Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth Chen family two elders
The Chen family's house is somewhat similar to the Siheyuan in Kyoto, but also different. The Siheyuan in Kyoto is the north of the south, the main house is the east-west wing room, the south is the collapsed house, and the four sides are surrounded to form the main layout.
The Chen family's house is relatively simple. Although it is also in the south and north, there is no house collapsed on the south side, but it is just a wall. There is at most a gatehouse at the entrance. When you enter the gate, there is a large courtyard inside. There is only a row of main houses in the north, a row of west wings on the west, and a garden vegetable field on the east side. This is also the layout of the former large houses in Liaodong Province.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the mansion. Wang Xu looked up at the mansion in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. It's rare to see such a mansion these days, especially in other provinces, where many courtyards in Kyoto are preserved in full, but there are not many old mansions in other provinces that can be preserved in such a complete manner.
This does not mean that this kind of house is not strong. In fact, this kind of house is not long until now, and some are only a hundred years old. When it was built, it was made of good wood, but many houses were destroyed and divided in the ** era.
Chen Yuxin saw Wang Xu in a daze and asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you surprised? Our house is also considered a cultural relic in Liaodong Province."
"I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that I could see such a complete mansion in Liaodong Province." Wang Xu nodded with a smile.
"Haha, you don't understand this. Our family has practiced medicine for generations. Although my grandfather and I are both indifferent to fame and fortune and do not like to show off, in our generation, the miracle doctors are indeed well-known to everyone. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, almost every household has found our family to treat our patients and received the favors of our family. Therefore, during the ** years, our house was also protected by nearby villagers. After the **, zhèng fu was returned to our family." Chen Yuxin explained with a smile, with a look of pride on her face.
Listening to Chen Yuxin's explanation, Wang Xu nodded with a smile. He was deeply touched by this point. What's wrong with their family? Traditional Chinese medicine was criticized as a demon and a god. He was very arrogant to landlords and cultural people. However, his grandfather Wang Henian did not suffer any disaster. Even some rebels respected the elderly very much.
"Okay, go in. My grandfather should play chess in the yard at this time." Chen Yuxin smiled and urged. As he spoke, he first walked towards the yard, and Wang Xu followed closely behind.
Standing outside the yard, I couldn't feel the size of the house. After entering, Wang Xu realized how big the house was. The whole yard was as big as several football fields. There were various strange flowers and plants planted in a garden to the east.
It was the hot summer, and flowers bloomed. When you entered the yard, a fresh fragrance of flowers penetrated into your nostrils, making people feel relaxed and happy.
There was another pavilion in the garden. At this time, two old men in the pavilion were playing chess inside. Chen Yuxin took Wang Xu and walked over directly.
When one of the old men heard someone coming in, he looked up and saw that it was Chen Yuxin. He smiled and said, "Xiaoxin, why are you back today?"
As he spoke, the old man saw Wang Xu who was with Chen Yuxin at the same time, and a knowing smile appeared on his face and said, "Oh, our Xiaoxin is bringing back a distinguished guest today, welcome."
As he spoke, the old man stood up and looked at Wang Xu with a smile, which was very similar to the mother-in-law's attention. When the other old man heard this, he also saw Wang Xu and Chen Yuxin walking in, and laughed, "Xiao Xin brought her boyfriend back. This is really a matter of rushing to come out."
Both old men looked in their sixties and nearly seventy years old. Chen Yuxin's face was flushed when she said something and said something. He hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, third grandpa, don't talk nonsense. This is Dr. Wang Xu. I met on the mountain yesterday. He heard that you two also know medical skills, so he wants to come and visit."
"Wang Xu!" Hearing Chen Yuxin's introduction, the old man who was the first to speak was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "It turns out that it is the old friend, the rare guest, the rare guest."
As the old man spoke, a light flashed in his eyes at the same time. He stared at Wang Xu tightly, his face very unkind.
Another old man also laughed and said, "Boy Wang, everyone says that you are kind-hearted and upright, and you don't expect to play this kind of trick, but it disappoints us two old guys."
Listening to the words of the two grandfathers, Chen Yuxin was a little confused. She didn't know what they meant, but Wang Xu understood.
Obviously, these two people misunderstood him and thought that he had ulterior motives to contact Chen Yuxin, so he said this.
Chen Yuxin's grandfather glanced sharply, but Wang Xu was calm in his heart and looked at him without any concession, and smiled: "The two grandfathers misunderstood. Miss Chen and I met yesterday by chance. Because we saw that she was a very powerful way to correct people, we asked a few questions and knew that they were the granddaughters of the two grandfathers and had no other meaning."
Seeing Wang Xu's eyes calm and clear conscience, and when he heard Wang Xu's explanation, Chen Yuxin's grandfather's gaze eased a lot, and he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's sit down. Your grandfather and I met you back then. It's a fate that you can come to our Chen family this time."
"You two grandpas are polite. I am just a junior in terms of seniority. I used to hear my grandpa say that the Chen family is very good at medical skills and is indifferent to fame and fortune. I came here to visit me yesterday."
Wang Xu politely held on to the younger generation's strength, and at the same time took out the gift he prepared and said, "This is my little wish. I hope both grandpas don't refuse."
"It's right when people come. Why are you still bringing gifts? You're welcome?" Chen Yuxin's grandfather smiled and did not refuse. He invited Wang Xu to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion. Then he said to Chen Yuxin: "Xiaoxin, go and make a cup of tea for Xiao Wang and take out the best Lion Peak Dragon Well I have collected."
"Oh!" Chen Yuxin nodded in confusion, not understanding why the two grandpas looked at Wang Xu coldly, but at this time they were so polite. However, seeing that both sides looked quite friendly at this time, they walked out to make tea.
After Chen Yuxin left, Chen Yuxin's grandfather and third master also sat down and said, "Let me introduce myself first. Chen Yiguo, this is my third brother, Yiren Chen. Since you are from the Wang family, we don't have so many politeness. I wonder what happened to you when you are here this time?"
"The two grandpas are joking. I really have no other intentions when I come here today. I just come to visit the two. As for the previous grudges between our two families, after so many years, I don't want to say more. The two grandpas are also masters in the Xinglin world. Although their reputation is not obvious, I still understand the Chen family's medical skills. I came here just with admiration." Wang Xu said frankly.
"Haha, not bad, not bad." Chen Yuxin's grandfather Chen Yiguo laughed when he heard Wang Xu's words and said in praise: "No wonder your Wang family can suppress our Chen family for many years. I admire your grandfather's demeanor back then. I didn't expect you to be inferior to your grandfather. Your Wang family has indeed emerged in many talented people."
"The two grandpas are accused of it." Wang Xuqian said with a smile: "The way of medical skills is not to compete for the strengths of a day, nor is there any difference between high and low. Both grandpas are both great masters of medical science, and the Chen family is also the only remaining Chinese medicine families today. They are indispensable wealth for the traditional Chinese medicine community."
"A good way of medical skills is not to compete for the strengths of a day." Chen Yuxin's third brother, Doctor Chen, laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you can see through the various aspects of life at your age. I finally know where our Chen family has lost for generations. Our Chen family's vision has always been on your Wang family, but your Wang family's eyes are on the entire Xinglin world. The vision is different, and the beginning is much worse."
Listening to the words of Dr. Chen, Wang Xujing sat next to him without interrupting. Although these two old men were kind, this kind of competition has been going on for so many years, and who knows what their true thoughts are.
"So are you planning to cancel the bet between our two families this time?" Seeing that Wang Xu was silent, Chen Yiguo stared at Wang Xu and asked faintly.
"Grandpa Chen is joking. I have promised Brother Chen Song that I will not go back on my word in a year. I will come here this time not to cancel the bet, but to visit the two grandpas." Wang Xu smiled politely.
"Chen Song!" Chen Yiguo frowned when he heard this and asked in a deep voice: "Have Chen Song found you?"
"Yes, more than a month ago, this incident is now known to everyone. Don't you know the two grandpas?" Wang Xu asked strangely.
"Haha, I'm going to tell you, we old guys have long stopped talking about the world. They just play chess and read books all day long. They don't care about the hustle and bustle outside, so they naturally don't know what's happening outside." Dr. Chen smiled.
"So that's it." Wang Xu nodded and said, "Since the grandpas are not ***** like this, I won't mention such an annoying thing, so as not to taint the ears of the two grandpas. Why should I accompany the two grandpas to two games?"
"Haha, okay, your grandfather and I played back then, and each has their own victory or defeat. Let me see how your chess skills are?" Chen Yiguo nodded with a smile.
As he spoke, Wang Xu and Chen Yiguo sat next to the stone table respectively. Looking at the endgame placed on the stone table, Chen Yiguo smiled faintly and asked Wang Xu: "Will we start over or continue this game?"
"Let's go ahead, I see that the two grandpas have the same chess skills. Now there is no winner in this game, so there is no need to start over." Wang Xu said with a smile, and as he spoke, his eyes swept on the chessboard: "It seems that it's my turn, so I'll take a step first and Grandpa Chen gives some advice."
As he spoke, Wang Xu took out a black piece from the box next to him and gently placed it on the chessboard...
Looking at the dark spot that Wang Xu put down, Chen Yiguo and Chen Yiren, who were originally smiling, suddenly changed their faces, their eyes wide open, and they looked at Wang Xu in a daze...
