After the play ended, Mu Qing opened the curtain and saw Annu lying on the railing looking down, with a shallow and faint emotion on his palm-sized face, sometimes resentful, sometimes nostalgic, it seemed that all the feelings were drawn with the play, and there was no turning back.

Mu Qing stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Even if it's scattered, don't look at it again." ”

Annu blinked, restrained the outgoing feelings, and saw that Mu Qing and Deng Yuanshan were waiting for him, smiled a little embarrassedly, packed up his things and followed behind Mu Qing.

Deng Yuanshan thought that Mu Qing had just come back and was going to the restaurant to help him pick up the wind and wash the dust, but Mu Qing insisted on going to the library.

Wenqing Daily is his most important resource now, and Mu Qing ranks it first.

Deng Yuanshan's library was still in that alley, and two big locust trees blocked the door of the library. pushed the door in, but the qiē in front of him had a different feeling.

The library has been expanded several times, and I think it was because it bought the places on both sides, opened up the courtyard walls, and renovated it. In front of the courtyard was a very large case, on which the freshly printed newspaper was dried, and when I walked into the house, there were more than a dozen people who were nervously busy. Mu Qing looked left and right, most of them were copying, screening and proofreading, and there was a case facing the door, where there was a young man with a cyan scarf, who looked elegant, and when he saw them enter the door, he got up and greeted them.

"This is Mr. Meng Xingmeng, and now he is in charge of the library." Deng Yuanshan smiled and introduced, "Mr. Meng, this is Mu Qing, I told you before." ”

A trace of surprise flashed on Meng Xing's face when he heard this, and then he gave a salute, Mu Qing hurriedly returned the salute, and then heard Meng Xing say: "I was originally just a little guy who took care of books in the library, and I did my best to appreciate the treasurer, and I didn't deserve the word sir." His voice had a taste of unhurriedness, his gestures were bookish, and there was a smile on his face, "It's Mu Xianggong, I've heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't think that you were so young, and you are really a young talent." ”

Mu Qing has been praised a lot, and sometimes he has immunity after listening too much. He exchanged pleasantries with Meng Xing for a while, and then went into the backyard of the library together.

There is a wing room in the backyard, which is mostly filled with manuscripts from those literati.

Deng Yuanshan only took Mu Qing in, although Deng Yuanshan personally trusted Meng Xing, but obviously Mu Qing was not a light person who believed in others. thought that he would let Annu come in with him, but Mu Qing let Annu stay outside.

"I thought you believed in him." Deng Yuanshan came to the door, and then turned his head to Mu Qing and said.

"Sometimes proper concealment is a form of protection, and I do it to him, and he does it to me." Mu Qing responded lightly, "I have been out in the past few years, and I have been to a lot of places, and Annu has followed me without the slightest resentment, and he thinks about me everywhere, he is very good to me." But there are some things that you can't just let him know, he is timid, and if he is frightened, it is not good. Then, without waiting for Deng Yuanshan to say anything, he turned around and walked into the tall pile of manuscript papers.

These letters have been carefully organized, and it is clear which side is written by everyone and which side is criticized. But Rao was like this, and Mu Qing watched it for an afternoon before he roughly figured out the idea, and when he came out of which room, it was already sunset. Deng Yuanshan has been helping, tired and his back hurts, but Mu Qing is frowning with a few letters, and after walking out of the door, he saw Meng Xing and An Nu waiting not far away.

Annu trotted over and handed over a glass of water, he was always attentive. Mu Qing smiled, took a sip and drank it all, and after handing the cup back, he walked towards Meng Xing.

"Are you responsible for the first qiē of Wenqing Daily?" Mu Qing looked at this man who was about the same height as himself, and smiled lightly.

Meng Xing nodded.

Mu Qing pursed his lips, then handed over a handwritten manuscript, and said lightly: "I need you to make a supplement by tomorrow morning, with a first printing of 5,000 copies." ”

This is an absolutely demanding condition, and with the current printing technology, the characters and characters have to be retypeset, and it will take no more than six hours to fill the print tomorrow morning, which means that almost the entire library and the printing workers will have to work all night.

But Meng Xing didn't hesitate, took the manuscript and said without looking at it: "I am willing to serve." ”

The word service is tantamount to writing the word handover on his face, and this person has a frank expression, obviously very willingly.

Mu Qing smiled: "I'm tired of you." ”

Meng Xing nodded, turned around and walked quickly to the front yard.

Mu Qing exhaled and sat sideways on a chair in the hallway, Annu came behind him to help him press his shoulder, and Mu Qing exhaled. Feeling a little soothed, he patted Annu: "Okay, I'm afraid I can't leave tonight, you go back to our previous yard to clean up first, and we'll move back tomorrow." ”

Anu nodded, got up and left.

Deng Yuanshan, who had been sitting on the side watching them, was very blushing, and only said to Mu Qing after Annu walked away: "I really don't know where you found such a well-behaved person, does he have any sisters or something?" If so, you can ask me for a recommendation or two. ”

Mu Qing laughed when he heard it: "My family is just such a person in the world, it's good that you break your thoughts." But where did you get so many people? Last time, Du Luo was already surprising, and this Meng Xing was not a thing in the pool. ”

Deng Yuanshan pursed his lips when he heard this, and then said: "This Meng Xing was originally a slave of the Deng family, and he was arranged by my side when I was in the Deng family, and he was brought out to follow me when I went back five years ago, and he got rid of his nationality a while ago." ”

Mu Qing was surprised, he had been in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time, and some things were naturally clear. Those who are slaves and maids are slaves and maids for life, and their descendants will also be born into lowly nationality, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is extremely strict with the division of ranks. If you want to get rid of the lowly status, there are two ways, one is to buy his master and destroy his deed of sale by himself, like Annu, but the other is to be a slave with outstanding literary talents, and the master is the guarantee, and the child can only get out of the country through the guò child test.

In fact, the decision of these two methods is in the hands of the master, so there are very few people who can get out of the country.

The Great Zhou Dynasty abolished the imperial examination of the year due to famine, and then, the queen mother and the eldest prince died one after another, and the emperor mourned, and announced to the world that the queen mother had been filial piety for three years, and the scientific examination was delayed again and again, and it was not resumed until last year.

"How is Meng Xing's performance?" Mu Qing asked.

Deng Yuanshan has a smile line at the moment: "He has been smart and intelligent since he was a child, although this time he is not as good as you everywhere, but his results are also very good." ”

Mu Qing smiled and congratulated one or two, and sighed in his heart, the ability of the family should not be underestimated, although Deng Yuanshan is only a side branch of the family, the resources in his hands are thousands of times stronger than him.

Fortunately, I have this ally, and I am afraid that it will be much easier to act in the future.

===================================================================================

As the largest newspaper in Guizhou, Wenqing Bao has always maintained the tradition of one newspaper a day, never interrupted, and never published too much.

But today, in addition to the newspapers and periodicals that are usually distributed in the morning, there is another additional issue that cannot be counted as a follow-up, which is said to be written by Mu Qing, who has not been seen for a long time.

Most of the people in Guizhou Mansion have lived here for a long time, and they have a vague impression of the name Mu Qing but can't remember it clearly, but if you mention "Little Sanyuan" and "Worry about the world first", you can immediately reflect such a person.

It's that little genius.

Many people went to buy additional periodicals, but what is surprising is that in the past, those who read and read would always find a place to read and read for the illiterate villagers after buying the newspaper, but this time, after reading them one by one, they hurriedly put them in their arms, ran home, and worked hard behind closed doors.

The crowd was puzzled, and even more curious, and thousands of newspapers were snatched up.

Anu also bought one, trotted home, and when he entered the door, he saw Mu Qing already sitting in the yard, holding a straw and teasing the sparrows on the ground. Those finches didn't seem to be very afraid of people, jumping around to catch the tips of the straw, and Mu Qing was happy squatting there to play with them.

"Master, it's here!" Annu wiped her sweat and happily handed over the newspaper.

Mu Qing lost the straw and scared away the finches who played with him. He stood up, took the newspaper, then took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Annu: "I just asked you to go and see the situation, where did you buy it." ”

Annu smiled, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and her pretty face was red: "I heard them say that it was written by the master, so I thought I would buy a copy and come back and see for myself." ”

Mu Qing couldn't take him, shook his head with a smile, pulled him to sit down and asked, "What is the reaction of those scholars?" Is there any scolding? ”

"No, they are all like hidden treasures, and they don't want others to see them."

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, this result is not bad.

What he made out was nothing more than an extended version of the call for papers, listing two articles, one was an article by Li Miao, a master of Yongzhou calligraphy, focusing on severely criticizing the deviation from history of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the other was an article by Du Luo, a close disciple of Liu Shiren, a scholar of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, which was intended to defend the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Both articles are full of flowers, gorgeous rhetoric, and every sentence goes straight to the core, which is an excellent article.

Li Miao naturally has many years of cultural accumulation, and her words and sentences are all good, but Du Luo's article was Mu Qing who invited Li Qianyu and asked Liu Shiren to write an article. This article was prepared by Mu Qing in advance, and he was waiting to be released at the right time. Because Liu Shiren was unwilling to get involved in these things, he pretended to use Duro's name.

Mu Qing was happy to see this, he looked at Annu and said, "Wait, in less than three days, Duro's name will resound all over the country." ”

Anu blinked: "Why?" ”

"It's called the celebrity effect. Needless to say, Li Miao's calligraphy is excellent, and the article is also extremely beautiful, the emperor has praised it, and if he can be with such a person, others must look up to Du Luo. Mu Qing nodded on the table, "What's more, Lord Liu's article is not much better than Li Miao's, and Du Luo is going to be popular this time." ”

"The master seems to be happy to see Du Gongzi famous." Annu poured a cup of tea.

Mu Qing smiled: "That's nature. The stronger the friend, the smoother the road in the future, and the convenience of others and oneself, and the more people like Douro who have extremely high requirements for their own character, the more favors they owe me, the better it will be for me. ”

The yard has not been inhabited for a long time, although Annu has cleaned up for a while, but the house is still not very clean, Mu Qing and Annu have been busy all day long, until nightfall can be regarded as a good tidying up.

hugged the newly dried brocade quilt during the day into the house, Mu Qing threw his whole person into the quilt, and the snow-white brocade quilt still smelled of the sun, which made Mu Qing squint his eyes comfortably.

Annu was cooking porridge in the kitchen, Mu Qing saw that it was still early, and wanted to take out the chessboard again, but suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the yard.

Mu Qing was startled, jumped out of bed, put on his shoes and ran out of the door.

I took a lantern and went to look at it, but before I could see anything, I smelled the pungent smell of blood. Mu Qing frowned, looked back at the kitchen, and thought that Da Annu didn't hear the movement inside. He picked up a wooden stick from the vine trellis next to him and walked over slowly.

Bright lanterns illuminate the scene. A man in black was half-kneeling on the ground, panting and unable to see clearly, while in front of him, a man in a snow-white brocade robe was lying on his back under the courtyard wall, with a wound on his arm and left leg, and blood was still oozing out, staining the snow-white brocade clothes.

Mu Qing was shocked, paused, and asked in a cold voice: "You'd better leave now, otherwise I'll report to the official now, and you will wait to eat in prison if you forcibly break into the good people's houses." ”

The man in black clutched his chest and did not move, but the man in the white brocade seemed to use all his strength to move his arm slightly. Mu Qing frowned and stepped forward to look, startled when he illuminated the man's face.

The eyebrows and eyes are beautiful and exquisite, and they are not as good-looking as mortals.

Although it was stained with blood, Mu Qing still recognized it at a glance.

"Brother Li?!"

The author has something to say: Li Liulang is on the line=v=

I really can't bear to let my family Rokuro drop off for too long, although there are some wolf bèi...... But after that, it's the beautiful and domineering Li Liulang~\(≧▽≦)/~

Do you remember? It's the name that Li Liulang borrowed when he sent the letter before. Mu Qing chose him, in fact, he also sold Li Qianyu a good son, since Li Qianyu used this person's place as a fake address, it is a lot of relationship, and Mu Qing also took it by the way

I'm afraid that everyone won't remember them, so let Mr. Li Miao brush up and save zài [cover his face
