Chen Xi basically wouldn't treat those who really treated him well, and Steward Chen touched the stars on the chessboard, extremely emotional, although he hoped that Chen Xi could make the Chen family rise, but he never thought that one day Chen Xi would really be able to reach this height.

After a game, more than half an hour has passed, Chen Xi's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not too good, but they are not too bad, but they still lost to Steward Chen, Chen Xi's father can give the chessboard to Steward Chen, if the other party does not have a good chess skill, it will be in vain.

"Sure enough, it's not Uncle Chen's opponent." Chen Xi smiled, put away the chess pieces as he did back then, he was not a good chess player, and he didn't have so much time to spend on this kind of thing, at most he could be adjusted.

"The head of the house is just not on the chess game." Steward Chen said with a sigh, knowing that Chen Xi's mind was not in this aspect, so he chatted about the past and sent Chen Xi away.

"Huh, is this the head of the house?" After Chen Xi left, the cautious child who had been hiding behind Steward Chen before let out a long sigh of relief.

"You unassailable fellow." Steward Chen touched his beard and said with a look of pity, "Originally, I wanted you to show your face in front of the head of the family, to see that you are timid." ”

The child pouted, "I couldn't help but feel a kind of restraint when the head of the house came over, really, and he is so powerful, I'm not afraid of it's strange." ”

After all, it is a grandson, and the child is not afraid of Steward Chen at all, but he has a reasonable explanation.

"If you can behave the same before as you do now, I won't worry." Steward Chen reached out to grab his grandson.

As Steward Chen said, if his grandson could be as comfortable as he is now, he would be able to enter Chen Xi's face. Steward Chen will pull down his old face and beg Chen Xi, but unfortunately he is not angry.

Steward Chen has followed Chen Xi for so many years and understands. Chen Xi is not the kind of person who is purely selfless, although public heart is important. But it's not that it's completely out of the way for the benefit of oneself.

In the simplest way, Chen Xi's nephew and another stranger are qualified for a certain position at the same time, and the abilities of both parties are similar, Chen Xi will not consider strangers at all.

As for abandoning relatives and protecting outsiders, Chen Xi will not do this kind of thing, since the ability is the same, why not find a person who is at ease with himself, since his relatives also have the ability. Then go up, if you have the opportunity to be sharp, Chen Xi will also be willing to be a promoter.

However, this is all based on one point, the ability of both sides is about the same, Chen Xi will not deliberately suppress a certain person, and then let the person he promotes, this era has reached this point where there is no one worthy of Chen Xi to suppress.

If the ability does not reach a certain level and wants to ask Chen Xi for help, then don't mention it. Saying it can only hurt feelings, it is true that Chen Xi is willing to help, but your ability must reach a certain level.

In Chen Xi's concept, relatives and friends are not used to show that they are fair and honest. To be precise, when an official does not cross his relatives and friends from the list because of virtue and talent, I am afraid that his selfishness is too big to look at directly.

Therefore, Chen Xi has always expressed contempt for the kind of guy who uses his relatives and friends to show his fairness and integrity, for his own path. Let your relatives and friends have no way out, or even cut off the way of your relatives and friends. This kind of person is better to be a friend than a stranger.

Of course, this is not nepotism, Chen Xi is still clear about this degree. I remember someone once told him that if he didn't reach that downline, then he wouldn't come to him, and if he did, then that batch would be like that.

Similarly, Steward Chen also knew this, so he didn't go to Chen Xi, there was no need to make it difficult for Chen Xi, after all, his grandson Guo Kai was not excellent.

"Come, let me see if your chess skills have improved." Steward Chen said with a smile after letting go of his thoughts.

Then the grandfather and grandson started a game in the house, different from Chen Xi's kind of rapid chess, whether it was Steward Chen or Guo Kai, they were very slow, but if Chen Xi came over at this time and saw Guo Kai's thoughtful expression, I am afraid he would take a closer look.

Yongzhou, Chang'an, and Guan Yu's team escorting the treasure dowry finally arrived on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was barely in time for the court meeting.

Looking at Chang'an, which already had a bit of prosperity, Guan Yu couldn't help but nodded, Cao Cao did have capable people under him.

It is said that Guan Yu's sense of Cao Cao is not bad, if it weren't for the incident in Xuzhou, Guan Yu and Cao Cao would probably be able to drink and talk happily, after all, when he was in the Tiger Prison, Cao Cao's cup of wine Guan Yu still remembered, and he had not become famous at that time.

"This general, can you give me a ride?" Just when Guan Yu was reminiscing about the past, a ragged and embarrassed guy suddenly said to Guan Yu not far away.

It is said that Guan Yu does not enter the city now, just to wait at the gate of the city to greet him, after all, it is Liu Bei's envoy to see the driver, and Da Honglu, one of the nine Qings, is rarely to greet him in person, after all, Liu Bei is the only prince who pays tribute every year, and he is also a clan surnamed Liu.

Guan Yu glanced at Liu Ba, who was extremely embarrassed, to be honest, if it wasn't for Liu Ba greeting Guan Yu, Guan Yu would definitely treat Liu Ba as an ordinary outcast.

By the way, there is basically no such thing as a homeless creature on Liu Bei's side at present, manpower is defined as the largest resource in Chen Xi, manpower is needed for buildings and roads everywhere, and one homeless person is counted as one, and those who come do not refuse.

Guan Yu glanced at Liu Ba, and then closed his eyes again to recuperate, and Zhou Cang immediately comprehended, took Liu Ba aside, and saw that the garrison army did not avoid, and Guan Yu, who came to ask for help, had met one for so many years, that was Chen Xi.

Recalling the original scene, Guan Yu didn't think about embarrassing Liu Ba because of this, as for the body shape and clothing hindering the city's appearance, Guan Yu didn't take it to heart, just enter the city and separate, and the matter requested by the party was just a gesture for Guan Yu.

"Thank you General Guan, he will be rewarded in the future." Although Liu Ba said that he was ragged and embarrassed, he still had an unusual momentum between his hands and feet.

Guan Yu didn't speak, still closed his eyes, until Da Honglu Zhou Huan came to greet him, saying that because Li Dao and Guo Yan solved the food problem, the two of them did not fight, and a large number of important ministers who should have died in Guo Li's rebellion basically did not die.

After Guan Yu entered Chang'an, Cao Cao took Cao Ang to look at Guan Yu from afar, I don't know why, Cao Cao has always admired Guan Yu very much, of course, he is also very envious of Guan Yu's beard, but the two sides are embarrassed to see each other now, and Cao Cao can only peek from afar.

Of course, Cao Cao's actions could not be concealed from Guan Yu, and when he entered Chang'an, he paid attention to Cao Cao, but unfortunately since the incident in Xuzhou, it can be said that things are wrong.

"Ang'er, take care of your brother Cao Zhen." Cao Cao retracted his gaze, looked at Cao Ang and said. (To be continued.) )
