Chapter 108: Fighting for Nephews
"Persuade you to learn tea?"
Xunzi's "Persuasion of Learning" Chen Zhi knows that it is an article of the ancient sages who persuaded people to learn, which is thought-provoking, and it is strange to combine persuasion with tea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In addition, Chen Zhi is very clear that under the effect of copper coins, the proceeds from the lottery must be what is needed at present.
"In order to figure out the halo of copper coins, I hit the idea to Guijing Academy, well, I have to add clan studies, could it be that this persuasion tea is from this? Or is there something else? β
After thinking about it, he felt that just because of the test of the copper coin halo, he got such a bag of persuasion tea, and the reason was a little thin and untenable.
This introduction is said to be listened to by people with stirred minds, that is, to let people with more emotional fluctuations hear it, which can enter his heart and let him listen to instructions, does that mean that it is not limited to teaching, and can it play a role when talking to people normally? Also, this signer is valid, saying that only I can use it. Having said that, the effect of this tea is indeed quite mysterious, and if it spreads, the consequences are unpredictable......"
With this in mind, Chen Zhi's mind diverged and he thought of some new uses.
Suddenly, he realized one more thing.
"There don't seem to be any side effects in this draw, and it seems that this time I was lucky."
The inferior sign is different from the lower sign, and there is a certain chance that the side effects will not appear, and even if they appear, the degree of damage will be much more convergent.
Thinking and thinking, the night grew deeper.
The next day, Chen Zhi got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and went to Chen's mansion to meet Chen Chi.
"Zhi'er, come, sit here, I have gained a lot from staying in the county this time, and many of them are related to you." As soon as Chen Chi saw Chen Zhi, he looked kind, and asked people to prepare a seat for him.
As soon as Chen Zhi sat down, Chen Chi praised him, told Chen Zhi's recent deeds again, and finally asserted: "My Chen family has you, you can be worry-free!" β
"Uncle is serious." Chen Zhi naturally had to be modest.
"It's not heavy, it's all from the heart." Chen Chi's face kept smiling, "What I want to tell you next is that Xiangpin, Zu Zhongzheng is also very optimistic about you, and specially informed me that Xiangpin will give you a satisfactory answer, but it will not be until the next year." β
"Let Uncle bother."
In order to show his majesty as the head of the family, and in order to reduce Chen Bian's influence, he revealed the disposal plan of the Bai family's industry.
According to Chen Chi, after the New Year's Day, the first batch of industries will change hands, including a few shops and a large number of fields, which will be classified under Chen Zhi's name, and then he gave another advice.
This is something that Chen Zhi had expected a long time ago, there were not many waves, the two said a few words, and he said goodbye and left.
A few days after the stove day, the smell of the New Year became stronger and stronger, and the book was also full of joy.
In the past year, Chen Zhi's family has been up and down, experienced the turmoil of drug abuse in the mourning hall, and suffered the disaster of burning down the house, thinking that it was going to sink completely, but I didn't expect Chen Zhi's prodigal son to turn back, and now his reputation has risen, and his status in the Chen family has also changed.
For the new year, Chen Xu, Chen Xi, Chen Fu and others are full of hope, thinking that their own team can become more and more important in the Chen family.
In this anticipation, when the end of the year came, Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi and other men fasted and prepared for the day of ancestor worship.
Waiting for the peach charm of "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" pasted on the door, the beginning of the first year and the day of the first month finally arrived.
The Chen family is now mainly divided into two branches, that is, Pengcheng and Xiapi two Chen families, the source is still in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the group of heroes was divided, Chen Jue, Chen Deng father and son of course value Liu Bei, but they are also worried that there will be changes in the north, after Liu Bei went south, a branch was divided to stay in the ancestral land, to put it bluntly, it is a bet on both sides, no matter what happens in the north, or the south is revived, the Chen family will not be cut off.
This left-behind branch, because of the changes in the political situation and war in the north, and because of the relationship between the ancestors, finally took root in Pengcheng.
When the south was stable and the Xinhan Dynasty advanced northward, the Xiapi Chen clan, who had an extraordinary position in the New Han Dynasty, came back and became a prominent branch, in contrast, the Pengcheng Chen clan was also lonely.
However, the Pengcheng Chen family does not need to go to Xiapi to worship their ancestors, because there are also Chen ancestors here, and the two Chen clans worship separately, and then send their descendants to communicate and maintain blood and family ties.
Early in the morning, the three Chen Zhi brothers got up early, and after making some preparations, they went straight to Chenzhuang Village outside the city.
In this clan land, a bunch of Chen family children have gathered, and as soon as Chen Zhi arrives, everyone who sees him will immediately say hello.
"Seventh Brother is here."
"Seventh brother, these days have been full of things about you and Lu Ying, and it has really made my Chen family famous."
"Seventh brother, after this year, our Chen family will hold a poetry party, and you will have to come over to cheer at that time......"
β¦β¦
In the hustle and bustle, the three Chen Zhi brothers arched their hands forward, and the two younger brothers were full of red light, thinking that not long ago, when the Taigong was in vain, the brothers moved forward, and they had to endure the pointing and pointing of others.
"Seventh brother, this way!"
Suddenly, there was a fat figure in the crowd waving at the three brothers, it was Chen Luo.
Chen Luo and Chen Zhi are the most friendly, after Chen Zhi's reputation rose, others were respectful and slightly in awe of Chen Zhi, but this Chen Luo was still the same, not much changed, at most he was talking, and he popped out a sentence or two of flattery.
"Seventh brother, look at the ...... over there" When Chen Zhi and the three came, Chen Luo stretched out his hand and pointed, and several people followed his fingers to look over, and just saw a dodging figure, who is it not Chen Yun?
The fourth young master of the Chen family, who wanted to suppress Chen Zhi at the beginning, is now pale, embarrassed, and panicked, he stands in the crowd, and everyone else avoids like a plague god, and the situation can be seen.
Chen Luo gloated and said: "Chen Yun is self-inflicted, I heard that he was in charge of the store, and within a few days of going, he had a conflict with the upper and lower staff, and the business was difficult. β
Chen Zhi shook his head, he didn't pay attention to this, Chen Yun was a trouble in the past, but now there is no chance to start again, whether it is from the network or the conditions, Chen Yun no longer has a chance.
This episode passed quickly, and with the appearance of Chen Chi, Chen Bian and others, the entire ancestor worship officially began, and everyone went straight to the ancestral tomb under the leadership of the elders.
To the grave, first to put the dove, the dove for the yang bird, go to the yin on the yang, mark the beginning of the ancestor worship ceremony, and then the bell and drum sound, the sacrifice song, leisurely and quiet, fluttering around the ear.
The ancestral tomb is not only the ancestors within a hundred years, the Chen family has deep roots in Xuzhou, and it has also flourished in Pengcheng and has a long history, so the scale of this ancestral tomb is not small.
At this time, it is not your ability, but to see the distance of the bloodline, marked with order and etiquette, a process down, cumbersome and solemn, highlighting the heritage of the family and the inheritance of the bloodline, not a simple formalism, but through this ritual, in the hearts of the descendants to build a unique concept and centripetal force.
After the toast and sΓ©ance, the ancestor worship is completed, and a group of children sit in front of the ancestors, and the elders in the family are served with pepper wine, calling for longevity, and blessing the elders with a long life.
After being busy, everyone returned, and started a big banquet in Chenzhuang, and the friends were feasting, so happy.
This year is not better than in the past, the Chen family has been getting worse in the past, especially in the previous year, the old lady Chen fell ill, so that the entire Chen family was bleak, and now because of the Bai family, the family has a lot of benefits, and the clan is rich, there are no many troubles, only laughter.
During the banquet, people frequently asked Chen Zhi to toast, from the brothers' generation to the younger generations, all rushed over, wanting to leave a little impression on this sudden Chen family Junjie.
"Seventh brother, I respect you."
"Uncle Seven, we admire a hero like you the most in our lives!"
"Xiao Qi, I heard that you are good at calligraphy, when will you show your hand?"
β¦β¦
The cups are staggered, even if the wine is low, he can't stand drinking too much, Chen Zhi's head is only a little dizzy, but his stomach can't bear it first.
Chen Luo also has eyesight, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly stepped forward, patted his chest and said: "Seventh brother discussed with that Jiangdong genius a few days ago, it took a lot of effort, and now he is still tired, how can you be so respectful, so let's do it, after my pass, I will always look for my seventh brother, drink!" β
Chen Luo is also a good drinker, and he drank it in a circle, but his expression changed slightly.
When others were waiting to pay respect, someone came over and called Chen Zhi, but it was Chen Chi's third son, Chen Tian.
"Seventh brother, my father is looking for you." Although Chen Tian is the third son of the Chen family's uncle, he ranks ninth in Chen Zhi's generation, and he has to call Chen Zhi brother when he sees him.
After Chen Zhi confessed to a table of people, he walked away with Chen Tian.
Along the way, Chen Qian was secretly observing this cousin, and seeing Chen Zhi's calm expression and moderate walking, he secretly sighed that his bearing was really different, and there was a world of difference from the past.
"Zhi'er is here." When he arrived at the place, Chen Chi greeted him cordially, he was not at the table, but in the hall, talking with several clansmen, and these people also smiled when they saw Chen Zhi.
Chen Chi said: "After worshipping the ancestors, you have to prepare for the spring, I thought, it is really inconvenient for you to live in Shulinzhai, it is better to live in the house for a few days, and it will save trouble." β
Chen Zhi understood a little when he heard it, and was about to speak, but a voice came from the side-
"Big brother, you let Zhi'er go to you, you want Zhi'er to give you a strong momentum, I want to be more confident when I worship the clan and the hometown party, this matter can't be forced, you have to ask Zhi'er what he means."
It was Chen Bian who spoke, his voice was calm and flat, but the smell of gunpowder in the room became stronger.
As the crisis passed, the original contradictions of the Chen family resurfaced.
During the period when Chen Chi went to Liuxian, Chen Bian sat in Pengcheng, taking advantage of Chen Zhi's east wind and counterattack against the Bai family, his influence and prestige increased significantly, and there was a faint trend of transcendence.
After Chen Bian finished speaking, he looked at Chen Zhi, smiled and said, "Zhi'er, stay with me in the next few days, and the yard will be prepared for you." When he said this, everyone held their breath.
This is to fight for nephews!
Chen Chi was stunned when he arrived, thinking that he had taken care of Chen Zhi's family because of the trust of his seventh brother in the past, you Chen Bian was embarrassed everywhere, and you dared to come forward at this time?
"Second brother, I was entrusted by the seventh brother to take care of Zhi'er and the others, and now I invite him to live temporarily, what's wrong?"
Chen Bian is not afraid, he used to have conflicts with Chen Zhi, but since the Zhang family's dinner, he has accommodated everywhere, and the Bai family has been maintained in every possible way, he consciously replaced Chen Chi with such a hesitant temperament, when he encounters the same thing, he must hesitate, it is impossible to be as decisive as himself!
Not to mention, the distribution of the Bai family's property was also proposed by himself first, just to get closer to Chen Zhi.
"Big brother, Zhi'er is now famous, so he naturally has his considerations."
Both of them were unwilling to back down, and the taste of confrontation became stronger and stronger, and everyone's eyes naturally fell on Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi has recently become famous and is the future pillar of the Chen family, and at this time, which house he lives in is undoubtedly a major encouragement to that faction, and the benefits are endless.
You must know that after worshipping the ancestors, it is the time for all parties to visit, which one Chen Zhi is in, that family is immediately different in the eyes of outsiders, and when others pay respects, they also have more considerations, and of course the momentum is greatly inspired.
Such an opportunity is only this year, because Chen Zhi is famous at the end of the year, and there will not be many people who want to congratulate Chen Zhi, and next year, as soon as the reputation spreads, there will be many people who will congratulate Chen Zhi, and there will be no chance of other houses at all.
Under the expectant gaze of both sides, Chen Zhi cleared his throat and responded.
