Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 107 Encouragement Tea

Time passes slowly and Kitchen Day arrives.

Pengcheng County, Fengyang Street, Shulinzhai.

"The screening has passed, and the position of the recipient has been obtained. I will wait until the end of the year to live a leisurely life. National affairs have nothing to do with me for the time being."

Chen Zhi was sitting on a chair in the lobby, with a charcoal stove beside him, a book in his hand, and a cup of tea on the table beside him. At this time, he was reading a book and drinking tea.

Looking at the book in my hand, and also meditating on the book in my heart, I just feel that life should be like this.

"This kind of leisure is what life is."

When Kitchen Day arrives, the Chen family is filled with joy, and the atmosphere of the new year gradually begins to take hold. There are drumming and singing in the streets, and laughter is everywhere. The traces of military disasters in previous years and floods and droughts this year have been temporarily covered up.

"Only at this time can we feel that this era is not a sentence in a history book, but a real life. People in this era do not follow any historical context or feudal laws. They can put aside all inevitability and contingency. They are all Live people.”

Looking at the busy figures outside the door, Chen Zhi was immersed in the comfort of a feudal landlord and felt emotional. At the same time, he felt the changes in the lottery tube. The growth rate of the fame gold liquid was already slow, but it still looked full of stamina.

"My reputation is limited to counties, but if I fill three squares, I will be famous in a state. There is an essential difference between the two. Simply waiting will only be a waste of fame and gold. In addition, my family's wealth is gradually filling up. From various sources, From a perspective, it’s time to draw another lot.”

Chen Zhi's reputation is still spreading and will not diminish in a short period of time, but because it is limited to counties and counties, it is difficult to reach the third square of the lotus tube, which is enough to fill many squares of fame gold liquid, and is wasted.

It turns out that the accumulation of reputation in the lottery tube has a special characteristic. For example, the second grid can be filled only when the county is famous. But once it is full, the reputation will continue to spread and will still rise, but the rate will slow down seriously. At this time, the reputation gold will be drawn. If the liquid drops below two levels, the increase will increase. To put it simply, it is difficult to reach the third level before reaching a state.

At this time, consuming two squares to draw a lot will certainly consume most of the fame gold liquid, but due to the spread of reputation, it can be filled up again soon, which is a reasonable use.

On the other side, the money was thrown away in Qingyuan Village, and Chen Zhi had to consider the threat of side effects. With the Chen family's attack on the Bai family, Chen Zhi's property was about to skyrocket. After comprehensive consideration, it would be best to draw lots as soon as possible. choose.

"Taking into account the input and output, the probability of side effects from lower-tier lottery tickets is lower. Even if there are some, they are not serious. You can also test the halo of copper coins, so you can achieve multiple things with one stone..."

Here, Chen Zhi was still thinking. Chen Fu, wrapped in a coat, walked in from outside. In the past two days, he had been recruiting some people according to Chen Zhi's instructions. He would add more people when the house was repaired. At the same time, he was also Buying New Year’s goods.

As soon as he came in and saw Chen Zhi, he smiled and said, "Young master, on the way just now, I met the old servants of the mansion, and they all wanted to come back. But I made it clear to them that when the family was in trouble, none of them would do it." They left with conscience, and now that they have come back after hearing your name, young master, how can it be so cheap! The old servant gave them a good scolding!"

This loyal servant has been very proud of himself recently. Not only has he become a servant and a prominent figure among the servants in the Chen family, but he has also brought back the servants who used to serve Chen Zhi's family, including Chen Fu's relatives and friends, interceding with each other. Pull the relationship.

But facing his colleagues who abandoned their master in times of crisis, Chen Fu didn't like them at all and rejected them all.

"By the way, young master, you are now more famous and older. When the house is repaired, you should..."

While he was still talking, someone hurriedly came in from the door and interrupted Chen Fu's words.

This person was clearly Chen Jue. He came to Chen Zhi, bowed his head, and said with a flattering smile: "Master, the Bai family just sent someone over and said they would fund the reconstruction of the old house. How should we respond?"

Chen Zhi smiled at Chen Fu, then turned to Chen Jue and said, "Just let the Chen Mansion handle the Bai family's affairs. When the Chen Mansion has sorted out the Bai family's property and we can take over it, we will allocate silver coins at that time." , rebuild the old house, don’t need to get involved now.”

"Okay, the villain will go and reply now and ask them to find the Chen Mansion." Chen Jue nodded and took the order.

Chen Jue took two steps and met someone. He quickly said hello, but it was Chen Zhi's third brother Chen Xi, who walked in with a depressed look on his face.

"Huh?" Chen Zhi was a little confused, "Third brother, you went to study in the clan and came back so soon?"

"The original gentleman left, and the clan hired a new gentleman, but this gentleman didn't seem to want to give lectures. When he came today, he scolded us and said he wouldn't give lectures for the next few days and asked us to come back. .”

"How can there be such a truth?" Chen Fu was unhappy when he heard this. "Studying is so important for learning. The eldest young master is famous and respected in Pengcheng only because he is good at studying. If the new gentleman in the clan doesn't lecture, then why? What are you doing here? Isn't this misleading!" He directly ignored the days when Chen Zhi was uneducated and incompetent.

"No more lectures?" The speaker was filled with indignation, but Chen Zhi was moved in his heart. After calling Chen Xi and asking a few questions, he nodded slightly, "In that case, let's stay at home for now. It's almost New Year's Day, and clan studies Let’s wait until after the new year.” Seeing that Chen Xi still looked gloomy, Chen Zhi added, “I’m going to buy new year’s goods this afternoon, how about you go with me?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi suddenly became excited and said yes repeatedly.

It was already winter when Taigong Chen passed away. Now it is almost the end of the year and New Year's Day is coming soon. According to the custom of the New Han Dynasty, on the New Year's Day, good wine and food should be prepared at home.

When Chen Fu saw the young master showing off his face, he said, "This time we will celebrate the first day of the first lunar month in the store. After the ancestor worship, I don't know who will come to congratulate the young master. The young master has become famous now, and there will be a few more important people here." Congratulations, the name of Pengcheng's talented scholar can be truly established."

The first three days of the New Han Dynasty were the time for each family and tribe to worship their ancestors. After the three days passed, around the beginning of spring, it was the time for each family to visit, that is, to pay homage to clan members, relatives, celebrities, and venerables.

People at that time valued reputation, and a visit in the spring of the year could best reflect a person's reputation. If the visit was grand, it could even be included in the local annals, and even affect the judgment of the official, directly changing the rank of the village.

Because of this, aristocratic families attach great importance to congratulations after the New Year, which demonstrates the majesty of a family to the outside world and the status and voice of each branch of the family internally.

"Master! Master!" At this time, Chen Jue came in again. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Chen Zhi, "The eldest master is back. He praised you profusely when he came. He also said that he was coming over. If someone stopped him, he could say something. Since he didn’t come, I asked you to find time to come over, he wants to see you.”

"What a shame!" Chen Jue was first greeted by Chen Fu's reprimand. This loyal servant was now extremely powerful. As Chen Zhi's most trusted person, his current status in the Chen family could not be improved even if he skyrocketed. For example, Chen Jue, for example, could make up his mind when facing Chen Zhi in the past, but now when listening to Chen Fu's scolding, he had to nod his head repeatedly, and every word he said was right.

When Chen Fushun lost his temper and nodded, Chen Jue breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Chen Zhi again, showing an eager expression.

With Chen Zhi's acquiescence and Chen Jue's operation, he has become a servant of Chen Zhi's house and one of his own, so the feeling is naturally different.

In his opinion, the Patriarch of the Chen family praised Chen Zhi as soon as he came back, and he wanted to come here in person as the patriarch and elder, which is to show his attitude.

Chen Zhi also understood this, nodded and said: "Uncle is an elder. Now that he is back, it is only right that I pay him a visit. He has traveled up and down Liu County and put a lot of effort into my hometown."

Chen Jue hurriedly said: "I was about to inform the young master. This time, the eldest master invites you to come over. Firstly, he wants to talk about the country's products. Secondly, he wants to inform the young master about the specific disposal of the Bai family's property."

"Oh?" Chen Zhi had a thought, "If we talk about the distribution of property, then it is very likely that it will be counted as my property. If we draw lots, it will be a bit difficult to calculate."

Thinking about this, Chen Zhi expressed his understanding and agreed to go to the Chen Mansion tomorrow. Then he returned to the room and drew lots without hesitation.

Suddenly, in the scale of the lottery tube that was climbing hard, the two boxes of fame gold liquid disappeared in an instant.The next breath, the copper coin trembled, and the halo accumulated during the discussion with Wang Pan, Liu Kan, Lu Ying and others disappeared.

A bamboo stick appeared in Chen Zhi's hand.

The bamboo stick has the word "Confucianism" written on it, and also has the sign of a lower-grade bamboo stick.

As the two blocks of Fame Gold Liquid disappeared, only half a block remained, but the growth rate suddenly increased!
"Confucian lot. And the halo of the copper coins disappeared again. It seems that they have to be completely consumed every time."

After the thought fell, he did not delay and began to unravel the signature.

The bamboo stick twists and turns into a bag of tea cakes.

"Tea?" Chen Zhi was slightly surprised. This had never happened in his previous life.

At the same time, a piece of information came into my mind——

"Encourage learning tea, brew it and drink it, you can get the elegance of admonishing learning for an hour. When people listen to the words and their thoughts are stirred, it can enlighten them and make them obey the instructions. In addition, this tea can only be drunk by the signer. efficient."
