night snow full of clear branches

"You are also a rare girl. Ordinary people feel scared after hearing stories, but you are calm and calm, with your usual expression."

I turned my head to stare at the little boy, and he also looked at me. When the eyes met, they seemed to feel that the other party's background was not simple.

"It's rare for you. People who can write this kind of story either have psychological problems or have personal experience." My words are a bit straightforward for someone who just met and doesn't know the name of the other person.

The other party was taken aback for a moment, then smiled at me and said, "You are very interesting."

I also laughed, thinking, most likely this person has something to do with the Qizhou faction.

After I went back, I didn't tell others what I saw today.I have been thinking for a long time in the room alone, and I am ready to act alone. It's not that I don't understand the principle of strength in numbers, but I just want to try it myself.

Unknowingly, I went to the place where I was drinking tea and storytelling. It was already night, and the door of the teahouse was closed early, leaving a little afterglow in the sky to reflect its existence.

A person came out of the afterglow, it was the boy who was drinking tea together today.

"You are from the Qi family, right?" I asked.

He didn't comment, just said: "You give up, we swear not to be friends with the court." He glanced at the green jade stick at my waist, and I knew that he was ready to fight.

I laughed contemptuously, took off the green jade stick, and threw it to him. "I don't like fighting. If you are worried, I will leave it to you for safekeeping."

Probably because he didn't expect me to be so honest, the little boy took the green jade stick and looked at me suspiciously.

"First of all, it's good that I'm from the capital. Second, of course I'm not the only one here. Third, and most importantly, I'm not interested in recruiting or surrendering."

When I said this, the little boy became even more puzzled, and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Listen to the story."

When the words fell to the ground, he laughed out loud twice, still muttering: It's so interesting.

"Since I came to listen to the story with sincerity, in order to show my sincerity, I might as well tell you my name to protect Mu Qingzhi in front of the emperor." While clasping his fists, he was taken aback again.

"I heard that Mu Qingzhi is a celebrity around Liang Weixue. Although he is a celebrity, he doesn't care about government affairs, doesn't care about world affairs, can't make friends, and can't be defeated." arrive.

This guy is really bold, even if I am, I only occasionally think of someone surnamed Liang in my heart...

"I'm not interested in what the world says about me. I'm just curious about what the emperor, the Liang Weixue you call me, has done over the years to make people and gods angry."

The use of the word "human and god share the anger" is probably to please the other party's goodwill, and he has also succeeded in gaining the goodwill of the little boy. After this time, his vigilance towards me has been relaxed for the most part.

"If you still want to hear the story, come back to the teahouse tomorrow!" He left a sentence and was about to leave, but I suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Little white face——"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he remembered that something was wrong, and he didn't blame him, and said without turning his head, "There is really a white character in my name."

white?Qi Bai?Qi Xiaobai?I thought, since the other party doesn't mind, why not call him Xiaobai from now on.

The next day, I went to the teahouse as usual, but I didn’t see Xiaobai. Today is just the continuation of the story of the Qi family, which is the so-called next chapter.

The few people who came to Qizhou with me probably had already listened to Wei Xue's instructions, and they didn't even ask about my whereabouts.

In this next analysis, the Qi family has completely declined, the family has been destroyed, and even the ancestral hall has been demolished.

It is also rare in the world that a large family and aristocratic family were inexplicably reduced to this point overnight.

Because even the Su family, which is full of robbery, has a cause and effect to a certain extent, but the Qi family is different, everything happens strangely, and there are even rumors that they offended ghosts and gods.

"The story is over, how do you feel?" After the storyteller finished, Xiao Bai finally appeared.

I shook my head and said, "I don't feel anything, because I don't believe in this ending." I don't believe in any ghosts and gods in the world, at most there is a cycle of cause and effect.

"You don't look like an official."

"I also feel that I am not suitable, so are you willing to take me in?" I was joking in the second half, but Xiaobai took it a little seriously.

Xiao Bai said, "We don't accept women."

I really choked on one sentence. When gender becomes an obstacle, I really can't say anything.

After a long silence, I finally asked the question I wanted to ask the most in my heart. "Can you tell me why the emperor wants to align the family like this?"

I never doubted that the reason for the destruction of the Qi family would be someone else, maybe it was because I knew Wei Xue too well, but it could also be because I didn't know her too well.

"What if I tell you? You are just the one who listens to the story, and I am the one who makes up the story. Apart from that, we don't need any other relationship."

"That's right." I didn't continue to ask, I was always afraid that the truth behind it would make it hard for me to accept.

Speaking of which, I was also helpless to myself. I came out to find the answer when I was clearly in doubt, but when I was close to the answer, I regressed.

Wei Xue always said that because my life was so smooth, I always liked to escape some cruel realities, but I didn't realize it.

"The story is over, goodbye." Xiaobai waved his hand, but the gesture seemed to be gone, which made me feel stiff.

I've been waiting for other people's next move, but since I stopped listening to books, they don't go out anymore.

Maybe I'm getting in their way?

Having come to this conclusion, I packed my bags and left Qizhou at night. I wanted to go back and plead guilty. This so-called task, whether it was recruiting security or fighting, I couldn't do it.

Wei Xue, Wei Xue, after all, you know me too well, you know that no matter what I do, I can't succeed.

It's just that when I think of many people who end up like Xiaobai, I feel scared, and I don't even know what I'm afraid of, which is a bit ridiculous.

Wei Xue, who learned that I was returning to the palace, was not surprised at all as I expected.

"It's been less than a month, and my calculations are not bad at all." Wei Xue counted her fingers, as if she was showing off her magical calculations to me.

"If I stay any longer, I'm going to go crazy." I said lightly, but there was an unspeakable sadness in my heart. I couldn't forget that story, Xiaobai's vicissitudes in his eyes, or even the whole Qizhou city. The smell of blood, although that may be my illusion.

"Heh, no matter what, if you run away, I, who should be punished, will never forget it."

Should it be said that you are stern and selfless or that you are avenging yourself?

I didn't answer, and waited for the guards to invite me into the prison again. However, after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear what happened to Wei Xue, so I couldn't help but feel more nervous. Could there be something unexpected waiting for me?

"Forget it, you go down first."

Before I had time to wonder, I slipped away with light steps, wondering if she was reluctant to punish me?

It can be seen that my shortcoming of relying on favor and arrogance has really intensified, but even so, I am still afraid of Wei Xue in my heart. Some courtiers are afraid of the king, and some fools are puzzled by smart people.

Before going to bed at night, I asked Weixue why she didn't lock me up.

She covered the quilt for me and asked, "Do you want to hear me say it, but you don't want to." Her tone was affirmative.

I was embarrassed, and looked away at the hanging curtain above my head.

"There's nothing embarrassing about being hit by me, because I really thought so. What's more, it's useless to lock you up ten times. Anyone who should be disobedient is still disobedient."

"You said that so frighteningly." I understand that many of my actions are naive and ill-considered in Weixue's eyes, but her helpless tone aroused my panic.

"Sometimes, I don't know what to do with you." Vaguely, Wei Xue murmured such a sentence, and I strongly disagreed in my heart.

Clearly, it's me who doesn't know what to do with the other party, okay?

Wei Xue's tenderness has always been a weapon to deceive people. The moment I was notified and punished to sweep the palace the next day, I realized once again: Wei Xue is still the same Wei Xue, and she will never let my Wei Xue go because I am submissive. Snow.

"Master Mu, you have to hurry up, it used to take a long time for more than a dozen of us to sweep the entire palace..."

"Master Mu, you have to start sweeping from here."

"Master Mu, the supervisor said that the west courtyard was not cleaned and needs to be cleaned again."

"Master Shepherd..."

Amidst the urging voices one after another, I was sweating profusely, with a sore back and a sore back, and worked until midnight. What was even more hateful was that the supervisor of the inspection said that I was not cleaning well and had to do it again the next day.

I almost rushed over and hugged the supervisor's thigh and cried: God, do you know how big the palace is?It's not easy for me to finish sweeping before midnight, and I'm still required to sweep it clean?Do you know how tiring it is to use light work for a day...

It's a pity that I was too tired to speak at that time, and fell asleep leaning against the wall. When it was daylight, I was woken up by a nasty voice.

"Master Mu, get up quickly, or we will sweep till midnight again today."

I came to the garden, looked at the fallen leaves all over the ground, felt ashamed, wished I could look up to the sky and scream: "Damn autumn! What leaves are falling!"

Yes, I don't have the strength to howl anymore, so I can only drag the broom silently and sweep slowly.

I asked the maid next to me who was supervising me, and said, "What will happen if I don't sweep?"

"The emperor ordered that if Master Mu insists on disobeying the order, he will empty the chamber pot and push the dung cart every day."

These words were really like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, like a gust of wind, my whole body was messed up in the air, trembling.

Seeing this, the maid comforted me again, "Fortunately, it's autumn, if it's winter, when it snows heavily, it will be enough for people to sweep."

So should I be proud of myself?

This was my own doing, I was too naive, I thought that I would be locked up for a while when I came back, and I could chat with inmates and cell bosses I haven’t seen for a long time, but Wei Xue’s methods of punishing people are getting more and more hateful.

"Liang Weixue! You are too cruel!"

A moment after I said this, someone came to inform me that since I called the Holy One by his name, the palace would be swept for five days.

If there is no accident, this month will end, please collect it.
