Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 120 Avoiding it? 【Second update】

"How is it, is anyone here?"

When Chen Yi returned to the Chen family's ancestral home with the news, there were already people waiting to greet Chen Zhi.

After the congratulations last night, Chen Zhi's status has greatly increased. Not only within the Chen Mansion, but also outside the Chen Mansion and in the entire Pengcheng County, he has a prestige foundation. After one or two things, it is logical to get the title of a celebrity. of.

Under this situation, even if the Chen family is a member of the family, they must treat Chen Zhi with courtesy. When inviting Chen Zhi over, they can no longer be as casual as before, so the person who went to inform Chen Yi this time was Chen Yi, and Zu There was also a queue to greet the others at the house.

However, Chen Zhi didn't wait. What he was waiting for was unexpected news.

"Go to study outside the city?"

Chen Xun, the fifth master who had just arrived, stroked his beard and was very puzzled: "What is he going to do at this time?" come over.

"Forget it, my seventh nephew can't be judged by common sense now. There must be a reason for what he did. Perhaps considering that the foundation is unstable, he has avoided the edge for the time being. The top priority now is for us to come forward to deal with Chen Hua first. ."

Recalling the scenery last night, Chen Xun put aside his doubts. His view of Chen Zhi has completely changed. Because of this nephew, the Chen family is very popular in Pengcheng today. The visit of the county magistrate is a trivial matter. The key is the visit of General Zhu's staff and the Zuo family of Qingzhou. , which greatly improves the family's reputation.

After thinking about it, he walked into the Chen Mansion with his two sons, Chen Shu and Chen Luo, and walked to the main hall.

This time Chen Hua came to visit. In terms of local quality, he was of the seventh grade. He was only one grade behind Chen Chi. He was on par with Chen Yue and higher than other Chens. Chen Xun was not as good as him. To show his respect, of course he had to accompany him, but In terms of seniority, although Chen Hua's bloodline was far away, he was still from Chen Zhi's generation, so he called his two sons over.

In fact, in the past, those who visited and congratulated each other on New Year's Day were all juniors. For example, this time, the people sent by the Chen family in Pengcheng to Xiapi were headed by Chen Chi's eldest son, Chen Xu.

However, in terms of mutual communication, the Pengcheng Chen family is actually at a disadvantage.

"Father, what do you mean, Chen Hua is not easy to deal with?" Chen Luo followed and asked in a low voice. He also knew that the relationship between his family and the Xiapi branch was not close.

Chen Xun was deeply touched by this. When his son asked, he replied: "In the past, your grandfather was in charge. Even though the people from the Chen family in Xiapi were arrogant, they would restrain themselves to some extent and did not dare to offend your grandfather. Now that your grandfather has passed away, They immediately sent Chen Hua. Who is Chen Hua? How tough is the person who dares to refute it in front of the venerable and famous people! He also has some reputation in Jiangzuo. There once was an elder in the Chen family in Xiapi, because one sentence said Wrong, I blamed him, but Chen Hua insisted on chasing me, talking about Taoism every day, and directly forced the elder to apologize to him!"

Chen Luo couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "Good guy, so powerful? But he is a junior, forcing an elder to confess. This is too much. Is it possible that the Xiapi Chen family will just let it go?"

"Why don't you care? You have to control it! He is not using force, but reasoning. How can others criticize him?" Chen Xun shook his head and lowered his voice, "Don't think Chen Hua is inferior to his father, but in terms of ability, But he is much better than me. The key is that he also has a good teacher. Chen Hua studied under Guo Zhan. Guo Zhan is a distant relative of Guo Xiang. After studying abroad, he settled down in Jiangzuo and established an academy. Therefore, Chen Hua can be said to be Guo Xiang’s disciple. , all his misbehaviors were labeled as natural and natural. In addition, I heard that he also had a relationship with that little immortal Ge Hong. For these reasons, plus the fact that he had done too much, over time, Nanzhi started to get weird. No wonder, just let it go.”

Chen Luo understood it as soon as he heard it.

"There is another thing! That Taifu Guo who edited "Zhuangzi Zhuangzi" is a master of metaphysics! And Xiaoxian Weng Baopuzi is also famous. A few years ago, I heard that he went into seclusion to write books. "

Disciples of metaphysics masters and famous friends of Taoism, they act recklessly under the banner of the master's theory. No wonder it is difficult for others to treat them.

Among Guo Xiang's many ideas, there is the saying of self-sufficiency, which emphasizes peace of mind, so as to obtain absolute spiritual freedom, so that people of different social status can live their lives, perform their duties, and be satisfied.

Later, a group of his disciples misinterpreted it and developed a new view. They believed that as long as their status and country character were high enough, they should pursue enlightenment of thoughts, so that their nature would be rounded, contented and contented. They explained that this is natural nature and is the result of famous teachings. Part of it, in a far-fetched way, is consistent with the theory advocated by Guo Xiang that famous religion is nature.

To put it simply, the higher the status, the less scrupulous it is, which is far from Guo Xiang's original intention.

Guo Zhan should belong to this group.

Director Chen said with some worry: "Does the Chen family in Xiapi send such a person with the intention of making things difficult for me, the Chen family in Pengcheng?"

Chen Luo said disapprovingly: "This is not the first time that the Nanzhi has put us in trouble. This time there is no Taigong to control it. Maybe they thought they could send a lawless person here, but the Nanzhi certainly didn't expect that, my seventh brother It will suddenly rise. From now on, the Seventh Brother will be in charge of the Chen family in Pengcheng, and every one from the southern branch will be destroyed. Let's see who dares to be arrogant!" When he talked about the excitement, he almost laughed out loud.

But Chen Xun immediately poured cold water on him: "Didn't Chen Zhi go outside the city? He probably won't be back for a while. Why do you think your uncle asked Chen Yi to go to Shulinzhai? He realized that Chen Hua's visit was not good. I went to Shulinzhai to bring in reinforcements, but I ended up in vain."

When he said this, Chen Luo's expression immediately fell.Director Chen suddenly asked, "Could it be that seventh brother knew that Chen Hua was coming and wanted to avoid it?"

"Brother, what do you mean?" Chen Luo was unhappy when he heard this. "You mean, my seventh brother is afraid of that Chen Hua and deliberately avoids him?"

Director Chen shook his head and explained: "I was thinking that with the seventh brother's ability and his current status in the Chen Mansion, if he is really not in Shulinzhai, even if he is outside the city, it is impossible to notify him. Difficult, but when Chen Yi came back just now, he just returned to his life and did not plan to go out of the city to inform, I think this may be the intention of the mansion."

"The more I hear what you say, the more confused I become?" Chen Luo frowned and vaguely grasped something. He turned to look at his father and saw that the latter looked pleased, "Father, do you understand?"

"You should learn from your brother," Chen Xun looked like he hated iron. "Think about it, Chen Hua is a person who has made a name for himself after all, and he has a seventh-grade hometown. Although Chen Zhi and Lu Ying Lun Tao is undefeated, but the foundation is still shallow. It is the early stage of raising hopes, and Chen Hua is about to become successful. I heard that he will be an official soon. Put these two people together. If there is a conflict, Chen Hua will lose. , it's just a loss of reputation, and if Chen Zhi is at a disadvantage, the momentum he had accumulated before will not be stable."

At the time of Wuming, those with bare feet were not afraid of those who wore shoes, and lost nothing if they lost, but if they were attacked in the initial stage, the previous accumulation may fall short.

Chen Luo's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter: "Is that so? Then why did the uncle ask someone to call Brother Qi?"

Chen Xun stroked his beard and said: "You have to bark, otherwise it will be too traceable. But since Chen Zhi is not here, we can just take advantage of the situation. Besides, let me first explore Chen Hua's intention and find out what he wants." Let’s talk to Chen Zhi about the purpose so that he can make preparations in advance.”

"My seventh brother is not such a person. There is absolutely no possibility of escaping from the battlefield!" Chen Luo was a little unconvinced. Back then, he and Chen Zhi were gambling everywhere. Many times, Chen Zhi was as stubborn as he knew he was losing. Now, although his character has changed, The authenticity certainly remains.

As the father and son talked, they arrived in front of the main hall. Seeing the situation inside, they all stopped talking.

There were several people sitting in the hall. Except for Chen Chi, Chen Xun and Chen Yuan had already arrived. But the most eye-catching person was the young man in rich clothes sitting opposite Chen Xun and Chen Yuan.

Xia Pi Chen family, Chen Hua.

Chen Xun keenly sensed that something was wrong with the situation in the room. Logically speaking, no matter how dissatisfied the two parties were, they should exchange a few words with each other despite their bloodline names. However, the situation inside now seemed to be looking at each other. The confrontation was tense.

"I'm late, I'm late." Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted, came in without taking a seat, but smiled at Chen Hua and said: "This is Chen Hua's nephew. As expected, he is a talented man with wealth and wealth. I have also been famous for my appearance for a long time. Director Chen and Chen Luo, come here and give your brothers a greeting."

Director Chen and Chen Luo entered the hall and were about to greet them. Unexpectedly, Chen Hua waved his hand directly and said, "No need."

As soon as these words came out, Director Chen and Chen Luo were shocked.

This is too rude!
Chen Hua stood up and sighed: "I thought that this time, I would meet the most outstanding person of the Chen family in Pengcheng. I didn't expect that person to leave the city at this time. With Chen Zhi's status, there should be servants by his side at all times. , and coincided with the situation last night, why did people leave the city as soon as I went to the door? Did you say that you were going to see the ethnology? I don’t believe that someone would think of the ethnology on the spur of the moment. What is the ethnology of the Chen family in Pengcheng? Pi also heard about it."

"What do you mean? You mean my seventh brother was afraid of you and ran away?" Chen Luo blurted out these words with a brow raised.

These days, relying on his closeness to Chen Zhi, he has a tendency to speak freely. In addition, Chen Luo is not convinced when his father and elder brother just talked about Chen Zhi. Now that he sees Chen Hua being arrogant and rude, he can't hold it back. , and immediately refuted it.

When he opened his mouth, everyone from Chen Chi secretly thought that something was wrong.

Just now, Chen Hua mentioned Chen Zhi when he arrived. When the news about Shulinzhai came, he was vaguely sarcastic and did not hide his hostility. Chen Luo's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

"Is not it?"

As everyone knows, Chen Hua's preparations yesterday were in vain, and his heart was full of anger. He knew very well that the incident in the inn could not be hidden, and once it got out, it would be a laughing stock. Passing Chen Zhi proves that the Chen family in Pengcheng is poor in academics, so what happened yesterday is not a stain.

The results, can dictate the process.

It just so happened that he officially came to visit today, but Chen Zhi couldn't come for an excuse. Chen Hua felt that this was God's help. When Chen Luo in front of him retorted, he took advantage of the situation and smiled and said: "In that case, we might as well go to the place of clan learning." Take a look, let me see the family background of the Chen family in Pengcheng, and make friends with the number one talented scholar in Pengcheng!"
