Tao Xiude started eating sullenly, and Du Qingchen didn't want to say anything more. He just pretended that the person in front of him didn't exist, and started to eat noodles. The slightly hot noodle soup poured into his stomach, and Du Qingchen faintly regained his energy. Yes, he was really afraid just now, no one is not afraid of death, and he is also afraid.
After the two of them finished eating, Su Dong packed up his things and went to the kitchen to tidy up.
Sitting opposite Tao Xiude, Du Qingchen said, "If Mr. Tao has anything to say, just tell me straight up!"
"Okay!" Tao Xiude raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and patted them on the table, and said, "This! I will reward you personally, and it will be regarded as a reward for your benevolence. .”
"You will not be rewarded for any merit, and all the credit should be attributed to Mr. Tao. We are just a bunch of foolish farmers who only use hoes and kitchen knives to show off our prestige. In fact, it is just a joke in the eyes of others."
"Don't be like this, you don't know how much I appreciate you! From the jade pendant of the Meng family to today, in order to save those children, you went deep into the tiger's den and put your own safety at risk. Whether it is strategy or courage, I admire you very much. .”
Du Qingchen lowered his head with a sneer, and shook his head slightly, "Young Master Tao, I don't know what you're talking about, what kind of jade pendant, I don't understand at all!"
"It's okay, it's okay if you don't understand! I said you just listen. The reason why the Chen family has come to this point and become a big family in Han County is me. Without any help and evidence, it is hard to shake. You Du Qingchen, don't you?" Don't you want to be the second in the Chen family?"
"Like the Chen family, do they regard human life as nothing?" Du Qingchen said.
"Of course not! My Tao family is an upright family, different from those rough warriors! We learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and all we do are benevolent things, but we can't do something as simple and rude as the Chen family, and we have to go to hell! "Tao Xiude immediately retorted.
Du Qingchen understood, and Tao Xiude came to take in the servants. He wanted himself to be attached to the Tao family, just like the Chen family was attached to Kong Feizhou's Kong family, and to be a subsidiary family of the Tao family.
I really think highly of him!Du Qingchen lowered his head and hooked his lips ironically.
When the Chen family was destroyed, there was no seat for the business family in Han County, and at the same time, a huge piece of cake was vacated. Young Master Tao personally ended up crushing the Chen family. How could this fruit be picked by others?Naturally, he wanted his own affiliated family to take over this fruit and become the existence in Han County, replacing the Chen family.
In this way, how the Chen family supported Kong Feizhou back then, and in the future, some people will support the Tao family in the same way.
And Tao Xiude has his eyes on him!But it's not surprising, the disposition and strategy he showed in front of Tao Xiude are probably very appetizing to Tao Xiude. Moreover, he comes from a humble background and has no support. Once he joins the Tao family, he will be easily restrained by the Tao family. Live, hard to betray.
However, he doesn't want to!
To be a servant is to hand over your wealth and life to others.It is normal for a business family to rely on officials and nobles, but he doesn't want to.
Du Qingchen sighed, and said: "Young Master Tao, you think highly of me. I'm just a cook. Look at me. I have nothing to pursue. I just want to open a restaurant and cook well. What Chen family Second, I can't come, I can't come!"
"That's not what you said when you were in the secret path!" Tao Xiude raised his eyebrows, "Who said that his master belongs to the Tao family?! You can go back on what you said, it's not authentic! I heard it!"
"It's just an expedient measure, just to delay time." Du Qingchen frowned and smiled, "Besides, I'm just a villager, so what if I don't admit it? I'm not a scholar, let alone a big man, yes! I mean Yes, but I repented and refused to admit it, how?"
Tao Xiude had no choice but to let Du Qingchen play tricks.
Tao Xiude sighed, and said: "Okay! It seems that I didn't give enough weight. Boss Du! I say Brother Du! I have a cousin from afar, who came from a wealthy family. Zhi Lanxin, gentle and elegant, can be a good match, I would like to say that I will be your concubine, from now on, you and the Tao family will be in-laws, what do you think?"
What he gave this time is enough!In order to take Du Qingchen for his own use, he even gave up his relatives' girls, what else would Du Qingchen say!He didn't treat Du Qingchen like a servant at all!He has always said that he is willing to be friends with Du Qingchen as peers!
Su Dong just washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Hearing this, he froze in place, staring blankly at Tao Xiude.
Du Qingchen noticed that Su Dong came out, and immediately waved to him. Seeing that Su Dong was stunned and completely unresponsive, he said to Tao Xiude, "Mr. Didn’t the day even send congratulatory gifts? Now that we’re newly married, you’re going to give me a concubine, isn’t it appropriate? You just ate a meal cooked by my husband! Just treat him like this!”
Su Dong finally came to his senses, glared at Tao Xiude viciously, walked towards Du Qingchen quickly, took Du Qingchen's arm and said to Tao Xiude: "My husband does not take concubines! He only wants me alone!"
What Su Dong said was a little guilty. After all, Du Qingchen never said that, but...
"Yes!" Du Qingchen nodded heavily, "I only want Su Dong in this life, and I will never marry again. I don't even look at concubines or other brothers and women!"
Du Qingchen turned his head and looked at Su Dong gently. Su Dong blushed. What Du Qingchen said just now was to deceive the young man in front of him?still sincerely...
If it's true...
But Du Qingchen seemed to be able to see Su Dong's thoughts, and said solemnly: "I am sincere."
Su Dong's face turned redder, but he didn't turn around and run away in shame, but sat firmly beside Du Qingchen, blushing and continued to stare fiercely at Tao Xiude.
Tao Xiude was extremely embarrassed, he was caught by the husband at the scene of offering a concubine to his husband, nothing could be more embarrassing, Tao Xiude silently lowered his head and touched his nose.
"Mr. Tao, it's hard to make a deal with different ways. You and I are not the same people. It's really hard to work together. Forget it!" Du Qingchen sighed.
Tao Xiude was stunned for a moment, he heard that Du Qingchen really thought so, "Why?"
"Young master Tao, do you have to explain something clearly? Okay! You said you valued my benevolence, and that your Tao family pursued the way of benevolence, so I would like to ask you for those children. Why did the officials surround Chen? Why didn’t you search the mansion? Why did you allow the Chen family to walk freely in the mansion? Since you are investigating the case, since you have a suspect, shouldn’t you go to the mansion to find evidence and take people into custody?! You surrounded the Chen mansion like a railroad , but let the inside be loose and free, what is the picture?"
When Tao Xiude heard the words, he jumped up against the case, "You suspect that I did it?! Do you suspect that I did it on purpose?!"
Tao Xiude understood what Du Qingchen meant. Du Qingchen suspected that he deliberately let the Chen family kill people to increase the charges against the Chen family. Du Qingchen suspected that he would not hesitate to bury dozens of children in order to destroy the Chen family!
"I didn't!" Tao Xiude said coldly, "It's not me!"
It was either him or someone else, Du Qingchen lowered his eyes and understood.
It is true that some people want to use this to increase the charges of the Chen family. It is true that some people want to knock the mountains and shake the tiger, urge the Chen family to kill, and then wipe out the Chen family and Kong Feizhou.
Tao Xiude sat down angrily, and didn't mention the matter of recruiting Du Qingchen, and instead said: "After I went to your house that time, I rode a fast horse back to the provincial capital and reported this matter. Out of morality, my father notified the Meng family. The Meng family used to be a family of poems and books, but these years there have been frequent generals. When he learned of this, he immediately sent soldiers to surround the Chen residence and sent staff to preside over the matter. They won’t listen to any persuasion! They want to avenge Meng San, and they also want to use this to squeeze Kong Feizhou, so that their children can take over, what can I do?!”
Tao Xiude looked aggrieved, "I'm just a scholar with some fame, and I don't have an official status. I just came to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Can I count so many lives in order to deal with Kong Feizhou! How dare I! Me! "
"That's right!" Tao Xiude slapped the table, "Since you have thought of this, you should know that I saved you, not a coincidence! If I hadn't rushed over at that time, you thought the Meng family's soldiers would go in to rescue you Is it? They want you to have an accident!"
Su Dong looked at Du Qingchen suspiciously, wondering what happened. Du Qingchen raised his hand and patted the back of Su Dong's hand, "It's okay." Then he turned to Tao Xiude and said, "So, I also want to thank Young Master Tao for saving his life. .”
Tao Xiude immediately cheered up when he heard the words, "It's good that you understand, I was thinking just now, should I remind you of this matter! It's good that you can understand it yourself, you owe me your life!"
"I understand!" Du Qingchen nodded.
"So, you can also understand that the reason why I urged the officials to go in is that I don't want anything to happen to you in my heart. I also really want to save those children. You can understand! I, the Tao family, the Meng family, and the Confucius family Every home is different!"
Du Qingchen nodded, "I understand."
Tao Xiude breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you understand, as long as there is no misunderstanding between us."
"Of course, there will be no misunderstanding." Du Qingchen said indifferently.
This time, the Tao family picked a clean sheet. All the dirty and evil things have nothing to do with the Tao family, but the biggest benefit is theirs. The Chen family is destroyed, Kong Feizhou is implicated, and the Meng family who may be in power in the future , but because of the Chen family's affairs, he owed the Tao family a lot of favors. From then on, Han County was dominated by the Tao family.
The most interesting thing is that the Tao family has always been clean in this matter, and they have never even had any conspiracy!
It was the Chen family who murdered and violated the law, and the Meng family was the one who besieged the mansion. The Tao family just informed the Meng family out of reason after discovering the jade pendant!And Tao Xiude is even saving people!
What fun!There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. He really can't be too proud, he must be humble in life, otherwise when he meets a person like Tao Taishou, he doesn't even know how he died, and he thinks everything is a coincidence.
The corners of Du Qingchen's mouth curled up slightly, and Tao Xiude no longer mentioned the previous incident. He vaguely felt that Du Qingchen might have guessed more than he wanted him to know, but Du Qingchen owed him his life anyway, Du Qingchen If he didn't mention it, he would act as if he didn't know.After all, a person like Du Qingchen would never do anything to his savior, he had to appreciate it.
It's just a pity that Du Qingchen really doesn't want to be used by the Tao family.
Tao Xiude was a little disappointed, but when he thought that Du Qingchen owed him at least one life, he would never turn against the Tao family no matter what, and even help the Tao family at a critical moment, so he cheered up and smiled slightly.
"Brother Du, no matter what you think, I really don't want anyone to die." Tao Xiude said seriously, he practiced the way of sages since childhood, he is really not a villain.
"I understand." Du Qingchen nodded.
Tao Xiude is not a wicked person, he will feel guilty and feel guilty, just like he knew that he should not go into the secret path, and Tao Xiude also knew that he should not go down so early with an official, it is the same .And this kind of behavior probably violated Tao Taishou's order, so he accepts it!
Before leaving, Tao Xiude insisted on keeping the money, but Du Qingchen refused to accept it.
"You really don't want it? There are 1000 taels of silver here!" Tao Xiude laughed.
"Didn't Mr. Tao feel distressed because of the 100 taels of silver before? Why is he so generous this time?" Du Qingchen still remembered the reluctance of Tao Xiude when he paid the money, which was completely different from the generous one now.
"That's definitely different! The buyer's silver is my pocket money, my own money! But this is Tao's money, so it might be embarrassing to say it." Tao Xiude scratched his head, "My monthly The pocket money is only 80 taels, and it’s not easy to save up some money, but if I spend more than 100 taels all at once, of course I feel distressed!”
Du Qingchen was speechless for a while, "So the money was given to us by Tao Taishou?"
"Almost! It's up to me, but it's the same!" Tao Xiude said with a smile, just go back and pay the bill.
Du Qingchen sighed, "This money is a bit hot, and I dare not take it. If Prefect Tao really wants to reward Su Junxia and the others, I'd better ask Second Master Tao to give it to them himself!"
The money is taken, but there is a price to pay.
Tao Xiude thought for a while, and knew that Du Qingchen would not pick it up, so he nodded, "Okay! But brother Du, after passing this village, this shop won't exist anymore. Maybe Su Junxia and the others will be happy to take mine. Yinzi, and then you will take over the position of the Chen family." Tao Xiude said meaningfully.
"That's their business, not mine."
"Aren't you afraid that one day Su Junxia and the others will climb on top of your head, and when you look up at them, won't your neck feel uncomfortable?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm used to being coaxed. I don't feel uncomfortable in my neck when anyone climbs on top of my head."
Seeing that Du Qingchen's attitude was so firm, Tao Xiude had to give up. He really regretted it. After all, he really felt that Du Qingchen was very suitable. Of course, he was too smart, and it would be better if he was a little more stupid.
Tao Xiude regretfully turned and left.
Su Dong listened for a long while, although he was confused, he still figured out the general idea. He heard that the young master was bullying Du Qingchen, and even tried to take a concubine for Du Qingchen!Su Dong would also hold grudges.
Su Dong took a step forward, stuttering, "This young master hasn't paid for his meal yet!"
Tao Xiude turned around abruptly, Du Qingchen looked at Su Dong in surprise, Su Dong shrank his head, did he say something wrong?Either...or if everyone didn't hear it, he didn't say anything...
After Du Qingchen came to his senses, he chuckled and said, "That's right! Mr. Tao, for small businesses, no credit is accepted. A bowl of noodles in clear soup, three pennies, thank you for your patronage."
Tao Xiude laughed angrily, raised his hand and took out a banknote from a pile of banknotes, and handed it to Du Qingchen, "Here, change!"
"I'm sorry, but the denomination is too large, so I can't find it. You should give me three copper coins!" Du Qingchen smiled.
Tao Xiude groped for a while, but he couldn't find three copper coins from his body. The denomination was too small, and Tao Xiude didn't bother to carry it, so he said: "Wait for me! I'll go out to find a servant." Tao Xiude stuffed the banknote into his bosom, and went out to find a servant to get the money.
Fortunately, the consumption of servants is generally relatively low, and they carry copper coins with them. Tao Xiude came back soon, handed Du Qingchen three Wen coins, and sighed: "You will kill you!"
Du Qingchen took it with a smile and did not refute, "Young Master, come again next time!"
"Good idea! Next time I don't have good food and meals, I won't come!" Tao Xiude waved his hand and walked out the door.
Only then did Su Dong poke his head out, looking at the smiling Du Qingchen, "Did I say something wrong and offend that young master?"
"How could it be! He's not afraid of offending, he has a good temper! It's just that he has a bad temper and likes to joke around, so don't worry about it." Du Qingchen patted Su Dong's head with a smile on his face.
Only then did Su Dong feel relieved.
After a little tidying up, they went home.
Mr. Su, Su Junxia was easily moved by Tao Xiude's few words and attracted by the future planned by Tao Xiude. He immediately recognized the Tao family as the master and was willing to work for the Tao family, becoming the second of the Chen family.
Tao Xiude handed over the silver with a smile, and said: "This is the money for you. Use this money to buy the local property of the Chen family, as much as you can buy. In the future, this is the foundation of your start. Of course, to do business! You need not only money and a shop, but also a certain amount of ingenuity, so if you don’t mind, I can send you one of my servants to be your assistant and help you look over the documents Can you accept the contract or something?"
"Accept it! It's all up to you!" Su Junxia excitedly bowed his hands.
He's finally, finally going to stand out!The second Chen family!From now on, he will be the second Chen family in the town!
Not long after Du Qingchen came home, the news about Su Junxia and others saving dozens of children spread in the town. Longtan Tiger's Den, he puts his own safety at risk, he is really a hero.
As for Du Qingchen, oh, yes!Su Junxia deeply felt that he lacked intelligence, so he forcibly took away the owner of Du's restaurant, asked him to help out with ideas, and finally took Boss Du to the secret road, but this was forced, not willingly, although he also Got an idea, helped a lot...
But Boss Su is a real man, a hero, and a chivalrous man!Please pay attention to the main point of the story!
Not long after Du Qingchen came home, he heard the fresh gossip from Du's father, gritted his teeth secretly with a smile, and greeted Tao Xiude from the bottom of his heart.
In order to promote Su Junxia, give him fame, and help him get rid of his bad reputation, Tao Xiude is amazing!
good!He is a man who can accomplish great things!For the sake of saving his life, the rumored Boss Du who was forced to take to the secret road as a think tank, he recognized it!
But he suffered from the loss outside, and his family didn't let him go. Du Qingchen was chased and accused by Du's father for a whole day, and even cried twice about his dead mother. Du Qingchen, who only cried, was upset , I have to promise that I will never do dangerous things again in the future, let alone deal with dangerous people without telling my family.
Su Dong nodded repeatedly at the side, cooperating very well with Du's father.
Du Rulin hid far away, he was still an insider, so he didn't dare to come forward to help, for fear of attracting Du's father's attention, thinking about his business!At that time, blame him together.
Just as he was talking about the dangerous person, the dangerous person came to the door by himself. This time Su Junxia brought a gift in an open and honest manner. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Boss Du, who he regarded as a planner, shrank in the corner like a grandson as his father taught him.
Su Junxia looked at Du Qingchen in surprise, as if the person in front of him was not the one he knew at all.
When Du's father saw the visitor, although he knew that Su Junxia had reconciled with his son, he still snorted heavily, turned around and entered the room without entertaining him. Du Qingchen was finally able to get away, heaved a sigh of relief, and went over to invite Su Junxia into the room .
Anyway, things were like this, and they had nothing to hide. Even the matter of the jade pendant was unilaterally affirmed by Tao Xiude, and he didn't listen to their explanation at all.
But fortunately, Tao Xiude didn't tell the matter to the outside world, so they didn't wait for the officials to come to inquire and ask them to cooperate with investigating Baigou's case.
Of course, Su Junxia is Tao Xiude's person now, and Tao Xiude is raising Su Junxia's reputation. At this time, Su Junxia can no longer be connected with the case, which is one of the reasons why Tao Xiude didn't say anything about it.
"Why are you here?" After entering the room, Du Qingchen poured water for Su Junxia and asked.
"Come... thank you. I have always... been very grateful to you for these things." Su Junxia said coyly, he was quite embarrassed, after all, he also knew the rumors in the town, all the benefits of fame It was occupied by him alone, and Du Qingchen had nothing to do. Du Qingchen was busy with them in vain.
"That's it?" Du Qingchen laughed.
"Also... more! I plan to follow Mr. Tao! But don't worry, I will never say anything about the jade pendant!" Su Junxia said hastily, he didn't know that this matter had been unilaterally confirmed by Tao Xiude. "So, I just want to ask you, do you think it's okay for me to follow Mr. Tao?"
In fact, he just wanted to ask Du Qingchen if there was any danger in this matter, he couldn't figure it out himself.
Du Qingchen was silent for a while, "Being a thug of the Chen family is actually no different from being a servant of the Tao family, do you know?"
"Actually, I know. But, the Chen family can grow so big! It's also because of being a servant of the Kong family. I... I don't have much idea, that is, I can just be like the Chen family, of course! I will never do those things Mr. Tao also said that he would not let me do something ignorant of his conscience! So I just thought..."
"That's fine! You can do whatever you want. After all, to put it bluntly, with your ability, if you don't rely on other forces or smart people, you can at most be a gangster in the town or a shop owner, but If you are attached to the Tao family and with the help of the Tao family, maybe you can really become the second Chen family. Moreover, the Tao family will indeed not let you do illegal things like the Kong family. The Tao family has always been I cherish my own very much." Du Qingchen said the last sentence meaningfully.
"That's it! Then, I did it right this time?" Su Junxia said nervously.
"For you, it's a good thing." Du Qingchen chuckled, "Don't think so much, if it weren't for a coincidence, if you wanted to board the boat of the Tao family, they wouldn't let you on it! This is your luck! No, This is what you deserve, it was indeed you who made the decision, and I went with you to save people, Boss Su, you are indeed a good person, much better than me."
Su Junxia heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and laughed.
After the two of them finished eating, Su Dong packed up his things and went to the kitchen to tidy up.
Sitting opposite Tao Xiude, Du Qingchen said, "If Mr. Tao has anything to say, just tell me straight up!"
"Okay!" Tao Xiude raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and patted them on the table, and said, "This! I will reward you personally, and it will be regarded as a reward for your benevolence. .”
"You will not be rewarded for any merit, and all the credit should be attributed to Mr. Tao. We are just a bunch of foolish farmers who only use hoes and kitchen knives to show off our prestige. In fact, it is just a joke in the eyes of others."
"Don't be like this, you don't know how much I appreciate you! From the jade pendant of the Meng family to today, in order to save those children, you went deep into the tiger's den and put your own safety at risk. Whether it is strategy or courage, I admire you very much. .”
Du Qingchen lowered his head with a sneer, and shook his head slightly, "Young Master Tao, I don't know what you're talking about, what kind of jade pendant, I don't understand at all!"
"It's okay, it's okay if you don't understand! I said you just listen. The reason why the Chen family has come to this point and become a big family in Han County is me. Without any help and evidence, it is hard to shake. You Du Qingchen, don't you?" Don't you want to be the second in the Chen family?"
"Like the Chen family, do they regard human life as nothing?" Du Qingchen said.
"Of course not! My Tao family is an upright family, different from those rough warriors! We learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and all we do are benevolent things, but we can't do something as simple and rude as the Chen family, and we have to go to hell! "Tao Xiude immediately retorted.
Du Qingchen understood, and Tao Xiude came to take in the servants. He wanted himself to be attached to the Tao family, just like the Chen family was attached to Kong Feizhou's Kong family, and to be a subsidiary family of the Tao family.

What Su Dong said was a little guilty. After all, Du Qingchen never said that, but...
"Yes!" Du Qingchen nodded heavily, "I only want Su Dong in this life, and I will never marry again. I don't even look at concubines or other brothers and women!"
Du Qingchen turned his head and looked at Su Dong gently. Su Dong blushed. What Du Qingchen said just now was to deceive the young man in front of him?still sincerely...
If it's true...
But Du Qingchen seemed to be able to see Su Dong's thoughts, and said solemnly: "I am sincere."

Su Dong looked at Du Qingchen suspiciously, wondering what happened. Du Qingchen raised his hand and patted the back of Su Dong's hand, "It's okay." Then he turned to Tao Xiude and said, "So, I also want to thank Young Master Tao for saving his life. .”
Tao Xiude immediately cheered up when he heard the words, "It's good that you understand, I was thinking just now, should I remind you of this matter! It's good that you can understand it yourself, you owe me your life!"
"I understand!" Du Qingchen nodded.
"So, you can also understand that the reason why I urged the officials to go in is that I don't want anything to happen to you in my heart. I also really want to save those children. You can understand! I, the Tao family, the Meng family, and the Confucius family Every home is different!"
Du Qingchen nodded, "I understand."
Tao Xiude breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you understand, as long as there is no misunderstanding between us."
"Of course, there will be no misunderstanding." Du Qingchen said indifferently.
This time, the Tao family picked a clean sheet. All the dirty and evil things have nothing to do with the Tao family, but the biggest benefit is theirs. The Chen family is destroyed, Kong Feizhou is implicated, and the Meng family who may be in power in the future , but because of the Chen family's affairs, he owed the Tao family a lot of favors. From then on, Han County was dominated by the Tao family.
The most interesting thing is that the Tao family has always been clean in this matter, and they have never even had any conspiracy!
It was the Chen family who murdered and violated the law, and the Meng family was the one who besieged the mansion. The Tao family just informed the Meng family out of reason after discovering the jade pendant!And Tao Xiude is even saving people!
What fun!There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. He really can't be too proud, he must be humble in life, otherwise when he meets a person like Tao Taishou, he doesn't even know how he died, and he thinks everything is a coincidence.
The corners of Du Qingchen's mouth curled up slightly, and Tao Xiude no longer mentioned the previous incident. He vaguely felt that Du Qingchen might have guessed more than he wanted him to know, but Du Qingchen owed him his life anyway, Du Qingchen If he didn't mention it, he would act as if he didn't know.After all, a person like Du Qingchen would never do anything to his savior, he had to appreciate it.
It's just a pity that Du Qingchen really doesn't want to be used by the Tao family.
Tao Xiude was a little disappointed, but when he thought that Du Qingchen owed him at least one life, he would never turn against the Tao family no matter what, and even help the Tao family at a critical moment, so he cheered up and smiled slightly.
"Brother Du, no matter what you think, I really don't want anyone to die." Tao Xiude said seriously, he practiced the way of sages since childhood, he is really not a villain.
"I understand." Du Qingchen nodded.
Tao Xiude is not a wicked person, he will feel guilty and feel guilty, just like he knew that he should not go into the secret path, and Tao Xiude also knew that he should not go down so early with an official, it is the same .And this kind of behavior probably violated Tao Taishou's order, so he accepts it!
Before leaving, Tao Xiude insisted on keeping the money, but Du Qingchen refused to accept it.
"You really don't want it? There are 1000 taels of silver here!" Tao Xiude laughed.
"Didn't Mr. Tao feel distressed because of the 100 taels of silver before? Why is he so generous this time?" Du Qingchen still remembered the reluctance of Tao Xiude when he paid the money, which was completely different from the generous one now.
"That's definitely different! The buyer's silver is my pocket money, my own money! But this is Tao's money, so it might be embarrassing to say it." Tao Xiude scratched his head, "My monthly The pocket money is only 80 taels, and it’s not easy to save up some money, but if I spend more than 100 taels all at once, of course I feel distressed!”
Du Qingchen was speechless for a while, "So the money was given to us by Tao Taishou?"
"Almost! It's up to me, but it's the same!" Tao Xiude said with a smile, just go back and pay the bill.
Du Qingchen sighed, "This money is a bit hot, and I dare not take it. If Prefect Tao really wants to reward Su Junxia and the others, I'd better ask Second Master Tao to give it to them himself!"
The money is taken, but there is a price to pay.
Tao Xiude thought for a while, and knew that Du Qingchen would not pick it up, so he nodded, "Okay! But brother Du, after passing this village, this shop won't exist anymore. Maybe Su Junxia and the others will be happy to take mine. Yinzi, and then you will take over the position of the Chen family." Tao Xiude said meaningfully.
"That's their business, not mine."
"Aren't you afraid that one day Su Junxia and the others will climb on top of your head, and when you look up at them, won't your neck feel uncomfortable?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm used to being coaxed. I don't feel uncomfortable in my neck when anyone climbs on top of my head."
Seeing that Du Qingchen's attitude was so firm, Tao Xiude had to give up. He really regretted it. After all, he really felt that Du Qingchen was very suitable. Of course, he was too smart, and it would be better if he was a little more stupid.
Tao Xiude regretfully turned and left.
Su Dong listened for a long while, although he was confused, he still figured out the general idea. He heard that the young master was bullying Du Qingchen, and even tried to take a concubine for Du Qingchen!Su Dong would also hold grudges.
Su Dong took a step forward, stuttering, "This young master hasn't paid for his meal yet!"
Tao Xiude turned around abruptly, Du Qingchen looked at Su Dong in surprise, Su Dong shrank his head, did he say something wrong?Either...or if everyone didn't hear it, he didn't say anything...
After Du Qingchen came to his senses, he chuckled and said, "That's right! Mr. Tao, for small businesses, no credit is accepted. A bowl of noodles in clear soup, three pennies, thank you for your patronage."
Tao Xiude laughed angrily, raised his hand and took out a banknote from a pile of banknotes, and handed it to Du Qingchen, "Here, change!"
"I'm sorry, but the denomination is too large, so I can't find it. You should give me three copper coins!" Du Qingchen smiled.
Tao Xiude groped for a while, but he couldn't find three copper coins from his body. The denomination was too small, and Tao Xiude didn't bother to carry it, so he said: "Wait for me! I'll go out to find a servant." Tao Xiude stuffed the banknote into his bosom, and went out to find a servant to get the money.
Fortunately, the consumption of servants is generally relatively low, and they carry copper coins with them. Tao Xiude came back soon, handed Du Qingchen three Wen coins, and sighed: "You will kill you!"
Du Qingchen took it with a smile and did not refute, "Young Master, come again next time!"
"Good idea! Next time I don't have good food and meals, I won't come!" Tao Xiude waved his hand and walked out the door.
Only then did Su Dong poke his head out, looking at the smiling Du Qingchen, "Did I say something wrong and offend that young master?"
"How could it be! He's not afraid of offending, he has a good temper! It's just that he has a bad temper and likes to joke around, so don't worry about it." Du Qingchen patted Su Dong's head with a smile on his face.
Only then did Su Dong feel relieved.
After a little tidying up, they went home.
Mr. Su, Su Junxia was easily moved by Tao Xiude's few words and attracted by the future planned by Tao Xiude. He immediately recognized the Tao family as the master and was willing to work for the Tao family, becoming the second of the Chen family.
Tao Xiude handed over the silver with a smile, and said: "This is the money for you. Use this money to buy the local property of the Chen family, as much as you can buy. In the future, this is the foundation of your start. Of course, to do business! You need not only money and a shop, but also a certain amount of ingenuity, so if you don’t mind, I can send you one of my servants to be your assistant and help you look over the documents Can you accept the contract or something?"
"Accept it! It's all up to you!" Su Junxia excitedly bowed his hands.
He's finally, finally going to stand out!The second Chen family!From now on, he will be the second Chen family in the town!
Not long after Du Qingchen came home, the news about Su Junxia and others saving dozens of children spread in the town. Longtan Tiger's Den, he puts his own safety at risk, he is really a hero.
As for Du Qingchen, oh, yes!Su Junxia deeply felt that he lacked intelligence, so he forcibly took away the owner of Du's restaurant, asked him to help out with ideas, and finally took Boss Du to the secret road, but this was forced, not willingly, although he also Got an idea, helped a lot...
But Boss Su is a real man, a hero, and a chivalrous man!Please pay attention to the main point of the story!
Not long after Du Qingchen came home, he heard the fresh gossip from Du's father, gritted his teeth secretly with a smile, and greeted Tao Xiude from the bottom of his heart.
In order to promote Su Junxia, give him fame, and help him get rid of his bad reputation, Tao Xiude is amazing!
good!He is a man who can accomplish great things!For the sake of saving his life, the rumored Boss Du who was forced to take to the secret road as a think tank, he recognized it!
But he suffered from the loss outside, and his family didn't let him go. Du Qingchen was chased and accused by Du's father for a whole day, and even cried twice about his dead mother. Du Qingchen, who only cried, was upset , I have to promise that I will never do dangerous things again in the future, let alone deal with dangerous people without telling my family.
Su Dong nodded repeatedly at the side, cooperating very well with Du's father.
Du Rulin hid far away, he was still an insider, so he didn't dare to come forward to help, for fear of attracting Du's father's attention, thinking about his business!At that time, blame him together.
Just as he was talking about the dangerous person, the dangerous person came to the door by himself. This time Su Junxia brought a gift in an open and honest manner. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Boss Du, who he regarded as a planner, shrank in the corner like a grandson as his father taught him.
Su Junxia looked at Du Qingchen in surprise, as if the person in front of him was not the one he knew at all.
When Du's father saw the visitor, although he knew that Su Junxia had reconciled with his son, he still snorted heavily, turned around and entered the room without entertaining him. Du Qingchen was finally able to get away, heaved a sigh of relief, and went over to invite Su Junxia into the room .
Anyway, things were like this, and they had nothing to hide. Even the matter of the jade pendant was unilaterally affirmed by Tao Xiude, and he didn't listen to their explanation at all.
But fortunately, Tao Xiude didn't tell the matter to the outside world, so they didn't wait for the officials to come to inquire and ask them to cooperate with investigating Baigou's case.
Of course, Su Junxia is Tao Xiude's person now, and Tao Xiude is raising Su Junxia's reputation. At this time, Su Junxia can no longer be connected with the case, which is one of the reasons why Tao Xiude didn't say anything about it.
"Why are you here?" After entering the room, Du Qingchen poured water for Su Junxia and asked.
"Come... thank you. I have always... been very grateful to you for these things." Su Junxia said coyly, he was quite embarrassed, after all, he also knew the rumors in the town, all the benefits of fame It was occupied by him alone, and Du Qingchen had nothing to do. Du Qingchen was busy with them in vain.
"That's it?" Du Qingchen laughed.
"Also... more! I plan to follow Mr. Tao! But don't worry, I will never say anything about the jade pendant!" Su Junxia said hastily, he didn't know that this matter had been unilaterally confirmed by Tao Xiude. "So, I just want to ask you, do you think it's okay for me to follow Mr. Tao?"
In fact, he just wanted to ask Du Qingchen if there was any danger in this matter, he couldn't figure it out himself.
Du Qingchen was silent for a while, "Being a thug of the Chen family is actually no different from being a servant of the Tao family, do you know?"
"Actually, I know. But, the Chen family can grow so big! It's also because of being a servant of the Kong family. I... I don't have much idea, that is, I can just be like the Chen family, of course! I will never do those things Mr. Tao also said that he would not let me do something ignorant of his conscience! So I just thought..."
"That's fine! You can do whatever you want. After all, to put it bluntly, with your ability, if you don't rely on other forces or smart people, you can at most be a gangster in the town or a shop owner, but If you are attached to the Tao family and with the help of the Tao family, maybe you can really become the second Chen family. Moreover, the Tao family will indeed not let you do illegal things like the Kong family. The Tao family has always been I cherish my own very much." Du Qingchen said the last sentence meaningfully.
"That's it! Then, I did it right this time?" Su Junxia said nervously.
"For you, it's a good thing." Du Qingchen chuckled, "Don't think so much, if it weren't for a coincidence, if you wanted to board the boat of the Tao family, they wouldn't let you on it! This is your luck! No, This is what you deserve, it was indeed you who made the decision, and I went with you to save people, Boss Su, you are indeed a good person, much better than me."
Su Junxia heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and laughed.
