Chen Shi

But before he could make a move, Master Lin did it for him. The other party came from a scholarly family and was about the same age as Lin Zhiyuan.

After Chen Zhi got the news, he was in a daze for a long time.There is a sentence that keeps circling in my mind: Immortal Epiphyllum is getting married... Immortal Epiphyllum is getting married...

When Tan Shu came over, he saw him staring out the window in a daze.It's not uncommon for Chen Zhi to be in a daze. He has seen it several times, and he is used to it. He waved to him happily: "I'm getting married."

Chen Zhi: "..." Look, Immortal Epiphyllum is really getting married.

Tan Shu said, "Aren't you happy for me?"

Chen Zhi said, "Do you like that girl?"

"How can you ask so directly?" Tan Shu stared at him with wide eyes. Just as Chen Zhi was about to apologize, he nodded shyly, "I like it." When he looked at himself carefully, he almost wanted to violate the habit of epiphyllum and bloom every day.

Chen Zhi worried: "But your life expectancy is much longer than hers, what will you do after a hundred years?"

Tan Shu wondered: "Ordinary people are also husband and wife in the first life, and they will go their separate ways in the next life. She drank Meng Po soup and will no longer remember me. I completed the task at that time, so I should go back to work."

He thought so clearly that he seemed like a mother-in-law.Chen Zhi was a little embarrassed.Plants and trees are affectionate, but they are very different from ordinary people.Maybe they are used to the prosperity of the spring and the decline of the autumn. They have other views on life, and it is obviously extremely inappropriate to impose their own views on him.

Chen Zhi said: "Then I wish you a happy marriage as soon as possible."

Tan Shu blushed slightly: "It's fine for her now, she doesn't have to be like me."

Chen Zhi thought twice before he figured out what he meant, and couldn't help laughing.

Recently, the south of the Yangtze River is full of spring.Not long after the Lin family's happy date was set, good news came from Jiangxi, saying that Hu Nianxin and the prefect Yaonu fell in love at first sight and decided to get married next month.Due to time constraints, Hu Nianxin was left in Nanchang Mansion, and the appointment and other matters were fully entrusted to Rong Yun's agency.

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded, Hu Nianxin wanted to be his son-in-law?

Not only him, but many people including Tan Shu think so, but they are full of sympathy and respect for Hu Nianxin, thinking that he sacrificed himself for the cooperation between Jiangxi and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Tan Shu said excitedly: "If I hadn't already had Xiaoxiao, I would be willing to replace it with my body."

Chen Zhi said, "Xiao Xiao is your fiancee?"

Tan Shu said shyly, "Not yet, not my fiancée."

Chen Zhi said: "If you're not a fiancée, just call her Xiaoxiao, that doesn't seem very good."

Tan Shu's face flushed red, and he said after a long while: "Anyway, you have to call out early and late. Also, although you are my friend, you can't play with a friend's wife. You call 'Xiao Xiao', it's not quite right. That's right, please pay attention."

Chen Zhi: "..."

When Rong Yun walked in, she didn't know how much she heard, but she also answered: "He is right, Master should avoid suspicion."

Chen Zhi: "..."

Chen Zhi looked at the two people on the rare united front, and said angrily: "Okay, I'll avoid suspicion now, and leave you alone." When he left, he deliberately closed the door behind him.

Just after walking for a long time, the little tadpole caught up from behind.

Rong Yun followed silently for a while, seeing that he was still ignoring her, she finally couldn't help but leaned over and whispered: "Master is angry?"

Chen Zhi glanced at him, but said nothing.

Rong Yun suddenly became anxious, quickened her pace, and jumped in front of him, reaching out to hug him, but Chen Zhi raised her foot to block her.He looked down at the feet on his chest, and said helplessly, "Master really shouldn't call other people's wives by their boudoir names."

Chen Zhi thought he was here to apologize, but he didn't think he hadn't learned enough, so he came over to make up the knife, choked up, put his feet down in discomfort, and rubbed his chest.

Rong Yun followed him nervously, and helped him beat his back: "But I can call my name whatever you want, Master."

Chen Zhi intentionally disgusted him: "Yun Yun."

Rong Yun, who was standing behind him, narrowed her eyes with a smile, but said, "Master, don't do this."

Chen Zhi immediately became addicted, "Yun Yun Yun Yun" non-stop.

Rong Yun sighed while being happy: "As long as Master is happy, I don't care."

Chen Zhi turned his head.

Rong Yun looked at him pitifully.

Chen Zhi couldn't keep shouting anymore: "What do you think about Hu Nianxin's marriage?"

Rong Yun wiped her face with still interest, walked up to Chen Zhi and said, "I listen to Master."

Chen Zhi whitened him with his eyes.

Rong Yun had no choice but to say: "Since he has made a decision, I naturally respect him. I have already asked someone to prepare the dowry. Although the time is short, there are so many shops, so it is natural to adjust it."

Chen Zhi said: "He sent out a lot of invitation letters." He emptied half of Jiangnan.

Rong Yun said: "Both his parents died, and he married far away..." Seeing Chen Zhi glaring at him, he had no choice but to change his words, "Well, I'm going to support him as a married couple in Jiangxi. It's just that the people on the list will go or not. It's not that I can control it."

Chen Zhi listened to him for a long time, but didn't get to the point, and said impatiently: "Stop! I just want to ask if he is a spy of the Southwest King."

Rong Yun nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Chen Zhi: "..." Rong Yun's attitude before nodding almost made him think that he had wronged Hu Nianxin. "You, how do you know?"

Rong Yun raised her eyebrows, looking like she was about to cry: "Master doesn't believe me?"

Chen Zhi kicked him: "Say!"

Rong Yun immediately restrained her expression, and said seriously: "I have intercepted several correspondences between him and Guangzhou, all of which are true information, and there is no possibility of falsehood or fraud. In addition, he has two sets of businesses in Mingzhou, one is Mingzhou. On the face of it, the other is to develop secretly through others, and the money goes into his private treasury."

Chen Zhi didn't expect that Hu Nianxin, who looked very shrewd, would be so careless in his actions.

Knowing his thoughts, Rong Yun couldn't laugh or cry: "Could it be that Master wants him to keep me in the dark? And he can't be careless in doing things, using charity as a guise to contact those poor people who are being helped. Those people regard him as the God of Wealth, Naturally bow your head and obey."

Chen Zhi asked, "Then how did you know?"

Rong Yun said: "He forgot that he is not the only God of Wealth in this world. He has been in Mingzhou for less than a year, and his private business has spread extremely well, requiring a lot of manpower. There are too many people, and no one can pry it open. , can’t you pry open ten or hundreds of them?”

Chen Zhi said: "In less than a year, the business has spread like this, isn't it careless?"

Rong Yun smiled.

Chen Zhi felt that there was something in his smile, so he couldn't help asking.

Rong Yun said: "I created so many opportunities for him in Mingzhou, if he doesn't seize them, he will be the successor of the Hu family in vain."

So, to put it bluntly, it was Rong Yun who set up all kinds of traps to make Hu Nian's heart jump from the beginning, and then went all over the world to catch her.Chen Zhi couldn't help touching that 14-year-old head, and said with emotion: "Where did you come up with so many ghost ideas?"

Rong Yun sighed: "For this crazy idea, I put a lot of money in it."

What is a good opportunity?opportunity to make money.

What if you can't find a good opportunity?Create at a loss.

Therefore, Rong Yun threw a lot of money into it from the very beginning, and Hu Nianxin didn't take the bait at first, and managed the Rong family's business in a strict manner.But Rong Yun was ruthless, and lost a large piece of land at an extremely low price.This is an investment that does not require too much capital, but will definitely get a high return.Hu Nianxin was really moved.From the moment he took over the land in the name of others, the wolfish ambition in his body could no longer be hidden.

Chen Zhi asked: "Since that's the case, you still let him get married?" Wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings added?

Rong Yun smiled and said: "If the wolf and the embarrassment are not kept together, how can you see the 'treacherous'?"

Chen Zhi asked, "What do you mean?"

Rong Yun sighed depressingly: "Master, you have finished asking now, so there is no room for me to play."

"How do you want to play?"

Rong Yun said enthusiastically: "Of course the marriage cannot come true. Otherwise, wouldn't I have sent the dowry gift and sent the guests into the tiger's mouth? On the eve of my plan to give the dowry gift, I 'suddenly' discovered that he had made false accounts and announced that I would break up with him." relationship, and asked Jiangxi to escort him back, as compensation, I am willing to give away half of the Hu family’s belongings.”

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard this: "What if he was really sent back?"

Rong Yun smiled and said: "Then I had to 'suddenly' find out that the Jiangxi prefect had surrendered to the Southwest King long before Fujian. I was heartbroken to be deceived, and the half of the Hu family had to stay to make up for me. "

Chen Zhi looked at him speechlessly: "What's the point of playing with them like this?"

Rong Yun said: "It's not that I want to play tricks on them, but that they want to play tricks on me. I will actively cooperate. If I don't cooperate, I don't know what kind of moth the Southwest King will make."

Chen Zhi poured cold water: "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime." The Liangzi of Chen Xuanxiang and Rong Yun is probably the real Liangzi of Chen Yingke and Cui Yan, and they will not rest until they die.

Rong Yun smiled: "One moment is enough."

Although Chen Zhi knew what Rong Yun must be planning, but the two news just now made him indigestible: "By the way, you haven't said how you know that Jiangxi surrendered to the Southwest King first."

Rong Yun said: "Master, do you remember? As soon as we arrived in Nanchang Mansion, we were discovered."

Chen Zhi nodded: "Does that mean they already knew we were coming?"

Rong Yun said: "Not only do we know that we are coming, but we also know what kind of carriage we are riding in, what we are dressed in, and maybe what we look like."

Chen Zhi immediately thought of the portrait hanging in Chen Xuanxiang's bedroom.

"Of course, this is just speculation. What really makes me suspicious is Jiangxi's attitude after Fujian surrendered to the Southwest King. It is obviously an opportunity for the lion to open his mouth. How many real benefits can be obtained, but he wants a man... not for himself , is really suspicious."

"If Jiangxi took refuge in the Southwest King from the beginning, why didn't he take us down from the beginning?" Without waiting for Rong Yun to answer, Chen Zhi continued talking to himself, "Because there are only two of us, even if we die, yes The turmoil in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not be too great. So, this time, they will use the marriage to invite half of the south of the Yangtze River." Then they wiped out all of them.

Rong Yun "suddenly" said: "I have been unable to figure out what I have been thinking about, but when the master said it, I suddenly understood."

Chen Zhi patted him on the head: "You flattering is not as good as Hu Nianxin's success."

Rong Yun sighed: "Because what I said before was the truth."

Chen Zhi said that he couldn't listen anymore, and urged him to get down to business, and went to find a place to sleep by himself.

Knowing Rong Yun's overall plan, Chen Zhi looked forward to Hu Nianxin's marriage even more, waiting for a reversal every day.After waiting for ten days, before the delivery of the dowry, Rong Yun uncovered the first scar - Hu Nianxin's two sets of business accounts in Mingzhou were made public.

Later, he canceled the wedding, and wrote a letter to apologize to Jiangxi prefect, claiming that as long as Hu Nianxin was escorted back, he was willing to give away half of the Hu family's property.

The money is so attractive that almost everyone thinks that the prefect will not refuse, including Rong Yun.

But unexpectedly, he refused.

The prefect of Jiangxi wrote a letter to reprimand Rong Yun for despising Hu Yue, occupying Hu's family, and crowding out Hu Nianxin.

After Chen Zhi found out, he ran to laugh at Xiao Yun: "I didn't expect Rong Shen to be bad at times."

Rong Yun pouted: "Master, I'm so sad, come and comfort me."

Chen Zhi said: "It's rare to have someone like Jiangxi's prefect who is not greedy for money. We should be happy for this clean world."

Rong Yun: "..."

Chen Zhi couldn't stand his melancholy eyes, and ran to find Tan Shu.

Tan Shu was staring at the pond in a daze.

Chen Zhi threw a big rock down, and the water splashed his face.

Tan suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Zhi blankly.

Chen Zhi said with a serious face: "What are you thinking?"

Tan Shu said sadly: "Xiaoxiao refuses to see me. After the first meeting, we have been exchanging letters. I asked to meet her several times, but was rejected."

Chen Zhi said: "A girl's family always has the reserve of a girl's family."

Tan Shu said, "I want to visit her at night."

"Night visits to the boudoir, lonely men and widows, plums in the melon fields..."

"You go with me."

"……OK."

It was the first time to accompany someone to steal jade and incense, Chen Zhi attached great importance to it, not only changed into night clothes, but also covered his face.In contrast, Tan Shu's attire can only be described as "beautiful".Wearing a shiny lake-blue brocade gown with a jade belt inlaid with huge rubies around her waist, she is always eye-catching wherever she goes.

Chen Zhi commented: "Slightly high-profile."

Tan Shu turned around shyly: "Will Xiao Xiao like it?"

Chen Zhi said pertinently: "It depends on whether she loves money or not."

The two sneaked into Xiao Xiao's house, and Tan Shu walked to the small boudoir familiarly.Chen Zhi laughed and said: "Old horse knows the way, it seems that this is not the first time for you."

Tan Shu said, "Before I came, I asked the Lord of the Land."

Chen Zhi said, "...the Landlord even cares about this?"

"I didn't care about it at first, but I gave him a bottle of Epiphyllum Jade Dew."

Chen Zhi: "..." Immortals are also corrupt.

The two arrived at the door of the boudoir, only to find that the door was open, and Xiao Xiao was arguing with his father.

Seeing Xiaoxiao lying sickly on the bed, Tan Shu was anxious and almost couldn't control himself to rush out, but the father and daughter talked next and asked him to stay where he was.

After coming out of Xiaoxiao's house, Tan Shu seemed to be withered, dejected and unable to cheer up.

Chen Zhi couldn't see it, so he invited him to the winery for a drink.

Tan Shu said, "I don't drink well."

……

Then he sat in the wine shop and drank two jars in one go.

Chen Zhi watched him go to lift the third altar, and hurriedly reached out to stop him: "Aren't you a bad drinker?"

Tan Shu thought for a while and said, "It is true, but being drunk can relieve a thousand worries."

"When I wake up, I'm even more worried." Chen Zhi snatched the wine jar and put it behind him.

Tan Shu said blankly: "Xiao Xiao has already gotten along with her cousin and has a child."

Chen Zhi reminded him: "There are no more children."

Tan Shu nodded, crying sadly: "How sad she must have been at that time."

Chen Zhi felt that he who almost wore a cuckold looked even sadder: "How do you plan to deal with this marriage?" It's simple, but Tan Shu has already been hired, but it's a bit troublesome to deal with it.

He didn't know how the grass and trees looked at this kind of thing, and he didn't dare to make his own claims. After all, flowers, plants and trees love green.

Tan Shu said: "She doesn't like me, so she will never be happy. I will match her up with her cousin."

Chen Zhi couldn't help being moved: "How to match?"

The little cousin received a letter in the name of the little father, saying that he already knew about the matter with Xiaoxiao, and asked him to come to the mansion to discuss the marriage.The little cousin knew that he was a poor scholar, not good enough for his cousin, and knew that she was booked for Master Lin Zhiyuan, so he could only weep secretly. Now that he saw the letter, he was naturally overjoyed. He put on the most decent clothes and bought some Gift visits.

The little father didn't know about this at all, he heard that he was about to beat him out immediately, at this time, the old housekeeper of Lin's mansion arrived and handed back the marriage certificate in person.

There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, and each other can understand each other's meaning.

The little father was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it, he accepted the marriage letter without saying a word, and even sent him out respectfully.

Before leaving, the old butler conveyed Tan Shu's words: "The young master said, even ants live by stealth, let alone flesh and blood?"

The little daddy's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground. After returning home, seeing the scholar was not pleasing to the eye, he could only swallow his anger and discuss the marriage with him.

Chen Zhi and Tan Shu were waiting for news from the old butler at Lin's house.

After listening, Chen Zhi looked at Tan Shu worriedly, afraid that he would be overwhelmed.

Tan Shu said: "Actually, Lin Zhiyuan and Xiaoxiao are not a predestined couple."

Chen Zhi was surprised.In his mind, Tan Shu has always followed the way of heaven, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.

Tan Shu said embarrassedly: "Because Huang Gui didn't record Lin Zhiyuan's marriage, he didn't mention it at all, so I wanted to try it."

Chen Zhi said, "What about Hu Nianxin?"

Tan Shu said: "Yes, she is a cousin from Rong Yun's mother's family."

Chen Zhi asked: "Then what should we do now?" Are we going to ruin the wedding between Hu Nianxin and the eunuch's daughter?

Tan Shu said, "That's the business of the heavenly government."

……

Chen Zhi nodded: "Then I can rest assured."

A month ago, Lin Zhiyuan and Hu Nianxin were the bridegrooms that everyone envied in Hangzhou. In the blink of an eye, the two marriages fell apart one after another.Rumors suddenly spread in the city, saying that Rong Yun's fate is hard, that he can control his father and mother against his friends, and that only a living god like Chen Beili can be safe and sound by his side.

When Chen Zhi heard the rumors, he immediately went to find Rong Yun.

Rong Yun categorically denied it: "Although I really want to be with Master, I won't make fun of Lin Zhiyuan's marriage."

Chen Zhi said, "Then you swear."

"I swear, if I spread the rumors in the city, I will be punished for not becoming emperor for the rest of my life... oh!"

Chen Zhi firmly pressed his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!" Who is this punishment? "Tell me, and I will punish you for not being a cucumber for the rest of your life!"

Rong Yun wondered, "What do you mean you can't be a cucumber for the rest of your life?"

"How do I know, anyway, you're right to say that!" Huang Li, Huang He, Cucumber... As long as it's not the emperor, Huang can do anything.

Rong Yun had no choice but to repeat it.

Chen Zhi thought for a while, and added: "And he will be abandoned by Master."

Rong Yun's eyes widened, and she looked at him with heartache, as if she couldn't think that he would make such a vicious oath.

Chen Zhi urged: "Speak quickly."

Rong Yun walked out with tears in her eyes.

Chen Zhi asked, "Where are you going?"

Rong Yun turned her head, and two big teardrops fell down: "I'm going to face the wall."

Poor Chen Zhi couldn't help but pull him back, patted him on the back, and coaxed him softly: "It's okay, Master will wait for you, and you will swear after crying."

Rong Yun: "..." If there were some acting elements just now, then this time I will really cry.

Chen Zhi was still sarcastic: "As long as you didn't spread the rumors, you don't have to be afraid."

Rong Yun said: "Who knows if the gods in the sky are deaf and hard-of-hearing, what if they hear something wrong?"

Chen Zhi said silently in his heart: You are the one who is deaf and hard of hearing.

Rong Yun could tell from his eyes that he was distracted again, she shook her shoulders and said, "Master, continue to shoot, don't stop."

Chen Zhi patted it heavily: "Are you comfortable?"

Rong Yun almost fell to the ground, and after sitting still, she looked at him faintly: "As long as Master beats me, I like it."

Chen Zhi got goosebumps, turned to leave, but was held back by Rong Yun: "I have something to tell Master."

Chen Zhi asked absently, "What's the matter?"

"The King of the Southwest is going to make an alliance with the North in Changsha, I want to go and see."

"...Such important news should not be announced sooner!"

Rong Yun asked: "Master, would you like to go with me?" Having learned the lesson from last time, she knew to ask respectfully.

Chen Zhi said: "Since it is an alliance, the King of Southwest must have prepared for it long ago. As the leader of Jiangnan, you should not be in danger."

Rong Yun said: "Master, don't worry. Jiangxi is a pawn he used to paralyze me, so that we can think that his energy is still focused on Fujian and Jiangxi. It happened that the old man in Jiangxi was in a fight with me, so I will follow the plan and continue to communicate with him. , let him think that I am still kept in the dark."
