Chapter 5: The Old Man
The first person in the crowd was dressed in gorgeous costumes, and his burly body made him walk with a tigerish style. A pair of bright eyes on the majestic face attract even more attention.
The visitor walked up to Chen Mo, looked at it for a while, and then looked at Wang Sanhai. patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said, "It's so big in a blink of an eye, the uncle almost can't recognize it." ”
When Chen Mo heard this, he immediately bent down and saluted: "Chen Mo pays a visit to the uncle." ”
Chen Xianhai pulled Chen Mo up and said with a smile: "There is not so much etiquette at home, I'm tired all the way, let's go, go first to have a cup of tea and rest." Not to mention notifying the uncle in advance, I calculate that it will take you two more days to arrive. ”
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a few uncles and brothers." ”
Chen Xianhai nodded, and said to Wang Sanhai and the others: "Thank you brothers, now that you have arrived at the Chen Mansion, this is home, and your family has already settled down." ”
Wang Sanhai and others hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the head of the family, escorting the son is what we should do, not to mention hard work." "They are now equivalent to selling themselves to Chen Mo, and they will not be rude to Chen Xianhai, the head of the Chen family.
"Well, I asked someone to take you to your family, as for the other little brothers, I have also arranged it, in Xiao Mo's courtyard, I asked someone to take you to rest first, and I will pick up the wind and dust for you. ”
Wang Sanhai and the others' thoughts Chen Xianhai also knew it, they were in awe of themselves, in addition to their own strength, the most important thing was that they were Chen Mo's uncle, of course he would not think that Wang Sanhai respected him much.
Several people glanced at each other, and Wang Sanhai spoke: "You guys go first, I'll just accompany Gongzi." ”
At this time, Chen Mo spoke: "Third uncle, go back and meet your family first, I'm fine." And brothers, you should also go and rest first, you have worked hard all the way. ”
Wang Sanhai thought about it and no longer insisted, now that the son has returned to normal, he doesn't have to worry about accidents in the Chen Mansion, so he nodded and agreed.
Chen Xianhai didn't say anything when he saw this scene, his cousin was a general during his lifetime, so he was naturally able to subdue some henchmen. It's just that I wonder in my heart, isn't it rumored that my nephew is a dull person?
Chen Mo's state Chen Hong did not publicize it, nor did he deliberately conceal it, and Chen Mo's state was not suitable for going out before, so most of the people in the family heard about his state, and even the people in the family didn't know much about it.
Although Chen Mo came to Chen's Mansion when he was five years old, he was still young at that time, so he thought he was just not very smart and didn't think much about it.
In front of the general Chen Hong, no one dared to ask more, even Chen Xianhai did not dare to ask more. You must know that his grandmaster-level strength was all piled up by Chen Hong with countless rare medicinal materials, but it was not his gifted cultivation.
Chen Mo followed to the living room, and the two of them talked about their parents.
Then there was a shout outside: "Where's the child, take me there." ”
There were other people's voices mixed in. "Old man, slow down, Xiao Mo is in the living room. ”
"Grandfather, watch your step. ”
"Oh my uncle, your old crutches have hit my feet, your old body is so strong, but I'm also over seventy, and it hurts me to death. ”
Chen Mo was surprised to see that he could protect the two old men in the middle in a group of people, recalling the memory of the alarm clock, and finally remembered it. The old man in the middle is his grandfather, the grandfather of his father Chen Hong. Behind him was a slightly younger old man, his grandfather's own nephew.
Since he remembered who the person was, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't sit still, and immediately got up and ran out. came to the two old men and knelt directly on the ground: "Chen Mo greets his grandfather and his second grandfather." ”
No matter what country, filial piety is the standard by which a person is measured. What's more, his grandfather often remembered himself in the past, a man in his nineties, regardless of his old body, he had to go to the capital to visit Chen Mo every year. It is only in recent years that my health has been poor, so I stopped the annual "thrilling" trip.
Therefore, Chen Mo knelt without the slightest reluctance.
"Okay, good, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
The old man's cloudy eyes were full of tears, and he trembled his hands and wanted to help Chen Mo, but unfortunately his stiff body made him make such a big move.
Secretly hating himself for being useless, he turned around and put a cane on his nephew, and shouted angrily: "The guy who has no eyesight, don't help the child up." ”
The old man who was on crutches looked at his uncle speechlessly, and then at Chen Mo. If you can't bend down, can I bend down? I'm over 70 years old! If I bend down, I might not be able to get up!
Chen Xianhai, the head of the family, had eyes, and immediately stepped forward to help Chen Mo up.
Looking at Chen Mo who was standing up, the tears in the old man's eyes finally couldn't help falling. The dry hand gently caressed Chen Mo's face, thinking of Chen Hong, who died in battle, and thinking of the child's body.
said to Chen Mo at the moment: "This is your home, don't be restrained, tell me directly if you want anything, you have to live happily, you know!"
Chen Mo was also infected by the old man, and he also knew why the old man said this, so he also choked up and said: "I know my grandfather, let my grandfather worry about it, but I'm already fine." ”
"Uh-huh, that's good, that's good. The sad old man didn't understand what Chen Mo meant for the first time, and only reacted after saying a few words. looked at Chen Mo nervously and asked, "It's really good?"
"Well, that's it!"
Hearing Chen Mo's answer without hesitation, the old man was finally sure that his body was indeed well. At this moment, the old man felt that God still had a conscience, and did not continue to torture the child.
The old man finally let go of his worries, touched Chen Mo's head, and said with relief: "Okay, okay! Presumably your father can also rest assured!" Speaking of Chen Hong, the old man couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Seeing this, Chen Xianhai was afraid that his grandfather would be too sad, and people at this age were most afraid of joy and sorrow. hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man sit on the main seat, and whispered comfort: "Grandpa, don't be sad, now that Xiao Mo has returned, grandpa can often see him." Besides, Xiao Mo's grade is not small, and you still have to worry about his life's events. ”
The old man perked up when he heard this, stared at Chen Mo and said, "Yes, I don't have to worry about you people, I still have to take care of the children's affairs." ”
Chen Xianhai smiled bitterly when he heard this, he was just looking for a reason to divert the old man's attention, but he thought that he had received such an evaluation. I don't dare to talk back, not to say that the other party is my grandfather, I have to serve him well at the age of more than ninety, for fear that the old man will have a good time.
Chen Mo stood aside and said nothing, but he didn't hear it.
And the old man looked at Chen Mojing, who was a talent, and stood in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, thinking that he had become an adult after only a few years of not seeing him.
couldn't help but praise: "Look at this straight body, look at this handsome face, coupled with extraordinary bearing, this calm strength alone is much stronger than yours." After speaking, he looked at several young people in the crowd.
The people who were seen were at a loss, what was the situation?
Chen Mo's face was also slightly reddened, and he said humbly: "Grandfather has a good reputation, and the kid is only a shallow learner, and he is far worse than the brothers." ”
After hearing this, the old man was happy, and he liked it even more, and said again: "Listen, be humble and polite." You will be complacent if you have some achievements, and learn more from Xiao Mo. ”
The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, and the whisper should be.
The others were also speechless for a while, you always like this kid, just like it, praise it, why do you still belittle others?
Chen Mo also stopped answering, if he wanted to continue according to this momentum, then it was better for him to leave the Chen Mansion early, otherwise he would become the "public enemy" of everyone in the Chen Mansion!
The old man looked at the sky and instructed Chen Xianhai: "It's not early, go prepare a meal, call all the clansmen outside, tonight we have a simple meal as a family, and by the way, we will also go to Xiaomo to get to know each other." You all disperse, I'll talk to Xiao Mo. ”
Chen Xianhai was respectful, and the group also dispersed in a hurry.
After everyone had left, the old man asked, "Sit down first, grandfather, what are your plans for the future?"
Chen Mo found a chair to sit down and replied, "The emperor appointed me as the city lord of Phantom Moon City, and I will not go anywhere else in the future." I'm going to go tomorrow and put down roots in Phantom Moon City. ”
The old man pondered for a while and explained what he knew to Chen Mo.
"Well, that's fine. When you are the lord of the city, this can help you not let others bully. Ying'er is in charge of the Huwei Battalion, your second uncle is the main bookkeeper, the commander of the Dongcheng City Guard is also our people, and there are some other officials and soldiers who are enough for you to sit firmly in the position of the city lord. ”
Chen Mo knew that this was the old man's kindness, and he also knew that with the help of his family, he could completely master Phantom Moon City in the shortest time, so he didn't postpone it and thanked him directly.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, then put down the question and chatted about another topic, "That's good, by the way, have you had any favorite girls over the years!"
"Ah!" Chen Mo's face was slightly red, he had only talked about love in his previous life, and it was far from the time to talk about marriage. Suddenly, when my parents asked about this topic, my heartbeat couldn't help but increase.
The old man had lived for so long and had never seen anything, and he could see at a glance that Chen Mo was still a good child, and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, don't be shy, the man should marry the woman, there is nothing unseemly." Don't worry, I'll contact a few old friends next, look for you well, and promise to find someone who matches you!
Chen Mo was a little resistant, and at the same time had some expectations, his inner thoughts could not be expressed, so he could only say to the old man embarrassedly: "It's all up to my grandfather." ”
"Okay, hahahaha......"
The old man's cheerful laughter resounded outside, and those who heard it speculated about what made the old man so happy.
In the hall, an old man and a young man chatted happily, everyone in the Chen Mansion was busy eating, and the children of the Chen family outside the mansion were called back to the Chen Mansion one after another. Today's Chen Mansion can be described as the most lively day since Chen Hongzhan died.
