Chapter 144 Thank you, Mrs. Li, for your kindness
"Mother." Li Ruoshuang saluted the girl Hongfu and explained, "Mother, Zhao Chen has paid back the money he borrowed a few days ago, exactly."
"Oh?" Hongfu Nu smiled faintly, without any surprise.
"Zhao Chen, I know you made a lot of money this time, probably more than a hundred thousand yuan." Hong Fu Nu took a sip of tea and said to Zhao Chen calmly.
"I made some money, but without the support of Miss Ruoshuang and Lao Cheng and Xiao Qin, it would really be difficult for me to do it alone." Zhao Chen said, handing over his hand.
Behind them, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, with proud expressions on their faces.
They haven't gone home with the money yet.
But when they go back with the money later, they will definitely shock the old man at home.
Zhao Chen made money and did not forget to mention their names, which made Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu very happy.
"Zhao Chen, I really want to know, how did you know that there will be heavy rains in Chang'an City for such a long time?"
"Don't tell me that you are just guessing." Hongfu Nu looked at Zhao Chen carefully and said slowly.
Li Ruoshuang and others also looked at Zhao Chen.
Although they have been helping Zhao Chen.
But why did Zhao Chen know about the continuous rainstorm in Chang'an City? Zhao Chen could predict it.
We also stocked up so much food in advance.
"Today I got news from the Taishi Bureau that even Yuan Tiangang never predicted this continuous rainstorm."
"Zhao Chen, are you still proficient in deduction?" Hongfu Nu asked again, her eyes falling on Zhao Chen's face without moving at all.
As if to spy on Zhao Chen's secret.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other.
Yuan Tiangang was the most trusted Taoist by the emperor.
This person has never failed in any deduction technique.
It was just what Hong Fu Nu meant.
Even Yuan Tiangang didn't deduce this rain.
Does Zhao Chen know?
This is too...
For a moment, the two of them looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of awe.
"I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know how to deduce it. This heavy rain is purely coincidental."
"Miss Ruoshuang, it's getting late, I'll go back first." Zhao Chen smiled and said with Li Ruoshuang cupping hands.
After saying that, Zhao Chen stood up and prepared to leave.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu stood up and were about to leave.
"Wait." Hongfu Girl suddenly shouted.
Zhao Chen turned around and looked at Hong Fu Nu.
"Zhao Chen, do you know that although you made a lot of money, you also offended the five surnames and Qi Wang."
"Although the Zheng family in Xingyang is now walking on thin ice because of Zheng He's incident, the other families will not let you go easily." Hongfu Nu looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.
"Buy low, sell high, the way of a merchant. Why should they deal with me?" Zhao Chen smiled and looked at Hong Fu Nu.
"Mrs. Li, my brother is upright in his business. If Qi Wang dares to deal with Zhao Chen, I, Cheng Chumo, will be the first to refuse." Cheng Chumo said, patting his chest.
"Yes, I, Qin Huaiyu, will also protect Zhao Chen. How dare Qiwang, the fifth surname, attack us?" Qin Huaiyu also stood up and said.
"Haha, just you little brats?" Hongfu Nu laughed loudly and looked at the people in front of her with a face full of teasing.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu's faces flashed with anger.
When he was about to speak, he was stopped by Zhao Chen.
"Whatever Mrs. Li wants to say, just say it. There is no need to be so secretive." Zhao Chen stood there with his hands behind his back.
"Zhao Chen, I heard from my husband that he once wanted to take you in as his disciple. Is there any such thing?" The red-faced girl stared at Zhao Chen, as if she wanted to take you under his wing.
There was something on his face.
"What?"
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were both shocked and shouted.
Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty.
You actually wanted to take Zhao Chen under your wing?
Moreover, according to what Hongfunu meant, Zhao Chen seemed to have rejected Li Jing's invitation.
This...how is this possible?
"It's true." Zhao Chen nodded.
The two people behind him were even more frightened.
Li Jing really wants to accept Zhao Chen as his disciple!
"It's just that Zhao Chen has no intention of serving in the army. He will never be able to become a great leader in the future. Zhao Chen can only refuse General Li's kindness." Zhao Chen explained.
Cheng Chumo felt like he couldn't turn his head around.
Glancing at Qin Huaiyu, he found that Qin Huaiyu's face was twitching.
It is difficult to accept this reality as he is obviously the same as himself.
"Zhao Chen, I can make an exception for you. As long as you nod, you can still enter my husband's account." Hong Fu said.
"Zhao Chen, agree." Li Ruoshuang walked quickly to Zhao Chen and persuaded softly.
"Brother, this is a God-given opportunity, don't miss it."
"Zhao Chen, this is an opportunity that many people dream of. If you agree, no one in Chang'an City will dare to attack you." Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu quickly advised.
Li Jing actually invited Zhao Chen to join him again.
This has never been heard of.
If you refuse, then there really is something wrong with your brain.
Hongfu Nu looked at Zhao Chen with a faint smile on her face.
He had just told Zhao Chen that Qi Wang, the fifth surname, would not let him go easily.
In this way, Zhao Chen would not refuse to agree to him...
"Thank you, Mrs. Li, for your kind words. It's getting late. Let's say goodbye!" Zhao Chen bowed his hands and said no more.
, then turned around and walked out.
"Eh-" Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu didn't react for a moment and hurriedly chased after him.
Li Ruoshuang opened her mouth, her face full of confusion.
"Good boy——" Hongfu Nu's face immediately darkened.
…
"How's it going?" In the study, Li Jing put down the books in his hands, looked at Hongfu Nu, and said with a smile.
Hong Fu's face was full of annoyance, she sat down bitterly and scolded, "You little brat is arrogant, but you know you are in danger and you don't even think of a way out."
"If this girl didn't care about this person, how could I tell him this?"
"This Zhao Chen is definitely not an ordinary person. He will be fine."
"As for Ruoshuang, it's always good for young people to suffer some hardships." Li Jing smiled and handed over a cup of tea to Hong Fu Nu.
"You don't know how to feel sorry for your daughter. Just now, she chased her out again." Hong Fu said angrily.
"Hmm." Li Jing responded and continued to pick up the book without commenting on Hongfu Nu's words.
…
"Zhao Chen, why did you refuse Mrs. Li's invitation just now?"
"This is the second time. You have to know how many people in this world dream of becoming Li Jing's disciple."
"You refused, you really shouldn't have."
After leaving the Duke's mansion, Cheng Chumo spoke to Zhao Chen.
Qin Huaiyu next to him also shook his head, feeling that Zhao Chen should not refuse Li Jing's second invitation.
"I am a businessman, and I value exchange of equal value. Li Jing accepts me as his disciple, and I will repay you with equal value in the future."
"Owing someone's friendship is the most troublesome thing. I don't like it." Zhao Chen looked back at the Duke's Mansion behind him, then turned back and continued walking forward.
"Zhao Chen, if word gets out that you refused Li Jing's invitation to become a disciple twice in a row, do you know how many people will want to beat you to death?" Qin Huaiyu patted his face and sighed.
