Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her
Chapter 138 Young Master of the Chen Family
After all, ever since the accident with Landlord Huang, Chen Xu took the opportunity to buy the land under Huang Shiren's name and became the new landlord in the county.
Originally, the tenant farmers thought that their lives would be better after changing their masters, but the Chen family's practices were even worse than Huang Shiren's, and they still lived in dire straits.
The Chen family took over the Huang family's land, became more powerful, and acted more and more arrogantly.
The young master of the Chen family who is in the bookstore today is the most beloved youngest son of the landlord Chen.
You know, Landlord Chen is sixty years old, and he can still make a woman pregnant and give birth to a child, which makes him very proud and satisfies his vanity as a man.
Therefore, Young Master Chen was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. No matter what he wanted, his family would find a way for him. This led to his lawless character.
But even though he was favored by the landlord Chen, he would never be refused anything he wanted to do at home.
There is only one thing that Young Master Chen has to do even if he doesn't want to, and that is studying.
Landlord Chen knew clearly that if he wanted the Chen family to move forward, he needed someone to study and take the imperial examination.
The eldest son is not good at studying and he is already forty years old. He cannot be relied upon for further studies, so the only option is for him to take over and inherit the family business.
Before his youngest son was born, Landlord Chen had already given up on letting his son study for the imperial examinations.
But with Chen Bao, Landlord Chen's heart became active again.
As soon as Chen Bao could walk, someone was invited to his home to teach him to read and write.
But Chen Bao had been spoiled since childhood and was at the age where he loved to play. He could not sit still and annoyed five teachers.
At the beginning, Landlord Chen put all the blame on the teacher, saying that the teacher was incompetent. His son was smart and clever, but the teacher couldn't even help his son learn hundreds of poems.
Later I found out that it was because the teacher was not good enough and my son did not study hard and just played all day.
Chen Bao is exactly nine years old this year. Thinking that he cannot learn well at home, he is sent to college.
There are so many children in the college. When my son goes to the college, he will definitely fall in love with studying. In a few years, he will pass the examination to become a student, and then a scholar, a juren, a zhuangyuan, and become a high-ranking official.
So Landlord Chen dreamed of his son becoming an official, while sending his younger son, who was reluctant to study, to Chongwen Academy.
It seems that Chen Bao is not a good student. When he arrived at the college, he either bullied his classmates or played tricks on his teachers. Every day, Chen Bao's class was filled with chaos and there was no learning atmosphere at all.
However, Chen Bao's teacher, out of fear of the Chen family's power, turned a blind eye to Chen Bao's actions. Not only did he not punish him, he also found ways to praise Chen Bao, causing Chen Bao to become more and more excessive.
Ming Yu just said, "I have finished learning the Three Character Classic. Just buy a copy for my brother."
When Chen Bao heard this, he thought Mingyu was mocking him for not even learning the Three Character Classic.
He immediately became angry and started arguing with Mingyu and the other two.
He scolded the three of them as peasants, saying they were not worthy of coming to the bookstore, polluting the air around him, and that each of them smelled of poverty.
Minghao couldn't stand being scolded and he just retorted back.
Although Chen Bao was young, he had a good father. No matter where he went, there were people trying to please him. Whenever he was scolded by someone and couldn't get angry, he would ask his servant Awang to beat them up.
When Li Mengyue arrived, she saw her three younger brothers being beaten, and she attacked them in a rage.
However, when she saw the collapsed bookshelves and books in the bookstore, Li Mengyue did not regret it.
Seeing the bruised and battered faces of my three younger brothers, I felt that the beating was not light.
"Ah! You want to die, don't you? How can I explain to the shopkeeper after you messed up the store like this?"
When the book boy in the bookstore heard the noise, he ran over immediately, but when he saw the young master of the Chen family, he wanted to teach a few peasants a lesson, so he didn't say anything to stop him.
What he didn't expect was that a few country kids could cause such a big trouble in the store.
The bookshelf collapsed and the books fell down, which was not a big deal. What made him most upset was that a precious painting in the store was ruined and smeared with ink. What should he do?
When the shopkeeper comes back, he won’t be able to keep his job, and he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t have to pay money.
But he only earned two hundred coins a month, so he had no money to pay the compensation.
Li Mengyue ignored the servant's anger and prepared to take her three younger brothers to Tongxin Hall to check their injuries, just to make sure they didn't break any bones.
"Hey, how can you leave without paying the price?"
The servant in the bookstore stopped Li Mengyue and yelled at her to pay compensation.
"It wasn't me who knocked over the bookshelf. What does it have to do with me? If you want someone to pay you back, you should ask someone else. It's ridiculous."
Li Mengyue pushed the book boy aside and left with her three younger brothers, no longer wanting to buy the books she had chosen.
Chen Bao watched people walk out the door. He was extremely envious of the three little peasants who had such a beautiful sister. Not only did the beautiful sister not scold them, but she also vented their anger for them.
He has only one elder brother who is more than thirty years older than him, and his brother's son is already married.
Although he was spoiled since childhood, he never experienced the love of his brothers or the care of his sister.
Therefore, when Li Mengyue took her three younger brothers out, Chen Bao remained silent. The servant named Awang covered his chest and said cautiously, "Master, should we go back and call for help?"
Chen Bao reacted and said proudly: "Call someone, who do you want to call? I can't beat you, so I'll just call the parents."
Awang wanted to say yes, but when he saw his young master's ugly face, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and nodded and said, "Yes, young master is right."
Chen Bao glanced at the bookshop boy and said impatiently, "Calculate the losses and see if these are enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ripped off the purse from his waist and threw it at the bookshop's servant.
The bookshop servant opened the purse and saw five thousand tael silver notes. He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's enough. I guess there's still a lot left."
"That's enough."
Chen Bao didn't want to stay here any longer, so he took Awang away.
"Master, there is no use for thousands of taels of silver."
"Make a detailed record of the store's losses, deduct what should be deducted, and send the excess to Chen's residence."
The bookshop's servant was calculating how much money he had lost. If it was only three thousand taels, then the remaining two thousand taels would be in his hands.
But when he was feeling complacent, he heard what the young master of the Chen family said, and immediately suppressed his greedy thoughts.
What a joke. He is not tired of living, so how dare he provoke the young master of the Chen family.
Chen Bao and Awang were walking on the street bored, while Li Mengyue had already taken her three younger brothers to Tongxin Hall.
"Miss Li, your brother's injuries are just superficial. Just apply some ointment for bruises and injuries."
Li Mengyue certainly knew that her three younger brothers were not seriously injured, otherwise it would not be as simple as just kicking them in the bookstore.
She brought her brothers to the clinic because she wanted to let them know that they should not ignore their own safety and force themselves to show off their abilities just to show off their eloquence.
This time she was there, if she hadn't followed, it would be hard to know what would have happened in the end.
But this also reminded her.
