State Duke of Song Feng Sheng and State Duke of Ying Fu Youde looked at each other and laughed.
"I didn't expect this little rooster to have such a big temper!”
"Isn't that so!"
"This brat, does he think we're here to snatch the reward?”
"Hahaha!"
"Uhh…"
When Qin Mu heard their words, he was at a loss.
Just as he was in a daze, Feng Sheng stepped forward and slapped his butt.
"Little brat!"
"We're here to remind you out of kindness!”
"You are just a small commander. Even if you have made a name for yourself in the military exercise, you are not worthy of such a heavy reward!”
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better resign yourself. Even if His Majesty still wants to reward you so heavily in the end, no one will be able to find any fault with you!”
Fu Youde also rode his horse forward and looked at Qin Mu with a smile.
"In addition, you did something wrong!”
"Although you're a low-ranking officer now and it won't affect you much, I still have to remind you to prevent you from making mistakes in the future.”
"What's wrong?"
"What did I do wrong?"
Fu Youde laughed.
"You can't share all the rewards the emperor gave you!”
"Even if you give it to your subordinates, you have to keep at least a third of it for yourself!”
Qin Mu was still puzzled when he heard this.
"Why?"
"I'm not short of money. Why would I want that one-third?”
Fu Youde and Feng Sheng looked at each other again and then laughed loudly. They laughed so hard that tears flowed out.
After Feng Sheng laughed, he gently kicked Qin Mu and scolded him with a smile.
"You little fool!"
"Do you think all the generals in the world are greedy for money?”
"Old Fu and I are not short of money. The money at home has been endless for a few lifetimes.”
"But every time we receive a reward, we still have to keep at least a third of it and only give the rest to our brothers!”
"Otherwise, as a general, you are not greedy for money, nor are you lecherous. You are also very good at winning people's hearts. What would the emperor think?”
After Duke of Song Feng Sheng's reminder, Qin Mu came to a realization and hurriedly bowed to him.
"Aiya!"
"Thank you for your reminder. I almost made a big mistake!”
When the other soldiers heard the words of the two big shots, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
It turned out that these two were allies and were here to remind their commander!
Fu Youde dismounted from his horse and patted Qin Mu's shoulder as he encouraged him.
"You don't have to take our words too seriously.”
"The hundreds of people under your command are not enough to be remembered by the emperor.”
"It's fine even if you give it all to your subordinates.”
"However, your reward today is too heavy, and it will cause some people to be jealous.”
"To be safe, you'd better resign.”
"Even if it's just being polite, it's best to go through the motions. That way, other people's discussions will be smaller!”
Qin Mu wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for him. Before he transmigrated, he knew that having an old master to guide you would help you avoid many detours.
These two dukes were teaching him how to be a person, an official, and how to do things.
"Qin Mu thanks the two dukes for their guidance!”
"If the two of you don't mind, why don't you rest here for a while and taste the wine and meat of my Xuanwu Guard!”
The two big shots had originally come to sit down. When they heard Qin Mu being so understanding, Feng Sheng also imitated Fu Youde and flipped off his horse. He casually found an empty chair and sat down.
"Bring out all the good wine and meat you have!”
"Grandfather was eating in the palace just now, and his mouth was so full of food that it was like a bird!”
Qin Mu hurriedly called out, and a solicitous soldier brought the canned meat and wine over.
The moment the wine jar was opened, the wanton fragrance of the wine assailed his nose, directly eliciting the Liquor worm in Feng Sheng's stomach.
"Good wine!"
"What a strong wine fragrance!"
Fu Youde was not a drinker, but when he smelled such fragrant wine, he was immediately attracted.
"Come!"
"Get me a big bowl. I want to try this wine too!”
Qin Mu bowed to the two of them and apologized.
"Please enjoy your meal. I'll go and write a memorial to the Emperor to ask for his resignation. After I'm done, I'll come back to accompany you!”
Feng Sheng waved his hand as if he was shooing away a fly.
"Go!"
"Don't bother with us. We're just here to take advantage of the situation!”
Qin Mu saw that the two dukes had already started drinking and didn't waste any more time. He found a piece of paper and started writing on it.
After he finished writing, Qin Mu dried the ink on it. He didn't directly hand it over to the eunuch who came to deliver the reward but gave it to the two dukes first so that they could check it.
Feng Sheng casually took it and looked at it. He was so shocked that he stood up!
"F * ck!"
"Impressive, our Ming army has produced a Jinshi!”
"This handwriting is really f * cking exciting. It's even better than the handwriting of those civil officials in the imperial court!”
Fu Youde usually liked to write at home. Although he did not have the talent of a civil official, his handwriting was quite well-practiced.
When he heard Feng Sheng praising a youth like this, he instinctively felt a little disdainful.
It wasn't that he was looking down on Qin Mu, but he was looking down on Feng Sheng's foresight.
With his worm-like handwriting, anyone could write better than him!
"Show it to me!"
Fu Youde took Qin Mu's form of thanks from Feng Sheng's hands and took a cursory glance at it. He was also shocked.
"These words are beautiful!"
"Is this a proper pavilion style?"
Compared to Feng Sheng's lack of culture, Fu Youde's level was obviously much higher.
Not only could he tell the quality of the words, but he could also tell the font.
"State Duke Ying has good eyesight, it is indeed a pavilion body!”
"This…"
Fu Youde looked at Qin Mu in shock and asked in disbelief.
"Child!"
"Did you participate in the imperial examination?"
"Your handwriting is specially trained for the imperial examination!”
The Pavilion Style was a font that only appeared after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It was mainly used for copying official documents of the imperial court.
Because of its beautiful and neat handwriting, it was as exquisite as a wooden print and received unanimous praise from the imperial court.
Therefore, in the imperial examination, the examiners would also ask the candidates to use the pavilion style as much as possible.
It was not mandatory for the county, prefecture, and academy, but when it came to the provincial examination, the general examination, and the court examination, it had to be written in the pavilion style.
Firstly, it was beautiful and easy to identify. Secondly, the handwriting was the same, preventing the examiner from using the handwriting to cheat.
In order to participate in the imperial examinations, Qin Mu had specially spent several years to practice this pavilion body.
Although it couldn't be compared to a calligraphy master, it was more than enough to deal with the imperial examinations.
Qin Mu cupped his hands at Fu Youde, Duke of Ying.
"To tell you the truth, before I was transferred to the army by His Majesty, I had already taken the examination to become a scholar in Yingtian Prefecture.”
"And his results are not bad. He got a small three yuan!”
"Huff!"
Fu Youde was shocked when he heard this. He could no longer sit still and stood up from his chair.
"You actually passed the examination to become a scholar of the Ying Tian Prefecture?”
"He even got hit by a small three element!"
