Chapter 21: Luoyang
The bandits were dispersed by Chen Mo, and as soon as the crisis was resolved, Chen Mo came back with his men and horses, and the surrounding vendors gave way, looking at Chen Mo's gaze was a little different from before.
Before, Chen Mo was just the son of a family, and he was easy-going, and he didn't despise their background, which was quite favorable, but everyone valued Chen Mo's identity more than himself, but after this incident, this son repelled hundreds of bandits with more than a dozen guards, and they naturally couldn't see that these guards around Chen Mo were different from ordinary guards, and the credit was naturally attributed to Chen Mo, who had a good background and ability, and at this moment they all had a sense of awe for Chen Mo.
"Good archery." Cao Cao stretched out his hand, pulled Chen Mo into the wheel, turned his head and smiled at the beard: "Your surname is Luo?" ”
"Exactly." The bearded man hurriedly bowed and said.
"It's also a little righteous, if you don't dislike it, are you willing to enter my door?" Cao Cao smiled, he felt that this person had a good character, and he could quickly mingle with a group of strangers along the way, it was a pity to be a businessman, the Cao family also had their own caravan, and Cao Cao had a heart of love.
"Naturally!" Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Luo Yu see Cao Gong." ”
"Excuse me, this trip will follow me into Luoyang, and other things will be arranged later." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Deal with your things first." ”
"Whoa!" Luo Yu agreed, and retreated with suppressed excitement, for people like them, it is a great joy to be able to find a family as a backer, maybe there will be a chance to enter the career in the future.
"So sloppy?" Chen Mo sat down again, looked at Cao Cao and asked with a smile.
"It's not counted, this person is innocent, and he also has some ability, the most important thing is that he has a good character, I'm afraid I will stay in Luoyang for a while, and there is just a lack of a person to deal with chores, I think this person is good, and he should be competent as a steward." Cao Cao laughed.
"That makes sense, congratulations to Brother Mengde." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, his eyes looked at Na Luo, and his luck rose a lot, indicating that what Cao Cao said was true, and he was not pretentious: "It is also artificial." ”
"Actually, the virtuous brother has been friends with this person earlier, can't you see it?" Cao Cao was puzzled, Chen Mo gave him the feeling that he was that kind of open-minded person, this Luo Yu did have some ability, and it was still useful to recruit him as a domestic servant.
"The future is uncertain, don't delay others." Chen Mo shook his head, although he was confident, Chen Mo didn't know what the situation was like when he went to Luoyang, but he knew that he didn't need too many people around him now.
"With the talent of a virtuous brother, he will have great achievements in the future, so there is no need to worry so much." Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "Another day, I will take the virtuous brother to meet a few old friends, these are all people with prominent family backgrounds, and they will definitely be helpful to the virtuous brother in the future." ”
"Then thank you Brother Mengde here." Chen Mo only knows the characters that teachers often talk about in Luoyang, and being able to get to know some Luoyang talents will also help him gain a firm foothold in Luoyang in the future.
The next journey was quite smooth, although there were occasional bandits robbing the road, but there was basically no threat, so after another half a month, they arrived in Chenggao.
From Chenggao to Luoyang, with the current speed of the team, it will take three days to arrive, but according to Cao Cao, after Chenggao, it is the river. Nanyin boundary, and then go inside, this piece is regarded as the last barrier of the Han Dynasty, there will be no bandits in this area, so the two of them separated from the army with their families, carriages and horses, and accelerated their march, but in two days, they arrived in Luoyang.
The outline of the castle was not very shocking when it came into view, but as the chariots and horses approached, the whole castle gradually enlarged in view.
Luoyang is built in the north of Luoshui, the coast is full of green trees, pedestrians are constantly coming, Chen Mo and his party's cars and horses are quite eye-catching on the road, but at this moment they are not brilliant in the crowd, and the cars and horses that occasionally drive by are much wider than their cars and horses.
Standing on the wheel, Chen Mo looked at the Luoyang City, even if he had seen some of the world over the years, but when he saw that the city gradually occupied his sight, Chen Mo also had a sense of shock.
The five-zhang high city wall is afraid that it is difficult to find the second city wall in the world with such a majestic one, the huge city gate is constantly swallowing the crowd of people, although there are many pedestrians, carriages and horses, but it is orderly, the huge city gate hole is deep and dark, like a giant beast that has been crawling on the earth since ancient times, swallowing the crowd, people under the city, can not help but feel their own insignificance and awe of this city.
On top of the city walls, a soldier on guard condescendedly surveyed the passing crowd.
"What a hero!" Chen Mo couldn't help but admire.
Cao Cao sat on the side and said with a smile: "When Cao first saw this city, he was also like a virtuous brother, but after watching it for a long time, he always felt that it was full of a corrupt atmosphere. ”
Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, then shook his head and did not answer.
Cao Cao also felt it, and immediately found that it was inappropriate, seeing that Chen Mo had no different color, his heart was a little calm, and while handing over the paperwork to the captain of the city gate, he smiled at Chen Mo and said: "According to the law, if you want to worship Tong Zilang, you need to recite nine thousand words of scriptures, can the virtuous brother be sure?" ”
Although Zang Hong asked Chen Mo to come to Luoyang to be a boy boy, but the boy boy is not so easy to be, there are relevant assessments, and the nine thousand words are the charter set by Xiao He back then.
"Okay." Chen Mo didn't want to be too prominent.
"Brother Xian, don't you want to ask which scripture to memorize?" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Although Cao has already made a decision, there are still some relatives and friends in Luoyang, and they may be able to help the virtuous brother." ”
Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Cao Cao suspiciously: "The younger brother has only been studying for three years, and now there are several books such as Analects, Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Yi, Book of Rites, Book of Songs, Mencius, etc., in addition to several military books, but are there others?" If so, can Brother Meng De borrow it? If you have 10,000 words, you can memorize it in three or five days. ”
If he said that he could memorize it in one day, Chen Mo felt that it was a little too public, so he relaxed the time.
Cao Cao: "......"
I wanted to laugh, but somehow I couldn't laugh, especially Chen Mo's serious expression was not pretending, and along the way, with Cao Cao's understanding of Chen Mo, he was not the kind of person who liked to be public, that is to say, what he said was probably true, after being silent for a long time, Cao Cao tried to squeeze out a smile and said: "These...... It's enough, Cao's house is on the street of Zhengyangmen, it's easy to inquire, if the virtuous brother needs it, you can go there to find me, now that I've arrived in Luoyang, I still need to visit a few old friends, the virtuous brother will go by himself, and another day I will pick up the wind for the virtuous brother. ”
After saying that, after Cao Cao and Chen Mo hurriedly said goodbye, he left with the guards, Chen Mo was a little inexplicable, turned his head to look at Da Lang and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's urgent." Da Lang shook his head blankly.
Chen Mo nodded, raised his eyes and looked around, the unfamiliar city, the complicated streets, Chen Mo took out the address given to him by the teacher from his arms, it was the mansion that the master had purchased in Luoyang before, without Cao Cao, a local, to lead the way, Chen Mo could only ask all the way by himself, this Brother Meng De is too, at least show himself the way......
