smile to heart

=====================

Walking up the mossy mountain road shaded by the woods, every step is filled with the morning light falling between the branches and leaves.

Entering the main entrance, Qi Zhong could smell a scent of rice porridge, which seemed to be coming from the dining hall next to him. Calculating the time, at this point, it should be when their disciples are having breakfast.He had already driven all night, and now he was hungry.

There was a pause in his footsteps, and Qi Zhong hesitated to go forward and talk to Mu Yun about it, but when the words came to his lips, he quickly dismissed the thought, and said to himself: You can't be so useless.Bear with it.

After walking a few more steps, Qi Shengsheng passed by two disciples who were rushing to do morning exercises, holding two steaming steamed buns in their hands.

When Mu Yun turned around, he happened to see him staring at someone else's breakfast and swallowing his saliva. He suddenly felt a little distressed. He hurried forward and said apologetically, "Brother Qi, it's still early, I'll take you to have breakfast first..."

"Ah? Have breakfast! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's go!"

When he heard that there was something to eat, Qi Zhong suddenly regained his energy, and he stopped seeing Mu Yun. He stepped forward in twos and twos, looking at Mu Yun's eyes expectantly.

"Ah."

Mu Yun originally thought to take him to rest first, and pass the meal to him alone later.It can be seen that it is pitiful for a person to be so hungry, so he simply put aside his business for the time being and went to a nearby dining hall to have breakfast with him.

In the cafeteria, it was the time when it was overcrowded. Qi Zhong entered the room and looked around. The tables and chairs were all taken up, and a bunch of young students in white clothes neatly filled up the table after table, eating very quietly. It was completely different from the noise and noise he saw when he was eating in Changting.

It is not a lie to say that their family respects etiquette and the law, and is well-bred.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Zhonglian's steps became lighter, and he honestly followed Mu Yun to the ordering place.

When picking up the meal, Qi Zhong wanted to hold it with both hands, but Mu Yun took it first and smiled at him: "Let me do it."

"Ah, thanks..."

Qi Zhong slowly uttered the word thank you, but he felt the strange eyes around him. Everyone seemed to recognize Mu Yun who came to the cafeteria to eat. They were shocked and curious, and then looked at him again.

"Let's go." Mu Yun looked normal, and led him to a secluded table by the window.

In this way, looking at the past from Qi Zhong's perspective, there is no other person's eyes to disturb, as if the two of them are left here to eat now.

……

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Qi finally expressed his feeling: Why is his food so delicious?

After eating for a while, Qi Zhong was finally full, and leaned lazily against the window sill, thinking that Mu Yun had been out for a long time, why he hasn't come back yet.

Just after thinking about it, another steady white-clothed disciple came to the door, and said politely to Qi Zhong: "Young Master Qi, I'm sorry, the third young master has urgent matters to deal with. So now I will do it for you and take you to see the eldest young master. He will I have arranged everything for you. Please take care of me."

Urgent matter?What's the rush and you can't even take care of food?

After Qi Zhong heard this, he felt a little disappointed: Could it be that he felt that he was a son, but it was unseemly to come to the cafeteria to eat, so he took the opportunity to leave first, and then sent someone to fool him, right?

"Oh. It's okay." Yanyan agreed, although she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but Qi finally went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, and very much cooperated with their request.

Qi Zhong followed that disciple halfway, and suddenly saw a young man with a jade face and brocade clothes in the small garden next to him, who was wailing around two beautiful girls.

"Sister Chaoyun, sister Wanyue, when can I take back Yuefanghua? It's so cold on the top of Fufeng Mountain... woohoo."

While Shen Jishu pretended to wipe away his tears to win sympathy, he looked around guiltily from the corner of his eye to see if anyone from the Mu family had heard him say bad things.

Shen Qi's two disciples looked at each other, and tacitly pulled away Shen Jishu's sleeves in front of him, and saw through his tricks: "Young master, you should obediently meditate in Mu's residence for a while, if you return to Luan Empress Yang, if her cultivation still hasn't improved, Madam will really be angry!"

Zhao Yun's words made Shen Jishu wipe away his sweat in embarrassment.

Wanyue continued to add: "Yes. If you don't work hard, young master, Madam won't send us to bring you snacks next time, and..."

"And what?" Shen Jishu asked nervously.

Wanyue said solemnly: "Furthermore, Ma'am will also throw away all those powders and ointments that you made yourself in your room, young master, and say that it is annoying to look at, so that you won't have the chance to lose your mind again."

Hearing the threat, Shen Jishu immediately widened his eyes, and said aggrievedly: "No! I still hope that after the new product is developed, I will make a lot of money! Sisters, you must persuade her!"

"Hahaha...Young master, you should focus on your business." Zhao Yun teased him with a smile.

Wanyue stopped talking nonsense with him, and said goodbye: "It's getting late, we have to go back and report to Madam, young master, please take care of yourself."

"Hey, two sisters...you must help me persuade her."

Seeing his family members walking away with swords, Shen Jishu reluctantly chased after him, but accidentally stepped on the mud on the ground, slipped, and fell to the ground, looking aggrieved.

"Oh, it hurts me to death, woo woo..."

Qi Zhong, who was watching the play with his arms folded, saw this scene, inexplicably wanted to laugh, and was very kind, ready to go over and give him a hand.

I don't know that I haven't approached yet.On the opposite side came the same person, wearing a star crown and a Bilan gown, with the fresh green spring of yucca buds embroidered on the tail of the skirt.Chong and the two smiled slightly, revealing a gentle elegance.

"Ji Shu, get up first."

"Brother Muxi..." After being helped by someone, Shen Jishu felt better, and obediently called for someone to come.

Qi Zhong stood aside and immediately knew the identity of the visitor.

"Be careful when you walk next time. During the rainy season in Fufeng, the ground is often wet and slippery. If you don't pay attention, you may fall down."

"Yes..." With his head down, Shen Jishu agreed sullenly.

"Young Master Qi. You too." After comforting the person beside her, Mu Xi raised her eyes and smiled gently at Qi Zhong, and immediately turned her attention back to the guest.

Qi Zhong was still wondering if the eldest son hadn't seen him coming, but when the greetings fell to his ears, he was rather flattered.

"...Eh." He agreed slowly.

Mu Xi thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Jing Yao has already told me about your situation, come with me first, after walking all the way, you should take a good rest."

"Oh, then there is Mr. Lao."

Seeing that someone took the initiative to entertain him, Qi Zhong concentrated his thoughts and hurried over.

Seeing that Mu Xi was taking such good care of this person, Shen Jishu on the side was a little curious, and leaned over, looked at Qi Zhong for a few times, somehow felt very familiar, but couldn't pronounce the name.

"Ji Shu, you should go back and do your homework."

When leaving, Mu Xi kindly reminded him.

"Oh well."

When Qi Zhong passed by him, he also nodded out of politeness: "Master Shen, take a step first."

"... Oh." Shen Jishu replied dumbfoundedly, but looking at Qi Zhong's playful fox-like smiling eyes, he seemed to have found something from his memory.

"Could it be him?" After the person left, he muttered on the spot.

After passing through the winding scenery, Qi Zhong followed Mu Xi to a small courtyard.

As soon as you enter, you can see the flowers and trees in the courtyard, the green plants are everywhere, and the fence under the blue tiles is full of birds and flowers. Such a quiet and elegant place seems to be very suitable for relaxation.

On the lower steps, Mu Xi led Qi Zhong to the door of the dormitory. He turned around and said politely: "Young master Qi, Jing Yao said that you still have a serious illness and need to recuperate, so I specially obeyed his request, I chose a quiet wing room for you, take a look, are you satisfied?"

Qi Zhong was stunned, a little surprised for a moment, and forgot to reply even thank you.

I just feel that Mu Yun is as meticulous as a hair, and even considers these trivial matters so meticulously, what else can he be dissatisfied with.

"Very, very good. Thank you, Eldest Young Master."

"You don't need to say thank you. Since you are a guest, we should take care of you."

Mu Xi took advantage of the opportunity to open the door and made a gesture of invitation.

After the two entered the room, they sat at the table and chatted roughly.

"Mr. Qi, during your stay in Fufeng, if you have any needs, you can tell me or Mu Yin. As long as it is reasonable, we will try our best to satisfy."

The moment Mu Xi poured the tea, she slowly started talking.

Qi Ding nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable with his hospitality: "Master Mu, you are too polite. I, I feel embarrassed."

"You don't have to be strict. Everything is a courtesy to guests. But please, Mr. Qi, after a few days of recuperation, discuss the case with us in detail as soon as possible, so as to seek justice for the victim as soon as possible."

Mu Xi's words froze Qi Zhong's face when he said the request without showing any sharpness. Thinking of the desperate escape that day, there was quite a shadow in his mind, and he didn't really want to recall it.

But seeing Mu Xi's sincerely hopeful eyes, Qi Zhong forced a smile: "Oh, yes, yes. If I think of something, I will discuss it with Mr. Yun."

"This..." Hearing such words, Mu Xi's face was slightly condensed, she pondered for a moment, then said gently: "Mr. Qi is enlightened, we are grateful. But if there are any key clues, please ask Mr. Qi to tell me or Just Mu Yin, there is no need to look for Jing Yao anymore."

"Ah? But...but it was Mu Yun who brought me back." Qi Zhong suddenly sensed that there was something in the other party's words, and suddenly felt the invisible pressure on his shoulders, and his voice became softer by half.

Mu Xi still smiled and explained politely: "Young Master Qi, don't worry too much. The Mu family took over the case of Linglongxin, and you are right with us. The main reason is that apart from the case, Jingyao has other important matters in his hands. You spend a lot of time outside during the day, you may rarely see him at home, in order to avoid wasting Mr. Qi's patience, we can discuss these matters with you in time."

After hearing this, Qi Zhong bowed his head in silence, frowning slightly, with a nameless loss between his brows.

Seeing his expression, Mu Xi took the opportunity of passing water to show concern: "Mr. Qi?"

"Uh. May I ask a presumptuous question?" Qi Zhong raised his head upon hearing the sound.

Mu Xi nodded tolerantly: "You ask."

"Young Master Yun...how much is his monthly salary?" Qi Zhong raised his eyes and asked cautiously.

"Puff cough cough..." Mu Xi was about to drink water, but was frightened by the nonsensical words and hurriedly stopped.

"...Doing things for the common people, why do you come to talk about salary? This is the case with Jiugai Mountain Immortal, and Mu Yun should be the same. Why does Mr. Qi ask such a question?"

Qi Zhong laughed. He wanted to feel sorry for that person, but the words he said had a different meaning: "I, I just think that he should either be famous in the world or rich because of his hard work. The hard work he put in , there must be something to be satisfied..."

Hearing this, Mu Xi's thoughts sank a little. Remembering that Mu Yun's reaction to Qi Zhong was a little rare before, she thought that there was something special about him. His impression has faded: with such superficial views, it seems that this person will not be able to go the same way as Jing Yaodao after all...

"Do you think that Jing Yao does so much hard work for the sake of fame and fortune?"

"Oh, no, don't get me wrong, my lord, I'm not the kind of person who is greedy for utilitarianism. I just think that a big name wins the hearts of the people, and money is easy to do things..." Qi Zhong was a little helpless, and the more he said, the more he deviated from his heart.

"Young master Qi's idea is really unique."

Mu Xi smiled, and said calmly: "The Mu family's century-old foundation can provide Jingyao with all the external needs. He only needs to do the part of becoming a fairy."

"……makes sense."

Surprised by the meaning of the other party's comparison, Qi Zhong couldn't help thinking about a few more meanings, and unnaturally glanced at the scenery outside the door to play down the embarrassing atmosphere.

Mu Xi didn't explain clearly, he just thought about it.

Suddenly, Qi finally felt a little frustrated.

The other party is not only oppressive, but also scheming. He hasn't sat here for a long time, and they have used both soft and hard ways to squeeze his use value... Mu Yun, are you also this kind of person?What a mistake.

The good feeling in the morning turned into a wave of nameless anger in the blink of an eye, Qi Zhong said in his heart: I am not as good as you guys, unless Mu Yun himself comes forward, otherwise, I will not say a word!
