Chapter 31: The Moon Dan Commentary
The master and servant followed Cao Cao all the way to Chongwen Street, and then turned from Chongwen Street to Shangximen East Street, which is one of the twelve main streets of Luoyang City.
Xu Shao's mansion is being built here, and when the three of them came to Yimen, there were already a lot of people crowded outside Xu Shao's mansion, mostly boys like Chen Mo, and some young celebrities among them.
"I don't want the Yuedan review to be so lively." Chen Mo was a little curious, and he had it last month, but Chen Mo saw through his intentions, and it was difficult for a wealthy family to enter the eyes of Xu Zijiang, and he had nothing to do with these two words, so he didn't go to join in the fun.
"Childe, why is the door closed?" Juan'er asked with some curiosity.
"Mr. Zijiang only evaluates three people in January, and this closed door is the exam question, and whoever can get in will be evaluated for whom." A disciple of Taixue recognized Chen Mo, although Chen Mo had not been in Taixue for a short time, he still had some popularity in Taixue.
"Brother Li." Chen Mo hugged his fists at the visitor and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I look good." ”
The name of the person is Li Qing, and he is also a son of a famous family, and he is also a famous family in the party, but Li Qing belongs to the side branch of the side branch, a few years older than Chen Mo, and the people of the state generation are fierce, Li Qing has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he has a good hand in training.
Perhaps because of their similar backgrounds, and because his grandfather served under Zang Hong when he was young, Chen Mo was quite close to Chen Mo after entering the Tai Academy, and the two had a private discussion and admired Chen Mo.
"I also want to ask Brother Chen why he hasn't been to Tai Academy these days?" After Li Qing and Cao Cao greeted him, he smiled at Chen Mo and asked.
"There are some mundane things that have never passed." Chen Mo unveiled these words, then looked at the closed door and said with a smile: "Brother Li is also here to participate in this Yuedan evaluation?" ”
"It's better to give it a try." Li Qing naturally hopes to be evaluated by Xu Zijiang, although he knows that the chance is slim, but if he can be favored by Mr. Zijiang, even if the evaluation is not too good, for Li Qing, it can also help fame, and it will always help him in his career in the future.
"Brother Chen, where have you been all these days?" While the two were talking, several other Tai Academy students who were familiar with each other also saw Chen Mo and leaned over to this side.
"Something mundane." Chen Mo talked casually with everyone, during this time in Tai Academy, Chen Mo learned a lot of things, the most important of which is that when talking to a group of people, he can take care of everyone, so that the other party feels that he is talking to the other party seriously, and feels the attention and politeness from Chen Mo, which may also be a manifestation of demagogy.
As a bystander and an old fritter, Cao Cao can clearly perceive that except for the young man named Li Qing at the beginning, Chen Mo is perfunctory most of the time, talking to someone for a few sentences to lead the topic to another person, and then the two discuss, when Chen Mo talks to other people, he interjects from time to time, and the feeling of the person concerned is that the three of them are chatting enthusiastically, even if Cao Cao is such an old fritter is stunned by Chen Mo's hand, there is still this practice?
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Mo took Juan'er to find Cao Cao on the side.
"It's over?" Cao Cao looked at the Tai Academy disciples who were chatting more and more enthusiastically, shook his head and exclaimed, "Brother Xian has taught my brother a lesson today. ”
"Almost, they still have some time, so I won't accompany them." Chen Mo nodded and said, "Brother, this door is closed, how are you going to open your eyes for me?" ”
"Let the virtuous brother see the means of being a brother today." Cao Cao laughed, took Chen Mo and Juan'er around the main entrance, and walked to the alley on the side.
Compared with the hustle and bustle on the main street, this alley is much quieter, Cao Cao took the two of them around and found a side door.
Cao Cao stepped on the opposite wall with one foot and jumped with the force of recoil, his hands had already climbed up the wall, and he jumped up with both feet on the wall, and the skillful movement made Chen Mo stunned for a while.
"Come on!" Cao Cao beckoned to Chen Mo.
"That's how brother does it?" Chen Mo was a little amused, jumped up, put his hands together, and had already climbed the wall, looking at Cao Cao a little speechlessly: "Didn't my brother also use this method back then?" ”
"He went in at the beginning of the year and pretended to be a servant." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Chen Mo felt that if he mixed up with Cao Cao again, he would definitely learn badly.
"Childe, Cao Gong, come down quickly." Juan'er didn't know when, she had already entered the courtyard and beckoned to the two people standing on the wall chatting.
"The door isn't closed?" Chen Mo lowered his head, looked at the open side door, and said with some embarrassment.
"Well, no." Juan'er nodded.
Chen Mo: "......"
Cao Cao: "......"
The two glanced at each other, smiled awkwardly, and each jumped off the wall, Cao Cao was old and sophisticated, he had never seen any scene, haha smiled, and then the embarrassment was revealed, Chen Mo was still a little blushing after all.
"Brother, the others also came in like this?" Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao curiously.
"Naturally not, when he was still in Nanyang, he just reported his name and surname, and the door opened, and Xu Zijiang was also a gallless rat who tended to be inflammatory, if it weren't for his reputation now, Cao Mou wouldn't have bothered to bring his brother to see this famous and famous person." Cao Cao said as he walked: "So, to deal with this kind of person, you can't talk to him about the rules, if you die outside the door like your friends, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter for the rest of your life." ”
"Reasonable." Chen Mo nodded in agreement, at this point, he was very supportive, at the beginning in the Yellow Turban Army, if he received food in accordance with the rules of the Yellow Turban Army, the mother and son would starve to death before they arrived in Quyang.
Cao Cao seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, and he came to the outside of the main hall, where several domestic servants were still waiting for someone to sign up outside the door, so that he could pass it on, and suddenly saw a group of three people swaggering out from the side, and several domestic servants were a little stunned.
The steward headed by "Cao ......" saw Cao Cao, his face changed, and the words he blurted out stopped again, Cao Cao is not a nobody back then, he dared to shout, Cao Cao slashed him with a sword, and the head of his own family couldn't do anything, looking at Cao Cao with a stiff smile on his face and saying: "How could Cao Yilang be here?" ”
"Today is the Moon Day Review, why do you think I'm here?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.
"This ......" the steward frowned, "The head of the family has already commented on the speaker a few years ago, and the speaker came today, but it broke the rules of the head of the house." ”
"Don't worry, it's not me who is here to comment today, it's my virtuous brother who came to ask for a comment, and I'm tired of spreading it." Cao Cao said with a big grin.
"This ......" The steward looked at Chen Mo beside Cao Cao, his first impression was good, this should be a reasonable person, he ignored Cao Cao at the moment, and said to Chen Mo: "This son, there are rules for the Yuedan review." ”
"I know, but the rule is that whoever can come in will be judged, and now that I have come in, according to the rules, Mr. Zijiang should also judge me!" Chen Mo said with a smile.
Steward: "......"
is worthy of being the person next to Cao Cao, so he should not be deceived by his appearance.
The steward stiffened his face and bowed down and said, "I haven't asked the name of the son yet, so I can go and pass it on to the head of the family." ”
"Xia Qiu, Chen Mo."
