Sheng Shi Merciful Light

In fact, what good things has Mu Ci not seen?He has no concept for a long time. He just thinks that these "antiques" have historical heritage value, represent Chinese culture, and should be kept well. As for the price, he doesn't care.

He didn't stop Bao Yuan from ordering people to display some. The general environment has been like this since ancient times, and everyone needs things outside of the body to increase their status. Otherwise, Mu Ci would even have to display some for decoration.

Mu Ci opened her hands to let Heshun dry them with a fine white cotton cloth before walking to the desk.He Shun went out with the basin in hand.

Wei Zhong stayed by the side all the time, seeing that the King of Changle was free, so he came forward to greet him, and introduced the prince whom His Majesty obviously loved, in a very gentle and even cautious tone: "Your Highness, this is Wang Xianggong. , is a bachelor sent by His Majesty to teach you how to read."

Wang Youlun stepped forward and bowed in salute: "My humble minister sees Your Highness."

Mu Cixin said: "It's just the knowledge of reading and writing. Why did the Emperor of Heaven kill chickens with a sledgehammer and call a prime minister to teach him how to read?"There must be a reason for it.

But Mu Ci's mood has always been calm and seldom disturbed, and his face is even more calm. Others will never be able to ascertain his thoughts from his expression.He bowed and bowed his hands: "I have seen the teacher."

Emperor Tianshou has sent a ceremonial supervisor to teach him some ancient etiquette. As he is, he does not need to bow down to his teacher, but only needs to perform the etiquette.

Mu Ci also observed that it is not popular for Daxing to kneel down and salute, but bowing is more common.Kneel unless you make a mistake.Even as a servant in the palace, Heshun is equivalent to a slave. It was only the first time he knelt down when he met the Emperor Tianshou, and afterward he only bent down to greet him...

Mu Ci had doubts in her heart, so she directly asked the inner supervisor of Si Li.

People who had contact with him knew about Changle King's temperament. He was indifferent and lacked human touch. He could turn his face faster than a book, and he was so imposing that no one dared to offend him.But maybe it was the simple environment in the cold palace that made King Changle simple in character, straightforward and honest, he didn't care if he choked to death or not if he said anything.If you have any questions, you can ask them directly, and you don't have any twists and turns such as "seeking someone to inquire in private" or "making side-effects".

Such a master is not easy to serve, but it is reassuring, because if it is good or not, people will tell you directly, don't worry about being secretly hated, when will you look good.

The Inspector of Rites was also ordered by Emperor Tianshou to popularize common sense with King Changle.

Only then did Mu Ci know that in this time and space, although there are kneeling salutes, there are only nine prostrations on formal occasions, and there is no need to kneel and prostrate at ordinary times.Because in traditional Chinese culture, in ancient times, people sat on the ground with their knees bent, that is, they knelt relative to each other and knelt on each other as equals.

Kneeling has not been carried forward by the grassland barbarians. It is not as perverted as treating everyone as a slave. In order to distinguish between superior and inferior, the low-ranking people bow down to the high-ranking ones at every turn. Even in the braided dynasty, the teacher kneels down for the prince in class of.

In the Daxing Dynasty, you only need to kneel down to worship the king on formal occasions; kneel down to heaven, earth and ancestors during sacrifices, kneel down to Gaotang (parents) at marriage, and students bow down to teachers for the first time...

Usually there is no need to bow down.

Huaxia's spine and knees have stood upright between heaven and earth since ancient times.

This made Mu Ci quite satisfied. He came from a modern society where everyone is equal, and he always advocated fairness.He doesn't like to kneel down, and he doesn't like to make people kneel down at all times.Even the Emperor Tianshou, Mu Ci didn't intend to bow his head and kneel before him.

Not only because the things and mistakes that the emperor did to the original Ninth Prince, an innocent child, were no longer worth bending his knees.It was even more because he didn't think the Emperor Tianshou had any qualities worthy of his worship - so what if he was the emperor?

……

Wang Youlun likes the calmness of Mu Ci's brows and the calmness of his actions.

But when encountering misfortune and humiliation, there are few who are not paranoid and gloomy, psychologically twisted and difficult to serve, and although the young man in front of him has a dull temper, his eyebrows are stretched and peaceful, and he is not gloomy.

He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.

As a teacher, he could have received a salute from the students, but because of his status, he bowed back with a half salute.

Mu Ci took it sideways.

After a salute, both parties sat down.

There were few people waiting around Mu Ci, so he went to pour water gently, Wei Zhong was very self-conscious, and immediately took over the job of serving, and served tea to the two.

Mu Ci glanced at the tea porridge boiled in a pot with salt and spices. He was not interested in anything with a strange taste.Wei Zhong winked, and immediately withdrew the cup of tea and poured a glass of water instead.

Mu Ci took a sip of clear water, the unpolluted water was very sweet, which made him look a little more relaxed.Seeing it in Wang Youlun's eyes, he immediately made up his mind-the loneliness in the cold palace, probably the misery of having no tea and only clear water, which made his heart feel even more distressed.

Wang Youlun also changed a glass of water himself.

Mu Ci naturally did not miss Prime Minister Wang's "considerateness", and there was a trace of relief in his eyes.

Wei Zhong took a few more books for King Changle and put them on the desk.

Wang Youlun suppressed his surprised expression, it turned out to be only some Mengtong's reading books, such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Surnames", and "Thousand Character Classic", he had a bad feeling, and asked cautiously: "What books has your Highness read? "

Mu Ci lightly pointed to the stack of books: "Never read it."

Wang Youlun feels distressed.

Five-year-old children have read the "San Zi Jing" and can at least read a few lines of poems, but a prince who is 16 years old has never read a book?

Wang Youlun asked again: "How many characters can you recognize?"

Mu Ci pursed her lips and did not speak.The characters here are in traditional characters, and some of them are different from the ancient Chinese characters.

Wang Youlun immediately thought that he could not read, and he was afraid that there would be no one in Leng Gong to teach him, so he stopped asking, for fear of hurting the young man's self-esteem.I felt really sad.Wang Youlun's throat rolled up and down a few times before he managed to control his emotions, pretending that he didn't ask anything.

He remembered the expression hesitant to speak when Emperor Tianshou invited him to give a lecture, and said earnestly: "Zhenglun (Wang Youlun's words), I owe Jiulang a lot. When you teach Jiulang, you have to...be patient."

Really, I owe too much.

Mu Ci's brain domain has evolved. Although this dilapidated new body has just started practicing spiritual arts and has a weak sense of aura, he still has the background of the sixth level of spiritual arts. It is rare to see through it. Feeling sorry for him, being considerate in everything, not hurting his self-esteem, I was a little puzzled when I received this kindness in my heart - they were strangers meeting for the first time, where did this prime minister get so much warmth for him?

Could it be that the one who can climb to the position of prime minister is a good old man who is born with a kind heart?

Wang Youlun took a copy of the "Three Character Classic", opened the book and faced the King of Changle. He looked upside down and began to read it word by word with his hands: "At the beginning of a person, nature is good." Afraid that the King of Changle would not be able to remember, he pointed to read a few more times. Over and over, like treating a three-year-old grandson at home.

The indifference on Mu Ci's face loosened a little. He stretched out his finger and began to read word by word: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind. Personality is similar, habit is far. If you don't teach..." Catchy, not like People who haven't read it keep pointing out, "It's the fault of the father whether to raise or not to teach..."

Mu Cicai withdrew a gentle smile from the corner of her mouth, returned to her expressionless face, retracted her fingers and stopped reading.

Wei Zhong frowned slightly—didn't King Changle say he couldn't read?He is lying to His Majesty?To coax His Majesty to read the residence newspaper to him?

However, Wang Youlun was only pleasantly surprised. Like his three-year-old grandson reciting a new poem, he briskly encouraged him: "Your Highness, it's quite a good read. Haven't you read it before?"

Mu Ci thought for a while, and said: "It's not that I don't know a single word. Besides, it seems that my mother taught me to recite this book when I was a child... It's been more than ten years. I thought I had forgotten it, but I didn't expect... some things It's not that I forgot, it's just that I can't remember it for a while."

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Zhong didn't know why he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Youlun said heartily: Concubine Chen is a good mother, just like the old wife in his family.But dare not boast in person, because the concubines in the palace cannot speak rashly in the mouth of the courtiers.He touched the two pairs of shoes in his arms again.

Mu Ci's expression was indifferent, and she pointed at the bulging lump in Prime Minister Wang's arms, and asked, "What's in your arms?"

Wang Youlun didn't expect Changle Wang to ask this question, his always quick-responding brain froze for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Mu Ci said: "You have touched it five times since you entered the door. Something important?" After a pause, he added, "If it was for me, you can take it out."

Wang Youlun regained his quick mind, and asked with a slight smile: "Why do you guess so, Your Highness?"

"The teacher was giving a lecture, and he hid something in his bosom, and his clothes were all bulging and deformed... Disheveled clothes are disrespectful, and you will not be so rude. You touched the things in your bosom a few times, and then looked at me, with a hesitant expression, which can be seen Hesitating whether to give me the thing in my arms."

Wang Youlun was pleasantly surprised by Changle Wang's keen insight, and he smiled even wider, saying: "Please forgive me for being rude, these are two pairs of shoes that my old wife rushed to make overnight, and asked me to present them to Your Highness." Take out the platform shoes and present them.

Mu Ci didn't answer, her eyes were indifferent, and the darkness was like a cold pool: "Why did your wife make shoes for me?"

Wang Youlun said: "The Xie family in the family, when she was not married, her boudoir name was the word 'Wang'."

"Wang?" Mu Ci searched for memories and murmured, "Ah Wang, my mother's sister, my aunt?"

Wang Youlun nodded with a smile.

Mu Ci asked again: "Auntie made this for me?"

"Yes, this thing is shabby, I'm afraid it won't fall into His Highness' eyes."

Mu Ci was a straightforward person without any shyness, immediately took the two pairs of shoes, stood up, and bowed to Wang Youlun: "My nephew has met my uncle." In this way, a prime minister was sent to enlighten him, and he was inexplicably full of affection for him. There is an explanation for the strange situation.

It turns out that he has the identity of uncle.

Wang Youlun didn't expect Changle Wang to recognize his relatives so simply, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't dare! Don't dare!" But after receiving the family gift, the smile on his face was even bigger, as if he was watching his own polite and promising family younger generation.

The king of Changle, handsome, intelligent and sharp, but it's a pity that the beautiful jade was not well carved when he was a child, and it was abandoned. It's a pity, a pity...

Mu Ci was no longer indifferent, and his eyes overflowed with a touch of surprise—he was born lacking in emotions, and after decades of ups and downs in the world of mortals, there was little that could touch him.But it's not impossible to touch, some pure and beautiful things in this world can still make Mu Ci feel happy.

Therefore, Mu Ci's indifference is really indifferent, and she won't hide her emotions when she is happy.What to deal with yourself in order to prevent others from discovering your preferences or weaknesses... Mu Ci doesn't have this concept, it is a skill that only the weak need to have.

With a relaxed and happy expression, Mu Ci took two pairs of black fine cotton platform shoes and studied them.The upper is black muslin.Mu Ci didn't know that cotton planting had not been popularized in this period, and fine cotton was a rare thing.A small circle of the Ping An swastika pattern was embroidered on the upper of the shoe, and a layer of fine cloth was sewn inside the shoe to prevent the embroidered pattern from rubbing your feet.The soles are thick and the stitches are fine, which shows that a lot of effort has been put into them.

Wang Youlun was slightly embarrassed, although he also likes to wear cloth shoes at home, they fit and are comfortable, but these are vulgar, how can they catch the eyes of the prince?So he shyly said: "Your Highness, don't dislike these shoes. These shoes are a bit vulgar. They are made of cotton and are not elegant. My lord..." Just as I was about to say that I don't need to wear them, Mu Ci smiled at him... This beautiful and holy shoe God, the sheer joy and smile is really captivating and dazzling.

I'm afraid that in order to make him smile like this, she would give everything to him, give him her heart.

Although, Mu Ci may not necessarily like it.

"I like it very much!" Mu Ci said, without being waited on by anyone, she took off her brocade and satin sandals by herself, and put a cloth shoe on her feet as soon as she put it on and stretched it.

A prince of gold and jade doesn't need to wear shoes by himself.Wei Zhong quickly reached out to snatch the shoes from Mu Ci: "Your Highness, the villain will wear them for you." But Mu Ci waved them away.

After wearing and stretching again, Mu Ci stood up and took a few steps.He smiled and praised: "The cloth shoes are comfortable to wear."

Wang Youlun saw that he had received two pairs of cloth shoes, and immediately put them on happily. He was happier than receiving countless treasures from the Heaven-sent Emperor. It can be seen that this child knows who is sincere, with a pure heart, sincere and true.

Wang Youlun became very fond of King Changle, and said happily: "That's what the family says. It's not that there is no brocade at home. I asked her to make brocade boots for His Highness. The family said that thick-soled cloth shoes are the most comfortable, and they are for my nephew. , I don’t want to look good, I just want to be comfortable at home.”

Mu Ci nodded: "That's the reason. There are all kinds of shoes in the palace, but the homely shoes are not so comfortable."

Wang Youlun thought: His old wife said the same thing when making shoes: "There are all kinds of shoes in the palace, but there is no pair of shoes, which are more comfortable than cloth shoes."

The blood relationship is really amazing, as expected of two uncles and nephews, the theory of cloth shoes is so the same.

For a moment, the softest part of Wang Youlun's heart was also touched, his good feelings turned into sincerity, and he asked tenderly, "Does it fit?"

"Fit."

Wang Youlun was happy for his old wife, and it was not in vain. Every time the old wife came to visit, he saw that there were fifteen or sixteen teenagers in other families, and he would stare hard at his feet, and because his family had a fourteen or fifteen-year-old daughter who hadn't The marriage was settled, so that people thought that the Wang family had a quirk when looking at their son-in-law, and they only looked at their feet.

He Shun came in after pouring the water, and was told by Mu Ci: "Take these shoes quickly, put them away properly, and keep them to wear slowly."

He Shun took another pair of cloth shoes and left with a silly smile.

Wang Youlun hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you like it, we will always make it for you at home."

Mu Ci shook her head: "Don't tire Auntie, doing this will hurt your eyes the most. I will keep this thought in my heart. Uncle thanked Auntie for me first, if in the future..."

But neither of them knew what was going to happen next.Mu Ci is not 100% sure that he can do it, so he usually doesn't talk about it, so he didn't go any further.

Wang Youlun was well aware of Changle King's situation, and his heart became softer, and he smiled and looked at Changle King and didn't care.

Just in time, He Shun put away the shoes and came over, gently helped Mu Ci's arm, and reminded: "Your Highness, are you going to the clean room?" Calculate the time, don't be afraid to...

"En." Mu Ci nodded.

Wang Youlun felt strange.

King Changle went to the clean room more frequently and for a long time, and the clean room was not far from the study, so he didn't hear any sound of running water.But no matter how strange things were in the palace, it was beyond his ability to ask, so he pretended not to notice anything.
