Mu Ge and Xun Yu returned to their respective seats. After these heartfelt words, Mu Ge and Xun Yu became close friends and expressed their aspirations and feelings.
Xun Yu realized that Mu Ge seemed to know what he was thinking very well. Mu Ge could often guess some of his views and insights.
The two of them chatted happily. They talked about national affairs or the people's livelihood. They were in high spirits and had a strong aura. Xun Xin, who looked bored and couldn't interrupt, was the only exception.
"The two of you don't even care about Xin-er when chatting. Xin-er won't talk to you in the future.”Xun Xin was bored to death, especially when she saw her brother and Mu Ge ignoring her. Her small heart was ignored and she felt wronged as she broke off all ties with Mu Ge and Xun Yu.
Xun Xin didn't eat and went back to her room angrily. Mu Ge and Xun Yu shook their heads and laughed. What a little brat.
Mu Ge and Xun Yu only ended the banquet late at night. Mu Ge and Xun Yu bid farewell and returned to their own residence.
When Mu Ge returned to his room, he was accompanied by two servant girls. They were there to help Mu Ge rest. Of course, they weren't dirty servants. They were only there to wash his face and feet and to serve him tea.
However, Mu Ge rejected all of them. How could someone from modern society like him get used to such things? If he had to wash his face and feet, what would happen in the future? It wasn't like he was going to retire. He didn't want such a corrupt life.
"Thirty-two taels of gold is still too early to exchange for gems." Mu Ge looked at the pile of gold on the bed and felt that it was too little.
Even if he had to wait for the system's free forging opportunity every month, he still had more than twenty days.
"We can't wait for a month. Since we're staying at Xun Yu's place now, we're not afraid of some scoundrels eyeing us. We'll start selling after the Cai Residence's birthday celebration.”Mu Ge made up his mind. He wanted to earn more while he had the protection of the Xun family. He urgently needed gemstones to forge himself and increase his strength!
During the two days that Mu Ge had been staying in the Xun Residence, the wealthy and official families in Luoyang had started to pass on a new thing called cigarettes.
The name of cigarettes spread quickly in Luoyang. It was said that this thing could not only make people spit out smoke, but also strengthen the body, nourish yin, and nourish the face. The more it spread, the more ridiculous it became. There were even words like it could cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life.
More and more children of officials loved it so much that they couldn't put it down. Cao Cao and the others would occasionally pick up a stick when they chatted, drank, or even went to karaoke.
They kept repeating the words they had learned from Mu Ge every day, such as 'a cigarette after a meal will make you happy like a fairy',' a cigarette after a meal will make you feel as if you have ascended to heaven', and so on.
This also made many rich playboys envious. They tried all kinds of ways to get it, but Mu Ge temporarily stopped selling it. They could only watch helplessly.
Today was Cai Yong's birthday, and all of Luoyang's high officials and scholars went to the Cai Residence to offer their blessings.
Mu Ge changed into the luxurious and decent clothes that Xun Yu had asked the servant girl to send over and walked out of the house in high spirits.
"Young Master Mu looks really good in this outfit!”
"Yes, I usually think that Young Master Mu is very handsome.”
"You little girl, are you in love?”
"No way. Aren't you the same?"
··
When the servant girls saw Mu Ge, they whispered to each other with lustful hearts. Mu Ge had been staying here for the past two days, so they understood Mu Ge's personality. He was kind and generous.
Even when he spoke to servant girls like them, he did not have any sense of superiority, so the servant girls who served Mu Ge became familiar with him.
Mu Ge smiled and nodded at them, causing the maidservants to flee in a hurry.
Mu Ge had just walked out of the backyard when he bumped into Xun Xin.
"Wow! Brother Mu, why are you dressed so handsome today?”
Xun Xin had learned the word 'handsome' from Mu Ge in the past two days, and now she was using it to her advantage.
Mu Ge smiled proudly." I've always been like this. It's just that I've always been low-key."”
Xun Xin didn't refute but pleaded with Mu Ge,""I heard from my brother that you want to go out with him to play. Can you bring Xin-er along?”
"Then you have to ask Wen Ruo, I can't make the decision.”Mu Ge shook his head. Bring the girl to Cai Manor? It would be strange if he didn't die of a headache.
"Hmph, you just don't want to play with Xin-er. Xin-er will never talk to you again!”Xun Xin said angrily while holding her waist.
In order to get rid of this girl, Mu Ge comforted her,""Today is the birthday banquet of the Cai family, so you definitely can't go. How about this, I'll tell you a story when I come back, okay?”
Mu Ge was pestered by this girl the day before yesterday, so he told her a fairy tale. Who knew that this girl was so fascinated by this fairy tale that she had been running to Mu Ge's place for the past two days. However, Mu Ge was chatting with Xun Yu every day, so he had no time to pay attention to her.
"Good! Brother Mu, you can't go back on your word! Xin-er will wait for you to come back and tell me a story. The Snow White you played for Xin-er last time was really nice. Xun Xin was easily defeated by Mu Ge's fairy tale. Not only did she lose her angry face, but her face was also filled with joy. Listening to fairy tales was much more fun than going to those banquets.
Mu Ge accompanied Xun Yu to the carriage and headed to the Cai Residence.
Along the way, Mu Ge saw many carriages of dignitaries rushing in their direction. They were probably all going to attend Cai Yong's birthday banquet.
"Brother Ziyu, you have to perform well at today's birthday banquet. If you can gain the recognition of Lord Cai Yong and Lord Lu Zhi, your future will definitely be carefree.”Xun Yu smiled at Mu Ge.
"Brother Wen Ruo, you praise me too much. I, Mu Ziyu, have little talent and knowledge, and my status is low. How can I enter the eyes of these adults? I think Brother Wen Ruo will be the most outstanding one at the banquet.”Mu Ge said with a smile.
Xun Yu smiled and shook his head, not arguing with him anymore.
Soon, they arrived at Cai Yong's residence. Cai Yong was a great talent of the world, so his residence was naturally not bad. The vermillion red door was more than ten feet tall, and even the stone stairs in front of the door were made of white jade. There were two huge stone lions in front of the door, which was very imposing.
An old man who looked like a butler and servants were welcoming the guests at the door.
"Ziyu, let's go." Xun Yu said to Mu Ge as he got off the carriage and tidied his clothes.
Mu Ge nodded and was about to follow him when a voice called out from behind,""Brother Ziyu!"
