The Chen family has a daughter to marry

Chapter 50:

Chen Xiaobaa looks lazy and careless on weekdays, but once he starts to do something, he must put all his strength and energy into it.

For example, on the second day after I met my friend Chang Ju in the Longyin Pavilion, the very popular third lady of the Shen family announced without any warning that she would browse through the entire building's collection of books, and sent her servants to read the martial arts secret books in the attic from the bottom up. Shen took them one by one, closed the door and did not allow anyone to visit, and gnawed on the books tirelessly day and night.

A servant of the pavilion claimed that Chen Xiaobaa studied books so hard that from the dead of night until the rooster crowed, one could see the shadow of candles shaking in Miss San's room, and the thin figure was reflected on the yellow window paper, holding a book or writing with a pen. The month has never been interrupted, and its hard work can be seen.

Not to mention Chen Xiaobaa, at this very moment, a handsome man in clean white clothes is rushing to the "Xianxian Yuan" located in the southeast corner of Shen's mansion under the order of "the world's number one businessman" Shen Lifang. .

The wind blows, the young master's long swing flutters, a few strands of loose hair stick to his cheeks due to sweat, the narrow and long phoenix eyes that seem to be smiling all the time have captured the hearts of many women, and the handsome face that is already speechless shows a bit of impatience ——Chang Ju couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart: "His grandma, there are not many ghosts in Shen's residence, why is the place so big?"

Fortunately, in a hurry, Mr. Jun finally arrived at the "Xianxianyuan" as scheduled. The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and the two clever children were poking their heads in front of the door. This man walks really slowly, the master has been waiting for a long time!"

The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon of the Shen family, even when facing the little boy in front of him, although Chang Ju was annoyed in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, nodded and bowed in obedience, and was led into the yard by the little boy.

The temperature in the north is gloomy and cold all the year round, and it is freezing cold most of the time of the year. However, this "Xianxianyuan" is extremely abnormal. The walls and walls seem to be tight, but when you enter it, you feel the chill disappearing for two seconds. Not to mention the warmth, there are also peach blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard, and pink petals falling all over the ground.

What a "Xianxianyuan", does Shen Lifang want to "I feel like a fairy in my spare time"-Chang Ju is a little bit hostile to the rich for no reason, sniffing the rich fragrance of flowers in the air, and walking toward the peach blossoms without stopping. The old man who sat on the ground under the tree and was studying the rosewood chess game with his chin straightened, walked.

The old man Shen Lifang's appearance is really ordinary, and he wears brocade and silk shirts that are mostly ordinary rich people's. If he is not convinced that he is Shen Lifang, even if he is killed, he will not compare the person in front of him with the "No. [-] in the world" A businessman" contact.

But at this moment, in this fairyland-like Taoyuan, the leisurely and ordinary old man seemed to have a bit of fairy air, and he finally echoed the demeanor that "the number one businessman in the world" in Chang Ju's mind should have.

"For late students, see Mr. Shen..."

Chang Ju bowed and saluted, but Shen Lifang didn't even look at it, he raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh, don't talk."

Master Shen's tone was quite serious, and Chang Ju's body trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head and stood aside, not even daring to take a breath.

I saw Shen Lifang holding a sunspot between his two fingers, he was hesitating, after a long time, he finally landed on the chessboard with a loud sound, he seemed to have survived the most difficult thing in the world, the old man showed a smug smile, unconsciously laughed and said: "The chess game is like this The world is in chaos, and the son of the gods slaughters the dragon; if you want to ask who I am, Father Shen will plan the plan!"

Shen Lifang looked at the chess game he had completed, and the haughty Chao Wansheng junior Chang Ju beckoned, the young master dared not be negligent, hurriedly came forward, bowed his hands to Shen Lifang, and opened his mouth to flatter him sincerely: " Master Shen is truly a heavenly man, not only good at business, but also has made great achievements in flower art and chess, this kind of elegance is really beyond admiration."

Shen Lifang smiled openly, motioning for Chang Ju to sit beside him: "Little nephew, take a look at how this chess game goes."

"Yes." Chang Ju took a peek at Shen Lifang, who looked expectantly, lowered his eyebrows and agreed, and then looked at the chess game. It's okay if you don't look at it, but you are surprised when you look at it!

"This... this..." Chang Jushou seemed speechless, how could the current chess game be called a chess game? ——Black and white chess does not show the unpredictable murderous intent as expected, but has a kind of urchin's nonsense. This kind of chess skill is actually Shen Lifang's "Immortal Luo Zi Slays the Dragon"?

"How about it? Nephew, you can just say it straight." Seeing Shen Lifang's satisfaction with his own chess game, Chang Juxiang felt that if he told the truth, he would definitely not live until tomorrow.

Hastily put away his astonished face, the handsome man solemnly raised his thumbs up and praised: "Wonderful, really wonderful, I think back then when Miss Shen San and I were traveling in the rivers and lakes, we once set up a Zhenlong chess game that baffled the heroes of the world, and the chess-reading players There are countless, but I never thought that there are masters in the world who are good at chess to the highest level."

Master Shen waved his hands and said with a smile: "Little nephew's words will embarrass the old man."

Chang Ju made persistent efforts: "Master Shen is so modest, I don't know how many people who call themselves literati feel ashamed."

Shen Lifang laughed loudly, patted Chang Ju on the shoulder vigorously, waved his hand and said to the little boy beside him: "Chang Ju is an upright person, and the reward is one hundred taels."

Chang Ju thanked him, and after that, not only did he not want to look at the weird chessboard anymore, he said to Shen Lifang respectfully, "I don't know why Master Shen summoned you?"

Shen Lifang picked up a white jade bottle and wine jug, and personally filled the cups for the two of them: "No hurry, little nephew, let me tell you first, can you still get used to living in this Shen residence?"

Chang Ju said hurriedly: "Naturally, the Shen family is the richest place in the world. Chang Ju didn't make any contribution to live in this fairyland. Up to now, it seems like a dream. I really feel terrified."

"Young nephew, there's no need to panic." Shen Lifang smiled softly: "My daughter had troubles a few years ago, and she was living in the rivers and lakes thanks to my little nephew's support all the way. This is what my little nephew deserves."

"Where..." Chang Ju was stunned unconsciously, as if the night he met Chen Xiaobaa reappeared in his eyes. The girl who looked like a beggar was not a beauty who was so beautiful that she tore off half of her body. The biscuits were handed to the dumbfounded Chang Ju, with a treacherous smile—a helpless smile appeared on the corner of the handsome man's mouth, he shook his head lightly and sighed softly: "It's because I was taken care of by Miss San..."

A little boy came to Shen Lifang holding a box of gold, Shen Lifang pouted impatiently: "What do you do for me, go and give it to Mr. Chang."

Chang Ju sat with his chest upright, stretched out his hands to respectfully hold the heavy box, and placed it beside him without even looking at the amount of gold and silver in it, waiting for Shen Lifang to show it.

Shen Lifang is the "No. [-] businessman in the world" and the shrewdest businessman in the world. How can he really spend money like water, just a mere insincere compliment? Cube has something to ask for, and Changju has something to answer.

Conversing with smart people is comfortable——Shen Lifang smiled even wider, but in an instant it turned into a frown, sighed and asked: "Little nephew, looking at the current piss, Xiaobaa is determined to go to Beihan." , what do you think about this?"

Chang Ju said solemnly: "You must not let Miss San go to Beihan!"

"Why?" Shen Lifang asked.

Chang Ju answered: "Beihan is a place where death is inevitable. Are there still few master masters who die under the sword of Jun Yiran? The third lady loves that 'white woman' because she is young and frivolous. If I were her elder brother, even if I abolished her Wu Yi, let her stay in the Shen family."

Shen Lifang narrowed his eyes, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Abandoned her martial arts? How can an elder brother do such vicious things?"

Chang Ju said with a negative smile: "Compared to Miss San's life, everything is insignificant."

Shen Lifang smiled ghostly and spoke to the end, he couldn't help but sighed with a bitter face: "It's a pity that Mr. Meng's death is for nothing."

As for the original name of "Old Man Meng", I am afraid that even Shen Lifang does not know it. As early as in the rivers and lakes where Sima Lanhua's female devil had never appeared, I heard that the man who was good at using ghost claws had actually set foot in the realm of masters. However, after Sima Lanhua's defeat in the battle, he was knocked down to the mortal world, and his realm plummeted, along with his pride of being so arrogant in the past.

As he got older, the old man gradually hunched his back, and it seemed that he would never be able to return to his original state. He was depressed all day long, and finally fell to the point of being a boatman for Shen Lifang.

On that day, Shen Lifang told Mr. Meng that he had a plan, which was to ask Zhao Youning, who is good at making poison, to smear the poison on Mr. Meng's ghost claw iron hook. At that time, Mr. Meng would come on stage to play the black face. A little skin can make it difficult for a baby girl to practice martial arts for the rest of her life. If this is the case, maybe she can give up the idea of ​​going north and stay with Shen Lifang honestly, right?

Shen Lifang promised to give him a lot of martial arts cheats in the building to practice, and Mr. Meng readily agreed, but when he got the reward, Shen Han'er who chased him twisted his head and became an abandoned child.

A dead man can never open his mouth, Shen Lifang thinks that the fake show is perfect, although he is sorry for his loyal old servant, he has no regrets at all, even if Chen Xiaobaa finds out the reason in the future, he only needs to save Chen Xiaobaa's life and be worthy of that A simple and honest woman who Shen Lifang once felt sorry for, no matter how he would be abused by her own daughter in the future, anyway, after Shen Lifang died, she would throw away all of the Shen family's foundation and hand over all of the Shen family's foundation to her precious daughter, what could Chen Xiaobaa do to him?

"How did you know?" Thinking of Chen Xiaobaa's despondent study after meeting Chang Ju, Shen Lifang's sharp eyes seemed to reveal a hole in the handsome man's body in front of him.

"Master Shen, don't misunderstand, this is something that my nephew heard some rumors and just thought of it recently, how dare you gossip in front of the third lady." Chang Ju negative quickly explained.

Shen Lifang's appearance when he was thinking was exactly the same as Chen Xiaobaa's. Although the expression on his face was simple and amiable, there was an imperceptible cunning in his eyes: "How could I suspect my little nephew? In the Rilong Hidden Pavilion, Xiaobaa drove away the servants, what did he talk to you about?"

Chang Juzhang complained unceasingly, and quickly replied: "Miss San and I are just reminiscing about the old days, talking about old things, and dismissing the servants is just because those embarrassing things are too embarrassing to explain to outsiders."

At this time, a little boy reported: "Master, the eldest son, the eldest lady, and the second lady are asking to see you outside the door."

Shen Lifang nodded indifferently, and the scholarly Shen Qianwen, the elegant and calm Shen Yifan, and the delicate and cute Shen Anke came to Yan's father one by one, knelt down and bowed down: "Meet my father."

"En." Shen Lifang nodded indifferently, while Chang Jushou had already stepped aside and did not dare to look directly at these Shen family children. This kind of etiquette is comparable to that of monarchs and ministers, how can it be related to the relationship between father and children?

"What's the matter?" Shen Lifang was quite impatient with the uninvited arrival of the three children.

Seeing this, Shen Yifan quickly expressed his intention: "Father, have you forgotten that tonight is your birthday."

Shen Lifang suddenly realized: "Oh, I completely forgot about this matter."

The womanizer Chen Xiaobaa was all in her mind——Shen Anke was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it outright.

The eldest son Shen Qianwen said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, the banquet for the whole town is ready for the evening, we just came to let father know."

Shen Lifang nodded with a smile on his face: "You can see for yourself."

After a pause, he suddenly said, "Let's have dinner together as a family in the evening, and call your third sister."

Shen Qianwen smiled wryly: "I've already been there."

"Oh? Then what?"

"I was beaten out by the third sister with a broom."

Shen Lifang laughed out loud, everyone in front of him was stunned except for Shen Qianwen, it seemed that just mentioning Chen Xiaobaa would immediately improve Shen Lifang's mood.

"Go! Go invite again! Even if your third sister beats her to death, invite her here!" Shen Lifang urged his son.

Shen Qianwen had a bitter face, and after resigning, he had to go back to the Longma Pavilion in a hurry. Shen Yifan and Shen An had nothing to say and just about to resign, a little boy shouted outside the door: "Master, Wudang Wang and Heroine are asking to see you."

"What kind of wind is blowing today, why did it bring all these people here?" Shen Lifang smiled and said, "Come in, please!"

But after a while, the heroic Wang Danxia came to Shen Lifang with a sword in one hand and Xiao Zhu'er who was yelling and yelling in the other.

"Junior Wang Danxia pays homage to Master Shen—"

"Wang Danxia, ​​you shameless stinky woman, how does Chen Xiaobaa treat you? Su Cheng saved your life and was more tolerant of your temper, but you betrayed your trust and followed the wind for a few shabby cheats! You even pig Dogs are worse than-"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and then the latter let out a miserable snort, and was hit on the back of the neck by the calm Wang Danxia, ​​knocking him unconscious.

Master Shen smiled and said: "Why are you so polite, niece, what do you need to come here in person? Could it be that you can't find a satisfactory martial arts secret book in the Longma Pavilion?"

Wang Danxia looked at Shen Lifang with gratitude in his eyes: "No, no, Master Shen is so kind, Wang Danxia can't repay even if her body is broken into pieces, and the bloody enemy will definitely do bullshit for you, it's just...it's just that I've been here for two years. There's more than a month left, counting the time, it's almost time to set off for Beihan, so I'm here to bid farewell to Master Shen..."

Seeing that Wang Danxia's expression hesitated to speak, Shen Lifang smiled and said: "The great hatred between the teachers and the sect is irreconcilable, and I can't stop it, but it's my birthday tonight, so why don't Xia Wang go away after eating, so that I can let him go?" The old man sent someone to prepare a few secret books in the cabinet as a gift, so as to relieve my niece's boring journey."

Wang Danxia opened her eyes wide, filled with unspeakable joy, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

But the little boy outside the door shouted again: "Master, our messenger has come to see you, it seems that there is something important to report."

Shen Lifang smiled and said: "What kind of shit is it one after another, let him in."

A lame beggar in ragged clothes walked quickly into the Peach Blossom Yard. His filthy body seemed incompatible with the elegant Taoyuan, causing everyone to frown.

But when Shen Lifang saw this person, his expression suddenly froze, and he squinted his eyes and said: "Right now, they are all from my own family, if you have any news from Sucheng, it's okay for you to tell."

This spy who has been sent by Shen Lifang to Suzhou City all the year round to monitor the every move of "Hua Hong Liu Lu" is not only ordinary in appearance, but also dirty and dirty.

The beggar behaved respectfully and politely, bowed his head and knelt down, and said a news that was enough to shock the hearts of the world: "Reporting to the master, there has been a change in the power of Sucheng. In the Peony Building, Spring Returning Goose has ascended to the position of building owner after Liu Hongyan!"
