Qingzhou, Guangping County, Chen Mansion.

Twenty or thirty years have passed by in a blink of an eye. The Chen family in Guangping has undergone earth-shaking changes. The house has expanded a lot, and the mansion has become more and more grand. Even passers-by can't help but look at it more.

Eye.

Once upon a time, although the Chen family in Guangping was also a wealthy and scholarly family, it was not ranked high in the entire Guangping County.

Opportunities in the world are unpredictable.

Chen Jiaxian, the head of the Chen family, was named on the gold list and was called in the Jinluan Hall. He was a Jinshi and was placed in an ordinary family. This is already a glorious ancestor. Green smoke rises from the ancestral grave and is envied by everyone in the city.

However, I don’t know what kind of bad luck this Chen family had.

Chen Jia first won the Jinshi title, which was just an appetizer. In the same year, his younger son Chen Peng was awarded the first prize in high school and became a handsome young man. He laid a top foundation in Confucianism and Taoism in one fell swoop. His future was bright and he could be said to have unlimited glory.

A double Jinshi, a father and son passed the exam at the same time.

This is not over yet.

The eldest daughter of the Chen family went to Guigu Shuilian Cave, a sacred place for military strategists. She did not like red clothes and preferred martial arts. She did not give in to women and became a famous female general in the Celestial Dynasty, commanding the ace army of the Celestial Dynasty.

The most important thing is that it is said that the eldest son Chen Chu is even more extraordinary. After joining the Taoist sect, he is as if he is a highly accomplished elder of the Immortal Court.

The father, son, and daughter were all heroes among men, and the whole Qingzhou was shocked by it. It became a legend. The daughter of the Chen family and the two brothers of the Chen family also became "other people's children" and became Guangping County, and even

The childhood haze of all the teenagers in Qingzhou.

As the saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Others were envious of the Chen family's meteoric rise, but in the backyard of the Chen family, Mother Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Thirty years have passed by, and perhaps she has maintained her appearance well. Mother Chen is not as old as her 70s or 80s, but looks like a forty-year-old lady. She just has a few more silvery patches on her temples, making her look quite young.

At this moment, Mother Chen lowered her head and looked at her in a daze.

In front of her, there was a portrait painting. In the painting, there were Father Chen and Mother Chen, the eldest daughter Chen Wan, the second son Chen Chu, and the youngest son Chen Pengju, a family of five reunited.

"Madam, do you miss the children again?"

Chen Jia first saw Mother Chen like this, shook his head and said:

"They take the time to travel thousands of miles to come back to see you and me every year. Why are you worried?"

"My son has traveled thousands of miles and my mother is worried, but I can't rest assured."

Mother Chen glanced at Chen Jiaxian angrily and asked casually:

"The Celestial Court has a new leadership. I asked you to inquire about the whereabouts of the children. Have you inquired?"

"this"

Father Chen smiled sarcastically,

A few years ago, he relied on some connections in the court to inquire about his son and daughter. However, as his son and daughter soared to the sky, promoted to the realm of great supernatural powers, and the level of secret-related matters increased sharply, he became somewhat powerless.

.

Especially the eldest son, Chu Chen, couldn't find out at all.

"They are now high-ranking officials in the DPRK. How can they inquire casually? It's hard to say."

Chen Jia waved his hands first and was about to deal with it. However, just as he said "it's hard to say", a message from his spiritual consciousness came to his ears, making him startled:

"The county governor is here, and the county governor came hand in hand, and even called on you and me by name."

When Mother Chen heard this, she was a little surprised:

"Sir, what happened? Why did the two parents-in-law suddenly come to the door and want to see me, a woman who is a woman?"

"I don't know."

Chen Jia shook his head first, and was quite curious in his heart, but he didn't say anything more and said:

"Madam, let's go, don't neglect our distinguished guest."

While they were talking, the Chen family couple did not delay, and immediately left the courtyard and rushed towards the front room.

At this moment, the butler has already welcomed the guests into the hall.

"Rare guests, rare guests~"

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

Chen Jia first greeted the county guard and the county governor familiarly, but as soon as he arrived in the lobby, his expression changed slightly.

There was no other reason. The guests who came to the door were not the county guard and the two county governors. On the contrary, they did not even sit down, but stood in the hall.

In front of them, a middle-aged man in Confucian robes and an old Taoist in Taoist robes sat leisurely.

The governor of Guangping County and the governor of Guangping County stood respectfully behind the man in Confucian robes, the old Taoist, with lowered eyebrows and submissive eyes.

Chen Jiaxian was born as a fellow Jinshi. Although he was idle at home, he had advanced Taoist practices. He was a well-known local Confucian and had good connections in Qingzhou. When he saw the old Taoist man in Confucian robes in the house, he quickly recognized his identity.

, with a look of surprise on his face:

The person who came was none other than the current Qingzhou Mu Zong Wenyuan, the "Old Man Tingzhang" in charge of the Qingzhou Ghost and God Department, the first and second leaders in charge of Qingzhou Yin and Yang gathered in the Chen family.

During this battle, even Chen Jiaxian, who had once been a roll call player in the Jinluan Hall, was a little confused. Fortunately, he was also a well-rounded man. He was extremely shocked and did not lose his etiquette:

"This junior has met senior Zong and senior Tingzhang."

After saying that, Chen Jia stretched out his hand and said:

"Two seniors, please take a seat!"

Qingzhou Mu Zong Wenyuan smiled and waved:

"Master Chen, Mrs. Chen is the master. Please take your seats."

The governor of the prefecture, "Old Man Tingzhang," smiled and agreed:

"Yes, there is no reason to overshadow the guest."

"Yes yes yes~"

Chen Jiaxian, Chen's mother was inexplicably surprised, but the kindness was difficult, so the couple had no choice but to sit on the main seat in trepidation. Although it was their own home, they were quite restrained and only sat half-full.

"Master Chen, Mrs. Chen, I don't know what happened recently."

After they were seated, everyone exchanged pleasantries.

Originally, when Chen Jiaxian and Chen's mother saw Zhou Mu and Zhou Du Guan come to their door in person, they thought there was something big going on and felt a little nervous and curious. However, what the couple did not expect was that Zhou Mu and Zhou Du Guan were just chatting with each other and expressing greetings.

.

Until he said goodbye and left, neither the state pastor nor the state governor mentioned anything serious.

This came as a surprise to Mrs. Chen.

"Master, what happened?"

"Chu'er, it's Chu'er."

Chen Jiaxian was a little confused at first, but just now he asked the county governor privately through spiritual consciousness. The county governor knew what happened, swallowed his saliva, and murmured:

"In this Immortal Court High Gong Conference, our Erlang was elected as the Great Elder of Immortal Court, and became one of the eighteen ministers of the Celestial Dynasty."

"The Great Elder of Immortal Court, an important minister of the country"

Mother Chen was also from a scholarly family, and she was also knowledgeable. When she heard "an important minister of the country", she immediately understood what happened, and was shocked in her heart. If the elder of Xianting was placed in the court, he would be the elder of the cabinet.

, once the prime minister.

My son is an important minister of the country.

Mother Chen couldn't help but feel a little dreamy.

Chen Jiaxian was even more excited than Chen's mother. He was a Jinshi scholar and had served as an official. No one knew better than him what it meant to be "an important minister of the country".

"There's green smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. No, it's more than just green smoke. It's like blue clouds rising up to the ninth heaven."

Chen Jia was so excited that he could not speak coherently.

Just when Chen's father and Chen's mother were so excited that they could not recover, the housekeeper on the side hurriedly came to report.

"Sir, madam, the Qingyang Marquis Mansion presents a greeting card!"

"Master, the Diyuan Dragon Palace has sent an invitation. Please come to the Dragon Palace with your wife to have a chat."

"Master, the streets outside the house are all blocked."

Outside the Chen Mansion, there was a bustling crowd, and distinguished guests came one after another.

The Qingyang Marquis Mansion, the powerful gentry from all over Qingzhou, and the great Immortal Sect.

All over Qingzhou, prestigious families and sects came to visit, and the streets outside Chen's mansion were packed to the brim, causing a sensation throughout Guangping County.

That night, all the young talents in Guangping County were haunted by haze and nightmares.

The bright moon is crescent, the blue water is cold and the pool is cold.

Qingying, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the clear water pool, suddenly opened her eyes, with a faint smile on her face, and said to the void:

"Erlang, your parents are fine. You don't have to worry. The Chen Mansion is now crowded with people coming to congratulate you. You can be said to have honored your ancestors this time. I am very pleased."
