Chen Mo didn't know what happened to the military bandits in the Cheng Mansion. He only knew that it looked like a big battle had been fought when he came back.
"Are you going to Di Yu's place tomorrow?" Chen Mo looked at his depressed look and asked.
"Go, why don't you go? We made an appointment with Brother Di. I'm fine. It's just that my heart is a little blocked. How about you let me punch a few times to let me vent." Wukou clenched his fists and looked stupid.
The look of wanting to try.
"OK."
Then, that night, not long after Wu Kou returned home, bursts of painful screams broke out in Chen Mo's courtyard.
...
The next day, the carriage was ready for departure. When Wu Kou walked out of the Wu Mansion, his posture was a little deformed, and the corners of his mouth were twitching from time to time.
"With your body, you are too weak to be a general." Chen Mo walked down the steps side by side with the warrior.
"Do you want to catch a lot of people like you? Besides, fighting a war depends not only on one's own force, but also on strategy and the knowledge of using soldiers." Wukou gave Chen Mo a roll of his eyes and said.
"If I were your enemy, I would capture you."
"Yeah, you're not the only one who thinks so, but I'm not fine now?" Wu Koulou smiled evilly.
The Di family is somewhat far away from the Wu family, because the powerful people in the Wu family do not belong to this range, nor can they be said to be ordinary people. They are somewhere in between. If they were placed in the same place and left, the Di family would
The family's status is still quite high, but there are many big bosses in Changjing. In addition to the four major families, there are also various royal relatives and so on.
The two of them did not bring any servants, and the carriage was filled with gifts. The two of them sat in front of the carriage and drove the carriage through the streets, attracting many people's attention, and they began to guess whose young master this was.
So down to earth.
Changjing is a big place, and there are many dignitaries. The common people may not remember it. Moreover, the military commanders are not in Changjing many days in a year, and the people who know him are even fewer. They only know through their clothes that they must
It's the young master.
When the carriage arrived at Di's courtyard, Di's servants had been waiting at the door for a long time. It was an agreement, so they were prepared.
The leader of the servants is Lao Huang, who worked as Di Er's groom last time.
"General Di, my young master has been waiting for a long time." Lao Huang greeted the military pirates with his simple smile.
"Old Huang, the gift is in the car. You can get it and I can go in by myself." Wu Kou patted the car and said.
"Okay."
Lao Huang did not refuse, because the relationship between their two families was so familiar that he no longer cared about some details.
Of course, the size of the Di family and the Wu family cannot be compared. The Di family is not a family of eunuchs. Di Yu's father is an official in the court. He is not a big or small official, and there is no lucrative position. He has no family background in Changjing.
, According to Wu Kou, this yard was rented by the Di family. It was not that the Di family could not afford it, but that it was not necessary, so they never bought it.
On the way here, I heard Wu Kou briefly talk about the situation of the Di family. Di Yu's father and Wu Ling'er's father are good friends. They have known each other since they were young, so they are very good friends. Di Yu's parents are both
While still alive, Di Yu's father resigned from his post when Di Yu was transferred back to Changjing to serve as an official, and was doing other things at home.
Di Yu is an only child. He has no brothers or sisters in his family. He does have some cousins, but they are not in Changjing, but in his hometown.
Walking into the gate, there is no screen wall in the Di family's house, so you can see the grass in the front yard. However, the grass has been covered with heavy snow. You can only see the thick snow and the winding path shoveled by hand. However, there are probably no people on this road.
Let’s go, can’t we walk along a nice corridor?
Di Yu and his family were chatting around a charcoal stove in the front hall. When they saw the two warriors coming, they all stood up to greet them.
"Kouer is here, and he has brought new friends with him." The woman smiled and called Wu Kou, and the title was very affectionate.
"Uncle and aunt, happy New Year." Wukou greeted the two elders with a happy smile.
"Father, mother, let me introduce to you, this is Chen Mo, a new friend I just met." Di Yu said and looked at Chen Mo again and said, "This is my father and my mother."
"Happy New Year." Chen Mo said indifferently.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." The two elders were a little embarrassed by Chen Mo's tone.
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, they are just so cold and don't like to talk, don't mind." Wukou explained from the side.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, come and sit inside." The two elders were relieved and thought they had done something wrong.
At this time, the servants of the Di family were carrying large and small things inside.
"Kou'er, I brought so many things here again. Didn't I tell you not to bring them? If you want to bring them, just bring a little." The woman said reproachfully.
"I only come here once a year, so I should bring more things." Wu Kou said while sitting on the prepared chair. On the other side, a little maid soon brought hot tea.
"Mom, if he takes it, let him take it. He won't feel at ease if he doesn't take it with him." Di Yu said with a smile.
"Look at your child, how you talk." The woman glared at Di Yu.
"Chen Mo, how have you been this year?" Di Yu asked, holding tea.
"Don't mention it." Chen Mo didn't say anything, but Wu Kou answered. "It was pretty bad in the first place, but bad things happened one after another. Don't mention how troublesome it is."
"It's okay, it's just a bit lively." Chen Mo said.
"Little brother Chen Mo, the Chinese New Year is about being lively. When it's lively, those evil things won't dare to come near. This is recorded in ancient books." Di Yu's father said.
The five people chatted around the blazing charcoal stove. Chen Mo basically listened quietly. What they talked about was not about official matters, but just about family affairs. Even so, Chen Mo couldn't find much.
topic.
The warm charcoal stove, the refreshing tea, the sounds of joy and laughter, if you put aside those prosperous embellishments, they are not much different from other people.
At the same time, on the other side, a carriage entered from outside the city gate. The road at this time was only barely passable. From this, we can see how anxious the carriage was to come to Changjing.
"What kind of flattery is that? The snow has just stopped and you are here to give gifts." The people who were still shoveling snow on the road stopped their work and looked at the carriage. The style of the carriage was quite gorgeous.
Not an ordinary person.
"It seems to belong to the Shen family of Lingmiao." Another person seemed to recognize the carriage and said.
"That nouveau riche? That's not surprising. I heard that he brings a lot of money to Changjing every year, saying that it is for capital turnover of the Jubao Bank in Changjing. But anyone who is not stupid knows that he takes a lot of money with him.
What did you do with that money?" The man said with disdain.
"Why don't you worry about this? If you were capable, people would send a lot of money to your house." Another person said with contempt that this person is jealous of others.
"I don't have much ability, but my son does. In a few years, when my son is named on the gold medal list, he will be able to be a high official. I can't be a high official, but I can be a high official and his father, hum."
"Come on, your stupid son, it would be great if he could find a wife and become a high official." The people next to him didn't believe his nonsense.
"Whose son are you talking about? You are the stupid son, and your whole family is stupid."
"Look, it's so urgent."
The carriage drove to the door of Di's house. The door of Di's house was closed tightly, as if no one was home.
"Dad, look, no one is at home. Let's go to Wu Mansion first." Shen Qianqian's head stuck out from the window of the carriage and looked at the closed door.
Shen Wanguan no longer wanted to talk to this obsessed daughter, and now Shen Qianqian almost didn't listen to him. He asked his daughter what she meant to Chen Mo, and he answered directly, "I like it," and then After listening to a bunch of words, I did like it, and it was a pure liking. There was no such thing as a man's love for a woman's love. This made Shen Waguan breathe a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was against that kind of thing, it was just that it was very important to him. Not a very good choice.
Shen Wanguan jumped out of the carriage and came to the gate of the Di family. He patted the old door. There was no sound. He patted it a few times. Just when he thought there was nothing inside, the voice of Mr. Huang from the Di family came from inside. Sent out.
"Who?"
"It's me, Shen Wanguan." Shen Wanguan replied.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of Di's house was opened, and Old Huang's figure appeared in the crack of the door.
"Hey, it's Mr. Shen. He entered Changjing just after the snow stopped?"
"I can't help it. The little ancestor at home made my head hurt, so he came here at will. Let's not talk about it for now. Is Lord Di here?" Shen Wanguan asked.
"Oh, hey, come in and have a seat?" Lao Huang opened the door, and people outside could see what was going on in the front hall.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Di has helped me a lot. I just brought some local products to Mr. Di." As Shen Wanguan said, a small figure jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the gate in a hurry, passing by Lao Huang When I did, I didn’t forget to shout.
"I've met Uncle Huang."
"Hey." Lao Huang responded, and then said: "Miss Shen, please slow down, the road is slippery."
Then he looked at Shen Waguan in confusion.
"Ignore her, ignore her, can you get me something?" Shen Wanguan sighed and said.
"Okay, okay." Lao Huang came out of the door and followed Shen Wanguan to the carriage. At this time, the carriage disappeared and a woman and a young man also walked out.
Shen Qianqian ran towards the hall with her white fur coat on her face like the wind. It wasn't until she appeared in the hall that the few people chatting realized that someone was coming.
Shen Qianqian suppressed her temper and greeted politely.
"Qianqian has met Uncle Di, Aunt Bai, Brother Di, Brother Wu, and Brother Chen Mo."
When Shen Qianqian mentioned Chen Mo, she deliberately lengthened her voice for fear that the other party wouldn't hear her.
