"Seventh brother, it's really yours! In front of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, he directly rejected the two. "On the way back from worshipping the ancestors, Chen Luo walked beside the Chen Zhi brothers, and gave a thumbs up as he walked, "I heard that the faces of the eldest uncle and the second uncle were very ugly at the time, but I couldn't help it, and praised you twice, hey, if this were replaced by someone else, they would have a seizure on the spot."www.biquge.info ”

Chen Zhu said with some worry: "Brother, isn't this time offended the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and there will be no trouble, right?" ”

Chen Luo laughed, patted Chen Zhu's shoulder and said, "Little Eleven, you still don't understand, in that situation, if you agree to one, you will offend the other, and it may not be beneficial." Besides, do you think that Seventh Brother will be in trouble because of the unhappiness of his elders? Wrong, now that Brother Qi is in the Chen family, he is not a junior, but a leading figure! ”

"This ......" Chen stopped being stunned when he heard this, and the memories of the past period of time crossed his heart, faintly realized.

Chen Luo came to Chen Zhi's side again, and said with a low smile: "Seventh brother, I won't tell you, I also have a mission this time, my old father knows that I am friendly with you, so let me mention it to you, saying that you will go to our house to stay for a few days, the reason is also the same as the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and I understand it, but I think that the seventh brother is not the one who will agree." ”

Chen Zhi also laughed: "The eighth brother who knows me is also." ”

Chen Luo grinned, and lowered his voice a few points: "It is estimated that in the past few days, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and even several other uncles will not give up, you have to be mentally prepared, now you have swallowed a lot of Bai family industry, such a piece of fat, except for the part given to you, the others are all family property, all parties are staring at it, who can get your support, coupled with the momentum of the greetings, I don't know how much benefit I can get, this is all real money, who will not get along with silver?" ”

"I understand that, too." Chen Zhi nodded, knowing what Chen Luo was referring to.

Before the Bai family case, the Chen family was not united, there were many mountains in the clan, and when the disaster was at the head and the lips were cold, the various forces in the family put aside their prejudices and united and cooperated sincerely, but as soon as the crisis passed, they reverted to their old ways.

Chen Zhi also understands that one family, so many people, and many industries are not normal if there is no internal fighting, and struggle is the norm, but Chen Zhi does not intend to mix in, and there is no need to mix.

But the value of Chen Zhi has been reflected, but anyone from the Chen family who has a little thought about it will not give up on winning Chen Zhi's support.

Sure enough, not long after he finished saying this, as soon as he returned to Shulinzhai, someone came to visit, it was the steward of Chen Yuan's family, he opened his mouth in front of Chen Zhi, and what he said was that if it was inconvenient to live in Shulinzhai, he could go to Chen Yuan's place to live.

"Unexpectedly, even the eighth uncle sent someone."

Looking at the back of the steward, Chen Zhu couldn't help but sigh, that Chen Yuan had always given him the feeling that he was a cautious doer, but he didn't expect to act like this.

However, given the importance of fame in this era, everything is less abrupt.

Half an hour later, the housekeeper of Chen Yuan's family also came to visit, and Chen stopped seeing such a scene, and he really put his mind at ease, knowing that rejecting the eldest uncle and second uncle was not necessarily a bad thing.

Even Chen Fu, who was guarding the store, understood, and said to Chen Zhi with a smile: "It seems that you can't sit still, and you all want the young master to show your attitude, I don't know what you think, young master?" It stands to reason that we are also in the same lineage as the clan, so we don't necessarily have to be helpers for others......" This loyal servant has lived a good life for two days, as if he has a bigger goal.

It's a pity that Chen Zhi shook his head, he had no interest in the Chen Mansion at all, he had participated in all kinds of things before, but his predecessor left a mess, and now that he got out, where could he still intrigue for the power of a family.

Seeing Chen Zhi's lack of interest, Chen Fu secretly regretted it, and then his spirit was shocked, he knew that as long as Chen Zhi was there, he and the others would become a mountain in the Chen family, and they would not be bullied again, but there was still a little fly in the ointment-

"It's just that in this way, this festival will inevitably be deserted."

"It's better to be quiet, just for learning." Chen Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he just needed time to study the classics in his heart.

Chen Fu was even more helpless when he heard it, and in his selfish heart, he still hoped to be more lively, so that they could make their branch seem prosperous.

However, Chen Zhi had no intention of this, but several of his uncles were unwilling to stop.

Let's just say that the two stewards who came over just now brought Chen Zhi's reply back, and the two Chen family masters had their own judgments.

"Maybe it's to avoid suspicion and don't want to offend others." Chen Liuye Chen Yu listened to the reply, groaned slightly, and said, "In the past few days, you have been staring at Fengyang Street, my seventh nephew has such a reputation, it is inevitable that he will be proud, if it is next year's New Year's Day, I will not be uninteresting to invite, but this year he is estimated that no one will come to the door, after all, when his reputation rises, it is already the root of the year, and when he recognizes the situation, he may have to change his mind, and then you invite again, you should be able to succeed, after all, it is my Chen family Junjie, I can't really let him live in the cold." ”

"Master, don't worry, the news of the Seventh Young Master, I promise to be the first to send it to you." Chen Yuan's steward immediately went to arrange manpower, but when he arrived at the place, he found that not only did he bring people, but also the stewards of the eldest master Chen Chi, the second master Chen Bian, the fifth master Chen Xun, and the eighth master Chen Yuan also brought people to guard in their own stores.

Most of the industries in Fengyang Street were owned by the Chen family in the past, and now although they are in decline, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and each family still has shops.

After the stewards met, they all tacitly understood the reason.

Don't talk about the movements of the various branches of the Chen family, but say that Yang Yong, the county commander, has been acting in a low-key manner since the day of the court, but when the New Year comes, he has to say something.

Yang Yong, as a liuguan, wants to govern a county well, and he can't do without the support of the local clans.

At this time, the servant of the house asked Yang Yong about his arrangements, so that he could prepare the gifts and arrange the itinerary.

“…… Master, everything for the Zhang family has been prepared, and there is the Chen family. ”

"The Chen family?" Yang Yong's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was unhappy.

The Chen family is now colluding with the county government and the officials of the county government to loot the Bai family's property, involving the interests of all parties.

However, after going through the previous events, let him provoke the Chen family again, it won't be enough, but now go to congratulate the Chen family?

Yang Yong shook his head and said: "The prince of the Chen Mansion is newly mourned, there is no venerable person in the family, so I will not congratulate the Chen Mansion this year, in a few days, you can take the official worship post and invite a few members of the Chen family to come to the mansion to participate in the Spring Festival banquet, and it will be fine." ”

The head of a county, if he does not congratulate the family in his jurisdiction, it will undoubtedly send all kinds of signals, and this servant is also a clever person, knowing the master's concerns, he just nodded yes, and went to prepare for the New Year's ceremony.

Leaving Yang Yong alone, he pondered.

"After Bai Qing's incident, the Liu family has also had a repetition, but it seems that I and the Chen family have torn their faces, so there will be less contact in the future, he Chen Zhi is a disaster star, I can't afford to provoke it, can't I hide? I don't worship the Chen family, no one forces me to go, right? Wait for me to move my position, and I don't care what his Chen family is! ”

With such an idea, Yang Yong sat down with peace of mind.

With the end of the day of the sacrifice, the festival atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, the people are happy, eat the good food that they are usually reluctant to eat, the scholars are walking the streets and alleys, congratulating each other, Chen Zhi also went to the three old homes to congratulate, causing Xu Zhi to be very happy, and praised him again and again.

During this period, there were also many Spring Festival poetry meetings, but most of them were convened by the younger generation, highlighting the romance, scattered, and not into the climate.

"Compared with the previous two years, Pengcheng has improved a little."

In this festive atmosphere, the day after worshipping the ancestors, a group of people came to Pengcheng and stayed in an inn, led by Chen Hua, who deliberately dressed normally.

More than a dozen people in their group came to communicate with the Chen family from Xiapi, and the leader was Chen Hua, who once attacked the Chen family in Pengcheng in Liuxian.

As soon as he got off the house, a servant asked, "Third young master, why do you want to stay in any inn, inform the Pengcheng Chen family, let them arrange manpower, and come to greet you." ”

"How can it be so simple," Chen Hua smiled slightly, and said a reason, "I came here this time, on the surface, it is the blood relatives after the sacrifice, but in private, I want to warn the Pengcheng Chen family, so that they can't forget the fundamentals of family learning because of an outstanding son, but this Pengcheng Chen family is also a head and face, and may not be convinced, so I have to figure out the situation of his family first, so I can prescribe the right medicine." ”

"High!" The servant quickly chimed in.

Chen Hua smiled faintly and continued: "After the New Year's Day, it is the time to congratulate, and I can best see the atmosphere of a family, I want to know, how down the Chen family in Pengcheng has fallen now, and seeing who has congratulated them is the easiest way." ”

The servant smiled and immediately flattered: "Young Master, you are really far-sighted, by the way, the outstanding son you are talking about is that Chen Zhi, right?" Our inn is not far from Fengyang Street, why don't I go and investigate? ”

Chen Hua waved his hand and said indifferently: "It doesn't have to be like this, the pattern is enlarged a little, you have to look at the entire Pengcheng Chen family, not a child, you are in charge of some people, don't deliberately understand Chen Zhi, otherwise others will think that I, Chen Hua, will also focus on the junior competition, and lower the style in vain, the goal of this is less, but the people of Chen Chi's generation, this time, I want to convince them!" ”

The servant was immediately impressed and began to make arrangements.

Time passed, and soon it was evening, and the Chen family stayed on Fengyang Street for two days, seeing that Shulinzhai was deserted, except for the greetings of neighbors, there were no weighty people coming to congratulate, and this heart was at the bottom.

"It is estimated that no one will congratulate you today, and if it is the same in the next two days, if you invite it again, maybe it will be a success."

Just as a few stewards were about to move, they saw several figures dressed in big clothes walking from the entrance of the street and came straight to the door of Shulinzhai.

Several of the Chen family's stewards were also well-informed, stared at them for a while, and recognized one person.

"This person is like Young Master Wang Xi of the Wuyuan Wang family, the prince passed away a while ago, this person has been here, why did he appear here, could it be that he came to congratulate the seventh young master?"
