Chapter 388 Something goes wrong with the Chen family
The head of the Chen family put down the teacup, turned to look at the Li family and the Huang family who were hugging each other, and smiled slightly: "Where are you two families? What are you going to do? Like before, the Li family will send cloth, and the Huang family will send medicinal materials?"
The head of the Huang family said with a smile: "I got an old ginseng plant a while ago and am going to send it to Pinglehou."
The head of the Li family is not stupid either. He smiled and said, "My family is going to give you embroidery pictures of flowers and birds."
The leaders of the four major families came and went to compete with each other. Instead of finding out what gifts the other party had given them, they became angry.
After the party was over, the head of the Li family invited the head of the Huang family to drink tea in his villa. After less than three sentences, he started scolding: "That old man of the Chen family has always looked down on us merchants because of his family background. This time he deliberately saved a lot of money." The bureau called us over because they were afraid that our gift would be too big and make him lose face!"
"The hypocrite surnamed Chen has always looked down upon others. Why are you arguing with him? Why is it worth getting angry at? Let's not talk about useless nonsense. The relationship between Pinglehou and Magistrate Wang is so close, and most likely he wants to take advantage of it. On the occasion of the housewarming, he made a lot of money. Pinglehou must have said that he wants us to support major projects such as building river embankments. If our thank-you gift to Pinglehou is less than that of Wang County Magistrate, Pinglehou will definitely have a grudge. When the time comes, he will really Give us little shoes to wear..."
The head of the Huang family is not as angry as the head of the Li family. He is more concerned about how to give gifts to Huo Yunchao decently without harming his own interests.
Huo Yunchao was Pinglehou who was personally conferred by Emperor Yong'an. He was no longer the penniless poor scholar, but a lucky man who soared into the sky.
The Huang family envies a lucky person like Huo Yunchao from the bottom of his heart, and also wants to give a small gift to bring them closer to each other. In fact, to put it bluntly, the head of the Huang family is very willing to have a good relationship with Huo Yunchao. The problem is that he is unwilling to pay too much, and Huo Yunchao obviously wants more than he imagined.
After the head of the Li family scolded the scheming head of the Chen family, he turned to target Huo Yunchao: "My dear, have you heard? Marquis Pingle sent invitations to all the famous merchants and landowners! Tsk tsk, big and small take it all. Not even an inch of grass was left, and Pinglehou looked so ugly when he ate."
The head of the Huang family really didn't notice this detail, so he couldn't help but curious and asked a few more questions: "Oh? In-laws, where did you hear the news?"
"Ahem...someone told me that." The Li family leader looked up and down, left and right, but he didn't dare to look at the Huang family leader.
It's just because the head of the Li family raised a little widow outside behind his main wife's back, and the little widow's late husband was once his most trusted subordinate.
After his subordinate died of a serious illness, the head of the Li family took care of his subordinate's widow until she went to bed.
Unfortunately, the head of the Li family's wife is none other than the direct cousin of the head of the Huang family.
The head of the Huang family is too lazy to care about the private life of the head of the Li family. He himself is not very clean, and he has done a lot of keeping prostitutes and raising extramarital affairs.
"My dear, if your news is true, then we must not only prepare affordable gifts, but also five hundred taels of silver notes."
The head of the Li family suddenly widened his eyes: "Five hundred taels of silver notes? My money didn't come from the strong wind! My flower and bird embroidery is double-sided! It's worth a lot of money on the market!"
The head of the Huang family did not explain the reason, but only said: "My dear, if you can trust me, you can take the five hundred taels of silver with you that day."
The head of the Li family said angrily: "My dear, I must trust you. But I can't trust anyone named Huo! One or two of them ask for hundreds of taels. Do you think I am a money maker?"
The head of the Huang family said no more.
He made up his mind to bring a thousand taels of silver notes with him. It would be best if he didn't need it.
The problem is that the Chen family and the Wang family will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Offering a big gift can put their names in front of Pinglehou. No matter what, it is a good deal.
The head of the Chen family had just returned to Chen's house and asked the housekeeper to bring the account books. However, before his butt was still hot, his married wife hurried to the door of the study and banged the door vigorously: "Master! Something bad has happened! You come out faster!"
"How can it be appropriate to describe someone like this and shout so loudly?" The head of the Chen family opened the door and scolded him loudly, his frowning brows enough to kill a fly.
Mrs. Chen took a few steps back in fright, "Master, what happened is this. Our incompetent Yuen Long got drunk and molested women on the street, and actually, he molested Marquis Pingle..."
"What?! Where's the bastard?"
The head of the Chen family is two older than the other. He is worried about how to deal with Huo Yunchao, but unexpectedly at this time, the incompetent eldest grandson actually offends Huo Yunchao!
Mrs. Chen hesitated and said: "Sir, Yuen Long is at the hospital..."
The head of the Chen family's eyes darkened: "Which medical center? Could it be sent to the Huang Family Medical Center?"
Mrs. Chen replied with a frightened look on her face: "The people from Pinglehou sent it to me. If I had sent it to you later, Yuen Long's legs would not have been saved."
"You bastard thing! How could our Chen family raise such a bastard thing?" The head of the Chen family was so angry that he slapped his heart hard, out of breath, and almost pissed himself to death.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she was very frightened. She was afraid that the master of the Chen family would die if he could not breathe. She hurriedly stepped forward and patted his chest: "Master, don't scare me! What if you have an emergency? What will Yuen Long do?" ah?"
The last sentence ignited the anger of the Chen family leader. He pushed Mrs. Chen to the ground and pointed at her but could not say a word.
However, Mrs. Chen knew that if the head of the Chen family did not curse, he would definitely be scolding her as a loving mother and a loser, and blaming her for spoiling Chen Yuanlang.
At this point, Mrs. Chen only hopes that the head of the Chen family can take Chen Yuanlang home from the Huang Family Medical Center. "Master, Yuen Long is young and ignorant. He is just a talker. What's the point of teasing him? He is clearly Pinglehou. Too arrogant and domineering..."
The head of the Chen family was already very angry, but when he heard Mrs. Chen’s protective words, his anger suddenly became blocked, he couldn’t breathe, and he closed his eyes with a loud sound!
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the old housekeeper could no longer pretend to be transparent and shouted loudly: "Someone comes quickly! The master has fainted!"
After a period of war and chaos, fortunately the head of the Chen family was not angered to death by the unfulfilled eldest grandson and the old lady who doted on him. The first thing he did when he woke up was to tell his eldest son: "Go to the Huang Family Medical Clinic and send Yuen Long to the county government office." Go and say that Yuen Long has known his mistakes and took the initiative to surrender to the county government to admit his mistakes. For the sake of Yuen Long’s understanding of his mistakes and correcting them, Wang Ping Lehou will leave a way for Yuen Long to survive!"
Mr. Chen was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt down in front of the hospital bed and asked anxiously: "Dad, is the matter really this serious?"
The head of the Chen family was filled with resentment and pounded the bed while giving orders: "Ping Lehou is still the Xu family's ancestral son-in-law. If Yuen Lang dares to disrespect Mrs. Hou, he is making trouble on Tai Sui's head! If you don't want a white-haired man to give away a black-haired man, Do as I say!"
When Mr. Chen heard this, he didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried out of the house with his brocade shirt in hand.
