After listening to the kind-hearted persuasion of his neighbor Mr. Qiao Song, Chen Yingliang chose to act magnanimously and went out of the courtyard to greet him according to etiquette. He also took the opportunity to witness with his own eyes the huge pomp and circumstance of the dignitaries of this era.

Lao Chai's house was very grand. Twelve neatly dressed servants lined up in two columns and walked forward to clear the way. They all carried horizontal knives at their waists and walked neatly.

The tall white horse walked among the servants, surrounded by four maids in colorful clothes, following on foot, and behind it were followed by a dozen tall servants who were also following in formation. The procession could not be seen from the beginning to the end, and its width almost blocked the narrow street. It was so majestic.

The momentum is overwhelming.

Chen Laosan had already knelt down, but Chen Yingliang didn't move at all. He even pulled Chen Laosan up. Although Chen Yingliang didn't understand the ancient etiquette very well, he also knew that in ancient times, peers did not need to kneel down to greet each other. The Mr. Chai in front of him was Chen Yingliang's reputation.

As his future brother-in-law, Chen Yingliang naturally did not want to kneel down to him.

The noble man in white reined the horse's head in front of Chen's house and looked at Chen Yingliang intently. Chen Yingliang also raised his head to look at him without fear. He found that the noble man in white was about in his early twenties. He was very handsome and had good skin.

With his picturesque fair eyebrows and two sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples, he is handsome and full of heroic spirit. Looking at his posture, he is definitely the Mr. Chai whom the arrogant servant calls him.

While Chen Yingliang was looking at Mr. Chai, Mr. Chai was also looking at Chen Yingliang. He found that Chen Yingliang's appearance was better than he thought, and he had a childish face that was quite impressive. Even though he was dressed shabby, he could still be considered a handsome young man.

, but Chen Yingliang's calm eyes made Mr. Chai extremely uncomfortable. In Chen Yingliang's eyes, there was no trace of the awe and flattery that ordinary people had when they saw Mr. Chai. They were as calm as if they were seeing ordinary people of equal status -

- This point was naturally difficult for Mr. Chai, who was at a high-spirited age and deeply despised his future brother-in-law, to accept this.

This was the first meeting between Chen Yingliang and Mr. Chai. The result of this meeting was that both parties disliked each other and failed to leave a good impression in the other's eyes - this was the legendary discord.

.

Mr. Chai silently dismounted in front of Chen Yingliang. After the servant held the tall white horse, he gave Chen Yingliang a hand, forced a smile, and asked: "Are you Ying Liang's wise brother? This is the first time we meet, Ju.

Duke Lu and Chai is my father, and the Chai and Chen families have been family friends for a long time, so please call me brother Sichang."

"Brother Sichang, my younger brother Chen Yingliang, pay homage to brother." Chen Yingliang cupped his fists and raised his hands, imitating the ancients to bow to Mr. Chai, and whispered in his heart, "Chai Sichang? I have never heard of him, he is a minor character."

"How brave you are to not kneel down and kowtow." Mr. Chai felt increasingly uncomfortable with Chen Yingliang. He reluctantly suppressed his unhappy thoughts and said, "Brother Yingliang, Brother Yu is here to visit you today, and there are some things he wants to discuss with you.

Please discuss, this is not the place to talk, can we come into your home to talk?"

"Of course." Chen Yingliang smiled politely, stepped out of the way and made an invitation gesture, and said with a smile: "Brother Sichang, please."

Mr. Chai nodded and walked into the dilapidated courtyard of Chen Yingliang's house. He looked at the surrounding environment and then at the rickety adobe houses of Chen Yingliang's house. He frowned and simply stood still in the courtyard.

He stopped walking and turned to Chen Yingliang and said: "Brother Yingliang, brother Yu will be going to the palace for business later, so let's talk here."

"Brother Sichang, please give me some advice." Chen Yingliang, who had already guessed Mr. Chai's intention, nodded.

"Then Brother Yu, you're welcome." Mr. Chai nodded slightly and said directly: "Brother Ying Liang, Brother Yu came to visit today for two purposes. One is to visit\u671

b. Brother Yu, I heard that the day before yesterday, Brother Xian, you couldn’t think about it and committed suicide by hanging from a beam. I was worried about your situation, so I came here to visit you today, and I also came to visit you on behalf of my father to express my condolences.”

"Thank you for your concern, brother. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Chai. I'm fine now." Chen Yingliang returned the gift and snorted in his heart, "Are you worried about me? Are you worried about the reputation of your Chai family?"

"Since my dear brother has recovered, this is naturally the best thing." Mr. Chai said hypocritically, and then said: "The second thing is about Third Sister and you."

Having said this, Mr. Chai raised his hand and clapped it twice. Immediately from outside the courtyard, a servant came in holding a brocade box. He knelt down on one knee in front of Mr. Chai and raised the brocade box over his head with both hands. Mr. Chai opened the brocade box smoothly.

, revealing a box full of silver, and then smiled and said to Chen Yingliang: "Brother Yingliang, have you seen it? One hundred taels of silver."

"I saw it." Chen Yingliang nodded.

"It's good to see it." Mr. Chai nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "As long as my dear brother is willing, these silvers will be yours."

Chen Yingliang sneered. He understood what Mr. Chai meant but was too lazy to speak. He just smiled and said nothing.

"Damn man, I won't shed tears until I see the coffin!" Mr. Chai was a little angry and said, "Brother Ying Liang, I think you know the purpose of Brother Yu's visit. One hundred taels of silver is enough for you to eat and drink for half your life and marry a wife.

In addition, I will give you another compensation."

"Brother, please tell me." Chen Yingliang smiled.

"My father-in-law is currently in Huaiyuan to supervise the transportation of grain and grass for the emperor's second expedition to Goguryeo." Mr. Chai said: "I can write you a letter of recommendation. If you go to see my father-in-law, he will give you a position, although the position is not high.

It will be very high, but it can also guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing in this life."

"But I have one more condition. You are never allowed to return to Daxing City again." Mr. Chai added: "You must do this, otherwise, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

"You want me to leave Daxing? I'm never allowed to come back?" Chen Yingliang was a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "Why? Why can't my little brother\u518

2000

Going back to Daxing City?"

"For the reputation of our Chai family." Mr. Chai replied frankly: "Although I ask you to break off the engagement voluntarily, if you continue to stay in Daxing City, it will still hinder the reputation of our Chai family, so you must leave Daxing.

Don’t come back either.”

Chen Yingliang began to get angry, thinking that there is such a domineering family in the world? Even if he regrets the marriage because he hates the poor and loves the rich, he actually forces the person whose engagement was annulled to leave the city where he lives and never be allowed to come back? Isn't this a bully?

That's too much. You don't regard me as a human being at all?

"Master Chai, please be merciful." Chen Laosan suddenly cried, knelt down on his knees with a plop and cried loudly: "You can't do this. The marriage between my young master and the third sister of the Chai family,

It was made by Mr. Chai personally with Mr. Chai back then, and they also exchanged tokens. You can't break your promise, and you can't push my young master to death again!"

Weeping loudly, Chen Laosan kowtowed to Mr. Chai repeatedly. Unfortunately, Mr. Chai refused to even blink his eyelids and even looked at Chen Laosan. Naturally, he would not listen to Chen Laosan's wails and begging.

Seeing Mr. Chai's indifferent expression, Chen Yingliang became even more angry. Although Chen Yingliang, who used public funds to buy a kidney machine as office supplies, did not have the good habit of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, as a modern person, Chen Yingliang still could not accept a white man.

The old man kowtowed to him and begged, but he could still turn a blind eye. In anger, Chen Yingliang gave up his plan to break off the engagement immediately. While helping Chen Laosan, who was crying incessantly, he sneered and said: "Brother Sichang,

Have you ever heard a saying?”

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Chai asked in confusion.

"It's a very simple sentence." Chen Yingliang suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "Don't bully young people into poverty!"

Glancing at the arrogant Mr. Chai, Chen Yingliang sneered and said, "You are now rich and powerful. You can look down on me, a poor young man, and feel that I am not worthy of your sister. But do you dare to ask yourself, what is the meaning of all this glory and wealth?"

Didn’t you get it by your own efforts?! A crow can turn into a phoenix, and an ugly duckling can turn into a white swan one day! I am still young, and I still have plenty of time and opportunities to get ahead! If you break off the engagement today, don’t regret it in the future!!"

Mr. Chai's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Chen Yingliang smiled again. Just as he was about to take the initiative to break off the engagement, someone next to him clapped his hands and cheered loudly: "Okay! A famous saying through the ages! Don't bully a young man into poverty! This sentence will be recorded in the annals of history.

, to warn future generations!”

"What did you say?!" Chai Gongzi, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, turned his head to look for the person applauding him. Chen Yingliang, Chen Laosan and others also turned their heads to follow the sound, but unexpectedly found that the person applauding him was

The person turned out to be the good neighbor wearing patched trousers who helped the Chen family in times of need, Mr. Qiao Song, who had been standing in the corner of the yard.

Compared with Mr. Chai who is dressed in fine clothes, Mr. Qiao Song in a coarse robe is of course incomparable in terms of clothing, but he is not inferior to Mr. Chai in terms of momentum. Mr. Chai glared at Mr. Qiao Song with a livid face, and his fierce eyes were quick to express his anger.

It was time to kill, but Mr. Qiao Song was more fearless than Chen Yingliang. He smiled at Mr. Chai, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Chai, please don't blame me. I'm presumptuous. I couldn't help but applaud when I heard Mr. Chen's wise words. I'd like to thank you for disturbing me."

Forgive me."

"Who are you?" Mr. Chai asked with a very ugly expression.

"Mr. Chen's neighbor." Mr. Qiao Song pointed in a direction, "The third house in the past, the one with a sycamore tree in the yard, is the shabby house below."

"Sure enough, he is also a pauper." Mr. Chai snorted in his heart, and shouted with an even uglier face: "Since you are not from the Chen family, why are you talking? Get out now, don't ask for trouble!"

"Mr. Chai, don't be so angry." Mr. Qiao Song showed no fear and said with a smile: "The current Mr. Chen is indeed a young man in trouble, but what he said just now is not right. Don't bully young men who are poor. Mr. Chai is prone to trouble.

Using power to suppress others and spreading the word will not only be detrimental to the reputation of the young master, but it will also make the Duke of Cheshire look bad, right?"

Mr. Chai's face turned pale, he clenched his fists and glared at Mr. Qiao Song. The servants brought by Mr. Chai did not hesitate and immediately came up to surround Mr. Qiao Song. Husai Dandan might attack at any time. Chen Yingliang was furious and came up.

One step forward with good neighbor Qiao Song\u516

The cunts stood side by side and asked loudly: "Brother Sichang, what do you mean? Is it possible that you still want to hit my guest?"

"I want to beat you!" Mr. Chai muttered in his heart. He waved his servants to leave, and then said to Chen Yingliang expressionlessly: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I just want to ask you now, do you want to break off the engagement or not?"

?”

"What if I insist on not agreeing to break off the engagement?" Chen Yingliang asked with a sneer.

"Then you are dead!" Mr. Chai was furious.

"Master Chai, you can rely on the strong to bully the weak, do you still want to kill people and silence them?" Master Qiao Song also couldn't understand Master Chai's attitude, and interrupted with a sneer: "Master Chai may have the courage to do this, but this is not the case in the Sui Dynasty.

Mr. Chai, you can cover the sky with one hand. The glorious history books and the public opinions will make your own decision. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely know about this matter. When that time comes, let’s see how Mr. Chai explains to His Majesty the laws of the country and the public opinion of the world!"

"You...!" Mr. Chai glared at Mr. Qiao Song again. Mr. Qiao Song showed no fear and looked back at Mr. Chai with a sneer.

Seeing Mr. Chai's arrogant look, Chen Yingliang, who was full of anger, simply said: "Brother Sichang wants to break off the engagement, okay, if you want me to agree to break off the engagement, I only have one condition, a very simple condition, as long as Brother Sichang agrees and does it."

If you do, I will immediately break off the engagement! And I will leave Daxing immediately and never come back!"

As soon as Chen Yingliang said this, Mr. Chai, whose face was once livid, calmed down, nodded and said, "Tell me what conditions you want. From an eighth-grade official position, a thousand taels of silver, is that enough?"

"I don't want Brother Sichang's official position, nor do I want Brother Sichang's money." Chen Yingliang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a very simple condition. I remember that the most luxurious restaurant in Daxing City is Tianxing Building, and almost all the guests in the store are dignitaries.

, a celebrity in the world, I am bold and want to invite Brother Sichang to come forward and hold a banquet in Tianxing Tower for dozens or hundreds of dignitaries. The more dignitaries, the better, but it must not be less than a hundred people."

"What do you want to do?" Mr. Chai's face changed slightly.

"Announce your breakup in public." Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "Brother Sichang, please make this matter public in public, explain the reasons for your breakup, and the conditions for your request to leave Daxing. Then someone will tell Brother Sichang what happened today.

Divide it into nine episodes, and talk about it in turn every day. There should be no shortage of listeners, and then I publicly agree to break off the engagement and leave Daxing City forever. How about it? Brother Sichang, this little brother’s condition is very simple, right?”

"Common! You are looking for death!" Mr. Chai was furious. He jumped up and kicked Chen Yingliang hard on the chest. Chen Yingliang, who knew some fighting skills, instinctively wanted to avoid it, but unfortunately his body was far inferior to it.

The former criminal police captain's body was kicked in the chest by Young Master Chai, and it immediately fell to the ground.
