The most beautiful season in Jiangnan is the fireworks in March. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the river water is as green as blue in spring, which is nothing more than a fairyland on earth.

But at this time it is the cold winter wax moon, although it has not snowed yet, but the weather is very cold, although it is not as cold as the dry cold in the north, but when people walk outside, they can feel the cold wind carrying the moisture to the face, just hold the stove into the arms tighter and tighter.

Mu Qing was originally a person who liked to lie in bed, and when it was cold, he became more and more reluctant to get up. Annu got up early to pack up, and when she entered the back room, she saw a small bag in the satin quilt. Mu Qing usually likes to curl himself up together when he sleeps, the quilt is tightly covered, only his head is exposed, and he sleeps very quietly. Annu was reluctant to wake him up, so he packed up his things by himself, and only when he saw that it was still dawning in the morning did he gently push Mu Qing awake.

"What time is it?" Mu Qing yawned and got out of the quilt.

"Three quarters a minute." An Nu responded as she took off the shirt hanging on the shelf and handed it to Mu Qing. He had put the copper stove on the shelf early and leaned against his clothes, which was warm to the touch.

Mu Qing took it and got dressed slowly. After buttoning the buckle, Mu Qing sat up and washed his face, so he was more sober.

Wiping his face with a hand towel, Mu Qing looked at Annu, but saw that the man's face was already slightly sweaty. That's right, this room was baked by the stove all night, and the heat did not dissipate, and Annu was busy going in and out without stopping, so it was naturally hot. Mu Qing smiled and said to Annu: "There are no outsiders left and right, so don't buckle your clip to your neck, it's very dry when you look at it." ”

When Annu heard this, he didn't take off his wallet, but smiled at Mu Qing and said, "I don't have to do anything, master, the porridge is ready, but I want to have breakfast?" ”

The porridge was hot in the kitchen, but Mu Qing was not in a hurry to drink it, took out the bookcase, put the stove with his hands in his hand and put it inside, and then put the dry food and beef he wanted to bring in and warm it, covered it with a layer of boards, and put a few thin books in it.

The township test is a hurdle, and many people can't get through it for a lifetime. Among the three children's exams, the first two may just be to give the reader a chance, but this last test is really for brushing people, and the one who can pass guò is only one-tenth of two. Mu Qing has somewhat figured out the doorway of scientific research, but he doesn't dare to underestimate it, these classics should still be carried with him. What's more, there are only a few days before the township test, so it is natural to prepare in time.

The porridge is freshly boiled and fragrant. The pickles are finely chopped and drizzled with sesame oil, which makes you appetizing just by looking at them.

Mu Qing ate some in a hurry, and just after putting off his chopsticks, he heard a knock at the door. Annu went to open the door, and standing outside the door was Li Qianyu, who was dressed in white brocade, and Lan Ruo, who was standing solemnly.

"Brother Li got up early." Mu Qing greeted him with a smile.

Li Qianyu nodded, stepped into the courtyard, and the jade pendant on his waist shook slightly as he walked: "I didn't want to disturb you so early, but when I saw that there was already a sound on your side, I came over." ”

Mu Qing only said that he didn't mind, let him sit down, and went to clean up his things.

Even though Li Qianyu has been suppressed by the eldest prince since he was a child, he is also of noble birth and pure blood, and he is always hugged when he goes out, and there are people who take care of all the big and small things. When I went out this time, I just wore some thick clothes, but I didn't think about anything else. Seeing Mu Qing taking An Nu in and out, Li Qianyu couldn't help but speak: "This time I went out, it was just one day at most, and it didn't have to be so cumbersome." ”

"It's only two days, but it's all about being prepared." Mu Qing stopped and stuffed a sheepskin water bag into the bookcase, "It's not as good as spring and summer, the rivers and streams outside the city are all frozen, and the animals that are usually seen rarely come out to move, plus the weather is cold, you must prepare food and water bags before leaving." By the way, bring some wine to warm up. ”

Li Qianyu may have the most splendid thoughts in the world, but he doesn't know anything about these, and after listening to Mu Qing's words, he only felt that there was some truth, so he didn't speak again.

Li Qianyu also felt a little uncomfortable, Mu Qing saw it, and asked him to help bring things such as firecrackers and stoves with a smile. Lan Ruo went to Annu to help, maybe he scared Annu yesterday, but this time Annu saw Lan Ruo but pursed his lips and didn't say a word, his handsome little face was tense.

Mu Qing crossed his waist and looked at the things in front of him, eating and drinking, all of them were packed up, he looked to the side, and saw Li Qianyu frowning and looking at something, Mu Qing looked at his eyes, and saw Lan Ruo packing up his things with an indifferent expression, while An Nu was trying to distance himself from him.

"Annu is still a child." Mu Qing said with a smile.

Li Qianyu glanced at Mu Qing lightly, didn't speak, but put the fire fold in his sleeve. Mu Qingyue saw that something dark was revealing in his sleeve, but before he could see Li Qianyu clearly, he had already lowered his arm.

packed up and stopped and went out, Annu was a little unbearable with the bookcase on his back, there were so many things in it that he shook when he walked on his back. Lan Ruo stretched out his long hand and lifted the bookcase and put it on his shoulder, and looked at Annu's surprised eyes, Lan Ruo's expression was still cold, but he turned his eyes slightly: "You can go by yourself." ”

"Thank you." Annu squeezed out two words.

Lan Ruo curled the corners of her lips at him, and smiled peacefully.

Mu Qing wrapped himself tightly, holding a small copper stove in his arms to warm up. Li Qianyu was relaxed, and he had a graceful demeanor with a jade fan pinned to his waist, but he felt very cold in Mu Qing's eyes. raised his hand and stuffed his own into Li Qianyu's arms.

"You wear less, take it warmer." Mu Qing tried to keep his face from touching the fluffy fox fur on his collar, and pulled open the furry collar to reveal his face.

Li Qianyu looked at Mu Qing a few times. In fact, Li Qianyu is not very cold, he has been in the north for a long time, and he has practiced diligently since he was a child, so he can't freeze in the winter in the south. However, this can be regarded as Mu Qing's kindness, but it is not easy to refuse. He put the stove in his hand and thanked him.

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

It's still early in the morning, and there aren't many pedestrians on the streets. Out of the city gate, Li Qianyu took the lead to the east, Mu Qing just followed behind him, and didn't ask where he went, until he came to a pavilion before stopping, and several people entered the pavilion.

"You believe me." Along the way, Mu Qing only talked about the weather and scenery, but he didn't ask Li Qianyu about his purpose, which surprised Li Qianyu.

Mu Qing seemed to remember this time, and turned his head and asked, "Why did Brother Li come?" ”

Li Qianyu didn't seem to be ready to hide it from him, took out the jade jade fan and knocked it on his hand, and then said: "I'll see someone, I'll make an appointment for him to arrive in the afternoon, and I ask you to help me deliver a letter at that time." ”

Mu Qing blinked, and responded without saying a word.

It must not be easy for Li Qianyu to take the risk of leaving the fiefdom to meet the person, Mu Qing can't guess who it is, but it is extremely important to think about it. Mu Qing thought about it secretly in his heart, but he didn't have a reason.

The back of this pavilion is a stone wall, facing the road to Guizhou Mansion, because the pavilion occupies a higher area, and it is clear to look down, which makes Mu Qing sigh that Li Qianyu is looking for a place with exquisite location.

However, since it was waiting for someone, he could go back earlier when he arrived, which made Mu Qing feel sorry in his heart for what he had prepared for so long.

Then it was time to wait, Mu Qing took out the scripture in the bookcase to see, holding a quill in his hand, writing and drawing from time to time, but Li Qianyu kept looking at him, and he didn't feel any surprise when he saw the quill pen.

He had already sent someone to spy on Mu Qing in the dark, and he basically knew everything this person did. He also knows this quill pen, but listening to people tell it is always like the novelty of actually seeing it, Li Qianyu looked at it, showing some interest.

"Brother Li, do you want to try?" When Mu Qing saw him, he handed over the quill.

Li Qianyu took it, fiddled with it in his hand, touched the tip of the pen, and only felt that it was very prickly. It didn't take long to return it to Mu Qing, only exquisitely. Mu Qing smiled, then picked up the book to take a look, Li Qianyu had nothing to do, and then he also pulled out the White Snake Legend that Mu Qing gave him yesterday. Yesterday, when I saw Bai Suzhen flooding Jinshan Temple, Li Qianyu turned the page unhurriedly, with a slightly disgusted look on his face.

"Brother Li doesn't like it?" Mu Qing asked him with his chin propped up.

Li Qianyu raised his head when he heard this, and saw Mu Qing pointing to the White Snake Legend in his hand, but he shook his head and said, "The writing is excellent, but I don't like the character of that Xu Xian." A dignified man, he wants to let women solve problems everywhere, but he is a soft-eared man, and he is easily fooled, and he throws away all the love with his own lady, and it is clear that he can't support the wall with a sludge. ”

"Doesn't this make it more like the white lady is more in love with Jin Jian?" Mu Qing smiled lightly.

"It's just the stupidity of a woman in love." Li Qianyu's voice was indifferent.

Suddenly, Lan Ruo, who had been sitting quietly in the pavilion, suddenly fell to the ground, put his ear to the ground and listened carefully for a while, then got up and put his hand on the long sword at his waist and said solemnly: "Master, someone is coming." ”

Li Qianyu looked at Lan Ruo's face and knew that it must not be the person they were waiting for, the light clouds on his face dissipated a little, and his voice was cold: "Can you hear how many people there are?" ”

"Seven, to say the least." Lan Ruo's voice paused, "Master, when they walked, they didn't walk as heavily as they admitted, and their voices were not loud, most of them were wearing shoes made of animal skins. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qing and Li Qianyu's expressions changed suddenly.

The popular shoes and boots in the Great Zhou Dynasty were cloth shoes and boots, whether it was civilian shoes or official boots, most of them were cloth or satin, and the thick soles were the mainstay. Perhaps in winter, people wear animal skins due to the cold weather, but for the convenience of walking, most of them still use wood or thick cloth instead of soft animal skins.

And those who will use animal skins as daily shoe materials are only the Liao people in the north!
