Yesterday, after Chen Mo settled down in the government office, he mentioned the matter of becoming a disciple to his mother. Chen's mother naturally supported this. Although Zang Hong was only the county magistrate, not to mention that for people like them, this county magistrate was already

Zang Hong is a very high-ranking person, and his demeanor in conversation alone is already heart-wrenching. Chen Mo is definitely lucky to be able to worship him as his teacher.

So today is a big day for Chen Mo, as he has to officially establish the name of master and disciple with Zang Hong.

The clothes sent by the maid were a bit complicated. Chen Mo studied them for a long time before dressing them neatly. Although he didn't take a shower, he scrubbed himself carefully.

"Woof woof~" Pushing the door open, he saw a black circle rushing towards Chen Mo happily.

"Heizi!" Chen Mo leaned over excitedly and picked up Heizi who rushed towards him. He hadn't seen him for a few days and really missed him.

"Sir, the master of the house is waiting in the front hall." When the maid saw Chen Mo coming out, she quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Sister, please lead the way!" Chen Mo touched Heizi's head, put it on the ground, and said to the maid.

"My servant's status is low. Master, just call me Juan'er." The servant girl was startled, took a step back and bowed.

Ordinary families have to have elders and juniors, let alone such a large family. Chen Mo is a person that Zang Hong is very optimistic about. Although he has not officially become a disciple, there should be no suspense. His identity is naturally at the level of the head of the family. Chen Mo

If you are ignorant, you can bark randomly, but she cannot respond randomly.

Chen Mo thought of Aweng Li Zheng, and the servants in his family seemed to be the same way. However, Aweng and the villagers were not very particular about it. Thinking of Aweng Li Zheng, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little sad, nodded and said: "Excuse me, then."

Lead the way."

Juaner nodded and took Chen Mo to the front hall. Quyang Yamen was not too big, but for Chen Mo, such a courtyard was already very big. Chen Mo looked at the surrounding scenery curiously and asked:

"Sister Juan'er, have you seen the three people who came with my mother?"

Aunt Cai, Ah-Dai and Dalang came together with their mother, so they should be here too, right?

"Go back to the young master, we have arranged some things at the government office." Juan'er saluted Chen Mo again, which made Chen Mo a little uncomfortable.

In these troubled times, it is actually a good thing to be taken in by such a wealthy family.

Under the leadership of the maid Juan'er, they came to a main hall. Zang Hong and Zhang Chao sat side by side facing the door, while Chen's mother sat beside them.

"Mother." Chen Mo said happily when he saw his mother.

"If you don't have any etiquette, I should pay homage to the two county magistrates first." Mother Chen has already understood the identities of the two of them these days, and she understands these rules of respect and inferiority.

"I have met two county magistrates." Chen Mo bowed quickly and said.

Mother Chen didn't say much. It was not appropriate for her to say much on such an occasion. Besides, today was also about her son's future, so Mother Chen seemed a little reserved.

"Is there any result from what I asked you yesterday?" Zang Hong knelt down on the right side, looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile.

Chen Mo looked at his mother subconsciously.

"Don't look at your mother, you should have discussed it last night." The smile on Zang Hong's face was replaced by seriousness: "I learned a lot about you from your mother and Mr. Cai. You are quite filial.

This is very good, and I lost my father when I was young, and I have a tough temperament. I want to know what you think?"

In fact, when accepting disciples these days, it is rare to ask for their opinions, but Zang Hong is very curious about this half-grown child. He is different from other children from aristocratic families or poor families. He has been tortured since childhood. Although he is only ten years old, he has ordinary people.

It is rare for people like Zang Hong and Zhang Chao to have the courage to grow up in such an environment.

Of course, after the previous exchanges, it was clear that Chen Mo's mother's conversational style was from a noble family or from a poor family. Her tutoring should be better than other children, but it was definitely limited. He was very curious about how Chen Mo grew up to be the character he is today.

"Disciple is willing!" Chen Mo didn't waste any words. If he hadn't considered this matter and discussed it with his mother yesterday, he would have become a disciple yesterday. Now that he has received his mother's permission, there is no need to resist.

"I'm asking you what you think of this matter." Zang Hong didn't accept it. He just looked at Chen Mo and asked with a smile: "Can you think of this as an assessment for you?"

Chen Mo thought for a while and said: "I grew up in the countryside and don't know the rules very well. My father's family fell into decline, and when I came to me, I was already down and out. I didn't want my ancestors to be stained by dust, so I wanted to learn, but unfortunately there has been no way.

Come on, it is a disciple's luck to be valued by the teacher now."

To put it simply, Chen Mo wants to revitalize his own team.

Zang Hong smiled and nodded: "You are honest. Now that there is war, the apprenticeship ceremony has been simplified. Today, Brother Meng Gao witnessed it. From today on, you are my disciple. I see that you are literate. I wonder what books you have read?"

"My mother taught me the Analects of Confucius. In the past, I was lent a copy of Mencius in the countryside. I wanted to copy it and call it to Aweng, but a rebellion broke out and Aweng was killed by the thieves." Chen Mo bowed and said.

"You are in the countryside?" Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo in surprise. Generally speaking, in the countryside, those who have a book collector at home are not from a low background.

It's a pity that Chen Mo is only called Aweng. As for his correct name, I don't know. However, his son is the magistrate of Xiao County, so it is not difficult to find out.

"The teachings of Confucius and Mencius are all works of Confucianism. Since you have learned the Analects of Confucius, from today on, I will start teaching you from Mencius."

"Thank you, teacher." Chen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed.

"I am now taking leave to return to my hometown, but now that there is chaos, this leave cannot be counted. Now that the siege of Quyang has been resolved, I need to rush back to Donglai as soon as possible to report on my work. Will you go with me, or will you stay here to study? Wait for peace.

After the religious chaos is settled, I will send someone back to pick you up." Zang Hong asked with a smile.

"Of course I go with the teacher."

"The war is in chaos, it's very dangerous." Zang Hong said with a smile.

"Disciple, don't be afraid!" Chen Mo shook his head.

Zang Hong admired this disciple even more, but when he thought about it, he protected his mother all the way from Xia Qiu to Quyang, and even helped him defeat the Taiping thieves. This kind of courage and resilience are really better than those of ordinary children.

No, I am thinking too much.

"Mrs. Chen, I don't know..." Zang Hong turned to look at Chen's mother and asked.

"I am a prostitute. When I go out, I will not be able to help my husband, but I will also be a drag on my son. So I asked Mo'er to go with my husband, and I can find a livelihood on my own." Mother Chen shook her head. She was worried that she was here, but instead let her go.

My son cannot concentrate on his studies.

A look of respect flashed across Zang Hong's face, and then he shook his head and said: "Since Madam is unwilling, it's not easy for Hong to force her, but Mo'er has made great contributions this time, so it's wrong not to be rewarded. If her mother is left in the market, the world will suffer.

Knowing this, wouldn’t it ruin our reputation? Besides, if my wife’s livelihood is hopeless, how can Mo’er safely go with me?”

"It just so happens that there is an unused manor in Quyang City. How about I ask Madam to take care of it for me?"

"This..." Mother Chen hesitated. This kindness was too great. Just looking at her son's eyes, Mother Chen sighed, nodded and said, "Mr. Benyi, my mother and son cannot repay this kindness."
