"Master, it's late at night."

The night was deep, and there was still a hint of heat in the wind. The house is small, and even if the doors and windows are opened, there is still no heat dissipated, and it is still extremely hot. On the small table, in addition to the pen and ink, there are scrolls, and Annu, who was waiting on the side, was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a handsome appearance, rolled up his sleeves and took a skewer to pick out candles, looking at the master who was still holding the scroll, he was a little helpless, and a little distressed.

The young man reading by the candle behind the table raised his head, and the jumping candle flame shone on a face that was even more immature than Annu, but it was a little more gentle.

He looked back out the window and saw that it was already the moonlit willows. Exhaling softly, the young man put down the book in his hand, he didn't feel it when he was engrossed in reading just now, but now he felt soreness and numbness with just a slight movement. Annu walked behind the boy and helped him press his shoulder, and the boy instantly felt a lot more comfortable.

"I didn't notice that it was so late." The young man took a thin bamboo note and sandwiched it in the book, and felt a lot more comfortable on his body, so he patted Annu's hand, "Okay, get ready to rest." ”

Anu nodded, carefully picked up the candlestick and went to the bedside. It is summer now, and there are many mosquitoes, so before going to bed, you must use a candle to clean the mosquitoes in the tent so that the master can sleep peacefully.

When I turned around inadvertently, I saw the boy tidying up the things on the table. The only candlestick in the room was in Annu's hand, and the young man's place was much darker, but he was still able to put the book in the right place, and he was now familiar with doing these things.

The master is a rare and generous person, and it would be a good thing if he could follow him all the time.

Annu turned her head away from looking, looking intently at the inside of the tent, occasionally reaching out to slap the mosquitoes, but most of the time it was empty.

By the time the boy had cleaned up his desk, Annu had just come out of the tent. Although the two have been living a hard life, after all, the master and servant are different, and Annu does not live with the boy but sleeps on the bamboo couch at the door. The boy lay down on the bed and read a book for a day, but now he doesn't feel tired, but his brain is swollen, but he can't sleep.

The tents were blue, some thick, and they could not afford to use thin veils, so they could only use thick ones. Gently opened a corner of the tent, and it was not windy for a long time, so the young man resigned himself to putting the tent away.

Turning over, there was the sound of Annu's peaceful breathing in his ears, thinking that he was already asleep. The boy looked at the blue curtain, but still did not feel sleepy.

The place where he lives is the ancestral house of the Mu family, the Mu family is the top family in Yizhou, Jiangnan, who has been doing business for generations, selling cloth and silk, knitting and embroidery, in this world that is not very inhibiting merchants, the Mu family is like a fish in water. It's just that Mu Qing didn't have the slightest brilliance, or in other words, in the nine years before Mu Qing, how glorious the Mu family was, how difficult his life was.

He is the illegitimate son of the eldest lady of the Mu family, and he still doesn't know who his biological father is. The name also followed his mother's surname, and the only thing his mother left for his children before she died, except for a piece of jade pendant, was the name Mu Qing.

The boy's name is Mu Qing, this is the name in his previous life, and he is still this name after the crossing.

There is a piece of jade on the neck, smooth, without any nicks, but it is warm and warm, bright red color, and it is not ordinary at first glance.

It has been more than a month since I came to this world, there are emperors, courts, poems and songs endowed with talented and beautiful women, but it is not any dynasty that Mu Qing is familiar with.

There used to be Li Bai here, but Li Shixian has become a generation of swordsmanship, and there are countless admirers.

There used to be Su Shi here, but Su Dongpo traveled all over the country as a foodie and tasted many delicacies.

Da Zhou, the country's surname is Li, this dynasty that has never existed made Mu Qing a little frightened.

What made him even more frightened was that he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have some memories of this empty dynasty.

In a novel I once read, the dynasty in which the protagonist lives is Da Zhou! It's just that the protagonist is not Mu Qing, but the sixth son of the current emperor, Li Qianyu. This benevolent brother is a generation of murderers, killing his father, killing his brother, and finally ascending the throne to create a prosperous era for the emperor.

According to the calculation of time, this murderer is probably still in the loneliness of not being taken seriously.

Crossing is a bizarre enough thing, and the person who crosses is still a person who has no protagonist name or even cannon fodder life, Mu Qing is a little discouraged.

But immediately, he regained his spirits. This month, he also saw clearly, this Mu family, from the master of the family to the slave, except for Annu's sincere surprise to him, no one took him seriously, if it wasn't for everyone's slack and neglect, a good nine-year-old boy would not have been killed by a cold wind, and let him take his place.

Mu Qing is a stain on the Mu family, as long as this stain is a day, Mu Qing will have no way out, and even, he will die.

I thought about it in my head, and my body was not as hot as it was just now. Turning over, Mu Qing closed his eyes slightly. He was not written into the Mu family tree, and no one even gave him a household registration, and if he died suddenly, no one would track him down.

Mu Qing didn't want to die.

No matter how it changes here, after all, it is a feudal dynasty that relies on the imperial examination, and studying for the imperial examination has become Mu Qing's only way out.

Suddenly hearing a sound, Mu Qing soothed his expression and closed his eyes, and the next moment, he felt that the curtain was gently opened. A person sat on the edge of his bed, closed the curtain, and then Mu Qing felt a cool breeze on his body.

Squinted his eyes slightly, but it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but Mu Qing still knew who this person was.

The faint fragrance that wafted with the wind, as if there was nothing, as if it was far and near, the ethereal smell of orchids, Annu had said that it was his favorite, and he had secretly picked some earlier today and put them in his bag.

Mu Qing curled the corners of his lips.

He's a man, but he's always been a man. Annu treats him well, he knows very well, if it weren't for his young age, the software is not matched with the hardware, and the hardware is not up to standard, this night is dark and windy, and he doesn't know what to do.

Suddenly spoke, and the voice that was still a little immature was a little quieter in the dark night: "Go to sleep, I'm not hot." ”

Annu, who was holding the fan, was startled: "Master? "In the past, I slept until dawn, why did I wake up today, isn't my body unhappy? An Nu hurriedly reached out to touch Mu Qing's forehead, but where could he touch it in the dark, it was directly covered by Mu Qing's mouth.

Mu Qing pulled down Annu's hand with some tears and laughter: "It's just that I can't sleep, don't think about it." ”

An Nu nodded, and then remembered that Mu Qing couldn't see it, so he spoke: "Got it." ”

"Can't Annu sleep too?"

Anu was about to say no, but her voice paused: "...... Well, it's hot. ”

"Let's talk." Mu Qing straightened up slightly and sat down beside Annu, "When did you come to the Mu family?" ”

"Four years ago, I was taken in by my lord."

"How did you get sent to me?" Mu Qing was a little curious, it is said that Annu is such a well-behaved and good-looking little girl, if he hadn't made a big mistake, he would not have been given up lightly, after all, his education level is limited now, and most of the people in the slave are illiterate, but Annu knows a lot of words, and he knows that he is also trained by looking at his usual walking, sitting and lying down.

But Mu Qing waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Anu speak.

Afraid that he really made a mistake, Mu Qing was about to speak, but he heard An Nu say: "The master is very good, and it is a blessing for me to be able to follow the master." ”

Mu Qing knew that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask, and passed with a smile.

Annu clenched her fists slightly in the dark, but immediately it was safe.
