Chapter 220 Venting for the Son
Nandi, Chen Mansion
Chen Jiaye couldn't put it down and looked at Xie Zhan's plan. He was really excited.
But once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. He knows very well that top counselors like Xue Guangxian and Xie Zhan are like a double-edged sword. When you are willing to serve as your master, you can be invincible when used; otherwise, if you use it forcefully, it will devour the master.
Upset, really upset!
Then, he happened to see his youngest son whistling and carrying a birdcage in. He immediately called him over and cursed him.
Chen Jin begged for mercy, "Dad, you can't just take it out on me when you're upset."
Chen Jiayu on the side smiled and said, "I know your father is upset, but you still come to provoke him. Who else are you scolding?"
"Dad, second uncle, I know what you are upset about. Don't you just have doubts about Xie Zhan and don't dare to use his suggestions. I think this matter can be easily solved."
Chen Jiaye was upset and didn't want to deal with this unreasonable son.
However, Chen Jiayu was quite curious about what opinions this nephew, who had always been unlearned, could express, "How to solve it? Let's talk about it."
Chen Jin said carelessly, "It's a marriage! As the saying goes, if the relationship is not enough and the money is not enough, the relationship will not be strong enough to form a marriage!"
"And to capture the thief first, capture the king. First choose the best ones from the clan and marry them to Xie Zhan. Then select a few suitable girls from the clansmen to marry the young talents of the Xie family to deepen the relationship between the Xie family and our Chen family. Fusion." Chen Jin said proudly, "When Xie Zhan becomes the son-in-law of our old Chen family, are we still afraid that he will have ulterior motives? He can cheat others, but he can't cheat himself too, right? , He can’t even try hard to make suggestions for the Chen family.”
Chen Jiaye glared at his son angrily. Did he think he hadn't thought about it? It's just that Xie Zhan is a married man, and his wife was granted marriage by the Queen Mother. If he stops his wife and marries again, it will be an additional crime.
unless……
No, in this case, Xie Zhan has to abide by the rules.
Xie Zhan himself was observing his father's filial piety, plus his wife's filial piety, and it was only the Year of the Monkey and the Moon when he married his step-brother.
"A Jin, you forgot, Xie Zhan is still observing filial piety."
"Dad, second uncle, why are you so cautious about him? He is a first-class criminal now. It would be nice if someone pulled him and his family out of the mire. There is no need to worry about his reputation being damaged. And this Isn’t it right? A person with a poor reputation has no other choice but to rely on our Chen family. "
"A Jin, you don't understand. You can't treat a talent like Xie Zhan by force."
Chen Jin complained in his heart, it was true that the predecessors planted trees for the next generation to enjoy the shade, but if his father had this kind of love for Xue Guangxian at the beginning, there would be no such thing as the following.
"Dad, second uncle, you can't do this. This is not the way to train eagles and tigers. Once these kind of birds and beasts are attacked, they have to be tamed. There is no point in being cautious and trying to please. There is a process of getting used to each other. In this We must not be soft-hearted during the process.”
"Brother, what A Jin said makes sense." Chen Jiayu looked at his nephew curiously. He didn't expect that he, who was always flirting with chickens and dogs, would have such insight.
Chen Jiaye is also considering, then, who should be arranged to marry Xie Zhan?
The status cannot be too low. Anything too low would be humiliating to him and would not be able to tie him down. The Chen family wanted to marry him, not enmity. But now among the direct branch of the Chen family, the only one of suitable age and ready to be married is his youngest daughter Chen Baozhu.
Chen Jiaye was still hesitating, but he expressed his concerns.
"Dad, if you don't want to let go of your child, and you can't trap a wolf, just let your little sister get married. And it's not good to discuss the marriage directly. Let's cook the rice before you attack him!" Chen Jin suggested excitedly, this good brother The suggestion was so good that he won his heart.
The two brothers Chen Jiaye looked at each other and said nothing.
Chang'an City, Lu Family
Luo Tieniu rode alone, day and night, and spent about twelve days on the return road before finally returning to Chang'an.
Lu Desheng and Jiang summoned him together to learn about their wonderful deeds along the way.
According to the distance of the convoy, Yang Wei's escort and the people escorting them would arrive in Chang'an in at most seven days and eight days.
Seeing his tired face, Lu Desheng waved him down and ordered the housekeeper to prepare food, hot water and a room for him to rest.
"I'll make arrangements." Mrs. Jiang said. She motioned for Luo Tieniu to follow her out. She wanted to know more about what happened to her little girl and son on the road.
When Lu Desheng was the only one left in the study, with his hands behind his back, Lu Desheng understood Luo Tieniu's intention of returning first, not to let him prepare early.
In fact, their family is almost ready, and the bulk of their property has been taken care of. That is, His outward will has been suppressed and delayed. He had to do something, he couldn't wait any longer like before!
So, as soon as Lu Zhiyuan came back from outside, he was invited to his father's study.
"I heard that you have been having conflicts with others recently?"
As soon as Lu Zhiyuan entered the door, he was asked about this matter. He felt aggrieved at the moment. He didn't know why, but he had been particularly unhappy recently.
"Dad, please listen to my explanation. Some things are really not my son's fault..."
Lu Desheng listened quietly. He knew that his son was implicated in some things. Zhang Xian's rise to power made Zuo Anmin unhappy to some extent. The people under his command could not do anything to him and Zhang Xian, so why not find an excuse to embarrass his son?
"You make a list of those people who have brought bad luck to you recently, and let your father vent your anger!"
"Dad -" Lu Zhiyuan was moved. God knows, in order to get rid of these properties properly, he had really suffered a lot during this period.
Lü Desheng patted his shoulder, "No matter what, your last name is Lü, and you can't write two Lü characters with one stroke."
Lü Zhiyuan nodded continuously. Yes, his father beat him, scolded him, and protected him when he should.
So, many officials in Chang'an City were in trouble.
Many people were scolded by Lü Desheng. These were minor ones, and some were even scolded by him at home.
Lü Desheng asked someone to move a long bench and put it in front of the door of the family, and then opened the thick little book he brought with him and scolded them one by one.
All the old stories were dug up. God knows, there were many ugly things that had finally passed, such as the unbearable history of making a fortune, the face of secretly eating up the family's wealth, and sending his wife to sleep with the superiors in order to get promoted. The fig leaves on these people's faces were torn off by Lü Desheng.
The common people love to hear these gossips, and the navy that Lv Desheng has been raising has also been eliminated. For a time, Chang'an City was very lively.
Lv Desheng was also very frank. After scolding each family, he would throw a sentence, "His father is not dead yet. Although Lv Zhiyuan is useless, you can't bully him."
This statement was clearly to vent his anger for his son, and it also made people understand clearly that he had a reason for making such a scene.
After careful consideration, it is true that those who were found by Lv Desheng were all those who bullied the Lv family in the past two or three months. It's just that the officials under Zuo Anmin were the hardest hit.
Of course, some people were furious and threatened to report to the police to arrest Lv Desheng, but was Lv Desheng afraid?
"I have a gold medal for immunity from death, and I have my reasons. Do you believe it or not? Even if I beat you to death, I will be fine?"
