Chapter 40: This is an embarrassment inside and out
In front of the Zhang Mansion, the servant of the Chen family who reported the news informed the Zhang family's gatekeeper, and when the gatekeeper heard that someone from the Chen family was coming, he immediately cheered up, said politely, and asked them to wait for a while, then turned around and ran straight to the main hall.

Zhangjiatang House, at this time, is full of laughter.
The so-called turmoil in the outer room has passed, the misunderstanding has been eliminated, and the Zhang family has also retreated, and Zhang Taigong and a group of old friends are talking and laughing with Zuo Yuan, telling about what they have seen and heard in various places.
The old people have seen a lot, Zuo Yuan is also knowledgeable, everyone is versatile, this exchange is really comfortable, and the atmosphere is harmonious.
"This word 'spring' is very chic, have you noticed," at this moment, Peng Taigong pointed to a word on the letter, is explaining, "This word looks neat, in fact, slightly skewed, and the front of the word 'Chu' is very close, the old man at first glance does not think, and now I savor it carefully, only to find that these two words are compact, the strokes are brisk, and the pen must be extremely fast, giving people a sense of brightness, secretly in line with the spring, it is really wonderful." ”
went to the troubles, and saw the good words, and the old people simply tasted the words, and really wanted to turn a bad thing into a good thing.
At this moment, the porter came over to report the news, saying that someone from the Chen Mansion was waiting outside the door.
"The people of the Chen family came so early?" Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised, just now after the elders explained to their servants and sent the book to the past to make a relationship, he instructed his own concierge and said to pay attention to the people of the Chen family and report it in time when he came, but he didn't expect people to come so quickly.
On the side, Zuo Yuan got up and explained: "Back to Taishan, it was actually the son-in-law who notified the Chen family in advance and asked them to come over in advance, originally because of selfish ......" Needless to say, the latter words are too transparent, and everyone understands.
Mrs. Peng stroked his palms and smiled: "Since you are here, it is just right, today's gathering, Junjie gathered, the Chen family will definitely take Chen Zhi with them, just ask him for advice, our books are not borrowed for nothing, he has to say something after all." ”
"Yes, please advise, the master is the teacher, haha." Mrs. Liu also chimed in.
The old men looked at each other, and they all laughed, knowing each other's intentions, asking for advice is false, and asking for words is true.
No one will say this thought.
Mrs. Zhang had long expected that during the dinner, the Chen family would bring Chen Zhi over, but as elders, they were embarrassed to be close to each other in person, so they all rushed to let the family and servants send books over before the dinner.
Now that there is the friendship of sending books, there is a topic at the dinner, from borrowing books to learning, pointing him a few words, inadvertently mentioning the way of calligraphy, showing his love for good words, should you Chen juniors express it?
The more they thought about it, the more the old men felt that this routine was seamless, and they couldn't help but look forward to it, waiting to see the stale demeanor.
Soon, in the expectation of everyone in the hall, Chen Bian and Chen Yun were introduced into the main hall, and when they saw everyone present, they were slightly startled and hurriedly saluted.
It's just that when Chen Yun was saluting, he could feel that the eyes of all the elders fell on him, and there was a taste of scrutiny, but more of it revealed appreciation, and he couldn't help but be happy when he saw this.
"Sure enough, the reputation created a while ago is now working, which is a good phenomenon! Today is bound to be a blockbuster, and when all the elders recognize me, Chen Zhi doesn't need to be taken into account at all, and even Chen Bian and I can slowly surpass it! ”
Thinking about it, after the ceremony, he straightened up and stood on Chen's side according to the etiquette, and the main negotiation behind it was still the elder who was in charge. He didn't see it, after Xu Zhi saw him, he first showed a stunned look, and then slapped his thigh slightly, as if he had figured out something, but he didn't say anything.
"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite, the old man sees that you are in good spirits now, and you have come out of your grief." Zhang Taigong and Chen Bian were talking, but when they spoke, their eyes fell on Chen Yun from time to time.
Not only him, but other old people were the same, wondering if this person was Chen Zhi.
This attitude made Chen Yun's heart more and more happy, and he made up his mind, deliberately making a look of not squinting, neither humble nor arrogant, thinking that several elders would look at themselves a few more times.
Chen Bian naturally noticed this detail, but he thought quietly, how could this Chen Yun make a few elders look at each other differently? Is there something I don't know? Did you do the beating on the road just now?
It's a pity that the people present don't know that they are thinking about each other.
The previous white matter of Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhang went to a few places, but their identities and ages were there, they would not stay for a long time, and they would not condescend to greet the juniors, so they naturally couldn't distinguish the identity of the juniors of the Chen family.
So, in line with their own careful thoughts, it is normal to show favor in advance, but it made Chen Bian and Chen Yun misunderstand.
"Your family is a descendant, it seems that he is a talent, he should be the current romantic figure of the Chen Mansion, he should be introduced." After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Peng praised Chen Yun first, he was in a high position, but he also had special sycophancy skills.
"yes, yes, tell us about it in court."
The others echoed one after another, making Chen Yun's mood take a sharp turn, freeing herself from the boredom of being beaten and warned along the way, seeing so many elders and Venerable Ones optimistic about themselves and praising their demeanor, they were overjoyed, and even Chen Bian around him became more and more suspicious.
Only Xu Zhi shook his head slightly, but now he couldn't come forward, otherwise he might be offended on both sides, and he only gave the others a look, but where could the others understand, and in the end, the third elder had to sigh.
"Where, where, you have praised it, boy Chen Yun, I have seen all the elders." On the other side, Chen Yun didn't know the truth of striking while the iron was hot, so he immediately stepped forward with his head held high and reported his name, wanting everyone to remember him, but as soon as his name was said, the entire lobby suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
"What do you say? Your name is Chen Yun? Then Mrs. Liu was stunned, and couldn't help but say what was in her heart, "You're not Chen Zhi?" After saying this, he also realized that he had lost his words and quickly shut up.
It's a pity that the words have already been spoken, and they can't take it back, and for a while, whether it's Chen Bian Chen Yun or the elders, they all froze in place, and then their faces were full of embarrassment.
"It turned out to be Chen Yunxian's nephew," Mrs. Zhang took over quietly, "Yes, yes, in the court, today I asked you to come in advance from the water, you can ask him what is the matter." He pointed to Zuo Yuan, Chen Bian hurriedly saluted, he had also heard of the reputation of this hall owner, and admired the ancestor of the Zuo family.
The other old people also came back to their senses, and said a few words lightly, so they didn't say more, who is Chen Yun, they have heard a little, but they don't care at all, a lifetime and decades, the rising stars have seen a lot, and the spiral is spinning and disappearing, after all, the potential is not strength, where can it compare to everyone who is in calligraphy?
As he spoke, the elders' tones were much lighter, and there was still a faint anger, because the wishful thinking was empty, and they couldn't help but be angry, the books had been lent out, but no one came, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone to change, just the two of the Chen family were immediately angry.
This gap between the front and the back, a fool can feel it, Chen Yun only felt that his heart trembled slightly, he had just been held up to the sky, but as soon as the hand holding him was raised, he withdrew it one after another, making him fall instantly, smashing into the dust, and suddenly feeling embarrassed, and what made him unbearable was the cruel truth-
These people are not optimistic about him, nor are they infected by his demeanor, but actually treat him as a stale!
Chen Zhi!
Chen Yun gritted her teeth, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, hatred, jealousy, envy, incomprehension, confusion, helplessness, and shame......
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward and dignified, Zuo Yuan hurriedly came to Chen Bian and exchanged a few words, he knew Chen Zhi, but everything happened too fast, and he didn't react yet. ”
As soon as this name entered his ears, Chen Yun pricked up his ears, and the hairs on his body rose suddenly, reminiscent of the contrast between everyone before and after.
"This Mr. Zuo asked my Chen family to come over in advance, it was just for Chen Zhi! Why did he stop it! ”
