Chapter 42: The Surprised Mu Shangde
"Oh, Grandpa Wei, do you know who wrote this poem?"
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou looked at Wei Zhongxian with some surprise and asked, you must know that this Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch who can't read a few big characters, and he actually cares about this kind of lyrics.
"Back to the eldest princess's words, such as "Changmen Fu" such amazing lyrics and songs, as long as you hear it once, you will be deeply attracted, the slave maid also listened to people singing this lyric on the street not long ago, and was deeply attracted, so she sent someone to investigate which great talent made it, and it happened that there was a letter today, and the princess asked, and the slave and maid could also answer." Wei Zhongxian said respectfully.
Although Wei Zhongxian is a great eunuch who can't read a single word, he respects talented literati very much, but many talented people like to be arrogant and arrogant, look down on eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian, and are unwilling to associate with them.
"Father-in-law Wei, tell the palace quickly, which great genius made such wonderful lyrics and songs as "Changmen Fu"." Prince Zhao Yan asked, after all, he was still very young and a little uncontrollable.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, according to Dongchang's investigation, this "Nagato Fu" first appeared in Kurihara County in the south of the Yangtze River." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Kurihara-gun, as far as I know, there are no famous talents in Kurihara-gun, but there are a few talented women."
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said in surprise, you must know that Kurihara County is a small county among the more than 100 counties in the Great Qin Dynasty, and since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, there has been no particularly famous talent in Kurihara County.
"Back to the princess, this talented man who made "Nagato Fu" is the fiancé of Mu Yunxi, one of the three talented women in Kurihara County, according to the report, this talented man's name is Qin Duan, and he is the son-in-law of Kurihara Mufu, five years ago, a fire, after the death of both parents, he has been living in Mu Mansion." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Kurihara Mufu? Is it the hometown of Mu Shangde, who has just been promoted to the servant of the ministry? ”
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou asked, this eldest princess is the eldest daughter of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, she is talented and intelligent, and has always been an important think tank of her father, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and she can memorize the information of some major officials of the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Back to the eldest princess, this Qin Duan is Lord Mu's son-in-law." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Oh, I didn't expect that a talented girl came out of Master Mu's family, and there was an incredible talent, it's really gratifying, is Master Mu Shangde Mu here?" The eldest princess Zhao Zirou asked the palace maid on the side.
"Back to the eldest princess, Lord Mu is here, but he is sitting far away." A palace maid standing beside the eldest princess said.
"Then ask him to come up and talk." The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said.
"Yes."
The palace maid on the side answered, so she instructed someone to hurry up and ask Lord Mu to talk back.
"Mu Shangde, the waiter of the Ministry of Micro Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince, see Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
Mu Shangde gasped and stepped forward to meet the prince and the eldest princess, just now I heard the palace maid say that the eldest prince wanted to come forward to answer by himself, which made Mu Shangde's heart beat nervously, and I don't know what the eldest princess is going to ask, in the current Great Qin Dynasty, although this eldest princess is only twenty years old, she is talented and intelligent, and she has good means, but she is a terrible character, and she has the power of life and death of many officials in her hands, it can be said that she is under one person, above ten thousand people, and it is the prince of today who listens to this eldest princess very much.
"Lord Mu, please get up and talk back." The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said to Mu Shangde.
"Princess Xie."
After Mu Shangde secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he said, Fortunately, listening to the calm tone of the eldest princess, there should be nothing bad.
"Master Mu, do you know who this "Nagato Fu" came from." The eldest princess Zhao Zirou asked.
"Nagato Fu"?"
Mu Shangde was a little dumbfounded, he had never heard of "Nagato Fu", how did he know who made "Nagato Fu".
"Hehe, Lord Mu, it's the lyrics and songs that the singers sang just now." Seeing Mu Shangde's stunned appearance, Prince Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile and said.
"It turns out that the name of this peerless song is "Nagato Fu", Wechen has heard this song for the first time, this song can be sung through the ages, but Wechen doesn't know who made this song." Mu Shangde said respectfully.
"Lord Mu really doesn't know who wrote this songsong?" Prince Zhao Yan looked at Mu Shangde with some confusion and asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen really doesn't know."
Mu Shangde replied affirmatively, this "Changmen Fu", Mu Shangde really heard it for the first time, and he didn't know why the eldest princess and the prince asked themselves this question, which made Mu Shangde very confused.
"This "Nagato Fu" was written by your son-in-law, don't you know?" The eldest princess Zhao Zirou looked at Mu Shangde suspiciously and asked.
"Eldest princess, are you saying that this song "Nagato Fu" was composed by my son-in-law?"
Mu Shangde looked at the eldest princess in surprise and asked, Mu Shangde knows very well that the son-in-law of his family is a complete fool, not to mention composing lyrics and music, it is good to be able to read a few words.
"Don't you really know that this "Nagato Fu" was composed by your son-in-law."
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou saw that Mu Shangde's appearance didn't look like she was lying to herself, not to mention that there was no need to lie to herself about this matter, so she couldn't help but ask with some doubts.
"Weichen really doesn't know, I don't know who the eldest princess heard that this "Changmen Fu" was made by Weichen's son-in-law, Weichen has a little girl under his knees, and he has not married yet, but he has a family affair a long time ago, but the boy is a fool, he has been in the Mu family for five years, he doesn't know a single big word, and he only has the wisdom of enlightenment at the age of five or six, how can he make such a stunning work, is it wrong."
Mu Shangde said cautiously that if his future son-in-law could make such a peerless lyrics and music as "Nagato Fu", the sow would be able to go up the tree.
There is no way, in this era when communication basically relies on roaring, traffic basically depends on walking, and public security basically depends on dogs, it is very difficult for ordinary people to pass on a message, especially Kurihara County is thousands of miles away from the capital Chang'an, and ordinary letters basically cannot reach the capital in two months, and only institutions such as Dongchang and the military department have communication equipment such as 800 miles of urgent and carrier pigeons, which can greatly shorten the circulation speed of this news.
This is also why Mu Shangde still doesn't know that his son-in-law is no longer a fool, and he still wonders if he made a mistake.
"Master Mu, is your son-in-law's name Qin Duan?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
"Yes, his name is Qin Dui." Mu Shangde said.
"Then there are a few people in your Mu family named Qin Dui." Wei Zhongxian asked again.
"Father-in-law Wei, you are joking, how can there be a few people named Qin Duan in the Mu family, just one, who has been living in my Mu family's old mansion." Mu Shangde said.
"That's not wrong, this "Changmen Fu" was written by your Mu family, a talented man in the twilight of Qin." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Father-in-law Wei, you're joking, how can this Qin Duan be a genius, he is a fool." Mu Shangde said.
"Master Mu, you said that your son-in-law is a fool, how can you be willing to marry your daughter to a fool." Prince Zhao Yan asked curiously.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Weichen family used to be friends with the Qin family, and when my father was very early, he made this family affair with the old man of the Qin family, at that time, this Qin Dui was still very smart and clever, but in an accident, this Qin Dui became a fool."
Mu Shangde said, Mu Shangde didn't expect that the name of his stupid son-in-law would one day be transmitted to the capital and to the eldest princess's mansion, and it was really embarrassing to throw it to the entire Great Qin Dynasty, which made Mu Shangde very depressed, it is estimated that in a few days, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will know that they have a stupid son-in-law.
"Grandpa Wei, what's going on?" The eldest princess looked at this Wei Zhongxian suspiciously, and asked, it stands to reason that the secret agents of the East Factory should not be mistaken.
"Lord Mu, you may not know, your stupid son-in-law is not stupid now, not only is he not stupid, but he is also talented."
Wei Zhongxian said to Mu Shangde with a smile, if the news was not convinced, Wei Zhongxian would not dare to say this on such an occasion.
"It's... How is this possible? ”
Mu Shangde said in shock, the fool suddenly became a talented talent, this change is too big, so big that Mu Shangde is a little difficult to accept.
"Hehe, it seems that Lord Mu really doesn't know about this."
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said with a smile, looking at Mu Shangde's appearance, he estimated that he still didn't believe that his son-in-law had become a talent.
"Back to the princess, Weichen really doesn't know about this, Weichen will write to ask when he goes back." Mu Shangde came back to his senses and said.
"It's better for me to send someone to investigate, you write a letter and wait for a reply, it's all next year."
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said, Zhao Zirou also wants to see this talented man who made peerless lyrics and songs like "Changmen Fu", what does he look like, for talented people, the eldest princess is very appreciative.
"Master Mu, are you sure that your son-in-law is a fool?" Prince Zhao Yan asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen confirmed that it was correct, this is not a secret in Kurihara County."
Mu Shangde said that on such an occasion where hundreds of officials gathered, saying that his son-in-law was a fool also made Mu Shangde very embarrassed.
"Oh, how can I say that your son-in-law has suddenly become smarter?" Prince Zhao Yan asked with great interest.
"If you go back to Your Highness, Weichen thinks it should be like this."
Mu Shangde thought for a while and said, Mu Shangde knows the details of his stupid son-in-law better than anyone else, if he wants to say that this "Changmen Fu" was composed by him, Mu Shangde was the first to believe it.
"Hehe, it seems that your son-in-law is a very interesting person, and this palace wants to meet him." Prince Zhao Yan said with a smile.

In the boudoir of Li Xiangjun in Meixianglou, Qinhuai River.
"Xianggong, do you dislike Xiangjun? Is it Xiangjun where did it, you are not satisfied, Xiangjun just changed it, you must not abandon Xiangjun! On the bed, Li Xiangjun hugged Qin Duan tightly and asked a little sadly.
