Chapter 174 Chen Ping Visits Feng Mansion
The fight between Cao Shen and Ying Yuan was naturally a joke.
But when the "three heroes" under Ying Yuan walked out of the Prince Qin's mansion, they all heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Gentlemen, why do I feel like these days are like a dream?"
Cao Shen gently patted the shoe prints on his butt and said something with emotion.
But he didn't point at the two of them when answering this.
"Half a month ago, Cao was still a minor official in a remote place like Pei County."
"At that time, Cao's greatest dream was to enter the imperial court, and that would make his life worthwhile!"
"But now, I suddenly look back and find that Cao has become one of the Nine Ministers and can even play around with the Prince of Qin who is the Regent."
"Thinking of this, Cao really feels like a dream!"
Chen Ping and Xiao He were both smart men, so they knew that these words were actually Cao Shen's true feelings.
For Cao Shen, in a short period of time, he was promoted to a position that he had never dared to imagine before.
This is both a great blessing and a pressure.
Why did he try his best to show off in front of Ying Yuan?
On the one hand, it is certainly the duty of a subject.
But on the other hand, it is more to make up for the anxiety in my heart.
The uneasiness brought about by facing all kinds of psychedelic realities made him want to show his value in front of Ying Yuan as soon as possible.
Because his subconscious deep down is telling him that if he cannot demonstrate his own value, then everything he has now will disappear.
If you haven't got all of this, then this feeling may not be a big deal.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
It's so cool to suddenly have both fame and wealth, hold power and be high and mighty.
Precisely because it feels so good, I’m worried that this good time won’t last long!
Xiao He patted Cao Shen's shoulder gently and said teasingly with a faint smile.
"Why do you think so much?"
"Now that the young master has great trust in you, shouldn't you just work harder to live up to his trust?"
"As long as you can become the young master's right-hand man soon, why should you worry about such a small matter?"
For Xiao He, Cao Shen was not only his younger brother, but also his helper and fellow villager.
They are born to be close, so who else would he help if not Cao Shen?
In fact, Cao Shen knew in his heart what he should do. All he needed was Xiao He's support.
Say no to anything!
But, having such support is very important!
"Okay! Now that you've figured it out, let's get going!"
"The young master has laid out his plan for the world in the dark. As his minions, we naturally have to join in and fight for him!"
Chen Ping's personality makes him naturally suited to pouring cold water on others.
Look, those two brothers over there are being very affectionate with each other.
Chen Ping poured a bucket of cold water on him, and then, with the help of his servants, he got on the carriage without hesitation and left.
The two brothers from Pei County were left alone, looking at each other awkwardly.
However, both of them had some ideas in their minds at this time.
Gongzi Yuan has been planning for so long, it's time to show his power.
"Master, Master, there is a blind man at the door, holding Master Yuan's token and asking for an audience!"
The Feng family's housekeeper came to the main hall of the Feng family, panting and trotting in a rather embarrassed manner, and reported in a hurry.
He has no choice.
He originally thought that he was a blind man and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
After all, where is the Feng Mansion?
That is the leader of the noble families, and also the residence of the former prime minister and current chief censor.
How could this be a place where anyone could commit fraud? However, no matter how arrogant the butler was, he became timid when faced with the token raised silently by the blind man.
Even simply using the word "cowardly" to describe it may not be appropriate; it should be said that he was terrified.
Master Yuan!
Gongzi Yuan has been the regent for some time now. Who doesn’t know Gongzi Yuan’s methods?
Especially the Feng family, they were deeply touched.
After all, Feng Quji was originally serving as his left prime minister.
As a result, as soon as Gongzi Yuan moved slightly, he was pulled all the way down and returned home in a white body.
Isn't this blow big enough?
Feng Quji and his son Feng Jie were originally chatting, but when they heard the housekeeper's report, they were stunned for a moment.
"blind?"
"Yes, what he is holding in his hand is the standard token of the young master of the Great Qin. There is also the word "Yuan" on it. I am sure you are not mistaken!"
"Young Master Yuan?"
When Gongzi Yuan was mentioned, Feng Jie's expression changed immediately.
The first question that came to his mind was.
What is Gongzi Yuan going to do?
What the father and son were just talking about was what happened in the salt shop.
As a result, the matter hasn't even been discussed to a conclusion, and Gongzi Yuan's people have already shown up?
When Feng Jie thought of Gongzi Yuan's past methods, his scalp went numb and he even broke out in cold sweat on his forehead!
"What are you panicking about? You're welcome!"
At the critical moment, it still depends on Feng Quji!
Look, just one simple sentence, decisive and decisive, which at the same time gave instructions to the butler and awakened Feng Jie.
In Feng Quji's opinion, it is true that his son is extremely intelligent and wise.
But after all, I have not experienced much of the ups and downs in the court, so I still need to practice the skill of nourishing my energy!
Even if the salt shop incident becomes a fuss, so what?
Although his Feng family is not the most prestigious one, it is not a small one either.
If it really comes to a point where both sides are desperate, he can just sacrifice his old face and ask His Majesty for help.
Your Majesty, I guess you don’t want to worry about the whole court and the whole city of Xianyang!
"Yes, sir!"
The butler was rebuked, but instead ran out again with satisfaction.
For someone like the housekeeper, his interests have long been entangled with those of the Feng family.
Now seeing the "evil guest" coming to his door, he was certainly nervous;
But since the old master Feng Quji was not in a hurry, he naturally felt more confident.
Watching the butler leave, Feng Jie finally couldn't help but ask.
"Father, I've never heard that Young Master Yuan has a blind man under his command!"
"The person who can travel with the Great Qin Prince's token must be someone close to him!"
"Any news about my father?"
"Is father okay with his condition?"
After hearing this, Feng Quji thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"As a father, I only know that this person is definitely not a member of the imperial court!"
"As for the rest, we will just deal with it as it comes."
"Mr. Yuan certainly has some means and relies on the general situation, but this does not mean that the people under his command are also powerful."
"Jie'er, just be at ease and deal with it. Your father has high hopes for you!"
It's no wonder that after hearing Feng Quji's suggestion, Feng Jie actually gained a little more composure.
Yes, he is the head of the Feng family, a noble family. What is there to be afraid of?
