Chapter 804 The Chen Royal Family, the clan meeting begins
[Chen Royal Family] In the courtyard, you can see the Chen family, old and young, all well-dressed, coming and going in an endless stream.
Everyone's face is filled with festive smiles.
There is still some time left for the Li clan party, and no guests have arrived yet, so everyone has nothing to do, or gathers around in small groups to chat.
The content of the chat was nothing more than about who would win the third round of assessment today.
Chen Qi and his party had also arrived here long ago.
Wanwan likes to be lively, and it was her first time to participate in a grand family gathering like the Chen family's, and she seemed extremely excited.
The most important thing is that this kind of large gathering has endless food.
Just pull your mother and walk around, and your cheeks will become bulging.
At this time, I heard someone not far away shouting, "The ancestors are here!"
As soon as he said this, the crowd suddenly became commotion.
Then I saw the crowd disperse like a tide, and I saw a stooped, grey-haired old man with a striped face and a cane with a dragon head in his hand, walking slowly with the help of Axue.
Behind him were the senior officials of the [Chen Royal Family], including the head of the family, Chen Xiaotian, the grand master, Chen Enze, the eldest prince, Chen Pei'en, the third prince, Chen Zhiman, the thirteen grand masters, and others.
As soon as they appeared, everyone in the inner hall bowed their heads and saluted.
"Ancestor!"
The old man smiled warmly and nodded in response.
When he reached the high hall, the old man took a seat on the Grand Master's chair with the help of others.
Like Chen Qi, other candidates for the throne all looked at this strange old man who suddenly appeared.
"Who is this old man?
Why do people from the [Chen Royal Family] seem to be so respectful to him?"
one candidate asked in confusion.
The person next to me explained, "He is the ancestor of our [Chen Royal Family], Chen Yinghao."
"Ancestor?
Is there such a number one person in the [Chen Royal Family]?”
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Our ancestors live in Shenyuan all the year round and rarely show up. Let alone you, even those of us from the same clan rarely see him once."
"The ancestor was the head of the Chen family for the first three generations. He is 106 years old. Although he has retreated behind the scenes for a long time, he is still Delong and Wangzun in our [Chen Royal Family]."
Just like what the man said, Chen Xiaotian, the head of the Chen family who was always highly respected, was now like a junior, living next to Chen Yinghao.
After all, in terms of seniority, Chen Xiaotian can only be regarded as the grandson of Chen Yinghao.
"Today is the day of our [Chen Royal Family's] five-year clan meeting. In addition, the third round of the election for the throne has to be evaluated, so the old man will show up."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Chen Yinghao, who had just taken his seat, first raised his head and looked at his visitor, then turned slightly to ask.
"Are all the thirteen candidates for the throne here?"
Chen Xiaotian responded respectfully, "All the ancestors are here."
"Who are these people? Can you introduce them to me?"
"yes."
Then, Chen Xiaotian took two steps forward and said loudly, "Where are the thirteen candidates for the throne who haven't come to see our ancestors?"
Upon hearing this, the thirteen candidates for the throne who were with Chen Qi came out of the queue one after another and came to the center of the hall, bowing and saluting.
"See our ancestors."
Chen Yinghao looked at them one by one and nodded with a smile, "Well, not bad, they are all indeed extraordinary."
Grand Master Chen Enze said, "After all, the next head of our Chen family will be selected from these people. He should be the best among them."
At this moment, a laughter like silver bells was heard coming from outside the hall.
"Mom, come after me, you can't catch me, hehe!"
"Wanwan, don't run around, Wanwan!"
Looking for the sound, I saw a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll running in with a few pastries in her hands.
Behind him, a woman was chasing after him.
The visitors were none other than Ye Miaoyu and Wanwan.
When they ran into the hall, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on them.
Ye Miaoyu suddenly realized that the situation was not good, took a breath of cold air, and stood there at a loss.
This girl Wanwan didn't know that she had caused a big disaster, so she still went her own way. Perhaps it was because she had successfully escaped from Ye Miaoyu's clutches, her little face was full of pride.
"Mom, come after me, come after me!"
Chen Yinghao was slightly startled, "Huh?
Whose little girl is this?
Why do you look so unfamiliar?"
Chen Shisan on the side was horrified, "Ancestor, this is the daughter of the candidate for the throne that I found. I came with her parents today. I don't want to offend you, ancestor."
Chen Shisan even wanted to die at this time.
In such a serious occasion, Wanwan's appearance seemed a bit inappropriate, and she shouldn't make a loud noise.
Wanwan is Chen Qi's daughter, and Chen Qi is the candidate he found for the throne. If the ancestor blames her, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
After saying that, Chen Shisan hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, "How outrageous! How can we allow you to make noise here in the inner hall of the Chen family? If someone comes, drive them out quickly!"
As Chen Shisan spoke, he winked at Ye Miaoyu crazily.
"etc."
But Chen Yinghao stopped him with words, "Why are you shouting so loudly? What if you scare this little girl?"
Chen Shisan: "..."
Immediately, Chen Yinghao smiled and waved to Wanwan who was not far away, "Little girl, come here."
Wanwan heard someone calling her, her eyes twitched for a while, and she walked over in confusion, "Grandpa, are you calling me?"
Chen Yinghao had a kind smile on his face, "What's your name?"
Seeing Chen Yinghao's kind face, Wanwan responded with a smile, "Wanwan, Chen Wanwan."
"Chen Wanwan, what a good name."
Chen Yinghao moved his body and patted the seat next to him, "Come on, do you want to sit here with me?"
Wanwan didn't think much about it, she jumped to Chen Yinghao's side and sat down on the Grand Master's chair.
"Grandpa, do you want some cakes?"
Wanwan picked up a piece of pastry in her hand and handed it over, "This pastry is delicious."
Chen Yinghao smiled brightly and said, "You can eat it. Grandpa, I have no teeth and can't chew."
"ah?
Since you have no teeth, doesn’t that mean you can’t eat meat? It’s so pitiful.”
Chen Yinghao laughed loudly, "Yes, it is quite pitiful."
When everyone in the Chen family nearby heard this, they couldn't help but sweat for Wanwan.
In their minds, Chen Yinghao is the ancestor of the [Chen Royal Family], equivalent to the Supreme Emperor in the ancient palace.
Such an authoritative person should be of high moral standing and should not be violated in any way.
But this little girl in front of me actually claimed that Chen Yinghao was pitiful?
How treasonous is this?
However, Chen Yinghao likes children, which is also a well-known thing in the Chen family.
I have to say that the little girl named Chen Wanwan in front of me is indeed petite, exquisite and lovable.
But it cannot be used as capital for her to act recklessly!
So, Chen Xiaotian added, "Ancestor, you have a noble status. Isn't it inappropriate for an outsider to sit here?"
Chen Yinghao glanced at Chen Xiaotian and said unhappily, "What outsider?
Since this little girl also has the surname Chen, she is a descendant of our [Chen Royal Family], what is inappropriate about letting her sit here?"
