Chapter 299

"Huh? Who do you say you want to see?"

Shen Yanhong was delighted to hear that, where did the treasure come from, and he wanted to see his grandfather.

One must know that his grandfather has a lot of things to do every day, so anyone can meet him casually, even he rarely sees him once in normal times.

"I'm Chen Gu, please see Master Shen."

Gu Chen frowned, thinking that the young man didn't hear clearly.

"Where did you come from? You don't come from Luoyang at first glance, right? Tell you, my grandfather is very busy, how could he see you?"

Shen Yanhong originally disliked this man's sneakiness, but when he saw that he looked out of the ordinary and he was an outsider, he felt sympathetic and patiently explained.

"Shen Xudong's grandson..."

Gu Chen murmured in his heart, this person is younger than himself at first glance, so isn't he his cousin?

You must know that the three generations of the Gu family are single, Gu Chen has never had brothers and sisters, and now there is a cousin who is related by blood, it still feels a little different.

This kid has a thick head and a thick head, and he is not annoying to look at, so Gu Chen said patiently. "Please help me to inform, just say that Chen Gu asked to see Master Shen, I believe he will definitely meet me."

Seeing Gu Chen's determined expression, Shen Yanhong was shaken. Does this person really have any background?

"Then you wait here, I'll go ask."

After he muttered a few words, he passed the guard at the door and walked quickly into the mansion.

"Chen Gu Chen Gu, why does this name sound so familiar?"

He turned his head sideways as he walked, thinking hard about where he had heard this name before.

Gu Chen stood outside Shen's residence and waited patiently, wondering if he could see his mother directly later.

His name has now spread all over Kyushu. With his mother's intelligence and understanding of himself, he may have already guessed who he is.

Not long after, a large group of people came out of Shen's residence, but the leader was not Shen Xudong, and Gu Chen didn't see his mother, only Shen Yanhong from before followed the group of people in a daze.

"But Mr. Chen Guchen from the Heavenly Court?"

The leader was a middle-aged man whose face looked somewhat similar to Shen Xudong's. Seeing Gu Chen, he asked solemnly.

Gu Chen nodded. "It's right down."

"It's a long way to welcome you, please come in."

The middle-aged man exchanged glances with others, and quickly invited Gu Chen into the mansion.

"My father is currently in the palace and will come back at night, so I can't receive Young Master Chen in person. I hope you will forgive me."

The middle-aged man quickly reported his name. He turned out to be Shen Xudong's eldest son Shen Pengyuan, also Gu Chen's uncle!

The elders of the Shen family already knew that the Shen family was in charge of receiving Chen Gu who was attending the Zhuzi Banquet, and upholding the rules of a family of etiquette, they dared not neglect in the slightest.

"Senior Shen, you are being polite. This junior is already very sorry to bother you at Shen's house for a few days. How dare you ask Master Shen to receive you in person?"

Gu Chen appeared to be gentle, modest, and polite, which surprised all the elders of the Shen family.

There are too many rumors about this son these days. Apart from his almost monstrous talent, he gives people the impression of being arrogant and unruly. Coupled with the fact that he is a killer in heaven, he gives people the impression of being even more cold-blooded and barbaric. up.

Unexpectedly, the real person turned out to be so gentle and polite.

For a moment, the elders of the Shen family had a little more affection for Gu Chen.

Shen Pengyuan greeted Gu Chen for tea, and chatted with him for a while with several senior members of the Shen family.

Because they are all children of Confucianism, it is inevitable that they speak in a polite way, and they prefer to talk about some classics of poetry and books.

After all, Gu Chen stayed in the book collection building of Zhenwu Academy for a long time, and he read countless books. In addition, he has the ability of photographic memory, and he speaks clearly when he speaks, appearing to be knowledgeable.

This is very rare among young people of his age. Considering that the other party was originally a killer and devoted himself to cultivating, several people in the Shen residence were even more impressed.

"It's better to see him than to hear about it for a long time. Mr. Chen is really outstanding, he is a good material in the rough."

Shen Pengyuan couldn't help but sighed, and then glanced at Shen Yanhong who was standing in the corner.

"It would be great if my son was half as good as Mr. Chen. This kid can't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. It's an insult to my Shen family."

Gu Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard that, the most famous Confucian school, three generations of children can't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, it's really quite embarrassing.

His cheap uncle is also straightforward, and he will talk about it all.

"Father, I want to cultivate, not Confucianism!"

Shen Yanhong immediately said unconvinced.

"What nonsense! My Shen family has been famous for Confucianism for generations. What's wrong with being a Confucian scholar?"

Shen Pengyuan scolded.

"Confucian children have no power to restrain a chicken, how will I protect my Shen family in the future?"

Shen Yanhong immediately said, Gu Chen was surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect him to think so far at such a young age.

Children aged thirteen or fourteen were all worried about the safety of the Shen family. Gu Chen couldn't help thinking about it. It seemed that after the prosperity of the Shen family, there was also a hidden crisis.

"Who said that the children of Confucianism are powerless? If you reach the state of great Confucianism, you will be able to surpass most monks with a righteous spirit."

Shen Pengyuan retorted that he regretted mentioning this kid in front of outsiders. This kid has always spoken indifferently.

"Father, you also said that only great Confucians can do it. How many great Confucians can there be in the entire Kyushu? My Shen family needs other protection!"

Shen Yanhong immediately said again.

"My Shen family has worked for the well-being of the people of Jiuzhou for generations. As long as the people of Jiuzhou are here, no one can touch my Shen family."

Shen Pengyuan argued.

"That idea is wrong, Auntie said..."

Shen Yanhong immediately wanted to refute, but Shen Pengyuan didn't want to argue with him anymore.

"Okay, shut up! You will be fined to write four books silently, and you will not be allowed to eat until you finish writing today!"

Shen Yanhong was full of dissatisfaction, but knowing that there were guests, he didn't dare to argue anymore, and left in frustration.

However, Gu Chen caught the key point in his words, and there was a ripple in his heart.

That aunt, could it be the mother?

Gu Chen and Shen Pengyuan chatted for a while, and then ended the conversation with them on the pretext that they needed to rest from the exhaustion of the journey.

Gu Chen was arranged to live in a secluded courtyard, and as soon as he moved in, he thought about where to find his mother.

He used his spiritual sense to spy out, there are many places in Shen's residence protected by magic circles, and mother may live in any one of them, it would be a waste of time to look for them one by one.

While Gu Chen was thinking, someone knocked on his door.

"Just in time!"

Gu Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the door. A young man with a thick head and a thick head approached him with a shy smile.

"Shouldn't you be punishing me for copying four books? Why did you come here?"

Gu Chen looked indifferent, and asked casually.

Shen Yanhong entered the room familiarly, and looked at Gu Chen fawningly.

"Brother Chen, I almost blocked you from the door because I didn't know Mount Tai. Please forgive me."

"You're welcome, tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Gu Chen said jokingly.
