Mu Feiyan hummed absentmindedly, looking at everything he had seen and letting go of his thoughts. Sheng Duhao meant that he was living a good life, and he should have been well, right... Why should there be regrets...
The coachman Ma San didn't notice the master's abnormality and was still exclaiming excitedly. He was curious about everything he saw and liked everything he saw. He kept sighing: "Shengdu is different! Master, will we live in Shengdu from now on?" Ma San
San's tone revealed unspeakable expectation.
Mu Feiyan looked outside and nodded lightly, but his mind drifted away, looking at the faces walking on the bustling street, looking at the young people with jade-faced and light-shirted clothes among the many pavilions, and realized that not only the things here were attractive, but also the
People are also very different.
Mu Feiyan put down the car curtain and looked at it calmly. He thought he was good-looking, otherwise he wouldn't have caught the emperor's fancy in the first place, but so what, he might have been outstanding in Heji, but in Shengdu
, he is like a seemingly rare carp, but in fact it is a worthless pet kept in the backyards of wealthy families in Shengdu. Perhaps it is not even considered a pet, but can only be a decoration.
What can he do when he comes back like this! It would be better for him to stay outside, breathing without his breath, and he would be in a trance when someone mentions him occasionally. Now he doesn't even have the courage to return to the emperor, so what else can he say...
…[
The carriage stopped at Xinsufu.
The young coachman Ma San once again let out a familiar exclamation: "Master! The two lions are really big, they must be made of copper! Wow! They are bigger than the ones in front of the prefect's mansion, and the door is also beautiful. No wonder they say that the rich family in Shengdu, just this threshold
The height is beyond our reach." Ma San realized that he had used an idiom, and he didn't know if it was the right one, so he scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
Mu Feiyan dismounted without correcting Ma San for mistaking the guardian beast at the door. Looking at this extraordinary gate, he felt a little uncomfortable, as if he could no longer see the people in Heji County who waded hundreds of miles barefoot just for the sake of it.
A river clerk looking for water barriers.
"Go and submit the post."
After a while, someone came out respectfully and enthusiastically, and asked people to help carry the things on the carriage, and welcomed the guests inside: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, but my master was waiting for you early in the morning, but who knew the river path?"
Suddenly something urgent happened and I called the master away. Mr. Mu, please sit down for a while. I think the master will be back soon." As he said, the servant had already climbed into the top Biluochun.
"The old lady is ill and is not suitable to see you, Mr. Mu Haihan. Because the lady is mentally ill, it is not easy for me to make the decision for you to see me. You might as well wait here for me," the steward said sincerely.
Mu Feiyan nodded apologetically: "The housekeeper is helpful." He was a little worried about Aunt Su's condition. They were still unmarried at their age, so they had a natural tension and conflict with their old mother.
Mu Feiyan thought of his mother at home and took a sip of tea absentmindedly. He accidentally understood tea and couldn't tell the quality of it.
Su Shuiqu didn't understand either, but it was just given to him by his superiors. He thought it was a good thing, so he asked Feiyan for it.
Ma San followed the master obediently, resisting the curiosity in his eyes and not daring to look around. After the man who looked like a butler left, Ma San's eyes immediately flashed with wonder: "Master, master! It's really big here. I just counted the little ones."
After passing through the door and walking through the garden to get here, it takes... it takes... oh, I can't count the laughs, but it still takes a lot of steps and a long walk!"
Mu Feiyan looked at him with a smile: "Do you like it here?" He rescued Ma San from the prefect's mansion on his way to Shengdu to renew his post, so he asked him to follow him to Shengdu. It was inevitable that he would be curious.
Ma San kept nodding: "I like it, I like it! The master smiles so beautifully, hehe, it would be even better if I could live here!"
Mu Feiyan's face froze for a moment, does it look good? Only when he sees it more will he know what is really good-looking!
Mu Feiyan dismissed his fleeting thoughts, but smiled without saying a word. This house matched Su Shuiqu's official position, and there was nothing beyond it. Even the furnishings in the hall and the layout of flowers and plants outside were not out of place, even faintly...
Despite the majesty of the house, he still felt that this was not Su Shuiqu's character.
Considering Su Shuiqu's personality, he would rather live in an inconspicuous courtyard than live in an important official residence.
Mu Feiyan waited from morning until noon. At noon, the housekeeper diligently delivered the meal, which was from the best restaurant in Shengdu. However, Su Shuiqu had not returned after lunch.
The housekeeper couldn't stop laughing. He said he wanted to take a look and ran out as if he was running away.
Ma San had disdain on his face: "Sir, is Mr. Su really a fellow countryman of yours? Did you really tell him that you arrived today? Why have we waited so long and yet we haven't seen him come to see you, sir? Do you think we came at the wrong time?"
Mu Feiyan looked at Ma San displeasedly, with anger on his face for the first time.[
When Ma San saw this, he immediately shut up and lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sir..."
Mu Feiyan waited for a long time from noon to evening. It was not until he turned on the lamp that he heard the summons from outside that Su Shuiqu had returned.
Su Shuiqu didn't even have time to change his clothes and hurried to the main hall. His anxious voice could still be vaguely heard in the hall: "How is Master Mu? Are you taking good care of him... I didn't ask you to take Master Mu back to your room. Why?"
I asked the adults to wait in the hall..." Then there were even more hurried footsteps.
Mu Feiyan thought of many scenarios for the two of them to meet, such as how they knew each other and how they could communicate because of that past? But he really didn't expect this. When he saw Su Shuiqu coming in, Mu Feiyan was stunned for a moment.
Then, he laughed.
Su Shuiqu felt very embarrassed when he was laughed at, but then he smiled boldly: "If I had known you were like this, I would have washed up before coming here."
He went to the dam. It rained again yesterday, and it rained for a while in the afternoon. However, he had been working in the swamp. He hadn't eaten all day, and he was covered in mud and mud. He didn't need Mu Fei.
Yanxiao also knew how embarrassed he was.
Su Shuiqu ignored his laughter and took a sip of hot tea without hesitation: "I'm so thirsty. I haven't been idle all day. Uncle is preparing dinner."
"Yes, sir."
Su Shuiqu spontaneously explained: "Although we have enough manpower now, and there will be Mingjing students this year who are young and motivated, but I wonder if we are used to working hard and are not born to be officials and order people. I can't help but think
If you do it yourself and delay your brother, damn it, damn it."
Mu Feiyan had no grudges to begin with, but now that he was like this, he only had feelings. In a prosperous city, even if Su Shuiqu said it was easy, he probably still had to deal with officialdom disputes. Like the two of them, the higher they climbed, the more important they were.
Be careful, a little carelessness can be fatal.
The food came quickly. Su Shuiqu was really hungry. He forgot to show humility to his parents in the past: "Hurry up and let me serve you!"
Mu Feiyan is not a polite person either. He is a person who doesn't have many rules when he comes out of two small places. He just hugs things and chews them like the prince did before when he came to Heji County.
Not speaking after eating is not a rule they should master. In Heji County, perhaps in many places, the dining table is used for talking.
Su Shuiqu talked about things in Shengdu while eating, and finally reminded him succinctly: "Anyway, be careful. You got up by impeaching hundreds of officials and adding political history. These can affect the whole body, and Sheng won't be able to do it."
There are many people who are convinced, including you and the emperor..."
Su Shuiqu did not explain: "Now they will not move you for the sake of the emperor. You must not let down your guard because of this... maybe when..."
Su Shuiqu didn't know how to express it. This kind of thing could only be understood but not put into words. Just like the emperor had gone out of his way for him, those who were looking for trouble would respectfully calm down for a while, but the heat would always fade away, and those who found it would not hesitate to take advantage of it.
He would relax and keep an eye on them. He was idle the last time he was impeached. Now it's hard for him not to do it personally. He can't guarantee that there's no one in his team who doesn't like him and could make things difficult for him.
The first fluke will not happen again. He is not relaxed at all now. He wishes he had ten more pairs of legs and tied himself to the river!
Su Shuiqu concluded: "Working in the official department is a job that offends people, so be careful in everything you do."
Mu Feiyan nodded in understanding, and suddenly thought of the house in Shuiqu. Isn't it a testimony of careful survival? No matter how much the emperor looked at it, he couldn't stop others from criticizing them if something really happened to them. As officials, they
The last thing I want is to see him worrying about them: "I understand..."
Su Shuiqu said, just understand. From now on, we will work together in Shengdu. If something happens, he will be able to help. It’s just... ah... he’ll have to taste that feeling before he says: "You can live here, I
A small courtyard has been separated and a side door has been opened for you. The servants have been found for you. It is close to your Yamen, so you don’t have to look for a house again. That’s it. I can’t say no.”
Mu Feiyan laughed: "Just now I told Ma San which yard is suitable for you to choose!"
…
The next day, Mu Feiyan was renewed. He was not given time to rest and recuperate. The Ministry of Personnel had already officially issued a document to renew his position today.[
Mu Feiyan was sent out the door with a strange look in Su Shuiqu.
Mu Feiyan actually felt that Su Shuiqu was making a bit of a fuss. Doesn't it mean that if you renew your position early and if you renew your position late, you have to renew your position? There is nothing wrong with renewing your position early!?
After entering the official office, Mu Feiyan somewhat understood the strangeness in Su Shuiqu's eyes. There was nothing wrong with it. The whole reception process was extremely smooth. I can't say smooth, but enthusiastic. Everyone was very enthusiastic. Many related procedures were not even required.
He ran errands and took care of them. What he thought he couldn't do all morning was solved in half an hour.
His future colleagues enthusiastically sent him back to the carriage. Mu Feiyan didn't find anything strange about it, except that it was done too quickly. But after the carriage traveled a street, he found that he had forgotten the letter at the table where he filled in his place of birth.
superior.
Mu Feiyan hurried back to get it, and then he understood the meaning in Su Shuiqu's eyes. As soon as he stepped into the door of the official department, he heard a faint voice coming from inside.
"I don't think anyone in Heji County could find anyone outstanding at that time. Someone like Mr. Mu is considered one of the best. You haven't seen that his eyebrows are longer than those of your beautiful concubines."
"Master Hu, you don't understand this. If you have long eyebrows, you don't necessarily have to be liked by the boss. I think it's a comparison of the pros and cons. Master Mu is like a phoenix in Heji County! He is a rooster in Shengdu!
Ha ha"
"Haha! Is your mouth damaged? Don't forget who you hugged me, I'm not afraid of having your mouth sewn up!" He didn't dare to say 'sleeping' and the other party couldn't afford to offend him, and then he tutted and said: "He has good skin.
, I saw it when he was writing his place of birth on his sleeve, the one with tender skin and tender flesh is definitely better than your concubine!"
"I'll spare you the trouble! I've already cultivated myself to support the ancestral tablets. I talk nonsense all day long. Be careful of the day you say something 'chaotic'!" The voice that spoke was an older one, with a rather disapproving tone.
Mu Feiyan recognized that it was Mr. Xu who had just brought him the form, a very dignified old scholar.
But obviously Mr. Xu couldn't suppress them.
"Didn't you step forward to look at me just now? Why are you pretending to be noble now? If you are really noble, stay at home and take a rest today and don't look at the stranger! Haha! Isn't that right, brothers?" Mr. Hu stared closely at the door that suddenly opened.
I was stunned, he...why...came back...
Mu Feiyan looked at them with a smile and a polite expression. Qingyun Danyue learned this from someone he respected. He said, "I've disturbed everyone's enjoyment. Come down and get your things." Then he put on his clothes.
Looking at the many frightened faces, he held the household registration in his hand and said to everyone as if he suddenly remembered something: "I want to say hello to the concubines of your family. You are very lucky. I don't know how many of you have married."
, I’m so envious.” After saying that, he closed the door calmly and didn’t even look at them a second time!
After the door was closed, everyone immediately knocked over a lot of things as if they were frightened. The voices of "What to do?" and "I'm dead" kept reaching the ears of Mu Feiyan, who had not walked far away.
Mu Feiyan's expression was cold, his usual gentleness and humility were gone, and he was exuding displeasure and anger. After so many years of experience in the field, there was no day when he didn't lick blood from the edge of a knife. He was not like Su Shuiqu who could swallow his anger: "
Ma San." Mu Feiyan lifted the curtain.
"master."
"Stop when you see an inn with a sign." She said and took out a black handkerchief embroidered with red flowers and showed it to him.
"Good master, please take a look."
Su Shuiqu didn't go to work today and was waiting in Mu Feiyan's courtyard to comfort him. Seeing that he came back like nothing happened, he couldn't help but feel surprised for a long time. He wanted to ask him something but was afraid that he would be too sensitive and ruin Feiyan's mood in vain.
When he really couldn't see anything wrong with Mu Feiyan, he was ready to wait until later, so he reminded with a smile: "The palace has also come to give instructions. I will go to the palace to express my gratitude after my renewal."
Mu Feiyan's expression changed in embarrassment when he heard this, and he asked cautiously: "Is everyone in the palace okay? I heard that the prince has been in a bad mood recently, and I saw the Imperial Guard arresting people on the way back."
Su Shuiqu shook his head: "It's okay, those people are on official business, and the palace is very nice." It's just... well, I know this from experience, unless you don't care about people in high positions: "Let's go in the afternoon."
Mu Feiyan looked at the sky outside. It was still early. "Why not go now."
Su Shuiqu smiled stiffly at the corner of his mouth, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and asked helplessly: "Mr. Mu, are you really unaware or didn't expect that the Emperor will definitely let you have lunch when you go to the hospital at this time, and... today... today Sun
Sir Xiu Mu, Young Master Ziche is also in the palace." After Su Shuiqu summoned up the courage to finish speaking, he looked at him with a wry smile, do you still want to go?
I'm afraid I won't be able to swallow this meal.
Mu Feiyan was embarrassed to understand Su Shuiqu's hint: "Where's Su Yi, is he also in the palace?" Su Yi would not worry about hiding each other's faces.
