Chapter 32: Anti-Water?
After Wang Chuan's incident, the Chen family was quite calm for a few days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If there is anything abnormal, it is that the famous ridiculous young master suddenly went against the norm, running to the library every day, and going there all day, even eating a few meals in it, and there was no shortage of times when he read all night. Sometimes, some people saw this Young Master Chen Zhi holding a wooden sword and practicing swordsmanship in the garden.
For a while, the entire Chen Mansion was amazed, and even a few branches of the family had heard of it.
"Really good at pretending, where is he reading, it is clearly for others to see, others may not be able to see through, but they can't hide it from me, they are cramming Buddha's feet in battle, fools know that it is useless, with his ability, can he remember a few words? How much can you understand? I'm just waiting for him to reveal his true form, I've already heard the news, seven days later, the screening will begin, and there should be news to the house in the next two days. ”
In his own house, Chen Yun sat in the main seat, listened to the rumors, and sneered.
His mansion is slightly smaller than the one where Chen Zhi was burned, but the layout and furnishings are far exceeded, and there are many miscellaneous servants shuttling inside and outside the mansion.
Chen Yun's father, Chen Da, has also passed away, and in order to maintain the house, he really struggled with great effort, sometimes even unscrupulous. But even so, the family's surplus wealth is shrinking day by day, and it is about to decline, so it has to think of accumulating money, and a few acres of land in Chen Zhi's family is the most important goal at present, and only by getting it can we get through the difficulties.
"Young Master, what you said about screening is the matter of Guijing Academy? That's a great event. Xu Fang stood in front of Chen Yun, and as he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice, "There is also good news from my side, and the topics screened this time are also eyebrows." ”
"Oh?" Chen Yun suddenly perked up, "Got it?" ”
"This is not yet," Xu Fang rubbed his nose slightly embarrassed, "But it's already a bit of an eyebrow, and it's only been a few days, I promise to send it to you as soon as I get it." ”
"Since you haven't succeeded yet, then don't ask for credit yet," Chen Yun's face sank immediately, "Don't let your guard down on Chen Zhi's side, I suspect that the third elder Xu Zhi will give him a question, maybe there will be an unexpected gain from him." ”
"It's still thoughtful that the young master thinks." Xu Fang was not annoyed when he was reprimanded, and immediately slapped a sycophant over, making Chen Yun feel comfortable, and the latter was about to continue to show his "foresight", but was interrupted by a voice outside the door-
"Young master, the people from the second master's family are here, let you make preparations, follow him to meet the second master, and the second master also asked the person to pass the word, saying that today's dinner, the talents of several families will go, so you should not take it lightly."
This is the porter who came to inform him, saying that Chen Yun is most concerned about in the past two days, and he is going to visit Zhang's mansion.
Chen Yun suddenly couldn't care about anything else, and his expression became solemn.
Zhang's influence in Pengcheng County is not small, Zhang's Taigong was an official to a doctor of Taixue, supervised in the Guozi Prison, not to mention the peach and plum all over the world, but there are also some officials in the court who are his students, so after this old lady returned to his hometown, he had a lot of power to speak in the local area.
However, if you talk purely about family background, the Zhang family is slightly thinner than other families, otherwise you wouldn't have to get only one doctor of Taixue at most.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang's family has many daughters and few sons, but this Mrs. Zhang has a good eye for people, and several daughters are married well.
"Young Master, this Zhangfu banquet is for the Zuo Pavilion Master, right?" Xu Fang saw that Chen Yun was paying attention to it, so he asked.
"That's right, it's the owner of Zuo Yuanzuo, his family has recently risen, because of a famous man all over the world, from the middle and lower families to today's weather, clan studies have also developed into private studies, which is admirable." When Chen Yun spoke, he showed a touch of longing, "Ethnology has become a private study, for us and other big clans, it can not only improve the local quality, but also affect many people, and the foundation is more and more stable. ”
Xu Fang echoed: "I heard that the Zuo family behind this Zuo Pavilion Master has produced a noble concubine, and the famous man in the young master's mouth is Mr. Zuo Si, who attracted Luoyang paper." ”
"Yes, it seems that you have also done your homework, Mr. Zuo Si is really a model for my generation, and celebrities should be like this! If it weren't for him, the Zuo family would never have today's weather! The longing on Chen Yun's face became even stronger.
It turned out that this Mr. Zuo Si did have an extraordinary experience, he was unknown, and his family background was not high, but he wrote a shocking article, which was ridiculed by many famous and famous people, just because Zuo Si was not high, not famous enough, and his family background was not outstanding, but the tone of the article was not small, so he was criticized, but after all, there are still people who know the goods, and under the praise of several great Confucians and celebrities, Zuo Si soared into the sky, and jumped from a nobody to a famous man in the world.
At that time, people all over the world sought after Zuo Si's essays and competed to copy them, so that the paper for transcribing the articles was insufficient, so the price increased!
Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall!
Although Zuo Si did not really ascend to the Tianzi Hall, he ascended to the sky in one step, and such a dramatic life has become a scene that many young literati and family members yearn for.
"Okay, I'll go to the second uncle's mansion first, you can do it according to your own ideas, Chen Zhi's side will investigate again, the preparations are almost complete, just do it." Suppressing the yearning in his heart, Chen Yun said a few words briefly, glanced at the hour, no longer delayed, assigned an errand, and followed the messenger to Chen Bian's house.
Chen Bian's house is not far from the ancestral house of the Chen family, it was originally a courtyard of Mrs. Xu, after Chen Bian got it, it was repaired and expanded, considering the wind and influence, he did not dare to exceed the scale of the ancestral house, but it was second to none among the sons of the Chen family.
Even though he has been here many times, every time Chen Yun comes again, looking at this magnificent building, he sincerely feels envy and pride.
"That's what the people of the family should be, and sooner or later I will have such a day!"
With heroic thoughts, Chen Yun stepped into Second Master Chen's mansion, and calculated in his heart.
"I've read some books these days, I thought Chen Zhi could read it, I should easily read it, but because I couldn't calm down, the result was unsatisfactory, tonight's Zhangfu dinner had to be surprisingly successful, Xu Fang prepared a few poems for me, just to use, this kind of family banquet, juniors chanting poems are all Yongzhi romance, the problem is not big, as long as the poem is good, enough to spread, many details will be supplemented by others......"
In the midst of gains and losses, Chen Bian came to the main hall, and Chen Bian was ready to go.
"This is leaving?" Chen Yun was a little surprised, he thought that he would have to wait here for a while, make preparations, and turned his head to look at the sky, "There is still a while before the dinner." ”
"The Zhang family just sent someone over and said let's go half an hour in advance, other families don't have to go so early, and we have to take a detour, something happened to a shop under my name, let's go and see first," Chen Bian's expression was unwavering, so Chen Yun couldn't guess what he was thinking, "How have you been studying these days?" Screening is coming, can you be confident? ”
"Back to the second uncle, I haven't been out of the house for the past few days, I have been preparing with all my might, and I have read a lot of books." Chen Yun is experienced, don't blink your eyes when she lies, "I will do my best then, I will not fall into the prestige of the Chen Mansion, and I will not let Chen Zhi's ridiculous man discredit our family." ”
"That's good," Chen Bian said, frowning slightly, "In addition, you don't have to be too harsh on Chen Zhi in the future, no one is perfect, and he is not useless, the two of you should support each other and review your knowledge, you can also try to exchange experiences, after all, Guijing's quota is limited, they are all members of the same family, and it is right to work together, don't let me hear the news that you are unfavorable to him in the future." ”
"Huh?" Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling, and he was a little panicked, "The second uncle's attitude is not quite right, and there are signs of letting Chen Zhi go, could it be that he was affected by what he has been studying hard recently?" Want to support him instead? ”
"I'll talk to you on the way." Chen Bian glanced at Chen Yun, thought about it, and decided to reveal some of the information he had to Chen Yun, which was also one of the reasons why he left early.
