As soon as breakfast passed, Zhang Ju arrived at the palace.

The old lady has been very sad these days, and she was even more troubled by the thieves in the house yesterday, and on ......the way, Chen He first asked tentatively.

"I was about to tell my aunt," raised his eyebrows slightly, "you said that the palace was robbed?" ”

Chen He's face remained unchanged, and he only said: "You have to ask in person, the villain is really not good to say." ”

Zhang Judeng extinguished the idea of inquiry, and instead asked his aunt what else she was worried about recently.

Chen He only then talked about the article.

Zhang Ju said: "I have a friend who likes this article very much, and he discussed and commented on it at my home a few days ago. ”

"That's good, wait for the gentleman to talk to the old lady. ”

"Thank you Brother Chen for your advice, I have some new good tea, I will send it to you in a few days, and you will give you a review. ”

"Well said, well said. ”

While talking, the two came to the hall of the back house, raised their clothes, and entered to salute.

"My own family, I'm always so polite," Chen's mother pointed to the side and asked Zhang Ju to take a seat.

Zhang sat down on his knees after the ceremony, said a few words to Chen's mother, and was finally asked about the matter.

"Da Lang's matter, can the virtuous nephew find out the exact news?"

"Back to my aunt, I got some news," Zhang Ju hurriedly responded, he was in a trance that day, and failed to get information from the three friends, and naturally remedied it afterwards, and indeed gained something, even if Chen's mother was not summoned, she would come to visit in two days, "In the court, there are indeed a few rumors and slanders, and they have also been excerpted, and they have said something unpleasant." ”

Chen's mother became nervous: "It's difficult, it's really not good, I can only show my old face, use favors, and ask someone to dredge it." ”

"The key to this matter is actually still in the present," Zhang Ju arched his hand towards the west, "Today still trusts the king, no matter how big the difficulties are, they are only temporary." ”

Mother Chen took the opportunity to ask, "What did the sage say, do you know?"

There was no reply. Zhang Ju told the situation he had discovered.

Mother Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and asked about anything else, but Zhang Ju had limited knowledge and couldn't answer.

"There is Lao Xian's nephew, at this time, it is only up to you, unlike Erlang, who lives happily all day long, and does not know the suffering. Chen's mother didn't ask.

Zhang Ju remembered Chen He's suggestion, and said: "The prince is not idle, relying on a "Painted Skin", he is also famous in Jiankang City." ”

"I was about to ask you," Chen's mother asked, "What is the situation with Erlang's article?"

Zhang Ju praised: ""Painted Skin" this article is fluent, the words are exquisite, and the story is profound, I and my friends have a high evaluation of it, and now it has been taken out by many people, compared with Lu Wei's "Qingzhai", saying that this article is second to none among many monsters. ”

Mother Chen was taken aback, she really didn't expect Zhang Ju to give such a high evaluation.

"Someone actually compares Erlang's article with Lu Wei's?"

Chen's mother prides herself on her personality, but she understands Lu Wei's reputation and popularity, and knows that this person looks transcendent, but in fact, he has a lot of appeal in Jiankang City, that is, he has a few handkerchiefs, and many noble ladies, and he often talks about it, and he admires and praises him in and out of his words.

At this time, Chen's mother had to echo a sentence or two, and I also heard that the Lu family had a resurgence due to Lu Worry, Lu Qiong and others.

As a result, the second son, who he didn't like, was actually taken out and compared with such characters!

"Not only that, since yesterday, seven or eight out of ten tea shops in the city have to sing "Painted Skin", and there are no less than nine kinds of tunes arranged alone, and all the listeners never get tired of listening to it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the streets and alleys are famous!

Mother Chen was speechless for a long time, and at the end, she said: "Erlang still has such skills." There was surprise and relief in the words, followed by a thank you to Zhang Ju, saying that he was a false praise to Erlang.

Zhang Ju shook his head and said: "This kind of rhetoric is just an evaluation, not a compliment, after a few days, I'm afraid it will be more praise, speaking of which, I and a few friends have the intention to invite Erlang to participate in the literary meeting and evaluate with him, but I don't know if he will agree." ”

"Yes, yes. Chen's mother's eyes lit up, "Will he agree to such a good thing?" She was like a mirror in her heart, but whenever this kind of literary meeting, most of the people who participated in it were people with very high local quality and very prestige, and there were many people in power in the court who were invited to the past to make rulings and evaluations, which was really an excellent place to raise prestige and fame.

Before Lu Wei lived in seclusion outside the city, he also participated in a few games, which was very famous, so that several of his clansmen followed him, and his official fortune was prosperous.

"Now that Da Lang's situation is not good, he just took this opportunity to let him help increase his fame. Chen's mother was overjoyed, and after sending Zhang Ju away, she immediately summoned Chen He and asked Chen Cuo's whereabouts.

"I said I was looking for a temple, but I haven't told you which one it is. Chen He replied to the inquiry, and asked, "Do you want the villain to summon the prince back?"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Chen's mother stretched her brows, showing a sincere smile for the first time in a few days, "Let him scatter his heart, worship the Buddha, with the protection of the gods and Buddhas, it will be smoother." ”

Chen He nodded in understanding.

Chen's mother sighed again: "Erlang has such a ability, the old man really didn't expect it, but this is a good thing, since the way of writing and ink is a knocking brick, can become a famous man, the family is in a crisis, if he can make friends with all parties in the name of literature, it will be the luck of my family!"

After a while, Chen's mother looked sad again, and remembered her eldest son again.

It happened that Chen Jiao came to greet her, noticed her mother's strange appearance, and took the initiative to ask why.

Chen's mother didn't want to talk to her daughter about these things, so she just said that there was nothing to do.

Chen Jiao was willing to believe it, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "My mother doesn't know yet, the second brother is famous in Jiankang City, and he even took me with him." ”

"Oh?" When she heard that it was the second son, Chen's mother was a little less worried, "but because of that article?"

"Mother also knows?" Chen Jiao was slightly surprised, and when she saw her mother's face improve, she made persistent efforts and said: "Brother's "Painted Skin", several of my daughter's close friends have also read it, and they all like it, and begged my daughter to go to her brother, saying that she wanted to ask for a few more copies, and some of them were in a reverie, maybe in a short time, someone will come to ask for marriage!"

Chen's mother finally showed a smile, brushed her daughter's forehead with her hand, and said, "Hugh is talking nonsense." ”

Chen Jiao raised her voice and said: "It's not nonsense, my daughter used to go to her best friend's party, and she was just a foil, and she asked the two sisters of the Lu family to tell Lu Caizi's deeds, and yesterday was regarded as turning over, and she was surrounded by people to ask about her brother, by the way, they asked me to ask, do you know when the second brother will write a new chapter?"

Mother Chen shook her head with a smile and said, "You have to ask yourself, how can I command well?"

"Then I have to hurry," Chen Jiao said seriously, "After a while, "Painted Skin" is afraid that it will be sought after by more people, I don't know how many people are going to visit the second brother, it's late, I'm afraid that people outside will know before me." ”

Her words inherently meant to please her mother, but they were also sincere, so she said goodbye to her mother and returned to the backyard, so she asked her personal maid to find an opportunity to ask.

Her maid said: "Miss, don't worry, the slave and maid are familiar with the aster chrysanthemum in the prince's mansion, and I will go to find out later." ”

Chen Jiaoxi said: "Go! Go!" and then complained, "The second brother is too, he didn't come to see me last time he came to the house, and I helped him." ”

The servant girl comforted her, and then found a time to leave the house and walk quickly through the streets and alleys.

"This is it!"

Not long after the maidservant walked along, there was suddenly a little pig with white flowers on a corner of the alley, but the size of a basin, and a small dark green turtle lying on her back.

It actually spat out people's words: "There is the fragrance of incense here, but no one restricts it, it must be an ownerless offering, let's go to a full meal according to the taste!
