The historian can't write

Chapter 14 Ant Sermons

Cui Jingxing has been an official in the court for nearly ten years, except for his own one-third of an acre of land, he has never moved anywhere, and today is the first time he has entered the Minister's Mansion.As soon as he stepped into the gate of Shangshu Mansion, he could feel that the atmosphere here was quite different from other places, and even Cui Jingxing's already slow pace became even slower.

Mu Shufeng sat in the room, held his pen and looked sideways at Cui Jingxing outside the window, and said after a long while: "You can walk more slowly, it's time to go home."

Cui Jingxing was quicker when he heard the words, and after entering the room, he glanced at Mu Shufeng, "My lord, I don't know what you can do as an official?"

Mu Shufeng said: "Will you review the memorial?"

Cui Jingxing looked blank.

Mu Shufeng was speechless for a while, and took a booklet from the bookshelf after a while, and said, "This is the political leaders I wrote down every day. You sort them out and send them to the History Museum tomorrow."

Recording political leaders and major events of the country are current government orders. This matter should have been done by the prime minister, and the recorded current government orders should be sent to the History Museum every month for the compilation of national history.Cui Jingxing took the brochure, knowing in his heart that Mu Shufeng was looking for a temporary job for him to fool him, he didn't say anything, sat down on the small table next to him, and started grinding.

When Mu Shufeng was working, he had no other distractions, and he seemed to forget that there was someone sitting next to him all day long.Cui Jingxing is also an extremely quiet person, with a lower sense of presence than Feng.At any rate, the wind messed up Mu Shufeng's hair, and Mu Shufeng knew how to paw and paw.

When the sun was setting in the west, Mu Shufeng stretched his waist, and was almost taken aback when he turned his head, "Why are you here?"

"..." Cui Jingxing was silent for a moment, suddenly he had nothing to say.

Fortunately, Mu Shufeng realized it by himself, and he got up as if nothing had happened, and said, "It's getting late, and there are still things to be done here. If you work in the Shangshufu every day, you have to do your duty every day."

Cui Jingxing understood that it was to make him work overtime.

Mu Shufeng not only asked Cui Jingxing to work overtime, but also asked the entire Shangshu Mansion to work overtime together, but judging from the sad faces of the others, it seemed that they would not work overtime often on weekdays.Could it be that something happened?Cui Jingxing frowned slightly, and asked the question.

Mu Shufeng said: "The water conditions of the Weihe River may change at any time. Just in case, it is best to stay in the Shangshu Mansion for a while these few days. If there is an emergency, it is better to deal with it in time."

Cui Jingxing glanced at Mu Shufeng, no matter what, this prime minister is still very conscientious.

The people in Shangshu's mansion stayed up until midnight and were finally released home.The road was slippery at night, and there was no guarantee of absolute safety in the city, not to mention Cui Jingxing's trouble-prone face, so Mu Shufeng brought him back to the Mu Mansion, and asked Bai Ling to arrange a guest room for Cui Jingxing.

Just as Cui Jingxing lay down and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a very loud commotion outside the house, which seemed to be very lively.His drowsiness disappeared instantly. Are the people in the shogunate so energetic in the middle of the night?

He turned over and blocked his ears, but the laughter outside was so loud that he couldn't sleep lightly, so he got up and went outside to ask them to keep their voices down.As soon as Cui Jingxing opened the door, the willow branches were blown by the wind outside, and there was no one there, and everything was silent.

"Meow~"

Cui Jingxing turned his head to look, the white dog that looked like a fox was standing not far away, and the tabby cat was trampled under its feet.

The white dog stared at him motionlessly for a long time.

This Mu Mansion was really weird, Cui Jingxing closed the door calmly, lay down on the bed for a while, and the laughter outside appeared again.

This time, Cui Jingxing walked to the window lightly and carefully opened a crack.

Hundreds of fireflies dance in the yard, forming a small lamp.

Rows of black ants crawled from under the tree to the window.

This was originally the most common scene at night, but the group of ants kept talking!They shouted slogans in unison, "Hey hey hey hey, it thundered and rained, and they lay down in the nest. I don't worry about it every day, and it rains every night. The poor nest is flooded, so I moved to the window, hey hey hey. …”

The moonlight was gradually shrouded in dark clouds.

The colony of ants shouted, "Move quickly! Move quickly!"

Dense ants roared and crawled towards Cui Jingxing.

Cui Jingxing's body was slightly stiff, and he fell unconscious in front of the window sill.

It was bright the next day, and when Cui Jingxing woke up, his whole body was sore from being blown by the wind all night.He rubbed his temples, his movements froze suddenly, his fingertips trembled slightly and he pushed open the window.

"Hey!" Mu Qi suddenly showed a face from the window, "Master told you to have breakfast."

Cui Jingxing exhaled lightly, tidied his clothes, and glanced at the window after going out, there were indeed several piles of ant nests in front of the window.

Seeing him staring at the ant nest in a daze, Mu Qi said with a smile, "Did you hear the ants talking yesterday?"

Cui Jingxing was slightly vigilant.

Mu Qi blinked her eyes and tilted her head, "Is it fun?"

"Don't pay attention to him." Mu Shufeng walked over with his hands behind his back, "He likes to tease people the most. He was the one who hid in the dark to scare you last night."

Mu Qi puffed his mouth, as if he wanted to speak up to defend himself.

Mu Shufeng interrupted him, looked at Cui Jingxing and said, "Otherwise, do you really think there are monsters in this world?"

Cui Jingxing was silent for a moment. He never believed in ghosts and gods. Otherwise, when the nine members of the Mu family died tragically, why didn't ghosts and gods appear?

Mu Shufeng sneered, "I don't believe it."

Cui Jingxing said indifferently: "I don't believe it either."

"Let's go eat." Mu Shufeng gave Mu Qi a sideways look.

Mu Qi ran away aggrieved.

There was already a person sitting in the side hall, that person was over 50 years old, with white beard and hair, wearing a plain white gown, elegant and kind, he must be Mu Shufeng's father, Mu Bai.Cui Jingxing stood at the door, not knowing how to greet him.

Sure enough, Mu Bai smiled and said: "Come in, I'm his father. You can call me Uncle, you don't have to be restrained."

This is an elder with a good temper, Cui Jingxing relaxed in his heart, "Hello, Uncle." After paying respects, he took his seat.

Mu Bai picked up food for Cui Jingxing, looked at Cui Jingxing kindly, and said with a smile: "Shufeng never brings anyone back for the night, it seems that you are his first friend."

Cui Jingxing replied in a daze: "It's Mu Daren who is sympathetic to his subordinates."

Mu Bai smiled and said, "You don't have to be restrained, you can grab whatever you want."

"Thank you, Uncle." Cui Jingxing couldn't figure it out, how could such a kind person like Mu Bai raise such a eccentric son as Mu Shufeng?

"Meow~" the flower cat squatted on the threshold and yelled, then bent its body and walked towards Cui Jingxing.

Mu Bai lowered his eyes to look at it, and suddenly, with lightning speed, he stepped on the cat under his feet. The movement was so skillful, this childish behavior really didn't look like an old man in his 50s.

Huamao let out a couple of barks and lay down on the ground dispirited.

"..." Cui Jingxing was amazed at Mu Jia's peculiar family style. Seeing the pitiful meowing of the cat, Cui Jingxing bent down and fed it a piece of meat.

"Meow!" Huamao was refreshed again.
