Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 42 The Chen family, Chen Zhi and I are the closest

Peng Lin's words showed his disdain for the Chen family.

This is also true. In Peng Lin's view, the only family worthy of his attention in Pengcheng today is the Liu family. But facing the children of the Liu family, what Peng Lin wants is not to fight, but to unite, make friends with them, and become friends with them. We will work together to support and control the lifeblood of this county in the future.

On the other hand, Chen Yun, with a little improvement, came to provoke the young talents of the Peng family and the Liu family. She looked like she wanted to convince everyone and was eager to change the situation of the younger generation. Naturally, she was resisted and looked down upon by Peng Lin and others.

"Chen Yun has been in the limelight these days, why is he like this?" Looking at Chen Yun's retreating back, Liu Miao stroked his beard and muttered.

Peng Lin asserted: "Eighty percent of it is because of his love of success. He talks nonsense in front of the elders and wants to win attention with shocking words. I have heard of this person's tricks a long time ago. He often expresses his opinion on one thing and says something His shocking words led to the topic, so he wrote poems according to the trend. He didn't know where he found the poems. They were all pretty good, but with his determination, he definitely couldn't write those poems. Do you really think others are stupid?"

Liu Miao frowned and said: "In this case, we have to be careful and don't be greedy for credit later. Today's protagonists are us, but in fact they are still the elders. We must let them enjoy themselves, so that all the venerables can I will be given a good evaluation so that I can improve my level."

"What you said makes sense, but there is a difference between victory and defeat." Peng Lin laughed, "At the last literary conference, your article "On the Prosperity of Han Dynasty" was amazing. It talked about the reasons for the strength of the imperial court. I went back to think about it. After a while, I have some insights, and I will explain it clearly to you today. It just so happens that I have been studying Legalism recently, so I will use this as the basis to discuss Taoism with you."

"It's better to find out the reason why Chen Yun left." Liu Miao shook her head, still thinking about this issue.

"Maybe it has something to do with Chen Zhi," Liu Gang said suddenly, his voice full of energy, "We got together early, because our families were in a commotion because the elders were taking books, and it was all because of Chen Zhi. Therefore, as Chen Yun is a member of the Chen family and is implicitly the leader, she must have been the hardest hit, and may have hated the elders because of this."

"Brother Liu Wu is the most frivolous, but he thinks too much," Peng Lin laughed playfully and said disapprovingly, "I already have news, saying that Chen Stupid has practiced calligraphy well at some point. This is imitating King Chuzhuang wants to make a big splash, but except for this handwriting, he is still a ridiculous person. You may not know that he opened a letter writing shop in the market. The calligraphy sold in the market can be better. Where are you going?" After that, he laughed again.

In fact, Peng Lin is also good at calligraphy and is known as the number one calligraphy master of the younger generation in Pengcheng. In the spirit of colleagues being enemies, he certainly doesn't like Chen Zhi as a competitor. He has never seen Chen Zhi's calligraphy with his own eyes. , coupled with my disdain for the Chen family, I was very conflicted.

"It's not that simple," Liu Gang shook his head, "It's not easy for such a person to be able to hold back his temper for many years, and this time Guijing screened out this person, maybe it's because he has been sharpening his sword for many years, otherwise he wouldn't let the elders take it seriously. "

"That's all you think about," Liu Miao also shook his head, "You, you have heard too many legends, and you still want to be a military advisor. Now is the peaceful age, what do you want to do with so much?"

Liu Gang shook his head and said sternly: "The border is not peaceful, and barbarians are gradually rising up. Not to mention the ones far away, the Li thieves in Sichuan and the puppet Liu in the north have become hidden dangers. How can we forget the dangers? We should follow the example of Ban Dingyuan and Chen Anbang. Only then can you live up to what you have learned by throwing your pen into the army and planning to subdue hundreds of tribes."

"Okay, okay, you're right, let's meet the elders first." Liu Miao didn't argue much, said a few words, and led a group of people to the mansion.

As they walked, the man disguised as a man asked in a smooth voice: "Is that Chen Zhi famous?"

"Famous, but not a good name," Peng Lin suddenly regained his spirits, "Sister Wang, let me tell you, this person has a name called 'Chen Stupid', and his stupidity is truly earth-shattering. Just recently, you also know that the grandpa of the Chen family passed away, and the Chen family's funeral, guess what Chen Zhi did?"

……

The group of five people walked as they talked. When they arrived at Zhang Mansion, the servant didn't stop them at all and went over first to report back.

After hearing this, Taigong Peng smiled and said: "The juniors are here? Lao Zhang, find a place for the younger generation to gather together. They are young and energetic, and they like to compete with each other. Find a place for them to make trouble first. Don’t worry about causing trouble again at night and drinking too much.”

"This is the right thing." Zhang Taigong nodded and gave instructions. When the servants left, he smiled at Chen Bian again and said, "My dear nephew, don't be affected by this. You just said that Chen Zhi practiced calligraphy when he was a child. What are the specifics of it?" How do you practice? Don't hide it, tell me, I can urge the juniors to learn when I get back. Although calligraphy depends on talent, you can always improve if you learn more."

These words were extremely polite, and Chen Bian was flattered for a while. In the past, when he, Chen Laoer, faced Taigong Chen, he spent most of his time being scolded. Taigong Zhang had a higher status than Taigong Chen, but he was kind to him, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed. Feeling elated.Not only Zhang Taigong, but also Zuo Yuan, who had an extraordinary background, Peng Taigong, who was very experienced, and Liu Taigong, who was old-fashioned and unsmiling, all looked at him differently. Under this stimulation, Chen Bian became more and more arrogant, and actually spoke indiscriminately, waiting for him When he came back to his senses, he described himself as the elder who valued Chen Zhi the most.

In his words, he was really worried about Chen Zhi. After Chen Zhi's parents passed away, his behavior became more and more disorderly. For this reason, Chen Bian, despite the pressure from the clan, helped him out many times. In order to save his nephew, The Chen family almost kicked him out too.

Everyone was in awe after hearing these words, and even those who had not taken him seriously had to deal with him seriously. Of course, this did not include the third elder Xu Zhi.

The old man was dumbfounded.

Last time at the Chen Mansion, Xu Zhi had seen some clues from Chen Bian's words and attitude, and knew that there was a conflict between uncle and nephew. As a result, Chen Bian said that he was closer to Chen Zhi than his biological father.

However, he did not expose the other party's thoughts. No matter how you say it, Chen Bian and Chen Zhi have the same surname. As an outsider, he is not qualified to comment. Otherwise, it will only cause trouble, and maybe both parties will not get along well.

But having said that, Xu Zhi considers himself to be a highly respected and noble person, and he looks down upon Chen Bian's behavior of acting according to the prevailing circumstances and relying on his words, and he looks down upon him in his eyes.

"I just watched you quietly. After all these words have been said, how will it end in the end?"

Chen Bian also knew this truth. He was originally worried that the three elders would expose him, but when he saw the other party looking at him calmly, he was temporarily relieved, but then he had a headache again. He knew that this time he was in big trouble, and he didn't know what to do afterwards. What can I do to make things right today?

There is a problem right now. Taigong Zhang and Taigong Peng want to learn from advanced experience and ask Chen Bian to talk more about Chen Zhi's calligraphy practice.

But how would Chen Bian know?
He only learned about Chen Zhi's calligraphy recently. Who knows how he mastered it?

But he couldn't back down at this time. Chen Bian could only use some ambiguous words to deal with it: "I don't know much about the details. Chen Zhi has been independent since he was a child. He likes to be quiet when practicing calligraphy. Others dare not disturb him. However, I heard He said that he has several water jars at home and they change them frequently. I heard someone below mentioned it and said it might have something to do with calligraphy."

According to the opinions of those present, if Chen Zhi's calligraphy is so good, the method of practicing calligraphy must be extraordinary and must have a certain legendary color. Chen Bian also understands this truth, so he can only deliberately mislead without telling the truth.

I clicked on a few key points and then said that it was a rumor from a servant and that I had never seen it with my own eyes. In fact, I didn’t say anything.

Do you need water when practicing calligraphy and grinding?There is water in the water tank, and it is changed frequently. You can decide what it is like, and I won’t tell you more. I will explain it later.

Sure enough, several elders felt that they had grasped the key and secretly memorized it. However, the people present did not know that this unexpected interrogation would actually leave a mark in the history books. This is all for later. .

However, everyone was chatting and laughing, and slowly, people from other families came to pay their respects. These were all of the same rank and generation as Chen Bian. The conversation gradually left Chen Zhi and spread all over the world.

Time passed very quickly, and it was time for the dinner in a blink of an eye. When Zhang Taigong saw it, he didn’t delay any more, and said: "Everyone, it’s getting late. The people below have been preparing for a long time. Call the juniors over and officially start the banquet. , they definitely can’t wait.”
