Chapter Forty-Eight: This Man Should Be a Friend
Among the people here, there are also those who are well-informed and well-informed, and they smell a trace of the words of drought and county officials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nowadays, the Xuzhou boundary is also considered to be a lot of disasters, first military disasters, floods, in recent months, near the west of the border and drought again, locust plague has appeared, Pengcheng County has also been affected, the state assassin who arrived three years ago saw this, and used his brains.
This thorn is from a high-grade family, likes elegance, under the continuous disasters, feels that the feng shui here is not good, so he does not want to stay here, so he wrote to the imperial court, under the pretext of disaster relief in the south, let the governance temporarily move south, in order to promote this matter, the family behind him has made a lot of efforts.
At that time, this matter was called "unbelievable" and "child's play" by several celebrities in the world, but since the death of Xuanwu, after thirteen years of Emperor Xu, the power of the family has become more and more prosperous, whether it is the clan or the scholars, all kinds of absurd things emerge in endlessly, four years ago the Emperor collapsed, and now he ascends the throne, the new Han Dynasty ushered in the sixth emperor, the family has become more and more powerful, and there are many strange stories when the old and new are handed over.
In contrast, the temporary relocation of the administrative office is not so incredible, and after a period of refutation, it has stopped. In the process of this relocation, Mrs. Zhang's second son also held a position and played a role in it, and I heard that he made a lot of oil and water.
Thinking of these, it is inconvenient for them to spy on them, because there are too many involved, and one is accidentally involved, but after thinking about it, such a terrible thing, but the favor in it was exchanged for a word, is this word really worth it?
It's hard to say whether it's worth it or not.
After all, the age and status are different, the things pursued are different, and the old people who are half-cut into the soil have too strong a desire to leave a name in history, so Zhang, Liu, and Peng will not hesitate to quarrel in front of the juniors.
Now as the landlord Zhang Taigong retreated, Liu Taigong was alone, it was difficult to support alone, and he could only give up, but he put the dissatisfaction on his face, and without waiting for Zhang Taigong to greet him, he called his son and a few juniors, and left in advance, which made many people quite embarrassed, and had a good banquet, and broke up unhappily.
Especially for those juniors, if the envisioned poetry is not staged, a lot of their preparation will be in vain.
However, compared to them, Peng Lin, Liu Yi and others were even more uncomfortable, and the young people of these two families followed Old Man Peng and hung their heads silently, while following Old Man Liu and appeased them.
The four of them had received a good evaluation, but the limelight of this dinner was completely stolen by a person who didn't come.
"Chen Zhi's means are really amazing, I don't know if it is intentional or unintentional, if it is intentional, then this kind of layout can be called wonderful, people did not come, but the reputation has taken root!" Liu Yi and Peng Lin glanced at each other, each showing a reluctant smile, thinking the same thought in their hearts.
Then, Liu Yi left the hall with his parents, but he was muttering in his heart: "Today's things have fulfilled a Chen Zhi, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, his words are indeed amazing, Pengcheng is a young generation, no, I am afraid that it is difficult to find one in the whole Xuzhou, no, his words have already entered the product, if the elders are not exaggerating, then ......"
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more ridiculous he felt.
"He is a ridiculous person who hides so deeply, then the Chen family is about to decline, and he wants to give up most of his interests, why did such a person suddenly pop up?"
For a while, the two completely different emotions of unwillingness and admiration were mixed in his heart, and his thoughts were extremely chaotic.
In this complicated thought, a group of several people sent Mrs. Zhang Liu to the ox cart.
Mrs. Liu's son came to Liu Yi and Liu Gang's side and ordered: "Your grandfather is old, it is inevitable that he will have some temper, but he will come and go quickly, and he can't be disgusted because of this. ”
"Yes." Liu Yi and Liu Gang glanced at each other, they must have felt a lot uncomfortable going back at this time, but when they left, they didn't have time to say a few more words to Peng Lin and them, so they had to go back to deal with trivial matters.
Don't look at a few old men who broke up unhappily, but at their age, they all have the taste of old children, coupled with the advocacy of social customs, most of them are informal, and there have been quarrels in the past, but they will get back together in a few days.
After all, they are all human beings, and it is impossible for the elders to maintain their majesty all the time, and they are also quite kind in their respective families, and Liu Yi and Liu Gang are valued by Liu Taigong, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with their uncle's orders.
But just as the two were about to leave, Mrs. Liu's voice suddenly came from the ox cart-
"Wait, the old man has to explain a few words to you."
This sudden change made the Liu Yi brothers stunned, with a strange look, obviously they didn't expect that their grandfather knew everything about the minds of several people.
"Don't be surprised," Mrs. Liu probed out, with anger on his face, "Your little thoughts are all leftovers from the old man's youth, don't be stunned, come here!" ”
"Yes!"
The two brothers came over obediently, bowing their heads, looking teachable, and their uncle was also embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Liu didn't care about anything else, so he said: "You should remember first, there is no need to publicize the matter of Chen Zhi's calligraphy, and you don't need to publicize it. ”
"Huh? Don't go public? Liu Yi's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Grandfather wants to sharpen Chen Zhi and make him ......?"
"Nonsense!" Old man Liu was still angry, and when he heard this, he became angry again, "People are talented, what qualifications do we have to suppress?" That word is hard work of others, and people who can practice words with their hearts and minds need me to sharpen them? It's not a joke! Settle the feud in vain! Don't let people listen to this, misunderstand that the old man is jealous and jealous, Chen Zhi is such a person, you can make friends, you can't suppress it, hum ......" he sneered suddenly, "Don't blame the old man for not warning you, I want to suppress people when they see talent, but I don't know that after all my efforts, people handed it a word, and all calculations were empty." ”
Liu Yi sweated like rain, quickly lowered his head, and looked like he had admitted his mistake, but asked with some puzzlement: "Then why don't you spread it?" ”
"If you don't let it be preached, it's suppression?" Mrs. Liu showed a little disappointed look, "Even if you don't publicize it, it will soon be known to the streets, the Chen family has its own arrangement, we don't have to go beyond the bounds to save them effort, the old man is worried about the screening after a few days, this generation of Mr. Guijing is arrogant and tight, if Chen Zhi suddenly became famous at this time, let Guijing's old guy's mistake be committed, thinking that Chen Zhi is taking the opportunity to become famous, stronger than screening, but not beautiful, my Liu family don't mix and go in." ”
"It turned out to be for Chen Zhi's consideration." Liu Yi looked stunned, but he felt that this excuse was a little reluctant, maybe there was some other reason, but Liu Gang seemed to think of something beside him.
Sure enough, I listened to Mrs. Liu whispered: "Also, Chen Zhi's reputation has not yet risen at this time, he is limited to the Pengcheng clan, the old man's face is still useful, he Peng Old Man didn't want to snatch the word, how can I be willing?" You find an opportunity to make friends with Chen Zhi, and when the relationship is deep, you can also help the old man ask for a word! ”
"What?"
Liu Yi was stunned at that time.
Is this to force me to make friends with Chen Zhi?
When Mrs. Liu saw his appearance, his heart became a little more angry, his brows furrowed, his eyes widened, his beard blown, and he said, "What? It is said that you have made a lot of friends, but you can't do such a small thing as connecting with Chen Zhi? The old man asked you to befriend him, not only for the sake of words, but also for your future consideration, and when you apologize to Old Man Zhang in the past, you will probe by the way to see what the other families think. ”
Liu Gang interjected and asked, "Grandfather, aren't you angry with a few princesses?" ”
"Why aren't you angry? But he didn't please the old man Zhang, he must have some plans, this old man is well-informed and active, you should ask him for advice, yes. As he spoke, Mrs. Liu looked tired, "Okay, no matter how much you say, the old man won't say anything, go ahead, don't forget my words." ”
"Yes, grandson, it's over." When Liu Yi and Liu Gang saw their grandfather's expression, they didn't dare to disturb, so they hurriedly retired and hurried to Zhang's mansion.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the banquet was ending, and most of them whispered while walking out.
For these people, this Zhangfu dinner is really wonderful, although it is a pity that the poems are gone, but now that I think back, I know that this time is not trivial.
Especially the name Chen Zhi, after this incident, in a few days, I am afraid that the Pengcheng clan will know about it, and then it will gradually affect the folk rumors.
At this time, public opinion is in the hands of the scholars and families, and influential news is generally circulated in the circles of the scholars first, and after some evaluation, the tone is set, and there is a conclusion, it will be circulated to the local tyrants, wealthy families, and squire clans in various places, and then through these grassroots organizations, it will affect the evaluation of all social strata.
Today's events, after normal fermentation, Chen Zhi's reputation among the people will soon be reversed.
