Wife Hua

Chapter 211 Father and Daughter
The carriage marking the mansion of Duke Mu was running unimpeded on the streets of the capital. Pedestrians or dignitaries on the road gave way one after another. Foreign envoys who came to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager saw the black and red flags on the carriage. Bow down and take off your hat in salute.

Mu Guogong gave birth to a major general who is like a god of war. He has never been defeated in battle with them. Although their country always loses, they have no honor and can only submit to the empire. The major general is the real culprit who caused everything, but they still admire him. The invincible, unstoppable major general.

The battle at Yumen Pass made them admire from the bottom of their hearts the major general who defeated the strong with the weak and broke the siege and turned defeat into victory.

It is precisely because of the existence of the wise major generals that they come to the empire to worship, and they dare not start wars easily.

The major general is still alive, so be cautious when fighting the empire.

Seeing that the envoy became uncharacteristically humble, the court officials who accompanied the envoy were relieved. These people were extremely difficult to deal with, and some of the princes demanded a lot and spoke arrogantly.

On that day, the emperor suggested that Shizi Mu be responsible for receiving foreign envoys, but the cabinet scholar declined the emperor's proposal on the grounds that the military general was not suitable, and the civil servants in charge of the reception suffered a lot in front of these envoys.

"I should really listen to the emperor." Some officials murmured in a low voice, "Look at them bowing to Mu Guogong's battle flag. Their humility is like three cups."

"You don't know that it is the emperor who changed his mind in the end. Now the emperor's edict, the cabinet scholars dare not return it easily."

The minister of rites is obviously closer to the center and well-informed. It is not because the cabinet scholar disagrees that the emperor changed his mind.

The person following the Minister of Rites whispered: "The emperor said that letting Mu Shizi receive the envoys, it seems that the empire attaches great importance to them. Mu Shizi is a general in the world and should not be used lightly."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites cast a sideways glance at the speaker. He is really a blind subordinate. This statement is considered to be the truth, can it be said in public?

It seemed that they had become insignificant people, and being together was not as important as Mu Shizi's face.

The official who spoke smacked his mouth and said with a dry laugh: "With Mr. Mu here, our backs are a bit tougher."

A group of officials in green robes and mending uniforms for a while removed their civil and military prejudices and nodded together. Today, when they met Mu Guogong's carriage, these rebellious envoys and princes must be able to be honest for a few days and successfully survive the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Let these princes go away.

Xungui, who avoided the carriage of Duke Mu’s mansion, felt proud at first when he saw the envoys of Fanbang saluting, then deeply felt the prestige of Prince Mu deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and finally thought of his son who was worthless at home, and sighed:
"Having a child should be like Mu Shizi. If the family's evildoers are as capable as Mu Shizi, I don't have to worry about having no successors anymore."

Although Mu Shizi's reputation was damaged by the incident in the capital academy, after all, he had outstanding military exploits and a reputation as thunderous. Most of the court believed that Mu Shizi's old wounds had not healed before he fought Mu Hua to a draw. In the eyes of noble ministers, Mu Shizi's status It has not fallen much, and is still the pillar of the country and the wall of the empire.

In the carriage, Mu Guogong did not show any joy because of being honored, but became more and more heavy and bitter. He leaned on the soft cushion with drooping eye bags, and picked up the scriptures he carried with him to recite silently.

The pages of the scriptures have been torn and frayed due to frequent flipping, and he has already memorized the scriptures backwards, but he still carries the scriptures with him, looks at the scriptures and recites, as if doing so can alleviate a little bit of sin and get rid of a bit of nightmare entanglement.

"Father, the liquor store is here."

The eldest son's calm voice came, Mu Guogong closed the scriptures, straightened his clothes and hat, and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again and got off the carriage, he was no longer as old as before, and was thin. His body is straight and straight, as calm as a mountain.

Mu Hua looked along the half-hanging curtain, except that Mu Guogong's temples were a bit bigger than his gray temples and bags under his eyes, the rest was the same as when he said goodbye to him at the end.

Maybe it's because the capital is not acclimatized, or the court battles have exhausted his energy, Mu Hua feels that his spirit is not very good, far less exuberant than she remembered.

In the past, he often called her to scold her, and he would lose his temper for the slightest thing, saying that she was not filial, that she had no heart, that she only listened to her mother's words, blindly obeyed her elder brother, but refused to support her concubine brother... At first she would explain a few words, but gradually found that he couldn't listen to the explanation at all, so she stopped wasting her words in vain.

He sat and muttered, and she stood straight in front of him, pretending to listen carefully, but in fact, she didn't listen to a word of his nagging.

There was a curtain blocking it, and Mu Hua was sitting again. Duke Mu could only glance at it roughly, but he was still amazed.

The girl is very beautiful, except for a little rough skin, her facial features are delicate, and when she grows up, with Mu Guogong's past experience, she can pat her chest to assure that Mu Hua must be a first-class beauty.

Mu Hua is not like her!

She is not as beautiful as Muhua.

Bitterness appeared on Mu Guogong's lips, what was he expecting?
If she came back to life, the first thing she would do was to plunge the sword deep into his chest, and watch him bleed and cry to death.

"Your sister should go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, free from dust, safe and joyful, the world of mortals cannot accommodate a clean and pure soul."

"……Father."

The eldest son's lips moved slightly, reminding him softly: "My sister and County Lord Jiamin are both in the mansion. Are you still in good spirits?"

Mu Guogong twitched the corners of his mouth, "I was confused, the princess Jiamin should be my daughter."

In the wine shop, Liu Sanlang glanced out and saw that it was Duke Mu coming in person, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "We all guessed wrong, Duke Mu thinks highly of us."

The corners of Mu Hua's lips curled up, "I think he is afraid that County Lord Jiamin and Mu Shizi will ruin the Mu family's heritage, and he wants to support his beloved eldest son."

It's not hard to hear the sarcasm in the raised ending sound, his promise is as unreliable as farting.

However, Mu Hua didn't feel as angry as before, instead she felt that Mu Guogong was interesting.

"Mu Bai?" Liu Sanlang naturally knew the status of Mu Guogong's heirs.

"Mu Bai, Mu Guodong."

Mu Hua dipped her fingers in the tea and wrote a line on the table: The pillars of the country, standing upright like cypresses, evergreen forever.

Put on Mu Guogong's ardent good wishes for his son.

"It is said that Mu Bai's mother dreamed that the setting sun was in her arms. When he was born, the flowers were fragrant and the sun was shining. People outside the mansion also saw the Buddha's light all over the sky, and a colorful beam of light descended from the sky."

"He is the first son of Duke Mu and has always been loved by him."

Liu Sanlang interrupted suddenly, and said: "Most of the auspicious omens like this are the birth of a prince, not even the birth of a prince or princess."

"Pfft." Mu Hua couldn't help laughing, "Even if someone reports back to the emperor, the emperor will laugh it off. The emperor doesn't believe in these auspicious omens."

ps Continue to ask for a monthly ticket, and change Mu Guogong's character design. There are too many complicated father roles in this article, but Mu Guogong is still more like an ordinary person, with the normal advantages and disadvantages of a normal man.
