Chapter Twenty-Six: Under the Harvest Ceremony
"Dear folks, elders, uncles, brothers and sisters, please be quiet for a while. Our harvest ceremony is about to begin. Chen Liqun had just walked to the front of the stage, and as soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, he decisively struck the gong in his hand, and only after the sound of the bell did he shout loudly to the crowd.
The crowd that had been frolicking and talking was very face-saving and immediately quieted down.
Chen Liqun nodded, very satisfied with this effect, he continued: "Before the harvest ceremony, Rong Xiaozi introduced a big man to everyone, he is this Fan Wei Fan Master next to me, he was instructed by my Guizhou Provincial Governor Shen Yuqing Shen to come to be a witness to my Chen family's harvest ceremony and opening ceremony, notary public, and the elders of the big hometown welcome Master Fan together!" ”
"Welcome Master Fan!"
Chen Liqing immediately instructed in the background, and immediately some people from the Chen family in the crowd shouted and took the lead in clapping their hands in welcome.
"Welcome Master Fan!" Someone took the lead, and the people's positive surname was easily driven, and one by one they hurriedly clapped their hands to show their welcome: "Welcome, welcome." ”
"Sycophants." Although An Guotai and An Guomei below are very unhappy, they can only applaud on this occasion.
In the midst of the people's welcome, Master Fan consciously stepped forward and waved his hand, saying, "Hehe, everyone is a fellow countryman, don't say anything welcome or not, everyone as a family doesn't need to be so polite." ”
"Just be natural."
Hearing Master Fan say this, the crowd gradually quieted down.
"Hehe, it seems that our Master Fan is still very close to the people." Chen Liqun kept up with the rhythm, and then he briefly introduced a few characters around him: "This is our county magistrate Liuxian Ling, this is Master Feng from Lu Ping...... I believe everyone is familiar with it, and everyone is welcome again. ”
There was a sparse applause below.
"Okay, I won't say more, I believe everyone can't wait, now I announce that the harvest ceremony is now officially started." Chen Liqun didn't care about everyone's applause, and after waiting for a while, he went directly to the stage to announce the start of the harvest ceremony.
Knock knock knock!
As Chen Liqun announced the start, the gongs and drums next to him suddenly sounded, and at the same time, fireworks were set off again in the sky, beating gongs and drums, like the New Year, which was very lively. Although it was daytime, people's emotions were still mobilized by such a lively scene, and they all straightened their necks and looked at the performance arranged by Chen Liqun.
"I believe you have heard about my Chen family's harvest ceremony before, and now, Rong Liqun will explain to you a little bit about the purpose, purpose, and future development of our family's harvest ceremony." Chen Liqun is very stylish, and after the sound of fireworks and gongs and drums stopped, under the gaze of more than 1,000 people, he started an opening remarks without stage fright.
"First of all, let me tell you about the purpose of this harvest ceremony."
"I believe everyone has seen these two pieces of land under our stage, and there must be brothers and sisters with flexible minds who have guessed what is probably under these two fields."
"Now, I can tell you clearly that under these two fields is the grain grown from the fine seeds that my father had spent years perfecting. The grain production is several times higher than before, as it was rumored a few days ago. Of course, it is not as exaggerated as some brothers say, a grain of rice can be fed. When Chen Liqun said this, he was also humorous, and suddenly there was a kind laugh from the crowd.
Chen Liqun also laughed, and after the smile, he continued: "Anyway, now everyone just needs to know that the purpose of my Chen family's harvest ceremony today is to share the planting method of high-yield grain with all brothers and sisters, and the purpose is to let the people of Pingyue eat enough, and let everyone eat well in the future, and now our family invites Master Fan to be everyone's witness." Since my Chen family has already said it, I will do it. Chen Liqun's voice resounded throughout the audience.
The onlookers listened to his introduction, and suddenly became curious about the so-called high-yield grain planted in the two fields below.
"Is there really high-yielding food?"
"No, why didn't I see it when I came to herd the cattle the other day?"
There was a buzz in the crowd, and there was a lot of discussion, and curious and admiring eyes roamed Chen Mingren's face.
"Oh, Brother Shoucheng, is this the high-yield grain you made here?" After listening to Chen Liqun's introduction, Master Fan couldn't help but look sideways and curiously at the land below, and finally knew what was covered under the black gauze, he couldn't help but look at Chen Mingren beside him, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"Yes, yes." Chen Mingren looked at everyone's eyes, although he said no in his heart, he still nodded stubbornly.
"Brother Shoucheng!" Master Fan and the others saw Chen Mingren's admit, and immediately admired it.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Chen Mingren blushed a little and hurriedly excused himself, he really didn't dare to be weak-hearted.
"Brother Shoucheng is humble, hehe." Master Fan and the others didn't believe it.
"Alas, that guy Xiaoqing, but he killed his father." Chen Mingren turned back with a wry smile, wanting to find Chen Liqing's figure.
All of this is at the mercy of his second son and younger son, but in fact, he can't make any high-yield grain at all, but his youngest son Chen Liqing made it. Now that he has robbed his youngest son of the credit in front of so many people, even if Chen Mingren has been studying for many years and has excellent cultivation, he can't help but blush a little and can't hold back.
"Does your Chen family really have any high-yield grain, can't it just be some ordinary cabbage, and you want to deceive the governor to get credit?"
Suddenly, just when everyone's mood was high, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
The people's chatter immediately fell, and at the same time they hurriedly followed the place where the sound came from.
"An Guotai? An Guomei? ”
Chen Liqun couldn't help frowning slightly, and first took a step forward and said to the two brothers: "An Guotai, what do you mean by this, do you suspect that my family's harvest ceremony has another purpose?" ”
"Hmph, maybe you use some ordinary cabbage and deliberately say what kind of high-yield food it is, who knows what ulterior motives your family has?" Since he couldn't help but say it, even if the governor was watching, An Guotai would let it go. Seeing Chen Liqun's family and Master Fan walking so close, he was already unhappy.
"Master Fan, this is the son of our Pingyue family, and their family has always been at odds with my family." Seeing An Guotai's sudden righteous words, although Chen Liqun felt strange, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, ignored An Guotai and turned his head to explain to Master Fan first.
"Oh? Deliberately dismantling the stage? Master Fan suddenly glanced at An Guotai and An Guomei curiously.
An Guotai and An Guomei were looked at by Master Fan, and they looked at each other without fear, wanting to expose the conspiracy of the Chen family, they were unprecedentedly united this time.
"Oh, are they telling the truth?" Seeing the two brothers like this, Master Fan couldn't help but feel his heart move.
"Liqun, are they telling the truth, it's just some ordinary cabbage below?"
Fan Wei suddenly turned his head and asked Chen Liqun, in fact, Fan Wei was also a little suspicious of the real surname of Chen Liqun's words, although he had only been in contact with Chen Mingren for less than an hour, but he could also tell that Chen Mingren was not that type of change, and the excellent seeds were discovered by Chen Mingren, which he was a little suspicious. It's just that the suspicion in his heart at that time was just a flash, and now that An Guotai reminded him, he has some doubts again.
"This, Master Fan, aren't all what they said true......" Chen Liqun couldn't help frowning, Master Fan's question was a little difficult to answer.
"What is not all true, what is true is true, and what is false is false." Seeing Chen Liqun's hesitant face, Fan Wei's face couldn't help but darken, and he faintly felt that he might have been tricked.
"Yes, Chen Liqun, aren't you scared and don't dare to tell the truth, right?" An Guotai and the others didn't expect Master Fan to have such a change, and they hurriedly agreed.
"Well, what they said is true, it's cabbage planted below, but it's not ordinary-" Seeing Master Fan's face change so quickly, Chen Liqun no longer pretended to be mysterious, and wanted to explain.
It's just that before he finished explaining, he saw Master Fan's face pale: "Needless to say, it's really a cabbage?" Are you joking with Master Ben and making a joke about the Governor? Hearing Chen Liqun admit that it was really a cabbage, Fan Wei suddenly felt like he had been tricked, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Came so far just to see the cabbage? Spreading it out is not only a shame for him, but also a shame for the governor's face.
"Master Fan, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, although our family grows cabbage, please rest assured, I, Chen Mingren, guarantee with my personality, it will definitely not be ordinary cabbage." Seeing that Chen Liqun was deflated, Chen Mingren's face was a little unbearable, and he immediately stepped forward to look at Fan Wei.
"Yes, yes, Master Fan, don't be angry, I believe that Brother Shoucheng will not make fun of Master." Liu Xianling and the others didn't expect that things would take a turn for the worse all of a sudden, and when they heard this, they hurriedly spoke for Chen Mingren.
"Yes, master, don't jump to conclusions, my brother-in-law's character I Wang Youzhi still believed, he is definitely not a person who talks about it, he said that this cabbage is not ordinary, it is not ordinary." Although Wang Youzhi on the side had never seen cabbage, but now Chen Liqun and Chen Mingren seemed to be in trouble, he still decisively stood on Chen Liqun's side.
"Uncle." Chen Liqun glanced at Wang Youzhi gratefully.
"This, Master Fan, don't be angry......" The gentry next to him could suddenly see the attitude, and some people thought for a while, and decisively persuaded the master. But some gentry looked at the two brothers of the An family, looked at Chen Liqun's side, and thought that Chen Liqun had admitted that it was an ordinary cabbage, and they couldn't figure out the direction for a while, and the surname Suo actually stood still and didn't see persuasion.
Chen Mingren and Chen Liqun took everyone's performance in their eyes one by one.
"Tsk, I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that the people of the An family will actually jump out at this time to find fault?" Chen Liqing watched this sharp turn of events from behind, not angry, but a little interesting.
They had seen it before, and although the cabbage was still a cabbage, it had surpassed the knowledge of people at this time. Now An Guotai and they are still looking at it with old eyes, and they are destined to be shocked.
"But why are they so sure of cabbage? Have they seen it before? Chen Liqing could already think of An Guotai and their ghost later, but suddenly, he thought of a key surname issue.
"I don't want to, their unintentional move, I didn't expect to be able to help my family distinguish some friendly forces." Looking at the changed situation at the front desk again, Chen Liqing felt interesting again.
