It was really unexpected.

When Fu Wenyu realized that Murong Bo, who had worked with him for several years, was related to Mu Zhizhou, and that they were so close that Murong Bo had even learned Mu Zhizhou's characters, he suddenly felt very surprised and curious.

And after discovering this fact, he also remembered why Murong Bo refused when he invited him to meet a long time ago. Because Murong Bo probably lived in Chen County before, and then the county magistrate of Mu County became Mu Zhizhou, so he followed him to Jiangzhou, so the two did not have the basic conditions to meet.

Murong Bo, Mu Zhizhou...

Maybe the two are relatives.

Wait, Fu Wenyu suddenly realized a problem. That is, Murong Bo's surname is "Murong" and Mu Zhizhou's surname is "Mu". Although both of their surnames have the character "Mu" and they read similarly, one is actually a compound surname and the other is a single surname.

In other words, judging from their surnames, the two should not be from the same family.

Or maybe Murong Bo's surname is "Mu" and his name is "Rong Bo"? But if that were the case, wouldn't he and others have been calling him by the wrong name for four years?

You know, every time he wrote a letter, he called him 'Mr. Murong'.

This is embarrassing...

Finally, Fu Wenyu decided to ask him in person when they met formally in two days. If he really called him by the wrong name, he would sincerely apologize to the other party and correct it in the future. However, since Mr. Murong never mentioned it in these four years, either his last name is really 'Murong', or he is a casual person and doesn't care about such a small matter.

After confirming that Murong Bo's handwriting is indeed similar to that of Mu Zhizhou, Fu Wenyu put down a worry. Then he spread out paper and pen, and concentrated on revising his article according to Mu Zhizhou's opinions.

Time passed unknowingly.

When he revised the article to the extent that he was satisfied, it was dark. Seeing this, Fu Wenyu touched his shriveled stomach and decided to take the servant Li Er out to eat something.

The next day, Fu Minghui went out with Min Xiucai, Qiong Xiucai and others, saying that they wanted to meet with scholars in Jiangzhou, and asked Fu Wenyu if he wanted to go.

Fu Wenyu shook his head, because he was going to visit Mu Zhizhou with his revised article today. Yesterday, Mu Zhizhou told him that he could come to him again after the revision, and Fu Wenyu certainly would not miss the opportunity to ask for advice. However, he did not say it firmly, but asked for the address of the party, saying that he would go there if he came back early.

Unfortunately, when he went to the prefecture government office this time, he happened to catch up with Mu Zhizhou's trial, so Fu Wenyu did not come back until the evening, and locked himself in the room again when he came back.

The same thing happened on the third day.

However, the article Fu Wenyu brought with him this time became the homework assigned by Mu Zhizhou yesterday. Because Mu Zhizhou was quite satisfied with the article he revised yesterday, he gave him two questions.

Because he came back early that day, Fu Wenyu went to the party mentioned by Min Xiucai and others. But what disappointed him was that the gathering of scholars was different from the literary gathering that day. The atmosphere of learning was not strong, but they were keen on writing poems and lyrics. So he didn't stay for long, and he found an excuse to go back to the inn to write articles.

The fourth day was the day he met Mr. Murong.

Fu Wenyu got up early in the morning, and after having breakfast with Fu Minghui, he found several paintings he brought with him. These were all what he wanted Mr. Murong to revise, so he had to take them with him.

Before leaving, Fu Minghui came to him.

He saw Fu Wenyu who was about to go out, and the servant holding a few scrolls behind him, and said: "Uncle Wenyu, do you have something to go out today?"

Fu Wenyu nodded, "I made an appointment with Mr. Murong in the morning. I need his help to modify a few paintings, and I have to visit Mr. Mu, the governor, in the afternoon. Minghui, do you have a party today?"

Fu Minghui nodded and shook his head, "Mr. Chen is the host today."

"But after these two days, I found that this kind of party is boring, so I don't plan to go again today. Uncle Wenyu, I came to you to ask if Mr. Mu's topic can be shown to me?"

"I want to stay in the inn to review my studies."

Mr. Mu did not say that he could not show it to others, so Fu Wenyu gave him the topic and the article he had written, and then he took the servant and the scrolls out.

The address given by Mr. Murong is close to the state government office, which is a restaurant.

Fu Wenyu had been traveling between the inn and the prefecture government office these days, and had passed by this restaurant several times, so after he went out, he took the carriage called by the servant Li Er and arrived at the private room before the agreed time.

Then he went in and waited.

At the same time, Mu Mingsu, who was wearing men's clothes, also went out.

But she didn't have a smooth journey, because she ran into Mu Zhengyang at the door.

"Dad!"

Mu Mingsu walked over happily and said to Mu Zhengyang who was about to go out: "Dad, are you going to come back later today?"

Mu Zhengyang didn't answer, but frowned at her and said: "What are you wearing? Are you going out again?"

Mu Mingsu's smile froze on her face.

Because she was going to meet a strange man today, she and Danqing were both dressed in men's clothes for safety, and they were going to call two more servants to go with them, and let them guard the door when the time came.

Who knew that before she even left the house, her father found out that she was wearing men's clothes.

You know, Mu Zhengyang felt that his daughter had grown up and was no longer the tomboy she used to be, so he ordered her to wear women's clothes when she went out and to bring her maid and followers with her.

So Mu Mingsu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Dad, I came out to find you, I won't go out now." "I'll go out later," she added silently in her heart, and then changed the subject and asked: "You have come back later than before these days. Is there something going on in the government office?"

Mu Zhengyang heard that his daughter was not going to go out, his expression eased a little, and then said: "It's not about the government office, it's that Fu Wenyu, who wrote the storybook of "The Legend of the Divine Eye" in Liuzhou, came to Jiangzhou."

"Before, the people of Chen County benefited from him, and I, your father, also benefited a lot. So a few days ago, I saw that he was worthy of cultivation at the literary meeting, so I gave him some advice, Ask him to come to the yamen to find me in the next few days."

"Liuzhou Fu Wenyu?"

Mu Mingsu thought that was a coincidence, she would meet him later, so she asked curiously: "Dad, what kind of person is Mr. Fu?"

Mu Zhengyang thought for a while and said: "Smart, decisive, and clever."

After that, he said: "But he puts most of his mind on writing stories and doing some unorthodox things. If he doesn't correct it, he will be fine if he passes the exam, but he can forget about the Jinshi."

After saying this, he told his daughter, "I will be back later today, you don't have to wait for me to eat."

Mu Mingsu responded happily.

After Mu Zhengyang left, Danqing, the maid who had been standing behind Mu Mingsu and was also dressed in men's clothes, raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she hesitated and said, "Miss, should we go out?"

Mu Mingsu tilted her head, "Yes, why not?"

Danqing hesitated, "But the master doesn't allow you to go out in men's clothes."

It's one thing to wear men's clothes secretly to avoid the master and the housekeeper, but it's another thing to wear men's clothes openly after being discovered by the master. Danqing really doesn't have the courage to do this.

Mu Mingsu turned around and walked back, saying as she walked, "Stupid, can't we just change our clothes back?" Wearing men's clothes is just for convenience, not just for men.

So not long after, Fu Wenyu, who was leisurely reading the "Jiangzhou Tabloid" in the restaurant and waiting for someone, found that the person who pushed the door in was not the "Mr. Murong" she thought, but two beautiful women.

One was dressed in green, obviously dressed as a maid.

The other one was wearing a red dress with plum blossoms embroidered on it. She had lively eyes and said to him with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fu. I'm Murong Bo."

Fu Wenyu stood up in surprise. He didn't even know when the "Jiangzhou Tabloid" in his hand fell to the ground. The only thing he could think of was: Mr. Murong was actually a woman!

"You, you are Mr. Murong?"
