Rebel Demon King

Chapter 16
When Cheng Mo followed Xie Minyun into the living room, he first passed a wine-red, antique wooden grille-style screen with a bright and elegant landscape painting in the middle. The meaning of noble and pure arises spontaneously.

With Xie Minyun on the side, it is really a full of beauty, as long as it is a person, it may be unavoidable to sigh that the world is stunning.

However, Cheng Mo didn't pay much attention to Xie Minyun who handed the slippers to him. He looked at the landscape painting more often. The red seal was signed by Wu Shankai. Cheng Mo didn't know much about contemporary Chinese painting masters, but from the point of view of brushwork, it was very "white paper." The arbitrary swaying of "Qingtian" makes people feel as if they are in the middle, and if he can draw this kind of artistic conception, he is of course a master.

The name of the painting is "Taiyi Near the Capital of Heaven". The so-called "Taiyi" is the Taoist "Dao", which reminds Cheng Mo of his class teacher Shen Youyi.

When a literate person chooses a name, he does not deliberately pursue uncommonness, as the so-called gentleman is not a weapon.Names do not express specific expectations, and there is no clear ambition, especially for children of Kochi.

Xie Minyun and Shen Youyi use empty words more often than real ones. They look neutral, like many popular names, such as Congwen, Ziqing, and Moruo. They are all unisex names for both men and women.

Just as the most beautiful monsters in ancient Greek and Roman mythology are all male and female, a neutral and meaningful name is a good name for literati.

And most of the parents of Niu B have the feeling that "I was mistaken for my life by being smart", so "I wish the child was stupid and reckless", such as Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao's daughter called Wu Qing, Nie Rongzhen's daughter called Nie Li, both are Concise and atmospheric words.

Of course, there is another example that must be cited, that is, Cheng Yongze's child is called Cheng Mo.

In general, it is unreliable to judge whether a family has money or money from a name, and there is evidence to judge the cultural level of a family.

It is self-evident that the names are "Zhaodi", "Pandi", and "Prosperous Cai", and the ethereal words such as "Yue, Meng, Shi, Yi, Yu, Jun, Bin, Yun, Xiang" appear in the name, and many They are all well-off or middle-class families, and they often place high expectations on their children.

Xie Minyun saw Cheng Mo staring at the landscape painting in a daze, without even taking the slippers, she frowned and sneered a little. She thought that it was normal for Cheng Mo to stare at her in a daze at this age, while watching Master Wu's "Taiyi Near the Sky" Du" is in a daze, that's just pretending.
Xie Minyun has seen too many people who put on a pose, and everyone thinks that they are only high-level, and they like to use their accents to get her attention. I didn't expect this child in front of me to be able to act at such a young age, so she said a little coldly: "slippers!"

Cheng Mo shook off his inexplicable associations, then turned his head and whispered, "Thank you!" Then he bent down to change his shoes, and put his shoes neatly aside before following Xie Minyun in, but it was a pity Xie Minyun turned around very early and didn't see this detailed action, otherwise his sense of Cheng Mo would have been better.

Entering the living room, it is also a typical Chinese-style decoration, but it is not like most rich people's living rooms are filled with antique calligraphy and paintings, which looks very simple and spacious. The sofa is not a high-end wood sofa among red sandalwood and huanghuali, but beige There is a soft sofa made of cotton and linen, and there are no paintings in the living room, only a family photo is hung opposite the sofa.

But this living room is beautiful, mainly because when you come in, your sight will be attracted by the courtyard outside a few glass doors on the opposite side.

Under the gray eaves, the eyes are full of blue sky, and a laurel tree is surrounded by a white fence.

At this moment, the gray-haired Wang Shanhai is sitting on the sofa. On the coffee table is a light-yellow Torreya wood chessboard. The black and white chess pieces are scattered among them, and the sunlight and the shadows in the living room make up a pair that looks faded. Old picture.

A black cat walked gently in the wooden corridor outside the glass door, and Xie Minyun stood in a pavilion in the living room, adding elegance and emptiness to the originally lonely and desolate picture.

In this harmonious picture, only Cheng Mo is a bit redundant.

Cheng Mo stood in front of the sofa and bowed slightly to Wang Shanhai: "Hello, Grandpa Dean!"

Wang Shanhai's forehead lines are very heavy, and he has a red rosacea, but his whole person has a kind of Confucianism as a teacher. He is wearing a bright white silk gown for Tai Chi, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, looking up at Cheng Mo Dao. : "Yo! Cheng Mo, I really didn't expect you to come here. You are a rare visitor. It turns out that you came a lot when you were young, but you don't come when you grow up!"

Cheng Mo said: "It's not that I can't come when I grow up, it's because I moved."

Wang Shanhai smiled "haha" and said, "It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as the conclusion is right, your father and I are good friends. Now that he's gone, if you have any business, feel free to come to me."

Cheng Mo still knew that his father was blessed by Wang Shanhai in the Academy of Social Sciences, but he didn't think he should have respect for Wang Shanhai. They all went to the drill camp, and as an academic-oriented unit, it was completely abolished.

So Cheng Mo said without hesitation: "There is something I want to ask you for a favor here."

Wang Shanhai smiled and said: "No hurry, no hurry, wait until I finish this game of chess, and it will be dinner soon, we will talk about it after dinner"

Xie Minyun, who was already sitting on the gray round mat, looked at the chessboard angrily and said, "Grandpa, you are too much! Why are my sons in the upper right corner missing? I cut it off."

Wang Shanhai looked at his granddaughter with a rogue face and said, "How can something about a scholar be called stealing? It's called elegance. You're saying that I'm an old man with dim eyes. Isn't it normal for you to give in?"

Xie Minyun said, "I've already let you go first, and I've let you have two sons, and you're still playing a rogue."

Wang Shanhai waved his hand very aggressively and said, "Okay, okay, forget it this time, I won't take your son next time."

Seeing what Grandpa said seemed to be that he let him go, Xie Minyun was very speechless, and said with a stern face: "No next time!"

But Wang Shanhai "hehe" smiled and beckoned to Chengmo: "Come here, Chengmo, I'll leave it to you."

Cheng Mo lowered his head and glanced at the pieces on the Torreya chessboard. The black piece's style of chess should be extremely sweeping and penetrating, while the white piece is obviously good at pursuing the rhythm of Shiriga's positional warfare.

Generally, those who are good at playing positional warfare have excellent computing power, which also means that they will be rock solid in the preamble, and then slowly consume their opponents in the subsequent contact battles to gain the upper hand.

At this time, Black Fang Dalong was no longer saved. Even if he lost the three or three sons on the right, he was just lingering. It was only a matter of time before Dalong was eaten. Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know how to play Go."

It is impolite to say that there is no saving and rejecting the elders. Cheng Mo can only say that he will not go down.

Wang Shanhai said strangely: "Hey, I remember you liked watching me and your dad play chess when you were young? How could you not?"

Cheng Mo said calmly: "What can I understand when I was a child, it's just boring and blind reading."

Seeing that Chengmo was still standing, Wang Shanhai said, "Oh, you sit, what are you doing standing there. Come and sit as you please?" Then he turned to Xie Minyun and said, "Xiao Jin, go and pour a cup of tea with Cheng Mo."

Xie Minyun's nickname is Xiaojin, which is easy to hear as Xiaojing, but it is actually Xiaojin, which means that only a little progress in life is enough.

But Xie Minyun said: "This trick is coming again, I'm not going, I'm going, I can't guarantee you won't steal my chess pieces again"

Wang Shanhai raised his hands and said, "I promise not to steal."

Xie Minyun folded his arms around his chest, his posture was plump, graceful and graceful, but what he said was not polite at all, "Go and go by yourself."

Cheng Mo took the opportunity and said, "Grandpa Dean, it's really unnecessary to drink tea or eat. I just have something I want to ask you."

"What is the name of the dean, Grandpa, Hai Daddy?" The people of Xingcheng call their grandfather Daddy, but it is pronounced "嗲嗲" and grandma is "娭寑", which also refers to all elderly people.

Cheng Mo said helplessly, "Hai 嗲 嗲." Just as he was about to say that he hoped Wang Shanhai would help contact Li Jiting, the nanny who happened to be wearing an apron came out and said, "President Wang, the food is ready, it's time to eat."

Wang Shanhai was relieved, smiled and said with a wrinkled chess piece on the chessboard: "Eat, eat, talk while eating"

At this moment, Cheng Mo saw a sharp murderous aura rising from Xie Minyun's body.
