The Nameless of the Common Clans

When I woke up again, it was already early morning.

I shook my head, and the feeling of sadness faded a little. It seemed that it was not as wonderful as recorded in the Book of Songs. Unlike the special dreams in the past, I lost my memory when I entered this time, but everything in the dream was vivid when I woke up.

But I always felt that such feelings were a little unreal. The heartbeat was real, but compared with this kind of feelings, he felt that the feelings that grew over time with Yunsi and Juaner were easier for him to accept.

Recalling the experience in the dream, Chen Mo suddenly felt a little funny. Life was already very bitter, and he actually made himself suffer for no reason. What's the matter?

With a complicated mood, Chen Mo washed and dressed neatly. When he went out, he saw Juaner coming with a basin of water. Her first reaction to seeing Chen Mo was blushing.

"I've washed it, let's go!" He rubbed Juaner's hair naturally. He was going to meet Aunt Cai and Ah Dai today. It was scheduled for noon. There was still some time. Chen Mo was going to tell Yunsi first. They were all from the same hometown. Although their identities were different now, they couldn't be treated lightly.

Juan'er followed Chen Mo obediently. When she saw Chen Mo, she couldn't help thinking of the night before she returned home. Her pretty face blushed with shame, which was quite cute.

"Sir, the guests have arrived and are chatting with the old lady in the front hall. Do you want to go over?" Juan'er trotted up, and the water in the basin kept shaking.

"Leave it to the servants. You are now a concubine, so you don't have to do these things." Chen Mo looked at the water that almost spilled on him and said helplessly.

"I have always served you, and others are afraid that you are not used to it." Juan'er quickly put down the basin and whispered beside Chen Mo.

"You are asking for trouble." Chen Mo shook his head and said nothing more. He seemed to be asking for trouble last night. Now he understands a little bit that those men and women's love that sounded grand or tortuous are mostly not going to end well.

"Juan'er is happy to serve the young master~" Juan'er followed Chen Mo in small steps, whispering.

"Since the guests have arrived, let's go meet them first. Why so early?" Chen Mo said no more. Juan'er was right. He was not used to the girl who had been with him for so many years and suddenly changed to another one.

When the two came to the front hall, there were already many people in the front hall, including Uncle Wang, Uncle Zheng, Uncle Yang, Aunt Cai, and Dalang.

The people were still the same as before, but Aunt Cai looked a little fat after not seeing each other for many years. When she saw Chen Mo, she stood up stiffly and pulled the boy beside her.

"A'dai?" Although the boy was a little unfamiliar, Chen Mo still recognized the vague outline. In the past, A'dai was considered capable among their group of people and could find rabbit nests. Because Uncle Cai was a hunter, he knew more than them. When old friends met again, Chen Mo had a lot to say.

"Cai Qing greets the envoy!" Without waiting for Chen Mo to speak, Ah Dai hurriedly bowed to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's body stiffened, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything. He just smiled and nodded and said: "Sit down!"

After Chen Mo knelt down, everyone sat down again. Chen Mo smiled and said: "I think Uncle Wang, you haven't eaten yet. Yunsi, tell the kitchen workers to make more."

"I have already ordered it." Chen's mother smiled, and Yunsi and Juan'er stood behind Chen's mother obediently at this moment.

"I haven't seen you for several years, but Aunt Cai is getting more and more blessed." Chen Mo looked at Aunt Cai and smiled: "I heard that Aunt Cai and Uncle Yang are getting married. They are too far apart, so I didn't give you a gift. I hope Aunt Cai won't blame you."

"You don't have to be like this, the old lady has already sent a gift." Aunt Cai hurriedly said respectfully.

The taste of childhood suddenly faded, and Chen Mo felt a little uncomfortable. However, he was in a low mood after wandering in the officialdom for these years, but others could not see it. He still talked to everyone gently about some things in the past, and also asked about some experiences in these years.

Uncle Zheng and Uncle Wang also came to surrender this time. Uncle Zheng spent all his family wealth this time, recruited many former rangers, and formed a team of 800 people to surrender. For Chen Mo, it was naturally a good thing. Now that the situation in Hedong has stabilized, Chen Mo is also starting to expand the army. It is said that this team is all capable rangers in the Xuhuai area. These people can become very good elites with a little training.

Chen Mo naturally knew the meaning of this, and immediately arranged the two as military Sima. These 800 people were commanded by the two, but they needed to enter the army for unified training. This matter was handled by Dalang. After the training, this team will be Chen Mo’s personal guard.

As for Uncle Yang, he was appointed as the military commander as agreed before. Although he was not promoted, Chen Mo gave him an extra ten mu of good land as a token of gratitude for his willingness to come with his family to join him at this time.

During the conversation, he also mentioned Uncle Li and Zhang Kai, who had been together for a period of time. Now Zhang Kai joined the government army and became a lieutenant. Uncle Li was also a military commander under Zhang Kai. They were all living a good life, but Uncle Li had been less active here and had almost no contact in recent years.

As for Uncle Wang and Uncle Zheng, there was no need to say anything. Chen Mo knew better what they needed.

The group of people talked happily until lunch at noon, when Chen Mo sent them away.

"Are you tired?" Looking at her son, Chen's mother sighed. The servants were still cleaning up the mess, so she took her son and two concubines to the backyard. It was early spring now, and there was a lot of spring in the yard, and the weather was not so cold.

"No, why do you ask that, mother?" Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

"I know my son better than my mother." Mother Chen said with a smile: "My son has indeed grown up a lot. Your Uncle Wang and that Uncle Zheng, Da Lang and your Uncle Yang, as well as the Cai family sisters and A-Dai, are all different people. My son But we can always find some topics for them to participate in without making anyone feel uncomfortable.”

Juan'er on the side felt a little dizzy, right? All I felt just now was joy.

"Yes." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "But we are all from the same hometown, so it is not difficult to find some common words. Besides, Aunt Cai and Uncle Yang have gone through difficulties together with us."

"Actually, on this day, my mother had thought about it before. When you were a child, you had a somewhat withdrawn temperament. She felt that the Chen family was from a noble family after all. Even if they were down and out, they were from a poor family. So if you didn't play with the children in the village, my mother wouldn't either. What I say is that I am worried that if my son achieves something in the future, too many people will come to visit him," Chen's mother sighed.

It sounds a bit realistic, but that's actually what happened. If there hadn't been the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chen Mo could still have been recognized by the Chen family and entered an official career. How would he solve the problem when his neighbors like Cai and Yang Mao came to join him? These people were considered responsible, and they were close at first, but both Chen Mo and Chen's mother knew that if there hadn't been the turmoil, the first people to come to seek refuge would definitely not be these people who were close to them at first, but rather those in the village who didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays. A lot of people came.

If you don't accept it, you are being unkind. If word spreads, your reputation will definitely be bad. For scholars, reputation is very important, but if you accept it, not everyone will be satisfied. In the officialdom, every step is difficult. Political opponents use their methods to attack people from all aspects, and if they use these people to attack you or even defeat you, when you are really in trouble again, those who come to seek refuge will rarely help you, let alone feel that this is the case. It's their fault.

"Mother saw clearly, but... she felt a little unhappy. I can't tell why. It's just that the moment Dumb called me to be your envoy, the child felt a little uncomfortable." Chen Mo said with a smile.

It is really uncomfortable to feel uncomfortable, but Chen Mo naturally understands the reason. Sometimes, when people are happiest, it is often when you have nothing. At that time, everyone is poor and has no defense, and there is no need to worry about too many gains and losses. But when among these people, When someone gets up and a gap appears, the previous friendship will change. Some will fawn over, some will be submissive, and some will pretend to be aloof, but alienation is certain.

"Is it so complicated?" Juan'er asked cautiously.

"Then you have to ask those little sisters from your past." Chen Mo touched Juan'er's head dotingly. Juan'er's face turned red again, which Chen Mo found very interesting.

"Life is like this. If you want to move up, you have to give up many things whether you are willing or not. Just like you and Ah-Dai. After all, Ah-Dai is not like a big man. He will accompany you through life and death and clarify his own position. On the contrary, it is easier to get along with him." Mother Chen smiled and said, "My mother knows a little about what my son has done over the years. My son has been away from the battlefield for a long time, and I am afraid that my mother does not know as much as my son. , when dealing with things, from today's perspective, my son is quite like everyone else, but in terms of family rules and clan laws, my son needs to keep in mind that there are some things that cannot be crossed. Once this line is crossed, That family will no longer be a family.”

Chen Mo nodded. Ruling a family is sometimes the same as governing a country. The rules cannot be broken. A small family has little impact, but if the family is big, the family rules will be very important.

"My child understands." Chen Mo smiled and supported his mother and said, "I will pay attention to it in the future, but I still need mother's guidance."

"After Cai's wife comes in, she will teach him. My son doesn't have to worry too much about this. What my son has to do now is to do a good job in his career. The glory of Chen Qiugong back then, now it seems that I My son is also qualified to do that. My son is not attached to the Chen family, but the Chen family will be proud of my son in the future."

"As my mother said, the child must do it." Chen Mo laughed loudly.

"Young master, you can definitely do it." Juan'er nodded.

"It's not that easy." Chen Mo shook his head. Although he is now ranked as the Ninth Minister, he is actually just the same as the Ninth Minister. There is still a long way to go, but his biggest advantage is that he is young and will rank among the Three Lords in the future. , still have some confidence.

Someone said before that the emotional line of this book is very weak. In fact, emotional drama has never been my thing, so I wanted to give it a try yesterday, but I was afraid of breaking it when it came to the main line, so I wrote a chapter in a dream. I originally wanted to I wrote the version of Butterfly Lovers for the sake of Ma Wencai, but later I found that the space was not enough. According to the progress of this story, I couldn't finish it until three chapters. If the writing is not good, the word count is low, and there is no reputation, I thought of a simple one. Don't worry, everyone. I have received the feedback. This book will not have such dreams again. Thank you for your suggestions. I have been away from home for the past two days and there is not enough time. Huo Huo sends me typos every day and never corrects them. When I come back at night, I don’t want to move when I lie in bed. , tomorrow I will finish correcting the typos I have saved in the past few days even on my knees.
