The thatched house serves as a sail, and the five elements and four heroes are at your service. The auspicious book arrives in an instant, the chapter is completed, and the autumn wind blows, the wine god sends.
Mu Qing felt that something was off about this situation.
Li Qiming recently called herself "niang zi" and showed a desire to return to Cuizhu Yuan, but after not being selected as the top scholar, her attitude towards him completely changed.
She just wanted Zhen Zhu to call Zhou Bai Mu over to ask him a few questions, but unexpectedly, Zhou Bai Mu took the initiative to find Shen Mu Qing.
He knelt down in front of Shen Muqing as soon as he saw her: "Third Young Mistress, you must advise Third Young Master!"
Shen Mu Qing saw his sorrowful tone and was shocked, hastily asking: "What's happened?"
"Miss, people outside have been saying that Third Young Master can become a champion scholar only because of the Old Master's influence... When it comes to the imperial examination, which is based on real abilities, Third Young Master will... They also say that even his teacher, Mr. Yuan, looks down on him and only recommended him as a champion scholar out of courtesy..."
Shen Mu Qing's heart skipped a beat, her face turned as white as silk.
"Do you know how this rumor got out?"
She hastily asked one sentence and felt she had misspoken.
This rumor spread out, where can find its origin.
"Who would have thought that Zhou Bai Mu would say: 'I heard it was the Emperor. The Emperor said so.'"
"Your Majesty? Is it Your Majesty's place? What did he say? Where did he say it?"
Zhou Bai Mu said in a low voice, "That day, Third Master went to the banquet at Qiong Lin with great enthusiasm. He even said that after drinking this round of wine, he would focus on studying and preparing for the Imperial Examination. Who knew that when they came out of Qiong Lin Banquet, five or six scholars from outside the capital pulled Third Master aside and said they hadn't eaten enough, asking him to take them to find a place to eat as a local. At that time, Third Master's face didn't look good. He reluctantly took them to Yun Jing Lou. After drinking three rounds, a fight broke out upstairs. I was afraid Third Master would be at a disadvantage, so I rushed up and heard someone with a Fujian accent say, 'Even the Emperor said that your handwriting is very similar to that of Min Shuangyuan. However, when Yuan Shi commented on your and Min Shuangyuan's exam papers, he said that Min Shuangyuan's writing excels in being dignified and serious, while yours excels in being beautiful and elegant. Compared to you, Min Shuangyuan's brushwork is more mature...' At the time, everyone was present, so it can't be that I'm making this up!"
Shen Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment. Hurriedly, he asked: "What did Third Young Master say?"
Zhou Bai Mu's eyes dimmed for a moment. He said: "At that time, the third young master didn't say anything. He just suddenly drank a cup of wine."
Shen Mu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"It's really a case of 'when it rains, it pours'." Zhou Bai Mu sighed, "Who knew that Lin Bi Cheng, who often hangs out with Third Young Master, would lead a group of scholars to drink in the next room..."
"Lin Kecheng?" Shen Muqing said with a thoughtful expression, "He's that ageless friend who is twenty years older than Third Master. I heard he also participated in the imperial examination this year and passed as a jinshi along with Third Master."
"Hmm!" Zhou Bai Mu nodded helplessly "It's this person. Third Master was so angry that he just buried his head and drank wine. Those people saw him and were also somewhat embarrassed, their faces red with ears burning as they wanted to say something, but then Lin Xian Cheng's voice came from the next room."
"What did Lin say in Chengdu?"
Zhou Bai's temples bulged with rage: "Lin Kecheng said that Third Master used to write excellent Yan-style calligraphy, but who knew he changed to writing Wei Furen's cursive script for the imperial examination... He wrote it and wrote it, but in the end, it wasn't even as good as Min Zhuangyuan's, just inviting ridicule."
Shen Mu's face suddenly turned pale.
It seems that one's own conjecture is completely correct.
Shen helped Liang Jiemin by temporarily copying the Emperor's favorite Wei Shi's hairpin small script to make his imperial examination more secure.
That's why Madam Tai would let Liang Jiemin be sent to Cong Lü Tang...
So since getting married, Liang Jiemin practiced calligraphy every day without interruption...
She couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
It's really a double-edged sword!
Zhou Bai Mu heard Shen Mu Qing sigh and immediately stopped talking.
"What's next?" Shen Muqing's voice sounded a bit stiff, giving people an uncomfortable and oppressive feeling when they heard it.
Then, the Third Young Master was completely stunned. The people at this table also started exchanging glances with each other," Zhou Bai Mu said somewhat anxiously, "The person next door asked Lin Ji Cheng if he was jealous of the Third Young Master's early success, and Lin Ji Cheng said: I'm jealous of Liang Qi Min... uh... that is, the Third Young Master... the Third Young Master..."
Shen Mu's clear eyes stared sharply at Zhou Bai Mu: "What did I send someone to Young Master for?"
Zhou Bai Mu's face immediately broke out in a fine sweat as soon as he heard this. He knelt down in front of Shen Mu Qing and hastily said: "Lin Bi Cheng said: I'm only jealous that Liang Ji Min has a good father-in-law..." As he spoke, he secretly raised his eyes to steal a glance at Shen Mu Qing's expression.
Shen Muqing secretly sighed in her heart. She saw Zhou Bai Mu's terrified expression, his face pale, and asked: "Apart from this, what else did Lin Jicheng say?"
Zhou Bai Mu lowered his head: "Lin Xicheng also said that if everyone doesn't cooperate, just wait and see, Third Master will smoothly pass the Imperial Examination..."
Just as Shen Mu was quietly listening to Zhou Bai's words, Li Mama suddenly came looking for her with a mysterious and uneasy look.
"Third Young Mistress, has that Fifth Miss Feng you told me about arrived?"
Shen Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then hastily said in a low voice, "Speak more clearly."
"Third Young Master's wife," Li Mama said in a low voice, her own voice even lower, "it's like this. I went to find Ta...
Liu Mama, who was keeping watch at night, had some wine and said that Madame Weng of the Feng family spoke about Fifth Young Mistress. She feared that later she would have to send Fifth Young Mistress back home, so she didn't dare drink with me. I told Moon Orchid to go find Xiang Yu, the one without a shaven head in Madame's room, to play together and soon we'll know what was said!
Shen Muqing nodded in satisfaction, turned around and opened a black lacquer carved box under the kang, took out a piece of broken silver about two taels and handed it to Li Mama: "Mama go buy some snacks!"
Mrs. Li took the money and left with a smile.
Shen Muqing called Mingxia over to help her change and comb her hair: "I'm going to pay a visit to the Old Madam later."
Ming Xia hurriedly called a young maid to bring in water and re-wash Shen Mu's face.
Combing her hair, Laurel arrived.
Shen Mu Qing dismissed the maid beside her: "What did Fifth Young Miss say to Old Madam?"
Bay Laurel said in a low voice: "It was during the previous period that Madam had someone bring her some tonic medicine, and she came over to thank Madam specially."
"So you're saying you went to Madame's place?" Mu Qing was slightly stunned.
Yu nodded and said: "She went to Guiying Hall for only a moment, Madam had all the servants in the house dismissed..."
"What did you find out?" Shen Muqing asked in surprise.
Yu Guo said, "At first, Wu Niang asked the young master about his imperial examination, and then Madame mentioned that San Shao Ye had been busy with social engagements lately. Wu Niang then said that it was actually because San Shao Ye's heart wasn't at peace, so he dismissed all the servants around him."
It's also about those few sentences spoken by Feng Wanqing.
"I was afraid that Third Young Master's wife would be anxious, so I came back to report first." Yu Guai smiled and said with a calm expression, "However, I left Liu Chun there - she gets along very well with Xiang Lian who serves beside the mistress, and will bring news back soon."
Shen Mu nodded slightly and called Ming Xia in to help her dress, then changed into a peach-red embroidered silk jacket with white Hangzhou silk underskirt. After thinking for a moment, she went to the Feng's residence.
As Shen Muqing approached, the maidservants standing under the eaves all bowed to her, and even Dong Mama personally came out to lift the curtain for Shen Muqing.
Shen Mu Qing stopped in her tracks under the curtain.
She saw a little girl wearing a stone-blue jacket, fifteen or sixteen years old, with peach-like cheeks and a very pretty face.
Dong's mother saw Shen Muqing turn his face sideways and follow her gaze.
"Third Young Mistress," she smiled, "that's Wu Jin'ge, who serves by the side of Fifth Young Mistress of the Feng manor."
"Oh!" Shen Muqing smiled slightly, "It's really beautiful!"
"It's not that they're not good-looking, the two sisters next to Wu Niang are both top-notch beauties." Dong Mama explained while beckoning to Wujin to come over and pay her respects to Shen Muqing.
Wu Jin secretly turned her body while Shen Muqing was looking at her, with her back slightly towards Shen Muqing, pretending not to see her. But under the eaves of this house were clever little maids, and someone pulled Wu Jin's sleeve: "Sister, sister, Mother Dong wants you to go give Third Young Madam a greeting."
Now, Wu Jin couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it anymore.
She walked over with a bright smile, but Shen Muqing lowered his head and entered the house.
Wu Jin was stunned there.
There was a little maid beside her who pitied her: "Our Third Young Mistress is the most generous, if Sister were to kowtow to her, a reward of five taels of silver would be unavoidable."
Wu Jin stared in shock: "This...this is so many......"
Shen Mu Qing entered the house and saw Madame Feng leaning against the windowsill with a gloomy face. Beside her stood a 16 or 17-year-old girl. Her black hair was casually tied up, with a blue butterfly pin on her temple, wearing a moon-white silk blouse and a two-colored gold-blue skirt with red flowers. She had a tall and slender figure, fair skin, and delicate features, bearing a striking resemblance to Madame Feng. She stood quietly, exuding an elegant and refined aura. Like Madame Feng, her expression was also tinged with a hint of solemnity, filling the room with an oppressive atmosphere.
This girl should be Feng Wanqing!
It's really true that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting them in person; she's indeed a beautiful woman with exceptional charm.
It seems like the atmosphere in this house has a lot to do with the conversation between the two of them. I wish I knew what they were talking about.
Shen Mu was deep in thought, and then knelt down to pay his respects to Lady Feng.
Feng's expression was somewhat listless, and she pointed to the girl beside her, saying: "This is your paternal grandfather's fifth younger sister. She was ill for a while recently, but has recovered now, and has come over specifically to pay her respects!" Then, turning to the girl again, she said: "And this is your third aunt on your father's side."
Feng Wanqing revealed a dignified and beautiful smile, curtsying to Shen Muqing: "Third Aunt!"
Shen Muqing returned the courtesy and smiled brightly as she called out "Fifth Sister".
Feng saw the two men exchange greetings and then asked Shen Muqing, "What brings you here?" His voice was somewhat cold.
