Chapter 400: Revisiting Lying Ice
Liu Kan, Zhang Yong and others are all famous celebrities in Pengcheng and met Chen Zhi in the Wobing Tower. Chen Zhi also met Wang Kui, the book-in-law of the Langya Wang family, and Liu Gai, the King of Langya Wang.
More than a year has passed, and Chen Zhi is now known as a famous scholar in Pengcheng, with the highest reputation as Xu, and is in the limelight for a while, but Liu Kan and others are still famous scholars, and their reputation has neither increased nor decreased much, as if it has stopped.
In fact, such famous people are the norm. For them, it is enough to have such a reputation in this place in this life. It would be even better if they could still leave a few anecdotes and spread them to future generations.
Their reputation can attract others, make other celebrities who have traveled here curious, and come to visit, so such banquets are often held.
"In the past six months, there have been much more famous people coming to visit than in the past," Xu Hui looked at Chen Zhi and smiled, "I can hear from the words of visiting Zhiren that most of them are for your name, your nephew. I think your reputation has gradually spread and has spread all over the world from Luoyang, Qingxu and other places. This is a sign that it is famous in history!"
"Master Xu really praised me. My reputation has only been circulated for a while. How could he have such a great influence?" Chen Zhi became modest. Master Xu's name was Xu Hui's request.
Seeing Chen Zhi following good deeds, Xu Hui was in a good mood and couldn't help but say, "I'm so humble, my nephew is so humble. I know that your reputation is very high in the northern border where you are going. The "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" is widely circulated among the various ethnic groups of the Xianbei. Speaking of which, it is really regrettable that you failed to participate in the Xingtan Prose. Not to mention the other side, even the "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" is worth writing a lot on the spot. It's a pity that I don't know how much better than the few articles I came to discuss the Tao later!"
Chen Chi and others on the side also showed regret when they heard this. Last year's Xingtan's argument was very disturbing. Not only many people in the Central Plains, but also many tribes on the frontier had everyone coming. It was very lively and had far-reaching influence. Xuzhou was close to Qingzhou, so it was greatly affected. From aristocratic families to the people, they paid great attention to the argument.
At the beginning, Chen Zhi was invited to participate in the discussion of Taoism, and the Chen family was quite excited, but he didn't expect that he left halfway. Fortunately, Chen Zhi was even more popular. Not only did he kill the little prince of the Huns, but also an article "The Six Kingdoms" at the King of Lu Banquet. In contrast, even the most outstanding people in the discussion of Taoism in Xingtan were covered in the limelight.
Not to mention, there were rumors of the death of the Hun King Liu Yuan later, which pushed Chen Zhi's name to a new peak and became a fellow villager whom the villagers of Pengcheng talked about.
In the following days, whenever he had any movement in Luoyang, it would be discussed when it reached Xuzhou, especially in Pengcheng.
It is precisely because of this that many people came to greet Chen Zhi spontaneously.
Such people's expectations are of course conducive to the spread of reputation. Anyone who passes by Xuzhou will hear Chen Zhi's name. Those who are not in a hurry to come and take a look.
"So, there are more and more famous scholars around Pengcheng recently. Many people come here and stay for a while. A few days ago, there was news that you are going to return home, so many people are waiting here."
Xu Hui smiled while stroking his beard, and looking at Chen Zhi's face, he became more and more kind.
The more famous people there were in his rule, the more they represented the prosperity of literary and moral principles, which was a manifestation of the merits of famous religion, which of course made him happy.
Chen Zhi knew this and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I can't say I have to experience it."
"Then I'll ask someone to inform me so that they can set a specific date. Your itinerary has not been confirmed and they have not booked a good date." Xu Hui's words showed that this so-called banquet was actually waiting for Chen Zhi. If he didn't go, it would be meaningless.
After the words came, Xu Hui suddenly changed the subject: "You are going to take a break all the time, so that you can take your family to visit your parents." His words showed the closeness of the two.
Chen Zhi nodded. This time he came here, he had the intention of bringing his wife to sweep the graves and burning incense to his parents. He had been married for a year. If he had not taken action, he would easily become a stain on his personal morality in this country that advocates filial piety.
So after saying a few more words, Chen Zhi walked into the city under the escort of the crowd.
As Chen Zhi entered the city, the welcome ceremony ended. The crowd scattered into the city, like countless stones falling into the calm water, rippling and rippling, and there were many discussions on the streets and alleys.
Many people sighed that the fortune of the Chen family was about to begin, and then recalled the situation when the Zhuge family's legitimate son came over, saying that it took only a long time before Chen Zhi changed from the person who greeted to the protagonist who was welcomed. This is the case.
Chen Zhi has seen too many such discussions, and the Chen family has long been used to it, so there is no need to repeat them.
But after he returned home, he led his wife to meet the little sister who was staying at home, and he was happy again. Early the next morning, he went to the Chen family cemetery outside the city to pay homage to his parents, and then kept worshiping in the ancestral hall.
Such a busy itinerary was not finished until the evening, and his wife Yang You were also exhausted and sweaty.
"Thank you so hard today."
Listening to her husband's care, Yang You smiled and shook her head, "This is what I should do. It's a pity that I can't serve my parents-in-law. How can I care about this fatigue?" In fact, Yang has become more and more satisfied with her husband since she got married.
She thought that Chen Zhi had such talent and reputation as a man with lofty ambitions and no children. After contacting him, she realized that Chen Zhi had lofty ambitions, but he was quite kind and gentle and respectful to himself. He was not as good as the man he said in other sisters, so he became more and more willing to do anything.
After the couple finished their work, they went back to Chen Zhi's manor outside the city. His student Chen Zhe had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw Chen Zhi, they came to greet him obediently, and even screamed at Yang's master's wife.
After not seeing Chen Zhe for more than a year, his appearance has changed a lot, and the most obvious one is his size.
A year ago, Chen Zhe was taller than one head higher than that of a head. When he was growing up, he became famous and had a higher status and had a better life. He had a good meal, lived well, and had nutrition and rest. He then accepted orthodox family teaching, learned the six arts of gentlemen, and strengthened his body, and naturally he grew up quickly.
However, what Chen Zhi cares more about is Chen Zhe's knowledge.
In fact, Chen Zhi was in debt to this disciple. Before he could teach him much, he embarked on the road of studying and did not return for more than a year. He just left some books and textbooks for Chen Zhe and arranged for family supervision. However, in order to learn this, there was no teacher urging him, and he mainly looked at himself, and his progress was often slow.
In view of this, after dinner, Chen Zhi called Chen Zhe to take the exam for his knowledge.
After the master and apprentice's answer, Chen Zhi nodded slightly and said, "You have not been idle this year, nor have you been lazy. You have learned everything you should learn on the basis of this."
When Chen Zhe heard this, he immediately smiled.
Because of his changing circumstances, he deeply realized that the opportunity was rare. With his grandfather's supervision, he worked very hard and thought of holding his breath and getting praise when the teacher came back. Now he finally did not waste his time.
After Chen Zhi said this, he said: "However, reading books is not enough for the way to learn. You have to read more and walk more."
When Chen Zhe heard this, he quickly sat upright and waited for Chen Zhi's arrangement. In his heart, he really wanted to walk with Chen Zhi. He knew that Chen Zhi would be the prefect and be a disciple of a county magistrate would definitely be of great benefit in the local area, right?
But Chen Zhi's words disappointed him a little
"In the past few days, you have more talks with Chen Wu. He travels with me, travels around the world, is quite knowledgeable, and has a rapid progress in knowledge. But for your friends, when the time is right, I will send someone to pick you up and follow me to learn."
Considering that Chen Zhe has a weak foundation, it is not harmful to lay a foundation for learning, as for Chen Zhe’s idea, Chen Zhi could guess a little, but he decided to polish the other person’s temperament.
After the master and apprentice's answer, a servant came to report that someone had sent an invitation.
Chen Zhi sent him here and took him to see that it was the invitation for the Wobinglou dinner, and the time was set for tomorrow.
"These famous scholars are also anxious. As soon as I finished my work, I came to send an invitation. It's okay, I happened to see what people there are. Jun Jun Xu said it well. He went north to Dai County and was the prefect of a place. He was the official of his parents. He wanted to manage the huge land and many things. Even if a person could handle it, he would have to find some people to help him. Otherwise, he would be plagued by government affairs and not plan any other things."
He thought of Xu Hui mentioning that person again.
"The little fairy man Ge Hong is very famous in later generations. I have never deliberately learned about it. I also know that he is a famous Taoist figure. "Baopuzi" has been circulated in the world. I just don't know if this person has the ability to govern, but at least he has accomplished in alchemy, which may be extended. But then again, it is not easy for such a person to recruit."
With Ge Hong's reputation, even if he can't handle any government affairs, he can only raise his reputation. What's more, alchemy itself involves chemistry, and it can also provide a lot of help. However, Chen Zhi had heard of his name in the past and knew that he was not an easy person to recruit.
"Well, let's make friends first. Xu Jun said that there is another great sage who seems to be highly praised by several famous scholars. I don't know who the sacred is."
With this idea, Chen Zhi arrived at Wobing Tower on time the next day.
From a distance, I saw someone waiting at the door. When he got out of the car, the man immediately came up.
"Mr. Zhang, I can't do it!"
Chen Zhi quickly recognized the person, Zhang Yong, a famous scholar in Pengcheng.
Zhang Yong had a little conflict with Chen Zhi in the past, but after realizing Chen Zhi's ability, he immediately changed his attitude and made friends with all his heart.
