Chapter 60: The Old Man in the House
"Look, how about this bracelet of mine, it still shines." A noble lady said so.
"Can it glow?"
"Luminous ????" Chenchen's ears, who were eavesdropping on the side, suddenly pricked up, could it be that it was the molten Jane they usually used as lamps?
"Is it the glow that comes from the infusion of psionic energy?" Sure enough, someone asked the same question as Chenchen.
"Yes, my bracelet has a tiny piece of molten tape here, which glows as long as it is infused with psionic energy." The lady raised her hand to demonstrate, and sure enough, a pale red gemstone in the center of the bracelet shone faintly.
"I've always heard that there is a process in this world that can process the five elements of Jane, but I haven't had the opportunity to see it, but today is an eye-opener for me. This bracelet is expensive, right? Chen Chen was fascinated by it, and involuntarily walked out to talk.
The lady obviously didn't expect someone to be so knowledgeable, so she blushed and said embarrassedly: "It's not an old man in my family, and he always changes the law to make me happy." ”
Naturally, the other people around him also cast envious eyes, "It's really good." "You guys have a good relationship." Words of praise and so on are endless.
Finally, the noble lady may have had enough of the praise, and suddenly turned her head and said, "Eh, this virtuous nephew is ......."
It's bad, Chen Chen said secretly in his heart. But at this moment, it is not realistic to want to run away again. He had to bite the bullet and say: "My surname is Chen, and my name is Chenchen." ”
"The surname is Chen...... Could it be the child of Lord Chen's family? No, I don't think they have any boys in their house......"
"Ao, my father and mother are just a businessman, and I have only recently arrived in Yanyang City, and I haven't decided how long I want to stay here, maybe I will have to set foot on the trip again next month." Chen Chen stared straight into the other party's eyes to make himself look more believable. (True - Lie without blinking)
How many people come in and out of the city every day, and how many are merchants who want to make a fortune here, they don't remember the name of every new merchant.
"O'...... I see. It seems that the other party believes it. However, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, otherwise sooner or later you will have to wear a goof. Chen Chen raised his hand and said in surprise: "Brother Zheng, are you here too?" With that, he hurriedly left here.
But Chen Chen didn't really say this just to get out, when he thought like this, he really saw Zheng Junnan, and of course he immediately greeted him.
At this moment, Zheng Junnan is standing behind an adult man, as if he is sorting out the hem of his clothes. Zheng Junnan is already tall for his peers, but the man's waist is enough to hold two of him, and he is also very tall, standing out from the crowd.
Chen Chen came to them, looked at Zheng Junnan, and then looked at the man in front of him, and said, "Presumably this is Ling Zun." Zheng Junnan nodded, "I've seen Uncle Zheng." ”
"Hahahaha," Zheng Junnan's father is not only tall and big, but also shocking when he speaks, "You must be Chenchen, my family Junnan always mentions your ...... to me"
Zheng Junnan next to him patted his forehead and twisted his head, his father secretly looked at his son, and said stumblingly: "Uh...... I, under the name Zheng Li, the general of the Pyeongchang Guozhen...... Today, today to see friends, children? ”
Zheng Junnan sighed and said, "Virtuous nephew." ”
"Ah yes, it's a great honor to meet my nephew......"
Chen Chen finally couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this, the father and son couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Zheng doesn't have to be polite, just like I call you Uncle Zheng, you can call me whatever you want." The way you speak is also as casual as you like. ”
"Hahaha, okay, happy, I like your temperament, then I will call you Chenchen in the future. Hahaha......" Zheng Li said.
"To be honest, I can't get used to the hypocritical behavior of people in the city, and today it was to give him Fan Zuolin's face, so I came to his banquet. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have been able to go even if he invited me many times. ”
"Dad......" Zheng Junnan pulled the corner of Zheng Li's clothes.
"What's that, Uncle Zheng, I want to go around here with Jun Nan, okay?" Chen Chen rubbed his temples, he really couldn't cope with this father for a long time.
"Okay, let's go."
After Chen Chen saluted him again, he left with Zheng Junnan.
The entire Fan Mansion Chenchen already understood, and Chen Chen took Zheng Junnan on the path to enjoy the scenery next to him while chatting.
"My father is like this, which makes Brother Chen smile." Zheng Junnan said to Chen Chen.
"No, no, Lord Ling Zun has a bold personality and treats people very sincerely, how can you laugh." Chen Chen said with a smile.
"Alas," Zheng Junnan sighed and said, "You should also know that my father was a soldier and spent his whole life on the battlefield. His biggest regret is that he has not gone to school and has no education. Therefore, he taught me from a young age that I should be knowledgeable and reasonable, and not follow in his footsteps and be as rude as him...... That's why he sent me to Jianghan Academy. ”
Chen Chen nodded, so it was.
"Speaking of which, why have I never heard Brother Chen talk about his family. Oh, and if there's anything inconvenient, just don't say it. (You go and ask a few nobles just now, and you will know about Chenchen's family/laughs)
"There's nothing inconvenient, I haven't seen my parents since I was a child, they left me to my grandparents in the village and disappeared, and my grandparents have always brought me up. As for our village...... Our village is full of hunters, and occasionally we grow crops to support our families. Chen Chen said calmly.
"That's how it is...... I'm sorry. Zheng Junnan said sincerely.
"I don't need to apologize, although I didn't have parents when I was a child, I never felt that I lacked anything, and the rest of the village never looked down on me because of this, but everyone treated me as if I was their own child."
"That's ...... Hearing Brother Chen say this, I also became interested in where you grew up. ”
"Okay, when you go to our village, we will definitely entertain you."
“…………”
Chen Chen and Zheng Junnan walked all the way, chatting all the way, and before they knew it, the sun had already supported the mountain, and the sky had dimmed.
When the light in the air was scarce, the lanterns placed everywhere lit up, and the warm red light replaced the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and the crowd gradually grew, and the atmosphere of the banquet became even thicker.
Just as Chen Chen and Zheng Junnan were sitting in the pavilion to rest, a servant in a red robe came over and said respectfully: "Both, the banquet is about to begin, please come down." ”
