Chapter 430: Praise the old man

"Mr. Chen, you're polite."

When Tuoba Yulu and others arrived, everyone felt that their eyes were lit. It was not because they were so beautiful and handsome, but because they were all wearing wide robes and big sleeves for a few days today, with a hint of smell from people in the Central Plains.

Tuoba Yulu and others spoke, and they also spoke Central Plains Mandarin. Then the two servants who looked like servants followed Tuoba Yulu took the initiative to walk aside and lined up with everyone's servants and others. Many servants looked at the two tall and strong men, all of whom were curious, including Chen Zhi's book boy Chen Wu.

The actions of the two Xianbei servants were in good manners, and the smiling greetings from Tuoba Yulu and others. When they first met, the group of people were covered in blood and rude words, which made people nodded secretly.

When Chen Zhi saw it, he shook his head in his heart.

"If there is a person who has been observing the courtesy for decades and others have become accustomed to it, most people will not think that this person is worthy of praise. On the contrary, this kind of contrasting ceremony is even more impressive and can arouse praise from others."

Thinking in his heart, Chen Zhi, as the host, also met him at the first time. When he spoke, he also noticed that Tuoba Yulu's words began to quote scriptures and scriptures, and every word and sentence often conforms to etiquette.

"When Tuoba Yulu first came, his words and behaviors were rude. At that time, he led his troops, and had just fought with the Huns and rushed on the grassland. What he revealed was the grassland customs. After a few days of peace, the etiquette norms learned in the Central Plains came back."

While talking, Chen Zhi thought and said, while making a "please" move, while the other party shook his sleeves and walked in.

"Speaking of this, when I first met this person in Luoyang, he was thoughtful and polite. It can be seen that Chinese education is still useful in him, but sometimes he has to give in to the outside world. This is normal. The people of the Central Plains should still be honest and know etiquette, let alone foreign tribes? But this also shows that simple Chinese etiquette, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, may not be suitable for the idea of ​​the previous life."

"I've met Brother Tuoba!"

"This time thanks to Tuoba Jun's help, otherwise this matter would be a lot more troublesome."

"Tuoba Jun, please come here. I want to ask you for advice if I have something to do..."

With the arrival of Tuoba Yulu, another wave of greetings came, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually rose.

Without waiting for them to say a few more words, someone came over and said that several venerables had arrived.

"The prince actually came in person."

"There are also Zhu Taigong and Tang Taigong."

"It's really a gift to Taishou Chen. When Taishou Lu came, only Taishou Zhu was the only one who came forward, right?"

Those who came in with the words were several elderly people of great age.

They came in with crutches surrounded by the crowd.

Chen Zhi accused Tuoba Yulu and walked over.

"I have seen several venerables."

"I've met Prefect Chen..."

In this way, Chen Zhi and everyone sat down one after another.

As several old men arrived one by one, the atmosphere gradually reached its climax. Even Chen Zhi, who had just arrived, and Wu Jie, who was surrounded by stars, came forward to welcome the elders.

Like the older generation of grandfathers in Pengcheng, the grandfathers of Dai County may no longer be the patriarchs, but they have an extraordinary influence on the family. For example, the old lady Wang can speak in the Wang family in Taiyuan and get close to Wang Jun.

However, such old men, elders, and venerables are not all in Dai County, and they do not all like such occasions. Moreover, there are special circumstances. Only three people who actually arrived were the three elders of the Wang family, Zhu family and Tang family.

So when they come, the luncheon has the foundation to start.

When they arrived, the others stopped their own affairs and looked respectful.

Then, Chen Zhi and the three elders took the lead, Wu Jie sat on the side, Tuoba Yulu sat on the guest seat, and the others sat in turn, divided into two sides.

"I have heard that Chen Taishou is a young talented man, and he is famous all over the world. When I see him today, he is indeed well-known. I have seen so many people. Only by your demeanor can you be called a famous scholar!" The prince praised Chen Zhi as soon as he sat down. "Where is the prince who praised me." Chen Zhi responded politely.

"You're not polite. I've read your "Talents" and I'm very happy. I'll let the younger generation learn it." Wang Taigong said with a smile, pointing to the few people in the hall, "They can do it and understand the words. If you have time, you might as well take the exam for me to get more knowledge."

The person he pointed at seemed a little embarrassed because the younger generation mentioned by Wang Taigong was relative to himself. In fact, these people are not young, and there is also a man with a national face, who is quite majestic.

This person is named Wang Huo, and he is a person of the Wang family leader. He is ten years older than Chen Zhi. He was just smiling and giving advice to his two nephews the key points of the luncheon. He turned around and listened to his grandfather pointing at him. It was so embarrassing.

But he couldn't have an attack, so he could only pretend not to know, coughed, and then asked the two nephews beside him: "How are you memorizing "The Master's Talk"? I have to take the exam if I have time."

When others heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads. Who didn't see that Wang Taigong's finger was pointing at you and talking.

If you want to say, this is because Wang Taigong was too long-lived. It can be seen from the seat that the two elders of the Zhu family and the Tang family were just around because they were one generation away from this Wang Taigong.

The old lady Wang shook her head and laughed, and said to Chen Zhi: "Using the knowledge of the prefect is enough to start a sect and teach her disciples. I wonder if you have such thoughts when you go north this time?"

Chen Zhi shook his head and chuckled, "How can I teach my disciples with such a minor skill? Isn't it a misleading child? Besides, I am here to be the prefect of the county and have many government affairs, so I'm afraid it's hard to distract myself."

"The prefect is still modest. I also became an official when I was young, so I have a little experience," said Mr. Wang, who is very interested in talking. "The prefect can work together with me, and can be content with the talent of the prefect, so that we can rest assured."

Chen Zhi nodded and said yes, but also noticed that the inscriptions of the aristocratic families meant to be in charge of governing with officials.

With the king and grandpa, these two people were unwilling to be idle and spoke.

Zhu Taigong turned the topic back and said, "Uncle Shi said it well. In fact, it is not just an article, but the prefect's "Book of the Moon". I have read the copy, it is really a good word. Even the Wei Nu in Hedong praised it. It was just a fake. If it was an authentic work, what kind of atmosphere would it look like? It's really cheap that old man in Qinghu."

The words revealed that he seemed to have a friendship with Mr. Qinghu Wang Qian.

Chen Zhi waved his hand and said, "The elder praised it. How could Chen compare with Mrs. Wei's trick? I think she was just a polite statement." Chen Zhi knew that the other party's name was Wei Shuo, known as Mrs. Wei, was a famous calligrapher. In the original history, even the saint of calligraphy Wang Xizhi learned calligraphy from her.

When a child of the Wang family in Wuyuan, Xuzhou received a copy of the calligraphy of Mrs. Wei and presented it to Mr. Qinghu, Wang Qian, and he received praise, which shows that.

"The prefect is too modest," Zhu Taigong smiled and changed his subject: "I am here today, and I want to invite a piece of calligraphy to go back. I wonder if it is possible? I also know that the prefect's calligraphy is not easy to give people, and there are not many works passed down from generation to generation now, but I really like it. Only this unhappy invitation is to invite only one piece, and I will never ask for it."

When Wang Taigong and Tang Taigong next to him heard this, they couldn't help but jumped and thought to himself that this old man was really thick-skinned.

When they came here today, they all knew that Chen Zhi was intending to use this banquet to contact the Daijun family. In fact, it was a time to show friendship with each other. Only looking at Chen Zhi's words was indeed of great value, but it was not enough for Zhu Taigong, who was aged like Zhu. The other party's behavior was just using this method to flatter Chen Zhi, to suit his preferences, to bring his relationship closer with Chen Zhi and to sell personal favors.

If you want a good handwriting and you can get personal favors, this is the high-end state of flattery.

But this Taigong had something to say in his words, and now he has another step. Old Taigong Wang and Taigong Tang respect their identities, and they are always hard to pick up others' wisdom and cannot imitate them, so they can only mutter secretly.

Even Wu Jie changed his expression slightly, frowned, and thoughts arose again.

Chen Zhizi also saw the trick and smiled and said, "If my words can be seen by Taigong, it is an honor. After a few days, Taigong can send a text to you and I will copy it for you."

Mr. Zhu immediately looked overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "That's great! Very good! I just wrote an article last month and was very satisfied. When I got back, I would send it to the prefect. However, the prefect doesn't need to rush to see when you have time. After writing it, you only need to come and inform me. I will send someone to the prefect, and remember this matter." He said, greeting someone around him to let him remember it.

The man who was greeted was not young and had a demeanor. It was Zhu Liu, the head of the Zhu family. He was more comfortable than Wang Huo Zizi of the Wang family. After all, he was not pointing at himself to endorse the letter, so he nodded and smiled at Chen Zhi: "The prefect has given me instructions, and I will wait at any time."

Chen Zhi smiled again and said, "Zhu Jun is so polite."

Tuoba Yulu was amazed at the sight of it. The Tuoba Xianbei was located north of Dai County and had their own information channels and knew about Dai County. Therefore, we knew that these elders from Dai County were usually quite majestic. Even if they were the former prefect Lu District, they could not easily invite a few people. Even if a few people came forward, they all had a serious face. When the elder spoke, they would feel a sense of teaching people about life mottos. It was not like the present.

"The Central Plains governs the world with filial piety and respects the elders very much, so the elders have a high status. These old men used to be arrogant, but they have different opinions to show their different status. But now these people talk to Chen Zhi, but they are like friends, and there are also compliments, as if they are flattering Chen Zhi. It's really weird. It seems that since we met him last time, Chen Zhi's reputation in the Central Plains has changed a lot after such a long time."

While the Xianbei general was thinking secretly, the hall gradually became quiet. When everyone listened to the elder's words, they couldn't help but whisper. When they looked at Chen Zhi, they also seemed shocked and suspicious.

"Brother Zhu really knows to seize the opportunity," at this time, the Tang Taishou spoke publicly. He first teased Zhu Taigong and changed the subject: "When it comes to Taishou Chen, what impressed me the most is the Luoyang commentary. You may not know yet. This Luoyang commentary can now be said to be known to everyone in the world, and even border areas like us know it."

Chen Zhi smiled and was humble, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: "I know this, because the growth rate of the Honest Gold Liquid is getting faster and faster. It is obviously because with the spread of Luoyang's comments, my reputation has also spread. Perhaps the day when the world is famous is not far away..."

The Tang Taigong was still polite, but it was no more than the two venerables who had been to their favor, and the people slowly calmed down.

But just as everyone was waiting for the elders to finish talking and the luncheon officially began, Mr. Tang suddenly patted his head and smiled and said, "Look, when he saw the prefect, he was too happy and almost forgot about his important matters. I came here today to express my support for the prefect with practical actions."

"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Tang said?" Chen Zhi was surprised. The two people in the first place, one praised and the other asked for words, were almost used in a variety of ways. Could this person have a new way?

Tang Taigong smiled and said, "My grandson Tang Yun said that the prefect once went to the fort outside the city to care about people's livelihood. What I said was related to the tenant farmers."
