Recommended reading: Different from those boxy cities, Guangling County is rectangular, long from east to west, narrow from north to south, there are bunkers built at the four corners outside the city, there is a small earth mountain in the west of the city, shaped like a pillar, and there is a river flowing in the east of the city, which leads directly to the sea.
The whole layout is the best location, the best place for feng shui is naturally the dragon head in the east of the city, it is said that the people who live here, can be rich and noble, the prince Wandai, Guangling 'the first gate valve' Chen family's mansion is located here, and covers a vast area, pavilions and pavilions, luxury and luxury, the family industry is all over the city, so that the folk have 'Guangling County, Chen Bancheng' said!
Three days, a snap of a finger, Mrs. Chen's 80th birthday arrived, Guangling County's officials, businessmen, gentry, celebrities, have come to the door to pay their respects, even Xuzhou all over the Shi clan gates, also all sent important people in the clan, with heavy gifts to come, for a time, the traffic is busy, lively and extraordinary!
"Langya County, the son of the Cao family came to pay homage to his birthday~~"
"Donghai County, the son of the Mi family came to pay homage to his birthday~~"
"Xiapi County, the son of the Tian family~~"
………………………………
According to the habits of the scholars, it is easy for a family to say that they will not leave the nest, so the eldest son and grandson of the family who come to pay homage to the birthday are basically the eldest son and grandson of the family, which can not only exercise the diplomatic ability of young people, but also not lose the status and etiquette, killing two birds with one stone!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Chen's house, inside the lobby!
The old birthday star Chen Jue was wearing a red longevity robe, wearing a five-bat jade crown, and cloud-patterned soft boots, and was talking with the sons of the family who came to pay homage, and from time to time there was a hearty laugh, revealing a strong sense of pride!
Chen Jue is eighty years old this year, he still has complete teeth and teeth, his face is ruddy, his white hair is combed very neatly, he speaks, his voice is loud, his thinking is quick, look at that spirit, if nothing else, it will not be a problem to live for another one or two decades!
During the Qin and Han dynasties, because of diet, disease, disasters, ......, and other reasons, the life expectancy of Chinese people was generally short.
It is very rare to live to the age of seventy, such an old man, the whole country has the obligation to support him, as for the age of eighty, it is even more rare, you can do whatever you want, not bound by the law of the Han Dynasty, whether it is stealing, raping, or killing, you will not be punished, which is equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death!
Chen Qi lived to be eighty years old, in his life, he has been filial piety, he has been a Taishou, glory and wealth, brocade clothes, jade food and ......, almost all of them have been enjoyed, and then look at the large group of grandchildren and great-grandchildren around him, what is there not to be satisfied with?
If there is really any regret, it is that at his 80th birthday banquet, there were two people absent, one is his most proud son Chen Deng, the state pastor appointed by the imperial court is missing, Chen Deng is now sitting in Xuzhou City, temporarily acting as the state pastor, responsible for handling all large and small government affairs, he really can't get out, or he is not willing to leave, the Chen family is looking forward to removing the word 'temporary' day and night!
The other did not appear, is his favorite illegitimate son - Dongyu, a few days ago he was assigned to go to the coastal fishing village to buy sea salt, but he never looked back, and a team of subordinates also disappeared, the servants of the Chen family searched the nearby fishing villages, but they didn't see anyone alive, they couldn't see the corpse, this incident cast a cloud on the old Chen Jue's heart, his own seeds, he knew that if it wasn't for the accident, Dongyu would definitely run back to curry favor at the birthday banquet, what happened to him? Could it be that in Guangling County, there are still people who dare to attack the Chen family?
"Hebei Zhen Family-'Five Sons' came to pay their respects!"
With the shouting of the celebrant officer, whether it was the contemplative Chen Qi, or the guests who were feasting, Qi Qi set his eyes on the main entrance of the lobby, everyone knows that the Zhen family's 'five sons' came to Guangling, and they also participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet held by the scholars a few days ago, but it was just a few taps on the scholar circle in Xuzhou, and today is the real debut!
In the eyes of everyone, I saw a flash of red light, and a young woman who looked like a fairy and had an elegant temperament walked in slowly, it was the famous Hebei Zhen family~' Five Sons! ’
Zhen Mi changed the dress of the noble son in the past, but changed into a bright red wide-sleeved long skirt, which was coiled with gold silk and embroidered with various exquisite flower patterns, which set off the already slender figure more beautifully.
Look at the head again, the hair bun is high, wearing a long golden step, the pretty face is slightly applied with some thin powder, and the cherry mouth is also smeared with a little rouge, with a delicate face, elegant temperament, it is really like a fairy descending to earth!
"Fairy, it's really a fairy who has descended to earth~woo~~"
"This is the 'five sons' of the Zhen family, it is better to be famous than to meet, and it is better to be famous than to meet~~"
"If you can marry a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
There was a commotion in the lobby, and the guests were either stunned or drooling, all of them were impressed by the beauty in front of them!
Even Chen Jue, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but stroke his long hair and nodded frequently, "Sure enough, she is a woman who is as beautiful as the country, and what is even more valuable is that this woman is very smart, and she controls the Zhen family's business route with one hand, and she is a golden mountain that can walk!" ”
People's eyes were all attracted by Zhen Mi, as for the maid Xiaozhu who was in charge of holding the skirt next to her, and the little black-faced attendant holding the gift box, they were naturally ignored.
"The five daughters of the Zhen family in Hebei ~ Zhen Mi, come to pay respects to your birthday, and wish Mrs. Chen, blessings such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"
The long skirt fluttered, Zhen Mi gently saluted, Xiaozhu on one side knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, while the little black-faced attendant on the other side had a straight waist and firm knees, without the slightest intention of saluting, but with a pair of black and white eyes, he scanned the guests at the banquet, just like looking at a group of lambs to the slaughter!
"Hehe, the fifth prince is here, the humble house is shining, and the old man is also deeply honored!" Chen Jue raised his hands and gestured to excuse himself, but he was secretly thinking in his heart, "It would be great if such a talented woman could become her granddaughter-in-law!" ”
Once the two families are married, the Chen family can not only take the opportunity to get a huge amount of wealth, but also be able to climb the big tree of the overlord of Hebei - Yuan Shao through the relationship. If the Chen family wants to be left and right, the best way is to belong to Cao Cao and secretly communicate with Yuan Shao, so that no matter who wins or loses in the future, their Chen family can stand tall, or even one step closer, and become the top gate valve in the world, high in the court, ranking among the three princes, it is not impossible!
"Haha! ~~ If this can be done, the old man will have no regrets when he dies! ”
Thinking of the smugness, Chen Jue couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, but halfway through the laughter, he couldn't laugh anymore, because he saw the little black-faced attendant next to Zhen Mi at a glance, standing as steady as a mountain, and the eyes of the two touched in the air, and countless sparks suddenly flashed!
"The old man heard that there is a 'little divine doctor with a holy hand' next to the fifth son, could it be this person?" Chen Qi has read countless people in his life, but it is the first time he has seen such a person with a strange temperament, looking like a mountain from a distance, looking like an abyss up close, unpredictable, clouds and mist, and there seems to be a faint murderous aura overflowing!
"The attendant is rude and rude, don't blame the old lady!" Zhen Mi apologized in her mouth, and glanced at her side reproachfully, but in that gaze, there were seven points of love and three points of slight anger, not so much anger as coquettishness with her lover!
"It's okay, when the world is strange, there will be surprising moves!" Chen Jue first waved his hand generously, and then changed his words, "The old man has been frail and sick in recent years, and he needs such a famous doctor to recuperate his body, I don't know if the fifth son is willing to cut his love?" ”
The longer people live, the more afraid of death, although Chen Qi is eighty years old, but he can't wait to live another hundred and eighty years, so as to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, so he usually attaches great importance to health, in addition to collecting medicinal materials such as heaven and earth treasures, he has raised a lot of famous doctors at home, specifically for him to check the pulse and regulate the body, and now when he meets such a miracle doctor, he naturally refuses to let go easily!
"Thank you for the old lady's compliment, but this little woman is still very useful, I really can't give it up, I hope to forgive me!" Zhen Mi replied very tactfully, but she was scolding in her heart, "You are an old immortal, you want to rob this girl's bed warmer......"
"Hehe, it's okay! Anyway! When fate comes, it will naturally come! Chen Qi made a pun, as long as Zhen Mi became his granddaughter-in-law, this little divine doctor, as the attendant of the marriage, was he afraid that he would not be able to enter his mansion~~
While everyone was talking and laughing, Chen Fu, the chief steward in the mansion, suddenly ran in, and ran into countless attendants and maids who blocked the way along the way, almost throwing himself in front of Chen Jue...... It's a big deal~~"
"On the day of your birthday, what kind of system is it to be so flustered?" Chen Si's face was warm and angry, could it be that the sky in Guangling County had fallen?
"Back to the old lady's words, the car of the governor of Zhengxi suddenly entered the city, and now it is driving all the way to our mansion, saying that it is to pay homage to the old lady!"
"What? …… Ghost-faced Xiao Lang is here? ”
