Chapter 45 What if they are all relatives

"A Fei, our Chen family has never been an official for more than a hundred years. You are now promising!"

"A Fei, when you were born, your second aunt and I hugged you!"

"A Fei, you have really suffered in the past few years!"

"A Fei, your parents left early. We didn't find you at that time. I didn't expect you to come here!"

"A Fei, are you married? Do you have children? Do you want my second aunt to introduce you to me?"

...

Chen Fei listened to the noise of these relatives a little numbly, but he was already impatient.

I don’t know what Jia Xu thought, why did he stuff these relatives who were not close to Yingchuan?

Let’s briefly sort out this family, the highest-ranking one is the second uncle Chen Hao, who is already 65 years old, and in addition to this, the fifth uncle Chen Hai.

There are eight uncles and uncles in the next generation, including Chen Hao's eldest son Chen Song. Chen Song, 44, is in his prime. He is responsible for most of the family affairs. The youngest uncle Chen Huai, is only five years older than Chen Fei.

There are fourteen cousins ​​of the same generation as Chen Fei. The oldest is Chen Song's eldest son Chen Jian. He is five years older than Chen Fei, and he has married and had children. Chen Sheng, the youngest, has just passed 100 days.

The Chen family, which has four generations living together, has twenty-five men. If they add their respective wives and daughters, it is indeed a very complicated family.

With Chen Fei's IQ, even if he has his original memory, he cannot match these nearly 60 people one by one in a short period of time...

Fortunately, with his current identity and status, he does not need to deal with these family-related relationships.

After all, he was still a relative, so Chen Fei could not ignore it. He raised his glass and toasted the elders in the room:

"I am very happy that two uncles, uncles, uncles, and brothers, you can arrive in Yangdi safely. I will hold a banquet here tonight to celebrate the reunion of the Chen family.

I have a manor in the north of the city, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land around it. You will live there for the time being. I will send people to send you all the food, clothing and expenses. If anyone wants to live in the city, I will make arrangements in advance. Are you satisfied with your elders?"

Chen Hao held the wine glass and nodded repeatedly:

"You think very thoroughly. But... since I am a family, I have something to say, so I won't hide it."

Chen Fei raised his neck and drank it all in one go:

"Second uncle, tell me."

Chen Hao took a sip, then carefully considered the words and said slowly:

"I and your fifth uncle are old, and I just want to spend your old age safely. But... your uncles and uncles are still young and strong. You are now in charge of two major counties. If you have free positions, you might as well consider it."

The fifth uncle Chen Hai also echoed:

"Second brother is right. You have no foundation in Yingchuan. Using a few of your own relatives is more reliable than those outsiders, right?"

Chen Fei looked at them and looked like he was seriously considering it:

"The two uncles really talk about my heart. What I am most upset now is the problem of insufficient officials. Let's do this. After you get a little accustomed to Yingchuan's customs and culture, older uncles and brothers may as well learn military and political affairs from me and be a helper for me in the future. As for younger brothers and nephews, you can first enter the college to learn about literature and write, and you can directly accept government affairs in a few years. How about it?"

Chen Hao and Chen Hai were all relieved, and uncles such as Chen Song, Chen Jie, Chen Bai and others were even more smiling and raised their glasses to drink. Instead, the younger generation was somewhat anxious.

Chen Fei put down his wine glass and sighed in his heart.

No one is concerned about the poor in the downtown area, and rich in the mountains have distant relatives. In his memory, since he lived in separate families, his family seems to have not seen these relatives in five or six years.

Just when he was feeling the warmth and coldness of human feelings, Chen Hao said again:

"A Fei, you should be born in the Xiping period (173-176), right?"

Chen Fei was a little surprised. After all, the other party was just the second uncle. It was amazing to be able to remember his birth year:

"Yes, the fourth year of Xiping."

Chen Hao pinched his fingers for a few seconds before nodding:

"That is, Atang, who is the same age as the third-bedroom house, and he is already nineteen (Xiaoshou)."

Chen Fei nodded:

"Yes."

Chen Hao grabbed a piece of elbow and chewed it comfortably:

"Although a man is twenty years old, you have an extraordinary status and are now a general who is a marquis. I want to hold a crown ceremony for you a year in advance and then consider a word for you. From then on, you will be officially an adult. What do you think?"

Chen Fei didn't think about it and refused directly with a smile:

"It's just that I paid homage to Mr. Jia Wenhewei, the Guanglu doctor in the court. As early as last year, he had already given me the name of a crown. I could only appreciate the kindness of my uncle."

Chen Hao was a little disappointed, but he still cheered up and said with a smile:

"It's okay, it's okay, I just don't know what words did Mr. Jia give you? We can also follow the names in the future and always call you 'A Fei'. I'm afraid it's really rude."

Chen Fei's cheek muscles froze slightly, and his brain quickly started running at high speed:

"Mr. gave the name...Yunlong."

Chen Hao sighed:

"Yunlong? Yunchenglong, Fengchenghu, and the meaning of flying dragons in the sky is a good meaning! After all, he is a senior official of the court, and his culture is higher than mine!"

Chen Fei asked casually:

"What words did the second uncle prepare for me?"

Chen Hao shook his head:

"You are your father's eldest son. As usual, you should have Bo. Fei means rising, so what I have prepared for you is... Bo Qi."

"Bon Qi Chen?"

Chen Fei's face suddenly turned dark.

[Fortunately, I was quick-responsive and took the lead in getting a cloud dragon for myself!]

[Otherwise, I will be called "Boqi" in my life!]

Chen Hao was not aware of it at all, and shook his head on his own:

"Do you know Yang Zhen, the most famous scholar in Guanzhong at that time, was the famous Hongnong scholar? He was hailed as "Yang Boqi, Confucius in Guanzhong" at that time! Those who can call this word are not ordinary people!"

-

"Fengxiao, why didn't you reject Mr. Wenhe's proposal when you were in Chang'an?!"

After thinking for two days, Chen Fei, who was still clueless, vented his anger on his subordinates.

Guo Jia, who suffered an unrestrained disaster, did not lose his loyalty because of this, but continued to simmer the mutton indifferently:

"I don't know how delicious the mutton in Liangzhou is. Jia Wenhe made Wuwei's mutton unique in the sky and the earth!"

Chen Fei, who was directly ignored, was immediately even more angry:

"Guo, Feng, Xiao!"

Guo Jia immediately straightened his back:

"Here! Guo is willing to share the worries of the general!"

Chen Fei's eyes were staring like a bronze bell:

"How to share the worries?"

Guo Jia answered quickly while holding the mutton:

"This matter is not difficult. The general only needs to sit upright in the lobby, and Changwen and I will examine the knowledge and talents of the Chen family for the general, and then..."

He ate the mutton with big mouthfuls, his eyes narrowed, and smiled like a fox:
Chapter completed!
