Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 37: Knowing that I am looking for the Dharma, all the books are passed down to me, so that I can’t read with peace of mind.

Chen Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the little book boy.

He had a clear understanding of the mind of this book boy. If he wanted to climb up in the other class, he would not only rely on his own efforts, but also take into account the limitations of history. Specifically, he had to rely on Chen Zhi's improvement in status.

"Little thing," after thinking about it, Chen Zhi felt that he should comfort him a little. After all, he is his book boy, and he can also be regarded as a kind of facade in the future. "If you want to contact all sides, you must lay a good foundation. If the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake." Shake, otherwise people will ask you a question to understand the depth of your knowledge. If you can answer it once or twice, but if you do it too many times, your foundation will be hollowed out, then you will have a bad reputation. So, wait until I introduce the legalist knowledge I have almost understood it, and it’s not too late to get in touch, besides, if you want to spread your reputation in this world, you don’t have to appear in person, huh?”

As he spoke, Chen Zhi's expression changed slightly. He noticed that the Baijia lotus tube in his heart suddenly added a lot of fame gold liquid, filling the first five-star scale grid to almost full.

"This is……"

Chen Zhi just thought about it and understood.

"To fill a grid, you need to be famous in the streets and alleys. Calculating the time, it was probably after a few letters I wrote that the influence began to spread. But the sudden increase of so many, maybe it was discovered by a few people with high status. , This kind of person is involved in a wide range of people, has a wide range of friends, and his words and deeds are speculated, which is equivalent to being famous in the streets. Looking at this trend, either today or tomorrow, this grid will be full."

Here, Chen Zhi analyzed the situation. On the other side, the little book boy Chen Wu seemed to understand what Chen Zhi said, and was very confused in his heart: "What do you mean by this, young master? You don't have to show up to promote your reputation? How can you promote it?" "What Chen Hua said makes sense. If you show up, others will know about you. How can you become famous if you don't show up?"

He was still thinking when he heard a knock on the door from outside. Then the door of the bookstore creaked open. A man who looked like a concierge walked in. Without waiting for Chen Zhi to ask, he handed over his hand and said, "Master Zhi." , the servant of Mr. Xu, the third elder, came to the house and said that he had something to do and asked to see the young master. The eldest master already knows about it and asked you to come forward to receive it. "

When the servants of San Lao's family came over with San Lao's orders, Chen Mansion naturally had to treat them seriously.

"Oh? Where is he?" Chen Zhi frowned slightly and was about to get up when he heard the concierge say again: "Young Master Zhi, you don't have to go there. The third old servant knew that you were studying in the bookstore, so he came directly. He also brought I came over with a few books and said I wanted to lend them to you."

"Bring the book here and lend it to me?" When Chen Zhi heard this, his thoughts changed and he vaguely guessed something, "Well, let's invite him over."

"The person is right outside the door." The concierge said and withdrew, and soon led a servant in Tsing Yi in. The servant came in with a small basket in his arms and came to Chen Zhi and bowed respectfully.

The concierge at the side was puzzled for a while: "Why is this servant so respectful to Young Master Zhi? When I met the elder just now, he was not so solemn. It's strange! Even if Young Master Zhi has changed his mind recently, it won't make the third servant feel so respectful. Do you want to bow your head? Is the rumor true that Young Master Zhi has a relationship with San Lao? "

On the other side, the servant had already made his purpose clear.

"Send a book of Legalism for me to read?" Chen Zhi looked a little strange when he heard this.

This Xu Zhi can be considered a public official after all. Chen Zhi had relied on Yidao Guanwuwan to know that this third elder would also play the role of an examiner in the soon-to-be screening. An examiner would send reference materials to candidates. What do you think? Nothing is right.

You must know that in this era, everyone has limited learning, and the questions must be selected from familiar content. The examiner has sent all the books he usually reads. It is conservatively estimated that a certain test question will be in the words of this book.

"My master is close to the young master and always cares about the young master's studies." After meeting Chen Zhi, the servant kept a very low profile, which made the concierge and book boy Chen Wu more and more confused. "Today, the master and all the old gentlemen During the conversation, he even took the initiative to praise the young master. By the way, my master mentioned it a few days ago, saying that the young master promised him to come and visit, but he has never seen him."

Chen Zhi had already found some clues and said: "This is an oversight on my part. I have been busy with a lot of things recently and I haven't had any free time. I will definitely pay him a visit someday."

"No need to worry, no need to worry," the servant of the Xu family said quickly, "My master also knows about the recent troubles of the young master. He said that there is no need to rush for a while, as long as he remembers it. He also said that the screening is coming, and it will only take a few days. The young master must not distract him. It is better to study things carefully, and these books are sent here for this purpose, hoping to help the young master." As he spoke, he opened the basket in his hand, revealing several shabby books.

Chen Zhi took a closer look and found that the footers of several books were slightly curled. Although they had been maintained, they were obviously difficult to smooth out because they had been turned over too many times.

After a cursory glance, he saw several articles from "Han Feizi" and "Shang Jun Shu", most of which were not included by the Chen family. For Chen Zhi, it was a timely blessing.

"What a timely gift, thank Mr. Xu for me." Chen Zhi smiled and thanked him, and the servant said with a smile that he would take the young master's thanks back to his master, and so on. He also said some flattering words, emphasizing the relationship between the three elders and Mr. Xu. Chen Zhi's friendship and the fact that he recommended Chen Zhi were then left.

However, those last words made Chen Wu and the concierge stunned for a while.Good guy, according to what this servant said, the three elders really spared no effort for Chen Zhi, sending books, making introductions, and speaking kind words in front of many big shots. What kind of spirit is this?
"Master, what's going on?" Chen Wu, the book boy, looked confused.

The concierge also walked slowly, turning back three times every step. He was obviously very curious. He also heard that this ridiculous young master had changed his mind recently, but he couldn't make such a big leap all of a sudden, right?

"Maybe my reputation has begun to spread," Chen Zhi stretched out his fingers and tapped twice on the table. "It's a good thing that someone lends me books. If I can read a few more Legalist books, I will be more confident in future selections." , I was still worried that the Chen family didn’t have enough books, but now it’s better, I’ll give you a pillow when I feel sleepy.”

"Can you really become famous by sitting at home?" Chen Wu became more and more suspicious. He didn't believe it at first, but after experiencing this incident, his thoughts were shaken.

After hearing this, the concierge shook his head slightly. He didn't think it was the reason for fame. He thought it might have something to do with the Chen family's regard for Chen Zhi and the eldest master's change of opinion about Chen Zhi, but he left with satisfaction.

The bookstore became quiet again. Chen Zhi was sorting out some newly acquired Legalist books, while Chen Wu was waiting nearby, helping from time to time.

About half an hour later, there was another knock on the door, but this time the door was not pushed open all at once, but the concierge's voice came through the wooden door——

"Master Zhi, the servant of Peng Mansion is here to see you. He is already here."

"Someone comes to see my young master again?" Chen Wu was stunned, and stopped moving his hands, with a look of astonishment on his face, "It's the Peng family this time? This is a big family in Pengcheng!" Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Zhi again, but the latter His expression was as usual, as if he had expected it.

Chen Zhi closed the book in his hand and said to the door: "Let someone come in."

After the voice fell, the concierge opened the door and walked in together with a tall servant. The servant was also holding a package in his hand. From the outline, it could be seen that it was several books stacked on top of each other.

"I met Mr. Chen Zhi. I didn't know that he was studying in the Chen Mansion before, so I went to Shulinzhai first and bumped into Mr. Chen's family. I hope you can forgive me." When the servant saw Chen Zhi, he bowed and saluted, and apologized. After Chen Zhi understood, he added: "My grandpa and Chen Taigong are family friends. They are very concerned about the descendants of the Chen family. I heard that my husband was going to participate in the Guijing selection, so I specially lent me a few books to read with my husband." He opened the package and offered it with both hands.

"Peng Taigong is interested. The younger generation has also admired Peng Gong for a long time." Chen Zhi stood up and took it. He was neither humble nor arrogant, but his heart was like a mirror. Why did he care about the younger generations of the Chen family? Why did he care about the younger generations of the Chen family? The Chen family has stopped accepting it. Besides, Chen Zhi Yun also participated in the screening. Will anyone send him a book?
But in this world, it is a basic skill to be inconsistent between appearance and appearance. Chen Zhi exchanged a few words with Peng's servant, and they had a good conversation. The latter quickly left.

"Master, why...why did this person come?" Chen Wu and others left and asked again.

Chen Zhi quietly comprehended the fortune-telling tubes of hundreds of families, and he made up his mind. He confirmed his previous guess and said, "Perhaps some family held a banquet and summoned the dignitaries of Pengcheng. They happened to talk about me and make me famous."

Become famous again!Is it really famous?
At the door of the bookstore, the porter reluctantly left with a solemn expression on his face. He already seemed a little convinced. He also knew that the Zhang family was hosting a banquet today.

Chen Wuze thought of Chen Hua's master Chen Yun. Didn't he just attend some dinner party?

"But at the Poetry Society dinner, only those who went there became famous. How could anyone become famous who didn't go? And it's still early, and it's not the time for the banquet!" Doubts accumulated in Chen Wu's heart, and his expression complex.When he came back to his senses, Chen Zhi had already sorted out the newly acquired books. Chen Wu glanced over and saw "Shenzi" and several other articles, and couldn't help but take a breath.

These Legalist books involve not only Legalism, but also Han Codes, etc. They are all rare fine works. They are not widely circulated among the people and cannot be obtained by even big families. Chen Wu has only heard of them. As for its name, I only really saw the real thing today.

After sorting it out, Chen Zhi did not look through it immediately, but shook his head and said: "It seems that I can't study at ease today."

"What's wrong? There are so many books, why can't you feel at ease?" Chen Wu, the book boy, was confused when he heard this. Just when he was about to ask the reason, the concierge's voice came from outside the door again——

"Young Master, I would like to see you as a servant of the Zhang Mansion. Please decide if you want to see me now. I am already waiting outside." This time, the porter did not dare to make any mistakes, and his voice was extremely respectful.

　Thanks to "I don't want nicknames", "Silly Baby Xi", "Obsidian Tail", "Master of the Holy Demon Palace", "Jingfengchuixue", "Drinking the lips to bring purple blood", "Decade-old bookworm" and "Burial" Empty” reward!
