Chapter 17: The Four Great Families

Lin Chen came to the edge of the courtyard and looked at it, and sure enough, there were a few scattered fireflies. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Each one had a light the size of a grain of rice, fainting slightly.

Lin Chen grabbed a small firefly and lowered his head in thought.

After a while, a satisfied smile rose into his mouth.

............

......

Suddenly, it was like the Qingyang River heading forward, bubbling and flowing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the eighteenth day of Qingqing.

On this day, Chen's Mansion was particularly lively. The house blows the sheng and drums, and the lanterns are colorful.

The faces of the people were all full of smiles. On days like this, they hate to be busy, but the reward is several times the usual.

Miss Qingqing's eighteenth birthday, it's a good day!

The door of the mansion was wide open, and Chen Lianshan and Xiao Yu had been greeting the guests in front of the door, and they were extremely busy.

When the guests came to the door, the couple greeted each other with smiling faces. But the little birthday star Qingqing has not shown the true face of Lushan on this day.

Even she didn't step out of the door of the boudoir all day, and the guests who came to celebrate Qingqing's birthday thought that Qingqing was too ugly and didn't dare to come out to meet people!

In an elegantly furnished, fragrant boudoir.

"Miss, are you still putting on makeup, how ugly are you going to paint yourself!" said Yin'er, the maidservant beside her, who couldn't bear it.

"It's just going to be ugly!" Qingqing said casually while drawing her eyebrows, "Anyway, I've been ugly for so many years, and I'm still awkward if I don't pretend to be ugly!"

"Miss, after that Lin Chen comes to the door, you shouldn't be ugly anymore, right?" Yin'er asked, "Speaking of which, he will come to the finale today to present a gift, and I know what kind of fame he can make!"

Thinking of Lin Chen, Qingqing was a little worried.

She stopped her paintbrush, turned her head and asked, "Yin'er, what kind of gift do you think he will bring?"

"It's really hard to guess! That Lin Chen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although he is a little poor, but his brain is very alive, maybe it is really a big surprise, he can win a full house!" Yin'er thought about it and looked forward to it.

"Originally, I said that I wouldn't accept gifts, but my mother didn't allow it!" Qingqing said a little worriedly, "This time, it's embarrassing for him! He has a bad background, he came from Xiling Mountain, and he probably will bring me some wild fruits from the mountains!"

"Huh?" Yin'er said with a little disappointment, "If it's really a few wild fruits, it's really miserable! I heard Xiaocui say, Yunxi Gongzi has prepared a priceless gift! This uncle, who hasn't passed the door yet, will be compared to others in public this time!"

"It's okay! Even if it's really a few wild fruits, I'm happy to eat them!" Qingqing continued to put on ugly makeup, "It's almost time, he, it should be almost there, right?"

"yes!

............

......

Mao time.

It's night, the moon is white and the wind is clear.

On the ground of the large square in the Chen Mansion, a red carpet is spread. The lights are brilliant and illuminate every place.

Tables and chairs are neatly arranged. The table is full of delicious food and wine, and the smell of it makes you speak.

The guests were seated and waiting for the table to begin. The people in the house are busy, interspersed back and forth in the aisles, passing on freshly prepared dishes.

In the center of the square, a small platform was erected. There is also a large round table on the stage, and only a few people sit around the round table.

Chen Lianshan and Xiao Yu are naturally on the list.

Qin Yunxi is the son of the city lord of Tianxing City, and he is also Xiao Yu's nephew, and he is also listed.

The rest of the people are also the most powerful people in Qingyang City.

The city lord Ning Heng, who is nine feet tall and has a straight back, is a middle-aged man with a cold face.

The head of the Qi family, Qi Jing, was a long-bearded old man, looking gloomy, and from time to time he rhythmically tapped the corner of the table with his index finger.

The head of the Hu family, Hu Poyun, is a strong man with a beard.

............

Qingyang City belonged to the Crescent Dynasty and was one of the fifteen cities in the southeast of the Crescent Dynasty.

Qingyang City is huge, headed by the city lord Ning Heng, and there are also four major families.

The four major families of Chen, Qi, Hu, and He have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but all of them have the strength to barely compete with the City Lord's Mansion.

There is no other reason, behind these families, there are powerful ancestors! They are so powerful that people like the city lord Ning Heng have to let the four major families develop.

This time, Qingqing's eighteenth birthday brought together a number of top giants in Qingyang City. Such a scene is rare!

"Eighteen years!" Ning Heng glanced at the table full of characters, and suddenly sighed, "I remember when Miss Qingqing was full moon, I waited here for a get-together! I didn't expect that eighteen years later, it would still be you old faces!"

Qi Jing stroked his long beard and chuckled: "We old things, half of our feet are about to step into the coffin, what can we do! In the future, it's not about looking at Qingqing and other juniors!"

"That's right!" Hu Poyun said proudly, "Speaking of juniors, my son Hu Tiansheng should be the best? He is now an inner disciple of the White Sun Sect, and he is just a little bit away from stepping into the Xuanyuan Realm!"

"I think it's still far away!" replied an old man with a childish face, "If you want to talk about the back, my grandson He Kuan is the real first! After he entered the Immortal Sect, he cultivated a thousand miles a day. Now he is only fifteen years old, and he is already in the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and Xuanyuan has enlightened the Dao, just around the corner!"

"What did you say! Dog Qi Chen, could it be that you forgot about it in vain......?

............

The three heads of the family said a word, and I said a word, and they were very happy.

Chen Lianshan, as the head of the first family, did not intervene, looking a little lonely.

Xiao Yu's expression, with a hint of obvious guilt, looked at Chen Lianshan, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Chen Lianshan quietly clenched her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Chen Lianshan knew that Xiao Yu was blaming himself for not bringing a talented man to the Chen family.

What is the current situation of the Chen family, Xiao Yu knows clearly. First, the ancestor has not appeared for many years, which makes people have to be suspicious. Many people speculate whether the ancestor of the Chen family has passed away! Second, Chen Lianshan is indeed a meritorious person, but Chen Qingqing, the only descendant of the Chen family, is much inferior to the descendants of the other major families.

For many nights, Chen Lianshan sighed at the moon, and he saw these Xiao Yu in his eyes, but he was helpless.

At this time, how Xiao Yu wanted to interject: "The descendants of our Chen family are no worse than yours at all!"

But she didn't have that courage.

"City Lord, several family masters!First time we met, the kid toasted you!" Qin Yunxi stood up and said politely, and immediately drank the sake in the cup.

"You, you must be the son of the City Lord of Heavenly Star City, Qin Yunxi, right?" Ning Heng nodded.
