Chapter 74: Peace of mind, first-class master
Chen Kuang was stunned for a moment, then hummed softly.
Gantang smiled happily and took him to visit the entire Chen Mansion. He also told him that his room had been kept in the mansion and she would clean it once a month.
This room is located in the east wing, in a separate courtyard. It is obviously the treatment of the eldest son with a very high status.
There are also rules for the layout of rooms in large families. The east wing is usually given to the eldest son. If there is not enough room for a large family, the young master will be in the east wing and the lady in the west wing.
For example, Wang Xizhi's famous allusion about a quick son-in-law in the east bed actually does not mean that he is lying on the bed in the east, but in the bed in the east wing.
Otherwise, is it possible that the children of the Wang family, who share the world with Wang and Ma, live in Datongbu and have separate beds in the east and west in the room? It is obviously unreasonable.
Chen Kuang's younger brothers and sisters all live in the west wing.
And only the east wing, which had been vacant for thirteen years, was left to him.
"Crunch——"
Gantang led him through the yard, opened the door, and saw a clean and bright room. It looked like someone was constantly cleaning it, so it was as clean as new.
Although it is not necessarily Gan Tang who is responsible for everything, she seems to be familiar with the roads, and she must have come here often as she said.
"Look, my mother sewed this for you."
Gantang walked to the bed and picked up a stuffed doll placed on the quilt: "When you were a child, like a girl, you liked to play with these, so my mother would sew them for you."
"After you left, my mother sewed a new one for you every year on your birthday. There are thirteen of them in total, waiting for you to give them to you when you come back."
Chen Kuang took it over and saw that the doll looked almost the same as the one that had been preserved until the city was destroyed. The only difference was that the fabric was changed to brocade and the stuffing was changed from simple torn cotton wool to spice seeds. It looked too delicate.
If I say in my heart that I am not touched, that would be a lie.
In his previous life, his relatives died young, and he spent his whole life trying to settle his grievances until he died.
At this moment, Gantang said "I will support you for another hundred and thirty years" and handed over a brand new stuffed doll. Although it could not repay everything, it finally made his heart heal a little bit.
Chen Kuang squeezed the puppet in his hand tightly and could feel the rejection from his original body gradually dissipating.
However, how long it will take for there to be no grudges, Chen Kuang thinks it still depends on the attitude of the family...
Until then, let him take advantage of this guilt.
Chen Kuang deliberately let his emotions go, because he saw that Chen Ronggantang was still brooding about what happened back then, and only by letting them feel like a stick in their throats and letting them try their best to make amends could Chu Wenruo and others be guaranteed to the maximum extent.
of safety.
The Chen family now has quite a reputation, which is convenient for him.
"By the way, where are my brothers and sisters? How have they been these past years?"
Gantang carefully led Chen Kuang out of the wing and sat down on the stone table and chairs in the yard.
Chen Kuang put down the dragon gum on his back and asked: "What happened after we separated that year that our family became prosperous? When I came here earlier, I seemed to have heard someone say that our family now has some relationship with Caobang?"
Gantang recounted to him: "At that time, relying on...that bucket of rice, the four members of the family managed to survive until the second month. Later, my father sent someone to help, and we finally got through it."
Later, Chen Rong went to work at the dock. By chance, he discovered that his friend who had been fishing together was now a small leader in Caogang. With this connection, he started a freight business.
After doing this, it got out of hand. Now he has three trading companies, thousands of acres of fertile land rented to tenants, and everyone at Dongting Hunan Pier knows about the Chen family.
The connection with Caobang has also become closer.
"Your brother is now the president of the South Pier branch in Caogang, and he is very respected by the gang leader."
Gantang said: "There's nothing much to say about your sister. She doesn't love Nuhong and loves reading. She has a reputation as a talented girl in the East Courtyard, but she doesn't know when she will be willing to marry."
Although she said this, her love was beyond words, and she boasted more than she complained.
Chen Kuang has a younger brother and younger sister, named Chen An and Chen Ning respectively.
Openness, peace and tranquility, it can be seen that Chen Rong and Gan Tang's original expectation for their three children was nothing more than to be open-minded and peaceful, and to live a carefree life.
But it's a pity that things didn't go as planned.
"oh?"
Chen Kuang stroked the strings and thought: "To be respected by the Caobang, does that mean that Chen An is now a practitioner?"
Gantang nodded: "The Chen family's current status is mainly because of An'er..."
She hesitated for a moment, as if she was afraid that Chen Kuang would be unbalanced.
Chen Kuang said with a smile: "Mom, even though I was sold out voluntarily, I didn't wish anything bad for my family. If he succeeds, I won't be happy before it's too late."
Gan Tang said quickly: "An'er is indeed a practitioner, and my mother doesn't understand it, but I heard from them that she has opened her eight orifices, and she is one of the first-class masters in the world."
Eight orifices?
Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows.
…
Jishao County is famous for its water transportation, and the water transportation in the county is centered on Dongting Lake.
Therefore, the Cao gang, which controls the boatmen, fishermen, and docks and ferries along the Dongting coast, is a well-known power in Jishao County.
The bigness here does not only refer to the bigness in the eyes of ordinary people.
Among practitioners, the Cao Gang is still a behemoth with many interest chains involved. Its gang leader Fan Hailong is at the peak of the Climbing Tower Realm and can overwhelm the ordinary sects in Jishao County.
Although Fengyu Tower has Wu Sheng Pavilion as its backstage, strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, and Fengyu Tower basically does not care about secular affairs. In Jishao County, the Cao Gang is naturally the leader.
Even the county governor has to give Fan Hailong some face, let alone the boatmen and fishermen below.
In their eyes, being able to join Caobang's side is already a great figure.
If you can become a high-ranking member of the Cao Gang, you will be a big boss who needs to bow when you meet him.
Chen An, the young master of the Chen family from South Pier, is such a character.
"Brother Chen, someone is looking for you at home and they want you to go home now."
A member of the Cao Gang ran to Chen An and said quickly: "It seems to be what Mr. Chen means."
Chen An is seventeen years old, dressed in green and black clothes, with a figure as slender and powerful as a tiger and leopard, and a fierce and fierce temperament between his raised eyebrows.
He crossed his arms, holding a long sword in his right hand, and was counting the goods on a cargo ship.
Next to him, the owner of the cargo ship kept nodding and bowing to ensure that there was no problem with his cargo, and said with a flattering smile:
"Mr. Chen, I've been shipping this cargo back and forth for three years, and there's absolutely no problem. I paid an extra 30% for the docking fee this time. I'll just use it as tea money for you."
All water transportation related matters are under the control of the Caobang. All ships passing through Dongting Lake will naturally be inspected and...exploited by the Caobang.
How much cargo you want to transport and how much cargo you can transport all require Caobang's permission.
And those that can be operated are all doorways.
If you want more luck, just add money.
Otherwise, if you want to smuggle it privately without the help of Caobang people, and you have to cross the huge Dongting Lake, don't worry about encountering water bandits on the way, and you will lose both your life and money.
Hearing this, Chen An turned his head and narrowed his eyes: "My dad? Why did you come to me at this time?"
The member of the Cao Gang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The person who sent the message is mysterious, but he is indeed a servant of the Chen family that I have met before."
He added: "It seems that I also took Miss Chen, who is in private school, home."
Chen An was really surprised now: "The little sister has also been taken back? What is so important..."
He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart when he thought about the recent turmoil in Dongting Lake, especially the terrifying scene yesterday of a sword coming from the west, and the two Cao gang members who died in the reed marsh for no reason.
As soon as the education officer arrived, there was already an atmosphere of impending storm in Jishao County.
At this time, his family was suddenly anxious to ask him to go back, which naturally made him wary.
"Okay, I'll go back first. It's not peaceful recently, so brothers should be careful when doing things."
Chen An gave instructions and turned to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the owner of the cargo ship quickly said: "Hey, Mr. Chen, what should I do? Please give me a guarantee!"
Chen An paused and said calmly: "If I were you, I should take the opportunity to run away now."
The owner of the cargo ship was shocked and said hurriedly: "I paid for the tea..."
"Back to you."
Without looking back, Chen An took out a gold ingot between his two fingers and flicked it back.
"Whoosh——"
The energy exploded, and the gold ingot suddenly flew through the air. Its momentum was like a rainbow, and in an instant, a big hole was opened in the cabin of the cargo ship.
Among the piles of sacks, there was some snow-white color in the grain flowing out.
Private salt!
Chen An said to his men: "I want to find out who gave him the courage to transport refined salt without permission!"
The owner of the cargo ship looked ashen and collapsed to the ground.
