Chapter 54: Planning

Chen Chi also saw it, and agreed to the previous requests, and the later things might as well be more than Chen Zhi's intentions, so he said, "What's the matter?" You and I are a family, and I will naturally help if I can, no need to ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Chen Zhi said: "The little nephew wants to invite a guard from the Chen Mansion with a relatively loud voice, and he will be in Shulinzhai for two or three days, and I already know what happened last night, I am worried that after the reputation spreads, it will attract some people to harass me, and it is more convenient to have a guard." ”

"Yes, it doesn't take two or three days, just let people listen to your orders first, and then come back when the limelight passes, Chen Yi, wait for you to choose a nurse, explain it clearly, and let him obey the orders of the seventh young master in everything." Chen Chi waved his hand, and then ordered the chief steward to settle the matter.

This is not a difficult matter, although the Chen family has declined, there are still a few nursing homes, which is much simpler than transferring soap subordinates, and Chen Chi is also happy to make it convenient for Chen Zhixing.

Then Chen Chi asked Chen Zhi's opinion again: "If it is confirmed that this Xu Fang is a traitor, what should be done?" ”

Chen Zhi had already read the law thoroughly, and said without thinking: "Bullying the master with slaves, plotting against the wrongdoing, cutting off the left and right toes after slashing according to the law, if the arson is true, it is intended to murder the master's family, go directly to the official mansion, and abandon the city!" He was quite wary of this person, not to mention anything else, it was the arson, if it wasn't for the particularity of the side effects of the lottery, then Chen Xi, Chen Man, and Aunt Liu would definitely be buried in the fire. can do this kind of thing, it can be seen that Xu Fang has no bottom line in doing things, and some go beyond simple obedience to orders, of course Chen Zhi will not let this person go.

Chen Chi nodded, his expression became serious, and said: "You already know the law very well, and when Xu Fang's results come out, you will report it to the government, but this is his own fault, and it is not a reward for you, and you can ask for it again at that time." "In the cognition of this era, the people in the house are considered to be raised by the master's family, and they are in charge of food and housing, but you also bully the master's family, and the real kindness will be revenge, which is a very big crime, and it is taboo by the major families.

Chen Zhi thanked him again, and then said: "There is another thing, the weather is cold at the end of the year, and there are calligraphy and paintings in the book, so it is inconvenient to place the stove, so it is cold in the house. ”

"It's the way it should be, but I was negligent." Chen Chi nodded in agreement.

After a few words of greetings, the servant was called back, Chen Chi hesitated for a moment, and then revealed: "The main thing at the moment is to study, I just received the news, saying that the nobles have entered the territory of Xuzhou, and they are staying in the county to rest, and the county guard invites each family to go over to see the ceremony first, and I am also in the column, I will leave in these two days, I will go, and I will return with the nobles in a few days, and I will work hard in the days when I am not at home, and if you need anything, you will say to the house, Chen Yi, remember my words, and there will be a need in the future." , first supplied. ”

The chief steward hurriedly responded, and when he straightened up, along with him, the servants in the room looked at Chen Zhi with completely different eyes.

"Uncle Xie cares." Chen Zhi said thank you, his heart moved, and he asked casually, "I don't know if the third elder Xu Gong is also going to greet the nobles?" ”

Chen Chi shook his head and said: "The position of the third elder of Duke Xu is inconvenient to pass, this time only I and other big clans will send people over, but there are at most two people in a family, and there is only one person in my Chen family." When the words fell, Chen Bian on the side showed a look of regret.

Chen Chi smiled again: "However, I will bring the "Huayuan Pavilion Treatise" you wrote over and invite others to taste it, this time it is said to welcome nobles, but the families in Xuzhou have sent people over, this is a great opportunity to show, just for you to make a name." Next, he gave a few more words of encouragement.

After a few words, Chen Bian said that he was going to contact You, Chen Zhi took the opportunity to leave and retreat to study, there were still a few Legalist books waiting for him in the library, but as he walked, he shook his head silently.

"The problem of lack of manpower must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too inconvenient for the Chen Fu tribe to send manpower for everything." Thinking about it, the person has already arrived at the library.

Over there, the little scholar Chen Wu also left the residence under the envious eyes of everyone and went to the library to serve, especially dedicated and respectful.

Outside, Chen Jue, surrounded by many servants and servants, told the story of his "discerning talents", which attracted bursts of praise from time to time, and he was also satisfied, but it also made others work hard and prepared to compete for the position of Chen Zhi's henchman.

Chen Chi, the uncle of the Chen Mansion, was busy with family affairs and prepared to welcome the nobles; Chen Bian hurriedly went out to contact, and while walking, he was still thinking about what kind of plaque he would ask Chen Zhi to write for him.

The entire Chen Mansion was running in an orderly manner, and during this period, the long sword mentioned by Chen Chi was also sent to the Library.

It seems like another calm day.

But in the afternoon of the same day, Chen Bian contacted You, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, he received a message.

"There is really a problem with this Xu Fang, I only contacted a good person in the morning, and this afternoon there is news that he colluded with the scoundrel leader and visited Bai Qing, he is too restless, what is the purpose, I don't know, Chen Zhizhen didn't wronged him!"

Looking at the note, Chen Bian suddenly felt that Chen Zhi was a little unfathomable.

"This is the ability to plan, underestimate him, really underestimate him, not only outstanding calligraphy, but also the ability to plan, what kind of absurdity is this, it is clearly wise and foolish, my Chen family may be hopeful!"

Thinking about it, he called someone to come, handed over the note, and instructed: "Send it to the ancestral house library and show it to Zhi'er." ”

"Order!" When the man heard this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "In the past two days, the second master has been screaming, and those who don't know really think that he and the seventh young master are very friendly." ”

Chen Bian naturally didn't know the thoughts in the stomach of the person opposite, and as soon as the people left, he thought about it again.

"Xu Fang went to find Bai Qing, did he get Chen Yun's orders? If he ordered it, then this chess piece would not be able to be used, and it would be impossible to distinguish the importance at all, and it would be a disaster to keep it. Using Xu Fang's matter, take out Chen Yun by taking advantage of the situation, and save the future from having extraneous branches, Xu Fang framed the master as a slave, and he could be executed with a little crime, after all, the slave is in the Chen Mansion, and others have no way to put their beaks, but I don't know when Chen Zhi plans to kill him, and I don't want to act as a substitute. ”

After thinking about it, Chen Bian thought of other aspects.

"In addition, this Bai Qing's matter has to be taken into account, the Bai family has been very powerful in the past two years, there are signs of entering the product, most of the gambling debts owed by Chen Zhi are in the gambling house under his name, should I help Chen Zhi pay it back?"

But soon, he himself shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm also confused, Chen Zhicai sent six taels of silver, there must be more taels of silver in my hand, if I go to help again, it will be a bit of a mess, maybe it will be self-defeating." ”

………………

There is a pavilion in the corner of Pengcheng, the name is Qingyuanzhuang, it is called Zhuang, it is actually a pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, wooden pavilions layer by layer, eaves hanging lanterns, inside and outside are covered with courtyards, there are many people who look depressed and wander around the pavilions.

At this time, in that building, there was a person leaning on a chair and said with a smile: "Xu Fang, come to me at this time, won't it be because of Chen Zhi's matter?" ”

This man was tall, draped in a big hat, with a Chinese face and a thick beard.

He is Bai Qing, rich in Pengcheng.

Standing in front of Bai Qing was Xu Fang, and when he saw him smiling, he arched his hand and said, "Master Bai, you are really like a god, it is precisely because of Chen Zhi." ”

"Then there is no need to continue to say this," Bai Qing squinted slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Bai Mouzi also has some sources, and I have also heard of the news of the dinner in Zhangfu, this Chen family is a big showman, even the Peng family's Peng Lin's words have been compared to him, it can be seen that he is a calligrapher's seed, and in two years eight achievements will be named Yangzhou County, such a person, why am I an enemy of him?" ”

He was originally lying reclining, but when he said this, he straightened up, his eagle-like gaze fell on Xu Fang, forming a pressure, and his mouth continued: "Chen Zhi is such a character, not to mention that he will have prosperous official fortunes in the future, but it is still possible to become a celebrity, I don't want to make friends, you still want me to embarrass him, no matter what he says, he is a family, you are a slave, and you also want to use Bai?" ”

This was said very politely, which made Xu Fang's smile stiffen, but he followed his spit and laughed again, from Bai Qing's words, Xu Fang had already judged that this landlord was limited to the circle and status, and did not get accurate information, and did not have an accurate understanding of how good Chen Zhi's words were.

This opportunity is very rare, and Xu Fang knows that he must seize it and settle the matter.

So he bowed over, and then said: "Master Bai, you have already done it before, and you have forced Chen Zhi to repay the money many times, with my understanding of this son, he must hate you, master, so he simply subdued him this time, and when he sees you in the future, he will take a detour, otherwise when he gets up, the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

"Hahaha!" Bai Qing raised his head and laughed, then shook his head, "I asked people to force Chen to stop it, but he took the initiative to send someone to sign that contract, besides, it's a big deal to send some money to help him repair the house, can people still get along with silver?" When you came here before, I made it very clear, after this incident, you and I have a clear relationship, why are you still using this to squeeze me? Do you really think that if I say a few kind words, you will be treated as a brother? Joke, what is your identity? I call you a brother and a brother, because I look at the face of the Cao Gang leader, not to look up to you! ”

Xu Fang's face was blue and white for a while, he was extremely embarrassed, he frowned, his arrogance surged, he opened his mouth to speak, and seemed to want to break out, but he didn't break out after all, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said stiffly: "This matter, is Master Bai unwilling to help?" As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve.
