"Why do I feel like I've grown a lot taller?”Mu Ge measured himself against the wall and realized that his height had increased from 1.78 meters to 1.8 meters. Without a specific ruler, Mu Ge could not tell that he was 1.8 meters tall. He should be below 85.
Mu Ge felt that there seemed to be some changes on his face. He looked at the bronze mirror in the room and realized that it was true. His appearance did not change much, but his facial features had become more three-dimensional. His nose bridge was high, and he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Mu Ge was sure that Zhao Yun might not be as handsome as him!
"I didn't expect this thing to be able to make me look so handsome. Thank you, System.”Mu Ge smiled at the system in his heart, but it ignored him.
"By the way, if I want to upgrade to first-class, do I need a gem?”Mu Ge thought happily.
"No, it's not that. From second-rate martial arts to first-rate martial arts required ten gems, and from first-rate martial arts to top-notch martial arts required a hundred gems.”the system replied.
"F * ck! You're too evil. Where am I going to find so much money for a hundred pills?”Mu Ge complained loudly. He knew that it wouldn't be so easy. He still had a long way to go to become a Peerless General, but becoming a First-class General was easier.
The next day, Mu Ge was practicing his martial arts in the courtyard early in the morning.
He realized that even if he had never learned any martial arts moves or had no experience in martial arts, he could still use all kinds of fighting techniques out of habit. His set of fist and leg martial arts was well-executed and vigorous.
This also shocked the servants and maids who passed by the courtyard. They didn't expect Mr. Mu Ge to know martial arts!
"Wow, I didn't expect Mr. Mu to know martial arts.”
"Yeah, and have you noticed that Mr. Mu seems to have become more handsome again?”
"It seems to have become taller. Is it my illusion?”
"I heard that Mr. Mu has already become Lord Cai Yong's last disciple.”
" I heard that too. I went out to buy some dishes for the kitchen today and realized that many people were talking about Mr. Mu Ge. I heard that Mr. Mu Ge wrote a poem when he was drunk at the Cai residence yesterday. I forgot what it was called."
The servant girls were secretly discussing behind Mu Ge. Many of the servant girls 'admiration for Mu Ge rose to the level of a fan.
"Ziyu, you actually know martial arts?" Xun Yu, who had come to talk to Mu Ge, asked Mu Ge with shining eyes.
Mu Ge retracted his fist and smiled at Xun Yu."It's just some superficial skills.”
"I don't believe your words. Looking at the speed of your fist and the speed of your feet, I can tell that your martial arts are extraordinary.”Xun Yu said with certainty. He had never eaten pork before, but he had never seen a pig run.
Mu Ge didn't want to argue with him on this issue. He asked,""Wen Ruo came to find me so early, is there something?”
"That's right, this is your first time visiting Cai Yong as a student, have you prepared any gifts?”Xun Yu asked him.
"That's right! How could I have forgotten about this?" Mu Ge patted his big butt and said in realization.
How could one not bring gifts when visiting a teacher's house? Even in modern society, this was basic courtesy, not to mention the Eastern Han Dynasty, where etiquette was complicated.
What should he give her? Giving money? If it was too vulgar, it definitely wouldn't work, and Cai Yong probably wouldn't accept it. Sending cigarettes? Cai Yong doesn't seem to like smoking either.
"Ziyu, don't worry. I've already prepared a gift for you. Lord Cai Yong loves to drink all his life, and my Xun Residence happens to have ten jars of palace wine that His Majesty had previously bestowed upon him.”Xun Yu said.
"How can this be? This gift is too expensive. I can't accept it.”Mu Ge rejected. The fine wine of the palace sounded like a rare and precious item. Mu Ge could not accept such a huge gift for nothing.
Xun Yu smiled and said," Ziyu, you don't have to decline. We don't have to talk about each other. I'm really happy for you to be Lord Cai's disciple. Let's not talk about this anymore. It's settled. I'll ask the servants to put the wine into the carriage for you in a while. You can send it over."”
However, it was useless for Mu Ge to reject Xun Yu's kindness, so he could only accept it.
Mu Ge rushed to the Cai Residence in a carriage. The servants knew that Mu Ge was the master's beloved disciple and quickly let him in. Mu Ge asked the servants to bring the wine in and walked into the Cai Residence alone.
When Mu Ge went over, Cai Yong was instructing the servants to pack up as if they were going on a long journey.
Seeing Mu Ge come over, Cai Yong smiled and waved at Mu Ge."Ziyu, come here."
"Yes, teacher." Mu Ge responded and walked over.
Cai Yong said apologetically to Mu Ge,"Ziyu, since we are already teacher and student, I should have taught you wholeheartedly. However, I am ashamed to say this. Today, in the morning court, His Majesty has ordered me to be the emcee of the Imperial Pavilion and go to the library pavilion to take care of the books in the Imperial Palace. I have to hurry and rush to the Imperial Palace, so I cannot teach you.”
"Teacher, it's fine. I'll come back another day.”Mu Ge heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that Cai Yong would teach him. He only knew how to recite two ancient poems. If Cai Yong really asked him about his knowledge, he definitely wouldn't know.
On the way here, he had been thinking about how he could get away with it. Who knew that the heavens would help him and save Mu Ge a headache.
Cai Yong shook his head and smiled." I will need to stay for some time on this trip to the Imperial Palace. There are a lot of books in the Imperial Palace, and I'm afraid it will take me a lot of time to sort them out. Therefore, Ziyu, from today onwards, you will come to my study room to read books every day. There are many ancient books in my study room that you can read."”
"After I return from the palace, I will discuss poetry with you. Your 'Wine' is still fresh in my mind.”
After Cai Yong left, Mu Ge didn't choose to leave the Cai Residence. Instead, he followed Cai Yong's instructions and asked the servants to bring him to the study. There were countless books piled up on the bookshelves in the study. They were neatly arranged and there wasn't a speck of dust on them.
"As expected of the number one literary giant of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is what it means to be well-read and well-learned.”Mu Ge said in admiration. If he, a slacker, were to read these books, he would definitely break down and not be able to read any of them.
"Fortunately, Teacher went to the palace. Otherwise, if I were to really read, I would have suffered from schizophrenia.”Mu Ge felt that he could not stay in this depressing place and wanted to leave.
