It is not a bad thing to have a few uncontrollable offspring among future generations.
Being unable to control it shows that he is really capable.
After all, the Chai family has too many people, and it is very complex and intricate. There are some things that Cheng Guogong cannot rely on his own status to fight for for his descendants, but if Chai Shirong can find a way to fight for the benefits on his own, Cheng Guo will
Gong Ye is naturally happy to see the success.
This can be regarded as a sign that generations of talented people in the family have shown their talents.
If they were all well-behaved and obedient children, they would not be beautiful.
Being well-behaved and obedient means that you have no opinions.
Of course, this lack of control also has a bad side. For example, if you cannot control some prodigal children, then you will naturally have to punish them vigorously, or even drive them out of the family directly.
"Stop flattering and tell me if you have something to say." Cheng Guogong still had a bad look on his face. He wanted to see how long Chai Shirong could stand up to him.
When he first came in, Chai Shirong was quite nervous.
But seeing that although Cheng Guogong looked ugly, he never had an attack, he became more and more courageous.
I am no longer afraid of becoming the Duke of the country.
His blood was even boiling, and there was a faint hint of excitement.
You must know that in the past, when he saw the figure of Duke Cheng Guo from a distance, his heart would tremble and he would avoid it.
Now being able to face Duke Cheng Guo and discuss things directly seems to be on the same level as Duke Cheng Guo. This is something Chai Shirong never dared to think about before.
Of course, when talking to Duke Cheng Guo, you still have to be careful.
Otherwise, if he fails to deal with this strict grandfather, he will be given a slap in the face.
What?
Why would he hit you for no reason?
Tsk, where do you think Duke Cheng’s reputation for being strict comes from?
In this era, what matters is that filial sons emerge from the stick. As an elder, I can hit you if I want to, without any need for a reason.
Or, is it okay to make you unhappy?
"Yes." Chai Shirong responded respectfully, and then told in detail that Jiang Long was in trouble and wanted to plot to steal Anlehou's family wealth to vent his anger.
After hearing this, Duke Cheng Guo snorted coldly, "Sure enough, no one named Jing is good!"
Chai Shirong blinked, had his grandfather ever suffered any loss in front of Mr. Jing Laohou?
There was a burst of curiosity in his heart, and he urgently wanted to know.
However, no matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to ask Duke Cheng in person at this time.
Otherwise, Duke Cheng will become angry and his little butt will blossom.
Chai Shirong's guess was correct. Cheng Guogong had been embarrassed in front of Mr. Jing Laohou more than once before.
Duke Cheng Guo still sighed secretly in his heart. They said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's sons can dig holes. It is indeed true.
How similar is the Jing family boy's method to that of the old cunning Jing Chengxiong?
They are all insidious and cunning!
However, I sighed, the money that was brought to my door would be in vain if I didn’t take it, “Is the Jing family boy really good at gambling?”
"Throw it away so casually, and it's a leopard!" Chai Shirong didn't even blink, he just lied.
By deceiving Duke Cheng, Jiang Long had already shown his skill in front of him.
Duke Cheng Guo just raised his thick palm and stroked his beard gently, "In this case, we will pay all the initial gambling funds."
"Huh?" Chai Shirong was stunned.
He thought that it would take a lot of talking to persuade Duke Cheng to take gambling money.
But he didn't want Duke Cheng to say it first.
"Uh, what?" Cheng Guogong stared at this, "This kind of good thing is just for nothing. Tens of thousands of taels of silver are not a small sum of hundreds or thousands of taels! If you don't cooperate proactively,
, next time something good like this happens, will the Jing family boy still think of us?
Don't think that because the Jing family boy has a good relationship with you, he will think of you first when good things happen."
Cheng Guogong's aura was quite strong. Chai Shirong was so frightened that he shrank his neck and said quickly: "Grandpa is still thinking carefully."
"That's right." Cheng Guogong finally showed a smile for the first time since Chai Shirong entered the house, "You should be more vigilant when getting along with the Jing family boys in the future. Although you are older, when
His little brother can do it too."
Three black lines fell off Chai Shirong's forehead.
"The Jing family boy is not the one who suffers losses. It is inevitable that someone in the capital will offend him in the future. Maybe that boy will use this kind of thing..."
Only then did Chai Shirong understand why Duke Cheng wanted him to be Jiang Long's younger brother.
Feelings also want to use gambling to deceive other people.
The corners of his eyes twitched.
Cheng Guogong now looked like an old fox.
Although he secretly scolded Jing Chengxiong for being a treacherous person, but why wasn't he the same?
"Grandpa, Jiang Long said that he wants to trap Anlehou, but he is afraid that he will lose 10,000 taels of silver in the early stage."
"I will tell the housekeeper that when you need money, you can just go to the accounting room and withdraw it!" Cheng Guogong waved his hand cheerfully.
The reason why he is so cheerful is because Jiang Long has shown enough talent and intelligence.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, would Cheng Guo Guild be so happy?
"yes."
Chai Shirong responded, then frowned, changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, my grandson went to the gambling house and inquired carefully. It seems that Shining has a serious gambling addiction and has lost a lot of money."
"Hmph! Lao Wu himself is a prodigal who eats, drinks, goes whoring, and gambles. How can his grandson be any better?"
The fifth brother in Cheng Guogong's mouth was naturally his fifth brother from the same mother. At that time, the fifth brother was useless and had a serious gambling addiction. He often asked him for money. At first he gave it to him, but when he got married,
With a wife and children, where can I still give money to my brother as casually as before?
No more money was given to him, and Lao Wu started to hold a grudge against him.
From then on, whenever anything happened in the clan, Lao Wu would fight against him.
Even though Lao Wu really has no status in the clan.
If my mother hadn't doted on me and left a lot of money to Lao Wu after her death, and asked him to take more care of me and find a good position for Lao Wu in the clan, Lao Wu's home would have been given to me long ago.
Lost.
"Grandpa." Chai Shirong hesitated to speak.
Upon seeing this, Duke Cheng Guo sighed softly, shook his head slightly and said, "It's a good thing that you value brotherhood, but how can you get rid of gambling addiction so easily?
Let's do this, wait for Hui Shining to come in, and I'll give him a good scare, but in the end whether he can change it or not depends on God's will."
"Grandpa, Jiang Long once said..." Chai Shirong slowly said what Jiang Long said about how to get rid of gambling addiction.
Upon hearing this, Duke Cheng Guo rubbed his chin, "Okay, let's try this method to see if it can help Shining get rid of his gambling addiction."
Although Chai Shining was not his grandson, he inherited the title of Duke and was also the patriarch.
Even if Lao Wu disagrees at that time, it is true that Chai Shining made a mistake, and there is nothing that can stop him from giving the order.
After chatting for a few more words, Chai Shirong excused himself.
Next, it was up to Duke Cheng to give instructions to Chai Shining.
Looking at Chai Shirong's back, Cheng Guogong murmured softly, since he even cared about Lao Wu's children, he would not stop supporting and helping Shihao in the future.
Chai Shirong valued feelings and completely reassured Duke Cheng.
At the same time, he also wanted to summon Chai Shihao when he had time to ask Chai Shihao to change his position on Chai Shirong.
Different positioning, how to deal with them, and when there is a conflict of interest, the attitude and the way to deal with them will naturally be different.
He was thinking here, but he didn't know that Chai Shirong was very excited at this moment because he lied to Duke Cheng for the first time.
This feeling is really... very exciting!
After a while, Chai Shining walked in with a nervous look on his face.
Seeing Chai Shining's trembling buttocks, Duke Cheng was disdainful.
Ineffective!
Compared with his grandson Shirong, he is far behind.
Jiang Long mounted his horse, took Tudu, Gundyback, and the Jingfu guards with him. After leaving the capital, he galloped straight to the direction of the farm.
When he arrived at the farm, he saw that the atmosphere in the farm was somewhat depressing.
Many sharecroppers who are working in the fields are looking sad.
He rode a horse and entered the farm.
When Tian Dazhuang, Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang learned that he had returned to the farm, they all came to see him.
Jiang Long first visited Lin Ya, Baoping, and Yuchai respectively. Lin Ya and Yuchai didn't say much. Jiang Long comforted them and told them not to be afraid, but Baoping shouted that they must be beaten.
When you come back, you must not let Jingfu's name be diminished.
We cannot let the tenant farmers on the farm suffer in vain.
He didn't look frightened at all, so Jiang Long naturally didn't need to be comforted.
After visiting the three girls, Jiang Long came to the main hall of the other courtyard to meet Tian Dazhuang, Zheng Zhi, and Yang Qiang.
"If they knock on the door, won't you fight back?"
Jiang Long was somewhat disappointed with the three of them. They were too timid and had no ideas.
Even though the former Manager Hu did not dare to go against the people in the Anlehou Mansion, these three people were newly promoted by Jiang Long. If someone bullied them, they would naturally fight back with fists.
When Tian Dazhuang, Zheng Zhi, and Yang Qiang heard this, their faces were filled with embarrassment.
In fact, among the three of them, Tian Dazhuang was ready to fight back directly, but Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang tried their best to dissuade him, saying that they would ask the young lady and see what the young lady in the village said.
Lin Ya knew nothing about the Anlehou Mansion, so she was cautious and asked the tenants to be patient and wait for Mrs. Jing and Jiang Long to deal with it.
Jiang Long did not ask in detail. The person who blamed the most was Tian Dazhuang.
Because Tian Dazhuang is the farm manager and village head appointed by him personally.
Just because Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang dissuaded us, we cannot put the responsibility on these two people.
Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang were just deputies, and it was Tian Dazhuang who made the decision. If he listened to their opinions, the final decision would be equivalent to being made by him.
The mistakes must be borne by him.
Who made him soft-hearted?
It can also be seen that Tian Dazhuang himself has no independent opinion.
Hearing Jiang Long's reproach, Tian Dazhuang lowered his head in shame.
"How can I truly trust you to manage the farm in the future?" Jiang Long said, got up and walked out the door.
The three of them quickly followed.
Tian Dazhuang blamed himself.
Zheng Zhi and Yang Qiang were disappointed and sighed.
Although they were not scolded, it could be inferred from Jiang Long's attitude that Jiang Long still valued Tian Dazhuang.
There is no possibility for the two of them to replace Tian Dazhuang.
Jiang Long simply ignored the two of them.
So they were also dejected.
When Jiang Long walked out of the gate of the other courtyard, many tenant farmers with patches on their coarse clothes heard the news and rushed over to block the gate.
Before the tenant farmers could speak and express their grievances, Jiang Long suddenly waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please go back to work. I will naturally deal with it at the Anlehou Mansion."
"yes."
The tenant farmers responded sparsely and slowly dispersed.
Jiang Long did not express his attitude and directly asked them to go back to work, so they did not understand how Jiang Long would deal with it in the end.
Many people also secretly guessed in their hearts that Jiang Long would not stand up for them.
After all, they are just low-status tenant farmers, and the other party is the Anlehou Mansion.
Jiang Long led a group of people on their horses and headed towards the river.
I asked about the situation again.
I learned that it is now time to water the farmland. After watering the farmland first and drying the surface, you can sow seeds. However, the river water this year seems to be a bit shallow, and it is estimated that there will be a drought.
.
Every time there is a drought, there are the most conflicts in nearby farms.
