The night is freezing and the heart is cold.
"I can give him a ride."
Mr. Chen knelt on the ground and opened his mouth slightly: "Ancestor, please save Awang's life!"
Mr. Liu glanced at him twice.
"you sure?"
"Grandson is sure!"
…………
Mr. Chen's eyes flashed in a daze, his brows furrowed deeply.
He didn't know what Lao Ma said, but what could he do? Awang was his only son, but the Chen family has been extinct since then!
Think about this.
Mr. Chen slapped his hand on the stone table, his chest heaving and his anger still lingering.
"Damn Zheng Qi, it must be him!"
To be honest, Chen Dafa seriously suspected that Zheng Qi was most likely responsible for his son's soul being shattered and becoming like this. Otherwise, how could such a sudden change happen!
It’s just that every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its owner.
Zheng Qi is dead, and Master Chen has no place to look for him.
A few moments.
"Today is a happy day for the Chen family. Let's wait until this period of time to discuss the young master's affairs." Chen Dafa seemed to think of something. He looked up at Butler Ma and asked, "Where is the ancestor?"
"The ancestor is not at home."
Butler Ma replied in a low voice.
"Not here."
Chen Dafa muttered twice, his eyes lost in thought. Immediately, he greeted: "Come here, Old Ma. I have something important for you to do. It must be done today."
Butler Ma came closer and leaned down.
Master Chen whispered instructions; Steward Ma's calm face gradually showed surprise.
"Master, what are you..."
"Go ahead and do it now."
"I understand, Master, I will do this myself." Butler Ma looked serious and turned to leave.
Mr. Chen was the only one left in the pavilion.
He looked at the garden outside the pavilion. Under the sunshine, the gorgeous flowers swayed slightly, full of vitality, but he couldn't help but sigh quietly: "Is this karma?"
One thing is that Mr. Chen did not lie to Lin Jiu.
The ancestors of the Chen family were craftsmen and indeed built mausoleums for the previous empress dowagers. The reason why I didn't go down to accompany the Queen Mother was entirely due to my ancestors' methods and suggestions.
Since the fall of the previous dynasty, the Chen family has been completely engaged in business and has gradually developed into the current family business.
As for whether it was karma or not, no one would give him an answer.
Mr. Chen lifted the tea cup and put it into his mouth, and paused slightly.
The tea has gone cold.
Immediately, he drank it in one gulp.
He got up and walked into the small courtyard, came to the closed door, and listened to the roar inside, stunned.
…
…
Dusk.
"Snapped--"
"Dang Dang Dang..."
The crackling of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums.
Zhou An poked his little head out of the crack in the door and looked at the people coming and going on the street with an excited and curious look on his face.
"It's so lively."
"Marriage is a major event in life, and rich people naturally have to pay attention to pomp and ceremony."
Li Kui stood behind Zhou An and looked outside.
As the richest man in Putuo Town and a very influential figure, the happy events of the Chen family are the happy events of Putuo Town! There are several streets lined with banquets, and you can have a sumptuous dinner just by saying auspicious words of congratulations.
"Hmph, Ah Hao, a guy who forgets his friends after seeing sex, didn't wait for us and went directly to Lan Lan."
Another watermelon head squeezed out between the two.
Ah Cai's tone was indignant, but I guess he was mostly envious.
"Hahaha." Li Kui raised his eyebrows: "The last time I was a hero, I saved a beautiful girl. Now is the period when my relationship is on the rise. Naturally, I have to strike while the iron is hot."
Upon hearing this, Ah Cai was filled with emotion. He looked at the red lanterns hanging high on the street and said from the bottom of his heart: "Ah Hao is finally settled this time. I don't know when I can attend his wedding."
"Then it's up to him."
Li Kui narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Although the two often quarrel and fight, they are both relatives who value each other very much.
Immediately.
Ah Cai howled into the room: "Master, please hurry up, everyone is waiting for you."
"Why urge?"
Lin Jiu came out wearing a formal suit, with her hands behind her back: "Let's go, let's go!"
A group of people arrived in front of Chen's mansion, just as the bride Huaqiao arrived.
The sedan chair gently landed on the ground, and the bride opened the red curtain and was led into the mansion by an old man with jade ruyi.
"Taoist Lin."
At this moment, there was a distant cry.
Mr. Chen walked through the crowd, smiled and said with cupped hands: "The distinguished guests are here for the banquet, it's really a feast for the eyes."
"Mr. Chen, you're welcome." Lin Jiu took out the prepared gift from his sleeve and handed it over, smiling slightly: "Mr. Chen, now he has forgotten his long-cherished wish."
"Yes." Mr. Chen's smile did not change: "I have been looking forward to this day for many years."
"You still need to pay more attention to rest."
Lin Jiu noticed that Mr. Chen didn't look very good and his eyeballs were slightly bloodshot.
"I will, I will."
Chen Dafa nodded hurriedly: "I have prepared a wine table for you and your disciples. Butler Ma will take you there."
"Director Lin, please come this way."
Butler Ma made one move with one hand.
"good!"
So, Lin Jiu and others followed Butler Ma to the lobby.
As soon as Fang sat down, Lin Jiu showed a helpless expression. Their position was also clever. On the left and right were squires and wealthy people from Putuo Town. It was expected that socializing was indispensable.
"Xiao An, chopsticks."
Ah Cai handed Zhou An a pair of chopsticks and whispered:
"Master, why didn't you see the young master of the Chen family at the door just now to welcome the bride?"
"Didn't Chen Wang fall into the water last time? I heard that the illness was not cured, so I didn't let the groom come out."
The person who said these words was none other than Ah Hao. He hugged Li Kui's shoulders with a smile, winked and said, "I also heard that the bride is a girl from a small village."
"You came just in time."
Li Kui couldn't help but smile: "Where are Lan Lan and Aunt Wang?"
"Hey, they're too embarrassed to come over." Ah Hao sat down directly next to Li Kui.
"Where did you hear the news?"
Ah Cai asked while chewing on the beef bones.
"Of course I heard it from others."
Ahao picked up the chopsticks and immediately joined the battlefield.
"Then do they still worship?"
"Sure, but it seems to be in the backyard."
"Then why don't you wait until you get better before you get better?"
"Congratulations!" Lin Jiu tapped Ah Cai's forehead with his chopsticks: "Why are there so many problems? It's all your fault."
"oh."
Ah Cai didn't take it seriously and put a piece of oily mutton into Zhou An's bowl. "Xiao An, try this, it's really delicious."
"Um."
Zhou An showed a bright smile and nodded heavily.
"But the bride is from a small village, which really surprised me. I thought she must at least be a good match."
Ahao said shaking his head.
Hearing this, Li Kui was thoughtful.
But it's quite normal if you think about it carefully. The Chen family's property is already big enough. Besides, Chen Wang has flaws. Marrying an honest woman with no background is actually the best choice.
"Everyone eat well and drink well."
Halfway through, Mr. Chen came out once.
…
…
Backyard, a certain house.
Enshrined above are the tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family.
The bright candlelight flickered, drawing out two overlapping shadows.
"If you enter our Chen family, you are a member of our Chen family."
Mr. Chen was playing with the lion's head walnuts in his hand, with a majestic look on his face. "The matter has been handed over to you. As long as the secret can be kept well, you and your parents will have a worry-free life, otherwise we will go to hell together!"
"I understand, sir."
The bride is a seventeen-year-old girl. She cannot be said to be very beautiful, but she has the energy and youthfulness that comes with her age. She lowered her head and replied cautiously.
"Well, let's go back."
"Master, I'm going out first."
The door was gently closed.
Mr. Chen turned his head and looked at the ancestral tablet, walnuts spinning in his palm.
