Before Mu Shengbai went up, he suddenly asked, "I don't know where Du Shangshu is?" ”

Shopkeeper Wan stroked his long beard lightly, and his expression was complicated, "Du Shangshu is unparalleled in academics, and he is the top layer." ”

Mu Shengbai didn't understand why Shopkeeper Wan showed such an expression, and only expressed his longing for Du Yu, so he lifted the hem of his pants and walked to the upper floor with his legs raised.

"Du Shangshu? Isn't it the academic master who always grinds until the end closes? ”

"It's the official who is always kicked out by the scholar, no wonder Shopkeeper Wan showed such a helpless expression."

As soon as Mu Shengbai walked on his front foot, the teenagers behind him chattered and discussed, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.

As soon as Mu Shengbai reached the second floor, he was shocked by the amount of books here, and even found several books that he couldn't find even after searching the bookstores in Jinling City.

"The Long History of the Western Regions, a Collection of Poets and Poets of Dongting......" His eyes were getting brighter and brighter, if it weren't for the bookstore here, he would have screamed uncontrollably.

took a long history of the Western Regions that he couldn't find even after searching Jinling City, Mu Shengbai sat cross-legged on the ground and read it with relish.

Time gradually passed in the turning of the pages, and there were fewer and fewer people in the Ten Thousand Book Pavilion, and finally only Mu Shengbai was left on the second floor, but he was still immersed in the fantasy history of the Western Regions and couldn't extricate himself, until the movement from the upstairs made him wake up from the world in the book.

"Du Shangshu, it's not that the little one refuses to let you continue to watch, it's really the rule of Wanshu Pavilion is that the door is closed at the end of the unitary time, and you always drag it until the time of the fast war, which is not appropriate." The male voice was very urgent, and a little helpless.

"But now it's just the unitary hour, it's better to ......" The man's familiar neutral voice drilled into Mu Shengbai's ears, and he could even think of the man's shrewd expression.

The man didn't buy it, "Du Shangshu, the small one is really urgent today, or you come back tomorrow, the small one will be kept for you, and it will not be taken away by others." ”

Water Conservancy? Mu Shengbai thought about it, he seemed to have brought this book to the Imperial City, and he only finished reading it a few days ago.

Du Shangshu was still unwilling, and kept trying to persuade the scholar, but the scholar's attitude was also very firm, and he refused to let go.

Mu Shengbai didn't have the intention of reading the book anymore, until Wanshuge was not allowed to take the book away, put the book back in its place and walked to the stairs, and sure enough, he saw the scholar indifferently driving down Du Yu, who was reluctant.

"Master Mu, why are you here?" Du Yu looked up and saw Mu Shengbai, and said hello with a natural face, without any embarrassment to be seen as a scoundrel.

Mu Shengbai felt that Du Yu really had the true temperament as the prince said, and he was a bookworm, and he appreciated him more and more in his heart, and smiled heartily, "I just finished reading the book, and I realized that it was time to close the door." ”

I don't know if it's because Mu Shengbai is there, Du Yu didn't pester the scholar, and quietly followed Mu Shengbai away. The two parted at the door, and Mu Shengbai wanted to rush back to dine with Ning Qingqing and them.

After finishing the meal, he went back to the study to rummage through it, found the water conservancy book that he had read, and asked Huang Lai to send it to Du Yu.

"Master, Master Mu sent someone to bring something over." The old housekeeper took the book into Du Yu's study, he was processing the file sent by the ministry, and when he heard the old housekeeper's words, he didn't raise his head, and his expression was a little gloomy.

Du Yu lowered his face and scolded sharply, "I didn't expect that this Lord Mu didn't come to the imperial city for a long time before he became infected with such bad habits, doesn't he know that the rules of my Du Mansion are not to accept gifts?" ”

The old housekeeper didn't seem to be affected at all, and was very calm, "Master, the people from the Mu Mansion said that this gift was prepared by Master Mu with his heart, and I guarantee that you are satisfied." ”

Du Yu couldn't help but be curious no matter how uncomfortable he was, and snorted coldly, "Oh? Then I want to see the confidence that this Mu Shengbai comes from, I said it first, no matter what this thing is, I won't accept it. ”

The old housekeeper smiled, and opened the bag sent by Mu Shengbai, and when Du Yu saw the contents clearly, his eyes were as bright as when the bandit saw a few hundred taels of gold, swallowing his saliva wildly, and then thinking of what he said just now, he couldn't wait to swallow his tongue into his stomach, where did so much nonsense come from.

"Master, since you have read it, the little one will send the book back to Master Mu." The old housekeeper reached out to take the book back, but saw that Du Yu hurriedly stuffed it onto the bookshelf.

"Stewardship and slow." Du Yu coughed to hide his embarrassment, and with the butler's suspicious eyes, he said seriously: "You see that Lord Mu is so hearted, if I return the book untouched, Lord Mu will definitely be sad, so forget it." You should go to the warehouse and take the painting of Tang Bofu that the emperor rewarded last time as a return gift to Lord Mu. And for the sake of Lord Mu's heart, tell him that in the future, if he has any needs that are not related to principles, please come to me. ”

got such a promise from Du Yu, but it is not exchanged.

The butler answered, and went down to make arrangements.

Seeing the housekeeper walk out, Du Yu got up and closed the door and window tightly, and then took out the book given by Mu Shengbai, looking intoxicated, as if he had drunk wine, and he didn't know where Mu Shengbai got the water conservancy note, but he only found it in Wanshuge after looking for a long time.

Without thinking about it so much, Du Yu piled the file next to him, spread the book on the table, and read it with fascination.

Mu Shengbai also received the painting of Tang Bofu sent by Du Yu, and he was very surprised, people who read, who doesn't know the famous Tang Bofu all over the world, plus Du Yu's promise, Mu Shengbai felt that his willingness was not wrong at the moment.

The leaves on both sides of the streets of the imperial city are all yellow, and they are falling down one after another, it is a withered leaf butterfly, paving the entire avenue, looking down from a high place, I only feel that the entire imperial city has been painted with a layer of gold, but the season that should have been depressed is wonderful against the confident smile on the faces of the students, and today is the day when the imperial examination is officially held.

After dressing up carefully, Du Weizhen and Mu Shengbai came to the examination room together, and all the students had entered the examination room, and two low-key and luxurious carriages stopped in the examination room.

Mu Shengbai got out of the car neatly, facing Du Chenliang, who was helped down.

"The grass people have seen the second prince."

Du Chenliang looked at Mu Shengbai and then at Du Weizhen behind him, and smiled weirdly, "You and my imperial brother really have a deep relationship, and he also brought you to the examination room." ”

Du Weizhen has always been unkind to Du Chenliang in private, after Du Chenliang repeatedly framed him, he didn't treat that person as a brother, and the brotherhood between the two in the past was just a thing of the past, "The emperor's brother might as well take care of his own affairs, and it is better not to get too involved in the affairs of the palace." ”
