Chapter 94 Nursing

When Duan Ling woke up the next day, Wu Du was in a daze in the hall, facing the clean porridge and breakfast on the table, and waited for Duan Ling to get up.

"I have to go to study today." Wu Du said to Duan Ling with a bowl in his hand.

Duan Ling was a little nervous when he thought about going to study, as if he was back in Shangjing that year. Li Jianhong said, "Son, it's time to go to study today."

Every time he hopes that his father can always be with him. It would be great if they were not separated. When they entered the Piyong Pavilion, it felt like they were in prison.

I don’t know if Lang Junxia will come to kill him again. Although Lang Junxia may not have this free time, will he have told Cai Yan?

"Then what are you doing at home?" Duan Ling asked.

"I will guard you." Wu Du said, "Don't be afraid."

Duan Ling said: "It shouldn't be needed. When Mu Qing was there, Chang Liujun was always there. I think that who... probably doesn't dare to come in and cause trouble for me."

Wu Du looked at Duan Ling, and Duan Ling said again: "Your injury has not healed yet, don't move around."

"The feet are almost done," Wu Du said, "You can use a sword with your right hand."

Duan Ling thought that Wu Du would want to squat on the beam of the house to watch him study. That was so tiring. He was so troubled every day. It would be impossible to make him obey orders with the status of the prince. Wu Du would be angry.

"I stay at home and sleep." Wu Du said, "Eat quickly, go after eating, stop talking about everything."

Duan Ling had no choice but to give up and said, "If you see Changliujun, don't fight."

Wu Du replied: "Of course, I don't have the same knowledge as him."

After dinner, Duan Ling wanted to clean up, but Wu Du told him to go quickly and leave. Duan Ling had to pick up the book and go out. He looked back and saw that Wu Du was cleaning up the dishes and the border yard did not allow servants to come in, so he threw all the things in the wooden basin and put them outside the door and waited for someone to collect them.

"I'm leaving, don't go." Duan Ling said to Wu Du.

Wu Du made a gesture and signaled you to go quickly.

Duan Ling circled around, and the new prime minister's mansion was much larger than the one in Xichuan. When he arrived in the book hall, Mu Qing and his husband had already been waiting. Duan Ling hurriedly accused him of his crime and still sat opposite Mu Qing according to the previous rules. A moment later, Chang Liujun came in, sat down beside Mu Qing, and moved Zhang Chou and sat cross-legged.

"What are you here to do?" Mu Qing asked.

Chang Liujun covered her face, and said a little unhappy, saying, "Learn with you."

Duan Ling glanced curiously and saw Chang Liujun holding a book called "Thousand Characters" and remembered that Mu Kuangda had said before that he was illiterate and almost sprayed tea on the desk. He thought that he must have been stabbed to the pain by Wu Du last night, so he decided to be a literate assassin from now on, right?

"Do you remember reading before?" said the gentleman, "Do it again."

"Yes." Duan Ling has a good memory. He memorized three chapters after reading "The University" before leaving Xichuan. The gentleman nodded and began to teach the article. He said to Mu Qing: "You have been playing for a long time. Today, I will be retracted. Wang Shan is back. If you are careless, don't blame me for hitting your hand-in-law."

Duan Ling only realized that Mu Qing had not studied much since he moved the capital, and he was really the first and second.

"Huang." Duan Ling said to Chang Liujun beside him, "The heaven and earth are so dark and yellow."

Chang Liujun nodded, not daring to make a sound.

"Wang Shan, what do you do on your head?" said the gentleman.

"Nothing." Duan Ling said, "I slept so hard that my neck twisted when I slept."

Duan Ling searched for Wu Du's figure on the beam, but never noticed it. Chang Liujun was there, so Wu Du was no longer used. However, within a moment, the sound of wooden clogs came from the corridor.

"Who built a house?" Wu Du said, "I'm so confused that Mu Xiang himself won't get lost in the mansion?"

Several people in the book hall glanced at Wu Du. Wu Du kicked his clogs, bowed and put them down, walked in barefoot, first worshiped the master, then moved a table table, and sat down next to Duan Ling.

Everyone: "…"

"You are here too." Mu Qing said.

"I will accompany him to study." Wu Du replied, "There is no difference in teachings. Master, did you say that?"

The Master said: "There is no distinction between teachings and no fights in the school."

Duan Ling didn't expect that Wu Du's "guarding" was so open and he felt funny immediately. Wu Du pointed at Duan Ling's paper and ink, signaling him not to worry about himself, accidentally glanced at the "Thousand Character Text" held in Chang Liujun's hand, and said in surprise: "Chang Liujun, are you illiterate?"

At that moment, the atmosphere seemed to solidify.

"He is a reviewer." Mu Qing said immediately.

"Reviewing the old and knowing the new can make you a teacher." Duan Ling added.

Chang Liujun: “…”

Wu Du nodded and stopped asking more questions. Chang Liujun was sweating when he saw it, but he did not dare to read it out loud. The Master urged the two of them to do something, so he got up and went out.

As soon as the Master left, Duan Ling and Mu Qing both relaxed and fell from the corner. Mu Qing drank last night and was still dizzy. He lay on the table and dozed off. Duan Ling lazily leaned against the handrail by the desk and put a kick on Wu Du's thigh. The sun shone brightly in the autumn, shining in from the pane, making everyone warm. Duan Ling suddenly felt that life was so beautiful that even reading became meaningful and no longer lonely.

"Wang Shan." Mu Qing looked a little chewy and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you, teach me."

Duan Ling was about to get up, but Wu Du said, "It's not yet noon, what are you doing?"

Mu Qing had to continue sitting, moving around, until the Master came back and read the articles made in front of the two and ringing the bell outside, and then agreed to put the meal. The four of them lined up in a row and sat on the wooden board of the corridor a little higher, holding the food box in their hands, and eating while talking. Mu Qing and Chang Liujun were called away halfway through the meal, leaving Duan Ling and Wu Du.

"Guess where they went?" Duan Ling said to Wu Du.

"I think I'm meeting a guest," Wu Du replied, "I'll go eat something delicious. Do you want to eat?"

Duan Ling waved his hand. The afternoon autumn wind was pleasant, and the leaves were rustling, the wind chimes were jingling, and the sun shone in. Jiangzhou was really a good place, with clear seasons, unlike Xichuan, which was always gloomy and gloomy.

Seeing that Duan Ling was exhausted, Wu Du let him lean on him. The two leaned against each other in the corridor and took a nap. When he woke up, Duan Ling rubbed his eyes. Before Mu Qing returned, Wu Du taught him to practice swords for a while. Each man and a wooden ruler were held behind him. Wu Du did not step, but stood tall in the courtyard and gestured with Duan Ling.

"The shoulders are raised too high," Wu Du said, "The key to the mountain-sliding style lies in the arms. If the shoulders are not on the shoulders, they will be cut when they are lifted."

Duan Ling did as he did, and suddenly slashed forward. Wu Du turned around. Duan Ling almost fell down. Wu Du laughed, grabbed his waist with one hand, hugged him up and stood up straight.

"Come again." Wu Du said, "I'll wait for my feet another day and teach you how to jump over the wall to practice light skills."

Mu Qing came back and threw something to Duan Ling, saying, "For you."

It was a coral bead. Duan Ling could tell at a glance that it was from the Yuan people. The Mu family had never had such beads before.

"Where did it come from?" Duan Ling asked.

"Dad gave it to you." Mu Qing said, "I'll give you one too. Are you learning swords? Can I learn it too?"

When Wu Du saw Mu Qing give Duan Ling something, he felt it was not easy to take it for nothing, so he taught him a few tricks. Duan Ling and Mu Qing were practicing back and forth. Chang Liujun looked around for a while and said, "You teach them the sword technique of mountains and rivers?"

"It's all your business." Wu Du replied.

Duan Ling: "..."

Wu Du is the only one left in the White Tiger Hall, so he is naturally the leader. He likes to teach whoever he wants. Chang Liujun couldn't interfere, so he had to watch it. Finally, he asked again: "Have you found the mental method?"

"No." Wu Du replied.

Chang Liujun sneered and said casually: "If you don't have the mental method, practice a ghost's sword."

"Read your book." Wu Du said impatiently, "Why are you so long-winded?"

Chang Liujun: “…”

Starting from this day, Wu Du and Chang Liujun both joined Duan Ling and Mu Qing's study ranks. Chang Liujun occasionally went to accompany Mu Kuangda, but Wu Du was there almost every day. The weather gradually cooled down. When the fire brazier was set in the Deshu Hall, the first snow in winter came, and the day only made people even more lazy. As soon as winter began, Wu Du was like a warm stove, and his whole body was warm, which could both soften his hands and feet, and was inseparable from Duan Ling all day long, making Mu Qing full of jealousy.

The snow in Jiangzhou is dense and very clean, fluttering in the wind, and all the plants are covered with a thin layer of white veil. Today, Wu Du just arrived in the book hall and was called away by Mu Kuangda. The remaining Duan Ling and Mu Qing roasted fire in the brazier and told jokes. A moment later, Wu Du hurried over and said to Duan Ling outside the book hall: "I have to go into the palace."

"Is something happened?" Duan Ling asked.

"I don't know." Wu Du said, "It is said that a foreign envoy has arrived. His Majesty personally told me to go in and meet me."

Duan Ling said: "Then go, are you going to wait for you to have dinner in the evening?"

"I'm afraid of giving a banquet." Wu Du replied, "I will definitely come back tonight, you..."

Duan Ling knew that Wu Du's second sentence was "Be careful yourself", so he understood it and nodded at him. Nearly three months after returning to Jiangzhou, Lang Junxia had never come to kill him, and the prince did not take any action. Could it be that he did not want to touch him? Duan Ling often relaxed his vigilance, but had to force himself to cheer up and remind himself to be careful.

"Shan." Mu Qing said to Duan Ling, and Duan Ling had just come back to his senses and said, "Learn, you'll have to take the exam in the first month."

Duan Ling thought it was strange that Mu Qing always called him that. Although he only called him a single name, he always seemed too intimate.

"Wu Du is very cunning." Mu Qing said seriously, "He must have deceived you."

"What?" Duan Ling heard the word "deception" and was associated with Wu Du, and his scalp became numb and his stomach began to hurt.

"Changpin said." Mu Qing replied, "Don't always believe in Wu Du, you can do whatever he asks you to do."

"No, no." Duan Ling defended, "He won't lie to me."

Wu Du really wants to seek credit and reward. Now that he is dead, can he sit and talk to Mu Qing?

Mu Qing had to stop talking. After turning the pages of the book, Duan Ling was a little curious. He knew that Mu Qing was for his own good, but he was indifferent and said nothing else. If he successfully returned to the court in the future, the Mu family would definitely become enemies with him. After all, he had too many secrets of Mu Kuangda, and in a sense, the Mu family was still his benefactor.

So he always controls himself, does not go to have a deep friendship with Mu Qing, and leaves room for everything. Except for studying and taking exams, he does not give him any chance to cultivate feelings. Otherwise, he will only suffer more from the settlement of the score in the autumn.

"Why did Changpin say that?" Duan Ling keenly felt that since Mu Qing said just now, since the words Mu Qing had said from Changpin, it must have been said casually, and there must be words hidden in the words.
