Chapter 420 Differentiation and Disintegration(1/2)

The commercial street of the Liu family is becoming more and more prosperous.

Although the commercial street looks no different from other commercial streets in Haizhou City on the surface, it is always more prosperous than other families, and the relationship between the shopkeepers who rented the shop and the Liu family is quite harmonious.

This is the Liu family’s way of dealing with the world. It is one thing to know how to adapt to the times, and it is also one thing to know how to unite strength and strengthen yourself.

Although the shopkeepers of these stores are not from the Liu family, the rent alone is a considerable investment.

In addition, the Liu family also serves as their supplier, and can be said to be a supply chain tycoon in later generations. The continuous cash flow has entered the Liu family's pocket.

Although they would not suddenly gather a lot of wealth like Zhu Zhen, they would enter wherever they had the opportunity and would have a steady stream of wealth.

Liu Qu sat in the flower hall with a depressed expression, wandering around, silently silent.

Although the last time, I hugged Zhu Zhen’s thigh to save the family from misfortune, my reputation was completely terrible.

Who knows how shameless those aristocratic families are. After successfully escaped from danger, they kept singing this matter among the public, resulting in a complete severance of their reputation.

What the children of aristocratic families fear most is the destruction of their reputation, especially those like him who are talented and have the hope of becoming officials in the court.

Such a fuss basically has nothing to do with the career path.

Whenever I think of this, it is unacceptable.

The head of the Liu family looked at the back that he had grown up in front of him, stroked his gray beard and sighed quietly.

In fact, Liu Bowen had already sent a message to him, warning himself not to oppose Zhu Zhen, but he refused to listen, which in the end hurt Liu Qu.

At this moment, the head of the Liu family naturally looked ashamed.

Looking at the Wang brothers again, the anger was even more overwhelming. The reason why I took the wrong path was that I was so crazy and bewitched.

The breeze outside the window is soothing, and the fragrance of tea in the hall is everywhere.

The head of the Liu family just showed his hand slightly, signaling the Wang brothers to take it upon themselves, then picked up a cup of tea, sat on the floor with his eyelids hanging down, drinking slowly, and savoring the fragrance of tea.

The Wang brothers smiled awkwardly. They were not thirsty at first, but the head of the Liu family ignored them. Liu Qu looked depressed and it was really embarrassing to sit like this. Therefore, they each poured a cup of tea, held it in their hands but did not apply it. They looked at the decorations around them boredly, and their hearts were overwhelmed.

The interior decoration of the flower hall shows the rich and noble nature of the Liu family, with exquisite patterns on hanging beams and colorful walls, and the utensils and decorations are inlaid with gold and silver.

The coral, which is as bright as blood-red and crystal-clear as jade, is several feet tall. It is decorated with jade leaves and beads and fruits, and is covered with white jade buckets. If a breeze blows, the treasure light will flow, as if it is like a god among gods. Even the Wang brothers who have seen countless luxurious and rare things can't help but look at it frequently and secretly accept it.

The silence continued... The head of the Liu family was a kind person. Although he was angry that the Wang family dragged Liu Qu to this point, he was a guest when he came to the door. It was not the way for the Liu family to treat guests so coldly.

After pondering for a moment, the head of the Liu family said, "Do you two know that Zhu Zhen had made an appointment with Xian Kunzhong to meet in our Liu family. What's wrong?"

The head of the Wang family quickly bowed and said, "I don't know, but I was sent by a letter from Zhu Zhen yesterday, and I mentioned that I would like to discuss matters with the Wang and Liu families. However, he was busy with affairs and could not take time to visit one by one, so I asked my brother to come to the Liu family and discuss together."

The head of the Liu family said "Oh" and knew it in his heart.

What are the busy business that can’t take time to visit each one?

It was simply the Liu family that Zhu Zhen wanted to meet, and the Wang family was just by the way.

This is Zhu Zhen’s respect for Liu Bowen, and it is also a signal - if I respect you one foot, you have to pay me back one foot! Everyone is holding the flower sedan chair, and the face is given to you.

If it were the Wang family alone, Zhu Zhen could just send someone to call their brothers and come to see him?

Who do you think you are... But the head of the Liu family also became secretly alert. Judging from his previous style of conduct, Zhu Zhen is also an extremely arrogant person. In fact, even if Liu Bowen has a high status and is of great grace to teach, would that boy take it seriously?

If Liu Bowen had not returned to Yingtian, Zhu Zhen certainly wanted to come to see him, but now Liu Bowen is no longer here. He can recruit himself to the Navy Camp or the "County Public Party". Now he wants to lower his identity to the door. This means that if Zhu Zhen's proposal this time, the Liu family will refuse, then he will turn against him on the spot! I have come in person, but you don't give me face, so don't get along well in the future... Although the head of the Liu family was nervous, he didn't know what Zhu Zhen was doing. If he had to spend so much effort, it would be very difficult to do.

However, thinking of Liu Bowen's instructions to him before leaving, he secretly calmed down.

No matter what, just agree.

Could it be that Zhu Zhen could still let himself go to the oil pan at the foot of the mountain and rebel?

The servant quickly entered the flower hall and whispered: "Master, Xuyi County Bo is here and has just arrived at the main entrance."

The head of the Liu family stood up and ordered: "Open the middle door to greet him."

When the servants left quickly, the head of the Liu family looked at the Wang brothers and said, "Two, let's go and greet them together?"

The Wang brothers had already stood up and said in unison: "Of course I want it."

Zhu Zhen is here, how dare they sit here like an old man?

The head of the Liu family looked at Liu Qu, who was silent and decadent, sighed in his heart, and said, "My family's poetry and books are passed down from generation to generation, and etiquette is passed down from generation to generation. Don't lose your etiquette. Let's go out to welcome them together. Before leaving, your uncle had specifically instructed that he would definitely improve his relationship with Zhu Zhen and must not be willful."

"Affect the order."

When Liu Qu heard this, he stood up and dusted the wrinkles on his body, but his face was still pale and haggard, and he couldn't hide it: "Don't worry, uncle, I still understand these superficial skills."

The head of the Liu family was relieved. He was really afraid that Liu Qu would not be able to swallow this breath. Later, he and Zhu Zhen made an attack, not giving Zhu Zhen face, and violated Liu Bowen's instructions.

But if you want to comfort him, you don’t know where to start, so you can only pat your shoulder and turn around and walk out silently.

Liu Qu rubbed his face, let out a long breath, and followed the head of the Liu family.

Neither of them talked to the Wang brothers, nor even looked at them... The Wang brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This time the Liu family counted this resentment on the Wang family.

The Liu family was powerful and Liu Bowen was very favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. As a literati leader, he had great influence in Yingtian. His master-apprentice relationship with Zhu Zhen made the entire Liu family prosperous and energetic, and had a disgusting relationship with the Liu family. The Wang family was difficult to go forward.

The Wang brothers were actually vaguely dissatisfied. Although the stealing of Zhu Zhen’s food and grass and the later sale were all the ideas of the Wang family, didn’t the Liu family agree?

Don’t say that anyone bewitches anyone, they are not fools. If there is no benefit, will you listen to me?

Now that things are exposed and their reputation is ruined, the future of the official career is cut off, and we are going to blame us?

But now that things have come to this point, even if you talk more nonsense, it is useless... The Wang brothers followed out of the flower hall with anger.

The middle door of the Liu family mansion was wide open, and the head of the Liu family led Zhu Zhen, who was wearing a blue cloth, walked into the yard with a smile and talking and laughing. Liu Qu followed behind without expression, but finally he did not rude throughout the whole process.

The Wang brothers came to Zhu Zhen, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Bo."

Zhu Zhen glanced at them twice, responded with a "hmm" sound, turned his head and continued to follow the head of the Liu family to the main hall, talking and laughing.

The Wang brothers were both embarrassed and nervous... Zhu Zhen’s attitude towards the Liu family and the two brothers was completely different. Does this mean anything?

When they were worried, the group entered the main hall.

The head of the Liu family smiled and asked Zhu Zhen to be in charge of his position. Zhu Zhen refused and gave in and gave in. Finally, everyone gave up the position and sat on the chair casually.

There is a maid who serves incense tea.

"Brother Ben is here today and has a wealth of honor and I want to send it to you."

Zhu Zhen expressed his intentions directly, but he was shocked to everyone in the hall.

Give us a wealth?

We have hatred first. Compared to wealth and honor, we believe that Zhu Zhen sent him a knife more... The head of the Liu family always smiled. Although he was surprised and puzzled, he was not at all on his face. He said with a wry smile: "My uncle has ruined me. The previous thing is wrong with my Liu family. If you are angry, you might as well say anything.

The Liu family Shunmin, and the Uncle, who will guard Huai'an on behalf of Your Majesty, is our loyalty. No matter what your request is, the Liu family will definitely follow it."

This is equivalent to expressing the statement on behalf of the Liu family.

From now on, the Liu family has followed you with your leader, and whatever you say is... Zhu Zhen knew it in his heart and smiled: "The Liu family in Huai'an is the descendant of Liu Guangshi, and his mentor Liu Bowen are separated from his family. How dare I bet on the abruptness?

My mentor was in Yingtian and was loyal and diligent. Everyone knows that he was a model for our future advancement. Therefore, Ben Bo naturally wanted to get close to the Liu family.

What's more, because my uncle did not take care of Zhou, he caused Brother Liu to be corrupt, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. He always wanted to find an opportunity to compensate to express his feelings."

The head of the Liu family fell silent.

The words involved Liu Qu, and it was difficult for the head of the Liu family to replace him directly. This was a sign of rudeness. After all, Liu Qu sat aside, but he never spoke a word, which was inconsistent.

He looked at Liu Qu.

Liu Qu sat up straight, looked up at Zhu Zhen, his expression was not unusual, as if all his unwillingness was gone: "Bo Ye is so serious, and after all, this matter is a delusion that offended him.

All the punishments received were due to the crime. Fortunately, my uncle was generous and he saved the head of his neck. He was already frightened and did not dare to complain at all."

The head of the Liu family exclaimed. He was really afraid that Liu Qu would not be able to swallow this, so he fucked Zhu Zhen... The Wang brothers secretly curled their lips. Didn't they look like they wanted to slaughter Zhu Zhen before?

In front of others, he was still obediently lying down and pretending to be noble and strong! Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "It was just a show-off at that time. Uncle Ben did not do it well afterwards. It was indeed his army. Brother Liu really doesn't hold a grudge against Uncle Ben?"

Liu Qu said frankly: "To be honest, at first, I felt a little resentful in my heart. After all, my life's ambitions were in vain and I was a little overwhelmed.

However, I also understand that if I am in a different place, my methods will probably be a little more violent than Master Wang. I can accept the ending calmly and have no resentment in my heart."

This is actually Liu Qu's true words... It was because he wanted to plot against Zhu Zhen first, but he was plotted against him by others. What should I complain about?

Moreover, the rumors afterwards were also divergent by other aristocratic families, and they had nothing to do with the Liu family?

Everyone knows that a few days ago, Xuyi County Bo went out to sea to fish.

It's just that his reputation is corrupt, and he just couldn't accept it for a while.

His lifelong ambition and a beautiful career have been ruined in one go, and no one can accept it calmly... Zhu Zhen was quite surprised. He saw that his expression was not as fake, and he also had to be fake.

Where is Liu Bowen, the great god? Even if Liu Qu is disrespectful to his words, can he really do what he does to him?

In this way, can my plan be changed and can I pull the Liu family into my camp more thoroughly?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "If this is true, I might as well give Brother Liu a future. I wonder what Brother Liu is like?"

Liu Qu was stunned and blurted out: "What did you say?"

future?

I am so infamous below, do you still dare to use me?

Liu Qu was a little angry. I have acted so obediently. Do you still have to have fun with me?
