Chapter 40 Embarrassment both inside and outside
In front of the Zhang Mansion, the servant of the Chen family informed the Zhang family's doorman of the news. When the doorman heard that it was from the Chen family, he immediately cheered up and said politely, asking them to stay for a while, then turned around and ran straight to the main hall.
There were laughter everywhere in the Zhang family’s main hall at this time.
The so-called outdoor storm has passed, the misunderstanding has been eliminated, and Zhang has also receded. Zhang Taigong and his old friends are chatting and laughing with Zuo Yuan, telling their experiences and experiences from all over the country.
The old people have seen it a lot, and Zuo Yuan is also knowledgeable and everyone is versatile. This exchange is really comfortable and the atmosphere is harmonious.
"The word 'spring' is very unique. Have you noticed it?" At this moment, Mr. Peng pointed to a word on the letter and was explaining, "This word looks neat, but in fact it is slightly crooked, and is very close to the word 'first' in front. I don't think it at first glance. But now I savor it carefully and find that these two words are compact, with light strokes. When I write, I must be extremely fast, giving people a sense of brightness and intimately in line with the meaning of spring. It is really wonderful."
After getting rid of the troubles and seeing good words, the old people simply started to appreciate the words, and really turned a bad thing into a good thing.
At this moment, the gatekeeper came to inform the news, saying that the people from the Chen family were outside the door.
"The people from the Chen family came so early?" Zhang Taigong was a little surprised. After the elders had just told their servants and sent them a letter to make a relationship, he ordered his own doorman and said he would pay attention to the people from the Chen family and inform them in time when they came, but he did not expect that the people would come so quickly.
On the side, Zuo Yuan stood up and explained: "Reporting to Taishan, it was the son-in-law who notified the Chen family in advance and asked them to come here in advance, because of his selfishness..." Needless to say, the following words were too clear, everyone understood.
Mr. Peng smiled and said, "Since you are here, that's right. Today's gathering, the heroes gather together. The Chen family will definitely take Chen Zhi with him and ask him for advice. We are not loaned out for free, so he must make some statements."
"Yes, ask for advice, the master is his teacher, haha." Liu Taigong also agreed.
An old man looked at each other and laughed, knowing each other's intentions, asking for advice is false, asking for words is true.
No one will tell this thought.
Zhang Taigong and the others had already expected that the Chen family would come over during the dinner, but as elders, they were embarrassed to get close to each other in person, so they all asked the servants and servants to send books before the dinner.
Now that we have the friendship of delivering books, there are topics at the dinner. From borrowing books to talking about knowledge, I give him a few words, and inadvertently mentioning the way of calligraphy, showing my love for good calligraphy. Should you, the younger generation of the Chen family, express your expression?
The more I thought about it, the more the old men felt that this routine was perfect, and they couldn't help but look forward to it, waiting to see Chen Zhi's style.
Soon, under the expectations of everyone in the hall, Chen Bian and Chen Yun were introduced to the main hall. When they saw everyone present, they were slightly shocked and quickly saluted.
However, when Chen Yun was performing the salute, he could feel that the eyes of the elders were all on him, which was scrutinized, but more of them revealed the meaning of appreciation. He was so happy when he saw this.
"Sure enough, the reputation I created a while ago has come into effect now, which is a good phenomenon! I must make a big splash today. When all the elders recognize me, Chen Zhi doesn't have to take it seriously at all. Even I can slowly surpass Chen Bian!"
As he thought about it, after the ceremony, he straightened up and stood on Chenbian's side according to the etiquette. The main negotiations behind him were the elders. However, he did not see that when Xu Zhizai saw him, he first showed a look of surprise and then slapped his thigh slightly, as if he had figured out something, but he did not say anything.
"You don't have to be polite to me. I think you are in good spirits now and have come out of your sorrow." Zhang Taigong and Chen Bian chatted, but when they were talking, their eyes fell on Chen Yun from time to time.
Not only him, but the other old people are the same, wondering if this person is Chen Zhi.
This behavior made Chen Yun feel more and more happy. She thought about it and deliberately looked like she was not squinting, neither humble nor arrogant, thinking that she would look at her for a few more elders.
Chen Bian naturally noticed this detail, but thought quietly, how could Chen Yun let the elders look at each other? Is there something I don’t know? Did the knock on the road just now be wrong?
Unfortunately, the people present didn't know that they were all thinking about it.
Zhang and Zhang went to the funeral of Chen Taigong before, but their identities and ages are there, and they will not stay for a long time, and they will not be condescending to greet the younger generation. Naturally, they cannot tell the identity of the Chen family's juniors. When they saw Chen Bian bring only such a nephew, they expected that they were the top figure in the Chen family. In addition to Chen Zhi, who had a good hand, could there be other people?
Therefore, it is normal to show kindness in advance based on the little thoughts of grid, but Chen Bian and Chen Yun misunderstand it.
"Your young man looks like a handsome talent. He should be a romantic figure in the Chen family today. He should be introduced." After a few greetings, Mr. Peng praised Chen Yun first. He was in a high position, but he also had special flattery skills.
"Yes, yes, let's introduce us to the court."
The others agreed, which made Chen Yun's mood turn sharp and relieved from the depression of being beaten and warning along the way. Seeing so many elders, the Venerable looked forward to him and praised his demeanor, and he was full of joy. Even Chen Bian beside him became more and more shocked and suspicious.
Only Xu Zhi shook his head slightly, but now he can't come forward. Otherwise, both sides might offend him and only wink the other people, but how could the others understand? In the end, the three elders had to sigh.
"Where, where, you guys, you've praised it. Boy Chen Yun, you've seen all elders." On the opposite side, Chen Yun didn't know how to strike while the iron was hot. She immediately stalked forward and reported her name, wanting everyone to remember him, but as soon as he said his name, the entire lobby suddenly fell into a strange silence.
"What did you say? Your name is Chen Yun?" Liu Taigong was stunned and couldn't help but say what he said in his heart. "Aren't you Chen Zhi?" After saying this, he also realized his words and quickly shut up.
Unfortunately, the words were already said, so they could not be taken back. For a moment, whether it was Chen Bian and Chen Yun or Zhu Lao, they were stunned in place, and then their faces were full of embarrassment.
"It turns out to be Chen Yun's nephew," Zhang Taigong took the speech calmly after the wind and waves, "No, not bad, I'm in the courtyard. Today I asked you to come from the water. Please ask him what's wrong." He pointed to Zuo Yuan, and Chen Bian quickly greeted him. He had also heard of the reputation of the 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, but they stopped talking about it. They heard about who Chen Yun is, but they didn't care at all. After decades, they have seen many rising stars in their lives, and they have suddenly become successful and destroyed. After all, their potential is not strength. How can they compare to the masters of calligraphy?
As he spoke, Zhu Lao's tone became much weaker and he was still angry. Because Ruyi's plan was empty, he couldn't help but be angry. The book had been lent out, but the person had not come. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to be. The Chen family happened to be in front of him and was immediately vented.
The gap between the past and the next could be felt by a fool. Chen Yun felt a trembling heart. She had just been praised by someone, but when the hand holding him was raised, he was retracted one after another, causing him to fall and smash the dust. He felt embarrassed, and what made him even more unbearable was the cruel truth-
These people were not optimistic about him or were infected by his demeanor, but actually regarded him as Chen Zhi!
Chen Zhi!
Chen Yun gritted her teeth, and felt mixed feelings, hatred, jealousy, envy, confusion, confusion, helplessness, shame...
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zuo Yuan hurried to Chen Bian and exchanged greetings. He recognized Chen Zhi, but everything happened too quickly and had not yet reacted. At this time, he tried hard to smooth things over. After saying a few words, he got straight to the point: "Brother Chen, ask a presumptuous question, I wonder what you call Mr. Chen Zhi?"
As soon as this name hits my ears, Chen Yun immediately pricks up her ears, and hairs all over her body suddenly appear, which reminds everyone of the contrast.
