There was a yellow wooden table in Chen Zeqing's home. Because of its age, the table surface was greasy, but it was also extremely smooth. There was one person sitting in front, back and left and right of the table. Chen Zeqing naturally sat in the main seat, Chen Xiansong sat opposite them, while Huilian and Bai Qianxin sat on both sides of the table.

In the guest seat further away, there was a middle-aged woman sitting with a golden hairpin on her head and a long green silk dress, wrapping herself tightly, except for her hands and face, no flesh was exposed at all. In contrast, Bai Qianxin's body exposed her shoulders and then a small part of her majestic white peaks showed her clothes, which was simply a destruction of the social atmosphere.

The woman had a faint crow's feet at the corner of her eyes, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Huilian. She was staring at Huilian with a loving look. Looking at her expression, Chen Xiansong knew that she must be Huilian's mother. Although the woman's gaze was very enthusiastic, Huilian lowered her head and did not respond to her at all.

Four cups of tea were placed in front of each of the four of them, and the white water vapor rose from the cup, and then it was like a light cloud dispersed. Chen Zeqing sat in the main seat, silent. He was still a little confused now. Huilian was married to the barbarian land by the clan leader, and finally got a salt road. Of course, he secretly gained a lot of benefits, but not many people knew about it.

There are many dangerous places in the barbarians. Huilian probably has to go through a lot of experience. She is a lady in a wealthy place. Even if she luckily arrives in the barbarians, life is miserable, and it is most likely that it will be difficult for her to come back. Chen Ze made preparations for his father and daughter to be separated from each other from now on. Although he was a little sad, compared with the benefits he secretly obtained, the sadness was like a lice on an elephant, not worth mentioning.

If the grief between father and daughter is sad, then letting him spit out the benefits he has obtained will cost him his life. Chen Guanghai, the third son of the Chen family, told him last night that he had seen Huilian in Heluo City. And she seemed to have been stolen by a scholar from the Chen family.

This news almost shocked him. The border areas of Zhendan Kingdom have always had the custom of robbing relatives. Women who get married on the road are often snatched away by some forces. At this time, the suffering person can only bite his teeth and swallow them in his stomach. Given the Zhendan Kingdom's conservative style of the nearly harsh conservative trend of women, Huilian has no "future". Even if a woman who has lost her innocence is her greatest value, she is the kind of woman who has noble guests who will go to bed when she comes. To a certain extent, she is not as good as a maid.

Of course, this matter was not a big deal for Chen Zeqing. At most, he was a little angry and sighing that his daughter had suffered such bad luck, but he soon discovered a very serious problem. If Huilian did not continue to stay with her husband of the barbarians and instead became a concubine for the scholar, the benefits of the barbarians would be completely gone, which would make him find such a good "business" in the future, after all, he only had one daughter.

So he went to the old Chen family in the morning. He first came to see what Chen Guanghai said, but secondly, he wanted to take Huilian home and ask what happened. He hoped that she would still be innocent. It would be okay to send it to the barbarians like this. But he didn't expect that Huilian, who has always been well-behaved, contradicted him in public, making him unable to get out of the stage.

After returning home, Chen Zeqing was so angry that he almost couldn't have lunch. However, his wife seemed very happy when she heard that Huilian was still in Heluo City. She kept crying for her daughter's marriage to the barbarian land.

Chen Zeqing wanted to get his daughter back, but the Chen family was difficult to deal with. It had more than two thousand years of foundation. It involved a lot of things, and even the royal family did not dare to move this family casually. After thinking about it for a noon, he felt that he had to rely on the power of the family, but he did not expect that his daughter would actually bring the "married husband" to the house.

He went out angrily, followed by a group of aunts and ladies watching the fun. Although they were behind, the whispering was really troublesome. Chen Zeqing didn't even have to think about it. He knew what kind of vision those women were looking at him, which made him very annoyed. In the big family, the most important thing was face. If you couldn't even raise your head in front of your relatives, how could you earn face for yourself outside in the future.

Chen Zeqing planned to take his daughter home this time and then use the family method, but unexpectedly, a scholar who was very elegant, with red lips and white teeth, obviously from a big family called him respectfully: Father-in-law.

Until now, Chen Zeqing wanted to laugh a little. Not only was he shocked at that time, but almost all the aunts and sisters were scared. Huilian actually married a scholar, and the scholar didn't care about her identity. The word "father-in-law" is not a random call, this is very good, very good!

So at this time, Chen Zeqing stared at his daughter with some slutiness, very satisfied with her "motivation". Then he looked at Chen Xiansong again, and was even more satisfied. A son-in-law of a scholar often could take advantage of a lot of power. The most important thing is that this scholar seemed to be from the Chen family.

Although the Xiao Chen family and the Old Chen family are somewhat inconsistent, as long as the interests are consistent, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.

"Son-in-law, I don't know your name yet?" Chen Zeqing was silent for a while. He took the initiative to speak. After all, according to the rules of the Zhendan Kingdom, when the son-in-law meets his wife and elders for the first time, he must first bow and then ask the elders. During this period, he cannot speak actively, and he must answer whatever the elders ask.

"Chen Xiansong."

Chen Zeqing nodded with satisfaction. In this way, the son-in-law would have to be better than the son-in-law of the barbarians. Even if the benefits obtained by the barbarians are lost, it doesn't matter. It's just forty gold coins a month, and it's forty years to be paid for for five years. Compared with a son-in-law, it's really nothing.

If Chen Xiansong and Huilian knew about this, they would definitely be speechless, while Huilian would be even more depressed. A year ago, Huilian might have felt that there were already a lot of forty gold coins per month, but after seeing the boxes of gold coins piled up in the Graystone Village, with a total amount of more than 300,000 yuan, Huilian's vision also widened. Forty gold coins are not enough for the little guy's pocket money for a month.

However, Chen Zeqing was still a little strange: "As far as I know, the younger generation of the Chen family should be of the 'family' generation. For example, there is a person named Chen Jialuo who is very famous. And I have never heard of the birth of a scholar in the Chen family. A virtuous son-in-law. Can you tell me the reason?"

"I'm a little special." Chen Xiansong thought for a while and could only answer like this.

"Oh, I understand." Chen Zeqing recalled the stories he had seen in the family tree before, and probably "understand" that Chen Xiansong was secretly protected by the family. Many aristocratic families would do this. After all, every aristocratic family has enemies. If the other party was crazy and attacked the young scholar, it would be too late to take the medicine for regret.

Chen Xiansong didn't know what his father-in-law "understands", but he didn't need to explain it too much, which was very good.

"Since Xianmei is a scholar, I must be good at all areas. I don't know which aspect is more proficient in it."

"I am personally good at pictures and calligraphy." Chen Xiansong smiled: "I also know some other messy knowledge. I can say that many things are clear, but I am not very good at it."

Chen Zeqing didn't care when he heard this. The advantage of scholars was that they accumulated knowledge, and young scholars generally did not do much. But as time passed, as they grew older and matured, scholars would burst out with powerful power. They had strong insight or had strong knowledge re-structuring ability, and a person could often support a big family. And they were invincible.

The only ones who can deal with scholars are scholars, which is the norm that the Zhendan Kingdom has always believed in. Therefore, in the court, all the confidential positions are scholars, and the big bosses in the cabinet can only be served by scholars. Logically, those who think deeply in the soul, that is, scholars cannot hold important positions in state institutions. However, since more than two thousand years ago, Yan Sheng led the Zhendan Kingdom to fight a battle with the Sun God servant, the Zhendan Kingdom has never paid attention to this ban. Their soul-skinned thoughtful people have formed a series of their own, and according to Yan Sheng's last wish, their title was changed to "Scholar".

"Xianmei, I am very happy that you can come to your house as a guest. But I have a hard time now and I urgently need a talent like you to help solve it. Can you help me with an idea?"

"|Father-in-law please tell me!"

Chen Zeqing glanced at Huilian and then said, "Thirteen should have married to the barbarian land. But since he was kidnapped by his son-in-law halfway, this is fate and cause and condition. I have always believed in ghosts and gods. Since this is God's arrangement, I have nothing to say, but the problem is also here. Huilian married to the barbarian land. The barbarians there promised to send 60 gold coins to my family every month. The betrothal gift money has been paid for almost a year and has not been stopped. But since you have become my son-in-law, it seems that the money for this matter may be almost broken. I don't know what good way does a son-in-law have to make the betrothal money not decrease."

Chen Zeqing immediately increased the benefits he received from the clan leader every month by half.

This is a gift of gold. Huilian lowered her head, pinching a white handkerchief with both hands, and her face turned bluer. Fortunately, she lowered her head, and no one saw it. She really hated her father more and more now. The reason why she was the first time her son-in-law came to her house was to ask for money.

Chen Xiansong also realized Bai Huilian's previous feelings at this time. It was really good to have such a father, such a big brother, who was a younger sister, and she was not angry to death. Sixty gold coins a month were just drizzle for him, and it was not a big deal, but he didn't want to get involved with Chen Zeqing too much. Once such a father-in-law knew his real "property", he would only become more and more greedy. He could see that this was a greedy person.

"I heard from Huilian that my father-in-law is best at eating business?" Chen Xiansong asked with a smile.

"That's it!" Chen Zeqing curled his long black beard and smiled: "I am taking care of the best restaurant in Heluo City. I account for 60% of the market. In addition, there are two restaurants in the south and north of the city, which I built and have a good business. There are several dishes in it, and only I have the recipe, which others can't imitate."

Chen Xiansong nodded: "It just so happens that I also know a drink recipe called milk tea, which has a unique flavor. I wonder if my father-in-law has heard of it?"

"Oh, that's not true." When Chen Zeqing heard about food, he became curious and did not put on his father-in-law's airs: "If the son-in-law knows, can he explain to me the taste and color of this drink in detail?"

Chen Xiansong immediately said the taste of the milk tea, but Chen Zeqing was very moved after hearing this: "Son-in-law, listen to your opinion, do you understand the way to make this milk tea? Can you teach my father-in-law a little? If there is a drink with this kind of taste in my restaurant, it will be even more powerful."

"This prescription is one of the secrets of my clan." Chen Xiansong replied slowly: "It's okay to teach my father-in-law, but the clan will definitely blame me. From then on, Huilian and I want to come to visit us again and see my father-in-law, which is almost impossible."

Chen Zeqing hesitated for less than three seconds, and then laughed: "I know that the son-in-law is busy with business and cannot come often. I can understand, I can understand."

Huilian's mother heard this, she smiled bitterly, then stood up, Yingying said with a polite voice: "Husband, and son-in-law, I suffered from a cold last night, and now I seem to have relapsed. I feel a little dizzy. I won't chat with you anymore. I want to go back and rest for a while, so I'm rude."

At this time, Huilian, who had a pale face, also stood up and said, "Mother, I will help you see the house. I haven't seen you for a year. My daughter has been trying to say something to her mother."

After the two women entered the inner room, Chen Zeqing also entered his study and then picked up the pen and paper from it. Chen Xiansong wrote out the method of making milk tea in detail and handed it to Chen Zeqing's hand. As soon as the latter took the paper, he saw it and shouted: "Good words, good words."

Chen Xiansong is good at calligraphy and his handwriting is beautiful. Chen Zeqing took a few glances and was about to put away the secret recipe. When he looked carefully at night, he saw a group of people walking outside the door. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a gray-black robe with a few dark gold silk patterns on it. Although he looked very low-key, he would find that this man was dressing very luxuriously.

A white jade bun, a dark gold-edged robe, and a Garfield leather boot. The outfit has no 100 gold coins, and it must be at least eighty. Chen Zeqing also wants to wear this outfit, and he can afford it, but he dare not wear it. As long as this outfit, only the head of the Chen family can wear it.

"Brother, why are you free to come to me?" Chen Zeqing stood up, a little surprised.

The young man walked into the house, looked at Chen Xiansong, and then replied: "I heard that Huilian's husband came to the door, so how could he not come to see it? I was very curious about who it was, who dared to steal the woman from our Chen family in the barbarian land, and ran to the door openly..."
