The Nameless of the Common Clans

Lv Bu seemed to have found someone to talk to. In the following days, he often went to Chen Mo for various reasons.

In general, Dong Zhuo was good to Lv Bu. However, the Ding Yuan incident made Lv Bu morally criticized. Secondly, Dong Zhuo always took Lv Bu with him, which prevented several assassinations, making people dislike Lv Bu even more.

Now Lv Bu's situation is that scholars don't like him, and the generals of the Western Liang Army are jealous of Lv Bu's favor by Dong Zhuo and exclude him. He must feel bad. It can be said that Lv Bu is too high-profile.

Chen Mo occasionally nodded. For example, the next day, Lv Bu asked Dong Zhuo for leave and went to pay homage to Ding Yuan. On weekdays, he was much more low-key. Even as Dong Zhuo's guard duty, Lv Bu asked Dong Zhuo to let him and Hua Xiong take turns.

Hua Xiong was a brave general under Dong Zhuo and had followed Dong Zhuo for many years. As a result, when Lu Bu came, Hua Xiong felt as if he was alienated, and naturally felt uncomfortable. Now Lu Bu asked Dong Zhuo for this, and Dong Zhuo agreed. In this way, Hua Xiong accepted Lu Bu's favor. Hua Xiong was a veteran general under Dong Zhuo and the most courageous warrior under Dong Zhuo in the past. With Hua Xiong's opening, other generals naturally rejected Lu Bu less.

In fact, Lu Bu had good cards in his hand, but he didn't know how to use them. He was a very interesting person. He wanted to get close to Chen Mo, but he didn't take the initiative to speak. Most of the time, he pretended to meet by chance, and then went together naturally. He didn't like him much, but he didn't hate him either. He was arrogant, but he longed for recognition from others.

"People are like this. You have to think from other people's perspectives. You are brave and unparalleled, but no matter how powerful you are, except for your soldiers who feel happy to fight with you, for others, whether you are strong or weak is not important. And now you are respected by the Grand Master, you are in a high position, and you disdain others, but you want others to admire you. How is it possible?" It snowed lightly in Luoyang, not heavily, but it kept falling. The two walked in the snow curtain, and Chen Mo talked incoherently.

"You are too tedious." Lu Bu could really feel that everyone's attitude towards him was different in the past few days, but talking to those people was better, and talking to the generals was a word of tiredness. On the contrary, although Chen Mo, a marginal person, spoke in a roundabout way, he was not annoying.

"Officialdom... No, getting along with people is like this. It doesn't violate principles. Sometimes it's better to take a step back than to stand firm. Wenhou is good at fists. In fact, there is no need to change too much. If you are really the same as me, I'm afraid you won't have this world-beating bravery." Chen Mo smacked his lips and turned his head to look at Lu Bu's arms, which were several circles thicker than his own. Even if they were hidden in his clothes, he could feel the amazing explosive power. If Lu Bu was really like an old official, would he still have the kind of invincible spirit on the battlefield? It's probably difficult.

"That's right!" Lu Bu said proudly.

Chen Mo: "..."

This person can't be praised.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't speak, Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "This doesn't seem to be the way to Zang Mansion."

"Visit Cai Weng." Chen Mo nodded.

"You go, old man..." Lu Bu heard the words and turned to walk in another direction. Cai Yong's words were sometimes difficult to understand. Lu Bu and Cai Yong didn't have much friendship and didn't want to go.

"If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can come to Zang's house. I'm very idle recently." Chen Mo looked at Lu Bu's back and suddenly smiled.

"I'm very busy and may not be free. If I have time and happen to pass by, I'll go and have a look." Lu Bu pretended to be indifferent and paused, without looking back, and continued to walk away.

This kind of character... Chen Mo shook his head, did not comment, and continued to walk to Cai Yong's house. He and Cai Yong have become closer. When he has nothing to do these days, he will go to play chess and have a meal by the way. However, today, it was Cai Yong who took the initiative to invite him. Chen Mo felt that he should go earlier. Although they can get along well, Chen Mo always feels that Cai Yong's enthusiasm for him has been a little too much recently.

"My dear nephew, you came at the right time. Please take a seat first." Cai Yong was obviously very happy to see Chen Mo, and waved and smiled at Chen Mo.

"Excuse me, Mr. Cai." After Chen Mo made some polite remarks, he went straight to the table. He saw that there was already a woman at the table. Although he had never seen her before, judging from her figure, she was the woman who played the zither in the pavilion that day.

Seeing her face today, Chen Mo felt that she was very beautiful, but not stunning enough. The most attractive thing was her quiet and elegant temperament.

After a slight bow, Chen Mo did not look at her for long and went straight to the table. It was very rude to stare at a woman he did not know. Cai Yong obviously regarded him as a close person. This time, the meal was considered a family dinner, and there might be some other meanings in it, but people treat you as their own people because they want to get close to you. It is rude for you to treat this place as your home.

"This is my daughter, named Yan, and she is about the same age as my nephew." Cai Yong introduced the two of them: "General Chen is a young hero, both civil and military, and my son should have heard of his name."

"The young lady plays the zither beautifully, and I admire her very much." Chen Mo smiled at Cai Yan and praised her.

Cai Yan nodded slightly: "General, you also know music?"

"I don't know." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "This is exactly what I admire. You can make me, who doesn't know music, immersed in it. I have already surpassed the limit of my skills in the art of playing the zither. I am about the same age as me, but I can reach this level in one art. It is really admirable. I will definitely be a master of the art of playing the zither in the future."

"General, you are too kind." Cai Yan shook her head slightly and said: "General has extraordinary attainments in chess, calligraphy and painting. My father rarely praises people, but these days, Yan has heard of the general's name."

Speaking of this, there was some resistance in it, and Cai Yong almost praised Chen Mo to the sky. If he said this too much, it would be easy to lose people's favor.

Chen Mo looked at Cai Yong in confusion, what did he do if he had nothing to do?

"It's rare to see a young hero, and I also love talents." Cai Yong smiled and said, "By the way, is my nephew getting married?"

"There is a concubine in the family, and the marriage still needs the consent of my mother." Chen Mo shook his head.

Cai Yong nodded when he heard the words, as it should be, and no one would have said it to the concubine.

"If the general is getting married in the future, but the woman asks the general to drive away the concubine before they can get married, will the general agree?" Cai Yan suddenly asked.

Chen Mo looked at Cai Yan in confusion, without thinking much, shook his head and said: "Although my concubine has a low status, she is a friend in need. No one will care about her even if she is abandoned. However, as far as I am concerned, my heart is It’s uneasy, and besides, these women are undoubtedly jealous women. Even if they compromise and marry into the family, the family will be uneasy in the future.”

"Is it not worthwhile for a general to act like this for a concubine?" Cai Yan was a little curious. In this era, it was very common for concubines to give gifts to each other.

"We have different opinions. Sometimes we don't have a choice about our birthplace. Moreover, this is not a concubine's problem. If a woman interferes in family affairs before she has entered the family, it is a bad virtue. Besides, a woman is willing to never leave me when I am down. "The concubine is the one who lives under someone else's roof. When he becomes powerful, he abandons her for the sake of wealth and honor. How is this person different from an animal? Maybe even worse than an animal." Chen Mo said with a smile.

At first, it was just Cai Yan's curious question, but Chen Mo's answer was somewhat contrary to today's ideas. The conversation between the two began to extend from the concubine issue to the female commandments, and later it no longer stuck to a certain book. Cai It was also the first time that Yan experienced the erudition of his father. Chen Mo had read thousands of books by heart, and his arguments often made people feel refreshed.

"Since my brother is so knowledgeable and has good attainments in chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't he just learn the piano?" After talking freely, Cai Yan and Chen Mo got closer, and they were called brother as suggested by Cai Yong.

"When my master played the piano..." Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the scene when Zang Hong showed him how to play the piano. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Some... not very elegant, so I always thought that playing the piano was like this."

Zang Hong was not proficient in music. In order to interest Chen Mo, he pretended to be elegant, but his attainments were obviously not as high as Cai Yan's. Such pretentiousness resulted in a sound that was not beautiful at all, and he played a few times. Not only were three strings broken, but his fingers were also dripping with blood. From then on, Chen Mo lost interest in learning the piano.

Although Chen Mo said it euphemistically, Cai Yong could probably guess that Zang Hong must have been very embarrassed at the time if a talented and studious disciple could avoid a subject like a snake or a scorpion.

"It is true that I have never heard that Ziyuan is good at music and temperament." Cai Yong couldn't help but laugh.

A family banquet can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host, and Chen Mo was a little surprised by how much Cai Yan learned. He had the help of the gods in the system, and he had the ability to have a photographic memory to learn what he has learned today. This daughter of the Cai family is just like him. Age...could it be that I was born with a photographic memory?

After the banquet, they played a few games with Cai Yong. Cai Yan was playing the piano and enjoyed it quite a lot. It wasn't until nightfall that Chen Mo said goodbye and left.

"What do my sons think of this son?" After Cai Yong asked the steward to see Chen Mo off, he looked at Cai Yanxiao and asked.

"Just like what my father said, he is knowledgeable and talented, and he is also funny." Cai Yan said while playing the piano.

"If my father chooses him as his son-in-law, what will my son do?" Cai Yong laughed when he heard this.

Cai Yan thought about Chen Mo's gesture at the banquet just now. Chen Mo naturally didn't think much about it, but Cai Yan went to see Chen Mo with the purpose of testing her husband. Hearing this, his face turned red and he whispered: "Brother Not necessarily willing.”

"As a father, you can tell me." Cai Yong said with a smile.

"My father has the final say on matters of marriage." Cai Yan lowered his head.

In fact, marriages in these days were basically based on the orders of parents and matchmakers. Not many men and women could meet before getting married. It was even rarer and rarer for Cai Yan to do the test in person like today, and it can be said to be unique. It is basically impossible to fall in love for a period of time.

"Then I'll talk to you in the next few days." Cai Yong shook his head and smiled. In the past two years, in order to help his daughter find a satisfactory son-in-law, Cai Yong had grayed his hair a lot.
