Chapter 77: Sending Off
The brothers of the Mu family made a fuss about who to marry Mu Hongsheng in the future, Mu Hongshang looked at her brother and brother with a smile, and listened to them discuss her future marriage lively, not embarrassed at all, as if listening to someone else's business.
She can even give advice very enthusiastically and give advice on where to marry, not at all like an ordinary little girl, who blushes shy when she hears such topics.
"Can I marry to the North in the future?" Mu Hongsheng was really serious and made a suggestion, "Be closer to you." ”
"Definitely not." Mu Lingyi smiled and shook his head, "Sister, do you still remember that my grandfather's family was originally from the north, my mother grew up in Shengzhou, and my grandfather moved to Qingzhou to live with her relatives after he died in battle." The thirteen northern states are bitterly cold and war-torn, and living there is no fun. ”
"I remember that the fourth uncle's family was originally a big family in Shengzhou," Mu Qingyi said, "After General Qu died in battle, the family slowly fell. ”
"Yes." Mu Lingyi nodded, "My brothers all know that Shengzhou is already one of the most prosperous state capitals in the thirteen states in the north, Rao is so, and my mother often sighs that Shengzhou is bitter cold." If it is said that it is prosperous and rich, Shengzhou City is not as good as the capital, and even a remote state capital like Qingzhou is not as good as it. The thirteen states in the north are in war all year round, and they are really depressed and barren, how can my sister go to such a place to live. ”
Mu Lingyi was telling the truth. Shengzhou is the westernmost state capital of the thirteen states in the north, between Yunwang Mountain and Jueyu Mountain, from the Fufeng Pass of Qinfeng Road, must pass through Shengzhou, it is the thoroughfare to the west of the north, most of the merchants coming and going on Qinfeng Road stay in Shengzhou, so it is one of the most prosperous and rich state capitals in the thirteen states in the north.
However, the so-called "prosperous and wealthy" of Shengzhou is only compared with the rest of the state capitals in the north, and out of the north, even the most remote and poor states and counties in the Great Zhou are stronger than Shengzhou.
"My maternal grandfather used to be a hussar general under the command of my grandfather, leading the five grades, and General Qu's Mansion is already one of the largest families in Shengzhou," Mu Lingyi taught Mu Hongshang seriously, "My mother once said that she was already happy to have an embroidered muslin skirt when she was a child, and almost no one in Shengzhou wore brocade. The most enviable thing in the whole Shengzhou is the young lady of the Zhizhou family, who can wear a plain satin dress every day. How can my sister go to such a place to live, even if others are willing, I will not either. ”
"But in the future, you all have to live in the north," Mu Hongsheng looked confident, "You can, why can't I?" Could it be that I don't have the surname Mu? ”
"Don't mess around," Mu Chi said with a blank face, "I still expect you to marry to the rich, prosperous and beautiful Jiangnan." The third brother is still counting on the day when he can remove his armor and go to his sister to support the elderly. If you marry and go to the north, will it be possible that I will have to stay in the bitter cold land to live even if I take off my armor? ”
"Exactly." Mu Jinyi said in a loud voice, "Sister, don't pit me, I don't want to live a lifetime in the north." ”
Mu Hongshang was silent for a moment, and then asked very seriously, "Then, if I marry to Jiangnan, can my brother and Jinyi promise me first, and in the future, you will definitely go to Jiangnan to find me on the day you take off your armor, and you can't break your word." If you are willing to agree, I will marry you wherever you like. ”
"Of course." Before the brothers could speak, Mu Jinyi patted his chest first and said, "What's so difficult about this." By the time I take off my armor, my grandson will probably be able to guard the northern border, and no one can control where I like to go. The northern border passes don't have to rely on me as an old man to support them. ”
"Whatever my sister says," Mu Tieyi also smiled and nodded, "It's just that after my sister gets married, she must save some dowry silver, otherwise where will she get the money to support us so many old men in the future." ”
"This brother rest assured," Mu Hongshang replied, "Then we said it, we can't change it, if you trick me into marrying Jiangnan, but you don't come to me to support the elderly according to the agreement, I will never forgive you, and I will hold a grudge for the rest of my life." ”
"Good!" Mu Tieyi stretched out his hand to touch Mu Hongsheng's brain, and his voice was slightly astringent, "Definitely." ”
The send-off banquet was ordered by Mu Qingyi to the housekeeper at home, and the dishes had been set in advance. Not long after the brothers and sisters of the Mu family sat down, the second brother came to knock on the door to serve tea and snacks, and asked when the food would be served by the way.
"The wine will be served first," Mu Qingyi instructed, "and we'll talk about the dishes later." ”
"Yes!" "The uncle who came to book the room two days ago specially explained, saying that the nobles should stay in the small shop for a whole day, and the small ones should not be disturbed casually, so the small ones will not serve in the private room." The small ones are at the top of the stairs to listen to orders, the table is set in advance, when the nobles want to serve, just open the door and call out. In addition, under the instructions of the master, is it okay to change the tea and snacks every two quarters of an hour? ”
"No hassle." Mu Qingyi shook his head, "The wine is served, and there are a few more dim sums, my sister likes osmanthus flavored dim sum, you look at the arrangement, the tea does not need to be changed frequently, if you want to add tea, I will call you again." ”
The little brother agreed to go down, but after a while, the door of the private room was knocked gently, and the little brother came up with three or four little second brothers, each with a full tray in his hand, several people were quiet and busy, some people added tea, some people set the table, and in a blink of an eye, a table full of snacks was placed.
The wine jug was also brought and placed aside according to Mu Qingyi's instructions. When the second brother left the private room, Mu Qingyi stood up and nodded at Mu Hongsheng, "Little sister, pour wine." ”
Mu Hongsheng nodded, stood up, picked up the wine jug, stood beside Mu Qingyi, and began to pour wine one by one.
Six glasses of wine, neatly arranged on the table. After Mu Hongsheng poured the wine and put the wine jug aside, Mu Qingyi picked up the middle glass.
"Today, the generals will go on the expedition, and the pearl of my Mu family will personally hold the pot and add wine." After finishing speaking, Mu Qingyi raised the wine glass in his hand high.
Mu Lingyi, Mu Hongsheng and Mu Jinyi also immediately picked up their wine glasses, stood in a row with Mu Qingyi, and raised four glasses of wine high.
"May General Tieyi and General Chiyi be safe."
Peaceful. Just two words. The toast of the Mu family brothers and sisters to send off the general is so simple. Their aspirations are so simple.
Peace is good.
Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi picked up the wine glasses on the table, raised them to the younger siblings, and then drank them all. The wine glasses of the remaining Mu brothers and sisters were held high in their hands, and only after Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi's wine was drunk did they raise their heads and drink the wine in the glass.
"Brother, be safe until the day you remove your armor." Mu Hongsheng held an empty wine glass and looked at the second and third brothers standing side by side, "You promised me, you must not break your promise." ”
