Chapter 5 Hou Men Like the Sea
The Shen family's mansion.
There are two stone lions at the door, and above the vermilion lacquer gate is a plaque, with four big characters of "Changchun Marquis Mansion" written on it.
Green bricks and green tiles, high walls and large households, this is Ye Chong's first impression of the Shen Mansion.
Pushed open the door, asked the little guy at the door, and learned that his father was drinking tea with Shen Fengyang in the main hall, so Ye Chong walked to the main hall under the leadership of the little guy.
To be honest, he was a little curious about how the farmer father in his impression climbed to the Shen Mansion and was able to be personally received by Shen Fengyang and drink tea in the main hall.
This is not a farmer's courtesy.
Along the way, Ye Chong stepped on the bluestone path under his feet, observing the layout of the Shen Mansion. Pavilion garden, rockery pool, scattered and chic, highlighting the momentum of Houmen.
It's just that occasionally I meet some people, who always point and point when they look at him, and their looks are quite strange.
Come to the main hall.
The little guy came to the door, "Master Hou, Ye Chong has arrived." ”
A mellow voice came from inside, "I will call Young Master Ye in the future, okay, you go down, nephew Ye Xian come in quickly." ”
The tone was thick and eager, but it made Ye Chong frown slightly, Young Master Ye, virtuous nephew, hey, it seems that this Hou Ye really gave face to his farmer father.
Ye Chong pushed the door in.
There were two men sitting in the hall, all dressed in fancy clothes, with a few wisps of mustache, with deep eyes, smiling at Ye Chong.
This person is none other than Shen Fengyang.
"Hello Uncle Shen!"
Ye Chong greeted Shen Fengyang and saluted, in his impression, he was calling Shen Fengyang Uncle Shen two years ago, not Hou Ye.
Then, Ye Chong's gaze fell on the man who was drinking tea with a big grin, wearing the same coarse cloth clothes as himself, but it was a little dirty, his face was scruffy, his hair was shiny, and he had obviously not washed it for a long time, and he was as downcast as a beggar.
"Father. Ye Chong blurted out, it seemed so natural, although the image in front of him was so sloppy, but he still had a sense of intimacy from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Chong reached out and touched his chest, thinking, maybe this is blood relationship. In his previous life, as an orphan, he had never had such a magical emotional experience.
Ye Chong's father just glanced at him slightly, without the slightest feeling of reuniting with his son after a long absence for two years, he just waved his hand casually, "Sit down." ”
Ye Chong's expression was a little embarrassed, after all, this is in someone else's house, and the owner of the house is not polite, you let me sit first, is this appropriate?
"Don't be stunned, hehe, I must have not seen your father for two years, I am a little excited, hurry up and take a seat. Shen Fengyang didn't mind smiling at all, and then turned his head to look at Ye Chong's father, "Chonglou, the virtuous nephew is fifteen years old today and the crown ceremony, wait for me to ask someone to set the wine and incense, and celebrate well." ”
Ye Chonglou, that is, Ye Chong's father, just shook his head when he heard this, "Countrymen, don't pay so much attention, you don't have to do anything and crown ceremony, just do what you need to do." ”
Ye Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the crown is an adult, if you don't do the crown ceremony, what should you do?
He noticed that after Shen Fengyang heard this, his face was slightly embarrassed.
At this moment, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open again, and a young girl in a gorgeous costume broke in and interrupted them.
The girl Ye Chong had a vague impression that she was Shen Fengyang's second daughter, named Shen Qian'er, who was a little younger than herself. It's just that the look on the girl's face is not quite right, and she looks angry.
"Qian'er, didn't you see me talking to your Uncle Ye about things, what are you doing when you break in!" Shen Fengyang immediately drank after seeing Shen Qian'er.
"Hmph!" Shen Qian'er glared at his father, and then walked straight to Ye Chong.
"Hey, Tu Baozi! You listen to me!" She pointed at Ye Chong and said without scruples: "Don't be a toad who wants to eat swan meat, you Tu Baozi is not worthy of my sister!"
Ye Chong, who was sitting quietly, was stunned by Shen Qian'er's unprovoked accusation, frowned, and digested her words just now in his heart, the toad wants to eat swan meat?
Ye Chong immediately noticed that there seemed to be something that he had been hiding from himself.
Because there was no such thing in the memory of the original "Ye Chong", he hadn't even seen the "swan" sister Shen Qian'er said, and he didn't know if she was as beautiful as a fairy or as ugly as Sister Feng.
Ye Chonglou laughed at this time, he reached out and grabbed the beard on his face, looked at Shen Qian'er and asked, "Little niece, tell me, I ...... Well...... Tubaozi son, why don't you deserve your sister?"
Ye Chong subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Fengyang, who had a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth at this time, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
I saw Shen Qian'er pinching her waist with both hands, holding her head high like a proud deer, and met Ye Chonglou's gaze without the slightest fear, and said: "He is from the countryside, a bun, and my sister is the daughter of Changchun Hou, so her family background is not worthy." Also, he has been in the Divine General Academy for two years, and he has not yet opened up the Qi Sea, everyone calls him a waste, and my sister is a closed disciple of the dean of the Qinglan Academy, and now she is now a Triple Heaven of the Qi Sea Realm, and she is recognized as the proud daughter of the sky, you say, can your son be worthy of my sister? If I were him, I would take the initiative to break the marriage contract, so as not to be laughed at!"
"Qian'er, don't be rude!" After Shen Qian'er finished saying that, Shen Fengyang put down the teacup and scolded with a cold face, "How can you talk to your Uncle Ye like this!"
Shen Qian'er was full of confidence, "What I said is the truth!"
Ye Chong on the side looked at the "performance" of the father and daughter, his eyes narrowed slightly, Shen Fengyang said that he was rude, and did not deny the fact that her youngest daughter said that she was not worthy of her sister. Thinking of Shen Fengyang's expression just now, although he affectionately called himself a virtuous nephew, even if he was seriously injured in the Shen Family in the Divine General Courtyard in the past two years, he didn't send anyone to ask, just like that, Shen Qian'er not only knew that she had not opened up the sea of qi, but also knew that everyone called herself a waste......
He had a general understanding of this matter in his heart.
Ye Chong didn't know if Shen Qian'er had been explained by her family in advance, even if she wasn't, someone must have deliberately instigated it. What is certain is that the words she said were also the words of the Marquis of Changchun, who affectionately called himself a virtuous nephew.
He wondered what kind of character his peasant father was, and how he had to take such painstaking steps to arrange it was really enough to elevate their father and son. Furthermore, when did this marriage contract come about?
"Girl, I don't know the importance of speaking, Chonglou and virtuous nephews, don't take it to heart. Shen Fengyang glared at Shen Qian'er, "Stinky Nizi, get out of here!"
"Hmph, he just doesn't deserve my sister!" Shen Qian'er pouted with a look of grievance, then glared at Ye Chong hatefully, and then turned around and ran out of the door.
Ye Chong was speechless, it was you who scolded me, I didn't scold you, if you want to be wronged, it should be me who is wronged, right......
"Why be angry? Ye Chonglou smiled as before, squinted his eyes slightly, and said: "Little child, not to mention that I think what she said still has some truth, my son seems to be really not worthy of your family." Alas, the old marquis shouldn't have made such a marriage contract back then, which made it difficult for those of us who were juniors. ”
Ye Chong almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard his father's words, he was sure that his cheap father saw through Shen Fengyang's meaning and deliberately choked him with the old marquis.
He just didn't know how his father and the old marquis had a relationship again, the old marquis of the Shen Mansion died many years ago.
"Chonglou, don't say that, back then, you worked hard for our Shen family and saved my father's life many times on the battlefield, and his old man also made this marriage contract to thank you for saving your life. Shen Fengyang had a nostalgic expression on his face, "If it weren't for you, our Shen family would not have been crowned Marquis today, and your kindness to our Shen family is unforgettable." ”
"So you are determined to marry your daughter to my son?" Ye Chonglou grinned, "I'll just say, these are all men who have become Changchunhou now, and it is impossible to ignore the decisions of the elders as nothing." ”
"Uh...... Heavy building, you ......" Shen Fengyang was immediately blocked and speechless.
Ye Chong looked at this scene, and only felt that his cheap father was really a talent, too humorous. However, he didn't expect that the sloppy father who farmed and drank every day in his memory would have such a favor to the Shen family and saved the life of the old marquis on the battlefield, so ...... He should have made great achievements, right, why did he fall to this step now?
He quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart, at present, he should watch his cheap father fight with the hypocrite Hou Ye.
Ye Chong was not interested in hugging Changchunhou's thighs, he knew that no matter which world it was, only he became stronger was the truth, as for the marriage contract, he had heard of it for the first time, and the "swan" of the Shen family, the proud daughter of the sky, he had never even seen it, but he didn't dare to give birth to the idea of eating, what if it looked ugly?
At this moment, Shen Fengyang put down the teacup in his hand, as if he had decided something, stretched out his hand and clapped his hands, and shouted out to the door: "Bring things in!"
Then Ye Chong saw several family members walking in with a large box, and after putting it down, he closed the door and left.
Shen Fengyang also walked down from his seat, came to the side of the box, and said to Ye Chonglou: "Chonglou, the will of our ancestor should be followed by us as juniors, but the world is unexpected. I didn't expect Qing'er to be so talented in martial arts, and the virtuous nephew ...... The virtuous nephew may not be very suitable for martial arts, so ......"
Ye Chonglou interrupted with a sneer, "So you think my son is not worthy of your daughter, and you want to get out of the marriage?"
