Mrs. Mu and An Guocheng were worried about Mu Hongsheng's future, but the children at home were still carefree and were gathering together to talk.

The eldest child of this generation is Mu Zhengyi, the eldest son of the second master of the Guogong Mansion, who is almost nineteen years old this year and has not yet married a wife.

The Anguo Mansion is actually not a prosperous family. The northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Rong Di have been in turmoil for many years, and the Mu family has been a general for generations, guarding the border passes, although there are many descendants, but there are also many losses on the territory. There were four brothers in the generation of the old grandfather, but only the old grandfather lived to be in his forties.

Among the older generation of grandfathers, the grandfather of the old country is actually not the eldest son. The eldest brother of the grandfather of the old country was only twenty-one years old when he died in the war, and his wife was just more than six months pregnant. Hearing the bad news of her husband's death in battle, the young and frail wife couldn't bear the grief and did not keep the child, and experienced the pain of losing her husband and child, and the young widow didn't stay up for long.

When the eldest brother and sister-in-law died, the grandfather of Lao Guo was nineteen years old and followed his father to guard Yanmen Pass. He was the luckiest one of that generation, he returned to Beijing at the age of twenty to marry a married woman, and married a girl from the Li family of Zhao County, who is now Mrs. Mu.

Grandpa Lao Guo returned to Beijing at the age of twenty to marry, stayed in Beijing for three years, and the year that Grandpa An's eldest sister was born, Grandpa Laoguo's father died in battle. In this year, the third brother of the grandfather of the old country turned 20 years old and was supposed to return to Beijing to marry, but his father died in battle and had to be kept in the system for three years, so he had to negotiate with the betrothed family and postpone the marriage.

Who would have thought that before the three-year period arrived, the groom who was about to marry had already died on the battlefield, and the girl's family, who had been engaged, was dragged down into a widow.

It was also from that year that the Mu family ruled that men no longer discussed marriage in advance. The men of the Mu family all grew up in Beijing, studied and practiced martial arts, followed their father and brother to the battlefield at the age of eighteen, and returned to Beijing at the age of twenty to discuss marriage. After getting married, he was like an ordinary military attaché, and according to the dispatch of the Ministry of War, he went to the border pass to be stationed at the border pass, and when he changed guards, he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and if the border pass was restless, he was ordered to accept the dispatch.

When An Guogong was three years old, Lao Guogong's last younger brother was twenty years old and returned to Beijing to marry a wife, but he also left only two children, a boy and a girl, and died at the age of twenty-six.

The younger brother of the old Guogong was killed, and the younger sister-in-law was too sad and couldn't afford to be sick, Mrs. Mu simply held their two children under her knees and raised them, and the boy was the second master of the current Guogong Mansion, Mu Tieyi and Mu Hongsheng's second uncle Mu Chengfang, and now he is stationed in Yanzhou with his eldest son Mu Zhengyi.

And the daughter of the fourth old lady is the little sister in the mouth of An Guogong, who was raised by Mrs. Mu herself, and finally married in Ping'an Prefecture, thousands of miles away.

After her daughter got married, the widow of the fourth old lady died of illness, and the lady saw the birth of her eldest grandson Mu Zhengyi, and married her only daughter, so she didn't feel sorry before leaving. It's just that when she left, Mrs. Mu became the only old lady in the Anguo Mansion, and she seemed a little lonely.

Speaking of the old Guogong's generation, the only one who is still blessed is Mrs. Mu's Li. Her husband lived to be at least forty-five years old before dying in battle, and she was also a rare blessed old lady in the history of the Mu family, having a total of four children, three boys and one girl.

The girl is An Guogong's eldest sister, who has long been married. And the boy is An Guogong, the third master Mu Chengxin and the fourth master Mu Chengde of the Guogong Mansion.

said that Mrs. Mu is the most blessed old lady in the history of the Mu family, not because she has many children, but because the children raised by Mrs. Mu have all grown up peacefully, and they have all married wives and children peacefully.

An Guogong's generation, the four brothers of the Mu family, including Mu Chengfang, are still safe and sound, Mu Chengde, the fourth master of Mu, is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, and he is still stationed in Shuozhou in the ten northern states safely, and his son Mu Lingyi is fourteen years old this year, two years older than Mu Hongsheng.

And Mu Chengxin, the third master of Mu Chengxin, is six years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, and the eldest son Mu Chiyi is almost seventeen years old this year, only two months away from Mu Tieyi, the eldest son of Duke Anguo, and the youngest son Mu Jinyi is four months younger than Hongshang, and he is also twelve years old.

The second master Mu Chengfang also has two babies at home, the eldest Mu Zhengyi is nineteen years old and has gone to the battlefield with his father, and the youngest son Mu Qingyi is fifteen years old this year, studying and practicing martial arts with his brothers in Beijing. It's just that this child's health is not very good, although he practices kung fu hard, but his body is limited, even if he tries hard, he can't catch up with the other brothers in the family, and he is not even as good as the twelve-year-old sister Mu Hongsheng in the family.

However, Mu Qingyi is not ashamed of himself, this kid's riding and archery kung fu is far worse than his brothers and sisters, and he is not good at fists and feet, but he is very smart and reads well. At a young age, he had quite an idea.

Mu Qingyi was born in a family like the Mu family, so it was naturally impossible for him to take the imperial examination or promote officials to the office, but he was not panicking, he had already thought about it, when he was eighteen years old, he would also go to the northern border like his brothers.

He is the son of the Mu family, the Mu family has been a general for generations, stationed at the border passes, protecting one side, since he was born in the Mu family, even if he can't lead the army like his brothers, but the duty of defending the land still has to be done. Mu Qingyi planned to wait until he was eighteen years old to leave for Shuozhou, enter the Shuobei General's Mansion, and serve as a staff member for his fourth uncle.

Who said that if you fulfill your duty to defend the land, you must lead the army to fight, isn't it okay to be a master! What general can have a staff in his tent?

Looking at it this way, Mrs. Mu is really a great blessing, seven grandchildren are surrounded by knees, and it is good to be scattered on weekdays, but when it comes to the New Year's Festival, seven half-grown children with different personalities are noisy and noisy, which is really lively.

Just like right now, Mrs. Mu and An Guogong's mother and son are sitting quietly opposite each other, but Xinuan Pavilion is making a lot of noise, except for Mu Zhengyi, who went to the border, all the children in the family are gathered here, and they all came to visit Mu Hongsheng, who was punished. From the seventeen-year-old Mu Tieyi, the eldest to the twelve-year-old Mu Jinyi, the youngest twelve-year-old Mu Jinyi, five and a half children plus a girl, almost filled the entire Xinuan Pavilion, and the dim sum was almost not enough.

"Here's for you!" Seventeen-year-old Mu Tieyi stuffed a stack of books in his hand to Mu Hongsheng, and smiled gloatingly: "Copy it well, copy it carefully." ”
