In Yi'an Lane, the imperial capital, Mu Wei stewed soup while holding a little from time to time to taste it. It is not until you are satisfied that you turn the fire of the stove to low and warm it on the stove.

Mu Wei took out a bowl, finished eating, and went back to the room to read.

Because it was only a small yard, there were only two bedrooms, and because both parents were no longer alive, one bedroom was empty.

Only when he comes back, will he stay for one night once in a while.

Mu Wei glanced at the sky, and the lights of each house were already lit up.

I don't know where Yu is now?

Mu Wei suppressed the worries in his heart, concentrated on reading, and the exam was about to be, and the teacher said that he worked hard to see if he could win it at one time.

If you win, you can also enter the court as an official. Mu Wei glanced at his bedroom, there was very little furniture, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a house with four walls.

is the table he is using now, and he didn't buy it, but he went to the mountains to cut wood and brought it back to make it himself.

If it weren't for the rest of the story, he wouldn't even have a decent table.

Reading is a very money-burning thing, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, teacher's restraints, and various test materials, which one doesn't cost money?

And in this imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable, the expenses needed for life are not cheap.

If you pass the exam as soon as possible, you can also make money to support your family as soon as possible.

Although, Yu said that the matter of living expenses was left to him.

However, Mu Wei didn't want to rely on him for everything.

It's not hypocrisy, it's just that I don't want to see him too tired.

Yu Yu looks very tired every time he comes back, and occasionally comes back with injuries. Although he covered it up well in front of him, he didn't cry out for pain when he was injured.

He found out that when he wanted to bandage him, he didn't resist, so he obediently let him toss, but he never explained why he was injured.

Mu Wei sighed, collected his thoughts, and continued to concentrate on reading.

When Mu Wei woke up, he found himself sleeping on the bed, but he didn't have the impression of leaving the table last night.

I knew that Yu Gu must have returned.

Mu Wei got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, and unexpectedly saw Yu Yu drinking porridge in the yard while teasing their dog.

Yu Gu grinned while drinking porridge: "Wake up, this porridge you cooked is really delicious." ”

"When did you come back?" Mu Wei hit a basin of cold water.

"In the middle of the night, I saw you sleeping on the table, and I put you on the bed." Yu finished the last bite of food in the bowl and put it in the sink.

While pouring water into the basin, he said: "How many times have I told you, when you are tired of reading, you go to bed to rest, and it is not a matter to make do with lying on the table every day, it is not good for your health." ”

"Didn't you hold back for a while?" Mu Wei wiped his face and said with a smile.

Yu Yu finished the porridge that Mu Wei had left for him last night, and Mu Wei originally planned to make do with some noodles to eat, but found that there were some pastries warm on the stove.

Yu Yu sent the washed dishes back to the kitchen, looked at Mu Wei standing in front of the stove and said, "This is what I bought when I passed by a pastry shop, I heard that it is very delicious, you can taste it." ”

Mu Wei took out a piece and put it in his mouth, took a bite and said, "It tastes good." ”

"If you like it." Yu put the dishes and chopsticks away: "I heard that it was more delicious when it was just baked, but it was already cold when I brought it back." If you like it, we'll go together when you're free. ”

"Okay."

"Are you leaving today?"

Mu Wei brought out the pastry, because he was too lazy to wash another pair of chopsticks, and he had just washed his hands, so he took it directly and ate it.

"No, it will stay for a few days." Yu Yu rolled up his sleeves and washed the clothes he had changed yesterday, and by the way, he also washed the clothes that Mu Wei had changed out of and had not had time to wash.

"How many days will it stay?"

"I don't know." Yu Su was silent for a while and replied.

"Okay." Getting this answer, Mu Wei was not surprised at all, and changed the topic: "What are we going to eat at noon today?" ”

I thought about it again: "Two days ago, Aunt Wang next door gave a crucian carp and made crucian carp tofu soup today, okay?" ”

"Okay, where are the fish? I'll take care of it. ”

Yu took advantage of the time when Mu Wei went to the shop selling tofu to buy old tofu, and washed the clothes of the two of them.

The fish is then removed from the bowl with a lid for fear of being eaten by cats, and the fish is quickly cleaned with an extremely clean technique.

Because Mu Wei said that he wanted to use the whole fish stew, Yu Yu did not chop it into small pieces.

After Mu Wei bought the tofu back, because it was still early, he first read a book for a while before entering the kitchen.

Passing by the courtyard of the kitchen, I found that Yu Gu had fallen asleep in the sun.

Mu Wei's heart softened a little, he only came back in the middle of the night last night, and he got up so early today, so he was tired when he thought about it.

Mu Wei didn't have the strength to carry him into the house, so he went back to the bedroom and took out a blanket and covered Yu Gu's body.

Then he went into the kitchen and began to stew the soup.

Yu woke up to the scent, he raised his hand to cover the sun, put away the blanket on his body, carried it back to the bedroom, and then walked to the kitchen.

Mu Wei saw him come in and said with a smile: "Wake up, it's just time to eat." ”

Yu Yu tasted a mouthful of the milky white soup boiled by Mu Wei, and smiled like a child: "It's delicious." ”

Yu Yu took another sip of soup, and suddenly understood why he didn't want to go anywhere after completing the task, and only wanted to come here.

Looking at Mu Wei who served the soup, this is probably what makes him obsessed.

Feel at home!

It was expected that people from the imperial capital would come, but no one expected that the people from the imperial capital would come so quickly.

On the third day after the Southern Xinjiang Government finished dealing with the Liang family, the people from the imperial capital arrived in Southern Xinjiang.

The person who came was Ji Chi.

Prime Minister's confidant.

Ji Chi came to Southern Xinjiang in the dust, he was really too difficult, it was originally a nearly month's drive at the earliest, but he was forced to shorten it to a few days.

Ji Chi felt that he needed to find an inn and get a good night's sleep, otherwise he felt that he was at risk of dying early.

Ji Chi lay on the bed like a dead corpse and fell asleep deeply.

The Southern Xinjiang Mansion, the Southern Xinjiang Taishou paced back and forth, showing great anxiety, and when he saw his henchmen coming in, he couldn't wait for a moment and stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”

"After Lord Ji Chi arrived in southern Xinjiang, he immediately entered the inn and did not come out yet."

The henchman probably saw his anxiety and reassured: "Lord Ji Chi may not have come for the Liang family, after all, there is a concubine of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion in southern Xinjiang who has won the emperor's heart. ”

"Lord Ji Chi has been to the Yu family several times before, and adults can also relax."

Nanjiang Taishou sighed: "The matter of the Liang family is not a trivial matter, it is a crime of treason with the enemy, and your life and I are worried." ”

Previously, the Yu family and the Hanmen Jinshi had given him a headache, and as a result, the Liang family had another incident.

Could it be that God couldn't get used to him living too comfortably, and deliberately sent these people to fix him?

He's about to be transferred out of the countryside of southern Xinjiang? Isn't it going to be a last-minute void?

Ji Chi didn't know that his arrival would make Nanjiang Taishou so anxious, and he slept very sweetly.

By the time he woke up, a day and night had passed. Ate something hastily and went to Yu's house.

Ji Chi probably only came to the Jade family once a year, so he wasn't sure if the Yu family's guards still knew him.

And he didn't have to be low-key when he came to the Yu family this time, so he showed his identity when he came up, and he was welcomed in smoothly as a distinguished guest.

Yu Mingzhe was a little surprised when he got the news that Ji Chi had come to Yu's house.

After all, the talents in the imperial capital have not been gone for a long time, and it stands to reason that even if the imperial capital comes again, it is impossible to only have such a short interval in between.

If you think about the recent major events in southern Xinjiang, it becomes clear.

Ji Chi came here this time, and visiting Jing Mu was probably just a pretense, and the investigation of the Liang family was true.

"Where's Jing Mu?"

"The second son went out early this morning."

"Send someone to get him back."

"Yes."

Ji Chi, as Song Tingyu's confidant, Yu Mingzhe had to be polite: "Lord Ji Chi hasn't seen you for a long time. ”

"The master of the jade family is polite." Ji Chi returned the salute. "On the orders of the emperor and the prime minister, I came to visit the second son, dare to ask where the second son is?"

"Jing Mu went out early in the morning, and now he has sent someone to look for it, Lord Ji Chi will wait."

"I'm tired."

When Jing Mu was called back in a hurry, Yu Mingzhe and Ji Chizheng chatted happily. Seeing Jing Mu come in, Ji Chi politely stood up and saluted, "Second son." ”

Jing Mu immediately returned the salute and said, "Lord Ji Chi." ”

"Where did you go early in the morning? Let Lord Ji Chi wait for so long. Yu Mingzhe asked with a somewhat ugly face.

"Go back to my grandfather and go to the bookstore." Fu turned to Ji Chi and said, "Let Lord Ji Chi wait for a long time, is it Jing Mu's." ”

"I didn't notify in advance, so how can I blame the second son?" Ji Chi smiled: "Did the second son go to the bookstore to buy books related to scientific research?" ”

"Yes."

"I heard Zhao's father-in-law say that the second son plans to end up this year?"

Jing Mu was a little stunned, he didn't say this. Obviously, it was that poison hair that made Zhao Gonggong see something.

Therefore, when Ji Chi came to the imperial capital again, Gonggong Zhao specially mentioned him two sentences to him.

This is a little kindness that Zhao Gonggong gave him when he vaguely felt his situation.

"Yes, there is such an intention." Jing Mu smiled gently.

"I heard that the ancestral home of Dingbei Hou Mansion is in Northern Xinjiang, if the second son has the intention of scientific research, I am afraid that it is time to set off."

Ji Chi said very enthusiastically: "If the second son goes to Northern Xinjiang to prepare for the exam recently, I can also give the second son a ride by the way." With a companion on the road, the second son will not feel bored and afraid. ”

Jing Mu looked at Ji Chi, who was much more enthusiastic than before, and was even more sure of the guess just now.

Someone did greet Ji Chi, otherwise he couldn't have been so enthusiastic.

Ji Chi originally came to see if Jing Mu was okay, and he had other things, so he didn't stay too long before leaving.

Before leaving, he said to Jing Mu, who came to see him off: "I want to come before Gonggong Zhao also said that the emperor wants his son to participate in the imperial examination." ”
