"Well said, many people live their lives in confusion, but they don't understand this." Cai Yong looked at Chen Mo and thought about whether he had been doing what he thought was right over the years. He sighed with some emotion: "It's just that

It is easy to say that life is like floating ducks in the sky, but it is extremely difficult to do it."

There are ups and downs in the officialdom. Sometimes you can't do many things if you don't want to. People around you will push you to do it. Cai Yong feels this deeply, and Chen Mo is still sticking to himself, but

How long can you hold on?

The sound of the piano sounded again, but Chen Mo could no longer feel the sense of detachment at this time. Suddenly, an unspeakable feeling of filth arose in his heart. It was not the sound of the piano, but himself. In Luoyang, there were many things that he didn't want to do but

Did you do it again? Can you really hold on to your past persistence?

"Zhao Ji has no experience in the world and is young and ignorant. Don't blame the general." Cai Yong frowned, then shook his head and smiled.

"The artistic conception is noble, and I am a worldly person..." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"The general is not familiar with music, but he can understand its artistic conception, which is extraordinary." Cai Yong shook his head and said: "People, before they have experienced the world, will always have some ideas... Although this song is good, my daughter, who has not experienced the world, cannot get it.

Its charm.”

"May I ask what the name of this song is?" Chen Mo asked doubtfully.

"Mountains and flowing water."

"It's this song, no wonder." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"The general also knows this song?" Cai Yong asked unexpectedly.

"The love between Bo Ya and Zi Qi is enviable." Chen Mo nodded: "Although Mo doesn't know the music, these things are recorded in allusions."

"It's a pity that a close friend is hard to find." Cai Yong's eyes flashed with kindness, he shook his head, and talked about some literature and poetry with Chen Mo. He was a little surprised to find that although Chen Mo had few poems in the world, he had learned a lot and talked about ancient theories.

Today, there is no sluggishness at all. What he has learned gives Cai Yong the feeling that he is not talking to a young man, but to talking about knowledge with people like Lu Zhi and Xun Shuang. For a moment, he doesn't know.

Time passed, and it wasn't until the servant came to ask about the meal that he finally woke up.

"Just in time, how about my nephew staying and dining with me?" Cai Yong looked at Chen Mo and invited.

Before we got down to business, we had a discussion about knowledge. Chen Mo was also a learned man. He had read through the Zang family's collection of books. After entering Luoyang, he borrowed and engraved books and learned about the reading experiences and insights of the ancestors of each family. In terms of study alone,

, Chen Mo and Cai Yong can talk about a lot, and Cai Yong can enlighten them about many things they don’t understand.

"No." Chen Mo stood up, shook his head and said, "When I left home, I made an appointment with my family to go home, and I will hold a banquet to invite Cai Weng some other day."

"That's alright." Cai Yong nodded, personally walked Chen Mo to the entrance of the hall, and ordered the steward to send Chen Mo out of the house.

During dinner, Cai Yan glanced at his father curiously and said, "Father seems to be in a very happy mood today."

This was probably the happiest moment for Cai Yong since he was forced into Luoyang by Dong Zhuo.

"I met a young prodigy." Cai Yong nodded and said with a smile: "This person is about the same age as you, but he has learned a lot, which is not much worse than his father. Maybe my son can consider it."

"My father promised the child that he would no longer be forced to do anything in this life." Cai Yan put down the soup in his hand and said calmly.

Cai Yong's expression froze when he heard this, and he sighed. Back then, he had good relations with the Wei family and agreed to marry into this family. Cai Yan was ignorant and married into the Wei family at the age of thirteen. As a result, after marrying into the Wei family, the Wei family

Zhongdao fell ill and died less than half a year later. Cai Yan was regarded as a disaster star by the Wei family and suffered countless humiliations. Later, he was secretly sent back by one of Cai Yong's disciples. But from then on, the father and daughter made an agreement.

, unless Cai Yan agrees, she will never marry again.

In fact, Cai Yong was quite depressed during that time. Wei Zhongdao was originally a sick man. He took into account the friendship between the two families and had an appointment in advance before marrying off his daughter. Who knew that the Wei family directly reported Wei Zhongdao's death?

The blame was placed on Cai Yan. A well-educated daughter of her own had moved into the Wei family and had been taking care of the bedridden Wei Zhongdao. As a result, she was slandered by the Wei family even after her death. This tone was not what Cai Yan, who was still in Jiangdong at that time,

Yong Ke directly wrote to Liu Hong to discuss the matter.

Even though Cai Yong was exiled at that time and was considered guilty, as a leader in the world's literary circles and a former teacher of Liu Hong, Liu Hong was very protective of his shortcomings as long as it did not involve political affairs. The Wei family has not even had a prefect in these years.

, even thanks to Cai Yong’s letter, the Wei family, which was already in decline, is now just relying on the shadow of its ancestors to survive, and can only be a wealthy and famous family in a county in the east of Hedong. It sounds like it is very powerful.

But in its heyday, the Wei family was a powerful family in the world, not much different from the Yang family in Hongnong and the Yuan family in Runan. However, now it is far less glorious than the Yang family and the Yuan family.

However, this incident brought a great psychological shadow to Cai Yan.

Moreover, although the Wei family was punished, Cai Yan's reputation as a husband became more and more widespread. In recent years, some people came to ask for marriage. The customs of the Han Dynasty did not exclude the idea of ​​marrying a widow, but Cai Yan himself resisted remarrying.

, Secondly, to be honest, Cai Yong doesn’t like those people either.

"I won't force you. In this way, I will hold a banquet for my father some other day and invite him to my home. Don't mention this matter. My son will meet him once. If he is willing, of course it is good. But if he is not willing, my father will never mention it again.

"Cai Yong was worried about his daughter's future marriage, but he really felt that Chen Mo was good, persistent, capable and well-behaved.

Cai Yan also knew that his father had been anxious about his marriage in the past few years, so he couldn't bear to feel sad for his father, so he nodded in agreement.

"There are several changes in your song today." Cai Yong suddenly frowned and said: "This song of Mountains and Flowing Waters is a unique piece of music, how can you make changes in vain?"

"Didn't my father also say that knowledge can't be learned to death? My daughter thinks that this song has a more artistic conception after being modified like this." Cai Yan looked at her father and said.

"You, after all the ups and downs of life, the things you have changed are the true meaning of this song. But I can't blame you. When you experience more in the future, you will understand that there is a lot of resentment in your heart now.

Compassion and self-pity, longing for holiness, but this world... alas... just eat." Cai Yong said no more at the end. There are many things that you just don't understand if you haven't experienced them. This is something that talent and talent cannot make up for.

It's useless to say more.

…

Naturally, Chen Mo didn't know that someone was thinking about him. After leaving Cai's Mansion, he rubbed his brows with a headache. In the end, he forgot about the business. It seemed that he would have to visit again in two days.

As he was walking, his vision suddenly dimmed and he was blocked by someone. When he looked up, he saw Lu Bu looking down at him.

"Why is Marquis Wen here?" Chen Mo took a few steps back before greeting him. It was not a good feeling to be condescended to. He was not a lowly person now, but Lu Bu was a head taller than him.

"You have nothing to do, feel free to take a walk." Lu Bu shook his head, returned a bow to Chen Mo, looked around suspiciously and said, "Where is your general?"

"Military camp training." Chen Mo said with a smile: "I'm not a big shot, and I don't need to have guards around me all day long."

"If Captain Sili is not a big shot, Bu Bu doesn't know how big a big shot Captain Chen is talking about?" Lu Bu walked side by side with Chen Mo. It could be seen that he was actually quite lonely. He didn't have many friends in Luoyang.

Scholars... at least not many of them take Lu Bu seriously.

"Like Marquis Wen." Chen Mo said casually.

"Hey~" Lu Bu grinned when he heard this, his smile was fake: "Are you mocking Yu?"

"Why are you sarcastic?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"The thief who betrays his master~ha~" Lu Bu said at the end, with some anger in his eyes. Those people labeled him like this without asking the reason. Although no one told Lu Bu face to face, Lu Bu was not deaf. After such a long time

, you can always hear some rumors.

"People's words are scary. Sometimes what this person can hear is usually what they want to hear, and what they say is something that is beneficial to them. It's just that the general has been guarding the border all year round and has not had contact with these people.

However, Duke Jianyang is dead, and it is difficult for me to criticize him for his shortcomings. If Marquis Wen wants to resolve these issues, he might as well go and pay homage to Duke Jianyang." Chen Mo said with a smile.

The deceased is the most important, the person is already dead, what you say is dead without any proof, and it is indeed you who killed Ding Yuan. If people insist on this, you can’t defend yourself even if you have a hundred mouths. The best defense is

Just don't say anything, use actions to tell everyone that I was forced, and it's best to shed some tears.

"You are at a loss, why?" Lu Bu snorted coldly, looking at Chen Mo with a bit of dissatisfaction.

"Things in this world are not black and white. Right and wrong are in people's hearts. Sometimes, you and I live in the eyes of others. Many things are done for others to see." Chen Mo was automatically immune to Lu Bu's murderous intent.

Walk along the way.

"Isn't it a very frustrating life?" Lu Bu frowned.

"Marquis Wen has probably never been defeated, right?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Lu Bu said proudly: "When I was twelve years old, I mounted my horse to kill the enemy. I shot from the clouds across Shuo Fang. No one is my enemy!"

"I have been defeated, and defeated many times." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Lu Bu: "..."

Why do you feel this sentence is so powerful?

Chen Mo looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile: "So, in order to survive, I will do whatever it takes. People must survive first, and then they can talk about other things. It is a good thing that Marquis Wen has not suffered a defeat. It is Marquis Wen's ability, but I have never experienced that time and time again."

Falling down and having to get up in order to survive may also be a pity.”

Lu Bu frowned and thought for a while, it seemed reasonable, but...

Turning to look at Chen Mo, Lu Bu suddenly asked: "Why are you obviously younger than me, but when I talk to you, it seems like I'm talking to an older person?"

"Probably..." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Mo is better at enduring hardships. Today you and I met by chance and chatted for a few words. Marquis Wen asked, so I will tell you my opinion. If Marquis Wen doesn't listen, just

Just keep talking nonsense. When I arrive at my home, would Marquis Wen want to come in and talk about it?"

"No need." Lu Bu shook his head.

"Then... I will take my leave." Chen Mo saluted Lu Bu, turned around and pushed the door open.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Mo's back and thought for a while. It seemed that what Chen Mo said made sense. But when he thought about it again, did this guy ask him to deliberately defeat him? Scholars are all the same, and they can't understand what he said. How stupid!
