was worried about Mu Yinan's affairs, this Mu Yinan rushed into the door recklessly, Mu Zhenhai, who was a father, immediately came up, frowned, and was about to scold him.

"You're shouting and kicking the door again, what kind of system are you ......?"

But before the word "system" was exported, Mu Zhenhai caught a glimpse of He Hongqing walking slowly from outside the door, and the ruthlessness of Lao Tzu teaching his son just now disappeared without a trace. I saw that his hand pointing at Mu Yinan quickly turned it behind him, and said in a charitable tone: "Dad didn't mean you, why are you also the second young master of Mu Mansion, do you still have to talk about the rules, don't you?"

After all, Mu Zhenhai also turned his old face sideways, unwilling to look at Mu Yinan's evil smile.

"Yo! Teach my son?" At this time, He Hongqing had already walked into the study, and she was joking at Mu Zhenhai while straightening the crooked collar for Mu Yinan.

Mu Zhenhai hurriedly walked to He Hongqing's side, and said with a very aggrieved look: "Madam, how dare I, I'm not ...... Isn't this looking at the large number of people today, I'm afraid that Yi Nan will lose his manners......"

He Hongqing looked at her husband, who was more than eight feet long and carried the rise and fall of the entire Mufu on his shoulders, like a child who had made a mistake in front of him at this moment, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, the head of your family is a bit of a head of the family, can I eat you?"

"Yes, yes, Madame, Madame, please take a seat. ”

"I won't sit down, and the wives of the heads of the family who have separated are still waiting in the house. I'm here to talk to you about something. ”

As soon as He Hongqing's words came out, Mu Zhenhai was inexplicably a little nervous. He knew very well that his wife was very thoughtful, and he came to talk to him at this time, for fear that it would have something to do with the master's family competition. Looking at Mu Yinan who came with him on the side, he was even more sure of He Hongqing's intention.

"Madame......"

Seeing that Mu Zhenhai was in a hurry to speak, He Hongqing didn't pay attention to it, and said to himself: "According to age, Yi Nan is also going to participate in the quadrennial test this year, although Yi Nan still has the foundation to cultivate, but Yi Ying's moves, spells, and mastery have not been involved, and I am afraid that it will also damage the face of you, the master of the family......"

"What Madame said is ......"

"Don't do it first, if this is not the rule set by the ancestors of the Mu family, I don't think you want Yi Nan to come to power by yourself. So, I came today to say that Yi Nan will participate in this big test, but no matter what the result is, you are not allowed to throw your face, and you are not allowed to force Yi Nan to cultivate under an excuse, and ...... third."

He Hongqing paused, glanced at Mu Yinan, who was on the side with a pestle, and then said slowly: "Three, after the New Year, you have to allow Yi Nan to take a one-year vacation, let him go out to travel, and don't ask." As for security, you don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements. ”

"This ......"

As soon as He Hongqing's words came out, Mu Zhenhai was speechless. If the previous two conditions were expected by Mu Zhenhai, then this third condition really made him puzzled. Why did this good person suddenly want to go out to travel? I had never seen Mu Yinan have any thoughts of leaving home before, which was really surprising.

Mu Zhenhai looked at the mother and son suspiciously, and said, "You have already discussed this, are you hiding something from me......?" Is there something wrong?"

"Uh...... Dad, can't you hope that I will be better?What is the matter if you keep thinking about me getting into trouble?" Although this Mu Yinan is a master who does not do his job, he has a harmless face. I saw that his mouth was deflated, his eyebrows trembled, and his face seemed to have a big grievance written on his face, which was really distressing to watch.

Mu Yinan's appearance also made Mu Zhenhai's helplessness to the extreme, he looked at He Hongqing, who was silent but had an unpredictable smile on his face, so he had to spread his hands, sighed and replied: "I'm afraid of you, okay, I promise." ”

Before Mu Zhenhai's words fell, He Hongqing couldn't help but giggle. And Mu Yinan gave a thumbs up and kept praising him: "Mother, ginger is still your spicy!"

This dramatic scene made Mu Zhenhai's brain hurt, and he thought that he was put on the table again, but after being put on the table, he was still "powerless to fight back", but he was really a dumb person who ate Coptis chinensis. Then, with the farewell sounds of "Dad, son retire first" and "Master, I'll go back first", the mother and son disappeared into Mu Zhenhai's field of vision with a smile, leaving only the open door and the falling snow to accompany him, a "lonely" person......

......

After leaving the study, Mu Yinan went straight back to the west wing where he lived. Although he met his cousins cooking tea and talking about it on the way, he never joined, firstly, the other party was not invited, and secondly, he had no intention of doing so, but they looked at Mu Yinan's gaze, which made him quite unhappy.

If my brother was still here, I would have had a good conversation with them, right? Mu Yinan lay on the bed boredly, recalling the look in his eyes just now, and couldn't help but sigh softly. He suddenly thought, if his brother was still there at this time, what would it be like?

Although they are siblings, Mu Yinan and Mu Xiwu's personalities are completely different. Mu Xiwu is not only quite diligent in his cultivation, but also very keen to socialize, so he has excellent popularity among his peers. And Mu Yinan has a loose personality and has no intention of practicing, and he has no interest in dealing with things. When Mu Xiwu was still alive, he often took Mu Yinan to meet with the elites of the clan, and after Mu Xiwu disappeared, Mu Yinan almost did not interact with his peers in Mu Fu. He began to stay away from all kinds of people in the Mu family, wandering around all day, preferring to spend a whole day teasing the crickets with those unprofessional second ancestors in Linhai City, rather than spending a trace of time to practice. Soon, people gradually forgot about this former genius boy, and occasionally met, and they didn't know where to start.

But Mu Yinan has never felt that there is anything wrong with him like this, there are many ways to live, not only cultivation is the only way out, and making friends, it should be based on mood, will, and go against his heart, he is unwilling to do it, and he can't do it. It's just that he was born in a big family, and many things can't be carried out according to his own will——— such as choosing the next head of the family.

The Mu family attaches great importance to the inheritance of blood, so the position of the head of the family has always been inherited by the eldest son, originally Mu Xiwu was the first choice for the next head of the family, but with his mysterious disappearance, the position of the head of the family naturally fell on Mu Yinan.

As early as a few years ago, some elders in the clan frequently suggested that the head of the family should let Mu Yinan move from the west wing to the east wing to live——— that is, "the second is the longest", but Mu Zhenhai always refused on the grounds that "Yi Nan is still young and will not consider it for the time being". Mu Yinan naturally knew in his heart that this was just his father's excuse. In Mu Zhenhai's eyes, Mu Yinan is a child who will never grow up, and he may really not be able to bear the word head of the family.

Thinking about it, Mu Yinan gradually fell asleep, and the corners of his mouth would be slightly raised from time to time, as if he was experiencing something interesting in his dream.

......

New calendar 1904, Chinese New Year's Eve, unitary time.

The biggest banquet of the year in Mufu is slowly kicking off at this moment. The wide hall is brightly lit, and the members of the main family and the members of the divided family sit in turn in mutual greetings——— the head of the house enters the hall and the main seat is seated, and the rest of the main family enters the left seat, and the separate family enters the right seat, which is strictly regulated. There are artists hired by a lot of money to play and sing in the side hall, which is both grand and lively.

After everyone was seated, Mu Zhenhai read out some congratulatory messages as usual, and the reunion banquet officially began.

The whole banquet will last for about an hour, not that there are endless dishes, but toasts and greetings between various families, which will take up most of the time, and this is what Mu Yinan likes the most. Because after three rounds of drinking, people always like to start "talking": which cousin worshiped under the nine major forces, so-and-so cousin entered the "endless list" of the imperial capital, and even which brother made a lot of spiritual stones, all of which are the talking points between these relatives. It is said to be a conversation, but it may be more of a show-off, a kind of show-off that revolves around the future of the younger generations of the family.

This slightly noisy banquet, Mu Yinan has been used to it for more than ten years and still has no habits, he walked out of the hall alone, came to a remote step, patted the snow on the steps, and sat down.

After a day of snowfall, it gradually became less and smaller, Mu Yinan looked up at the dark blue night sky, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Little Yi Nan, where are you here?" Just as Mu Yi Nan could see his mind, a very intellectual female voice came into his ears.

Mu Yinan followed the sound and saw a woman with a delicate appearance and extraordinary temperament, standing in the wind and snow with her hands folded.

"Sister Jun, it's you. Mu Yinan looked at the visitor and reluctantly squeezed out some smiles.

Zhu Jun, Mufu is a very special existence. It is said that Zhu Jun followed He Hongqing into the Mu family, and was only five years old when she entered the mansion, but as for her origin, no one knows. Since then, she has been by He Hongqing's side, and He Hongqing has also treated her as her own daughter, and her cultivation resources have been distributed according to the standards of the main family. Therefore, the subordinates of Mufu all respectfully call her Miss Zhu. For Mu Yinan, Zhu Jun is the only peer who can talk to him except for his brother Mu Xiwu.

"I heard that you are going to go far away after the New Year?" Zhu Jun asked with a smile.

"Yes, I want to go out and have a look!" Mu Yinan shrugged his shoulders, showing that he didn't care, and said: "Although this Linhai City is not small, I want to play with all the fun, I heard that the imperial capital is as big as five Linhai City, so I can't go to see the world!"

"You, you're still so out of tune!" Zhu Jun looked at Mu Yinan's appearance and scolded with a smile.

"Wow, Sister Jun, don't you know, I heard the young master of the Li family say that in the most prosperous area of the imperial capital, there is a Tianchi Road, and there are all kinds of restaurants on Tianchi Road, and the girls there are all said to be good at color and art, especially the strength of the Intoxicating Pavilion, tsk, ten miles of Tianchi Road, the only force, I really want to go and see, whether that force is good looking at our sister Jun. "Mu Yinan said that he was dancing, where is there still a famous family.

"Tianchi Road?restaurant?girl?" Zhu Jun immediately understood what the hippie smiling guy in front of him was saying, and his face suddenly flushed a little.

"How old are you, just say this, you are not ashamed. ”

"Hahaha, okay Sister Jun, this is not a casual joke. Mu Yinan scratched his head, shut up and stopped messing around. Zhu Jun looked at him like this, and he also smiled secretly.

"Don't be poor, the big test is about to start, and your mother asked me to call you back. ”

"Is it so fast?" frowning slightly, Mu Yinan stood up, patted the snow that fell on his body, and walked towards the martial arts arena without waiting for Zhu Jun on the side.

Looking at Mu Yinan's back, Zhu Jun also put away her smile, and a little puzzlement and a little sorrow climbed onto her handsome face.

"Do you still have so many things in your heart that you don't want to talk about to others?" she muttered to herself......
