Chapter XXIX. Fateful Encounter (Part II).
"This friend, under Zhang Yansheng, it was my subordinate who was reckless just now, are you okay?"
The young man, known as the third son, came to Xiao Mo's side and asked kindly. (This book is reprinted from the land literature network)\bubble_book_()Update super fast/
The voice is as warm as ever, the temperament is as noble as imagined, the face is unexpectedly handsome, and the tone is quite polite.
But Xiao Mo didn't have too much affection for this young man named Zhang Yansheng because of these.
Judging from the words he overheard before, Xiao Mo always felt that this young man named Zhang Yansheng was likely to have some kind of connection with Sikong Mincun, and it was very likely that he knew that he was about to give birth but had an attitude of watching a good show; In addition, after this change in the Xiao family, in Xiao Mo's heart, he did not have much good impression of the so-called famous people.
The most important thing is that although the Zhang Yansheng in front of him seems to have a kind look, Xiao Mo can clearly detect a trace of arrogance deep into the bone marrow from his seemingly warm eyes, and the reason why Zhang Yansheng is so cordial and apologizing to Xiao Mo at this moment is just because he feels that he should do this, which is an instinctive reaction formed after receiving a good upbringing for a long time, but in fact, Xiao Mo knows very well that in this Zhang Yansheng's heart, there is never really any guilt-related feelings.
This kind of hypocritical aristocratic politeness was not uncommon among later generations of bureaucrats.
"Just a hit, nothing."
Xiao Mo didn't seem to be causing trouble, he just replied politely, but he didn't tell his name.
While speaking, Mr. Wen and Xiao Shenyan also came to the two of them separately, and after looking at each other's deposits, they nodded and said hello.
But Zhang Yansheng still said apologetically: "In any case, my subordinates are not sensible, and I ask this friend to bear with me." ”
Xiao Mo shook his hand and said, "It really doesn't matter, there are people coming and going on the street, whether it's bumping into someone or being bumped, it's normal, you don't have to apologize." It's just that if nothing happens, my grandfather and I still have to hurry, and we can't delay, so don't pass by. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Mo arched his hand at Zhang Yansheng, and then pulled Xiao Shenyan away.
Xiao Shenyan was pulled by Xiao Mo to re-enter the flow of people, and he didn't understand why Xiao Mo was in such a hurry.
In the previous conversation between Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng, Xiao Shenyan never had the opportunity to participate in it, but looked at the two teenagers who were saying goodbye to each other, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
Whether it is Xiao Mo or Zhang Yansheng, they are only eleven or twelve years old, and most children are still naïve and rash at this age, with an active personality, if the family background is a little better, it is normal to be arrogant, but these two people are unusually calm, mature and precocious, and a conversation cannot make people feel that they are still children in terms of age.
Xiao Mo's precocious Xiao Shenyan had long been accustomed to it, but he didn't expect to see another young man who was not inferior at this time.
And judging from the eyes of that Mr. Wen who was looking at Xiao Mo at the moment, this Mr. Wen was obviously surprised by Xiao Mo's maturity and early wisdom.
Seeing the figures of Xiao Mo and the others gradually disappear into the flow of people, Zhang Yansheng's heart was a different thought.
He has been valued by his grandfather since he was a child, and has been personally cultivated by his grandfather for many years, and is regarded as the natural heir of the family, and his grandfather, who is above 10,000 people under one person, has said to him more than once that the way to treat people is to learn to treat them separately, the more you face the high-ranking officials and nobles, the more you must show the strength and wisdom of xiàn, and the more you face the people at the bottom, the more you must show xiàn's humility and courtesy, the former can make you have prestige and majesty, so that your subordinates dare not betray, and the latter can allow you to achieve a good reputation, And in many cases, there are many unexpected benefits.
Since he was sensible, Zhang Yansheng has been demanding himself according to his grandfather's teachings, and has always been able to achieve good results, but this time, the effect is completely different.
Although Zhang Yansheng still followed his usual habits, he first inadvertently revealed his extraordinary identity and nobility, and then apologized to the other party by lowering his identity.
This feeling made Zhang Yansheng very uncomfortable.
Zhang Yansheng didn't know that this kind of method of his was not new to Xiao Mo because the bureaucrats of later generations would perform countless times a day through TV news to the public.
"Very interesting guy."
As Xiao Mo and the others disappeared into the flow of people, Zhang Yansheng suddenly smiled slightly and whispered to himself.
"Third son, do you want to go and find out the details of those three people?"
The strong man who bumped into Xiao Mo just now bowed down and asked, his expression was not the slightest worried because of Zhang Yansheng's reproach before, because he knew that Zhang Yansheng didn't really blame him, it was just for others to cut. On the contrary, if he really let strangers approach Zhang Yansheng but did not react, Zhang Yansheng would really be angry.
Hearing the inquiries of his subordinates, Zhang Yansheng hesitated slightly, he was indeed a little interested in Xiao Mo's identity, but after showing the gaze of Mr. Wen next to him, he finally shook his head and said, "No need, we don't have many people with us, Sikong Min will come to Changzhi City tomorrow, and the big thing is important." Although that young man is interesting, it is estimated that I will not have the opportunity to meet him again in the future, even if I know his origin, what can I do? ”
Hearing Zhang Yansheng's words, the subordinate bowed and stepped aside, but Mr. Wen smiled and nodded in appreciation.
With a single thought, Xiao Mo and the others had a lot less trouble.

On the other side, after Xiao Mo made sure that he had left Zhang Yansheng's sight, he immediately told Xiao Shenyan in detail about the conversations he had overheard just now.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shenyan sighed: "It seems that this matter is more complicated than we imagined, that Zhang Yansheng is called the third son, but as far as I know, Sikong Min does not have a junior of this age, maybe there is more than one force involved in the affairs of the Xiao family, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's get out of here quickly."
Xiao Mo frowned and asked, "Shall we tell Grandpa Sù about this matter?" ”
Xiao Shenyan was silent for a moment and said, "No need. ”
Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, and then nodded silently.
Yes, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, no matter how many things Xiao Shenxing knows at this time, it is useless.
After Xiao Mo and the other three decided, they didn't delay any longer, hurriedly found the carriage and horse shop in the west of the city, hired a carriage that looked good at the price of six taels of silver, left Changzhi City, and headed towards Yunzhou next to Huanzhou.
When Xiao Mo sat in the carriage, his back silently watched the distant city getting smaller and smaller in his eyes, Xiao Mo knew that from this moment on, his life was about to turn a new page.
