"Nunu, this is the second prince and the third princess."

Back at the Lin Mansion, the slave suddenly saw many people hiding behind Lin Mu in fear, and his little eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Qing and Lin Yang's family.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a year, I didn't expect the slave to grow so big." Lin Qing sighed with emotion.

Lin Yang directly stretched out his hand and said to the slave: "Slave, I am the third princess, come over and let the princess hug me." ”

In her wandering life for more than a year, the slave developed the instinct of being extremely wary of the living, and seeing this, she hugged Lin Mu's legs tighter.

Lin Mu smiled, and he said to Lin Qing and Lin Yang: "Second uncle, third uncle, this kid is a little scared, and when he gets acquainted with it, he will naturally get close to you." “

"Clever children are all recognized, and the slave will definitely be a smart beauty in the future." A young man beside Lin Qing opened his mouth and said, his voice was clear, he was Lin Qing's eldest son Lin Qi.

When Lin Qing heard this, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, very satisfied with his son's performance, while Lin Yang glared at his eldest son Lin Feng, who was always speechless, and scolded: "Look at how much Lin Qi can speak, learn more." ”

"Oh." Lin Feng responded a little shyly, making Lin Yang scratch his head for a while.

This time, Lin Qing and Lin Yang returned to the Lin family compound, naturally their family followed, Lin Qi and Lin Feng were of the same age, they were almost fourteen years old, and this age was not small in the Hua Dynasty.

Therefore, Lin Qing and Lin Yang wanted them to learn some ways of doing business, and by the way, they would follow Lin Mu to learn Western studies, after all, King Duan now recognized Lin Mu as a servant, and his son followed Lin Mu, so he couldn't say that he would have a good future in the future.

"Hu Yi, Zhang Yang, Shan Hu, Xiao Ke."

Seeing slaves, Lin Qing and Lin Yang greeted the four of them, and when they were on the road, Lin Mu told them about Xiao Ke and the others, and the two sighed, and they no longer regarded them as ordinary servants in their hearts.

"Second master, third master." Xiao Ke and others also returned the salute, the atmosphere in the previous Lin family compound has always been peaceful, and Lin Qing and Lin Yang also treat their subordinates very well, just thinking that this is how Uncle Zhang will think of the two and talk about the good of the two.

When the old people saw each other, everyone seemed to have endless words, and it was not until the sunset that Lin Qing and Lin Yang reluctantly left.

When they went to Hexian, Zhang Yang rented two courtyards nearby for Lin Qing and Lin Yang to live in, and after arriving in Jiangning, Lin Mu's second and third aunts went to clean up first, and they came to the Lin family compound.

Seeing Lin Qing and Lin Yang away, Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid I will have to go to Duanwang's Mansion early tomorrow morning, and I don't have time to accompany the second and third uncles to familiarize themselves with the Lin family's industry, so this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes, young master." Uncle Zhang answered yes.

Let everyone go back, Lin Mu picked up the slave who had been sticking to him at this time and said, "Is the slave missing Daddy?" ”

"Yes." Nunu nodded affirmatively, "Nunu wanted to cry last night." ”

Xiao Ke echoed and said, "The slave fell asleep last night when I was tired of crying, I didn't expect the slave to like to stick to the young master so much." “

Lin Mu pinched the slave's pink and white face, he knew that he was the slave's only relative, and in the slave's eyes, he was probably her world.

"The slave is not small anymore, do you have to learn to be strong? In the future, Daddy may be very busy, and occasionally let Sister Xiaoke accompany you, don't be afraid, Daddy assures you that no matter what happens, Daddy will definitely come back to you. Lin Mu said to the slave seriously.

He took on the responsibility of the dad, but for him, the dad was not only to keep the slaves fed and clothed, but also to see the slaves living under the iron hooves of the Jin people like Xiao Ke and experiencing Xiao Ke's sorrow.

Because of this, he ruthlessly let the slave stay at home alone yesterday, which is also to exercise her ability to live independently.

"The slave knows, Sister Xiao Ke said that Daddy is a capable person and can do great things in the future." The slave's eyes were red, and although he was aggrieved, he still nodded his head a little affirmatively.

Lin Mu rubbed the slave's face again, and at this time took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his cuffs, "Look, what is this?" ”

"Delicious!" The slave immediately turned into a snack, and her eyes lit up, but she had never seen this candy before, and she didn't know what it was.

The white rabbit toffee that Lin Mu took out was all peeled off, and there was only a layer of white food clothes on the surface of the sugar, so he picked up a toffee and stuffed it into the slave's mouth.

The white rabbit toffee is soft and sweet, and it melts in the mouth, and the slave chews and dances happily, "Daddy, this is the best thing the slave has ever eaten." “

As she spoke, the slave snorted.

Lin Mu handed one to Xiao Ke and said, "Try it." “

"No, this thing looks very expensive, so let's leave it to the slaves." Xiao Ke is used to being thrifty.

Lin Muke didn't care, he directly stuffed a piece of candy into Xiao Ke's mouth, and ate one himself, and now the gluttonous worms in his stomach are about to make a revolution, and he has to steal something to appease them.

Tasting the taste of toffee, Xiao Ke couldn't help but show a look of surprise, she said: "This dessert is really unique, and it is delicious." “

"It's called toffee." Lin Mu spread out his hands, and the three of them sat on the bed, one by one, enjoying the sweetness of sugar and the warmth of being a family......

The next day, Lin Mu got up early, and it stands to reason that he should go to Duanwang's Mansion yesterday to thank Duanwang.

After a brief breakfast, he took Shan Hu out of the door, and walked two miles along the street in front of the door to a compound.

Forgetting to see the two unicorn beasts sitting in front of the gate of the compound, and then looking at the red vermilion lacquer gate, he stepped forward and showed his official card to the palace guards.

"Lin Shi, please." The guards led Lin Mu towards the palace of the Broken King.

In front of the palace study, the guards stopped, and Lin Mu came to the door and said, "Lin Mu see His Royal Highness King Duan." ”

Zhao Ji, who was in a daze with a map in the study, suddenly turned around in surprise when he heard this.

He walked out, pulled Lin Mu directly into the study, and said, "Lin Shi said, you are back, there is a big incident at the border." ”

"What His Highness said is that Ren Anyi, the Xuanfu envoy of Chuzhou, colluded with Zhang Yan to defect to the Chinese Dynasty." Lin Mu saw something strange in King Duan's nervous expression.

Duan Wang was surprised and said: "It turns out that Lin Shijiao already knows, and yes, Liufu Yin must have told you, since this is the case, what does Lin Shijiao think about this matter?" If the Jin soldiers go south, will they be able to hold Jiangning? ”

"Your Highness, is you afraid?" Lin Mu bluntly said that if King Duan was a coward, he would not bear it at all, so he didn't need to bother with it.

Zhao Ji glanced at Lin Mu, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "These years the Jin soldiers are a lingering nightmare in the Hua Dynasty, from the royal family to the common people, who doesn't talk about the Jin people's color change?" For more than 30 years, the Chinese Dynasty has relied on the annual tribute, to the Jin people to please the Jin people, if the Jin soldiers have the heart to destroy my Hua Dynasty, with the strength of the Jin soldiers, the northern army is difficult to resist, these are enough to make the king afraid, but the king will not run away because of this, swear to die with the country. ”

"His Royal Highness's will convinces the lower officials, but Jiang Ning can hold it, but he can't hold it." Lin Mu took a deep look at Zhao Ji, this boy who was three years younger than himself was not a coward.
