Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 154 Zhuge invites you
"The power of Zhuge Yan is really amazing. Brother Qi, do you think there will be a day like this in the future? When someone arrives, everyone from top to bottom, from the county guard to the common people, will greet him respectfully?"

On the way back, Chen Luo still looked longing and nostalgic, smacking his mouth and his eyes full of yearning.

Chen Xi was listening and couldn't help laughing: "Bago, when you were at the gate of the city, you said that a man was born like this, as if you wanted to replace him. Why did you ask about my brother when you came back? You didn't want to Come on, will you ever have such a day?"

"Hey, I was so shocked by that scene just now that I couldn't speak without thinking. Think about it, your eighth brother and I are, to put it bluntly, a playboy, and I don't think about how to make progress. Will there be such a day? Or seventh brother has a better chance? , he is now a famous scholar in Pengcheng, and his reputation covers half of Xuzhou. Even the governor sent people to invite him. In the future, he may not be as good as Zhuge Yan."

But at the end of this, Chen Luo's voice gradually became quieter, because he also realized that Zhuge Yan's power was not only his own strength, but the embodiment of the influence of the entire Zhuge family in the New Han Dynasty. Zhuge Yan was determined not to receive such courtesy.

With Chen Zhi's qualifications and foundation, if he wanted to surpass Zhuge Yan, he would not be able to rely solely on his reputation. There are so many famous people who might have the prefect or county magistrate personally come out of the city to greet him when he arrives at a place.

Chen Luo also wanted to get this, so he said a few words, made a fool of himself, and quickly changed the subject, then asked: "Seventh brother, when Zhuge Yan arrives, there will definitely be a banquet. Pengcheng has some status and fame. Everyone is going to participate, but have you been invited?"

Chen Zhi replied: "We won't know until the evening. Zhuge Yan has just arrived. During the day, he will definitely be with the county governor, magistrate and other official figures. He will hold a banquet. It will have to be after that. It will take a few days. .”

"It makes sense. Seventh Brother is very knowledgeable." Chen Luo laughed twice and put down his longing. He knew very well that the scene when Zhuge Yan arrived had basically nothing to do with him. Even if he worked hard towards that goal, he would not be able to do anything. It is impossible to achieve results, it is better to live a leisurely life, eating and drinking, which is more practical.

Sure enough, what happened next was just as Chen Zhi had guessed. Zhuge Yan spent the whole day dealing with the governor and others. When the heir of the Zhuge family arrived, there were too many people and forces who wanted to contact him and made trouble. However, neither party was as direct as the government, so Xu Hui and others had the upper hand.

That night, Xu Hui personally came forward and held a banquet in Wobing Tower to entertain Zhuge Yan and his party.

Immediately afterwards, the next day, all the major families in the city sent out invitations one after another, inviting Zhuge Yan to their home. However, in the end, the descendant of Wuhou did not accept any of the invitations. Instead, he sent invitations widely, saying that he would be at home in three days. There will be a banquet in Wobing Tower, and all the major families will be invited to come and communicate.

Zhuge Yan came from afar, so he was a guest, and many families in Pengcheng were hosts. Now the guests are hosting a banquet, and inviting the host may seem strange, but it is an appropriate move. In this way, no one can be offended, otherwise Zhuge Yan No matter which house he went to, he would inevitably make other families murmur in their hearts.

This is exactly what he did when he was in Liuxian County.

Liu County is also the boundary of Pengcheng County. It is located on the edge and has several aristocratic families. Because it is located at the junction of several states, the families in the county have connections with the big families in the surrounding states. Zhuge Yan held a banquet in the middle to allow all forces to They can all come into contact with each other and restrain and balance each other, which is undoubtedly the safest choice.

"Seventh Young Master, I was invited by Mr. Zhuge and asked me to come and inform you that you must go there when the time comes."

The Chen family was also invited to the Zhuge Banquet, and Chen Chi immediately sent people to Chenzhuang to talk to Chen Zhi.

"I understand. Tell your uncle that I will definitely go that day." Chen Zhi nodded, and then the messenger left.

As soon as the others left, Chen Zhi began to think deeply, thinking about Zhuge Yan.

"As soon as Zhuge Yan came, he caused quite a stir, and everyone in Pengcheng paid attention to it. He mentioned my name before, and there may be a separate invitation, but considering the impact, it will probably be after the family banquet. Unless he really has more precise information."

Chen Zhi deduced based on the situation and came up with a few ideas. Not long after, the concierge came over to report that a servant who claimed to be Zhuge's servant had sent Zhuge Yan's invitation.

"So fast? From this point of view, Zhuge Yan probably has the information about Zhu Shou. Otherwise, even the article "The Master's Statement" is not worthy of his pretentiousness."

As soon as his thoughts changed, Chen Zhi ordered someone to come over at the same time.

Soon a thin man came to Shi Shi. Although this man was dressed as a servant, he had a certain bearing. When he saw Chen Zhi, he was respectful and polite, neither humble nor overbearing. After sending Zhuge Yan's invitation, he briefly introduced: "My young master invites Mr. Chen to meet at Wobing Tower in two days. I would like to ask you for advice."

"There will be a banquet in three days, but I was invited the day before. Once this news gets out, I don't know what other families will think." After hearing this, Chen Zhi realized the meaning behind it, but he was not afraid. He nodded in agreement and smiled. He said: "I don't dare to ask for advice. The name of the Zhuge family is well known to me in Pengcheng. It is a blessing to be able to meet Zhuge for a while. When you get back, say hello to Mr. Zhuge for me."

The family member responded repeatedly, then took his leave and left.

Seeing his figure disappearing outside the courtyard, Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "Whether it's the servants of the Wuyuan Wang family or the Zhuge family, there are outstanding people among their servants. From a certain aspect, this It also reflects the family’s heritage, and the Chen family still has a long way to go in this regard.”

Just at this time, the figure of the book boy Chen Wu flashed outside the door. He was holding a book and reading it.This little book boy originally had a low status in the Chen family. Because he followed Chen Zhi, his status has skyrocketed. Not only is his life in the Chen family getting better and better, but the treatment of his father and relatives has also been improved.

Now, in Chen Zhi's house, he not only does not have to do chores, but also has time to study. This is also because Chen Wu is Chen Zhi's scholar. If he cannot learn well, it will be an embarrassment to his master. Therefore, whether it is him or Chen Zhi, Everyone is promoting the development of this matter.

"Development also takes time."

With this thought, Chen Zhi glanced at the invitation in his hand.

This invitation is not an invitation to a banquet, but an invitation to talk and talk. In fact, it is a part of the communication and contact between celebrities in this era.

"Before participating in the screening, I heard for the first time that a noble person had arrived. After I found out that it was Zhuge Yan, I heard many people say that this person had a special liking for Legalism. There were many young people who were traveling with me, and they all talked about Legalism. Master, I'm afraid Zhuge Yan is not the only person this invitation will face."

As he thought about it, the figure of Zhao Xing appeared in his mind.

"In addition, there are probably a lot of old friends, and I don't know what these people are like. The situation when I started the business was completely different from now."

As he thought about it, he recalled many scenes from the past, and many long-buried memories emerged bit by bit, lingering in his mind and unable to let go for a long time.

Time passed, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In these two days, Pengcheng County was like a world of ice and fire.

On the one hand, the people in the city endured searches by the government and many helpers, all of whom were looking for the figure of the thief leader Wang Mi. On the other hand, because of Zhuge Yan's arrival, the aristocratic families, nobles, and officials in the city kept searching. I went to visit and prepared generous gifts.

It is worth mentioning that as the search progressed, many rumors emerged in the city. Because of Wang Mi’s past evil reputation, the name used by the government in this search was not to search for Wang Mi to prevent people from panicking, but to There were other excuses, but as time went by, relevant rumors still appeared, some true and some false, and panic gradually spread.

However, this situation only spread among the people and did not disturb the upper class nobles at all. The topic they were concerned about was not the traces of Wang Mi, but the various deeds surrounding Zhuge Yan.

Because of Zhuge Yan's arrival, even the limelight and news about Chen Zhi gradually subsided. Even if there was still news, it was all related to Zhuge Yan. For example, Zhuge Yan invited Chen Zhi to Wo Bing Tower to discuss metaphysics one day in advance. The matter of Tao was exposed by some evildoer, causing everyone to discuss it.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be hidden in the first place, but Chen Zhi, who was a popular figure in the past, got involved with Zhuge Yan, who is currently famous and in the limelight in Pengcheng, and immediately became the talk of many people. They all speculated about the meaning behind this meeting.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi's "Shi Shuo" not only vindicated his name, but also became the pride of the elders in Pengcheng. Therefore, no matter whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, there was no dissatisfaction or jealousy after hearing the news that Zhuge Yan invited him. On the contrary, there is a sense of pride. In their view, it is an honor and something to be proud of for a young celebrity from their hometown to be favored and invited by Zhuge Yan!

Even Chen Luo, after hearing the news, ran over excitedly, dancing and looking like he was honored.

Only Chen Zhi looked as usual, not to mention Zhuge Yan, his famous ancestor whom he could often see in those days.

In this special atmosphere, Chen Zhi arrived at Wobing Tower again. This time it had nothing to do with the Langya Wang family. What was waiting for him were the descendants of Langya Zhuge.

The ox cart stopped, Chen Zhi walked down, and the little book boy Chen Wu followed immediately. A master and a servant came to the door of Wobinglou. The first thing they saw was Zhao Xing, who had met once. He greeted him with a smile on his face.

Next to Zhao Xing, Chen Zhi also saw a figure with a slight outline of an old friend, but he was a burly man, looking at himself with squinted eyes.

When Zhao Xing arrived, he immediately pointed at the burly man and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you to him. This is my good friend, Guan Xian Guan Wenjian."
