The gong and drum team that Chen Changan hired made everyone known when they came to Cui's house. On the way back, they even intensified their efforts. They not only played gongs and drums, but even made people shout while walking for a while.
"The Chen family has taken the initiative to break off the engagement with the Cui family! The marriage between Chen Changan and Miss Cui has been cancelled!"
Originally, it was a good thing that Chen Changan took the initiative to break off the engagement. Cui Liang was angry on the surface, but secretly he was a little happy, because it saved a lot of trouble.
Cui Gong was right when he said that there is no greater achievement than rescuing the emperor. Cui Sheng died in the emperor's arms. He died saving the emperor. Relying on Cui Sheng's great contribution, the Cui family will soon be prosperous. How can a mere child of the Chen family be worthy of the Cui family's legitimate daughter?
After the news from the court came, Cui Liang originally planned to go to the Chen family to break off the engagement, but he didn't expect that Chen Changan would take the lead.
If you go first, go first. What does it mean to use the speaker in the whole server?
Breaking off the engagement is certainly a great shame and humiliation for the Cui family, but is it something you, Chen Changan, should be proud of? Cui Liang's smart little mind couldn't figure out why on earth this bastard Chen Changan did this? Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, this feud has been completely settled. The reputation of the Cui family has been rubbed on the ground by Chen Changan. This hatred is irreconcilable!
Cui Liang narrowed his eyes and said, "Second brother, go to Qingfeng Mountain for a walk..."
The words were divided into two parts, saying that Chen Changan left the Cui Mansion and had a lively journey back home. When he arrived at the door of his house, he paid his wages and dismissed the gong and drum team. He and Chen San quietly slipped into the Chen family compound.
The Chen family has been in business for many generations and can be considered a prominent figure in the county. It is a pity that the Chen family has not been able to hold an official position for several generations. The rich get richer and lack some background. The Chen Family Courtyard also continues this style of being wealthy but without any background. Wherever you go, there is one word: dazzle.
For example, where Chen Changan lives, he has a separate small courtyard. The house is made of red bricks and glazed tiles, the floor is made of blue misty rainstone, the furniture is made of agarwood and red sandalwood, the pendants are all gold, silver and jade, and the clothes he wears are made of silk and silk. The eldest young master of the Chen family was served by two maids, a servant, and an old man with a beard and a glare...
Um? Where did the old man come from? Still blowing your beard and staring?
Chen Changan sensed that something was wrong, turned around and wanted to run away, but the old man said angrily: "Hold this little beast down for me! I want to practice my own skills today!"
Immediately, two guys with big muscles and round waists came up and caught Chen Changan. Each of them grabbed one of Chen Changan's arms as easily as if they were grabbing a chicken. Chen Changan sucked in cold air from the pain and said hurriedly: "Father, please forgive me, Father, please forgive me!"
The old man blowing his beard and staring was none other than Chen Zhidong, the head of the Chen family. Chen Zhidong was a father-in-law, and he always doted on Chen Changan. Chen Changan was a bit stupid at first, but recently he became enlightened and became very organized in his words and actions. Before Mr. Chen could be happy, he heard that Chen Changan went to the Cui family to break off the engagement. It also caused uproar in the city, and now Mr. Chen was so angry that he almost died.
With the size of the Chen family, what kind of trouble could Dali County be able to hide from Chen Zhidong? Chen Changan thought he had entered the house quietly, but in fact, he was still on his way home. Chen Zhidong was already waiting in his room and controlled his people so that no one could tip him off. Seeing that Mr. Chen was getting angry, the servants didn't dare to express their anger. Only Chen San was loyal and bravely went up and pulled him twice.
"Master, master, please let the young master go, please let the young master go!"
Chen San was young and did not pull the two strong men. Instead, he succeeded in attracting Chen Zhidong's attention. He pointed at Chen San and said, "If I ask you to take care of the young master, you will follow him and make mischief, right? Pull him to me." Get out and fight!”
Chen San was pulled out and beaten, and the screams could be heard far away through the wall.
Chen Chang'an said with a playful smile: "Dad, it's all my fault and has nothing to do with Chen San. It's okay to give him a few beatings, but don't really break him. You'll have to treat him when the time comes. Isn't it a waste of money?"
Chen Zhidong's anger remained unabated. He paused his cane on the ground and said, "Get out of here!"
The rest immediately left the room, leaving only the father and son in the room. Chen Zhidong stopped talking about the family law and said with a dark face: "My son is really a bastard. What did you do?"
Chen Changan coaxed the old man to sit down with a shy face, rubbing his shoulders and legs, and serving tea and fanning him. After all, he was his biological father and he always loved him. Chen Zhidong's face looked better now.
Chen Chang'an said: "Dad, I know the affairs of the Cui family well. I heard that the emperor was a very affectionate person. Cui Sheng saved his life. It is a certainty that the Cui family will become prosperous. What do you think about my marriage to Miss Cui's family?" , is it still possible to succeed?”
"You can break off the engagement, but you can do it quietly. Why do you want to make such a big fuss? Wouldn't this offend the Cui family to death? Then Cui Liang is not an economical lamp!"
Chen Changan touched his nose. This was indeed a flaw. It was difficult to lie, and it involved privacy that was difficult for him to mention to others. He couldn't tell his father that I came from time-travel, and that I had a dog system. They are all tasks, and there is nothing I can do about it...
"Dad, you can't blame me." After thinking about it, Chen Changan decided to talk nonsense. "The Cui family has already thought about breaking off the engagement. Even if I don't take the initiative to come, they will come. Rather than being humiliated by them then, why don't I first If you use force to gain strength, our old Chen family can lose anything, but we can’t lose face!”
Before Chen Zhidong could speak, Chen Changan continued: "Anyway, the marriage has been canceled and the person has been offended. You can do whatever you want. You can't beat me to death, can you? You are such a precious son like me, so why should I?" I have to support you till the end of your life."
Good guy, let’s just show it off and stop pretending. I’m a dead pig and I’m not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Let’s show off my cards.
Chen Zhidong sighed and said: "My son is young. You don't know the dangers of the world, let alone how ruthless Cui Liang's methods are. He... Well, the matter has come to an end. Please stay at home and don't go out these days. I will let people spread the word and say that I will beat you so severely that you will not be able to get out of bed. Tomorrow I will go to Cui Mansion to apologize to others and see if I can expose this matter."
Only then did Chen Changan realize that Chen San was being beaten and shouting for himself. Only then did he remember that Chen San was still being beaten, but his voice sounded very angry. He should be able to beat him for a while longer, so it wouldn't be a big problem.
Chen Changan said: "Dad, why are you so afraid of the Cui family? What can they do?"
"What do you know? The Cui family appears to be a heirloom of poems and books, but in fact they have a large private salt business behind the scenes. They have many desperadoes and many martial arts masters in the family. Even the people in Qingfeng Mountain don't dare to If they attack the Cui family's caravan, how can our old Chen family be better off?"
Chen Changan said confidently: "Don't worry, Dad, if the day comes, it doesn't matter, I will take action."
