Chen Qingren, as usual, put incense on the tablets in the east wing. Standing in front of the tablets, Chen Qingren muttered a few times, then inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then stood silently for a while before leaving.

The tablets offered here are not Chen Qingren's ancestors, but his two brothers. These two brothers are like brothers and sisters. They worked together in Tonglu County, and then they failed in Chenjia Town and then joined Zhu Yicheng together.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that seeking refuge. You must know that Chen Qingren, Xiong Li, Mao Yikang and others were forced to sue for the situation and even made a petition to save their lives at Zhu Yicheng. In the subsequent battle against Tonglu, Chen Qingren almost lost his head. If Zhu Yicheng's army had not arrived quickly, his corpse would have rotted away long ago.

From the perspective of time, Chen Qingren can be considered an old man who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and even longer than Liao Huanzhi surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Those who follow the dragon heroes like him who traveled through the battlefield but did not die generally do well.

However, Chen Qingren is not doing well compared to others, because he is timid and afraid of death, and has a humble background, so he naturally has no ambitions. After following Zhu Yicheng to Ningbo, Chen Qingren changed from a warrior to a local area. Since he was a yamen runner, Ningbo urgently needed a reliable person to manage the local area, so Chen Qingren took the position of a classic history based on his early status as Zhu Yicheng.

I don’t know if he is lucky or is lucky. Generally, old men like him who have been a dragon very early, if they fight in the army for a few battles, they will be a lieutenant. If they make military achievements, they will be even faster. Just like Dong Dashan and Wang Dong, they are now powerful figures. Even if Chen Qingren’s starting point is not as high as theirs, he worked hard. However, he is still a guerrilla or a general.

Unfortunately, Chen Qingren worked in the dictionary for several years, and then he was only transferred to the capital and promoted to the position of the experience of the Ministry of the Metropolitan Command. Although he had some identities in the local area, he actually changed to the level of a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of the Provincial Capital City in later generations.

From this point of view, Chen Qingren was doing a bad job. But then again, compared to his two brothers, Xiong Li and Mao Yikang, Chen Qingren was lucky.

Xiong Li and Mao Yikang did not transfer to the local area back then. After Tian Wenyong died, they were assigned to Dong Dashan's subordinates. After the war in Ningbo, they were promoted to the lieutenant and led a hundred households. After a few battles, they were promoted very quickly. When Zhu Yicheng conquered Nanjing City and proclaimed emperor in Nanjing, they were already at the level of a thousand households, and they were not sure how much higher they were than Chen Qingren, who was just a history of history.

Unfortunately, the so-called clay pot cannot escape the well and the general is dead. In the battle of attacking Guangdong, Xiong Li was killed. Mao Yikang was also unfortunately killed in the battle of Jiangbei. After their death, the court posthumously awarded him his post and gave him a reward to the common people. This may look good in the eyes of others, but the so-called death of a person and the lights are gone, and this person is gone. What's the use of having more glory?

Whenever Chen Qingren thought of this, he felt very moved. He remembered that when the three brothers were drinking together, the two brothers once laughed at him for being too brave and not daring to fight for wealth, but were willing to travel around the place. However, after things changed, the only one of the three survived was Chen Qingren, while the other two brothers had long been no longer in this world.

"Time is... life is..." Chen Qingren couldn't help but sigh a few times when he thought of this. Thinking of his brotherhood, he specially set up tablets for his two brothers at home and burned incense and sacrificed every day.

On this day, after cooking the incense, he walked out of the wing room and returned to the front hall to use breakfast. After dinner, he would change into his official uniform and go to the yamen to take a walk.

The level of the experience of the Ministry of Command is not high, only the sixth rank, but it is also a figure in the local area. Moreover, Chen Qingren is located in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang. In recent years, with the prosperity of commerce and trade in the Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang has also flourished. Chen Qingren has done a very good job in this position.

"Master." Just after just taking a few sips of soy milk, Chen Qingren's butler Chen Qiang walked in from outside before he had time to eat the rice cake in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Chen Qingren asked subconsciously how old Chen Qiang was older than Chen Qingren, but by seniority he was Chen Qingren's nephew. Since he gained a foothold in Ningbo, he asked someone to go to his hometown to bring his family over. At that time, Chen Qiang also found Chen Qingren. Because he was a member of his own tribe, and the family really needed a reliable person, Chen Qingren asked Chen Qiang to be his housekeeper.

"Mr. Li asked someone to send an invitation, saying that he would like to invite you to enjoy your face later today. He set up a banquet in the Louwai Building."

"Mr. Li? Which Mr. Li? Take it to me and take a look." Chen Qingren was slightly stunned and then said.

Chen Qiang quickly handed over an invitation from his arms. Chen Qingren only knew a few big characters before, but after becoming a dictionary for many years, he invited a scholar to teach him to recognize words. Over the years, he has improved a lot and even written well. This is why he can now become an experienced person.

After taking the invitation and opening it, Chen Qingren frowned slightly, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Chen Qiang: "How many door bags have you taken?"

"Master, I..." Chen Qiang was stunned and stuttered for a moment. He didn't know how to answer yes.

"Hmph!" Chen Qingren snorted coldly: "Master, I am a yamen runner, and I have been working in the classic history for so many years. Now, for the experience, I don't understand these masters? Chen Qiang, you are so brave!"

He slapped the table hard and the bowls and chopsticks on the table jumped up because of this blow. Chen Qingren's face turned dark and Bao Gong was even more fierce in his eyes.

You should know that although Chen Qingren was greedy for life and fear of death, he had also killed people with his own hands back then. Moreover, as a local official over the years, Chen Qingren had already developed a strong position in his official position. When Chen Qiang saw the master like this, he was so scared that his face was pale and hurriedly knelt down.

"explain!"

"Back... back to the master, the young man received a silver dollar. The young man thought that Mr. Li was also a well-known family in Hangzhou City, and he just invited the master to the banquet. The young man was so worried about the lard. The young man was loyal to the master. The master... no... Uncle Fifth, please spare your nephew."

Chen Qingren was extremely annoyed by what Chen Qiang did. You should know that he had set rules at home that his servants were not allowed to make decisions without authorization. Although Chen Qiang's actions today did not make decisions without authorization, in fact, he had received an invitation for Chen Qingren.

Generally speaking, when encountering such a thing, Chen Qiang should know Chen Qingren in advance. Only when Chen Qingren nodded and approved could he accept the invitation. However, this time Chen Qiang took it first and then reported it to Chen Qingren, which is why Chen Qingren was really angry.
