Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 12: Commandments are doubtful, hatred should be kept quiet

"Uncle, I was very complimentary. I just made a small contribution." Chen Zhi looked at the satisfied Chen Chi and knew that if he got the other person's liking, the next things would go much smoother. Even if he didn't get much help, at least There won't be many constraints.

"It's best if you can save yourself trouble. I don't like trouble the most. I'll save it if I can."

"Okay, I won't waste your time anymore. I will stay at the mourning hall as usual today. In the afternoon, I will arrange for someone to take you there to identify the place. If you have any questions, you can tell me, but there is one thing." Chi showed a friendly attitude and said, "According to the bet, my family cannot give you financial support. Otherwise, if word spreads, your second uncle and I will be laughed at."

"My nephew understands, so I'm leaving now." Chen Zhi nodded without delay, taking his leave.

After he left, Chen Chi finally stopped being reserved. He picked up the article and looked at it up and down, nodding his head from time to time. His satisfaction was beyond words, thinking about the tasting meeting some time later. This article is a blockbuster.

After a long time, he put down the scroll.

"The calligraphy is good, and he has a faint demeanor, but I don't know if the person is really talented. If Chen Zhi can complete this bet, then we must pay attention to it. Our Chen family must produce a few capable children as soon as possible. In order to To maintain the family status, if he cannot complete it, he must be restrained and restrained. With such good calligraphy, one cannot bury his ability. If the Chen family has a master of calligraphy, it will also help to improve his rank. Maybe it can stop him. Stay in the decline, but when did my ridiculous nephew master calligraphy so well? Was he hiding his clumsiness in the past? Pretending to be ridiculous? "

He did not doubt that Chen Zhi had been switched. After all, he was still the same person, but his mind had changed.

As he thought about it, a series of rumors about celebrities flashed through his mind, and his heart suddenly became hot. Chen Chi had made a decision.

"Come on." He called a servant and ordered: "Go to the second brother and let me know. According to my original words, the bet has been fulfilled. Besides, the bloodline of the seventh brother is not easy. , now that we are in trouble, we should take care of them, at least not to embarrass them."

The servant nodded and asked, "Besides, is there anything else you want to say?"

"No, just take my exact words with you."

"Yes."

The servant trotted all the way to the backyard. When he arrived at the side room where Chen Bian was resting, he announced his intention, then went in and conveyed the original words, then said goodbye and left.

"Brother asked me to tell you this. What does it mean?"

Chen Bian had just returned from the mourning hall, and before he had time to rest, he heard this message and fell into deep thought. Of course, he understood the deeper meaning of his brother, which was to warn himself not to embarrass Chen Zhi again.

In fact, after the incident with the third elder, Chen Bian changed his opinion of Chen Zhi slightly, and he also wanted to repair the relationship between the two parties, but after hearing the news that Chen Zhi's house was burned and the creditor came to the door, he remembered Chen Zhi's past behavior In addition, Chen Yun contacted a group of nephews and nephews to convey their opinions, so Chen Bian took advantage of the opportunity to use gambling to test whether Chen Zhi had a good mouth or real skills.

"The eldest brother and the seventh brother have a deep relationship, and they also value the flesh and blood of the seventh brother. But in the past, Chen Zhi was unable to hold up the wall, and he disappointed the eldest brother. Recently, he has been willing to support Chen Zhi's second brother, Chen Ting, but Chen Ting is not His reading skills and knowledge are also average. As time goes by, the eldest brother will definitely look down on the seventh brother's family. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi suddenly rises to prominence."

Chen Bian frowned, feeling that there must be a reason.

"I proposed the bet because I wanted to get to know Chen Zhi. If he is really a talent, he will definitely repair the relationship between me and him in the future. If he doesn't hold a grudge against me, it is not impossible to support him; if he is just a Embroidered pillow, then it will swallow up all his family wealth. There is a bet, and the eldest brother has nothing to say. Now the eldest brother specially sent someone to warn him. There must be a reason. It is not just a test of Chen Zhi. He already has a little It means favor."

Chen Bian knew very well that Chen Chi was also dissatisfied when the news about the debt collectors in the gambling house came out. It was only because he had heard about it a long time ago that he did not have an attack. Therefore, he allowed the gambling agreement and at the same time promised that the family would not subsidize Chen Zhi's money. , to prevent Chen Zhi from encouraging his gambling nature.

"I didn't give any money, but I prevented other people from interfering. Did the eldest brother's dissatisfaction and anger disappear all at once? This is impossible, unless Chen Zhi is moved by something. No, this matter must be clarified first!"

Thinking of this, Chen Bian raised his voice and said, "Here comes someone!"

"Master," the latter's Tsing Yi servant outside the door hurriedly walked in, "What are your orders?"

"Go and send someone to investigate. What has Chen Zhi done and who has he met since he came back? It's best to ask him clearly what he said and report back as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"and many more."

"Is there anything else the master wants to tell you?"

"Don't cause trouble for Chen Zhi's family recently."

Here, Chen Bian gave the order and was restlessly waiting for the report. On the other hand, Chen Zhi had already returned to the side room and told the uncle's decision to all the family members. The family was uneasy and didn't know what Chen Zhi's intention was. . "By letting us live in a commercial building, are we planning to suppress them?"

"What should I do? Is it possible that I can only associate with merchants in the future?"

Chen Ting and Chen Fu thought the most and were worried the most.

"I might know that place."

While everyone was discussing, Chen Xi couldn't help but open his mouth, and then quickly shut up, looking at Chen Zhi unnaturally.

In the past, when Chen Xi spoke rashly when his family gathered together, he would often be scolded by Chen Zhi. Because he was a concubine, it was not uncommon for him to be suppressed by his eldest son. Over time, Chen Xi developed a conditioned reflex. Be cautious.

However, in the past few days, Chen Zhi's temperament had changed slightly, which made Chen Xi relax his heart. However, as soon as he said these words, he came back to his senses and became afraid.

Chen Zhi knew why Chen Xi was like this, so he didn't comfort or tell him anything. Instead, he asked with a normal expression: "Since you know, let's talk about it, so that we can have some peace of mind." His tone was calm, not Blaming is just like casual chatting.

Such a tone made Chen Xi breathe a sigh of relief, and then he hurriedly said: "A few friends and I have been to this place before. It should be on Fengyang Street, which is where the market gathers. It is said that on February 30 Years ago, one-third of that street was occupied by our shops, but they were gradually bought by others. Now there are only a limited number of shops left. One of them is located in the middle of Fengyang Street. It is said to be a large house. It was originally reserved for the third brother, but the third brother did not want to go into business, so it has been vacant for the past two years."

The third brother he refers to is the third son of the Chen family in this generation and the second son of his uncle Chen Chi.

"Fengyang Street?"

Chen Zhi nodded, feeling that Chen Xi's guess was probably correct. This shop was probably where his family would end up.

Fengyang Street in Pengcheng County is a place where cities and towns have emerged in recent years.

A flood a few years ago devastated all areas of Xuzhou. In the same year, Fengyun responded to Yiyang barbarian Zhang Chang's rebellion. The government was overwhelmed. It had to relocate the people, control floods, and prevent infiltration, so the government decided to The city, which was located behind the government, was moved to the lanes and lanes, where they were mixed together.

In fact, this is also a continuation of the gradual disintegration of the Yingguo system after Cao Cao took Xu. The originally strictly planned boundaries of districts, cities, and prefectures are no longer strictly observed.

Because of this, Fengyang Street was a mixed bag, which made Chen Ting worried. He said: "If you live in Fengyang Street, let's not talk about the impact on the reputation of the country. Let's talk about the debt collectors. Let this opportunity go, brother, look..."

"No need to worry," Chen Zhi waved his hand, "The Chen Mansion will not provide us with financial help, but it will not let others bully me. The problem of gambling debts can be delayed for a while. I have my own solution. Even if It's not necessarily a bad thing that they really came to our door. The house is on fire, and the gambling shop responded so quickly. There may be connections inside, and maybe the real murderer can be caught." As he said this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh, that picture It brought a lot of benefits to myself, at least it improved my relationship with the boss of the Chen family.

As for the reputation issue, it is not a problem. Chen Zhi's focus is not only on making money, but also on fame. The profession of publicity is degrading to others, but if done properly, it is also a good way to spread reputation.

"This bet is probably to see if I have the ability and talent. If I can support my family's livelihood by running a shop, maybe the clan will come forward to help me settle my gambling debt. So Chen Chi didn't mention repaying the debt just now. thing, and with that painting, he will not let debt collectors come to trouble me, and create a quiet environment for me to review and study. This way, I have time to prepare and lay a foundation. This bet Debts can never be passed on to others.”

A few words put everyone in the room at ease, and then Chen Zhi went to the mourning hall with his two younger brothers.

During the day, they also have to fulfill their obligations as a member of the Chen family.

However, the news that Chen Zhi's house was on fire had obviously spread. The people along the way looked at him a little strangely, but they didn't mock him. Obviously, these people also knew that the direction of the family apocalypse was unclear recently, and they didn't want to express their opinions easily.

It's just that there is still no fear in the end. The three Chen Zhi brothers had just entered the mourning hall when they heard a mocking voice from the side——

"Isn't this the seventh brother? I heard that the house is in trouble? It's really rare to have the thought to come here. Unfortunately, if you come, grandfather will not be happy if he is still alive. After all, it's not long since the death of the mourning hall." Chen Yun walked over with a sneer on her face, and said as she walked, "Most of the relatives and friends who came to express their condolences are resting today. Otherwise, if they saw you, this mourning hall might not be clean."

"Fourth brother, why are you talking like that?" Chen Ting couldn't help but retort, but Chen Zhi waved his hand to stop him, and then the latter continued walking inside with his two younger brothers.

"What? Are you scared?" Chen Yun became more and more domineering, "Before, you were very arrogant outside the second uncle's door. Why..."

"If you really want to hate me, you should wait for the opportunity to kill me with one blow." Chen Zhi stopped, shook his head, and smiled lightly, "You come here and say something disgusting to me when it's okay, for fear that others won't know about you and me. If there is a conflict, once something happens to me, you will be suspected immediately. Isn't this asking for trouble? You don't have to try so hard to anger me. For a small role like you, I think it's a waste of time to make you look bad. You'd better go first Just stay quiet and don't make any noise. What's wrong with being a quiet little guy?"
