Chapter 55 55: Ask about Chen Guiyang
(It’s the author’s fault. I wrote it too late last night, too quickly, and got sidetracked. The protagonist didn’t leave without saying goodbye, so I revised it. Please let me know. The setting of this branch story is a long-term foreshadowing and can promote the development of the plot. )
With a beeping sound, the wooden door opened and Chen Jin walked out.
He didn't come here to test the Hu family and his daughter on purpose. It was meaningless and unnecessary.
It was purely because I had consumed a lot last night and needed to rest my mind, so I slept past the hour.
Seeing him come out, Mr. Hu stood in silence with his hands lowered, said hello, and then winked at his daughter.
The girl opened her bright eyes and looked Chen Jin up and down, then she saluted and called out: "Hello, teacher."
Chen Jin glanced at her and saw that her figure and temperament had undergone tremendous changes. Now she looked like an innocent girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pure and untainted beauty.
Immediately he said: "I didn't teach you anything, I'm not your teacher."
The girl blinked and saluted again: "Hello, sir."
Chen Jin was too lazy to care about the issue of title and asked directly: "Executive member, is there anything to eat?"
When he got up, he was so hungry that he could eat a cow.
Hu Yuanwai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please wait."
Go out quickly and order Hu Sange and others to hurry up.
After Chen Jin finished washing, plates of fine meals were prepared and brought directly into the small hall of the other courtyard.
Hu Yuanwai didn't know Chen Jin's taste preferences. Anyway, let the kitchen prepare all the good ingredients at home and arrange them.
Chen Jin was not polite and immediately feasted.
So a full plate goes in and an empty plate comes out, just like a horse lantern.
Hu Yuanwai was not surprised by this. In his mind, he had long regarded Chen Jin as an outsider, a kind of terrestrial god.
How tall is an expert?
How many gods are there?
It's just a small thing to eat more.
Hu Yuanwai once saw a strange man gnawing on a whole cow at the banquet.
In comparison, Chen Jin is undoubtedly much more elegant.
During this period, Mr. Hu and his daughter waited in the pavilion outside in a sensible manner and did not go in to accompany them to dinner or anything.
The red tape is obviously inappropriate, and if it is done too much, it will become resentful.
About half an hour later, Chen Jin finally filled his stomach and invited Hu Yuanwai to come in to drink tea and talk.
It's quite a bit anti-customer-oriented.
Hu Yuanwai didn't care about that. He brought his daughter here today, originally intending to let her become a disciple, but according to Chen Jin's tone, he was unwilling to formally accept him as a disciple.
Then there is nothing you can do, you don't dare to force it, let alone you can't insist on it, it will spoil the relationship.
He had no choice but to go in alone and sit down in front of Chen Jin, feeling a little reserved for some reason.
Chen Jin took a leisurely sip of tea and praised: "This tea is good."
Hu Yuanwai immediately remembered it and said: "Sir, I am very grateful for helping my little girl get rid of her wild nature and return to normal. If you need anything, just ask me."
Chen Jin nodded slightly: "I do have something and I want to ask you for help."
"But it doesn't matter."
Hu Yuanwai immediately woke up.
The so-called exchange of favors must come and go in order to be maintained. Otherwise, it will just be like falling flowers and running water, and it will disappear quickly.
Chen Jin asked: "The members are well-spoken outside. I heard that they live here from other places. I wonder if it is the capital city or a large county? Is the surname Hu a fake surname?"
Hu Yuanwai replied: "To be honest, our original surname is 'Linghu', which comes from the Qingqiu bloodline, which can be regarded as an ancient clan tradition, so the bloodline is somewhat special. And this bloodline has always been passed down from female to male. It fell on the little girl and caused many troubles.”
"Not all women are like this, right?" "Indeed, there are depths and depths, which are hard to describe in one word."
It is a matter of racial blood and tradition, which is a matter of supreme privacy, and Hu Yuanwai is obviously unwilling to elaborate on it.
Chen Jin said, "Don't worry, I'm not spying on your family and details, but I want to use this opportunity to ask you something."
Hu Yuanwai hurriedly said: "Excuse me, sir. Although I am not a learned person, I have traveled all over the country and gained some knowledge. I must know everything I know and tell you everything."
Chen Jin got straight to the point: "Is there a big Chen family in Gaozhou County?"
Hearing this, Hu Yuanwai was startled and quickly realized: "Yes, its name is 'Changle', which is one of the four major halls of the Chen family. It has a population of tens of millions, which is quite prosperous."
"Oh, which big four?"
"Changle Hall, Xin'an Hall, Longchuan Hall, Yongxing Hall."
Hu Yuanwai answered honestly, feeling quite puzzled. As a person with a foreign surname, it felt strange for him to give Chen Jin such knowledge.
Could it be that the word "Chen" in Chen Jin is also a fake surname?
It is common for people to remain anonymous and falsely report their names when traveling, especially those traveling around the world. Especially for those who commit crimes, a false name can evade arrest and avoid a lot of trouble. As for portraits and the like, they are too distorted and of little use.

But, does a character like Chen Jin also need to change his name?
Can't figure it out.
Chen Jin asked again: "Has the member of the Communist Party of China had any dealings with the people from Gaozhou County Changletang?"
Hu Yuanwai thought for a while: "There are some, but we don't have close friendships. There are others named Chen, but it's not clear whether they belong to Changletang."
In social relationships, speaking about genealogy is a more serious matter, and it is often used only in marriages or deep friendships. Instead of greeting each other face to face, when introducing yourself, you loudly declare that you are from a certain church.
Moreover, no matter what kind of family it is, apart from the main family, there are too many collateral branches, like the roots of a big tree, countless.
It would be nice if there was a genealogy search, it would be possible to trace the origins and find out clearly.
However, some clans in small places have lost their genealogy due to their long history or encountering accidents, or even have no genealogy at all. Then they become scattered leaves, and no one can tell where the family came from.
For example, Chen Zexiang is like this. Although he has a family tree, he only has a small book that records the five generations of people in the village. After that, it is gone.
Township head Chen Jiande has been talking about rebuilding the family tree.
However, in this dynasty, compiling a genealogy was an extremely solemn matter, and it was not just a matter of casually writing down names.
Various studies, various contacts, various recognitions...
No matter how much you spend, you can do it well.
Chen Zexiang does not have such manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
Unless there is smoke in one of the ancestral tombs and a big shot emerges, he can take charge and get this thing started.
Chen Jin asked again without giving up: "Have you ever heard of a person's name? His name is 'Chen Guiyang'. He should be a young man."
Hu Yuanwai shook his head: "No."
Then he thought about it carefully: "About the Chen family of Changletang, there are some outstanding and handsome descendants, and some of them are impressive to all old people. But it is certain that no one is named 'Chen Guiyang'. If they are dandy children, there are too many. It’s hard to tell. But if you want to find this person, I can send someone to help.”
Chen Jin was waiting for this sentence: "Okay."
Hu Yuanwai was also very happy. He had the opportunity to do things for the other party, and the relationship between them was established.
No matter who "Chen Guiyang" is, there is no need to ask what the relationship between Chen Jin and Chen Guiyang is. As long as you find him, it will be a sign.
The geographical names and surnames in this book are all fictitious, so please do not take them for granted!
