Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 106: Power and wealth are hard to come by, but learning will last forever

Not long after the news came, Chen Qian came over with the calligraphy and handed it to Chen Chi, and then told him the news about Chen Zhi, which surprised Chen Chi.

"Such a thing happened during the screening! Even celebrities praised my nephew. Isn't it foolproof? There is also Jiangdong Lu Ying, who can discuss things with such people. My nephew's ability is getting deeper and deeper. Bottomed out, by the way, thank you for telling me, dear brother." After the joy, Chen Chi hurriedly thanked Chen Qian. Although they belong to two branches, they are both inherited from the clan, and they are of the same generation in terms of age. , or Chen Chi is older.

"It's a good thing that our Chen family has such a talented person, and the Chen family in Xiapi is also proud of it." Chen Qian nodded with a smile, and then changed the subject, "By the way, brother, are you ready for the dinner? I heard that other Several companies also have good calligraphy and paintings to be displayed.”

When asked, Chen Chi glanced at the calligraphy scroll in his hand and said, "That's what my Chen family has accumulated. I have already taken out the previous calligraphy and paintings. This time, I mainly relied on my nephew's hand." I just hope you don't make me laugh."

"Chen Zhi's calligraphy is of course very good." Chen Qian nodded, but then added, "However, there is one more thing I want to remind brother. The foundation of our family is family law and family learning. The Pengcheng Chen family With such great talents, we cannot neglect the training of the younger generations." The warning in his words was not concealed at all.

The inheritance of a family line must continuously consolidate the foundation of the family, and this foundation is family law and education.

Chen Qian had heard about the plight of the Chen family in Pengcheng for a long time. He saw the root cause clearly. Although he was happy that a capable person from the branch family stood out, he was also worried that the head of the branch family in front of him would rely too much on this outstanding son and ignore the real key. .

"Brother also understands this truth." Chen Chi showed a wry smile, "Ethnology is the foundation of the family, but the family is so difficult, and with the rise of several academies around Pengcheng, Mr. Xibin, who is a little better, was all won over by the academies. I don’t think so, how can I appreciate my little family study of the Chen family, even if I occasionally invite one or two people, I don’t know why, but I always have to resign halfway.” His words were full of helplessness, and Chen Qian sighed .

Some things really cannot be reversed by manpower.

While the two clansmen of the Chen clan were talking, someone in a teahouse in Liu County also talked about the Chen family.

"In the past two days, Chen Zhi's calligraphy has been in the limelight. It is said that the Wang family of Wuyuan, the Peng family of Pengcheng, and the Chen family all have calligraphy in Chen Zhi's handwriting. I have not read the calligraphy of the Peng family and the Liu family. Yes, but I have seen the Wuyuan Wang family's "Ming Yue Fu" with my own eyes, and it is indeed a masterpiece. It is a top-notch calligraphy. The Chen family has a capable person."

The person who spoke had a mustache and was wearing a brocade cloak. His name was Mei Yan. The Mei family behind him was also a big family in Xuzhou, and had a good relationship with the governor who moved to the south.

"This is interesting now. I heard that those families who have made good friends with the governor are waiting for the state capital to return to the north to seek some benefits in Pengcheng. Now that the Chen family in Pengcheng has shown signs of revival, they may not be able to do so. Already." The second one spoke, with a five-willow beard, a handsome face, wearing a scholar's uniform, named Zhang Hui, who was related by blood to the Grand Duke Zhang of Pengcheng, but not from the Pengcheng family, but from the rich family of Guangling County .

It is worth mentioning that the governor's office of Xuzhou has been moved to Guangling County.Guangling County is close to Jianye, the old capital of the New Han Dynasty. It is also a place where people gather together. It is located in the south. It is much better than Pengcheng County, which has been hit by wars many times.

Zhang Hui said, looked at the person beside him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Huan, what do you think? The governor moved to the state in the south, and your Huan family helped each other across the state. It's not a good thing for your Huan family to have an outstanding disciple in the Chen family." There was a hint of sarcasm and sarcasm in his words.

The person he targeted was an elegant man. He was not upset when he heard this and responded with a smile: "The Chen family is a big family with deep roots. Our Huan family also respects it very much. How could you have any wrong ideas? However, Chen It has long been known to everyone that the two branches of the family are prosperous in the south and in decline in the north. This cannot be blamed on my Huan family. Brother Zhang, it is better not to spread rumors, otherwise people will hear them and be misunderstood. "

After hearing this, Zhang Hui shook his head and was about to say more when a voice suddenly came from behind him——

"What? You want to use the unsatisfactory North Branch to ruin the reputation of my Chen family?"

As the voice came, it was a man in his thirties, wearing fresh clothes and angry horses, with disdain in his words: "He Pengcheng Chen family, he is not up to date, his inheritance is declining, and his family style is not strong. What does it have to do with my Chen family in Xiapi?" ?" As he said that, he sat down with dignity, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and drank lightly.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen." Mei Yan, Zhang Hui and others all laughed when they saw this person.

This Chen Sanshao, Chen Hua, is a direct descendant of the southern branch of the Chen family. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the next generation of the Chen family. This time he came to Liu County to make friends with the direct descendants of the Zhuge family.

At that time, the ancestors of Zhuge and Chen were ministers in the same palace, and they were also friends.

A person like Chen Hua has a very high self-esteem, so he naturally has no good impression of the Chen family in Pengcheng, who has a poor reputation.

He took a sip here, put down the water glass, and said again: "That Chen Zhi you are talking about, I have seen his calligraphy, and it is really good, but in the past, he was not well-reviewed, and he didn't even have a local product. Such a person, you Are you also worried? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with being oppressed by me, Mrs. Chen, because of the previous incident, and are you deliberately using this person to belittle me, Mrs. Chen? "

But Zhang Hui laughed: "Oh? From what Chen Sanshao said, you don't seem to have a good impression of Chen Zhi? Are you still happy to see the success of someone else's plot to seize the Chen family in Pengcheng?"

"If there is no danger, there must be worry. The reason why the Chen family in Pengcheng declined is that they lived in good times for too long and were busy fighting among themselves, forgetting the dangers in the world." Chen Hua also laughed, "I have no prejudice against Chen Zhi. His The calligraphy is good, but future achievements will be limited, because the inheritance of the Northern Branch is not good. If Chen Zhi studied in the Southern Branch, his achievements will be more than this. It is a pity that power is easy to move, but wealth is difficult to last. Only knowledge and learning are the foundation. This can be passed down from generation to generation! The Northern Branch doesn't understand this principle, and the structure is too small, so it is trapped in one city."

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "I heard that many children of the Chen family have been recruited by several major academies this time. It is also a big event." The Chen family he mentioned was of course not Pengcheng Chen, but Xiapi Chen.

Chen Hua showed a bright face, and said with a smile: "That's exactly the case. The inheritance of family traditions is the foundation of the family, and the prosperity of the Chen family depends on it. Teach the Pengcheng Chen family the truth! Let them wake up!"

"Oh? It is estimated that Chen Sanshao will have a big talk at that time." Zhang Hui smiled and clapped his hands, and someone put a whole set of tea sets for Chen Hua, and then changed the subject, "You said that Chen Zhi was unknown in the past , suddenly became popular, I think it was to build momentum, and also wanted to establish friendship with Zhuge’s family.”

When Chen Hua heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

Zhang Hui continued: "I have a message for you. I am afraid that the plans of the Chen family in Pengcheng will come to nothing. Zhuge Yan will not go to Pengcheng before the end of the year. Not only that, but also tonight's tasting The dinner party will be cancelled."

"Oh?" Mei Yan showed an interested expression, "Brother Zhang, you are well informed, do you have anything to disclose?"

"I heard that the military situation in the north has changed. This Mr. Zhuge wants to stay in Liuxian County to investigate the news. I am not in the mood to pay attention to his affairs." Zhang Hui smiled lightly, "I don't know the specific news. After all, it is The military affairs of the imperial court cannot be disclosed casually."

He said he didn't know, but he also said he couldn't reveal it. Everyone else looked thoughtful.

Finally, Zhang Hui added: "There is news that really concerns Mr. Zhuge. There is a figure in the military affairs in the north who interests him. He is sending people to inquire about the news. Maybe not long after, we can I know the result.”

Sure enough, as stated in this meeting, the tasting dinner was not held as scheduled, and Mr. Zhuge Yan suddenly lived in seclusion, obviously busy with something, and from time to time, he could see fast horses coming from the north, as if to deliver news .

　Thanks to "Zhang Xiaobaiya", "I don't want nicknames", "Li Xiaoxianxian", "Master of the Holy Demon Palace", "Dian Lips to Purple Blood", "un*derstand", "Ah loha 123" and "[Spark]" for their rewards!
