I hang up for retirement in the martial arts world

Chapter 123 Birthday
"Brother, aren't you afraid that I will be self-defeating?"

Chen Yi paused as he wiped the blade, looked sideways, and met his brother's serious gaze.

"Haha, my younger brother must have underestimated himself and the family!" Chen Meng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, showing a confident smile.

"Oh? Brother, can you reveal a little bit? Also teach me how much property our family has to defeat me?"

Seeing his confident expression, the boy's eyes lit up slightly, he couldn't help but put down the knife in his hand, and asked curiously.

"How long have you been serious, and you're starting to lose your tune again!" Chen Mengwen said with a helpless expression, his expression froze.

"Haha, it's just that I don't like the heavy atmosphere!"

"That's all!" The current Patriarch shook his head and said.

And with what he said next, Chen Yicai finally had a somewhat clear understanding of the power of the Chen Clan.

It turns out that the family is not as simple as he thought.

In terms of financial resources, it may be mediocre, and it can only be regarded as an ordinary rich man, but in terms of masters and connections, it can be said that in Yuzhou, except for those top sects, the Chen family is second to none!
The three famous guest ministers are just a cover up on the surface. In fact, there are more than a thousand people in the clan. There are no less than a dozen masters on the stage, and there are more than ten first-class or even above-class people, all scattered all over the place. , hidden behind the scenes.

"Even Mr. Liu, the state shepherd, is quite dependent on my family."

In the small courtyard, Chen Meng stood up while talking.

"As long as you don't be angry with others in the martial arts, don't say that Xiaoxiaohedong, even if the whole Yuzhou is disturbed, the elder brother can suppress it!"

He walked a few steps into the courtyard, and gave the boy a handsome back standing against the wind.

"Actually." Immediately, Jiang paused.

Slightly turned sideways, cast a glance at the young man under the eaves, and said hesitantly: "You don't have to be obsessed with recruiting people from the martial arts, if you want to expand the Manjusri Building, big brother will transfer a group of people now."

"Hold on!" Chen Yi interrupted with a smile as he felt something was wrong the more he listened.

This is to tell myself that there is no need to work hard, there are hundreds of millions of property waiting for him to inherit?
"After all, it is the foundation of the family. If it is easily transferred, even if the elder brother is the head of the family, he will have to bear a lot of ties!"

"Let me try it myself first!" He stepped forward, raised the flagon in his hand, and touched Chen Meng lightly.

At this time, the cold wind suddenly blew, the lights in the house flickered, and the courtyard was suddenly dim, making it impossible to see.

"It's fine if you're interested in it!" Vaguely, Chen Yi saw the other party smiling at him, with a tired look on his face.

There was a faint movement in his heart.

Thinking about it, the main line of people withered, the father died suddenly, and the younger brother must have lived a life that was not easy for the cheap brother in the past few years.

"Come on, put your troubles aside for now, brother, I'll toast you!" So, the boy didn't mention anything else, and simply asked for a drink.

"A cup? Come, I offer you a pot!"

"??!"

It was night, and the two brothers sat in the small courtyard, braving the wind and snow and drinking for a whole night.

So in the early morning of the second day, Xiaochan, who got up early to clean up, suddenly found Chen Yi lying on the ground unconscious, with a strange figure on his body
"Not good!"

"Come quickly! The young master has been murdered by a prostitute!"

Before she could take a closer look, she rushed out of the yard in a panic, waving the broom, which almost alarmed the whole house.

Three days later, on December 26th.

This day is Chen Yi's 16th birthday.

Mother Chen took everyone in the mansion with her and started preparations two days in advance. The inside and outside were decorated with lights and festoons, a large number of exquisite decorations were shipped out from the warehouse, and a large number of fresh ingredients were brought in from all over the city. House.
The whole family was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.

Today, everything is finally ready.

I saw that this early in the morning, the door of the mansion has not yet been opened, and a large number of guests have gathered in front of the door, waiting here early.

All of a sudden, there were cars coming and going, people's voices were boiling, and it was very lively.

It seems that even the temperature within a radius of one mile has been raised a lot. It doesn't seem like a deserted frosty day, but like a June day.

But the concierge, who used to be carefree and guarding the main entrance in the past, now has no chill, but he doesn't feel comfortable, on the contrary, he is in great pain.

"Master Zhang from the south of the city is here to congratulate and present a pair of Yu Ruyi!"

"The head arrester of Ninghe County, Mr. Wu came to congratulate him, and presented him with a red gold saber!"

"Master Zhang from the north of the city came to congratulate me, and gave me four boxes of books and a box of treasures from the study!"

There are too many people who came to congratulate, and the old concierge is very experienced, and after half an hour, his throat was almost torn.

There are many people in the city who heard the sound nearby, eating melons and watching from a distance, expressing a few words of envy from time to time.

"Hey, the second son of the Chen family is too proud of himself, how many good things have he collected for a birthday party!" An old woman was not preoccupied with names.

All she could hear was the concierge's loud calls of gold and jade, and her eyes almost changed into the shape of ingots.

"All the dignitaries in the city are here." The middle-aged man shrugged and folded his arms, murmured.

"More than that! There are people from more than a dozen nearby counties, and I heard that even the county town has noble people visiting!" A well-informed young man added aloud from the side.

"Tsk tsk, the county magistrate doesn't have such a big face, does he?"

Immediately, it sparked a discussion among the people.

"Isn't this nonsense? The eldest son of the Chen family is a celebrity in Zhou Mu's eyes, and the second son is a young hero!"

At this time, when you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
"Qian Hong, magistrate of Ninghe County, Mr. Qian is here to congratulate and present a pair of jade pens!"

A blue and black sedan chair leisurely stopped at the door of the Chen residence amidst the gasps of the two servants.

Immediately, Qian Hong, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar, walked out of it, with his hands behind his back, and was welcomed in by the porter swaggeringly.

Before waiting for everyone to sigh, suddenly
"Master Zhang, the prefect of Changping, is here to present Bu Guang's famous sword!!"

After hearing the sound, all the idlers stared straight at the middle-aged man in black with a serious face.

He lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

With the arrival of this person, the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to its climax.

After the roll call.

In front of the main gate of the Chen Mansion, Chen Meng, who was dressed in a purple costume, walked out quickly, and together with today's protagonist, Chen Yi, walked down the steps to welcome him hand in hand.

"Uncle Zhang is a distinguished guest! What a distinguished guest!"

Seeing someone from afar, he bowed and called out respectfully: "I didn't expect you to come in person. I am sorry to welcome you from far away, but I hope you will forgive me!"

The identity of the person in front of him is unusual, even he dare not neglect.

"Hahaha, don't be too polite!" Zhang Ting smiled when he saw this.

"Shu Zhang! It's been a long time!" He called the young man affectionately, walked forward slowly, and raised his hand to stop the other party from saluting.

Over the years, he has had a lot of dealings with Chen Meng, the patriarch of the Chen family who doesn't care about anything!
