127: Little Cheng'an, a scoundrel, has an order from a powerful family!
Chuanwen and Chuanjie, under Chen Changsheng's dismissal, found a carriage and disguised themselves as wood sellers to head to the Prefecture City, while Chen Changsheng could finally relax.
Chen Changsheng brewed a cup of tea and carried it to the backyard, just in time to see his Eldest Grandson Cheng An wailing and running all over the yard.
Meanwhile, Chen Chuanwu was chasing after the Eldest Grandson's buttocks with an aggressive Aura, holding a bunch of bamboo strips.
Good heavens! Bullying my Eldest Grandson!
Chen Changsheng was instantly enraged.
"What are you doing? How can you hit a child like this!"
Seeing his grandfather arrive, Hoping for peace and safety immediately felt as if he had found a backer. Wailing, he threw himself into his grandfather's arms and hugged Chen Changsheng's thigh.
"Grandpa, Daddy wants to beat me to death!"
Hoping for peace and safety's little mouth pouted, his pitiful appearance making Chen Changsheng's heart ache. He immediately pulled a long face and shouted angrily at Chen Chuanwu:
"What? Cheng An is only six years old this year, and you're using a tool to hit him? Do you want to beat him to death?"
Chen Chuanwu's face twitched slightly, thinking to himself that back then you hit me even harder; never mind these small bamboo strips, you used big sticks.
But Chen Chuanwu was still filial and didn't want to talk back to Chen Changsheng. He could only vent his anger on the child, saying furiously:
"Dad, do you know what this boy did?"
"He actually peeked at the Maidservant bathing! He's only six years old this year! If he isn't properly disciplined, he'll definitely be a profligate playboy in the future and bring shame to our Chen family!"
Chen Changsheng was also somewhat speechless upon hearing that a six-year-old boy was peeking at a Maidservant bathing. However, Chen Changsheng felt that Cheng An was young and his motive certainly wasn't about matters between men and women, so he said to Chen Chuanwu crossly:
"What does a six-year-old child know? You hit him without even asking for the reason. What if you've wronged the child!"
Hearing this, Chen Chuanwu also felt he had been a bit impulsive. When he was six, he felt that women weren't even as fun as grasshoppers in the field, and he couldn't help but scratch his head.
So Chen Changsheng crouched down, looked at Cheng An with a smile, and said in a gentle tone:
"Little Cheng An, tell Grandpa why you peeked at the Maidservant bathing. Were there some toys there? Speak freely, Grandpa will back you up!"
Chen Changsheng's attitude allowed little Cheng An's spirit to relax. He looked up secretly at Chen Chuanwu, then at Chen Changsheng, before whispering:
"Grandpa, Cheng An thinks the Maidservant sisters' things are white and soft, like big white Steamed Buns. Cheng An wanted to touch them, but they wouldn't let me, so I peeked!"
"Cough, cough!!!"
Chen Changsheng's breath caught, and he couldn't help but cough twice, his eyes looking at his Eldest Grandson in disbelief!
"You little brat, I must beat you to death today!"
Chen Chuanwu was even more furious upon hearing this. He thought there might be some hidden reason, but it turned out to be pure lecherousness!
You can see the man in the three-year-old child. If this boy isn't disciplined, he'll definitely grow up to be an old rogue!
Seeing his father's anger, Cheng An quickly hid in Chen Changsheng's arms. Chen Changsheng was still in a daze, a phrase suddenly coming to mind: regardless of age, the appreciation of beauty is universal!
"Cough, cough, Eldest, don't hit him, don't hit him, the child is still young!"
Chen Changsheng hurriedly stopped Chen Chuanwu. Chen Chuanwu's face was purple with rage. Although he wasn't some young hero, he was still a young fierce tiger who had made a name for himself in the Martial Forest punch by punch.
He didn't expect that his son not only failed to inherit his bloody courage but instead started teasing Maidservants at the age of six, a complete rogue-to-be!
"Dad, just keep spoiling him. When he grows up and finds a group of women outside, making you recognize a bunch of great-Grandsons into the family, you'll be satisfied. He's bound to lose all the Chen family's face!"
Chen Chuanwu said with an indignant look, but Chen Changsheng's eyes lit up instead, and he picked up little Cheng An like a treasure.
Each descendant rewarded him with fifty years of Lifespan. If this kid Cheng An was a stallion, that wouldn't be a shame to the Chen family, but rather an accelerator for his, Chen Changsheng's, Golden Finger!
"If Cheng An has a few more children, I'll be more than happy. Like you three brothers, marrying a wife is harder than climbing to heaven. You should take a concubine this year!"
Speaking of this, Chen Changsheng brought the topic back to Chen Chuanwu. As soon as Chuanwu heard about taking a concubine, his expression changed. Ignoring the discipline of Cheng An, he dropped a sentence and ran away dejectedly!
"This also needs Little Juaner's consent. If she doesn't agree, I wouldn't dare!"
Chen Changsheng snorted crossly, then patted his Eldest Grandson's head and said in a kind tone:
"Eldest Grandson, marry more wives in the future. Don't be as cowardly as your father. Hmph, henpecked, how shameful!"
Hearing his grandfather's words, a smile appeared on Cheng An's face. His watery big eyes lit up, and he said in a childish voice:
"Grandpa, I want to marry ten!"
Chen Changsheng was momentarily speechless. He felt that his Lifespan treasury Golden Finger was more suitable for his Eldest Grandson. Fortunately, the children his Eldest Grandson fathered would also be his descendants and add to his Lifespan, hahaha.
Next, Chen Changsheng spent the whole day playing with his Eldest Grandson, naturally not forgetting to teach him things like how a real man should marry many wives. Because the Chuanwu brothers were taught too little when they were young, Chen Changsheng now understood that education must start from childhood.
The next day, just as Chen Changsheng got out of bed, he ran into the returning Chuanwen and Chuanjie.
"Why did you just get back? It only takes two hours from Jade Dragon Peak to the Prefecture City. You were gone for a whole day?"
The two brothers, disguised as woodcutters, each carried a large bag of medicinal herbs and walked towards Chen Changsheng with smiles.
"Heh, don't mention it, Dad. Your qi refining pills have become famous in the Prefecture City. As soon as we went to buy herbs, we were surrounded by people, and they pre-ordered quite a lot!"
Chen Chuanjie scratched his head and said with a smile. Then he put down the herbs he was carrying and took out an order sheet and a bag of Spirit Crystals.
"We took another 50,000 Spirit Crystals in pre-orders. One of the Clans in the Prefecture City gave a 20,000 deposit by themselves!"
Chen Changsheng's vision went dark. He originally wanted to refine pills slowly and enjoy life, but he didn't expect these two eldest sons of his to treat him like a slave. They were going to make him die in the Pill Refining Room!
"Can I refine so many pills? Why don't you do it!"
Chen Changsheng roared crossly at Chen Chuanjie, while Chen Chuanwen chuckled and said to Chen Changsheng with a smile:
"Dad, now is the time to make a name for ourselves. You refine the pills slowly first, we're in no hurry. When our reputation is established in the future, who in the entire Annan Prefecture wouldn't call you Master Chen!"
Chen Changsheng was enticed by the "big cake" Chuanwen drew. After all, making a name for himself in the Annan Cultivation World was also a small dream of his.
He could earn money and gain fame. It was just Alchemy, at most a bit harder and more tiring. Chen Changsheng grit his teeth and then said to Chuanwen and Chuanjie:
"Fine, I'll stay up late to finish these orders, but this is the last time. Don't take any more orders for me in the future!"
"Understood, Dad!"
Chen Chuanjie and Chuanwen were overjoyed and hurriedly moved the medicinal herbs into the Pill Refining Room for Chen Changsheng. After all, the more pills their father refined, the more Spirit Crystals they earned, and their brothers' cultivation resources would be more abundant!
