Chapter 4 (1/2)
After Chen Chu entered the hall, all the whispers disappeared. There were many people in the hall. There was a very familiar figure and two elders sitting in the upper seat. There were some middle-aged men in important positions and some young talents in the family.
Chen Tong, the patriarch, is Chen Chu's father, and Chen Yan, the second elder who framed Chen Chu, and Chen Fu, the third elder.
When the two faces meet, a complex feeling melts and opens, making the eyes of father and son slightly red.
Since Chen Tong failed to ask zhenyuanjing master to cure Chen Chu, there has been a lot of gossip in the family. Because of the high employment fee, the family economy is very fast and difficult to turn around. Chen Tong has to give up under pressure. In recent months, Chen Chu has never seen his father again, but he knows that his father Chen Tong has never given up.
Although Chen Tong is not the father of Chen Chu who passed through, but he integrates the memory of this body. Chen Chu also regards Chen Tong as his father from the heart.
Seeing that Chen Chu and Xiao Wan came in, their straight body didn't look hurt at all. Chen Tong stood up excitedly, with a tear in his eyes. He wanted to go over and have a good look at his son. However, as he was talking with foreign guests, he could only pretend to be calm and sit down. He still showed his excitement by holding the tea cup tightly.
Chen Chu sat down in a humble position. At this time, he saw a fat middle-aged man sitting on the right side of Chen Tong's seat. He was wearing a light blue robe with a golden clover embroidered on the cuff and collar. However, because of the man's big body, his calm and elegant temperament was completely destroyed.
”Patriarch, what do you think of the conditions?”
The fat man stroked the sparse goatee on his chin and said triumphantly.
”Mr. Lin Feng, we Chen's family are very sincere this time, but it's too high for you to ask 20000 gold coins with a volume of improved prescription.”
Chen Tong Gong offered his hand and said with a smile.
The fat man, who was called Lin Feng, had a disdainful look on his face. He sighed deliberately: ”it is said that the Chen family is the first family in Yuanbei city. It seems that what I heard today is not true. This improved Guiyuan pill is countless times better than the original one, and its value is far more than 20000 gold coins. Since you don't like it, I have to go to other families to try my luck.”
Then Lin Feng stood up with a sigh and swaggered out of the hall. The two soldiers who followed him left without saying a word.
Chen Tong stood up and opened his mouth. Finally, he failed to say anything to keep him. The hall became quiet. At this time, the two elders beside him could not help it any more. He said abruptly: ”it's not because the patriarch was so impulsive that he consumed too much financial resources in the family the year before last. Now he has lost so much money that he can't even get 20000 gold coins.”
Chen Chu looked at the alchemist leaving, looking a little trance. At this time, he heard the hoarse voice of the second elder Chen Yan, and immediately came back to God. Chen Tong's face was slightly red, but he could not refute what he wanted to say. The two elders were even more reluctant to let go, and blamed the clan leader for the recent situation of the family.
”Originally, the alchemy business of the Chen family was booming. Because of economic reasons, they could only use some cheap materials, which led to the decline of the Chen family's business and greatly affected their reputation. Now even some minerals and materials can't be sold. Now it's better, even those escort halls in Yemen can't be sold.”
”If it wasn't for that time, how could our Chen family be humiliated like this?”
