to greet the guests.
Wu Nian and Zhang Jin arrived at the gate of Chen's house together, and the housekeeper in charge of welcoming guests immediately came up with a smile on his face.
"Wu Xiaoqi, please come in."
Wu Nian didn't know about the mess. If you don’t raise this amount of money, you have to bring a gift if you come to have a dinner, right? He raised his hand, handed the butler a delicate rectangular box, and said, "A gift."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiaoqi. I would like to thank you on behalf of the master." The butler smiled and took the gift, then invited Wu Nian to go in.
Today, a banquet was set up in the inner courtyard. Wu Nian went in and Zhang Jin made other arrangements.
Wu Nian didn't think much about it. After arriving at the courtyard, they saw that the wine table was already full of people.
"My brother, you said you wouldn't be late, but you are still late. You will be punished with three drinks later." Wu Dangkou seemed to be a Maitreya Buddha, with a slightly trembling smile.
"I'm late. I'll punish myself with three cups later." Wu Nian said boldly.
"Brother." Immediately, Wu Nian came to the big round table, saw an empty seat next to Li Kun, sat down, and said to Li Kun.
"Here are some peanuts." Li Kun smiled, opened his palm to reveal a hand full of peanuts, and gave half of it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian had nothing to do, so he ate peanuts and chatted with Li Kun and others.
Although Wu Nian came late, some people came even later than Wu Nian. After everyone arrived, the protagonist Chen Jinshi also came out.
The slaves also brought out all the hot food and wine, filling the wine table.
Chen Jinshi stood up, picked up the wine cup, and said to everyone: "Today is my big day. Thank you all brothers for the honor. I am here to toast you brothers."
Naturally, everyone gave Chen Jinshi, the protagonist, some face. They stood up, raised their wine cups, and drank the wine with him.
"Brothers, don't be polite. Eat and drink well." After Chen Jinshi sat down, he said to everyone with a smile.
"Wait a minute. Before eating and drinking, some people have to punish themselves with three drinks." Wu Dangkou looked at Wu Nian with a smile and said.
"Hahaha. That's right."
"Wu Xiaoqi is the God of Bacchus, so I'm afraid this small wine cup won't be enough. Do you want to change it to a larger bowl?"
The flag boys all started to boo.
"Brothers, let's forget about the big bowl, let's just use the wine cups." Wu Nian quickly asked the group to stop, and then poured the wine himself, finishing three wine cups in a row.
It's funny, I don't feel anything at all.
Everyone knows that it is in Baihusuo. Except for Li Kun, the other officials were afraid of Wu Nian, and their booing was just superficial.
Chen Jinshi used to be the same.
Now he doesn't have to cover up.
and. He also wants to be feared by others.
Chen Jinshi's eyes flashed coldly.
