"Master Jiang." Mu Lingyi took Mu Hongyi and respectfully saluted Jiang Wenbin.

"Why did the fifth prince and the eldest lady come out?" Jiang Wenbin asked gently, not at all the awkward appearance when he argued with Jiang Wenbin just now.

"Sorry to interrupt." The brother and sister, who were tied with white cloth strips on their heads, looked a little haggard, but they still bowed respectfully to Jiang Wenbin very politely.

"Master Jiang, we didn't mean to observe." Mu Lingyi said: "I brought my sister out, originally to say something to Master Xie. Yesterday, Miss Xie Si asked Lord Xie Xiang to bring a letter to her sister, but now my sister is also empty to reply to the letter, just today Lord Xie came, and my sister wanted to ask Lord Xie to help Miss Xie Si bring two sentences, so we came out. ”

"Oops." Jiang Wenbin immediately turned his head to look in the direction where Xie Changjing left: "It's already far away...... Miss Mu, Chang Jing will go to my house later, if it is not too important, you can also tell me, and I will ask Chang Jing to convey it on my behalf later. ”

"It doesn't matter too much." Mu Hongshang shook her head: "Sister Xie can't come to pay tribute to my second uncle, so she specially wrote a letter to apologize." She was worried about me, and I just wanted to reassure her. If it's not troublesome, my lord, you can say to Lord Xie for me later, bring a message to Sister Xie, just say that I am very good, and the family is fine, tell her not to worry. ”

"Good!" Jiang Wenbin nodded seriously: "Miss Mu, don't worry, the words will definitely be brought to you." ”

"Lord Jiang," Mu Hongsheng and Mu Lingyi suddenly saluted Jiang Wenbin respectfully: "My brother and I want to thank you." ”

Jiang Wenbin was busy helping them, while shaking his head and saying, "How can a matter of one sentence deserve such a great gift from the fifth prince and the eldest lady." ”

"My lord, we are not for the favor of the sentence just now." Mu Hongsheng raised her head, her bright eyes looked straight at Jiang Wenbin, her expression was very solemn, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the white cloth belt around Jiang Wenbin's waist, and said, "It's for this." Thank you, my lord, for being so sincere to my second uncle. ”

"My lord," Mu Lingyi also solemnly bowed his hand to Jiang Wenbin: "Thank you for the comments you just made to my second uncle, thank you for not being afraid of criticism and insisting on saluting my second uncle's spirit." ”

The Mu family brothers and sisters thanked them so solemnly, which made Jiang Wenbin a little uncomfortable. His originally gray face flushed a little red, and he looked a little shy: "This ...... I...... It's all as it should be. During his lifetime, Zhongmin Gong had instructed me in many things, and I had a half-teacher friendship, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to thank him in person. Therefore, today I am only doing my duty to worship the teacher before the Spirit. And what is not to be criticized...... You ......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Wenbin suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly waved his hand to the Mu family brothers and sisters: "Don't misunderstand Chang Jing's words just now. He didn't have any disrespect for Zhongmin Gong, but he was too worried, so he said that. He really didn't have any ill will. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we won't misunderstand." Mu Lingyi replied, "We know that Lord Xie is thinking about you, what he said...... Actually, it makes sense. ”

"Nonsense. What makes sense, he just cares about it. Jiang Wenbin hurriedly said: "Don't believe him, I will come to mourn Zhongmin Gong, what kind of courtesy to do, whether to wear filial piety or not, this is my own business." I'm just a fifth-grade official, except for Chang Jing, who has noticed me. ”

Mu Lingyi and Mu Hongshang knew that Jiang Wenbin deliberately understated this matter in front of them. They didn't pierce Jiang Wenbin, but just saluted him silently and silently expressed their gratitude. First Chinese Network

Jiang Wenbin sighed, waved his hand at the haggard sister and brother, and said, "Go back quickly, there are many people today, and I will come to visit Mrs. Mu in two days." ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Wenbin didn't wait for the Mu family brothers and sisters to answer, turned around in a hurry, and walked along the road where Xie Changjing left.

The brothers and sisters of the Mu family waited until Jiang Wenbin's figure completely disappeared before turning around and returning to the mourning hall, talking in a low voice as they walked.

"Mr. Sun seems to be very familiar with that Master Jiang." Mu Hongshang said in a low voice.

"Yes." Mu Lingyi nodded: "After Uncle went to the north, Lord Jiang also came to our house a few times, and they were all received by Mr. Sun. Once, my grandmother specially left him for dinner at our house, and the fourth brother went to accompany him. ”

"Hmm." Mu Hongshang nodded: "Grandmother values this Master Jiang very much." ”

"Uncle also values him very much," Mu Lingyi said in a low voice, "There is also a third uncle." Before the third uncle left home to take up his post, he had instructed me that if there was something in the court and there was no time to send a letter to the north, I could consult with this Master Jiang first. You must remember this clearly. ”

"What do you mean by this, Fifth Brother?" Mu Hongsheng turned around suddenly, her clear eyes opened wide, and she looked straight into Mu Lingyi's eyes.

"I want to leave for the north before the Chinese New Year." Mu Lingyi said softly.

"Nope." Mu Hongsheng grabbed Mu Lingyi's sleeve: "You are a military general, and you will enter the military camp when you go to the north, which is different from the fourth brother!" You have to be eighteen years old to go! ”

Mu Lingyi was silent for a moment before reaching out and tearing away her sister's hand: "Hongsheng, you know that the situation in the north in the past few years has been different from when we were children, and it is difficult to support it with just my uncles and my father." Now that the second uncle has died, there is no one in the north. If I don't go, how will the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother come back? ”

"That's not going to happen." Mu Hongsheng was so anxious that her face turned white: "You are not allowed to go to the battlefield under the age of eighteen!" This is the rule laid down by our ancestors. The fourth brother joined the general's mansion as a staff member, and it would have been good to leave earlier, but you are different! ”

"But I want my eldest brother to come home for the New Year." Mu Lingyi sighed: "Look at the second aunt, she is already haggard now. The second uncle died, and the eldest brother and the fourth brother were both at the northern border, and now only the sister-in-law could comfort her. So I hope to change the eldest brother back, the eldest brother is back, maybe the second aunt can be better. ”

"But...... But ......" Mu Hongshang was so anxious that she was about to jump to her feet: "Less than eighteen years old, you have practiced one year less than the eldest brother, fourth brother, you obviously know why the ancestors strictly ordered the children of the Mu family to be eighteen years old before they can go to the battlefield, a year of hard work, it seems nothing at home, but when you go to the battlefield, it is likely to be a fatal thing." ”

Mu Lingyi didn't speak, but his expression was unexpectedly stubborn. Mu Hongsheng stared at his eyes, his little face was cold, and he looked more stubborn than Mu Lingyi: "Don't even think about it!" ”
