sleep forever

Old Chen's West Courtyard reopened!

Four hours after Chen Xiansong fell asleep, the news spread throughout Heluo.As an aristocratic family that has stood in Heluo for more than 2000 years, the old Chen family has been prosperous and ups and downs. Over the years, it has not been eliminated after several dynasties. Even if it fell into a trough once or twice, as long as someone lives in the west courtyard, Then they can become this giant again in just a few years.

All the major families in Heluo have received the news, and even a few hours ago, the giant steel beast that was rampaging in the streets and flying around also landed in the old Chen's family. After thinking about it through experience, one thing became clear. The ancestor of the Chen family came back and brought an ancient relic that could fly.

Then came the Patriarchs of various families, all of whom were so depressed that their teeth ached.By the way, the old Chen family refers to the Chen family where Chen Xiansong lives now. In addition, there is another family surnamed Chen in Heluo, which has risen for hundreds of years. In order to distinguish these two families, Heluo people use two The 'years' of the two are called the old Chen family and the other is called the small Chen family.

The old Chen family had many household items and various businesses, but the most famous ones were all kinds of iron armor, while the small Chen family's household items were five-color brocades.No matter in terms of the importance of business materials or the background of the two families, the little Chen family can't compare with the old Chen family.As a member of the Xiao Chen family, Hui Lian was sent to Kate Kingdom not long ago and presented to Chen Xiansong, so the Xiao Chen family got a salt road business not long ago, which made everyone very jealous and ruthless. He Luo got the limelight once.

After more than five hours, Chen Xiansong woke up, and when he got up, he found that there were a few more maids in the yard.All of them are young and pretty good looking.It has to be said that the costumes of the Cathay Kingdom have a taste of ancient China. People of the yellow race wear them very well and fit beautifully. Compared with those of the Kate Kingdom, they are indeed much higher.No wonder people here think that people outside Cathay are barbarians.

Huilian was directing the girls to work, cleaning the aisles and rearranging the furniture.After returning to Zhendan, Huilian was visibly more lively.Not as taciturn as in Huishi Village, Chen Xiansong still listened to her lecturing in front of several maids: "You must abide by the rules when you work here. I believe that the people of the old Chen family should understand what rules are. Your ancestor, sister Qianxin, is very honorable, but don't underestimate our family's gentleman, he is a "scholar" and a genius scholar. If you dare to despise and neglect, even if you are the old Chen family I would dare to punish those who are still alive.”

"It's quite imposing!" Chen Xiansong went out, he had already changed the clothes of Kate Kingdom, and put on a scholar's uniform of Cathay Kingdom.A sky blue gown, a white waistband, and a pair of soapy black cotton boots, this outfit was chosen by Bai Qianxin for him, it looks very elegant and chic, showing the temperament of a scholar.

There was some rouge-like blush on Hui Lian's face, and she didn't know it was because of Chen Xiansong's teasing.It was also because he saw a good young master in a troubled world.

"Husband, you're awake!" Huilian lowered her head and gave a light blessing.

Bai Qianxin also came out of the bedroom. She had just changed into the court attire of the noble lady of the Kingdom of Cathay, which was the kind of long skirt with fragrant shoulders and long silk sleeves.The gold silk edge and the floor-length skirt look very graceful and luxurious.Girls in Zhendan would not dare to wear such clothes, because they could not wear that kind of momentum and feeling, but Bai Qian was different.She is born a beauty, and she is born with an aura that makes people look up to.

"Sister Qianxin!" Huilian saluted Bai Qianxin again.

As a member of Xiao Chen's family, Hui Lian also heard that there is an immortal ancestor in the old Chen family who has been traveling around the world and would occasionally go home to live for a period of time every few decades. , the west courtyard will reopen, and at that time, the old Chen family will definitely have one or two more profitable businesses.

Huilian knew that the ancestor of the old Chen family was a woman, but she did not expect that this ancestor was actually Sister Qianxin. It turns out that Bai Qianxin's identity is noble enough, and now there is an immortal servant Identity, this makes Huilian feel a lot of pressure, because such a woman has become the husband's wife, so what is the identity of the husband?

Although she has lived with Chen Xiansong for quite a while, as time goes by, she finds that Chen Xiansong is becoming more and more mysterious. The scholar is his ostensible identity, but she always feels My husband still has a lot of secrets that he hasn't told others, because when he talks to Xiao Min and Sister Qianxin, he often uses terms that they don't understand.

At first she thought it was a code word between the three of them, but later she discovered that her husband often used these words habitually to outsiders. When she realized that others could not understand, she replaced it with some simple and understandable nouns to explain. .From here, it can be explained that this is not a code word, but that my husband has often used such nouns in his childhood life, but she doesn't know what kind of family has so many and such strange common words, and the small Both Min and Bai Qianxin could understand.

Obviously, the three of them grew up in the same area.Otherwise, it cannot explain why all three people use the same way of speaking and the same language habits.Considering that both Bai Min and Bai Qianxin are servants of the Sun God, Huilian once suspected that her husband is also a servant of the Sun God, but later found something wrong. Although the husband has the same language habits as Xiao Min and sister Qianxin, his behavior The method is very different.

Moreover, she could tell that the two of them not only doted on their husband, but also had a faint intention to put him first.It's not the kind of obedience that a wife has towards her husband, but rather a kind of respect for the superior from the subordinates.

She couldn't figure out who else could make the servant of the sun god willing to obey, which made her feel that her husband was mysterious and unpredictable.

But no matter how mysterious Chen Xiansong is, he is her husband, and this will not change the fact.

Huilian respects Bai Qianxin very much, and now she respects Bai Qianxin even more, almost to the point of worship.Thinking about it, the same woman supported a family and let it stand in the world for more than 2000 years. How majestic and domineering it is, just thinking about it makes people heartbroken.

Facing Huilian's salute, Bai Qianxin waved her hands and said, "To be honest, I don't like the etiquette of the Cathay Kingdom very much. It's too complicated and emphasizes status too much. Huilian, you are also one of Xiaosong's women. One, although it is not now, it will definitely be in the future. There is no talk of big women and concubines here, and no big women can deal with concubines casually. Don't be too cautious, it's not good. It's because of you Too much courtesy, Xiao Song didn't get close to you, think about it, Alice shows her face to Xiao Song every day, isn't it just one step away from becoming his woman, but you and Ruth, you two are too old The so-called etiquette and status in the local meaning have not yet progressed."

Chen Xiansong was a little embarrassed, but Bai Qianxin was right, it was because Huilian and Ruth cared too much about etiquette and status.So he has little 'sexual interest' in these two people.For example, the little guy, although he said that his body has not yet grown, but he clings to Chen Xiansong every day, and the two are so sticky that he almost envies Huilian to death.

hear this.Huilian's little face was flushed now, but she also showed a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, a maid came in and said, "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, and Miss Thirteen, the Patriarch has already prepared wine and food in the front hall to welcome you, this way please."

Although the relationship between the old Chen family and the little Chen family is not very good.But the two families still had contacts, and several people knew Huilian, so her identity was soon revealed.

The front hall of the old Chen family is very large, and there are no small front halls in the big family of Heluo.There is such a saying here, a home.Anything can be small, but the front hall used for banqueting guests must be large, it is best to accommodate thousands of people, so that it will be more face-saving.

A front hall covers an area of ​​more than two acres... and the floor is paved with green stem wood that is so smooth that it can almost be used as a mirror. Nearly two hundred tables are neatly arranged.The servants rushed to serve all kinds of dishes and put them on the table. Outside the front hall, there were a lot of people standing, men, women, old and young. Judging from their clothes, they were all wealthy people.

As soon as Chen Xiansong brought the two women to the front hall, Chen Tiancai and another old man greeted them. They bowed down and bowed to the three of them. Then Chen Tiancai took a step forward and said, "Old grandfather, old ancestor, how about you?" There is Miss Thirteen, the current patriarch of our Chen family here, Chen Tianhe, the ancestors have seen him before, so they should have some impressions."

Bai Qianxin stared at Chen Tianhe for a while, nodded and said, "I have the impression that it was the little idiot who fell from the tree while digging out the bird's nest and nearly died."

As soon as the words came out, the people standing outside covered their mouths and laughed lightly. Chen Tianhe was a little embarrassed, he smiled wryly and said: "When I was young, I was really naughty, I made my ancestor laugh."

Although Chen Tianhe also has white hair and white beard, he is different from Chen Tiancai, whose eyes are shining brightly from time to time, looking at the old man, but in fact exudes a sinister aura. His demeanor is very like a scholar, gentle and refined.He is dressed in black and white robes for scholars, this kind of clothes cannot be worn by ordinary people, no matter how rich or powerful, ordinary people cannot wear them, but there are always exceptions, the Kingdom of Zhendan respects the elderly, and people over 60 years old are guaranteed, As long as he does not wear official uniforms or dragon robes, he is free to do anything else.

Therefore, the scholar's clothing, which symbolizes special status, has always been the favorite clothing of the elderly over 60 years old.

Chen Xiansong is also wearing a scholar's uniform now, and this outfit has attracted the attention of most of the people just after he appeared on the stage.People who can wear this costume are either old people or real scholars.Everyone is guessing which type Chen Xiansong is.At other times, they wouldn't believe that a young man like Chen Xiansong would be dozens of years old, but with Bai Qianxin as the 'ancestor' here as a reference, they would not dare to guess Chen Xiansong's Age, what if he is a special person who is immortal like the ancestor?

"Grandpa, Patriarch, Miss Thirteen, please take a seat." Chen Tianhe led the three of them to the front of the front hall, and then looked at the three of them, hesitantly.

He is in a bit of a dilemma now, he doesn't know who to invite to sit in the right seat, it stands to reason that the ancestor should sit in the top seat, but the Zhendan Kingdom has always respected husbands and wives, that is to say, Chen Xiansong is more qualified to sit in this seat.

When Chen Tianhe was in trouble, Chen Xiansong naturally sat on the top seat, Bai Qianxin sat down next to him, and then Huilian sat next to Bai Qianxin.Seeing such a situation, Chen Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that his choice would dissatisfy the ancestor.

Chen Tiancai and Chen Tianhe also sat down at the main table.Then Chen Tianhe asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, is it time to eat? Or are you going to give me a lecture?"

"Let's eat, I'm a little hungry too." Chen Xiansong smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Chen Tianhe nodded slightly to an old man standing not far away.The old man then shouted in a loud voice: "Grandfather's order, the dust-cleaning banquet begins, and relatives from all families enter the venue to eat, so don't make any noise."

The old man's voice fell behind, and the people standing in front of the main hall filed in. They found their seats and sat down in an orderly manner without any disturbance.Chen Xiansong found that the older they were, the closer they were to their dining table, and the more gorgeous their costumes.

It seems that there are many rules for eating a meal.Chen Xiansong murmured in his heart, and not long after, they all came in, and almost all the dining tables were filled. Chen Xiansong sat at the main table at a slightly higher position, so he could see the situation in the entire front hall clearly. He estimated that here There should be more than 400 people.

This is almost equal to the total population of Huishi Village. Chen Xiansong was a little surprised. Just from the number of these people, he could guess how powerful the Chen family is in Heluo.

After the more than 400 people were seated, all men, women and children looked at Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin quietly. After a few seconds, Chen Xiansong realized that he took his chopsticks and put some vegetables into his bowl. After seeing his action, everyone dared to move their chopsticks.

The rules of the Kingdom of Zhendan have always been very strict. If the head of the family does not move his chopsticks at the dining table, then no one can eat and can only wait.Moreover, if the head of the family is not full, other people cannot put down their chopsticks, nor can they say that they are full. Even if they don’t eat, they have to wait in front of the table with chopsticks until the head of the family is full and leaves the table before they can leave. .

The dishes of the Chen family are all fresh and well-made, with a variety of styles. Chen Xiansong thinks they are okay, but he feels that they are not as delicious as Alice and Ruth.Chen Xiansong buried his head in his meal, and the others were not surprised, because the dining table etiquette in the Kingdom of Cathay is 'eat without talking'.

Chen Xiansong ate very slowly. In fact, many people in the front hall were already full, but seeing that Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin were still eating, they could only sit obediently.Chen Xiansong's appetite has grown a lot since he ate the jade syrup, and he finally ate his fill. He told everyone to eat slowly, and when he was about to leave, Bai Qianxin took his hand and asked him to continue sitting. with.

"Xiaotianzi, Xiaohezi, Xiaosong is a soul thinker. That is what you call a scholar." Bai Qianxin smiled slightly and said: "After eating, you let the children under the age of 16 in the clan, Take Xiao Song to him and let him see if there will be any talented children in the clan."

The eyes of the two old people lit up, Chen Tianhe immediately stood up and said, "That's kind, I'm just going to trouble the old grandfather."
