Chapter 29: Authority
Mu Qing, who was defined as a fan of wealth, did not show any anger, but nodded thoughtfully, and instructed: "Happy is happy, but it is better to take the silver ticket in the future." โ
Deng Yuanshan had the illusion of punching the cotton, so he ate by himself and ignored him.
After eating, Annu went to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, while Mu Qing brought two cups of tea for himself and Deng Yuanshan, and the two sat on both sides of the table. Mu Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip, swallowed the shallow tea soup slowly, and then said ruthlessly in his heart, he must buy some expensive and good tea cakes tomorrow.
Deng Yuanshan picked up the teacup and just touched his lips and put it down, looked at Mu Qing and said with a smile: "This book is selling well, I don't know what new works Mu Xiaogongzi will have in the future?" โ
"I didn't write it, it's a friend of mine." Mu Qing corrected it very strictly.
Deng Yuanshan has his own ideas in his heart, this novel is a small way after all, and he can't wait for the hall of elegance, the concerns in Mu Qing's heart Deng Yuanshan knew it clearly, and he only laughed when he heard this.
Mu Qing didn't make much excuses, but said: "Not recently, it's still important to study." โ
Not long after the county test, it was the government test, and it was only a month before and after, so it was naturally important to have a future compared to money.
"Still, it's okay to write some short stories."
As soon as these words came out, Deng Yuanshan's eyes immediately lit up. He was a good merchant, and although he loved to read books, the most important thing was always silver.
"Then I'm looking forward to the new book." When it came to business, Deng Yuanshan's smile was a little bigger.
Mu Qing smiled, then nodded.
Although the county exam has just passed, it is obvious that it is not difficult to take the test according to the questions, and if there are no accidents, there should be no problem with the pass. The next government test will not be so simple, and Mu Qing needs to deal with it well.
There may be some friendship between him and Deng Yuanshan, but it is based on interests. Mu Qing attaches great importance to the resources in Deng Yuanshan's hands, such as books, such as engraving, and such as Di Bao. Consolidating this relationship is crucial for Mu Qing now.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to write a long story again, so it's better to write a short story.
As for what to write, Mu Qing also has some plans in his heart, but he still needs to think about it slowly.
The matter was negotiated, and Deng Yuanshan's expression was much more relaxed. smiled and took out a red envelope from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Mu Qing. Mu Qing blinked, what are you doing with him in red envelopes?
"There are all those who go home for the exam, which is auspicious." Deng Yuanshan explained to him with a smile, it seems that the little boy in front of him knows a lot of things, but he is always half a beat slower than others in these common sense etiquette.
Since you are a talent, there will be a difference. Deng Yuanshan naturally made excuses for Mu Qing.
Mu Qing picked up the red envelope and pinched it slightly, it was a real small silver ingot.
Kicking into his arms, he saw Deng Yuanshan smile and said, "I wish Little Master Mu a smooth scientific expedition." โ
"Lend you good words."
========================================================================
When Annu returned to the house, Deng Yuanshan was gone, and Mu Qing was still sitting there holding a tea cup, not knowing what he was thinking.
"When did Mr. Deng leave?" Annu washed her hands and walked behind Mu Qing to help him press his shoulders.
Mu Qing exhaled and said lightly, "It didn't take long." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Annu's face, "Why have you been here for so long?" โ
Annu looked at Mu Qing's dark eyes, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "I'm going to see the excitement, Hou San, it's the officer who provoked his master this morning, and he was jointly sued in court." I heard that he was very angry, and gave him a big board. โ
Mu Qing was not surprised at all, most of the current errand servants were looking for those evil voices and evil spirits, in order to shock people, but most of such people were arrogant, there were many people who bullied, and there were many people who offended. Now that he is down, those sufferers will naturally come to the door.
Beating the water dogs, the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, this has been the case since ancient times.
However, Mu Qing did not feel happy because of Hou San's down-and-out wolf bรจi, but silently raised the teacup and sipped it shallowly, covering his expression.
In the original work, Li Qianyu took the inner court almost bloodlessly, killed the emperor, and executed all the mansions of the eldest prince, and then ruled with an iron fist for decades. Mu Qing boarded his boat for himself, but Mu Qing didn't know that he was thrown down before the boat landed.
Official position, position of power.
Some people can determine life and death in one sentence, and some people have to live like a mustard for a lifetime.
In today's farce outside the examination room, the reason why Mu Qing won was not because he took the reason, but because Governor Dong felt that he took the reason. Governor Dong believed him, so he could speak righteously and even kick people, but if Governor Dong didn't believe him, he would be unlucky and unlucky!
Mu Qing suddenly realized that some things were not something that he could control if he wanted to.
There is no way to live, he can walk, and he is still alive and well after leaving the Mu family. There was no money to be made, and he thought he couldn't starve himself.
But even so, when he faced an ordinary errand officer, he had no choice but to use his strength.
If you don't have rights, you can only be at the mercy of others, let you live and die.
Mu Qing's eyes darkened, his hand was gently lowered, and he slowly brushed the teacup.
"Master, but it hurts?" Seeing that Mu Qing had not spoken, Annu was a little worried, and then stopped and asked.
Mu Qing shook his head, turned his head, and pulled away a smile: "No matter what you do, it's me who is so tired." โ
"Then I'll go and boil hot water for my master, and soak my feet to relieve my fatigue."
"Send me the letter first."
Annu looked up and saw the thick envelope lying on the desk. glanced at the cover, it was Yongzhou Li Mansion.
It has always been the "Li Gongzi" I saw a few days ago. Annu put the letter in his sleeve, left the room, and closed the door intimately, Mu Qing exhaled softly, relaxed the strength of his body, and the whole person was attached to the back of the chair.
Stretching out his hand, Mu Qing stared.
This hand is very small, after all, he is just a teenager, but Mu Qing still remembers the feeling of grabbing the inkstone with this hand and smashing it out for a moment today.
Staring, looking, then slowly tightening his fingers.
Annu didn't meet anyone along the way, it was already night, and today was the day of the county exam. According to the rules of the Guizhou government, no noise is allowed for three days before and after the scientific expedition, so those vendors did not go out, only the shops on both sides of the street were still open, but there was no one to see.
The post station is not far away, and Annu only walked about half a pillar of incense before it arrived. Throwing the letter into the leather bag that had always been inside, Annu turned and left. Unbeknownst to him, not long after he left, someone entered the post station, quietly took out the letter, and disappeared neatly into the night.
