When the sun set, Liu Chengfeng returned to the Wen Mansion. After a day, he was mentally exhausted. As soon as the Wen Mansion saw Liu Chengfeng coming back, someone immediately sent a message: "Uncle, please come over."
Liu Chengfeng nodded, knowing in his heart that as Wen Zheng, he already knew what happened today, and strode to Wen Zheng's study.
Wen Zheng still hasn't thought about what happened today. His son-in-law, who he originally looked down upon, has undergone a shocking turn. From the situation of certain death at the beginning, to the appearance of the commanding envoy, to the emperor's imperial edict.
, although Wen Zheng was far away in Nanzhen Fusi, he knew everything about it. When he saw Liu Chengfeng coming in, he couldn't help but give Liu Chengfeng a strange look. Was this nerd just relying on good luck, or was he not like himself?
Is it as easy and simple as you thought before?
"Come, sit down." Wen Zheng's voice was still cold, but his attitude was less disdainful than before.
Liu Chengfeng leaned over and sat down.
Wen Zhengcai said slowly: "You only entered the guard house for more than ten days, and you went from being a captain to a hundred households. This is unprecedented. Even so, you should not be proud. There are thousands of households above you.
There are things to do, colleagues, commanders, and senior officials, none of which you can easily offend. And that colleague Chen Rang, if you make him suffer today, sooner or later there will be
One day he wants to cause trouble for you, but in the future you have to be careful and walk on thin ice, you know?"
Liu Chengfeng thought to himself: Behind Chen Rang is Dongchang, being cautious and walking on thin ice? I thought, but I have already offended people to death, is there any way I can turn back?
Wen Zheng raised his eyes and saw Liu Chengfeng's disapproving look. He suddenly had the illusion that there seemed to be some kind of sharp ambition hidden in this nerd's body. This guy was becoming more and more difficult to see through. Wen Zheng was getting more and more confused.
Zheng smiled, he used to look down on Liu Chengfeng's nerdy nature, and as a man, naturally it is better to be more aggressive.
After thinking for a while, Wen Zheng continued: "Are you dissatisfied? Let me tell you, nothing in this world can be accomplished overnight. If you are dissatisfied, then you should know how to be patient. I have a word for you, in everything, patience comes first.
When you really can't bear it anymore, if you want to eliminate your opponent, you have to eliminate the root cause. Don't leave any consequences. For example, this time, although you eliminated Liu Zhongxia, you offended Chen Rang. This is a big taboo. Don't be afraid of thieves.
If you steal, you are afraid that the thief will miss you. After all, he is a fellow intellectual, and behind him is Dongchang. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he can eradicate you."
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Chengfeng understands." But he was thinking in his heart: He is thinking about me, and I am also thinking about him. If I am even a little bit afraid of them, they will bully me sooner or later.
Wen Zheng smiled and continued: "But you did a great job today. The imperial edict granted a hundred hereditary households and Feiyu uniforms. This is something worth celebrating. Do it carefully and don't let down the holy grace."
.”
Liu Chengfeng said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has something to discuss with you. Now that my son-in-law has accumulated some money, there are many inconveniences in living in the house all the time. I want to buy a house outside and take care of it.
Let’s go out and live together in the morning sun.”
This idea came up from the first day Liu Chengfeng entered the house. Living in the Wen family always felt like being dependent on someone else. Now that Liu Zhongxia has promised to pay three thousand taels of silver in compensation, Liu Chengfeng is thinking about splitting the sum with Lao Huo.
After that, I can still have one thousand five hundred taels. Such a large amount of money is enough to buy some property in the capital.
Wen Zheng's expression changed, his tone became unkind, and he said, "What? Does being in the Wen family make you so uncomfortable?"
Liu Chengfeng shook his head, smiled slightly, and said very directly: "It's always not good to be under someone else's roof. Besides, you can avoid others gossiping."
Wen Zheng thought for a while and said: "It's impossible to move out. I only have two daughters. If you take Chen Xi out to live, the old lady will not be happy. It's better to do this. You have to buy a house.
The house you live in now will be sold to you. Although you still live in the Wen Mansion, if you buy the house, it will be yours from now on, and you can naturally stop others from talking about it."
Liu Chengfeng thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he agreed.
Wen Zheng's tone softened a little, and he added: "You can take care of yourself. Go back and rest early."
After a conversation, Liu Chengfeng felt that Wen Zheng's attitude toward him had improved a lot. He was no longer as disdainful as before. Although his attitude was still cold, the status between the two was quietly changing.
Liu Chengfeng didn't stay long. He came out of Wen Zheng's study and returned to his house. Wen Chenxi didn't know what was happening outside. He smiled and took off Liu Chengfeng's bulky boots and put them on Liu Chengfeng's.
Clogs looked at the baggage Liu Chengfeng brought back with a smile and said, "Husband, what did you bring back?"
As he spoke, Wen Chenxi gently untied the baggage and couldn't help but exclaimed. Inside the baggage was a light yellow flying fish suit made of fine silk and satin, resembling a flying dragon. Wen Chenxi had not seen a flying fish suit of this quality before.
However, in fact, Wen Zheng owns such a piece, but he only wears it on formal occasions. Precisely because of this knowledge, Wen Chenxi understands the preciousness of the flying fish suit. There will not be more than one hundred such flying fish suits in the entire capital.
Except for some key civil and military officials or close ministers of the emperor, the rest may not be able to obtain one even if they have prominent positions.
"This...this is..."
Liu Chengfeng gently hugged her slender waist from behind and said with a slight smile: "This is a Feiyu suit. The emperor saw that your husband is efficient at work, smart and capable, capable of both civil and military service, and has a dignified appearance, so he made an exception and rewarded you with one.
"
"Really?" Wen Chenxi was hugged by Liu Chengfeng, her face couldn't help but blush, and she looked a little embarrassed. Not many people in the court were looking forward to such a valuable reward. Liu Chengfeng had only been in the Jinyi Guard for a few days. If
Instead of blindly trusting Liu Chengfeng, Wen Chenxi still thought Liu Chengfeng had stolen it.
Liu Chengfeng grabbed Wen Chenxi's thin shoulders, turned her around, looked at Wen Chenxi's fragile face, and said sternly: "Of course it's true, do you think I stole it?"
Wen Chenxi was overjoyed and couldn't help but said: "I really thought it was stolen!"
At this time, a crisp voice came from outside: "Sister...sister...good news, good news, my brother-in-law has given me Feiyu clothes and made him a hundred households..."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but clicked his tongue. This sister-in-law was like a living little spy. She couldn't hide anything from her. In front of her, he was like a cooked egg with the shell removed.
After a while, Wen Chenruo came in with a big bang, and Wen Chenxi was so frightened that she quickly broke away from Liu Chengfeng's arms, straightened the silver hairpins that were scattered around her ears and temples, forced out a smile, and said: "Yes.
? Your brother-in-law has already said so."
Wen Chenruo bumped into this scene, his face turned slightly red, he coughed twice, and then he pretended not to have seen it and said: "I even found out about his Baihu District, it's Fireworks Alley..."
Liu Chengfeng was speechless. This guy was not just a spy, he was simply trying to sow discord. He quickly looked around and said, "Chen Ruo, come here, I have something to discuss with you."
Wen Chenruo looked at Liu Chengfeng warily and said, "What are we discussing? We men and women are not intimate, so don't go too far, otherwise I will call someone."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile: "I originally thought that my sister-in-law was a hero among women, a sassy and beautiful woman, but who knew she was also a little girl with a weak heart? Such a grudge, that's all... that's all..."
After hearing what Liu Chengfeng said, Wen Chenruo's expression changed. He couldn't help but puff up his chest and said in a proud tone: "Who said I hold a grudge? What are you going to say?"
Wen Chenxi smiled and said: "You two are always making trouble like this when you are together. Husband, I will ask someone to wash this Feiyu suit properly. I don't know when you will wear it." After that, he hugged her.
He put on the Feiyu suit and walked out on lotus steps.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Chengfeng took a few steps closer to Wen Chenruo and asked, "Let me ask you, where do you get all this news?"
A hint of cunning flashed across Wen Chenruo's eyes, and he said, "I won't tell you."
She didn't want to say anything, so Liu Chengfeng didn't continue to ask, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, how about asking you to do something? Do you know Fireworks Alley?"
Wen Chenruo spat and said angrily: "What do I want to do in that messy place?"
Liu Chengfeng was speechless and could only say: "What I mean is, what are the backends of the brothels in Yanhua Alley? Can you help me find out?"
Wen Chenruo immediately smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, are you begging me? It's easy to find out, but..."
Liu Chengfeng immediately put on a sincere look and said: "Brother-in-law has always liked Chen Ruo. You must help me with this favor. Don't ask for conditions. It would be vulgar to ask for conditions. Who in the capital doesn't know that my sister-in-law
He is a hero among women, impatient of justice and devoted to justice..."
Wen Chenruo smiled and said: "Brother-in-law likes me? Then let me ask you, what do you like about me?"
Liu Chengfeng took a look at Wen Chenruo's small but firm breasts, which were not plump but very firm. He moved his eyes away from the breasts with great difficulty. He couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva and thought to himself: "It's really life-threatening. Isn't this what she is doing?"
Are you trying to hook up with your brother-in-law?" Then he got serious and said in a sincere tone: "I like Chen Ruoshan's temperament."
Wen Chenruo bit his lip and said, "Why do I feel like you are lying to me?"
Liu Chengfeng's face was extremely serious and he said: "How could my brother-in-law lie to you? Look, when you kidnapped me that day, my brother-in-law didn't blame you, right? Apart from your sister, I have the closest relationship with you in the Wen family.
Okay, what did I lie to you for?"
Wen Chenruo smiled and said: "Okay, assuming you pass, I'll go find the father-in-law... and ask!"
