Chapter 104: The Cheng Family (I)
The Thousand Men Country is the southern neighbor of the Tianjin Kingdom, which is much larger than the Tianjin Kingdom, which is not only reflected in the number of people and the area of the country, but also in any aspect is larger than the Tianjin Kingdom.
Why is it called a thousand-point country? In the early years, this country was formed into a country by dozens of states on their own. At first, it was not called this name, but later with the expansion, attack, seizure, etc., there were more and more states, and then the country was renamed "Qianfen", which means that there are a thousand states, in fact, there are only about a hundred, but compared to the forty states of the Tianjin Kingdom, it is three times smaller.
The country has changed its name, and all the states have naturally changed their names, and the names they have changed are also very simple, and they are all "what states".
The Cheng family that Pan Yue said is in this ten-point state, and it is the largest family in the entire ten-point state. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Shifen Prefecture is in the hands of this Cheng family.
More than a hundred years ago, Shifenzhou was still the territory of the Tianjin Kingdom, the Cheng family was still a small family, and the Pan family was still there. More than 100 years later, the Pan family was destroyed, and the Cheng family rebelled out of the Tianjin Kingdom, not only becoming the largest family in Shifen Prefecture, but also climbing the high branch of "Shangyue Gate", and its status in the Thousand Points Country is also second to none. For more than 100 years, the Cheng family has been smooth sailing.
Zhao Shi finally entered the territory of the Thousand Percent Country after a day's journey, overlooking several states and counties in the sky, Zhao Shi couldn't help but praise here, "I have to say that this Thousand Percent Country is much bigger than the Tianjin Kingdom, and as far as I can see, the prosperity of these states is comparable to the imperial capital of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom." ”
"This shows that the country has been valued by the 'moon gate', and its development is naturally rapid. The demon said.
"According to the inquired news, this Cheng family is now incredible, the largest family in Shishizhou, and it is also a popular affiliated family of 'Shangyuemen'. Zhao Shi said, at this time he wore a virtuous crown, wearing a white brocade robe with gray and green edges, the sleeves on both sides were embroidered with landscape maps, a gold and jade belt was pinned to his waist, and an emerald green jade pendant was hung on it, and the storage Qiankun bag and the Minghe jade plate were hung a little inside.
"More is better than less, so I asked you to change your dress, if you are still wearing a crane cloud suit, and you will arrive at the affiliated family of 'Shangyue Gate' without saying hello to the 'Shangyue Gate', then you are asking for trouble. ”
"Brother Demon, you don't look like I'm dressed like a literati. Zhao Shi raised his hands and admired himself, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Sure enough, people rely on clothes, but literati are not considered scholars, and young talents have a little taste. The demon said.
"Why aren't you considered a scholar?"
"Because you haven't been in school for a few years. The demon said with a smile.
"You 、、、 well, I really don't read much, so I lost the previous argument about cultivating Buddhism. Zhao Shi said helplessly, having to admit that he really didn't have much knowledge.
After flying for another hour, Zhao Shi entered the boundary of Qianfen Prefecture. The spirit crane flew low, and Zhao Shi observed in the air, hoping to see the direction of the Cheng family.
"Look at the sky! there's a big crane!"
"See, there's a guy sitting on it. ”
"There is another Immortal Master! I didn't expect so many Immortal Masters to come to the birthday of the Great Elder of the Cheng Family. ”
"Yes, the Cheng family is really powerful. I heard that tomorrow's birthday will give out free rice and sesame oil. ”
"Then you must go, don't take the free ones. ”
The Cheng family is the largest family in Qianfen Prefecture, and the location is naturally the best and most conspicuous. Zhao Shi took a little look and found that not far away sat a complex of buildings as large as a palace, covering an area of 500 hectares.
"It should be there. Zhao Shi thought to himself, Linghe cried, and swooped down with a "whoosh".
"Another immortal master is here, hurry up and prepare to greet him. A domestic servant wearing silk at the gate of the Cheng family shouted loudly to all the domestic servants and slaves, "Dafu, you hurry up and inform the master of the family, and say that there is another immortal master." ”
"Okay, Steward Cheng. This man named Daifuku hurriedly ran in, rampage all the way, and shouted loudly, "Lord of the family, Lord of the family、、、、、、"
This steward Cheng is wearing satin, and it seems that the status of this domestic servant is definitely very unusual. I saw that he hurriedly trotted to the front and knelt down first.
Zhao Shi Linghe flapped his wings and slowly landed on the ground, he looked at the lights on the gate of Cheng's house, and it was lively inside. "Is it a big day? It seems that I am not coincidental. ”
"Greetings to the Immortal Master, I wish the Immortal Master a long life and Tianqi. All the servants respectfully gave Zhao Shi a big salute.
"Excuse me, this immortal master has something to do with your family master. Zhao Shi said directly to the servant at the front.
"Master Xie Xianshi, the head of the family will come out to greet you immediately, and ask the immortal master to wait for a while. Steward Cheng said very respectfully, but he didn't show the slightest nervousness.
As soon as Steward Cheng finished speaking, a confident voice came from the gate, "Cheng has been slow to treat the Immortal Master, and please don't blame the Immortal Master." ”
Zhao Shi saw that the person who came was an old man with silver hair and a gray beard that was about a foot long, and he looked seventy or eighty years old, but looking at his steady walking and loud voice, he felt that he was only forty years old. This Cheng family master came to Zhao Shi and bowed respectfully, but did not bow down.
"Don't get in the way, a friend of this immortal master entrusts me, I want to invite you to see the elder, I don't know if it's convenient. Zhao Shi directly expressed his intention to this Cheng family master.
As soon as Zhao Shi showed his intention, the head of the Cheng family immediately became vigilant, and he said respectfully, "It just so happens that tomorrow is the birthday of the elder of my Cheng family." Lord Immortal Master might as well rest here for one night, and tomorrow the Great Elder will personally thank them one by one. ”
It's no wonder that this Cheng family master suddenly became vigilant, Zhao Shi came uninvited, and secondly, he wanted to see the most important person in the family before he reported his family, and people who were not in a bad mind would be wary of Zhao Shi.
Zhao Shi also found that he had spoken inappropriately, and he hurriedly said: "Master Cheng, the words of this immortal master may have misunderstood you, then let the master do whatever he wants, and everything is up to you." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, please come here. The head of the Cheng family made an invitation, and all the servants and slaves hurriedly got out of the way and knelt on both sides.
Zhao Shi got down from the back of the Linghe and walked to the gate of the Cheng family under the leadership of the head of the Cheng family, Zhao Shi glanced at the two gates, and there was a thick layer of gold paint on them, which was shiny, about thirty or forty centimeters thick, and more than ten meters high.
The gate is made of refined pig iron after being tempered thousands of times, and then inlaid in the fine sandalwood, and the gate of the Cheng family alone is about to throw the gate of the Tianjin Kingdom to 108,000 miles away.
