The old lady sighed: "This so-called, life should not be extinguished." It's hard for you to survive alone on the vast sea at such a young age. If you are small, I only said that you are not afraid of heaven and earth, but you are reckless, afraid that you will get into trouble. Now seeing you doing things like this, my grandmother is also relieved, my Muzhi is a brave and resourceful good child, and he is a hard life. ”

Hard-hitting.

How many women are most afraid of being told that their lives are hard.

Hardness means being strong, it means that men can't suppress it, they can't resist, and it means that ordinary people are afraid of it......

It also means loneliness.

However, the women of the Chen family and the Zheng family are not afraid of being told that their lives are hard.

Chen Muzhi's heart stirred, and he looked at his grandmother sitting on the top.

But I saw that the old lady's face was calm, and her wrinkled eyes were not as cloudy as ordinary old people, but calm and deep, as if she could tolerate everything in the world.

"There are a lot of rumors outside, don't take it to heart. Grandmother is very relieved, I didn't see a crying wooden branch, you have to remember that your father An Guogong is a hero of the Dashun Dynasty who killed tens of millions of enemies, you are the daughter of An Guogong, and your backbone is the backbone of Guogong Mansion. ”

"Mu Zhi remembers his grandmother's teachings!"

Guan Shi was moved when he heard this, and he also took Chen Muzhi's hand and said, "If you have any difficulties, just come and tell the old lady and aunt." As we say in the old way, my nephew and uncle's dog have no food to climb the stove. You're right! ”

My nephew's uncle's dog has no food to climb the stove. It means that when the nephew goes to his uncle's house, he is originally unrestrained, and if the uncle's family doesn't give him food, he can directly climb the stove to find food.

The old lady laughed: "Look at the daughter-in-law of our Zheng family, since I started, they are not from Yuedi, but these Yuedi sayings have been learned to the fullest." ”

Although the three brothers and sisters of the Zheng family did not intervene, they all looked at Chen Muzhi and smiled.

Warmth immediately surged into Chen Muzhi's heart.

In any case, he is not alone, at least he has the silent support of the Zheng family behind him.

After lunch, Chen Muzhi and Zheng Cunfang accompanied the old lady back to the room and talked to the old lady for a while. The old lady was about to rest during the day, when someone came from front of her, saying that the old man had come back from the yamen and was anxious to see his niece and daughter who had escaped death.

"Go ahead, your uncle has been talking about you for a long time. Cunfang is here to accompany me. The old lady said.

In fact, Chen Muzhi was also anxious to meet his uncle Zheng Mu.

Zheng Mu is nearly forty years old, born with a dignified appearance, when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was upright and square, and he was deeply respected. Although his rank is not very high at his age, Zheng Mu is respectable because although he is the eldest son of the county lord and Shangshu, he is the most regular but also the most difficult road to the imperial examination.

Back then, Chen Muxi respected him very much, even Chen Muzhi, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, did not dare to make a mistake in front of this uncle, no matter how "uncle's dog", he did not have the courage to "climb the stove".

"Uncle!" As soon as he saw Zheng Mu, Chen Muzhi immediately knelt down and saluted in a proper manner.

Zheng Mu immediately helped Chen Muzhi up, and looked at it, the corners of his eyes were already a little moist.

"Good boy, it's good to come back alive."

There was no one else in the room, Zheng Mu pointed to the chair in front of him and asked Chen Muzhi to sit down: "You have been in the water master yamen for a few days, have they embarrassed you?" ”

Shaoqing of Dali Temple, sure enough, the question was also to the point.

Chen Muzhi said: "I sent a few mothers-in-law to serve, and people came to ask questions every day, but the people who asked were very polite, and Muzhi did not suffer." ”

A few mothers-in-law...... Zheng Mu nodded, he didn't have to think about it, he also knew that these mothers-in-law must be the eyeliner that monitored Chen Muzhi.

And those questions about Chen Muzhi have long been sorted out into copywriting and presented to Dali Temple. Zheng Mu read the interrogation record in detail, and with his many years of experience in handling cases and his understanding of Chen Muzhi, Zheng Mu could almost conclude that Chen Muzhi had reservations.

This nephew's daughter, who has never had a heart and lungs and only has swords and weapons in her eyes, suddenly became scheming. Zheng Mu felt that there must be an inside story in this.

"Your father's life and death are uncertain, and you are a minor female doll, and the court will not pursue your involvement in the warship. But ......"

Zheng Mu glanced at Chen Muzhi deeply, and said slowly, "In the future, no matter who asks about the warship, what you say to the people in the imperial court will also answer to the outside world." Even if there are memories of the past during the period, there must be no complications. Of course, if you remember your father's whereabouts, you must tell your uncle as soon as possible, and your uncle will take you to see Prince Yi. ”

"Prince Yi?" Chen Muzhi was puzzled, why did he remember his father's whereabouts and tell Prince Yi immediately?

But seeing Zheng Mu's face a little sad and angry, he said, "It's a big matter, and my uncle can't talk to you much." You only remember in your heart that the situation is complicated, and now your father can still be remembered by the king with a loyal and conscientious heart, and he can also treat all the people in your country and mansion preferentially, if one day someone uses the topic to play and backhand your father's hat, it is not impossible......"

Chen Muzhi gasped.

Dare to love his father is not only missing, but even "loyal traitor" may be decided by others at any time.

A chill crept up from Chen Muzhi's back.

"Koeda understood." She whispered, "The battleship can't speak, the missing soldiers can't speak, and I, who survived, don't know how to speak." If you can't say it yourself, you should beware of others saying it, is that so? ”

Zheng Mu didn't speak, was silent for a moment, and said: "The sailor went on the expedition, the commander is missing, and it is a shameless thing in the imperial court after all." You are still young, and your uncle shouldn't have used these things to scare you, but now that you are out of the matter, your uncle can only try his best to remind you not to make mistakes and cause trouble. ”

"Thank you, uncle. No matter where Daddy is, Mu Zhi will do his best to protect Daddy's reputation and protect the reputation of the National Mansion. ”

Seeing that Chen Muzhi was so resolute, Zheng Mu was also in good spirits.

"Do you believe your dad is still alive?" Zheng Mu asked.

Chen Muzhi nodded firmly: "I believe that he must still be in a corner somewhere, alive and well, but he hasn't been discovered yet!" ”

"Your father is not only my brother-in-law, but also my confidant for many years."

Zheng Mu said firmly, "Let's wait for your father to come back!" ”

But Chen Muzhi suddenly asked, "Uncle, are Prince Yi and my father also confidants?" ”

This question was asked suddenly, Zheng Mu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Prince Yi can't be said to be a confidant, but he is the recommender of your father's expedition." ”

"My father has won so many battles, and he has to recommend people when he goes to the East China Sea?"

Zheng Mu said: "You child, you don't understand. Your father is important again, in the end, he is not in the center, the East China Sea war, especially the stakes, must be recommended by the cardinal, and the emperor will give him a military talisman before he can lead the troops to the battle. ”

"Soldier ......," Chen Muzhi muttered.

Zheng Mu looked at Chen Muzhi, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but he pressed it down.
