Mu Qing has lived a full life this time. Changed the habit of lying in bed, got up early every day, drank some porridge and took Annu to the study, read books on the first floor for a while, estimated that when Mu Ting was coming, he went to the second floor to wait, and then started a day of elementary school mathematics.

Annu is also a lot more leisurely, Mu Qing no longer asks him to copy books and steal books, he is honest and can't do it, and it naturally makes him feel a lot more comfortable if he can do these things. However, Mu Qing assigned him the task to recognize words, so the "Thousand Character Text" is still a personal reading material that he refuses to leave.

But the unexpected joy is that you can mix one meal a day, and with Miss Mu Ting, you can enjoy real luxury treatment for lunch, and the days with fish and meat can't be better.

Mu Ting has not been forced by various ledgers recently, and his temperament has been more relaxed. Originally, she was a lady who liked calligraphy and painting, but after this liberation, she regained her interest and painted in the United States and Japan for her own entertainment.

This self-entertainment is often fascinating, sometimes I can't figure out how to forward, sometimes I can't think of good words and phrases, and lunch time is often missed.

Mu Ting was kind-hearted and didn't want Mu Qing to accompany him to starve, so he often asked him to eat first, so Mu Qing pulled Annu to eat together, but he didn't have to "steal" the food and go back to make it again.

These days of hard study, coupled with the study of the scriptures and meanings of those famous Confucians, have benefited Mu Qing a lot. He has learned a lot of exam methods, and he has also written a lot of practice works, some of which are good and some are bad, but after many times of practice, the writing has made great progress compared to before, and it also makes him think a lot more than before.

Words and flowers are two different landscapes presented in those scriptures. The former is pragmatic and prone to new ideas, but it is difficult to reveal literary skills, while the latter is gorgeous, and the words and sentences read majestically, but the themes in it are inevitably empty and boring.

The former is easy to be named at the top of the case file, and the latter is much worse.

Just like the essays written in the previous life, those who have a sense of truth and truth, even if the whole vernacular is easy to get a high score, most of the teachers also like these, and the beautiful and gorgeous prose written may be judged to be excellent, but it is rare to get the first place. Even though the writing is beautiful, it has a bit of a showmanship flavor and is hollow and unlikeable.

I think that whether it is the marking teacher or the chief examiner, the idea is similar.

Mu Qing studied both, and after trying for a long time, he still chose to write the latter.

Because of the original work, he can vaguely remember some of the questions of the township examination, and the final palace examination, for Mu Qing, who has a deep understanding of the emperor and the sixth prince Li Qianyu, who is about to take power, is not difficult to write an article that he likes.

However, these are all based on the county test, the government test, and the hospital test.

This third-class exam may not be difficult, but he must pass guò in order to talk about the future. Because the exam level is not high, the requirements will not be too strict, so Mu Qing made up his mind to contact the flowery scriptures and articles, not to seek a high ranking, as long as he is good to say.

With a goal, Mu Qing can be regarded as having a head start during this time.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the summer vacation has gradually dissipated, and the trees have changed from green to yellow. When the first yellow leaves fall, it also announces the arrival of autumn.

Today, Mu Ting was taken out by Mu Andao, as if to familiarize her with the operation of the shop, Mu Ting was not happy, but he still obediently followed.

Speaking of the shop, Mu Qing inevitably remembered the account books he had seen recently.

Some time ago, Mu Ting asked him to see the account book, maybe it was deliberately made in order to train her, but later, Mu Qing found that he had changed the real account book to show him.

In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, the fake is fake after all, and it is just to be used for Mu Ting to practice, so he did not do it carefully, those papers are made of Yizhou local rice paper, soft and cotton, and love to blur ink, and it is very clean, and there is no trace of being touched for a long time. And the real ledger, the paper used is the paper made in the capital, harder and tougher than other paper, this kind of paper has no name, because the owner of the workshop that made it is surnamed Liu, it is named "Liu Xuan", and because it is looked at by others, even if it is properly kept, there will still be a little rough edge at the edge of the paper.

Mu Qing was a little surprised that someone would take the real account book and let his daughter practice, you know, the things in it can be regarded as "trade secrets", and many clues can get huge information, and they can't be shown in front of people.

But Mu Ting obviously didn't think there was anything, and Mu Qing didn't say much, so he looked at it in his usual way.

At this glance, there are many unusuals.

It is said that there is no traitor and no business, but although the Mu family is not the kind of good person who will generously open a warehouse and release grain when there is a natural disaster, it is not a profiteer.

Every payment is remembered clearly, and all kinds of taxes are also paid. The Great Zhou Dynasty imposed a tax of thirty on the peasants -- the exploitation of local officials at all levels was not counted in this -- and for the merchants, it was ten taxes on one. The rulers of the Great Zhou should be very aware of the merchants' ability to absorb money, so the taxes collected are much higher, but the Mu family has not hidden it at all.

If this was the case, Mu Qing was afraid that he would praise them in his heart, but he saw that every few months, there would be a few accounts that were so lightly flowed over, not many times, but each of them was a huge amount.

As little as 100,000, as much as millions!

In the current year when one or two pieces of silver can pass half a year, a million pieces of silver are definitely a large amount. Mu Qing secretly wrote down the time of these accounts, and then flipped through those books.

Just a few days ago, he flipped through a book of illustrated books, and the answer he found was that all the huge inflows of the Mu family were accompanied by pirate invasions!

In other words, those pirates are probably the things made up by the Mu family, or the Jiangnan giants who are similar to the Mu family!

There is a sea ban in the Great Zhou, and in the original book of Mu Qingji, the reason why Li Qianyu was reprimanded by the emperor was that this murderer was bent on asking the emperor to open the sea ban.

Mu Qing is a modern man, he knows what the sea ban means for a country, not to mention those possible wars, just to say that the suppression of commerce is very strict. But this Mu family is actually making a fortune at sea.

It may be a bit strict to say that they are traitors, but it is definitely a head-off thing. Transporting the goods of the Great Zhou Overseas and exchanging them for large sums of gold and silver and then coming back is definitely a lucrative business. Businessmen, who are chasing money, are not surprising to make it. And the pirates are raging, the imperial court will definitely allocate funds to various places to crack down, and the interests of the local governments, even if they know about it□ they won't say anything.

Mu Qing didn't want to think about how the money came from, but he was thinking about where the money went.

Swallowing it himself, Mu Qing felt that the Mu family didn't have that much appetite.

Since I didn't eat it myself, I gave it away. The person who sent it, Mu Qing couldn't guess it for a while.

If you can't think about it, you don't think about it anymore, Mu Qing is not a person who likes to make trouble for himself.

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

Mu Qing had a day of leisure, but he didn't nest in the house anymore to read, and when the time came, Annu left the room and went to the Weeping Willow Courtyard.

The Weeping Willow Courtyard is no longer lush and green, but has a bit of a bleak feeling, but in Mu Qing's eyes, there is no sense of loneliness in the thick jersey, but because of this golden color, there is a little more warmth.

People in the world often have hope and satisfaction in their hearts, and the things they see are also full of festive energy.

Annu brushed away the fallen leaves on the wooden pier, but Mu Qing didn't sit down, and directly pressed Annu to the pier, and he walked not far away and drove away, gesturing.

Annu looked at his master with some surprise, stretching out his hand and kicking his legs for a while, as if he was practicing some martial arts moves. But he has seen those nurses practice martial arts, and they are all powerful with each punch and kick, but his own master has no strength at all, and each action has to be repeated four or five times, and he will bounce and jump, which is very strange.

Mu Qing didn't know what Annu was thinking, he just took care of his own movements, and whispered "Jumping movement, one-two-three-four, two-two-three-four, three-two-three-four......"

That's right, what he did used to be pulled to the big playground every morning to practice, broadcast gymnastics.
