Mu Zhengyi liked the gifts given by his younger siblings very much, and after figuring out how to use this "backpack", he obviously liked it more, and he didn't dislike the crooked handiwork of his younger siblings at all.

However, Mu Qingyi and Mu Hongshang still deliberately covered up the new cloth, not wanting their brother to discover their manual progress.

After Mu Zhengyi took his mother and younger siblings out of his courtyard, the entire Anguo Mansion seemed to wake up with him, and Zheng Mu Zhengyi walked two steps and saw a servant with a beaming face, greeting him with a hundred times the spirit.

As soon as Mrs. Mu saw Mu Zhengyi approaching her yard, she hurriedly stood up and actively ordered: "Quick, Zhengyi must be hungry, let people serve snacks." ”

"Mother," Duchess An Guo also stood up with a smile: "Why don't you go directly to the Zhengrong Pavilion?" The reception banquet has been set, just waiting for Zhengyi to wake up. ”

"Then let's go," Mrs. Mu waved her hand with a high chest: "Go to Zhengrong Pavilion, wash your clothes today, and make a fuss until you are in the school."

Mu Zhengyi's dust washing banquet was noisy until the end of the hour, and even Mrs. Mu slept late on this day, everyone drank wine, and they were all smoky and excited.

After Mu Hongshang returned to the room, she washed and removed her hair, and when she went to bed, it was already two o'clock. Her brothers and brothers didn't go to bed earlier than her, and when she lay down, she thought in a daze, "Don't be too late, it's bad if you're late for class......

However, in fact, Mu Hongshang was completely worried in vain, because early in the morning of the second day, her eldest brother Mu Zhengyi appeared in her yard on time and came to catch her up.

"Red clothes," Mu Zhengyi's smiling voice came into the room through the door: "Lazy pig, I'm going to be late for morning class!" The letter also bragged, helping to stare at the brocade clothes and get up to practice every day, but even you yourself were in bed. ”

"I didn't!" Mu Hongshang immediately bounced up from the bed, lotus leaves and water chestnuts hurriedly came over to clean up for her, hurriedly dressed, and didn't have time to comb her hair, so she had to hang a ponytail behind her head.

"Didn't you sleep late yesterday!" Mu Hongsheng pushed open the door of the house with some annoyance, and walked to Mu Zhengyi's side with her head drooping: "Why is the eldest brother still so early." In the past, you were the first to get up when you were at home, and when we went to the martial arts field for morning classes, you had already practiced a set of kung fu. ”

"Originally, I thought I was diligent enough," Mu Zhengyi replied with a smile: "But when I arrived at the border pass, I realized that we, the young master soldiers who grew up in the capital, were still too far behind." ”

"Young Master Soldier?" Mu Hongshang looked a little surprised: "Will someone look at you like this?" You are the Mu family! Isn't it true that the Mu family will respond to the call in the north? ”

"Every call is answered, and it is all earned by one's own ability," Mu Zhengyi touched his sister's brain: "Where do you think the prestige of our Mu family came from, and it is not earned by generations of Mu generals relying on their real skills." General Muhammad did not lead the troops to oppress people with power, we relied on our own skills to convince the northern sergeants. ”

"That's ......" Mu Hongshang looked at her brother, feeling a little hard to imagine how hard her brothers were living in the north.

"What do you do to put on this look," Mu Zhengyi bent down and smiled and nodded the tip of his sister's nose: "My red clothes don't need to be like this." As long as you are happy all the time, your brothers will be at ease. ”

Mu Hongshang smiled and nodded, and didn't ask why Mu Zhengyi would come early in the morning to pull her, a girl who didn't need to practice, to do the morning class.

None of these things need to be understood. Mu Zhengyi knew that Mu Hongshang didn't need to work so hard, she was really just a backhouse sister, she got up early every time, in addition to liking martial arts, to a greater extent, because she wanted to spend more time with her brothers.

So he went to his sister's yard early in the morning to wake her up, and then went with her to call his brother Mu Jinyi.

"Jinyi has been staring at me these days," Mu Hongsheng smiled and said: "I want him to be like the eldest brother back then, he can arrive at the martial arts field two quarters of an hour earlier, and he can practice more sets of kung fu every day, so I call him in advance every day." ”

"There are red clothes at home, the eldest brother is very relieved," Mu Zhengyi smiled and took his sister's hand.

"Big brother," Mu Hongsheng remembered the question that she had been holding back yesterday: "Didn't you come back with a letter before, set off at the end of April, and you can get home in mid-May?" Why is it so late, the second uncle and mother are very worried, and every day they have to send someone to wait for you at the corner of the street, and sometimes they have to send the uncle who is on an errand in the front yard to inquire about the news at the city gate. ”

"I could have left at least the beginning of May," Mu replied, his tone flat, as if describing an inconsequential matter: "The luggage has already been packed." But I didn't expect that a team of people who repaired the city defense were arrested by the Rongdi people when they went to the river to transport sand, and my father sent me to lead the troops out of the city to stop the Rongdi people. They escorted the people in the direction of the grassland, and the speed was very fast, and we made a lot of effort to intercept them, so we delayed. ”

Although Mu Hongshang is a child of the general's family, after all, he has never been to the border, nor has he really seen the war, so he naturally does not know how much blood and rain there is in Mu Zhengyi's faint words. She just asked with a little curiosity: "What are the Rong Di people doing to catch people?" ”

"Be a slave," Mu Zhengyi replied, "Most of the people are mature craftsmen, and the Rongdi people live as nomads, except for herding, they are not very good at anything else, so they often rob the common people in the north to go to Rongdi as slaves." If those craftsmen who know some skills such as iron smelting, pottery, and carpentry, they may be able to live well after being captured and returned to the tribe, and they may be rewarded with a Rongdi woman to start a family and have children, as long as they are willing to work honestly. ”

"Oh!" Mu Hongsheng nodded: "That's okay, I thought they would kill us directly when they saw us." ”

"But it's true." Mu Zhengyi nodded: "It is common for the Rongdi people to harass the border, they loot the village, and they don't arrest people every time, sometimes they slaughter the village. If it's too late, the man will be killed first. ”

"It's hard to live in the North." Mu Hongshang sighed: "Why don't the people in the north move to the south of Jueyu Mountain? Or Qinfeng Road to the west is also very good. ”

"Sister, that's true." Mu Qingyi came out of nowhere, and caught up with his brother and sister with a smile: "No matter where you live, survival is the most important thing." Think about it, if so many people move to another place, and lose the land they have cultivated for generations, how will they make ends meet? Is it possible to make them homeless? Outside the northern borders, there is plenty of land to house these people, but what state capital has enough free land to house these people? ”
