"You can't use brute force to grind ink, but the force should be light and even."

Before Bailushuang recovered, Lu Xu stuffed ink sticks into her and asked her to grind ink for herself.

I didn't expect the seemingly simple movement, but it didn't go so smoothly. At first, I almost crushed the ink stick with too much force. Fortunately, Lu Xu had taken precautions.

The ink sticks were used for her, and the inkstone was bought in the market, not Lu Xu's valuable piece of pine smoke ink, or the Huizhou inkstone that was rewarded in the palace, otherwise it would make Lu Xu's heart hurt for more than half a year.

Lu Xu watched Bai Lu's movements, and patiently taught: "You don't have to rush, practice slowly, it will benefit your body and mind."

"Yun'er has also practiced for a long time before she can achieve today's results." Lu Xu glanced at the little girl who was studying ink beside her, "Yun'er is the housekeeper's niece. They moved to Hanyuan because they didn't have enough manpower, so they brought them back from the manor. Just arrange it as an errand in Fuyun Pavilion."

"How long has Yun'er been practicing?" Bailu asked Yun'er curiously, seeing that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Sister Bailu, the school in the village, Yun'er went to school at the age of six." Yun'er looked at Bailu and said, "The master of the school will teach us how to write, and naturally he will also teach us how to grind ink."

"You mean that you have to be a boy when you study ink." Bailu's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Yun'er was also shocked and said, "Sister Bailu, didn't your master teach you to grind ink when you were learning to write?"

Lu Xu didn't raise his head and said, "Naturally I'll learn, but whether they are writing or studying ink, they all have a sword intent, and now they just ask her to let go of her identity."

"Let go of your identity..." Bai Lu was a little confused.

"Out of Longque Camp, you have to learn to be an ordinary person and enjoy the life in front of you, of course..."

Lu Xu dipped his pen into the ink and said, "The premise is that you only want to come to my place for retirement. If you want to serve the court in another way, I can also arrange it for you."

"Another way to serve the imperial court?" Bailu looked at Lu Xu puzzledly, and Lu Xu said lightly: "The industries under my name are constantly expanding, and these industries serve Nanli's development of new weapons. I need a lot of management. Talents in this area must also be loyal enough.”

"so……"

Bailu suddenly understood that he was able to come to Hanyuan because he was loyal enough to Nanli.

Looking at her astonished expression, Lu Xu said slowly: "Cherish the chance to survive. If it wasn't for the shortage of people on my side, you should know your end."

No one knows her original fate better than Bailu. The speed of restraint in the Dragonfinch Camp is cruel. Killers and spies are disabled. The only way to leave the Dragonfinch Camp is death. Being able to walk out of the Dragonfinch Camp alive is what she had never thought before. Things that I dare not think about.

"The servant understands."

Thinking about the fate he deserved, and looking down at his beautiful hands, Bai Lu felt that there was no need for him to fight.

The person who knows the current affairs is a gentleman, Lu Xu said lightly: "The green luan is in charge of the outside industry, the blue bird is responsible for the safety of the whole house, the crested ibis is in charge of the food for the whole house, and now the red bird has several jobs. It has to take care of my daily life. , but also responsible for the work of taking care of the study, and running errands for me from time to time."

"What do misses need slaves for?" Bailu vaguely guessed Lu Xu's intentions.

"Your job is very simple, you work with Suzaku to take care of the study and run errands.

Lu Xu didn't talk too much, and assigned work directly: "Don't look at me as a study for a girl in a boudoir, but my work goes up to the emperor and down to every yamen. When I get really busy, I can break your legs. But... now there is a way to save you time and effort, are you willing to learn?"

"What way?" Egret cheered up immediately.

"Cultivation." Lu Xu glanced at Bailu up and down: "Your spiritual veins are good, and you should be able to cultivate quickly."

"After cultivating aura, you can use fairy art to teleport from one place to another, greatly improving your work efficiency."

Lu Xu thought about it carefully, instead of relying on foreign immortal sects, Nanli's own monks, especially high-ranking monks, were the most reliable. Once Nanli started a war with the immortal world, they would definitely stand by Nanli's side.

"Suzaku and the others also cultivate?" Bailu didn't expect to have the opportunity to cultivate immortality.

"Cultivate." Lu Xu said without hesitation: "Otherwise, like Qingluan, running all over the country every day, how many horses would have to be killed."

"Before you get busy now, you still have time to practice sooner or later." Lu Xu raised his hand and pointed at Bailu's eyebrows: "This is my own way of cultivating immortals. You don't need to report to the immortal gate every day to practice, and you don't have to. Worried about going crazy."

"Can you cultivate your own mental method?"

"Yes." It wasn't Lu Xu who spoke this time, but Yun'er.

"Ms. Du's mind and sword techniques, which were cultivated in Hanyuan, are also practiced by many Xianmen disciples."

Yun'er hastily proved for Lu Xu: "The Da Luo Immortal Sect also specially named the young lady's exercises. The mind method is called Wanfa Jue, and the sword method is called Wanjian Jue."

"Why didn't I know when it happened?" Lu Xu asked Yun'er in surprise, and Yun'er replied with a smile: "On the few days when Miss was retreating, Venerable Tian Yun came over once, and it happened that Miss Four and Miss Five Miss, Princess Yingyan and the others are all here, so I asked Sister Suzaku about the exercises they practiced, and named them by the way."

Wan Fa Jue, Wan Jian Jue, Lu Xu couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the names.

"It's a very imposing name, don't you like it?" Seeing Lu Xu shaking his head, Yun'er asked in puzzlement, the Venerable gave the name a great honor.

"It's too high-profile, it's not a good thing." Lu Xu sighed softly: "The Broken Jade sword technique sounds so poetic, as for the mental technique... the infinite prajna is at ease, the speech is silent, the movement is natural, it's better to call it the free technique .”

"The law of freedom is good, but it's not low-key."

Egret replied thoughtfully, and at the same time touched the center of his brow involuntarily.

Back then, she could also use this spell, so it was much more convenient to deliver the message, and she would not be intercepted halfway.

"Cultivate hard, I'm optimistic about you." Lu Xu gave her an encouraging look and continued to work, Suzaku also came back from outside, and said: "Si Le from the palace is here, saying that he wants to ask Miss for money, you are at the banquet The full version of the few lines that were sung."

"I'm busy, so I don't have time to write about it." Lu Xu's head suddenly became dizzy, and he knew that he would not comment casually.

"Actually, not only the people in the music bureau in the palace want it, but the folks are also singing it." Suzaku said with a smile, "I just passed by Yuyifang and saw Miss Xiao talking about it. It didn't take much time to write the song silently. Miss Said has not had a new work for a long time since "Song of the Madman."

"If Daddy knows, he should say that I'm not doing my job properly." Lu Xu immediately refused, and Suzaku said disapprovingly, "It doesn't take much time to write a song silently, you can just write it out a few times."

"Sister, I still have a lot of work to do."

"When have you been busy with your business, and people are still waiting outside the door in a sensible way, you can't be unreasonable."

Suzaku took away the official document in Lu Xu's hand, spread out a blank sheet of paper and said, "If people see it, won't people in my Right Prime Minister's House trust you and neglect Lord Si Le."

Lu Xu gave Suzaku a blank look. She didn't know how troublesome it would be to translate it into a contemporary musical notation. After thinking about it, she simply wrote it out in simplified notation, and then marked the corresponding sounds of each symbol and the purpose of various small symbols.

He handed the written song to Suzaku and said, "Use a printer to make a hundred copies, so that no one will come to me to ask for it."

"Egret, follow me and learn how to use a printer."

"Egret?"

Suzaku was a little dazed, but only realized when she saw Bailu get up.

"Okay, what do you change your name to?"

"Miss said that the name Night Falcon is too ferocious, so it was changed to Egret because it was not enough for ordinary people, and she even read a poem."

The egret thought about it but didn't remember it. It was Yun'er who read it for her: "Two orioles sing on the green willows, and a group of egrets go up to the blue sky. The egrets mean to go straight up to the blue clouds."

"There will be five birdmen in the future, let's do it well."

I thought Suzaku would be a compliment, but in the end it was a consolation with complaints.

Lu Xu ignored it, but Suzaku said indifferently: "If Miss knows her real name, she will know how embarrassing it is."

"What name?" Lu Xu raised his head in surprise.

"The past, the past, don't mention it, it's good to be called Bailu."

Bai Lu rushed to speak before Suzaku, and said with a forced smile: "Miss let the slaves learn to be ordinary people, let's start with the name."

Hearing what she said, Suzaku didn't mention it again, took the score and asked Bai Lu to make a copy together, and after making a copy, he handed a copy to Si Le himself and said: "My lady said this is a simple notation method, which is convenient for memorization and writing. annotation."

As if he didn't expect Lu Xu to agree so simply, he left Hanyuan with a thousand thanks.

After watching the carriage go away, Suzaku put the rest of the music score in the doorman: "If anyone comes to ask for the music score again, you can just give a copy, understand?"

"We understand."

The person at the door took the score and put it away in a box.

After finishing his work, Suzaku checked the time, and it was almost time for lunch, so he went to the kitchen to see how the lunch was prepared.

In the quiet study room, Bai Lu was still immersed in ink.

Suddenly the door was gently pushed open, and a figure with a halo came in, and sat down beside Lu Xu without any extra movement.

Looking at the handsome and noble man sitting next to Lu Xu, Bailu couldn't help but lose his mind, and didn't recover for a long time, until Yun'er pulled hard under him, then quickly looked back, not knowing what to do.

"Come here, sir, and this servant will make tea for you."

Yun'er stood up first, and at the same time gave Bailu a look, signaling her to go together.

Bai Lu was full of doubts and didn't dare to say anything, followed Yun'er and left the study in a hurry, and asked curiously: "Who is that young master, and why did he sit next to the young lady directly?"

"Master Xiandu of Xiandu's mansion, at the Dragon Boat Festival feast, the emperor personally appointed the regent Fanxing..." Yun'er deliberately sold off and said: "Mr. Fan is Miss's fiancé-in-law, and they are going to get married in October. Soon to be part of the family."

"He's going to be a door-to-door son-in-law!" Thinking back to Fanxing's heaven-defying face, Bai Lu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Of course not." Yun'er immediately denied: "Master only has one daughter, Miss. Naturally, Miss is worried about getting married and no one will take care of her. Mr. Fan is sympathetic to Miss's father-daughter relationship, and is willing to live with Miss in Cold Garden to take care of Master. Mr. Fan He is of noble birth."

"I see."
