Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 109 Are there any guests here to congratulate you?
"Seventh brother, I really belong to you! In front of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, I rejected them directly." On the way back from the ancestor worship, Chen Luo walked beside brother Chen Zhi and gave a thumbs up as he walked, " I heard that the eldest uncle and the second uncle's faces were very ugly at that time, but they held it back and even praised you, hey, if it had been anyone else, they would have had a fit on the spot."

Chen Ting said worriedly: "Brother, don't you offend the uncle and the second uncle now, will there be no future trouble?"

Chen Luo laughed, patted Chen Ting on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Shiyi, you still don't understand. In that situation, if you agree to one person and offend the other, there may not be any good. Besides, do you think Seventh Brother will still get into trouble because his elders are displeased? That's wrong, now Seventh Brother is no longer a junior in the Chen family, but a leading figure!"

"This..." Chen Ting was taken aback when he heard the words, the memory of the past period of time flashed across his mind, and he realized it faintly.

Chen Luo came to Chen Zhi again and said with a low smile: "Seventh brother, to tell you the truth, I also have a mission this time. My old father knew that I was friendly with you, so he asked me to mention it to you. The reasons for asking you to stay at our house for a few days are the same as those of the uncle and the second uncle, and they all understand their intentions, but I just feel that Brother Qi is not someone who will agree."

Chen Zhi also laughed: "The eighth brother is the one who knows me."

Chen Luo grinned and lowered his voice a little: "I guess the eldest uncle, second uncle, and even the other uncles will not give up in the past few days. You have to be mentally prepared. Now you have swallowed up a lot of the Bai family." Industry, such a piece of fat, except for the part given to you, the rest is a family property. All parties are watching. Who can get your support, coupled with the momentum of congratulations, I don’t know how much benefit can be obtained. This is all It’s real gold and silver, who would have trouble with silver?”

"I understand this too." Chen Zhi nodded, knowing what Chen Luo was referring to.

Before the Bai family case, the Chen family was not united, and there were many strongholds in the family. When disaster struck and the family was dying, all the forces in the family put aside their prejudices and united together to cooperate sincerely. However, once the crisis was over, they returned to their old ways.

Chen Zhi also understands that in a family with so many people and many industries, it is not normal if there is no internal fighting. Fighting is the norm, but Chen Zhi does not intend to get involved, and there is no need to get involved.

But Chen Zhi's value has been reflected. Anyone in the Chen family who misses him a little will not give up trying to win Chen Zhi's support.

Sure enough, not long after he finished saying this, as soon as he returned to Shulin Zhai, someone came to visit him. It was the steward of Chen Yuan's family. When he faced Chen Zhi, he said that if it was inconvenient to live in Shulin Zhai, he could go to Chen Zhi. Stay far away.

"I didn't expect that even Uncle Eight would send someone here."

Looking at the back of the steward walking away, Chen Ting could not help but sigh. Chen Yuan had always given him the impression that he was a man of action who was cautious in his words and deeds. He never expected that he would behave like this.

However, considering the importance placed on fame in this era, everything is not so obtrusive.

Half an hour later, the steward of Chen Yue's family also came to visit. After seeing such a scene, Chen Ting really felt relieved and knew that rejecting his uncle and second uncle was not necessarily a bad thing.

Even Chen Fu, who was guarding the store, understood. He smiled and said to Chen Zhi: "It seems that all the gentlemen can't sit still. They all want the young master to express his attitude. I wonder what you think, young master? Logically speaking, so do we. A member of the clan does not necessarily have to be a helper to others..." This loyal servant had spent two good days and seemed to have a bigger goal.

It's a pity that Chen Zhi shook his head. He had no interest in the powerful Chen family at all. He had participated in all kinds of things before and left a mess behind. Now that he was free, how could he still scheming for the power of a family.

Seeing Chen Zhi's lack of interest, Chen Fu secretly regretted it, and then he felt refreshed. He knew that as long as Chen Zhi was around, he and others would become a stronghold of the Chen family and would no longer be bullied. However, there is still a fly in the ointment--

"It's just that this year's festival will inevitably be deserted."

"It's better to be quiet, it's good for studying." Chen Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just needed time to study the classics in his heart.

Chen Fu was even more helpless when he heard this. Secretly, he still hoped that it would be more lively so that their branch could appear prosperous.

However, Chen Zhi had no intention of doing this, but several of his uncles were unwilling to stop.

Let's just say that the two stewards who came over just now, after taking Chen Zhi's reply back, the two Chen family masters made their own judgments.

"Perhaps it's to avoid suspicion and not want to offend other people." After hearing the reply, Master Chen Liu, Chen Yu, pondered slightly and said, "In the past few days, you have been staring at Fengyang Street. My seventh nephew has gained such a reputation. It is inevitable that I will be arrogant. If it were the New Year next year, I would definitely not invite him unintentionally. But this year, I guess not many people came to his door. After all, when he became famous, he was already Niangen. When he understands the situation, he may have to If you change your mind, you can invite me again when the time comes, and you should be able to succeed. After all, he is the hero of my Chen family, and we can’t really let him spend the rest of his life in silence.”

"Master, don't worry, I'll be the first to bring you the news about the Seventh Young Master." Chen Yu's steward immediately went to arrange the manpower, but when he arrived at the place, he found that not only he had brought people here, but also the Eldest Master. The stewards of Chen Chi, the second master Chen Bian, the fifth master Chen Xun, and the eighth master Chen Yuan are also guarding their shops with their people -

In the past, most of the industry in Fengyang Street belonged to the Chen family. Although it is in decline now, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and each family still has a shop.

After the several stewards met, they all understood each other tacitly, and each other knew the reasons.

Let's not talk about the activities of the various branches of the Chen family, but say that the county magistrate Yang Yong has been keeping a low profile since that day in the court, but when the new year comes, he has to show something.

As a exiled official, Yang Yong wanted to govern a county well and needed the support of the local wealthy families. During every year and festival, he would go to various major families to congratulate him.

At this time, the servants in the family asked Yang Yong about his arrangements so that he could prepare the gifts and then arrange the trip. "...Master, everything for the Zhang family is ready, and there are also things for the Chen family."

"Chen family?" Yang Yong frowned slightly, showing displeasure.

The Chen family is now colluding with the county government and subordinate officials of the county government to plunder the Bai family's property, involving the interests of all parties. He, the county magistrate, has to turn a blind eye, but it is inevitable that he has a grudge and has no regard for the Chen family. Good impression.

However, after what happened before, it would be impossible for him to provoke the Chen family again, but now he goes to congratulate the Chen family?

Yang Yong shook his head and said: "The Grand Duke of the Chen family has recently lost his life, and there is no respected person in the family. I will not congratulate the Chen family this year. In a few days, you will take my official greeting card and invite several people from the Chen family to come to the mansion to participate in the Spring Festival banquet. It will also That's it."

If the head of a county fails to congratulate the aristocratic families within his jurisdiction on New Year's Day, he will undoubtedly send various signals. This servant is also a smart person. He understands the master's concerns, so he just nodded in agreement and went to prepare the New Year's gift.

Yang Yong was left alone, deep in thought.

"After the Bai Qing incident, the Liu family also had a conflict. It seems that I have broken up with the Chen family. I will have less contact with him from now on. Chen Zhi is a disaster star. I can't afford to offend him. How can I not hide from him? I won't congratulate Chen Zhi. Home, no one is forcing me to go there, right? If I move my position, who cares what happens to the Chen family!"

With this thought, Yang Yong sat down with peace of mind.

With the end of the sacrificial day, the festive atmosphere became more and more intense. The common people rejoiced and ate delicacies that they would not be willing to eat normally. Xu Zhi was very happy and praised him again and again.

During this period, there were also many Spring Festival poetry gatherings, but most of them were convened by the younger generation to show their romantic style, and they were scattered and lackluster.

"Compared to the previous two years, Pengcheng has improved a bit."

In this festive atmosphere, a group of people came to Pengcheng and stayed in an inn the day after worshiping their ancestors. The leader was Chen Hua, who deliberately dressed up in ordinary clothes.

There were more than a dozen people in their group who came to communicate with the Chen family from Xiapi. The leader was Chen Hua, who had criticized the Chen family in Pengcheng in Liu County.

As soon as they settled in, a servant asked: "Third Young Master, why bother staying at an inn? Just inform the Chen family in Pengcheng and ask them to arrange manpower to come and greet you."

"It's not that simple." Chen Hua smiled slightly and said something reasonable. "I came here this time. On the surface, it was for the goodwill between the two families after the sacrifice, but privately, I wanted to warn the Chen family of Pengcheng and let them You cannot forget the roots of your family education just because of an outstanding son, but the Chen family in Pengcheng is considered respectable and may not be convinced, so we must first understand the situation of his family before we can prescribe the right medicine."

"High!" the servant quickly echoed.

Chen Hua smiled faintly and continued: "After New Year's Eve, it is the time to congratulate. The atmosphere of a family can best be seen. I want to know how depressed the Chen family in Pengcheng is now. Let's see who congratulates them. It's the easiest way."

The servant immediately flattered him: "Master, you are indeed far-sighted. By the way, the outstanding disciple you are talking about is Chen Zhi, right? Our inn is not far from Fengyang Street. How about I go and find out?"

Chen Hua waved his hand and said calmly: "It doesn't have to be like this. Let's expand the structure a little bit. We need to look at the entire Chen family in Pengcheng, not just one of the children. You should take care of your manpower and don't deliberately understand Chen Zhi. Otherwise, others will think that I, Chen Hua, still Focusing on the younger generation's competition and lowering your style for no reason, my goal is to convince people of Chen Chi's generation when I come here this time!"

The servant was immediately impressed and began to make arrangements.

Time passed, and soon it was evening. Each room of the Chen family had been guarding Fengyang Street for two days. I saw that Shulin Zhai was deserted. Apart from greetings from neighbors, no important people came to congratulate me. I felt reassured.

"It is estimated that there will be no congratulations today. If the same will be the case in the next two days, if you send an invitation again, maybe it will be successful."

Just when several stewards were about to make a move, they saw several figures wearing large cloaks walking from the street and went straight to the door of Shulinzhai.

Several Chen family stewards were also well-informed. After staring for a while, they recognized one person.

"This person looks like Young Master Wang Xi from the Wang Family in Wuyuan. His grandfather passed away a while ago and this person has been here before. Why is he here? Could it be that he is here to congratulate the Seventh Young Master?"
