In fact, Chen Yingliang was not very interested in how important the future father-in-law, Chai Shen, was. Anyway, they had already come to ask for a divorce, and most of Chai Shen's officials had nothing to do with Chen Yingliang. What Chen Yingliang was more interested in was how he got involved with the Chai family in his current body, and concluded a marriage contract with the young lady of the Chai family
It took more than a day to carefully sort out the memories brought by the new body, and Chen Yingliang found the answer. It turned out that Chen Yingliang's great-grandfather, Chen Xin, was once an official in Xiongzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and became the Duke of Xuchang County. He was also considered a famous family at that time. Great-grandfather Chen Xin's great-grandfather, grandfather Chen Wandi, came to the throne, and Miss Chai's grandfather, Chai Lie, was a Hushi general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time. There was the idea of getting married, but unfortunately, due to various mistakes, Chen Chai's marriage could not be realized in Chen Yingliang's father's generation.
Later, when Yang Jian replaced Zhou Lisui, although Chen Wandi and Chai Lie failed to embrace the old Yang's thigh in time to become ministers of the dragon, they did not stand on the wrong team and turned against the old Yang family. Basically, the relationship is still close, so when Chen Wandi was about to kick off sixteen years ago, he made an agreement with Chai Lie that his grandson Chen Yingliang, who had just turned one year old at the time, would marry the unborn daughter of Chai Lie's son Chai Shen—also It was the daughter in the womb of Chai Shen's wife at that time.
Of course, if Chai Shen's wife gave birth to a son, this marriage would naturally cease to exist.
Chai Shen's wife really gave birth to a granddaughter for Chai Lie, and at the same time gave birth to a future daughter-in-law for Chen Yingliang, named Chai Qian, but no one thought that the year Chai Qian was born would become Chen Yingliang's daughter-in-law. The watershed between the two Chai families. After Chai Qian was born, Chai Shen, the son of Chai Lie, was suddenly appreciated by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. His official position was continuously promoted, and he finally became the crown prince You Nei led, and his title was also raised to Duke Julu County. The family business prospered. However, after Chen Wandi passed away in the same year, the old Chen family suffered great misfortune. Chen Yingliang's father, Chen Shi, not only failed to seize the title, but also embraced the wrong thighs one after another. All their political investment was in vain, and in the end all their family property was wiped out. Chen Yingliang's father, Chen Shi, was also implicated because of the downfall of his political backer, and lost the sesame mung bean official he had finally bought.
Later, it became even simpler. Chen Shi, who had lost all his family property, couldn't bear the blow and became ill with anger. When Chen Yingliang was ten years old, he died of illness. Several distant relatives of the old Chen family divided up the last bit of family property and refused to recognize each other. Chen Shi's wife Chen Yingliang worked so hard to bring him up to fifteen years old. He also contracted a serious illness and died two years ago. Only one old servant, Chen Laosan, who was almost sixty years old, and Chen Yingliang were left alone, and life was very difficult.
The old Chen family has been reduced to such a miserable state. It is strange that the proud old Chai family no longer has the idea of retiring the marriage. At the same time, Chai Lie, who was married to Chen Wandi's fingertips, has kicked his legs three years ago. Chai Shen can It is already considered a very difficult filial son to send someone to the door to withdraw the marriage after three years of filial piety, so what happened later, the young wife Chen Yingliang hanged himself, and the criminal police captain Chen Yingliang who bought a kidney machine as office supplies with public funds seized it. Give yourself up.
By the way, in fact, Chen Yingliang doesn't think that Lao Chai's dislike of the poor and love of the rich asked for a divorce. He did something outrageous and inhumane, because if Chen Yingliang were the current head of the Chai family, Chai Shen, he would definitely not want to part with it. Marry your daughter to a poor, lonely boy. Chen Yingliang's biggest dissatisfaction with Lao Chai's family is that Lao Chai's family directly asked for a divorce, did not try to support the future son-in-law, and gave the future son-in-law a chance to see the development. If this is the case, Chen Yingliang will at least have a drink The porridge was so clear that people could be seen.
"Young master, it's time to eat."
As soon as he was regretting eating porridge, Chen Laosan's voice entered Chen Yingliang's ears. Immediately afterwards, Chen Laosan walked into the room with a wooden tray, and put a large bowl of brown rice and a large bowl of fragrant rice. The meat soup was placed on the table, with kindness and love on the skinny old face, he said to Chen Yingliang gently: "Master, eat quickly, your favorite mutton soup, the old servant also put pepper, so it has no smell."
"Mutton soup?" Chen Yingliang, who had been drinking porridge for more than a day, was overjoyed, and hurried over to grab the chopsticks, but after picking up the rice bowl, Chen Yingliang remembered something again, and hurriedly asked Chen Laosan: "Third Uncle, The money you got to buy mutton and rice? If I remember correctly, our family has no money? The day before yesterday you paid the consultation fee to the disease doctor, and it seems that there is only one money left to pay."
"Young master, don't worry, this old slave didn't steal or rob." Chen Laosan replied with a smile: "There is a kind young master who gave us a lot of money to help our family, and asked me to buy some rice and meat for you to replenish your health. I have already thanked him for you."
"Who is so kind?" Chen Yingliang asked in amazement - Chen Yingliang, who is the icing on the cake, has seen a lot of people, and Chen Yingliang, who is giving charcoal in a timely manner, has really never met a few times.
"My lord, forgive me. I promised that lord not to say his name, nor can I tell this matter." Chen Laosan shook his head.
"Why? Don't leave your name behind when you do good deeds. There was also Comrade Lei Feng in the Sui Dynasty?" Chen Yingliang became even more curious.
"I don't know. The old slave also asked him, but he refused to tell." Chen Laosan continued to shake his head, and urged: "Young master, eat quickly, the old slave has already thanked the young master next door, wait If you become prosperous in the future and re-establish the Chen family, we will thank him very much."
"The son next door? Is it our neighbor?" Chen Yingliang discovered the clues in Chen Laosan's words, and then immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Understood, no wonder I have to say my name, and I don't want others to know this One thing, this young man is really careful."
"My lord, do you know why he did this? Why?" Chen Laosan asked curiously.
"He is afraid that he will be overwhelmed and bored in the future." Chen Yingliang replied: "As the saying goes, the emergency is not the poor, and our area is full of poor people. If he lets others know about this, in the future, every family will come to him for problems. , and they are all neighbors, how can he resist? So he sees our family suffering, he can save us in an emergency, but he doesn't want others to know. "
"That's right, it should be the truth." Chen Laosan applauded and praised: "My lord, you are so smart, that lord must be afraid that everyone will ask him for help, so he forbids me to tell others about this, otherwise, As far as the poor in our area are concerned, he can't stand it if one person donates to a big son."
Chen Yingliang smiled, and greeted Chen Laosan again: "Third Uncle, let's eat together, it's finally a bit meaty, we are half of each other."
"Young Master, this old slave has already eaten on the stove, you can eat it yourself."
Chen Laosan hurriedly evaded it, but Chen Yingliang believed it, so he insisted on going to the kitchen to get a bowl, divided half of the white rice for Chen Laosan, and served Chen Laosan with mutton soup with his own hands, which moved Chen Laosan so much With tears in his eyes and choked up with sobs for a long time, Chen Yingliang spent a lot of effort to persuade him, and forced him to sit down and eat with him.
Chen Laosan's craftsmanship is very ordinary, even if pepper noodles are added to the mutton soup, it still has a pungent smell, but Chen Yingliang and Chen Laosan's master and servant, who depend on each other, eat very deliciously, and they constantly push each other to add vegetables. Family and harmony. After the meal, Chen Laosan went to wash the dishes, while Chen Yingliang went to his own dilapidated small courtyard. While walking and exercising his legs, he sorted out the memories left by the dead Chen Yingliang, and thought about his current situation and future way out.
Things have come to this point, of course Chen Yingliang dare not expect to be able to return to the modern society, and Chen Yingliang is not worried about the marriage of Lao Chai's family. Chen Yingliang, who is now impoverished, and who is somewhat arrogant, does not want to cry and pester that he must marry that Miss Chai, so let's quit, and who will regret it in the future.
Chen Yingliang has the absolute confidence to make the Chai family regret. As a time traveler, Chen Yingliang, the captain of the criminal police team of the city bureau who possesses both force and intelligence, not only has the knowledge and insights beyond this era for more than a thousand years, but also has the greatest strength of a time traveler. Goldfinger - know the direction of history! Knowing that the Sui Dynasty will perish in a few years, Li Yuan will replace Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang and establish the greatest dynasty in ancient China, the Tang Dynasty!
Knowing this, Chen Yingliang naturally thought of the quickest and most labor-saving way to get ahead, the way to make the Chai family regret it, and go to seek refuge with Li Yuan! Father and son Li Yuan and Li Shimin, who took refuge in the heroes who did not kill, embrace their thighs!
The only headache for Chen Yingliang now is how to rely on Li Yuan. It is not difficult for a famous person like Li Yuan to find him, but after finding him, how can he let him reuse him and give him a chance to show his strength? Chen Yingliang couldn't tell Li Yuan that he was a time traveler with more than a thousand years of historical knowledge and insights, right? If there is no special opportunity and cannot show the outstanding ability that makes Li Yuan admire him, even if Chen Yingliang goes to join Li Yuan now, he must start from the most basic level of cannon fodder.
After passing the civil service examination, he was admitted to the police station, and after a lot of hard work from a small policeman, he finally climbed to the position of the captain of the criminal police of the city bureau. Chen Yingliang, who has suffered enough, of course does not want to be cannon fodder. He has suffered twice and suffered twice. Therefore, Chen Yingliang planned to make a decision before making a move. He first thought of a way to make Li Yuan look at him with admiration, and then hugged his thigh.
Chen Yingliang has no idea what method to use to make Li Yuan look up to him, but fortunately, Emperor Sui Yang can still dance for several years, and Li Yuan will have several years before rebelling. Chen Yingliang, who is only seventeen years old now, still has Time to prepare, so Chen Yingliang, who has not yet fully integrated into this era, was not too anxious. He put this matter aside for the time being, and looked at the houses of this era with great interest.
The small house that Chen Yingliang lives in now is the only real property left by Chen Yingliang, the dead ghost. It is located in the civilian area of the southern city of Daxing City, surrounded by urban poor people, and the location is extremely poor. Dilapidated and low adobe house, a small kitchen for only one person, there is not even a well in the yard, only an old pagoda tree with mottled bark, and the dilapidated earthen courtyard wall is so low that you can see outside the courtyard without poking your head. It is covered with moss and may collapse if hit.
"If the mountain is not high, there will be spirits if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be spirits if there are dragons. This is a humble room, but I am virtuous."
Living in such a ghostly place, Chen Yingliang, who likes to be arty, couldn't help memorizing a well-known ancient prose that was appropriate to the time, and chanted loudly with his hands behind his back: "The moss marks are green on the steps, and the grass is green on the curtain. There are great scholars in talking and laughing. You can tune the plain qin and read the golden scriptures. There is no messy ears of silk and bamboo, and no hard work of case books. Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, Ziyun Pavilion in Xishu. Confucius said: "Why is there such a thing?"
"Okay! Good literary talent! What a sentence, this is a humble room, only my virtue!"
Shouts and applause suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall. Chen Yingliang turned his head and saw a tall man standing outside the dilapidated and low courtyard wall of his own house. He was in his thirties with a very handsome appearance. handsome. Seeing Chen Yingliang turned his head to look at him, the tall man smiled cordially, bowed his hands politely across the courtyard wall, and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen, don't blame me, I just happened to pass by, and I accidentally heard the young master chanting poems to express his heart, and I think young master Extraordinary talent, exquisite lyrics, I couldn't help but applaud, and I hope you will forgive me if I disturb you."
"Are you...?" Chen Yingliang, who has not fully integrated all the memories, feels that this tall man looks familiar. He seems to be the neighbor of the dead ghost Chen Yingliang. A man, but Chen Yingliang couldn't remember his name for a while.
"Mr. Qiao Song, why is it you? Please come home." Chen Laosan ran out from the kitchen, bowed to the tall man and saluted, turned his head to wink at Chen Yingliang, and introduced: "My lord, he is Qiao Song." Young master, our neighbor."
After finishing speaking, Chen Laosan bowed his hands again and again to Mr. Qiao Song, and explained: "Young master, don't be offended, my young master was a little lost after being rescued, and he forgot many things, so I forgot your surname and name." gone."
"I see." Mr. Qiao Song nodded, and only then did he understand why Chen Yingliang had forgotten himself. At the same time, Mr. Qiao Song was also a little puzzled, and asked, "Uncle Chen, what did the disease doctor say about your son's condition? The people who were rescued later forgot what happened before? I remember that there is no similar record in medical books?"
"That day the disease doctor rescued the young master and left, and the old slave didn't have time to ask." Chen Laosan opened the courtyard door and explained, "Yesterday, the old slave wanted to ask the disease doctor, but the young master couldn't leave people around. I don’t have a big son on me, so I couldn’t inquire about it, but thanks to you, my lord, this old slave will ask in a while.”
"From Sanbo's tone, could it be that Mr. Qiao Song is the one who gave me and Sanbo all the money?" Chen Yingliang heard the flaws in Chen Laosan's words, and he also fell in love with Mr. Qiao Song all of a sudden—like this There are not many good people who can give charcoal in a timely manner.
At this time, Mr. Qiao Song had already strode into the courtyard at the invitation of Chen Laosan. To Chen Yingliang's surprise, this generous and polite Mr. Qiao Song was dressed very plainly, wearing a coarse long gown. They were all white after washing, and there were patches on the cloth shoes and trousers. The clothes looked not much better than the poor Chen Yingliang. However, Chen Yingliang soon discovered that Mr. Qiao Song's demeanor was quite good, elegant and majestic, even in commoner clothes, he gave Chen Yingliang an outstanding and refined feeling.
"Mr. Chen, are you feeling better now?" Mr. Qiao Song took the initiative to ask, with a concerned and sincere expression.
"Thank you, Mr. Qiao Song, for your concern, my little brother is fine." Chen Yingliang cupped his hands in thanks.
"It's fine." Mr. Qiao Song nodded, then smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you almost scared your third uncle to death the day before yesterday. I want to be more open, for your parents who have passed away, and for your third uncle who worked so hard to take care of you." , stop doing such stupid things. You are so young, are you still afraid of...?"
"Right here! Right here!"
A new shout from outside the courtyard interrupted Mr. Qiao Song. Chen Yingliang and Mr. Qiao Song turned their heads to look, but they saw a man dressed as a rich family servant came running out of the courtyard gate opened by Mr. Chen, pointing at He opened the courtyard gate and shouted to the road, "Here, this is the place, the one with the surname Chen lives here."
"Who's here?"
Chen Yingliang was taken aback, and after the well-dressed servant pointed out the location of Chen Yingliang's small courtyard, he broke into the Chen family's small courtyard again, and shouted at Chen Yingliang and Mr. Qiao Song with a high air: "You two, who is Chen Yingliang?"
Chen Yingliang's expression was indifferent, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the servant who was arrogant. Mr. Qiao Song smiled and said nothing, but the timid and fearful Chen Laosan came over, nodded and bowed to the servant and said: "This little brother, Chen Yingliang is the young master of this old slave. , what orders do you have from my young master?"
"The boy surnamed Chen has a good thing coming!" Ding Yifa of the family came alive, and said to Chen Laosan in a grand manner: "Qianniu Beishen, who was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, is the eldest son of Julu Gong and Chajun Gong! Come and visit him personally. The boy surnamed Chen! What are you still doing? Why don’t you ask the boy surnamed Chen to kneel outside the door to greet you?!”
"Master Chai came in person?" Chen Laosan opened his mouth wide.
"Of course." The family member was very satisfied with Chen's surprised attitude, and shouted triumphantly: "Your Chen family ancestors have accumulated virtue, and quickly ask the kid surnamed Chen to go out and kneel to meet you! It's late, don't regret it!"
Hearing this, Chen Yingliang showed disdain and was too lazy to move, but Mr. Qiao Song beside him patted Chen Yingliang on the shoulder and said softly: "Brother Yingliang, brother Yu is older than you, so I will call you brother. Listen A word of advice from Brother Yu, no matter what, the Chai family and your Chen family are also family friends, Mr. Chai will come to visit you in person, no matter what the reason for coming, you should go out to greet you, don’t lose your courtesy.”
Chen Yingliang is also a person who listens to persuasion, and felt that Mr. Qiao Song's words made sense, so he nodded and replied: "Thank you brother Qiao for your guidance, I understand, please wait a moment, brother, I will go out to meet him, I will not accompany you for the time being. "
There is obviously something wrong with Chen Yingliang's title of Mr. Qiao Song. Although Mr. Qiao Song found out, he didn't care, and said that Chen Yingliang was extremely annoyed and said something wrong, so he ordered: "Brother Yingliang, be more generous. There is a future."
