Chapter 69: The Dinner Party
The sky is darkening and the lights are shining, and for most of us, the day is over, but for others, this is the time when the day really begins.
Luoyang's green buildings will naturally not only have Chun Nuan Pavilion, not all green buildings are only open to a small number of people like Chun Nuan Pavilion, most of the green buildings can enter if they have money, but in terms of style, it is not a little bit worse than Chun Nuan Pavilion.
At this time, the prostitution hall will also come out to make a big deal of business, compared with the implicit of the Qinglou, the means of the prostitution hall to show up the business are much more unrestrained.
Of course, there are a lot of nightlife in Luoyang City, not only the prostitution halls of the Qinglou, the tricks on the street, the pastries also have their attractive charm, drinking warm wine in the elegantly furnished restaurant, chatting with friends, while enjoying the night view of Luoyang is also a good choice for most people who have just arrived in Luoyang.
Probably tired of staying in Chun Nuan Pavilion, this time Yuan Shao invited Chen Mo to banquet Chen Mo was not in Chun Nuan Pavilion, but in terms of pattern and grade, it is no worse than Chun Nuan Pavilion, the Yuan family is the fourth and third princes, although the family background is prominent, but in this Luoyang City, there are also many equally prominent families, such as this Yanyu Pavilion, which belongs to the Yang family.
"Brother Chen, meet again."
Looking at Yang Xiu, who had a smile on his face in front of him, but his aura was quite sharp, and his eyes were full of provocation and eagerness, Chen Mo smiled a little helplessly: "I am also very relieved to see Brother Yang again." ”
"Today, there are many classmates from Tai Academy, everyone is going to learn together, and Brother Chen will definitely give you one or two advice later." Yang Xiu smiled.
"Just advise, the silent talent is shallow in learning, and the way of poetry and song may not be able to reach the eyes of Brother Yang." Chen Mo shook his head.
"Then discuss the art of war, Brother Chen's conquest of the Runan Gepi thieves this time really opened Yang's eyes! There are many questions, I would like to ask Brother Chen for advice. Yang Xiu bowed slightly and said, "Brother Chen, don't shirk." ”
"It's fine." People have said it to this point, and then shirk it, firstly, to show weakness, and secondly, to look down on people.
"See you later." Yang Xiu saluted at Chen Mo.
"See you later."
Looking at Yang Xiu who was leaving, Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo with a smile and said, "Brother Xian seems to be a little afraid of him?" ”
"Yes, somewhat." Chen Mo nodded and said: "If he is pure to provoke, I am not afraid, but I am afraid that such a sincere attitude and a person who is bent on seeking advice, I can't ignore it." ”
"Yang Xiu's son also has the ability to never forget, and is studious, and you are general, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I thought that you are the same age, and both are young and handsome, you should cherish each other, but who knows that you always avoid it." Cao Cao shook his head, things in this world are really wonderful, looking at Yang Xiu's posture, he obviously admires Chen Mo's talent and wants to be a confidant, at least in Cao Cao's eyes, if these two people can sympathize with each other, it will definitely be rumored to be a good story for a while, but Chen Mo's attitude towards Yang Xiu is obviously not as eager as Yang Xiu.
"It's not, it's just ......" Chen Mo sighed: "If my family is well-off and I don't have to run for a living, I would also be willing to sit down with him and discuss, but now...... Let's raise a family first. ”
"Hmm~" Cao Cao suddenly touched his chin, looked at Chen Mo carefully for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: ", now I can see the difference between the two of you." ”
"Oh?" Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao curiously: "Where did my brother say?" ”
"Yang Xiu is indeed highly talented, but he has no experience in the world, many times he does not know how to advance and retreat, he has an arrogant temperament, and he will not make friends with people who are not similar in talent; Although the virtuous brother is also arrogant, he is quite introverted, and he is sociable, and the scholar can discuss the ancient and modern times of the world, and the peddler's pawn, but he can also talk about the weather harvest, and the virtuous brother looks more like a person. Cao Cao touched his nose, it stands to reason that he Cao Cao is also a celebrity, and he can play with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers in Luoyang, Yang Xiu is the third prince of the fourth world, and he should not be left out in the cold, but just now Yang Xiu came over, except for starting to talk to Cao Cao, at other times, it was basically the same as not having Cao Cao by his side.
This character is actually not very pleasing, compare yourself, look pleasing to the eye, no matter whether the other party looks at you or not, you are willing to make friends, even if you surrender your identity, but you can't look down on it, no matter how high your status is, you won't care.
Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao, a little speechless, I suspect that you are scolding us, one is like a human, the other is not even like a human being, neither of us is a human being?
"Brother, can't I be a person?" Chen Mo sighed.
"Brother has no intention of doing so." Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "It's just that the arrogance of the two of you is different, maybe the virtuous brother has experienced a lot of hardships, so he will pay attention to proportions when interacting with people, Yang Xiu has not been sharpened, and sometimes he doesn't care too much about others." ”
In general, how the two of them can learn, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, but if it is said to give people a feeling, Chen Mo is more likable than Yang Xiu most of the time, although he is also polite, but Chen Mo gives people the feeling of humility, Yang Xiu gives you the feeling that it is like the other party is handing over at a broken knot, I didn't see that when the two first got acquainted, Chen Mo and a group of peddlers and pawns chatted together without the slightest sense of disobedience, you let Yang Xiu try.
Chen Mo didn't say much about this, while talking, the two had already found Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu didn't come this time, after all, it was Cao Cao who introduced Chen Mo before, but this time, it was for Chen Mo to set up a banquet, a concubine has this qualification? Anyway, no matter what others think, it is impossible for Yuan Shu to come to support this field, no matter how great you make a contribution, the concubine is the concubine, and it is okay to sit at the same table, but if I want to support you, it is impossible.
"There have been some official duties on the highway recently, so it's no wonder that Mo Lang is strange." Yuan Shao pointed to the position next to him and asked Chen Mo to sit under him, what his brother thought, Yuan Shao naturally knew, but in front of outsiders, it was impossible for Yuan Shao to run to dismantle his brother's platform.
"At the beginning of the public banquet, Mo was already flattered, and he couldn't be blamed because he was silent about official affairs, and the highway public was worried about state affairs?" Chen Mo smiled and invited others to take a seat, and only after everyone sat down did he take a seat, and smiled at Yuan Shao.
"I'm ashamed to say that Runan was originally my Yuan family's hometown, and this time the Ge Pi thieves made a rebellion, and Shao should have personally led the troops to recruit, but in the end, he wanted to run away from Molang." Yuan Shao motioned for the waiter to start the banquet and smiled at Chen Mo.
"In this battle, the Yuan family also has a lot of help, if it weren't for the Yuan family's help to coordinate the manpower of each county, then there are tens of thousands of people in Gepi, and I am waiting for more than a thousand people to be covered in iron, and it is difficult to fight against them!" Chen Mo smiled modestly.
"Brother Chen!" Yang Xiu arched his hand and smiled: "The way of war, Xiu also knows a little bit about it, this time Brother Chen in the battle of Runan, in Xiu's opinion, if all the strategies are from the hands of Brother Chen, then whether Nanton scares off the Gepi thieves in a battle or then detours a hundred miles, directly hitting the Gepi thieves' lair, it is quite exquisite, but it is the later joint efforts of the four counties to exterminate the Gepi thieves, the general trend has been achieved, the four counties are too guarded, the family is meritorious, but with the current situation, more teaching and scheduling, at this point, if there is no Brother Chen, I am afraid that the family of the four counties may not be able to exterminate the Gepi thieves so quickly, and also four counties to settle down. ”
Chen Mo obviously noticed that the smile on Yuan Shao's face was disappearing little by little, and he said with a smile: "What Brother Yang said is not unreasonable, but how to put aside this art of war for the time being, if you can win a war, you can win only if you have the right time, place and people, you can win, if there is no Yuan family and other families to help each other, Mo alone, even if you add the entire military captain, it will be difficult to succeed, don't think that if you attribute the credit to one person, it will be too high for me." ”
"Not really." Yang Xiu shook his head and pondered: "This battle is like a medicine dispensed by a doctor, the medicinal materials themselves naturally have the effect of curing diseases, but if there is no medicine to induce, then no matter how good the medicine is, it is just a waste, and Brother Chen, in this battle, it is like the medicine in the decoction." ”
"Brother Yang thinks too highly of me, it was General Bao Hong who commanded the war at that time, and he couldn't be silent about the little military marquis at that time, this medicine should also be General Bao instead of below." Chen Mo smiled: "Besides, there is medicine, if there is no good medicine, it is useless." ”
"Mo Lang don't be humble, Bao Hong, we all know him, but if he has this ability, the court will not take him to prison this time." Without waiting for Yang Xiu to speak, Yuan Shao had already interrupted the conversation between the two with a smile.
There is no way, if you continue to say this, Yuan Shao has an urge to get Yang Xiu out on the territory of the Yang family, originally Yang Xiu wanted to help Chen Mo hold a celebration banquet here, but Yuan Shao didn't agree to the kindness of the Yang family, and Yang Xiu is quite talented, and he is also a young hero, at most, it is only for Chen Mo, and it is also a good thing for young people to learn from each other.
Who would have thought that Yang Xiu didn't come to confront Chen Mo, but kept praising Chen Mo, and you can praise it, how do you feel that you are saying that my Yuan family is incompetent?
And didn't you see that Chen Mo has been helping you round the field? Yuan Shao just watched from the side, tired for Chen Mo, Yang Xiu, this kid, is really smart, and what he said is reasonable, but ...... I just want to beat him!
"Yang Xiu and Chen Mo are both young heroes, and the two are close in age, so it is understandable that they cherish each other." Cao Cao sat opposite Chen Mo, saw Yuan Shao speak, and said a word, and then said with a smile: "This time the virtuous brother is appointed as the lieutenant of the military academy, although he is young, but if he talks about merit and ability, it is also suitable. ”
"Speaking of Fengyue, I heard that Brother Chen accepted Yun Si of Chun Nuan Pavilion." Yang Xiu said with a smile: "The sisters-in-law of Chunnuan Pavilion are all talented, Brother Chen can convince them, the literary talent must be extraordinary, and I will definitely have a discussion with Brother Chen tonight." ”
Chen Mo: "......"
I seem to have said that I am not good at poetry.
"Good!" Yuan Shao stroked his palms and smiled: "I have already seen Chen Mo's Art of War, but this poem, except for the Spring Warm Pavilion that day, I have never seen it again, Mo Lang doesn't want to let me down." ”
Chen Mo smiled bitterly and nodded: "Do your best!" ”
