Today's He Mansion is extraordinarily brightly lit, and even He Jinyang, who has always been unsmiling, has a faint smile on his face, and changes into a red robe.

Not to mention Yu Ru on the side, a tight long skirt with a small sky blue coat, swaying when she walks, which is particularly charming.

Only He Nuo on the side cried with a sad face, looking at the guests coming and going, although he is the protagonist today.

The customs here in Jinyang are not only to celebrate the birthday of the elderly, but also to celebrate the birthday of the children, and the full moon wine must be placed, in addition, the most important thing is the fourteenth birthday, because once the age of fourteen is reached, even if it is a young man, even the minimum age limit for military recruitment is fourteen years old.

Today, He Nuo's fourteenth birthday, he knows that after today, he has truly become a man.

Although Yu Ru kept smiling throughout the scene, she knew that although there were many guests today, the real heavyweight guests did not come at all, her maiden Yu family sent some congratulatory gifts, but her elder brothers and younger brothers were not present in person, a few days ago when the eighth prince He Qingping was fourteen years old, the entire Jinyang City was lively all day, Ning Xianghou personally presided over it, and all the high-ranking officials of the imperial court were present.

Yu Ru looked around and found that Lu Chuanlin, the right attendant of the military department with the largest official position present today, thought to himself, "Jin Yang is too straight, and he doesn't have any friends above." ”

He Jinyang knew that things were not so simple, thinking of those old things, he pressed heavily on his heart, he turned around and sighed deeply.

He Nuo didn't look at these guests at all, he just felt that he had been punished for his birthday and stood at the door for a whole day, which was really boring, he made an appointment to go out with Mu Yanxi and the Meng family brothers and sisters at night, and I was afraid that I would miss the appointment when I saw this posture.

"Mu Xiangye has arrived!"

The voice of the master of ceremonies at the door suddenly became a little louder, and the conversation of the guests present stopped instantly, and only a small discussion sounded.

"Mu Xiangye...... was actually invited, the He family has a big face! ”

"I heard that Mu Xiangye never participated in other people's birthday banquets, and last time he almost alarmed the birthday banquet of He Qingping, the eighth prince of Jinyang City, Mu Xiangye only gave a gift, and he was not present in person."

"You know what... I heard that Mu Xiangye's granddaughter and the kid of the He family are very close, maybe he came to see his grandson-in-law. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, don't you know that the girl of the Mu family already has a marriage contract?"

The last sentence was said by a low-level captain from the Flying Eagle Guard, and as soon as he said this, he knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly stopped.

But although the voice was soft, it was too sensitive, and it was heard by several people around him, and they all discussed:

"What marriage contract?" "Engagement!" "The girl of the Mu family has a marriage contract?"

The lieutenant waved his hand, kept his mouth shut, and refused to say another word.

Others asked in a hurry, and he hurriedly said, "It was set by Mu Xiangye himself... This is what our brother of the Flying Eagle Guard secretly found, and if he didn't announce it, it means that he doesn't want people to know, don't ask, knowing too much may not be a good thing. Then he hurriedly took a long sip of wine and fooled around.

Here, He Jinyang's family came forward to greet him in person, and He Jinyang said with a smile, "Mu Xiangye came today, and Jinyang understood what it means to be prosperous." ”

Yu Ru bowed down to perform the blessing salute, and her posture was elegant and decent.

He Nuo knew that this was Mu Yanxi's grandfather, and immediately shouted, "Hello Grandpa Mu." ”

Hearing He Nuo say this, Mu Baichuan seemed very happy, touched He Nuo's head, and sighed, "It's so big." ”

Yu Ru suddenly thought, "Have they seen each other before?" ”

He Jinyang hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, "Master Mu, please come in." ”

Under the guidance of everyone, Mu Baichuan walked into the living room, in the impression of everyone, he seemed to be the first time to come, but he was very familiar with the layout of the room, and walked to the realistic painting in the corner of the wall, and looked at it for a long time.

"Why didn't Yanxi come over?"

After everyone sat down, He Nuo asked directly.

"She seems to have made a few new friends, and when she said she was going out to do something in the afternoon, I asked her what was the matter, and she smiled and didn't say."

Hearing this, He Nuo was a little disappointed, and thought, "Yanxi has a new friend again." ”

However, Mu Baichuan's next move made He Nuo quickly withdraw from his contemplation, and he personally took out an ancient jade and put it around He Nuo's neck.

Seeing this ancient jade, He Jinyang's face changed greatly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Is that ancient jade?!" ”

Mu Baichuan stared at He Jinyang's face carefully, "Of course not... That one has long been lost, and this ancient jade was given by an old man many years ago. ”

He Jinyang hurriedly waved his hand, "Such a precious thing can't be used." ”

Mu Baichuan went straight to help He Nuo bring it, and said, "This is not our Mu family's thing, it is a gift from the old people, and our Mu family has another one." Now...... It can only be said that the thing is returned to its original owner. ”

He Nuo held the ancient jade in his hand, and it was cold in his body, but after holding it for a long time, he could feel a faint warmth, he knew that jade was human, and when He Nuo held the jade, it was as if this jade was his old friend for many years, he looked at the jade body carefully, engraved with a dragon on one side, and a small word on the other: wind.

Mu Baichuan saw He Nuo's expression and actions, thoughtfully, and continued: "If the old man's estimate is correct, there are eight pieces of this kind of jade: water, fire, wind and thunder, wood, stone, gold and earth, your jade has a wind character written on it, and our Mu family's jade has a water character written on it. ”

"What does that mean?" He Nuo asked.

"Then the old man doesn't know." Mu Baichuan shook his head and said.

However, He Nuo muttered in his heart that this old man must know, but he didn't want to say it.

But seeing all this, Yu Ru, who hadn't spoken for a long time, became a little ugly on her face, but it seemed that there was a guest here, and she kept clenching her teeth and didn't have a seizure.

Mu Baichuan seemed to expect that Yu Ru might have such a reaction, and said lightly, "The rumors are not necessarily true, and it is not easy for Jin Yang, when the right opportunity comes, he will tell you." ”

Mu Baichuan's voice was soft, but under the magnetic voice, there was a thick persuasiveness, Yu Ru bit her lip lightly, nodded, and stopped talking.

He Nuo was like a second monk who was confused.

Mu Baichuan stepped forward and patted He Nuo's shoulder gently, and said softly: "It's not easy for your parents, Nuo'er, grow up quickly, and after speaking, he glanced at the painting on the wall again." ”

He Nuo noticed that Mu Baichuan was such a steady person, and his hands actually trembled slightly.

Mu Baichuan thought for a moment, and finally shook his hand, seemed to have made up his mind, and said to He Nuo, "Come to my house tomorrow, I have something to say to you." ”

He Nuo glanced at his parents.

Yu Ru seemed to be still in a daze, but He Jinyang nodded vigorously, "Thank you Grandpa Mu soon." ”

He Nuo said obediently, "Thank you, Grandpa Mu!" He added, "Thank you Grandpa Mu for the birthday gift." ”

Mu Baichuan said with a smile, "Sometimes there must be in life." Then he nodded at He Jinyang and strode away.

He Nuo's family all had their own concerns, and no one spoke for a while.

Suddenly, a member of the He family who was familiar with He Nuo hurriedly ran into the hall and whispered in He Nuo's ear, "Oh no, no, young master, Miss Yanxi is about to jump off the cliff." ”

Hearing this, He Nuoden's heart beat suddenly, he just heard that she had made a new friend, what did she not think about?

I couldn't care about it anymore, shouted to my parents, "I'm out", and regardless of his father's drinking, he hurriedly ran to Yannuo Mountain outside Jinyang City, He Nuo wondered why he didn't even ask where she was, and subconsciously ran there, he suddenly had a funny thought inexplicably: Mu Yanxi will only jump there even if he jumps off the cliff.
