Chapter 97 Choice(1/2)
The second prince's mansion is obviously much better than the third prince's. Even though it is not inferior to the fourth princess's, it is even better.
Although the difference in floor space may be almost the same, in other aspects, the difference is huge.
Chen An turned around and looked around, and could clearly feel that several lines of sight were coming, focusing on him at the moment.
There is no doubt that those are the guards at the second prince's residence.
Judging from their hidden circumstances, there is no doubt that they are masters.
There are no such skilled masters in the fourth princess's mansion.
Walking into the mansion, Chen An walked in under the leadership of a servant.
In a unique courtyard, Chen An met the second prince.
The second prince Cheng Hua is handsome and a very elegant young man. He is wearing a long robe at the moment. He looks elegant and elegant, like a gentle gentleman.
He looks to be in his early thirties, not very old, and there is a kind of nobility in his movements, which makes people know that he is extraordinary at a glance.
"Your Highness is having tea with Duke Wu, please wait a moment."
The servant on the side spoke calmly and asked him to wait.
Chen An smiled and just stood outside the door without saying anything else.
This stop lasted more than half an hour.
The sun is already high outside, and the sunlight is shining all around, making it look very hot.
Chen An's expression did not change at all, and he still stood there quietly, without saying a word, and remained calm.
At this time, the chess inside was finally played.
"But Mr. Chen has been kept waiting for a long time."
The second prince put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Chen An outside with some confusion before calling him in.
Chen An's expression did not change, and he walked straight into the hall, and then saluted: "I have met His Highness, and I have met Wu Guogong."
He looked calm and spoke.
The Wu Guogong in front of him is a middle-aged man with a rough face. He looks to be in his early forties, in the prime of life.
According to the information Chen An knows, Wu Guogong's cultivation is very strong, and it seems that he is only one step away from Gang Qi. He is considered a very famous figure.
Seeing Chen An salute respectfully, the second prince couldn't help but smile: "You're so polite."
"Because this game of chess requires you to wait outside for most of an hour, please don't blame me."
What else can Chen An say?
"Your Highness is willing to let me wait outside the palace. This is your honor. How can I blame you?"
Chen An looked serious and spoke in a sincere tone.
What is said openly is very beautiful.
As for the heart, that is another matter.
Chen An didn't have any special hobbies, so how could he still be happy after having people come over and wait for so long for no reason?
However, the second prince in front of him had no doubts and just smiled: "Please take a seat."
Soon, a seat came forward and was placed in front of Chen An.
Chen An sat directly on it.
Wu Guogong on the side suddenly frowned.
"I heard that Mr. Chen is a talented scholar from the Academy of Arts. His strategy once shocked everyone in the world. He is very famous."
The second prince smiled and said, "I think your master's attainments in poetry, calligraphy and painting should be quite good."
"I wonder if you can explain it?"
"It's just a little research."
Chen An nodded.
When he first awakened his memory, in order to hide his strength from the eyes of his family, he really pretended to be obsessed with calligraphy and painting, so he had done quite a bit of research on these things.
But it's just a bit of research. If you say it's very clever, it can't be counted.
In this regard, the second prince is obviously an expert.
He discussed with Chen An enthusiastically and had his own opinions on many places, which seemed very clever.
However, in this regard, Chen An's level was really limited, so he soon stopped talking and became popular.
"The poems written by His Highness are of a very high standard. I have only seen them in my life. They are truly the best poems in the world. I am ashamed to see them."
"Haha, Chang'an, you are overly praised."
The scene in front of me was exceptionally harmonious.
In addition to being a little unsure at the beginning, Chen An finally figured out some tricks and praised the second prince.
It doesn't matter how you do it, just praise it.
And the second prince obviously liked this too.
Then a harmonious scene appeared before our eyes again.
Only Mr. Wu Guogong sat aside, frowning secretly.
"It's getting late. I still have some important things to do at home, so I'll leave first."
After sitting for a while, Chen An looked at the sky and then took the initiative to resign.
"Well, you go back."
Regarding Chen An's resignation, the second prince also generously agreed: "If you are free after returning home, you can come to me at any time."
Of course, these words are just polite. After all, the second prince has so many things to do, how can he have time to talk about these things every day?
Chen An just smiled, not taking his words seriously, and then retreated directly.
After Chen An left, the second prince turned to look at Wu Guogong and began to smile: "Wu Guogong, what do you think of this son?"
"Flattery is nothing more than a villain."
Wu Guogong raised a cup of tea in his hand and then spoke calmly.
But looking at it like this, Wu Guogong has a pretty good impression of Chen An.
He was immediately beaten into a villain.
"It's not like he's a villain, but it's definitely different from what I imagined."
The second prince sighed: "I thought that a person like this must be a person with noble temperament and extraordinary talent, but I didn't expect that he is just a flatterer."
"But he does have good cultivation skills."
"Although his martial arts skills are good, if his character is not up to par, how can he be reused?"
Duke Wu shook his head and sneered: "Besides, if you are a flatterer, how can you go far in the martial arts if you don't have a strong will?"
"He is just relying on his temporary talent to be like this when he was young. I have seen many such people in the past. How many of them can reach the end of their strength?"
In response to these words, the second prince just smiled.
He knew the experience of the Wu Guogong in front of him, so he didn't find it strange.
Although Wu Guogong was born in a noble family, it is said that his talent for cultivation was not very good at the beginning, and he was far behind his brothers.
However, with his extraordinary perseverance, he managed to win, step by step, reached the level of perfect inner energy, and finally inherited the title of Duke Wu.
Having this experience may be the main reason why Wu Guogong is hostile to those geniuses.
Especially Chen An's previous actions made him look down upon him, thinking that this person had impure intentions.
"Having said that, this person is a genius after all, and he also has some talents. It would be a pity if he just let him go."
He smiled, and then said: "I wonder what you think, Mr. Wu Guo?"
"Isn't he the grandson of Chen Guogong?"
Wu Guogong said calmly: "If I remember correctly, Chen Guogong's eldest son is in your house at the moment. Just ask him to write a letter and recruit him."
"I think this person will be happy to come after learning about your solicitation from His Highness the Second Highness."
The second prince thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said with a smile: "That's true."
Neither the second prince nor Duke Wu paid much attention to Chen An.
Because if they care, they will investigate, and then they will know the true relationship between Chen An and his family.
Sending people from Chen An's family to summon him is probably not recruiting him, but forcing him away.
But obviously, neither of them took Chen An seriously.
Maybe when they thought about it, with Chen An's status, being able to be actively recruited by the second prince was already a great deal of luck.
After all, he is just an ordinary person, with no title and no profound background. Even if he has some cultivation, he is just a master of inner energy, and he is still far from being a powerful person.
