C3 Great Splendor

Chen Qun is back!

A piece of news was being spread within the Chen family. As for Chen Qun's deeds, no one in the Chen family knew about them. Chen Yu knew that when Chen Qun was still a child, his grandfather Chen always thought he was different from the rest.

However, this was not the reason why Chen Qun was famous. He also felt that Chen Qun was very different from ordinary people when the current great scholar Kong Rong was with Chen Qun. To be friends with Chen Qun, to be a young man who could make Kong Rong treat him as a good friend, was in itself a miraculous thing that would make people feel that he was a good friend.

Chen Qun was the pride of the Chen Clan. Everyone believed that Chen Qun would definitely bring prosperity to the Chen Clan, and Chen Qun would surely become the future Patriarch of the Chen Clan. Towards this future Patriarch of the clan, the members of the Chen Clan all had extremely respectful attitudes.

Chen Yu had only met Chen Qun once or twice when he was young, but Chen Qun had never gone out to study. Chen Qun had personally taught him, this foolish nephew of his, to fish. Chen Yu knew that there was a huge gap between her and Chen Qun. One was a genius and the other was a fool. Both of them had become the Chen Clan's two most extreme examples.

Chen Qun really did come back, and with him came a new close friend of his, whose name was Xu Zijiang.

The most famous figure in Yingchuan's current era was Chen Shizhen, a famous scholar in the Han Dynasty. He had been a government official for many years, and had been living in seclusion in Xu City after the imperial court's many explorations. Due to the Chen clan's old age and weak health, he did not appear most of the time and because of Chen's early death, the Chief of the Chen clan had fallen to Chen Ji.

The Chen Family had a total of nine steps in front of them, while two bronze warbeasts stood on both sides of the steps.

In those years, Chen Si brought Chen Cheng and Chen Ji to the Xun family to be guests and display their talents. They were gathered on the star of the night. The next day, the Grand Historian played a song: "Five hundred miles is a gathering of the wise." The Han and the Spirit Emperors created the "Dexing Pavilion". After that, Chen Shi's descendants ascended to the throne, and Yingchuan's Chen family took the name of "De Xing, Huxing, De Ju" as a name, and became a famous family.

Early in the morning, the Chen family's patriarch, Chen Ji, arrived at the Danxing Hall. He leisurely sipped his tea while squinting his eyes as he sat in his seat. A thirty-something year old scholar was sitting in front of him. A young man with sparkling eyes was kneeling in front of Chen Ji. He was Chen Qun.

"Good tea." The Confucian scholar praised.

Chen Ji felt somewhat satisfied in his heart. This good Longjing Tea had come from Yangzhou, a thousand miles away, and even the water used to make it was the spring water from Yangzhou, the origin of the tea. It was absolutely original and tasteless.

Chen Ji opened his eyes and let out a light breath of air. Today was the annual examination day for all the young members of the Chen family, and all the young members of the younger generation were taking part in it.

As a noble family, the Chen family attached great importance to the nurturing of their disciples. Among the current disciples, besides Chen Qun, the one Chen Ji favored the most was his own youngest son, Chen Feng. Chen Feng had been exceptionally intelligent since he was young, and his thinking was very fast.

"Master, Mr Xu, the young masters are already waiting outside the house. Should we let them in?" A steward dressed in green said.

"Okay, let them in." Chen Ji straightened his body, squinting his eyes as he sat up straight.

After a moment, over twenty young men wearing long black robes with their heads bowed entered the hall, kneeling on both sides of Chen Ji.

Chen Ji pointed to the Confucian scholar next to him and smiled, saying, "Today is the annual family exam, and it just so happens to be a group of friends. Rennan Xu Zi has brought Mister Xu and the group to Xu Chang City. I have invited him to conduct the exam for you."

A Xu Shao from Renan? The one who set up the "New Moon Review", General Xu?

Xu Shao and his son were famous figures of the Great Han Dynasty, and every month, he would carry out a evaluation of those people. People called them the "New Moon Evaluation," and as long as someone entered the "New Moon Evaluation," their future would be limitless. Xu Shao's arrival gave everyone an opportunity to seize this opportunity, and they could spread their wings and soar into the sky.

"Hehe, I'm sure all of you have heard of Mr Xu's great name. As long as you receive his comments, I believe that your future path will definitely be filled with light." Chen Ji said proudly.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xu Zi also smiled and nodded in greeting.

After that, Chen Feng came up with a few questions, which were all related to poems and poems. They were all related to "Book of Songs", "Poems of Music", "Longsong", and so on, and not Director Chen Yu, so for a moment Chen Yu could not interject and was ignored by the others. Chen Feng, on the other hand, appeared extremely outstanding, and every time he spoke, he would always attract a wave of admiration, perhaps Chen Ji and Xu Zi would nod their heads, and even Chen Qun would secretly praise him.

"You have answered very well. This year is different from the past. I will ask Mister General Zi to give you a question. You can answer as you please." Chen Ji said.

Xu Zi was going to give the question!

Everyone was shocked, and their hearts began to fill with anticipation. If they answered Xu Zian's question, they would definitely be able to get the favor of him. If they could do it well, then their future would be limitless.

Xu Zizheng smiled slightly and said softly, "My question is, why does the High Ancestor always have peace, while the Effulgence Weapon always has Luo Yang?"

Everyone's hearts shook when they heard this question. They thought that the test was just a test of poetry and poetry, but instead it was just a test of opinion. The question that Xu Zi was going to set was indeed different from the others.

"The land of Luoyang is fertile, and there are risks of mountains and rivers, so our Emperor Guang Wu will make Luoyang the best policy, and Patriarch Gao will be safe for a long time."

The one who spoke was Chen Qian. In order to win Xu Zi's favor, she spoke first.

All the youths nodded their heads in agreement. Only Chen Yu and Chen Qun frowned, feeling somewhat disapproving in their hearts.

"Feng Er, you are a bit older than them, so you have some knowledge. Tell me about it." Chen Ji suddenly said to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng let out a light cough and said, "Although I'm not very clear about it, but I always feel that there must be a reason behind Master Gao's long peace. It must have been decided by the situation at that time."

Hearing this, Xu Zi nodded his head repeatedly, thinking that Chen Feng was indeed a man of great fame. His thoughts were extremely clear, and he was able to understand so much more than most people.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Chen Ji looked around and said indifferently.

"Mr. Xu, my second brother Chen Yu is a wise man. He must have his own opinions." The one who spoke was Chen Qian. Chen Qian thought to herself that if Chen Yu made a fool of herself and Xu Zi made a fool of her, then Chen Yu would never be able to turn the tables in her entire life.

With these words, everyone burst into laughter and began to whisper among themselves.

"Oh? "Who is Chen Yu? Can you share some insights with me?" Xu Zi said in confusion.

Chen Ji frowned. Of course, he knew that Chen Yu was a fool. However, it wasn't appropriate for Xu Zi to not answer her questions, so he could only helplessly point his finger at Chen Yu.

Chen Qun and Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, and turned their faces away. As for Chen Qian, she had a face full of schadenfreude, and everyone let out a disdainful laugh.

What was coming was finally coming! Chen Yu knew that Chen Qian would definitely deal with her, but she didn't expect him to use such a method to deal with her. He wanted her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

Chen Yu blinked and immediately recalled his previous life's comments about the former and the latter. In the end, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and straightened his body.

"Hehe, what is this fool doing? Is he really going to say something?"

"Sigh, our Chen Family has been made a joke by Mr Xu this time …" Everyone whispered to each other as they shook their heads and sighed. Having such a person from the same race was a disgrace to them. In the hearts of everyone, Chen Yu would definitely make a fool of herself this time.
