Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drunk
Drinking and mishapting?
Early the next morning, when he woke up from Chun Nuan Pavilion and looked at the woman in front of him who was tidying up her clothes as if nothing had happened, Chen Mo wanted to throw the pot on the wine, but he knew very well that although it had something to do with the wine, his consciousness was very clear last night, but ......
Chen Mo didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.
"Childe woke up?" The woman seemed to be aware of it, turned her head to look at Chen Mo, and smiled when she saw him wake up.
"Cough~" Chen Mo coughed, withdrew his gaze from the woman, and said with a slight embarrassment: "Can my sister avoid it first?" ”
The woman looked at Chen Mo's embarrassed expression, giggled, and thoughtfully helped Chen Mo put his clothes in front of the couch, then bowed down and retreated.
It wasn't until the woman left that Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, got up and dressed quickly, and pushed open the window.
Chun Nuan Pavilion is not open in the downtown area, Chen Mo pushed open the window, the street outside is a little cold, and occasionally pedestrians passing by are mostly scholars.
Looking at the street scene outside the window, Chen Mo's somewhat troubled mood gradually calmed down, and he now somewhat understood why those scholars always liked to run into the Qinglou, celebrities and gentlemen.
"Virtuous brother!" The door was pushed open, Cao Cao strode in, saw Chen Mo, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "How was yesterday?" ”
"The teacher strictly forbade me to enter the Qinglou before, which seems to be not unreasonable." Chen Mo held his hand on the edge of the window, shook his head and sighed: "In such a place, it is indeed easy to wear down the spirit of a man. ”
"It's inevitable that Ziyuan has his concerns, but this Qinglou is not as unbearable as you imagined, if it wasn't for your talent last night, you said that sister-in-law would be so easy to be happy with you?" Cao Cao sat on the seat, took a sip of water and said, "But the virtuous brother was talented and demeanor last night, which is really heartbreaking." ”
Although Chen Mo drank too much, he would not break the piece, what happened last night, he probably remembered, although he drank too much and did not make radical remarks, but he was extraordinarily open, and he was more uninhibited, after waking up at this time, thinking of himself last night, he really had the urge to hide his face and leave, was that really himself?
"Where's Da Lang?" Thinking of last night's events, Chen Mo blushed a little, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"I arranged for him to rest, and he should wake up at this time." Cao Cao laughed.
"This time I bothered Brother Meng De to spend money." Chen Mo got up and saluted Cao Cao, he was the one who benefited the most from this gathering, but it was Cao Cao who paid for the banquet, and Chen Mo felt a little indebted in his heart.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's just a gesture." Cao Cao said with a smile, just like Chen Mo felt that it was not a big deal to memorize a book of 10,000 words in three or five days, although the cost of Chun Nuan Pavilion was large, but for Cao Cao, it was like a drop in the bucket, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Yuan Shao and the others have already left, Cao Cao and Chen Mo have breakfast in the Chunnuan Pavilion, they also said goodbye to each other and left, although the Chunnuan Pavilion is good, but it is not a place to live for a long time.
On the way home, Chen Mo and Da Lang didn't speak, Chen Mo found that his luck had risen a lot, Chen Mo was studying this, what celebrities he generally knew would not make his luck grow, only if the other party was willing to make friends with you, his luck would change with the change of the other party's attitude.
As for Da Lang, after leaving the Chun Nuan Pavilion, he returned to his indifferent appearance.
The increase in luck does not mean the increase in the number of lives, last night Chen Mo saw the lives of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, one is 88, the other is 89, in comparison, Cao Cao's life count of 83 is a little low.
As for Deng Yun, Wang Jing and Shi Sun Rui, they are relatively low, and their lives of more than sixty are not much stronger than Chen Mo.
When I returned to Zangfu, it was already three poles of the sun.
"Childe is back!" When Juan'er saw the two of them, she hurriedly got up to meet them and helped Chen Mo remove her robe.
"Why is Juan'er so tired?" Chen Mo looked at Juan'er's tired face and wondered.
"Juan'er waited for her son last night and never rested." The steward on the side sighed, it is a good thing that Chen Mo can go out to participate in the banquet, and he has not returned all night, which is also very common in this Luoyang City, but this girl is a dead brain, Chen Mo does not come back, she will not rest, and after several persuasions to no avail, the steward will give up.
"Silly girl." Chen Mo rubbed Juan'er's hair, a little distressed: "In the future, if I don't return too late, I will go to rest by myself." ”
Chen Mo didn't understand much before, but now he gradually understands that there will be a lot of exchanges and entertainment between scholars and people, and there will be many times when they don't return all night.
"The maid is worried that no one will take care of him when he returns." Juan'er lowered her eyebrows.
"Now go to sleep." Chen Mo took the robe from Juan'er's arms and pointed in the direction of the wing.
"But......" Juan'er wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Mo.
"Go and rest, or I won't take you out in the afternoon." Chen defaulted to the truth.
"Oh~" Juan'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, she saluted Chen Mo, turned around and walked in the direction of the wing, walked a few steps and stopped, turned back, took the robe from Chen Mo's hand, saluted Chen Mo again, and then turned around and left quickly.
"This girl~" Chen Mo looked at Juan'er's stumbling back, shook his head and smiled.
In the following days, Chen Mo resumed his previous life again, and there were fewer times when he went to Tai Academy, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would invite him to a banquet from time to time to accompany him, for this kind of thing, Chen Mo did not refuse, but he rarely stayed in the Qinglou anymore, although it felt nostalgic, just thinking that those women and many people were like this, even if there was a choice, Chen Mo still had a lot of rejection in his heart.
To put it simply, Chen Mo has a little cleanliness fetish, this kind of thing, it is enough to experience it once, too much, he is afraid that he is like those drunken and dreamy scholars, addicted to it and unable to extricate himself, in this life, women are just embellishments, and they must always do something to achieve it, so as not to come to the world in vain, this is probably Chen Mo's thoughts during this time period.
On the official career, there is no improvement for the time being, but Chen Mo is not in a hurry, he treats people and things, as before, and does not feel that he is superior to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, Luoyang's three religions and nine streams are countless times more complicated than Dangli, and they are countless times more interesting, some new things, Chen Mo will try to experience it, but he will never indulge in it, if he says that what he is most nostalgic for, is the chess stall, he will go to see it every three or five days, watch a group of old people play, that kind of invisible confrontation, The contest of wisdom made Chen Mo addicted more than the transcendence and enjoyment of the body.
Playing chess is still mostly losing, even if he changes opponents, he can see that in this small pavilion, none of the old people who come to play chess are simple, and the number of lives is scary.
Time, just like this, came to June quietly, on this day Chen Mo was taking Juan'er to play chess with the old man, and when he saw Cao Cao coming with a few people, he called out from afar: "Virtuous brother...... Uh, Lu Gong is here too? ”
In the end, Cao Cao's eyes widened in some consternation, looking at the old man playing against Chen Mo, a little incredible, when did his little brother become friends with Lu Gong?
