Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1357 Burning Knife
Ying Baoyue nodded and followed behind him.

Mu You leaned on the ground with his cane, and walked towards an old house behind the house.

Looking at the direction in which the two left, Mu Qi knelt on the ground with a dazed expression, "Grandfather... actually took her to the study?"

The rules of the Mu family are not too many in the aristocratic family, and after living in seclusion, a lot of red tape has been saved.It's just that all the Mu family members know that there are two places in the whole mansion that you can't approach at will.

One is the main room where the family members discuss matters, and the other is the study room that my grandfather always likes to stay in.

After the death of the eldest son, Mu You led the clansmen to move here, and then passed the position of patriarch to the second son, no longer caring about trivial matters, and spent most of the day in the study.

Mu Youxi is quiet, especially likes to study the formation and astrology alone, and the juniors dare not disturb it.

Mu You doesn't want his children and grandchildren to be careful every morning and evening. His study has completely become a forbidden place in Mu's mansion. Only the children and grandchildren who are extremely favored will be called in once or twice. He went in once, but he was too nervous to see the furnishings inside. He only remembered that there were many books.

Even the youngest great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren in the family are not allowed to enter or leave this study at will, but this rule was broken by Xu Wenning's arrival half a year ago.

At the beginning, almost no Mu family took Mu Rongyin, a returning aunt, seriously, let alone Xu Wenning, an adopted daughter who had no blood relationship with the Mu family.

For a mere adopted daughter, at most one bite of food is enough to keep her from starving to death.

However, none of the Mu family members expected that Mu You not only accepted this unrelated granddaughter, but also doted on her so much that he only allowed Xu Wenning to enter and leave his study.

Mu Qi was not convinced at the time, but after actually getting along with him, he also understood Xu Wenning's specialness.

But why is this former Qin princess?
Not to mention a mere middle-level leader, even if it is a national teacher from a country, whether he will see or not depends on his grandfather's mood.

"What does grandfather want to tell her? What can a nun do?"

Mu Qi knelt on the ground and muttered softly.

Ji Jiashu stood beside him and frowned, but he was not in the mood to argue with this person at this moment, he just watched Ying Baoyue followed Mu You into the old house with worry.

The study door slammed shut.

Guichen and Guili stood beside Ji Jiashu, looking at the closed door in the distance, feeling a little complicated.

"Is that the grandfather?" Gui Li asked softly, his voice a little lost.

"I haven't seen it either, but it should be." Gui Chen nodded calmly, his eyes were slightly dim but calm as before.

He knew why Gui Li was depressed because just now Mu You walked over but didn't look at them.

"Grandfather...doesn't he like us?" Gui Li bit his lip.

Gui Chen smiled wryly, "I'm afraid it's because we don't know our appearance at all."

Before picking up Ying Baoyue, their mother had almost lost contact with their natal family, and their grandfather had never seen them since they were born.

Besides, even if I have seen it, I am afraid it is no different.

Hearing the hustle and bustle in the backyard faintly, Gui Chen concentrated on the fact that the Mu family is indeed full of descendants as Ying Baoyue said. With so many descendants, I am afraid that only the best ones will be able to catch Mu You's eyes.

For example, this Young Master Mu Qi who was kneeling on the ground was already in the Divine Dance Realm at a young age.

Although he was punished by Mu You in public, Gui Chen felt that the Seventh Young Master Mu should have some weight in the eyes of his grandfather.

As an outsider, Gui Chen doesn't expect to be favored, what he cares about is why Mu You asked Ying Baoyue to go alone?

Ying Baoyue came here this time to borrow troops from the Mu family. Although she is a former Qin princess, Mu You has been out of the world for a long time. Can she really persuade him?
At this time Mu Qi was still muttering.

"Take it to the study, can she understand books?"

Even if she knows how to wield knives and guns, compared with the young masters who grew up learning about the world in elementary school, this former Qin princess probably knew a lot about needlework since elementary school. I am afraid she didn't even know a few big characters, let alone read The saint is classic.

Just such a female family member, but the grandfather took her to the study room that looked like a holy place in the hearts of the Mu family. Thinking that the two of them were probably still talking at the side of countless sage books, Mu You felt an unknown anger in his heart.

However, what happened in the study at this time has nothing to do with what Mu Qi imagined.

The two people in the study were not reading books, and what they were doing was far from the classics of saints.

When Mu You walked into the study, he lost his crutches, and his legs and feet became extremely strong. Ying Baoyue followed him in, but he didn't greet her. He just walked straight forward and disappeared behind a pile of books in an instant.

Ying Baoyue closed the door, stood in the middle of the study and looked at the room.

This room is worthy of the name of a study, indeed there are books and bamboo slips piled up everywhere.But the books are not placed on the bookshelves, but stacked together with the bamboo slips on the ground. There is no other furnishings in the house. These stacks of books are like pillars supporting the beams of the house to separate each space.

At this time, Mu You's figure appeared behind a pile of books.

"Give you."

A dark and water-sprinkled figure flew over in the air while spinning.

Ying Baoyue turned around to catch it. Seeing the heavy jar in her arms, she laughed.

This is a jar full of wine.

The wine jar has been opened, and the aroma of the wine rushes out of it like an arrow, it is so strong and strong that one smells it and makes one intoxicated.

A full urn weighs three catties.

Seeing Ying Baoyue catch the wine jar, Mu You reached out and picked out another one from behind the pile of books.

He slapped off the sealing mud on it with one palm, and held up a full altar to Ying Baoyue.

Ying Baoyue also raised the wine jar.

The two stood facing each other in the study, without speaking, they picked up the wine jar and drank heavily.

The crystal clear wine flowed down from the young girl's chin and the old man's beard. The wine was so strong that it seemed to burn the fire from the throat to the stomach and spread to the whole body.

"happy!"

"This wine is very strong."

Ying Baoyue drank one-third of it in one gulp, coughed chokingly, and looked up at Mu You, who was also coughing and flushed, and the two suddenly burst out laughing.

Ying Baoyue sat down on the ground with the wine jar in his hands, and looked at Mu You who was also lying on the pile of books, "Is it a burning knife?"

"That's right." Mu You patted the wine jar, "I had someone buy it from the north, but unfortunately it's still not as strong as the ones we drank in the north 25 years ago."

"That's because the wind here isn't cold enough."

Ying Baoyue looked at the dark wine jar in his hand, lifted it up and took another sip.

"How can you have fun without drinking with the north wind?"

"That's true," Mu You stroked the wine jar at hand, and looked at the strange girl in front of her.

"It's not strong enough for people to drink without acquaintance."

Ying Baoyue raised her head and stared fixedly at the old man holding the wine jar.

"Then you, do you want to have another drink with me in the north?"
