In the early morning, Mu Qing opened his eyes.
Feeling the weight on his arm, he did not move. He turned his head slightly, just in time to see a pair of eyes closing quickly. He was stunned, and then looked to the other side curiously. Liu Weirui seemed not to wake up yet, her little face was soft. against his arm.
But what's going on with the gently trembling eyelashes?
Mu Qing smiled knowingly, and love began to grow in his heart. Unfortunately, before he could make any move, the two women opened their eyes together as if they had made an appointment, and then sat up.
"You're awake."
"Yeah. Wake up."
Mu Qing did not intend to ask them if they had woken up for a long time and found each other. After sitting up, he picked up the wooden comb on the side and motioned for them to sit in front of him.
Both women were a little at a loss, but Mu Qing said, "Which one of you will come first?"
Liu Weirui said: "Sister, let's go first. His combing was too ugly last time."
Seeing that Murong Jing was unmoved, Mu Qing seemed to understand something. He regretted asking just now and took the initiative to get behind Murong Jing. While combing her hair, he said: "There are still many things that need to be explored about last night's breakthrough." , I’m going to see Cao Jin later.”
Murong Jing lowered her head and straightened the folds on her clothes, and said: "Suzaku Sect still has many things to do. After I go to see Murong Jian, I will find Murong Yun and the others to arrange the things confirmed yesterday. If you see them later, Senior Hu, you can ask him to come to me."
"You guys are really busy." Liu Weirui sighed, seeing the two people looking at him, she said with a smile: "I want to see my father later. If I don't see him, I'll ask Miaozhen and the others to find out the situation."
Mu Qing's movements on his hands paused slightly, and he said with some self-blame: "Uncle is angry with me. I haven't thought of any good solution for the time being."
Liu Weirui shook her head gently, "This result is already very good. At least he didn't leave directly. Otherwise, I don't know how long his illness will drag on."
Seeing that Mu Qing and Murong Jing were both a bit silent, Liu Weirui smiled and said, "Actually, these days in Suzaku City are the most leisurely time for me in these years."
Murong Jing looked at Liu Weirui. In her heart, Liu Weirui would have to bear much greater pressure than she and Mu Qing in the future. She asked with clear eyes: "Do you like it?"
Liu Weirui was stunned for a moment, then smiled, looking down at the white skirt spread out on the floor, and said: "I am very happy, but also a little sad. I enjoy spending time with you, sister."
Murong Jing glanced at Mu Qing and found that Mu Qing was looking out the window and wondering what he was thinking.
The three of them said nothing. Mu Qing carefully combed Murong Jing's hair, and finally simply gathered it into a bunch and tied it into a ponytail.
After Liu Weirui saw it, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Let me tell you, your craftsmanship is really not good."
Murong Jing shook her head, a few strands fell on her face, and she also laughed.
Before she could do anything, Mu Qing tucked a few hairs from her face behind her ears, then thought about it and picked another one.
Liu Weirui asked curiously from the side: "What are you doing?"
Mu Qing smiled at her and complained: "Her hair is so good that she doesn't have a comb, so she has to pick one."
Murong Jing turned around, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, but Mu Qing handed the hair in front of her and said, "This is what I want."
Murong Jing was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Mu Qing shook his wrist and motioned for Murong Jing to tie it for him. Murong Jing's cheeks quickly became crimson, and she took the hair and tied it carefully around his left wrist.
Mu Qing looked at his wrist with satisfaction and felt a little happy.
Murong Jing looked at his childish look, and her words of complaint turned into a helpless smile.
But she immediately realized that now was not the time for her and Mu Qing to be alone, so how could she not consider Liu Weirui's feelings?
But before Murong Jing could speak, Mu Qing magically pulled out a wooden box from behind.
Liu Weirui looked at the wooden box in his hand and exclaimed softly, her eyes unable to hide the happiness, "When did you buy another box of 'Far Mountains'?"
Murong Jing asked curiously: "What is a distant mountain?"
Mu Qing said: "It's a rouge."
Murong Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Qing with strange eyes, as if she was meeting him for the first time.
Mu Qing opened the wooden box, lightly smudged a little with his fingertips, and then touched it on Liu Weirui's face. Liu Weirui remained motionless, staring at the man close at hand with a pair of eyes, and said: "You don't want thunder soul wood, you want thunder soul wood." If you have a piece of your sister’s hair, what else do you want?”
Mu Qing took back his hand and admired his masterpiece.
In fact, he applied it unevenly, and even in the eyes of Murong Jing, who had never used these, it was a bit poor, but Liu Weirui's face was already extremely beautiful, with those well-proportioned pale pink rouge, and the little bit of rouge that appeared on her face at this time. When the blush comes together, it looks like a newly blooming peach blossom.
"It's so beautiful!" Murong Jing praised.
Mu Qing nodded with satisfaction. In his heart, each of them was unique, so no one was more important than anyone else.
Mu Qing smiled at Liu Weirui and said, "This has always been my problem. I should take the initiative."
Liu Weirui blinked, a little confused: "What?"
Mu Qing said: "Can I kiss you?"
Liu Weirui's eyes widened, seeing that Mu Qing had come closer, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders back, but Mu Qing reached out to hold her shoulders and quickly closed her eyes.
Mu Qing smiled slightly, kissed her gently on the face and sat back.
Liu Weirui opened her eyes and glared at him.
Mu Qing said: "That's enough. I am the happiest person in this city."
After the three of them left the courtyard, at Mu Qing's initiative, they went to a lively side street and had breakfast.
Murong Jing saw that this place was not far from Nijiuzi Lane, and asked thoughtfully, "Have you been here before?"
Mu Qing separated the buns, gave them half each, and said, "I came here when I was a kid."
Liu Weirui also thought of something at this time and looked at him with some concern.
Mu Qing turned around and looked at the people and things on the street, and said, "It's no longer what I remember. At that time, I fantasized every day that when I got rich, I would come here to eat steamed buns openly."
The two women were a little at a loss holding half of the steamed buns in their hands. Mu Qing looked at them and just smiled.
When he was a child, he had half of his family, which was given to him by Uncle Zhang, but he didn't know it. He even thought he was "matching wits" with the other party for several years. After half of his family was gone, his experience in the past ten years All that is left is practice and training.
"My understanding of the concept of home is incomplete. My aunt told me this very seriously."
Mu Qing looked at the porridge on the table, smiled lightly, and said, "But I think after waking up in the morning, sitting together drinking porridge and eating steamed buns, we should be considered a family."
Murong Jing and Liu Weirui looked at each other and nodded seriously.
Murong Jing left first, and after Mu Qing sent Liu Weirui to his nominal home, he left neatly.
He knew that meeting Liu Chaoge at this time would only make it more difficult for Liu Weirui to be caught between them.
At this time, the morning light had just spread over the tall city wall. It was probably not the time to go to Jiuyou Tower to find Cao Jin, so Mu Qing went to the girls of Wanhua Valley first.
After entering into a good relationship with the Pharmacist Guild, Huaifenghua and the others wanted to refine some elixirs. As long as they gave a list, someone would soon send them to the house here.
As soon as Mu Qing entered the door, he smelled the faint fragrance in the air. When he searched for the smell and came to the backyard, he realized that everything in front of him was completely different from before.
The place that was originally just used for resting has been transformed into a special alchemy place. Many medicinal materials are placed on wooden shelves. The rich fragrance of elixirs condenses into clouds of misty smoke in the air, which will be touched when it spreads outwards. Set up in the surrounding formations and absorbed by the formations.
Mu Qing looked at the steady firelight in the alchemy room, knowing that Huaifenghua and the others had probably been refining elixirs for him all night long. After waiting quietly outside the formation for a while, he turned around and prepared to leave, but he was met by Zhang who was coming towards him. Peony hit.
"Brother?" Zhang Shaoyao's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.
Mu Qing saw Zhang Shao holding some medicinal materials on a wooden tray. He remembered the breakfast he had not long ago and subconsciously asked, "Have you eaten?"
Zhang Shaoyao rolled his eyes and walked toward the formation with the wooden tray. Finally, he stopped when he passed by and asked sideways, "Why are you here if you don't accompany them?"
Mu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm here to see you."
Zhang Shaoyao's expression softened slightly, he took two steps back, looked at him and said, "After Master got back the Book of Ten Thousand Poisons, he and his uncle have been refining the elixir until now, and now they have started a new one."
Mu Qing thought that was indeed the case and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Shaoyao shook his head and wanted to say something else, but in the end he just said: "Then I will go and help Master and the others first. Senior Sister helped them all night before they could rest."
Mu Qing watched Zhang Shaoyao walking by calmly, and suddenly felt a huge sense of alienation between the two of them, and subconsciously grabbed her arm.
Zhang Shaoyao twisted and the medicinal materials in the wooden tray were scattered on the floor.
Mu Qing didn't expect Zhang Shaoyao's reaction to be so big. While saying sorry, he picked up the medicinal materials on the ground.
Zhang Shaoyao looked at Mu Qing who looked uncomfortable, raised his slender eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to do? I'm going to help Master and the others."
Mu Qing glanced at the alchemy room. The movement here should have alarmed Huaifenghua and the others, but since they did not come forward, it proved that Zhang Shaoyao was not needed for the time being.
He gently placed the medicinal materials in Zhang Shaoyao's palm on the wooden plate and said slowly: "I just want to talk to you more."
Zhang Shaoyao's expression remained unchanged and he said, "What is there to say?"
Mu Qing asked: "How are uncle and aunt doing?"
Zhang Shaoyao's eyes moved slightly and he said softly: "Uncle is taking care of them. Master and uncle also go there every day. Their situation is getting better all the time."
Mu Qing nodded, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Zhang Shaoyao did not turn around and leave immediately, but stood quietly.
Mu Qing suddenly remembered that every time he went to Wanhua Valley to look for peonies, she would drag him around. At that time, she would point to a medicinal field, raise her face and say that she grew it. She would find a secluded place to quietly complain to him about Ning Chu's refusal to take her outside.
At that time, the two of them seemed to have endless things to talk about. She said he listened. When did it become like this?
Mu Qing felt a little sad. After thinking about it, he took out something wrapped in paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Shaoyao.
Zhang Shaoyao didn't reach out to pick it up immediately. His eyes fell on it and asked, "What is this?"
Mu Qing said: "This is the steamed bun that I boasted about treating you to when I was a kid. But when I went to check it out today, it seems that the store has changed and the people have changed."
Zhang Shaoyao was stunned for a moment, then gently took it and said, "Thank you, brother."
Mu Qing smiled uncomfortably: "Maybe it's too cold to taste."
Zhang Shaoyao shook his head, and when he turned to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to Mu Qing: "I seemed to have seen Miss Li going out just now."
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment before he realized that Zhang Shaoyao was talking about Li Miaozhen and said, "It's normal for her to go there to take a look."
Zhang Shaoyao shook his head, looked at Mu Qing and said slowly: "She always makes an appointment with Master to go there together, but this time she left a little suddenly."
