Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 393 The Little Traitor Chen Jinghe
In the hall that was illuminated by hundreds of lanterns as if it were daytime, the crowds were turbulent, and the shuttle of the two little ones was not eye-catching. Of course, in the eyes of those who care, these two little ones are undoubtedly the only protagonists.

All the prominent people present focused their attention on Chen Jing and his brother and sister.

"The Taishi was far away in Beiping to supervise the suppression of the remnants of Goryeo, and the eldest son came to Guangzhou to observe the people's sentiments. This is really a father and son working together to take care of the country."

On the second floor, Chen Xi put his hands on the guardrail and smiled at Hu Sizong beside him, who also shook his head helplessly.

"It is estimated that they also sneaked out. The grand master just asks, what can we small people do?"

While speaking, Hu Sizong saw Chen Jiading in the hall, and said to Chen Xidao: "Mr. Chen, it seems that your young master has also guessed the identity of the young master."

"That stinky boy."

Chen Xi saw that Chen Jiading was concentrating on approaching Chen Jinghe, so he turned his head and said to the butler behind him, "Go and bring him back to me, don't be rash, in case you startle the young master and the princess' old man again!" Don't skin him."

"It's all right." Hu Sizong stopped him from the side: "It's good to have Jia Ding to follow, it can save you a lot of trouble."

In the land of Guangzhou, Chen Jiading is undoubtedly the top young master. With Chen Jiading following Chen Jinghe as a dog's leg, there is no one who is not open-eyed and dares to cause trouble.

In other words, even if Chen Jinghe wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, he would not be so stupid as a tiger.

The fact is true, ever since Chen Jiading followed, wherever Chen Jinghe went, the road was smooth, and no one dared to snatch anything he liked, as for the matter of paying the bill.

"It's all mine."

Chen Jiading Pi Dian Dian followed behind to sign the bill, Chen Jing and his brother and sister bought one, and he quickly signed a Guangdong Bank check.

Not to mention, but now the whole Daming, Guangdong's banking industry is developing the fastest and most quickly.

This place is really a blessed place where capital originated.

"You're such a nice guy."

Chen Jing and Ren Xiaogui patted Chen Jiading on the shoulder, making the latter very happy.

"However, how much is the amount, how can I let you pay it, you will report the amount to me later, and I will send someone to return it to you when I return to Nanjing."

"How much is this worth? Don't worry about it."

Chen Jiading said at the right time: "Wait a while until the auction is all good stuff."

"auctions?"

"Of course the good things have to be the finale. Nothing new is sold in this hall now."

This moment hooked Chen Jinghe's heart: "When will the auction start?"

Chen Jiading turned his head and glanced at the instrument platform in the hall and said, "There is still about a quarter of an hour."

"Can't you hurry up?"

"It's all right." Chen Jiading stopped talking and said, "I'll ask."

Just because others can't advance the auction, doesn't mean Chen Jinghe can't.

Rules are made by man for man, and if someone says they want to be changed, they can be changed.

In the face of power and status, there are no rules that cannot be changed.

Chen Jiading handled this matter very smoothly, and it was done when he turned around and came back.

The master of ceremonies walked up to the stage on the north side of the hall, and said with a smile: "Everyone, there are noble people here today, and our auspicious time has also been advanced accordingly. Now I announce that our third Guangzhou International Trade Auction will begin."

Chen Jinghe pulled the corner of Chen Jiading's clothes on the stage: "Are we doing this for personal gain?"

"It doesn't count."

Chen Jiading waved his hands again and again to say a few perfunctory words, and while he was talking, a man with very bushy hair approached him and greeted him in half-baked Chinese.

"Chen, you are here too."

Chen Jiading took a look, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Pu Shun? When did you come to Guangzhou?"

"A few days ago, with my uncle's boat."

The two of them chatted enthusiastically and happily, but Chen Jinghe was confused over there.

How could this person have a face on top of a tuft of hair?
"This man is from Arabia. His name is Pu Shun. The Pu family has had contacts with our Central Plains dynasty for hundreds of years. After the restoration of Guangzhou's shipping department, he was also the first batch of people to come to Guangzhou to do business. The business has been done in recent years. It is particularly large, not only for trade, but now we see that after the establishment of the Bank of Guangdong, it also dabbled in the lending industry.”

The two of them were chatting, Pu Shun naturally noticed Chen Jing and the two of them, and curiously inquired about their identities, but of course Chen Jiading would not tell him, just said four words with a smile.

"Avoid the taboo of the venerable."

What does avoid the respect mean?
Pu Shun was not Chinese, so of course he couldn't figure it out, but he wanted to ask Chen Jinghe himself, but when the auction started, Chen Jinghe was so focused on the stage that he didn't have time to talk to him.

Because at this moment, an extremely exquisite object is displayed on the stage.

The chief of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The following item is provided by Tianfang Merchant, and its name is Pharaoh's Golden Scepter!"

"This scepter is made of fourteen catties of gold and inlaid with 28 gemstones. The most precious thing is that this scepter was completed 500 years ago!"

Everyone was attracted by the magnificence of the golden scepter on the stage. Although they may not dare to take it out to show off in the market after buying it, but if you play it at home, the government will never take care of it.

"The bidding starts now, reserve price."

"5000 taels!"

5000 taels is not a small sum, and more importantly, it is only the starting price.

Soon, the first round of crazy bids began to resound throughout the hall.

"6000 taels!"

"7000 taels!"

"Ten thousand! I will offer 1 taels!"

Chen Yaxi under the stands pulled Chen Jinghe secretly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you said that dad must be very angry when he finds out that we sneaked out this time, so let's buy this and give it to dad. Are you not angry anymore?"

Sure enough, the old saying is true, a daughter is father's little padded jacket, and at this moment, Chen Yaxi is the only one who can still think of Chen Yunfu as his father.

Chen Jinghe's eyes lit up, this is really a good idea.

But at this moment, the price of the scepter has soared to 3 taels in the crazy bidding, Chen Jinghe said with a bitter face: "We have no money."

"How about borrowing it from Uncle Hu?"

"How can he have so much money?"

The two were whispering, but Pu Shun, who was beside him, could easily hear him, and interjected, "You two want to buy this scepter, but you don't have enough money?"

Just as Chen Jiading was about to speak, he heard Chen Jinghe say: "That's right, why, do you have it?"

"Yes, and there are many, which can be borrowed from you, but hey, you need a mortgage or guarantee."

Here, Chen Jiading immediately spoke up: "Our Chen family in Guangzhou will make this guarantee. As much as this young master borrows, our Chen family will give you as much property as you want."

"No need." Chen Jinghe waved his hand, smiled at Pu Shun, took off a jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Pu Shun: "Look, how much money can I borrow on the credit of this jade pendant?"

Pu Shun took it with his hands, and the first thing he felt was that it was a good jade, but the best jade was only 800 taels, Pu Shun's eyes narrowed in the blink of an eye.

Wuzhong Hou Chen.

The little father in front of him is a Marquis of the Ming Dynasty?
Wu Zhonghou?This title is so familiar.

Chen, Chen Yunfu?
Chen Yunfu!
Pu Shun immediately thought of the power structure of the Ming Dynasty that he learned about when he first came to the Ming Dynasty after the resumption of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Department a few years ago.

That Chen Yunfu is the chief official who single-handedly promoted the resumption of Guangzhou's shipping department.

But now, he has already stood at the peak of the power of the Ming Dynasty.

I found the treasure myself.

Pu Shun is a businessman, although the turmoil in his heart has already set off, but he still controls his face and grinned.

"How much does the young master want to borrow?"

"I don't know." Chen Jinghe pointed to the golden scepter on the stage and said, "I will borrow as much as I can, but how much is the interest?"

"No interest."

"No interest?" Chen Jinghe immediately took the jade pendant away, and looked at Pu Shun cautiously: "You don't want interest, what do you want?"

Pu Shun chuckled: "Yes, no interest, not just interest, I don't even need you to pay back the principal, I just want food."

Chen Jinghe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

How is that different from asking for money?
The Ming Dynasty didn't have a lot of anything, but it really had a lot of food.

Discount chant.

"How much do you want."

"a grain of rice."

Chen Jinghe looked at Pu Shun as if he was looking at a psychopath: "One grain of rice is enough, you are hungry and crazy."

"It's one grain of rice on the first day." Pu Shun said, wracking his fingers, "Two grains of rice on the second day, and four grains on the third. Every day after that, it will be doubled until the end of the day. How about that?" .”

Chen Jinghe also began to count with his fingers.

"One grain of rice, two grains of rice, four grains of rice, eight grains of rice, sixteen grains of rice, it will take five days, fifty days, and you can't use up a bag of rice. Deal."

This made Chen Jiading next to him so angry that he almost couldn't bear it.

Good boy, you only count five days.

Taking advantage of Pu Shun's time to draw up the contract, Chen Jiading hurriedly grabbed Chen Jinghe, who was complacent, and said bitterly: "You are crazy, do you know how much it will cost in the next day?"

Chen Jinghe said complacently to Chen Yaxi at this time: "I met a fool today."

Chen Jiading was completely at a loss, seeing that Pu Shun came with the contract, the latter was still talking.

"Young master, if you don't pay back, who should I turn to?"

Chen Jinghe took out Chen Yunfu's private seal as soon as he stretched out his hand, and stamped it on the contract with a snap.

"Find him!"

Once the contract was completed, Pu Shun buried his eyebrows and eyes into his beard while looking at the private seal on the contract, while Chen Jinghe looked at the golden scepter on the stage, showing a smile that was far more fox-like than Pu Shun.

He raised his hand.

"100 taels!"

Pu Shun, who is complacent, can't hold his tongue.

People add a few thousand taels to a few thousand taels, how about you, just turn it up to 100 million?

You are really a peddler and don't feel sorry for Tian.

Well, once the private seal is stamped, Chen Jinghe is not just selling his father's land.

Chen Jiading rolled his eyes behind him.

The first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Yaxi sneaked a hand to Chen Jinghe at this time.

"Brother, I just counted to No. 16 days, that's a lot."

"What about later?"

"It can't be counted."

"That's right." Chen Jinghe peeked back and said with a ghostly smile, "You can't even count. I really want you to count the meters. You have to count until the year of the monkey."

Chen Yaxi's eyes widened immediately: "You mean you won't give it up? You just stamped your father's private seal just now, so how can you refuse to pay?"

"What are you talking about?" Chen Jinghe quickly covered Chen Yaxi's mouth: "Who said I'm going to renege on my debts? I'm going to renege on my debts. What will happen to my father's face? I didn't say no. , we will give them, one grain cannot be more, one grain cannot be less, we are a kingdom of heaven, faith is the foundation, of course we must be innocent."

The corner of Chen Yaxi's mouth twitched suddenly.

"Brother, you are a real thief."
