"Big brother, are you really here?"

When Mu Qiuhuang heard the voice, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still stood up and greeted, "Second brother." ”

I saw Mu Qiulin walking towards this side alone, holding a food box in his left hand and two wine jugs in his right hand.

Mu Qiulin shouted at Mu Qiuhuang: "Big brother, come and help." ”

While speaking, Mu Qiulin had already arrived in front of Mu Qiuhuang, seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was unmoved, Mu Qiulin didn't mind, pulled the dim sum on the table aside, and said while taking the vegetables out of the food box: "These small dishes are made by my mother herself, they are all your favorite food, these two pots of wine were stolen by me in the wine cellar, I heard that they were all imperial wine given to my father by the first emperor......"

Seeing Mu Qiulin's behavior like this, Mu Qiuhuang was a little unclear.

……

When Princess Changling first married into the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, she was also deliberately close to Mu Qiuhuang. But although Mu Qiuhuang was young at the time, he also had memories and knew that the person in front of him was not his biological mother, no matter how Princess Changling took care of her, it was still difficult to give birth to closeness. Later, Mu Qiulin was born, and Princess Changling's concern for Mu Qiuhuang was still the same, not only did it not decrease at all, but she treated him a little better than her own son. But despite Princess Changling's dedication, Mu Qiuhuang was still unmoved.

Compared with Princess Changling's careful care, Mu Qingen, her biological father, seemed a little incompetent. In addition to making Mu Qiuhuang the son of the world, he didn't care about anything else, and even when Mu Qiuhuang was seven years old, despite everyone's opposition and plea, Mu Qiuhuang was thrown into the barracks alone, except for allowing Mu Qiuhuang to return to the Hou Mansion for a few days on Chinese New Year's Eve, the rest of the time was not even allowed to return to the Hou Mansion.

Mu Qiuhuang is more than four years older than Mu Qiulin, and both of them are young and precocious.

When Mu Qiulin was young, he also had a little admiration for this eldest brother who entered the military camp at the age of seven, but as he grew older and knew some of the deeds of the previous generation, his attitude towards Mu Qiuhuang also had a few different meanings.

Mu Qiuhuang was not close to this younger brother from the beginning, he always felt that this younger brother was too precocious, and he was not at all the childlike nature that should be at this age, so his attitude towards this second brother has always been lukewarm.

To talk about the relationship between these two brothers, it can only be described as "subtle".

In previous years, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve, when Mu Qiuhuang returned to the Hou Mansion, the two would meet, and the rest of the time did not have much intersection. Although the relationship between the two is not as close as that of brothers in other princes' mansions, it is far less intimate than that between brothers in ordinary people's homes. Like Mu Qiulin's affectionate behavior today, it is really rare.

"What is the eldest brother still stunned about? Sit down and drink! Mu Qiulin beckoned to Mu Qiuhuang, and casually pulled over the stone bench on the side and sat down.

"You're looking for me for a drink?" Mu Qiuhuang wondered.

"Or else? In previous years, when you went back to the house, you could drink with your father, but my father always used my young age as an excuse to forbid me to drink. And now, I'm past my father's age, so it's only natural that I'll have to compare the amount of wine with you. Mu Qiulin had already filled the two wine cups as he spoke, picked up a glass and handed it to Mu Qiuhuang.

Mu Qiuhuang was slightly stunned, but still took the wine glass and sat on the rattan chair.

"Big brother, eat the vegetables! These are all made for you by my mother, and if you don't eat them, I will eat them all. Mu Qiulin's mouth was stuffed with wine and food, and he said vaguely.

Mu Qiuhuang stared at Mu Qiulin carefully, but saw that Mu Qiulin's eyes were sincere, his face was slightly drunk, and some of them just secretly drank his father's hidden wine and secretly rejoiced.

Although Mu Qiuhuang didn't know why Mu Qiulin was doing this time? But he didn't ask, and he didn't refuse in the face of Mu Qiulin's persuasion, and the wine was empty.

After the three rounds of wine and the five flavors, Mu Qiulin wiped his mouth and said, "Happy!" It's a pleasure! ”

He gave Mu Qiuhuang a thumbs up and praised: "Big brother, you are so powerful, I am drunk, but you still don't change your face, you are amazing." ”

Facing Mu Qiulin's praise, Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly and did not answer.

Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was indifferent, Mu Qiulin sighed and muttered to himself: "Speaking of which, this is the first time our brothers have drunk!" In previous years, you didn't stay much in the house, and I didn't have a chance to drink with you. ”

"Isn't it? I have been abolished now, and I will have more opportunities in the future. Mu Qiuhuang said as usual.

Mu Qiulin's face darkened and he said angrily: "This damn thief is really bold, if I catch him in the future, I will definitely skin him and cramp for you to let out this evil breath for your eldest brother." Don't worry, big brother, I believe there will be a way to cure you. ”

Mu Qiuhuang stared at Mu Qiulin carefully, and saw that his face was sincere, and he was not half-fake. Xin muttered, "Isn't it really you?" Then after thinking that person was a sword immortal, he confirmed that Mu Qiulin really didn't have the ability to invite a figure of the level of a sword immortal, and recognized this idea. ”

"Big brother, in fact, I have something to ask you." Mu Qiulin's face twisted.

"What's the matter? Go ahead! ”

Mu Qiuhuang said in his heart: "It's finally here." ”

Mu Qiulin poured Mu Qiuhuang another glass of wine and said, "Big brother, I want to go to the barracks." ”

"Then you go to your father and say, you know that I can't be the master of this matter!"

Mu Qiulin took the wine glass and drank it all, and said disappointedly: "If my father agrees, do I still need to beg you?" ”

Mu Qiulin continued: "I always wanted to be a soldier like my eldest brother, but before I begged my father, my father thought I was young, and then when I begged my father, my father said that he was old and wanted me to share government affairs for him......"

Mu Qiulin sighed and continued: "But governing Yunzhou City is really boring. ”

"It's better than this!" Mu Qiulin looked at Mu Qiuhuang expectantly.

"This time the eldest brother was injured, so it is naturally not suitable to go to the military camp again, it is better for the two of us to change like this, and in the future, the eldest brother will stay in Yunzhou to help my father deal with government affairs, and I will go to the military camp to hone and hone."

Mu Qiuhuang stared at Mu Qiulin for a long time, and asked, "Did you tell your father about this idea this time?" ”

"I said it, but my father didn't agree!" Mu Qiulin said in frustration.

"Does that auntie know?" Mu Qiuhuang asked casually.

Mu Qiulin said helplessly: "I begged my mother, but she said that she couldn't be the master of these things, so let me beg my father myself."

Mu Qiuhuang remembered that when Princess Changling married into the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, some people came to pay their respects. Later, after Mu Qiulin was born, some old people in the house once said to Mu Qingen that Princess Changling would be corrected and abolish his position as the son, and counted the pros and cons in detail. Now, these people who spoke at that time have long been buried in the loess, and as for whether it is a normal death or an unnatural death, I am afraid that only the person concerned knows. And after Princess Changling was sent to the military camp by Mu Qingen, she also began to see her ministers, and took care of the Hou Mansion for Mu Qingen wholeheartedly.

Of course, these things are extremely secretive, and even Mu Qiulin doesn't know about them.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Mu Qiulin and then at the table full of wine and food, nodded and agreed: "Okay, if I have the chance, I will tell my father for you and let him let you go to the barracks." ”

"Really? Big brother, you are so good to me! ”

Seeing Mu Qiuhuang agree, Mu Qiulin was full of joy.

"Good! You two actually steal wine and drink? A slightly immature, but crisp voice like the call of a lark came.
