"Stop, who is coming?"

When the guards in front of the Cheng Mansion saw Chu Xiang approaching, they immediately blocked him with their troops and at the same time looked at Chu Xiang.

I saw that Chu Yan was dusty and dusty, and his original white shirt was now full of stains. In addition, his clear and pale appearance completely matched the temperament of a poor scholar, so the guards naturally treated him coldly.

Chu Xiang bowed to the guard and said, "My name is Chu Xiang, and Master Yushi is my uncle. I hope that the elder brother of the guard can help inform me."

Hearing Chu Yan's words, the guard's expression softened. He obviously knew that such a thing was happening, but he was also doubtful and asked, "Do you have any certificate here?"

"This is Xiaosheng's official document. It has my uncle's official seal on it." Chu Xiang took out an ultimatum from his arms and handed it to the guard.

The guard took the document, glanced at it, and immediately looked respectful.

"Mr. Chu, please come in!" Then he led Chu Xiang into the Cheng Mansion.

"Didn't you say that your nephew will not arrive in the capital for more than half a year? Why is he here so soon?"

"Yeah, it's really strange. He can't be a fake!"

"Fake? Who has the courage? Doesn't he want to live?"

After Chu Yan left, the remaining guards chatted a few words in low voices.

The Cheng Mansion was very large, and the guards led Chu Yan through the long corridor and through the green forest. After walking for about a stick of incense, they arrived at the hall of a separate courtyard.

Chu Xiang was waiting in the hall. After the guard went to report, about half a stick of incense later, a shrewd old man wearing Chinese clothes and a goatee came over and began to look at Chu Xiang from a distance.

"Nephew Chu Xiang pays homage to his uncle." Seeing the old man approaching, Chu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him respectfully.

"Are you really a nightmare?" The person who came was Cheng Yuanxiong, but there was some disbelief on his face.

"It's Xiner!" Chu Xiang also looked at Cheng Yuanxiong, who had white hair on his head, and responded seriously.

"Yes, you are somewhat similar to Brother Chu. Since you are here, you should freshen up first, rest for a while, and then have dinner together in the evening!" Cheng Yuanxiong did not ask why Chu Xiang came so early.

"Nang'er thanked uncle." Chu Xiang bowed to Cheng Yuanxiong again, and then was led out of the hall by the two maids.

Chu Yan was taken to a separate courtyard. It was quiet and pleasant, with flowers and grass, and fresh air. Looking at the bonsai in front of him, he naturally felt a lot more relaxed.

"Sir, the hot water has been prepared. Please take a bath and change your clothes." The maid of Cheng Mansion walked out of the room and bowed to Chu Xiang.

"Thank you, ladies!" Chu Yan's body was sore, sore, and smelly of sweat. She really needed a good wash.

When he came to the room, he saw that the two maids had no intention of leaving. Just as Chu Xiang was about to speak, the two maids suddenly stepped forward and reached out to help Chu Xiang undress. Chu Xiang was so scared that Chu Xiang quickly took two steps back.

"You two girls, men and women are not allowed to be intimate with each other. It's fine if you are a young lady. Please stay out of the way first!" Chu Xiang's heart was beating wildly, feeling that a maid from a wealthy family was too bold and unrestrained.

"Yes, the clothes are all ready, please leave!" The two maids concealed a smile, bowed slightly to Chu Xiang, pulled down the door curtain and left.

Soaking in the bathtub, Chu Yan felt comfortable all over. A faint medicinal fragrance came from the tip of her nose. She sighed: "It is indeed a residence of a high official. Even the bath water is soaked in medicinal materials."

Today, too many things happened to Chu Xiang, which overturned Chu Xiang's understanding of the things of the gods. The words of the gods have been echoing in his mind, and he can't get rid of them!

"You have no spiritual roots and cannot practice..."

"Without spiritual roots, you cannot practice..."

"Unable to practice..."

"Are you really unable to practice..." Chu Yan let out a long breath, but there was a sense of reluctance in his heart.

As if he was too tired, Chu Yan actually fell asleep in the bathtub until the maid came to wake him up.

The main hall of Cheng Mansion.

The jade plate on the dining table is filled with all kinds of delicacies. Each dish is delicious, delicious, and mouth-watering.

Chu Yan sat on his seat, looking at the delicious food he had never seen before, saliva secreting from his mouth. He was so hungry that he couldn't bear it. He ate a steamed bun this morning and didn't eat anything until the evening.

However, Cheng Yuanxiong and his wife did not move, and Chu Yan could only sit aside obediently, trying to act polite.

After a while, a girl wearing silk brocade and a ponytail strode out of the door. The maid behind her was covered in sweat and she tried her best to catch up. Moreover, the maid was carrying a lot of items in her hands, as if she had just returned from shopping.

.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." The girl's skin was white and her face was pretty. When she spoke, her eyes were looking at Chu Xiang.

"Who is he?" The girl was a little curious, but she just glanced at Chu Xiang and then looked away.

"Concubine, please don't be rude. He is your Uncle Chu's son Chu Xiang, and he is not called Brother Chu!" Cheng Yuanxiong's old face was solemn, and he glared at the girl pretending to be stern, but his eyes were full of doting.

"Oh, I don't know you!" the girl said calmly, turned around and left.

"Come back here, it's getting more and more outrageous. Look..." Cheng Yuanxiong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he could only watch the girl leave with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Master, just let her go. I guess she has already eaten outside." The lady beside Cheng Yuanxiong also watched the girl leave lovingly.

Cheng Yuanxiong shook his head slightly and said to Chu Xiang apologetically: "Nang'er, my little girl is ignorant and makes you laugh."

"Uncle's words are serious." Chu Yan didn't think it mattered.

"Then let's eat." Cheng Yuanxiong said kindly to Chu Xiang: "Nang'er, you came from afar, you're welcome, eat more!"

After Cheng Yuanxiong and his family started to take action, Chu Xiang couldn't bear it any longer. His stomach had already been growling non-stop. Even if Cheng Yuanxiong asked, he would just nod or shake his head and focus on eating, treating the scholar as he should.

All the politeness was thrown to the sky.

There was no change in the face of the servant of the Cheng Mansion, but the contempt in his eyes could not be concealed. He felt that even though Chu Xiang had read some books, he was still a vulgar person from the countryside.

After Cheng Yuanxiong saw that Chu Xiang had almost eaten, he asked: "By the way, Xiang'er, is your father okay?"

"My dad's health has gotten worse and worse in recent years. If it weren't for taking the exam, I would have..." Chu Xiang's nose became sour when she heard Cheng Yuanxiong mention his dad, and she immediately began to worry!

When Cheng Yuanxiong heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he comforted Chu Xiang calmly and said, "Nang'er, don't worry, your father looks younger than me even now, he will be fine."

"Uncle, you are joking. My father looks much older than you!" Chu Xiang sighed, feeling helpless.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuanxiong's eyes flashed and his eyebrows furrowed.

"Uncle, please tell me about my father's deeds when he was young!" Chu Xiang asked Chu Zhengnan these questions before, but Chu Zhengnan always avoided them.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, your father and I met in the capital city of Shu. We hit it off as old friends at the first sight, and we wandered together in this capital of Shu with endless heroes. It was so high-spirited, and your father was even more amazing...
