Chapter 65: The Gathering of Storms (1)
Since being taught the art of war by Mr. Qingyun, Mu Qingwan feels that she is really unheard of in some aspects. Although I have learned to do business in the past few years, I have broadened my vision a lot, but I don't know much about some basic common sense.
To study the art of war, the most basic thing is to understand the characteristics of the distribution of cities, the topographical characteristics of various places, the distribution of populations, and so on, and to fully understand the environment, which is a necessary condition for officers and men to accurately arrange their troops and arrange their formations.
Mu Qingwan borrowed a few relatively complete geographical illustrated books from the library, and in the past few days, she has been studying and analyzing them against the map.
Unfortunately, this dynasty did not have detailed and accurate maps, many of the territorial maps were very vague, and even the geographical things marked in some places were actually wrong. It's like some rivers in Pingcheng that Mu Qingwan is familiar with, and the map is actually marked with forests.
Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to refer to other books, such as customs, regional biographies and even various travel notes, for comprehensive comparison. Mu Qingwan thought that her uncle and mother's business were all over the place, and the businessmen who came into contact with her had traveled from south to north and saw a lot, and in the future, she had the opportunity or could start from them and slowly draw a complete map. The current situation is turbulent, and I don't know what the future holds. But with accurate maps, marching and fighting can be an extra guarantee. Give it to your grandfather or uncle, and your family will have more peace of mind.
Mu Qingwan has been in the room for a few days, writing and painting all day long.
"Miss, it's bustling outside, there have been a lot more visitors in the past two days, guess what's going on?"
Jixiang and Ruyi can only stay in the place where the female guests live on weekdays, and the two don't like to do academics very much, so they are really boring.
"Oh? What's going on? Mu Qingwan continued to write, and asked without raising her head.
"Hee-hee, it's a storm. The subordinates inquired, Qingyun Academy will hold a Fengyun meeting every five years, and not only the students of Qingyun Academy, but also other well-known academies in the entire Dajing will send representative students to participate, and I heard that the four talents will also be selected. ”
Ji Xiang smiled and explained to Mu Qingwan.
"The subordinates also heard that there are ten academies participating in the Fengyun Meeting, and Qingyun Academy mainly sends invitations according to the situation of the previous examination, and each academy selects three people to participate, but the top three Qingyun Academy and Tongren Academy in Dajing can have five people, and the royal academy will also have the prince to attend on behalf of the imperial court. Fengyun will set up a variety of projects for competition, and the selected outstanding ones are all outstanding talents, not only have the opportunity to stand out in the examination, but also be very beneficial to their future careers. ”
Ruyi couldn't help but interject.
"Yes, yes, yes, there is still a chance to participate in the Four Nations Tournament. The age of the students participating in the Fengyun Club can only be between fifteen and twenty years old, and I don't know if the eldest young master will participate. ”
"The eldest young master will definitely be."
……
Listening to the two girls, you and me, talking about the Fengyun meeting with great interest, Mu Qingwan couldn't help but stop writing.
Fengyun Society? I've heard of it, but I just walked through it five years ago, and I didn't notice it, but this time it was a coincidence, and I don't know how my brother Mu Chen planned it. Mu Qingwan is reluctant to come forward in everything, but a man has made meritorious contributions, and his brother should think differently from himself.
"Alright, clean up, it's time for me to go to my husband's class."
Mu Qingwan got up and instructed the two girls to clean up their desks.
There were indeed a lot more people coming and going from the academy, and Mu Qingwan came to wait outside Mr. Qingyun's study as usual. Wait until the little guy signals, and then go in.
The vice president is reporting to Mr. Qingyun, and the content is probably about the preparations for the Fengyun Meeting. Mu Qingwan took the book, found an inconspicuous position, and sat down silently to wait.
"Okay, okay, you can arrange things, what can I worry about."
Mr. Qingyun was a little distracted and urged the vice president to leave.
"Yes, the student knows." The vice president is a young man who has only been standing for a long time, and he is respectful to Mr. Qingyun.
"Little girl, are you here? Come on, today we will continue to talk about governing the army. ”
Mr. Qingyun beckoned to Mu Qingwan.
Seeing this, the vice president bowed and retired, and glanced at Mu Qingwan before leaving, but did not speak.
……
After class, coming out of Mr. Qingyun's study, Mu Qingwan thought about it and planned to go to Mu Chen.
Since Mu Qingwan entered the school, Mu Chen also moved to a separate courtyard to live, which can be equipped with a small servant, so he brought Hu Zhao into the academy as well.
Mu Chen's residence, at this time, there was only Hu Zhao alone.
"Where's my brother?"
"Miss Hui, the eldest young master has gone out to meet friends."
"Oh, then I'll wait here. Will my brother participate in the Storm Fair? ”
"The candidates for the Fengyun meeting will be announced three days in advance, and the subordinates don't know."
"Okay, I'll look for a book."
Mu Qingwan went straight to Mu Chen's study.
……
"Sister, how long have you been waiting?" Mu Chen finally returned.
"I'll take the book back in a moment." Mu Qingwan raised the book in his hand.
"Of course, I went to meet a few of my classmates. Has my sister heard of the Fengyun Society? ”
"I just heard about it today, so I came over to ask my brother, does my brother want to participate?"
"Mr. Fan Yao recommended me to participate, but I refused." Mu Chen's decision was unexpected by Mu Qingwan.
"Why? I thought my brother would fight for it. Mu Qingwan was very surprised by Mu Chen's plan.
"There is news from my father's side, whether I can return to the capital is at this time, students from all over the Fengyun Association have participated, and the capital will also send representatives at that time, I don't want to attract attention, extraneous branches. At critical moments, we still need to be cautious. Although Pingcheng is comfortable, he was too embarrassed when he left, his father had planned for ten years, and it was not easy to return to the capital, but it was time to settle some accounts. ”
Mu Chen explained the reason to Mu Qingwan.
"It's still my brother's thoughtfulness, it's my negligence. It's just that it's a pity to miss such an opportunity, otherwise with my brother's talent, I will definitely be able to fight, and my brother has discussed this matter with his father. ”
"I haven't yet, and I don't plan to tell my father, I don't have to care about the gains and losses at this time, besides, I have been coming to Qingyun Academy for a long time, and now is not the time."
"That's good, it's good that my brother has decided."
"Well, when the time comes, we can go to watch the game, the disciples of Qingyun Academy are qualified to watch the game on the spot, and I heard that the five students of the first batch of female schools will also have the opportunity to attend the scene."
"Really? That's nice. Mu Qingwan felt that the opportunity was rare, and it was also a good experience to be able to watch the game.
"By the way, Pingcheng has a letter again, I'll show it to you." Mu Chen got up, took down a box from the bookshelf, took out a thick envelope and handed it to Mu Qingwan.
Mu Qingwan took it, opened the envelope, and all the people in the Mu Mansion wrote letters.
Second Master Mu praised Mu Qingwan for following Mr. Qingyun to study, and then wrote a lot about the current situation of Pingcheng, and finally wrote that the flowers in Mu Qingwan's yard needed to be taken care of, and the family was also very worried and looking forward to reunion......
Mrs. Mu was much more direct, and expressed her thoughts about Mu Qingwan directly, and then wrote how much jewelry she bought for Mu Qingwan, how many clothes she made, and so on.
Mu Yan told Mu Qingwan that his martial arts had improved again, and there would be no problem in going out with Mu Qingwan in the future, and he could protect his sister, and expressed his envy for Mu Chen sourly.
Mu Lan, the little group, just started learning to write, and wrote a few big words "miss my sister" crookedly.
Suddenly, Mu Qingwan missed Pingcheng and Pingcheng's family.
