Fenghou

As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed at the door: "I'll answer this question for you!"

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a middle-aged man walking in from the door. He was about 40 years old, tall and fat, with a pair of eyes that were particularly flexible, and he looked very shrewd.

Hu Yantong was stunned, and quickly got up and said, "Third Uncle, why are you here?"

"What are you talking about? Shouldn't your fat third uncle be here?"

Hu Yantong quickly introduced to Chen Qing and the others: "This is my third uncle, Huyan Zhengyan. Our family's business is managed by him."

Chen Qing and the others greeted quickly, and Hu Yantong introduced Chen Qing and others to the third uncle. Hu Yan Zhengyan smiled and said: "General Chen, I know, the news of the morning court has spread in Lin'an City. After being beaten in such a disgraceful manner, General Chen is a frightening young man!"

"Third Uncle Huyan, please take a seat!"

Huyan Zhengyan is the third son of the Huyan family, and he has a vain job as a Jianzhou regiment trainer. He is actually a businessman and has flourished in the mall. Although he is not in the officialdom, he knows everything about the officialdom.

Huyan Zhengyan sat down, smiled and said to Chen Qing: "The minister is the highest level of Lang Guan, and above it is the seventh-rank doctor Wuyi. In fact, if General Chen is a commander, then he should be a doctor. Maybe it's because you are still studying martial arts, so you haven't made a breakthrough.

In addition, Zhizhi Qinzhou military is also called Qinzhou Zhizhishi, which is actually managing Qinzhou. The military and political power of Qinzhou is in your hands. Of course, Qinzhou is currently in the hands of Jinren, so this Zhizhi Qinzhou The military is still short-sighted. In the future, when Qinzhou is recaptured, you can take up the post. "

Just as he was talking, a tall and thin man came in from the door, "Master Huyan, please think again!"

Masahiko Huyan refused straight away, "I told you, it's impossible, you go find someone else to cooperate!"

Chapter 74 Investment

Hu Yantong frowned, "Third uncle, why did you get involved with the Qi family? Beware of grandpa getting angry!"

Huyan Zhengyan smiled wryly and said: "This is what your grandfather meant, but the negotiation failed. Their Qi family is only willing to pay [-] yuan, and insists on taking the title away. How is it possible?"

Hu Yantong whispered to Chen Qing: "This Qi family is the family of Qi Yun, one of Wang Bo's best friends. My fourth aunt is Qi Yun's aunt. My father has always disliked the Qi family."

Chen Qing's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "What's going on? Do you want to do business together?"

Huyan Zhengyan has a very easy-going personality and does not put on airs of elders at all. Although Huyantong is his nephew, the relationship between the two of them is like brothers.

Now that Chen Qing asked, Huyan Zhengyan didn't hide anything, and said to Chen Qing: "Our Huyan family basically spent all their money on land purchases. We bought a lot of land in Suzhou and Lin'an City. Now we want to open a few more Hukou restaurants, but the money is not enough. It’s not enough, so we consider a partnership, we will give the land, and the other party will pay for it. Today, we will talk with the Qi family. We will offer five acres of land, and the other party will pay [-] yuan. It’s ours, but the Qi family insisted on naming it, so we can’t talk about it.”

Chen Qing hesitated and asked, "If I want to vote too, can I?"

Chen Qing had just received 3000 taels of silver from the emperor, and he wanted to invest it, but he had no channel, so he happened to meet Huyan Zhengyan.

Huyan Zhengyan laughed and said: "General Chen is Wulang's friend, of course you can vote if you want to, but at least you have to have [-] yuan."

"Excuse me, third uncle, what is the current exchange rate between silver and money?"

Masahiko Huyan blurted out, "The official price is one to two, but the market price is still one to five. In business, the market price is generally used!"

"What if I cast [-] guan?"

Huyan Zhengyan's eyes lit up, "If my brother is willing to invest [-] guan, I can partner with you in the land of Fengyumen. Half of the family will be close to the West Lake. The location is the best. I wonder what conditions my brother has?"

"I don't have any conditions. It's enough for the third uncle to pay me dividends every year."

Masahiko Huyan smiled so brightly that he didn't interfere with the business and only needed to share dividends every year. Such a partner was hard to find.

Hu Yantong was in a hurry, Chen Qing was his friend, how could he hastily decide to invest money, he quickly said: "Old Chen, let's go to the latrine!"

When the two walked out of the private room, Hu Yantong complained in a low voice: "Our family only spent more than 1000 yuan to buy that piece of land, but you have to invest [-] yuan. Don't be too hotheaded!"

Chen Qing smiled slightly, "How much is it worth now?"

"Now it's worth more than 1 yuan, but this kind of restaurant investment is very risky. If the business is not good, you will lose money. You'd better think carefully before making a decision, and you must not be impulsive."

Chen Qing also felt that he was a little impulsive, and he didn't even know where the restaurant was. Even if he cooperated with the Huyan family, he needed to be cautious.

"I see, let's go and see!"

Chen Qing suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "Have you asked about your grandfather's halberd technique?"

"I didn't get promoted before, and I didn't go home. Now that I have made meritorious service, my father has nothing to say. I will go back tonight and ask my grandfather."

……

At the same moment when Chen Qing was celebrating in Hukou Restaurant, Wang Huan slapped Wang Bo to the ground in Wang Bo's mansion.

Wang Huan said furiously: "You bastard, you have dragged me down because of your shit, now I am dismissed from office, you are happy!"

This slap was so hard that Wang Bo's cheeks were swollen. He covered his face and said angrily, "It's your own incompetence. If you can find evidence, why are you in such a mess today?"

"Fart! Chen Qing can't find a reason at all. How can I find evidence? Your uncle asked me to go, but he trampled me to death in the end. Who will work for you in the future? You must give me an explanation today. I lost my job because of you, what do you say?"

Wang Bo also knew he was wrong. He thought for a while and said, "Why don't you wait a little longer. When the limelight passes, I'll ask my aunt to ask my uncle to find another job for you. Don't blame him."

What Wang Huan wanted was the same sentence. Although he hated Qin Hui to the bone, he also knew that he had to rely on Qin Hui if he wanted to be reinstated. This hatred could only be suppressed in his heart.

"Brother, I heard that Fan Zongyin resigned, is it true?"

"He resigned, but the officials didn't approve it. They just called him to scold him. Fan Zongyin is really an idiot. This kind of thing should be done in private, but he insisted on debating it in the court, and finally it was made public. Slap in the face!"

When Wang Huan talked about slapping his face, Wang Bo couldn't help touching his hot face, and he felt angry again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, I will take care of this Chen Qing!"

"You should be more confident! Otherwise, it's useless to say ten thousand harsh words."

"What can I do, the emperor has already received him, and even appointed him as the commander..."

"Hmph! That's because you won't seize the opportunity. You won't go to the barracks for a day in the military training competition next month. What will you use to participate? Let alone martial arts No. 1, you may even be in the top ten." No."

Wang Bo also snorted, "I have my own arrangements for training and competitions, so don't worry about it!"

……

At night, Qin Hui lay down exhausted, but saw his wife Wang ignoring him with her back on her back.

Qin Hui laughed, his wife was unhappy when he returned home today, of course he knew the reason.

"Wang Huan was only temporarily dismissed. Later, I will arrange a small position and promote him slowly. You don't have to worry about it."

Wang turned around and glared at her husband, saying: "He is doing things for you, even if he doesn't have any credit, he still has to work hard. How can you just dismiss others from office like you, who will dare to do things for you in the future?"

"What you said is wrong. No one outside knows that he is doing things for me. The whole court will only praise me for killing relatives righteously. This time I also miscalculated. If I didn't react quickly, I would be implicated by Fan Zongyin today. Don't worry! Huan was wronged on my behalf, and I will make it up to him in the future."

Although Wang was angry with her husband, since the husband agreed to make amends, the anger in her heart disappeared.

"Husband, what's going on today? I heard that the officials are actually helping this Chen Qing. He has such a big face? He's not even as good as him?"

"Don't listen to the rumors outside. It's just the opinion of some stupid couples. If you really believe their words, you won't know how you died in the end. How could the officials offend Xiangguo for a young general of the Western Army!"

"Then what's the reason?" Wang was somewhat interested.

"I told you last time that on the surface this incident was aimed at a young general of the Western Army, but in fact it was a struggle between Fan Zongyin and Zhang Jun. Fan Zongyin was able to become a husband because Zhang Jun went to Sichuan and Shaanxi. Once Zhang Jun When Jun returns to the court, Fan Zongyin is very likely to be dismissed, and the two have opposing political views, so the two have always been political enemies."

"Oh! I see. The Son of Heaven is helping that Chen Qing on the surface, but he is actually helping Zhang Jun."

Qin Hui sighed, "I have never figured out why the emperor favored Zhang Jun and refused to hold Zhang Jun accountable. I didn't realize until today that the battle of Fuping was actually arranged by the officials. Zhang Jun's defeat in Fuping was for the officials. It’s just a scapegoat, so the officials will do everything possible to downplay the battle of Fuping, Fan Zongyin doesn’t understand, he has to focus on Zhang Jun’s defeat of Fuping, so what happened today.”

"It seems that Commander Chen Qingfeng also got shit luck!" Mrs. Wang thought of the cry of her nephew Wang Bo today.

"That's not necessarily the case. Now it's obvious that civil servants can't fight wars. In the end, they have to rely on military generals. Liu Miao's change made the officials not trust these generals, so he wanted to personally promote a group of young generals. The previous Yue Fei was promoted because of this. For this reason, Chen Qing is also like this this time, but..."

Speaking of this, Qin Hui sneered, "That Fan Zongyin is notoriously narrow-minded, Chen Qing slapped him in the face in public, he will definitely not let Chen Qing go, Chen Qing will have shoes to wear in the future."

"Don't talk about Chen Qing, Chen Qing, I'm not interested in him, you should take care of your nephew!"

Wang said to her husband with a displeased face: "Chen Qing has been promoted, does Bo'er have no chance at all?"

Qin Hui thought for a while and said: "There is an opportunity. The next military training competition is arranged by the officials, and the momentum is very loud. We must let Wang Bo seize this opportunity."

Wang said hesitantly: "Today, Bo'er came to ask me for this matter. I promised him that the master would definitely help him."

Qin Hui's face darkened, "If I want to help him with everything, he can't rely on himself?"

"Husband, won't Wang Boruo be reused for you in the end? Helping him is also helping yourself!"

Knowing her husband is more like a wife, Mrs. Wang is well aware of her husband's biggest weakness at present, that is, his weak foundation in the officialdom and too few confidants. Mrs. Wang's arrow hit Qin Hui's vitals.

This is called pillow wind.

"Forget it! Let me think about it."

Chapter 75 Mouth Fight

Before dawn the next day, Chen Qing arranged for a day of military training, and he took a moment to ride to Fengyu Gate.

Fengyu Gate is located in the middle of Lin'an City, close to the West Lake. Chen Qing saw Huyan Zhengyan waiting for him at the gate from a distance. Chen Qing got off his horse and smiled, "I've kept Uncle Huyan waiting for a long time."

"Hehe! I'm just here too, let's go outside the city!"

Chen Qing was startled, "The plot is outside the city?"

"Of course it's outside the city. The closer it is to the West Lake, the better the location. In the future, you can see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake when you sit in a restaurant. That's a first-class location."

"But what about going back to the city at night?"

This was also what Chen Qing was most worried about. He found that the gates of the city were closed very early, and every time they had a party, they were not happy and had to rush out of the city to go to the military camp.

Huyan Zhengyan smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about that, the city wall on the side of the West Lake will be demolished soon, leaving only the city gate, so that the imperial court can get a lot of land, otherwise there is no place for the official residence to be repaired." , Everyone knows this news, so the land by the West Lake is getting more and more expensive, and the price varies every month. A month ago, the land price of the West Lake was still [-] guan per mu, but now it has risen to [-] guan.”

The two soon came to the land of the Huyan family. It was indeed close to the West Lake, less than [-] steps away from the West Lake. Many lands here were under construction, and it was extremely lively. The size of the land was about four acres, and they could Build a restaurant and a big yard.

"Is there no one buying the lot in front?" Chen Qing asked, pointing to the lot in front that was closer to the lake.

Huyan Zhengyan said proudly: "The land in front is not allowed to build houses. It belongs to the land of the government. I heard that a large cruise ship dock will be built. It will be very lively in the future. There are restaurants, teahouses, inns, brothels, and teaching houses all around. Fang."

The location is indeed very good, Chen Qing was very satisfied, he said happily: "Then it's decided, the official will reward me with 3000 taels of silver, and I will invest all of it."

Huyan Zhengyan was overjoyed and said: "Go to my house for dinner at noon! Let's sign the contract by the way, and then the old man wants to see you."

……

Hu Yanqing's grandfather was called Huyan Feihu, who was also a member of the Western Army. He was granted the title of Marquis of Jinchang. He just passed his 70th birthday at the beginning of the year.

When Chen Qing saw him, he was instructing his 13-year-old grandson, Huyancha, to practice the whip in the pavilion in the back garden. The iron whip can be said to be a family stunt of the Huyan family. Their ancestor Huyanzan used a pair of iron whips to beat all over the world.

The iron whip is a striking weapon, which is actually the same thing as a mace and a hammer.

However, Huyancha danced like practicing sword, his moves were dazzling, and the wind was whistling, making people worry that he would break his head with a whip.

At this time, Huyan Zhengyan stepped forward to whisper a few words to his father, and then pointed at Chen Qing, Huyan Feihu turned to look at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing hastily stepped forward, knelt down and paid respects, "Chen Qing, my junior, see Mr. Huyan!"

Huyan Feihu looked Chen Qing up and down, his rough eyebrows gradually raised, "You killed Wanyan Loushi?"

Chen Qing knew it was bad as soon as he heard it. Hu Yantong said that his grandfather was known as a martial arts idiot, and his biggest hobby was to compete with masters. It doesn't matter if he likes martial arts competitions, the key is that he can't afford to lose.

The old man is a martial arts theorist, he can say everything logically, but his own martial arts are stinky.

But he also likes to compete with masters, and most people don't like it. If you let him win, he won't do it, saying you are not sincere, and if you let him lose, he will not do it, saying you don't give face.

So this is what it means to be old and young. The older a person is, the more he looks like a child.

In fact, Chen Qing didn't care much about his halberd technique. A person who loses ten to nine in a martial arts competition probably isn't very good at halberd technique?

Chen Qing, like other people who visited Mr. Huyan, had another thought.

The old man has treasures, he has a large collection of high-quality weapons, especially the halberds he uses himself, he has collected more than a dozen halberds alone, and he has a Fangtian painted halberd weighing fifty catties, which is said to be the only one in the Song Dynasty, which makes Chen Qing very happy Yearn for.

"It's the junior!"

"Being able to kill Wanyan Loushi must have some martial arts skills, so he is qualified to fight with me, let's go! Let's go to the martial arts training ground and have a good fight."

Huyan Masahiko's face was so frightened that he didn't know how to persuade his father.

Chen Qing said calmly, "Old man, I'm afraid I can't compete with you yet?"

"why?"

Chen Qing pointed to his left shoulder, "I was shot by a Jurchen arrow here, and my muscles and bones were injured. The military doctor said it would take at least half a year to recover."

Hu Yanfeihu's face darkened, "Yesterday Xiao Wulang said you killed Zhang Kui, how did you do it?"

Chen Qing secretly complained that Hu Yantong was talking too much, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "How can an ant thief like Zhang Kui compare with your old man?"

This flattery made even Masahiko Huyan feel ashamed.

Huyan Feihu immediately relaxed his beard and hair, and the [-] pores on his body felt as refreshed as if he had eaten ginseng fruit.

It is estimated that he has not been praised like this for many years.

"I didn't expect you to be quite discerning. It's a pity. I thought you were qualified to compete with me. Hey! Then it will only be next time."

It seems that flattery can't solve the problem. If Chen Qing wants to get Huyan Feihu's baby, he still has to show his real skills to let Huyan Feihu win him.

Chen Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Old man, why don't we change the way of fighting!"
