"The only thing to blame is Luo Tianfeng for provoking me! By the way, which aristocratic family are we going to now?" Looking at Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhen asked.
"Chu family!" Xiao Zhao said decisively to Xiao Zhen: "We are going to the Chu family now. To be honest, this trip will be a bit risky, because the attitude of the Chu family has never been clear. If we can
If we get the support of the Chu family, it will be of great help to us in attracting other aristocratic families in the future!"
The Chu family is one of the six major aristocratic families in Cangyun Prefecture. It is as famous as the Xiao family, the Luo family and the Bian family. Compared with the Xiao family, which has long been seriously injured after fighting with the Luo family for many years, the Chu family's
The strength is much stronger, and more importantly, there is no obvious conflict between the Chu family and the Luo family. You can imagine how difficult it is to convince such a big family to become the enemy of the Luo family.
After all, the Chu family is not a family like the Xiao family that has fallen into dire straits, nor is it a family like the Bian family that is oppressed and will become a vassal if it does not resist. The Chu family is still quite powerful. If you want to win over the Chu family,
Without a corresponding reason and a corresponding level of dedication, basically don’t even think about it.[
Of course, if they can pay a corresponding price, the Chu family will definitely be willing to help the Xiao family. After all, the aristocratic family will never be very friendly to the Luo family. As long as the Xiao family, or Xiao Zhen, can provide
If there is something that is enough to make the Chu family excited, then it is only natural that the Chu family help the Xiao family.
After the group arrived at the Chu family, they were immediately invited into the inner hall. The Chu family's courtyard was very beautifully designed, with gardens, rockeries, small bridges and flowing water. Compared with the Chu family, although the Xiao family's courtyard was
It was not inferior, but there was a sense of decadence. Several people were invited into the inner hall and served tea, and then they kept waiting.
Time passed moment by moment, and everyone had changed their tea cups several times, but except for the maidservants who came in and out to change tea for everyone, no one from the Chu family appeared in front of them, just like Xiao Zhen and his party.
His arrival has been forgotten by the Chu family!
Dusk had passed, and when it was time to finish dinner, Xiao Zhen and his party, who had been waiting for four hours, saw that the door to the inner hall finally opened, and then, a handsome man in a Chinese robe with a rather indifferent expression appeared.
He walked into the inner hall calmly.
"Haha, hello, friends of the Xiao family. I am Chu Xun, the deacon of the inner hall of the Chu family. I have been busy with secular affairs today, so I don't have time to meet with you. I hope that friends of the Xiao family can forgive me.
Sin." As soon as he came in, Chu Xun raised his hands and said to everyone, but unfortunately, he said sorry words in his mouth, but there was no look of apology in his expression. It was simply that he didn't mean what he said.
"Haha, we have really seen the Chu family's hospitality today. It's getting late today, so there's no need to continue talking. Since Deacon Chu has come, we can't say goodbye without saying goodbye. How about we say goodbye?
I said goodbye." Seeing Chu Xun's indifferent expression, Xiao Zhao stood up, bowed his hands to Chu Xun, and then called Xiao Zhen and the others to leave together.
Seeing that Xiao Zhao left quickly, this time it was Chu Xun's turn and he was a little confused. He grabbed Xiao Zhao and Chu Xun chuckled and said: "Friends of the Xiao family, you shouldn't be angry with our Chu family, right?
, It’s really not the right time for you to come today, something happened in the Chu family recently, and everyone in the house is a little busy, so please don’t take it off..."
"No, no, how can we be brave enough to be angry with the famous Chu family in Cangyun? It's too late for us to curry favor, but it's a pity that the Chu family doesn't seem to want to see us, the Xiao family. Originally, we came here to want to make peace with
The Chu family is negotiating a deal worth one million square meters of raw jade. Now, I think many aristocratic families will be very interested in this business. Since the Chu family is so busy, we can’t continue to disturb it."
While sneering, Xiao Zhao shook Chu Xun's hand away, and as if to increase his persuasion, Xiao Zhen fiercely released a large wall made of raw jade. After looking at it, Xiao Zhen
He said: "Hey, it's all because this ring is too small. It leaks out so often. It's really troublesome." After saying that, Xiao Zhen took the original jade back again.
Although he only glanced at it, Chu Xun was already dizzy by the intense light of the original jade that made his heart tremble. Seeing that Xiao Zhen and his party were about to leave, Chu Xun trembled violently and rushed forward to hold Xiao
Zhaodao: "Mr. Xiao, walk slowly, walk slowly, I will report your matter to the head of the family immediately, it only takes a while, just wait for a while!"
Millions of square meters of raw jade, so much raw jade, even a big family like the Chu family is very greedy. After seeing it with his own eyes, if Chu Xun can still let Xiao Zhen and his party leave, then he may not have to do it tomorrow.
This is the butler!
"Oh? It turns out that the head of the Chu family didn't even know about our arrival. It seems that the Chu family is really busy. In this case, we can't disturb you anymore. Let's go!" A look flashed across his face.
Angry, with a face full of anger, Xiao Zhao sneered and said.
"Wait! Wait!" Seeing the real anger on Xiao Zhao's face, Chu Xun was even more anxious. At this moment, a figure stepped into the inner hall and said lightly: "Young man, don't do anything.
Impatient, haven’t you, the old people of the Xiao family, taught you anything?”
"Haha, we old people of the Xiao family have only taught us to treat friends and visitors with due courtesy. People who are superior are often unpopular and respected." Xiao Zhao sneered and said to the visitor.
The person who came was a man who was about forty years old. He was wearing a suit of maroon-colored Chinese clothes. His face was filled with dignity. His long black hair was decorated with a piece of beautiful blue-purple jade.
What makes people feel strange is that the man's exposed hands are covered with scars and thick calluses, and the palms are half larger than those of ordinary adults.
"It's very well said. Those who are respected are friends. However, our Chu family has not yet determined whether you are friends or enemies. So do you think the Chu family made a mistake by delaying the meeting with you due to secular matters?" Hehe smiled.
, the man took control of the situation the moment he walked into the inner hall. With a glance, when his eyes fell on Nie Xiaoqian, Xiao Zhen obviously saw the man's pupils shrink slightly.
"I see. Indeed, we have never been considered friends by the Chu family. Even the Chu family and the Xiao family have not had deep communication." After hearing the man's words, Xiao Zhao chuckled and said, "But today we can
We are honored to be received by Chu Long, the Huayuan Shou, right?"
It turned out that this Chu Long was the younger brother of Chu Feng, the current head of the Chu family, and his status in the Chu family was quite high. However, Xiao Zhao changed the topic again and said: "But even if I can be received by Chu Long, the master of transformation,
, but we still want to discuss our matters with the head of the Chu family, so since the head of the Chu family is not willing to meet us, the little people of the Xiao family, then we should leave first."
"If you want to see eldest brother, you can, but you have to tell your purpose. I have already said that you are not friends of the Chu family yet, but whether you will become enemies of the Chu family is also unknown.
Those unscrupulous tricks were used on me. You all are sensible people, please tell me your reasons."[
After a pause, Chu Long continued: "Although you guys act in a low-key manner, some rumors will still spread. We in the Chu family have also heard about what you have done in the past few days, so we will happily tell the story.
Say it."
After staring at Chu Long for a while, Xiao Zhao did not speak, because Xiao Zhao didn't know how to speak for a while. Chu Long, who had the impression that he was just a fighting sect, suddenly said these words, which really made Xiao Zhao a little bit
Xiao Zhen was caught off guard. After standing up directly, he said: "Well, I won't talk too much nonsense to you. The purpose of our visit this time is very simple, which is to bribe you and deal with Luo Luo with us.
Home."
/
Xiao Zhen's frankness was equally impressive. After hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Chu Xun was already dizzy for a while, while Xiao Zhao was even more embarrassed and quickly looked outside the inner hall, for fear that others would hear what happened.
.
"Don't worry, I have removed the people in the inner hall a long time ago. You kid, you are really interesting, and there are people like you who really tell everything? Well, let me ask you too, do you plan to use
What can you do to bribe our Chu family?" Seeing Xiao Zhao's nervous look, Chu Long chuckled and said, since he had already guessed that Xiao Zhen and the others were here to lobby, he would naturally not let some untrustworthy people stay.
Here it is.
"What's the price of one million square meters of raw jade?" After saying that, Xiao Zhen directly released the original jade mountain.
"Are you serious?" He stood up suddenly and looked at the green light in front of him. Chu Long's expression suddenly changed. Originally, Chu Long was planning to give Xiao Zhen and his entourage a blow, but he rejected everyone's suggestion to bring everyone down.
But when he saw the million square jade, Chu Long's heart suddenly wavered.
He stepped forward and took a square of raw jade. After carefully looking at it for a while to confirm that it was all high-quality raw jade, Chu Long suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The Chu family might be able to get it with a million squares of raw jade. Let’s be clear.
, this amount of money is enough to cover half of the assets of the Chu family. Faced with such a price, Chu Long really can't say no. At least this situation is no longer something he can decide.
"This matter is not something I can decide easily. Let's do this. I will take you to find the master of the family." Seeing Xiao Zhen put away the original jade, Chu Long's eyes immediately stared greedily at Xiao Zhen's ring.
, but he was soon awakened by the cold air released by Nie Xiaoqian. After glancing at everyone, he coughed and said to everyone.
