The historian can't write

The ferocious animal face is embedded in the red lacquered high door, the auxiliary head is half exposed, with a tin ring in its mouth, and the surroundings are carved with cranes and different grasses, which shows how rich and prominent the family behind the door is.

Cui Jingxing stood at the door, pinched the cat to the creaking nest, rolled up the cuffs, pinched the tin ring and tapped it lightly.

"Crackling——" the high door opened a crack, and a man with wolf eyes and narrow face looked at Cui Jingxing from the crack, "What are you doing?"

This man's eyes are really terrifying, like a wolf in the wild, making people shudder.Cui Jingxing took two steps back with the cat in his arms and said, "I'm the editor of the History Museum, and I'm here to pay a visit to Mr. Mu."

The man turned his mouth and was about to refuse, but he glanced at the cat in his arms, but changed his mind, turned sideways to make way, "Come in."

Mu Shufeng hardly receives visitors, and there are very few people who have been to Mu's house. Most people can only look at the huge area of ​​Mu Mansion from the outside, but those who really enter it can find that Mu Mansion is not only amazing. The square area of ​​the entire house, and the exotic flowers and plants inside.

As soon as Cui Jingxing entered the gate, a scent of grass and trees came to his nostrils, and a forest garden in the house came into view as he looked around.

The old trees grow wantonly, the vines hang down from the branches, and there is only a winding path under the feet, and the roadside is full of weeds and flowers.Crisp birds chirped one after another among the trees, and insects and ants lined up under the grass.This doesn't look like a high-ranking official's residence, but it looks like a wild forest, and even the house can't be seen.

Cui Jingxing was surprised for a moment, and was stunned for a moment. Throughout the north and south, he had never seen such a house. Not only did Mu Shufeng have a strange temperament, but his taste was also different from ordinary people.

"Meow." The flower cat suddenly jumped out of his arms and ran along the path.

Cui Jingxing hurriedly chased after him, but his steps were slow and small, and he couldn't see the shadow of the cat after a while. When he looked back, the man who opened the door didn't follow, so he had to continue walking alone.

Lin Mei in this house is beautiful, but walking in it alone is a bit scary.

Cui Jingxing's ears were heard from time to time by the sudden shrill birdsong. He walked for a long time without seeing anyone, but he stayed in the sea of ​​books for many years and did not care about world affairs. What he lacked most was patience.Cui Jingxing rolled up his sleeves, carried his loose clothes, and walked down the path. Occasionally, there was no birdsong, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

"Clatter." The leaves were suddenly startled.Cui Jingxing's head was smashed, he raised his hand and grabbed a vine.

"It turned out that the ivy fell." Cui Jingxing let go of the vine, raised his hand to gently rub his aching head, supported the big tree next to him to rest for a while, and then continued walking.

As soon as he walked forward, the branches of the big tree behind him shook wildly like crazy.When Cui Jingxing heard the sound, he looked back and saw that the big tree had returned to its normal state, but the swaying leaves showed that Cui Jingxing had heard correctly.

At this time, Cui Jingxing suddenly remembered the rumor about Mu Shufeng.

Mu Shufeng was cast aside, civil and military officials bowed their heads in front of each other, and everyone scolded him behind their backs. This was not only because Mu Shufeng coerced the emperor to order the princes.Even if many people are dissatisfied with a powerful minister who is truly talented and knowledgeable, he will not have such one-sided criticism.In fact, the main reason is that Mu Shufeng's method of ascending to the top position is not glorious.

The first emperor became obsessed in his later years, indulged in seeking immortality and asking questions, and his court system was chaotic. At this time, Mu Shufeng, who was admitted to Jinshi in the same year as Cui Jingxing, was born.Mu Shufeng is proficient in some tricks, he can fetch objects from space, manipulate flowers, plants, animals and animals, and coaxed the late emperor to make him a national teacher.Of course, some loyal ministers wanted to expose Mu Shufeng's tricks, but in the end they couldn't find out how Mu Shufeng did it, which made the late emperor favor Mu Shufeng even more.

Later, when the first emperor was dying, Mu Shufeng went uncharacteristically and suddenly took over all the government affairs, and asked the already confused emperor to appoint him a prime minister. He made drastic reforms and abolished the post of national teacher. After the new emperor ascended the throne for three years, the entire court was There is no longer any opposition on the surface.

Not many people in the court today dare to mention the past when Mu Shufeng was a national teacher.

Cui Jingxing looked at the weird big tree behind him. He never believed in ghosts and gods. Those tricks of Mu Shufeng were played by folks before. It's not rumored, after all, these entertainers still rely on these amazing tricks to make money.

No wonder he hasn't seen the guards since he came to Mu Mansion for so long. It turned out that Mu Shufeng put those mechanism formations in his house as a defense. I don't know what mechanism structure this big tree is?

Cui Jingxing has read miscellaneous books about organ arrays, but he has never really come into contact with such things.Curious, he tucked a corner of the hem of his clothes into his belt, and was about to go back to study it, when he suddenly heard a cat meowing in front of him.He had no choice but to stop, sighed with some regret, turned and followed the meow and left.

"Meow meow!" The flower cat's cry became more and more urgent, as if it was threatened.

Cui Jingxing was still walking slowly, but his gait was no longer as dignified as before. He was sweating profusely, and finally walked around these big trees, and suddenly saw a white fox squatting at the intersection when he turned a corner.

The white fox stared at Cui Jingxing quietly, with the tabby cat under its feet.The cat didn't dare to move, it just meowed non-stop, and when it saw Cui Jingxing approaching, it meowed even louder.

Cui Jingxing murmured softly, "What a big fox." This fox is as tall as half a person, and its body is also big.

If he wanted to rescue the cat from under the white fox, a fight might be inevitable.Cui Jingxing raised his hand and tucked the hem of the clothes tucked into his belt, making sure that it would not fall off, and then he approached the white fox step by step.

The white fox stared at Cui Jingxing's movements, and suddenly opened his mouth, "Wow!"

"..." Cui Jingxing studied thousands of volumes of poems and books, no matter whether his words and deeds were deliberately disguised or not, he never said vulgar words, but today he couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, who put Good dog hair cut?Make it look like a fox.

Seeing that Cui Jingxing stopped suddenly, the white dog barked twice, "Wow, woof!"

At this time, Mu Shufeng's voice came from the front, "Is someone here?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Huh?" Mu Shufeng appeared in light green casual clothes. He was startled when he saw Cui Jingxing's familiar eyebrows, and then realized that the person in front of him was Cui Jingxing. He looked away, hiding all his disappointment.

Cui Jingxing hurriedly pulled the hem of his clothes out of his belt and put them down, and gave a rigid and standard salute, "I have seen Mr. Mu."

Mu Shufeng frowned slightly, and said with his hands behind his back: "There's no need to be polite, what's the matter with your sudden visit?" He didn't care at all about Cui Jingxing wandering around the mansion by himself, it seems that there was no one in the mansion to lead the way in the past.

Cui Jingxing took the jade pendant out of his arms in a calm manner, "I picked up a cat in the history museum, and the cat gave me a jade pendant. This jade pendant is very similar to the one on your waist."

Mu Shufeng didn't take the jade pendant, "You came here to return it?"

Cui Jingxing looked stern, "My master said, 'Don't do anything wrong with etiquette', this is not my property, so naturally it must be returned to the owner."

Mu Shufeng never imagined that there would be such a dull person in this world. Compared with this nerd, those old-fashioned people in the imperial court are inferior.He glanced at the cat under the white dog, and said, "No need, I gave this jade pendant to the cat. Since it was given to you, you can keep it."

Cui Jingxing looked hesitant when he heard the words, as if he wanted to decline, and he was about to quote scriptures.

Mu Shufeng saw his intention and interrupted him: "Do you have other things?"

Cui Jingxing said: "Originally there were some issues concerning the revision of the historical manuscript, but today I am not prepared. I don't know when my lord will be free. I will come to visit again?"

"It is also my duty to supervise the history museum. If you have anything to do, you can go to the Shangshu Mansion to find me."

Cui Jingxing got his promise, and immediately showed a sincere smile, "Thank you, my lord,"

Mu Shufeng saw that he was sweating profusely and his breathing was unstable, so he said, "Go into the room and rest for a while before leaving."

Unable to tolerate Cui Jingxing's response, the white dog ran over suddenly, bit Cui Jingxing's pants, and dragged him to the living room.Along the way, Cui Jingxing kept his eyes on the ground and walked with his own pace. Occasionally, he was dragged by the anxious white dog and staggered, but after he stood firmly, he continued to move forward slowly.

Mu Shufeng walked in front and had to stop from time to time to wait for Cui Jingxing. He looked at Cui Jingxing and suddenly said, "Your left leg is unsteady?"

Cui Jingxing wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve, paused his steps, and flashed a cold and dark dungeon in his mind, and those blood-stained instruments of torture passed by quickly in front of his eyes. Naturally, young people do not need to be punished, but being punished does not mean that someone will treat them kindly them.I thought that some past events could be forgotten, but they are still vivid when I mention them.

Cui Jingxing lowered his eyes, and his thick and slender eyelashes blocked his eyes, "Xiaguan suffered a slight injury to his left leg when he was young, and his family was poor. He couldn't raise money for medical treatment, so he fell into the root cause of the disease. However, if you walk slowly on weekdays, you can't see anything. .”

After hearing this, Mu Shufeng didn't ask any more questions.

The living room is the same as the living room of a normal dignified mansion, but there are no servants in the living room.After Cui Jingxing took his seat, the white dog lay at his feet.

Mu Shufeng sat down at the main seat, knocked on the table lightly, "Bailing, let's have some tea."

"Yes." A girlish voice suddenly appeared outside the window, and after a while, a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen came in with a cup of tea and set it on the table.

Cui Jingxing watched the girl leave, did this maid just stand outside the window?Why didn't he see anyone outside?

Holding the teacup, Mu Shufeng jokingly said, "Master Cui said, 'Do not look at evil'. Master Cui stared at a girl. Isn't it impolite?"

Cui Jingxing came back to his senses, his face was flushed, his lips trembled for a while but he couldn't say a word.

The corners of Mu Shufeng's mouth twitched slightly, he was really confused by Cui Jingxing's face, why would he be teasing a bookworm?He put down the teacup, "It's just a joke, Master Cui doesn't have to be so serious."

Cui Jingxing shook his head stubbornly and said: "Your Excellency is right, I was indeed rude just now, please also convey my apology to that girl on my behalf."

"..." Mu Shufeng took a sip of the white water in the teacup, not intending to answer his words,

"Meow." The cat came in through the window, jumped firmly into Cui Jingxing's arms, and squinted its eyes comfortably.

Hearing the movement, the white dog squatted up, raised its front paws, and took a picture of the cat. With lightning speed, it quickly stepped on the cat with its hind legs, and then lay down lazily.

"Meow meow!" Huamao couldn't struggle, and yelled twice dejectedly, it seemed that she was often bullied.

Cui Jingxing couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but leaned over and stroked the dog's hair, feeling a little nostalgic in his heart. His family once raised a little white milk dog.

It's just... Cui Jingxing withdrew his hand, but he was young and ignorant at that time, seeing the leaves below the leaves turned yellow in the pot of mimosa he raised, he thought the grass was dead, so he took the mimosa out of the pot with tears in his eyes. In the flower pot, I cried and fed it to the hungry howling little milk dog.

At that time, he thought, his father often said that one should be frugal and honest, and nothing should be wasted.

He didn't know that the mimosa was poisonous. Although the puppy finally vomited the mimosa, more than half of its white hair still fell out.From then on, the little milk dog hid away when he saw him, and his father put the pot of mimosa in a high place, so that he would not stuff it into his mouth someday.

Mu Shufeng looked at Cui Jingxing's side face, this nerd looks much more vivid, but looking inside and outside the hall, there are countless people who are afraid of him, this nerd is really dumb, he dared to come to his house, sitting for a long time seemed like There is no other purpose, just to return a jade pendant.

Cui Jingxing couldn't have been unaware of such a direct gaze on Cui Jingxing, but he didn't react immediately, and turned his head just in time to meet Mu Shufeng's gaze after a while, and was stunned, "My lord, you What are you staring at, the officer?"

Mu Shufeng looked away, "What's going on in the History Museum today?"

Cui Jingxing thought about it seriously for a long time, and recounted today's events meticulously. He went into every detail, which made Mu Shufeng drowsy.

"My lord," Cui Jingxing continued after recounting, "Yesterday you told me about Shi Cai's three masters. I went back and thought about it all night, but I still have a lot of puzzles."

Mu Shufeng raised his eyes to look at him this time, with a light of surprise in his eyes. After a long while, the light faded away, leaving only disappointment. He slowly said, "Diligence can't make up for one's weakness. Most good histories are born, and history knowledge doesn't mean that you have it." There is. Do you think you can come up with such a visionary statement as "the words of becoming a family" on your own?"

After hearing this, Cui Jingxing was greatly frustrated, and lowered his head again, without saying a word for a long time, as if he was extremely ashamed, "I, naturally, I can't compare with Tai Shigong."

Mu Shufeng remained silent. After all, this nerd is not that talented old man, so why should he demand Cui Jingxing with too high a standard?Mu Shufeng restrained all his emotions and continued: "You don't have to worry about it. A good history like Tai Shigong may not come out in a hundred years. If you can't be a Tai Shigong, you can also be a straightforward historian like Qi Taishi and Dong Hu .There are also rare historians with straight courage."

"Thank you sir for your guidance." Cui Jingxing smiled.

Mu Shufeng looked at the familiar eyebrows, and his heart moved slightly. Even though he had no bones, he still had skin. This similar appearance to his old friend made him a little more patient than usual, "Are there any other puzzles?"

Cui Jingxing asked two more questions, and Mu Shufeng answered them one by one.The white dog next to him had fallen asleep leaning on Cui Jingxing's leg at some point.The two asked and answered in this way, the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious, time passed unconsciously, and finally it was getting dark.

Cui Jingxing got up, bowed his hands and said: "I'm bothering you today, it's getting late, I'm taking my leave."

Mu Shufeng nodded slightly.

"Boom——" A thunderstorm fell, and then it rained suddenly.

This June day will change as soon as it is said, and no one can predict it.Cui Jingxing was stunned for a moment, "Can my lord lend me an umbrella?"

"There are no umbrellas in the house."

At this time, the umbrella sellers on the street should have not closed their stalls yet, Cui Jingxing pulled his sleeves to cover his head, and went out in the rain.

The white dog was awakened by the thunder, jumped up and barked.The flower cat was also woken up by it, lying on the ground and yawning.

Mu Shufeng looked at Cui Jingxing's thin back gradually disappearing in the rain curtain. With this bookworm's legs and feet, even if the rainstorm stopped, he might not be able to walk home.He was just acting arbitrarily in the hall, but he didn't have the habit of treating his subordinates harshly, "Mu Qi, call him back, let him wait for the rain to stop before leaving."

"Meow."

The author has something to say: The toxicity of mimosa is exaggerated in the article, and normal mimosa is not so toxic (mimosa contains the toxic amino acid mimosaline, too much exposure! Too much! May cause thinning eyebrows and yellow hair , and even cause hair loss, and the hair may not regrow).

Mimosa spokesperson Mu Shufeng: To love him is to hold him tightly until he has no hair to take off. (/o＼) Hee hee, shy (/o＼)

Cui Jingxing: Don't beat me! Σ(°△°|||)︴
