How Many Cool Autumns in Life? Chapter 261: Small Bridge and Flowing Water House
In the winter at Jiang Night Market, the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and the small bridge and flowing water add a white snow scenery.
Chi Enen has been in seclusion since she returned from the north, but she has been out of seclusion in recent days.
The old house of the Chi family is honest and majestic. There is no heating in the house, but it is very warm.
Today is the Chi family's annual meeting.
At the annual meeting, almost all members of the Chi family will come, whether direct or collateral.
Of course, many important things cannot be discussed on the first day. This day is mainly for eating and communicating.
The Chi family has been developing for hundreds of years and has gone through a lot. Even if the family population has not grown explosively, it is still present in every industry.
Most of the descendants of the Chi family are outstanding, especially the direct descendants. They have to stay in the Chi family for several years since they were young and receive family education.
They are distributed in various industries, and some of them have even reached important positions. Their travels will definitely attract the attention of all parties, but in the Chi family, they may only sit in the corner.
In the lobby built by the Chi family three hundred years ago, there were a lot of people, and everyone was sitting in their own seats.
Among them, there is the most beautiful figure, alone and silent.
Chi Enen looked at the huge lobby. Both the doors, windows and banquet tables were made of very expensive solid wood, exuding a faint fragrance.
Above the lobby, there is a plaque, which was given by the emperor of a certain dynasty that year - upright.
The Chi family was a merchant hundreds of years ago. After three hundred years of accumulation, their wealth has reached a terrifying level.
Chi Enen looked out at the vast snowy sky. She used to wear pink, but since she went to the north, she fell in love with the white snow.
Maybe it was because of her growth, maybe because she had seen through it, or maybe because she met someone. In short, after returning from the north, she no longer wore pink clothes.
She is still calm, but she is more steady than before. This cannot be detected from her words, but can only be seen from her eyes.
She was sitting at a table near the door, surrounded by women from the Chi family, and the men were at the back.
This has been the rule of the Chi family for hundreds of years. Even though this era has been promoting equality between men and women for twenty or thirty years, compared with the history of the Chi family, it seems a bit shabby.
Chi Enen thought to himself that as long as he is a boy in the Chi family, he is the winner in life.
Although she is excellent and even though she is loved by all, once this time comes, she has no advantage.
Over the years, she has kept a low profile and gradually faded out of the eyes of the people in the Presbytery.
But she is still dazzling, and can be said to be the most dazzling existence among the younger generation of girls in the Chi family.
And with her current cultivation level, there will be no problem even if she moves into the Presbytery in the future.
Chi Yichen was drinking and drinking in front of each other. The banquet had just begun, but his face was already red from drinking.
She shook her head and looked at the main table again.
There were seats for the elders of the Chi family, and even her father, Chi Xunjun, could not sit there.
But today, a young man appeared.
A young man who is very mysterious in the Chi family, a young man who has entered the realm of Taoism - Chi Yi.
He was so talented and beautiful that even Chi Enen had to admire him. This man was really terrifying.
On the first day when his spiritual energy returned, he began to retreat.
On the seventh day after the spiritual energy returned, he entered the realm of cultivation, faster than some elders.
He is the most terrifying genius in the history of the Chi family. In an era when there was no aura, he was gifted at birth.
At the age of three, he was able to sense the spiritual energy in his body.
By the time he was ten years old, he was already a strong man in the third level of enlightenment. This incident alarmed the Yunxing clan behind the Chi family.
The Yunxing Clan even ordered people to come out to take Chi Yi back and train him in the mountains at any cost.
Many people in the Chi family knew about this matter, but they rarely knew the specific information about Chi Yi.
Now, this man is back.
Chi Yi became Chi Yi of the Chi family. In this era of spiritual energy returning, he will undoubtedly lead the Chi family into this new era.
"A year ago, you were defeated by Bai Lu from the Maintenance Department. I thought you would be decadent, but I didn't expect you to recover so quickly." Chi Wukang said with a smile. She was the previous head of the Chi family and Chi Enen's grandfather.
"Now that you have entered the realm of cultivation, and your body is at its best, you will be able to continue climbing in the future. As for Bai Lu, I heard that she has not yet broken through to the realm of cultivation."
"But why did you give up the sword? With your character, there is no need to worry about it."
The other eight old men at the table also looked at Chi Yi, their eyes showing kindness, and they were all patiently waiting for the answer.
"No need." Chi Yi said calmly, "I threw away the sword because I could never defeat her in the sword. What's more, I'm not good at swords to begin with."
"I'm in the Yunxing Clan, and I'm learning swordsmanship."
"The sword was formed later, but the knife is the most primitive weapon. The knife has only one purpose, which is to kill."
"I use the sword, but the seniors of the Yunxing Clan asked me to suppress my strength and wait until now to break through."
"That's it!" Everyone was filled with joy.
"Yichen, come here..." The only old woman in the Chi family waved to Chi Yichen.
Everyone cast envious glances.
Chi Yichen is the only one who can go to the main table.
"Why?" someone whispered, looking at a man.
The man's face was covered with stubble, but he was not slovenly. Instead, he had a mature and handsome look.
This is Chi Xunyang, Chi Wukang's second son and Chi Suisui's father.
Back then, he had both children, his son was smart and his daughter was even better, but now, everything is gone.
Although he married a wife and had children, all this was just to cope with the pressure from his family.
He is very tired. Over the years, he has been too tired to speak. His eyes are filled with vicissitudes of life, and everything around him seems to have nothing to do with him.
Chi Yichen respectfully walked to the main table. Even though he was a little drunk, he still restrained himself very well and greeted everyone one by one with thorough etiquette.
"Yi Chen, with the return of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you have reached the third level of consecration, but you still need to work hard. If you have any questions in the future, please ask your cousin Chi Yi." The old woman smiled.
Chi Yichen raised his hand towards Chi Yi: "Cousin, I will trouble you in the future."
Chi Yi nodded, not paying too much attention, but suddenly remembered something: "I remember that you have a sister named Chi Enen."
Chi Yichen was slightly startled, Chi Wukang nodded, and called Chi Enen over.
Chi Yichen curled his lips when he saw his sister. This girl had been stealing the limelight from him since she was a child, but she was his biological sister after all, so he didn't show anything.
Chi Yi looked at Chi Enen and said with a smile: "Among the younger generation of the Chi family, you are the only one who can catch my eye. You are so stunning and beautiful. I remember you were smart when you were a child."
At this moment, everyone in the lobby was watching this scene and was very quiet, so Chi Yi's words were naturally heard by everyone.
"Cousin, I'm grateful." Chi Enen said with a smile.
"Cousin, I don't like hearing what you are saying. Enen is excellent, but there are so many young people, how can it be that only one of them doesn't fall into your eyes, cousin?" Chi Yichen said quite dissatisfied.
Chi Yi ignored it.
Chi Wukang didn't want to embarrass his grandson, so he coughed and said, "You kid, you have offended your tribe just after you came back. It's really..."
Chi Yi smiled slightly and explained: "If sister Enen is a boy, I'm afraid I will be in danger."
"Cousin, how far away are you from the Taoist realm?"
"I only see the threshold." Chi Enen said modestly.
Chi Yi exclaimed: "I practiced in the Yunxing Clan and had strong mental skills, so I entered the Taoist realm. But you have reached this level outside. Your talent is even greater than that of Bai Lu."
There was silence all around.
"My cousin has reached the peak of Qi-nourishing realm, don't you all know?" Chi Yi shook his head and smiled, seemingly with a hint of ridicule.
In the lobby, you can already hear the drop of a needle.
Everyone looked at the girl in horror. In the past, she was quite talented, but later she gradually lost her fame and was only outstanding in beauty.
But no one knew that this girl would stand in front of everyone in an instant.
The beauty is tranquil, her white clothes are better than the snow!
"Your state of mind can be so strong, I really don't know what you have been through." Chi Yi sighed.
Chi Enen talked a little about what happened when he met Yao Fengqian in the north.
As a result, the lobby became quieter.
Chi Wukang and several elders were all horrified.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's such an important thing..."
Chi Enen said lightly: "Grandpa, I wrote a report to you a year ago. Maybe you didn't see it."
Chi Wukang touched his beard awkwardly. He vaguely felt that there was such a report, but seeing that it was his granddaughter, he thought it was nothing.
In addition, during this period of time, he had been busy with the research of psychic weapons, so he forgot about it.
