When Cheng Mo followed Xie Minyun into the living room, he first passed a burgundy, antique wooden grille screen-like screen, and in the middle was a fresh and elegant landscape painting.

With Xie Minyun on the side, it is really a full beauty of a heart-to-heart blow, as long as it is a person, it may not help but sigh that there is a stunning color in the world.

Cheng Mo didn't look at Xie Minyun who handed the slippers, the landscape painting was to look twice, and the red seal was Wu Shankai, Cheng Mo didn't know much about the contemporary masters of Chinese painting, but from the point of view of the pen, there was a "white paper to the blue sky" at will, which made people feel as if they were in the middle of it, and they knew that they were a master.

The name of the painting is "Taiyi Near Tiandu", and the so-called "Taiyi" is the Taoist "Tao", which reminds Cheng Mo of his homeroom teacher Shen Youyi.

Cultured people give names, and they do not deliberately pursue seclusion, which is the so-called gentleman. Names do not express specific expectations, and there is no ambition at a glance, especially for children of Kochi, whose names are concise and humble, and do not have much "hope that their son will become a dragon".

Xie Minyun and Shen Youyi are like this, they use more imaginary words, less real fingers, and look very neutral words, like many people's names, such as Congwen, Ziqing, and Moruo..... Both are unisex names for both men and women.

Just as the most beautiful monsters in ancient Greek and Roman mythology were androgynous, a neutral and meaningful name was a good name for the literati.

And most of Niu B's parents have the feeling of "I was mistaken by being smart all my life", so "I hope the child is stupid and reckless", such as Bingxin and Wu Wenzao's daughter is called Wu Qing, and Nie Rongzhen's daughter is called Nie Li, all of which are concise and atmospheric words.

Of course, there is another example that must be given, that is, Cheng Yongze's child is called Cheng Mo.

In general, judging whether the family is rich or not from the name is not reliable, and judging the cultural level of the family can be based on evidence.

For example, the name is "Zhaodi", "Pandi" and "Wangcai", which are self-evident, and the ethereal words such as "Yue, Meng, Poem, Yi, Yu, Jun, Bin, Yun, Xiang" in the name are mostly well-off or middle-class families, and they often have high expectations for their children.

Xie Minyun saw Cheng Mo looking at the landscape painting in a daze, and didn't even take the slippers, frowned, and sneered slightly, she thought that it was normal for Cheng Mo to look at her in a daze at this age, and looking at Master Wu's "Taiyi Near the Heavenly Capital" in a daze, that was to pretend to be .....

Xie Minyun has seen too many pretentious people, and everyone thinks that they are only eight buckets tall, and they like to use their tones, just to get her attention, but she didn't expect the child in front of her to act at such a young age, so she said coldly: "Slippers!"

Cheng Mo shook off his inexplicable association, then turned around and whispered: "Thank you!" Then he bent down and changed his shoes, and put his shoes neatly on the side, before following Xie Minyun in, but unfortunately Xie Minyun turned around very early and didn't see this detail action, otherwise Cheng Mo's senses would be better.

Entered the living room, it is also a typical Chinese decoration, but it is not like most of the rich people's living room is full of antique calligraphy and paintings, it seems unusually simple and spacious, the sofa is not a high-end wood sofa in red sandalwood and huanghuali, but a soft sofa with beige cotton and linen texture, and there are no paintings in the living room, only a family photo is hung on the opposite side of the sofa.

But this living room is beautiful, mainly when you come in you will be attracted by the courtyard outside a few glass doors opposite.

Under the gray eaves, the eyes are full of blue sky, and the white fence surrounds a laurel tree full of incense, and if you continue to look at it, you can see the green ripples of the leaping lake.

At this moment, the gray-haired Wang Shanhai is sitting on the sofa, with a pale yellow quill chessboard on the coffee table, black and white chess pieces scattered in between, and the sunlight flowing in the living room, mixed shadows form an old picture that seems to have faded.

A black cat walked gently in the wooden corridor outside the glass door, and Xie Minyun stood in the living room, adding elegance and ethereal to this originally lonely and gloomy picture.

In this harmonious picture, only Cheng Mo seems a little redundant.

Cheng Mo stood in front of the sofa and bowed slightly to Wang Shanhai and said, "Hello Dean Grandpa!"

Wang Shanhai's forehead lines are very heavy, and there is a red rosacea, but the whole person has a kind Confucian taste, he is wearing a bright white silk gown for practicing Tai Chi and sitting cross-legged on the sofa, looking up at Cheng Mo and saying: "Yo! Cheng Mo, I really didn't expect you to come, you are really a rare guest.... It turns out that when I was a child, I came more, but when I grew up, I didn't come!"

Cheng Mo said: "It's not that I can't come when I grow up, it's because I moved...."

Wang Shanhai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what the reason is, just the conclusion is right, let me tell you that I and your father are old friends, and now that he is gone, if you have anything, just come to me." ”

Cheng Mo still knew that his father had the blessing of Wang Shanhai in the Academy of Social Sciences, but he didn't think that he should have respect for Wang Shanhai, after all, the Academy of Social Sciences still needs powerful people to bury themselves in research, and they all went to the camp, and as an academic-based unit, it was completely abolished.

So Cheng Mo said without hesitation: "There is something here that I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Wang Shanhai smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, wait until I finish this game of chess, and I'm about to start eating, let's talk about it after dinner..."

Xie Minyun, who was already sitting on the gray round cushion with his legs bent, looked at the chessboard with an annoyed expression and said, "Grandpa, you are too much?....! Originally, your dragon was about to be cut down by me..."

Wang Shanhai looked at his granddaughter with a scoundrel face and said: "How can the things of scholars be called stealing? This is called Yaqu, I am talking about an old man, old eyes are dizzy, isn't it normal for you to let a little bit?"

Xie Minyun said: "I have already let you go first, and I have let you two sons..... You're still a scoundrel. ”

Wang Shanhai waved his hand very generously and said: "Okay, okay this time, forget it this time, I won't take your son next time...."

Seeing that what his grandfather said seemed to be that he let himself go, Xie Minyun was very speechless, and said with a straight face: "There is no next time!"

Wang Shanhai smiled "hehe" and beckoned to Cheng Mo and said, "Cheng Mo, come here, I'll leave it to you." ”

Cheng Mo glanced down at the chess pieces on the quimble board, Kuroko's chess style should be an extreme style of emptying and punching, while Baizi is obviously good at pursuing the rhythm of Shilijia positional warfare.

Generally good at positional warfare, the calculation power is very good, which also means that you will be as solid as a rock in the prelude, and then slowly wear down the opponent in the subsequent contact battles to gain the upper hand.

At this time, the black dragon was no longer saved, even if it was missing the upper right three three and one pieces, it was just a matter of lingering, it was only a matter of time before the big dragon was eaten, and it was not Cheng Mo's style to go up and lose on behalf of others, so he shook his head and said: "I don't know how to play Go." ”

bluntly saying that there is no salvation and rejecting the elders are both impolite choices, and Cheng Mo can only say that he will not go.

Wang Shanhai said: "Hey, I remember that when you were a child, you liked to watch me play chess with your father?

Cheng Mo said calmly: "What can I understand when I was a child, it's just boring and blind looking." ”

Seeing that Cheng Mo was still standing, Wang Shanhai said: "Oops..... What are you doing sitting, standing.... Come and sit casually" Then he turned to Xie Minyun and said, "Xiao Jin, you go and pour a cup of tea with Cheng Mo...."

Xie Minyun's nickname is Xiao Jin, which is easy to hear as Xiao Jing, but it is actually Xiao Jin, which means that life only needs a little progress is enough.

Xie Minyun said: "This trick again, I won't go, I'll go, it's hard to guarantee that you won't steal my chess pieces again..."

Wang Shanhai raised his hands and said, "I promise not to steal." ”

Xie Minyun clasped his hands on his chest, his posture was plump, graceful and elegant, but his words were not polite at all, "You have to go yourself." ”

Cheng Mo took the opportunity to say: "Grandpa Dean, it's really unnecessary to drink tea, eat or anything, I just have something I want to ask you." ”

"What is the name of the dean grandpa, the name is Daddy Hai...."The people of Xingcheng call grandpa Daddy, but it is pronounced as "嗲嗲", and grandma is "娭毑", which also refers to all the elderly.

Cheng Mo said helplessly: "Hai Da ....." was just about to say that he hoped that Wang Shanhai would help contact Li Jiting, when the nanny who happened to be wearing an apron came out and said, "Dean Wang, the meal is ready, you can eat." ”

Wang Shanhai was relieved, smiled with a wrinkled face, and said the chess pieces on the chessboard: "Eat, eat, talk while eating....."

At this moment, Cheng Mo saw a sharp murderous aura rising from Xie Minyun's body......
