Quickly pass through and refuse to be cannon fodder

After opening up a medicine garden, Yuan Jing plans to build another flower garden, and continue to spread the reputation of being good at gardening flowers and plants. Even if it is not for money, it can also gain a good name, which will facilitate future interpersonal communication. I have never seen a civil servant like senior brother , I just love these famous flowers.

The medicine garden was done by him himself, without any help from others, and a fence was built around it. When it was done on the same day, he planted some of the herbal seeds he sent and divided them into small grids. Each grid was ready. mark for his observation.

At this time, he thought of the portable space in those novels that he had flipped through. If he just took a look in the past, after having a portable spring, he believed that such a thing might exist. If it is combined with the Lingquan bead, then His herb planting is even more convenient.

If it is too out of the ordinary to plant it outside, it will always attract the attention of others.

Fortunately, at home now, if he told his family members not to touch them, they would not interfere casually. As for Mu Ancheng, Yuan Jing did not pretend to hide it to death, but let nature take its course. If Mu Chengan found out by himself , which he didn't mind revealing.

That night, Wu Yi came again and sent Mu Chengan's reply letter. Looking at Wu Yi who put down the letter, Yuan Jing had an intuition that Wu Yi would always be the messenger between him and Mu Chengan. Said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Wu stared blankly, didn't understand Yuan Jing's meaning, but replied seriously: "It's not hard work at all."

Just running around to deliver the letter was the easiest job he had done in these years as a secret guard, and then he turned around and left.

Yuan Jing sat down to read the letter, and in the letter, Mu Chengan revised his plan. Yuan Jing saw that it was more comprehensive than he imagined, which would make everything look purely coincidental. It will also make people suspicious of narrow-mindedness, because this is a love affair caused by three people fighting for power and jealousy.

Yuan Jing read the letter several times, and finally sent the letter to the candle and burned it to ashes. This is the safest way, he can't cause trouble for himself and Mu Chengan.

In this way, Yuan Jing waited with peace of mind for the day when this plan would be implemented, and let him see how powerful the plot really is this time.

***

In addition to Di Yu who often came to the door, Yu Xiao and Zou Weiting who came to the capital soon enriched Yuan Jing's social life.

Yu Xiao's family can be described as a scholarly heirloom. There are many people from his ancestors who have been admitted to Jinshi and appointed officials. Even now, his uncle has sat in the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Industry. He is a third-rank official. He was born in such a family. Being educated by his family since he was a child, Yu Xiao naturally has an arrogance that ordinary people don't have.

Zou Weiting's family background is not bad either. His family is the Huaininghou Mansion in the capital. Although Zou Weiting's branch is a collateral lineage, it is not someone who can be bullied. Had a great time.

When he first learned about their family backgrounds, Yuan Jing was also very surprised. His luck was so good, and the two friends he made had such profound backgrounds. Compared with him, he was the most inconspicuous, but this The two friends have been waiting for him equally. Thanks to the help of these two friends in the academy, they were able to find a good outlet for those famous flowers and sell them at a good price.

Of course, he and his two friends are just personal friends, and have nothing to do with Zuo Shilang's mansion of the Ministry of Industry and Huaining Hou's mansion. After coming to the capital, he only handed over a letter to the porters of the two mansions and then did nothing, so as not to be suspected of clinging.

The three of them were very happy to gather in the capital again. After playing happily for two days, they stayed in Tao's house to read books and prepare for the exam. The ones sent by Cheng An are also very useful to them. You must know that Di Rong was born as the number one scholar.

At the same time, Wu Yi handed the first batch of health-preserving medicine pills that had been added to Lingquan water to Mu Chengan, and explained how to take them. Mu Chengan took a pill and was about to throw it into his mouth. Quickly dissuaded: "Master, don't ask someone to check it again?"

Wu Yi was quite skeptical about Tao Yuanjing's 13-year-old Juren's medical skills. Although this person was quite talented in literature and martial arts, given his age, even if he started studying medicine at birth, he could only With 13 years of experience, how can it compare to those old doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades?

But Mu Chengan put it into his mouth without hesitation, and then swallowed it with water, Wu Kan was speechless.

Mu Cheng'an raised his head and said calmly: "I believe in his medical skills. I had such a serious injury last time. I changed to another doctor. It will not heal so quickly, and no doctor can guarantee that my secret illness will be cured."

Mu Chengan believed in Tao Yuanjing for no reason, believed that he could save him, believed that he would not be harmful to him, as if engraved in his soul, he chose to trust his intuition, even though he also knew that Tao Yuanjing had something wrong with him. Less violations.

"Go on, there is no need to say such things in the future."

"Yes, master." Wu Yi stepped back silently, raising Tao Yuanjing's importance to another level in his heart, and he might be treated as a princess in the future.

After taking it like this for a month, the two made an appointment to meet again at the White Horse Temple. Mu Chengan didn't say anything, and Yuan Jing could guess that the White Horse Temple was most likely one of Mu Chengan's strongholds, so he appeared here, and there was no one in the palace. people know.

Yuan Jing felt Mu Cheng'an's pulse again, and Mu Cheng'an laughed at his serious appearance, and he knew from Yuan Jing's performance that he really wanted to take good care of his body. Maybe it was just like what he said. It was the fate between the two of them, maybe it was doomed in the previous life.

"How is my king's health?" Mu Chengan asked after Yuan Jing put away his hand.

"My lord should ask other doctors to look at it. These pills have some effects, but they haven't achieved the results I expected." However, this also proves that using Lingquan water to make medicines is good for Mu Chengan's body. If you use natural medicinal materials to make medicine, and then mix it with Lingquan water, the medicinal effect will be maximized. At that time, those hidden dangers in Mu Chengan's body should no longer endanger him.

"Yes," Mu Chengan teased, "The doctor next to me asked me where I found the miracle doctor, isn't it the little miracle doctor that I sent to my door?"

Yuan Jing blushed a little from being teased, what do you mean he sent it to his door?It seems to be the same, but the old face is a bit overwhelmed: "My lord is not afraid of being troubled by me next time."

Mu Chengan laughed loudly. At this time, Tao Yuanjing looked like a cat with fried hair in his eyes. He was so cute that he wanted to rub it, but this cat would jump up and scratch his paw.

Mu Chengan suppressed his hand that was about to move, and said, "The king will wait and see."

Yuan Jing gritted his teeth, this is because he saw that he would not dare to make trouble, right?I'm going to make myself anxious, maybe where to put medicine so that this guy can't move in bed.

It's really a retaliation, thinking that Zhou Hengjun was often teased by himself in the previous life, and it was his turn to be teased by this guy in this life, Yuan Jing thought to himself, did this person hold a grudge, so he brought it to this life.

"What are you thinking?" Mu Cheng'an suddenly stretched out his hand in front of Yuan Jing, covering his eyes. He didn't like the way Yuan Jing looked at others through him.

Yuan Jing didn't expect Mu Cheng'an to be so perceptive, so he secretly reminded himself, don't blame Mu Cheng'an, who would have thought that he has the memories of several lifetimes, for Mu Cheng'an, he is a native of this world, only the memory of this life.

Yuan Jing corrected his attitude: "I'm sorry, I lost my mind just now, and I won't in the future."

Then Mu Chengan moved his hand away, and knocked on Ji Yuanjing's forehead: "You are so young, what are you doing with all these things in your head? Be careful and hurt yourself."

Yuan Jing smiled, and took over the concern: "No, I am in good health, I have already cultivated my inner strength, and I am improving every day, maybe I can become a master in the future."

"Haha, what do you do for a literati who wants to enter the officialdom and become a master?"

"Doing bad things, such as jumping over the wall and stepping on spots in the middle of the night." Such as what Wu Yi did.

Mu Chengan suddenly approached and said, "Come over the wall of my Zhenbei Palace?"

Yuan Jing's face turned red again, why does this person like to tease himself so much, but he insisted on saying: "Maybe, when I feel that I have mastered martial arts one day, I will go and try how powerful the courtyard wall of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is." .”

Mu Chengan laughed again, and the scene of Tao Yuanjing going over the wall of his courtyard emerged in his mind, which made him laugh for a long time, and he really looked forward to it: "Okay, I will wait."

Yuan Jing looked away uncomfortably, his face was burning, what are you waiting for?Are you really waiting for yourself to climb over the courtyard wall of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion?

He was afraid that he would be surrounded by a row of dark guards before he could get inside, so he didn't believe that the Zhenbei Palace was so easy for people to get in.

The time the two spent together was so pleasant and so short, even though they were often teased, Yuan Jing was still very reluctant to leave, and could only wait for a chance to meet again in January for a consultation.

Mu Chengan was also reluctant, and really wanted to keep this little guy by his side, let him accompany him every day, and only had himself in his eyes and no one else.

Before the next meeting, Tao Dayong, who returned home to pick up his family, brought the whole family to the capital to reunite with Yuan Jing.

The little Niuniu, who was so excited at the beginning, has long since faded away. Yuan Jing took them home and rested for two days before recovering. Then the old lady took the little grandson and daughter-in-law around the house. Her eldest grandson could buy such a big and nice house, which she never dreamed of before.

Yuan Jing took time out to accompany his family around the capital city and familiarize them with the environment here, and then sent Xiao Niu Niu to a school near his home for enlightenment. Although he could read some words at home, he couldn't compare Those who go to school seriously, the old lady and Xiao Song also support with both hands.

At this time, the little Zhuangzi that Yuan Jing asked someone to look for also got it. In the land of the capital, if you want to buy a house or a Zhuangzi, you can't do it without some backers. They have always been used to working hard in Taojia Village, and they will feel uncomfortable if they stop suddenly.

Yuan Jing entrusted senior brother Yu Xiao and Zou Weiting to inquire about this little Zhuangzi, and finally got the news from Zou Weiting that the Zhuangzi was from the residence of the Marquis of Huaining. It didn't make any money, so I wanted to sell it. Yuan Jing looked at it, which was suitable for their house, and the price was right, so he bought it.

When it was time for Niu Niu to rest, Yuan Jing took the whole family to the Zhuangzi to have a look. The old lady and Xiao Song were very excited. In addition to the house in the city, their family could also set up property outside the city. , that land is the root of the common people.

Zhuangzi is at the foot of the mountain, and there is a large piece of slope land, which is not very productive if used for farming. There is a dozen mu of land further down the slope. After building a house and a pond, it can't grow much crops.

Of course, these shortcomings are nothing in the eyes of the Tao family, because they bought a hill in the Tao family village to raise sheep. Looking at the slope now, it can be used to continue the old business of the Tao family. what.

"This village is not bad, and our family's Yuan Jing really has a good eye." The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Dayong quickly raised the sheep and left Tao's Village. Old lady, Alan and I have nothing to do. Panic."

"Yes, what mother said is right, if there is no income, the small treasury will become thinner and thinner." Xiao Song echoed.

The old lady patted her daughter-in-law's hand, looked at the large mountain behind the slope, and asked a farmer who stayed in the village: "Is the mountain behind here owned or unowned?"

Zhuangtou replied honestly: "If there is an owner, the large land behind the mountains and mountains all belong to the North Prince's Mansion in the capital city."

"Zhenbei Prince's Mansion?" Yuan Jing was also surprised, the last time he came with Zou Weiting, he came in a hurry, after seeing it, he went back, so he didn't know about the situation.

The old lady and Tao Dayong and Xiao Song were very surprised. To them, the county magistrate was heaven, but now they want to be neighbors with the dignified prince, and they are a little timid.

The old lady touched her heart and called obediently: "I didn't expect it to be the prince, so it doesn't matter if our family is here?"

Zhuangtou said: "On the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, except for occasional people going into the mountains to hunt, they will not appear at other times, let alone run into our Zhuangzi. Don't worry, the old lady, the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has always been very disciplined."

Although a little surprised, Yuan Jing felt at ease because it was Zhenbei Wangfu, so he persuaded: "Grandma, don't worry, Zhenbei Wangfu has always been the patron saint of our Great Xia, and will not come to care about us little people for no reason. , it can’t be said that because it is close to Zhuangzi in the Zhenbei Palace, it is safer here, after all, the people in the Zhenbei Palace are not easy to mess with, and even petty thieves dare not touch it here.”

Zhuangtou repeatedly said: "Just like what the young master said, there has never been a thief breaking into our Zhuangzi."

The old lady is more at ease now.

Niu Niu came here to have fun, while Tao Dayong was busy planning to raise sheep. In addition to sheep, other animals had to be raised, so that the family's food could be produced from this village. After all, after coming to the capital, I also know that the cost here is not cheap.

Tao Dayong's sheep raising business started smoothly, and the old lady and Xiao Song occasionally came to stay for a day or two, but because Yuanjing and Niuniu were both in the city, they mainly stayed in the city to take care of them. Tao Dayong could only run back and forth, and during this period he did not forget to use the spiritual spring water in the Zhuangzi, otherwise the taste of the sheep raised would be worse.

From Yuan Jing's point of view, today's Tao family doesn't want to be rich and powerful, but can live in peace and stability, because it is obvious that the court has not been stable in recent years, and there is a secret relationship between the king of Zhenbei and the emperor. The Tao family's contests, as well as the disputes between the adult princes, the Tao family should keep a low profile and not attract attention.

There was no further news from Yan Zhifu and Mu Jinxuan, and Yuan Jing was not worried, and he was determined to prepare for the next year's exam. Their whole family also celebrated their first New Year in the capital, and the atmosphere of the New Year has not subsided yet. , The Lantern Festival came again. It was not convenient to live in Taojia Village before. This time the whole family wanted to go out to watch the Lantern Festival. The old lady asked her neighbors that the Lantern Festival in Beijing is very lively.

Yuan Jing went to the street outside early with his family, and various shapes of lanterns had been hung up on both sides of the street. At a glance, the lanterns were as beautiful as stars. The Tao family, who had never seen such a beautiful scenery, were very happy.

Tao Dayong put his youngest son on his neck, Yuan Jing and his mother protected the old lady, and all the family members were with them, because they knew that such a lively night was usually the time when traffickers were active.

They just got addicted to their eyes, and ate some special Lantern Festival outside, and then the old and the young are used to going to bed early, so they took a few lanterns and turned around. At this time, some people may just come out play.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Yuan Jing saw an unremarkable carriage parked on the other side at a glance. When he entered the door, the concierge handed over a letter: "Master, someone sent a letter."

Yuan Jing took the letter and grasped it subconsciously. That's right, there was someone in the carriage that I saw before, and the person staying inside was none other than Mu Ancheng. This letter was also sent by him, but on this occasion tonight, I went out to play. Really all right?

The old lady looked over, patted Yuan Jing's hand and said, "Did your classmate Yuan Jing ask you to go out to play? You go, just come back early, you don't have to accompany me, an old woman."

"This……"

Tao Dayong also waved his hand, pointing to his youngest son who was about to close his eyes in his arms, so Yuan Jingting nodded, watching them all go in, then turned around and came out again, and walked straight to the carriage.

The curtain of the car was not opened, and a voice sounded from inside: "Come up."

Yuan Jing smiled, climbed into the carriage and got in, and sure enough, he saw this man wearing casual clothes sitting inside. When he went in, Wu Yi came out without anyone else around him.

"Why did the prince come here? When did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time? Didn't you send a letter earlier."

The outside of the carriage looks ordinary, but the inside is not simple. Mu Chengan poured a cup of warm tea and handed it over: "Come here to try your luck. I haven't seen the Lantern Festival for many years. No one is interested in it. Someone will accompany me." , I won’t be bored anymore. If you don’t come back, I will go back.”

Yuan Jing didn't know how long he had been waiting here, but fortunately he came back early, but said, "Will the lord follow me to the lantern festival?"
