After saying this, he looked down at Chen Ya and said:
"Then let me tell you, my father is a high-ranking official at Beichen. I won't brag too much, but I want to solemnly introduce my aunt to you."
"Do you know the four major families? My aunt's husband is from the Qin family."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Ya, as if he wanted to enjoy his shock.
But Chen Ya disappointed him.
"Do you know where I come from?" Chen Ya asked.
"Whose family are you from? Aren't you the stepson picked up from outside the Lu family?" Xu Haoyu was stunned.
He thought he had missed some information and that there was some other background behind Chen Ya.
Chen Ya said, "I'm from the Chen family. King Wu of Zhou granted Shun's descendant, Chen Hu Gong Gui Man, the land of Chen, and his descendants took the surname Chen. Counting back four thousand years, my ancestors were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
"puff!"
Young Master Xu laughed, and laughed heartily, his eyes wide open, and pointed at Chen Ya, and said to Liu Ruying:
"Did you hear what he said? He thought I was messing with him, and he was still talking nonsense like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. It made me laugh to death..."
Liu Ruying frowned and said to Chen Ya, "This is not the time to joke. The family he mentioned can really make you... Alas, you don't understand now, but you will understand in the future."
She was a little disappointed.
She had hoped Chen Ya would be less indifferent. Even if his trump card still wasn't enough in front of Young Master Xu, she still hoped he would be tough for once and push him back hard.
Maybe for Young Master Xu, his bank deposits were not enough, and he had no power at all, but at least... she could see that he really cared about her face, didn't he?
And now, he remained calm, not only not caring about his own face at all, but also causing himself to be ridiculed.
Liu Ruying was really disappointed.
But soon, she also let it go.
She had already prepared herself mentally before choosing this person.
They will certainly be laughed at by more than one person at first.
But once they get their uncle's wealth, they will surely leave those who laughed at them dumbfounded.
She will have the last laugh.
Young Master Xu laughed crazily, hysterically, and even fell backwards with laughter.
But he soon stopped smiling.
He narrowed his eyes, licked his lips, and said:
"I thought you learned something in the Lu family, but it seems you really know nothing. In this era, people like you who know nothing are considered the best. Then I'm going to have a good time with you. Let me think about how to play..."
After a pause, he said, "By the way, let's start with your Chen Hai. Doesn't he want to obtain Beichen's cooperation qualifications? Then let's guess, if I go back and talk to my dad, will he be able to do it?"
Chen Ya smiled and asked, "Do you still have this ability?"
Young Master Xu stared at him and licked his lips, which were bright red. "Do you think I can?"
"Stop making trouble." Chen Ya suddenly said and changed his sitting position.
He took out a bright yellow object from his wallet, held it in his hand, placed it in front of Young Master Xu, and asked:
"Do you know what this is?"
Young Master Xu squinted his eyes and looked at him: "I don't know, and I don't need to know."
"This is a bullet shell." said Chen Ya.
Xu Haoyu said, "Have you ever been a soldier? Or do you want to show off what you can get? Let me tell you, as long as I want, I can also get my hands on a real gun. What you have..."
"In 1942, the Japanese army launched a large-scale mopping-up operation aimed at annihilating the Eighth Route Army headquarters. They tightened control over bullet casings, preventing the Eighth Route Army from collecting casings to make reloads. As a result, ammunition factories in the base area began using copper and zinc to synthesize brass to make their own casings."
Chen Ya interrupted Xu Haoyu and said something completely irrelevant, which made both Xu Haoyu and Liu Ruying a little confused.
He ignored their emotions and continued:
"Since there were no mines, the Eighth Route Army began buying coins to remelt and refine. Ancient copper coins were rich in zinc, making them ideal for making bullet casings. So they sought out wealthy landlords to buy their square-holed copper coins."
"The production of these homemade bullets is very small, but it's definitely not non-existent. These few homemade bullets may include the Han Dynasty's Wuzhu coins, Kaiyuan Tongbao coins, and Ming Dynasty's Hongwu Tongbao coins..."
"These copper coins may have witnessed China's most prosperous era. They may have accompanied Zhang Qian on his journey across thousands of miles, or followed Zhu Di in conquering the northern desert, or even accompanied Wang Yangming in suppressing rebellions..."
"Later, they all turned into bullets and shot at the invaders to defend our homeland."
Chen Ya held the bullet tightly in his hand, looked at Xu Haoyu and said:
"My grandfather wasn't some high-ranking official. He was a cattle farmer in Shaanxi Province in his early years. He once saved an Eighth Route Army soldier. This bullet casing was left behind by that soldier."
"He left this bullet in my hometown. When I left my hometown, I only took three things with me besides the clothes I wore. One of them was this bullet shell."
"Because it is a sharp blade, a great sword forged over five thousand years. I hold the sword in my hand, and everything before me is like a chicken or a dog. I can destroy it with a single sweep, and I can defeat it with a single blow."
Chen Ya put the shell into his wallet, closed it, and then slowly chanted:
"Looking out from a perilous tower, I sigh, how many people, past and present, have ever experienced this feeling?"
"The devils set up the gods to serve as the gods, and they mistakenly believe that the southern and northern borders are the limits of heaven."
"A river stretches across the land, and hills stretch out on three sides, creating a scene of competition."
"What happened to the Six Dynasties? It was just a family's private scheme."
