Chapter 40: Going to the Feast
The two of them planned to sneak back into the room quietly, unaware. Leng Buding shouted: "Where did you two go early in the morning?" The Great Elder was just asking you, and I went to the room to look for no one. ”
One person came out of the oblique stab, it was Chen Xuanzhong.
"Uncle Xuanzhong, we're just going out to play. Chen Anzhi was clever, and immediately said with a smile on his face.
"What are you going to play early in the morning?" asked Chen Xuanzhong suspiciously.
"My seventh brother and I went to the place where the buns were sold yesterday and sold something. Chen Anping had to come out and make a lie. Fortunately, Chen Anping's qualifications are very high and he has a high status in Chenjiazhuang. As soon as he spoke, Chen Xuanzhong didn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and clean up, the Great Elder is waiting in the front hall." ”
Chen Anzhi stuck out his tongue, the two looked at each other and smiled, and went back to the room with their shoulders on their backs.
When he returned to the front hall after cleaning up, Chen Xinghong was drinking morning tea, and the carriage outside the door was ready. As soon as the two entered the door, Chen Xinghong put down the teacup, stood up, and said, "You two unconscious boys! Hurry up, the city lord Shen who had dinner together last time invited us to the city lord's mansion as guests." Don't delay. ”
Chen Anzhi said: "Great Elder, can we not go?" You see, you adults talking about things there have nothing to do with us children, we can just play by ourselves in this courtyard." ”
In fact, he just had a fight with the son of the city lord's mansion, and now he is going to someone's house for a banquet.
"Nonsense, in the past two days, people from all major sects in the rivers and lakes have come one after another, and the strong have gathered. Walking at the south gate of Tianji Pavilion, Tianyi proposed that everyone get together first and discuss and discuss, and then the Lord of Shen City came forward to invite him to the banquet. This time I went to the appointment
They are all characters with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, and they will inevitably encounter many difficulties when they walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and they will have many friends and many roads. It will be good for you to take this opportunity to get to know more famous people in the future. You are not young anymore, our descendants of Chenjiazhuang's generation, and the two of you are the only ones who are outstanding. This time, I will take you with me, one is to see the world, and the other is that the old man can be regarded as paving the way for you. Don't be ignorant. Chen Xinghong said earnestly.
"Oh. Looking at this momentum, I am afraid that it will not work if I don't go, Chen Anzhi drooped his head, and followed Chen Xinghong and Chen Xuanzhong to the city lord's mansion obediently.
"You two elders got the map yesterday, and they have already gone to a few dangerous places in the Central Forbidden Land to investigate. This time, the old man and, Xuan Chong, and the two of you will go. When you go to the meeting, you must pay attention and don't cause trouble. Chen Xinghong said carefully.
"Great Elder, how can we cause trouble?" Chen Anzhi retorted.
"Oh, yes, what's the matter with coming back in the morning?" said Chen Xinghong with a smile. A pair of deep eyes looked at Chen An deeply.
Being stared at by Chen Xinghong like this, Chen Anzhi's cold hair wrinkled, and he had to say curtly: "Yes, yes, An Zhizhi is wrong." "But he muttered in his heart, how did the Great Elder know what we had done out of the Dao?
In fact, with the status of Chen Anping and Chen Anzhi in the Anzi generation of Chenjiazhuang people, how could Chen Xinghong rest assured that they would be alone and relieved?
Each power has its own amount of secret power, just look at how big or small, more or less. Normally, these people don't need it, and even in some family crises, they may not see the secret guard's move.
It is precisely because of its darkness that the existence of the dark guard can receive unexpected effects, and it can do something that you usually want to do but can't. But as long as a secret guard is exposed, it can no longer be called a secret guard. This is also the reason why all the forces cherish the opportunity to use the Dark Guard.
Chen Xinghong stepped down as the owner of Chenjiazhuang, sacrificed to his ancestors, and told the elders of the family, this time he came to Fuguang City, he was afraid that there would be not enough manpower, and he was worried that the guards would not be complete, so he asked such a secret guard to follow and protect these two young sons. Even Chen Xinghong himself didn't know who the secret guard was, what his name was, what his occupation he was, and his age...... He only knew that if Chen Anzhi and Chen Anping went out alone, there would be news from time to time. It's a secret family code. Those who are not owners are not known.
A few streets away is the huge central square of the city lord's mansion. Fake ponds, rockeries, and fish species that circulate in the central forbidden area swim in the fake ponds.
The carriage stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion. Chen Anzhi jumped down, and what caught his eye was two huge stone lion statues, two people tall, carved teeth and claws, lifelike, the stone lion stepped on a ball at his feet, bloody like prey.
The three characters of the entrance to the city lord's mansion are written vigorously and powerfully, and a gilded banner is hung in front of the gatehouse. The gatehouse is built extremely majestic, and the fence is drawn, simple and generous. The walls on both sides of the gatehouse are about three zhang high, and the iron buckets built by the entire city lord's mansion are general.
"Greet Qin Chen at the front door of the Lower City Lord's Mansion, and ask the distinguished guest to show the greeting post. Dressed in a green and white pine and mighty suit, Qin Chen hugged his fists and smiled.
Chen Xinghong handed over the greeting post, led a few people, and Shi Shiran walked in.
As soon as you enter the mansion gate, the bluestone paved path leads straight to the depths, and the eye is a pool of water surrounding the whole house, when it is August, it is the day when the lotus flowers bloom. Pink lotus petals in the pool are dotted among the green leaves, and the breeze blows, and the fragrance is bursting.
"The flowers are so fragrant, and the design of this flowing water is even better than our home. Chen Anzhi turned his head and looked around, but his mouth was contrasting.
An arch bridge spans the pool, and then a gatehouse is the vestibule of the house. The vestibule is vast and the size of a horse farm.
As soon as Chen Xinghong and the others stepped into the vestibule, a hearty laugh came: "Welcome Elder Chen to the Humble House, it's really brilliant." Come on, come on, please. "There are still dozens of zhang away, and Shen Cangyun descends to greet him.
Chen Xinghong clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Lord Shen is polite. The old man came to visit for the first time, and it was an honor, so please smile and accept it with a slight gift. Behind him, Chen Xuan took a step forward and presented the gift box.
"Tianlu, don't hurry up and get your hands on it. Hearing this, there was a person behind the Lord of Shen City, with white hair and eyebrows, wearing a simple linen suit, and stepped forward to take the gift box. "This is the chief steward of my house, Shen Tianlu. Shen Cangyun introduced.
"Please, please. ”
Shen Cangyun led Chen Xinghong and his party into the front hall of Sihai Building. In the Sihai Building, the main scenery is a picture of the Son of Heaven patrolling the wilderness, and the two sides are landscape pictures. Two antique wooden screens on the side, with two rows of seats arranged in front of the screen. Shen Cangyun sat down on the main seat, and said with his right hand: "Please invite Elder Chen to take a seat." ”
Chen Anzhi's child had a temperament, and he was looking around, and unexpectedly walked out of behind the screen. Chen Anping also saw it, and he was shocked, what were he really afraid of, what was coming. Isn't this the one who fought in the morning?
"Meet Daddy!" the boy bowed respectfully to Shen Cangyun. "I wonder what Daddy called me for?"
"Get up, Shui Chao, come, this is the senior of Chen Xinghong, the first great elder in Jiangnan. Go and salute. ”
"Shui Chao pays a visit to Elder Chen. Shen Shuichao said respectfully.
"Please, please, another son is really a talent. When we met for the first time, the old man didn't have anything to give, so he gave you a small object to play with. Chen Xinghong touched Shen Shuichao's head and said with a smile, but he touched it in his hand and took out a jade pendant. The color is dark yellow, the jade color is warm, and it is stuffed into Shen Shuichao's hands.
"What a way to do that. Elder Chen, that's so polite. It's so polite!" Shen Cangyun thanked him again and again, and said: "Shui Chao, take a few sons of the Chen family to go around the mansion and have a good time." ”
Chen Anping's two brothers' faces changed, and they were at a loss for a while. I didn't want Shen Shuichao to just blink his eyes, as if he didn't know him, and said with a smile: "Two sons, when you come to my city lord's mansion, Shuichao will definitely take you around." After speaking, he turned to Shen Cangyun and replied, "Daddy, then I'll take them down to play." ”
"Go ahead. Be well entertained. Don't be rude. Shen Cangyun waved his hand and said with a smile.
Along the way, Shen Shuichao introduced various places in his house with a smile:
"This is our arsenal in the house, this standard long sword, short knife, bow and arrow have been made in the house, marked with the mark of my floating light city, and outsiders are not allowed to make it at will. Uncle Fan Xu is good, Uncle Gong is good, I will take a few friends to visit, and you will continue to ......." The armory workshop was tinkling, and Shen Shuichao greeted the people in the house while leading the two Chen brothers.
"This is the pavilion loft behind the house, this piece of peach grove blooms very beautifully in March and May every year, Chen Gongzi, you can come and see it when you have time in the future." Along this river, let's go this way, there is a pool, we call it a pure pool. "Passing through the bamboo forest by the pool, Shen Shuichao headed towards the pure pool. Several times Chen Anzhi wanted to speak and stopped, but Chen Anping privately stopped it, and he couldn't have a seizure.
"The pure water pool is close to the five old peaks, the source of the flowing water in this house is the waterfall that flows down from the five old peaks, the waterfall washes the clean water pool, making the pure water pool dozens of zhang deep, and the water flowing out of the pool surrounds the house. You see, it's freshwater season and there are no waterfalls. The entire side of the five old peaks has been washed by a waterfall, and the cut surface is smooth, like a mirror. Amazing view ......"
"Shen Gongzi, what do you mean by chirping crookedly all the way?" Chen Anzhi really couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but ask.
Shen Shuichao smiled indifferently: "It's not interesting, Daddy asked me to take you on a tour, I am kind enough to take you on a tour?"
"Oh..."Shen Shuichao looked like he was awake, and said, "You mean the morning... My son doesn't hold grudges, and since you are Daddy's guests, I can't disobey Daddy's will. Let's not know each other if we don't fight. Relieved, aren't you?"
This time, not only Chen Anzhi was puzzled, but Chen Anping was surprised, and he really didn't expect that it would be such an ending. He thought he was going to have another fight. Anyway, he wasn't afraid, so he kept patiently watching Shen Shuichao's performance.
Shen Shuichao showed a harmless smile and said, "You think too much, my son is very broad-minded. Okay, let's go, let's take you to a fun place......."
Seeing Chen Anping's two brothers leave, Chen Xinghong retracted his gaze. Shen Cangyun said with a straight face: "Elder Chen, this Tianyi walk specially explained, recently, he watched the sky at night, and the speed of purple qi gathering towards the central forbidden land has increased greatly, I am afraid that the time for the treasure to be born will be advanced." Fortunately, one after another, in the past few days, there have been many people in the city, Elder Chen is highly respected, and the meaning of Tianyi walking is that it is up to you to gather everyone to discuss it. How?"
Chen Xinghong pondered for a long time and said: "As soon as Tianyi walks, did you say what kind of treasure was born and what is the danger? The old man came forward to summon him, and he always had to give an explanation to the heroes of the world. “
Shen Cangyun smiled bitterly and said: "Elder Chen, you don't know the way, Tianyi walks out of nowhere, his old man is the head of the dynasty's sacrifices, and he has the right to supervise the entire southern region of the dynasty, how can I be a small city lord who is qualified to question." But whatever the will is, I will do it. As for what kind of treasure, the younger generation really doesn't know. “
"This can make it difficult for the old man to do....in this way, how many parties have been invited by the city lord today?The old man went to say hello one by one, and maybe he could meet a few old friends....... Chen Xinghong said in a deep groan.
"So very good, so very good. Shen Cangyun said again and again: "This time, Shen invited his brother to Shenjiabao, Xu Zheng of Xujiazhuang nearby, Southwest Oriental Family Oriental City and several other nearby heads. “
"Okay, since everyone is here, the city lord and the old man will go to meet together. As for the treasure information, please also ask the Lord of Shen City to ask for instructions when he comes to see Tianyi. Otherwise, the old man really didn't dare to deceive his friends in the rivers and lakes. Chen Xinghong said sincerely.
"Definitely, definitely. “
