Five days later, the spring festival begins.

The entire Chen family was decorated with extraordinary festivity, and the first thing today was to worship the ancestors. The elders of the clan are all concentrated in the ancestral hall, and the juniors are all standing in the courtyard outside the ancestral hall under the leadership of their parents, and the entire ancestral hall is crowded with people, but Chen Feng is a little melancholy at this time, after all, other peers are accompanied by their parents, and his closest grandmother has to worship in the ancestral hall and can't get out. However, Lin Zhongying had already thought of this, and asked his nephew Lin Rengui to attend the entire worship event as Chen Feng's family.

The whole activity was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the patriarch Chen Zhongyi, and at this moment, there was a quarrel outside the door, "No, you can't go in!"

"We came to worship our ancestors, why can't we go in?" At the same time, the door of the ancestral hall courtyard was pushed open heavily. When they saw several people pushing the door in, the people in the ancestral hall looked at them with hostility. Ignoring people's eyes, the leader walked straight into the ancestral hall. "Junior, Chen Yunhai, has seen all the seniors," and then deliberately lengthened his voice, "Meet Master Lin's mother." Although Lin Zhongying is the widow of the head of the previous family, she is a foreign surname after all, but she has become one of the decision-makers of the Chen family. "Chen Yunhai, Lin Zhongying's position has been confirmed by all the elders of the Council of Elders, and you can't be presumptuous here!" an elder in the ancestral hall scolded sharply.

Chen Yunhai was also not annoyed, "Yes!" humbly accepted.

"What are you doing today from the Chen family of the Southern Courtyard?" Lin Zhongying asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask. Chen Yunhai had expected that they would ask this question before, and he had already prepared his words. "Of course, I came to worship the ancestors! Although our Nanyuan Chen family was established by the Chen family expelees, but the body is still flowing with the blood of the ancestors of the Chen family, on this important day, in order to express my respect for the ancestors, I would like to represent all the people of the Chen family in the South Courtyard to come here to worship the ancestors. ”

As soon as Chen Yunhai finished speaking, an elder in the ancestral hall sneered, "Hmph! I have forgotten all the that your ancestors have done! What kind of shame do you think you have to stand here so presumptuously?"

Chen Yunhai didn't refute, "Yes, yes, what you said is that the ancestor did something wrong back then, but his old man had already woken up in his old age, repented and reformed, and even abolished his martial arts to clarify his will, and this matter has passed one hundred and twenty or thirty years, although some elders in the hall have experienced this incident, but the matter does not implicate the descendants, we descendants are deeply aware of the mistakes of the ancestors, and as the descendants of the ancestors of the Chen family, we can't give this small request to worship the ancestors?" Chen Yunhai cleverly kicked the ball back to the people in the ancestral hall. The Great Elder Chen Zhiyun, who had not spoken, said, "You are people who have been eliminated from the genealogy, if you want to worship the ancestors in this ancestral hall, according to the rules of the Chen family, it is impossible, unless we take the initiative to invite you to return to the Chen family, of course, I think it must be that you are reluctant and I am unwilling." Otherwise, in the children's examination two years later, if the ranking of your Chen family in the South Courtyard is higher than that of our North Courtyard, you can go back to the ancestral hall to worship at the spring festival every year, if not, your Chen family in the South Courtyard will not mention this matter in the future. Hearing Chen Zhiyun's words, Chen Yunhai's face was happy, but everyone in the ancestral hall was full of sadness, this is not a disguised waterproof for the Chen family in the South Courtyard, everyone knows that since Chen Qingling, the Chen family in the North Courtyard has never won the first place in the children's test, and every time it is the bottom, it is not that the Chen family in the North Courtyard has been reduced to a situation where there is no talent, and the other four clans can be bullied casually, on the contrary, as the oldest family in Huai'an City, the Chen family's heritage is not comparable to the other four families, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so the other four clans have united because of their interests and made a stumbling block for the Chen family in the children's test。 But the words have been spoken, and the people of the Chen family in the North Courtyard are not good at saying anything.

"That's good, a word is a deal, the junior will say goodbye!" With a satisfactory result, Chen Yunhai left happily.

After Chen Yunhai and the others left, Chen Feng gently pulled Lin Rengui's sleeve, "Uncle Lin, who are they, why do you hate them so much." ”

"I only learned about it after I came to the Chen family," Lin Rengui carefully told Chen Feng, "According to legend, one hundred and forty or fifty years ago, the Chen family gave birth to a strange son, and when he was born, he was full of evil spirits. His father named Chen Sha according to this. Due to his extraordinary talent, the Chen family focused on cultivating him as the key to regaining his prestige, however, as he grew older, Chen Sha became more and more severely affected by evil qi, and his thinking became more animalistic, and anyone who approached him at will be attacked by him. Although the evil qi affected his mind, the speed with which his cultivation had progressed shocked everyone. At the age of twenty, he stepped into the realm of the Little Heavenly Position, but after the ferocity was assisted by great power, its destructive power was very amazing. After killing the guards of the elders, Chen Xu rushed into Huai'an City, setting off a bloody storm in the city, and after discovering this, the Chen family immediately sent a master of the clan to stop it. After paying a terrible price, Chen Sha was finally captured by the Chen family, just when the Chen family was about to execute Chen Sha, a golden-robed monk appeared, and the monk told the Chen family that Chen Sha's evil spirit could be expelled, but he must be asked to bring people back to Admiralty Temple to ask his senior brothers to take action together, so that it could be completed. But how could the Chen family let go of this person who had caused the Chen family heavy losses and was extremely infamous! At this moment, Chen Xu's parents came out, "Let our unqualified parents bear the fault of the son," and the two of them killed themselves. After thinking twice, the Chen family asked the senior monk to take Chen Sha away. A year later, Chen returned to Huai'an, but because of the severity of his mistakes, the Chen family expelled him from the family tree. In order to be vigilant at all times, Chen Xu lived in the south of Huai'an City, and then the Chen family in Nancheng slowly developed. Later, in order to make it easier to distinguish the two Chen families, the people of Huai'an City called the Chen family in the north of the city the Chen family in the north courtyard, and the Chen family in the south of the city as the Chen family in the south courtyard. ”

"Oh, I see. Chen Feng suddenly realized.

Although Chen Yunhai came over to interrupt the ceremony, under the auspices of Chen Zhongyi, the ceremony quickly returned to normal. At this time, Chen Qingling was still worried about what had just happened, and her experience of participating in the children's test was still unforgettable. The children of the Chen family were isolated and hostile to the other four children, and it was a complete coincidence that they won the championship. Even now that she thinks about it, Chen Qingling was shocked that the child at that time had such a deep scheming at such a young age. Later, considering the need to protect the descendants of the Chen family, the Chen family asked the children who participated in the children's test to be supervised by the supervisor, which was actually a disguised abandonment. After the Great Elder made a promise, Chen Qingling was worried that the Chen family of the Southern Courtyard would do something out of the ordinary for the sake of victory, but since the Great Elder had already made a decision, the junior could only comply, "I hope there will be no problems in this children's test", Chen Qingling prayed silently.
