The reason why accidents are called accidents is that they come quietly at the moment when people are most unprepared.

No matter how carefully planned you have been before this, no matter how meticulous your planning, when the unexpected strikes, everything will be in vain.

The date of the Qin family comparison was set at a very early age, not to mention that Qin Yan is now just a nominal eldest lady, even if she has become the heir of Shantang, it is impossible to postpone this matter because of Xia Sheng's unexplained disappearance.

As early as today, when the sky was slightly bright, there was already an endless stream of distinguished guests in front of the Qin family.

In the competition of the nine great families and the recruitment of the three major academies, the Qin family was the first to start, so of course, the number of distinguished guests who came to visit today was also the most.

Forty-six of the seventy-two sects came, and the lowest one was also an elder, in addition to the Qin family itself, the other eight families, whether they were rooted in Luoyang or not, all sent people to watch the ceremony, and even the Weining Hou Mansion, which had always been at odds with the Qin family, also came to a panting fat man.

In addition, among the three major academies, Spring and Autumn Academy occupies a favorable location, so the person who came is the heaviest among all the guests, and it is a genuine branch president!

Although Yang Fuxiu, who came from the Imperial Academy, was not strong, his seniority was extremely high, and now he was even more expensive as the prince and emperor, which could be regarded as a competition with Dean Tang of the Spring and Autumn Academy to a certain extent.

In comparison, the person sent by the Heavenly Star Academy was a little shabby, but he still didn't dare to be despised because he was a well-known genius boy among the younger generation in today's cultivation world.

Murong returns late!

As one of the nine great families of the Dajin Dynasty, the Murong family naturally sent a family offering to watch the ceremony this time, but from beginning to end, Murong never showed the slightest closeness to the old worship in the family, but instead looked like a businessman, and even when he talked in private, he also held the identity of a student of the Tianxing Academy, and never exceeded the courtesy.

In terms of the imperial court, naturally a special person was also sent to participate in this grand event, and Xiang Shaoru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was present at the scene in person, not to mention, and a big man who was rare for everyone to see also came.

It is the most trusted old eunuch of His Majesty today, Zhao Gonggong.

Regarding how high the status and noble status of this Zhao Gonggong is, there is no need to say more, just mention one point......

His surname is Zhao.

Zhao Gonggong was the last of everyone to arrive, but no one dared to express their dissatisfaction, especially when they saw the scroll of holy decrees that Zhao Gonggong was carrying in his arms, they couldn't help but look at the Qin family with envy.

Counting the entire Dajin Dynasty today, I am afraid that the only one who can be trusted by the emperor is the Qin Family Shantang.

Zhao Gonggong smiled and came to the main seat of the venue to sit down, and did not wait for a moment, and then read out the holy decree in public, the content of which is nothing more than to encourage the younger generation to practice hard and serve the country in the future, but the most surprising thing is that at the end of the holy decree, it was announced that the leader of the Qin family this time can be crowned as an official doctor and enter the palace to receive a reward.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the big fat man who came to watch the battle on behalf of the Weining Marquis Mansion couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the hot sweat on his head, and muttered: "It seems that Your Majesty's favor to the Qin family has not diminished, but has become more prosperous!"

On the other hand, Bi Qingwen was also full of horror, but when he turned his head, he found that his eldest lady was a little absent-minded.

"Miss!"

"Huh?" Qin Yan looked at Bi Qingwen in a bit of a daze, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Did you hear that? The leader of this clan can be crowned an official doctor and enter the palace to receive a reward!"

"Oh. ”

Qin Yan responded rather perfunctorily, and then fell into silence again, and the uneasiness between her eyebrows seemed to become a little thicker.

Seeing this, Bi Qingwen couldn't help but sigh slightly, as the only person who could be trusted by Qin Yan's side now, of course he knew why all this was done, but he didn't have anything to do.

Thinking of this, Bi Qingwen couldn't help but clench his fists, and looked back at the gate of the venue again, but he never saw the familiar figure appear.

"Young Master Xia, where have you been at such an important juncture!"

No one could hear this cry in Bi Qingwen's heart, in fact, even if someone heard it, I am afraid they would not care, because at the same time, an old man who was enough to attract the attention of thousands of people walked slowly from afar.

The old man has no one to support him, and there is no one to accompany him, so he looks a little alone, but it doesn't make people feel depressed.

His face is covered with deep brown spots, and the endless wrinkles are like mountains and ravines, representing the vicissitudes of time, but his eyes are extraordinarily bright, as if he can see through all the causes and effects in this world, and can also pierce the darkest secrets of people's hearts.

The old man's back bowed slightly, holding a black jade cane in his hand, exuding radiant warmth, although he walked slowly, he stepped on every step very steadily, making people wonder if there would be shocking footprints left in the places he passed.

The appearance of the old man immediately made the venue silent, and everyone, including Zhao Gonggong, Dean Tang and Yang Fuxiu, regardless of status, seniority, and strength, couldn't help but stand up to show his greatest respect.

In front of the old man's name, there are many prefixes, such as the chief shopkeeper of Shantang, such as the ancestor of the Qin family, and then the head of the household, he also has many names in the world, such as Qin Banchao, and then Qin Dashanren, but his name can always make people who hear it for the first time feel extremely friendly.

Qin Xiaohua.

The flowers of spring and autumn moon, the flowers of flowers, are likewise the flowers of fire trees and honeysuckle.

At this time, Qin Xiaohua's appearance also seemed to add a bit of vitality in this autumn wind, not only did not make people feel the oppressive force of facing the legend, but made people feel that he was just an ordinary little old man.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.

Qin Xiaohua walked very slowly, and it took him a cup of tea to complete the distance of less than a hundred zhang, but no one dared to express dissatisfaction with this, let alone complain, everyone looked at him with only awe and rightful admiration.

Qin Xiaohua walked slowly to the front of the main seat, bowed slightly to Zhao Gonggong and the others, and then raised her hand, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a smile: "Don't be too restrained, big guys, I'm just a bad old man who stepped into the coffin with half a foot, if you make any fuss, take care of yourself." ”

Qin Xiaohua's words did not have the demeanor of the head of the family at all, but more like the elders of the neighborhood, and the tone was innate and easy-going, as if it had special magic, which immediately made everyone present relax their emotions, and unconsciously, the scene became lively again.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaohua bent down and sat down without hurrying, and at the same time, Wei Xianfeng, who had been waiting for a long time, also paced to the front, and announced loudly: "Please sit down first, after half a pillar of incense, the clan competition will officially begin!"
