Chapter 24 The Magical Use of Qi
Chen Mo didn't have any purpose for coming out this time. He was just a little bored after staying between the Zang family's residence and the Imperial Academy for a long time, so he came out to relax.
Although Tong Zilang is also a boy, if he has no reputation, it will be difficult to get ahead. After all, there are countless child prodigies in these days. Although they have no real talent or knowledge, compared to the helpless Chen Mo, those'
Prodigies' are more likely to be favored by the court.
During this period of time, Chen Mo also gradually figured out the way in Taixue. As a boy, I didn't know it before, but now, I have to rank based on seniority. Of course, it's not based on age, but on family background. As for family background, the better ones go first.
Bad... There are 30,000 disciples in Taiyuan Academy, and Chen Mo has even seen a boy in his twenties. According to etiquette, he should not exist at all, but he does exist.
Don't think that you will be valued by the court if you are talented. The fact is that those who are talented but have no family background are the worst off. Therefore, during this period of time, Chen Mo was basically doing nothing in Taiyuan, making friends with others, but not showing much talent.
.
As for wanting to get ahead, there are only two ways. The first is to find a background. Among the disciples of Taiyuan College, find someone with a good family background to join you. You must also be able to think highly of you. Then after three to five years, people will think of you.
One handful and it's done.
Since any rule exists, it has its rationality. Chen Mo did not complain about the secret rules that corrupted the rule of law. This kind of atmosphere was not formed in a day. When the rules that everyone around you have recognized but you don't abide by them, even if you are right.
Yes, it is also wrong.
As for the other one, it is actually similar to the first one. If you can be appreciated by any great scholar, you will still have a chance to get ahead, but this opportunity is more difficult than the previous one. Great scholars are not that easy to see. Now in Luoyang City,
The famous scholar was Lu Zhi. Chen Mo had already sent the invitation, but it was like a stone sinking in the sea. So many days had passed and there was no reply. It would probably take a long time to wait.
As for the first one, Chen Mo understood the truth and didn't mind dormant, but there was still some resistance in his heart.
As for raising Wang, go to Heaven to listen... Today's Chen Mo is no longer the ignorant child he was back then. How to raise Wang? You also need to go to Heaven to listen and let the Emperor know that at least you have to have a noble person to help you.
Pass it on.
Being able to meet his teacher and help him enter his official career, Chen Mo felt that he was already lucky. Now it is not easy to meet a noble person. He can only look for opportunities by himself instead of waiting foolishly.
It's just that he has no relatives in Luoyang now, and the only people who can help him are the small circle of Zang family members in Luoyang. Their status is not high, and what they can help is limited.
When he came to Luoyang this time, Chen Mo still came with the idea of getting ahead, but the invisible circles in Luoyang were like mountains weighing on his head, making it difficult for him to take a step forward.
.
This kind of thing should not be rushed. It is easy to make mistakes if you are anxious, and if you are depressed all the time, it is easy to cause problems. The teacher once told himself some methods when he was frustrated in his early years: study hard, and go see the scenery of Luoyang when he is irritable.
As the capital of the Han Dynasty, apart from the intangible things, it is good in other aspects. Walking more, seeing more, and relaxing yourself will also help to nourish the mind.
In this regard, Chen Mo still agrees.
As the capital of the Han Dynasty, the city of Luoyang was prosperous and prosperous that Chen Mo had never experienced before. It was not just that there were many people, but there were also many rules. Others might feel out of place and uncomfortable when they came, but Chen Mo liked to think.
Why did these rules come into being? Under such explicit or implicit rules, I imagined in my mind how the people at the bottom would live.
The result of the speculation surprised Chen Mo. These explicit or implicit rules and laws are often used to protect the people at the lowest level. In Luoyang, you don't have too many ambitions. If you are more diligent, at least you won't starve to death.
, of course, don’t think about how good it is. Luoyang’s consumption is very high, and most people are busy struggling to survive every day.
Countless rules urge everyone to consciously weave into an invisible giant network, covering everyone in it. Once they touch it, they will immediately be counterattacked from other directions. It is very interesting.
Of course, there is still darkness. Just like everything in this world, where there is Yang, there will be Yin. However, as the capital of a dynasty, Luoyang, these things are more obscure than ordinary county or county towns. If this city would not be affected by
If there is turmoil caused by war or natural disasters, ordinary people may not be exposed to the dark side that exists in this city for a lifetime.
"It's interesting!" Thinking about these things, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What did the young master say?" Juan'er looked at Chen Mo curiously.
"I said this city is very interesting." Chen Mo walked on the street, looking at the lively streets and alleys around him. The air was filled with various aromas coming together. The food in Luoyang was many times more exquisite than in ordinary county towns.
"Isn't it just a little bigger than Dangli?" Juan'er didn't understand why her young master said that. She didn't see anything special about this city compared to ordinary cities.
"It's not that simple..." Chen Mo said this, looked at Juan'er, shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't understand even if I tell you, let's go over there and have a look."
Juan'er followed Chen Mo with small steps, looked at Chen Mo's back, pouted and muttered: "Young master, if you don't tell me, how will I understand?"
The voice was very small, but it couldn't be hidden from Chen Mo's ears. However, Chen Mo just pretended not to hear it. His own ideas were a bit wild at the moment. He still needed to carefully speculate and perfect them. If he wanted to understand, he had to be at least somewhat talented.
Juaner is obviously not suitable.
This is no longer Chongwen Street. Chen Mo doesn't know which street it is. He has seen a map of Luoyang, but some small streets and alleys are not marked. However, the Luoshui River passes here, and the coast is lined with green willows.
There are also relatively few pedestrians.
The reason why I came here is that Chen Mo recently discovered a new use of luck. It seems that every decision he makes will determine the slight fluctuations in his luck. For example, if he chooses to walk on Chongwen Street, there will be no fluctuations, but if he decides to go to Zhuque Street
If so, his luck would increase or decrease by one or two points, but the fluctuation would not be big. However, when he decided to come here, he found that his luck suddenly fluctuated a bit more, rising by a full five points.
Good things will happen, but these luck cannot be used. After the good things happen, they will be scattered, or consumed by the good things that happened. In the past two days, occasionally he can pick up money or bump into someone.
Acquaintance, it is the result of following this luck. Maybe my past usage was too conservative? Will the system master blame myself for abusing it?
