Chapter 54: The County Lord

This is really an unexpected person.

Ying hugged the moon and stood quietly facing the courtyard gate.

In the stillness of the summer night, the woman's voice seemed to melt into it, as if she could dissolve into any environment.

Shun can be a prince and a marquis, and he can wash his hands and make soup with coarse clothes and unkempt head.

Ying Baoyue quietly turned her head and looked at the woman standing under the porch.

"Ma'am."

The moonlight peeked out of the dark clouds, illuminating the figure standing in the shadow of the eaves.

Draped in a shawl made of coarse cloth, he stood quietly behind Ying Baoyue and watched the girl who was alone at the gate of the courtyard and was about to leave.

Muhammad's eyes were soft, as gentle as when she hugged the first moon, and she looked like an ordinary woman.

But it was such a woman who showed a different breath for the first time in the silent night.

Ying Baoyue's familiar and unfamiliar breath.

Under the moon, the two women looked at each other quietly.

"Where are you going?" Mu asked.

"Go find where I'm supposed to be." Ying Baoyue smiled at Muhammad, "I'm afraid something will happen tonight, madam, remember to close the courtyard door." ”

"Well," Muhammad said with a look of surprise but determination, "I know." ”

Ying Baoyue watched her quietly.

Guichen and Guili may never know that their mother is not as incompetent and weak as they think.

Mu Shi looked at his son's bedroom, his expression a little gloomy, "You...... Will it be back? ”

Ying Baoyue was stunned, then smiled slightly and lowered her head and whispered, "I ...... I don't know. ”

Whether she can find the reason why she was framed in her previous life, and which path she will choose is unknown before she explores it.

Merely...... Looking at the obviously not so simple woman in front of her, Ying Baoyue pursed her lips.

I don't know how much she noticed, but unlike Guili's instinctive instincts, the woman should have realized more.

After all, she is the daughter of the Mu family.

But as long as you notice it, you can know that she is a problem, and she still asks ......

"I know you're from an extraordinary background, and I know you have other plans," Mu smiled as he looked at the girl in the moonlight, "but I also have my eyes on people." ”

This extraordinary does not mean that the body must be noble, and the Mu family never looks at people in this way.

"I just wanted to tell you."

The daughter of the Mu family looked at the girl in the courtyard seriously and spoke solemnly.

"This will always be your home."

Ying hugged the moon for a moment, looking at the woman under the eaves of the porch who was dressed in coarse clothes but still did not hide her nobility, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you."

She saluted him.

"I remember."

"Well," Muhammad smiled at her as well, "everyone has their own secrets, good luck." ”

"Thanks, I'm leaving," Ying Baoyue said goodbye to him, turned and pushed open the courtyard door.

Mu Shi watched the girl's back as she left, sighed slightly and was about to turn around, but at that moment, the girl's footsteps pushing the door suddenly stopped.

"Madam," Ying Baoyue said with her back to her, "There are some things that you don't need to endure anymore. ”

Muhammad shook his whole body, and stood on the ground with his feet like roots, staring at the girl's back.

"You ......"

"I admire your nobility, you have done a good job so far," Ying Baoyue said, "You have raised a pair of very good children. ”

"Really?" Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can a failed and cowardly mother like me be called noble? ”

In the eyes of the world, she is just a loser in a battle for the back house.

Or a loser with a burdened child.

"You just can't be strong," Ying Baoyue looked at the back of her hand on the courtyard door.

As the saying goes, motherhood is strong, but in adversity, if the mother is too strong, the child cannot be strong.

In addition to pampering one's own children in the palm of his hand, there is also a way to love children, and Ying Baoyue herself has seen such a parent-child relationship.

From the moment they were disliked by their biological father, the future road of Guichen and Guili as the sons of the family became extremely difficult, and Muhammad's choice was not to protect them for a while, but to withdraw himself and put the child into a cruel environment.

As a result, Guichen and Guili have a stronger ability to survive than their peers.

It's cruel to return, but it's also cruel to this woman.

Because......

"With your status, you can actually choose another path, right?" Ying hugged the moon with her back to the woman, and for the first time in her heart, she called out the woman's real title.

"Lord Pingyang."

Muhammad didn't hear the call, but his eyes were still wide open at the woman's meaning.

"Looks like you heard it from Chen'er? Why does this kid tell you everything? ”

Guichen told her that her mother refused to work for her father's career and was disliked, and did not mention Muhammad's identity.

Maybe even Guichen himself doesn't know how noble his mother's background is.

The people in the village only regarded her as an ordinary village woman who had been swept out of the house.

But this village woman is not only the daughter of the first general of Great Qin, but also the county lord canonized by Emperor Taizu Jinkou Yuyan that year.

Ying hugged the moon and looked quiet.

That's right, Mu is actually a county lord.

In that year, the cavalry general Jin Cheng and his family perished, the hearts of the people in the court were fluctuating, and the generals were even more endangered, and Emperor Taizu had no choice but to begin to canonize the families of the remaining generals.

In order to appease the old ministers, the fifteen-year-old Miss Mu San, the youngest daughter of General Mu, was named the county lord of Pingyang in the name of De Rong's speech and meritorious deeds.

Lord of Pingyang, Mu Rongyin.

It was the true body of the woman behind her, who was hiding deeply.

And the reason why Ying Baoyue remembered this incident was because there was also a girl who was canonized at the same time as Mu Rongyin, the lord of Pingyang County.

At the age of thirteen, he single-handedly reversed the forty-eighth battle between Daqin and Xirong, and the great commander of the battle of Zhaoyang, Lin Shubai's disciple, Lin Baoyue.

Under the letter of the ministers, she received the first title in her life.

The title is taken from the name of that battle, and the title is "Zhaoyang".

This is the title she was widely known for before Shao Siming.

Lord of Zhaoyang.

……

……

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the two county lords who were canonized at the same time would meet in such a form many years later.

Ying Baoyue didn't expect it.

The county lord of Pingyang was just a name for her, the fate of the Mu family had been finalized, and the legend of the thousand-year-old family came to an abrupt end, but she met the heir of this family after being reborn.

"I have never won the favor of the father of those two children, and I have been reduced to this point to make the girl laugh." Mu Shi calmed down and looked at Ying Baoyue's back and said.

It's not that she can't get it, it's that she didn't choose to do it. Ying hugged the moon and said.

Guichen always thought that his father's temperament had changed because of his change of heart and being bewitched by Chu Ji, but she felt that it was not that simple.

From Guichen Guili's mouth, Ying Baoyue learned that after Chu Ji entered the mansion, Guichang's status in front of His Majesty was rising day by day for some reason, and he became Yinghanri's favorite minister.

Thinking of the unfathomable old woman in Chu Ji's body, Ying Baoyue squinted her eyes.

Guichang was bewitched by Chu Ji's beauty to spoil his concubine and kill his wife?

Don't be stupid, marriage between big families is not so simple.

Da Sima Guichang did not change his mind.

It's just that in his heart, I'm afraid there is something more important.

……

……

The blood moon rose higher and higher in the sky, and just as Ying Baoyue and Mu were talking, a luxurious carriage was speeding towards Sima's mansion.

The guard on horseback at the side of the carriage spoke to a man in the carriage.

"Master, we'll be at the house soon, and Mrs. Li prepared your favorite dish for you before."

"She's got a heart," a middle-aged man's voice came from the carriage, with appreciation.

"The advice given by Chu'er this time also played a big role, and the king really gave such a favor to Longyan Dayue, and he had to thank her well when he went back. Is the gift ready? ”

"It's all set." The guard replied with sincere fear.

The man nodded in satisfaction, and the carriage continued to splo.
