Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Meet Chapter 23 Goodbye Chen Xi
Taihe County is one of the thirteen counties of the Great Chu Dynasty, the hills and plains overlap and the paddy fields are uneven, although it is early summer, the rice fields are already green. Taihe has developed water conservancy, and farmers fill the paddy fields with water during the day and discharge it at night, and the doorway to this is the so-called life experience.
There are also some families who will put some shrimp seedlings commonly known as "big red claws" in the paddy fields, and then catch and sell them to restaurants in the city, which is also a lot of income.
There are 10,000 acres of farmland in the three cities and two counties of Taihe County, which feeds the grain of the entire Great Chu Dynasty, and even the soft and sweet rice is exported to other dynasties, and has the reputation of "Taihe fragrant rice".
"It's too familiar, it's big. That's exactly what describes the county.
However, when it comes to Taihe County, in addition to agriculture, the most well-known is that there is also a surname, that is, "Chen", "Taihe Chen". In Taihedi, the surname "Chen" is undoubtedly the most respected, and the reason is a mansion in the center of the county town of Taihe.
The plaque of the door of the wild grass gold character "Taihe Chen's" that existed when the Great Chu Dynasty opened the dynasty is the glory of the entire county. After the establishment of the dynasty, the Chen travelers traveled all over the land, and the Chen literati assisted the Gaoyang clan to build the country, and the Chen generals also made great contributions on the border of the human race.
There is a saying in the world that "poverty is no more than one life, and happiness is no more than three generations", but it seems that it will never become a proverb for this family that has stood for tens of thousands of years.
The patriarch of this generation of the Chen clan is Chen Xingzhi, who has just stepped down from the position of "Taishi", is a veritable Confucian, and his doctrine of "the unity of knowledge and action" is a compulsory course in private schools, and it is also one of the articles that must be examined in the imperial examination. Mrs. Chen occupies the official position of the "Three Princes", seeks her position in her politics, and makes countless suggestions and suggestions for the people's livelihood, and no one respects this old man.
As for the clansmen of this generation, there is Chen Cheng, one of the three major generals of Great Chu, Chen An, the Huangmenlang who has always been said to be a close minister of the king, and Chen Xingzhi's two sons, Yiwen and Wu, are all pillars of Great Chu.
As for the walkers, it is rumored that there are dozens of Chen walkers today.
The walker is the only criterion for truly measuring the clan.
The people of Taihe City will have admiration when they walk through the door of the not very luxurious mansion, but some people will sigh quietly, because the new generation of Chen is a little sluggish.
Although Mrs. Chen's granddaughter, Chen Yulin, is good in appearance and knowledge, and has a talented mood, but after all, she is a woman, even if she is practicing in that rainy fast, she will become a powerful practitioner in the future, but she will eventually get married one day.
And the only grandson of Mrs. Chen, the son of the general Chen Cheng, Chen Xi, is a well-known gentleman in the county town, fresh clothes and angry horses swagger through the market, lingering in the Qinglou and spending a lot of money, although he did not do anything to bully men and women, but he really can't see the Chen family's style and bones from him, and he can't see the hope of the Chen family's future.
Two years ago, the people of Taihe City heard that Chen Xi participated in the enrollment of the Ordinary Academy in Longhu City, although he was unable to enter the academy in the end, he also had the talent of "Lingjiang". The people didn't know what "Lingjiang" meant, but they only heard that the rumors were very powerful, so the fire of hope for this young master of the Chen family was rekindled in their hearts.
Chen Xi's practice in the Great Song Tianxing Sect attracted much attention, but after returning two years, Chen Xi was still the same Chen Xi, without the slightest change, riding the night jade lion to call friends and friends as chic and happy as ever.
After the meal, when the people talked about it, they all sighed with pity: How many generations of spirit, it is estimated that it will be finished in this generation.
On this day, Chen Xi did his boring homework and walked out of the mansion, and there were already people who had prepared the beloved cherished white horse, Chen Xi led the white horse and waved away the subordinates, did not jump high and sat down but walked in the county town with the rope, Chen Xi was dressed in white with a white horse, and the temperament of the big family was revealed.
Pedestrians were a little curious at the same time, how did this young master lead the horse on foot today, which was completely inconsistent with the style of galloping through the city on horseback in the past.
Chen Xi's face was expressionless, as if he was contemplative, so the passers-by had a daytime expression on their faces, and whispered to the people around them whether Chen Xi was reprimanded by the old lady, or whether he heard that the general Chen Cheng was going to return and make a show first, and the province was whipped all over his body.
Chen Xi naturally heard these whispers, and after smiling contemptuously, he didn't do anything. I have heard a lot of these words about him since I was a child, and they all say that he is not worthy of the Chen family.
Untouchables, this young master has a good life, you have to say it. Chen Xi thought.
In the bustling city, Chen Xi led a precious white horse dressed in expensive white satin, and there were whispers and scoldings everywhere that were not painful to him.
Chen Xi was about to turn over and get on the horse and find a friend to go to the Suyu Building to "eat vegetarian". When he was about to drive the horse to gallop when he sat on horseback, he was stunned when he saw a group of people not far in front of him, and after his eyes widened and confirmed repeatedly, the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile, as if he had met an old friend.
So Chen Xi "drove" hard with his legs, and after a loud horse neighing, the first two hooves were raised, and people avoided it.
BMW is naturally a BMW, and the body flow seems to be born for running, but it is not in the endless grassland, nor is it a special horse farm for the rich to gamble, but a lively market.
The night light jade lion knew the temperament of the master, just sprinkled the hooves, a piece of chickens and dogs jumped and ran straight forward, bumped into something and stepped on something, it didn't need to be responsible, so it looked at the group in front of it with humane indifference, and rushed straight away.
However, this thousand-mile horse, who had never been out of a county since he came to Dachu Taihe, never expected that the gray-clothed linen boy in front of him, who was either openly dodged or injured by being knocked away, would put a palm against his forehead and forcibly stopped his freedom to advance.
Chen Xigao sat on horseback, looked down with a proud expression and said, "Long time no see." ”
The gray-clothed linen boy's arm was slightly bent, and then straightened, and the thousand-pound white horse actually took a few steps back, and the pedestrians were stunned.
He clapped his hands and looked up at Chen Xi, his bright and clear eyes were full of smiles and said, "Long time no see, Chen Gongzi." ”
Chen Xi was still sitting on horseback, the corners of his mouth hooked.
The handsome man in white next to the gray-clothed linen boy frowned and said in a bad tone: "Riding a horse like this in the downtown area, are you not afraid of hitting people?"
Chen Xi glanced at him and felt that he shouldn't have come out in this dress today, and he had lost a little...... Momentum. He looked at the other three women with their own merits, and one of them was a cold beauty like a lotus, and he couldn't take his eyes off.
The handsome man from the south and the north found that his words were ignored, and the person in front of him actually looked at his companions with this kind of eyes, and he was very uncomfortable in his heart, and was about to make a move, when the people around him raised his hand and stopped him and said, "Brother Huan, I know him." ”
Ah Qing still smiled gently, raised his head and said, "It's not good to ride a horse like this." ”
These people are naturally the five people of Senior Brother and Sister Aqing, after leaving Xintao Village, they came to Taihe County from the mountains and rivers of Yuanqing County.
After sunset, they will live in a post station or take a carriage on the official road to go to nearby cities and counties, only need to pay more than a dozen dollars, and the groom will also talk about the special products of this place when driving.
In recent years, Shizi study tours have been popular, and the horsemen seem to regard Aqing and his five people as foreign tourists, because this year's Fuyao trial was held in Dachu.
Walking slowly all the way, it is natural to stop and look at the scenery on the side of the road, and each city and county has its own unique historical charm.
In the mountains and rivers, the troubles and worries that were stuffed in Ah Qing's heart when he left Xintao Village were swept away, and the boy was a teenager here after all.
The five of them traveled all the way, and they saw real students who traveled to study, saw characters in the rivers and lakes holding swords, and even saw a team of walkers who came from nowhere, among which the elders were full of fierce momentum.
This is the first time that Ah Qing has really gone far away, so he feels very new to everything.
The person in front of him was the first "acquaintance" he met along the way.
Chen Xi should have said: "This is my horse, I can ride it however I want." ”
Chen Xi looked at the soil bun in front of him, which was much taller than two years ago, and the smell of the soil bun was not so strong, thinking that the academy was really a good place, no wonder his grandfather and father respected it so much.
Chen Xi thought that he had walked into that academy two years ago, but he was going to go to the Great Song Tianxing Sect, so he was depressed. For this matter, Chen Xi was also beaten by the general Chen Cheng.
A-Qing said seriously: "This is your horse, but this is not your way." ”
Chen Xi laughed when he heard this, and said playfully: "Don't you know that the entire Taihe County belongs to my family?"
This sentence is a bit rampant, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. But Chen Xi said such things in the middle of the city, and the onlookers didn't feel that it was inappropriate.
The "Taihe Chen Family" given by the first king is the best proof.
Yuan Huanhuan rolled his eyes and said: "My temper is so short-tempered...", he took a few steps forward and came to the white horse, and quickly kicked the sturdy horse's hooves, directly kicking the white horse over, the horse turned over and the person did not look up, Chen Xi patted the horse's back and jumped high and landed steadily.
The onlookers exclaimed, not only for the courage and tough methods of this good-looking posterity, but also for Chen Xi's hand that had never been revealed.
Chen Xi said with a smile: "Is this going to be done?"
Yuan Huanhuan glanced at him and said, "I'm moving my legs." ”
"I won't fight you, I can't beat you. Chen Xi's words changed and said indifferently.
Yuan Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, and was a little caught off guard.
"I'm going to fight you!" Chen Xi said, pointing to Aqing, who was squatting and looking at the white horse's injury.
Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Xianhuan just let the horse lose balance and fall, and was not injured.
Ah Qing got up and patted his sleeve and asked, "Why?"
Chen Xi sneered: "I don't think you are worthy of studying in the academy. ”
Ah Qing didn't speak, just looked at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi pursed his lips and said, "I want to see what you have learned in the past two years, whether Lingshan's talent is really as terrifying as rumored." Because in my opinion, you will always be a dirt bun. ”
Ah Qing was expressionless, and after holding one hand, he stretched out his palm with one hand and put his five fingers together and said, "Then you can try it." ”
