In the early morning, there was fog in Luoyang City.

The faint morning light fills the entire city of Luoyang. If viewed from outside the city, the entire city of Luoyang is looming, like a fairyland on earth.

"Winter will begin in a while. I have prepared some winter clothes for my husband. I will bring them with me when we enter the camp today." In the warm tent, Yun Si, who was awakened by Chen Mo's movement to get up, began to help Chen Mo get dressed while chattering.

road.

What's going on with the warm feeling in your heart?

Chen Mo tried hard to keep his eyes from wandering around. Hearing this, he coughed lightly and said, "Put your clothes on first."

Seeing her husband's serious face but looking at her from time to time, Yun Si wanted to laugh but didn't dare. She nodded hard, put a gauze on her body, and continued to help Chen Mo tidy up his clothes.

It was even more uncomfortable, but Chen Mo couldn't accept this kind of thing. He could only stiffly let Yun Si help him get dressed, and then asked her to get dressed quickly. If others saw this look, Chen Mo would

uncomfortable.

"Master, breakfast is ready." Juaner came to the door, knocked on the door, and called softly.

"Yes." Chen Mo opened the door and brought Yun Si and Juan'er, who were all dressed up, into the hall.

"Husband, why are you frowning?" In the hall, Yun Si and Juan'er did not eat together. Dalang sat at Chen Mo's table and ate together. Seeing Chen Mo frowning slightly from time to time, Yun Si said warmly.

"I asked for two days' leave from the military camp to visit Mr. Lu tomorrow, but this gift..." Chen Mo had a headache. Last time he visited Lu Zhi, he brought a bunch of ornaments, and I always felt something was wrong. But if it is an expensive gift, a

If you don’t have it yourself, then Lu Zhi won’t accept it either.

The military prince's salary was not high, and it was barely enough for him to live in Luoyang. If the generals he brought were included, this salary would not be enough.

"That's why I'm worried about this." Yun Si Wenyan chuckled and said, "Mr. Lu is a high-ranking scholar in the country, and he is an upright official. If the young master gives you an expensive gift, I'm afraid he won't accept it, but if it's an ordinary gift, I don't feel comfortable doing it."

"Does Yun Si have a magic trick?" Chen Mo looked at Yun Si and asked.

"For a man like Lu Gong, how about you try to treat others with sincerity?" Yun Si said with a smile.

"How to calculate sincerity?" Chen Mo looked at Yun Si.

"For example, my husband made a bamboo slip with his own hands and gave it to Mr. Lu. The blank bamboo slip is not expensive, and the husband can write some knowledge on it. This book is written by the husband himself, so it is not expensive, but if it is used as a gift, ordinary people will

I'm afraid it's hard to get a lot of money, but my husband can use this to get close to Mr. Lu in the name of asking for advice." Yun Si said with a smile.

"That's right." When Chen Mo heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "Juan'er, go and prepare a bamboo slip and a carving knife for me."

Since it is a gift, naturally it cannot be written with pen and ink. Over time, the handwriting will be blurred and difficult to read, making it inconvenient to store. It can only be carved with a carving knife.

Chen Mo has thousands of books in his chest, but it is impossible to understand them all. Remembering and understanding are two different things. Chen Mo also has many things that he does not understand. He chose a part and copied it down. Firstly, it can be used as a gift. Secondly,

Come and take the opportunity to ask for advice.

"Here." Juaner agreed and trotted away.

"Da Lang." After solving the problem that troubled his heart, Chen Mo felt happy. He looked at Da Lang and said with a smile: "How have you been practicing your martial arts recently?"

"It's acceptable." Dalang shook his head. His martial arts had already passed the stage of vigorous improvement, and now he relied on perseverance and hard training to achieve results.

"Would you like to get some experience in the army?" Chen Mo looked at Da Lang and asked. Now that the Western Army has been established, it is not too difficult for him to insert a person into the army.

Da Lang's swordsmanship is not bad, and his strength is not small. If he can train it well, he may become a general in the future. Compared with others, Chen Mo naturally hopes that Da Lang can become a talent instead of just practicing martial arts all day long.

Martial arts are of course important, but it is really difficult to get a career just by relying on martial arts... Wang Yue is the best example.

"Okay." Dalang's eyes lit up when he heard this. If given the chance, he would naturally want to stand out and shine.

"Let's talk about it first. I am just a military lord at the moment. I can bring you into the camp, but I need to start as an ordinary soldier. I will be promoted in the future if I perform well or have military merit." Chen Mo said with a smile. He has limited rights.

Da Lang can be brought in, but whether he can be promoted or not depends on Da Lang himself.

Dalang naturally agreed. Just like Chen Mo back then, Dalang also needed a chance and a noble person to help him. For Dalang, Chen Mo was obviously that noble person.

Chen Mo looked at Dalang's fortune carefully. Based on his own hard work, Dalang's fortune is now thirty-three. If one day he gets an official position, he will definitely be able to increase it again. Now he has basically established himself.

It's time to give this fellow countryman a hand.

After the meal, Chen Mo let Yun Si go to eat by himself, and he went to the study. Juan'er had already prepared the pen and ink, the bamboo slips, and the carving knife. Chen Mo knelt down behind the desk. After thinking carefully for a moment, he decided to use the quotation from Mencius.

Write one paragraph.

Mencius was the first book that Chen Mo came into contact with. At that time, Li Zheng Aweng gave him a volume, but Mencius itself has more than 35,000 words, and the volume of Mencius is only the beginning.

Later, Chen Mo read all of Mencius at the home of his mentor Zang Hong, but he did not understand many things.

Chen Mo later figured out what Yun Si said. People, regardless of high or low, all have the habit of being teachers. For example, if you randomly find a farmer in the fields, compliment him on how good his crops are, and then ask for advice.

How to farm? A farmer who is usually dull and taciturn can talk to you for a whole day and still have a lot to say.

At this moment, he came to the study room and calmed down. Chen Mo looked back on the past and saw that each of the characters he had met had more or less shown this aspect, including himself. Chen Mo also liked to explain principles to others in the military camp. This...

...is it considered inferiority or not?

It seems that I sometimes resent others lecturing me, including teachers, but I am just too polite to interrupt.

Shaking his head, Chen Mo spread out the bamboo slips, no longer thought about it, and started writing directly. It is not difficult to write a book like Mencius silently. There are more than 35,000 words in the book. He knows where it is fluent and where it is obscure.

Chest, it is not difficult to write it now, but it is the carving later that is laborious.

Hundreds of words were carved out one by one according to the handwriting. Chen Mo thought it was not difficult at first, but when he started to do it, he realized that it was not easy to carve it out exactly according to his own handwriting. The carving did not seem useless. Chen Mo only carved two words.

, it took half an hour to follow the instructions. I am afraid that today is not enough to carve out these hundreds of words.

Luck...

Looking at his luck, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, lay down on the side of the desk, and chose to enter the dream training camp. He seemed to have seen basic carving skills in the training camp.

Carving is not that difficult in carving, but now that he has entered the Dreamland Training Camp, it is naturally impossible to just learn carving. Here, Chen Mo learned the entire wood carving.

When it comes to the shaping of a wood carving and how to deal with the image and space, the carver has a rough idea of ​​what the carving should look like before carving, and how big it should be, down to the smallest detail.

Of course, harmony alone is not enough. If you want to present the finished product in your mind into reality, in addition to training in the sense of space, the requirements for sword skills are also quite strict, and the sword skills here are not used for fighting.

That kind of sword technique is three inches short and tough, and it is superior in subtle details. The processing of subtle details is much more difficult than the sword technique of wide opening and large closing.

After having the above two points, the next step is the actual operation. In the hands of a real wood carver, they are not carving, but they are shelling the wood carving that has a finished product in their mind, and removing the excess debris bit by bit.

, and finally form the finished product.

This time, Chen Mo spent a year in the training camp to learn wood carving to level nine. The reason why it is shorter than the previous skills is not because wood carving is easy, but because Chen Mo is stronger now than when he first entered the dream training camp.

More than a little.

Not to mention physical strength, just memorization, the influence of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the adaptability to weapons and the flexibility of movements brought about by proficiency in various weapons. These external conditions have made Chen Mo want to learn a new martial arts now.

It's not as difficult as it was at first.

"Juan'er, bring me another roll of bamboo slips." After waking up from the dream training camp, the long-standing feeling of alienation gradually disappeared. Now looking at the bamboo slips on the desk, Chen Mo suddenly felt a little helpless. After a moment of silence,

He shouted directly to Juaner outside the door.

"Sir, how are you doing at this moment?" After a while, Juan'er came in with a new blank bamboo slip. She looked at the bamboo slips on the desk and felt that the writing was pretty good.

"It's uneven and has ruined the original charm of the characters. How can it be said to be good?" Chen Mo rolled up the old bamboo slips, knocked on its head and said, "Take it out."

"Here~" Juaner reluctantly took the bamboo slips and exited the room.

Chen Mo spread out the new bamboo slips and picked up the carving knife. The moment he picked up the carving knife, he felt a sense of familiarity. He looked at the blank bamboo slips in front of him. Although there were no words on them, in Chen Mo's eyes, it was already a finished product.

What I have to do now is to clean up the impurities stuck to the words.

The carving knife slid slowly, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, and debris kept flying from the bamboo slip. Chen Mo moved very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had already written more than fifty words. Compared with the two words in the previous half hour,

More than ten times faster.

In an hour, the bamboo slips were carved.

Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Chen Mo suddenly felt that the shape of the bamboo slip was a bit too crude, so he carefully polished the edges of the bamboo slip neatly and smoothly, and carved several patterns.

After revising and revising like this, Chen Mo was busy until the evening. Chen Mo was satisfied with the bamboo slip. After asking Yun Si to help him wrap the bamboo slip with something, Chen Mo returned to the bedroom. This day, he knelt down in the study and his legs were numb.
Chapter completed!
