Volume 1 Chapter 150: Who Are You (6)

  Chapter 150: Who Are You (6)

  Midnight thoughts are vague and indistinct, a full moon hangs in the sky.

  The sound of silk is carried by the gentle breeze, with only a faint hint of its tone and color remaining.

  By the north gate, a young fellow of fifteen or sixteen years old, with his head drooping, had placed a lamp beside him, seemingly listless, shifting from left foot to right, swaying back and forth. Suddenly hearing a noise outside the door, his eyes immediately became spirited.

  First there was a voice, then the sound of horseshoes. The door was pushed open slightly, with very little force, so that it opened just a crack and then closed again.

  The little servant picked up the lamp and walked quickly over, just as the door opened for the second time, he used his foot to push against the crack and kicked it open.

  One hand was just about to push the door open when it suddenly swung open by itself and stopped there, looking a bit at a loss.

  When the light shone on the person outside the door, Xiao Er saw a woman dressed in a traditional Chinese outfit, her face unable to conceal an expression of shock, as if she had been frightened.

  Mei Zi was indeed startled. Yuan Cheng said it was a push door, not a pull door. So she was extra careful and tried pushing it first to make sure the door was open before entering. Who would have thought that not only did the door suddenly open by itself, but there was also someone behind it.

  Under the lamplight, she saw that he was not very old and should be a young servant. Fortunately, it wasn't Yuan Cheng himself. She thought that with her intelligence quotient, it would be extremely difficult to match wits with him, so having a conversation with Yuan Cheng without mental preparation would obviously be even more challenging than dealing with Jin Da Shao. Her brain had already been overused today and needed rest.

  "Are you Miss Mozi?" The young servant was very clever.

  "I am." Even her name is known, who sent her, no need to think. Fortunately, she has always been careful in her actions, today Yuan Cheng suddenly appeared, although she changed into men's clothing, but did not disguise herself as Mo Ge, went out with a plain face, and only applied black makeup outside. When she came back, she also washed her face clean.

  Of course, so let the never-seen-her-white-and-clean-appearance Xun Er be surprised for a moment. And just arrived in the capital for only a few days, Guan Zhe's aunt, who was in charge of Ge Qiu, actually wanted her to make a debut on the opening day. However, after listening to her sing a tuneless Jiangnan Xiaoling, she had no choice but to give up. Born with imperfect pitch, it wasn't her fault.

  He stared at her "original form" for a while, and said that the black-faced appearance still looked like a man. He was neither surprised nor stunned. This child from the mountain didn't have a concept of beauty or ugliness in appearance, or rather, he just didn't care. Actually, it's good this way. Looking at people with such an attitude can make one see more clearly.

  "Ming Nian has been waiting for a long time under the orders of Master. The young servant slightly lifted the lamp in his hand, 'Master said that the garden is deserted and it's feared that Miss will have difficulty walking at night, so Ming Nian was sent to light the way for Miss. Please follow closely, Miss.'"

  Master? Isn't it Yuan Qing? Mozi was a bit confused and asked, "Your family's master is——"

  "Doesn't the young lady recognize the adults in my family?" Ming Nian found it strange, "The adults in my family are surnamed Yuan, and they are indeed the owners of this garden."

  What happened? What did she miss? The stone said that the traitor's crime was punishable by death; Zhong An sent someone into the imperial palace, it must be the heavenly prison. The emperor's amnesty for the whole country has not been half a month, and that person has lived in this deserted house for only a few days, but he is already an adult? How did he become one?

  Alright, she humbly asked for advice, "What official position does your family's elder hold?"

  "Adult newly appointed Taixue Doctor, from sixth-grade official, starting tomorrow will enter Taixue to teach." Mingnian said while walking.

  Taixue Doctor, equivalent to a university professor. Although it is a sixth-grade official, it is an official who does not need to attend court and has no power. But after all, it is also a small official, much higher than the status of ordinary people.

  You're really something, Yuan Cheng. The miserable and pitiful state of being supported while walking and fearing not waking up even when lying down has already become a thing of the past.

  Faintly heard from the east wing's garden was a lively atmosphere, with music and laughter. Mozi lowered her eyelids and chuckled softly. Indeed, Yuancheng and Xiao Erlang were both from that side.

  Which side?

  The noble side.

  The high-ranking official's side.

  "Is your family hosting a banquet today?" This newly-promoted official is indeed bringing the revelry of Nan De's nightlife over here?

  "That's right. The adults have invited colleagues from the Imperial Academy to drink, and tonight they won't leave until they're drunk." Although Ming is still young, his words are very mature. In the official circles, getting drunk is a common occurrence, and he seems to understand this as well.

  "Brother Mingnian, I see you speak like someone who has read books?" He had a very scholarly air about him, unlike ordinary young servants.

  "Miss, you are an adult's friend, while I am just a servant, so it's not proper to address me like that. Just call me Ming Nian." After correcting the mistake in etiquette, Ming Nian said, "My father is a janitor at the Imperial Academy and I followed him to read some books when I was young. You pitied me for having lost an arm and were willing to take me as your book boy."

  Mozi only then noticed that Mingnian's left sleeve was empty, no wonder he had used his foot to kick the door earlier. She wanted to open her mouth to comfort him, but felt it would be counterproductive, and hesitated as she listened to Mingnian say a string of words that left her stunned.

  "The elder told the younger to inform the young lady that he had never owed anyone a favor in his life, so he didn't know whether he should repay it or how to repay it. As for other things that he couldn't figure out himself, it would be better to ask that person to decide. The elder said that he would give that person one month's time. If that person wanted him to repay this favor, please have them acknowledge the past matter in person within this month. Otherwise, after a month, even if that person changed their mind and came to acknowledge him, he would consider the favor cleared and from then on they would owe each other nothing."

  Yuancheng and Jinyan, one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian, both have a bad habit of not pronouncing people's names clearly.

  Although she had guessed that Yuan Qing might recognize her, the guess was a psychological activity. When her ears really heard this fact, she was still surprised. But after being surprised, she thought that he had also seen through his own daughter's body at the beginning, and it seemed to be said that the nose was very spiritual? Her clothes, love to use white lotus special dry flowers slightly fragrant. Maybe it's because of this point?

  "I don't understand what you mean, sir." Mu Zi's acting skills had reached new heights.

  "The grown-ups said, I didn't understand, but the young lady did." This armless book boy could only convey Yuan Qing's words clearly, showing that his brain was clever.

  Yuancheng seemed to have anticipated that she wouldn't recognize him, so he gave her a deadline of one month. If she wanted him to repay the favor, she had to personally acknowledge within this month that Mo Ge and Mo Zi were the same person. If not, after one month, she would no longer be qualified to ask for repayment.

  On the other side, Jin Dashao had already refused to cooperate with him. If she still wanted the Water Purifying Pearl, she wouldn't have returned it to Yuancheng from the start. Now that she has returned it, it's up to Yuancheng to decide whether to sell or keep it.

  Under the high wall, the green grass rustles.

  Mei Zi Xue Mao called out before, "Ming Nian, can you help me pass a message to your family's elder, okay?"

  "Please speak, young lady." Ming Nian said respectfully, his left sleeve fluttering in the wind.

  "At that time, the person who helped her was a husband with an unyielding spirit, not a drunken doctor from the Imperial Academy. Now everyone has their own aspirations, and it's better to let bygones be bygones." Since Yuan Cheng recognized her, there was no need for her to pretend to be stupid anymore. The Yuan Cheng she knew back then was not the same as the one now.

  "Yes, I will remember it." The young servant bowed his head and body in respect.

  "Aren't you leaving?" Mozi thought, haven't we arrived safely already?

  "The adult instructed, must see the girl safely... over the wall." This sentence is quite strange.

  Smoothly passing through the wall, the purple ink cat meows twice.

  Today's second update, 2,000 words.

  Four thousand words tomorrow.

  Mumu, qin.
