Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 50 Some people are happy and some are sad

There was another person who was equally beaming, it was the little book boy Chen Wu.

He got up early as usual, ready to go to the bookstore to wait, but he didn't expect someone from the backyard to come over suddenly, telling him that he didn't have to go there for the time being, and he should rest in peace.

Just when Chen Wu was confused, several other friends came over one after another and congratulated him - these friends of his were all trained as book boys, and they were assigned to live with their respective masters. There is no need to live in the mansion like myself.

The masters of these book boys were different from the Chen Zhi brothers. They all had spies in the ancestral home and were well-informed. They knew about the dinner at the Zhang Mansion that made Chen Zhi famous.

Since they had not seen it with their own eyes, the news was limited to the upper echelons of the gentry in the county, and it only lasted one night. These young masters of the Chen family did not understand it in detail enough, and were mostly surprised. However, in the eyes of the book boys, this was a huge event, so they all Come to congratulate Chen Wu.

"Chen Wu, your young master is so talented. His calligraphy is excellent and he is praised by the elders."

"It is said that they all started fighting over the calligraphy."

"My young master said that the fight was a bit exaggerated. The elders are highly respected and versatile. They have never seen anything before. How could they start a dispute over such a small matter?"

"That's right, but to be able to spread such words, you can see how powerful it is!"

Listening to this, Chen Wu naturally grinned and said, "This is not a lie. I was present yesterday, and I was the one who sent that calligraphy."

"Ah? You sent the Chen things!"

"You saw it with your own eyes. We would also like to go to such a grand event, but it's a pity that we can't get there."

"Chen Wu, hurry up and tell us, what kind of people are present, and whether the Peng family's children have the demeanor in the rumors! How about the poems of the Liu family brothers? What good poems did you write yesterday?"

"There are several other old ladies, what kind of characters are they? Describe them to us..."

Seeing this scene, Chen Wu talked about it happily, telling what he had seen and heard last night, causing the friends to exclaim from time to time.

"I didn't expect Master Zhi to study hard behind closed doors every day, and I didn't see anything wrong with him. If you send this piece of writing, his reputation will spread all of a sudden. It won't be long before everyone in Pengcheng knows about it."

"This is the reincarnation of Master Zhou Chu. Young Master Zhi was a bit ridiculous in the past, but now he devotes himself to studying and doesn't care about foreign affairs, and he is so majestic. On the other hand..." The book boy stopped suddenly in the middle of his statement, apparently thinking of something.

The other book boys looked the same, looking a little embarrassed, and they all looked in one direction.

Chen Wu was listening to it, but when he saw the appearance of the crowd, he followed the trend and saw a disappointed Chen Hua, who was sitting in a corner, muttering something.

Yesterday, before the dinner started, Chen Yun was expelled and forcibly sent back to his house. Although the people in Chen Yun's house tried to cover it up, they couldn't cover it up. Now many people in the Chen house know about it and there are a lot of discussions. , Chen Yu couldn't stop himself from saying a word and almost said it.

There were already many servants of the Chen family who wanted to compare the two young masters and figure out how to deal with them in the future. However, as soon as the Zhang family dinner was over, the situation immediately became clear——

On one side, he didn't even leave home, but he made a splash at Zhang's family banquet, and was about to become famous; on the other side, he went there excitedly, but was driven away without even saying a few words, and he was dejected. After returning, she will become a laughing stock in the house privately.

In this way, Chen's servants also made their own judgments.

Even Chen Wu's attitude has changed. He usually sees Chen Hua being arrogant, but now he is silent, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

Thinking of yesterday, Chen Hua also brazenly said that his young master traveled around the world and had a good reputation. Chen Wu suddenly had a thought in his mind and followed Chen's words and said: "I asked my young master yesterday why he didn't go around more? It's good to be famous. The young master taught me that if you can study with peace of mind, you can naturally become famous. I guess this is what famous people did in ancient times. By the way, Chen Hua, what did your young master say?" After all, he was still young, so he felt proud. Can't help but be competitive.

"My young master," Chen Hua raised his head and forced a smile, "my young master is feeling unwell and came back early yesterday. It's a pity that he missed this grand event."

………………

"I am also angry! I am also angry!"

In Chen Yun's house, the fourth major general of the Chen family banged the table loudly. One of his palms was red and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not slept all night because he was tossing and turning about the dinner at Zhang's house.

As a result, at dawn, Xu Fang brought news of Zhang's dinner party, which made him so angry that he couldn't even eat.

Chen Yun came back in despair and didn't catch anything, so that was it. Chen Zhi didn't even go, but stirred up the situation. How could he accept this?

"The entire dinner was spent talking about Chen Zhi and praising him? How could Peng Lin, Liu Miao and others be willing to do so?" Chen Yun gritted his teeth and his eyes almost burst into flames. He was persuaded to come back midway, even though he was ill. As a rhetoric, if spread out, it will still become a laughing stock, a supporting role and a buffoon at the dinner party, and a stepping stone for the children of the Peng and Liu families.

However, even the children of the Peng family and the Liu family failed to become the protagonists, but instead served as a foil to Chen Zhi's paintings. Doesn't that mean that Chen Yun has become a stepping stone for him, and there is a big difference between him and Chen Zhi?
Tolerable or unbearable!
"Of course they are not convinced," Xu Fang said to himself as if he did not see Chen Yun's expression, "However, I heard that even Peng Lin could only recognize Chen Zhi's calligraphy when he saw it. By the way, yesterday during the day , several big families sent Chen Zhi legalist books and asked him to study them carefully. In my humble opinion, this is too biased. After all, you are also Chen Zhi’s brother and you have to participate in the selection. How can you Favoring one over the other? Master, I wish I could write you a few more poems so that you can compete with them, although you..."

"enough!"

Chen Yun shouted loudly, clapped her hands on the table, then waved her sleeves and swept the cups and saucers on the table to the ground, breaking them into pieces. The servants around were frightened and rushed over to clean up, but Chen Yun scolded them angrily: " Get out! Get out! They are all trash! Get out of here!"

The servants were so frightened that they did not dare to clean up and hurriedly retreated.

"Chen Zhi! Chen Zhi! Chen Zhi! It's all because of him! It's all because of this person!"

After repelling the servants, Chen Yun's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Xu Fang who had not moved, as if he was a ferocious beast that wanted to devour someone. The latter was also frightened and stepped back. While retreating, he said: "Young Master , you must not mess up your sense of proportion, there is a wrongdoer and a debtor, this has nothing to do with me, I have been loyal to you since I came to you."

As he spoke, he suddenly advanced instead of retreating, took a few steps closer, and whispered a warning: "In my opinion, you can't be impulsive now, and don't be angry, Chen Zhi is about to gain power, otherwise , let's retreat for the time being, what did you say? Yes, avoid the enemy's sharp edge!" The words seemed to be comforting, but every sentence was like a knife, piercing Chen Yun's heart.

"I know, I know everything," Chen Yun suddenly calmed down, but there was ice in his voice, "Chen Bian used me, Chen Zhi bullied me, even you have ulterior motives, it's okay, one day, I will let Chen Bian know that I am wrong! I am begging him today, and he will definitely beg me tomorrow! But the most important thing right now is to make this waste Chen Zhi disappear from my eyes!"

When Xu Fang heard this, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he was secretly happy.

"Chen Yun has finally made up his mind. With this, the chess pieces are complete. Even if Chen Zhi has changed his mind now, his nature is hard to change after all. He is the best person to deal with in the Chen family. I use him as an excuse to let me take advantage of the situation. Strengthen yourself vertically and horizontally!”

He thought so, but there was a worried look on his face, and he tried to persuade him: "It's not appropriate to have a conflict with him now. After all, so many people are looking at him, and they all know that Master, you and him are incompatible with each other, and it's easy to teach them. People use handles.”

It was better not to say this. As soon as Chen Yun said it, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Don't say it anymore. If you don't take action now, it will be too late for him to build up his power in a few days. Take action and don't stay." It’s a hidden danger, don’t worry, I won’t let you do it alone, I have a token for you.” As he said that, he took out a jade pendant from his arms.
