Chapter 25
"You have made such a big mistake, and it will not be easy to show off in Jinling anymore. I plan to send you away from Jinling for a while."
"Really?" Liu Mu raised his brows with joy and nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, it's all up to Dad!" After being confined at home for so long, he can finally go out to get some air.
Master Liu said, "However, life may not be as comfortable as at home."
"I'm not afraid even if it's hard or tiring. It's not like there's a saying that when the heavens send a great mission to the dead, they must bite their bones first... Nothing..."
Master Liu sighed, "What should I say?"
Liu Mu smiled and said, "That is to say, if God wants to entrust a person with an important task, he must first let him experience the experience of biting off his flesh, cramp and dismantling his bones, and being tortured to death.
Master Liu shook his head and said, "It is indeed time for you to go there and study hard."
"Where are you going?" Liu Mu waited expectantly for Master Liu to reveal the answer, thinking that he must be sending himself to a new place where a semicolon should be opened.
Master Liu said, "Now the emperor is recruiting students from the Son of Heaven. He intends to open more imperial examinations and open an academy in Huguo Temple. You have caused a big disaster now. If you continue to show off in Jinling, you may cause people to talk about it. Go to the Huguo Temple Academy to study. .One is to avoid the limelight, and the other is that Dad also hopes that you can study hard so that you can get a good reputation in the future. Counting six generations of our Liu family, we have never entered an official career."
Liu Mu opened his mouth halfway, as if he had been slapped severely, "Father, since it is an academy established by the emperor, it must not be something ordinary people can go to casually."
Master Liu smiled and said, "It's natural. Those who can go there to study are the sons of nobles or officials, or they are the top talents in various counties. It is said that those who are close to Zhu Chi are close to Mo and those who are black. Learn more from them."
Liu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I am neither a nobleman, nor a son of an official, nor a top scholar. I can't even recite a complete poem. Isn't it very close to those people? went!"
Master Liu said, "You don't have to worry about this. Your grandfather was a close friend with Abbot Benji of the Huguo Temple, and this time Huguo Temple has another condition. If you are willing to donate 1000 taels of silver as a disaster relief fund, you can also go to Huguo Temple." study at the National Temple Academy."
Liu Mu pouted, "1000 taels is so much! Huguo Temple is quite good at doing business. Dad, can I not go?"
"Such an opportunity, so many people can't wait for it, and you still push it back and forth. Didn't you say that you should study hard when you become a relative? Isn't the opportunity coming now?"
Liu Mu drooped his head, wishing to slap himself a few times, but then he thought that if he went to the academy, Emperor Tiangao would be free from control, so he immediately smiled and said, "I listen to my father, my son just go."
Master Liu said again, "Wanran, Mu'er has always been indifferent to things, and he will inevitably cause trouble everywhere, so I think you will go to Huguo Temple Academy with Mu'er this time."
Liu Mu hurriedly asked, "Can women also go to Huguo Temple?" When Liu Mu heard that Yu Wanran was going, he immediately felt dizzy.
"Of course not..."
Before Master Liu finished speaking, Liu Mu hurriedly said, "Since it can't be done, then let her go. I'm not a child who doesn't do things properly, so I don't need to take care of her."
Master Liu ignored Liu Mu, and said, "Wanran, you also like reading, why don't you pretend to be Liu Mu's cousin, so that you can read and take good care of Mu'er for me."
Yu Wanran smiled and said, "Father really thought it through."
Liu Mu hurriedly said, "No way, dad, one more person will add 1000 taels of silver! Forget it, forget it, or I'll go by myself. Besides, Dad has spent a lot of money to manage the government during this period. I think we It’s better to keep everything simple and save a little bit.”
Master Liu said sharply, "Don't think that I don't know what you're planning. I've already sent someone to go to that row over there first, and you two will leave in the day after tomorrow."
Liu Mu stood aside with a sad face and watched Xiangyun busy to pack things for herself.
"This is medicine for wounds, this is Dieda wine, if you usually have a cold or something, take this pill right away, and this bottle of medicine is..."
Liu Mu said, "Xiangyun, why are you preparing so many medicines, I'm not going to open a medicine shop."
"You've been here for two years. If you get sick, what can you do?"
"Don't worry, I'm as strong as a cow, so I won't get sick. Besides, there's no daddy's cane there. I wish I could go there soon."
Xiangyun whispered again, "This bag contains coats, and I have hidden all the things for menstruation in the dark compartment at the bottom of the box. You must be careful when you go to the academy, and don't do things lightly or lightly." Yes. Going out is not like being at home, you must learn to be patient in everything, and you can no longer do things arbitrarily. Also, don’t bring those crickets with you. Be careful, the master said you are playing with things and losing your mind.”
Liu Mu nodded and said, "I see, then you have to take good care of them for me, and don't starve my crickets to death. Also, if you really don't come back after two years, then don't be in a hurry Married, I'm afraid I won't see you when I come back."
Xiangyun said, "I thought you'd think I'm long-winded, I wish I could get married quickly and go far away."
"No, I wish you would never marry and stay with me forever."
Xiangyun smiled wryly, "If your words are sincere, then I will never marry and will always be with you."
Liu Mu smiled and said, "You said this. I took it seriously and wrote it down. If one day you marry someone, then I will bring you more oil and vinegar and snatch you back."
Yu Wanran happened to hear this when she walked outside the door, and saw Xiangyun straighten Liu Mu's clothes, "If you encounter any problems when you get there, write a letter back."
Liu Mu smiled and said, "I don't know how to read, how can I write letters. How about I give you a dream!"
Xiangyun pretended to blame and said, "It's good to be talking nonsense again. Also, when you go to the academy, you have to listen to the young mistress. You are a family when you go out. The young mistress will never hurt you. Don't play your temper deliberately." Angry young lady. You are also young lady's husband-in-law now, so you should learn to be more considerate outside."
Liu Mu snorted, "It's better if you don't mention her, but I get annoyed when I mention her. That shrew is like an old lady, she must be able to do this or that, and she has to listen to everything. It's a pity that that shrew knows martial arts and I can't beat her, otherwise I have to find a village on the way that doesn't shit and sell her."
"It seems that I should be more careful this way." Yu Wanran walked in from the door.
Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a smile, "Miss martial arts is very strong, even if I dare to sell it, who would dare to buy you. Unless it is those old widowers who are full of pockmarks, lame, and tired of work."
Xiangyun immediately poured a cup of tea to Yu Wanran, and said, "The young master is so outspoken, as if he can't speak his mind. The young master has never traveled far since he was a child, and he has never been taken care of by his servants. It will take two years to go to a far away place, and I will ask my young mistress to take care of her for these two years."
Before Yu Wanran could speak, Liu Mu hastily interjected, "I'm not a fool who has lost his mind. I'm such a grown-up, so I don't need her to take care of me. I'm just thankful that this shrew didn't plot against me."
Before leaving, Mr. Liu handed over the silver taels and bank notes to Yu Wanran, and specially instructed Liu Mu to go to Yu Wanran to get the silver if she used it.Now Liu Mu can be said to be a breeze in his sleeves, walking cleanly, without a penny on his body.
Somehow, the butler of the Liu Manor and several servants escorted Liu Mu and Yu Wanran all the way north.
Liu Mu stood under the carriage and bid farewell to everyone, and Xiangyun told her again and again, "Don't forget to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night. The weather in the north is already cold, so don't forget to add clothes when the seasons change."
Liu Ye pulled Liu Mu's sleeve reluctantly, "Brother, you have to come back quickly. After you left, I feel that the whole house is lifeless, and there is no life at all."
The second lady said, "This girl really can't speak, what is lifeless? Besides, your elder brother didn't die, but came back after only two years. Why are you crying? Your elder brother is gone, isn't your second brother still with you?" !"
Liu Mu wiped Liu Ye's face, and said, "Ye'er, don't cry, when Big Brother comes back, I will definitely bring you a lot of goodies that don't exist here."
Master Liu said, "When you arrive at Huguo Temple, you must study hard and don't cause trouble anymore. If you provoke those officials and officials, it may be many times more troublesome than this time. It's not like you can spend money casually. Solved."
Liu Mu replied respectfully, "Understood father. When the child arrives at Huguo Temple, he must study hard, so he won't let father worry about it anymore."
Liu Mu got into the carriage, couldn't help but opened the curtains, and said to Xiang Yun, "Don't forget you promised me!"
Xiangyun didn't answer, just nodded towards Liumu.
After driving for a while, the carriage was suddenly stopped again, "Boss!" Liu Mu hurriedly jumped off when he heard Xia Tong's voice.
"Why are you guys here!"
Zhang Fu said, "Fortunately, I'm well-informed. Otherwise, the separation will be two years, and I don't know what will happen next time we meet."
Xia Tong said, "I heard from my father that anyone who can go to Huguo Temple Academy will be an official in the future. If the boss can become a majestic high-ranking official in the future, then our brothers will also be honored. See Jinling Who else dares to fight us."
Liu Mu smiled and said, "I'm not supposed to be an official. It's just that my father sent me there because he was afraid that I would cause trouble again. By the way, why didn't Xu Gong come?"
"he……"
Seeing Zhang Fu's hesitation, Liu Mu hurriedly asked, "But something happened?"
"That's not..."
Xia Tong said, "When I mention that kid Xu Gong, I get angry. Everyone says brothers and wives are not good..."
Zhang Fu hurriedly interrupted Xia Tong and said, "You have been away for two years, and I don't know what will happen here. I went to the Spring Wind Pavilion yesterday, and I happened to see Ziyan. This is what Ziyan just embroidered." The sachet, I took it while she was not paying attention, I know you have a lot of love for her, so you can keep it as a thought."
Liu Mu took the sachet from Zhang Fu and asked, "Is Zi Yan okay recently?"
Zhang Fu nodded, "It's still the same, but without you, it looks much deserted there." Zhang Fu said otherwise, "There are many beautiful women in the world, but there are not many beautiful and infatuated women. Yes. If there is someone who is willing to waste time for you knowing that there is no result, then it is really worth cherishing."
The coachman said, "Master, let's go as soon as possible."
Liu Mu didn't think too much about what Zhang Fu said, but said goodbye to the two, and got into the carriage with Zi Yanxiu's sachet.
