After a while, the outside suddenly became lively, and the Chen family next to him looked around and whispered: It's coming, it's coming. Chen Tang thought to himself, who is coming? Such a big battle. I saw that at the gate, the head of the family accompanied a middle-aged man with a lofty instrument into the compound, and then entered the main house, and the others continued to wait in the compound.

After listening to the greetings of several people in the hall, they chatted a few more words, and after half an hour, the fifth brother of the head of the family came out to pass the word, and ordered the children of the Chen family and the selected servants to enter the main house, and Chen Tang reluctantly followed. Entering the main house, the hall is very large, the city lord of Wuyue sits on the upper seat, the head of the family is accompanied on the left, and the old man with white hair on the right should be the elder of the Chen family, and there is a jeweled girl sitting on the right behind the lord of the city, and several brothers of the head of the family are sitting on both sides.

The head of the family looked at the junior who entered the hall majestically and said: "This time the city lord came to my Chen Jiabao, it is the glory of my Chen Jiabao, my Chen family is under the protection of the city lord, and it is getting stronger and stronger, this time the city lord is coming, it is to choose a few scholars, and the cultivation is guided by the city lord, if anyone is selected, it is the supreme glory, and it is also the glory of my Chen family, you come up one by one, introduce yourself, and come from you first." "The child of the Chen family who is on the left side of the head of the head of the family's finger is Chen Yu.

"Junior Chen Yu, 16 years old, second-order in the pneumatic realm. Chen Yu stepped forward and bowed with his fists.

"Junior Chen Jun, 14 years old, the first order of the pneumatic realm. Chen Jun also stepped forward and bowed with his fists clenched.

"Junior Chen Shu, 13 years old, the first order of the pneumatic realm. ”

......

The children of the Chen family stepped forward one by one, basically in the first order, only Chen Yu was in the second order, and then the servants stepped forward to introduce themselves, and the city lord of Wuyue City did not speak, just nodded and smiled.

After Chen Tang had finished introducing the children of the Chen family in front of him, Chen Tang thought that he didn't come forward, why should he be humiliated if he didn't practice at all, and he was about to go out to wander around, and he would definitely not be a scholar, so he lowered his head and automatically stood to the side. Everyone didn't see his small movements, and the head of the family also thought that the introduction was over, so they looked at the city lord of Wuyue City.

"Lord of the City, do you think my Chen family's children have the materials they like?" asked the Chen family head hopefully.

"Well, the Chen family has had a lot of talents in recent years, and there are successors, haha. The city lord said with a smile, he was not in a hurry to choose, and the Chen family had not yet taken out their belongings to pay respect.

"Dad, there is another junior who hasn't introduced himself, do you think my father's skills are slight?" It was the bejeweled girl behind the right of the city lord who suddenly spoke.

When the head of the Chen family heard this, he sweated and hurriedly said: "How dare the Chen family! He turned his head to look at the hall and said sharply: "Who hasn't introduced it yet, hurry up and apologize to the city lord." ”

The juniors in the hall looked at each other a few times and stepped back, revealing a person, Chen Tang was helpless, lowered his head and stepped forward, hugged his fists and bowed and said: "The juniors did not come forward because of their low qualifications and failed to cultivate their sense of qi, so they did not dare to step forward, please ask the city lord and the family master to forgive their sins." ”

"Oh, I see, since you don't have talent, you don't need to be arrogant, study hard and take a show, and it's not bad to have a future in the court of Xiyue Kingdom. The lord of the castle put on a charitable face.

"Which yard are you a child, look up. The head of the house asked.

"The juniors don't dare, the juniors have ugly faces, for fear of scaring the VIPs. Chen Tang continued to keep his head down.

The head of the family was very strange, this junior was elegant and generous, and he didn't know why? The third brother of the head of the family next to him seemed to vaguely guess that since the child was born, he knew that there was a birthmark on his face, and he rushed to the remote courtyard without even looking at it, and he didn't remember the name.

"Junior Chen Tang, 12 years old. Chen Tang raised his head, and everyone gasped, no wonder everyone in the Chen family, in fact, Chen Tang was handsome and fair-skinned, but only limited to the right side of the face, a red spot on the left side of the face spread on the forehead, temples, and even the lips, the outer edge of the red spot was like a cloud pattern, and the dark red color made the whole face hideous.

Suddenly, I heard an exclamation, it was the daughter of the city lord who was frightened and screamed. The head of the house hurriedly shouted: "You go out quickly, don't scare the distinguished guests." ”

Chen Tang hurriedly withdrew, and there was a person in the hall who could poke him to death with a little finger, and besides, he didn't want to stay in it for a long time, so he hurried back to the small courtyard, and saw the opportunity to escape in the past two days.

In the hall, the city lord couldn't blame the Chen family for this trivial matter, but he didn't mention the matter of collecting child servants, and the head of the Chen family didn't dare to ask again, so he hurriedly set up a luncheon to entertain the city lord's father and daughter, but he hated this junior with a birthmark in his heart, and took advantage of the free time between the Chen family and the city lord during the luncheon, and found the housekeeper and asked quietly: "Which courtyard is this junior from?"

The housekeeper knew that the third young master of the Chen family had such a child, and replied: "It is the child of the third master, the child's mother is a maid, and she died after giving birth to the child. ”

"Go and tell the third master, this child let him deal with it himself. The head of the family said coldly.

The third master of the Chen family is also hating, hating that his child was not drowned when he was born, and now he has made a big disaster, and when he heard the words of the housekeeper, he gritted his teeth even more, and immediately invited his personal guard to whisper. The guards took the order.

At this time, the city lord's daughter came to the hall after freshening up in the back room, "Yan'er, are you okay?" the city lord asked. The city lord's daughter didn't answer, she walked up to the city lord and whispered a few words, and the city lord was surprised: "There is still such a thing?"

"This is the home remedy that Master Yan'er heard during her travels. The lord's daughter replied.

The city lord thought for a while, and said to the head of the Chen family: "Where is the child with a birthmark on his face just now, call him over, my daughter's master said that people with this kind of birthmark are far away from evil spirits, and my daughter wants to train him to be a follower." Exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits. ”

The head of the Chen family was very surprised, and hurriedly turned his head and planned to let the third brother take Chen Tang, but he didn't expect the third brother to hear what the city lord said, and remembered that he had just asked the guards to dispose of the child, so he hurriedly left to chase the guards.

Although the third master of the Chen family was extravagant, it was also a period of condensation, and when the guards were about to arrive at Chen Tang's small courtyard, he stopped him, stepped forward and pushed the door in, and saw that the courtyard was dilapidated, frowned and shouted: "Chen Tang, Chen Tang." ”

Chen Tang was preparing items for a long trip in the house, when he heard someone call him, he came out of the house and saw the third master of the Chen family, that is, his father, Chen Tang and his two lives were smart and smart, and his heart sank, and his heart was not guaranteed this time, but he couldn't avoid it, in fact, his nominal father did send someone to kill him, Chen Tang stepped forward and bowed and said, "Father." However, the third master of the Chen family said something that surprised him.
