"Bound water to attack sand?"
Xiao Xun looked at Xue Mu in front of him and asked curiously: "What does it mean to use water to attack sand?"
Xue Mu knew that the first person in history to propose the river control strategy of "confining water and attacking sand" was Pan Jixun of the Ming Dynasty.
He explained: "In some rivers, if there is a lot of sand, if a bucket of river water is loaded, the sand can reach 60%. If there is flooding in autumn, the sand can even reach 80%. It takes 20% of the water to transport 80% of the sand. , if the water flow is not fast enough, then the sand will definitely sink to the bottom."
After Xiao Xun heard this, he nodded: "It is true. Most of the rivers in Cangzhou are dominated by the Yellow River with river sand."
He then looked at Xue Mu: "Then what do you mean by using water to attack sand?"
Xue Mu replied: "It is to artificially tighten the river channel and use the momentum of the water to impact the sediment at the bottom of the river bed, thereby achieving the purpose of dredging and preventing floods. However, it can only be applied to rivers with larger flows."
Xiao Qingyue asked curiously at this time: "If we tighten the river channel and then use the momentum of the water to impact, wouldn't the people on both sides of the river be in danger?"
"So we have to strengthen the dams on both sides of the river, and at the same time, dig diversions to reduce the risk of the main river." Xue Mu added.
He then asked Xiao Xun: "Where is the flood?"
"Cangzhou, do you know?" Xiao Xun asked.
Xue Mu shook his head: "Although I don't know the specific location of Cangzhou, we can adapt to local conditions based on the conditions upstream and north and south. If there is a water shortage in the north, water can be diverted from the south to the north."
"South-to-North Water Diversion?!" Xiao Xun became even more surprised after hearing this new word.
Xue Mu heard his shocked tone and thought that this was not surprising.
After all, the South-to-North Water Diversion Plan was proposed by a great teacher.
Now used here, it can be regarded as overkill.
"There is more water in the south and less water in the north. It's okay to borrow some water." Xue Mu explained.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun immediately walked into the room.
Xiao Qingyue saw that her father's brows seemed to relax, which meant that the problem was solved.
She looked at Xue Mu and said excitedly: "Mr. Xue, you are really amazing. I didn't expect you to be proficient in flooding methods."
Xue Mu smiled awkwardly: "Actually, these are the ideas of our ancestors, I just borrowed them."
“Mr. Keep teaching me."
"good."
Xue Mu didn't expect that this time he would be familiar with it.
Xiao Qingyue actually took the initiative to hold his hand.
It's not like the old master's daughter.
After all, in his impression, the old gentlemen who could become the Imperial College must be pedantic and difficult to adapt to.
Unexpectedly, his daughter was so open-minded.
After closing the door, Xiao Qingyue immediately sat in front of him and said excitedly: "Sir, what are we going to learn today?"
"What do you want to learn?" Xue Mu asked.
Xiao Qingyue thought for a while and explained: "How about you tell me more about how to control floods."
"Actually, different places have different methods of water control. Please tell me about Cangzhou's geographical location first. In this way, I can learn more about it."
"Well, it's like this. Cangzhou is located in a lower position. There is a main river named Zhenjiang. There are many residents living near the Zhenjiang River. Most of them also make a living by fishing. It can be said that this The Zhenjiang River feeds a lot of people, but it has both advantages and disadvantages. Frequent rains often cause the embankments to burst, leaving many victims homeless for a while."
at the same time.
In the palace, Zhao Ruoli was thinking about Cangzhou's flood control method.
She looked at the map of Daqing and drew a circle on the location of Cangzhou.
Then he observed the surrounding terrain.
After a while, she wrote a few words on a piece of white paper.
[Use the water from the Zhen River to lower the river bed, wash away the sand, and repair the dams on both sides. 】
The maid Qing'er on the side handed her a glass of water and reminded her: "Your Highness, it's time for you to drink water."
Zhao Ruoli nodded.
Qing'er asked at this time: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, are you thinking about Cangzhou's method of flooding?"
Zhao Ruoli replied: "Yes, floods in Cangzhou have become more and more frequent in the past two years. We must find a fundamental method to completely rectify this flood disaster."
Qing'er looked at the words written on the paper and asked curiously: "Your Royal Highness, can this water still wash away sand?"
"As long as the water flow is strong enough, that's fine." Zhao Ruoli explained.
Qing'er sighed with emotion: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is really smart, since she can come up with such a novel method of controlling water."
Zhao Ruoli said: "This method alone is not enough. It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It is similar to the methods of my two nephews. Your Majesty will not be satisfied."
As she spoke, she looked at the map again.
After looking at it, she suddenly asked: "Qing'er, I remember your hometown is Ningzhou, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
"Are there frequent droughts?"
"Since Qing'er can remember, there seem to have been several droughts."
Zhao Ruoli's eyes lit up slightly, and then she said to him: "You will go to the Ministry of Works later and ask the people from the Ministry of Works to show Ningzhou's natural disaster records in the past few years to me."
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
Qing'er was about to leave.
At this time, the maid at the door came in: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, the Imperial Academy Xiao is offering wine, and Mr. Xiao is requesting an audience."
Zhao Ruoli was curious about what Xiao Xun was doing at this time.
She nodded: "Let Mr. Xiao come in."
Soon, Xiao Xun walked in.
As early as just now, after he wrote a note, he immediately entered the palace.
When he arrived at the eldest princess's bedroom, he offered her with both hands and said, "Your Highness, the eldest princess."
At this time, Zhao Ruoli was a little surprised.
She asked: "Sir, have you found a way to control the floods in Cangzhou?"
"Exactly." Xiao Xun responded.
Zhao Ruoli then looked at Qing'er and asked her to bring up the fold.
After being able to open the folder and take a look, Qing'er behind him was a little surprised and said: "Your Highness, Princess Xiao, Master Xiao is just like you, he also washes the sand with water."
Zhao Ruoli nodded and looked at the contents on the brochure.
[The water will be slow, and the sand will stop when the water is slow. When the sand stops, the river will be full. All water of any size will have a sand surface, and it will only reach its height.
When the water combines, the force is strong, when the force is strong, sand is brushed away, and when sand is brushed away, the river is deep. The bottom of the river will be found even if the water is ten feet high, and it will only be seen as low as possible.
Build embankments to contain the water and use water to attack the sand. If the water does not overflow on both sides, it will flow straight to the bottom of the river. There is a certain principle and an inevitable trend. The reason why this combination is better than its separation. 】
[This is the method of collecting water to wash away the sand. 】
After reading it, Zhao Ruoli didn't have much expression on her face.
However, she looked at Xiao Xun and said happily: "Sir, this method is quite strange. I was thinking about this just now."
Xiao Xun was amused: "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has a quick mind and suddenly thought of how to control the water."
"However, this method of water-removing sand can be said to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If one day, more and more sand is piled on the river bed, wouldn't it mean that the dams on both sides will be built higher and higher?" Zhao Ruoli asked rhetorically.
Xiao Xun then came up with a second tip: "Your Highness, Princess, this is another way to control water."
Qing'er immediately went down and brought up the fold.
Zhao Ruoli looked at the content on the brochure. When she saw the four words "South to North Water Diversion", she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Because before that, she noticed that the north of Cangzhou was Ningzhou, which had been hit by drought.
If the water from Cangzhou is transferred to Ningzhou.
First, some of the main rivers in Cangzhou can be separated.
Secondly, coming to Ningzhou will reduce the possibility of drought.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Zhao Ruoli looked at the contents of the brochure and sighed: "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to come up with such a novel idea."
Xiao Xun said at this time: "Actually, this method is not what I thought."
"Oh?" Zhao Ruoli was a little curious: "Could it be Qingyue?"
"No." Xiao Xun smiled awkwardly: "Actually, he is Qingyue's teacher."
Zhao Ruoli was a little surprised after hearing this, and then asked: "Is this the young master I saw at the door of the room that day?"
"Exactly." Xiao Xun replied: "Today he came to the house to teach Yue'er. Qingyue saw that I was thinking about controlling the flood in Cangzhou, so she went to ask for advice. Both of these methods were also Qingyue's. It was proposed by Mr. Yue’s teacher.”
He also said with some embarrassment and shame: "I didn't expect that after decades of teaching, I am not even as good as a young person."
Zhao Ruoli quickly comforted her: "Sir, there is no need to blame yourself. Doesn't this just show that we in Daqing are full of talents, one generation after another?"
After hearing this, Xiao Xun nodded happily: "Indeed."
Zhao Ruoli then asked: "Who is the name of Qingyue's teacher? Does he know?"
"The name is Xue Mu."
"Xue Mu."
Zhao Ruoli couldn't help but read.
She looked at Xiao Xun: "You don't need to tell him about this for now. I will be grateful to him in the future."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, the old minister will take his leave first."
"Qing'er, send Mr. Xiao off."
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess..."
Not long after, Xiao Xun left the palace.
Qing'er also returned to Zhao Ruoli's side.
At this time, Zhao Ruoli said: "Qing'er, go find General Meng Zhi and ask him to check on this person named Xue Mu."
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
Wait for Qing'er to leave.
Zhao Ruoli looked at the folder in her hand again. The content on it echoed the horizontal line she had just drawn on the map.
Somehow, she suddenly recalled the scene of Xue Mu throwing the pot that day.
"Xue Mu."
Of course Xue Mu didn't know that the method of controlling floods he casually mentioned had been written into the memorial by Zhao Ruoli, and he was going to use it when he went to court the next day.
After he gave Xiao Qingyue a scientific introduction to the South-to-North Water Diversion method, it was getting late and he was ready to go home.
Back home, Leng Mei and Xu Ruyan happened to have prepared the meal.
"Sir, are you back?" Xu Ruyan said happily.
Xue Mu was curious: "What did you cook today?"
Leng Mei explained: "There is something you like to eat."
"Oh? Really? Then I have to taste it."
With that said, Xue Mu sat down.
Xu Ruyan gave him a piece of meat and explained: "Sir, you have been too busy recently, please eat more."
"You eat too, so it won't be convenient for me to pick it up for you. After all, I can't see your bowls." Xue Mu laughed.
Leng Mei saw that he was in a good mood, so she deliberately said: "Actually, this is good. If you can't see our appearance, you won't dislike us in the future."
Xu Ruyan also nodded: "Yes, if the young master's eyes heal, if I don't agree with the young master, it will be miserable then."
Xue Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You guys still don't want my eyes to be better, right?"
"Of course not, it's just that the young master will definitely become a high official in the future, and there will inevitably be more beautiful women like Yan around him. Then he will be afraid that the new ones will win over the old ones." Xu Ruyan tested.
Xue Mu knew that these two ladies were working together to test him tonight.
He once again used the scumbag's quotation: "I, Xue Mu, even if I regain my sight in the future, I will never abandon Ruyan and Sister Leng. If I violate my oath, I will be beaten to death."
If you are familiar with it, the plot is familiar.
Familiar next step.
Sure enough, Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei both picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Xue Mu's mouth.
They both said in unison: "Bah, bah, bah."
Xue Mu said happily: "You should believe me now."
"Believe, believe~"
"Come on, come on, I'll give you an extra piece."
After dinner, Xue Mu sneaked into Xu Ruyan's room while Leng Mei returned to her room.
Xu Ruyan blushed slightly when she saw him coming.
She then asked: "Master, do you want it tonight?"
Xue Mu sat down, held her in his arms, smelled the light fragrance on her neck, and said, "We will talk about those things later. Now we have business to do."
"What's the business?" Xu Ruyan felt that if Xue Mu came into her room at night, that's the only business.
Xue Mu explained: "We have made a total of nearly one thousand taels from the first and second volumes of "The Romance of the West Chamber", so we will pursue our success and publish another storybook."
Xu Ruyan was a little surprised: "Mu Lang, can you write another storybook?"
"Of course."
Xue Mu explained: "As long as you want to write, you can write endlessly."
Xu Ruyan said quickly: "Mu Lang, please tell me quickly and I will write it down."
"This story is originally called "Dream of Red Mansions"."
"A Dream of Red Mansions?"
"Um."
Xue Mu knew that as soon as "Dream of Red Mansions" comes out, it will surely arouse the enthusiasm of countless wealthy people.
It takes the rise and fall of the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue as the background, takes the wealthy son Jia Baoyu as the perspective, and takes the tragedy of love and marriage between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai as the main line.
It depicts the various aspects of life of some beauties in the boudoir, showing the true beauty of humanity and tragedy.
It can be said to be an epic work that shows female beauty and various aspects of ancient Chinese society from all angles.
As the saying goes.
There are three types of people who make the best money.
Women, old people and children.
Among them, as long as women's minds are captured, they will go crazy.
Xue Mu even thought about it, updating chapters twice a week, and even occasionally breaking chapters when encountering the climax of the plot.
At that time, those wealthy ladies may feel itchy in their hearts.
Not only that, this "Dream of Red Mansions" can also make countless literary talents fall into reverie.
You know, anyone in this book can have it except Grandma Liu, who cannot accept it.
Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Qin Keqing, Shi Xiangyun, etc.
Presumably it will also stir up discussions among literati in the capital.
"When the Nuwa family was refining stones to mend the sky, they made 36,501 stubborn stones at Wuji Cliff in the Dahuang Mountain with a height of 12 feet and a diameter of 24 feet. The Emperor Wa only used 30,000 stones. Six thousand five hundred yuan, only one piece was left unused, and was abandoned at the foot of Qinggeng Peak on this mountain."
Xue Mu slowly told the story of "Dream of Red Mansions" based on his own memory.
Xu Ruyan was immersed in the story while recording.
Early the next morning, Xue Mu got up quietly.
Last night, Xu Ruyan pestered herself and insisted on finishing the first ten chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions".
I kept talking until late at night to get it done.
Xu Ruyan also said that she had never heard such a wonderful story before.
She firmly believes that this storybook will be loved by many wealthy people.
Xue Mu naturally knew it too.
Seeing that Xu Ruyan still wanted to listen, he hugged her to bed.
The attention suddenly shifted.
Therefore, he got up gently, for fear of waking up Xu Ruyan, who was still sleeping soundly.
After all, this girl was tortured by him last night.
After getting dressed, he walked out.
After walking out of the house, stretching, Xue Mu walked in the direction of the publishing house.
In the publishing house, shopkeeper Zhou Qingshan was taking care of the storybook in front of the door.
Then a figure came to him.
As soon as he raised his head, he immediately became excited: "Agui, you are finally here, but you have kept me waiting."
Xue Mu smiled and then said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, long time no see."
"Yeah, you know it's been a long time since we last met. Ever since you gave me the second volume of "The Romance of the West Chamber", you've never been here again, and you didn't even get your share of the profits. I thought you and your lady were both here. No more."
Xue Mu explained: "I have been busy recently, so I have been delayed for a while. Besides, I also believe that shopkeeper Zhou's character is as good as this."
Zhou Qingshan said helplessly: "You are not bad at this moment, but I am bad. You don't know that since the second volume of "The Romance of the West Chamber" was sold, countless rich ladies want to know who the author of this story is. Who, they block my door every day, it can be said that I am miserable."
Xue Mu smiled: "Isn't boss Zhou's business getting better and better?"
"They just love to read your young lady's story. They don't even take a look at other stories now. Agui, tell me honestly, do you have any new stories when you come to my place today?"
Xue Mu nodded: "That's true, shopkeeper, this is my lady's new manuscript."
"Since there is a new manuscript, I have to take a good look at it." Before taking the manuscript, he even wiped his hands with his clothes to avoid spoiling it.
Xue Mu was waiting calmly on the side.
Although he couldn't see Zhou Qingshan's expression clearly, judging from his tone, he could already feel how interested Shopkeeper Zhou was in the content of the first two chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions".
I saw Zhou Qingshan holding the manuscript and asking excitedly: "Agui, does this manuscript have a name?"
"It's famous, it's called Dream of Red Mansions."
""Dream of Red Mansions". It's such a good feeling. Are there only these two manuscripts?"
"Yes, my lady said that from now on, this storybook will be published in a serial format, with one chapter every three days." Xue Mu replied.
Zhou Qingshan reacted immediately, and he immediately said: "That's good. One chapter every three days will attract those rich ladies, enough to make them linger."
Zhou Qingshan also knew the gold content of this movie. He then took the initiative and said: "Well, in order to show my sincerity, I decided to divide the profit this time 28%, I will give you 80%."
"Oh? Shopkeeper Zhou, are you so generous this time?"
Zhou Qingshan smiled and explained embarrassedly: "The main thing is that I'm afraid that you will choose other publications. If the sales situation of "The Romance of the West Chamber" is based on, then this "Dream of Red Mansions" will probably only sell more popularly." If I succeed, I can earn a lot of money."
"In that case, it's settled."
Soon, the manuscript was handed over to Shopkeeper Zhou.
The contract is signed.
The silver divided last time was also settled.
It can be said that Xue Mu left with a lot of money.
As soon as he walked out of the publishing house, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"I said, Lao Jia, please stop following me. I finally managed to get out."
Another middle-aged man smiled and said: "My dear prince, this prince said that when you go out, I must follow you."
"It's so boring." The young man shook his sleeves and then strode forward.
He looked closely at the little thief who was about to steal something not far away, and immediately shouted: "Little thief! Don't run away!"
With that said, he rushed over.
Old Jia's mood changed immediately, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
Although he shouted "Don't run away, little prince", he was always alert to the surrounding situation.
His mere movement was analyzed by Xue Mu based on his vision.
This butler is definitely a master.
Although the tone was different from the tone of his conversation just now, maybe it was just an act.
Last time, Xue Mu guessed that this young man must not be simple.
Otherwise, the servants around him would not be experts.
On the other side, after Zhao Jingyan caught the thief, he said angrily: "You kid, how dare you steal money in front of my prince."
The thief felt guilty, but he still said stubbornly: "I didn't. Where was it stolen? What evidence do you have."
Zhao Jingyan replied: "I watched you steal it with my own eyes, and the purse was in your arms."
At this time, the owner of the stolen money bag hurried over and said angrily: "You are the one who stole my silver. Please return the money bag to me quickly."
The thief still said reluctantly: "If you can find the money bag on me, I will let you do whatever you want!"
"Okay, this is what you said, the guy who doesn't know how to live or die!" Zhao Jingyan said, grabbing his clothes and touching them.
He frowned, then grabbed his sleeve again.
But after searching for a long time, no money bag was found on him.
When the thief saw this, he said angrily: "You have unjustly accused me of stealing money without any evidence. I will report it to the government and take you all to the government."
The housekeeper Lao Jia then stepped forward and said, "Who do you think you are! Believe it or not, I will slap you with my big mouth!"
The thief immediately shouted: "Hit someone! Beaten someone!"
When Zhao Jingyan heard this, he was a little anxious: "You! Shut up! We didn't beat you! Let's talk about the evidence!"
The owner seemed a little nervous. He couldn't find the money bag on the thief. If he reported it to the police, he would be wronged.
The owner quickly asked Zhao Jingyan: "This young master, did you really see him steal my wallet?"
Zhao Jingyan immediately said: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, but it's strange that he doesn't have a money bag on him."
He looked back at the housekeeper and asked, "Old Jia, do you know where he hid the money bag?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Young prince, I don't know."
At this time, the situation on both sides seemed to be slowly turning around.
The thief became more and more arrogant. He even said bluntly: "If you can't find the money bag, I will report it to the police unless you are willing to compensate me."
"If you compensate for your size, you will be stealing money." Zhao Jingyan determined.
"Then you should find the evidence."
At this time, the person behind the thief suddenly spoke: "Jump now."
The thief was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Xue Mu and asked, "What did you say?"
Xue Mu replied calmly: "You jump now."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Didn't you say that all you need to do is find the money bag? You just need to jump and I can find the money bag."
The thief felt guilty all of a sudden. He hesitated: "I will dance if you ask me to do it. Where can I put my face as a young master?"
Zhao Jingyan took out a token and said angrily: "I am Prince Jing, and I order you to dance for me now."
The thief never expected that the young master in front of him turned out to be King Jing.
He suddenly became frightened and had no choice but to jump a little.
At this time, Xue Mu reminded: "You jump again."
The thief was about to get angry, but Zhao Jingyan waved the token again.
There was no other way, the thief had no choice but to do it.
This time, he jumped a little wider.
At this time Xue Mu replied: "The money bag is inside your shoe."
The owner was very surprised.
Zhao Jingyan immediately said to the housekeeper: "Old Jia, help me take off this man's shoes immediately."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
As he said this, Lao Jia came up with a powerful force, pressed down on the thief, and took off his shoes.
The thief was very panicked. He kept rolling around and struggling: "What on earth do you want to do? Let me go quickly. Don't think that because you are a prince, you can bully the people at will."
Zhao Jingyan also took action himself. While dragging his shoes, he reminded: "As King Jing, I have never oppressed the people. Remember this!"
The next second, the shoes were taken off.
The money bag fell to the ground.
There was a thumping sound.
The owner quickly picked it up and said happily: "This is my purse, it's mine."
Zhao Jingyan looked at the housekeeper and said, "Old Jia, hurry up and report to the officials and arrest this person."
"okay!"
Zhao Jingyan looked at the thief triumphantly: "I'm asking you now, do you have anything to say?"
The thief looked nervous and didn't know how to explain it.
Finally, he was taken to the government by the housekeeper Lao Jia.
At the same time, Zhao Jingyan turned around and found Xue Mu preparing to leave.
He quickly followed.
“Mr.
Xue Mu smiled and then said: "Actually, Mr. Zhao's sharp eyesight saw through the cunning tactics of the thief."
"By the way, Mr. Xue, there's one thing I don't quite understand, and that's how you knew he put the money bag into his shoes?" Zhao Jingyan knew that Xue Mu couldn't see, so he couldn't have seen it with his own eyes, right? ?
Xue Mu explained: "When he was running just now, there was the sound of copper coins on his body, which means he must have a money bag on him. Mr. Zhao has searched all over his body, so the only ones left were hidden in his shoes. .”
Zhao Jingyan was surprised after hearing this.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xue's thinking is so thoughtful. I, um, I admire him very much. I wonder if Mr. Xue can reward me and make me a friend."
Xue Mu actually already knew his identity as the prince.
In the past, he was not strong enough and always wanted to survive.
But now I have the opportunity to get to know some of the so-called backers.
Then even if something goes wrong, someone will be able to tell the truth.
So he cupped his hands and said, "It is my fate that Xue Mu can meet such a righteous man like Mr. Zhao."
"Okay, then it's settled. Oh, by the way, I happen to be going to Guiyue Tower for tea. Mr. Xue, do you want to come with me?"
Xue Mu replied: "Mr. Zhao, I still have to go on duty, so I can only wait for another day."
"I wonder where Master Xue is employed?" Zhao Jingyan asked.
"Divine Catcher." Xue Mu didn't hide anything and said directly.
When Zhao Jingyan heard this, his face showed joy.
Just at this time, the housekeeper Lao Jia trotted over. He clapped his hands and said, "My young prince, the thief has been sent to the government."
"Lao Jia!"
"The villain is here."
"Go to the Divine Catching Division, find Nangong Xue, tell her that I have something to do with Xue Mu, and ask her to approve a half-day leave."
"Ah?" Old Jia, the housekeeper, was stunned.
"Ah what, go quickly."
With that said, Zhao Jingyan put his arm around Xue Mu's shoulder and said, "It's okay. I'm familiar with your boss Nangong Xue. Based on my friendship with her, there will be no problem."
Seeing that Zhao Jingyan was about to leave, Lao Jia quickly said: "Hey, little prince, don't leave me behind."
"You go to the Divine Catching Division first, and then go to Guiyue Tower to find me!! Go quickly!!"
Zhao Jingyan looked at Lao Jia, frowning and wanting to get angry.
But Lao Jia ran away quickly.
"This guy! He ran away very quickly." Zhao Jingyan was speechless.
Xue Mu asked curiously: "My lord, do you know Nangong Xue Qianhu?"
Zhao Jingyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know that I am the prince?"
"I was on the field when the prince held the token just now. Although I couldn't see it, I could hear it." Xue Mu smiled.
Zhao Jingyan was embarrassed: "I even forgot about this."
He then waved his hand and said: "From now on, we can just call each other by our first names. There is no need to call us prince."
"Then how did Young Master Zhao know Nangong Xue Qianhu?" Xue Mu asked.
"Nangong Xue, Nangong Xue, lived in my house for a while when she was a child. Something seemed to have happened to her family at that time. My father and her father were close friends," Zhao Jingyan replied.
Xue Mu suddenly realized, "I see. If you put it this way, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Nangong have known each other since childhood."
"It's not really an acquaintance. This woman has been cold and cold since she was a child. She is not close to anyone except my mother. When I accidentally dropped her sword on the ground, she actually..." Zhao Jingyan suddenly felt that the following story belonged to him. The embarrassment was over, so he changed the subject: "We won't mention her anymore. Speaking of Mr. Xue, I have been to the Divine Catching Division before. Why haven't I seen you?"
"I have only been in the Divine Catcher Division for a month."
"I see. By the way, have there been two or three major cases in the capital recently?"
"So be it."
"Just in time, let's go to Guiyue Tower and talk in detail. Does the young master like beautiful women?"
Xue Mu smiled: "Why did Mr. Zhao say that?"
"If Mr. Xue likes beautiful women, I will ask the madams of Guiyue Tower to ask their oiran to accompany us to drink. However, I see that Mr. Xue is talented and has extraordinary temperament, so I think he should not do it."
"Ahem." Xue Mu interrupted at this time: "Actually, Mr. Zhao and I are destined to spend more time chatting, and we can also ask some courtesans to pour wine for us to save us these trivial time."
"Master Xue is right! Then let's ask three courtesans to pour wine for us!!"
(End of chapter)
