In the small courtyard, the workers were making final modifications to the small courtyard under the instructions of the new craftsmen.
Chen Zhuo, who had just seen off Huaifenghua and his party, was standing in the middle of the courtyard. He was just relieved when he heard a sudden noise at the door of the backyard behind him. He immediately said angrily: "You idiots, you don't think anyone knows about us." This is it, give it all to me..."
Chen Zhuo turned around as he spoke, but when he saw the young man standing at the door, he immediately fell silent and asked in surprise: "City Lord? Why are you here again?"
Seeing that Chen Zhuo was the only one in the courtyard, Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Isn't anyone else coming?"
"Uh." Chen Zhuo confessed a little, "Master Huaigu and the others were here just now, and they should go back to the alchemy workshop now. City Lord, don't worry, I have asked everyone to hurry up and work hard, and try to... before Miss Bai knows about it... …”
Chen Zhuo looked at the woman who suddenly appeared from behind Mu Qing, and the words he said were swallowed back in his stomach again. Bai Qingyi looked at everything in the small courtyard curiously with her beautiful eyes. Her mood was not calm, and she asked with a sullen face. Said: "What do you want to hide from me?"
"!"
Chen Zhuo was shocked and looked at Mu Qing. Mu Qing's expression at this time was unpredictable. Chen Zhuo thought he had completely messed up the matter. Mu Qing was about to launch an attack to accuse him, but he stayed where he was for a while and forgot to answer.
Bai Qingyi walked into the small courtyard, walked around Chen Zhuo and walked towards the room, but still did not forget the question just now, "What are you going to hide from me?"
Mu Qing followed Bai Qingyi and walked into the room. He nodded to Chen Zhuo and said, "Don't be nervous. I brought Qingyi here. Say what you have to say."
In the room, the new craftsman from Wangxue City knew the identity of Mu Qing who came into the room, and his expression became extremely respectful. When Mu Qing looked at him, he quickly said: "Don't worry, City Lord, I used to follow my father here. I don’t know how many houses have been built in Juye City. Even the original city lord’s mansion was built by my father. I will definitely be able to restore the original style of Juye City to you.”
Mu Qing looked at Chen Zhuo in surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that this guy was so reliable and could find such a craftsman. Chen Zhuo had been observing Bai Qingyi's expression and saw that Bai Qingyi had frowned and said nothing since he entered the room. , hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "City Lord, these people like to brag. Even if his father was the foreman at the time, this kid would not be as capable as his father. It's a pity that his father is unwilling to leave the north, otherwise it would be better for his father to follow him. .”
When the craftsman was told this, he immediately became anxious, "I have got 99% of the true inheritance from my father. As long as you, the city lords, are willing to pay for the materials, I can take care of Juye, let alone such a small courtyard, or even the entire street outside." The most prosperous street in the city will be moved here for you."
When the craftsman said this, he looked at Mu Qing curiously, "City Lord, Zhuque City and Juye City are really poles apart. When I came here, I looked at the buildings in the city. To be honest, the ones in Juye City that can withstand the cold wind and sand are... Square and thick walls are not suitable here."...
Mu Qing smiled at the craftsman and said: "The function of resisting the wind, sand and cold can be changed, but the feeling of home cannot be lost. I don't want to see everyone traveling all the way south to get here, only to run around again because they have no support. From now on, we will call this place our home." .”
When the craftsman heard Mu Qing's explanation, he became truly respectful towards Mu Qing. He cupped his fists towards Mu Qing and said sternly: "City Lord, you are the first person I have ever seen who thinks about these ordinary people. I will send a letter back immediately. , my father knows about this, and he probably wants to do his part for the people in his hometown."
"This is a good thing."
When the craftsman said this, he actually revealed his intention to settle in Suzaku City. Mu Qing looked at Chen Zhuo, who smiled and said, "I will arrange this."
After the craftsmen finished chatting, they went to the courtyard to direct people to work. Chen Zhuo wisely drove everyone else out of the room, leaving only Mu Qing and Bai Qingyi, and there was still a place that had not been properly positioned. furniture.
Bai Qingyi walked aside and planned to move a long table in front of the screen. Seeing this, Mu Qing quickly helped, and Bai Qingyi did not refuse.
Soon, with the concerted efforts of the two of them, the room that had seemed messy and crowded before suddenly began to look like a home.
"Hoo~"
Mu Qing leaned on the couch and quietly looked at Bai Qingyi, who was sweating on his forehead.
Bai Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in an emotionless voice, "What are you looking at?"
Mu Qing sat upright and patted the empty space next to him. Bai Qingyi glanced at him and finally came over and sat down next to him.
Mu Qing looked at her side face closely and asked expectantly: "How do you feel? Does it feel like home here?"
Bai Qingyi inadvertently sat upright and glanced sideways to see Mu Qing's smile. She quickly looked away and looked down at the floor: "So this is what you did without telling me?"
"Yes." Mu Qing nodded, "Except for this small courtyard, the street outside will be in the style of Juye City. To be more precise, it should be like Yiluo Street."
Bai Qingyi's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she continued to look at the floor, "It's Bai Zhi and the others who told you."
Mu Qing smiled slightly, looking extremely sincere at this moment: "I don't know if you have figured it out, so I have to ask them to help me. In the future, Yiluo Street will be part of Zhuque Street, and it will be very lively here."
Bai Qingyi stood up and walked to the window, looked at the busy workers outside, and asked, "When did it start?"
Mu Qing came over, glanced at her, and said, "The night I came back, I wanted to confess our relationship in front of everyone, but... I still told my aunt about our relationship the next morning."
Bai Qingyi looked outside, but her heart was very flustered. Speaking of which, she overheard the conversation between Mu Qing and Huaifenghua the next morning. It turned out...
Thinking that Mu Qing had not come to see her these days, but was actually doing this, Bai Qingyi felt that the emotions she occasionally had these days were too inappropriate. When she came to Suzaku City, she no longer seemed to be the same person who could be in a dangerous place. A calm man who comes and goes freely.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Mu Qing found that his frankness did not seem to have the desired effect, and he felt a little regretful, but he still said: "If you don't like it, you can call someone to adjust it immediately."
Bai Qingyi shook her head, suppressed the chaotic emotions, leaned sideways against the window, her eyes slowly swept over the furnishings in the room, pursed her lips, and sighed softly: "The City Lord's Mansion in Juye City It is true that it is on Yiluo Street, and the furnishing style of this room is indeed similar to that of Juye City, but it is not the same as the room I lived in when I was a child."
Mu Qing smiled bitterly: "It seems that working behind closed doors won't work, but we can still make changes. Those craftsmen are still outside."
"No." Bai Qingyi shook her head, turned to look at Mu Qing, and chuckled: "I went to Baidi City when I was a child, and asked my father to decorate my room in the style of Baidi City at that time. You let those No matter how much the craftsmen try to change it, I’m afraid it won’t work.”
Mu Qing was a little embarrassed, but he quickly realized something and stared blankly at Bai Qingyi.
Bai Qingyi was a little confused and touched her face with her hand, "What's wrong?"
Mu Qing said: "You smiled. If I remember correctly, this is the first time you have laughed in so many days."
Bai Qingyi blinked her eyes, and two blushes quickly appeared on her fair cheeks. She lowered her head and muttered: "You didn't come to see me. How did you know that this was the first time I smiled?"
Mu Qing replied: "I come to see you every day, and you like to stand in front of the window in a daze."
"!"
Bai Qingyi suddenly opened her eyes wide, and before she could realize what was going on, she was hugged by Mu Qing.
Mu Qing hugged her tightly and said, "I will find a group of craftsmen from Baidi City later. I will definitely make this small courtyard feel like home. Trust me."
Bai Qingyi heard that Mu Qing's words were full of seriousness and nervousness, and her somewhat stiff body slowly softened, leaning on Mu Qing's chest, and said softly: "Don't think about changing these."
Mu Qing was puzzled: "Why?"
Bai Qingyi said: "Today, Yiluo Street is still there, but my home in Juye City has long since disappeared with my father. As for my home in Zhuque City..."
Bai Qingyi raised her head: "What style is not important, what is important is the present. Only now can I feel at home."
Mu Qing immediately understood what Bai Qingyi was thinking, and hugged her happily, wishing to hold her into his body, and said, "Don't worry, Suzaku City will always have your home."
Two lines of clear tears fell from Bai Qingyi's face, and she nodded gently: "Yes."
The two hugged each other for a long time.
When they let go of each other, the craftsmen in the small courtyard were gone.
Mu Qing looked at the sky, took Bai Qingyi's hand and said, "Let's go. Auntie and the others may still be at the alchemy workshop. We just go back with everyone."
Bai Qingyi suddenly felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "This is too fast, everyone is here..."
Mu Qing pulled Bai Qingyi to the street and pointed in the direction of the alchemy workshop with a helpless expression: "It's not far from there."
Bai Qingyi suddenly reacted after Mu Qing said, "Have they been here before?"
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Well, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but..."
Mu Qing felt the softness and warmth from his palms and smiled: "But the result is still a surprise to me."
Bai Qingyi looked back at the small courtyard. It was only then that she realized that the small courtyard was not completed at this time. Remembering that Mu Qing had already faced the scrutinizing eyes of Huaifenghua and the others alone, Bai Qingyi felt a lot more relaxed and pursed her lips with a smile: "It won't be good if the courtyard is completed. I will be embarrassed to change the style by then."
Mu Qing smiled and said curiously: "I will tell Chen Zhuo that they don't need to touch this small courtyard, and we will do it by ourselves. But what do you want to change this time? Is it still the style of Baidi City? ?」
Bai Qingyi narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Actually, the yard I live in now is pretty good, so let's do it like that."
"No problem!" Mu Qing assured, patting her chest.
Bai Qingyi's knot in her heart disappeared, and the two of them walked towards the alchemy workshop, talking and laughing.
When we came to the backyard where Huaifenghua usually rested, we suddenly heard Huaifenghua's voice, "Let's just pretend we don't know about the matters in the small courtyard over there to avoid embarrassment for them."
Then came Wang Yeqing's voice: "Especially you two, Xiaowei, you can't keep your mouth shut. If you ruin their affairs, then you and Yue Shan will help me in the future!"
Mu Qing took Bai Qingyi and eavesdropped outside the courtyard for a while. Then she looked at Bai Qingyi and said with her eyes, "Look, actually everyone knows."
Bai Qingyi rolled her eyes at him, still a little embarrassed, but the next moment, Mu Qing pulled her directly into the small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, the girls were stunned for a moment when they saw Mu Qing suddenly barging in, especially Bai Qingyi behind him.
Only Mu Qing was the thickest-skinned. In the eyes of everyone, he still tightly grasped Bai Qingyi's hand that was trying to break free, and said with a smile, "Everyone is here."
