Chapter 353: One Chen Returns Home, One Chen Fake Tiger
"The virtuous nephew is coming from afar, so let's rest in the mansion first, your brother has often come here to practice music and rhythm in recent days, and when he arrives, you just want to talk about brotherhood. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Chen Luo entered Chen Yong's mansion, he heard his nominal clan uncle say this with a cordial face.
It has been more than an hour since Chen Luo arrived at Baijia Tea Shop, but for their group, the change in this hour is extremely long, and the treatment before and after can be said to be very different.
There are several reasons for this.
Chen Luo arrived at the Baijia Tea Shop, first heard that Chen Zhi won Zhao Yuan, and then lost the music, these two people one to Danqing, the other to the music rhythm, are not Chen Zhi's opponents, and then as everyone expected, no one mentioned the competition, the more than 60 scholars who were invited, all agreed to Chen Zhi's invitation, and in the following time, they served as the tasters of several tasting meetings, including literary reviews.
When the news came, there was another uproar.
You know, this is sixty people, even if it involves many fields, but the number is enough, Chen Zhi invited them over and persuaded them all, it was impossible, because some people would not express their position easily, even if they had a tendency in their hearts, they would weigh the pros and cons, delay for a while in the name of consideration, and wait until the time is up, and then make a final decision-
After all, even if they didn't care about the attitude of the government, they had to consider the real threat of the Zhang, Xu, and Xun families.
But Zhao Yuan's proposal and Leqi's promotion made Chen Zhi show amazing ability, which not only made Leqi speechless, but also showed Chen Zhi's own value and talent, coupled with the efforts of the servant Chen Yong behind his back and in the court, forcing the three families to temporarily retreat.
In this way, everyone who should have swayed and considered it, in a special atmosphere, even agreed.
Those who were sent by the Xu family and the Zhang family to wait for the opportunity to make trouble, that is, Le Qi and others, because what they said in advance was too dead, there could be no more changes, otherwise their reputation would be ruined, so they had to agree hard.
In the same way, although others did not say such things like them, they were also restricted and had to be wary.
The combination of these reasons finally led to the fact that sixty people agreed to Chen Zhi's invitation at the same time, which is spectacular.
The message is clear, and the tea shop is boiling.
The change before and after lasted for more than an hour.
Chen Luo and the boiling crowd rejoiced together, accepted everyone's congratulations, talked with people, and everyone was polite to him, just when the person sent by Chen Yong's mansion came over, that is, Chen Yong's nephew, Chen Luo's uncle, named Chen Xi, is about the same age as Chen Zhi, but the seniority is higher.
However, Chen Xi did not have any consciousness as an elder, and after meeting Chen Luo, although he maintained etiquette, the faint flattering taste could even be felt by Chen Luo, and he was very useful in his heart.
In previous years, Pengcheng Chen's met Xiapi Chen, and he was always inferior, if he saw a proud child like Chen Hua, he would be humiliated by him, and he should not speak out.
But since the beginning of this year, Pengcheng Chen's eyebrows have been raised, so that Chen Luo can raise his head in the face of the elders in Xiapi, but he also knows very well that Chen Xi's respect is actually not aimed at himself, but from Chen Zhi behind him, so he did not forget his form and still kept the courtesy of the juniors.
Chen Luo first said goodbye to the few scholars he had just met, and then followed Chen Xi out of the tea shop, and when he arrived at Chen Yong's mansion, Chen Xi revealed the meaning of letting Chen Luo live here temporarily.
Chen Luo was puzzled, according to his original idea, that is, to live temporarily, he should also live in his seventh brother's mansion, but he had heard from the people in the tea shop that Chen Zhi also had a mansion in the city, and there was more than one - one was lent to him by Chen Yong, and the other was the official residence given by the imperial court according to the rank and authority of officials.
Two mansions, can't you live in Chen Luo? After all, Chen Zhi has no female dependents now, and there is not much inconvenience.
So, this Chen Luo subconsciously wanted to refuse, firstly, he was still subconsciously resistant to Xiapi Chen, and secondly, he wanted to get close to Seventh Brother.
But before he could speak, there was someone behind him who decided for him first, but it was Chen Xun who sent him to assist his son's steward.
"In this way, thank you Master Xi, my young master will live in the mansion first, and he happens to be close to all the masters and young masters, and sometimes he can listen to the teachings of the servants."
When Chen Luo heard this, his brows furrowed, and he immediately stretched out again, he also figured it out, no matter what, Chen Yong is a servant, one of the princes, if he can have a good relationship with this old gentleman, there are many benefits.
Moreover, the steward behind him is not considered to be self-assertive, because Chen Luo was a gentleman in the past, and he was the second son, Chen Xun did not cultivate him as an heir, so he didn't understand a lot of the truth of the exchanges, because of the relationship with Chen Zhi, he was able to go into battle, and he came to Luoyang in the west, and he needed the help of others, this steward followed Chen Xun for a long time, and he was a right-hand man-like figure, even the respect of Young Master Chen Luo had to be called "uncle", this person came over to give him guidance and avoid mistakes, Chen Luo did not refute, nodded and responded.
Chen Xi suddenly put his mind at ease and continued to lead Chen Luo inside, laughing as he walked.
When I entered the house, I was greeted by a group of people coming over, with large bags and small bags, in a hurry.
When Chen Luo saw this posture, he thought that when he entered the door just now, he saw a few carriages outside the door, and asked guessingly, "Is this someone going out of the house?" ”
As he spoke, he stared forward and saw clearly the identity of the person who came, who was the person at the head, who was it if it was not Chen Hua?
This outstanding son of the Chen family and a famous man in the world left a deep impression on Chen Luo.
After the New Year, when the Chen family on both sides congratulated each other, how arrogant and arrogant, no one in Pengcheng, young or old, was taken into his eyes.
Chen Luo once had a quarrel with him, and they had a bad feeling for each other, and finally Chen Hua was defeated by Chen Zhi and left Pengcheng in a gloomy manner, Chen Luo also gave him a painting written by Chen Zhi halfway, and he ridiculed the other party, and the word is now hanging in Chen Luo's house, but whenever a friend comes to visit, he will point to the word plaque and tell about it.
Such a person, reappearing in front of him, how could Chen Luo give him a good face? When he said the words, he unconsciously carried a trace of yin and yang: "Who is my Dao, isn't this Xiapi Chen Hua?" Why are you in a hurry? ”
Chen Xi observed his words and looked at his expression, noticed the subtle change in Chen Luo's tone, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Virtuous nephew recognizes Chen Hua? He, I don't know how high the sky is, I called on the brothers in the clan before, and I had the intention to be unfavorable to Taile Ling, but my clan uncle knew about it, ordered him to think about it behind closed doors, and then let him return home. ”
"So that's the case, this person really harbors evil intentions, and he is not honest to this day!" Chen Luo sneered, and was a little dissatisfied, "My seventh brother, what kind of character, many gentlemen in the hundred tea shops, there is no one who is not admired, even more than sixty people want to give face to the seventh brother, he Chen Hua is a small white body, and he dares to make a bad thing behind his back?" I don't know whether to live or die, and I should be punished, but my uncle is kind-hearted in the end, and he only let him go back to Xiapi, which is inevitably a little cheaper for him. The words were hateful, quite incomprehensible.
Chen Xi said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you don't understand our rules, the clan uncle called on the clan to come to Luoyang, just to carry it, as long as it can take root, the future will rise step by step, he Chen Hua was driven away halfway, it shows the attitude of the clan uncle, even if he returns to Xiapi, others also know that he is evil to the servant, and it is natural to be snubbed, not to mention, without the support of the servant and the Taile Ling, how can my Chen family children stand firm, even if they are talented, they have to do half the work, after all, not everyone has the talent of Taile Ling, Others are on the rise, how can Chen Hua catch up? Wouldn't it be the greatest punishment for a scholar to make it difficult for him to move forward in the future? ”
Chen Luo savored a few breaths, immediately laughed, pointed at Chen Xi and said something that made the latter's expression stiff: "In the end, you are a learned person, there are a lot of flowers, you are really bad!" ”
"Ahem, ahem!" The steward in the back suddenly coughed and reminded Chen Luoxiu to talk nonsense, but because Chen Luo said too quickly and suddenly, he didn't have time to stop it, and at the same time, he also knew in his heart that once Chen Luo felt that someone was close, he would be open-mouthed.
Chen Xun said before that Chen Luo's unobstructed fault did not change, and his achievements were limited, because he did not regard others as successors, if it weren't for Chen Zhi's sudden rise and Chen Luo's closeness, this errand would not have been his turn.
In the coughing sound of the steward, Chen Hua also saw Chen Luo, his face was even more ugly, but he didn't speak, but snorted coldly, quickened his pace, and seemed to be going to leave directly.
But he ignored Chen Luo, how could Chen Luo let go of this opportunity to ridicule him?
"Isn't this Brother Chen Hua? Why, where has my brother been named recently? But there is another big name? ”
Hearing Chen Luo's voice, Chen Hua stopped and looked at the sound, as soon as he saw the fat face, he suddenly had a toothache, and anger welled up in his heart, and he clearly remembered that on the way out of Pengcheng, he was stopped by this person, and the words in front of him -
Celebrities and celebrities such as Chen Hua are not up to the name!
This incident was regarded by Chen Hua as a great shame, and it was difficult to forget at all, so that this time he would instigate the clansmen and want to stab Chen Zhi in the back, which was also based on such thoughts, but just now the news came, knowing that more than 60 people were invited by Chen Zhi, Chen Hua's hands and feet were suddenly cold, knowing that the general trend was difficult to turn, and he no longer used excuses to delay, and he was disheartened and wanted to return to his hometown.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Chen Luo.
"Chen Zhi is just that, Chen Zhi's talent and learning even my teacher has to retreat, and more than 60 people have to look sideways, so this loss to Chen Zhi is not wronged, I just can't be angry with his judgment of me at the beginning, but what kind of thing is he Chen Luo? Waste, fox fake tiger Will, Ann dare to bully me!? I'm going to make him look good today! ”
In anger, he took a few steps forward and was about to speak, but suddenly a small group rushed over, saw Chen Luo and Chen Hua, and shouted: "Two gentlemen, prepare quickly, there are distinguished guests tonight, and the old lady asked you to prepare early." ”
