Although there were a few twists and turns on the way, under the command of Chen Zhi, the group still arrived at Chen's mansion without danger, and the moment they walked into the backyard, whether it was Chen Ting, Aunt Liu, or those family members, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's so dangerous, if it weren't for Young Master Zhi's prediction of those people in advance, he would have been caught just now."

Although this incident was caused by Chen Zhi, but Jia Ding, as a subsidiary, has a different education since childhood, and the way of thinking is very different from that of an independent free person, although the idea of harming the pond fish is there, but it is not strong in the end, plus Chen Zhi commanded Ruo Ding along the way, whether it was when he chose the road, or when he was almost found, his face was as usual, and this kind of bearing also made several Jia Ding inexplicably in awe.

If it weren't for the fact that "Chen Zhi's" reputation in the past was too unbearable, these family members would probably have broken their hearts.

Even so, under the leadership of the family named Chen Jue, several family members still respectfully said goodbye to Chen Zhi before going back to resume their lives, which was very different from the previous attitude of those servants and maids towards Chen Zhi like a plague god.

"Young Master Zhi, I'm going to go to the master's house to recover my life first, so I'll leave first."

Here, after Chen Jue and the others resigned from Chen Zhi, they went back to the backyard and told the steward that they wanted to narrate the whole process.

There is a chief steward in the ancestral house of the Chen Mansion, and there are three small stewards below, this person is one of them, named Chen Yue, he didn't wait for Chen Jue to finish speaking, he frowned: "Chen Zhi is causing trouble again?" It's really non-stop, and I don't know how such a person is valued by the three elders, shouldn't he have used any shady means? Okay, I know everything, let's go and give the eldest master a life, Chen Jue, you take someone to rest for a while, and you will entertain the guests later. ”

Chen Jue heard Chen Yue's complaints, and he wanted to stop talking, and he wanted to help Chen Zhi distinguish a sentence or two, but in the end he still couldn't say it, because the reputation of this "Young Master Zhi" was really unbearable in the entire Chen Mansion, and he couldn't offend people for him.

"However, just the young master's bearing just now, it is definitely not a fake, no wonder it will be valued by the three elders, I may be able to do something in the future, and I will be free in the future, should I flatter and flatter?" The family also has its own way of dealing with the world, has its own survival pressure, and faces a lot of competition, those who have ideals will struggle, and betting on the future is a way.

Chen Jue discovered Chen Zhi's potential, of course he would have ideas, but how to do it was also a knowledge, he was ready to make a plan, to ensure that he could flatter Chen Zhi, and not let himself fall too deep, in case there was a wind and grass momentum to withdraw in time.

Not to mention Chen Jue's plans, after saying goodbye to a few family members, Chen Zhi asked Chen Zhi to contact the Chen family, because he himself had just been released from confinement, and Chen Chi had not let go of his mouth to see him, so it was not good to walk around directly.

The rest of the people found a room to rest, and if such a big thing happened at home, the Chen Mansion would not force them to go to the mourning hall, but Chen Xi and Chen Fu were nervous, and they didn't know what Chen Chi would do.

It's Chen Zhi, or the old god is there, and he seems to be closing his eyes to recuperate.

Looking at him like this, Chen Xi, Chen Fu, together with Chen Man and Aunt Liu, were faintly stable, which was also the effect of commanding and Chen Zhiruo when he was transferred just now.

Invisibly, he became the backbone of the group.

However, Chen Xi couldn't have known that Chen Zhi was silently observing the lottery in his heart at this time.

"Two points of fame gold liquid have been added, probably because Chen Fu hyped it up when he sent the money, so that many people knew that there was fame gold liquid in the account, but the color was muddy, I am afraid that it is not a good reputation, this kind of reputation is relatively poor, and it often does half the work."

Chen Zhi is powerless to reverse these for the time being, and can only adjust slowly in the future.

After the time of a stick of incense, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Chen stopped pushing open the door and walked in.

"Second brother, how's it going?" Chen Xi immediately couldn't sit still.

Chen stopped with a wry smile: "The uncle didn't say what to do, nor did he mention the rebuilding of the house, but just asked the eldest brother to see him." ”

"Didn't you tell us where to settle down?" Chen Fu was a little disappointed, but his spirit was immediately shocked, "I am willing to see the eldest young master, this is also a good thing, eldest young master, don't talk nonsense later, it is better to let the second young master ......" He habitually wanted to admonish two sentences, and immediately thought of Chen Zhi's recent performance, and hesitated a little.

On the other side, Chen Zhu said first: "Uncle let the eldest brother go by himself, and no one else is allowed to follow." ”

"This ......" Chen Fu became worried again, "Could it be that the debt collector's business makes the eldest master unhappy, and he wants to punish the young master?" It didn't take long for this punishment to be lifted......"

"Uncle Fu, don't worry too much, since the uncle can see me, there will be no problem," Chen Zhi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Besides, the uncle is the head of the family, who can object to the decision he makes?" It's useless to think too much. Dingya, you take care of it here, I'll go over first. ”

"Dingye" is Chen Zhu's word, his age is not yet the time to take the word, but his father Chen Mai died in advance, and he is often called by words in private.

"Big brother, don't worry." Chen Zhi nodded, and a room of people watched Chen Zhi leave, each with their own thoughts, but they were still worried.

Chen Zhi was led by a domestic servant to a side courtyard in the backyard.

Chen Chi, the eldest of the Chen family, was resting inside, he was busy inside and outside these days, so he specially chose such a secluded place to rest.

When Chen Zhi walked into the courtyard room, he saw Chen Chi with a Chinese face holding a cup of tea and drinking it lightly.

Chen Chi was wearing filial piety clothes, and he still had a bearing of not being angry and arrogant, and he was not kneeling, but sitting on a chair - at this time, it was also called a Hu chair, and it was generally not used on formal occasions, but it had long been popular among the big families, and he mostly sat on a chair in private.

"I've seen Uncle." Retracting his gaze, Chen Zhi bowed.

"Here, sit down first." Chen Chi put down the cup and pointed to the side.

Chen Zhi groaned for a while, and sat down politely.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Chi stopped talking, but looked at him as if he had seen Chen Zhi for the first time.

Chen Chi's gaze did not have an aggressive taste, it was quite peaceful, but it also had an air of scrutiny, which made people feel pressured, but his reaction made Chen Zhi a little surprised, after all, the matter is not small, plus the turmoil a while ago, it stands to reason that he should be furious, but Chen Chi is full of joy and anger.

"It's not easy."

gave an evaluation in his heart, after all, Chen Zhi has experienced a lot, and he has died, so he is naturally calm.

After a few breaths, Chen Chi nodded, and then said, "It's different." ”

These words made Chen Zhi's heart sink, realizing that his performance might make Chen Chi see that something was wrong, and he was thinking about whether to imitate the reaction of his predecessor Chen Zhi, but Chen Chi said again: "You had amazing words when you were young, which surprised me greatly, but unfortunately you have become more and more stubborn over the years, and I have no hope, but Xu Gong is very optimistic about you, I know what you answered Xu Gong, it is very decent, it is heartfelt, if you can change the evil and return to the right from now on, it is also a good talk, but everything pays attention to a rule, The farce on the mourning hall cannot be easily overturned, but for the sake of the screening of the scholars, you can postpone it first, if you can win glory for the family, I can make the decision and not blame the past, otherwise I will not be able to convince the public. ”

After beating two sentences, Chen Chi changed his words: "However, you really don't make people worry, and now you are causing new trouble, tell me about your plans, I said ugly things in front, the clan will postpone your punishment, it's already open, don't ask too much." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this, Chen Chi's words did not mean much blame, they were different from what he expected, but after thinking about it slightly, he knew what the reason was.

Social.

Chen Chi's words reflect the social atmosphere at this time.

At this time, how a person's behavior is evaluated is often not the result, but the person's reputation, identity, background, and the "prophecy" of some celebrities and scholars about this person, which has begun to emerge at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and is now thriving.

Xu Zhi's optimism had a much greater impact on Chen Zhi than he had expected.

"The amazing words of my predecessor Chen Zhi when he was young, didn't he like to talk big when he was a child? It's a pity that he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it later, and these became black history, but if he can change his evil and return to the right, isn't it 'beautiful talk'? ”

This kind of thing is not uncommon, just like the founding king of the new Han Dynasty, Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei, when he was young, he pointed to the mulberry tree in front of his house and said that he would grow up to take a feather bao covered car, if he knitted straw shoes all his life, then this would become a joke, and as a result, this imperial uncle later achieved hegemony, and others would think that this was extraordinary since childhood.

Knowing this, Chen Zhi got up and said, "Uncle, after the little nephew plans to settle down his family, he will study diligently in the library to consolidate his knowledge, and then take the time to consult Xu Gong for future screening." ”

"Well, this is as it should be," Chen Chi nodded, and shook his head again, "It's not easy to settle the family, the people below you also said that the house burned down and the building was restarted, it would cost a lot of money, plus those ridiculous things, I'm afraid I won't even dare to go back to the house in a short time, what to settle down?" As I have already said, the clan has already opened up to you, and no matter how much you have, don't ask for help. ”

How to settle down, Chen Zhi already has a plan, but there is some trouble, and it will take time, in his mind, if the Chen Mansion can give some help, it will undoubtedly save a lot of twists and turns, but he also knows that the Chen family is willing to help this kind of thing, and there is nothing to blame if he is unwilling, just act according to the original plan.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Zhi asked tentatively: "Can I let a few members of my family temporarily live in the mansion or another courtyard, of course, now my grandfather's white affairs are important, everything is complicated, if there is any inconvenience, the little nephew will find another way." ”

"It's definitely not okay to live in the house temporarily, this involves a lot, not to mention that you can also understand, as for the other courtyard, other distant relatives are coming one after another these days, and you must always leave some places for emergencies," Chen Chi seemed to be refusing, but without waiting for Chen Zhi to say more, he changed the conversation, "But there is still a place at home, just for you to live temporarily, that place is located in the downtown area, if you use it properly, you can even use this to make some money to supplement your home and solve your urgent needs." ”

"A temporary place to stay in the middle of the city? And this kind of place? ”

Chen Zhi thought about it and understood, knowing that the place Chen Chi said was not a house but a store, that is, a place to do business.

"I made a bet with my second brother," Chen Chi said suddenly, then took out a piece of paper from his side and handed it over, "After the news of the debt collector came, many clansmen found him and asked him to come forward to warn you, but the second brother found me first and expressed his attitude, saying that it is best not to ask about your affairs at home, so as not to involve too deeply, outsiders misunderstand, and ruin the reputation of the Chen family, but after discussion, I still decided to give you another chance." ”

Chen Zhi took the paper, frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the news that the house is on fire and the creditor comes to the door makes Chen Bian move; Thinking? If this is the case, then this person is not worried about swaying towards Qin Duchu. But listening to Chen Chi's meaning, it is also possible that Chen Bian wants to give an explanation to his subordinates and nephews, he is also a big force in the clan, representing the interests of many people, even if he wants to ease the conflict with me, he must have an explanation, otherwise the people below are not convinced, and the power is basically unstable. ”

Power, power, in the final analysis, is still the control of people, only by leading people's hearts at all times, can we sit firmly.

When the thought fell, Chen Zhi glanced at the words on the paper, and suddenly understood the bet.

It is not uncommon to make a bet and be willing to gamble and lose, which is very popular among celebrities and clans today.

"This said, let me run my own shop without relying on my family, and pay the rent on time every month? If not, take it back. ”

"Don't think that the business of letting you do business is bad for your identity, businessmen are certainly despised, but you are temporary, and the business shop is not a copper smell, in the past, it was a painting and calligraphy, not a cross of the line, maybe it will become an anecdote in the future," Chen Chi misunderstood Chen Zhi's expression, "You have really made a lot of trouble recently, several branches have opinions, the family can't help you for no reason, that can only harm you, since Xu Gong values you, then you have to at least show some ability." ”

In this era, there is a loose atmosphere, and there is also inclusiveness for a specific commodity economy.

Seeing Chen Zhi's calm expression, Chen Chi said again: "This is also a test for you, although the quota for participating in the selection of the book is not precious, but it is also rare, because Xu Gong gave you a word, it is inevitable that some people will not be convinced, maybe there will be waves, you promise this bet, you can save a lot of trouble, and it will not last long before and after, if you can enter Guijing, you will naturally have no worries from now on, if you want, sign your name." He waved his hand, and a servant offered him pen and ink.

Chen Chi knows a little about this nephew's temperament, there is a way that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and he looks at it, but he is not at ease. This bet is also his intention to sharpen Chen Zhi's temperament, hoping that Chen Zhi can really turn back as a prodigal son and be the second in the week.

Seeing that Chen Zhi didn't reply, Chen Chi was waiting to persuade him again, but he didn't expect Sun Dao to laugh, grab the brush, and write his name on the way.

Chen Chi looked down and saw the word "Chen Zhi", and his eyes suddenly lit up.

These two words are short and long, and the thickness is compromised, and there is a faint sense of dust.

"Good word!"
