Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 52: Big face, slap

After all, human nature cannot escape the three words "watch the fun".

Although everyone at the village entrance was panic-stricken and confused, they really wanted to know whether the "Chen Xu" Cui Fu mentioned was the Chen Xu from the village.

Things in the world are bizarre and absurd, always beyond people's imagination.

So half a minute later, a strange scene appeared in Xiaowan Village.

A foreign carriage was moving slowly behind, and a butler dressed like a rich man and the elderly Mr. Fang were walking leisurely in front.

Eight strong and majestic guards with swords followed him.

A little further away were the villagers, idle men, children and old women, all following the periphery with strange expressions on their faces.

Because this group of people was so conspicuous, even the people who were working in the fields on the other side couldn't help but drop their farm work and follow them when they saw this scene.

Or ask, “What happened?”

Or they may be nervous and ask, "What's going on? Where is that person from?"

At first, the villagers were very nervous after seeing the guards draw their swords, but soon, as more and more people asked questions and followed them, the villagers gradually gained confidence.

Someone couldn't help but explain, "They're from Yunjiang Prefecture. They say it's the steward of the Cui family. They're here to pick up Chen Erlang from our village to take him to the prefecture to take the exam."

"Chen Erlang needs someone to pick him up for the exam? He could have picked him up, but why are there so many people here?"

"I don't know. Perhaps it's the display of a wealthy family. Otherwise, look, isn't it magnificent?"

"Hiss, it's really majestic..."

It's more than just majestic.

If the Chen Xu that Butler Cui mentioned is really the Chen Xu from Xiaowan Village, then Chen Xu's name will be spread throughout the surrounding area for at least ten years from today!
"Damn it! If someone were to come pick me up like this, I, I, I... I'd smash my head on my ancestors' graves."

"Tsk, you're dreaming like this, maybe your ancestors smashed their heads in the ground?"

……

The agitation was so great that it almost set the entire Xiaowan Village on fire.

The Chen family father and son were working in the fields. Seeing this, the villagers nearby couldn't help but drop their work and run to the village.

Chen An was also a little impatient and couldn't help but say, "Dad, something big seems to have happened over there. Shouldn't we go take a look?"

Father Chen Qianshan just hunched his back and said without raising his head: "If you don't plant rice in March, you will cry when you look at the fields in June. What are you going to see?
Can watching the excitement help you grow rice or pick fruit? What does the excitement of others have to do with us?

Chen An had to suppress his fluctuating emotions, but he couldn't help but say, "Father, someone from the Qiu family came to visit our family today. I don't know if my eldest brother's marriage can be successful, and whether we can get along with our future eldest sister-in-law."

Chen Ping was busy planting rice seedlings. When he heard Chen An mention his marriage, his wheat-colored skin couldn't help but turn slightly red.

But he didn't say anything, but just planted the rice seedlings faster.

His father and elder brother were both taciturn. Even though Chen An was in a state of anxiety, he could do nothing about it. He could only follow them step by step and speed up the rice planting process.

As more and more people walked by, the noisy noise seemed to fade away.

Chen An was almost coaxing himself into submission and had given up the thought of going out to watch the fun, when he suddenly heard a voice from the ridge over there: "Goudan'er! Anzi! Come quickly, something happened in your house!"

what?
The Chen family, father and son, all looked up.

A familiar young man was standing on the ridge ahead, waving anxiously. "Anzi, Brother Ping, Uncle, something's really happened! A group of nobles have come from the city, saying they want to take your second brother Chen to the provincial capital for an exam!"

Oh, pick up Chen Xu and go to the provincial capital for the exam.

What's that called an accident?
No, that's not right...

Pick up Chen Xu and go to the provincial capital for the exam!

The three members of the Chen family all showed a look of surprise on their faces. Chen An was the first to react and said in surprise: "Tietou, what did you say? The noble man wants to pick up my second brother? My second brother is not at home." Chen Qianshan threw down the seedlings in his hand and ran towards the road in the village over there.

Chen Ping followed closely behind. Chen An, who was the first to ask the question, was the slowest to move, but he also hurriedly caught up.

Although the father and his two sons were anxious, they were actually more confused.

They only felt that they could understand every word the young man on the ridge of the field said, but when they were put together, they could not understand any sentence.

But out of concern and worry for Chen Xu, they rushed out of the fields as quickly as possible.

Then he was led by Tietou and ran home in a daze.

Along the way, Chen An couldn't avoid asking various questions, but Tietou was obviously not much clearer-headed than them.

The only answer he could give was, "Someone said that Second Brother Chen is very capable, so they want to take him to the capital to take the exam!"

Then he said, “By the way, I passed by your house before and heard someone arguing in the yard.

It seems like there was an old lady saying that Second Brother Chen would definitely fail the exam, and told our aunt to stop thinking about supporting Second Brother’s education. The aunt was very angry…”

The father and his two sons became more and more anxious as they listened. They finally arrived at the door of their house, but it was surrounded by crowded villagers.

As a result, the father and his two sons arrived at the door of their own house, but they could not even enter.

They were shouting anxiously: "Make way, make way..."

Suddenly, a shocking cry was heard from inside.

"What did I say wrong? Some people are just destined to pass the exam. I just told you the truth and you're treating me like that...ah! Help!"

After shouting "Help" there was another series of:

"Sister-in-law, can you ask these heroes to spare me?
I'm a bad mouth and can't speak, I'm blind and can't see the real person, can't I punish myself? I punish myself, wuwuwu..."

"Snapped!"

Then there was a series of slapping sounds, as if the person was hitting himself in the face.

Finally, a familiar voice, cold, slow, yet decisive, was heard.

That was Chen's mother, Luo's voice: "I'm not your sister, nor am I your in-law. This marriage is not going through, you leave!"

Go away!

The voice seemed to have an echo, shaking the hearts of the Chen family's father and son.

The villagers who were blocking the gate of the courtyard finally made way for a path inside, only to see three people rushing out, supporting each other.

The three of them covered their faces with their hands, crying and not daring to see anyone.

The crowd who had been watching the excitement quietly finally burst into loud boos.

Some even clapped their hands and said, "Serves you right! How dare you ask a scholar from our village to marry into your village? You're so shameless! Now you're getting slapped for it, right?"

There were also children singing with laughter: "Big cheek, get slapped, slap ...

The three women covered their faces and ran away, not daring to say another word.

After running for only a dozen steps, he suddenly saw a carriage appear on the street behind the corner.

It was not the Cui family's luxurious carriage, but a simple carriage with a green cloth curtain.

There was a man standing next to the carriage.

He wore a blue shirt and cloth, had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was handsome.
