Chen Lie's newly built Tinghou Mansion was in Dongcheng, and Chen Hai and the others soon saw the brand-new Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion, standing at the end of a paved stone street.
The huge mansion covers an area of hundreds of acres, and the front of the house is a square of more than ten acres in size, and on both sides is a long tethered horse stone, which is tied to all kinds of spirit horses. Just looking at these spirit horses, you know that the people who attended today's night banquet were the most descendant generals and subordinates in front of Chen Lie's tent; The Tinghou Mansion sent more than a dozen people outside to take care of these spirit riders.
"Chen Su!" Wu Meng's eyes were sharp, and he called out to a middle-aged man guarding the gate.
"It turned out to be Wu Meng, you," the middle-aged man strode over, greeted Wu Meng with a smile, his eyes hesitantly rolled on Chen Hai's face, and asked Wu Meng, "Who are these three masters?" ”
Chen Lie previously had a cultivation cave mansion in Splashing Cloud Cliff, and in Weijiang City, there was a general mansion of Duwuwei.
Chen Su was previously the deputy head of the Du Wuwei General's Mansion, and at this time, Chen Lie was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Yulong Battalion, and was named the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion, and the Du Wuwei General's Mansion in Weijiang City no longer existed, so he naturally rushed to the Yulong Mansion City to serve as the deputy head of the Hou Mansion.
Although Chen Hai had never met Chen Su, he never believed that the shrewd and capable Chen Su would not recognize him at this time, thinking that this Chen Su seemed to still believe that Chen Zhang was the young master of the Hou Mansion, and he actually used this kind of little trick to make a stand in front of him.
Chen Hai stood with his hands in his hands, turned his head to look at the door hanging at the gate of the Hou Mansion, the red iron plaque of "Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou Mansion" was naturally newly hung up, the plaque was cast of red fine iron, bright red and gorgeous, five big ink characters, iron and silver hooks, vigorous and powerful, with an indescribable vigorous rhyme......
Seeing that Wu Meng wanted to explain his identity to Chen Su, Chen Hai diverted the conversation, pointed to the plaque and asked Wu Meng: "Wu Meng, guess whose handwriting these five characters are, the skills are extraordinary!" ”
"If you guess correctly, it should be Sun Gan's handiwork!" Wu Meng said.
"Sun Gan served as the chief historian in front of my uncle's tent, and he was the head of all the subordinate officials, and they all said that he was extremely high in cultivating the Tao with literature, and now he is indeed extraordinary just by looking at the five characters of change; Let's go inside. Chen Hai walked towards the door of the mansion without even looking at Chen Su.
Wu Meng glanced at Chen Su, who was embarrassed, and didn't say anything more, leaving him aside, and followed Chen Hai with Zhou Jun and Ge Tong, and walked towards the house; The four mounts were all thrown out directly, and they didn't believe that Chen Su really dared to ignore them.
Naturally, there were guards behind this gate, and seeing Chen Su so embarrassed, they couldn't refuse, they couldn't greet them, they could only laugh and watch Chen Hai and them go straight to the courtyard.
In the past six months or so, Chen Hai and the others have never left Yulong Mountain, let alone know the layout of the Xinjian Hou Mansion, but Chen Hai, as a young master at this time, naturally has to have the calm bearing to walk into his own courtyard, so he walks leisurely in the maze-like courtyard.
After a while, a few people came out from behind the gate of another courtyard, led by a middle-aged man, with a pinch of short mustache on his lips, looking very elegant, standing in front of the hollow-shaped corridor and giving a long salute: "Su Yuan didn't know that the young man arrived at this time, and he didn't go out to greet him, it's really rude." ”
Su Yuan is the head of the Hou Mansion, and Sun Gan and others are Chen Lie's right-hand men, and Chen Hai has never seen him before.
If Chen Su had led Chen Hai and them directly in just now, he wouldn't have to come over to greet Su Yuan personally, presumably he knew that an inconspicuous trivial matter had just happened outside the gate.
"It turned out to be Uncle Su, Chen Hai was polite," Chen Hai returned the salute and said with a smile, "Who was named Chen Su at the door just now, and he didn't even recognize me." After I go back, I will ask Wu Meng to check carefully, to see if Chen Su has any children and nephews who are practicing in the Huanglongyuan Daoist Academy, I will help him take good care of it! ”
Su Yuan naturally didn't like Chen Hai, who was too shallow and too eager, but he didn't expect that Chen Su had just offended him on the front foot, and he openly said that he would take revenge on Chen Su's nephew on the back foot, and he could only lead Chen Hai to the hall where the generals gathered in front of him without changing his face.
The few people who followed Su Yuan were all in charge of the Hou Mansion, but they were secretly frightened when they heard it.
Unlike the descendants of the Chen clan, who can directly enter the inner gate of the Seven Peaks to practice, the side branches of the Chen clan and the sons and nephews of the tribal family who have cultivation talents can only enter the Taoist academy to practice first.
And Chen Lie served in the Jade Dragon Camp, was named the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion, and the official place of food was given in the Jade Dragon Mansion, these people are Chen Lie's descendants, and their sons and nephews can only enter the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy to practice in the future.
It also means that no matter how much they look down on this young master, as long as their sons and nephews enter the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy to practice, they will all fall into the hands of this "young master", and there are already many children before, and they have been cleaned up very miserably when they enter the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy......
Thinking of this, the scalps of several people behind Su Yuan were numb, and they secretly felt that this "young master" who was bound to repay him was really not something they could easily provoke.
***********************
The Hou Mansion was also lit up, and Chen Lie still had a few private letters to write in person, and he was still in the backyard study at this time, but Chen Zhang, Chen Qing and others, as well as a group of generals, had also gathered in the banquet hall and were waiting for the start of the banquet.
Even Su Ziling was sitting next to Chen Qing.
Chen Hai walked into the hall with Su Yuan, and many people also stood up with Chen Zhang.
No matter what everyone thinks behind their backs and how they look down on him as a gentleman, Chen Hai's identity as a "sister-in-law" was personally identified by Chen Lie, the head of the family, and he is on the same level as Chen Zhang in the Tinghou Mansion.
These subordinate officials and generals around Chen Lie, even if they don't have to go out of the mansion to greet them, they have to get up at this time to show their respect, only Chen Qing sat there by himself, and he didn't bother to look at Chen Hai.
Chen Zhang was also very "enthusiastic" and introduced these people in the hall to Chen Hai.
Shi Sun Gan, the head of Chen Lie's subordinate officials, is a middle-aged scribe under the age of forty, a lupine scarf, he, like Su Yuan, has the late cultivation of the Spirit Realm, as a descendant of the Chen family, he has always been Chen Lie's right-hand man.
In addition, there are two late-stage powerhouses of the Chen Clan, Chen Quan and Chen Yu, who were born in the side branch of the Chen clan, who grew up with Chen Lie and had a close relationship.
To say that in the future, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion will have its own line within the Chen family, and Su Yuan, Sun Gan, Chen Quan, and Chen Yu can be said to be the four pillars of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, and they have always been trusted and reused by Chen Lie.
Moreover, they are all in the prime of life, and there is still potential and space for further breakthroughs in cultivation.
In addition to these four people, including Chen Su, who wanted to touch Chen Hai's soft nail outside the door just now, there were nearly thirty descendants of the Spirit Realm in front of Chen Lie's tent.
Although these people were all enthusiastic at this time, Chen Hai could also understand with his toes that these people must support Chen Zhang, far more than him, a half-"young master".
Chen Hai didn't care, he introduced Zhou Jun and Ge Tong to everyone, and when he saw a scheming general, he occasionally frowned slightly, thinking that his performance outside just now must have been reported to them.
Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, and Ge Tong all sat down at the back of the first side of the hall, and Chen Zhang enthusiastically took Chen Hai's arm and pulled him to sit on the top.
Chen Hai smiled and excused himself and said, "How can I sit in front of several uncles?" Insisting on sitting down to Sun Gan's head, Chen Qing, who was sitting under him with a smile, spoke, "You and Ziling have already returned, I went back to Huanglongyuan, and I went to look for you." ”
Chen Qing didn't know why Chen Hai came to her to be bored, but just looked at the melons and fruits in front of the table, completely ignoring Chen Hai's meaning.
"I have also specially prepared gifts...... Chen Hai seemed to not see the disgust on Chen Qing's face with a capital letter, and took a piece of Jinpa from his arms.
"I don't want you to give me any gifts." Chen Qing said coldly.
"Ah," Chen Hai was stunned and said, "This is for Ziling, but I didn't prepare it for you......" The hand that was handed out bypassed Chen Qing without hindrance and handed it over to Su Ziling.
Su Ziling was secretly thinking about other things in her heart, where did she think that Chen Hai would suddenly come to this one, looking at the Jinpa handed to her, she naturally wouldn't pick up this Jinpa, but she was caught off guard, her beautiful face was flushed, as if some adultery was suddenly exposed in front of everyone.
Seeing Su Ziling's hand pressed on the short table, Chen Hai didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, took back the Jinpa, and smiled with Sun Gan, Lu Yuan and others who looked at each other with a smile: "I didn't expect Chen Qing's misunderstanding, Ziling was embarrassed to accept my gift; If I had known this, I would have prepared two gifts next time! ”
Chen Qingfen's face turned pale with anger, and he couldn't wait to lift the low table and smash it on Chen Hai's ugly face with more than a dozen faint scars.
Sun Gan and Su Yuan glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts that this "young master" could talk and laugh so calmly as soon as he came in, and tease Chen Qing, who was hostile to him, in the palm of his hand, maybe it was not that simple.
Ge Tong, who was born in a poor family, is not enough, Zhou Jun and Zhao Ruhui are de facto masters and apprentices, which is almost an open secret. Zhou Jun will officially worship under Chen Lie's sect this time, which means that Zhao Ruhui will become the most staunch ally of the Chen clan in the Huanglongyuan Daoist Academy from now on.
And during this time, Li Xianghai was also very close to them.
Sun Gan, Su Yuan, Chen Quan, Chen Yu and others are not optimistic that Chen Hai may compete with Chen Zhang.
At this time, they could all see that Chen Hai had already stepped into the late stage of the Tongxuan Realm, but they also knew that Chen Lie had prepared four Tongxuan veins for Chen Hai before, and they thought that Chen Hai would be twenty years old after the year, and only then did he enter the inner gate of the Seven Peaks to practice, for the descendants of the sect lords, such a cultivation speed was too slow and too slow.
What's more, after Chen Hai's cultivation was abolished, he took five Tongmai Pills before and after he re-cultivated the four spiritual veins, which meant that no matter how much Tongmai Pills he took in the future, it would not have much effect; And opening up the spiritual sea on the basis of the four spiritual veins, the future development potential is too weak, and it is extremely difficult to even refine a small realm.
It's just such a "waste", but it can win two allies in the middle of the Ming Realm for the Chen clan in a short period of time, and the Medicine Master Garden is also quite impressive, even if there is no possibility of competing with the young master Chen Zhang at this time, but Sun Gan, Su Yuan, Chen Quan, and Chen Yu also have to admit that this "waste" is not completely useless......
