"Did you really do this?" Lu Fu, after discussing academic issues, looking at the beautifully crafted bamboo slips in his hand, Lu Zhi looked at Chen Mo with some suspicion.

"What does Lu Gong mean by this?" Chen Mo frowned and said: "This thing is engraved by Mo himself, and this bamboo slip is also polished by buying ordinary bamboo slips, if Lu Gong doesn't believe it, he is willing to demonstrate it for Lu Gong here." ”

"It's the old man who lost his word." Lu Zhi waved his hand, this word questioned the meaning of the other party's character, Lu Zhi looked at the bamboo slip in his hand and said: "It's just that if this bamboo slip talks about craftsmanship, I'm afraid that many craftsmen in the market may not be able to reach it, the most important thing is that this font, although it is not good, but it preserves the charm in the word, this kind of book is much more precious than ordinary books." ”

The word is Chen Mo's words, which Lu Zhi can be sure of, most people have their own uniqueness in writing, that is, Shen Yun, Lu Zhi has seen Chen Mo's words, and he also tasted it at the beginning, among the younger generation, Chen Mo's words are good, but to save this charm on the bamboo slips, it is not an ordinary carver can do it, and Lu Zhi did not see any remaining ink, which is a bit powerful.

"This ...... If you sell it, I don't know how much it is worth? Chen Mo didn't expect that the bamboo slips he had spent a day preparing could be so highly praised by Lu Zhi, so he couldn't help but ask.

If he could exchange it for money, he wouldn't mind making more of it and selling it in his spare time.

"You've been short of money lately?" Lu Zhi looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"Since I was a child, my family has been poor, and now I eat and live in Luoyang, most of them are still given by my teacher, and I feel guilty." Chen Mo also knew what Lu Zhi meant, among scholars, they rarely talked about money, but they were not in Luoyang, and they didn't know that life was difficult, Chen Mo was a little difficult to raise a few people now, so he naturally wanted to open up more financial resources.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, this kind of idea is good, but this kind of practice is indeed a bit ......" Lu Zhi touched his beard and nodded, and then shook his head, reading is a sacred thing in people's eyes, books can be given to friends, but there are not many people who sell them, after all, most readers are not willing to stain books with copper stench unless they have to.

Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Lu Zhi sighed, Chen Mo chose this way, he didn't want to say much, after all, he also knew a little about Chen Mo's situation, for Chen Mo's guilt to accept Zang Hong's funding, Lu Zhi also understood, he also came over like this back then, thought about it and said: "The business of the trader, after all, is Xiao Dao'er, with your talent, it is best not to waste your mind on such a trivial path." ”

A few days ago, the Son of Heaven also sent someone to him to ask about Chen Mo, obviously this little guy has entered the sight of the Son of Heaven, with Chen Mo's current performance, it is not difficult for him to take another step forward in the future, and the salary of the Han officials is not low, since he has now entered the eye of the Son of Heaven, it is not difficult for Chen Mo to be promoted to captain, with the captain's salary, at least it is enough to support his family, at least in Lu Zhi's opinion, Chen Mo's talent is wasted on learning carving and even running to sell goods.

"What Lu Gong said is very true, Mo Ye is only preparing to engrave a few books to supplement the family, and is not ready to make money from it." Chen Mo smiled and said, as for the merchants, they can wait for themselves to get up in the future, and raise a caravan to help them do business, there is no need to go by yourself, the reason why you have this idea is just that your money has been too tight recently, and you have to do it as a last resort.

"If it's just to solve the urgent need, the old man has an old friend, recently a few rolls of bamboo slips at home have been old, the handwriting is blurred, is about to find someone to re-engrave, I can give him this bamboo slip to see, if he is satisfied, you can let you carve, if this kind of craftsmanship, presumably my old friend will not be stingy with money." Lu Zhi looked at the bamboo slip in his hand and smiled.

"So, thank you Lu Gong." Chen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Don't you ask who it is?" Lu Zhi asked with a smile.

"If you are an old friend of Duke Lu, you must be a Coats." Chen Mo smiled.

"Do you remember where you and I played chess before?" Lu Zhi fumbled with the bamboo slips, obviously quite satisfied with Chen Mo's gift.

"Naturally, I remember." Chen Mo nodded, he was able to get to this point today, thanks to meeting Lu Zhi there.

"In three days' time, you will come here to find me, my old friend, you have also seen." Lu Zhi put down the bamboo slip and looked at Chen Modao.

At that time, there were a lot of people who played chess with Lu Zhi, but although they often met Chen Mo, none of them would talk to Chen Mo, at most they nodded their heads.

"There is one more thing ......" At this time, Lu Zhi obviously had the intention of sending off the guest, Chen Mo hesitated, looked at Lu Zhi and said, "General Gao's matter, can Duke Lu know?" ”

"Well, Gao Shun once listened to the tune under my account, this person has a righteous personality and majesty, this time he was framed by Qian Shuo and imprisoned, although it is a wish, but it is difficult to solve at this time." Lu Zhi nodded.

Why is it so hard to understand? Chen Mo probably guessed that the reason for the conflict between Gao Shun and Qian Shuo this time was because Gao Shun was dissatisfied with the way Qian Shuo selected the general, and Qian Shuo also criticized Gao Shun and sent him to prison because of this.

Now that Qian Shuo has just been appointed as the head of the eight schools in the West Garden, it is the time to establish his prestige, and based on this alone, the Son of Heaven will never let Gao Shun come out.

Even if he pleads, he has to wait for Qian Shuo to gain prestige.

Although Chen Mo had a similar prediction before, he was still a little disappointed when he heard Lu Zhi talk about it at this moment, and said to Lu Zhi: "Luoyang Prison is extremely tightly guarded, and I can't go through the door if I want to visit General Gao, I wonder if Duke Lu can let the last general visit one or two?" ”

After the military parade of the Son of Heaven, Gao Shun was escorted to prison by Qian Shuo, before Chen Mo could still visit Gao Shun every once in a while, but now he wants to visit again, but there is no way.

"It's rare to have this intention, and go, although the old man is not in charge of Xing Prison, but he also has some thin faces, just to visit, but it is not difficult, you go to visit again, just say that you are entrusted by me." Lu Zhi smiled, in general, he has a good impression of Chen Mo, he is talented, talented, and his personality is much calmer than that of his peers, and he knows how to repay his kindness, for such a junior who has both ability and political integrity, Lu Zhi does not mind mentioning it.

"Acquiescence!" Chen Mo got up, said goodbye to Lu Zhi and left the Lu Mansion, but after coming out, he did not go home, but bought wine and meat at the post house, borrowed a food blue from the post house, and went to prison directly with the food blue.

Sure enough, after reporting Lu Zhi's name, he explained the reason again, and this time no one stopped him, and he soon saw Gao Shun.

"You can also come in this Luoyang prison?" Looking at Chen Mo, who came in under the leadership of the jailer, Gao Shun was stunned.

"There is only one moment, and the military marquis should not make it difficult for me to wait." The jailer locked the door again, and when he left, he didn't forget to tell Chen Mo.

"There is labor." Chen Mo nodded, put down the food basket, and then put the wine and meat away, looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile: "The blessing of the Duke of Tolu, but Mo Yulu Weibo, there are only these, the general should not dislike them." ”

"I've been here for more than a month, and you're the first person to see you, besides the jailers." Gao Shun added a bowl of wine to himself, and the smile on his face was a little bitter: "When you float a big white!" ”

"Isn't the general a drinker?" Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun's wine bowl.

"I haven't drunk it in many years, and today I suddenly want to get drunk." Gao Shun looked at the turbid liquor in the bowl and smiled a little vicissitudes.

Everyone said so, Chen Mo didn't say more, picked up the wine bowl and touched Gao Shun, covered his face with his sleeves, and drank all the turbid wine in the bowl.

Chen Mo didn't say anything about getting him out of prison, so as not to make him even more upset, he just talked to Gao Shun about some interesting things about the military camp and how he trained in the army, Gao Shun just said some things he saw and heard after joining the army, and the two talked to themselves, but they were surprisingly harmonious.

In less than a moment, a pot of turbid wine had bottomed out, and the jailer had already run to urge, Chen Mo got up, looked at Gao Shun, who was lying on the desk and was asleep, shook his head and smiled, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Farewell, I have the opportunity to visit the general again." Chen Mo got up and said to Gao Shun.

"Don't bring wine next time, it's not a good thing." Gao Shun lay on the table and said dreamily.

"Well, I made a note of it." Chen Mo nodded, nodded to the jailer, the jailer had already opened the door, went straight out of the cell door, and strode out of the prison under the supervision of the jailer.

When I came out of the dark prison again, the sun shone on my body, and the gloom in my heart also dissipated a lot.

What is the world?

Glancing at the prison, Chen Mo walked towards the post house with a food basket, but he was thinking about what he had seen and heard since he entered Luoyang, Cao Cao was right, this magnificent ancient city, under the magnificent appearance, there is endless decay and twilight, it seems to be splendid and prosperous, but many things have begun to decay, constantly eroding the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but how to change, get rid of these decay, Chen Mo does not know.

There may be some ideas in his heart, but the resistance is too great, don't say that he can't do it, even if he can, Chen Mo won't do it.

Kill one person and save the world?

When the world was so fragile that it was pinned on one person, Chen Mo felt that it was better to forget it, not to mention that the person he killed was himself?

Back in the house, Yun Si and Juan'er were counting things.

"What's going on?" Chen Mo wondered.

"General Cao sent someone to say that there was a caravan going to Xuzhou and asked if we had anything to send back, and the things that Gongzi had prepared for the old lady and the head of the family were being counted." Juan'er said excitedly.

The old lady is Chen Mo's mother, who sent a letter to her family last time, and has been taken by the teacher to Sheyang to take care of her.

Nowadays, communication is extremely inconvenient, Luoyang and Sheyang are thousands of miles apart, and the letters on weekdays are waiting for a caravan to go to Xuzhou, spend some money to let the other party help send it, if the other party returns it, it will generally add more money to ask the other party to bring the reply letter back.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Wait a minute, there is still a letter to the family that has not been written." ”

"Whoa." Juan'er obviously also wanted to send a letter to her home, and Tuo Yunsi greeted her there, trotting in with Chen Mo in, obviously wanting Chen Mo to write it on her behalf.

"Waited a long time?" Chen Mo looked at the pen and ink bamboo slips that had been prepared, and looked at Juan'er with some amusement.

"Please, Childe." Juan'er saluted Chen Mo.

"Okay, what do you want to write, I'll write it to you first." Chen Mo spread out the bamboo slip and asked with a smile.

"Childe is so good, just write that Juan'er is doing well, and Childe treats Juan'er very well, Juan'er saved some money and asked her father to reclaim another piece of land, and there is still ......"
