Chen Baihu lives in a house near Qianhuhou, which is much more grand than the Zhang family.

He is rich and has a group of idle men at home, especially when he tries his best to climb up with the eunuchs in the palace, and his status has increased. Although he is only one hundred households now, Chen Baihu knows very well that sooner or later he will replace Liu Qianhu and become the Qianhu of the Thousand Houses of Dongcheng.

We are about to celebrate our birthday tomorrow, so the Chen family has begun to be busy, with lights and decorations everywhere.

The concierge received a strange call from the doorman, but it was still rushed to Chen Huang, a hundred households.

When Chen Huang saw the greeting letter, he looked disdainful: "Is it the son of Zhang Qianhu?"

He deliberately bit the adverb very heavily.

Then, he raised his eyes inadvertently and said lightly: "A few days ago, he took his righteous brother to establish his authority. Why is he still not convinced? Could it be that he thought he had made a contribution and would be arrogant?"

The concierge said, "Why don't you drive this person away?"

"After all, it's a hundred households in the guards. What should I do if I drive them away?" Chen Huang said: "Please come in."

After a while, Zhang Jing walked in.

Chen Huang looked at him coldly, looking alert.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and bowed, "Chen Baihu, I have been acquainted with you for a long time. I'm here to pay my respects today."

Chen Huang said with a slight smile: "It turns out it's Zhang Baihu, your name is also very well-known. Why, how about you on duty in the palace?"

His words meant to be ridiculous. To be honest, no one treated Zhang Jingyi as a householder after becoming a general of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Jingyi coughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then he said, "A few days ago, my righteous brother ran into Chen Baihu. Please don't mind Chen Baihu."

Chen Huang then felt a little relieved. It turned out that this guy was here to apologize.

It seems that after he dealt with his righteous brother, the kid was panicked.

Chen Huang waved his hand and looked generous: "I have a lot of it, and I have forgotten about this."

Zhang Jing thought to himself, you forgot, but I didn’t, so she smiled even more attentively: “I heard that Chen Baihu will celebrate her birthday tomorrow, so the younger generation specially sent a birthday gift, and asked Chen Baihu to not bother."

While speaking, I had already taken out the golden Buddha I brought to my home.

The golden Buddha is not light in weight, and after careful crafting, it is revealed and suddenly even the hall is lit up.

Chen Huang suddenly shone with his eyes. He stood up and walked to Zhang Jingyi, took the Golden Buddha, and just weighed it, he realized that it was solid.

This is probably a few dozen taels. If converted into silver, it is probably more than three hundred taels of silver.

This is a huge fortune. Even Chen Huang couldn't help but feel moved. He said insincerely: "I'm afraid this gift is too heavy."

"Where do you think?" Zhang Jing said sincerely: "If Chen Baihu likes it, it would be better."

Chen Huang was already smiling all over his face, looking at Zhang Jingyi up and down, and couldn't help but think that I had heard that this boy from the Zhang family was shameless. When I saw him today, it was indeed the case. I thought that his righteous brother offended me, so he was afraid, so he came to please me.

His righteous brother is not as clever as he is.

But... I gave this gift as soon as I made a move. Could it be that this person wanted to use me to curry favor with my grandfather?

Chen Huang had countless thoughts in his mind, but then he said, "Come on, serve tea for Zhang Baihu. Come on, I am very close to Zhang Baihu and have a lot to say."

In a moment, someone came to tea.

Zhang Jingyi held the teacup, took a sip of the tea, smacked her lips, and smiled and said, "Tomorrow, Chen Baihu's birthday needs to be lively. I think all the brothers in the Guard will come to support him."

Seeing that he was full of flattery, Chen Huang smiled and said, "But he only invited seventy or eighty people who were good to him on weekdays. The brothers in the guards invited not many, but some neighbors came more."

When Zhang Jing heard this, he knew it.

Chen Huang took the route in the palace and had no harmonious relationship with many people in the guards. However, this person was very greedy and had finally lived a birthday, so of course he could not miss it. The so-called neighbors he called were probably some merchants who wanted to exploit them in the name of their birthday.

Zhang Jing lowered her head and drank a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "Actually, when it comes to birthday celebrations, I remembered that a custom mentioned in the book said that in a certain place, an official celebrates his birthday and receives birthday gifts. The visitor must first send the birthday gifts, and then the host invites some men to come in front of the door, and according to the magnitude of the gifts of the gifts, he will try his best to shout for him. Not only that, he also placed various birthday gifts on the most conspicuous high hall and placed them there, so that all those who worship birthdays can see them. In this way, those who have few gifts will inevitably be ashamed. Seeing that they have given so much, they can only give them a little, and they can't take it."|

When Chen Huang heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Hey, what's the rule?"

Zhang Jingyi coughed and said, "It's just that from the book, many details have been forgotten."

Chen Huang was excited, as if he had suddenly become enlightened, and couldn't help but say, "The people who have read books are different, and they really know everything."

Chen Huang's heart was already active. He just found a name to get some money and frugality. After finally having a chance, how could he miss it?

However, he was also worried that the guests would not be willing to pay, but if they did it according to this custom, it would be different.

Chen Huang's eyes fell on Zhang Jingyi's golden Buddha, and he was a little restless. Fortunately, Zhang Jingyi took a few sips of tea and stood up: "It's getting late. I'll come to pay my birthday tomorrow morning. Chen Baihu will have a break soon. You are the protagonist tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." Chen Huang stood up quickly, and at this moment he seemed to have some confidence.

…………

Midnight.

Liu Wen, a thousand households in Dongcheng, visited the imperial prison. In the past few days, several important imperial prisoners needed to give a confession. After working hard for a day, Liu Wen did not return home, but went to the Qianhu Office.

Just now I took my seat and was still thinking about the current imperial case.

At this time, a civil servant tiptoed over. Under the candlelight, the old official's face shone dimly and said, "Today, I learned a piece of news from the Qianhu Institute. I don't know if the student wants to report it."

Liu Wen held the teacup and drank a sip of tea. His face was full of fatigue and said with a wry smile: "What's the matter that can't be said?"

"It's about the young master of the Zhang family."

"Zhang Family?" Liu Wen cheered up. He had a good impression of Zhang Jingyi. He couldn't help but curse: "This kid, you don't have a good job in the Beizhen Fushi and Nanzhen Fushi. He insisted on becoming a general of the Han Dynasty. He was really a bastard. He was pitiful to his father. He finally had a chance, but he missed it for nothing. Why, did this boy named Zhang enter the palace and his life is not easy, so he wanted to ask me to transfer him out? This matter...is not impossible. After all, he is his own person and cannot be wronged. It is normal for a young man to be confused and make mistakes. I think of a solution."

"No." The clerk was so unspeakable that he had been accused of a long time. "I found out that the boy from the Zhang family ran to visit Chen Baihu two hours ago."

"Which Chen Baihu?" Liu Wen had a little smile just now, but in a blink of an eye, his face became awkward: "Chen Huang?"

"That's right." The clerk said worriedly: "Not only that, I heard that this kid... also gave him a generous gift. Chen Huang was very happy and finally sent him out of the door in person."

There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone the Jinyiwei!

Liu Wen suddenly became nervous. He stood up and began to pace back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Although Chen Huang is a subordinate of Liu Wen, because this person is Wei Zhongxian's great-grandson, he has never taken Liu Wen seriously.

For Liu Wen, Chen Huang was a thorn in his eyes. If he hadn't been afraid of the palace, Chen Huang would have abandoned this person.

These days, Chen Huang has become more and more rude and arrogant, and he has not taken Liu Wen, the Qianhu family seriously. Otherwise, Wang Cheng would be the adopted son of Zhang Tianlun, the deputy Qianhu family, and he would dare to ravage him at will?

This is true for the deputy thousand households. Will you be very afraid of the thousand households?

But... I never thought that Zhang Jingyi, that bastard, actually went to curry favor with Chen Huang.

Liu Wen's face was ashen and terrible.

After a long time, he stopped, stood firm, glared at the clerk, gritted his teeth and said, "Which side of Zhang Jingyi, that dog guy?"

The clerk obviously knew the filth between Liu Qianhu and Chen Huang, so he lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.
