Reborn as a tyrant

The ancestor is getting older and older, and now he only grows flowers at home and reads books. Grandma Chen looks very healthy, seeing Xiaobao and the others coming, she goes to the kitchen to pour tea for them. It's too late to stop.

Mr. Chen was watering the flowers, and the three of Xiaobao stood behind him without saying a word. When the old man put down the watering can, Kong Siyang stepped forward to support him, "I told you to rest more, why are you watering again?" ?”

"It's just watering, and you'll be tired anywhere." Chen Lao waved his hand, signaling for several people to follow him into the study.

Xiaobao has also been here twice, and every time he comes in, he will be shocked once. Compared with this place, the bookstore of a certain alien man on a certain TV in Bangzi Country is simply scum, but think about it, China has thousands of years of history Well, thousands of years of civilization inheritance, how can those small foreign countries can compare.

"Speaking of which, Xiaobao will be eighteen this year, right?" Elder Chen asked while sitting on the teacher's chair, sipping his tea.

"Based on actual age, yes." Xiao Bao was puzzled, and answered honestly.

Old Chen nodded, "When is your birthday?"

"It's on the 26th of this month." For rural children, those whose birthdays are not birthdays are really not valued by the city people, like his sisters, but now the conditions are good, at most they eat bowls of noodles with an egg on top , and his parents never had a birthday.

"Then it's next week, so why don't you say anything, senior brother, I'm ready!" Chen Xiangfei said happily.

Kong Siyang knew about Xiaobao's birthday, because someone abroad called him several times yesterday, and that's why he went to socialize today.

"It's not a big deal." Xiaobao smiled, he really didn't care much about this.

"Your birthday is of course a big event." Chen Xiangfei disagreed.

Old Chen smiled and said: "The ceremony of coming of age is indeed a big event. This place is also far away from your home. Come to me on the day of your birthday. Then I will give you another name."

Now, Xiaobao finally understood what Old Chen meant.

Speaking of which, after he met Mr. Chen in the capital with his master for the first time, Mr. Chen murmured his name, saying that it would be okay to be a nickname, but if he were a big name, he would seem petty.

Xiao Bao wanted to refute at that time, isn't there a big leader named X Bao?But when you think about it carefully, his name does seem more stingy.

Regarding this point, Xiaobao said that he was also very helpless. Originally, the Zhang family finally got a boy, and they didn’t take a real name because they were afraid that they would not grow up, so they took a nickname like Xiaobao. I don't know which link is wrong, and it becomes Xiaobao.

Zhang Dashan later said that he had changed it when he was in elementary school. Unexpectedly, when he was five years old, he met a monk and said that he had a good fate when he saw Xiaobao. After hearing his name, he was even more amazing. , Said that this name is worthy of his fate, and he will enjoy a lifetime of blessings. So far, the family has never mentioned the matter of changing his name.

Picking a character means that ancient scholars or wealthy people, when they are crowned, that is, when they are adults, their parents, teachers or people of high esteem will choose a character. From then on, classmates and friends will call you a character instead of your name.

This custom is rarely used in modern times, but the orthodox scholarly family still bestows characters on children when they become adults, such as Kong Siyang, Chen Xiangjie, and Chen Xiangfei all have their own characters, but they are not like ancient times. In that way, the name is completely replaced and the word is used instead.

Now it's Xiaobao's turn, with such a great name, as a man, he must choose a good word, this is what Chen Lao said.

In ancient times, the crowning ceremony was one of the most important days in a man's life. Of course, it is also important in modern times, but it is definitely not so cumbersome and troublesome. The biggest convenience is to be able to get an ID card and enter an official Internet cafe. There are no Internet cafes yet.

On the day of Xiaobao's birthday, the junior uncle who has always been in a hurry also appeared, and the second uncle in the capital, Kong Siyang and Chen Xiangfei had no reason not to attend.

Followed the ancient rituals and went through a simple process. In the end, Xiao Bao knelt down in front of the master and let him teach and admonish him.

"Your parents named you Xiaobao, which means that you are the treasure of the family and have great expectations for you. You are the only male in the family. If so, I will name you Chengqi. Do you have any objections?" Mr. Chen Looking at Xiaobao, he said.

"Thank you, Master, for giving me the words, Cheng Qi." Xiao Bao bowed respectfully, and the ceremony was considered complete.

Next, according to the modern way, Chen Xiangfei bought a birthday cake for him. Of course, the elders in the family would not sing any happy birthday songs. They just lit the candles, made a wish, and started cutting the cake.

At this moment, there was a sound from outside, and several people couldn't help turning their heads, and saw a tall and tall man entering the door hurriedly, seeing Xiaobao, and said softly: "I'm back."

"Brother?" Xiao Bao immediately ran to Chen Xiangjie, "Aren't you abroad?"

Chen Xiangjie put down his luggage, looked up and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him, and said indifferently: "It's a holiday, I'm back." His eyes turned to the cake on the table, "Whose birthday is today?"

Kong Siyang at the dining table rolled his eyes, he could really pretend.

"It's me, Senior Brother. I'm eighteen years old today. How about it? Do you have any presents?" Xiaobao was overjoyed.

Chen Xiangjie: "Yes."

Xiaobao: What does en mean?

Passing over Xiaobao and coming to Old Chen, Chen Xiangjie called Grandpa and Grandma, and said nothing else, Old Chen still looked the same, but Grandma Chen, who was obviously very happy to see Chen Xiangjie, pulled him to look left and right, and said something Constantly muttering: "I lost weight, I lost weight."

After the meal, Xiaobao received gifts from many elders, among which the most valuable was Chen Lao’s, a set of extremely rare ancient books. There are only five sets in the world today, and everyone else gave them the Four Treasures of the Study, and Chen Xiangjie Because I came back later, I didn't give a gift.

Chen Xiangjie only had a three-day vacation this time, that is, he came back from abroad, took a nap, and left again the next night.So he asked Xiaobao to sleep with him at night and chat, Xiaobao hesitated for a while, and agreed.

"I prepared a gift for you." After taking a shower, they sat cross-legged on the bed, Chen Xiangjie said suddenly.

"Really? Where is it?" Xiaobao put down the book, and then wondered, "Don't you know my birthday? How could there be a gift?"

He stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaobao's nose, and immediately let go before he called, and said calmly, "How could I not know your birthday? Did you forget that I sent you birthday presents every year?"

Thinking of this makes him angry, he has a spare room upstairs, which is dedicated to Chen Xiangjie's so-called birthday present, the oversized doll pig, which is the same every year, but the expression and color are different.

Looking at Xiaobao's face, Chen Xiangjie knew what he was thinking, and smiled, saying, "This time it's different, it's a surprise."

Xiaobao glanced at him, his face full of doubts, but finally defeated by his sincere eyes, he nodded, "I believe you once, take it out quickly." Xiaobao promised that even if he gave a notebook this time, he would Also happy to accept.

"This is the surprise you gave me? It's such a 'surprise'!" Xiaobao looked at the little pig that kept jumping up and down on the bed, grinding his teeth.

"You're welcome." Chen Xiangjie said with a smile in his eyes.

The author has something to say: I have received your wishes. According to statistics, 80.00% of them chose the No. [-] development route.

In fact, relatively speaking, I myself prefer No. [-]. As for the issue of money, the money I had before entering the unit, and it was obtained through legitimate channels, would not be a big problem. He will invest, but he will not come forward himself, and will ask Chen Xiangjie to help, otherwise why should he be asked.

Another: Even if Xiaobao invests directly, please note that I am talking about entering the Qingshui Yamen and becoming a petty official. There are people who are not afraid of these at all.

Lovers, what's up (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～
