Chen Hua only recently arrived at the Chen Mansion in Luoyang, and after his arrival, he behaved very low-key, and he lived in seclusion every day, and even the invitations of other Chen family children were all refused.

This Chen Hua is a famous person in Xiapi, he is famous in Jiangzuo, and he studied under a famous teacher, and he is very famous in the Chen family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But this time, when he came to Luoyang, he was so dormant, and the other Chen family disciples knew the reason in their hearts, because of the previous article "Shi Said", everyone present also knew the reason before and after, so no one said much.

Unexpectedly, after this tasting meeting, Chen Hua suddenly became active, connecting back and forth, calling for this gathering.

Like before, this time, the other children of the Chen family also knew what Chen Hua wanted, but no one dared to say it casually, because Chen Zhi was a real power bureaucrat at the moment, even if the other Chen family children had ideas in their hearts, they would not be stupid to say it.

However, Chen Zi, who was directly targeted by Chen Hua, chuckled lightly and said loudly: "Chen Hua, you summoned me to wait, what the plot is, you all know it, then you don't need to say anything about me, how Chen Zhi acts, you know best, do you dare to underestimate him?" Or rather, who are you to underestimate him? He is a general of the expedition to the north, and he has real power, and he is valued by the clan, do you dare to criticize him? ”

Chen Hua's face was ugly, his brows furrowed, and he said lightly: "I didn't see it in the past, you Chen Zi is actually a sycophant, but unfortunately what you say here, Chen Zhi can't even hear it." Moreover, he will soon be unable to protect himself, and after this tasting meeting, he will directly offend many academies, and the end will be worrying. ”

"Oh? Listening to the tone of your words, do you know something? Chen Zi didn't get angry at all, but laughed, "If you know anything, then you should tell the ancestor, his old man has already said that at this juncture, the family should work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

Chen Hua laughed: "Joke, this difficulty is what he found on himself, what does it have to do with us?" Why work with him? ”

Chen Zi shook his head and sighed: "You don't want to share the hardships with others, don't you just want to be rich and noble?" Is there such a good thing in the world? I'll tell you the truth, Chen Zhi sent someone to reveal his plans to the family a little, and the uncle had already acquiesced, this help Chen Zhi was inevitable, instead of connecting up and down here, it is better to think about how to assist, so that you have the same clan, what can you be a little grudge with Chen Zhi in the past? It will be good in the future. ”

Chen Hua frowned and wanted to say more, but Chen Zi simply got up, unwilling to stay any longer, turned around and left.

As he walked, he also said: "I thought that you had been dormant for these days, you were introspective, and suddenly gathered many brothers, what do you want to think, but I didn't expect to be so unable to see the situation clearly, it's really disappointing, I won't accompany you here, otherwise it will spread out and let Chen Zhi misunderstand, then it will be worth the loss." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd, and he did not say anything more, but walked away.

"Cowardly as a mouse! I was afraid of Chen Zhi! Chen Zhi is now unable to protect himself, can he still wait for me? ”

Looking at Chen Ziyuan's back, Chen Hua's heart was annoyed, his face turned red, and he felt that he was being underestimated, so he said some hard words, wanting to get back on the field.

But when the words fell, a few more people stood up and said to Chen Hua hesitantly: "Brother, I'm really sorry when I think I have something to do." The implication is to leave.

"You're going too?" Chen Hua's face changed immediately, but those people didn't care about anything else, said a few more words, and hurried away.

Looking at the backs of a few people who were far away, Chen Hua took a few breaths, his face was unhappy.

But what made him even more unacceptable was that then a few more people got up piecemeal, found various excuses, and left one by one, and in the end, only the four of them were still with Chen Hua.

In fact, this is not surprising, many of the children of the Chen family gathered here did not want to offend Chen Zhi, but because of Chen Hua's face, they had to come, and now Chen Zi took the lead, and the others seized the opportunity, how could they let it go, and they left one after another.

Of course, there are many people who are from the crowd, and they don't have any ideas, listening to what Chen Hua said makes sense, and then listening to what Chen Zi said, they also feel that it is very true, so in line with the idea of moderation, they also took advantage of the situation to leave.

"This group of people was confused by the situation in front of them, and their thoughts were confused by Chen Zi's words, and they had no foresight in doing things, so they were not enough to be with them."

The remaining four people, some of them said this, comforting Chen Hua.

Chen Hua gasped strongly, finally calmed down the unhappiness in his heart, and then reluctantly squeezed out a smile, smiled at the remaining four, and said again, but the situation in front of him no longer allowed him to have too many choices, and finally made a hasty decision.

A few of them didn't notice that just as they were talking, not far from here, in a corridor covered by tree branches, the servant Chen Yongzheng was standing in it, looking this way.

After almost three meetings in this party, Chen Yongcai shook his head and said to the steward waiting beside him: "Let Chen Hua and the four people go back, and they won't have to be reused in the future." ”

Chen Yong said lightly, but listening to the ears of the person in charge, it made his heart sink, and he couldn't help but say: "Young Master Hua is actually also thinking about the family, not for Young Master Zhi, and he is the handsome master of our Chen family, this ......"

"If it is the Chen family, then it does not distinguish between Pengcheng and Xiapi, what Chen Hua did, no matter what he thought, but at this juncture, do you really think that Chen Zhi falls, and the family can still be alone?"

When the steward heard this, he didn't dare to speak at all, but just nodded yes, and knew that his old lady was hard-hearted to support Chen Zhi, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, because what Chen Hua said was not useless, there was such a possibility, why did his own master insist on supporting Chen Zhi.

He didn't know that Chen Yong was thinking more.

"When Chen Zhi killed the little prince of the Huns, I found that this son acted extraordinary, and he may become a big weapon, but people can't see the rules, and it may also make the Chen family implicated, and everything does not seek merit but seeks no fault, so that he has the idea of stopping, but now that he has ascended to the official career, the situation is different, I believe that the Zhang family, the Xu family, even the Xun family, will not simply want to embarrass Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi is just a breakthrough, their real purpose is to use Chen Zhi as a breakthrough to attack me!"

After all, he is a veteran of officialdom, how Chen Yong can't see this truth, so no matter what Chen Zhi does, whether there is an order or not, at least at this stage, he Chen Yong must fully support Chen Zhi.

Chen Hua can't even see this, staying in Luoyang is also a disaster, maybe he will be used by political enemies, do you still keep him for the holidays? Of course, he sent him back as soon as possible, and he summoned his children to come over, not to make trouble for himself.

However, before the steward brought the news over, someone reported that Chen Zhi was here.

"It's just right to come, and the old man has something to ask him, so he will bring people to the main hall." With an order, Chen Yong turned around and went back.

Similarly, Chen Hua and the others also learned the news.

"I thought he should have come, too." Chen Hua was pretentious, and actually wanted to meet Chen Zhi in person, and brought the four people who followed him, "Don't feel reckless in this move, now go to Chen Zhi to confront him face to face, it will be beneficial to the entire family, and you can expose his lies face to face!" ”

Although the other four were a little hesitant, the matter had come to this point, and they had already opened their bows and had no turning back, and they all agreed.

But things didn't go as smoothly as they thought, when Chen Hua brought people over, he couldn't even touch the main hall, and he was stopped by the steward and people, and then he received a piece of news that made him a little difficult to accept-

"What? What does that mean? Don't let me pass? Could it be that he is different from us? What can he do, we can't even get together? ”

The steward just laughed, but he knew very well in his heart that Chen Hua really couldn't figure out his catties, how could he be compared with Chen Zhi?

However, he didn't dare to say this, and even the news that Chen Yong sent the five of them away did not reveal it for the time being, otherwise depending on Chen Hua's current appearance, something might have happened.

Just when Chen Hua was blocked, Chen Zhi had already seen Chen Yong in the main hall, and Chen Zi was accompanying him.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yong nodded and said, "Shouyi, since you have made your plans clear, then the family will do their best to help, so I will send someone out to add fuel to the rumors outside." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

After Chen Zhi thanked him, Chen Yong asked again: "Then in the next month, you will mainly contact Da Honglu?" Then I want to remind you, that Dahonglu Zhao Min is not a good person, you should pay more attention to everything, and come to me to discuss anything more. ”

"Keep one in mind." Chen Zhi nodded, and suddenly the conversation changed, "In addition, there is one more thing to clarify with my uncle, in this month, I will invite everyone from all walks of life in Luoyang, and I will dabble in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I must make some preparations in advance." ”

Chen Yong was slightly stunned, and then said: "It seems that you really have a lot of plans, but do you want the old man to use his connections to help you get in touch?" ”

Chen Zhi shook his head, but said: "It's not like that, but there are many piano scores, music scores, and many things in the house, I want to come here and practice often." ”

"What?" Chen Yong's face was stunned, he really didn't expect Chen Zhi to make such a request, "Are you going to practice music here?" How does this relate to inviting all parties? ”

Chen Zhi said: "Those people are not easy to convince people, besides, there are people interfering behind this, so you have to prepare." ”

Time passed, and seven days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Luoyang, Luo's family, outside Luo Xun's house, on the verandah, there were two young men in Tsing Yi talking in a low voice.

"Did you hear, yesterday there were many people visiting Zuo Lian's house, and some of them moved all the way from Jingzhou to let him taste the article."

"But isn't it, it's only been a few days, I heard that in front of the Zuo family, there is an endless flow of people every day, and many people are admiring it, and they want him to give a review, it's really amazing."

"Is this bizarre, you say? Although Zuo Lian is also a famous scholar in Luoyang, the article is famous, but a lot of fame is based on the shadow of the ancestors, if it is about the article, where can it be compared to our master, but now these people recognize him, originally there were people who came to our house in three or two days, and wanted to let the master taste, but now it is good, and they all rushed to other homes. ”

"I heard that the reason why this is the case is because of the Taile Department's appraisal meeting, which has been spread in the city, saying that this appraisal can rank first in the article, and the five of them are the top in the world, even the emperor recognizes them, and the court is behind them, if they can get any of the five of them to evaluate, they can double their value, and the comments they get are even more questionable!"

"I've heard of this, in fact, I haven't said something, the reason why I think it's bizarre, or Zuo Lian's original reputation is not as good as our master, but compared to Zuo Lian, the other four people's homes, it is even more extraordinary, in front of the ancient master's house, there has already been a long queue, all the way to the alley, and I can't persuade you to leave!"

"Who said it wasn't, alas, what a pity, if our master had accepted the invitation of the Taile Ling, our family would have been majestic now."

A little guy here was still muttering, and suddenly saw his companion opposite, squeezing his eyebrows at him, this heart suddenly suddenly, his face immediately changed, and when he turned his head, he saw Luo Xun with a gloomy face standing behind him.

"Sir!"

The little servant's leather drum seemed to be equipped with a spring, and he bounced up from his seat at once, and then quickly accused, feeling worried, this is behind the criticism of his own master, but it is not a small crime, if he is really investigated, it is enough for him to be sent to the fields outside the city, that compared with the servants in the inner house, this treatment is a world of difference.

His worry is not groundless, because inside and outside this mansion, who doesn't know that his master has changed his mood since he heard the news of those five people a few days ago, and anyone can see the unhappiness.

Subsequently, if someone in this mansion accidentally mentioned terms such as the tasting meeting, the five masters and the two academies, they would make the old man unhappy, and at least they would just rebuke them with their eyes, and even directly reprimand them at worst.

However, this time the situation has improved, when the words of the little guy were heard by Luo Xun, Luo Xun's eyes suddenly became more vicious, but he didn't say anything, just left a sentence, called the eldest young master over, and then went back to the house without saying a word.

The little guy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the verandah, but the companion next to him prompted: "Why don't you hurry up and inform the eldest young master, do you still want to be scolded?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The little guy hurriedly got up, stumbled out, and went over to inform.
