Compared with the turmoil and labor of the imperial city, the world on the outskirts of the city is much calmer.

Feng Wuyang first arrived at Mu's Mansion, even though he had been traveling all day, he still couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, he went up to the tile eaves of the courtyard house, with the breeze blowing, and raised his head slightly to look at the starry night sky, thoughtfully.

Only then did she open the bag that Grandma Huang had given her, and there were only six words on it, "If you come, you will be safe."

She didn't know how long she would have to live in the Mu Mansion, and when she would be able to return to the palace. Although life outside the palace was more free and interesting, it was the place where she grew up after all!

This courtyard house consists of four single houses, each with its own small hall, bedroom, and study room. Grandma said that the courtyard house was where my grandfather lived for his five children, and the Suxin Pavilion where she lives now is where the queen mother and aunt Weiwei lived. The other garden where he lived before leaving the pavilion.

"Why are you here?"

A voice brought her back to her consciousness, and it turned out to be Gong Ziling, who came up from the back eaves, and saw her with a surprised expression, if it wasn't for the night, there would be a trace of uncontrollable surprise in her eyes.

"Aren't you there?"

Gong Ziling was taken aback for a moment, Jun had an embarrassed smile on his face, and he stopped talking, and sat half a meter away from her.

Feng Wuyang looked at his profile, and remembered that she only wore a single shirt when she got up in the middle of the night, and it seemed inappropriate to stay with the opposite sex.What's more, a boy still wears formal clothes when he goes out at night, but he looks a little indecent!

For a moment, my mind was spinning, my face was flushed, I didn't know whether I should sit down generously or... what should I do?

Gong Ziling felt her gaze and saw her staring at him, wondering what she was thinking.I looked away with just one glance, I don't know why, every time I see her beautiful face and meet those beautiful eyes, my heart beats faster, and an unknown feeling grows in my heart.

The two had their own thoughts, and sat cautiously, not daring to move, like two statues.

Until—"Wow! Brother Ziling, cousin Wuyang, you are here, I have worked so hard to find it." A childish exclamation and an excited voice went straight into the sky.

Mu Qi was also startled, and immediately covered her mouth with both hands, but forgot that she was still stepping on the ladder, she leaned back and almost fell, she hurriedly pulled the tile hook to stabilize her face, her face turned pale, but she didn't hum this time .

The two were taken aback by her dangerous behavior, and Gong Ziling immediately went to pull her up, worried and angry at the same time, and said: "Xiaoqi, I told you that this is very dangerous, if you want to come up and call me, I will call you." Just go down and pick you up, just look at how dangerous it is, are you hurt?"

"People don't know you are on it, the ladder is heavy when you move it."Mu Qi pouted, her cheeks were bulging, and her eyes were a little red. She was afraid that she was frightened by the scene just now, and she still had lingering fears in her heart.

Seeing that she was fine, Gong Ziling felt relieved, and tapped her forehead lightly with his hand, pretending to be vicious, and said: "I know I'm afraid, I have to remember in the future, you can't climb up alone!"

Mu Qi touched her forehead, muttered a few words, and reluctantly agreed.

Feng Wuyang asked Mu Qi to sit beside him, don't blame Gong Ziling for being so nervous, the eaves are very high from the ground, the consequences would be disastrous if he fell.

Mu Qi made a funny face at Gong Ziling, but smiled at Feng Wuyang.

Feng Wuyang was amused by the ghost's strange appearance, and her beautiful face was the icing on the cake.

"Why don't you come here for dinner in the middle of the night?"

"Eldest sister, you guessed right, they are all here."

The two voices, one firm and the other soft, are the two sisters, Mu Lanyu and Mu Lanlan.

Feng Wuyang was curious, does this family like to stay up in the middle of the night and go to the roof to enjoy the shade?

It turned out that she didn't know that the Mu family's discipline for their children was based on independence and self-improvement. When the children were ten years old, they were allowed to live alone in a courtyard house, while the adults lived in Xiyuan not far away.Mu Qi has just turned ten years old this year, and she has been happy for a long time not to be guarded by her mother.When I can't fall asleep at night, I go to Weiyang Building to play with the gentle son Ling. When I dare not sleep alone, I go to Caiyinyuan and Mu Lanyu to squeeze the bed and grab the quilt.

Mu Lanyu pursed her lips and smiled at Feng Wuyang, and asked with concern: "Sister Wuyang, are you not used to it and can't sleep anymore?"

Feng Wuyang wanted to say no, but the words turned into a "hmm" on the edge of his mouth, and the tone changed, and he said: "Do you usually like this too?"

Mu Lanlan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, because it's high up here, and the night view is the most beautiful. Besides, everyone didn't eat much at dinner. No, my eldest sister and I brought food to fill our stomachs. "Mu Lanlan jokingly said, taking out the food hidden in the basket behind her, there are meat and vegetables, snacks and fruits, it seems that it is time to eat dinner!

Gong Ziling laughed twice, and said: "It's Lanmei who is thoughtful!"

Mu Lanlan looked proud and said, "That's natural."

When Mu Qi saw the food, her eyes lit up, she drooled, and asked for chicken legs.

Feng Wuyang was so teased by them, she couldn't help being happy, thinking that living here would be very interesting in the future, and forgot the embarrassment just now.What's more, it can be seen that Gong Ziling is an honest gentleman, and he doesn't look sideways.

After eating the chicken legs, Mu Qi burped, causing everyone to laugh again.Mu Qi rubbed her swollen belly, looked curiously at the elegant Feng Wuyang, and asked excitedly, "Cousin Wuyang, where did you come from? Why has Xiaoqi never seen you before?", and muttered to herself Yu: "Xiaoqi thought you were the daughter of the third aunt, but my mother said no, and Xiaoqi didn't think so. Xiaoqi asked why, and mother said, you are still young, don't ask too much about adults... "As he said, he also imitated the adult's tone, learned it well, and made everyone laugh.

Mu Lanyu and Mu Lanlan looked at each other. They were older and knew that besides the third daughter born by his first wife, his grandfather had another daughter, the fifth aunt who married into the royal family and became the queen in her early years.Grandpa never mentioned this matter, and Fifth Aunt has also become a taboo. They also know this from a few words from the previous generation, and they don't know why.

Feng Wuyang thought for a moment, then pointed with her slender hand, that was the direction of the imperial city, "My cousin is from Kyoto, as for why Xiaoqi has never seen me, it is because the family rules of my cousin are very strict, you are not allowed to go out..."

"Oh!" Mu Qi responded with a half-understanding, with her chin resting on the palm of her hand, she looked into the distance and wondered what she was thinking again.

Gong Ziling's knowledge of the fifth Miss of the Mu family was similar to that of Mu Lanyu and Mu Lanlan. Grandpa Mu just told them that Wuyang's parents died early, so they should not mention them in front of her.Seeing Feng Wuyang's serious expression, he thought that Mu Qi's words had brought back sad memories for her, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, everyone don't talk about this topic in the future, if grandpa finds out, you will be punished."

Feng Wuyang bowed her head in silence, her long eyelashes cast shadows in the moonlight.

Mu Lanyu sat on the side, and Mu Lanlan packed her things.

At this moment, Mu Qi exclaimed, "Look at the sky, it's red!"

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, sure enough!The sky is red, and the red light is soaring into the sky, which is very dazzling in this dark night.

Gong Ziling said, "There's a fire over there."

Mu Qi opened her round eyes and asked, "Will there be fires in the mountains and forests in the city?"

Gong Ziling smiled gently, and said: "That's natural. There are not only buildings and downtowns in the city, but also mountains and forests."

"Oh!" Mu Qi tilted her head and asked again: "Is there anyone who puts out the fire?"

Gong Ziling said: "There are many officers and soldiers in the city, and the fire will be put out soon."

Mu Qi kept asking some weird questions, and Gong Ziling answered her patiently.

At this moment, Mu Lanyu yawned, looking sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm sleepy, Lan Lan, let's go back to sleep. Xiaoqi, do you want to come?"

"good".Mu Qi readily agreed, her sleepy eyes seemed to be sleepy!

Mu Lanyu took Mu Qi's little hand, and said to Feng Wuyang: "Sister Wuyang, you should go to bed too, we will play with you tomorrow."

Feng Wuyang smiled faintly, speechless.

This day is not too bad, but why, she is always so stuffy and hard to breathe?Seeing the red light in the sky seemed to be burning on her heart, it was so hot!

Gong Ziling looked at her beautiful side face, frowning slightly, with a preoccupied look, he followed her gaze to the fiery red sky.When a girl comes to a strange place, she will inevitably feel homesick!

"What are you thinking?"

"nothing!"

Gong Ziling smiled, this girl has a kind of arrogance, she looks so sad, but she refuses to be comforted by others!When I saw her for the first time, I was completely fascinated by her alluring beauty, her indifferent demeanor was cold and calm, those clear and bright peach blossom eyes were as clear as autumn water, cold as ice, with flowing eyes, containing difficult words and infinite wisdom.

After a long time, Feng Wuyang turned her head and found that Gong Ziling was staring at her in a daze, her unabashed gaze made her pretty face blush.Rebuke: "Don't look at me like that!"

Gong Ziling was taken aback for a moment, turned his head away blushing, and said, "Yes... I'm sorry, I... I..."

"Pfft~" Feng Wuyang couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: "This idiot is quite cute!"

Gong Ziling stared at her charming face, scratched his head in embarrassment, and the blush on Jun's face reached his ears.

Feng Wuyang remembered something, and asked sternly, "Why didn't you talk at the dinner party?" Just now when the big guys gathered together, it felt quite noisy, which was different from the dinner party.

Gong Ziling glanced at her, then quickly looked away, looking a little unnatural, and said, "Grandpa Mu has issued a military order, and important people have come to the house, so don't be rude."

Military order?Feng Wuyang was a little taken aback, thinking that the women and children of Mu's family had distinct personalities and had their own uniqueness. This family of generals has both the elegant style of literati and the fortitude of soldiers.Laughing, he said: "Tell me about the affairs of the family...will you?"

Gong Ziling grinned and nodded, extremely happy.

In this way, the two huddled together and talked at night, from the inside to the outside, talking about everything.

Feng Wuyang was amazed that Young Master Ling had a wide range of knowledge, many of which she could not read from books, and she was not much older than her, but she had been to many places, had rich experience, and had her own way of governing the country and the art of war. opinion.

However, Gong Ziling was surprised that Feng Wuyang had read a lot of books at a young age, from the Book of Songs to Ritual and Music, and all the schools of thought and Taoism were familiar with everything.No matter what, as long as I think that there will be more time to be with her day and night in the future, I feel unspeakable joy in my heart. This is the first time since I lost my parents that I feel sincerely happy.As for why there is such a feeling, I don't even realize it myself.

Many years later, only Tao Yuelao planted a seed in her heart that night, and it took root and sprouted from then on!
