Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

"Haha, yes, I am the Lord Zhang you mentioned." The man in white smiled faintly after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Plop!

Jiang Chen knelt on one knee in front of Lord Zhang.

"I pay my respects to Master Zhang!"

"Well, there's no need to perform formalities. Just give me the formula for the honeycomb charcoal."

Lord Zhang said calmly.

"This this……"

Jiang Chen's scalp tingled.

Why doesn't this damn eunuch play by the rules?

You must have his honeycomb charcoal formula, right?

"What? You don't want to give it?" Lord Zhang's tone turned a little colder when he saw Jiang Chen hesitating.

"No no no!"

Jiang Chen was frightened by the other party's cold voice and his back went cold. He quickly said, "Since Lord Zhang wants it, I dare not refuse."

"But... after I give the formula of honeycomb charcoal to Lord Zhang, I hope Lord Zhang can spare my life!"

"Hmm? Spare your life?"

There was a hint of doubt in Mr. Zhang's tone.

"When did I say I wanted to kill you?"

"This...thank you, Master Zhang!"

Jiang Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as the other party didn't kill him!

He hurriedly took out the prepared honeycomb charcoal formula and handed it to Mr. Zhang.

However, he replaced the coal powder in the ingredients with charcoal powder.

When Master Zhang saw Jiang Chen's recipe, his smile deepened: "Interesting!"

"I never thought that combining charcoal with soil would make the charcoal more durable!"

"You are really smart!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I discovered it by accident!" Jiang Chen said hurriedly.

At this time, Jiang Chen felt a little more relaxed.

Lord Zhang, you shouldn't kill him, right?

"Haha, you discovered something by accident, but it changed the situation in the whole world. You are not an ordinary person!" Lord Zhang suddenly smiled.

……

"This……"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Boy, those longevity peaches and tigers are said to be made by you, is that true?" Lord Zhang asked again.

"Your Excellency, it was... a commoner who did it." Jiang Chen said truthfully.

He had no idea what this damn eunuch was going to do at this moment, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly.

"Well, not bad, not bad, he is a talented person."

"It's just... what a pity! You're about to die!" Lord Zhang sighed.

"die……!?"

Jiang Chen was so frightened that he was shaking!

This damn eunuch is not going to go back on his word, is he?

"Sir, you... didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?"

"me……"

"Haha, I won't kill you, but do you know how many people's interests will be affected by this honeycomb charcoal?"

"I'm afraid that once this matter gets out, you won't be able to leave the capital alive!" Lord Zhang laughed coldly.

"Sir, I...I am willing to offer this honeycomb charcoal to you, just ask you to save my life!" Jiang Chen said gritting his teeth.

When Mr. Zhang heard what Jiang Chen said, he nodded with satisfaction.

"You are a sensible person, but truth will come out sooner or later. Others will find out through clues that you know the formula of honeycomb charcoal. They will definitely catch you and torture you to find out the formula of honeycomb charcoal."

"If you can't bear it and tell it out, then my recipe is useless, right?"

"In that case, you will die sooner or later, and there is a possibility that you will leak the formula. Should I kill you?"

"This way... I can master the recipe!"

As Mr. Zhang spoke, he looked thoughtful.

Jiang Chen was covered in cold sweat at this moment.

My back is already soaked!

……

What on earth is this damn eunuch going to do! ?

Are you teasing him on purpose?

Sometimes he kills, sometimes he doesn’t!

This... is to force him to use his trump card!

Just as Jiang Chen was secretly gritting his teeth, Lord Zhang spoke again.

He sighed and said, "Alas, you are such a talented person and young, I really don't want to kill you, but you are not my confidant, I..."

"boom!"

Before Mr. Zhang could finish his words, a muffled sound was heard, interrupting Mr. Zhang's words!

Lord Zhang looked at him in confusion, only to see Jiang Chen actually kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to him!

"you……?"

"If I don't give up, I'd like to be my adoptive father!"

Just when Lord Zhang was puzzled, Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice!

But his words made Lord Zhang stunned!

"You...you want to worship me as your godfather?"

"Not bad!"

Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at Lord Zhang with a determined face; "Sir, I have heard of Lord Zhang's reputation and I admire him very much!"

"But I lost both my parents when I was young, and I have no brothers or sisters!"

"If you don't mind, I am willing to take care of you in your old age!"

"This honeycomb charcoal recipe is a small token of my gratitude to my foster father!"

"Please accept it, foster father!"

Jiang Chen said this and kowtowed once more.

This was one of the trump cards Jiang Chen had thought of a long time ago!

He saw that eunuchs in ancient times seemed to like to adopt godsons.

If he really can't do it, he can turn to his godfather!

If this trick doesn’t work, then... there’s still the stuff in my pocket!

But at this time, Lord Zhang was stunned.

He called Jiang Chen here today because he was curious about honeycomb charcoal.

The second is to give Jiang Chen a warning.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Chen would recognize him as his adoptive father...

……

Jiang Chen is also a talented person, and with this honeycomb charcoal...

"Okay! Since you are so sincere, I will accept you as my adopted son!"

"From now on, the production of this honeycomb charcoal will be handed over to you!"

"But the relationship between you and me cannot be known to the outside world for the time being, understand?"

"Thank you, foster father!"

Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Lord Zhang said!

Unexpectedly, the trick of asking for a godfather is so useful!

Kuang Biaocheng won’t cheat me!

"Well, get up."

Lord Zhang said calmly.

When Jiang Chen heard what Lord Zhang said, he stood up quickly.

At this time, Lord Zhang looked at Jiang Chen carefully, although he knew that Jiang Chen was just the village chief of a mountain village.

But this looks very special!

It seems that this godson is quite good!

"Jiang Chen, I have twelve adopted sons and one adopted daughter. From now on, you will be my thirteenth adopted son."

"However, you should also know that I, your foster father, have many enemies in the court. It would be disadvantageous to you to directly announce our relationship."

"So, you should wait until you have done a good job in this honeycomb charcoal business. It won't be too late to announce it then!"

"Thank you, foster father, for considering me! I will work hard!" Jiang Chen respectfully clasped his fists and bowed to Lord Zhang!

"Well, not bad, he's a sensible one!"

Mr. Zhang nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Jiang Chen, this honeycomb charcoal business is now handed over to you. Xue Wenyan will be responsible for cooperating with you. I will also say hello to your Luzhou County. I hope... you will not let me down!"

"I will never let my adoptive father down!" Jiang Chen said respectfully.

"good very good!"

"I hope I didn't make a mistake in adopting you as my adopted son!"

Lord Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then discussed the specific matters of honeycomb charcoal with Jiang Chen.
