Chapter 820

Luoyang is a very prosperous city, where every inch of land, every inch of gold, Hidden Dragon crouching tiger. The status of each class can be seen from their clothes. Those who wear beautiful clothes, gold hairpins and jade bracelets must be rich and noble, while those who wear cotton and hemp coarse cloth and have gray faces are the commoners at the bottom. The richer the place is, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, and the greater people's desire for wealth.

A group of well-dressed masters are sitting in a high-end wine shop. They are all well-known businessmen in Luoyang. Among them, one of the youngest is Chen Guiping, a salt merchant with strong momentum in recent two years. At this time, he was skillfully pushing cups and changing cups with other businessmen of the same noble status at the table. His face was smiling and full of spirit.

Did you ever think that such a rich man used to climb up from the bottom? Of course, Chen Guiping would never tell his rich friends about his past.

In the early years, Chen Guiping was just an idle salt dealer. He could only sell some of the worst and coarsest salt to the common people. At that time, the money he earned was only enough for food and clothing, but his wife, Wang Cuiliu, was always around to support and encourage him. He was greatly moved and worked harder to do business.

After selling crude salt for two years, maybe God couldn't see down the embarrassment of the couple, so their good luck suddenly arrived. One day, Wang Cuiliu, his wife, had a whim and said to Chen Guiping, "husband, you might as well buy more goods at one time. If you want more quantity, you can lower the price with the supplier and save several trips." Chen Guiping thought it was reasonable, so he agreed.

The next day, Chen Guiping went to ask the supplier for the purchase quantity for three months, but after that, he had some regrets and worried that he would lose money if he could not sell the goods. However, there was a sudden flood that month, and the roads in and out of Luoyang were blocked, which could not be dredged so quickly. People had to live on the only grain goods left in the city.

Where did other salt merchants think of such a big flood? They usually buy salt month by month, because once the salt is kept for a long time, it will get damp. Now that all the outlets in the city are blocked, people rush to buy the most basic things like firewood, rice, oil and salt. Suddenly, the price of salt in Luoyang city is raised.

However, no matter how much other salt merchants raised their prices, their stock was limited, so they sold out quickly. This is a great opportunity for Chen Guiping. Relying on his large stock, he raised the inferior crude salt in his hand to a very amazing price, but there are still many people scrambling to buy it. All of a sudden, Chen Guiping is really counting money and getting cramps. He sighs in his heart, thanks to Wang Cuiliu's good idea.

A month after the flood, the roads in Luoyang were completely cleared, and Chen Guiping and his wife made a lot of money. They used the money to expand their business, and instead of selling inferior crude salt, they sold refined salt. Chen Guiping's business is getting bigger and bigger in the future. He bought a luxurious house in the most prosperous street of Luoyang City. There are lots of servants in his family. When they go out in splendid clothes, everyone shouts "master Chen" when they see him.

Chen Guiping can't help but feel a little bit flustered. But he didn't forget his wife's company and encouragement when he was poor. So he loved his wife Wang Cuiliu very much, and the couple were very kind. After gaining his status, Chen Guiping gradually got to know many wealthy and influential businessmen, and his circle of friends went up all at once.

And they, the rich masters, would get together every so often. One is to get in touch with each other, and the other is to exchange useful information. Today is the day for them to get together. They chose a newly opened high-end wine shop in Luoyang City, which only receives distinguished guests, and the threshold is very high.

The banquet is located on the second floor near the fence. At this time, people are drinking while leaning against the fence to look at the bustling scene of people coming and going outside. It's quite a little like seeing all the mountains. The dishes of this new wine shop are exquisite and delicious. They are worthy of its exorbitant price. Everyone is happy to eat and drink, among which Chen Guiping is the most.

He desperately wanted to draw these noble people closer to himself, so he would not refuse all the toasts and swallow them all. At this time, he had drunk all over his face and couldn't find the north. Everyone was in double shadow.

"Brother Chen is really cheerful! Good drink

"Come on, I'll drink to you, too!"

"All drink, all drink!"

Everyone poured one cup after another, and Chen Guiping was even more dizzy. He felt like the world was spinning. After drinking almost, everyone scattered and went home.

Today, Chen Guiping dressed light and went out with no entourage, because the restaurant was only one street away from his home. So he made a false step and went home. Walking into a quiet alley, I saw a dark shadow in front of me. I couldn't really see what it was. I could only vaguely feel that it was huge.

He thought, which is not a long eyed man in charge here. So he said in a gruff voice, "go away! Don't get in my way

The man in front of him didn't move as if he didn't understand. Chen Guiping got angry all of a sudden. Since his price rose, few people dare to be so rude to him.

"What kind of dog are you? Do you know who I am? I'm the famous master Chen in Luoyang Chen Guiping furiously scolded with a forked waist. After scolding, he was quite proud.

The tall group photo in front of him came to him after he had said these words. Then he suddenly quickened his pace and seemed to be in front of Chen Guiping in an instant. He grabbed his neck and lifted him up, face to face.

It was only at this time that Chen Guiping realized something was wrong. Because the distance was too close, he could see that the face in front of him was not a human face, but an ugly, weird, black monster face. He woke up in a moment.

"Monster!" Chen Guiping struggled with his feet and cried out. However, this street is relatively remote, and few people come here at ordinary times.

When the ugly monster saw him struggling, he was even more excited. He cracked his big, gloomy mouth. He laughed, and then he took a big breath. Chen Guiping suddenly felt that his headache was about to explode. He turned his eyes and fainted.

When he woke up, Chen Guiping found himself lying in an alley. For a while, he couldn't figure out what was the situation. Oh, by the way, he used to drink in a wine shop, and then he walked home after drinking. He came here, and then he didn't remember anything. Did you drink too much and sleep on the floor?

Thinking of this, Chen Guiping quickly got up and patted the soil on his clothes. Now he is also a man with a head and a face. It's not proper to be seen sleeping drunk on the ground. But his head was cut with an axe, and Chen Guiping was more sure that he had drunk too much.

He finally went home, immediately fell asleep, but did not know that his life from this day began earth shaking changes, his good luck to the end.

Recently, Chen Guiping found that his wife, Wang Cuiliu, was becoming more and more nagging. She would talk about small things for a long time, and she was not so docile to him as before. At first, he could bear it, but after a long time, he was more and more dissatisfied with his wife. Does it mean that after he became famous, Wang Cuiliu became arrogant because she was promoted along with his status as Mrs. Chen?

Chen Guiping felt very uncomfortable when he thought about it. He supported the family. Without him, how could she live such a wonderful life now? This woman not only didn't know how to appreciate it, but also began to show her hand. So Chen Guiping began to see Wang Cuiliu everywhere.

One day, Zhou Wenkang, a businessman who wanted to do business with him recently, came to visit him and brought his sister Zhou Wenjing. Chen Guiping hosted a banquet for them. Zhou Wenkang's business scale is not as big as Chen Guiping's when he just got rich. The purpose of this door-to-door visit is to attract him, so he brought his charming sister here, which is one of the trump cards.

After three rounds of wine, Zhou Wenkang gives Zhou Wenjing a wink. Zhou Wenjing gets up, twists her graceful posture, holds her glass and walks to Chen Guiping. Wang Cuiliu's face is not very good-looking.

Zhou Wenjing stopped in front of Chen Guiping and said, "this cup is to honor master Chen for my brother. I hope we can have a good time together in the future!" Then drink up the glass.

But the next second, Zhou Wenjing raised her hand and stroked her forehead. Her body shook and fell down towards Chen Guiping. Chen Guiping catches her and immediately feels warm and fragrant. Nephrite tickles his heart. Zhou Wenjing raised his beautiful eyes full of water vapor and said timidly, "master Chen, I'm... I'm in a hurry. I'm a little dizzy."

"Oh, my sister is a poor drinker. I'm sorry I forgot to stop her just now." Zhou Wenkang said falsely, but he didn't want to get up and take over Zhou Wenjing.

"It's all right. You can slow down before you get up." Of course, Chen Guiping didn't want her to get up too fast. He just pretended to comfort her.

Wang Cuiliu saw that the three of them sang in unison and didn't pay attention to her at all. She was so angry that she left the table and went back to her room. This time, Chen Guiping's face was a little embarrassed. Wang Cuiliu's appearance made him lose face in front of others. He was very angry and dissatisfied with Wang Cuiliu.

Seeing that, Zhou Wenjing got up from Chen Guiping, went back to the position beside Zhou Wenkang, and threw a shy smile at Chen Guiping, which almost took away Chen Guiping's soul.

"Ah, brother Chen, it's not that I like to chew my tongue, it's just that my sister-in-law's temper is too big!" Zhou Wenkang fanned the flames. Seeing that Chen Guiping's face was getting darker and darker, he continued to add a fire. "If you want me to tell you, a woman should be gentle and virtuous. In front of an outsider, she must give a man enough face. Just like her sister-in-law's face shaking posture, I don't know that she is in charge of the family."

This sentence completely aroused Chen Guiping's anger for some time, and all his dissatisfaction with Wang Cuiliu broke out. Tonight, he must teach the woman who knows not what has been told, and let her know who has the final say.
