Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 37: Close to the face and open up

After successfully taking over the Wenxianglai store, Su Chen arranged for Jin Yong to deliver the prepared soaps to the store for trial, and at the same time arranged for Su Wang to select personnel.

During this period, Jin Yong suggested that his group of friends become people who come to smell the fragrance and help Su Wang make soap.

However, this proposal was quickly rejected by Su Chen.

Most of Jin Yong's friends are bad guys or knights of Chang'an. Isn't it a waste of their talents to ask them to make soap?

"I have important uses for your friends!"

Jin Yong naturally had no objection as Su Chen attached so much importance to him and had already made arrangements for him.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed by in a hurry.

Upon hearing about this, Li Chengqian curiously sent someone to inquire about Su Chen's business. After learning that the soap samples created by Su Chen had received extremely high attention, he said no more.

Early that morning, Su Chen brought Jin Yong and others to Wenxianglai.

The decoration inside the store has not changed much, and even the name of Wen Xiang Lai has been retained.

Today is the day that Wen Xiang Lai reopens, so Su Chen naturally has to come and keep an eye on it, and by the way, see if Cen Wenzhao will make any big move after holding back for two days.

As the noisy sounds of gongs and drums faded away, Su Wang, who was appointed as the shopkeeper by Su Chen, greeted each customer with a smile on his face.

Whether it is customers who sincerely want to buy soaps and spices, or other shop owners who run this business.

Thanks to the connections that Boss Zhou had previously built up, the trial soap quickly attracted this group of customers and the scene was quite lively.

Apart from the customers who genuinely wanted to buy soaps and fragrances, the rest of the shopkeepers and clerks in each store were all asking about the soaps.

The unique soap in Chang'an City has become famous in the past two days.

If they can't find the source of the soap as soon as possible, their store will most likely be affected by it!
"It seems that Cen Wenzhao also knows his own weight and dares not to cause trouble for you, young master."

Jin Yong glanced at the many guests below and said with a smile, "According to this trend, the soaps made by you are really going to be popular in the Tang Dynasty."

Su Chen waved the folding fan in his hand and looked into the distance. A large group of people, at least a hundred people, were gathering here.

"coming!"

"what?"

Jin Yong looked over and saw that most of the people were dressed like scholars. He couldn't help but wonder, "Are these people the helpers that Cen Wenzhao has found? Why are there people from the Imperial College?"

Su Chen groaned, "Jin Yong, go down and take charge of the order. Don't let these people affect our business."

"it is good."

Jin Yong nodded and left.

Wang Xuance: "Sir, these people are here with ill intentions!"

Su Chen nodded. He originally thought that Cen Wenzhao would come to cause trouble at the opening ceremony, but he did not expect that a group of scholars would come, most of whom were students from the Imperial College.

Su Chen thought about it, but didn't know when he had ever negotiated with these people.

"Is Su Chen here?!"

The leader was tall and well-dressed, but his brow was full of anger.

As a descendant of Confucius, how can I tolerate others humiliating my ancestors? !
"Why did Kong Siye bring so many people here?"

Jin Yong bowed and walked forward to greet them.

The Kong family had been in office for three generations, and their good reputation spread far and wide.

now.

Kong Huiyuan came with so many scholars. Could it be that the young master had provoked the Imperial College again?

"This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Kong Huiyuan didn't even look at Jin Yong, "Go call Su Chen out, I have something to ask him!"

To him, Jin Yong was just a servant and was not worthy of talking to him.

Being looked down upon by Kong Huiyuan, Jin Yong did not dare to be negligent.

He is the grandson of Kong Jijiu and the descendant of Confucius. He is followed by so many scholars from the Imperial Academy. How dare he use force against him?

I was afraid that I would be sprayed to death by the scholars in Chang'an City the next day.

But Su Chen ordered him to come down and take charge of order, obviously wanting him to stop these people.

What should we do?

The customers in the store also realized that something was wrong at this moment, and either hurriedly bought their things and left, or walked aside to watch.

Especially the owners and employees of the major rouge and powder shops, who were watching this scene with curiosity and anticipation.

Seeing Jin Yong's hesitation, Kong Huiyuan snorted coldly, and when he was about to speak, a voice rang out.

"I never thought that my Wenxianglai would attract so many scholars' attention just after its opening. It's a cause for celebration."

Hearing Su Chen's voice, Jin Yong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Kong Huiyuan looked over and saw Su Chen walking towards him with a folding fan and a smile. He snorted coldly, "You are quite sharp-tongued."

They are coming with great force, and anyone who is not blind can see that.

Su Chen said that they were attracted to the store because of the fragrance, which naturally led to the topic of the items in the store. Su Chen pretended not to hear, "I wonder which soap Kong Siye likes? I can give it to him for free."

"Ridiculous! Who comes here for your soap?"

"Why humiliate Master Confucius?!"

"If you don't tell me the truth today, I will tear down your store!"

Before Kong Huiyuan could answer, the students from the Imperial College behind him began to question him one after another.

This left Su Chen confused.

"Please explain clearly."

"it is good!"

Kong Huiyuan sneered, "Let me ask you, the Duke of Zou who was a traitor for generations, the Kong of Qufu, was it you who said that?!"

"what?"

Su Chen was stunned.

This sounds somewhat familiar, but when he mentioned the Kong family to Li Chengqian before, it seemed that he was talking about Shixiu's surrender to the Yansheng Duke?
How come it became Duke of Zou as the name was passed down?
Is it because in the previous dynasty, the Kong family was given the title of Duke of Zou? ?
interesting.

Su Chen smiled, put away the folding fan, and tapped his palm, "No, no, no, I misunderstood."

"Not you?"

Kong Huiyuan and the people behind him were stunned.

Could it be.

Did they find the wrong person?

But Cen Wenzhao was talking about him!

Just when Kong Huiyuan was suspicious, Su Chen spoke quietly, "What I mean is that Shi Xiu surrendered to Yansheng Duke and he is the traitor of Qufu Kong for all eternity."

"...?"

"Yes, you are right, I am talking about your Kong family."

hiss!
Su Chen's close-range attack really shocked countless people present.

Especially the owners of rouge and powder shops, their eyes were shining with excitement.

OK OK.

Fight, fight!
"presumptuous!"

"Crazy man!"

"How dare you humiliate Confucius?!"

After a brief silence, the scholars present were filled with indignation.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, personal teacher.

When they were enlightened, the first person they worshipped was Confucius.

Now, Su Chen actually dared to humiliate the saints so unscrupulously, and simply did not take the Kong family and countless scholars seriously!
"humiliation?"

Su Chen shook his head and did not feel humiliated by this matter.

The reputation of the Kong family is not only about their loyalty to the emperor and their loyalty to the emperor, but also about their iron will!
When Puyi established Manchukuo, the Kong family sent thirteen congratulatory telegrams in a row.

Is this something a normal person can do?

But the Kong family did it!

"Sorry, I'm just telling the truth!"

Su Chen smiled calmly, "Good advice is unpleasant to the ear, and good medicine tastes bitter. If Kong Siye feels that he has humiliated your Kong family..."

"Then I am humiliated, so what?"

"You are presumptuous!"

For an instant.

Hundreds of scholars were furious.

This boy is so bold. Now that we are confronting each other face to face, he still dares to speak so wildly?

We must teach him a good lesson!

The scholars rolled up their sleeves and were ready to give Su Chen a loving education.

"Do you want to take action?"

Su Chen laughed dumbly, and pointed at the people opposite him with his folding fan, "Excuse me, but I can beat ten scholars like you!"

"I wonder how many of the six arts of a gentleman taught by Confucius are left?"

"A few words made you so furious. Is this what you call the teachings of Confucius? In my opinion, you are nothing but parasites who rely on the influence of your ancestors to harm others!"
