Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 32 Betrayed?
After the Wang Chuan incident, the Chen family was quite peaceful for several days.

If there was anything unusual, it was that the famous ridiculous young master suddenly went out of his way to go to the bookstore every day. He stayed there all day long, eating several meals there, and sometimes reading all night long.Sometimes, young master Chen Zhi was seen practicing swordsmanship in the garden with a wooden sword.

For a time, the entire Chen family was amazed, and even several branch families had heard about it.

"He's really good at pretending. He's not reading. He's clearly doing it for others to see. Others may not be able to see through it, but they can't hide it from me. Even fools know it's useless to just cram in. With his ability, how many sentences can he remember? How much can you understand? I'm just waiting for his true colors to be revealed. I've already heard the news. In seven days, the screening will begin, and the news should reach the house in the next two days. "

In his own house, Chen Yun was sitting in the main seat. Hearing the rumors, he sneered again and again.

His house was slightly smaller than Chen Zhi's house that was burned down, but its layout and furnishings were far superior. There were many servants inside and outside the house.

Chen Yun's father, Chen Da, has also passed away. In order to maintain the house, he really put a lot of effort into it, sometimes even by any means.But even so, the family's remaining wealth is shrinking day by day, unable to make ends meet, and is about to decline, so they have no choice but to make money. The few acres of Chen Zhi's family's land are the most important target at the moment. Only by getting it can they tide over the difficulties.

"Master, the screening you are talking about is about Guijing Academy? That is really a happy event." Xu Fang stood in front of Chen Yun, and as he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice, "I also have good news coming from my side. This time The screening questions are also clear.”

"Oh?" Chen Yun suddenly became energetic, "Did you get it?"

"It's not there yet," Xu Fang rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "but it's already a little bit sketchy. It's only been in the past few days. I promise to deliver it to you, young master, as soon as I get it."

"Since you haven't succeeded yet, don't take credit for it yet," Chen Yun's face suddenly darkened, "Don't let your guard down on Chen Zhi's side either. I suspect that the third elder Xu Zhi will let him know, and there may be something unexpected from him. reward."

"The young master is still thoughtful." Xu Fang was not angry even after being scolded, and immediately flattered Chen Yun, making Chen Yun feel comfortable. The latter was about to continue to show off his "far-sightedness" when he was slapped by a voice outside the door. Break——

"Master, someone from the second master's family is here. Please make preparations and go with him to meet the second master. The second master also asked that person to send a message, saying that today's dinner is going to be a dinner, and talented people from several families will be there, so you can't take it lightly. .”

This is when the concierge came to inform him. What he said was what Chen Yun cared about the most in the past two days, that he was going to visit Zhang Mansion.

Chen Yun suddenly couldn't care about anything else, and his expression became solemn.

The influence of the Zhang family in Pengcheng County is not small. The grandpa of the Zhang family was once an official to a doctor of Taixue, and supervised in the Imperial College. Not to mention the peaches and plums are all over the world, but there are also some officials in the court who are his students, so this old grandpa returned from his official post. After being born in a rural area, the right to speak in the local area is not low.

However, if we simply talk about family background, the Zhang family is slightly weaker than other aristocratic families, otherwise they would not have only one doctor of Taixue.

On the other hand, Zhang Taigong’s family has many daughters but few sons. However, Zhang Taigong has a good taste in people, and his daughters have all married well. This time, all the families in Pengcheng went to the banquet because an uncle from the Zhang family threatened to The daughter of the Zhang family came back to visit her relatives.

"Young Master, this Zhang Mansion banquet is for the Zuo Pavilion Master, right?" Seeing Chen Yun's attention, Xu Fang asked.

"Yes, that is Zuo Yuan Zuo Guanzhu. His family has recently risen because of a world-famous celebrity. From the Zhongxia family to today's situation, family studies have also developed into private schools, which is admirable." Chen Yun spoke. , showing a look of longing, "Turn clan studies into private schools, which will be of no harm to us and other big clans. It will not only improve the country's quality, but also influence many people. The foundation will become more and more stable. When I rise in the future, I will definitely With this goal in mind, we strive to turn the Chen family’s education into an academy and demonstrate the name of education!”

Xu Fang echoed: "I heard that the Zuo family behind Zuo Guanzhu had a noble concubine. The famous person mentioned by the young master must be Mr. Zuo Si who attracted Luoyang Zhigui." "Yes, it seems that you have done your homework too. Yes, Mr. Zuo Si is really a role model for our generation, as a famous person should be! If it weren't for him, the Zuo family would never be what it is today!" The look of longing on Chen Yun's face became even stronger.

It turns out that Mr. Zuo Si has indeed had an extraordinary experience. He was an unknown person with a low family background, but he wrote a shocking article. The article was ridiculed by many famous people and celebrities, just because Zuo Sixiang was not of high moral character, not famous enough, and his family background was not high enough. Although he was not outstanding, the tone of his articles was not trivial, so he was criticized for it. However, he was still a knowledgeable person. Under the praise of several great scholars and celebrities, Zuo Si soared to the sky and became a famous person in the world from an unknown person.

At that time, people all over the world were after Zuo Si's articles and rushed to copy them. As a result, there was not enough paper to copy the articles, so the price increased!
To be Tian Shelang in the morning, to ascend to the Hall of the Son of Heaven in the evening!
Although Zuo Si did not really ascend to the Emperor's Hall, he climbed to the top in one step. Such a dramatic life has become a scene that many young literati and aristocratic family members yearn for.

"Okay, I'll go to the second uncle's house first. You can do what you want. Chen Zhi will investigate again. We're almost ready, so let's take action." Suppressing the yearning in his heart, Chen Yun said a few simple words , looked at the time, no longer delayed, assigned the errand, and followed the messenger to Chenbian Mansion.

Chen Bian's house is not far from the Chen family's ancestral home. It was originally a villa of Mrs. Xu. After Chen Bian got it, he repaired and expanded it. Considering the reputation and influence, he did not dare to exceed the scale of the ancestral home, but Among the sons of the Chen family, he is also second to none.

Even though she has been here many times, every time Chen Yun comes back, she feels sincerely envious and proud when looking at this magnificent building.

"This is what people from aristocratic families should be like, and sooner or later I will be like this too!"

With heroic thoughts, Chen Yun entered Master Chen's house and made some calculations in her heart.

"I have read some books in the past few days. I thought that even Chen Zhi can read them. I should also read them easily. Because I can't calm down, the results are unsatisfactory. I have to find a way to win tonight's dinner at Zhang's house. Xu The few poems that Fang prepared for me are just right for use. For this kind of family dinner, the juniors will recite poems and write poems about their aspirations and romance. It is not a big problem. As long as the poems are good and can be spread, others will help me fill in many details... …”

Worried about gains and losses, Chen Yun came to the main hall, where Chen Bian was ready to go.

"Leaving now?" Chen Yun was a little surprised. He thought he had to wait here to make preparations, but turned to look at the sky, "There is still some time before the dinner."

"The Zhang family just sent someone here and told us to go there half an hour early. Other families don't have to go so early. In addition, we have to take a detour. Something happened to a store under my name. Let's go and take a look first. "Chen Bian's expression was as calm as ever, making Chen Yun unable to guess what he was thinking. "How have you been studying these days? The screening is coming, are you confident?"

"Back to my second uncle, I have been staying at home for the past few days. I have been preparing with all my strength and read a lot of books." Chen Yun is experienced and can tell lies without blinking an eye. "When the time comes, I will do my best to not fall into the Chen family. Even with our reputation, we won’t let that absurd man Chen Zhi bring discredit to our clan.”

"That's good," Chen Bian said, frowning slightly, "In addition, there is no need to be too harsh on Chen Zhi in the future. No one is perfect, and he is not without merit. You two should support each other and review your knowledge. You can also try to share your experiences. After all, Guijing's quota is limited and we are all members of the same clan. We should work together and don't let me hear any bad news about you in the future."

"Huh?" Chen Yun was stunned, suddenly having a bad feeling, and feeling a little panicked, "The second uncle's attitude is not quite right. He seems to be letting Chen Zhi go. Could it be that he has been affected by what he has been studying so hard recently? ?Want to support him instead?"

"I'll tell you on the way." Chen Bian glanced at Chen Yun, thought for a while, and decided to reveal some of the information he had to Chen Yun. This was one of the reasons why he left early.

　Thanks to "lida is intoxicated and knows no way back", "Mo Xiao turns into a butterfly" and "Obsidian Tail" for their rewards!
