211. Chapter 211 Two Hanlins

In the following days, Chen Hao, in addition to the helpless professor Fu Pengfei, a genius disciple, visited the Xue family in person. When the Xue family learned that the inspector Chen Hao was visiting, Xue Chong, the head of the Xue family, not only led his grandson to personally welcome Chen Hao, he also agreed to Chen Hao's subsequent request.

Although Chen Hao was able to be the legitimate grandson of the Xue family after the Luoyang Flower Fair, he still made a lot of preparations to convince the Xue family. However, he didn't expect that the head of the Xue family was so happy. This made Chen Hao feel very happy, and he was also thinking that the Xue family would not have any requirements.

In the end, Xue Chong agreed so readily that there were conditions, but this condition made him laugh and cry, thinking that the Luoyang Flower Club really made him famous enough.

The head of the Xue family has two conditions. One is Chen Hao's character, because Xue Chong has a unique love for calligraphy. He has always loved Liu Gongquan's regular script, but since Chen Hao was born, Xue Chong fell in love with Chen Hao's crazy and unruly style of calligraphy. However, Chen Hao rarely has works published, so Xue Chong often regrets this!

The second condition is to let Xue Tai take Chen Hao as his teacher, which made Chen Hao feel a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, why did he have to accept disciples after he had just accepted one? He is not good at the Four Books and Five Classics. But seeing Xue Chong's appearance of never stopping until he achieved his goal, Chen Hao had to compromise in the end.

How could Chen Hao not know about Xue Chong's thoughts? Anyway, why not do it without suffering any losses? He could acquire disciples and exchange for thousands of acres of fertile land for writing. Chen Hao felt that it was worthwhile to obtain the land.

When this incident spread, the Henan Prefecture was talking about how much is Chen Hanlin's character worth. It is really incredible that a word worth thousands of acres of fertile land. Since then, a proverb has been circulating in Henan Prefecture: Thousands of fertile land are not as good as a book by Chen Hao...

Of course, many people think that Xue Chong's move was too wrong, and it was not worth it just a piece of calligraphy. However, Xue Chong just smiled at this and said to himself: "How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"

After the Xue family's affairs were resolved, Chen Hao would face the Pei family next. Chen Hao had no confidence in the Pei family, and had a premonition that this trip to the Pei family would definitely be unhappy.

When Chen Hao came to the door of Pei Mansion in his official uniform, he looked down and nodded to admire the surrounding environment of Pei Mansion. The mansion of Pei Mansion covers a vast area, and the towering gatehouse further demonstrates its prestige. After a moment of communication, the gate of Pei Mansion was wide open, and an old man with a crane hair led everyone towards Chen Hao.

When Chen Hao saw the old man walking towards him, he knew that this person must be Pei Zhu, so he took the lead and said, "I have seen Mr. Pei, so I hope you don't blame me if you have any trouble!"

"Mr. Chen's words made me feel frightened and uneasy. It is an honor to visit my humble house. It is a sin to have a misfortune and welcome me!" Pei Zhuang bowed to Chen Hao with a kind smile, and then invited Chen Hao to enter Pei's mansion.

The guide of Chen Haopei came to the mansion, and the journey dazzled Chen Hao. The mansion built mountains and ponds, lush bamboos and trees, wind pavilions, ladders and bridges, islands and winding paths, which can be a scenic spot in the capital.

The architectural layout of the mansion has obviously been carefully arranged. Although it is not magnificent and grand, it always feels the extreme luxury of the owner of the mansion, and it is just right, and it is not disgusting at all.

The two brought them to the living room to sit together. The two Hanlin scholars talked about everything. When they were excited, they laughed happily. To outsiders, they were both old and young, and they were very happy to talk, but in fact they had a hidden magic.

Chen Hao wanted to explain his future intention several times, but was skillfully transferred by Pei Zhu, who was so sophisticated. This made Chen Hao feel quite disappointed and also looked at the old man with admiration. Today he met a strong enemy, and he couldn't help but admire Chen Hao.

After taking the tea several times, he still didn't talk about the main business. Finally, Chen Hao saw that it was getting late, so he stopped talking nonsense and said, "Old Pei, I'm here today to discuss something. Please give me some advice!"

"Oh? Sir, please!" Pei Zhu said softly in circles when he saw Chen Hao say this.

Chen Hao bowed and said in a deep voice: "I believe that Mr. Pei has already made a scheming in his heart when he comes today. The reason why I came here is actually to let the Pei family support me to improve people's livelihood like the Xue family..."

As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, he wanted to hear what Pei Zhu had, but he never thought that Pei Zhu drank tea and drank tea. He was still very talkative just now but was silent. This made Chen Hao feel a little angry, so he said excitedly: "Did Mr. Pei have only learned Hanlin and have no place to guide his younger generation?"

As soon as Chen Hao's words finished, Pei Zhu's eyes suddenly opened, and then looked at Chen Hao and sneered: "Does Lord Chen know that this move is digging his own grave?"

"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully!" Chen Hao said loudly.

Pei Zhu pursed his lips, then changed his previous charitable expression and said: "There are no ones who have been left behind in the Eastern Capital to implement this strategy, but there are no ones who have succeeded. Could it be that they are not as good as you? No! Chen Hao is a smart person, and he should know the truth that motivates his whole body..."

"I will naturally understand that nowadays, regardless of the many vassal states and vassal states, there are many families like the Pei family. If they move Henan Prefecture, they will move Duji Road and even the Tang Dynasty..."

Seeing that Chen Hao was able to look at the overall situation so clearly, he also admired it, so he asked back: "Since you know this, why bother to make yourself boring and attract the world to the public? Stay safely in your Dongdu. By then, with the qualifications of an official, you can become the prime minister. Why do you have to ruin your bright future because of this matter? Sir, you must know that this gambling has no chance of winning. By then, no one will give you this gambling money..."

Pei Zhu's words are clear, but Chen Hao also understood the profound meaning of Pei Zhu's last sentence. If this matter is handled improperly, he will definitely be impeached by the states. After all, this is related to the interests of the Taoist priests of the states. How can this wind rise and even blow over the states?

That was because he was surrounded by enemies. Even Li Chen, who tacitly agreed to him, would abandon him as a pawn in the face of the pressure of various states. Just like Master Yan during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he served Liu Che loyally. However, under the pressure of the kings, Emperor Wu of Han had to execute him.

However, Chen Hao had already understood these things. Today, he was ready to stand in Pei's mansion. So he let out a long sigh and then said in a deep voice: "Old Pei, I have thought about it before..."

"This is a great good! You must know that there are countless gentry families in the world, how can you be as generous as the Xue family? How can you cut meat when you give up food and fortune? How can you be willing to cut meat?" Pei Zhuang saw that Chen Hao was not like a stubborn person, so he comforted him.
