On the cloud gallery of the restaurant.
The young man in black leans on the railing and looks into the distance.
He stood at the top and watched quietly the bustle on the street below.
For a while he looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking about something seriously, as if there was something in the sky that could make him obsessed.
After a while, he was holding on to the railing again, leaning on it, watching the commotion among the crowd in the distance.
"The hexagrams cannot be calculated completely, and I am afraid of the impermanence of the way of heaven."
"The way of heaven, the way of heaven." The young man in black murmured to himself.
"If fate is so unpredictable, why should I feel sorry for myself?" The young man laughed at himself and put the three copper coins in his hand into his pocket.
Anping Restaurant is the tallest building in Anpingfang. Standing on the cloud corridor, the young man had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Anpingfang.
From the direction of the city gate, there was a man in his thirties, wearing a military uniform, rushing towards the Anping Restaurant. A few feet behind him was a very young boy, who followed him, trotting all the way. Sweating profusely and panting.
From time to time he stopped, pinched his waist, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
When his chest no longer felt so uncomfortable, he gritted his teeth and chased after her.
Approaching Anping Restaurant, the big man slowed down, turned his head and glanced at the servant following him, and said majestically:
"Xiao Tao, your physique needs a lot of exercise. Just a few steps away and you are so exhausted that you are sweating profusely. As a scholar from Tian'er, you don't have a good body. How can you help the master?"
When Xiao Tao heard this, he was shocked. He lowered his head and let the sweat on his forehead flow into his eye sockets. It was burning, but he did not dare to reach out and wipe it away.
Xiao Tao bowed and said respectfully: "The third master's lesson is correct. I will exercise in the past few days. I will definitely not let the young master and the third master down."
"Third uncle, I am very satisfied with Xiao Tao. He is smart and hard-working. Please don't worry about things around Tian'er."
A young man walked out from the door of the restaurant. He was the young man in black on the corridor of the restaurant.
When he was in the restaurant, he saw his third uncle and the book boy not far away, so he got up and came down to greet them.
When the big man saw the young man walking towards him, he walked forward with a smile on his face, squeezed the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Tian'er, why haven't you returned home recently? Are you dissatisfied with the old man's arrangements?"
The big man looked into the eyes of the young man in black with concern and affection.
The young man in black is named Chen Tianwen.
The Chen family is the first family in the Dunlin Dynasty, with unfathomable heritage. It has been one of the most prestigious families in the world for hundreds of years.
As for the Chen family's power and voice in the court, even the Prince's Palace of the West and the Prince of Beixiang cannot match it.
There are three heterosexual kings in Dunlin, Li Qing, the king of the West, Lu Jiuyuan, the king of Beixiang, and the other one is Chen Nanzhao, the current king of Xianlin, although the former two are feudal officials, holding military power, commanding one side, and even more fiefdoms. There is a county.
However, the Chen family was originally the first family in Dunlin, with a deep foundation. Chen Nanzhao was awarded the title of king as a military advisor, and he was still the king of Xianlin.
You must know that the capital is in Xianlin County. Although this prince has no fiefdom and cannot be hereditary, for the Chen family, this is already a supreme honor.
After eight hundred years of strife in the world, no one has yet been granted the title of king as a counselor.
Chen Nanzhao is the first person.
This shows the emperor's trust in Chen Nanzhao and his trust in the Chen family.
The head of the Chen family is Chen Tianwen's grandfather, his second uncle is Chen Nanzhao, and standing in front of him is his third uncle Chen Xuan.
It's just that the bloodline of this generation of Chen family is relatively thin and weird.
The eldest son of the Chen family has given birth to two sons. The second son, Chen Nanzhao, has never been married. The third son of the Chen family, Chen Xuan, is still childless, as if he has been cursed!
Chen Tianwen listened to the third uncle's words, waved his hands, and said: "Tian'er doesn't mean to blame grandpa. I also know that I am not suitable. The eldest brother is more suitable to stay with the second uncle than me, and he is the eldest son."
Chen Tianwen smiled and continued: "In terms of both emotion and reason, eldest brother is more suitable than me to stay in the capital and follow the path arranged by the family."
"Then why haven't you returned home for so many days?" Chen Xuan was very pleased to hear that his nephew thought so.
Perhaps because he had no children, he had already regarded his eldest brother's two sons as his own.
Naturally, I hope that the relationship between my two nephews will not be hurt by these things.
"If a man is born in this world and doesn't want to become a general or a marquis, what's the difference between him and the cicadas who don't know the cold in late autumn." Chen Tianwen, who had always been calm and unfazed, when he spoke about his ambition, his eyes became bright and his whole person looked dazzling.
He laughed and continued: "Although Tian'er has admired his second uncle since he was a child and wanted to be like him, there are thousands of avenues, far more than just that one."
At this moment, Chen Tianwen exuded the confidence of a top-notch young man.
"It's boring in the house. Tian'er just wants to go out and relax. Third uncle doesn't have to worry. He also tells grandpa not to worry."
Second Uncle’s path is difficult for others!
But for the Chen family, it is the easiest way.
Over the past eight hundred years, countless ancestors have become national scholars.
"Tian'er has been very smart since he was a child. Third uncle has noticed it since you were young." Chen Xuan smiled happily, seeing that his favorite nephew was as high-spirited as before.
He is very happy.
"Uncle Third, why do I feel like this is a curse!" Chen Tianwen joked with a smile.
"Is this a curse word?" Chen Xuan asked doubtfully.
He smiled awkwardly: "You also know that the third uncle is a military general and can't speak!"
"My family is full of civil servants, but Third Uncle, you have followed the path of a military general. Didn't grandpa beat you with a stick back then?"
Chen Xuan said with a bitter look on his face: "Your father and your second uncle are both the proud sons of heaven in terms of studying and learning. That is, Wen Quxing came to earth and is extremely talented. But I really have no interest in reading and I have no talent. Your grandpa saw that I was not up to par, so when he saw me, he would either hit or scold me."
"The more I was beaten, the less good I became, and I became more and more tired of studying. So I sneaked out of the school every day and caused trouble outside. Later, I took the path of a military commander by chance."
When facing his nephew, Chen Xuan didn't have the airs of an elder. He could tell Chen Tianwen calmly about any sneaky things.
"By the way, Tian'er, I haven't asked you yet, why did you ask Third Uncle to come over?"
He also asked the book boy and the guards patrolling the city not to go near Anpingfang.
Chen Tianwen reached out and pointed forward, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, didn't you see anything wrong with the other party over there?"
As soon as Chen Xuan arrived, he had been worried about Chen Tianwen's mood, and he carefully observed his surroundings as he spoke.
He looked in the direction Chen Tianwen pointed, but he was startled.
Good guy, the front is full of water and the noise is loud. In the crowd, there are three floors inside and three floors outside, and a few shouts are heard from time to time!
