The meaning of the invitation is not complicated, except for the necessary politeness, it is to the point, and it says that two days later, Chen Zhi will hold a banquet for all of you to discuss some things with them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Judging from the wording of the invitation, it was still polite and thoughtful, and even a little humble, but Luo Xun's face was instantly gloomy, and then it became extremely complicated, and his brows were furrowed.

Luo Jiu on the side knew the reason very well.

"Not long ago, Chen Zhi visited the door twice, just to invite my old father to go out, as a tasting party, to participate in the appraisal meeting, but my father refused, but now the situation has changed, Chen Zhi did not come to the door, just sent an invitation, but asked his father to visit him, the difference here, it is self-evident, I don't know how my father will respond."

Thinking of this, Luo Jiu couldn't help but feel worried, if it was according to his heart, he would definitely be a little angry, even annoyed, after all, he was his old father, and his identity was also noble, he was usually respected as everyone, but he was treated like this by Chen Zhi, there was disrespect in it, as a son, Luo Jiu must have an opinion.

However, in terms of ideas, he knew the reason why Chen Zhi did this, because Chen Zhi visited twice before and after, in fact, the first time, his father, had already agreed to the invitation, but due to the customary rules, he wanted to do the last show, but Chen Zhi acted according to the rules, but Luo Xun turned his face and refused directly, which was a breach of promise first, and when he refused, there was also a problem with his attitude.

On the other hand, Chen Zhi is not very old to have such achievements and means, in Luo Jiu's thinking, it is inevitable that some young people will be energetic, and these actions can be understood.

As far as selfishness is concerned, Luo Jiu hopes that his father will agree to the invitation, after all, there was an analysis just now, and the father and son also have their own thoughts, and they suddenly received Chen Zhi's invitation, and the meaning is clear.

"Chen Zhi, this is going to make a drama regardless of previous suspicions." After a long while, Luo Xun spoke again, and his tone was a little meaningful, "Do you say that you should accept it as a father?" ”

Luo Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally said his thoughts truthfully: "Chen Zhi is now Taile Ling, and he has made another scene, but if he wants to have the Xu family and the Zhang family staring at him, he can't show it after all, and he needs someone to help him. Maybe it can also be a good story. ”

"Story?" Luo Xun sneered, "Why didn't my father find out, you are so good at talking now, what do you want is a good story, it is nothing more than some words from the old man, I think that the evaluation will be promising, so I hope that my father will participate in it, and it will strengthen the momentum of the Luo family, yes or no?" In this way, you, the future head of the house, will also benefit. ”

"Your Excellency, forgive your sins!" was called to break his mind, Luo Jiu suddenly felt a spirit, and then bowed over, "But looking at the scene in front of you, this Taile Department's appraisal meeting is indeed as Chen Zhi said at the beginning, it is not a random action, and then look at Mr. Zuo Lian and others, it is also worth looking forward to, since he has come to invite again, father, you have ...... Meaning, why not push the boat with the water? He wanted to say that Luo Xun also had remorse, but he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid of his father's face.

Luo Xun stared at him for a while, and finally said, "Do you know that my father was already motivated, and finally refused Chen Zhi's invitation, why?" It's not from the Xu family, and he promised to let your son get what he wants. ”

"What? This ......," Luo Jiu's expression changed again when he heard this, "is it for my eldest son to be able to go out of the palace guards?" Why didn't my father say it earlier? ”

"Didn't I say it now? And he didn't hesitate to offend Chen Zhi for this, but now he wants to let this kid send a post to ridicule me, let me go to see him, how are you? How to choose? ”

"Child, child......" Luo Jiu's forehead was sweating, obviously there was another battle between heaven and man in his heart, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask my father to fulfill Chen Zhi's appointment!" ”

"Oh?" Luo Xun's originally frowning brows suddenly stretched, and he said lightly: "Why do you have such a decision?" You know, the matter of your son, but I have begged me several times, if you can enter the palace, near the land of the dragon, it will undoubtedly be more convenient for the future. ”

"The matter of the Xu family, but verbal, and there is no movement, and Chen Zhizhi's ability has seen the clues, and now the Xu family sent people to spread rumors, originally wanted to suppress the Taile Department, but it was self-defeating, if according to the father's words, the academy is most afraid that no one knows, then the current street rumors, in fact, are making wedding dresses for Chen Zhi, so that the two academies are more and more known, and then the evaluation will be known by more people, want to come to Mr. Zuo Lian's house, there will be so many people to visit, it is also because of this, because the rumors spread more widely, then the people and things in this appraisal meeting, The more people who know......"

As he spoke, he glanced up at his father for a long time, and saw that the other party was not angry, and he already knew in his heart that he had made the right bet, so he became more and more determined, and said quite righteously: "Besides, my son's affairs are related to his own future, and if you can be involved in the appraisal and literary review, and take the opportunity to expand your father's influence, this is related to the rise and fall of the family. ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and looked like he was at the mercy of Luo Xun's judgment.

The room suddenly fell silent, and finally Luo Xun suddenly laughed, with a look of relief on his face, which made Luo Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.

"Even you, this kid understands the truth, how can you not know that your own face is small, and the family's affairs are big, if you can make the family grow, what if you give me a face?" Luo Xun gradually retracted his smile, "Besides, my father does have remorse, since Chen Zhi dares to send an invitation, if my father doesn't go, wouldn't it make people look down on me, thinking that I am narrow-minded, but ......"

He paused, and changed his words: "In the end, whether to accept his invitation to Chen Zhi, and think about it for the sake of my father, because this matter has not yet settled, you may not know that the Xu family, the Zhang family, and even the Xun family are recently contacting everyone from all walks of life to ask them not to respond to Chen Zhi's invitation, which is not only limited to the article, calligraphy, painting skills, music rhythm, etc., are all among them." ”

"What? These three families came forward to prevent everyone in Luoyang from accepting Chen Zhi's invitation? This...... I'm afraid it's not going to be easy. ”

"Yes, but looking at this invitation, there is quite politeness between the lines, and it can be seen that it is not only the father who has been invited, maybe everyone who rejected Chen Zhi before is among them," Luo Xun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I regret being my father today, plus your words, I am willing to go to the appointment, but if Chen Zhi's invitation can only invite a few people, it means that his influence is like this, and he cannot offset the pressure of the three major families, so the follow-up things cannot be carried out, and the father is just going to the banquet in the past, No other invitations from him will be accepted. ”

Luo Jiu hurriedly said: "This is natural, if there are only a few people, then no matter how exquisite Chen Zhi's follow-up plan is, it is also a tree without roots, and it is difficult to make a difference." ”

Luo Xun's face was no longer gloomy, as if he had figured it out, so he waved his hand and let Luo Jiu leave, and said while moving: "This Chen Zhi reminded the old man before, saying not to regret it because of refusal, but the old man really regretted it, this person is capable, and quite unexpected, I just want to see if everyone else is like the old man, who will go to the banquet because of concerns about the situation." ”

There is a hint of emotion in the words.

Soon, the news of Chen Zhi's invitation spread in Luoyang City.

Among the hundreds of tea shops, there is a handicap, and there are good people who want to bet that a few people will go to the banquet of Chen Zhi.

"In the past few days, rumors have spread on the street, and the clumsy academy has closed its doors, and the students inside have many complaints.

"No, no, don't you hear that Sun Te and others who guard the academy are now famous in Luoyang, I don't know the original momentum, I don't know how much stronger, it's because of the evaluation, in the long run, a few people's reputation has gradually risen, which can make the reputation of the clumsy academy great, how can it be said that Chen Taile acted without consideration, in my opinion, it is clearly a strategy, and this banquet, of course, will be a lot of momentum."

"I also think that Chen Taile is not small, I heard that there have been a lot of rumors in the past few days, and there has been a trend of change, which seems to be expected by him, but after all, he has been in Luoyang for a short time, and his foundation is still shallow, so he may not be able to get his wish if he invites everyone rashly."

……

A lot of discussion has formed a wave of public opinion in the tea shop, spreading in other directions in the city.

As a result, all parties also know that each party has its own calculations.

That Xunjing was the first to inform Deng Meng of the news, saying that Chen Zhi analyzed him and ignored the business.

Deng Meng asked rhetorically: "What name did Chen Taile use to invite everyone?" ”

Xun Jing was speechless for a while, because he didn't know in detail, and after a final toss, knowing that Chen Zhi was inviting everyone in his own name, Deng Meng said: "Since it is his own business, the official is not easy to ask, as long as it does not affect the business, Chen Taile has been in contact with the Dahonglu Mansion for the past few days, and there are reports every day, so the doctor does not need to worry too much." ”

When Xun Jing heard this, he was quite helpless, so he had to retreat, knowing that it was difficult to use this matter to destroy Chen Zhi's position in the Taichang Mansion.

"But this kid won't be proud for long, I'll wait for the three to join forces, there is still room for him to show his performance! Just wait to see his jokes! This person has no respect for his superiors, he really should be educated, and he can also take advantage of the situation to deter Chen Yong! ”

So, in the chaotic atmosphere, two days later, to the date agreed by Chen Zhi, in the eyes of everyone, Chen Zhi held a banquet in Luoyang Restaurant "Xunmei Pavilion", waiting for the arrival of everyone from all walks of life.

This restaurant is the Zhao family's industry, located in the prosperous place of the city, let Chen Zhi set up a banquet, it can be regarded as a show of attitude, on the opposite side of the building, there is a restaurant, called "taste the grass building", then Xu Ji is sitting in it, through the leaky window, the window, coldly looking at the opposite side.
