Chapter 151 Huang Wan'er VS Su Yunjin ( words please subscribe)
Time passed quickly and it was already the third day, early morning.
The entire White Tiger Hall was decorated with lights and guests were already entering from outside.
Today is the day that Chen Jie takes office as the leader of the White Tiger Hall.
In the inner courtyard, Chen Jie opened his arms. The maids Hongmei and Cuiju were fixing the hem of his clothes, and Su Yunjin was helping Chen Jie fix the collar of his clothes.
Just yesterday, their family officially moved into Baihu Hall.
The territory of Baihu Hall is much larger than the mansion of Zheng Chuan where Chen Jie once lived. Moreover, it is not only a place to live, but also the power center of the entire Baihu Hall.
Baihu Hall is divided into two courtyards, inner and outer courtyards.
The outer courtyard is divided into three rooms, and the inner courtyard is divided into five parts.
The three outer rooms are the accounting office, the clerical room, and the guard room.
They are respectively responsible for the accounts of the entire White Tiger Hall, the management of internal items, and the management of the White Tiger Hall guards.
Then there is the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard is divided into five departments, namely the kitchen department, the flower department, the eunuch department, the foreign servant department, and the carriage and horse department.
These five departments are responsible for the food, clothing, and daily life of the owner of the house. For example, the kitchen department is responsible for managing the cooks in the kitchen. Baihu Hall has its own cooks, and according to the rules, it needs to have three chefs and six assistants. Each chef must have his own signature cuisine to ensure that the owner can eat fresh dishes in a variety of ways.
Then there is the flower department, which in other words is the gardening department. The palace has gardeners, dog keepers, bird keepers, and fish keepers who are responsible for taking care of the flowers, birds, fish and insects throughout the palace, including the planting of lotus flowers in a large pond and other related issues.
Then there is the eunuch department. Eunuchs refer to maids. The maid team has also expanded from the original four maids to twelve now. The one in charge is Yin Hongmei and the second in charge is Cui Ju.
That’s right, it was the little maid who wanted to climb onto Chen Jie’s bed.
Then there is the External Service Department, which is mainly responsible for managing the domestic servants who clean the courtyard, as well as some maids.
They are mainly responsible for managing all external hygiene conditions. For example, if there are fallen leaves in the yard, they must clean them up in time and cannot neglect them.
The difference between eunuchs and maids is whether they work indoors or outdoors.
Maids are responsible for keeping the house clean and tidy, and their work needs to be meticulous, while the servants are relatively rough.
In addition to these, there is also a Chariot and Horse Department among the Five Departments. This department is specifically responsible for raising horses for Chen Jie and managing his travel.
The stable of the White Tiger Hall Master is not comparable to that of ordinary people. There are a total of twelve horses in this stable, including six top-quality horses, and four carriages.
Although according to the rules, the leader of the White Tiger Hall cannot use a two-horse carriage, which limits the size of the carriage, but the fact that he has four carriages to drive himself also shows the wealth of the White Tiger Hall.
Therefore, the Chariot and Horse Department also employed seven people, among whom the main person in charge was a sixty-year-old man.
This old man is very capable. Peng Shizhong used him when he was young. Not only is he good at raising horses, he is also a veterinarian. If a horse is sick, he can tell at a glance, so he is called the old horse herder.
In addition to the old horseman, there were three middle-aged men and three young ones.
The young ones are usually responsible for feeding the horses, the middle-aged ones are usually responsible for driving the carriage, and of course, when the hall master travels, the guards are usually in charge.
These are the five departments of the inner courtyard of the White Tiger Hall, and they are also the departments that Su Yunjin is responsible for managing. As the mistress of the house, she needs to be responsible for all the affairs of the inner courtyard. Moreover, Chen Jie is also planning to open a library in the inner courtyard. At that time, all the children of the meritorious disciples of the White Tiger Hall can be sent to study for free.
By then, the White Tiger Hall will help them train their children into talents, and after they finish their studies, they will be immediately given important positions.
This is Chen Jie’s internal talent selection mechanism.
You can't keep going out to recruit these talents. The children of these meritorious disciples are all loyal to you. If you find them, train them from a young age, and brainwash them, won't they be your most loyal subordinates in the future?
This is also the prototype of the academic faction, the most powerful of the three major factions of Chen Jie's future regime.
This internal school gradually developed and became the cradle of talents under Chen Jie, and was called Mianshui College.
This college is divided into the College of Internal Affairs and the Military College.
Batches of young and strong forces loyal to Chen Jie were trained, and the content of study in this academy became more and more professional. At the beginning, they studied the Four Books and Five Classics with Su Yunjin. Later, Chen Jie incorporated some modern disciplines and modern concepts of later generations into it, creating a unique academic system.
Of course, this is all later. Now the inner courtyard book hall has not yet opened, but Chen Jie has already allocated 3,000 taels of silver and designated an area in the backyard of the White Tiger Hall. The enrollment issue is all handed over to Su Yunjin. Chen Jie said to Su Yunjin: "I want you to become the best female teacher in the world in the future!"
"Your students will be all over the world in the future, and you will become the greatest teacher!"
This is the path that Chen Jie paved for Su Yunjin. Chen Jie wants to be the emperor, but when he becomes the emperor, sometimes people will change and they will weigh the pros and cons of certain things.
In the future, perhaps for political reasons, he will enter into political marriages with many powerful people, and all kinds of women will enter his harem, and he will be able to subdue them.
But what about Su Yunjin?
Can she defeat those jackals?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Huang Wan’er for example. If a woman like this goes crazy, he is really afraid that his wife will be bullied, so he wants to help Su Yunjin find a way out.
Even if he becomes the greatest in the world, she must be the one by his side, unshakable.
So Chen Jie thought of education. Su Yunjin came from a scholarly family and liked teaching very much. This was her hobby.
Since it is a hobby, he should promote it. And he also happened to have the idea of establishing a school. No matter whether it is to manage a sect or anything else, education is always the most important thing.
Therefore, Chen Jie wanted to hand over the top position of his education system to Su Yunjin.
First of all, education is so important. If you replace someone with one who is not worthy of your trust, how can the students you teach be loyal to you?
Su Yunjin's love for herself is beyond words. Anyone could betray her, but she couldn't.
Therefore, she had to be the person in charge of the school.
Secondly, Chen Jie was planning for the future. If Su Yunjin could become the dean of this academy, there would be many people in his system who would come from her school in the future. Even though she may not be very important now, once Chen Jie really gets his destiny, he would become the supreme emperor.
Then these people will be staunch supporters of the Queen's Party!
At that time, Su Yunjin's position will be indestructible, and it will also be able to dispel the unreasonable thoughts of concubines who will enter the palace in the future!
Of course, some people will ask, if these people have become the Queen's Party, will they pose a threat to Chen Jie?
The answer is no, because Chen Jie will intervene in the college and offer a special course: Ideology and Morality.
One idea that will be constantly instilled in them is to always be loyal to Chen Jiusi.
Therefore, in the future, they support Queen Su Yunjin out of affection, but their loyalty to Chen Jie is a belief, and belief is always greater than affection!
Of course, these are just some of Chen Jie's many plans.
In addition, Chen Jie also has various reform systems regarding the economy, military, and politics, but he has no chance to implement them now. The White Tiger Hall is still too small to implement them at all. He can only carry out small-scale reforms, or pilot reforms.
In addition, Chen Jie also carried out reforms on the gang members.
For example, militarized management.
Chen Jie re-selected his disciples and picked out those with average qualities to use as ordinary disciples, specifically to manage some basic gang business such as local tax collection and debt collection.
However, a group of people with good qualities were selected and placed under Xiaohu's management.
All of these disciples have left their jobs and do not participate in any local business. They only do one thing: practice martial arts and cultivate themselves!
Chen Jie named them: White Tiger Guards.
He also organized the thirteen brave men who had been loyal to him and had chosen to stand firmly on his side when he was fighting with Feng Xuan into the captains of the White Tiger Guard.
Each person manages ten people, so there are only one hundred and thirty White Tiger Guards in total, but each one is carefully selected and has very strong combat effectiveness.
Moreover, Chen Jie spent a huge amount of money, taking out 20,000 taels of silver to buy medicinal materials and various elixirs. In the end, all the thirteen team leaders were pushed to the Liujin Realm, and more than one hundred White Tiger Guards were pushed to the Mopi Realm, and a small number entered the Lianrou Realm!
In addition, Chen Jie also asked Xiaohu to select twelve guards who were absolutely loyal to him. A large number of these guards were from Xiantao Village. The talent selection plan that was set up at the beginning was effective.
These talents were sent to the city one after another.
Chen Jie spent another sum of money, and finally pushed the cultivation of these guards to the Flesh Training Realm. It would take some time to enter the Dark Energy Realm, and Chen Jie didn't have much money left.
There were only 50,000 taels of silver copied from Feng Xuan. More than 30,000 taels were spent on training the army. Chen Jie needed to keep some of the rest in case he needed to buy some medicinal herbs.
In addition, Chen Jie also gave the bone-strengthening pills that he and Doctor Bai had made to Xiaohu and Zhou Chu.
Xiaohu is quite capable and officially entered the Iron Bone Realm at noon yesterday.
Zhou Chu was not so good, but when he came this morning, his face was rosy and his strength had reached the Iron Bone Realm!
In this way, the reputation of Baihu Hall can be maintained.
Then there are the arrangements regarding some of the elders in Baihu Hall.
Uncle Fu was invited back by Chen Jie. In addition, there were also Peng Shizhong's Twelve Eagle Guards. After a purge, Eagle Two and six defectors who surrendered to Feng Xuan were eliminated. Finally, there were four left. They were all invited back by Chen Jie and served as instructors of the White Tiger Guards.
Chen Jie discovered that Uncle Fu was very good at training talents.
After Xiaohu was trained by him, he was completely transformed. Chen Jie appointed Fu Bo as the chief instructor of the White Tiger Guard and the other four Eagle Guards as adjutants.
Uncle Fu's strength is at the Iron Bone Realm, and the Eagle Guards are all masters of dark energy and are all experienced. With them training the White Tiger Guards, there is no need to worry about the White Tiger Guards' combat effectiveness.
In addition, there is his third brother, Lu Rong, who is also in the Iron Bone Realm, but his leg was broken by Qin Ying, so he has not been here these days.
The first thing Chen Jie did yesterday morning was to go see his third brother.
After a brief and effective communication, my third brother expressed his support for me.
However, Chen Jie still stated that the management of his third brother's Hutou Street would remain the same and would be based on the treatment given to Peng Shizhong during his time.
Lu Rong was very moved after hearing this, but he said that his leg might not be able to cope with the situation, so even though Chen Jie expressed his willingness to let him continue to manage Hutou Street.
But he didn't have such an idea. Instead, he wanted to be an instructor in the White Tiger Guard like Uncle Fu.
Chen Jie didn't know whether his third brother was smart or stupid. Giving up his own territory was equivalent to giving up his autonomy, but joining the White Tiger Guard meant not leaving the core of the White Tiger Hall.
It seems that this instructor's status is far less powerful than that of the manager of Hutou Street, but the White Tiger Guard is Chen Jie's direct subordinate. His coming in means that he has taken the initiative to get closer to Chen Jie, and he can be given important tasks in the future!
On the contrary, if he stayed in Hutou Street, he would be able to dominate the world. But when Chen Jie took off again, he would not be able to keep up, and perhaps he would only be a manager of Hutou Street for the rest of his life.
But it’s different when you join the White Tiger Guard.
This is considered Chen Jie's direct descendant.
Therefore, Lu Rong's choice was very smart. He gave up short-term interests and became the core of Chen Jie. Then, relying on the brotherhood between him and Chen Jie, as long as he did not do anything too extreme, his future would be bright!
Of course, what Lu Rong did was also beneficial to Chen Jie, as Chen Jie could now unify the planning of the entire Baihutang industry.
Chen Jie handed over almost all of these industries to Zhou Chu, who became the steward who managed all kinds of industries on behalf of Chen Jie.
Xiaohu has a high talent for martial arts, strong strength, and is in charge of military affairs.
Zhou Chu is very versatile, flexible and has good management skills, so apart from military affairs, all management matters within the gang were handed over to him.
Moreover, Baihutang now has many industries, including Nanhu Salt Field, Beishan Iron Mine, four streets, and three village fish pens.
With all these industries added together, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the third largest gang in Mianshui.
Chen Jie also gave all the people except the military talents to Zhou Chu, so Zhou Chu suddenly had more than 400 more people under him, all of whom were former disciples of the White Tiger Hall. Chen Jie found that the staff were not enough, so he planned to recruit another 100 disciples from the three subordinate villages and towns to enter the city.
Therefore, Zhou Chu may have more than 500 people under him in the future, and he will become a big figure in Mianshui County.
Chen Jie also gave Feng Xuan's former residence to Zhou Chu, and Zheng Chuan's house to Xiaohu.
These two are his right-hand men.
In response, Xiaohu said that it was not necessary. He did not want to be too far away from Chen Jie, because he not only served as the chief of the White Tiger Guard, but also as the commander of Chen Jie's twelve guards, which was equivalent to the position of Fu Bo before.
By the way, Peng Shizhong’s guards were previously called the Twelve Eagle Guards, and since Chen Jie’s twelve guards were led by Xiaohu, Chen Jie called them the Twelve Tiger Guards!
Therefore, Xiaohu usually lives in the guard room in the outer courtyard.
We have said before that there are three rooms in the outer courtyard, including the accounting office, commuter room, and guard room.
Xiaohu usually lives in the guard room.
In addition, Chen Jie replaced the people in the accounting office and checked the accounts frequently. The last time he checked the iron mine, he found that there was false accounting in the accounting office. However, he was not the head of the White Tiger Hall at that time, so it was not easy for him to intervene too much.
Now it has been directly changed, and then there is the commuter room, which is in charge of the procurement of materials within the gang. It is a lucrative position. Chen Jie originally wanted to let Uncle Zhong come.
Unfortunately, Uncle Zhong was reluctant to leave his hometown and was unwilling to leave Xiantao Village. Chen Jie had no choice but to let Xiaohu take over temporarily.
But his account, well, his talent in martial arts is just as high as his math ability is poor, there is no way, Chen Jie wants to let Zhou Chu do it part-time.
Zhou Chu immediately waved his hand and said, "Master, please forgive me. I can't handle the affairs outside the hall. Please ask someone else to take care of the affairs inside the hall."
There was no way. Chen Jie also had a headache because of the shortage of manpower.
The disadvantage of having been in power for a short time has become apparent. There are not enough talented people. If my wife's school is opened, there will be no shortage of such talents in internal affairs in the future.
But the situation is rather special now. It is not easy to find someone who can read and write and is good at dealing with people.
But at this moment, his wife proposed a candidate to him. After hearing this, Chen Jie scowled and did not seem very happy.
"My lady, although this person is talented, but..."
The lady looked at Chen Jie and smiled, "My husband, the book says that those who achieve great things must be tolerant and tolerant. When Zhou Gong spits out food for his guests, the whole world will be at peace. We cannot discard him just because he temporarily follows the wrong master."
"I asked Brother Zhou about it. After Feng Xuan came to power, this person was marginalized by Feng Xuan because he was dissatisfied with what Feng Xuan did. He had been idle at home until you sent people to arrest him."
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin after hearing this. Su Yunjin smiled and said, "Master, I don't know too many important things, but I know a few anecdotes. Zhang Liao, the general during the Three Kingdoms period, originally followed Lu Bu. Later, Cao Cao recruited him under his command. That's when he fought the Battle of Xiaoyaojin and became famous throughout the world. He made an unparalleled contribution to Cao Wei."
"During the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng was originally a member of the crown prince's old party. Later, he even offered to kill Li Shimin. However, after Li Shimin surrendered without holding grudges, Wei Zheng became the most loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty and a famous minister of his generation. Therefore, those who want to achieve great things should not lose sight of the big picture because of small things."
"I know that you hate Feng Xuan for being ungrateful and killing your adoptive father. I also know that you hate evil and will avenge it. But you must overcome your anger if you want to accomplish great things. You can be angry with him or hate him, but if you can forgive him, you will win his heart and gain a talent."
Su Yunjin gently persuaded Chen Jie.
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "So my lady thinks I should forgive him?"
Su Yunjin said: "There is no such thing as forgiveness. It's just a meritorious service for his crime. That's all. If he can't do his job as the logistics manager, you can kill him."
After hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll just listen to what my lady says."
Just like that, under Su Yunjin's persuasion, Chen Jie gave this guilty man a chance. This man was also an acquaintance, and was one of the two trump cards in Feng Xuan's hand at the time, Si Xi, the Si Xi of making a fortune.
Si Xi followed Feng Xuan because Feng Xuan advocated loyalty and righteousness at that time.
He followed Feng Xuan because of his loyalty, and left Feng Xuan because of his loyalty.
Feng Xuan's disloyalty and injustice made him feel ashamed, so after Feng Xuan obtained the position of the leader of the White Tiger Hall, he tried to admonish him many times, but in the end he was alienated from him. He simply demoted him to the lowest position and no longer used him. Then Chen Jie killed Feng Xuan, and captured him when he was clearing out Feng Xuan's remaining followers.
He was originally going to be killed, but at this time of needing people, and with the persuasion of his wife, Chen Jie finally decided to use Si Xi.
However, he also sent two trusted confidants to watch him and report his movements at any time.
And Si Xi was indeed a capable person. After he took on the role of logistics manager, the entire logistics system started to operate at a rapid speed, making Chen Jie's dispatching in an orderly manner. Chen Jie even sighed that what a talent!
It was precisely because of his cooperation that Zhou Chu's arrangement of the venue reached a new level.
Filling in the gaps.
"Hall Master!"
Chen Jie was getting dressed when Xiaohu walked in.
Since Chen Jie took over as the hall master, the way his subordinates address him has changed.
For example, Zhou Chu, who used to call himself Jiusi all the time, now always addresses himself as Tangzhu. The respect for hierarchy is ingrained in his bones. Although Xiaohu occasionally calls himself Brother Jiusi, most of the time he calls himself Tangzhu.
When working, it is called position.
"Ok?"
Chen Jie turned to look at Xiao Hu, only to see that he was wearing new clothes today and looked very energetic. He said to Chen Jie, "Master, the guards have been arranged. I checked the security of the White Tiger Hall three times today and found no blind spots."
"Ah, very good."
Chen Jie nodded, and Xiao Hu continued, "Chu Zhou just told me that the guests have arrived one after another, and some of them need you to greet them in person."
"Yes, I'll be there right away."
Chen Jie nodded and said.
At this time, Su Yunjin had almost finished tidying up.
The two maids Yin Hongmei and Cui Ju also straightened the hem of Chen Jie's clothes.
The clothes Chen Jie wore today were very elegant. The whole surface was black silk, with ferocious beasts embroidered on it with gold thread. He looked solemn and dignified, and had an extraordinary demeanor.
Just this one piece of clothing cost a full fifty taels of silver, of which two taels of gold were used to knead the gold thread. This piece of clothing is enough to support an ordinary family's food for several years. This is the enjoyment of the upper class.
If he was still farming and practicing medicine in Xiantao Village, he might not earn fifty taels in a year or even two years, let alone be so extravagant as to spend fifty taels on a piece of clothing.
But now he can wear this dress at will.
Of course, Chen Jie would not wear this kind of clothes normally. This kind of clothes is more of a formal dress. On weekdays, he still likes to wear that kind of loose martial arts uniform.
Su Yunjin straightened Chen Jie's collar, looked at him from top to bottom and said, "Well, it's OK."
Chen Jie said: "This dress is really troublesome to wear."
Su Yunjin smiled and said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Your husband's status is different now. For such formal occasions, there are naturally rules for dressing."
Chen Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Are the rules so strict for a mere White Tiger Hall Master?"
Su Yunjin said: "Haha, the White Tiger Hall Master is not small in the eyes of many people. If you rank them, you can also be ranked in the top ten in this county with more than 100,000 people. In this way, are you not considered a big shot?"
Chen Jie shook his head and said, "I won't argue with you. I find that you are also very eloquent now, my lady."
"Haha, no way. I can say these words because my husband is an open-minded person. If my husband doesn't want me to say it, I will never say such words."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, if you are willing to talk, then say more. Hearing both sides will lead to enlightenment, while hearing only one side will lead to ignorance. You asked me to put aside the past grudges and use Si Xi. Now it seems that this is a good idea."
Su Yunjin said: "I didn't ask my husband to use it, but my husband was willing to give him a chance. This just proves that my husband has great ambitions and tolerance. This has nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at his young lady and said with a smile, "Madam?"
"Ok?"
Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie.
"I find that you are much more cheerful and smarter now than before. Sometimes your suggestions are refreshing to me."
Chen Jie praised.
Su Yunjin said, "I used to dig wild vegetables, do needlework, and cook in the village. I didn't need to be too smart. But now my husband asked me to do management work. I found that some of the sage books I learned from my father when I was a child can be used, so I said some words from the books. If I say that I have become smarter now, maybe my husband is the mentor. Without my husband, I might still be the foolish woman in the village, a jinx!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the young lady whom he had trained and felt very proud.
At this time, he turned to look at the other two maids and said, "Hongmei, you two take Madam into the house to change into new clothes. Today is a festive day and we cannot wear ordinary clothes."
"Yes."
Hongmei and Cuiju immediately took Su Yunjin to dress up.
At this time, Chen Jie followed Xiaohu out of the yard.
Then I saw that everyone outside the hospital was busy.
"Hurry up, fry the pork until it's half cooked, and then put it in the pan to fry it until it's sugar-colored when we're ready to eat."
"Yes, yes, why are the fish of different sizes? These ones are too big. Change them to ones that weigh one and a half kilograms. Clean them up immediately, then fry them, and pour the sweet and sour sauce on them when the customers come."
"The one moving the table over there should be gentler. Move those two tables inwards so that you can't see the high platform anymore."
"Yes, the lantern next to the word righteousness on the platform is tilted to the left. It's crooked, crooked!"
"And you guys, when guests come, serve the fruits first, then the candied desserts to fill their mouths, and finally the hot dishes."
"And you, leave this first row alone. Lord Darughachi is coming today, so the center of the first row should be reserved for him..."
When Chen Jie came out, he saw Zhou Chu who was busy like a top.
At this time, Zhou Chu, who had just recovered from his injury, seemed to be in high spirits.
A lot of good things have been happening recently, and Zhou Chu feels that he has reached the highlight of his life.
First of all, his status was upgraded. He went from being a marginal figure to becoming the most sought-after manager of the outer courtyard of the White Tiger Hall. Now he had to manage almost all industries by himself. His status rose rapidly and he became the second most important person in the White Tiger Hall.
Then his strength also improved. Chen Jie gave him two bone-strengthening pills at once. His talent was not as good as Xiaohu's, and he broke through with just one pill. However, with the effect of the two bone-strengthening pills, he successfully entered the Iron Bone Realm.
And Chen Jie was very kind. While his strength was improving, he gave Zheng Chuan's mansion to himself.
He used to live under someone else's roof, at his father-in-law's house, but now his father-in-law's house is not as grand as his new home!
The improvement of his social status, the rapid growth of his own strength, and the sharp increase in economic conditions, all these conditions added together mean a rapid rise in his family status.
In the past, he was a useless son-in-law at home.
Both the elder brother-in-law and the younger brother-in-law looked down on him. Even his father-in-law, Sun Buer, looked down on him to some extent. After all, everything Zhou Chu had at that time was given by their Sun family.
These things made Zhou Chu unable to hold his head up. Even if his family members did not say anything extreme, he still felt ashamed of himself and belittled himself.
At that time, everyone in the mansion really thought that he was a gigolo.
But since he followed Chen Jiusi until today, Zhou Chu has stood up.
In the past, he would come home late after doing work, and his family would not wait for him for dinner, but now, if he doesn’t come home, the Sun family won’t prepare dinner.
In the past, when the servants of the Sun family saw Zhou Chu, they would greet him, but the contempt in their eyes was hard to conceal. Now, when Zhou Chu returned home, all the servants greeted him from the bottom of their hearts. Some even tried to get close to him and wanted to get their relatives into the White Tiger Hall, but were all rejected by Zhou Chu.
In the past, my elder brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law didn’t take me seriously when they saw me. But now, no matter it is my elder brother-in-law or younger brother-in-law, when they see me, they have to call me: brother-in-law (brother-in-law).
Even my own wife treats me differently.
In the past, he had to prepare water for his wife to wash her feet at home, but ever since Chen Jie promoted him and gave him the Zheng family's big house, his fierce wife became well-behaved.
Last night she actually took the initiative to prepare water for me to wash my feet. It was so cool to see her squatting down to wash my feet.
Zhou Chu understood that everything he had today was given to him by the Jiusi brothers, so his gratitude to Chen Jie was beyond words.
Now he was in high spirits, busying around like a top. When he saw Chen Jie coming out, he immediately smiled and said, "Master,"
Chen Jie said: "Oh, Lao Zhou, you are in good spirits."
Zhou Chu laughed and said, "Hahaha, you don't know, my wife made me some foot-washing water yesterday and washed my feet for me."
"Oh, Master Zhou is so mighty!"
When Xiaohu heard this, his eyes widened and he looked very surprised.
Zhou Chu glanced at Xiao Hu and said, "Hu Zi, don't mock me, I'm talking about business."
Chen Jie said: "Yes, Huzi, Master Zhou has finally stood up. He will no longer be that Black-eyed Bear."
"Hey, Master, I'm not as bullying as you are. I have the final say in my current family status."
Chen Jie said: "Yes, yes, it's as good as it gets. By the way, how is the venue arranged?"
"It's almost done. People are starting to come in now. Uncle Fu is welcoming them in front. But soon, someone of the level of a Taibao will come. I'm afraid you will need to greet them."
Chen Jie said: "Well, I understand."
As soon as I finished saying this, I saw someone coming.
"Congratulations, Brother Jiusi!"
Chen Jie turned around and saw Hua Sanniang coming with two servants, but they did not go through the main gate.
Chen Jie asked: "Sister Hua, what about you?"
Hua Sanniang casually handed Chen Jie a gift and said, "This is a gift for you. By the way, where is Yunjin? I am with Yunjin today, so I will not join in the fun in your front yard."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Oh, thank you Sister Hua, Yun Jin is in the house."
Hua Sanniang turned and went into the house. Chen Jie said, "Okay, Thirteen Guardians, the oil seller is here."
Sure enough, after Hua Sanniang, all the important figures in Mianshui County came one after another. There were many more people who came today than the time when Feng Xuan came. The time when Feng Xuan came, they all came because of their relationship with Nan Batian. Nan Batian did have some relationship with him.
But how can he compare with Darughachi?
When we heard that Darughachi was coming today, many people, whether they should come or not, from both the black and white worlds, basically all came.
Zhou Chu specially arranged someone to call out the names at the door.
"Shunfeng Escort Agency, Mr. Sun and his son are here to present gifts!"
"Gu Qingfeng, the leader of the Ghost Hand Hall of the Cao Gang, is here to present a gift."
"The Cao Gang white paper fan, a gift from Bai Mosheng."
"The leader of the Eagle Hall of the Fishermen's Gang, Qin Ying, has come with his wife to present a gift..."
"Leader of the Cao Gang, Leader Liu is here to present gifts."
"Leader of the Fishermen's Clan, Leader Nan and his wife are here to present gifts..."
As a group of people arrived one after another, some heavyweights all came to give gifts, and the guests and friends around them stared with their eyes wide open. Wow, it seems that all the Thirteen Guardians are here today.
"Yes, this Mianshui County hasn't had such a grand event for a long time."
"Yes, the Southern Tyrant, the Northern Old Liu, the Thirteen Protectors are invincible. Almost all of the Thirteen Protectors are here today, right?"
After hearing this, someone said, "No way, Constable Zhang Liye is not here."
As he was talking, he heard a voice outside the door: "The magistrate is here!"
At this time, everyone looked and saw that the carriage of County Magistrate Tang Wannian had arrived, followed by the chief constable Zhang Liye of the Thirteen Guardians, but Wu Hong was not there.
I heard that Wu Hong seemed to be in seclusion and hasn't come out in the past few days.
Chen Jie immediately went over to greet the magistrate.
Tang Wannian had only met Chen Jie once in Yihong Tower, but he did not expect that in such a short period of time, the little man who was behind the big guys at the beginning had grown to the level where he could stand on equal footing with himself.
"Master Chen, you are really young and promising!"
Tang Wannian couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Jie had County Magistrate Tang taken to his seat. Just then, a voice was heard from outside: "Miss Hongyan from Yihong Tower is here to present a gift!"
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard it and was about to answer it.
Then I heard a puzzled voice next to my ear: "Hey, this Chen Tangzhu is so young, and he is related to Yihonglou?"
Hearing this voice, Chen Jie turned around and saw Huang Wan'er who came with Nan Batian.
Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie with a smile on her face, her eyes examining him, as if to say, that Hong Yanqiao must be related to you, that kind of relationship.
Before Chen Jie could explain, he heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Mrs. Nan is right. We have many friends in Yihonglou. Not to mention Hall Master Chen, even Gang Leader Nan is a friend of Yihonglou!"
"Oh, is it so?"
Huang Wan'er seemed very confused and looked towards Nan Batian.
Nan Batian frowned and said, "Miss Hongyan, please be careful with your words. I have always been strict with myself. When have I ever been to your Yihong Tower?"
Qiao Hongyan was stunned. It seemed that Nan Batian had never been to Yihonglou. Was this old man not interested in women? Or was he a hypocrite?
But she might never have imagined in her dreams that Nan Batian, the mighty Nan Batian, did not want to, but could not!
A few people were talking when they heard a voice: "Lord Darughachi has arrived!"
At this sound, all the men, women, old and young in the yard stood up and rushed to the door. At this time, they saw a group of black-armored cavalrymen guarding a large carriage pulled by three horses slowly approaching this side.
The carriage was very big and could probably seat seven or eight people.
In front of the team was the leader Qimugege riding on horseback.
At this time, the team arrived, the cavalry team stopped, and Chen Jie stepped forward.
Qimuge dismounted, and immediately came to the front of the carriage and said, "Sir, we are here."
After hearing this, someone in the carriage said, “Hmm.”
Immediately afterwards, the two beauties opened the curtain of the carriage, and a guard who was accompanying the carriage immediately knelt down under the carriage. Yelu stepped on the guard's back to get out of the carriage. A beautiful woman had already prepared shoes for him, and Yelu put on his shoes and walked away.
I looked up and saw the people in the conference hall.
At this time, Chen Jie immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Yelu."
At the same time, the people behind him also bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Darughachi."
Yelu waved his hand and said, "There are quite a lot of people here today."
Chen Jie asked, "Sir, can you find a secluded place?"
"No need. I haven't been so lively for a long time."
Then he took Chen Jie's hand and said, "Come on, take me around your White Tiger Hall."
Chen Jie said: "Yes."
Chen Jie took Yelu to take a brief look at the White Tiger Hall, but did not go to the place where the women were staying. Yelu said, "Well, it's good. The White Tiger Hall is also a good place. By the way, when does the ceremony start?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Just wait for the adults."
Lord Yelu arrived: "Okay, let's get started."
Yelu came to the main seat, and the ceremony officially began.
The words were all clichés, but the meanings they represented were different. With Lord Yelu's endorsement today, it meant that Chen Jie, the leader of the White Tiger Hall, was recognized by Darughachi.
The meaning contained in this is profound and is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Anyone who wants to attack the White Tiger Hall in the future must consider whether they are a match for Darughaci.
Those who want to cooperate with the White Tiger Hall in the future should also think twice. Cooperating with the White Tiger Hall is equivalent to indirectly standing on the team of Lord Darughachi.
Thus, the whole ceremony ended in an extremely successful manner, and no one had any problem with Chen Jie taking on the position of the head of the White Tiger Hall.
After the meeting, everyone went to get close to Darughachi, and Chen Jie seemed to have become an outsider.
Just when Chen Jie was free, a maid suddenly ran over. Chen Jie recognized her immediately. It was Huang Wan'er's maid Du Juan. Du Juan ran over and directly handed Chen Jie a note.
Chen Jie looked over and saw the words: [Come quickly! ]
Chen Jie frowned. After Huang Wan'er came today, Chen Jie arranged her in a room with a secret passage. Chen Jie was going to leave through the secret passage directly after finishing his business, without anyone noticing!
I just didn't expect that this crazy woman couldn't stand loneliness.
Come soon?
Come if you want, no one is afraid of whoever.
Chen Jie asked Xiaohu to watch here while he went to change his clothes.
Then he left and entered the inner hall, found the passage to the secret room, and entered the room where Huang Wan'er was.
But as soon as he came out, Chen Jie frowned immediately.
What about people?
Where is that crazy Huang Wan'er?
Didn’t we agree to wait here?
Chen Jie was thinking about it, so he went out from the secret passage, then went around to the main gate and found Cui Ju, who was assigned to serve Huang Wan'er.
Chen Jie looked at Cui Ju: "Cui Ju, where is the gang leader's wife?"
"Ah, she was just saying she was bored, and the lady happened to be passing by, so she went to look for the lady."
"what?!"
Huang Wan'er went to look for her wife? !
