How much is the gold grains piled up from the bamboo forest every night?

It's about bigger bookshelves and bigger mansions in bigger cities, and more than that. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nara's Heijokyo is built in imitation of Chang'an Castle of the Tang Dynasty, divided into four gates: green dragon, white tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu, and there are avenues connecting every four towns in the city, which is like a Go chessboard-like layout.

Since the beginning of spring, people have become busy, whether it is an unnamed village on the mountain or Heijojing.

It was about half a day's walk from the village to Pingchengjing, and Mo Ming, who had made three or two round-trips in winter, had already taken care of everything and moved to the city after the beginning of spring.

Mo Ming and Kaguya are not simple people, and they don't need to think about money, so the more comfortable they are as if they were planning to live for a long time.

In the new mansion, there were ponds, gardens, pavilions, and pavilions, and two maidservants were hired to clean such a large courtyard.

As for daily life, Mo Ming doesn't need to be taken care of, and Kaguya can also take care of herself. Compared with the popular diets, Mo Ming prefers to cook by himself, whether it is a dish made with low-temperature oil or a tea with a lot of spices, it is not to his taste. As for the fact that the master cooks himself, Kaguya is also very much in favor of it.

Mo Ming often had to go out to be busy with the temple to borrow and study, so during the period of time when he had just moved in, he couldn't see anyone in the huge mansion.

It is only occasionally a very boring night when I will go to the pavilion by the pond with a book to read for a while.

From time to time, I saw a lonely person, ethereal and lonely. Maybe that's the scenario.

Things didn't go well with temple borrowing.

As long as the residents of Pingchengjing can afford to pay, they can entrust their children to go to the temple to study, and Mo Ming can be regarded as having a household registration in Pingchengjing when he bought the mansion. The problem is that it is not Kaguya who are going to study, but the children in the village who have been entrusted by the old man to go to school.

Before leaving the village, there were only about seven or eight families in the village where the elders were willing to contribute and let their children come to study, and Mo Ming promised them that there would be results before the end of spring. But after all, things can't be as expected, and I came to three or four temples in half a month, and they all said that they would not accept foreign day students. After all, there are many children of dignitaries in the temple, and high-ranking officials will not want their children to eat and study with the children of the village husbands.

Of course, things have taken a turn for the better.

If it is a person who is in the court, the temple usually has a more lenient restriction. In the past two days, Mo Ming has been studying at home the decree on saving money and announcing the throne not long ago, and this kind of decree legalizing the sale of official positions has become a breakthrough. When Mo Ming cut down bamboo, it can be said that he is making money every day, and he is not short of money. If you can donate an official at this time, maybe the follow-up will be much easier.

As he thought so, the door to the mansion was kicked open.

The courtyard is too big to have this point of disadvantage, the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the door is not heard in the mansion at all.

The maidservant was intimidated by its momentum and did not dare to move, so the woman who kicked the door walked in.

……

……

In the study, Mo Ming was bitterly persuading Hui Ye to go out and walk around occasionally, while the girl on the side took a casual attitude of ignoring as usual and leisurely flipped through the bamboo slips.

"Everybody likes to be quiet, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"But you've done a bit of that, haven't you? ”

"Well, after all, humans are social animals, so when you come to a big city, you should go out and feel the lively atmosphere. "It's no wonder Kaguya looks down on President Mo, his words and deeds do make him look like a hillbilly from time to time.

"You sit still all day, be careful of moldy body......"

"Snap" closed the book, and Kaguya looked at Mo Ming expressionlessly.

Mo Ming was startled, felt a little embarrassed, and quickly coughed dryly: "Uh, what's that...... It's not reluctant, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to go......"

Speaking of which, the girl is still making trouble because of something a while ago.

Because he didn't listen to advice, he went to provoke a certain big monster, and even entertained the big monster to his home.

Mo Ming's bloodied push through the door startled Kaguya, and his face became gloomy when he saw the green-haired youkai following him.

After listening to the explanation, he didn't look relieved, and he ignored Mo Ming's confession.

Although he was still under Mo Ming's daily care, and his itinerary and daily life were also arranged, the dialogue between words became stronger.

After all, Mo Ming is not a macho character, and he doesn't care much about it. Who knew that after coming and going, the girl seemed to like this feeling of snorting and drinking Mo Ming, and it seemed that she was not going to forgive him in a short time.

"It's not that you can't go out, it's okay in the mountains and wilderness at the beginning, what is there to visit in this market?" Kaguya said coldly, "What's more, you also know that your private appearance ......"

"Although it's reasonable, but such a serious talk about his appearance ......" Mo Ming scratched his head, "Okay, I admit it, Kaguya you do look unmatched, but Heijokyo is a big city after all, and people who want to come here should be a little reserved......"

Seeing Mo Ming's subtle expression on her face, Kaguya tilted her head.

She decided to tell her father the truth if her fears were fake.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

……

……

Mo Ming was stunned and looked at the green-haired woman who pushed the door in.

"Why are you here?"

"What, I'm not welcome?"

"No, I mean," Mo Ming frowned, "This is Pingcheng Jing, where demon slayers gather, and it's at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is it okay for you to appear here as a big monster?"

The woman laughed.

"What's the problem, and even if they knew, what would they do to me?"

"No...... I mean," Mo Ming said, "They can't do anything to you, but they can take me under the knife!

"Did you make a mistake?" Kazami Yuka looked puzzled, "What does your life or death have to do with me?"

Mo Ming was speechless.

"Ah, by the way, your manuscript is indeed very detailed, and I have already seen it. ”

"Congratulations, congratulations. Mo Ming smiled bitterly.

"So, in a few days, when the research is done, I may be leaving this world. ”

"Ah...... Congratulations," Mo Ming sighed, "this sentence is given to all the people of Nara. ”

"After thinking about it, I want to leave this world, but it seems that there is no one to say goodbye to, so I will come here to find you. ”

"Let me summarize, you thought of me because you wanted to find someone to say goodbye, and no one chose me, as for whether it will cause me trouble, it has nothing to do with you?"

The big monster tilted his head and thought, "That's pretty much it. ”

Mo Ming sighed: "There are always people who say that the big monsters have a wrong view, but I can be regarded as knowledgeable." ”

"It's because you humans always use your own theories to measure youkai to come to this conclusion,......" Kazami Yuka glanced at Kaguya, who was sitting at her desk.

Kaguya didn't look up after the big monster entered the door.

The girl dragged her cheeks on the table with a pestle in one hand, and looked impatiently through the books on the table, as if she was not even interested in raising her eyelids.

Following the sight of the big monster, Mo Ming also glanced at Kaguya.

"What's going on?"

"I entrusted a friend to inquire, and I know something. ”

"You're a ...... Have friends too?" Mo Ming wondered.

"Want to die?"

"Ahem, just kidding, don't be so serious," Mo Ming Zhengse, "Anyway, this matter...... Let's talk about it later. ”

"Well, that's it. ”

……

……

The big monster walked softly, just as she ......

Who should I contact for reimbursement for the repair cost of the gate?

It's not something to worry about.

In the study, after the big monster left about half a pillar of incense, Mo Ming cautiously asked, "Are you hungry?"

Didn't get an answer.

Mo Ming was about to get up, and the girl finally raised her head and glanced at it.

"What did you say after that?"

"Huh, that ......" Mo Ming scratched her head, "some little things......"

"What little thing is inconvenient to mention in a private presence?"

He didn't answer until dinner.

Kaguya excused herself for not having an appetite, so she went into the room and didn't come out.

Mo Ming finished eating alone and washed the dishes and chopsticks.

In the evening, there was a knock on Kaguya's door.

Without waiting for an answer, he pushed the door open with a few rolls of cloth and entered.

Kaguya leaned on the edge of the bed, flipping through the book in his hand by the light. Seeing Mo Ming come in, he only glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.

Mo Ming didn't say hello, just sat on the ground and spread the cloth there.

"I went back to the village to discuss my studies, and I went to the bamboo forest to see it. ”

"There is no longer gold in the cut bamboo, but these silk satin ......"

"I inquired with the foot merchants, this kind of cloth seems to be the best goods in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no price here. ”

"I didn't believe in any ghosts...... But it really amazes me to come into this world. ”

"But even so, I believe that there is a reason for what happens. ”

"If the previous incident of finding gold in a bamboo tube was an adventure, then this time I found this colorful silk and satin, it makes people feel like ......"

"In general, it is specially designed for the eldest lady of a certain family who has fallen into the mortal dust. ”

After a few breaths of silence, Kaguya put down the book and sighed.

"So, whether it's gold or silver, or silk, do you suspect that these are selfish handiwork?"

Mo Ming shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. ”

"A few months ago, you were about half as tall as you are now. ”

"I taught you something at that time, but it was only rudimentary. ”

"Later, you grew up quickly, both in knowledge and temperament. ”

"I don't know if you know that...... Human beings have to marry their spouses in order to have children. ”

Kaguya tilted her head, as if asking—what do you want to express?"

"I mean......" Although it was a little embarrassing, but in the end I had to bring up the question, "Don't you think it's strange that I am not married, but I have a daughter of yours?"

"Is there anything that makes me feel weird?"

Mo Ming was speechless.

Generally speaking, children will always pull their parents to ask their parents where I am from? As for Mo Ming, who has lived in an orphanage since she was a child, she pulled the nurse of the orphanage to ask similar questions.

As a parent, some will say that you were picked up from the trash by me. Of course, the nurse aunt of the orphanage would not answer such a cruel and true answer, but as for Mo Ming herself...... If Kaguya asked, he would probably reply, "You were the ...... I picked up from the bamboo hollow"

However, in the more than a year of getting along, Kaguya himself has not asked similar questions.

But just because a question isn't asked doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Where Kaguya came from and what kind of identity it is is always a question that needs to be clarified.

After listening to her unconscious rhetorical question, Mo Ming finally understood that she either didn't care about Kaguya's identity at all, or she already knew it.

There had been some verbal temptations before, when the girl said that her memory was confused, Mo Ming didn't mention it again. It's just that I met a well-informed big monster later.,So I inquired by the way.。

Who knew that the big monster didn't understand people's hearts, and today he brought up this matter in front of the girl.

Only then did this unavoidable showdown.

Finally, Kaguya laughed.

It's just that there is something else in the smile.

"Where does the private come from, and what kind of identity is so important to you? Since you went to inquire about the big monster, you regarded me as her kind? So, since you admit that you are a monster, what are you going to do? Do you want to drive the private out of here?"

"What are you kidding?!"

"One yard to one yard," Mo Ming said with a serious expression, looking at Hui Ye's eyes, "If it's an idler on the side of the road, I'm not interested even if the three heads and six arms can soar through the clouds." ”

"But this girl named Kaguya is different, since she is my family, I have to find out who she is in order to avoid a tragic emergency. ”

"If you are a reclusive immortal and want to lose your reputation, I will be a low-key person so that my name will not be passed on to the world, if you are a man-eating monster, I need to prepare a lot of raw meat and confuse the eyes and ears of the world, and even make a plan to beware of demon exterminators, and once discovered, I must quickly leave incognito......"

"It's all out of your family's sake, not what you say you ......"

"Is it a youkai that I'm going to be driven out of the door, and that's what I did in your eyes?"

"Why did I bring Kazami Yuka back to Takeju? Is it because I don't care about my own safety in the slightest? Or do I not care about your safety?"

"A hint that couldn't be more obvious!"

"I can be friends with a big youkai who kills people without blinking, do I still care if my cute child is an ordinary youkai?"

"On weekdays, he seems to be knowledgeable, but at critical moments, he is blinded by emotion and rationality, and he still says that kind of thing?!"

Mo Ming is not an easily angry character, but she is not unangry.

Mo Ming, who was going to inquire honestly, suddenly felt a little angry when she heard the girl's words.

At this moment, he was aggressive, so that Kaguya, who was still looking at Mo Ming at the beginning, looked away halfway and turned his head.

Perhaps intimidated by Mo Ming's expression, or touched by the words, Kaguya did not answer immediately.

Both sides were silent.

After a while, Kaguya got up.

Kneeling opposite Mo Ming, he sorted out the silk spread out on the ground.

"Private is neither a heavenly immortal, no need to be incognito, nor a man-eating monster, and will not provoke any demon exterminator......"

"Private is just ...... Coveting the ...... of human emotions The one who carries the sin. ”

"Why did you commit the crime?Who convicted the crime?," Mo Ming asked a series of questions.

Kaguya was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Saying these things will not help you, and it will not solve any problems." ”

Mo Ming frowned: "Don't underestimate me, the method is always figured out." ”

"The problem is that there is no difficulty, the punishment of private is here, it is a punishment for them, and it is ...... for private" Hui Ye looked at Mo Ming, "You can also hear clearly, this world is a place of misery for private reasons. ”

"But because you are here, in your private interest it is not a sin, but the opposite. ”

"The previous thing was that I was too paranoid and blind. ”

"However, since you are a selfish elder and selfish, you should be more responsible. Kaguya smiled again, this time with some ill-intentioned looks.

The girl who was sitting suddenly bowed down, put her fingers together, and put her head on the ground.

"The little girl is not talented, please give me a lot of advice in this life. ”

……

……

Until the end, Mo Ming didn't ask Qing Huiye who they were. But since you say you're not a monster, you don't have to worry too much about provoking right and wrong.

Of course, this is just Mo Ming's own opinion.

The next day, Kaguya sorted out the instrument and went out for a walk.

Then, Mo Ming finally understood the reason why she never went out.

In other words, he underestimated the customs of the entire scholar class in this era of fair ladies and gentlemen.
