But after Liu Xiangqin came to tell him that dozens of carts of gold and silver had been delivered, he immediately responded with anger and congratulations, his attitude changed drastically, and he dragged Zhao Gongming to condescend to meet with Ren Pijiang in person.
Ren Pijiang doesn't have such a big reputation, mainly because the gold and silver reputation is too big.
"Xiao Chen, look at you, you really don't know etiquette. People come all the way to see you, why don't you prepare a banquet and receive them well? Otherwise, you can go to my place. Isn't everything ready-made?
Arrived? Uh-huh, so and so, tell Fatty Hu and ask him to bring over all his specialty dishes, this is a distinguished guest!"
Xiao Chen looked on with cold eyes, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself, old man, you are just a money addict! Is it because you are so enthusiastic when you see someone giving you money?
"Junior generation pays homage to Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhao. People outside Nanyang have heard of the names of these two elders. How lucky we are to see you today!" Ren Bijiang saluted solemnly and pretended to kneel down. The two of them hurriedly said no.
Dare, please get up quickly, please sit down quickly...
Huh? Why does this young man look so familiar?
He looks like a younger version of Li Wanjiang!
Ren Bijiang is fourteen or fifteen years old, which is when he is growing vigorously. He will change his appearance in a year and a half, and now he has a black beard stubble on his lips.
Moreover, before he was on the island, he put on makeup and powder and dressed up carefully, so he looked fair and pink. Now that he has traveled far away and been exposed to the wind and sun on the boat, his face has been tanned, and he looks like
More like Li Wanjiang!
Chen Jisheng and Zhao Gongming can be regarded as people who have seen the big world and experienced big storms. Even if Mount Tai collapsed before their eyes, they would not change their expressions, but it is difficult for them to be shocked and frightened by trivial things.
But now the two of them were shocked. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, and then looked at Xiao Chen together. Xiao Chen shrugged, saying don't look at me, I don't know what's going on yet.
…
But both of them were extremely experienced. Although they were anxious and suspicious, they still talked and laughed freely. After chatting politely with Ren Bijiang for a few words, they resigned and took the first step.
But he didn't go to bed. Instead, he went back to Chen Jisheng's room to drink tea and wait for that brat Xiao Chen to explain to them!
"It's rare for you to come to Pijiang, so don't leave in a hurry. Let Xiao Ye and Yun Yi take you for a while. You guys are similar in age and like each other. It's time to get close to each other. I don't care.
Anyway, you kid can live here for a year and a half and then we can discuss it!" Xiao Chen was extremely enthusiastic.
"That's exactly what I meant." It was rare for Ren Pijiang to travel far away, so of course he wanted to play for a few more days. Besides, when he was leaving, his aunt just told him to be careful on the road, but she didn't give him a time limit for his return.
Ren Tiantang also told him his true identity. The two were actually not mother and son, but aunt and nephew. He did not feel too shocked after hearing this.
Because of his careful thinking, he had already sensed clues from Ren Tiantang's words and some strange actions, but since his aunt didn't say anything, he didn't mention it.
"Where's Aunt Ling'er?" Ren Bijiang had already identified Ling'er as his aunt, but he still called Xiao Chen Brother Xiao.
Xiao Chen said that Ling'er was keeping vigil for her master in Emei, and she would probably be back in a month or two. Just wait for her here, and you wouldn't leave anyway...
By the way, is there any message from Island Master Ren that you can bring to me?
Has she recovered physically after recovering from a serious illness? Didn't she say when she would come to Yanyun to play?
There is no message, I just want to say hello to Brother Xiao. You are in very good health, so I don’t have to worry about you, Brother Xiao. But Paradise Island cannot do without her, so I’m afraid she won’t be able to come for a while.
If Brother Xiao is free, you are welcome to go...
If you don't have time, forget it. After all, it's too far away, and Brother Xiao, you are so busy.
The answer was polite, but Xiao Chen felt a hint of coldness in his tone, just like the cold look on the fat man when he told Guan Qiji about Ouyang Yunxiu before...
I thought to myself, this kid is so shrewd, he probably already knows about the ambiguous relationship between me and his aunt!
It seems that it would be better to mention Ren Tiantang as little as possible in front of him in the future... He changed the subject with a haha, and let them go to bed early after dinner. It was a hard journey. Let's talk about anything tomorrow.
As soon as Ren Pijiang and Morag were sent away, two old men, Chen Jisheng and Zhao Gongming, strolled over with their hands behind their backs. After coming in, they sat down and stared at Xiao Chen silently.
"Old man, you should be happy now, right? Ren Tiantang has sent a lot of money, which has solved our urgent need! But you must know that Ren Tiantang only sent the money because of his friendship with me."
Xiao Chen asks for credit first and then talks about it.
And I hinted to the old man that my relationship with Ren Tiantang was not just about coveting her beauty, but also about her money. I would like to ask you, young man, whether I am good at eating this bowl of soft rice?
"What's going on with Ren Bijiang?" Chen Jisheng was not happy, his face was extremely gloomy. It wasn't that he blamed Xiao Chen, but that this matter was too weird.
"I was just about to tell you about this." Xiao Chen took a long breath, "It's a long story. Old Zhao, I have to give you an errand. Please help me.
Find out the origin of Xiao Xiangyu and find out who her old lover is. Could it be Ren Tiantang’s sister? If so..."
If so, then Ren Pijiang may really be Li Wanjiang's biological son!
But even if not, Ren Pijiang may be Li Wanjiang's son.
Everything is possible, there are so many possibilities!
A person like Li Wanjiang must have more than one confidante. Now he is suffering from "dragon body discomfort", but he was still lively and vigorous before.
It is said that she was very romantic when she was young, so it was inevitable that she would be merciful.
Now there are several questions we must clarify. First, whether Ren Pijiang is Li Wanjiang's son; second, who is the common lover of Xiao Xiangyu and Li Wanjiang.
Third, Xiao Xiangyu and Ren Tiantang both know that they are fake eunuchs, and Xiao Xiangyu even knows that she is the former prince, so they must estimate their harmfulness.
If there is any harm, how big will it be? How should it be dealt with appropriately?
"What if." Chen Jisheng pondered, "If Ren Pijiang is Li Wanjiang's son, then Ren Tiantang's harm to us will be extremely small, because if she was facing Li Wanjiang, she would not help us with such a large sum of money, let alone
If you will deliver Ren Pijiang to us, doesn't that mean you are making him a hostage?"
"Despite this, I think we should keep Ren Pijiang in our hands first. If he is really Li Wanjiang's son, he will be of great use in the future." Zhao Gongming said.
"As for that woman Xiaoxiangyu." Chen Jisheng frowned, "I don't know much about things in the world. Is her martial arts very high?"
"Master Chen, what do you mean..." Zhao Gongming said in his heart, I'm afraid you, Master Chen, think the same as me.
"What I mean is that if the mess is difficult to sort out, it's better to cut it off with a quick knife!" Chen Jisheng said.
