What a coincidence
Wanhua Building, in the No. 1 box of Tianzi.
Chen Zhizhi hugged the two charming ladies, looked at Bai Min who was eating with his head bored on the opposite side and the two restaurant ladies who were a little embarrassed around him, and said with a smile: "You go down, he doesn't like this." ”
"Yes." The two women hurried out of the box as if they were amnesty. They had never seen such a teenager in their lives, and they could still concentrate on eating under their teasing, and for a while, the two top accompans of Wanhualou felt that they still had a lot of room for improvement.
"You didn't say you had to ask for a drink when you came here to eat." Seeing that the woman beside him was gone, Bai Min dared to speak.
"You know what, this is the specialty of this restaurant." Chen didn't know how to roll his eyes at Bai Min.
I shouldn't have taken him out, it's like letting the wolf into the flock, Bai said compassionately. He shook his head and said no more.
Chen didn't know how to take a sip of the wine poured for him by the woman on the left, and eat a sip of the food that the woman on the right fed him; Occasionally kiss the delicate faces of the women, pinch their slender waists, and just when they are not happy, the door of the box is opened.
Three people walked in outside the door, and in front of them was a middle-aged man with a straight face, wearing a blue and white silk robe, and a scholar with a smile on his face and a Confucian shirt, followed by the boss of Wanhualou.
Chen didn't know how to see someone coming, his face became extremely ugly, and he suddenly froze when he held the girls' hands: "Dad, Seventh Uncle, what a coincidence." ”
Chen didn't know how to say hello with a smile, but he couldn't laugh.
"What a coincidence, eldest nephew." The man in the Confucian shirt smiled, his smile was very warm, so warm that Chen Zhizhi was cold.
The man in the blue and white silk shirt had a straight face, didn't say a word, and stared at Chen Zhizhi deadly.
Bai Min glanced at the two of them and stood up silently, although his face was not ugly, it was not very good.
He was in awe of these two men, and he was in awe of them in his heart.
As an ancient family that has lasted for thousands of years, the Chen family has always been very prosperous, but now, there are only three descendants of the Chen family in the real sense. They are Chen Qingfeng, Chen Qingming and Chen Buzhi.
Chen Qingfeng is Chen's father, and Chen Qingming is Chen Zhizhi's seventh uncle, the man in a Confucian shirt.
Twenty years ago, the head of the Chen family died, and Chen Qingfeng, the son of the Chen family, ascended to the position of the head of the Chen family.
According to the law of Da Yue, if the father has no will, the eldest son inherits most of his father's property. It stands to reason that Chen Qingsheng cannot become the head of the family.
However, on the night when the head of the Chen family died, except for Chen Qingfeng and his younger brother Chen Qingming, the other descendants of the head of the family died, and Chen Qingfeng, as the eldest son, succeeded to the throne smoothly.
It is said that that night, the streets of Chen's mansion were full of blood, and the entire Xijing City was plunged into chaos.
There are even rumors that the head of the Chen family did not die that night.
It was only after that night that the world realized how terrible the brothers were.
Chen, who is familiar with history, naturally knows this story, so although the two brothers have always been kind to him, they often make Bai Min tremble.
Such a character is not something he can speculate, it is precisely because he can't understand it that he is afraid.
"Long time no see, little mercy." Chen Qingming greeted Bai Min with a smile.
"Uncle Seventh is good, Uncle Chen is good." Bai Min nodded with some trepidation. He called Chen Qingfeng Uncle Chen, and Chen Qingming called Uncle Seven.
"It's my problem, I shouldn't have taken him to such a place, and I didn't take the responsibility of supervising him." Bai Min knew that Chen was not going to escape, and tried to help him share some of the responsibilities.
"Xiao Min, don't talk to this rebel!" Chen Qingfeng spoke, his voice majestic.
"Uncle Chen, listen to me." Before Bai Min finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Qingming's hearty voice, "What you have done these days, I don't know what you have done, someone has told us, and even where you have been, we know how to find here." ”
"This ......," Bai Min didn't know what to say.
"I came by myself, it has nothing to do with Lao Bai, he didn't stop me a lot." Chen didn't know how to lower his head, so that people couldn't see his expression.
……
Chen's house.
In the front yard, Bai Min stood in front of Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingming.
"Xiao Min, you have done a good job, and I know all about your urging of ignorance. I don't know if I have you as a friend, I'm very relieved. I know everything about Pei Zongmin, you don't have to think too much. Chen Qingfeng looked at Bai Min like an ordinary gentle elder, and his expression was also very kind.
Bai Min just nodded, he was a little depressed in front of these two people, and he didn't say much.
"Isn't it curious how we know this?" Chen Qingming, as always, smiled at the corners of his mouth, looking at the sunshine and cheerfulness.
"Yes." Bai Min nodded again, even if the housekeeper or servant leaked the usual affairs, but they were going to Wanhualou, and they did not tell the housekeeper and servant, how did Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingming know?
"After all, the eldest nephew is my Chen family's sister-in-law, and there is always someone to protect him." Chen Qingming explained, "There is a master who has been following you, and when he saw you enter Wanhua Tower, he came back to inform me and my eldest brother." ”
"Master? What realm? Thinking that there was a master who had been following him, Bai Min felt a little uncomfortable, and his words were a little bolder.
"Asked." Chen Qingming said lightly.
"So strong?"
"Yes, don't tell my eldest nephew, he wants to know that there is such a master to protect him, wouldn't he want to go to heaven? However, he was punished by his eldest brother for half a month, and he had to go to heaven when he came out. Chen Qingming knew his nephew very well and made an estimate.
"Uncle Seven, are you coming back?" Bai Min didn't know how to pick it up, so he changed the subject.
Chen Qingming has been staying in the capital on weekdays, dealing with the affairs of the capital, and is the spokesperson of the Chen family in the capital.
"Kicked out." Chen Qingming's expression remained unchanged, and his words were frivolous.
"What?" Bai Min was stunned, not only shocked by Chen Qingming's expulsion out, but also a little speechless by his frivolous tone.
You still look careless about such a big thing? Chen doesn't know if it's Uncle Seven, right? I think he's a little bit more like you. Bai Min slandered in his heart.
"The eldest brother entered Beijing to face the saint and said something, and then His Majesty asked us to leave." Chen Qingming explained.
"Huh? What was said? Chen didn't know what kind of words could make His Majesty directly shout at the Chen family to get out of the capital.
"The eldest brother said that most of the current officials are doing nothing, and asked the imperial court to allow the people to participate in the imperial examination and select talents."
A thunderbolt exploded in Bai Min's brain, shaking his scalp numb. I dare to say this kind of thing in the academy, and you go directly to the emperor to say it? Are you directly at the enemy of the entire class? Bai Min looked at Father Chen with a shocked face.
Chen Qingfeng nodded, admitting that he had done so.
Bai Min's awe of Father Chen turned into admiration.
"Big brother, this is also trying to pave the way for you." Chen Qingming continued.
Is there even a reason for me? Bai Min knew very well in his heart that he would definitely not be the main reason why Father Chen did this, but after all, he still took himself into account. Thinking of this, Bai Min felt a little warm in his heart.
"Xiao Min, don't think about it, it's mainly to rectify the chaos." Chen Qingfeng glared at Chen Qingming, "Just talk too much." ”
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." Chen Qingming nodded frantically, and his handsome face was full of perfunctory.
"Xiao Min, since you have entered the path of cultivation, then cultivate well, the avenue of cultivation, how difficult it is, you can only go long way by working steadily, don't be impetuous." Chen Qingfeng has always regarded Bai Min as a nephew, and he can't help but nag a few words.
Bai Min looked at Chen Qingfeng with some gratitude and nodded.
"By the way, you've been washing the marrow a few times." Chen Qingfeng asked, he hadn't been back to Xijing for more than half a year, and he could only see that Bai Min had entered the marrow, but he couldn't see the specific realm.
"Once."
“……”
The air was instantly silent.
Chen Qingfeng was a little unresponsive, "How many times?" ”
"Once." Bai Min repeated.
"Hahaha, Xiao Min, why did you still learn to joke, you weren't like this before." Chen Qingming smiled, his face full of disbelief, perhaps because Bai Min's expression was too calm when he spoke.
"It's really once, I was baptized five days ago." Bai Min said seriously.
Chen Qingfeng stepped forward directly and grabbed Bai Min's arm.
Bai Min felt a warm current flow from his arm into his body and out again.
"It's really much stronger than Luo Qing back then." Chen Qingfeng's words were calm, but he could still see the slightest shock in his expression.
Chen Qingming couldn't laugh anymore, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were huge, and his usually cunning and shrewd eyes were now only question marks.
Luo Qing was a former disciple of the Chen family, and now he is a peak powerhouse in the Dao Realm, and he entered the Cleansing Realm twice back then.
Bai Min is stronger than Luo Qingqiang, who entered the marrow realm twice back then, so naturally he can only enter the marrow once.
"This ......" Chen Qingming didn't know what to say, and began to look at his nephew's friend again.
"Xiao Min, in the future, please help me more." Chen Qingfeng suddenly spoke, and then bent down to bow to Bai Min.
"This, don't don't, you're serious, I don't know if you helped me a lot, if it's possible in the future, I should help him." Bai Min was a little surprised, and hurriedly helped Chen Qingfeng up.
"From now on, Xiao Min, whatever you need for cultivation, my Chen family will give you, don't refuse, this is our investment, you just accept it safely." Chen Qingfeng said seriously.
"Yes." Chen Qingming echoed on the side.
Bai Min thought about it, he was indeed different now and before, and he was worthy of the Chen family's investment after washing the marrow, so he nodded, and did not refuse Chen Qingfeng's kindness.
"Then I'll go first, I haven't cultivated today." Bai Min couldn't let go in front of the two of them, and planned to leave as soon as possible.
"Let's go, let's go, are you so reluctant to talk to the two of us?" Chen Qingming smiled and waved his hand and agreed.
After Bai Min left.
Chen Qingming sighed and looked at Chen Qingfeng: "Big brother? Have we been tricked by His Majesty and the surname Han? ”
Chen Qingfeng frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Wait, don't mention this matter, don't mention it, be careful of bad things." ”
"Yes." Chen Qingming nodded, restrained the smile that had been on his face, and his expression was solemn.
