The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chen Mo did not come out for any purpose this time. He just felt bored after staying between the Zang family's house and the Imperial College for a long time, so he came out to relax.

Although a Tongzilang is also a Lang, it is difficult to stand out without a reputation. After all, there are countless child prodigies these days. Although they have no real talents, compared with Chen Mo who has no one to rely on, those "child prodigies" are more likely to be favored by the court.

During this period, Chen Mo gradually figured out the way in the Imperial College. As a Tongzilang, he didn't know what it was like before, but now, he has to be ranked according to seniority. Of course, it is not based on age, but on family background. Those with good family backgrounds go first. As for those with bad family backgrounds... Among the 30,000 disciples in the Imperial College, Chen Mo even saw a Tongzilang in his twenties. According to etiquette, there should be no such thing, but there is one.

Don't think that you can be valued by the court if you have talent. The fact is that people with talent but no family background are the worst. So during this period, Chen Mo basically did nothing in the Imperial College, making friends with people, but not showing off his talents.

As for wanting to stand out, there are only two ways. The first is to find a background. Find someone with a good family background among the disciples of the Tai Academy. They must also look up to you. Then, after three to five years, they will remember you and help you.

Any rules have their rationality. Chen Mo did not complain about the secret rules that corrupted the government. This kind of atmosphere was not formed in one day. When you do not follow the rules that everyone around you has recognized, even if you are right, you are wrong.

As for the other one, it is actually similar to the first one. If you can be appreciated by a great scholar, you will have a chance to stand out. However, such an opportunity is more difficult than the previous one. Great scholars are not so easy to find. Now in Luoyang City, the famous great scholar is Lu Zhi. Chen Mo has sent out the visiting card, but it has sunk into the sea. So many days have passed, and there is no response. It is estimated that it will take a long time to wait.

As for the first one, Chen Mo understands the reason and does not mind lying dormant, but there is still some resistance in his heart.

As for raising his reputation and letting the emperor know... Chen Mo is no longer the ignorant child he was before. How can he raise his reputation? He also needs to let the emperor know. At least he needs a noble person to help him pass it on.

Chen Mo felt that he was lucky to meet a teacher who allowed him to enter the official career. Now it is not easy to meet a noble person. He can only find opportunities by himself and cannot wait foolishly like fate.

But he has no relatives in Luoyang now. The only people who can help him are the small circle of Zang family in Luoyang. They are not in a high position and can only help limitedly.

This time when he came to Luoyang, Chen Mo still had the idea of ​​making a name for himself, but the invisible circle in Luoyang was like a mountain pressing on his head, making it difficult for him to take a step forward.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed. If you are in a hurry, you will easily make mistakes. If you are always depressed, it will also be easy to have problems. The teacher once told me some methods he used when he was unsuccessful in his early years. He studied hard and went to see the scenery of Luoyang when he was upset. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, except for the intangible things, other aspects are good. Walk more, see more, and empty yourself, which is also helpful for nourishing the heart.

In this regard, Chen Mo still agrees.

As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City is prosperous, which Chen Mo has never experienced. It is not just a simple crowd, but also a lot of rules. Others may feel out of place and uncomfortable when they come, but Chen Mo likes to think about why these rules are born. Under such explicit or implicit rules, he imagines how the lowest people will live in his mind.

The result of the speculation surprised Chen Mo. These rules and laws, whether explicit or implicit, are often used to protect the lowest-level people. In Luoyang, if you don't have too much ambition and work harder, at least you won't starve to death. Of course, don't think about how good your life is. The consumption in Luoyang is very high, and most people are busy for survival every day.

Countless rules prompt everyone to consciously weave an invisible giant net, covering everyone in it. Once you touch it, you will immediately be backlashed from other directions. It's very interesting.

Of course, there is still darkness, just like everything in the world, there will be yin when there is yang, but Luoyang, as a capital of a dynasty, these things are more obscure than ordinary county towns or county towns. If this city is not affected by war or natural disasters, ordinary people may never come into contact with the dark side of this city in their lifetime.

"Interesting!" Thinking of these things, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing.

"What did the young master say?" Juan'er looked at Chen Mo curiously.

"I said this city is very interesting." Chen Mo walked leisurely on the street, looking at the bustling streets around him. The air was filled with various aromas. The food in Luoyang was many times more exquisite than that in ordinary counties.

"Isn't it just a little bigger than Dangli?" Juan'er didn't understand why her master said that. She didn't see what was 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 laughed, "You won't understand even if I tell you. Let's go and take a look over there."

Juan'er followed Chen Mo in small steps, looking at Chen Mo's back, pouting and muttering, "If the master doesn't say it, how can I understand it?"

The voice was very small, but it couldn't hide from Chen Mo's ears, but Chen Mo just pretended not to hear it. His thoughts at this moment seemed a bit wild, and he still needed to carefully speculate and perfect. If he wanted to understand, he had to have some talent at least. Juan'er was obviously not suitable.

This is no longer Chongwen Street. Chen Mo doesn't know which street it is. He has seen the map of Luoyang, but some small streets and alleys are not marked. However, the Luo River is drawn here, and there are green willows along the bank, and there are relatively few pedestrians.

The reason for coming here is that Chen Mo recently discovered a new way to use his luck. It seems that every decision he makes will determine the slight fluctuation of his luck. For example, if he chooses to walk on Chongwen Street, there will be no fluctuation, but if he decides to go to Zhuque Street, his luck will increase or decrease by one or two points, but the fluctuation is not large. However, when he decided to come here, he found that his luck suddenly fluctuated a little more, up by a full five points.

There will be good things happening, but these luck cannot be used. After good things happen, they will be dispersed, or consumed by the good things that happened. In the past two days, he occasionally picked up money or bumped into an acquaintance, which was the result of following this luck. Maybe his previous use was too conservative? Will the system fairy blame him for abusing it?

Chen Mo thought about these things interestingly in his heart, but his steps continued to move forward.
