Chapter 067: Zhongju
It's just that Mu Wenhan can't figure out when he was poisoned, let alone how to detoxify it, in Gongyuan, the students' food is uniform.
"Brother, don't worry, it's just a solution yuan, it's not that important, the key is the later test and the palace test. I believe in my brother's strength, even if he doesn't play well, it's no problem to be lifted. Mu Qingge comforted, "Sooner or later, the person who poisoned will show clues, and I don't have to worry about not being able to find it." ”
Because of Mu Qingge's discovery, Mu Wenhan felt a little better, and at the same time focused on finding the person who poisoned him, but no longer locked himself up.
Mu Qi went to talk to Mu Wenhan once, but Mu Wenhan did not disclose the poisoning, only said that he did not play well. It can be seen that Mu Qi was disappointed, but he didn't say much, and only told Mu Wenhan to study hard. As for Mu Xianming, he only said "What does it matter if you don't win", so he didn't ask again. Xia Shi had the intention to ask, but he was afraid of angering Mu Wenhan, so he didn't say much.
The rest of the Mu family, before the results come out, will not say much.
Soon it was time to release the list, what did Mu Wenhan care about, and he didn't dare to look at the list.
The news came quickly, and this time Xie Yuan was Xue An. Mu Wenhan only won the tenth place in the second list, although for most students, this ranking is already good, but for Mu Wenhan, it is a big blow.
Feng Yuming won the twenty-second place in the second list, and Liu Xianning was the best among the several people, and only won the Yakui.
The old lady thought about it again and again, but still let the whole family have dinner together, which can be regarded as a celebration banquet. Anyway, Mu Wenhan is a winner, and there will be a meeting test and a palace test next, if he can win the champion, who cares if he is Xie Yuan?
However, this celebration banquet was bitter in the end, and the atmosphere of the whole meal was always embarrassing.
"Brother, I heard that there is a deer banquet tomorrow, are you going to go?" It was Mu Qingxuan who spoke.
Mu Qingge couldn't help frowning, the Luming Banquet was a banquet held to entertain the new imperial examination and the internal and external curtain officials. The "Deer Song" chapter in the "Book of Songs" was sung at the banquet, and it was called the "Deer Song Banquet".
Mu Wenhan was originally a popular candidate for Xie Yuan, but this time he only won the tenth place in the second list, and it was inevitable that he would be ridiculed by those who were jealous earlier. Mu Qingxuan is still young, and it is impossible to know what the deer ming banquet is, it is obviously deliberately instigated by someone. It seems that not only people outside the Mufu are jealous of Mu Wenhan, but even inside the Mufu, I am afraid that there are also people who will not be able to see Mu Wenhan proud. From this point of view, it seems that the people who poisoned should not exclude the people of Mufu.
As soon as Mu Qingxuan's question came out, the banquet quieted down, and the atmosphere became even more awkward.
Mu Wenhan was about to answer, but was preempted by Mu Qingge: "Since it is a Luming banquet, and my brother is a member of the new imperial examination, how can I not go?" ”
The tone is brisk, as if it's not a big deal.
Mu Wenhan moved his lips and did not speak.
Mu Qingwu raised his voice and said, "Sister Qingge, what do you mean by this? The fifth brother treats you so well, but you push him out and be ridiculed. ”
"Eighth sister, I don't understand, why did my brother go to the Luming banquet and be ridiculed? Mo is not an elder brother, not a new imperial examination? Mu Qingge didn't plan to back down this time, and raised his voice, "Could it be that the eighth sister's heart is also mocking her brother?" ”
Mu Qingwu didn't want Mu Qingge to go toe-to-toe with him, and was also taken aback by her words, and hurriedly explained: "How could I ......?"
"If my brother is being ridiculed, it's probably because even his family doesn't understand him, right?" Mu Qingge said coldly, "Isn't there just no Zhongjieyuan?" There is also a champion waiting for his brother, and if he doesn't go to the Luming Banquet, he will be underestimated. Besides, why didn't you get the solution, it's hard to say why......"
Mu Qingge said this deliberately, if it was the people of Mufu who poisoned him, he would inevitably feel weak when he heard this.
Mu Qingxuan said in a low voice: "It's not because of your bad luck......"
Mu Qingge secretly observed, but there were no flaws, it seemed that if that person was not hiding too deeply, he would really not be from Mufu. Therefore, Mu Wenhan had to go to the Luming Banquet, not only to not be underestimated, but also to find out who was poisoned.
"Qingge is right, if you don't go to the Luming Banquet, you will be underestimated, I will go tomorrow. The boy of my Mu family is not a person who can't afford to lose. Mu Wenhan said, obviously understanding what Mu Qingge meant.
Mu Qi nodded with satisfaction, he deliberately didn't speak, just to see Mu Wenhan's attitude. You must know that in officialdom, it is impossible to always have smooth sailing, and growth in adversity is more important.
"Qingxuan, Qingwu, you two, locked up for a month, no one is allowed to step out of the door without my order, go back immediately." Mu Qi spoke slowly, and without even saying the reason, he directly said the result.
Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qingwu were stunned, and the others didn't dare to say much, and they could hear the quiet drop of a needle at the banquet for a moment.
"Not yet?" Mu Qi accentuated his tone.
Everyone came back to their senses, and the old lady wanted to ask for mercy, but after seeing Mu Qi's expression, she closed her mouth again. Naturally, the others didn't dare to talk much, and Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qingwu were taken down crying.
"The Mu family is a whole, and whoever is good is beneficial to everyone. Similarly, whoever is not good will also affect the entire Mu family. I don't want to see brothers and sisters scheming against each other in the future. Mu Qi glanced at everyone, "Next time, it's not as simple as closing it tightly." ”
At the end, he looked at Mu Xianming again: "Qingxuan is still young, you, as a father, should care more about her, the maids and mothers around you must have good character, don't let people teach her badly." ”
These words were originally meant to be said to the Xia family, but it was difficult to speak, so they said it to Mu Xianming. Mu Xianming didn't dare to say more, and his voice should have been.
Mu Qingge looked at Mu Qi in surprise, when he said this, everyone would think that he was helping himself. Whether it was the last time Mu Qingxuan was punished for copying women's rules, or this time the punishment was tight, it was obviously punished heavily, but there were only a few quarrels. In particular, Mu Qi didn't punish himself twice.
"Qingge, you come with me." Mu Qingge thought of it, and was named by Mu Qi, "You eat slowly, I'll go first." ”
Mu Qingge didn't dare to refuse, and left with Mu Qi. But I was a little apprehensive in my heart, what was Mu Qi looking for himself?
