Hecheng is a small county, if it weren't for the emperor of Emperor Changzong, I am afraid that it would still be an unknown county seat.

The largest ancestral hall in Hecheng is the Chen family ancestral hall, and the Huai princess Chen is the second person to rise in the Chen family after the emperor.

When it comes to the Chen family, people of a little age in Hecheng can gossip a little.

This Chen family is really evil, out of the emperor and out of the princess, but the Chen family is still the same Chen family.

It seems that the children of the clan have been robbed by that emperor, and there has never been a child of the scholars.

And the fate of the female dependents in the clan is also ordinary, after having such a princess, they are still married to ordinary people, even if there are families who marry scholars, they have repeatedly failed, just like there is a spell, and the female dependents of the Chen family have become more and more difficult in recent years.

After the Huaiwangfu and his party entered Hecheng in a mighty way, there was no imaginary mezzanine welcome, only the people sat on the scattered stalls on the side of the road and gossiped, occasionally glanced at the guards on the tall horses, and hurriedly withdrew their gaze.

"This is the princess of the Chen family?"

"It must be, when has such a big team come to our county! Look at the glittering gold on the wheels of that carriage, I bet it must be gold! ”

"Oh! It's amazing! This princess is coming back this time, and the Chen family is going to be developed! ”

"That's not necessarily, how many years has this princess been married, isn't the Chen family just like that......"

"At this time and that time, I see, the ancestral tomb of the Chen family will always smoke this time. Eh, I said Maohu, your nephew and daughter-in-law seem to be the girl of the Chen family, right?! What about your nephew going to the back alley twice in three days? Go back and pick up your ears and let him have a snack. In case your nephew and daughter-in-law sue in front of the princess, your family will be finished, I heard that this noble man loves the Jiu clan the most, ouch, I won't tell you, so as not to be implicated by your family. ”

"You are the only one who punishes the nine clans, and your whole family punishes the nine clans! No... It can't be true, right? Hey! You... Don't go! No, I have to go back and talk to my wife. ”

In an instant, the people in this stall were evacuated, and the people in the other stalls who heard these words all looked at the sky and carefully pulled their relatives to see if they had anything to do with the Chen family.

Even if the relatives have turned countless corners, they have to pat their thighs whenever they think of it, and quickly and neatly go to other people's doors and say that they must not offend the Chen family again.

For a while, the street corners and alleys were full of people, so it was not lively!

The carriage drove all the way to the ancestral house of the Chen family, only to see an old man with a big drought tobacco in his hand.

The old man leaned against the stone lion with countless cracks in the doorway, not knowing what he was thinking, and his cloudy eyes had not yet reacted when he saw the large group of people stopped in front of him.

It wasn't until a woman in a fancy costume got down from the carriage, rushed up a few steps and grabbed her scarred hands, and shouted Daddy with a crying voice, that the old man trembled away from the stone lion he was leaning on, and tried to look at the woman with a blurred face with wide eyes.

"Is it Sister Yan?"

The bellows-like throat was silent, and after a few words were dryly spoken.

After standing outside for a long time, I felt that my mouth was dry, and I couldn't spit out words anymore for a while.

The tears that were still rolling in Chen's eyes finally broke the embankment after hearing this sound of Sister Yan, who was like a child in another world.

Tears fell on his thin and dark hands, and the old man quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

Restlessly, he wiped the corner of his washed white clothes, and stretched out his hand to wipe Chen's tears, and when he reached halfway through it, he fell down again as if he remembered something, and smiled, trying to suppress the urge to cough.

"Old... The old slave offended the princess, and the old slave waited for the princess for a long time, so he invited the princess to sit in the house, hehe, yes, that one to sit in the house. ”

"The Mother ......"

Chen wanted to say something more, but Song Zhan stepped forward in time to reach out and hold her wrist, and motioned for Chen to follow the old man inside.

The old man's movements were very slow, and Chen stretched out his hand to help him, but he couldn't help it, and gestured to Mingyue on the other side of him with his eyes.

Mingyue nodded, let go of the hand holding Chen, endured nausea and stepped forward to hold the old man's shriveled wrist, his face was slightly sideways, showing a quiet smile, and said to the old man softly.

"Old man, walk slowly, I'll help you."

The old man didn't even dare to say it, but he didn't really withdraw his hand, because he knew that he was going to lead everyone in the palace into the house, and he was afraid that he would have to walk for half an hour.

The anxious members of the Chen family who were waiting in the hall stretched their necks to look out, but no one dared to step out of the main hall and run outside.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

I don't know who shouted, everyone in the hall was sitting in a precarious position, looking down at the tea and looking at the sleeves, looking at the sleeves, and looking at the floor tiles without anything to look at, as if flowers bloomed on the gray floor tiles.

"Ahem—"

Old Patriarch Chen's cough sounded, and everyone raised their heads one after another, suppressing the gushing emotions, and stood up one by one to salute the old man.

When the old patriarch walked back to the crowd with the support of a woman in brocade, he turned to the Huai Wangfu and his party, and everyone saluted Chen Yan, the princess of Huai, and Song Zhan, the prince of Huai.

Chen Yan looked at the mainstay of the Chen family in her memory and was now dying, and she was full of emotion for a while, and she was forced to accept the bow of everyone in the clan, and then she was busy asking to get up.

Compared with Princess Huai's excitement, Song Zhan was very calm, his eyebrows and eyes didn't move, and he watched a room of old and young people kneeling down and kowtowing and getting up again.

As the concubine sat down, Song Zhan glanced at the people standing in the hall.

From birth to the present, I have only heard my mother talk about the Chen family on the way south, but it is also the Chen family in the memory of my mother twenty years ago.

After the Chen family and Song Zhan sat down, the old patriarch Chen took the lead in sitting down first, and a bunch of people who were qualified to sit in the back sat down, and the young people who were not qualified all stood behind the representatives of each family.

Everyone looked at this princess of the Chen family curiously, who came back to worship her ancestors for the first time in twenty years, and her gorgeous clothes and hair were full of pearls and emeralds, which dazzled everyone's eyes.

Hecheng County is really not a good place, it is a little poorer than the surrounding counties, most of the people are self-sufficient, and the scattered stalls and shops are all sold cheap goods from outside, and no one buys the expensive ones.

There is a private school in the county, or the Chen family's emperor returned to his hometown after the money to build, the current teacher is also an old man of the Chen family, the Chen family has a few people, but no one has ever entered high school.

It is enough to raise people's cultural level to teach young children enlightenment, but the strange thing is that even if some families hope that their children will gain fame and fame, they will be disappointed to go to other places to study. Hecheng has never had an official again, and over time, people here let their children read and learn calligraphy just to avoid being blind, or to have the identity of a child to be a master in the county.

The county magistrate of Hecheng County knew that the princess's carriage and horse had arrived at the ancestral house of the Chen family, and he hesitated in the county office for a long time, and finally did not go to the unlucky Chen family to meet him.

Why?

It's not that after the emperor of the Chen family returned to his hometown, he thought he was holding his thick thighs, who knew that he had done this broken county order for more than ten years, and there was no intention of letting himself move his nest at all, so that the money that went up was finally returned, and after inquiring for a long time, he only got an unknown sentence "Hecheng is like this".

In his previous Hecheng County order, he did not have this, and he went to Beijing to report on his work once in five years, although he failed to stay in Beijing, but he was also promoted in disguise by changing places.

Why is it my turn to be so unlucky, all of this started after the emperor of the Chen family returned to his hometown, the Chen family is a big curse, and he can't even take all the families in Hecheng to get ahead.

Originally, every household in Hecheng respected that emperor, although the Chen family did not have any great success in the court and the opposition, but after all, it was a big banner in the government and the opposition.

Later, the emperor told the old man to return to his hometown, and the people were also in awe of the Chen family, and sure enough, the holy decree came later, and the Chen family had a princess, and that was the princess!

Compared with the Chen family, the impact of the princess is greater, and the world acquiesces to the practice of promoting the maiden family of a woman who marries into a wealthy family, although the Chen family, the emperor, has not improved in the court and the opposition for many years, but this time the princess is out, it is different.

Who knew that once the princess got married, there was no news again.

Those who fancy the benefits of the princess and marry the Chen family are declining day by day, and the children of the clan have never entered high school again, and for twenty years, the Chen family has been a curse, that is, the acquiescence of every family in Hecheng.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the situation of everyone in the Chen family is becoming more and more difficult, and Chen Yan, the princess of Huai, who is well-maintained and graceful, looks at the elders and relatives of the clan who have been weathered, but the pain in her heart is in her throat, and she can't spit it out, and a thousand words can only be turned into one sentence.

"It's all gone...... The Chen family, the Chen family has finally come out! ”

The Chen family has waited for too many years for this sentence, and at this moment it finally came, but everyone didn't dare to react much, for fear that this was a dream, and everything would come to naught if they were not careful.

When everyone slowly accepted this beautiful reality, the crowd suddenly became lively, everyone was eager to try, and Princess Huai's eyes fell on the navy blue robe man in the seat of the old father's hand.

"Big Brother ......"

"The princess has tormented the slaves."

The man stood up and bowed his hand respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, even if there were three or four patches of similar colors on his robe, it would not damage his human character.

The mainstay of the Chen family has really inherited the style of the emperor. Song Zhan looked at the eldest uncle he met for the first time, and he also felt some emotion in his heart.

Looking at the immature Chen family relatives under the hall, Song Zhan secretly shook his head, time is a sharp blade, after all, it destroys some things and breeds some things.

The past cannot be traced, but the future can still be learned. I hope the Chen family won't disappoint the concubine.
