Xiao Chen's family has been bustling with people these past few days, and there is an endless stream of people coming to visit.
Because the case has been closed, he will not avoid suspicion. He will see everyone who comes and accept those who have no time to see. In Xiao Yu's words, boss, you have offended too many people, but you can't do it again.
Much more!
The damn fat man accepted the gift mercilessly, but he was still greedy. He secretly said that Xiao Chen would have a birthday in the next two days. He said it was a birthday, but in fact he wanted to use it to make money!
So when Zhu Xiaochuan, Wu Zhongze, Wu Zicheng, Wang Anbang, Lu Jing, Shao Wenzhao, Ma Wuming, and even Chen Wenqi sent people to send birthday gifts and asked when the birthday banquet would be held, Xiao Chen was still confused.
Do I have a birthday party?
It's not me, why didn't I know...
Besides, what kind of longevity should I have at such a young age?
Even after the emperor learned about it, he sent Gong Shouli to bring a reward of four-color birthday food, as well as the four words "Xiaocao Changchun" personally given by Yubi.
It was really dumbfounding to find out that the fat man was responsible.
You kid, do you want shame? You are shameless and I still want shame!
The fat man said that I am shameless and only want money. You kid, you don’t even want your life, so why do you need more face?
If I go with you, I will risk my life! Before I die, I have to get some money to leave to my dear Qianye Ling. When she gets married in the future, the dowry will be richer. As long as she lives a good life, I can rest in peace.
Already...
Since it is his birthday, the gifts given by everyone are extremely generous. I heard that Mr. Xiao is a rooster. He is made of pure gold and has different shapes and lifelike little roosters. He has received dozens of them. The lightest one is
There are more than thirty taels, and the heaviest one has more than a hundred taels!
Those who love Xiao Chen really love him, and those who hate Xiao Chen really hate him. But no matter whether they love him or hate him, they are all convinced by him.
This kid must say it or not, he does have extraordinary courage, and what he does is really interesting!
It was rumored that Xiao Chen and Qian Ruhai were not familiar with each other, but just because Qian Ruhai sent people thousands of miles to give him gifts every year, he came to help Qian Ruhai when he was in danger!
Jiangdong and Yanyun are so far apart, and Qian Ruhai knows how to give him gifts. Now that he is in Fengyang, it would be silly if we don't take advantage of his birthday to make a good show and leave a place for the future.
Already.
Even though it costs a lot of gold and silver now, it will save lives in the future!
Qian Ruhai, who had suffered the most from Xiao Chenen, was now as miserable as a bereaved dog. Wearing a green shirt, he was standing far away at the gate of Xiao Chen's house with the support of two government servants and his son Qian Zhen.
Looking at the endless flow of cars and horses, I didn't dare to enter.
He came here to thank Xiao Chen before he was escorted to Yanyun. When the two escort officials heard that he wanted to see Xiao Chen, they agreed without saying a word. They also kindly let him change out of his prison clothes and accompanied him.
Come.
When I arrived, I heard that Mr. Xiao was celebrating his birthday, and everyone came in with large and small packages of gifts, but I was empty-handed and didn't even have a greeting card, so I was really embarrassed to go in and see him.
Discuss with Qian Zhen, how about we just kowtow at the gate and leave? We are criminals, which is unlucky. It would be bad if we go in now and ruin Mr. Xiao's happy event.
But Xiao Chen was a life-saving grace to him, and the place he was assigned to was Yanyun County. It seemed that he should pay homage to his feelings and reasons, both public and private affairs...
While hesitating, the fat man who came out to see off his guests had sharp eyes and saw Qian Zhen from a distance. He immediately shouted, "What are you doing here, you boy? Are you trying to pick a fight with me again?"
"
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhen hurried over, bowed deeply and called him Fat Master.
"You're not so heartless, haha. I still like your original arrogant and domineering look." The fat man actually admired his courage. "If you don't come in, why are you standing here?"
When Qian Zhen said that his father had arrived, the fat man immediately said please. Xiao Chen happened to be there. Go in and see him. I won't accompany you. I'm still busy with guests. We'll see you in Yanyun County later...
Xiao Chen was arguing with Zhu Tianfu. Zhu Tianfu was very dissatisfied when he saw that he had accepted so many gifts. Prince, you are a person who wants to do big things. Why haven't big things been accomplished? It's shameless to do this first.
thing!
Is this the act of a hero to make money through his birthday?
What else did you say about buying people's hearts? Who is buying whom? Let me ask you.
Forget it if it’s just an ordinary gift. Damn, these are all real gold and silver. I’ve been here looking at them. Ang, you’ve received tens of thousands of taels of silver alone today, not counting other jewelry and silks.
…
People say that if you clear the prefecture in three years, you will get one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Oh my god, you can get one hundred thousand taels just for your birthday!
Is it too high-profile?
Xiao Chen said that I wanted to keep a low profile, but my strength didn’t allow it!
Besides, how can you refuse to accept gifts when they come? If you accept them, everyone will be happy, and friendship will be established. If you don't accept them, you will offend them all, and you will have a grudge from then on.
When you enter the country, you have to follow the local customs. When you become an official in the Zhou Dynasty, you have to follow the rules of their officialdom. Otherwise, how can you get a foothold? If you break this rule, you will become the public enemy of all officials, and the consequences will be worse than being offended.
The emperor is still serious!
"Mr. Xiao's words really get to the root of this. The guilty officer is guilty, but he is also guilty of following the crowd... Qian Ruhai, thank you for saving your life!" But it was Qian Ruhai who came closer and knelt down towards Xiao Chen.
Down.
"So it's Mr. Qian?" Xiao Chen came over and helped him up personally, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
"It may seem like a trivial matter to an adult, but to a criminal, it can mean a lot of money and life." Qian Ruhai said, "It's just that even though I don't say thank you for my great kindness, it's hard to repay it."
Xiao Chen was very polite to him. He invited him into the room, asked him to sit down, and ordered him to serve tea. He did not treat him as a sinner.
"Where did they send Mr. Qian?" Xiao Chen asked casually.
"Sir, this is Xuanming County," Qian Ruhai said.
"Haha, this is really far away, but Xuanming is no longer a desolate place. You can go and do an errand in the county government office in Baili..." Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, Sir, it's different, criminals are sent there to do hard labor, how can they work in the yamen?" Qian Ruhai smiled bitterly.
"Isn't this nonsense? How old are you and how sick are you? What kind of hard work can you do?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Sir, it's the students who are doing the labor instead of their father." Qian Zhen, who was standing nearby, said hurriedly.
"You, a young master, can still do rough work?" Xiao Chen said.
"Sir, what has happened to us father and son? How dare you pick and choose?" Qian Zhen also smiled bitterly, "I am young and can do anything. I used to be well-dressed and well-fed, but now I am still alive eating chaffy vegetables.
, but strangely enough, my body feels a lot stronger after eating rough food."
After experiencing this catastrophe, Qian Zhen has been transformed, but he doesn't know it yet.
