The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 152 ‘Letter from Home’

Drunkness was inevitable on this night, but even if Chen Mo was drunk, his mind was probably still sober. In addition to being a little more wild than usual, what happened that night at Chun Nuan Pavilion would naturally not happen again. Although Yun Si was good, but Chen Mo is not prepared to take another concubine. Although the woman beside him is attractive, Chen Mo can only say a few poems at most. Let's just talk about ideals and life. For further in-depth communication, Chen Mo is now very careful and will not give anything to the other party. Any chance.

He was going to visit Lu Zhi the next day. Chen Mo declined Yuan Shao's invitation to stay overnight that night. It was already late at night when he returned home. After being served by Yun Si and Juan'er, he took off his clothes and drank sobering soup before falling on the couch and falling asleep. .

"This "Controversy" is quite interesting." Early the next morning, when Chen Mo came to Lu Zhi with a scroll of bamboo slips, Lu Zhi was looking at the poems and poems that Chen Mo had written while drunk yesterday.

"Junior was so incompetent last night that it was not enough to make Lu Gong laugh." Chen Mo also had to marvel. He originally wrote an article casually last night, but he didn't expect that it had already reached Lu Zhi early this morning.

"With me, there is no need to be humble. Although we only talked about a hundred words, we talked about the hardships of the battlefield. If we can't fight, who is willing to fight? It's just..." At the end, Lu Zhi felt a little weird. Look at Chen Mo.

"What advice does Lu Gong have?" Chen Mo asked quickly.

"I can't speak of advice, but I don't quite understand. How did you write such a poem full of murderous intent in a gentle village like a brothel?" Lu Zhi looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

Poems and poems are closely related to the environment at that time. Most of the poems and poems written in brothels usually describe romantic affairs, beautiful yearning for love affairs, surrounded by beauties, and most of the poems written are affectionate. Mian Mian, even if he is a bit more noble, is just using the scenery to express his feelings. In the brothel, he can write a fierce and murderous poem. It is not unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented. Lu Zhi couldn't help but be a little curious about Chen Mo at that time. What are you thinking about?

"While drunk, I recalled the hardships on the battlefield." Chen Mo said sarcastically. He didn't know why he suddenly remembered what happened on the battlefield in Runan when he saw the beautiful woman pouring wine for him. It was really something he felt at the time, and now he carefully Thinking about it, it is somewhat strange to write such a poem in the gentle countryside.

"No wonder, I heard someone say that Bao Hong didn't agree with your plan at first. It was you who worked hard to please and mediate, and then he changed his mind. To be able to do this, he must have suffered some grievances." Lu Zhi nodded, After reading this piece of "Controversy" again, it can be seen that Lu Zhi likes this poem very much. : "In more than a hundred words, the hustle and bustle, tragedy and helplessness of the battlefield are all described. It is not a piece of nonsense. Moreover, were you on guard last night?"

Chen Mo looked at Lu Zhi in astonishment, could you tell this?

"Chess can read people's hearts, and so can poetry." Lu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "When you play chess, you often show your sharpness. You would rather lose both sides than let others see your way clearly. At a young age, you have such seriousness. I don’t know whether it’s good or bad.”

"I have not yet thanked Mr. Lu for his help in the court hall the day before." Chen Mo didn't want to mention this.

"Actually, His Majesty himself wanted you to serve as a military captain. However, you are still young and the ministers may not be willing. That's why we had the twists and turns yesterday. But I didn't expect that Ciyang (characterized by Yuan Wei) would also help you. " Lu Zhi shook his head. He knew his own weight. Even if the emperor had no intention, even if he was willing to speak for Chen Mo, he alone would not be able to push Chen Mo forward.

"I received a letter from home yesterday, but it was for you." Lu Zhi took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Give it to me?" Chen Mo looked at Lu Zhi in astonishment. How could the letter from home to him be sent to Lu Zhi? Do your mother and teacher know where you are? But then, Chen Mo realized that in the family letter, besides his mother, there was another Chen family, but for Chen Mo, that family existed in legends and was too far away from him.

"Bo Zhengong and I have a master-disciple relationship. After all, your father and Han Yu are both Bo Zhen's nephews, and the Chen family is also the family of the three Dukes. Do you know that when you came to Luoyang, Han Yu wrote to me , please let me take care of you." Lu Zhi looked at Chen Mo and sighed: "As for the grievances between your two families, Han Yu also wrote to me, Chen Mo, I don't know if you hate them because of this, but you underestimate the family too much. Two words, the thief who betrays the master is the misunderstanding between your father and Han Yu. If he harms your father, Han Yu will never accept him. This thief has already been punished by Han Yu's rod when he escaped back to Han Yu. Even before she died, your mother was a strong-willed person, and she didn’t want to negotiate with you even when she was seeking your name.”

Bo Zhen's nickname was Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu was Chen Gui's uncle, and also Chen Mo's father's uncle. Lu Zhi studied under him back then, so Lu Zhi had some relationship with Chen Mo.

"Then why..." Chen Mo frowned and looked at the letter in his hand without opening it, and looked up at Lu Zhi.

"They don't help you directly but help you through me?" Lu Zhi said with a smile.

"Mo is confused." Chen Mo nodded.

"Back then, Duke Bozhen and his disciples Liu He and Wei Weiyangqiu plotted to kill the eunuchs. When the plot was exposed, they were imprisoned and later executed. The Chen family was also hated for this. At that time, Han Yu was still the magistrate of Ju County. After hearing the news, he resign You just escaped the disaster when you returned to your hometown. It was because of the Chen family's loss of power that your servant dared to harm your father. Otherwise, given the name of Mr. Bo Zhen, how could your father have ended up in this situation? "Lu plant He shook his head and said: "Your family is in decline, but you have the opportunity to become an official. Like Han Yu, the eunuchs did not dare to blame Han Yu because of his reputation. But if he enters an official career, he will probably be targeted by the eunuchs soon. Now that you have entered the official career, you are considered the hope of the Chen family. Of course, I will not ask you to forgive anyone. How to measure this matter is entirely up to you. I am only responsible for passing on the message to you. "

In other words, Chen Mo now has an official status and has his own followers in Luoyang, so the Chen family now wants to contact Chen Mo.

Although Lu Zhi didn't say it, Chen Mo was so smart that he naturally figured it out. Chen Gui might have really mentioned it at the beginning, but it was just to let Lu Zhi take care of the younger generation. Otherwise, Lu Zhi wouldn't have been so separated. It's been a long time since I met myself, so I was lucky enough to meet Lu Zhi.

But now, Chen Mo became famous in the battle in Runan, and was later promoted to captain. He had established himself in Luoyang. His family saw the hope of returning to the official career, so this letter fell into his hands.

"Mr. Lu, I want to know if this is the second letter about me?" Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi looked at Chen Mo, sighed, and nodded. He didn't bother to lie, and he probably knew what Chen Mo was thinking. It was just that the family seemed aloof to outsiders, but internally, there were definitely fights. Chen Mo's branch was declining, and some Misunderstanding, Chen Guina Even though Bian knew that Chen Mo was rejected by Chen's mother, he didn't bother to explain. That's why Chen Mo went to Luoyang to work alone. He even used Zang Ba's connections instead of the Chen family. When Chen Mo became famous, the Chen family wanted to use Lu Zhi. Restore relationship with Chen Mo.

"Mr. Lu." Chen Mo didn't read the 'letter from home'. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Lu Zhi and said, "I grew up freely in the countryside. Although my life was poor, I was quite happy. I didn't know about my father until I was nine years old. As for my master's family, There is no dislike or affection. If Mr. Lu hadn’t mentioned it today, it would have been difficult for them to interact with each other in this life. "

"That's true." Lu Zhi nodded and said, "This is your Chen family's business. I can't say more about it, but I have something to say for you to think about."

"Mr. Lu, please speak." Chen Mo quickly sat upright and bowed.

"In this world, many things are like this. I also admit that if you had not achieved what you have today, Han Yu might not have much communication with you. But in this world, at least in the eyes of the world, there is only one Chen family in Huaipu. Both you and Han Yu are members of the Chen family, and this will not change because of you or Han Yu. "

Chen Mo nodded. He understood what Lu Zhi meant. He bowed his hands and said, "Mo understands."

If Chen Mo wants to revitalize his family, it will be the Chen family in Huaipu that will be revitalized, not just his family. But if Chen Mo doesn't accept Chen Gui's overtures, then his next road will be very difficult. It's not how Chen Gui wants to trap him. , but if Chen Mo refuses to reconcile, then Chen Mo will be a concubine for a long time, but if he accepts If Chen Mo accepts it, Chen Mo will change from a concubine to a legitimate son. This difference is very big. Not to mention, once Chen Mo accepts it, Chen Guiyuan will not be able to use the resources and connections of the Chen family in Xuzhou, but Chen Mo can. Not to mention the financial support, at least Chen Mo, a high-ranking captain, would not have to carve letters to support his family.

"Just understand." Lu Zhi looked at Chen Mo with a complicated look on his face, opened the bamboo slips Chen Mo brought him and said with a smile: "I wanted to let you eat together and play chess in the afternoon, but now it seems that you My mind is in a mess, I’m afraid I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

"Forgive me, Mr. Lu." Chen Mo nodded and saluted Lu Zhi: "Please let me excuse you first."

"Go, there is another thing sent by Han Yu. You can decide whether to take it or not. If you want to take it, tell the manager and he will send someone to send it to Zang Mansion for you." Lu Zhi said with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Lu." Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He was short of money now, but then his mood dimmed again. Taking it was equivalent to agreeing to rebuild the old relationship with Chen Gui's family. Before making a decision, Chen Mo could not take it for the time being. Sighing, he said to Lu Zhi: "Please let Mr. Lu take care of it for now. When you think about it clearly in silence, you can ask for it again."

"Forget it, I will keep it for you for a few more days. After I think about it clearly, I will send someone to pick it up." Lu Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "You are born smart and have experienced hardships since childhood. I hope you won't be trapped by too many distracting thoughts. ”

Chen Mo nodded, saluted Lu Zhi, and turned to leave.
