"Mu Youfang, why did you come back so early today?" Before Qingmo arrived, the voice came first, he pushed open the door of Mu Youfang's study, and strode across the threshold.

Mu Youfang was sitting in front of the desk writing. When he looked up, he saw Chitong striding forward with big strides and grinning very carelessly. The corners of his mouth curled up: "I'll stop talking tomorrow, so I'll be back early today."

"Oh!" Qing Mo sat opposite, grabbed the refreshments on the table to eat, and immediately said: "Usually, Xiu Mo doesn't see you to rest, why did you come back early this time? But something happened?"

"Brother Zhou Yun made an appointment to go hunting tomorrow, and it's at Lingdi Mountain outside the city." Mu Youfang gently put the pen on the inkstone, and replied.

"Lingdi Mountain?" Qing Mo was lying on the table, with his chin raised, his eyes raised and looking up at Mu Youfang who was sitting upright.

Mu Youfang nodded and said, "Yes, Lingdi Mountain is the mountain on the west side of the city."

West of the city?Qing Mo recalled that he seemed to have been there.But he didn't say it. After all, Mu Youfang finally had a rest. It's good to go out hunting together, and take a look at the scenery. It's good to relax.

Mu Youfang continued: "You are often out, has anything interesting happened recently?"

Qing Mo is a person who can't stay still. When Mu Youfang is conscientiously handling official business, he will go out for a walk by himself, and have fun for himself.In recent days, he has been staying less and less in Mu's residence, and Mu Youfang is curious about what he is doing recently.

"It's nothing, I just went to the nearby mountains for a walk." Qing Mo poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.He clicked his tongue and put down the teacup, he still didn't like the taste of the tea very much, it was not as sweet as the wine, he still liked more wine.

Mu Youfang obviously didn't like Qing Mo's slightly frowning expression. He pursed his lips and smiled: "Then you have to get up early tomorrow, and others will leave if it's late."

Qing Mo thought to himself that I didn't want to go with him, so I just left.But he knew that Mu Youfang was a committed person, so he nodded to show that he knew.

This was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and a man with the appearance of a domestic servant stepped in.Bowing down to salute the two, he said to Mu Youfang, "My lord, there is a letter from Mu's Village."

The servant moved closer to Qing Mo, Qing Mo immediately took the letter from the servant's hand, tore open the seal and read it.The servant was not surprised by this, seeing Mu Youfang waving his hand at him, he bowed his head slightly and retreated after composing.

Mu Youfang took a sip of tea and asked, "What did you say in the letter?"

Qing Mo handed the letter to Mu Youfang, beaming with joy: "Kong Qing said that they have already set off and will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Mu Youfang looked down at Shixing and finished reading the letter after a while, and said with a smile: "Finally, my wish has come true, and it's not in vain for you to urge them to come with a letter every five days."

Qing Mo's brows and eyes were full of smiles, and he was very excited when he thought that he could take Kong Qing, the little wooden idiot, to see the excitement of the capital. : "That's right, this city is very boring, it would be better to ask Kong Qing to join in the fun and add some fun."

Mu Youfang sneered, feeling that Qing Mo was still so naive.He thought he would be able to entertain Kongqing after a long absence, but from the beginning to the end, Kongqing was not his turn to amuse himself.Not to mention how smart and wise Kong Qing himself is, even Chi Tong would not let him be presumptuous.

If he is extremely smart, he can also gain an age advantage, and take advantage of Chi Tong's time to take advantage of it and be complacent.But he was born upright and not good at stratagem, so he was about to be disappointed.If he thought he was smart, he might have to be teased by Kong Qing.Mu Youfang found it funny and worried that all his evil ideas would be reflected on himself.

The Mu Mansion was purchased by themselves. It is located in a relatively quiet street in the west of the south of the city. The courtyard has four entrances and three exits. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.Mu Youfang didn't like women who were careful and thoughtful, and easily made troubles, so the servants in Mu's house were all men aged sixteen to twenty.

There is no hostess or old man in Mu's mansion to serve, so the servants who serve in Mu's mansion are always at ease. The master is busy with official duties all day long. They only need to prepare refreshments, clean the house, and trim the flower garden.And the other master is more casual, often not at home, just serve all the food when he comes back, without the big airs of those powerful and aristocratic families.

However, although their master was born in the countryside, he was not vulgar at all, on the contrary, he was gentle, educated and reasonable, even better than the sons raised by those powerful and nobles.Compared to them, such a decent job with less money and more money, they are very satisfied with the status quo.Mu Youfang is upright, diligent and conscientious, and his official career is bound to be limitless.As long as they are dedicated to their duties and do their duty well, are they afraid that they will not be able to make it to the top?

When Chen arrived, Qing Mo was pulled up from the bed by Mu Youfang, and ate breakfast in a daze.Seeing that he was very tired, Mu Youfang called the housekeeper to lead the carriage out.Their trip was for hunting, and they didn't have any female relatives, so they didn't need a carriage at all, all men would ride on horses.

But Qing Mo didn't wake up, and was very confused. Mu Youfang was afraid that he would accidentally fall off while riding on the horse, so he asked the housekeeper to use the carriage he used to go to court, and brought a boy to drive the carriage.At this time, Qing Mo continued to sleep soundly in the carriage.And he himself rode a horse in front of the carriage, and beside him was a black and shiny horse with bright eyes, a strong and healthy horse, it was a good horse at first glance.

The horse that no one was riding was Qing Mo's exclusive horse, one day he went out to Huangda as usual, and when he came back, he led two good horses.The corners of Mu Youfang's mouth curled up slightly. These two horses are a pair. The blue-and-white horse is black and shiny, and its name is Heihu. This name was all given by Qing Mo.They are all rare and good horses, but Qing Mo randomly named them such a funny name.Mu Youfang couldn't help laughing.He remembered Qing Mo's joyful look when he sent him the horse, and the warmth crossed his heart.

At this time, many shops on the street have already opened their doors, and teahouses and restaurants are already preparing.The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and Mu Youfang and his party went to the west gate in a low-key manner.

As soon as they left the west city gate, they saw a handsome young man on horseback. His face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like bright stars, his figure was handsome and he was holding a folding fan.He is Liu Zhouyun, the second son of Yushi doctor Liu Chengying, who also participated in the palace examination in the same session as him, and the number one scholar who ranked higher than him.

The two had some opportunities before high school, and they talked happily for the first time.Because the two have the same temperament, they both left their respective addresses.Liu Zhou was unrestrained and unrestrained and liked to make friends, and it was rare to meet such a good person, so he sent his servants to meet Mu Youfang many times to discuss and study together.The more the two meet each other, the more they appreciate each other's talents and personalities.After high school, the rankings were so close again, and I felt very happy that I had a good vision. After becoming colleagues, I even regarded each other as close friends and rare confidants in this life.

Liu Zhouyun turned his head and met Mu Youfang who was coming this way. The corner of his mouth was full of spring breeze, he put away his folding fan and raised his hand and arched towards Mu Youfang: "Brother Youfang is here, call me hello wait!"

With a smile on his face, Mu Youfang cupped his hands in return, and said shamelessly, "I'm really sorry for the delay."

Liu Zhouyun shook his head with a smile, and said magnanimously: "No problem, no problem, just come here." Seeing the carriage behind Mu Youfang and the empty horse beside him, Liu Zhouyun clicked his tongue jokingly Said: "Who is in the carriage? Why did you bring an empty horse?"

Mu Youfang glanced back, there was still no movement in the carriage, thinking that the people in the carriage were asleep, Mu Youfang smiled slightly: "It's Qing Mo, he got up early today, he will still be sleepy, I'm afraid Already asleep."

Liu Zhouyun closed the fan, patted his palm with the folding fan body, shook his head and said with regret: "Qing Mo is too lazy, a good man, how can he be so depraved?"

Mu Youfang turned a deaf ear to Liu Zhouyun's regret, and just shook his head amusedly.The little foot clamped the horse's belly, and then pulled the rope that covered the horse's head, driving his own horse forward: "Let's go, it's getting late."

Liu Zhouyun drove his horse to follow, seemingly unwilling, and continued the previous topic: "Although Qing Mo is not proficient in writing and ink, he also understands. He has a straightforward personality, a strong body and a good kung fu, and he can definitely join the army. I Let my father recommend him, and with his own ability, I believe that within two years, he will definitely achieve something."

Liu Zhouyun liked Qing Mo's straightforward and wanton character very much, so he was heartbroken when he saw Qing Mo doing nothing.Therefore, he couldn't bear it very much, and always had to talk to Mu Youfang when he picked a good opportunity.I hope that Qingmo can have his own career, and I hope that he will become famous.It's like an old elder who doesn't want to make progress with the younger generation and has broken his heart.

Mu Youfang looked at the scenery on the side of the road, smiled lightly, and didn't interrupt him when he saw that he was talking vigorously.Liu Zhouyun talked for a long while but did not see Mu Youfang responding, so he glanced at Mu Youfang and said, "You really can see him wasting his time like this?"

Mu Youfang looked at a big green tree with luxuriant branches and leaves in the distance, and smiled sweetly.His voice was like a breeze from the sky, very ethereal: "Everyone has his own aspirations, and there is really no need to force them."

Seeing this, Liu Zhouyun rolled his eyes, feeling helpless, his enthusiasm was in vain again.Looking at the carriage behind him, he shook his head, killing the idea of ​​persuading Qing Mo himself.It's okay to chatter with Mu Youfang, although he is unmoved, he is always gentle and refined.Qing Mo is different, if he gets annoyed by the nagging, it's fine for him to walk away, sometimes he will do it when his temper comes up.

For this matter, he was often chased and beaten by Qing Mo.Thinking about him, he is a champion with a bright future. He is so worried about his unknown first-rank junior. It’s fine if he doesn’t feel grateful, and even treats him like a slug. Liu Zhouyun looks at the sky speechlessly. worry.Thinking of this, Liu Zhouyun shuddered, and scraped the words "Holy Mother's Heart" from his mind.Glancing angrily at the carriage behind him, he cursed secretly: "It's fine if you don't appreciate my kindness, but you dare to name me the Heart of the Virgin." !"

The young man on horseback next to him lowered his head and pursed his lips with a smile when he saw his master slumped.Mr. Qingmo is really a strange person, he treats his son like this, but his own son doesn't care at all.Turning around and back and forth, the three of them were still laughing and laughing.

At three o'clock, Qing Mo woke up slowly. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head out.The servant driving the carriage smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Qing Mo, wake up!"

Qing Mo looked at the backs of the two figures in front, yawned and mumbled "Hmm!"

The two who heard the movement turned around and saw Qing Mo standing on the carriage squinting his eyes and stretching his waist. Mu Youfang asked, "Have you slept well?"

Qing Mo nodded his toes, his body was as light as a wild goose, and he jumped onto the back of his horse in an instant.The horse only took two steps, and felt that it was his master who was touching his neck, and immediately calmed down.

Liu Zhouyun sighed in amazement, and immediately sighed again.With such agility, it would be a pity not to enter the barracks to serve the court.Their Liu family has been involved in literature for generations and does not involve martial arts, so he has a different desire for martial arts.He also learned it before, but he gave up because he was not talented enough and his physical condition was not enough.However, every man has his own dream of being a hero. When he was young, he would march forward bravely to fight on the battlefield, become famous, and leave his name in history.Therefore, he wanted to achieve Qing Mo, but he actually wanted to achieve his own heroic dream.

Qing Mo met Liu Zhouyun's astonishing eyes, smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth, and raised his eyebrows, very proud.

Mu Youfang smiled, and told the boy driving the carriage, "Go back first!"

"Yes!" The servant handed Mu Youfang the bundle prepared on the carriage, saluted the three of them, and drove the carriage back.

Qing Mo had slept enough, full of energy, and said to the two: "Let's compete, whoever loses will be responsible for cleaning up the prey later!"

"Ah!" Liu Zhouyun wanted to say something with a bitter expression on his face, but before he could say it, Qing Mo rode away and only left him a back view.

Mu Youfang laughed happily.Only Liu Zhouyun scolded angrily: "It's too much! Before he started shouting, he ran away!"

Mu Youfang knew that Liu Zhouyun suffered from asthma, so it was best not to exercise vigorously.He was actually a little puzzled when he was invited to hunt this time.After all, Liu Zhouyun himself can't enjoy the fun.Thinking about it, maybe he just wanted to see the scenery.It just so happened that he himself wanted to come out to get some air, so he didn't delve into it further.He smiled and said: "Don't pay attention to him, we will go at our usual speed."

Liu Zhouyun thanked Mu Youfang for his understanding, and said with a sigh of relief, "It's just ahead, not far away."

The three of them rode their horses and went towards Lingdi Mountain at a slightly faster speed.
