The Chen Manor was located in Great Peace City's Qing Ning Street. Most of the wealthy people of Great Peace City lived on this street.
After Chen Beijiang was promoted to a thousand households, he had relied on his connections to buy this house for free.
The entire residence occupied an area of more than 3,000 square meters, with its own backyard and lake.
Although the position of a thousand-household in the Northern Military Region did not have much salary, it had real power. All the civil and military officials had to smile when they saw it.
Moreover, this was also something that the Emperor had tacitly agreed to.
If his subordinates didn't have any evidence against him, the Emperor wouldn't dare to put him in an important position.
This was because such a person had great ambitions. If he held a high position, it would inevitably become a hindrance to his absolute power.
After all, the North Town Secretary had the responsibility of supervising the officials, and the North Town Secretary also listened directly to the current emperor. It was separated from the court and was not controlled by the officials.
Chen Beijiang understood this, so he deliberately bought this house so that he could be held in the hands of the Emperor.
As long as he was loyal to the Emperor, the Emperor would not touch him even if he took advantage of his position.
"Su Ming, you're here. Come in and have a seat.”
Su Ming had just walked into Chen Manor with bags of things in his arms when Aunt Xue rushed out to welcome him.
"Aunt Shea."
Su Ming passed everything to the servants and greeted them with a smile.
"Su Ming, you haven't come to eat in a long time. Could it be that the food in Aunt Xue's restaurant doesn't suit your taste?”
Aunt Xue held Su Ming's hand and walked into the living room.
Only Chen Haoran, who was following behind Su Ming, was left with a blank look on his face.
"How can that be? I crave the braised lion's head that Aunt Xue made.”Su Ming smiled.
"Aunt Shea specially made braised lion's head for you today. You'll have to eat two more pieces later.”Aunt Xue beckoned Su Ming to take a seat.
Chen Yuxuan had already sat down. She was dressed in green, and her entire aura was like a lotus bud in a lotus pond, quiet and elegant.
Her pretty face still looked a little immature. After all, she was only fifteen years old.
It could be foreseen that in the future, when this green lotus bloomed, how stunning it would be.
Her pretty face was wearing makeup that did not match her age, making her look a little funny.
When she saw Su Ming enter, she turned her head away with a sullen expression.
"Uh, are you angry that I slept with a courtesan?”
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up.
At this time, Chen Beijiang also came out with a jar of aged wine.
"You're here. Sit down."
"There are no outsiders at home today. You have to drink with me," said Chen Beijiang with a smile.”
"Okay, Uncle Chen." Su Ming smiled.
Su Ming looked at the distribution of seats. He did not know if it was intentional or not, but his seat just so happened to be beside Chen Yu Xuan.
When she saw Su Ming sit down beside her, Chen Yu Xuan quickly shifted her seat and tried to stay as far away from him as possible.
Chen Beijiang and Wang Xue looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile.
When Chen Beijiang had told Su Ming that he would be coming over for dinner, Chen Yuxuan had clearly been the most excited one.
Now that Su Ming had really come, she was the person who did not want to bother with him the most.
"Yuxuan, hurry up and call for help." Aunt Xue said in a strange tone.
"What are you shouting for? I don't want to talk to a stinky man who walks around the Education Department.”
Chen Yuxuan said angrily.
When Su Ming heard that, he could not help but look at Chen Beijiang. Both of them looked slightly embarrassed.
I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air
"Cough, cough, cough. Yuxuan, Ming 'er is now a Jinyiwei. It's inevitable that he will have to socialize in various aspects. He must build a good relationship with his colleagues."
"Otherwise, if he is isolated, it will be difficult for him to carry out his work in the future," said Chen Beijiang.”
"Hmph, Father, don't even think about lying to me. He has already been promoted to the position of a Thousand Households. How many people want to curry favor with him?”Chen Yuxuan said.
"Didn't Su Ming not become a Thousand Households before he slept with the Courtesan Belle?”
"Besides, don't you want to ask Su Ming what he did for His Majesty to make an exception and promote him to Thousand Households?”
"I don't want to know." Chen Yuxuan said.
Chen Beijiang was speechless.
"Hehe, Su Ming, don't mind her. You know Yu Xuan's personality. Ignore her. The dishes are all served.”
Chen Beijiang opened the lid and poured the wine into the flagon.
"Honestly speaking, this pot of wine is already as old as you.”Chen Beijiang sighed.
"Uncle Chen, let me do it."
Su Ming took the wine jug and poured a cup for each of them.
"How do you feel on the first day of your promotion?”Chen Beijiang drank the wine in his cup and asked with a smile.
"It's alright." Su Ming filled his glass again.
"Now that you've been promoted to the position of a thousand households, the previous house seems small. The house next to mine is for sale.”Chen Beijiang suggested.
"Uncle Chen, I've just been promoted to the position of a thousand households. How can I have money?”
Su Ming laughed bitterly.
Although they had plundered all of Li You Zang's thirty thousand silver, he only had six thousand silver.
Such a house would cost at least ten thousand taels of silver, and it might not even be possible to buy it.
Because if he wanted to live on Qingning Street, money was not important, but the position of his feet was.
Take Sun Yin's family as an example. His family's businesses spread all over the nine provinces of Dafeng. His family was considered rich, right?
He still couldn't live on this street.
"Six thousand taels is enough."
"You haven't figured out the importance of your position yet," said Chen Beijiang with a smile.”
"Many people are still thinking about how to curry favor with you. If you don't believe me, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can go to the Ministry of Revenue and say that you want to buy the house next door to mine. They will set the price to the extent that you can afford it!”
Su Ming was speechless.
So it could be done like this?
Su Ming shook his head in his heart.
However, it was too boring to live alone in such a big house.
If I can 'invite' all of the Four Great Courtesan Belles of Tai 'an to my residence,
......
