Chen Mu is a scumbag.

It was in the previous life, and it was in this life.

Even he himself felt that he was a sloppy guy, always flirting with things and being despised by other men.

So he chose to continue to lose his temper and leave the name of "moral gentleman" to others.

What's more, in this feudal society where there are three wives and four concubines, he can be so arrogant and upright.

Unless... the lady comes with a knife.

However, because of this "slag" nature, he was able to achieve gratifying results in the process of attacking Shao Siming tonight.

Although the first date with Shao Siming is not perfect, it is very close to the effect imagined in my heart, at least it has been closer to each other.

With the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, Chen Mu was in a relaxed mood.

Perhaps in order to cooperate with Chen Mu to pick up girls, the notes played under Xue Caiqing's slender jade fingers have become more ambiguous, from sad and graceful to tenderness and sweetness, making the atmosphere full and becoming a qualified tool.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xue Caiqing finally got tired of playing.

After falling the last note, he was ready to leave quietly and give the two people time to communicate in depth.

But Shao Siming suddenly got up from Chen Mu's arms.

I thought the girl was leaving, but I saw her walking to Xue Caiqing and pointing to the guqin with a hint of hope in her eyes.

"Let me continue playing?" Xue Caiqing was puzzled.

Shao Siming shook his head gently.

Chen Mu said: "She wants to learn to play the piano from you."

Xue Caiqing's face suddenly became a little weird. She looked at the girl who was somewhat similar to her in character and said softly: "I'm very tired."

Shao Siming didn't speak, just looked at Xue Caiqing quietly.

This scene made Chen Mu feel very strange. This was the first time he saw Shao Siming take the initiative to approach someone and learn from his master.

This shows Xue Caiqing's charm.

But the problem is, this thing requires talent.

Just like cooking, it looks delicious on the surface, but it tastes life-threatening.

Xue Caiqing turned her beautiful eyes to Chen Mu: "What do you think?"

Chen Mu found it difficult to understand what Shao Siming thought at the moment, but he also knew that the girl would not be easily persuaded. He smiled bitterly: "Don't I know if Miss Caiqing is willing to teach me? The price is free, as long as it is not too outrageous."

"I'm not short of money."

The woman smiled and looked at the noble and pure jade man in front of her, as noble as a violet, and it took a long time to lightly open her red lips: "I can teach her, but I can't be here."

No one doesn't like a delicate girl like Shao Siming.

Xue Caiqing is no exception.

From the bottom of her heart, she was very happy that such a beautiful and unrestrained girl was learning piano from her, but she also rejected girls in such places.

Even if she doesn't care about such a place of fireworks, she doesn't want a pure girl to be polluted by the air.

“I can buy a yard nearby.”

Chen Mu looked generous.

Xue Caiqing said, "Go to your house."

"Um??"

Chen Mu was stunned, looked at the calm woman and nodded quickly: "No problem, you can come to my house anytime. But in the past few days, Xiao Zi'er will go outside to do business and wait for a while before teaching."

"good."

Xue Caiqing nodded and turned around and left the Stargazing Pavilion.

Watching the beauty leave, Chen Mu looked at Shao Siming beside him: "You don't really want to learn the piano, would you? Why don't you learn the flute? I prefer this."

Shao Siming's two rows of curved black eyelashes drooped slightly, looking at the piano in the corner, silent.

"Do you like her?"

Chen Mu's heart moved.

The girl walked to the guqin and gently stroked the strings that were still warm with her jade hand, as if she was feeling the lonely and lonely mood of her master.

"I just realized now that you are a bit like her in some ways."

Chen Mu said with a smile. "It's just that you are born with an empty and indifferent personality, but she has experienced the ultimate love and hate before seeing through the world. Besides, she is a stone girl, and her 'rock cultivation' is much better than those so-called masters."

Shao Siming raised his apricot eyes and looked at the man with a playful look.

Chen Mu waved his hand with a wry smile: "I really can't take down such a woman, so I have no interest in her."

The girl smiled.

...

After the two of them were intimate for a while, Chen Mu took her away from Jiyue Tower.

As soon as I left the pavilion, I happened to meet an acquaintance.

It was actually Mr. Ruan.

Judging from Mr. Ruan's slightly drunken look, it is obvious that this teacher who is usually dignified and dignified also came to drink wine.

After seeing Chen Mu, Mr. Ruan was stunned and his face suddenly became happy: "Mr. Chen?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't see it."

Chen Mu patted the other person's shoulder very well and said with a joke. "I didn't expect that Mr. Ruan, you would come to such a place."

"It's just a man's nature." Mr. Ruan was frank.

His eyes turned to the cold-tempered Shao Siming beside Chen Mu, and he was stunned for a moment. He soon came to his senses and pulled Chen Mu to the side: "Mr. Chen, since he happened to meet you, I want to talk to you about some things."

"Okay, no problem."

Chen Mu was so happy that he saw a teahouse next to him, "Go up and find a place to talk?"

"good."

Mr. Ruan nodded.

The three of them came to the teahouse to find a private room.

Seeing Mr. Ruan looking at Shao Siming but stopping, Chen Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, she is my new wife, it's okay to just say anything."

Mr. Ruan stretched out his thumb and admired him sincerely: "Awesome."

When the waiter brought tea, he closed the door and said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, has there been any progress in the case of Prince Raincao?"

A trace of splendor burst out from Chen Mu's slightly narrowed eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, he whispered: "There is some progress, but... it doesn't matter now."

"Why?" Mr. Ruan was stunned.

Chen Mu casually held the girl's jade hand next to him, and while playing, he said, "Mr. Ruan, you are my friend, so I will tell you frankly that the Empress Dowager in Qingyu County wanted to find the prince because the emperor was about to take charge of the rule. But now that the Empress Dowager has reversed the situation, there is no need for the Prince to appear."

Hearing the other party's words, Mr. Ruan frowned and said nothing.

Chen Mu understood his mood: "I know you are a royalist and are eager to find the prince to be orthodox. But I think it would be good if the people in the world are healthy and maintain their current situation. What if the prince really takes up the throne and turns out to be a fool? Wouldn't this great country be gone?"

Mr. Ruan looked bitter: "Mr. Chen is open-minded. No wonder many officials in the court said that you have no awe of the imperial power."

"I am not from the same world as you."

Chen Mu made a pun.

Mr. Ruan suddenly straightened his back and stared at Chen Mu with a burning look: "Mr. Chen, do you really think that if the Empress Dowager is in power, the people of the world will be healthy?"

"I don't know, but I understand that the policies introduced by the Queen Mother over the years have revitalized the already declining dynasty to a certain extent."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Before the Empress Dowager took power, you know better what the situation of the Great Yan Dynasty is like than me. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly complaining about the people. In addition, external troubles have aggravated, it can be said that this country has gone downhill, right?"

Mr. Ruan nodded: "Yes, all the officials in the court admit that this is true. Everyone knows that the Queen Mother's ruling ability is excellent, but she is a woman from a foreign surname after all. Unless the Queen Mother has enough time to reform the system of the ancestors, how long will it take? Ten years? Twenty years? Fifty years?

The establishment of a dynasty is by no means simple to build a house. It is made up of countless systems stacked. When someone wants to fundamentally change the system, it indicates that the dynasty is about to destruction.

The inheritance of the royal bloodline is the greatest system that no one can change.

The Queen Mother is not a saint, she also has her own selfishness.

She wanted to be the first queen in history, and she wanted to put the Great Flame Dynasty under her feet and re-establish a dynasty that belongs to her.

But her enemies are not only the factional officials in the court who opposed her, but the people of the whole world, because everyone has accepted the old rules and systems. When one day it suddenly changes, will the people live with peace of mind?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly and said in an indifferent tone: "You are thinking too much. Most ordinary people actually care whether they can live a good life. They don't care who is in power."

Looking at Mr. Ruan's red cheeks, Chen Mu patted his shoulder and said, "Lao Ruan, you are looking at affairs from the perspective of an official. I suggest you go to the bottom of the people to take a walk more and change your perspective."

Mr. Ruan smiled and shook his head, and sighed.

He knew that he could not speak Chen Mu.
