Chen Ju is a person who attaches great importance to health preservation, believes in sunrise and daily income, if there is no special thing, he generally does not stay up late, so when Chen Mo returned to the small courtyard, his room was already dark - since Chen Mo went to the inner study to study, he found a small fire to come over to serve him, but he did not necessarily have to wait for Chen Mo.

The newcomer is Chen Mo's old acquaintance, Chen You, a fellow villager of Anle Hall.

Chen Mo couldn't guess why Chen Ju was looking for Chen You, according to his identity, the little eunuchs from the Gao Mansion couldn't wait to come and serve. Chen You always thought that it was Chen Mo's credit to be able to have today, and while praising Chen Mo for his righteousness, he also became more and more kind.

It's better not to explain this kind of thing than to explain it clearly, and Chen Mo will let him go - things like connections, throughout the ages, are indispensable things for the top of the silk. There are more people like Chen You, if you really want to make a difference in the future, you can have a foil.

Yes, after these days, Chen Mo has faded the original idea of "what comes is safe", and replaced it with a desire for power. Confucius said, "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government," living in the small world of betrayal and oppression in the harem of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't have a competitive spirit, you will be the meat on the board and the fish in the oil pot.

If you want to live and live well, there is no other way than to climb up with your head broken.

Chen You lived with Chen Mo, when Chen Mo entered the door, he was lying on the bed watching "University Yanyi", and when he saw Chen Mo coming in, he didn't raise his eyelids, but said, "Have you eaten?" Let's make you a good foot wash, soak your feet and rest early. ”

"Washing your feet again?" For Chen Mo, who was accustomed to self-reliance in later generations, Chen You's eagerness actually made him very unaccustomed.

Chen You didn't care, he was used to serving people, and he smiled when he heard this: "The matter of piggybacking on your feet, the work is not big, it is estimated that it is not cold, you hurry up and soak it, and go to bed early after soaking." ”

"What are you sleeping?" Chen Mo smiled bitterly: "Mr. Shen asked us to copy the Analects ten times, I'm afraid tonight will be another sleepless night." ”

"A lot?" Chen You hadn't read the Analects, so he didn't know how much Chen Mo's homework was.

Chen Mo had already poured the water for washing his feet, took off his shoes and socks, soaked his feet in the water, the slightly hot water temperature, he couldn't help but sigh when he was comfortable, and said with a long breath: "It's not just a lot, the full text is forty-four chapters (one question and one chapter, an average of dozens of words), nearly two thousand words, and copying ten times is 20,000, do you say it's too much?" ”

Chen You stuck out his tongue: "So many?" Then Mr. Shen is really cruel to you. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Chen Mo was very happy when he first knew that the gentleman in the red robe was the famous Shen Li, but as time went on, the longer he got in touch, he found that he was a little too happy - that guy was arrogant and rigid, but he was still jealous and hateful, just because he entered the inner study hall through the back door, he saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, and he was targeted everywhere, which made him embarrassed, and let everyone see enough jokes.

If it was according to Zhao Haochen's temper in later generations, he would have fallen the rake early. Who knew that the little eunuch Chen Mo who inherited his memory was obviously timid and afraid, but he was still a tough temper and refused to accept softness, which was a waste now: let us endorse it, and we will endorse it. Let us compose poems, and we will compose poems. Let us copy it, and we will copy it. Isn't it aimed at us? Draw a line, let's follow.

In fact, in Chen Mo's body, Zhao Haochen's soul in later generations dominated, and what Chen Mo left behind was just a memory, some inertia, and he didn't have autonomy at all. For this kind of unyielding spirit, he actually looked down on it, but for some reason, every time he saw Shen Li's coffin-like expression, he felt a deep insult - okay, don't you look down on us, we just want to prove it to you.

Did Chen Mo change Zhao Haochen, or did Zhao Haochen change Chen Mo? It's a complicated matter, I'm afraid even he can't explain it himself.

The water in the footbath gradually cooled down, and the book in Chen You's hand had already slipped down to the pillow, making a slight snoring sound.

Chen Mo woke up from the chaotic thoughts, wiped his feet, tiptoed to clean up the mess, sat down at the desk, laid out the paper, grinded the ink, picked up the lamp, prepared for some preparations, rubbed his hands, dipped the pen in ink, and neatly wrote on the white paper: "Shame on the constitution." Zi said: 'The state has a way, a valley; Bang Wudao, Valley, shame also. He asked, 'Can you be benevolent if you want to do nothing?' Zi said: "You can be embarrassed, but I don't know if you are benevolent......

The cold wind gusted outside, and Chen Mo's slender and straight figure was reflected on the window, lined with dim candlelight, adding a unique scenery to this lonely cold night.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his pen was like a dragon, taking out the skills of the later generations who had been immersed in the ** method for many years, and he didn't even look at the "Analects" without a single punctuation mark in the whole book, and completely relied on his excellent memory to write silently. He decided, no matter what, he would let Shen Li's unchanged dead face change his expression.

More than 20,000 words, Chen Mo wrote until the fifth watch was completed, and he was lying in his clothes, feeling that he only squinted slightly for a while, and then heard Chen You get up.

"Shaoyan, it's time to go to class, wake up quickly......" Chen You shook Chen Mo, and when he saw him open his eyes, he went out to the upper room to serve Chen Ju.

Chen Mo didn't dare to rely on it any longer, sat up, rubbed his temples vigorously, and felt that his brain was slightly relaxed before getting out of bed. It was not yet dawn outside, and when he opened the door and saw that Chen Ju's house had been lit up, he was busy going to the water room to turn on the water, and when he came back, he found that Chen Ju had already played Tai Chi in the courtyard in the dark.

Pour boiling water into the basin and mix it with cold water, and prepare a green salt towel, Chen Ju's set of Tai Chi just closed the momentum, his face was not red and he walked over without panting, took Chen Mo's warm towel and wiped his face, rinsed his mouth with green salt, and asked, "I heard Chen You say that you stayed up late last night?" ”

"This kid's mouth is really broken," Chen Mo heard Chen Ju's relaxed tone, so he smiled and counted a sentence, and said: "There is no way for the child, Mr. Shen has too much homework left, and he can't embarrass his father-in-law, so he has to fight at night." ”

"What was copied?" Chen Ju picked up a hot towel and entered the house. Chen Mo hurriedly followed behind, and while answering: "The Analects of the Constitution", while looking, he found that Chen You had already cleaned the house and was bending over to fold the quilt in the inner room.

Chen Ju sat on the chair with a leisurely expression, and when he heard the words, he was suddenly stunned, frowning and pondering for a moment: "The Analects of the Constitution?" 'Zilu stayed at Shimen, and the morning gate said: Xi Zi? Zilu said: From Kong's. Said: Is it the one who knows that it can't do it? I haven't read it for years, is that it? ”

This is a sentence in the Analects, Chen Mo nodded and smiled: "My father-in-law has a good memory, and he doesn't miss a word." As he spoke, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and suddenly remembered what he had ignored last night, and subconsciously patted his head: "That's right!" Chen Ju was taken aback.
