Chapter 443 Lu Peng Gives a Gift
In the end, Gongsun Cheng still failed to pay off the debt he owed. To put it bluntly, what he owed was a bottomless pit. Even if he didn't give the money on hand to Lu Hanjiang, it would probably be a drop in the bucket.

But something is better than nothing. After all, there are only a few people who talk about money clearly in the world. This is a society of human feelings. Repaying debts does not have to be paid off in full. What everyone values ​​more often is an attitude.

Except for some real money lent to Gongsun Chengren, the rest of the quacks who came to ask to make up for their losses all came here as soon as their heads got hot after being stimulated by Lu Peng.

This group of people seems to be menacing, but in fact it is best to deal with them. If Gongsun Cheng is willing to spend a small amount of money, or even just admit his mistakes, and deal with them with a low profile, it is actually very easy to send them away.

But it's a pity that doing so will definitely hurt Gongsun Cheng's most valued reputation nowadays, so even if he knows this kind of practice, he is absolutely unwilling.

The result of this is that the conflict between the two sides is deepening day by day. There was not much hatred in the first place, but now he has been procrastinating, but it has really aroused everyone's anger.

However, Gongsun Cheng is the young master of the Gongsun family after all, even if he made a big mistake, this group of people would only dare to protest in the wine shop outside.

Therefore, Gongsun Cheng simply acted like a turtle, and hid if he couldn't be provoked, and waited until after the crown ceremony.

It's not that Gongsun Cheng didn't work hard at all. He had turned to Chi Cangping for help several times, hoping that the other party would give him another good idea. Unfortunately, this military adviser, apart from the first time we met, did not work hard. Days, even when talking to him, words are like gold.

This is also caused by Chi Cangping's careful thinking. In his opinion, when Gongsun Cheng is not at the end of his life, the icing on the cake is far less precious than giving charcoal in the snow.

So Chi Cangping was waiting, he planned to wait until Gongsun Cheng really couldn't hold on before making a move, but if he waited leisurely, Gongsun Cheng would be really unlucky.

Although he is the young master, there is no one around him who can give advice. It is entirely due to his own efforts and a part of luck that he has reached the current height.

Standing in an inconspicuous corner before, Gongsun Cheng still couldn't see those faults, but now he is finally going to stand in front of the stage, his shortcomings seem to have been magnified suddenly, and those who were optimistic about him at the beginning are also at this moment. They all hesitated.

For example, in the tortoise tactic this time, Gongsun Cheng blindfolded his eyes, ignored the wind and rain outside, and just evaded blindly, making people really look down on him.

However, no matter how bad the method is, it also has its unique effect. For example, Gongsun Cheng's passive coping was a good way to pass the time, and the day of his coronation ceremony came in a blink of an eye.

There were no lanterns and festoons, and no banquets, only serious elders, and Gongsun clansmen with complicated expressions and silent faces.

At the guest table, only the Beggars' Gang and the Yuwen Family were the only outsiders who signed to participate in the crowning ceremony. The rest were members of the Gongsun Family, including the Cheng Family and the Lin Family, which were affiliated with the Gongsun Family.

Sitting at the table, Lu Hanjiang and Yu Wenshang greeted each other. The two had nothing to say, and the other party had a straight face. Naturally, he was unwilling to talk to this kind of ice bump.

On the other hand, there was another person who came with Yu Wenshang, and he could talk to several members of the beggar gang. Lu Hanjiang took another look at him, and this was the person who gave him the gift that day.

This person's surname is Shen, and his first name is Shuangbai. Don't look at his elegant scholarly attire. In fact, his Shen family started as a bodyguard teacher, and later set up his own bodyguard, and opened his own bodyguard agency. It is the most famous family in Jianghu among this kind of weapons.

Similar to the relationship between Cheng's Lin family and Gongsun's family, this Shen family is also one of the families that depend on Yuwen's family for survival.

This Shen Shuangbai is a talented person among the younger generation of the Shen family, so he followed Yu Wenshang's side. On the surface, the two of them are of the same generation, but in fact they are more inclined to the role of guard or counselor, in other words, they are master and servant. .

"Hey, really, is your meteor hammer that kind of meteor hammer? Can you show me?"

Over there, Shang Luo, who was chatting with Shen Shuangbai, was obviously not interested in the twists and turns behind. The only thing that caught her eye was the meteor hammer method passed down by the Shen family mentioned in this story.

"Haha, sister Lu's swordsmanship is famous all over the world, I'm ashamed of myself." Obviously, Shen Shuangbai misunderstood Shang Luo's meaning.

The little girl gave him a slightly puzzled look, and then continued to ask: "Brother Shen, where is your hammer? Did you not bring it?"

"Well, that weapon is not easy to carry with you, so I didn't bring it with you." Shen Shuangbai's smile faded a little, the reason why he wanted to dress up as a scholar was because he didn't like others to associate him with the family hammering technique.

Shen Shuangbai aspires to be a chic and romantic person who rides horses in the rivers and lakes. The meteor hammer is really far from his aesthetics, so unless it is necessary, he never takes it out.

"What, it's boring."

Shang Luo curled her lips, the curiosity on her face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her attitude towards Shen Shuangbai also changed sharply, and she didn't even bother to say a few perfunctory words.

The corners of Shen Shuangbai's eyes twitched slightly, is this girl so real?He couldn't help looking past Shang Luo, looking at Lu Hanjiang in front of him, wondering if the siblings' temperaments are also in the same line.

Originally, he thought that he could have some common language with the other party, but now it seems that he was thinking too much. The characters of the brothers and sisters are completely incompatible with him.

Shen Shuangbai put out his intentions to make friends, and the guest table gradually became calm. Now the focus of the audience is on Gongsun Cheng in the middle. After finishing the crowning ceremony, this sixteenth-year-old boy is considered an adult.

The coronation ceremony was solemn and solemn, and the old man Sun Wang, who was in charge of the etiquette, went through the whole process meticulously. When the final crowning was completed, the audience was silent, only Lu Hanjiang was applauding.

It is worth mentioning that "applause" is more often a subconscious individual behavior. In this era, applauding together does not mean collective praise.

Moreover, the longer the family tradition, the more serious the crowning etiquette is. For example, when Lu Hanjiang crowned himself, there was not even a talkative person during the whole process, and everyone's face was sullen like a zombie. Only after all the etiquette was over, The guests will toast and congratulate.

In the solemn hall, only one person's applause resounded abruptly, and all members of the Gongsun family were silent. This kind of silence hurt Gongsun Cheng's fragile heart even more.

Gongsun Cheng is not a serious young master, nor has he received any systematic education, so he doesn't know how the guests at the crowning ceremony should express their congratulations, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care about Lu Hanjiang's actions.

After all, Brother Lu is the leader of the beggar gang, and he certainly doesn't understand this aspect, so the other party must be really happy, so he made these impolite actions.

Now that he has finally become an adult, but these people of the same clan are so indifferent, it is ridiculous that Gongsun Wang keeps reminding him to socialize with the people in his family, now it seems that it is probably a hot face with a cold ass.

Gongsun Cheng knelt down on both knees during the coronation, and now that the ceremony was over, Gongsun Wang helped him up. According to the rules, at this time, an elder or a friend should send a gift to express congratulations, but unfortunately, the audience was still silent.

Gongsun Cheng only thought that he had been insulted, and stood there with a livid face and did not move. When the elders saw each other, they looked around and looked at each other. Gongsun Wang finally sighed helplessly.

Regardless of whether someone sent congratulations or not, he would express it in the end. This was not because he made up his mind to bet on Gongsun Cheng, but because of the face of the Gongsun family.

Finally, in the silent silence, someone stood up, and it was Lu Peng.

"Everyone, Lu Peng is my cousin Gongsun Cheng, and today I sent a special gift to my cousin."

When Lu Peng stood up, many people showed gloating expressions. Amid the pointing and pointing, Gongsun Cheng's face became extremely ugly. As expected, he turned around and said loudly to the outside of the hall: They come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of Jianghu people came from outside the hall. Gongsun Cheng took a closer look and his face changed drastically. This group of people were his creditors.
