Sheng Shi Merciful Light

The courtyard for the eldest grandson in Prince Ding's Mansion is very large, and it is named "Chunsun Courtyard", which means "springing bamboo shoots after rain, full of vitality".As the name suggests, this is a bamboo garden, full of green and tall bamboos, which grow too high, and the top has been bent over, forming a natural umbrella on the top of the yard.

The courtyard was quiet, and because Mu Ci didn't like strangers, Mu Ruosong never called back the servants and maids, leaving only a cleaning boy.The little boy was sitting under a bamboo tree in the yard, dozing off with a broom under his pillow.

From the courtyard gate to the main house, there is a long bluestone path with bamboo still planted on both sides.

The furnishings of Mu Ruosong's room are very simple, the front hall is a place for receiving guests, it is ordinary and restrained, not gorgeous.The main wing room is very large, but there is no decoration, only two swords and some calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall.

The pattern of the furniture is not complicated. It is a big and strong bed with simple light blue bed curtains.

Mu Ruosong's life does not emphasize enjoyment, but is simple and self-disciplined.

Chunsun Courtyard is very close to Wenzhi Courtyard.One day when Mu Ci sat cross-legged on a newly hung oversized swing to meditate, he heard Wang Ziguang's zither sound like mountains and flowing water when he practiced the guqin.

The technique is a bit jerky, but the sentiment and emotion contained in the sound of the piano are full.And...it's the Guqin song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" from Huaguo, which makes people suddenly feel homesick.

Mu Ci opened his eyes, and he could see the nearby high-rise building among the mottled bamboo shadows. His eyebrows were like distant mountains, lightly containing autumn water, and the corners of his lips curled up gently: "Zi Ren, is it Suo'er playing the piano?"

Mu Ruosong stood by and answered after hearing the words: "Mr. Xi likes Suo'er's guqin practice the most. If he is in love and full of emotion, it should be him."

"I can't tell, but he is spiritual." Mu Ci said.

"Suo'er has excellent qualifications, and is willing to endure hardships. He works hard, and he will surely achieve something in the future."

"Sister Chaoyang is so lucky." Mu Ci praised her.

Mu Ruosong smiled: "Auntie is also suffering. The child was born prematurely, with a cold syndrome in the womb, and he could hardly support himself. He was bedridden in bed every day. Suddenly, his health recovered overnight, and he was alive and kicking, only then did he discover his eccentric nature , Thinking and affectionate, often have novel ideas. Sometimes..." Mu Ruosong subconsciously glanced at Mu Ci, "He doesn't look like a child..." Especially when you can understand and close the weirdness of your words.

Mu Ci smiled again, and had no choice but to take the blame for his fellow countrymen, saying: "Children are easily influenced, and there is no restriction on their thinking. I think that 'the best way to cultivate talents is to start from a baby', so you don't need to restrict his mind and actions too much." , leave him alone."

"Understood." Mu Ruosong said, "His Royal Highness, it's time to drink the soup. Today is Bazhen soup." Mu Ruosong brought a Gubu soup to Mu Ci's mouth.

Ever since he accidentally blurted out the word "Ruo Que" last time, scaring Mu Ruosong's white hair, he never wanted to call Mu Ci's name again, even in private.

Mu Ci has a sloppy mouth and a sloppy nose, aside from her face, she doesn't like medicinal food.

In the end, Mu Ruosong had no choice but to see Mu Ci's still pale and bloodless lips, so he swallowed the tonic soup himself, blocked Mu Ci's mouth like a clamshell, pried it open, and poured in half a bowl and the other half bowl, two people It was wasted when the lips and tongue were entangled on the swing.

This guy, every time he drinks the soup, he is so virtuous, he doesn't want to play with him, does he?

okay.

Mu Ruosong admits that he also likes it very much, and hopes that Mu Ci will always despise Butang...

After Wang Ziguang finished his day's homework, he played cuju with his cousins ​​in the palace, perfected the rules of the game, and by the way, promoted the first cuju competition when he and his cousins ​​rushed to the door.

In fact, without his publicity, every move of the King of Chu is the focus of attention.

As soon as this man came out of the palace, he first went to Taihe Building to eat... Taihe Building officially launched stir-fried dishes. Everyone wanted to try the new dishes instructed by the legendary King of Chu, so the Taihe Building was full every day and almost collapsed.

Then he ran to Dingwang's mansion to rescue Dingwang, and then played... He actually asked Dingwang's children to organize some Cuju competition.

Letting those who have expectations of him gear up to do it with him, and those who are afraid of him gearing up to do it against him, are quite speechless...

But Mu Ci knew that he had become the focus of the world, but he didn't care.There are so many boys in Prince Ding's Mansion, and there is no shortage of monkeys. Mu Ruofeng even relied on seeing Mu Ci, so she pestered her to go to Chunsun Courtyard to play with Mu Ci.When Wang Ziguang carefully looked at Mu Ci's face and asked if he could invite his cousins ​​to come over to play... Unexpectedly, Mu Ci agreed without hesitation.

A group of monkeys took Chunsunyuan as their base and came here every day to play Cuju.Mu Ruosong wanted to stop Mu Ci for fear of disturbing him.But Mu Ci was very patient with the child, and didn't think the child was noisy, and occasionally kicked a few times along with him.His physical strength is not as good as that of a child, but fortunately, his skills are extremely high, and his fancy kicks have attracted more than a dozen fans of the young kings and grandchildren.Although Silang Mu Ruobin was depressed because of his father's accident, he was a playful person at heart, so he used a wheelchair to push Erlang Mu Ruobai, who had a splint on his leg, over to watch the fun.

Seeing the chair with wheels, Mu Ci subconsciously glanced at Wang Ziguang, Wang Ziguang blushed, and said, "It's not me, I just... just casually mentioned it to my fourth cousin, it was his own thought... Of course I... helped a little bit." Wang Ziguang was extremely weak in his previous life, and he often used a wheelchair.

Mu Ci tugged at his braid: "I know I'm embarrassed, but it means I still have a sense of shame."

Wang Ziguang: "...not again."

……

Although he had fun every day and saw idols every day, Wang Ziguang did not forget to write one hundred "Yong" characters every day. Because Su Yan recognized him as a closed disciple, his calligraphy practice paper had to be sent to him every few days. Give Su Yan advice.

The fifth day of September is the first holiday after the imperial court announced the new working hours system.Wang Ziguang just took advantage of the teacher's vacation and sent calligraphy practice paper.

After Su Yan commented, he asked Wang Ziguang, "What have you been doing lately?"

Wang Ziguang was very clever, knowing that he wanted to ask the king of Chu, because Su Yan was upright and a gentleman would not spread rumors, so he said that the king of Chu was not injured, and the purpose of organizing the Cuju competition made Su Yan even more speechless... …

The mountains stand still.

Su Yan simply didn't know how to express his endless admiration, and wanted to directly contribute his knee.Suppress the memorabilia that is going to be submitted tomorrow, impeaching the king of Chu for not doing his job properly, and advocating unhealthy practices.

Wang Ziguang went to touch Su Yan's feather pen to use it. Su Yan remembered that it was also the first craftsman made by the king of Chu. He felt that children like new things, so he asked, "Have you used it? What do you think of this pen?"

I heard that the records of the Ministry of Households and the accounting officials are all in use.

"It's easy to use, the brush is soft, but this one is hard, easy for beginners to master." Wang Ziguang said.

Although Su Yan couldn't hear someone saying that the brush is not good, but he was able to listen to opinions, so he suppressed his mood and asked: "What else?"

Wang Ziguang rolled his eyes and said: "This pen is easy to make and cheap. There are a few chickens, ducks and geese at home. There are pens. Teacher, many children from poor families cannot afford pens and paper. This pen writes small characters. , and it doesn’t cost paper.”

Su Yan let out a long sigh...

Easy to master, convenient and cheap, save paper, with these advantages, enough, completely defeated brush calligraphy.

Wang Ziguang knows the future trend. The higher the level of civilization, the more people feel that time is not enough, and they pursue simplicity and speed. The future trend will develop from quill pen → fountain pen → ballpoint pen and neutral fountain pen.

But he didn't say it, because he was afraid that the teacher who loved calligraphy all his life would be sad.

Wang Ziguang also thought of Mu Ci's fairy posture holding a quill in his hand, and felt that the biggest advantage was that it was suitable for acting aggressively, and he would definitely become popular among the children of aristocratic families in the capital and the dandy boys.

Su Yan was clear in his heart, and sighed again: "This brush has many benefits, and if things go on like this, calligraphy will soon decline."

Wang Ziguang knew that the decline of calligraphy is certain in the future, so he could only persuade him: "Teacher, the development cannot be stopped, but you can think of the best. In the future, anyone who learns calligraphy will love it very much," without shame. Pointing at himself, he pointed, "It's better than forcing some people who don't like calligraphy to practice."

Su Yan: "..." Sudden hand itches and wants to beat up the student, is it swollen?

In the end, Su Yan let out a long sigh, with a sense of relief, and said: "A small pen is beneficial to the prosperity of education and prosperity of the country. If it is because of my pedantry, it will hinder..." Then he smiled wryly, and patted Wang Ziguang's Shoulder, "It can't be stopped, you're right, 'development can't be stopped'."

Wang Ziguang looked at his calligraphy teacher with a new perspective.

Yes, Su Yan is a real scholar and master.He has considerable attainments in the field of literature, but he is never proud (really not proud); he has a tireless academic attitude;

Devotion to the truth is awe-inspiring.

Mu Ci saw Su Yan's nature early on, so he was always very patient and trusting to him.

"There may be calligraphy with hard pens in the future." Wang Ziguang knew that hard pens could not compare to the artistry of brushes, so he just chatted for comfort, so he quickly changed the subject, "Where's Brother Min?"

The person who asked was Su Yan's only remaining son, Su Min.

Su Yan didn't smile, and said: "The unfilial son went out early again, saying that he was holding a poetry meeting with his classmates." There was no way to hide the pride in his eyes for his outstanding son.

……

Because the new emperor ascended the throne, there was an Enke as usual, so students recommended from other places began to pour into Tianjing City. Various poetry and literature clubs in Tianjing City often gather. Fortunately, students do not pay attention to working behind closed doors, but pay more attention to exchanges and mutual verification. Learning is also a good way to make friends and accumulate contacts.However, it is still in the period of national filial piety, and everyone will not feast and feast.

The reason why Su Yan is proud is that the "Suiyuan Poetry Society" that Su Min joined is the oldest poetry society in Tianjing, and even in China. According to legend, King Lu of the Han Dynasty built a Suiyuan in his fief. There are many bamboos in the garden, and it was specially used as a place for banquets for literati. Later, the "Suiyuan Poetry Association" has been passed down to this day and has become the top poetry group in Daxing.

Those who can join don't ask about their identity or background, they only ask about their talents and learning. Only the top and truly talented students can join.

Similarly, literati are lofty, if they don't have real talents and learning, even princes will be looked down upon by the poetry society and cannot join.

Now King Qinghe is the chairman of the Poetry Club, but he is not at home all year round, and the 20-year-old eldest son Mu Yunge presides over it.

Mu Yunge was born like a father, and was titled a child prodigy since he was a child. He began to write poems at the age of seven.

Both father and son were leaders of the scholarly class.

Su Min being able to enter the "Suiyuan Poetry Association" is indeed something that all parents should be proud of.

……

Because there were no important government affairs to deal with, Mu Ci took sick leave for several days in a row. The obvious reason was that "playing Cuju was so fun that my waist was sore and my legs hurt and I couldn't get up."

Mu Zun was really helpless, painful and distressed, so he had no choice but to close his eyes.And the courtiers also said that it is good that the King of Chu does not go to court... With the King of Chu around, everyone is under great pressure.So there is no urgent matter, it is better not to invite the ultimate big boss behind the scenes.

You know, the big bosses are always the finale.

Naturally, Mu Ci had a deep meaning in doing this.

One is that he does not want to put pressure on Mu Zhan and the courtiers; the other is that he will send a copy of the daily agenda of the court meeting to him, and it is not important (if Mu Ci does not go, how can there be important things?); He is not interested in daily government affairs, so he can just leave it to Mu Zhan to do the hard work, so he didn't touch his hands early in the morning.

Leaders are all at the helm, just grasp the general direction.

After Mu Ci came out of the palace, she didn't have to worry about calculating people's hearts every day, but just enjoyed the considerate care of her lover, played for a while when she was happy, and slept and ate when she was full. She really lived a fairy life.

The only thing that makes her unhappy is the tonic soup that Mou Yu asked Cui Yuanshi to cook and Mu Ruosong to feed.

Fortunately, the quality of food is improving day by day.The imperial chef Qin Shan also felt that he was in no danger and that he was in charge of the house, so he exploded with great enthusiasm.He also learned from each other with a few dedicated chefs of the foodie Xianshizi, and confirmed each other, and his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

In ancient times, there were many aristocratic families who embroidered, made incense, and cooked recipes...they all had the rule that their ancestral craftsmanship should not be passed on to the outside world, but when they met Mu Ci, a stranger with little common sense, he didn't stick to Qin Shan teaching others how to cook, but only told Qin Shan to protect knowledge Property rights, tuition fees - exchange secret recipes or money, and do not allow others to spread it out without permission.

In Mu Ci's view, cooperation is a win-win situation. Whoever has a new method, everyone should study together and improve together is the real progress.

Likewise, the protection of intellectual property rights is extremely important.Innovators must be benefited in order to have the material and spiritual basis for continued innovation.

The concept of patents must be cultivated from the very beginning.

In short, the result is that the food in the palace is getting better day by day. Needless to say, Mr. Xian has gained weight, and Mu Ci has also gained weight, which is gratifying.

Mu Ruosong "feeds" Mu Ci to drink the tonic soup, and the two of them changed their wet clothes, affectionate.

But no matter how close they are, they only stop at kissing. Until now, the two of them have been very well-behaved, pure and harmonious, and have not had any further contact.It often made Mu Ruosong, a youthful and impulsive boy, blush and shy but also feel empty and dissatisfied, his heart itched, and he couldn't say he was uncomfortable.

You can't jump on your own, can you?

Sometimes Mu Ruosong loses his mind and wants to pounce... But he is afraid of blaspheming the male god, so he controls himself with inhuman willpower.

Mu Ci's body couldn't bear it either.

Mu Ruosong would rather be tormented by spring dreams every day, sneaking into the cold water, and dare not, can't bear to go one step further.

God knows how attractive Mu Ruosong's serious and abstinent appearance is in Mu Ci's eyes.But both of them are a bit "not yet ready" in terms of physiology, psychology and external environment.Mu Ci is so rational that he is cold-blooded, and doesn't do much to stir up flames.

……

Of course, Mu Ci doesn't just eat, drink and have fun, he will definitely take what he should do seriously.If you are energetic in the morning, start to do business.Mu Ruosong is his chief official, in charge of the government orders of the Chu Palace, and in charge of all affairs of the Chu Palace.

At this time, Mu Ruosong reported one by one.

"Secretary Wei reported back that Heshun had completed the investigation, because he was your only personal servant, and the late emperor strictly controlled him, and did not let him be bribed, or have his family members restrained to harm you, so that day he It must have been an accident." Mu Ruosong had been with Heshun before, so he knew that he was a little idiot, and getting lost and falling was a common occurrence.

Mu Ci was holding a glass of clear water, wicker sticks and green salt in the other hand, and kept rinsing his mouth, and heaved a sigh of relief.He didn't want that silly boy Heshun to end badly.To be fair, even if He Shun, a stupid child with no possessions, was bribed and coerced, it was all because of him.

"Send Heshun back, still serve me closely, and take care of his family."

Mu Ruosong agreed and wrote it down on paper.

Mu Ruosong said again: "The interior of Chu Wang's mansion has been completely repaired. According to your Highness's instructions, there was no major action. Only wider and higher walls were built, and some new utensils and daily necessities were replaced."

Because King Shou has the reputation of "good enjoyment" and is a well-known garden expert in Tianjing City, the architectural design and decoration of Shouwang Mansion are extremely ingenious, and it is the best mansion in Tianjing City and even Daxing.

Mu Ciguang looked at the blueprint and ordered not to waste it. He only replaced it with a safer concave-convex fence, which is good for defense.

Mu Ci checked the construction drawings and asked, "Is the courtyard wall made according to my drawings?"

"Yes, the project is relatively large, and there are defensive fortifications such as arrow towers. The Ministry of Industry asked the Ministry of War to do it together. The new minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Ye, asked for instructions and wanted to use your drawings to try to build this kind of defensive wall in the northwest urban area."

"No!" Mu Ci said.

Mu Ruosong hesitated a little: "King Hanshan also posted a message to see you, and he stated that it was for this blueprint."

"No!" Mu Ci put away the toiletries and said, "Sell!"

Mu Ruosong: "..."

He needs to get used to Muci's mode switching between leader and businessman at any time.

"Tell them that area expansion is another design method. I can give them city defense design drawings, but not in vain. I am used to getting things from me for free, and my appetite will grow more and more in the future, and it is easy to cause resentment." Mu Ciyou changed from a businessman model to a leader, saying, "Not only me, but as long as it is an innovative technology, people must get used to the 'fee' model. Protection of patent property rights is also the cornerstone of the country's sustainable development."

The defense wall of the cold weapon era designed by Mu Ci in a certain laboratory with complex calculation methods in her previous life was placed in a certain game for testing, and was verified as the "King of Defense", but the cost was relatively low.

It was the era of nuclear weapons, otherwise history would be rewritten by Ah Ci.

Mu Ci originally wanted to use it for the Ministry of War, so he made a fuss on the wall of the Chu Palace. It seems that Yang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, and King Hanshan are both people who know the goods.
