Chapter 243: The Scholar in the Wang's Mansion is Blocked
When the invitation came, after Chen Zhi read it, he met the person who sent the invitation again, talked with him for a few words, and asked the reason, because Chen Zhi knew very well that if he had any connection with the Wang family, it would only be in the Wobing Building, and he had spoken to Wang Ware and the bookworm Wang Kui.

"But that Wang Kui doesn't seem to have much authority in the Wang family, as for Wang Kui, there are a lot of doubts, it's hard to say whether it's a person from the Wang family or not, in addition, there is no contact between me and the Wang family, why do you suddenly send an invitation."
Chen Zhizi is very clear, he now has a three-grade hometown product, and he has a lot of reputation, and he is gathering momentum in Kaiyang, and then came to participate in the Wang Family Cultural Conference, it seems that he is not in the limelight, but in the final analysis, he still lays the foundation, and in front of a behemoth like the Wang family, it is nothing at all.
It is really unusual for a force like the Wang family to choose to send an invitation to him at this time.
It's just that although the servant of the Wang family who delivered the letter was personable, his knowledge was limited, and he couldn't ask why.
As soon as the people left, the focus of this banquet immediately shifted to Chen Zhi again, and they all looked over.
"I have long heard that Mr. Chen has a relationship with my Wang family, and now it seems that this is the case, when you arrived, the family couldn't sit still, and immediately sent an invitation, the servant just now is a member of the sect family, and it is not easy for a side family like us to see." When Wang Qi spoke, there was still a little exclamation on his face, as a member of the Wang family system, he could better appreciate the weight of this kind of invitation.
Zhang Xiao also nodded and said: "As soon as people arrive, the Wang family will send an invitation, this kind of thing is not common, but it can't be said to be rare, but those are all old people who have been famous for a long time, or people who have already been famous all over the world, Mr. Chen is so old, and he has not yet become a leader, he can enjoy such treatment, it is indeed not simple." β
Wang Qi nodded in agreement, and then said: "With Mr. Chen's current hometown products and popularity, if he is out immediately, I am afraid that the lowest is a fifth-grade position, or he will be able to gain real power in a few years." β
When he said this, Chen Zhi's heart really moved, and he couldn't help but think about the question of the outcome.
Due to the influence of various factors, Chen Zhi now has such a reputation, whether it is his family or himself, or even the second and third brothers behind him, their circumstances have made Chen Zhi have to go through.
"However, there is also something worth operating on this issue, the intrigue in the previous life is enough, and it will be boring to come back again in this life, maybe Zhuge Yan and Jiang Yi are also doing it to put an end to unnecessary constraints."
He was still thinking about it here, and everyone else was talking about the invitation of the Wang family, but Zuo Yuan, Zuo Qing and the others looked a little nervous, looking like they wanted to say something, but they didn't say it at the banquet in the end.
After the banquet, the Zuo family led a few people to the room that had been prepared a long time ago, and when it was time for Chen Zhi, Zuo Yuan looked like he had something to say.
Chen Zhi looked at it and said with a smile: "Brother Zuo, if you have something in your heart, just say it." β
Seeing this, Zuo Yuan smiled bitterly: "I don't know, when the Wang family invited Brother Chen." β
"Two days later." Chen Zhi didn't hide it, and at the same time, he also saw the other party's concerns, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Zuo, do you remember what I said when you sent the post in Xuzhou?" So there is no need to worry, Chen is not a person who breaks his word and gets fat. β
Zuo Yuan showed a little shame, nodded and said: "I believe in Brother Chen, but if I care, it will be chaotic, and as soon as Brother Chen arrived in Linyi, the Wang family sent out an invitation, which inevitably made people think more, plus the matter of the little prince of the Huns a while ago, Linyi was full of storms, and I wondered if the Wang family was thinking about it." β
Obviously, Zuo Yuan is worried about the invitation of the Wang family, in order to win over Chen Zhi, for the Zuo family, it can be said that the salary is drawn from the bottom of the kettle, compared with the Wang family, the Zuo family is nothing at all, and few people can refuse the conditions that the Wang family can take, in case Chen Zhi leaves, the Zuo family will not even have a pillar.
"Brother Chen, don't blame me for being too careful, I will also explain to you a truth, because of the relationship between the Xingtan and the Tao, many Hu people have arrived, such as the generation of the little prince of the Huns, which has really stirred up a lot of turmoil and attracted the attention of all parties, so this article will affect the reputation of a family to a large extent, if my Zuo family is defeated at the meeting, the impact is too great, and the family may collapse."
The rise of the Zuo family is based on Zuo Si and his sister, but these have already passed through the times, and even Zuo Si made a lot of mistakes in the end, the foundation of the Zuo family is not stable, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time.
"Your concerns, I understand, don't worry." Chen Zhi gave such a reply, his tone did not change, let alone firm, but after Zuo Yuan heard it, he felt inexplicably relieved.
And so the people rested.
In the next two days, Linyi County continued to have old people and celebrities from all directions, and the arrival of each person would set off a wave and give birth to many topics, like waves of sea water, covering all kinds of things in front, even the news of Jiang Yiqi's defeat soon showed signs of dissipation, not to mention the arrival of Chen Zhi, he was like a stone sunk in the sea, showing nothing, except for the people of the Zuo family, others had forgotten him.
In this case, the time reached the third day, and this was the day when Chen Zhi was going to the Wang family for a banquet.
Because the Wang family is everyone, and it is the first time to post to Chen Zhi, which is considered polite, so Chen Zhi should also treat each other politely, and he was ready this morning, and then took the scholar Chen Wu and took the ox cart of the Zuo family to the Wang family.
The name of the Langya Wang family is loud outside, as if it is a whole, but in the base camp of their Wang family, it is a different picture, because the family is strong and the population is large, even if it is the main line of the clan, it is actually divided into several mountains, because the family motto is still filial, so they are all in the same breath with each other.
In this way, there is more than one Wang family's mansion in this city, and it is one of them that has given Chen Zhizhi, and its head is named Wang Dao.
"The king and the horse share the world, I didn't expect to meet Wang Dao in this situation."
When the ox cart stopped, Chen Zhi got out of the car, and saw that the Wang family house in front had already opened the door in accordance with etiquette, and several family members lined up to greet him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The name of Wang Dao can be said to have been passed down through the ages, and he is a real masterpiece, which has a great influence on Chinese history.
However, Chen Zhi had already seen a lot of such characters in his previous life, so although he was emotional, he didn't have much performance in his actions, and his expression was ordinary.
What's more, the payment for this invitation was not Wang Dao, but one of his nephews, named Wang Guang.
In the past two days, Chen Zhi has also learned about this Wang Guang like Wang Qi, knowing that his father died early, which was related to the Xuanwu Northern Expedition, and then he was adopted by Wang Dao, treated like a parent, about 20 years old, and wrote good calligraphy.
In fact, almost all the people related to Wang Dao are famous calligraphers, and after Chen Zhi got off the bus, a name popped up in his mind.
"I don't know if the book saint will be able to see it."
With such a thought, Chen Zhi stepped forward, looked at the red lacquered gate in front of him, and the plaque on the door, and saw the two words "Wangfu" that looked quite ordinary, but he caught a thick breath in them.
"Mr. Chen, my young master has been waiting for a long time, please follow me in."
At this time, a man of no small age came over, his hair was gray, but his waist was straight, his steps were very steady, and the spacing of each step seemed to have been accurately measured, and there was not much difference.
This person said words of welcome in his mouth, but his eyes did not have the slightest sense of welcome, and Gu Jing swept over Chen Zhi and Chen Wu without waves, and he didn't seem to care.
But Chen Zhi saw a hint of precaution in his eyes.
"This person has martial arts, and his attainments are not low, and he is always vigilant." Chen Zhi's gaze swept over the man's hands, and when he saw that there were many green tendons and calluses, he could see a little bit of detail.
Gathering his thoughts, Chen Zhi followed the man into the courtyard, and through the blue and red courtyard, he saw a young boy running in a corner of the courtyard, as if playing.
Compared with the mansion of the Zuo family, this palace can be said to be much larger, even if it is the ancestral house of the Chen family in Pengcheng, it is not comparable, just a slightly larger hall, there are no less than three.
It was only when I walked to the innermost side hall that the person who led the way stopped, stood by the door, and made a "please" gesture.
"Chen Gongzi, please enter the hall, several young masters and young ladies are waiting inside."
"Miss?" Chen Zhi was slightly surprised.
The defense of men and women in this era is not as strict as that of later generations, but the daughters of large families still do not show their heads easily, and such things as meeting guests are rarely heard of.
However, the Wang family is a big family, maybe the situation is different, and he is a guest, and he is about to see the main master, so there is no need to ask more, so he nodded and stepped into it.
As soon as Chen Zhi left, Chen Wu was about to follow, but after taking two steps, he was blocked by the leader, so he heard him say: "This is the place where our clan will meet guests, and Chen Gongzi is invited to enter alone, and this little guy will wait outside for the time being." β
Chen Zhi stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the man's words, and saw that he was unmoved.
This scholar is different from ordinary servants, he is a companion, and there are many ordinary scholars who accompany him, and occasionally there are anecdotes, but this time he came to the Wang family, and the main owner has not seen it, so he blocked the scholar first.
Dismounted?
Chen Zhi changed his mind in his heart, understood a little in his heart, and was somewhat sure of the reason for this meeting, so he asked with a smile: "I don't know if a few young masters and young ladies of the Wang family have also let the scholar wait outside, if so, you might as well let me, a little scholar, go over and stay with them, after all, the Wang family's mansion is high, and he is waiting here alone, so it is inevitable that he will be anxious." β
The leader of the way, with the same expression, was about to speak, when a voice came from the hallβ
"It's okay, let that scholar come in together, just to see Brother Chen's ability to teach people."
