Chapter Thirty-One Monthly Commentary

The master and servant followed Cao Cao all the way to Chongwen Street, and then turned from Chongwen Street to Shangximen East Street. This is one of the twelve main streets in Luoyang City. Those who can open the Yimen here are either rich or noble.

Xu Shao's mansion was being built here. When the three of them arrived outside Yimen, a lot of people were already crowded outside Xu Shao's mansion. Most of them were young boys like Chen Mo, and there were also some young celebrities among them.

"I didn't expect that the Moon Festival Review would be so lively." Chen Mo looked around curiously. There was one last month as well. However, Chen Mo saw through its intention. It would be difficult to get into the eyes of General Xu unless he came from a wealthy family. He himself had nothing to do with these two words, so he

Didn't join in the fun.

"Sir, why is the ceremony door closed?" Juan'er asked curiously.

"Mr. Zijiang only evaluates three people in a month. This closed door is the test question. Whoever can enter will be evaluated." A disciple of Taixue recognized Chen Mo. Although Chen Mo entered Taixue not long ago, he was still in Taixue.

The college is still somewhat popular.

"Brother Li." Chen Mo clasped his fists in front of the visitor and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look good."

The visitor's name is Li Qing, and he is considered to be a child of a famous family. The Li family of Shangdang is also a famous family. However, Li Qing belongs to the side branch of the side branch. He is several years older than Chen Mo. The people of Bingzhou generation are fierce and fierce. Li Qing has been fond of martial arts since he was a child.

He has practiced his skills well, and I heard that he has also suppressed bandits in Bingzhou. If he cannot enter the official career in two years, he will return to Bingzhou and join the army.

Perhaps because of their similar origins, and because his grandfather served under Zang Hong when he was young, Chen Mo became quite close to Chen Mo after he entered Taiyuan University. The two had private discussions and admired Chen Mo.

"I also want to ask Brother Chen why he hasn't been to Taiyuan College these days?" Li Qing asked with a smile at Chen Mo after meeting Cao Cao.

"There are some worldly affairs that are lingering on, so they haven't passed." Chen Mo said this, and then looked at the closed ceremony door and smiled: "Brother Li is also here to participate in this Lunar New Year Review?"

"It's better to give it a try." Li Qing naturally hopes to be evaluated by Xu Zijiang. Although he knows that the chance is slim, if he can be favored by Xu Zijiang, even if the evaluation is not very good, for Li Qing,

It can also boost your reputation, which will always help your career in the future.

"Brother Chen, where have you been these days?" While the two were talking, several other familiar Taiyuan students also saw Chen Mo and came towards him.

"Some common things." Chen Mo chatted casually with everyone. During his time at Taiyuan College, Chen Mo learned a lot. The most important thing is that when talking to a group of people, he can take everyone into consideration and make the other person feel like he is

He was talking to the other party seriously and felt the attention and courtesy from Chen Mo. This may also be a form of bewitchment.

As a bystander and a veteran, Cao Cao could clearly detect that except for the young man named Li Qing at the beginning, Chen Mo was perfunctory most of the time, talking to someone for a few words and then changing the topic to another person, and then

The two discussed, and when Chen Mo was talking to others, he would interject from time to time. The person involved probably felt that the three of them were chatting enthusiastically. Even an old man like Cao Cao was stunned by Chen Mo's move, and this kind of

practice?

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Mo and Juan'er found Cao Cao beside him.

"Is it over?" Cao Cao looked at the Taiyuan disciples who were chatting more and more enthusiastically over there, shook his head and said in admiration: "Brother Xian has taught you a lesson today."

"That's about it. They need some time, so I won't accompany you." Chen Mo nodded and said, "Brother, the ceremony is closed, how are you going to open your eyes for me?"

"Today, let me show you my brother's tricks." Cao Cao laughed and took Chen Mo and Juan'er to bypass the main entrance and walk to the side alley.

Compared to the hustle and bustle on the main street, this alley was much quieter. Cao Cao took the two of them around and found a side door.

Cao Cao stepped on the opposite wall and jumped using the force of the recoil. His hands had already climbed up the wall, and he jumped up with his feet on the wall. Chen Mo was stunned by his skillful movements.

"Come up quickly!" Cao Cao waved towards Chen Mo.

"Is this my brother's method?" Chen Mo was a little amused. He jumped up, put his hands together, and climbed up the wall. He looked at Cao Cao speechlessly: "Did my brother also use this method back then?"

"I took advantage of Benchu ​​to sneak in and pretended to be a servant." Cao Cao said with a smile.

Chen Mo felt that if he hung out with Cao Cao again, he would definitely learn bad things.

"Master, Mr. Cao, come down quickly." Juan'er didn't know when she had entered the courtyard and waved to the two people standing on the wall chatting.

"Is the door closed?" Chen Mo lowered his head and looked at the open side door, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Well, no." Juan'er nodded.

Chen Mo: "..."

Cao Cao: "..."

The two looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and jumped off the wall. Cao Cao was so sophisticated that he had never seen anything before, so he laughed and got over the embarrassment. After all, Chen Mo still felt a little blushing because of his youthful nature.

"Brother, did others come in like this?" Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao curiously and asked.

"Of course not. When I was still in Nanyang, I just gave my name and the door opened. Then Xu Zijiang was also a cowardly person who followed the crowd. If he hadn't become famous now, Cao wouldn't bother to bring his brothers to see him.

This is a person who is looking for fame and reputation." Cao Cao said as he walked: "So, you can't talk to him about the rules when dealing with this kind of person. If you wait outside the door like your friends, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in for the rest of your life.

.”

"That makes sense." Chen Mo nodded in agreement. On this point, he was very supportive. Back in the Yellow Turban Army, if he had followed the rules of the Yellow Turban Army to receive food, mother and son would have starved to death before they arrived in Quyang.

Cao Cao seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here. After twists and turns, he came to the outside of the main hall. Several servants were still there waiting for someone to sign up outside the door so that they could pass the news. Suddenly, he saw a group of three people swaggering out from the side.

, several domestic servants were a little stunned.

"Cao..." When the head steward saw Cao Cao, his expression changed, and he stopped what he blurted out. Cao Cao is no longer the unknown soldier he was back then. He dared to shout, and Cao Cao cut him with a sword. The head of the family was also gone.

He looked at Cao Cao with a stiff smile on his face and said, "Why is Cao Yilang here?"

"Today is the first day of the month, why do you think I am here?" Cao Cao asked.

"This..." the steward frowned and said, "The head of the family already reviewed Yilang a few years ago. Yilang came today and broke the rules of the house."

"Don't worry, it's not me who is here to comment today. It's my good brother who is here to ask for a comment. Please pass it on." Cao Cao said carelessly.

"This..." The steward looked at Chen Mo next to Cao Cao. His first impression was good. He should be a reasonable person. He ignored Cao Cao and said to Chen Mo: "This young master, there are rules for the monthly review."

"I know, but the rule is that whoever can come in can judge. Now that I have come in, according to the rules, Mr. Zijiang should also judge for me!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Steward: "..."

As expected of someone close to Cao Cao, one should not be deceived by his appearance.

The steward's face was stiff, and he bowed and said: "I haven't asked the young master's name yet, so I can go and inform the head of the family."
