1012 Come to the door, Gan is the chess piece of Uncle Jiuhuang
The Nine Emperors Uncles and the Chen family are smart people, and the Chen family did live up to the Nine Emperors Uncles' evaluation. That morning, the head of the Chen family came with the eldest son of the Chen family, but they knew their identities and did not ask to see the Nine Emperors Uncles.
, I just asked my servant to transfer a generous gift.
The status gap between officials and businessmen is there. Jiuhuangshu is not an ordinary official. The Chen family is not qualified to meet Jiuhuangshu at all. It is really smart for them not to ask for permission and not show their master's style.
The Chen family is just a businessman, and the Nine Emperors Uncle lives in the Chen family's garden. It is an honor for the Chen family. The Chen family wants to be the master of the house and pays a visit rashly. Although the Nine Emperors Uncle meets him, he definitely doesn't like it.
"It's indeed transparent." Uncle Nine Emperors looked at the gift box without any intention of opening it, and kept tapping the table with his fingers.
"Don't you want to see what's inside?" Feng Qingchen put his hands on his chin, looking bored.
"It's just a gift. It doesn't matter if you look at it or not." The gift was just a gesture. Uncle Nine Emperors didn't take the gift from the Chen family to heart at all. It was just something valuable.
"You can see the other person's thoughts through the gifts they give you. Can you guess what the Chen family gave you and what they asked for?" The Chen family did not hesitate to risk offending the Lu family and caught up with them.
Trying to please the Nine Emperors Uncle, but if you don’t ask for anything, then that’s a ghost.
The Nine Emperors Uncle had not yet noticed the Chen family. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was very interested, he lazily said: "What the Chen family sends must be flashy things."
"None of the gifts you received along the way were flashy." Feng Qingchen muttered dissatisfiedly, strongly suspecting that Uncle Nine Emperors was teasing her and was not serious at all.
Uncle Nine Emperors said again: "The Chen family's etiquette is more flashy than those people's."
"Really?" Feng Qingchen raised her eyebrows, and then she believed that Uncle Nine Emperors was serious.
"If you don't believe it, open it and take a look."
Feng Qingchen was doubtful, so he opened the box and took a look. The things inside were indeed as flashy and expensive as Uncle Nine Emperors had said. Even Feng Qingchen couldn't help but sigh: "The Chen family is so generous."
The gifts received along the way were not small, but all the gifts put together were not as valuable as those from the Chen family. No wonder Feng Qingchen was so surprised.
Uncle Nine Emperors was not surprised and said with a smile: "So, the Chen family will ask for more."
Businessmen pursue profit, and they will not do business at a loss.
"Then will you agree to the Chen family's request?" Feng Qingchen calmly closed the box.
Although the Chen family's gifts were luxurious, they were still far from enough to make Feng Qingchen's heart flutter.
"Promise? Promise? What do I want to promise the Chen family?" Uncle Nine Emperors said innocently: "The Chen family's gift is the Chen family's intention, and it is his honor for me to accept it. Qingchen, you don't think that
Do I have to do something after receiving the gift? Who do you think I am? Besides, even if I am willing to help the Chen family, I still need the courage of the Chen family to ask for it."
Jiuhuangshu's principle has always been to accept gifts as gifts and handle matters as they should, and never mix things up.
"Uh..." Feng Qingchen was speechless. Uncle Nine Emperors was right. This generous gift from the Chen family was just a gesture of goodwill. Accepting it, Uncle Nine Emperors just expressed his acceptance of the Chen family's overtures. He wanted Nine Emperors to let this go.
My uncle helped the Chen family and agreed to let the Chen family board Nine Emperors Uncle's boat. Then the Chen family was too naive.
"Dad, will your Uncle Nine Emperors accept the gift from us?" On the carriage, both father and son of the Chen family looked serious. The eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Ming, couldn't help but asked anxiously.
"Why don't you accept it?" The head of the Chen family raised his head slightly, and his eyes met the eldest son of the Chen family. His deep eyes were less sharp than usual, and more sad.
"So, our Chen family has no worries? Has Uncle Nine Emperors accepted us?" Chen Ming did not see the sadness in his father's eyes and said excitedly.
Although the Chen family has paid a lot, if they can catch the Nine Emperors Uncle's ship, it will all be worth it.
"No." The head of the Chen family took a deep breath and shook his head: "Ming'er, don't think about things too simply. Uncle Nine Emperors is willing to accept our gift, which only means that Uncle Nine Emperors knows that there is a person in Shandong.
Chen family, we are still nothing in the eyes of Uncle Nine Emperors."
It would be too naive to ask Uncle Nine Emperors to take care of the Chen family based on this. Businessmen are all treacherous and greedy for profit. In fact, those who are officials are called cannibals without spitting out the bones, but they still have to go up poles and give them to others.
"How is it possible? What we are gifting is Huayuan, one of the best courtyards in Dongling. It can be said to be priceless. How could Uncle Nine Emperors still ignore us like that?" The eldest son of the Chen family thinks that they are gifting them a gift.
Giving heavy gifts should be different from others in Jiuhuangshu's mind. By accepting the gift, Jiuhuangshu accepted them.
"Ming'er, you are too naive. For our Chen family, Huayuan is our ancestral property. For people from Shandong, this is the most elegant garden in Shandong. But in the eyes of Uncle Jiuhuang, this Huayuan is just a place where he lives temporarily.
No matter how nice or luxurious it is, Jiuhuangshu will not stay in Shandong for a long time. To Jiuhuangshu, Huayuan is just a flashy garden. Say goodbye to Huayuan, it is because we dedicated the Chen family to Jiuhuangshu.
You won’t notice it, don’t forget that Uncle Nine Emperors is a prince and someone we can’t reach.”
The words of the head of the Chen family left Chen Ming speechless. It took him a long time to say calmly: "Father, if that's the case, then why did you give Huayuan to Uncle Nine Emperors?"
The head of the Chen family laughed and said: "Tomorrow, Huayuan is not just a garden, it represents our Chen family. This is why the Governor put pressure on me from all sides and refused to sell the Huayuan family even if it offered a sky-high price.
The garden can be given away, but it will never be resold unless the Chen family is dead.
Jiuhuangshu despises Huayuan, but Huayuan has a different meaning to our Chen family. I gave the Chen family’s most precious Huayuan to Jiuhuangshu. This shows that as long as Jiuhuangshu is willing, our Chen family is willing to do anything for Jiuhuangshu.
.”
At this point, the head of the Chen family paused for a moment and sighed heavily before continuing: "Tomorrow, Huayuan is the ancestral property of the Chen family and a symbol of the Chen family. I would rather destroy it than let Huayuan fall to Lu."
The hand of the family. I gave Huayuan to the Nine Emperors Uncle as a gesture. If our Chen family can give our ancestral inheritance to the Nine Emperors Uncle, then there is nothing else we can’t give to the Nine Emperors Uncle.”
"Dad, what you mean is that Huayuan is our Chen family's certificate of submission to the Nine Emperors Uncle, which means that our Chen family is willing to be used by the Nine Emperors Uncle, rather than asking for anything from the Nine Emperors Uncle." Chen Ming asked carefully.
The leader of the Chen family: "Offering Huayuan represents the determination of our Chen family. As long as the Nine Emperors Uncle is willing, our Chen family will follow the Nine Emperors Uncle and be a chess piece in the Nine Emperors Uncle's hands. We will work hard without complaining. Our Chen family can only
You want to do things for Uncle Nine Emperors, but you don’t ask Uncle Nine Emperors to take care of you."
The head of the Chen family closed his eyes weakly. If he hadn't been forced too hard, how could he have taken such a risk?
The chess pieces brought to his door were always ignored, but at this time he had no choice. If he wanted to compete with the governor and the Lu family in Shandong, he had to find a bigger tree. Uncle Nine Emperors was the Chen family's only choice.
"Dad, isn't this too dangerous? Uncle Nine Emperors is the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor. He..." Chen Ming did not say the following words, but both father and son understood.
In such a position, he is not an idle prince. If Uncle Nine Emperors doesn't have any ideas, no one will believe him.
The head of the Chen family gave a strange smile: "Ming'er, you have to learn a lot to gain wealth in danger. If you are a powerless and idle prince, I, the Chen family, will not look down on you."
It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. The Chen family has paid such a high price, so of course they will not get what they want.
Chen Ming took a breath when he thought of his father's plan, but when he thought of the huge benefits it would bring, the blood in his body was boiling...
Just as Uncle Nine Emperors thought, what the Chen family wants is not...
