Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 191 Visiting the Su Family
The Su family is a well-known family, so when outsiders come to visit, they will naturally deliver famous thorns.

After passing the exam, Chen Jin made some famous thorns for himself, and now they come in handy.

Gu Leyou was dressed in linen clothes, dressed as a retinue, and followed behind Chen Jin.He looked at the old-fashioned Su's family, and clicked his tongue: "Scholar, to be honest, this is the first time for me to be a guest in such a noble mansion, and I feel a little nervous."

Chen Jin replied: "Actually, it's also my first time."

Gu Leyou said with a smile: "Then I can rest assured."

The two of them are not ordinary people, but they are faced with numerous memorial archways, imperial rubbings and reliefs of birds and animals...

Invisibly, but felt the inexplicable pressure.

This is the stress brought about by the practice of visualization, and there is no immunity from it.

The appearance they show is already considered good. Ordinary people who have never seen the world are even more trembling, and may not be able to walk.

The first stop for the famous stab delivery is the concierge.

Being a concierge in a well-to-do family is a fat job, but it is not easy to be a job, you need to have connections, and you must have a wink.

"Oh, it turned out to be Chen Jieyuan from Jiangzhou. May I ask what your Excellency is here for?"

The 50-year-old concierge of the Su family asked in a neutral manner.

Chen Jin said: "I have an appointment with Miss Su Jin from your residence, and I'm here today to meet the appointment."

"Is there such a thing?"

The concierge looked at Chen Jin suspiciously.

"Is there any, but please go and report it, and you will know."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

Said, went in to report.

Gu Leyou said dissatisfiedly: "There are many rules in a big family... Scholar, I didn't expect you to be quite easy to talk to."

Chen Jin said: "Then what can I do? Is it possible to draw out the sword and fight all the way in?"

Gu Leyou held back his laughter: "That's definitely not possible. We are not evil heretics. It is right to be polite first and then fight."

The two of them didn't wait long, the door came out, and they said with a smile on their faces: "I'm sorry to trouble Chen Jieyuan, please follow me, my second master wants to see you."

"Second Master?"

Chen Jin was startled and then thought of something, but didn't ask any more questions.

The clichéd dog's eyes and the low-level drama did not take place, so there was no need to make a fuss, Gu Leyou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking along the way, winding corridors turn corners, if no one leads the way, you don't know where to go.

Gu Leyou waited and watched curiously, and suddenly thought, how did Chen Jin go to the Wang family to assassinate Wang Zhixiang, it was definitely a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair...

After walking for a while, we arrived at a side hall.

When entering the hall, Chen Jin saw an "acquaintance", isn't it Su Jin's second uncle Su Xiaocheng?

unexpected.

Back when Su Xiao became an imperial envoy, he came to Lingnan to announce the decree, asking Su Xiaowen to enter Beijing as an official.It was just because of an accident, and with Su Xiaowen's death, the matter ended without a problem.However, as an imperial envoy, he had to return to Beijing to return to his command.

It stands to reason that if he can become an imperial envoy, his career prospects will definitely not be bad, and he has a high chance of staying in Beijing as an official, or he can also be sent out to become a high-ranking official.

But now, he is wearing casual clothes, obviously at home.

But Chen Jin couldn't ask about such things.

"Nephew Chen Xian, it really is you, please sit down."

Seeing him, Su Xiaocheng greeted him quite enthusiastically.

The host and guest are seated separately.

Gu Leyou stayed outside, and it was his own idea to dress up as a retinue. In his words, "only by lowering your figure can you spy on the military situation."As a Taoist, he is in a different circle from the scholars, and if they can't get together, it's better to wait outside the door and feel more comfortable.

In the living room, Su Xiaocheng looked at Chen Jin: "Nephew seems to have lost a lot of energy, he must be exhausted after traveling all the way."

Chen Jin's current appearance was indeed quite haggard.I couldn't say anything about the matter of the god's palm that melted in my body, so I replied: "The journey is full of wind and frost, it's really tiring."

Su Xiaocheng chuckled: "When we arrive in Zhongzhou, it would be nice to rest for a few more days...By the way, where do you live now?"

"Pleasure Inn."

"That's not right, you are the direct disciple of my fourth brother. Although the fourth brother is gone, the Su family should also treat guests well."

Su Xiaocheng shouted: "Ah Quan!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a steward came in immediately: "Second Master, what are your orders?"

Su Xiaocheng said: "You send someone to tidy up the Qinghe Pavilion and let Mr. Chen live in it. Don't be negligent."

"Yes."

The steward Ah Quan obeyed and went out to work.

Chen Jin hurriedly said: "Uncle Su, don't bother, I'm just here today to visit..."

Su Xiaocheng waved his hand: "I call you 'Nephew', and you call me 'Uncle', that's the name. My nephew comes to be a guest, how can uncle not keep guests? If you say it, it will make people laugh. "

"Thank you very much, uncle."

"That's right."

Su Xiaocheng smiled, and sighed again: "My nephew came back to Jiangzhou from Lingnan alone. After studying for half a year, he passed the exam and won the first place. This kind of talent is extraordinary."

Chen Jinqian said softly, "There are so many teachers who teach well."

In fact, this is not modesty. At that time, the teacher Su Xiaowen cooperated with him to write "33 Anthology". The foundation of scripture and meaning laid.

Su Xiaocheng said with a smile: "My fourth younger brother is indeed good at classics and articles. However, nephew Chen Xian's talent and learning are beyond doubt. Looking back suddenly, the man is there, in a dimly lit place'; these famous lines are enough to overwhelm all Jiangnan talents."

Qianchao information is blocked, but it is not isolated. Certain things can be learned as long as you are willing to inquire and collect them.

Jiangzhou and Zhongzhou both belong to the south of the Yangtze River, so it is only normal for Chen Jin's reputation to spread here.

Hearing what Su Xiaocheng said, Chen Jin thought, the other party's warm attitude has something to do with it?
Fame and prestige are the appearance of a scholar, and they add a lot of points.

Su Xiaocheng asked again: "My dear nephew, I heard some news that when we were in Jiangzhou, Wang invited you to join the poetry club and even proposed marriage, but you rejected it. Why?"

Chen Jin replied, "Uncle, why bother to ask?"

Su Xiaocheng smiled: "Then have you ever thought about what will happen if you offend Mrs. Wang? And as far as I know, there is no marriage contract between you and Jin'er."

"A marriage contract is a document, but a verbal promise is still valid."

"He's a person who values ​​friendship... Let's not talk about the matter between you and Jin'er. How did you later obtain the qualifications for the imperial examination in Jiangzhou? Did you use a roundabout way to make a fool of yourself?"

Chen Jin shook his head: "To tell you the truth, I don't know much about what happened afterwards, and the Wang family suddenly stopped embarrassing me."

Su Xiaocheng stared at him, as if he wanted to see some flaws, and pondered: "Maybe there is someone to help?"

Of course Chen Jin knew what was going on, it was not a nobleman, but a jackal who wanted to take his luck.But this kind of thing can't be seen, it's better to be completely burned by that fire forever, without leaving any clues: "Uncle, I'm in Jiangzhou, where do I know any noble people?"

Su Xiaocheng no longer entangled with this, and changed the topic: "You have dealt with the Wang family many times in Jiangzhou, in your opinion, what is the Wang family like?"

"To tell the truth?"

"Of course."

Chen Jin pretended to be thinking, and then said: "Arrogant and domineering, unscrupulous, with a look of complacency."

Hearing this, Su Xiaocheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chen Jin asked: "Uncle, am I right?"

"Right or wrong, everyone has their own judgment. If you say what you think, then you are right. Because you have such a perception of Wang, so you don't want to cling to the past, am I right?"

"That's right, the way is different, and there is no conspiracy."

The appreciation in Su Xiaocheng's eyes became more intense: "Nephew, do you know that a shocking event happened in the Wang clan."

Chen Jin looked appropriately puzzled: "What's the big deal?"

Su Xiaocheng said word by word: "Patriarch Wang, Wang Zhixiang was assassinated."

"Ah? No!"

Chen Jin shouted.

Su Xiaocheng said: "This matter has spread widely and shocked the whole world. But once Wang Zhixiang died, the internal struggle for the position of Patriarch in the Wang Clan was already fierce and chaotic. Therefore, you did not join the Wang Clan at the beginning. It is really a wise move. Otherwise, it will definitely be involved and greatly affected."

Chen Jin said "Oh": "Actually, I have never met Patriarch Wang, so I don't know what to say."

Su Xiaocheng said with a smile: "Such a big event involves a huge amount, it's best if you don't get involved."

It could be heard that he was quite happy about Wang Zhixiang's death.

There is no deep hatred between the Wang family and the Su family, but the relationship is not good. When something happens to the other party, the Su family just watches the excitement from the other side.

The mood of the audience is always good.

"Nephew, you have driven all the way, and you are full of dust, why don't you go down and rest first, and have a banquet tonight to welcome you."

"Thank you uncle."

Chen Jin made a salute and left the hall. Gu Leyou followed and asked in a low voice, "What did you talk about? Did you promise to marry Su Jin to you?"

"We didn't talk about it?"

"No talk? But after talking for so long..."

Chen Jin smiled and said: "It's all polite words."

Gu Leyou muttered: "That's nonsense, you have to be patient."

"Being patient is not a bad thing after all. No, we can move in."

"Haha, not bad, I can finally experience the treatment of a guest of honor."

Qinghexie is a unique courtyard with rockeries, flowing water, flowers, plants and trees, which is clean and elegant.

In Su's mansion, there are many similar courtyards, all of which are used to entertain guests.

In addition to the yard, the steward Ah Quan also arranged for two handsome maidservants to serve, and Gu Leyou said he was comfortable.At the beginning, the maidservant regarded the Taoist priest as a long-term follower, and she didn't have much good looks, but Gu Leyou, who was so good at it, teased him a few times, and the maidservant was so amused that she flaunted herself.

After teasing the maid, Gu Leyou ran over to report to Chen Jin: "Scholar, these two girls are not ordinary maids, they must be Su Shi's eyeliner, here to stare at us."

Chen Jin gave a thumbs up: "I didn't expect to be discovered by you."

Gu Leyou giggled: "Don't dare to say anything else, our family has its own way of dealing with women. This point, scholar, you should learn from me."

……

In the living room, Su Xiaocheng was sitting and thinking, when footsteps sounded, a young man broke in.

Seeing him, Su Xiaocheng sighed: "Chong'er, how many times have I told you. When it comes to big things, you are calm, and you are more calm about small things. How can you behave when you are in a hurry?"

The person who came was none other than his only son Su Yuanchong.

Su Yuan rushed to complain, his eyes rolled: "Father, I heard that Seventh Sister's senior brother surnamed Chen came to the door, why didn't he see anyone?"

The seventh sister is Su Jin. She got this title because she ranked seventh.

Su Xiaocheng's face darkened: "The people below are talking more and more, they really want to be beaten."

After a pause, he said: "I have already arranged for nephew Chen Xian to live in Qinghexie. I will hold a banquet tonight to meet the wind. You can meet people. Then you have to control your mouth. Don't talk nonsense and provoke others." people joke."

"Nephew Chen Xian? He even lives in Qinghexie! Father, you are very optimistic about him."

"Heh, it's Jiangzhou Jieyuan who won the top spot on the gold list; he has poetic talent and literary talent, isn't it normal for me to be optimistic about him?"

Su Yuanchong touched his chin: "What about Xie Zizi?"

Su Xiaocheng flicked his sleeves: "The Xie family came to propose marriage, and we never agreed, why should we explain?"

Su Yuanchong blinked his eyes: "But didn't my father say last time that the marriage between the two families will benefit both parties, and harm both parties if they break up? It made Seventh Sister angry, and she would rather live in Songshan than go home."

Su Xiaocheng coughed dryly: "This moment and the other moment are not the same... Besides, your seventh sister's life events are quite special. With her character, do you think she will listen to me? Even if it's her parents' orders or the matchmaker's words, , but your fourth uncle is no longer here, how can I do something like bullying my niece and have someone poke her in the back?"

Su Yuanchong said: "But uncle's attitude is very firm."

"Maybe he will change his mind after meeting Chen Jin."

"Father, are you really so optimistic about Chen Jin?"

Su Xiaocheng muttered: "I remember at the beginning, I went to Gaozhou Prefecture on orders. The first time I saw this boy, I thought he was good. He had a calm attitude and a free and easy temperament. He was completely different from the poor people who came from the frontier. He didn't have that kind of personality. He was a timid little boy. I felt sorry for him at that time. I felt that his background was too meager, and without the support of teachers, it would be difficult for him to leave Lingnan in the future. But I didn’t expect that in just two or three years, he not only left Lingnan Bian Huang was still named on the Jiangzhou Gold List and became Chen Jieyuan. Do you think ordinary people can achieve this kind of experience and achievement?"

Su Yuanchong said: "Sounds really powerful."

"Not only that, he also wrote two poems "Butterfly Love Flower" and one "Sapphire Case". With these three poems alone, he has become famous in the literary world and can occupy a place. How can such a poetic talent be ordinary people? Can it be compared?"

"Well, the lyrics he wrote are really exquisite, especially the first song "Butterfly Love Flower", Seventh Sister copied it countless times, people are crazy."

Su Xiaocheng coughed: "It's nothing more than a son and daughter's love, but this son's vision is even better, he is courageous, dares to refuse Wang's solicitation, and has his own standpoint. Such a young man who has a long history with our family Junyan, it would be a pity if he was pushed out and turned away."
