After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 299 The First Meeting
I have to say that the old man deserves to be the old man. After all, he was an official in the court, and he can see the essence through the phenomenon at a glance, and he can easily draw a conclusion.

Now the old lady is not only interested in Chen Xingyan's personal ability, but also her vast network of contacts.

If it can be used by the Chen family, no matter whether it is Chen Xinglou who passed the imperial examination, or the children of other families, it will definitely benefit.

In other words, it wasn't just Chen Xingyan's ability to make money that Grandpa Chen was interested in.

In the eyes of the old man, there is no difference between a family wealth of ten thousand and one hundred thousand. He even looks down on businessmen from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Chen Xingyan is not considered a merchant at present, but money is the cheapest in the old man's eyes, and what he values ​​is the invisible huge wealth.

"Don't mention this matter to anyone. We are new here, and we still have to be careful about many things. You must restrain the female family members in your family, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds. Don't lose face to my Chen family."

"Yes, Grandpa, the concubine must restrain them well."

"What you and I discussed today, you must never mention it to a third person again. If you ruin my important matter, you can't afford it!"

The old lady's heart trembled, the old man's majesty for many years was quite scary.

"The concubine must keep this in mind, and never dare to speak rashly."

The old man nodded in satisfaction: "Except for the 2000 taels of silver, you can decide what to do. You must give the Lu family a good impression and let them know that we value Liu."

"clear."

Although the old lady was reluctant to part with the good things in her hand, she was not that short-sighted.

Now that the old man has explained the matter clearly to her, he naturally wants to think about how to benefit from Chen Xingyan.

This is like doing business. If you don't invest money in it, don't expect a huge profit return.

The old lady is well aware of the old man's scheming skills, today he just gave up 2000 taels of silver, and what he can get from Liu Yatou in the future must be greater benefits.

Because of the old master's beating, all the female family members of the Chen family have a steelyard in their hearts.

No matter how favored Miss Seven was in the family before, now in Gaoyang County, she can't even compare to Miss Six's hair.

Who made Seventh Miss reconcile?
Who told her that her previous husband was from the Zhen family?
Who told her to plot against Miss Six before?

……

In short, everyone in the Chen family is like a mirror in their hearts, but no one can say it out loud.

It's just to save a little face for the old lady and wife.

When Lu Laohan and Wang Shi came to visit together, they saw a few juniors at the gate of the courtyard to welcome them.

This really made them a little flattered.

The Lu family is rich, so they are naturally willing to spend money on food and clothing.

Now that the two of them are wearing good clothes and accessories, coupled with the subtle influence of Chen Xingyan and Lou Nanny for a long time, the two of them really don't seem to be from peasant families.

Mrs. Chen was also shocked, seeing the behavior of the husband and wife, she couldn't get hooked on that muddy leg no matter what.

Both parties greeted each other one by one, and after saying a few words, Wang and Chen Xingyan were led to the inner courtyard, while Lu Daxiong was called to the study by the old man to talk.

Lu Daxiong had long heard Chen Xingyan say that her grandfather was an old fox in the officialdom, and when dealing with him, he had to be twelve times more energetic.

"Are you the inspector of Qingshui Town now?"

"Back to my grandfather, my grandson-in-law is not talented, so I was lucky enough to get a job and barely make ends meet."

The old man nodded, knowing that this person is a famous tiger-fighting hero in Gaoyang County, and he has made meritorious deeds in the county many times, and won the favor of County Magistrate Li. Seeing that he can still be so humble now, he feels a little satisfied point.

"Are you able to study recently?"

"I read books on the art of war, and some of them were found from the capital thanks to my third uncle."

The old man nodded again, looking at him with a little more surprise.

Originally, the old man looked down on him. Although the Lu family is no longer mud-legged, Lu Daxiong in his impression is a brash man.

I thought he was illiterate, just an idiot with brute strength.

Unexpectedly, he could read and write, and was even studying the art of war.

A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, if he got along well, he would find a way to plan a thing or two for the grandson-in-law, but it would be worthwhile.

"When I first arrived in Gaoyang County, I didn't know much about the customs here. However, I have heard the name of Qingshui Town many times, and even heard people praise you for managing Qingshui Town very well."

"It's all those fellow villagers who are flattering me. In fact, I just did my job well."

The old man's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Well said! How many people don't understand their own duty nowadays, but you can keep your original intention."

"Don't dare, grandpa won the prize."

The old man has also studied the art of war. Although he is not very proficient, he is not ignorant.

Immediately thinking about it, I thought about taking the first and second exams.

The old man originally just wanted to give him a try. After all, studying the art of war and studying the art of war are really two different things.

As a result, when I asked him this question, I found that he was actually able to reveal some tactics of war silently, and when he talked about the way of using troops, he was even more penetrating. It was really a big surprise for the old man.

"Have you ever thought about being a martial artist?"

Lu Daxiong was stunned for a moment: "You mean to let me make military achievements?"

"Hehe, you have been in the barracks for ten years, and you have personally experienced the war. The old man asked you, have you ever made any meritorious service in the army?"

Lu Daxiong was silent.

Can't take this.

His credit has been snatched away by others, can this be said?

So what?

Now that the Chen family can't protect themselves, how can they still take care of him?

Besides, the Chen family is following the path of civil servants, so they have nothing to do with military generals.

After all, the old man has been in the officialdom for decades, how can he not see what he thinks?
"I see you are hesitant, but have you ever been taken credit for your work?"

Lu Daxiong's heart tightened at the moment, and he didn't dare to relax any more.

"It's true, but later General Song once asked me to join his command again, but I refused."

The old man's eyes widened: "General Song? But General Weiyuan?"

Lu Daxiong nodded very honestly.

The old man took a deep breath, and he just said, the news that his son told him earlier was absolutely true.

Unexpectedly, this son-in-law was able to strike up a conversation with General Song.

"Why don't you want to?"

Lu Daxiong was in a bit of a dilemma. He was married and wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife. Can you say that?

Lu Daxiong carefully raised his head to look at the old man, and seeing the look of anticipation on his face, he knew that there were some things he couldn't say.

If you let him know that he is content and happy, he will probably scold him for not being enterprising!

"There is no reason, just ten years in the military camp, I am tired and tired."

Old Mrs. Chen had a strange expression on his face, clearly saying: Do you think I believe it or not?
