He didn't see him again until Li Chengming left Mu Qing, and the little guy who stopped to wait on the side said that Liu Shiren and Lord Liu returned to the house at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Chengming went directly to him.

By the time Liu Shiren asked him to tell Mu Qing to see him, it was already close to Shen Shi, and Li Chengming had already left.

Due to the long waiting time, Mu Qing had already drunk all the tea several times, and it was almost tasteless. Seeing that someone was coming, he got up and patted his cuffs gently, and said with a smile: "Please lead the way." "There was no sign of impatience.

The little guy who came to lead the way looked no more than ten years old, and his hair was well-dressed. He is not quite the same as other subordinates in Liu's Mansion, although Liu Shiren is honest and upright, and most of his subordinates are rules, but he is a little arrogant when he faces Mu Qing, and Mu Qing can also understand, after all, in Liu's Mansion, they often see imperial relatives or first-class officials, and they are afraid that they don't pay much attention to themselves, a half-grown child who has just been admitted to Huiyuan.

But this little guy was curious, glanced at Mu Qing from time to time, and when he saw Mu Qing looking back at him, he squinted his eyes and smiled, looking very cute and smart.

Mu Qing looked at him and asked with a smile, "I wonder if there is something wrong with me?" ”

The little guy hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Childe is naturally good, but I like the poems written by Childe, 'I have heard that it is more than a saint, and the road is as virtuous as a sage.'" Since the sages have already drunk, why bother to ask the gods. This is hung in my husband's study, and he often looks at it, and he likes it very much. I just want to see what makes the boy who wrote such verses different from others. ”

This little guy seems to be Liu Shiren's close person, otherwise he wouldn't know so much, and his words are quite casual. Mu Qing still remembers this sentence, which he wrote to Liu Shiren at the fireworks festival in Guizhou. Because he left directly without waiting for Liu Shiren's evaluation, and he didn't hear Liu Shiren's praise, now listening to this little guy say this, he naturally knows that Mr. Liu probably likes it very much.

Since it is like it, then it is good, the stone in Mu Qing's heart fell, and his smile was much more relaxed: "How about the little boy?" ”

The little guy seemed to be being called a little boy for the first time, his face turned red, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't kill me, just call my name Qingmo." After speaking, his voice paused, and he looked at Mu Qingdao with some embarrassment, "I originally thought that someone who wrote such good poetry naturally had three arms and six eyes, and he was very powerful." ”

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. Seeing him laughing, Qingmo's face became more and more red, and he stared at Mu Qing and said, "Childe, don't laugh at me, when I told my husband, my husband also said that I was right." ”

Mu Qing laughed more and more when he heard this, he knew that Liu Shiren was afraid of bluffing him, so he said: "Xu is that Mr. Liu didn't see me clearly at that time, but this time you can take a good look." ”

Qingmo didn't hear that Mu Qing was joking, but nodded matter-of-factly.

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

Laughing all the way to the door of the study, Qingmo stopped his voice, straightened his face and knocked lightly: "Sir, Mu Gongzi is here." ”

"Come in."

Qingmo stood aside, and Mu Qing pushed the door in alone.

Liu Shiren's study is in the depths of the courtyard, next to a bamboo forest, and there is a stream entwined outside, which is a very poetic place. The furnishings inside are also very poetic, there is not a single porcelain for furnishings, and each wide-mouthed bottle is full of calligraphy and painting scrolls. The window faces a bamboo forest, with a piano in front of it, and the corridor next to the window leads to a small platform in the open air, where the tea cooking utensils are placed.

And Liu Shiren was sitting there at the moment, with a calm expression holding tweezers and putting the tea leaves into the small clay pot.

Seeing Mu Qing, Liu Shiren beckoned to him: "Here, come here." ”

Mu Qing walked to the front of the platform, then lowered his head slightly, lifted the curtain and went in, and saluted Liu Shiren: "The student has seen the adult. ”

Liu Shiren gave in, looked at Mu Qing and said, "This official can't stand your gift, and wait for a few days to bow to the saint." ”

This is undoubtedly a compliment, but Mu Qing still did this ceremony, and then knelt down and sat opposite Liu Shiren.

Liu Shiren is obviously a good hand at cooking tea, and all kinds of utensils are used very smoothly, Mu Qing has seen Annu cooking tea, Annu's movements are smooth and looks very good, and Liu Shiren is obviously paying attention to the order of time, the requirements are extremely high, and the slightest difference can not be made.

When the second brew of tea was handed to Mu Qing, there was sincere admiration in Mu Qing's eyes: "The adults did an excellent job. ”

Liu Shiren took a sip from the teacup, and then exhaled softly. After putting the teacup down, Liu Shiren said: "This tea is often not smooth at the beginning, and it becomes sweet and pleasant after another time." It may be a little bitter at the moment of entry, but it is immediately fragrant and interesting. ”

Mu Qing heard the taste of writing something else from these words, but he only didn't know what to do, and lowered his head to drink tea.

Liu Shiren didn't want to let him go like this, he picked up the copper stove on the side and held it in his hand, and sighed softly: "The official is old, but his hands and feet are often very cold. ”

Mu Qing also slipped his cup and said, "The weather is still cold now, and the spring cold is expected to be steep, so it is inevitable that some hands and feet will be cold." ”

"You're different from when I first met." After hearing this, Liu Shiren looked Mu Qing up and down, and said, "At that time, I knew that you were outstanding in writing and a madman, but I never thought that you would have such a stable time. ”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly, given that Liu Shiren was Li Qianyu's help and Li Qianyu's teacher, he didn't have anything to hide: "At that time, I had no other way, Brother Li couldn't help but complete the trust given to me, and I didn't have a firm foothold in Guizhou, so I didn't come up with any other way at that time." ”

Liu Shiren obviously disagrees with this explanation: "Literati, cherish feathers, if it weren't for the extraordinary brilliance of the poems you made and the excellent handwriting, I'm afraid that the crazy name will cause a lot of dislike?" ”

Mu Qing did not refute and nodded to be taught.

Liu Shiren said again: "This official knows that you are a little Sanyuan, so you are naturally in the limelight, and I thought that I would not let you do this Huiyuan ......" Seeing Mu Qing's surprised gaze, Liu Shiren picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, "But your article is really right for the official's appetite, and someone spoke to you, so the official circled you." ”

Mu Qing had the heart to ask who helped him, but he didn't dare to ask, so he only received: "Students, thank you for cultivating adults." ”

"You do a good job, it's talent, and the handwriting is beautiful, it's hard work, and it has nothing to do with the official."

Liu Shiren's words were not polite at all, and Mu Qing had to smile bitterly.

"I thought that letting you suffer some setbacks would definitely be infinitely beneficial to you in the future, but such a good article and good sentence official was really reluctant to let go of the horse, so I circled you." As he spoke, Liu Shiren's expression sharpened, "But you remember, guard against arrogance and rashness in the future, don't do such things as looking ahead and ignoring the future, otherwise not only will your reputation be ruined, but it may also affect the prince." ”

Mu Qing hurriedly said: "The student knows, and he will definitely be calm in the future." ”

Liu Shiren saw that he promised to be cool, so he relaxed his expression, and regained the light wind just now. Although the weather is still cold, many of the bamboos next to it have already pulled out new sprouts, Liu Shiren casually pinched a piece and put it into the tea, shook the cup, watched the ups and downs of the tea, and after a while, he said: "Since the prince values you, I don't hide some things." The one who is with me to protect you is Deng Jian, I don't know if you know this person? ”

"Deng Jian?" Mu Qing frowned slightly, and then wanted to shake his head, after all, he had never had this person's name and surname in his impression, but he immediately remembered something, and said, "I don't know, he is a member of the Mizhou Deng family?" ”

Liu Shiren raised his eyelids and looked at Mu Qing, nodded and said, "Yes, he is from the Deng family, and he is now working in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Mu Qing stretched his eyebrows and said, "The student was fortunate enough to be acquainted with a son of the Deng family when he was in Guizhou, he was from the Deng family in Mizhou, and I think he helped me talk about it." ”

Liu Shiren nodded, his face was still light: "This is not allowed, it is really called true, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is favoritism, but this official will make a note for the time being, if you make a mistake in the future, you will be punished together." ”

Mu Qing knew that he had avoided this time when he said this, so he smiled and responded.

After drinking the tea, the two left the platform and went back to the study. When Mu Qing walked past the bookshelf, he glanced at the words hanging next to the bookshelf.

The words are beautiful thin gold, isn't it the one I wrote at the fireworks display?

Liu Shiren saw him staring at the words, so he said: "Your words are excellent, and you look handsome, but if you use it in the exam, it will be a bit wasteful." Your pavilion is not bad, but you are smart. Without waiting for Mu Qing to answer, Liu Shiren said again, "But it doesn't hurt for you to use this font in the future palace test, the saint likes calligraphy, and what he doesn't like the most is the pavilion style that has no characteristics." ”

Here is a direct point, Mu Qing has a reason that he doesn't understand, and he hurriedly thanked him, Liu Shiren saw that he was clever and leaked the first smile, and sat with him in the main and guest seats.

Mu Qing took out the booklet from his arms and said to Liu Shiren: "This is what Brother Li asked me to bring, and it is the poems made by the literati in Brother Li's mansion a few days ago. ”

Liu Shiren nodded, did not refuse, and directly reached out and took it. Mu Qing sat back in the guest seat, looking respectful with his head down, but in fact, his eyes quietly glanced at Liu Shiren who was sitting on it.

Only then Liu Shiren opened the booklet, and his eyes seemed to have only roughly swept the poem about Jiangnan, but immediately, his eyes turned back to the beginning, and began to look word by word, muttering in his mouth "The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue", obviously very fond of it. There were more laugh lines on Liu Shiren's face, and he turned the second page, but immediately turned to the third page, and as the pages passed, Liu Shiren's expression was obviously not good.

Mu Qing lowered his head, hiding his thoughts.

The author has something to say: Lord Liu cherishes Mu Qing's talents, so he beats him. And suing Deng Jian to sù Muqing has its own profound meaning
