The second, third and fourth masters of the Mu family at the border pass, as well as the eldest young master Mu Zhengyi, all wrote letters back, more than a dozen letters, a thick stack, some to the mother, some to the wife, and some to the children.

The letter to the back house naturally didn't write anything important, and the Mu family's men in the border pass only talked about the life and customs of the border pass, in order to reassure the mother and wife at home, everything was naturally fine in the letter.

Mu Zhengyi's letter was particularly verbose, he followed his father to the border last year, and a year later, he was already a qualified pacification envoy. In the year when Mu Zhengyi left Beijing to go to Yanzhou, the wind and rain were smooth, the water and grass on the Rongdi side were abundant, the cattle and sheep were herds, the nineteen tribes were considered to be peaceful, the northern border pass was relatively calm, and there were no large-scale wars, at most small-scale border conflicts.

But Mu Zhengyi is not the kind of young master soldier who rushes to earn his future resume and goes to the border to mix qualifications, he is the Mu family, the Mu family general who has guarded the northern border for the Great Zhou Dynasty for generations.

As a northern general who can be alone in the future, Mu Zhengyi's border life is much harder than others, and most of the year is personally led by Mu Chengfang, the second master of the Mu family, to learn military affairs and patrol the border.

Throughout the year, there were six small-scale military conflicts near Yanzhou, and Mu Chengfang did not leave Mu Zhengyi behind any of the troops in order to temper his son.

Mu Zhengyi is the real Mu family, and in this year, he has grown extremely fast and has become a qualified border soldier. Although the border is hard, others may not be able to endure it, but the Mu family will not be unable to endure it, and they cannot endure it, Mu Zhengyi feels that there is nothing he can't adapt to, but he misses his grandmother, mother and younger siblings at home very much.

Because he missed his family, the letters brought by Mu Zhengyi were particularly chattering, each of which was a thick stack, sealed in a huge envelope, with the recipient's name and surname carefully written on it.

An Guogong one, Mrs. Mu Lao, Mu Zhengyi's mother-in-law Mu Second Lady one, Tie Yi and Chi Yi brothers one, the rest of the brothers one, and Mu Hongshang one.

When Mu Zhengyi's thick stack of letters was taken out, Second Mrs. Mu smiled first, but her eyes were filled with tears when she smiled. As if to cover up, Second Mrs. Mu lowered her head, hurriedly divided the letter according to the name on the envelope, and said with a smile: "Zhengyi, this child, when he arrives at the border gate, he still talks so much, and he writes more letters than others. ”

The four ladies and children of the Mu family crowded the main hall of Mrs. Mu, everyone was busy opening the letters, and Mrs. Mu had several sons' letters on the small table, and the letters of her grandson were being read in their hands, and several ladies were also busy opening and reading the letters.

The brothers of the Mu family divided into two piles, Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi were head-to-head, reading a letter together, and the rest of the boys gathered around Mu Qingyi and listened to him read the letter, while Mu Hongshang held his thick letter by himself, laughing while reading.

Mu Zhengyi's letters to his younger brothers and Mu Hongsheng are nothing special, mainly about border customs and the like, but the letters he wrote to Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi seriously described his border experience, as well as the experience accumulated in the army in the past year.

Mu Zhengyi remembered that Tie Yi and Chi Yi were over seventeen years old, and it would not be long before his younger brothers would go to the northern border to be tempered like him. Although Mu Zhengyi has only been at the border for a year and is still a recruit, he also has a lot of worries about his younger brothers, and he can't wait to pour all his experience in this year into Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi, so that their life in the north will be smoother in the future.

As long as the men of the Mu family reach the age of eighteen and start to go to war, they are already involuntarily. They are the Mu generals who defend the border for the country, and the final fate of every Mu family man is the same, according to the dispatch of the Ministry of War, they should go to the border pass to garrison the border pass, and when they should return to Beijing to report on their work, they should return to Beijing to report on their work, and the Mu family guards in several states at the border pass, protecting one side, and finally leaving their lives in the northern battlefield.

This is the fate of the Mu family, as the son of the Mu family, Mu Zhengyi has known since he was sensible, what kind of life he will live in the future, he thinks this is good, he is a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has the responsibility of defending the land, besides, his younger brothers will also go to the border when they grow up, and he is not lonely.

Mu Zhengyi knew that he would return to Beijing at the age of 20 to get married, and he could stay at home for about a year, and then just like an ordinary border general, he could only go home on the day he returned to Beijing to report on work.

Mu Zhengyi knew that his real home was after the northern border pass, although his mother, grandmother, and future wife were not at the border pass, but his final destination was still in the north.

Mu Zhengyi has known these things since he was a child, and there is nothing unacceptable, the Mu family has been like this for generations, and it is not a big deal. The brothers in the family will be in the north in the future, and it is not impossible to see each other, and his mother, grandmother, and future wife are at home in the capital, as long as he does not die in battle, there will always be a chance to return to Beijing to visit.

It's just that Hongshang, his only sister, will see less in the future. Mu Zhengyi knew early on that his sister Hongshang would marry far away when she became an adult, and when she got married, she would probably never see her again.

Mu Zhengyi has no other wishes, he only hopes that when Hongshang gets married, his eldest brother will have the opportunity to return to Beijing to report on his work, he is the eldest brother in the family, and he hopes to have the opportunity to carry his sister on the sedan chair in person.

It can't be done to get married out of Beijing, but Mu Zhengyi hopes that when Hongshang gets married, the brothers in the family can be in Beijing, and he hopes that they can personally send Hongsheng's sedan chair to the Changting outside the capital.

But...... It should be impossible. From the day he went to the battlefield, this generation of Mu family brothers could no longer stay at home neatly.

Probably because he was reluctant to give up his young sister at home, Mu Zhengyi's letter to Mu Hongshang was particularly chatty, and a little bit of chicken and dog could also be nagged. Most of the things he brought back from the border pass were for Mu Hongsheng, not only the cui feather feather that Mu Hongshang wanted, carved leather saddles and a large handful of wolf pens, but also beautiful snow fox skins, simple mud dolls, rare Rongdi felts, silver-plated stirrups, etc., a lot, it seems that they are not gifts saved in a day or two.

Mu Hongsheng received more gifts than the brothers in the family combined, Mu Zhengyi brought them, and the three uncles brought them, there were a lot of them, and the small warehouse in her yard was almost overwhelmed.

Hongsheng has the most gifts, but the brothers in the family seem to take it for granted, even the youngest Mu Jinyi did not look envious and jealous, but ran to the courtyard of Hongsheng with great interest, watched his sister open the gifts, and commented a lot on the gadgets brought by Mu Zhengyi.
