Deep in the night knowing the snow

When Mu Tangfeng woke up, he changed places around him, and Qingnu, Shangguan Yuetu and the scholar all disappeared.In front of him was a courtyard with high eaves and dark tiles, with red lanterns hanging underneath, turning slowly, and light yellow tassels floating in the air.

Green hibiscus branches and leaves protrude from the walled courtyard. The branches and leaves are flourishing, and the pale pink stamens are more delicate and beautiful.

Mu Tangfeng supported Liang Zhu to stand up, wondering where this place was, when Wei Fenglin's voice came from behind him.

"This is Shangguan Yuetu's memory."

Wei Fenglin didn't know when he changed his clothes. He wore a silver-white Yuehua robe, with dark patterns of pear blossom branches embroidered on the cuffs. He was tall and tall, and looked far into the distance.

"Now this place is the residence of the prefect of Suzhou."

A maid with a cloud bun, jade hairpin, and long skirt with wide sleeves passed by. Mu Tangfeng hesitated for a moment, but did not move. The two maids turned a blind eye to them and walked directly past them.

"I don't know why Miss treats her so much...but she's just a poor servant girl from the countryside..."

"I also said that her talent can be compared with the young master's, but I really think highly of her."

The two maids left with trays complaining, and their figures gradually disappeared into the depths of the corridor.

Wei Fenglin, "Come with me."

Mu Tangfeng followed behind him, walked for an indeterminate amount of time along the corridor, and came to a remote small courtyard.

The yard was overgrown with grass, trees and gravel, and the bluestone on the ground had cracked several long marks. In the corner, a young girl was sitting by the water tank washing clothes.

The girl has black hair and black eyes, and her face is yellow and thin, which makes people feel a little thin, but those eyes are firm and full of color, and she looks radiant.

"This is... Shangguan Yuetu?"

Wei Fenglin nodded lightly, "She was the rough envoy of the eldest lady of the prefect of Suzhou back then."

Mu Tangfeng had heard about this eldest lady, she was the elder sister of He Yunxi who was famous in Kyushu after marrying Shangguan Yuetu.

It is rumored that this woman looks like a beautiful woman, frowning her eyebrows and concentrating, which makes people lose their minds. Because of her poor health, she often stays in bed, and she is known as Shengjing's sick beauty.

Shangguan Yuetu was about thirteen or fourteen years old at this time, and there was a pile of clothes as high as a hill next to her, which seemed to be servants' changing robes.

It was winter at this time, and the water was covered with a layer of ice. Her hands were frostbitten in the cold water, which made her already rough hands even more ugly.

She lowered her head and scrubbed carefully one by one. When a passing maid taunted her, she turned a deaf ear to it and just focused on what she was doing.

When she finished washing her clothes and it was dark, she put the clothes on the clothesline, washed her hands and went back to the room.

Mu Tangfeng saw her enter the room on the west side, a small sliver of light was reflected by the window, and the candlelight reflected Shangguan Yuetu's side face.She was holding a book in her hand, and when she read the book, she knew it was dawn, and the candle lamp was only extinguished when it was almost bright.

The branches outside turned green from dead branches and leaves, and fell to the ground with the wind, spreading a layer of branches and leaves on the bluestone floor.

Mu Tangfeng knew that this was the passage of time in his memory, Shangguan Yuetu read day by day and night, and never slacked off for a single day.

He sighed to himself, "It's really rare to have such a heart."

No wonder the Empress is such a harsh and suspicious person, but later she is willing to support her to the throne despite all opinions.

Their perspectives changed with Shangguan Yuetu. This day, Shangguan Yuetu put on a new suit early in the morning, combed his hair in a bun, and inserted a light blue jade hairpin. Together, make a crisp sound.

Her eyes were brighter than usual, and she couldn't hide her emotions on her immature face, and her expression was a little excited, as if she was looking forward to the person she was going to see next.

Mu Tangfeng and Wei Fenglin followed Shangguan Yuetu, and they arrived at a courtyard near the main hall, which was full of golden peony leaves and green tea plums, all of which were rare varieties, and many servants were guarding outside.

The eldest daughter of the He family, He Jingxiao, would be seriously ill every autumn and winter, and this year it was even more serious. She only woke up in late spring, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to see Shangguan Yuetu.

Besides the servants, He Jingxiao's younger brother He Yunxi was guarding outside.

Mu Tangfeng took a look at He Yunxi. The man was dressed in a brocade blue robe with cloud patterns, his black hair was crowned by a jade crown, his face was snow-white and handsome, and his expression was indifferent.

Accumulated stones are like jade, pine trees are like emerald green, Lang Yan is unique, unique in the world.

Seeing Shangguan Yuetu, He Yunxi smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and said in a warm voice, "Are you here to see sister?"

Mu Tangfeng noticed with sharp eyes that Shangguan Yuetu's ears were a little red, and he said, "It turns out that these two have a relationship for a long time."

Wei Fenglin chuckled, "There are too many people who like He Yunxi because of their talent and looks."

Shangguan Yuetu was inexplicably nervous, lowered her eyelashes, let out a soft "hmm", and stepped aside.

The two of them didn't talk anymore, He Yunxi was obviously absent-minded, and he turned around and went in when someone called his name inside.

He came out shortly after he entered, with a little irritability in his expression, he walked up to Shangguan Yuetu, and said coldly, "Sister let you in."

Shangguan Yuetu squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything for a long time, He Yunxi had already left.

Looking at He Yunxi's back, she was a little lost, and she collected her thoughts and went into the inner hall.

They followed Shangguanyue Tu in, the door of the vermilion lacquer room was closed, and they could clearly see the woman on the bed.

He Jingxiao was born really well, with black hair and light lips, and a pityable look between her brows and eyes.

The two of them chatted in the room for a long time, and Shangguan Yuetu came out of the room when He Jingxiao looked a little tired.

After He Jingxiao woke up, Shangguan Yuetu's life was obviously much easier.She goes back and forth between her small yard and He Jingxiao's yard every day, no need to wash other servants' clothes in winter, no one will put snakes and insects on her bedding, and no one will deduct her meals and silver.

Mu Tangfeng discovered that every time Shangguanyue Tu came over, He Jingxiao often found excuses to call He Yunxi over, deliberately trying to match the two of them.

It's a pity that Luoshen wanted King Xiang to be ruthless, and He Yunxi obviously saw it, and was not very happy. His handsome face was like ice in the cold winter, and it was so cold.

What a smart person Shangguan Yuetu is, he naturally saw it, and he stopped making fun of himself. Every time the two of them watched He Jingxiao struggle to find a topic, they agreed with each other from time to time.

She stayed in the prefect of Suzhou for two years. When He Yunxi was 16 years old, he was going to Shengjing to take the exam. He Jingxiao asked him to bring Shangguan Yuetu there.

The eldest sister is like a mother, He Yunxi finally agreed, and took Shangguan Yuetu on the road together.

Shengjing was far away, and the relationship between the two eased along the way. He Yunxi found that Shangguan Yuetu was not what he thought.

Going by boat to Shengjing, the full moon hangs high above the top, the bright stars surround the moonlight, the sound of water flowing on the river is constant, and the night wind blows head-on with a cool feeling.

He Yunxi's brows and eyes reflected a soft expression, and he smiled brightly at Shangguan Yuetu, "If you are a man, maybe we can become confidants."

Smiles are like flowers blooming in the snow, Wan Muchun in front of the diseased tree, dead branches blooming, new shoots break out from the depths of the ground, and the spring bamboo shoots carry the smell of moist rain.

On the Xiangjiang River, on the way to Shengjing, because of He Yunxi's smile, her heart has been disturbed for many years.

Shangguan Yue hid her emotions in her lacquered eyes, and smiled at him, "Yeah... If I were a man, it would be fine."

Maybe you won't be tempted, and you won't fall in love so easily.

The two of them arrived in Shengjing. Shengjing is a prosperous city, home of many aristocratic families, and the folk customs are much more open. He Yunxi has been admired by many women here.

Every day, someone sent food sachets and the like, but He Yunxi refused.

He has someone in his heart, and what he wants is the number one woman in the world, the Empress Jiang Xueci.

That woman was known as the number one beauty in Shengjing, she was ruthless and cold-hearted, she didn't look surprised in the eyes when she looked at him, and her attitude towards him was also alienated and indifferent.

He met Jiang Xueci once in Suzhou Yuyu Building, and he couldn't hold others in his heart anymore, and his eyes were full of the woman whose highest point was like the moon and stars.

When he was in Shengjing, He Yunxi was busy rushing for the imperial examination, and Shangguan Yuetu spent his free time in the bookstore, only looking but not buying, which made the owner of the bookstore very unhappy, and every time he saw her come in, he would stare at her.

If it was an ordinary woman, she would definitely go out shamelessly, or buy a book and read it again, but Shangguan Yuetu is not an ordinary woman, she went into the bookstore without changing her face, and every time she finished looking for a book, she just sat in the corner one day.

When the boss of Shuge couldn't take it anymore, a woman's voice came and asked him why he seemed so distressed.

The owner of Shuge found someone to talk to, and told about Shangguan Yuetu's behavior like pouring beans. He said in secret several times that he had never seen such a brazen woman.

The woman listening to him smiled lightly, but didn't say much, she put a silver coin on the table with her long and white fingers.

"When she comes over in the future, don't chase her away, let her read the books in the bookstore."

The owner of Shuge hurriedly said hello, looked up, and met a bright and charming face.

The silver fell to the ground with a "slap", and the owner of Shuge looked directly at it.

When Shangguan Yuetu came to Shuge again, he found that the boss was much warmer to him, he stopped staring at her, and would often bring snacks to her while she was reading with a smile.

She was a little puzzled, but she didn't want anything from the owner of the bookstore. She frowned and thanked the owner of the bookstore, and promised that she would never damage the books.

She worked hard day and night, hoping that one day she would be listed in the Great Song Dynasty, win for He Jingxiao, and at the same time, she wanted to be worthy of the person she liked from the bottom of her heart.

Later, she often met a woman in the bookstore. The woman was extremely beautiful, and every time she sat there, the woman would sit near her, making it difficult for people not to notice.

She ignored it, and after nearly two months, when she was about to go back after finishing the book as usual, the woman stopped her.

The woman smiled and said, "It's really admirable to see the girl addicted to books every day in the book pavilion. I want to talk to the girl alone, would the girl be willing to give me a favor?"
