Annu always got up early, but Mu Qing always waited until the sun was completely out of his head to open his eyes.

Brushed his teeth with wicker dipped in green salt, drew water and rinsed his mouth, and when he turned around, he saw Annu walking in with a basin of water.

"Master, wipe your face, the water is warm."

Mu Qing took a towel and soaked it in water, and then covered it on his face. Although the water is warm, it is not very hot, and it seems to have something refreshing such as mint added to it, and it is cool on the face. I usually don't eat much meat, and I live a regular life, just wiping it is much more refreshing, Mu Qing washed the handkerchief and hung it on the shelf, and An Nu took a comb behind him and helped him tie up his hair.

After coming here for more than a month, Mu Qing still hasn't studied how to fiddle with this long hair thoroughly. Accustomed to short hair, wash and blow every morning and go out, now the long hair is scary, spread out every night when I sleep, get up in the morning, it looks smooth, but in fact, the ends of the hair have long been tangled into a ball, and the scalp hurts when I pull it.

Anu took the comb, dipped it in some water, and picked up her hair with one hand and smoothed out the knots with the other. Mu Qing raised his head slightly to look at him: "Annu, it's good for you to comb your hair, go back and teach me." ”

"I will take care of my master in the future." Annu smiled, did not agree, and neatly picked up the royal blue headband on the side to tie up Mu Qing's hair.

After packing up, Mu Qing went to the inner room.

On the wall of the inner chamber there was a curtain, which was lifted, and there was indeed a recessed square, on which were two sticks of white ash, and a small copper stove, in which there was a thick ash that had been burned.

And in the middle of this is a vermilion rank.

Mother Muhammad's Spiritual Seat.

A few words are neither upright nor atmospheric, but they are reverent in every stroke and every word. I heard Annu say that this was written by "Mu Qing" when he was a child, and these things were obtained by using all his money. When Annu came to serve, he was already sick and dazed, but he still instructed him tightly, don't neglect his mother, and incense every day.

Now that this body has changed its core, Mu Qing is still incense every day.

Lighting the incense, Mu Qing bowed and worshiped reverently.

For the sake of not only the Mu family, who was not prosperous at the beginning, but also for the former owner whose body was taken away by a cold wind.

Mu Qing didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after experiencing the crossing incident, he felt that it was okay to believe in some.

After worshipping, Mu Qing took the book and left the house. Anu followed him with a suitcase on his back and carefully locked the door of the room.

The Mu family is very large, but there are not many places where Mu Qing can move around.

Not far from the small house where Mu Qing lives is a garden, called Weeping Willow Courtyard. It is not appropriate to say that it is a garden, there are no flowers and plants in it, but there are many trees that do not bloom, but they are green. In the past, no one took care of them, but they grew very well.

Since there is no purple and red, there are not many people coming, but it is a good place to study.

Mu Qing easily found the largest tree, put a wooden pier underneath, Mu Qing lifted the hem of his shirt and sat on it. Seeing Mu Qing reading, Annu didn't bother, put the box on the ground, removed the pen and ink, took out a book from it and sat aside to read.

"Thousand Words", the master said that literacy can read, and reading can be reasonable, although Annu does not feel that he has any use in reading, but since it is the master who said it, it is useful.

But it didn't take long for him to leave.

Mu Qing opened the book and took out the bamboo note inside and put it aside.

Although many things have changed, the current imperial examination is still dominated by Confucian classics. Since Mu Qing had made up his mind to take the path of the imperial examination, he had to carefully study the Bagu Wen. Fortunately, the previous owner of this body was a person who liked to read and memorized a lot of things, and those memories were not discarded. What Mu Qing is doing now is not to continue to memorize, but to study.

The imperial examination is an examination. Since it is an exam, there will be a pattern.

The imperial examination is divided into two subjects, one is the Jinshi department and the other is the Ming Jing department. The former is mainly poetry. The latter examines the scriptures. Now the general trend is to be admitted to the Jinshi, and Mu Qing is also biased towards the former, Mu Qing, who has many poems and songs, is not afraid of poetry. Moreover, this year is a year of gathering of major events, and some exam questions are vaguely mentioned in the original book, which makes Mu Qing feel confident.

But no matter which subject it is, the one who has to be tested is the scriptures.

Originally, Jingyi was just an interpretation of the scriptures and clarified their meanings, but Mu Qing remembered that this subject later evolved into Baguwen. Baguwen is a representative of rigid literature, with extreme rules, and sometimes an article that looks like a flower is actually saying the same thing as not saying it.

Mu Qing, who has experienced the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination New Oriental, has already had a lot of experience in the exam, although the current scriptures and meanings are not as perverted as Baguwen, but careful thinking can figure out some doorways.

There are not many celebrity articles in his hands, and the printing technology is not yet developed, and most of the books and texts have to be copied by hand, and he asked Annu to read so that he could copy some celebrity essays from the Mu family's study.

The Mu family is rich, but it is not a scholarly family, and most of those study rooms are also furnished, so Annu has not been discovered these few times to sneak in. Sometimes he also asked Annu to bring some books back, but Annu refused at first, but Mu Qing was uplifting.

We're just stealing books, stealing books isn't stealing.

About half an hour, the sky was already bright, and Annu came back, handed the paper he copied in his hand to Mu Qing, and there was still a panicked look on his face.

"Annu, your handwriting will have to be practiced well in the future." Mu Qing looked at the skimming that could only be vaguely discerned on it, and was a little helpless.

Annu blushed, lowered her head and did not speak.

After taking this piece of paper and comparing it with the scroll in his hand, Mu Qing became more and more deeply aware of the thoughts in his heart.

The book Mu Qing was holding was actually a selection of celebrity essays bound by himself, and he re-transcribed the manuscript copied by Annu on this booklet, and the font used was his personal preference of thin gold font, the penmanship was vigorous, the intention was natural, and it was not difficult to write.

After reading the scriptures that he hadn't finished reading yesterday, Mu Qing's expression was relieved a lot. These essays use different titles, different ideas, and even different words, but they have the same framework when viewed closely.

Mu Qing had a general idea in his heart, and now that no one explained these things to him, he could only figure it out by himself. I felt a little more enlightened, and I was about to get up, but I saw someone walking from afar.

Mu Qing put the scroll in his arms, stood up and looked at the visitor. It was two women, both fifteen or sixteen years old, one wearing mansa brocade, and the other wearing a maid's outfit, but the material of the clothes was much better than her own.

The identity of the person who arrived immediately, Mu Qing was not panicked, and looked at them with straight eyes.

Mu Qing's mother is the eldest lady of the Mu family, and she also has a brother named Mu Andao, thinking that this woman is Mu Andao's only daughter.

It's just that Mu Qing didn't know what the name of this cousin he had never met, maybe Anu mentioned it, but he didn't put it in his mind at all.

The woman seemed to know Mu Qing, and her footsteps paused, but she still walked over.

"Ah Qing, how did you get out of the house?" The woman was dressed in blue, and there was a weak and concerned smile on her face.

Mu Qing didn't speak, and An Nu on the side saluted obediently: "I've seen Miss Mu Ting." ”

It was originally called Mu Ting. Mu Qing glanced at Annu approvingly, and Annu threw over a helpless expression, he knew that his master couldn't remember anything except those strange articles now.

Mu Ting called softly, and then looked at Mu Qing again: "A-Niang said that you are not in good health and can't go out of the house, and now the weather is still cold, I'm afraid you will get sick if you come out like this." ”

"Sister Xie cares, I'm fine." Mu Qingxiao was innocent, but he had some thoughts in his heart.

It seems that the head of the Mu family didn't tell the eldest lady in front of her everything about herself, and used her poor health to coax her?

The look on the face of the little maid behind Mu Ting was inadvertently swept through, mixed with disdain and arrogance, and the people who watched it felt very uncomfortable. But Mu Qing still laughed, on the one hand, the two of them were older together before the psychological age was closed, and on the other hand, there were too many people who saw this kind of look this month, and it was not bad for this one.

As if on purpose, Mu Qing stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Ting's fingers, and the wide sleeves slipped down, revealing his arm that was too slender to be good. Mu Qing looked at the surprise and pity that flashed in Mu Ting's eyes with satisfaction, he still smiled, his eyes were clean and smart: "If my sister is fine, can she stay with me for a while?" I'm in good shape, but I'm always bored by myself. ”

Seeing Mu Qing's lively smile, Mu Ting believed his words a little in his heart, and then relieved his worries. In fact, she and Meng Qing did not meet more than ten times before and after, but she was the only daughter in the family, and she used to be a little lonely. Although Mu Qing is always sick and thin, she is not bad, and she always calls her sister long and sister, so she has a good impression of Mu Qing.

Women are naturally merciful to the weak, and whether it is Mu Qing in the past or Mu Qing now, the identity of the weak is very good.
