"Now that you can't do anything, what are you going to do to the other rooms? When the time comes to find your weak spot and attack you, you will know that they are not easy to mess with." Wu Ling'er taught earnestly.
"Sister, don't worry, do you know what it means to show weakness to an enemy?"
"Haha." Wu Ling'er laughed. "Put what you have learned into practice."
"It's my sister who taught me better." Wukou said as if he was flattering.
"Okay, did we forget something?"
"Eat." Wukou replied quickly.
"Then let's go, don't keep Chen Mo waiting." As he said this, Wu Ling'er turned and walked towards the door.
"Is he anxious? It's us who should be anxious, right?" Wu Kou followed behind Wu Ling'er.
...
Chen Mo sat quietly on the bench in the corridor of his small yard, the setting sun disappearing from his face inch by inch, until the light of the lantern pulled him out of the darkness again.
"Hey, have you noticed that Mr. Chen has an indescribable aura on his body at this time? Is this what those people in the world call true energy?" Xiao Lan tilted his head at a pillar in the corridor not far away.
Looking at Chen Mo, she had just hung up the last lantern with another maid, Xiaofeng, and servant Afei.
"You are doing this on purpose." Ah Fei said a few words. This Xiaolan was just making assumptions at this time based on what Chen Mo said about Jianghu people today: "We don't feel that there is a difference in status. You said
Is it Xiaofeng?" Juquge
"Yeah, yeah." Xiaofeng nodded.
"Oh, you don't understand. You don't have the heart to experience it. As long as you use your heart to experience it, you will also feel it." Xiaolan did not think that what she felt at this time was just her imagination.
"Really? Then let me feel it." A Fei closed his eyes and seemed to be concentrating on it, and then there was a "gurgling" sound in his abdomen.
"Eh~" The two maids looked down upon him.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" A Fei said without blushing and his heart not beating. "You're not even going to give me anything if you're hungry?"
"Are they still chatting in the front hall?" Xiaofeng said.
"Probably not. In the past, I had nothing to say to them when I came back." Xiao Lan still looked at Chen Mo, as if he was fascinated.
"What are we doing? Let's get together and not work." Suddenly, the elder Agui walked over from behind them and gave each of them a chestnut.
"Ouch."
"oops."
"Hey."
The three people made three sounds in turn.
"We've finished our work, and we're just waiting for dinner." A Fei touched his head and said.
"Someone is coming." Agui said.
"Who is here?" Several people looked towards the door of the small courtyard at the same time, but there was no one there.
Just when they were about to blame this Agui for playing tricks on them, someone appeared at the door of the small courtyard, another servant in the mansion.
The servant walked into the courtyard and came to Chen Mo's side. He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, dinner is served in the mansion. Please come with me."
Chen Mo opened his eyes, like stars in the dark night.
"good."
.....
The dinner was the same as last time. In addition to Chen Mo and Wukou, Wukou and his mother were there, and then Wu Ling'er and her maids.
It's still the same, there are not many people, but the food is indeed rich, and Wu Ling'er no longer wears his black veil to show his true appearance.
"Chen Mo, where is the little sister from last time?" Wu Ling'er asked the same question that Wu Kou asked last time.
Chen Mo had to answer once more: "I threw it away to a place with a lot of books."
Wu Ling'er was the first to use his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. With Wu Ling'er taking the lead, the other three also started to use their chopsticks.
"I thought you wouldn't come until after the New Year."
"For me, it doesn't matter whether it's the Chinese New Year or not. Once things are done, leave when it's time to leave." Chen Mo said while holding the dishes and looked at Wu Kou again.
"Stop looking at me like that. You've finished all the good wine. If you don't mind, I'll ask someone to bring some smaller ones." Wukou moved his body, a little afraid of Chen Mo.
"Sister, you don't know, Chen Mo is so good at drinking, he drank all the wine you gave me." Wu Kou looked at Wu Ling'er and complained.
"You didn't plan to drink it when you were marrying a wife. You're going to drink it now."
"Mother, please help the poor woman talk about the martial artist. He is already a grown man." The martial artist's mother said.
"Mom, what do you mean, you're not young anymore, I'm not even in my early twenties yet."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will supervise him on this matter." Wu Ling'er nodded and said.
Wukou was asking for trouble. He wanted to hint that his sister would give him more good wine, but instead he got himself involved.
"Forget it if you don't have it, let's eat." Chen Mo didn't want to pretend to be inferior and drink whatever wine he wanted in any place. Just like in Xiayang City, the best wine was the wine from their Guo family. In Hongchen Garden, too
Just the wine from the garden, which is famous for its wine, is soothing. In such a magnificent house, of course, we can't use bad wine to accompany it.
It's just that Chen Mo probably doesn't know that those inferior wines are only relatively speaking.
"Have you ever visited Changjing City?" Wu Ling'er asked.
"Walking around."
"How do you feel?" Wu Ling'er began to chat with Chen Mo about ordinary things.
“There are too many people, so I’m not used to it.”
"Is it because I can't find anyone to fight with that I feel uncomfortable?" Wu Ling'er said half-jokingly.
"You can't hit him casually. This is not the Garden of Red Dust." Chen Mo knew that she was joking, and he also saw that she probably knew about the things he did in the Garden of Red Dust.
"It's true that it's not as casual as Hongchen Garden, but there are many martial arts schools here, and you can also go there to compete."
"I went for a walk today and saw two martial arts schools. I have a chance to try them out."
"So what are your plans for this matter?" Wu Ling'er asked.
"Hmm~" Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said, "After competing with the martial arts schools in the city, I want to compete with the great sects of the Tang Dynasty."
"Isn't this what you just wanted to say?!" Wukou glanced at Chen Mo.
"Yes." Chen Mo did not deny it.
"You are really a casual person."
"Master said that only by constantly fighting can you become stronger."
Wu Kou listened to what Chen Mo said and looked at Wu Ling'er, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
After dinner, Wukou's mother went back to her room, leaving the remaining time to the three young men.
The three of them came to Wu Ling'er's exclusive courtyard. The courtyard was clean and tidy. Even if Wu Ling'er didn't come back to live, the place would still be spotless.
On the first floor of the courtyard building, the candles on the candlesticks have already been lit, and the wax on the candlesticks has a light layer. In the center of the house, there is an antique coffee table, and a small charcoal stove next to the coffee table is almost burning.
The enthusiasm was gone, and a maid was sitting behind the coffee table. The teacup on the coffee table had been washed light and clear, just waiting to be poured into the arms of the precious tea.
The waiting tea maid saw Wu Ling'er and the others coming and stood up to respond.
"You go down first, I will take care of the rest by myself." Wu Ling'er ordered.
"Yes." The maid bowed to Wu Ling'er and gave up her position in small steps.
"You and everyone outside should exit the small courtyard. You are not allowed to come in without my instructions."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid took the order and left. Not long after she exited, she heard a few distant voices outside.
In Chen Mo's perception, they are not the same maids.
The three of them sat down, and there was a small heater on the side, which made people not feel the cold.
"Chen Mo, you are lucky. My sister rarely makes tea, but my sister's tea skills are not bad. Except for my brother-in-law, that is, the prince, not many people can taste my sister's tea skills for the second time." Wukou praised.
road.
"I don't understand tea." Chen Mo said in a disgraceful tone.
Wu Ling'er smiled lightly, Chen Mo caught a glimpse of it, and thought to himself: If it weren't for this black spot, the stars outside the house would probably be a little dim.
"Chen Mo, do you know that you can easily offend people by talking like this?" Wu Kou gave him a roll of his eyes.
"I know, someone once told me."
"I know you still say that." Wu Kou said angrily.
"Let's get down to business." Chen Mo didn't want to talk to him about things he didn't care about. They didn't mention what they were going to talk about at the dinner table before.
"Yes, when it comes to business matters, I like straightforward people."
"Then why are you talking to me about anything else?" Chen Mo glanced at him.
"Isn't this just to liven up the atmosphere? It's just a way to set the stage."
At this time, Wu Ling'er's first pot of tea was almost ready, and it was poured dignifiedly and elegantly into the teacups in front of Chen Mo and Wukou. At this time, Wu Ling'er had changed into another temperament.
Chen Mo took the cup of tea and didn't feel it was hot in his hand. He blew it gently and then took a sip.
What Chen Mo said about not being able to drink tea doesn't mean that he really can't taste it. After all, he studied pharmacology with his master and tasted hundreds of herbs instead of thousands.
Chen Mo took a sip, put down the cup, and said, "Two methods, one is fast and the other is slower."
"Of course it's faster." Wukou said impatiently, accidentally spilling the hot tea in his cup, and then looked at his sister nervously and said, "I was wrong, sister."
"The faster method may not work. You have to try it before you know that senior sister's blood is not compatible with mine, so you can only use the second method."
"What do you mean by incompatibility?" Wu Ling'er asked, and Wu Kou on the side also nodded vigorously.
"How should I put it? What Master said at that time was too profound and I didn't understand it." Chen Mo pondered for a moment.
"How many things does master know?" Wu Ling'er said to himself. Judging from the recognition between the two, he and Chen Mo learned different things from master.
"To put it simply, water and oil, they don't melt together."
"You mean our blood will fuse together?"
"That's not the way to say it. Let's just talk about the method, which is to directly transfer my blood into your body."
