Chapter 6 Where did the peak circuit turn?
Chen Bian was silent and had a complicated expression.
Xu Zhi negotiated with the Chen family, but he was not the real master. When Chen Chi came, he would give up his dominance. This time he came to entertain Xu Zhi. Chen Bian's real purpose was to take advantage of the situation to seize the land of Chen Zhi's family. As a result, he backfired and made Chen Zhi favored Xu Zhi.
However, to be fair, although Chen Bian was in his heart, he was not a blind man or a deaf man. The conversation between Chen Zhi and Xu Zhi was heard by him. He knew that Chen Zhi had many insights in his words and showed a certain degree of knowledge and cultivation. Only the attainments of the Legalist theory were enough to be among the younger generations of the Chen family.
"Where did this kid learn this?"
Chen Bian also had some information, which contained part about Chen Zhi's academic level. The evaluation was terrible and he also emphasized that Chen Zhi could count the time he read a book with one hand.
"How can such a person be proficient in the Legal classics?"
You should know that in this era, he could only gain knowledge through reading books or teaching by his teachers. Chen Bian used this as a basis to reason, and the answers he got really made him feel unbelievable.
"In the information, Chen Zhi has hardly shown his knowledge in front of others, so he speculated that he was ignorant. However, judging from the current situation, he probably relied on a few limited opportunities to enter and exit the Book Pavilion and took a few random glances and remembered a lot of Legalism and integrated them to achieve such a performance. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain it at all, because even if he prepared in advance, he would not be able to say so enthusiastically to Xu Zhi."
Thinking of this, Chen Bian shivered suddenly.
"If this is true, then Chen Zhi's talent will be too terrible. With such talent, even if he is a temporary stubborn person, he will eventually make a breakthrough. Should I... shouldn't I force him too much?"
It is said that profit is a foolish thing. When a person is obsessed with profit, he can't persuade him no matter how much he wants. However, Xu Zhigang poured cold water and pointed out the interests. Chen Bian was angry, and his original thoughts could not be shaken.
"If Chen Zhi is like those who are wise and foolish in the past, sooner or later, I will have to change my response strategy, but I can't be confused by him!"
As he thought about it, Chen Bian had a new idea and no longer insisted. He followed the flow and said to Chen Zhi: "Since Mr. Xu values you, the punishment will be temporarily postponed, but this does not mean that he will not blame him. You must understand this!"
Despite his concerns, Chen Bian's attitude could not make a big turn. On the other hand, he was also worried that what he had done in the past would make Chen Zhi have evil thoughts about him. If Chen Zhi grew up, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not retaliate against him, so he was undecided. If Chen Zhi had not belonged to the same clan as him, Chen Bian would have suppressed him without hesitation as soon as he saw his potential.
"Thank you, uncle," after two lifetimes, Chen Zhi has certainly had the ability to observe his words and expressions. With the pill in his belly, he can understand people's hearts and know Chen Bian's thoughts. "I will definitely seize this opportunity to add glory to our Chen family."
The Chen family was mentioned just right, implying that the interests of both sides were consistent, which to a certain extent dispelled Chen Bian's concerns. Although it did not cure the root cause, at least it relieved Chen Bian's emotions.
"I have a little wink and I know that I have said a few words in the scene, which are different from the description in the intelligence. It seems that he has a good attitude and is also considered to be of high quality. Could it be that he suddenly got up? Or was he pretending to be in the past?" The more he thought about it, the more Chen Bian felt that Chen Zhi was a little unusual.
Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Since the matter has been settled, I promised to postpone the punishment in court. If you guard it, go back and prepare. I will probably have to wait a few days. I will recommend you, but this matter is very important and not a single person can decide. The position of serving books and dictators is that there are too many monks and few porridges, and how many young talents are watching. You have to go through a battle of dragons and tigers. You must know what you want." He even called Chen Zhi's word, without any concealment of his closeness.
Chen Zhi nodded repeatedly: "I will keep it in mind and will not disappoint the elders."
"By the way," Xu Zhi thought of something again, and told him, "I have heard of the trouble you have caused. Even if you have a beautiful heart, you should not be arrogant because of your talent. You should treat talents calmly. You should not forget Han Zi's teachings. Unless you can make meritorious contributions, punishment will inevitably be inevitable," he turned to Chen Bian, "But if you are urgent, it is best not to make things difficult for him to keep one, so that he can review it with peace of mind, read more books, and prepare thoroughly. Chen's Book Pavilion is one of the best in our Pengcheng County. If you can learn it in it, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
"Xu Gong said, of course I can't ignore this face, but it's not easy to make decisions about family traditions. In the end, I have to let other people who are separated from the family have no gossip, otherwise the rules will be messed up." Chen Bian was so embarrassed that he looked at Chen Zhi, and saw that the latter's expression was calm, his eyelids jumped, and the topic changed, "Let's do this, it's nothing to go to the Book Pavilion to read, but the punishment is just an adjudication. But if Guijing Academy accepts him, I will ask my elder brother for love and let him be lenient. It's considered that Chen Zhi made meritorious service. If it fails, I can't blame me for not being merciless."
"This is the right reason, guard it, what do you think?" Xu Zhi achieved his goal and asked Chen Zhi with a smile. He was in great interest at this time, so he sold his favor to Chen Zhi.
"It depends entirely on the elders!" The crisis was temporarily relieved, and Chen Zhi stopped when he knew he was good.
"I know that the elders are the decision." Chen Bian looked at him coldly, "You have to seize this opportunity and bring glory to my Chen family. Don't let Mr. Xu down on his kindness."
"Yes, my nephew remember." Chen Zhi replied with a smile, but this smile fell into Chen Bian's eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable and he didn't want to see more for a moment, so he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to do with you, go out and call Chen Yun in."
……………………
With a creak, the door opened.
Chen Yun, who was waiting outside, showed joy on his face. He was already a little impatient. When he saw Chen Zhi coming out, he immediately approached and said with a smile: "Chen Zhi, you..." As soon as he spoke, he noticed that Chen Zhi was full of light and didn't seem to have suffered a big loss. Then he saw Xu Zhi beside Chen Zhi, and Chen Yun was dizzy and swallowed the words behind him.
"Mr. Xu, why did you come out?"
Including Chen Yun, the children of the Chen family quickly saluted.
"No need to be polite." Xu Zhi waved his hand, and didn't look at the others. He just talked to Chen Zhi. The two of them were talking and laughing, and the intention of meeting them too late was beyond words.
The Chen family members at the door looked dull and their eyes changed rapidly when they looked at Chen Zhi.
"Which is this singing?"
Chen Yun looked surprised. She thought the dust had settled, but she had never expected to see such a scene, so she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"The land was not taken away? Was Xu stopped me? When did Chen Zhi have a friendship with the three elders? Could it be that Xu became his backer? But even if the three elders are the masters, how could they send the younger generation out? It's too bizarre!"
The shock had not yet dissipated, and the children at the door heard Xu Zhi say to Chen Zhi again: "When will you have time to go to my husband's house? Let's have a good chat. Today is not very happy. I haven't seen you as young as a young man for a long time. It's great..."
What are you talking about? Not having fun? You also invited this ignorant to go to your home? Did the three elders take the wrong medicine?
Chen Yun and the people around him looked at me and I looked at you, all of whom were confused, but soon, there was a hint of fear and worry in Chen Yun's eyes.
Xu Zhi and Chen Zhi said a few words, and when they saw the reactions of the people beside them, they came to their senses, then stopped and turned back to the room.
He was so irritated by Chen Zhi that he felt like a confidant. He felt that Chen Zhi was not a person in the pool. He had the desire to make friends with him only after love. Then he joined hands to express his attitude. Taking a step back, even if Chen Zhi became a member of the crowd in the future, he would not have much risk as the three elders, and he would only act as a free move.
However, the children of the Chen family outside the door were all Chen Bian's confidants. No one knew what his second master planned. He thought that Chen Zhi's room would be eaten up, and he was waiting to see Chen Zhi crying. Chen Yun scolded Chen Zhi just now. Although they did not speak, they were also ridiculing him. As a result, Chen Zhi showed signs of a salted fish turning over. Everyone looked at Chen Zhi and became suspicious.
"The change is too fast, right? Did Chen Zhi use any magic tricks?"
Chen Zhi didn't care about this, and walked swaggeringly. Halfway through, he patted his head, looked back at Chen Yun, and laughed: "Look at my memory, Chen Yun, Fourth Brother Chen, the second uncle told you to go in, don't miss his affairs, I'll go back first. Look at your expression, I feel unhappy. This is not OK. Adjust it, don't let the elders see it, and it will affect the reputation."
"You!" Chen Yun's face turned pale. The situation suddenly changed. He forced himself to suppress his emotions. When he was stimulated by these words, he immediately gasped violently, but Chen Zhi smiled and left.
Seeing Chen Zhi's back disappearing around the corner, Chen Yun took a breath and said hatefully: "How arrogant! I don't know why Mr. Xu let him deceive him! Since my second uncle asked me to go in, I must reveal the true face of this person and let Mr. Xu know his villain's behavior!"
Indignation, Chen Yun walked into the room and saluted the two elders. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Chen Bian. Then the second master of the Chen family said, "Chen Yun, how many years have you been studying with me?"
Although he had sued Chen Zhi with a slander, Chen Yun did not dare not answer the question of Chen Bian, and bowed and replied, "I have been learning calligraphy with my second uncle for more than three years."
"Well, it's not too short," Chen Bian nodded with satisfaction and said to Xu Zhi, "My nephew is also very smart. As the leader of this generation, it might be better to include him in Guijing Academy. How about it?"
Xu Zhi was very lit up in his heart, knowing that this was the exchange condition proposed by Chen Bian, but he wanted the Chen family to send someone to participate in the screening, so he would not refuse, so he said: "It's good, but I'm not alone. I don't know how good this son has achieved in the Legalist knowledge? Whether it's him or Chen Zhi, they have to go through the assessment. I don't have the right to let them pass directly."
"That's enough," Chen Bian nodded and looked at Chen Yun, "Have you heard it? There is a chance now, you and Chen Zhi will participate. I hope you can seize the opportunity."
