I raised my hand and lightly slammed it on the courtyard door three times, and waited for a moment, but there was no response. I glanced at Du Xiuzhen, knocked three times with heavy force, and listened to my face for a long time, but there was still no movement.

"Hehe, I'm afraid Qin Cha is not here." I smiled helplessly.

"Get out of the way!" Du Xiuzhen was anxious, stepped forward in two steps, picked up her fist and smashed it towards the courtyard door: "Brother Mu, Brother Mu, open the door!" I know you're in there! ”

The courtyard door was "squeaked" by her, and she was afraid that it would suddenly fall. Obviously, the door was locked from a bolt inserted inside, and Xiao Mu should be inside. But why did you avoid such a big movement? Are you really hiding from this girl?

"Open the door! If I don't open it again, I'll find someone to tear down the door! Du Xiuzhen shouted.

I held back a laugh, this girl is really not simple, she actually wants to open the door of Qincha!

"Presumptuous!" A scolding from behind.

I looked back: "Dragon catcher!" ”

"It's you!" Long Yuhan also recognized us, and the anger on his face eased: "Is there anything urgent?" ”

"Oh, the dragon catcher. I have something important to do with the Chincha. Du Xiuzhen looked at Long Yuhan pleadingly, and her face flushed with urgency or heat.

Long Yuhan pushed the door: "You are shouting so loudly, if Qin Cha was here, he would have heard it a long time ago." ”

"There's a bolt on it, where else can he go if he's not inside?" Du Xiuzhen firmly believes.

"Chin Cha often does this, bolting the door inside, and then climbing the wall and sneaking out." Long Yuhan said, a little helpless, his eyes fell on me: "He doesn't look like an official at all." ”

I also smiled: "What Long Zhutou said is right, if Liu Jiabao hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have thought of Xiao Mu and Qin Cha together." ”

"Woo woo woo, Brother Mu, where have you been? Do you hate me that much? Du Xiuzhen suddenly squatted on the ground and cried.

Long Yuhan and I were taken aback by her formation, this girl, how can she still look like a child.

Just as I was hesitating how to comfort her, the door opened, and Xiao Mu appeared in a gray cloth shirt that had been stripped. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and glanced at us coldly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Brother Mu, you finally opened the door!" Du Xiuzhen jumped up, her feet couldn't help jumping twice, her tears didn't have time to be put away, and the smile on the corner of her mouth had already spread, making people stupidly unable to tell whether she was crying or laughing for a while.

"Envoy, Dr. Du just said that he had something important to see." Long Yuhan bowed his body and bowed.

I suddenly realized that Xiao Mu is a Qincha, so do I have to bow too.

"Long Yuhan, you go get busy. You two come in. Xiao Mu said, and went to the courtyard.

"Yes." Long Yuhan replied, nodded at me, and retreated.

I saw that Du Xiuzhen couldn't wait to run in, and I hurried to follow.

The courtyard is not too big, and there is only a stone table and a few stone benches in the middle, which is cold and lonely.

When I saw the door of the room in front of me open, I stepped into the room and was even more surprised. There was only a desk and a chair in the whole house, a bed in the corner, and a row of bookshelves between the bed and the desk, and more or less furniture, and I didn't even see a box for clothes.

"Brother Mu, it's autumn now, are you cold to cover such a thin quilt at night?" Du Xiuzhen helped Xiao Mu clean up the bed, distressed.

I touched the bed, not only the quilt was thin, but even the mattress underneath was extremely rough, and it was not even as comfortable as my bed, I really don't know how he slept every day.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold." Xiao Mu said, flipping through the book, but he didn't look at us properly.

Is this embarrassing? What kind of books are you reading at this time?

I thought about it, and snatched his book over: ""Taibai Poems"? ”

"Well, Li Taibai's poems, just take a look at them when you have nothing to do."

I flipped through it carefully, the paper of this poetry book is unusual, it should be very precious, the poems in it are actually handcopied, the handwriting is beautiful, and there is a faint fragrance of ink, it seems that the poet should have made a lot of effort.

Xiao Mu took the book back: "This was given to me by King An when I left Beijing three years ago." ”

"Huh? Sent by King An? Du Xiuzhen packed up the bed and gathered around curiously: "This is the poem that King An copied for you?" ”

"Yes."

I was a little skeptical: "Really? I heard that King An was the most favored prince of the Emperor Taishang back then, and three years ago, the whole country chose a concubine, and there was a lot of scenery. Your relationship is so good that he copies poems for you? ”

"Of course." Xiao Mu said proudly, pointing to the bookshelf behind him: "When I went to Yiling as an official, King An also sent someone to send me a painting from afar." ”

I could see that he had a large collection of books on his shelves, and two of them were placed in the most prominent place.

Du Xiuzhen picked up one and opened it, and instantly exclaimed: "This is painted by King An!" It's so lifelike! ”

"Don't touch this!" Xiao Mu put down the poetry book, took two steps forward to snatch the portrait, hung it on the wall respectfully, and bowed three times.

I looked at the portrait, and Xiao Mu on it was also dressed in a gray robe, wearing a hood, holding a scroll, and the book was full of anger. Compared with the little Mu in front of us, as Du Xiuzhen said, it is really vivid. It was as if Xiao Mu had just come out of the painting, or rather, Xiao Mu had walked into the painting.

"It's so similar! Is this also what King An painted for you? I asked cautiously, wondering how deep their friendship really was.

"Nope." Xiao Mu denied it: "This painting is from the hand of the painter Saint Wu Daozi, and it is not me, but my father." ”

"Huh?" Du Xiuzhen looked at Xiao Mu, and her eyes fell on the painting again: "This is Ling Zun?" Li Jianghu, you see that Brother Mu and his father are exactly the same when they were young! ”

"Hehe, that's right, I don't know and I think it's the same person." I also sighed from the bottom of my heart.

Wu Daozi, I have heard the name of this person, it is said that he is the most famous painter in Chang'an, and he often goes in and out of the palace to paint for the emperor's relatives, since Xiao Mu is a close friend of King An, it is not surprising that he can be invited.

"My father was ...... when he was young Hehehehe......" Xiao Mu gently stroked the portrait, suddenly laughed, and when he looked at us again, his eyes were already filled with tears, and his voice was a little choked: "My father has always been very young...... Because, when he died...... Only twenty-five years old......"

"Brother Mu......" Du Xiuzhen's originally excited face instantly became gloomy, and her mouth muttered a few times, not knowing what to say.

Twenty-five years old...... Untimely death!

My heart also trembled, I thought that I had lost my father since I was a child, it was tragic enough, until I met Mrs. Mu and learned that she was actually a posthumous child, and I was sad for her for a while, but I didn't expect Xiao Mu to be the same as us.

His father was only twenty-five years old when he died, and Xiao Mu was only five or six years old at most, perhaps, the tragic life experience he told us before was true, he may be the same as Mu Niangzi, and he had never even met his father.

Hey, it's really connected by fate, no wonder he wants to be friends with me, is there a reason for this?

"My father was killed by thieves, and the night before he packed his bags and prepared to go to Beijing to take the exam." Xiao Mu continued, his tone calming down.

I don't know how he calmed down so quickly, he said it lightly, but my heart grew heavier. The day before the test...... Ay!

"Brother Mu, that ...... Do you know who the killer is? ”

Xiao Mu smiled faintly at the portrait: "Of course." Three years ago, I was named on the gold list, and King An was originally going to ask the Emperor Tai to find me an official position in Chang'an. It was I who insisted on asking to go to Yiling to take up my post, in order to find out the murderer of my late father. ”

"Revenge?" I saw that he seemed to be indifferent, and boldly speculated.

To tell the truth, Xiao Mu sometimes makes people feel that there is something wrong with their brains, and sometimes they are both true and false, and the preface does not match the afterword, but he is indeed very smart and capable.

"That's a must." Xiao Mu said with certainty: "The revenge of killing my father is not shared, of course I will not let them have a good time."

Hey, don't you ever care about national affairs? Three years ago, the Anshi Rebellion broke through Chang'an, Yang Guozhong was broken into thousands of pieces in Maweipo, Li Longji lost the concubine and King An, and went through a lot of hardships to Shu, but the crown prince Li Heng went north to Lingwu and became the emperor, and he could only be forced to become the emperor.

Hehehehe...... Hey, I also heard that now, although Li Heng has taken Li Longji back to Chang'an from Shudi, he is said to be support, but he is actually under house arrest. Once the Son of Heaven becomes a prisoner, it is really better to live than to die! ”

"Brother Mu!"

"Hey, Brother Mu is cautious!"

Du Xiuzhen and I were shocked, this Xiao Mu, how can he talk and say nothing, as a messenger, it is just a matter of discussing state affairs with us ordinary people, how can we still call the name of the emperor and today's saints? And make fun of it? Isn't he afraid of killing his head?

I coughed twice and quickly diverted the subject: "Okay, okay, the past is over, don't mention it." Hey, since you're now receiving us as a friend and a visitor, that's what you're like? Don't invite us to a cup of tea? ”

Xiao Mu glanced at us, walked to the door like a sudden realization, and shouted: "Come on, serve tea!" ”

In an instant, sure enough, a little guy came over with three cups of tea.

Looking at the steaming fragrant tea, I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that although the place where he lives is simple, as long as he is told, there are still people waiting for what should be there. But with his brain, shouldn't he find Li Huichun to show him?

Du Xiuzhen took a sip of tea, opened another scroll on the bookshelf, and read: "What a 'high mountain and flowing water'!" ”

In my opinion, this should be the character that Xiao Mu just mentioned. I don't know much about calligraphy, oh, in fact, to be honest, I don't know anything, but aside from the font or anything, just look at the four big characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dance, I feel that it took a lot of time to write.

There are also two vertical rows of small characters on the left: Gift to Friend Mu You, April 18, 14th year of Tianbao, Li Xu.

I have heard the story of "Mountains and Flowing Water": Boya plays the piano and listens to it. At first, the sound of the piano was like a majestic mountain. After a while, the sound of the piano was like a rushing wave. The sub-periods are all clear, and they have become Boya's bosom friends. After Ziji's death, Boya broke the piano and broke the strings, feeling that there was no bosom friend in the world like Ziqi who was worthy of playing for him.

Li Xu, it should be the name of King An, is he a self-proclaimed Yu Boya? Xiao Mu left Chang'an, and King An had no confidant, so he asked someone to go all the way to give Xiao Mu a picture of a word in Yiling.

It's been three years, and this character is still intact, and Xiao Mu also brought it to Xiangzhou, which must be regarded as a treasure. It's a pity that the audience is still there, but the person who plays the piano can no longer be found.
