stormy clouds

When Mu Jingyi came back, Mrs. Mu was already waiting in his room ahead of time.

He was a little surprised, "Mother, it's so late, you have something to do."

Mrs. Mu glanced at him, and said slowly, "Jing Yi, I know that you have suffered a lot for waiting for the residence.

So as long as you are happy, my mother is willing to rely on you for anything. "

She looked at Mu Jingyi lovingly, and when her eyes touched the faint black halo under her son's eyes, she suddenly felt a sore nose.

"Mother, just say what you have to say." Mu Jingyi stood respectfully in front of Mrs. Mu.

Ever since his father passed away, his mother has been so careful with him, for fear of accidentally touching his reverse scales.

Although he has become calm and serious now, only he knows how much he misses his mother's sternness and kindness in the past.

Madam Mu was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Today, I was going to Longquan Temple to ask the Jingkong host to watch for a day, so that I can go to Chang's house to make an appointment.

But what I didn't expect was that when I passed the market, I saw a scene that made people laugh and cry. "

"What's so funny? Listen to what mother said, so that the child will be happy too."

"This incident is not funny, it's just because it's so unimaginable, it makes my mother feel a little bit dumbfounded." Mrs. Mu told what happened in front of Yuanlai Inn today, "Jing Yi, tell me, I'd rather not laugh when encountering such a thing." How to get to Longquan Temple."

"So mother came back?" Mu Jingyi asked lightly.

"You think mother shouldn't come back? It shouldn't have happened in the Chang family anyway. "

"My mother was talking about Miss Pei and Miss Chang Wu, but I married Miss Chang Fourth."

"They are a family, what's the difference?" Mrs. Mu said, "If everyone cleans the door by themselves, how can a family become stronger?

Yi'er, the Hou Mansion is not only marrying your wife, she must also be the clan's wife.Just because Miss Chang Si watched her aunt and younger sister in distress but stood by, she was not suitable to be the clan wife of the Hou Mansion.

What's more, it's not certain whether she deserves the credit for this matter itself. "

"Mother is serious, Fourth Miss is not that kind of person." Mu Jingyi's expression was indifferent.

"I don't know whether it's serious or not, but the Chang family's family style is indeed problematic, so how dare I let a daughter from such a family be the clan wife of the Hou's mansion.

If you really can't let go, then you can let her be the flat wife and Lian'er the housekeeper. "

Mu Jingyi pursed his lips, his gaze was unclear, "So I said so much, is it because of Lianzhen?"

"I'm not doing it for Lianzhen." Madam Mu was a little annoyed that her son didn't understand his painstaking efforts, "If it wasn't for the Chang family's incident today, maybe I would have begged back for you when the Chang family was hired.

I am for you and the entire Houfu. "Mrs. Mu spoke earnestly.

"I don't like Lianzhen. If my mother insists on letting her in, I can only treat her as my younger sister."

Madam Mu became angry for a moment, she looked at her son's straight shoulders and sharp-edged face, wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Mu said, "You don't want Lian Zhen to come in, so you can tell my mother, which girl do you like, and my mother can help you find it. disagree."

Mu Jingyi looked at Mrs. Mu, and said calmly for a long time, "Then mother doesn't have to worry about my marriage. The child will enter the palace in two days and beg His Majesty to let me continue to guard the border."

Madam Mu was dumbfounded. After a long time, she smiled miserably, "Okay, okay, when my son grows up, he will threaten to be his mother."

Mu Jingyi lowered his head and didn't speak.

Madam Mu suddenly smiled, "I remember when you were just born, you were only this big." She gestured with her hand, her voice was a little hoarse, "Your father said to let you practice martial arts, but I am reluctant.

It's hard to practice martial arts, but I can't beat your father, and you also like martial arts very much, so you compromised for your mother.

How do you know that the consequence of practicing martial arts is that when you grow up, it will be difficult for your mother to see you, so you can only stay in this Nuoda courtyard, worrying about you every day.

Every time you win a battle, others are happy, only I am concerned about whether you are injured or not, and whether you have added new wounds on your body.

I look forward to your return all day long, but what if you come back?In less than a month, you said that you were going to guard the border again. You were stabbing your mother's heart with a knife! Madam Mu wiped the corner of her eyes.

Mu Jingyi was slightly moved, "Mother, I don't mean that, I have been guarding the border for many years, and I am withdrawn by nature, if I marry a lady from a family, she will definitely be dissatisfied with my habits.

Fourth Miss Chang was abandoned by Chang's family and grew up in Zhuangzi. She has a tough personality and doesn't care about trivial matters. The child feels that marrying her will be more at ease. "

Mrs. Mu said: "But she"

"Even though Mrs. Pei is her aunt, she has never raised her for a single day, and Miss Chang Wu also embarrasses her everywhere.

What's more." Mu Jingyi paused, "Miss Chang Si's mother died strangely, how did you make her get close to the Chang family. "

"If that's the case, she also has some unavoidable difficulties, but the Chang family's family style is really not flattering. Wouldn't it be better for your mother to tell you a girl with a clean family background and a good education." Madam Mu's face softened a little.

"Mother, have you forgotten how my father died? Do you really believe that he died for the country?"

Mu Jingyi's tone was serious, "With [-] generals against [-] enemies, we fought hard for six days and seven nights, but the reinforcements have not arrived. Mother really believes that the reinforcements really lost their way?"

Madam Mu: "."

"After the death of my father, the Hou Mansion has been plunged into dire straits. How can we tell who is the enemy and who is the friend?
If one day, I encounter the same accident as my father, I would like to ask my mother, can a lady with a good family education help the Houfu to tide over the difficulties or grow up in the countryside, and the brave and resourceful Miss Chang Si can lead the Houfu through the disaster ? "

Mrs. Mu was dumbfounded.She was born in a scholarly family. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but lacks courage alone.

When the old Hou Ye passed away, she was so sad that she just wanted to follow the Hou Ye when she heard the news, and she couldn't care about the rest of the things.

At that time, although Jing Yi was young, he carried all the burdens on his body.If it weren't for him, how could the Changping Marquis Mansion still have the glory it has today.

"Mother, you only see the singing and dancing in the city of Lindu, but do you know that many refugees at the border have become bandits because of lack of food?

There are so many people in Lindu, and everyone only knows that there are piles of brocades and extravagant luxury. Who would have thought that if all the people of Qi State went to produce brocades, what would these people eat if the country was in turmoil? "

Madam Mu lives in the prosperous and stable Lindu. Although her husband died in the battle, she has never even been out of Lindu from the beginning to the end. How could she know the cruelty of the battlefield.

"Could it be that Fourth Miss Chang knows?" Mrs. Mu asked.

"The fourth girl started hoarding food when she was in Qingzhou. Her sensitivity is not inferior to that of the boy." Mu Jingyi's lips slightly raised, "Mother, the boy needs more than just a wife."

Madam Mu fell into deep thought.
