Chapter 11 Rules
The carriage was parked outside an ordinary gate. The years were mottled, washing away the red tiles and white walls of the Shen Mansion. Although it was very clean, it looked a little old and somehow didn't renovate it.
When you enter it, there is a white screen wall, which is covered with vines and dotted with small yellow flowers. You can tell that you are many years old at a glance.
After passing the screen wall, it was wide open, and the lake was caught in sight, several miles wide, and the trees on the other side were invisible. Several servants were waiting here in small boats, carrying Shen Yuanjing slowly to the other side.
The outside of the boat is simple and unpretentious, but there is a unique world inside. It uses precious wood as beams, painted bamboo as sheds, and carved with landscapes, fish and birds, and various patterns, which are very exquisite.
There were seasonal fruits and fruits on the table, red and green, and they were beautiful and beautiful. There were also two maids, one was making tea and the other played the piano. He sat upright by the window, and the lake was sparkling, reflecting the sunset, and the water and sky were the same. A breeze blew, which brought a little coolness. If it weren't for the meeting, the lake would be worth his lingering.
Chen Tenghou went up to bow in the pavilion on the other side, bowed his hand to salute. He accidentally saw the long sword hanging around Shen Yuanjing's waist. He felt a stern and said in his heart: "It's true as I expected. This man is a swordsman, so I don't know how powerful his sword is than his fist."
The two of them arrived in the living room together and saw two people talking about gossip. One was Chen Ze, the governor of Chongjun County; the other was taller and thinner, with the same clothes as calm, not surprisingly, using ordinary fabrics, with square faces, a long beard hanging on them, and a smile on their face, making people feel very friendly.
When the man saw Shen Yuanjing coming, he stood up and greeted him: "I often hear people say that there was a genius in the south. He was among the top ten people at a young age. He is the most outstanding young man today. I always want to meet him. I got what I wish today, and it was indeed handsome and well-deserved."
He was very enthusiastic. Although he didn't mention his name, Shen Yuanjing also guessed that he was the master here. Shen Liushu, the head of the Shen family, was the eighth-ranked master on the ground list.
He bowed and said, "Senior Chen is a great honor. I often hear his reputation as a senior. I have always admired him very much. I should have come to pay my respects, but I also thought that the birthday party was approaching, so it was difficult to disturb him, but unexpectedly, my misconduct alarmed my senior."
Shen Liu Shuo smiled and said, "It is normal for young people to be more popular. If not, how could we know you are hiding it?"
"Where, where." Shen Yuanjing's expression was very calm and he casually made a few polite words. The three of them sat down with the guest and host, Chen Teng stood behind his father, silently.
Shen Yuanjing's heart moved, took a sip of tea, and then asked straight to the point: "I wonder why senior asked me to come today?"
Chen Liushu was stunned, then smiled and said, "That day, my brother came over and said that Jun'er offended the young hero. Although he had punished him heavily, he showed that he was not sincere enough. He wanted to apologize to Mr. Chen again, but he felt embarrassed to see you directly, so he begged me to say peace from it."
Shen Yuanjing felt that this was impossible, but it was not easy to point it out. He laughed at him and said, "The county magistrate is too polite. I have not suffered any small things, so I have forgotten them a long time ago."
Chen Liushu nodded, not as if he was surprised, and said, "That's great. Mr. Chen has a lot of things. He doesn't care about these trivial matters of children. He is really a role model."
He paused and continued, "I, Chen, usually liked the young man the most, is a young man like you. Unfortunately, the Shen family is the oldest family in Middle Earth, and there are not many people like you in the clan."
Shen Yuanjing also let him go around the circle and said vaguely: "The head of the Shen family is absurd. Who knows that the Shen family is booming and talented, and they are better than me. Not to mention the distance, it is this young master Chen Teng, who is still above me in the list of people."
Chen Liushu shook his head and said, "He is one of these big families, and there is nothing to say. If there is another one, I will be satisfied." As he spoke, he cast his eyes straight over.
Shen Yuanjing felt a little moved and said to himself: "The show is coming!" He was just a little puzzled. Why did the other party's methods look so rough.
Sure enough, I heard Chen Ze say, "It is really admirable that the head of the family is dedicated to the public. Isn't there a great opportunity in front of me now?"
Chen Liushu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What are you referring to?"
"Head of the family, this time you are going to choose a son-in-law of Yuyao's niece for your birthday. It is well known to everyone." Chen Ze talked: "You feel sorry for your niece and often say you want to find a good home for him; you are reluctant to leave her and want to keep her by your side. Now there is a way to have the best of both worlds. If you recruit an excellent husband, will it be solved all of them?"
Chen Liushu pondered for a while, nodded, and said slowly: "What you said makes sense, but where can I find a son-in-law in the dragon? According to the status of the Shen family and the conditions of Yu Yao, there are almost no ones worthy of the aristocratic family. Needless to say, the Li family, the Su family, what is the name of the top person in the Xiao family? How many people are there?"
Chen Ze took the conversation and said, "Xiao Anshi, the 17th place in the list of people, and he is forty-five years old." Chen Liushu shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, Yu Yao is only 28 years old, and it's too much different."
Shen Yuanjing watched the two of them sing and reconcile, expressionless, and almost laughed out loud. This "28" is not sixteen, but the real twenty-eight years old.
"That's hard to deal with. There is one person in the Gu family. Although he is less than the top 30 people, he is only ten years old at Da Yuyao, which is suitable. Unfortunately, he has already had a engagement." Chen Ze sighed: "Unless the head of the family goes to the family under the giant clan, there may be a missing Junjie."
Chen Liushu said unhappily: "I don't like to listen to my brother Ze. Although Yuyao is not my wife, I regard it as my legitimate daughter. How can I settle for my daughter at will? It's inappropriate."
The room fell silent. Shen Yuanjing didn't say anything, but picked up the tea cup and sipped it leisurely. He felt that the tea and water were very particular, leaving a fragrance in his mouth and cheeks.
Even the cup seemed to have been carefully selected, with a wild goose with spreading its wings printed on it, but the one that was sinking across the lake was a green phoenix, and the one that was sinking and relaxing was naturally a phoenix.
Shen Yuanjing didn't move at all on his face, but secretly mocked the Shen family for being hypocritical, humble on his face, but arrogant inside.
For example, everyone in the martial arts world praised the ancient Shen family but was not rigid, and did not even set up their generations, allowing their descendants to name them at will. But in his opinion, it was actually strictly controlled. Just looking at the quietness of the fifth-ranked person, and there was no position to sit in the seat, we can see the clues.
The genealogy is even more exaggerated. The Shen family has a direct genealogy and a side genealogy. Even a useless person like Shen Jun is naturally in the direct genealogy because of his good background. It is said that a master of the Shen family is just a side genealogy. He wants to enter his son into the legitimate genealogy, but he cannot.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanjing could only sigh at the good luck of the Shen family. The direct descendants have always been so successful, and the masters on the earth have been endless for generations to prevent the Xiao Wall from causing trouble.
