Chapter 106 Homecoming
Although Nan'an County has thousands of miles across, with Jiang Chen's cultivation level at the ninth level of Qi Refining in the late stage, he has reached a small city in just half a day, and mortals are coming and going...
This Hejian County, located deep in the mountains, has not been poisoned by the war in the cultivation world. It is really too remote. Otherwise, Old Dao Chen would not have lived in Hejian County for decades.
"Huh!"
Jiang Chen was about to leave Hejian County, but suddenly the light fell. This was a backyard with two entrances. Under the banyan tree, a seven or eight-year-old child was shaking his head and studying.
"I entered the city yesterday and returned with tears.
Those who have silk and silk all over their bodies are not silkworm breeders.”
This poem of silkworm woman was left to his younger brother Jiang Wen when Jiang Chen left home. Qi State emphasized the article. Jiang Chen hopes that these poems and essays can help him go further in the Wenhua and fame field in the future.
It’s not that there were no poems like the masterpieces of the eternal songs in Qi and even the ancient Chinese. It’s just that the earth’s poems left by Jiang Chen are unique and have a unique style. A few of them are enough to make Jiang Wen famous all over the world.
According to the customs of Qi, those with outstanding poetry and prose talents have a very high status. Unless they commit treason, they can generally establish the world as a transcendent. Even if the dynasties change, these literary giants who are full of poetry and prose can not only enjoy all their glory and wealth, but also open yamen and build government offices and guard the country.
"I dare to ask my little brother, what poem are you reading?"
Jiang Chen walked up to the boy and asked, but he had the style of a scholar in his words. The boy raised his head, but was not afraid of being alive. He closed the book in his hand and handed it to Jiang Chen. He said, "The silkworm woman is the poem of Jiang Wen, a scholar in this county, Jiang Da Talent."
"Jiang Wen asked about the West Wind Gathering."
Jiang Chen looked at the collection of poems in his hand. He looked through them from beginning to end and recorded twenty-three poems. In addition to this silkworm woman, there were several poems left by himself, but he had never heard of the others. He was very extraordinary when he recited them casually. It seems that Jiang Wen has made great progress over the years.
Jiang Wen has been smart since childhood. He likes poetry and books. After years of study, he has not only achieved academic performance, but also went further on the road of poetry. In addition to the poems left by Jiang Chen, he has also created a lot of them. Now he is famous and even has published poems, which is as stylish as a poet in Hejian County.
"Jiang Xiucai's poems are indeed extraordinary. Thank you, brother, for resolving your doubts. You and I are destined to be destined to be. This elixir will be given to you."
Jiang Chen left behind a Pill of Intelligence, an ordinary auxiliary pill, I don’t know when it was fought. Two bottles were helpful for mortals to enlighten their wisdom.
"Immortal, Immortal..."
The boy watched Jiang Chen leave with a stunned gaze, and was amazed in his heart. Jiang Chen naturally could not have imagined his unintentional actions today. Many years later, he became a novelist who specialized in writing novels of gods and ghosts. Jiang Wen's poems attracted immortals to come down to earth, and the story of asking boys under the tree spread throughout Qi and the mortal society of several surrounding countries. It was used to promote Jiang Wen's poems, but also to teach young people to study hard.
...
"It's been more than ten years, and everything here is so familiar."
Jiang Chen left Hejian County and arrived in Hejian Village in a blink of an eye. He had already realized everything after scanning his spiritual sense. There was no big change in the entire village.
There is still a college at the east end of the village. However, the old scholar Qian Wenshan has been dead for many years. The tomb is growing on the back mountain of the academy. Now the teacher in the academy is nothing but Jiang Wen.
There is still a Taoist temple at the west end of the village. The host Jiang Chen naturally recognized that a Taoist priest from the Taoist temple more than ten years ago is now a middle-aged Taoist priest in his thirties, and he is very majestic. The incense of the Taoist temple is not bad, and the road at the door was crushed by a carriage and two very deep ruts were broken.
The original small house of the Jiang family was still there, but there was a three-in-one yard next to it. Jiang Chen left a lot of money back then. Not to mention building a yard, it would be enough to use it to clear the officialdom. Old Dao Chen is also a monk, so he naturally has no shortage of gold and silver.
In the Jiang family's courtyard, Jiang Chen also saw his parents, middle-aged man in his forties, dressed well. He just swept his mind and heard a lot of people talking about it. It turned out that the Jiang family was no longer a farmer of the past, but now the largest landlord in Hejian Village. The old man in the Jiang family is naturally a landlord.
Jiang Chen's father was reading a book, while his mother was doing some housework, teaching a little girl beside him how to be a human being.
"...Learn more from your second brother in everything, don't worry about everything, your father and I. You will be ten years old after the new year. Your temper will not change. I will see who dares to ask you..."
"Mom, I understand. My second brother always talks about me, you always talk about me, Oh, it would be great if my elder brother didn't run away from home, I definitely wouldn't say about me often."
"You haven't even seen your elder brother before, how did you know that your elder brother will spoil you?"
"What the second brother said, the second brother said that the eldest brother is the best brother in the world."
"Oh, I don't know how Chen'er is living outside. Although the world is peaceful now, he is thousands of miles away from home..."
Jiang's father, who was standing beside him, put down the book in his hand, and the conversation between his daughter and Jiang's mother reminded him of his son who had not seen him for more than ten years.
"Chen'er is a blessed person. It is natural that he has no reason for him to come back. I will go to the Taoist temple to burn incense tomorrow and ask God for blessings."
Soon, Jiang Wen also went home, and Jiang Chen kept watching everything with his spiritual sense.
"Dad, mom, I'm back."
"It's just hard for the academy. Look at you sweating profusely."
Jiang's mother felt a little sorry for her son. After Qian Wenshan passed away, her son took over the teaching work, not to make money, but to teach the children to study. Of course, during this period, he did not delay his admission to the county examination scholar and writing poetry.
"Now Your Majesty has announced that the world has caused harm to the world because the demons have caused trouble. Enko has suspended it for three years. In these three years, I happened to be with my parents, teaching and educating people, and writing poetry."
Jiang Wen said with a smile, with a righteous and upright look between his eyebrows, and he looked like a talented person. Jiang Chen couldn't help but think that he was a talented man.
"Mr. Xu from the county town has asked a matchmaker several times to talk about the matchmaker. What do you think? I heard that Xu Yatou is a woman with both talent and beauty."
"Dad, mom. The child is determined to go to Beijing to take the exam and seek some fame. He doesn't want to talk about his children's relationship for the time being. Back then, my elder brother left home to seek justice. We all support him together. Now I am studying for the imperial examination, and I hope you can understand the child."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about children for the time being, but your elder brother, alas..."
As he spoke, Jiang's mother wiped her tears. Her words were full of concern, and her mother was worried about her son's journey, and Jiang Chen burst into tears inadvertently.
"Jiang Yu, you go to the outer yard to play. My second brother and his parents have something to talk about."
"Okay, avoid me every time."
Jiang Yu muttered and ran to the outer yard to play.
Jiang Wen: "Dad, mom, brother, there has been no news over the years. Should we ask someone for information?"
"Don't go and inquire. When it's time to come back, Chen'er will naturally come back."
Jiang's father decisively rejected Jiang Wen's suggestion.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen could no longer hold it. He originally didn't plan to meet his relatives. He just took a look and left, but now he can't help it anymore.
Instead of flying with the air, he walked in from the entrance of the village alone.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
"Uncle Niu Er, you don't recognize me anymore. I am Jiang Chen, the eldest son of the Jiang family."
"Jiang Chen? Jiang Chen is back!"
"Jiang Chen? I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you're finally back."
"Jiang Chen is back..."
The people in the village suddenly became lively. The neighbors of the village, with many people and few individuals, are all major events. Jiang Chen has not been home for more than ten years, and now he is back in his hometown. He is not the only one who is excited and happy, but the villagers are also very happy.
Jiang Chen greeted people all the way, came to the Jiang family's mansion, and knocked on the door.
"Here, come, young master, who are you looking for?"
A honest man opened the door and was slightly stunned when he saw Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "My name is Jiang Chen, who is the eldest son of the Jiang family."
"Jiang Chen? Ah, you are the eldest young master!"
When the big man heard this, he was overjoyed. He looked up and down at Jiang Chen and shouted loudly: "Master, Madam, the eldest master is back. The eldest master is back."
When the parents and brothers met, they were naturally very excited. Looking at their mother who was crying, they stammered at the second brother who was secretly wiping their tears, they smoked and tried their best to hold back, and Jiang Yu who was hiding behind their parents' feet and kept peeking at them.
When Jiang's mother saw her son standing there safely, she was already an adult, and her temperament was far different from that of ordinary people. She looked very good at it. She felt that she had been in a good life. She had thousands of longings and worries in her heart, and now she burst out together.
"Why are you crying? On a great day, go to the backyard first. Chen'er just returned home and drinks some tea from home. Come and prepare lunch."
The Jiang family immediately became lively, and the five servants at home immediately began to kill chickens and cows, preparing to cook.
During the whole day, Jiang Chen did not talk to his parents in detail, but instead had dinner and chatted with his family, visited several old men in the village, and received some visiting neighbors. He did not get free until the evening, and the whole family sat together and talked.
"If there is no peace today, the cultivation world is in chaos. Chen'er, what are your plans?"
Jiang’s father, Jiang’s mother and Jiang Wen listened to Jiang Chen briefly mentioning the opportunities over the years. Jiang Chen demonstrated some spells casually, even rising from the wind, invisible, etc., and did not hide anything from his parents and relatives.
Seeing that he had achieved success in his cultivation, his parents and brothers were naturally happy. In Jiang Wen's words, this was equivalent to establishing the foundation of the Jiang family for a century.
Hearing his father's question, Jiang Chen said, "Now the cultivation world is in chaos. I originally planned to come back to see you and go to seclusion. The higher my cultivation level, the further I can go on the road of immortality in the future."
"Chen'er, do you still have to leave? Or stay or get married and have children."
Jiang Ma couldn't help but persuade.
"Hmph, what do you know about women? Chen'er, don't listen to your mother."
Father Jiang scolded.
"The road to immortality is a road without turning back. Once you embark on this road of seeking immortals and asking for the way, it will be difficult to turn back. I can't stop either. The matter of marrying a wife and having children and shining the family lintel must be completed by my second brother."
Jiang Chen gave his mother an apology look.
"Okay, you can rest at home for a few days before leaving."
Father Jiang was also in a good mood and said with some trepidation.
"Something is going to be done, so of course I have to stay at home for a while. I'm afraid it will take some years to go home next time."
