Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Not to mention there is still a lot left.

"Master, we are going home!"

Inside the carriage, the little bookboy Chen An was also very excited, looking at Qingyang County not far away with a happy smile on his face.

Chen Qi can also understand the feelings of the little book boy Chen An and Zhou Nuyuan.

After all, they are not traversers like Chen Qi, and they don't have much affection for Qingyang County and their families in this world.

The two of them accompanied Chen Qi to leave his hometown and family to go to the distant city of Chang'an for almost a year.

Now that I finally came back, the excitement in my heart is naturally needless to say.

In fact, Chen Qi is also a little nervous now, because he is very unfamiliar with his former family and parents.

Even if you rehearse the scene of meeting and getting along thousands of times in your heart.

When things came to an end, he was still very nervous.

"Well, there is no need to stay, just go back to the mansion!"

Chen Qi took a deep breath, put down the curtain of the carriage, and gave Zhou Chong some instructions.

"Okay, master, let's go home now!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chong waved his whip again and drove towards the gate of Qingyang County.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Qingyang County, Zhou Chong just said "Qingyang Chen's family" and was let go directly.

There is no entry fee or anything.

Of course, it doesn't exist for people from the Qingyang family like Chen Qi. Ordinary people still have to pay if they want to enter the city.

As the carriage entered the city, its speed immediately slowed down.

After all, Qingyang County is not Qingzhou County or the capital of Chang'an Emperor. The streets of the county are not wide, and there are many people entering the city, so the horse-drawn carriage that was originally speeding has become a turtle.

After about half an hour like this, the carriage finally arrived in front of a high gate house, and wrote "Chen's House" in big characters.

"Zhou nursing home?"

"Zhou nursing home?"

In front of the Chen residence, the two porters guarding the door saw Zhou Chong in the carriage, and they couldn't help rubbing their eyes, some of them didn't dare to believe it.

After all, a year ago, everyone in Qingyang County knew about Zhou Chong escorting the young master to Chang'an City to participate in the Emperor's Trial.

Now that he suddenly appeared in front of them, how could they not be shocked.

"What are you doing there? Why don't you hurry up and tell the master and wife that the young master is back!"

Zhou Chong saw the two dazed gatekeepers in front of the Chen Mansion, couldn't help scolding, then jumped out of the carriage, and said to Chen Qi in the carriage: "Master, you're already home."

After hearing this, Chen An, the little bookboy in the carriage, immediately raised the curtain and let Chen Qi get out of the carriage first.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, revisiting all kinds of memories of his predecessor in his mind, and finally jumped out of the carriage and looked towards the familiar yet unfamiliar house in front of him.

The identity of the original owner of the body is the young master of the Chen family in Qingyang County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Henan Province, Tang Dynasty.

There are both parents in the family, and there is a grandmother.

In addition, he has two uncles, three aunts, plus two younger brothers, one older sister and one younger sister.

Well, these are all relatives. If you count cousins, cousins, cousins, etc., at least fourteen or five.

The Chen family is a first-class wealthy family in Shaoyang County. They have been in business for four generations, and the amount of wealth accumulated over the four generations is almost the highest in the entire Qingyang County.

Later, because Chen's father was talented in martial arts, he went to Qingzhou Mansion and met the original owner's mother, who was the fifth young lady of Yang's family in Qingzhou.

The grandfather of the original owner saw that Chen's father was considered a genius, and the Chen family also had a little bit of strength and assets in Qingyang County, so they agreed to get married.

In this way, the Chen family in Qingyang changed from a family of merchants to a noble family, and climbed up the big tree of the Yang family in Qingzhou.

Because of the original owner's mother, the original owner's status is very high in the Chen family, and he is the first son of the old Chen family, born in the direct line, so he is favored by Chen's father, mother, and seniors of the Chen family.

Especially the old wife of the Chen family, Shao Shi, loves it. She is really afraid of melting in her mouth, and afraid of falling when holding it in her hand.

The original owner was also upbeat. He was gifted in reading since he was a child, and successfully passed the township and county examinations, and was awarded the title of scholar.

This made everyone in the Chen family pay more attention to the original owner. For this reason, Mother Chen even came forward in person, found the original owner's uncle, walked through the back door, and entrusted the relationship, so that the original owner became a blockbuster in the government examination and obtained the status of Juren.

The original owner who obtained the Juren status was not satisfied with it, but went to Chang'an to participate in the Emperor's Examination with great ambition.

In this regard, the Chen family also exhausted their wealth and gave full support. Through the relationship of the Yang family in Qingzhou, they went through the Hongnong Yang family's door, and obtained a Jinshi status for the original owner.

To put it bluntly, the original owner bears the hope of the rise of the entire Chen family in Qingyang.

Bearing the expectations of everyone in the old Chen family.

However, there are unexpected winds and rains in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

Just because after the test, I went to Huichang Temple to burn a stick of incense, and saw some things that I shouldn't have seen.

The original owner just chilled out...  

So it's no wonder that after the death of the original owner, he felt so much obsession and resentment towards the murderer Fang Yiai.

If it were Chen Qi himself, he might turn into a ghost and kill Fang Yiai.

Fortunately, Chen Qi came. Although he was completely out of touch with the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty because of "The Theory of Extermination of Buddha and Rapid Wealth", he still inherited the status of Jinshi from the original owner.

Don't underestimate Datang's Jinshi status.

Since the second year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, imperial examinations have been implemented to select scholars. There are five levels of imperial examinations: rural examination, county examination, county examination, general examination, and palace examination.

Scholars who have passed the provincial examination are regarded as Tongsheng, and they are recognized by the imperial court to issue certificates. Although they have no actual merit and benefits, they are also scholars recognized by the imperial court, so the rural examination is also called the Tongzi Examination.

After that is the county examination, the child's voice can be tested, and if you pass it, you will be a scholar.

Scholars who have gained fame and fame can be exempted from personal corvee and miscellaneous taxes.

After that, there is the county examination, and the examination is for juren.

At this time, the benefits of scholars' fame and fame are fully reflected.

Not only will all kinds of corvee and miscellaneous taxes be exempted, but the imperial court will also directly grant a large number of land benefits.

For ordinary people in this world, once they win Juren, they will completely turn over and become masters. Even if they fail to win Jinshi and become officials in the future, they are still enough to be small landlords.

It's a pity that it is impossible for ordinary people in this world to obtain the qualifications to study, and most of those who can pass the county examination are from aristocratic families, and no matter how bad they are, they must be from the families of wealthy merchants.

It is also impossible for them to really take a fancy to the benefits of the land bestowed by the court, and it is even more impossible for them to be landlords.

All they want is to pass the imperial examination and qualify their family to transform into a noble family.

On top of that is the Changan Examination. Once you pass the examination, you will be granted Jinshi status, and you will be directly appointed as an official by the imperial court at that time, Guangzong Yaozu 0.0.

It's a pity that this matter was messed up by Chen Qi who had just traveled through time.

He lost his Jinshi status in vain.

Fortunately, although he resigned from the Hanlin Academy's Shulang, a small sesame official from the ninth rank, he still has the status of a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, with the status of Jinshi, he has all the privileges of the Tang court for Jinshi.

For example: do not pay homage to officials, family members are exempted from corvee and miscellaneous taxes, etc.

In such a situation, although compared with the efforts of the Chen family, it is still a bit of a loss.

But it can be regarded as a bit of consolation, at least there is no loss of money!

Chen Qi thought helplessly, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of guilt in his heart.

"The young master is really back?!"

The two gatekeepers in front of the Chen Mansion looked at each other when they saw Chen Qi, and this idea came to their minds in unison.

The two casually trotted over and saluted Chen Qi: "I have seen the young master!"

After the two gatekeepers saluted, one ran to take the reins from Zhou Chong to lead the horse, while the other ran directly towards Chen's mansion, shouting while running: "Young master is back, young master is back!".

Chapter 127

"Master is back!"

"Master is back!"

Following the concierge's loud announcement, the entire Chen residence was alarmed.

Soon, a large group of people came to the front yard, led by an old woman with silver hair who looked like she was in her sixties, and a middle-aged beautiful woman who looked like she was in her thirties.

"I met my grandmother, I met my mother."

Seeing the old woman and the beautiful middle-aged woman, Chen Qi hastily greeted them and saluted.

But the two people in front of me are none other than Chen Qi's grandmother Shao and biological mother Yang who are the original owners of this body.

The members of the Chen family are not very prosperous, and now there are three generations in the entire Chen family.

The longest one is the Shao family in front of me, who is the grandmother of Chen Qi's body.

The second is Chen Qi's father's generation. His father, Chen Yi, is now the head of the Chen family. He is at the helm of the entire Chen family and has only married one wife, Mother Chen.

After all, given Yang's identity, Father Chen didn't dare to have other thoughts.

Fortunately, although Chen's father only married Chen's mother, he had no fewer sons and daughters. Apart from Chen Qi, the eldest son, he also had two sons and two daughters.

In the following generation, Chen Qi's body also had a second uncle, Chen Ye, who controlled the entire Chen family's security forces, a wife, Shang, a son and two daughters.

The third uncle, Chen Xi, is in charge of the business of the shop and caravan. He has one wife and two concubines, four sons and three daughters, and seven children.

Calculated in this way, in Chen Qi's generation, there are fifteen people in the Chen family.

Except sister Chen Rong and cousin Chen Yao.

Chen Qi is the oldest, and he can be regarded as the leader of the younger generation of the Chen family. Not only is he the oldest, but he also has the highest status.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

"My good grandson, you are back, you miss grandma."

Seeing that Chen Qi was about to salute, Shao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him loudly, holding Chen Qi's hand and his eyes were a little moist.

"When did you come back, why didn't you tell the family in advance, so that mother can send someone to pick you up?"
