Chapter 424: Ink Dust Child
The current appearance of Murong Li and Nalan Qi obviously illustrates this problem.
Murong Li's blushing face and Nalan Qi's slightly well-cared clothes were enough to illustrate this problem.
Under Mo Xiuyan's gaze, Murong Li was also a little embarrassed to turn his face away.
Nalan Qi noticed Murong Li's discomfort, frowned, covered his mouth with a fist, and coughed a few times.
This made Mo Xiuyan retract his playful eyes.
Seeing Mo Xiuyan's no longer playful gaze, Murong Li was also relieved.
She was obviously relaxed, and looked at Nalan Qi with some confusion, as if she didn't know something, and said.
"By the way, how did you get here? Why didn't I see you in the garden? ”
As soon as he said this, Mo Xiuyan showed a playful smile again.
With this smile, Nalan Qi's heart was alarmed.
Sure enough, Mo Xiuyan's next sentence directly lifted his old bottom.
"It seems that you really don't know anything, so don't you wonder who has been at the top of the leaderboard?"
Hearing Mo Xiuyan say this, Murong Li's family was stunned, she looked at Mo Xiuyan and said in a bit of a daze.
"Is it ......?"
Before this sentence was finished, as if to confirm Murong Li's words, Mo Xiuyan immediately said.
"Yes, the one next to you is the Ink Dust Boy."
After Mo Xiuyan finished speaking, he saw Nalan Qi's helpless expression.
Because of the mask, Nalan Qi's expression, Murong Li couldn't really see it.
But from Nalan Qi's expression, it can be seen that Nalan Qi is also a little embarrassed.
It seems that Nalan Qi also feels a little embarrassed about this matter.
This made Murong Li a little surprised, but in the end, Murong Li didn't show a mocking expression.
On the contrary, she felt a little surprised, it was the first time she knew that Nalan Qi still had such an identity, which was really too surprising.
"Kai, how did I not know that you still have this identity, it really surprised me."
Saying this, Murong Li expressed his surprise in a timely manner.
Nalan Qi looked at Murong Li's face, and the trace of awkwardness in his heart was also let go by him.
Looking at Murong Li's curious appearance, Nalan Qi could only tell his past.
"Actually, the name Mochen was used by me when I was wandering the rivers and lakes."
Nalan Qi paused as he spoke, seemed to organize his words for a while, and then continued.
"In order to hide my identity, I went to many places, and in order to collect talents, I used the pseudonym Mochen."
Speaking of this, Nalan Qi seemed to recall what had happened.
When Murong Li heard Nalan Qi's words, he could be regarded as understanding some of Nalan Qi's past.
"So, you came to Beixian Garden in the first place?"
Hearing what Murong said, Nalan Qi nodded, and then said.
"Well, this is a task given by the first emperor, just to meet the new owner of Beixian Garden."
"Huh? There is still a former owner of Beixian Garden? ”
Hearing Nalan Qi's words, Murong Li was even more puzzled.
Mo Xiuyan heard the conversation between the two, but said funny.
"It seems that Nalan Qi really didn't tell you anything, let him tell you about this matter, it stands to reason that I am only the second owner."
Speaking of this, Mo Xiuyan just smiled and didn't say anything.
And Nalan Qi looked at Mo Xiuyan, frowning at her misleading words just now, but didn't say anything in the end.
Turning his head to look at Murong Li, he thought about it before he spoke.
"Listen to me tell you about this."
Beixian Garden, this tea garden, was originally just an ordinary tea plantation, operating a tea drinking industry.
Here, tea is the main business of Beixian Garden.
For the guests of Beixian Garden, Beixian Garden has its own set of screening system.
You need to be received by Beixian Garden, and you need to pass three levels.
That is, located in the Beixian Garden, the trial of the three buildings is called the trial place of the "small imperial examination" by the people of Yunzhou.
Only by passing these checkpoints can you be received by Beixian Garden.
In addition, other people are not eligible to enter the Beixian Building.
The manor of Beixian Garden has a history of more than 50 years in Yunzhou and has two generations of owners.
The first generation of the owner of the garden was a son of the Northern Dynasty, who did not like political affairs, and came to the Southern Shu Kingdom far away from the Northern Dynasty and his family.
used to be a vigilant person of the first emperor, but after knowing that the other party was not threatening, the first emperor let the other party go.
However, there will still be necessary surveillance, and in addition, the other party will be allowed to open the tea house.
And the trials in the tea house have also attracted talents from all over the world to a large extent.
Many talented people have heard of this place in Beixian Garden, as a place of trial before participating in the imperial examination.
Beixian Garden is respected by almost all talents, which is the origin of the name of "Little Imperial Examination" in Beixian Garden.
The reason for this effect is also because of the harshness of the imperial examination.
As a talented person who has no place for trial, he can only participate in some competitions at his or her own poetry meeting.
But a place like Beixian Garden is a place like it.
Naturally, Beixian Garden is like this, and it will soon become a must-visit place for talented people from the Nanshu Kingdom.
This helped the imperial examination of the Nanshu Kingdom to gain a great contribution, so later the first emperor helped the former gardener to break away from his influence.
As a direct result of this behavior, the Southern Shu Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty Kingdom experienced a decade-long war.
It's just that all of this was resolved before and after Nalan Qi was born and the crown prince of Nanshu Kingdom was confirmed.
In the past 20 years, both the Southern Shu Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty were in a stage of relative peace.
It's just that the Northern Dynasty has always robbed their future crown prince of the Southern Shu Kingdom, so they are hostile to the Southern Shu Kingdom.
The first generation of the owner of the garden was actually not the son of a certain family, but a prince of the Northern Dynasty.
Because of his disgust with the Northern Dynasty and his dislike for political affairs, he decided to abandon his identity and leave the country.
Speaking of this, Murong Li asked with some confusion.
"That's why he came to Nanshu Kingdom and opened this tea plantation?"
"Yes."
Nalan Qi sighed helplessly, touched the top of Murong Li's head with his hand, and then affirmed the answer.
"Then when the Northern Dynasty declared war on the Southern Shu Kingdom, it was because they wanted a reason to start the war? Or do you want to reclaim the prince of your country? ”
"I don't know, it's said that the war ended before I was born."
Hearing Nalan Qi's answer, Murong Li thought for a while, and then asked.
"Did the owner of the garden finally get free?"
"Of course, it is said that the first emperor helped him break away from the Northern Dynasty, and then also left the Southern Shu Kingdom."
"Huh? Leaving the South Dawn Kingdom? Isn't this manor his? ”
Murong Li was puzzled again, since he had separated from the Northern Dynasty Kingdom, wouldn't it be a very dangerous thing to leave the Southern Shu Kingdom?
When Nalan Qi saw Murong Li's appearance, he didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to Mo Xiuyan on the side.
Mo Xiuyan saw Nalan Qi looking over, raised his glass with a smile, and then said with a disgusted face.
"That old man has so much to do, he has obviously received so many benefits, and he doesn't want to affect you, he really doesn't know what to do. The old guy left the Nanshu Kingdom before this guy was born. ”
Mo Xiuyan pointed at Nalan Qi and said casually.
Speaking of which, Mo Xiuyan wanted to scold the old man.
When they are gone, they will leave this garden to her.
If she hadn't liked the atmosphere of the Northern Dynasty, she would have quit a long time ago.
"I see."
Murong Li understood all of this.
The reason for this is very simple.
In general, it was the first owner of the garden.
In order to stop the war between the Linan Shu Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty Kingdom, and at the same time, it is also to not drag down the Nanshu Kingdom that helped him.
More than 20 years ago, he left Nanshu Kingdom.
Murong Li understood this, and he also roughly figured it out.
But there are still some details that Murong Li can't understand at all.
"However, why did the Lord of the Moku Garden leave the Northern Dynasty Kingdom?"
When Nalan Qi and Mo Xiuyan heard Murong Li ask, they both fell into a moment of silence.
However, he didn't wait long before he heard Mo Xiuyan speak.
"Let's just say it, there's no one else here anyway."
Mo Xiuyan said this, and the expression on his face seemed to fall into a heavy look.
