Chapter 33: Poor People and Short ambitions

A capable official in peacetime, a hero in troubled times? It seems to be similar to Cao Cao's capable ministers in prosperous times, and heroes in troubled times. For Chen Mo, this comment can indeed boost his reputation. After leaving Xu Shao's mansion, Chen Mo found that his luck had increased.

It's a full ten points, but Chen Mo always feels that this luck is a bit empty.

"Young Master, why are you frowning?" After Juan'er followed Chen Mo out, she looked at Chen Mo's worried look and was a little confused: "Then Mr. Xu didn't comment on the Young Master?"

"Yes, and the review is not bad." Cao Cao sighed on the side: "It's just that for your young master, this review may not be a good thing."

"Brother Meng De also noticed it?" Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao helplessly.

"Well, Virtue is not worthy of his place. Xu Zi will rob this old man very badly." Cao Cao nodded and smiled.

"My young master is knowledgeable. The head of the family once said that his talents are rare in this world." Juan'er looked at Cao Cao dissatisfied, looking like a little dog protecting his master.

"It's not the lack of talent that matches the virtues." Chen Mo rubbed Juan'er's head and said with a smile.

"Young Master is extremely filial and is quite famous in his circles." Juan'er said dissatisfied.

"This virtue is not only about virtue, but the most important thing is family background. When I first came to Luoyang, I had no great reputation and my performance in Taixue was mediocre. But now I have received a comment similar to that of Brother Meng De. There must be some people who are dissatisfied. Next,

, I'm afraid I won't be at peace." Chen Mo stretched his muscles and bones, but the depression in his body had dissipated.

"Then Mr. Cao..." Juaner looked at Cao Cao curiously.

"Brother Meng De's father, Song Gong, is the head of the three princes. In addition, he is also on good terms with the Yuan family and has a reputation for political achievements. I don't have these things." Chen Mo said with a smile, but there was not much in his heart.

Discouraged, now that he has received this comment, he must find a way to convince others that blaming others is not his style.

"Although there are some philistines, this is the reason. If a wise brother can see it away, I will feel relieved as a brother." Cao Cao laughed when he heard this.

"Should you look away, what is supposed to come will always come. Since you can't stop it, you can only face it. It just so happens that you can meet this young talent in Luoyang." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"It's good that you understand. Luoyang is indeed prosperous, but there are some things that you can't avoid if you move forward." Cao Cao patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said sincerely, he is someone who has experienced it.

"In any case, thank you for your help, brother, for today's matter." Chen Mo nodded, cupped his fists and saluted Cao Cao. If Cao Cao hadn't been there today, even if he really got in, he might not be able to get Xu Shao's comment. More likely, it would be

Being taken away directly by someone, at the feet of the emperor, a dignified personage, not everyone is qualified to offend.

"With a little effort, my dear brother, if you really feel sorry for yourself, how about... Chunmanlou?" At the end of the sentence, Cao Cao winked at Chen Mo.

"This..." Chen Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My master has instructed me to go to that place as little as possible."

The most important thing is that it is too expensive. Chen Mo may not be able to make a round with all his current wealth, not to mention the drunken activities. So far, Chen Mo is not embarrassed to ask how much it will cost.

"Ziyuan is just too rigid. Don't worry about it. Let's talk about it another day. We'll talk about it another day." Cao Cao laughed and didn't take it seriously. People don't waste their youth in being romantic. He, Cao Mengde, has already passed by and is still charming.

The little brother is good at everything, but he is as old-fashioned as Zang Ziyuan. In this regard, he still needs to be nurtured and nurtured. When Zang Hong was mentioned, Chen Mo was a little unhappy. Cao Cao changed the subject at the right time and said: "You go visit Mr. Lu and pay homage to Mrs.

Generally speaking, Mr. Lu won't accept anything that's too valuable, but don't leave it empty-handed."

In fact, it is very common to reciprocate with courtesy. Although Lu Zhi is a bit noble, he is not unreasonable. He just won't accept gifts that are too expensive. But if he really leaves empty-handed, Lu Zhi will naturally

I don’t know what to say, but how to say it... There is such a thing as favor exchange. What makes you really willing to make friends is not to see how valuable your gift is, but whether you have the intention to do so.

"Understood." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this. In the Han Dynasty, and even in the surrounding Xiongnu and other places in the Western Regions, courtesy exchanges were a relatively common custom.

"Brother, I still have an appointment with Benchu ​​today, so I'll say goodbye. If necessary, please come to Chun Nuan Pavilion to find me. Cao Cao will be there most of the time these days." Cao Cao obviously did not have Chen Mo's bond in this regard.

"Sir, where is Chunnuan Pavilion?" Juan'er asked curiously.

"Brothet." Chen Mo said goodbye to Cao Cao and said casually as he walked away.

"Is that place really as good as those people said?" Although Juan'er often heard people talk about it, she didn't think that brothels were any better than ordinary inns.

"It varies from person to person. Some people like it, and others will naturally reject it. But for most men, it is really good there. The reason for rejection is mostly..." At this point, Chen Mo paused, not knowing whether he should

It’s time to continue talking. For him, he drank too much that night. Although his consciousness was awake, his body was numb and uncontrollable. In fact, he didn’t feel what kind of experience it was. But aside from this, Chun Nuan

The style of the pavilion and the attentive service are unmatched by other places.

"Why?" Juan'er looked at Chen Mo curiously and didn't understand why she suddenly stopped talking.

"No money." Chen Mo sighed. He didn't realize it before when he was in Dangli, but after arriving in Luoyang, Chen Mo began to deeply understand the importance of money. In fact, he also intended to invite Cao Cao back several times, but he was short of money and could not

The places you can afford to go are not as good as places like Chunnuang Pavilion. The intangible level of Luoyang may also include financial resources.

"Yes." Juan'er heard this, but thought of other issues, nodded in agreement and said: "The pork in Luoyang City is twice as expensive as the local price. I am thinking of buying some chickens to raise these days.

, you can save some money.”

Zang Hong treated Chen Mo well, but Chen Mo couldn't take too much. Besides, his mother also relied on teachers to support her. Even if Chen Mo felt that some necessary expenses were unavoidable, he didn't want to talk to Zang Hong. Juan'er knew this, so Chen Mo usually

Juaner also tried her best to help save the expenses.

Chen Mo looked back at Juan'er strangely. They seemed to be talking about the same thing, right? Why did this girl from the brothel think of pork?

"So, poor people like us should stop wandering around the streets. We can't afford anything we see." Chen Mo felt that he should find some financial resources, but who could help him? This was a problem.
