Bamboo Horse

When the emperor was angry, his blood flowed like a river, and his corpse lay down for thousands of miles.

The prime minister, the Xia family, was executed for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

The prime minister's only son, who just turned one year old, escaped under the secret arrangement of the prime minister before he went to prison. He was taken away by the prime minister's classmate when he was young, and the general Mu Zeqi. In the remote Mu family courtyard, there was no need to worry about food and clothing until four years later.

Xia Rong, the young master of the Xia family who is five years old, doesn't know why his parents died, let alone his own life experience.He was only told by General Mu who adopted him that he was the only son of an old friend of General Mu. His family name was Xia, and his single name was "苳".And since he was five years old, he has never seen General Mu again, and he is only accompanied by a wet nurse and a few servants.

Mu Zeqi invited his master to teach him how to read and write every three days, and sent people to send many lonely books, which are said to be treasures in the Mu family's library.Xia Chang was reluctant to accept it at first, but it was General Mu who sent a message that he must study it carefully and ask his master to conduct spot checks on a regular basis.

Due to the lonely environment, Xia Chang doesn't like to talk, and often holds those lonely books, sitting under the tree in the courtyard and reading for a whole day.The master who taught him was also full of praise for his homework, only saying that he will have great success in the future.

"The minister is a commoner, and he works in Nanyang. He lives in troubled times and does not seek to be known to the princes. The first emperor did not regard his ministers as despicable, obscene and self-deprecating. He paid three visits to the ministers in the hut, and consulted them on the affairs of the world. gratitude……"

"Master, take a rest and drink a bowl of mung bean soup to moisten your throat."

"Mommy, when will I see Uncle Mu again? He said he would come to pick me up." Xia Chang put down the book, took the mung bean soup from Nanny's hand, and sighed.

Mammy's eyes are full of distress and love, she really regards him as her own child.This child is really lonely, and the master of the Mu family is a military general, he is busy with government affairs, so it is inevitable that he will not take good care of him, and now he may forget to bring the young master back to the mansion.

"Young master, don't worry. The master always keeps his word. If you don't come now, you should have no time. You might as well wait a little longer, the young master."

Although Xia Ling is young, she has a precocious mind. When she heard this, she just gave a soft "hmm" and continued to study hard.Uncle Mu agreed to take him away that day, but there were conditions. If he didn't do well in his homework, the aunt in the mansion would not like him, and maybe they would drive him out.

"The peach blossoms, the flowers are scorching. When the son returns home, it is suitable for a room and an IKEA..."

Mu House.

"Madam, the limelight is over, and the events of the past will no longer cause any disturbances. It's time to bring Xia Rong back." Mu Zeqi sat in the main hall, discussing with his wife about taking Xia Rong back to the residence.

Mrs. Mu's Meng's eyes were slightly red, "Chang'er is really miserable, and he can't even know his own life experience. If he comes back, if he can't be given a bright identity, what's the use of coming back?"

"What does the lady mean?"

"Husband, Chang'er's mother is my handkerchief, and his father is your classmate. It would be bad for him to be humbled. Why don't you let him live in the mansion and get acquainted with the children first, and wait for the opportunity When you are mature, you will open an ancestral hall and adopt it as a adopted son, how about including your name in the genealogy?" Mrs. Mu said.

General Mu repeatedly said yes, "That's very good, I'll bring him in in a few days, and I hope Madam will take care of him."

"Do your best."

In the other courtyard of Mu Mansion, Xia Chang is writing. Although the hand holding the pen is small, it is stable and not chaotic, like a dragon swimming. It can be seen that he has really put in hard work.

"Master! Master! A letter! A letter from Master Mu!" A person rushed in, Xia Chang's hand shook, and a drop of ink stained the paper.

"Mom, throw it away." Xia Yan looked at the lines of words on the rice paper with regret, and said lightly.After hearing this, Mammy walked out with wet ink.

Xia Chang walked to the living room, and saw that the person who often came to the other courtyard to deliver letters for him was standing there, and hurried forward, "Uncle Chang, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Chang Yi was General Mu's deputy general, and he was only called a general when he was in the barracks on weekdays.Looking at the increasingly mature child in front of him, I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart, and I felt a lot of tenderness between my brows, "Young master, the general asked me to send a message, saying that you need to tidy up in the next few days and prepare to return to Mu's residence. "

"Really?" Xia Yan laughed when he heard this, "Uncle Mu is going to take me home?"

Seeing his happy look, Chang Yi knew how much he was looking forward to this day.Just thinking of that dandy young man in the mansion makes Xia Yan faintly feel sorry for him.He already knew the news that Mu Zeqi wanted to adopt him as his adopted son, but he didn't know if he could adapt to the intrigue among the families and form cliques?

"It's true. How could Uncle Chang lie to the young master? This is a letter from the general. You must follow the letter. When you first entered the Mu Mansion, you didn't understand many things in the mansion, and you didn't understand the rules too well, so The general has written it all in the letter, the young master has a good look at it, and if you don't understand, ask the mother, don't let people get caught." Chang Yi said with a smile.

Xia Yan nodded heavily, and smiled happily, "Don't worry Uncle Mu, I will definitely do it well!"

After Chang Yi left, Xia Chang couldn't wait to open the letter.Xinzu was five pages long, and besides the time to pick him up, there was also an introduction to the people in the Mu family.

The head of the Mu family is Mu Zeqi, the general with great military exploits, who is called "Uncle Mu" in Xia Chang's mouth, and the head of the house is Mu Zeqi's original wife, Meng Shi.The eldest son, Mu Ruan, is fifteen today, inheriting his father's temperament, and already has the style of a general at a young age.The second son, Mu Ting, is twelve today, the third young master of the Mu family, not as superb in martial arts as his elder brother, but he has great ambitions, and his military strategy is superior to others.The youngest son is the least worrying, his name is Mu Yu, he is only four years older than Xia Rong, even though he is the fourth young master of the Mu family, he does not do his job properly every day, causing the people in the house to turn their backs on their backs.Mu Yu is very good at talking, and he can find reasons to prevaricate every time, but no one dares to provoke him.

Apart from these serious masters, the Mu family also has two concubines.Mu Zeqi and Meng's Qinse sang in harmony, and he didn't want to have a concubine.However, Meng Shi was taught by "Female Virtue" and "Female Commandments" since she was a child, and she didn't want her husband to bear the reputation of fearing his wife, so she arranged for a maid around her to be a roommate when she was pregnant.That girl had a good life, she had sex with Mu Zeqi only a few times and she became pregnant, and was later promoted to be my aunt, because her name was Qiu'er, so she was called Aunt Qiu.She had a son and a daughter, daughter Mu Jing, who was thirteen years old, and ranked second, because she was the only woman in the family, she was loved by the Meng family; her son Mu You, who was only obsessed with poetry, books, landscapes and scenery, was only six years old. He has achieved a little and is also the youngest young master of the Mu family, with a pure heart.Qiu'er is an honest girl, she never thinks about things that don't belong to her, so her children also stick to their duties and never exceed the rules.

"As expected of Uncle Mu, even the family is so harmonious." Xia Yan commented while reading the letter, expecting more from Mu's residence.When Chang Yi came, he brought some new clothes for him. After putting them on, he really looked a bit mature, and looked older.It's just...too gorgeous.Xia Yan took off her clothes silently, carefully folded them and put them away, "When we meet for the first time, it's better not to give people the impression of being vain."

On the sixth day of October, it is advisable to migrate and clean houses.

Early in the morning, Mu Zeqi ordered his servants to tidy up the yard for Xia Yan alone, and informed the young master and lady at home to wash up properly, and wait in the main hall.

"Father, why do you attach so much importance to this matter?" After waiting for half an hour and still not seeing anyone, the six-year-old Mu You had already lost his patience.If it wasn't for his mother hugging him, I'm afraid he couldn't bear it long ago.

Mu Zeqi didn't tell his son and daughter. In the entire Mu family, only the couple knew the details.

Meng's Liu Mei frowned slightly, "The other courtyard is only a moment away from Mu's residence, it has been more than half an hour, could something have happened?"

"Ma'am, don't worry, I sent Deputy General Chang to pick him up, there should be no accident, maybe he was delayed on the way, let's wait." Mu Zeqi looked around, and suddenly said coldly: "Where did the Fourth Young Master go? "

The fourth young master is Mu Yu, the most troublesome young master in the Mu family. He inherited the good looks of his parents, but he has imitated the dandyism of those young masters. He never memorizes the books taught by his master. He never did his homework either, if it wasn't for the fact that he was the fourth eldest, with two elder brothers Zhuyu in front of him, and he was not too old, Mu Zeqi would have driven him to the military camp to practice.

"Back to the master, the fourth young master originally came, but he said that he forgot to take something on the way, so he went back."

"Forgot to take something? This little bastard, probably went somewhere to play. Forget it, he doesn't want to come, and he's missing." Mu Zeqi shook his head helplessly, "Where's Jing'er? I haven't seen her since. she?"

Qiu'er took a step forward, "Master, Jing'er is about to turn up in two years. These days, she is practicing female red in the room and refuses to come out. The concubine called her today, and she only said that her daughter's family should abide by her duty." , you should not follow people who have opinions, and you don’t want to follow.”

Seeing Qiu'er's respectful and polite appearance, Meng Shi couldn't help feeling pity for her. If it wasn't for her own idea, Qiu'er might be able to marry into someone else's family and become a regular wife, and she wouldn't have to follow such rigid rules for herself and her children.

"Jing'er is still young, so don't be in a hurry. If she wants to go out, just let her go. After she reaches Jiji, she really can't move around at will." Meng Shi held Qiu'er's hand, "I've finally been wronged."

Qiu'er was about to reply, but she heard a commotion outside, led by Chang Yi, followed by a small person.Qiu'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly led Mu You back to one side.

"General, Young Master Xia has arrived. He is waiting outside the hall now."

Mu Zeqi breathed a sigh of relief, and Meng's suspended heart also let go, with a smile on his face, "Bring it in quickly."

Everyone could only see a thin figure approaching slowly, walking steadily, with no bad manners, quite the elegance of a nobleman.When people walked in, both Meng Shi and Qiu'er were startled. The former was because Xia Chang's appearance was too similar to his friend's, while the latter was because of his beautiful appearance and unparalleled temperament.

Xia Rong walked steadily in front of Mu Zeqi, bowed and saluted, "Xia Chang, bye...greeting to Mr. Mu." Although he tried his best to stabilize his emotions, he was unavoidably nervous, especially when he saw that there was no one in the hall except Mu Zeqi. After that, there were other people who were even more at a loss.He just saluted and waited for Mu Zeqi to speak.

Unexpectedly, before Mu Zeqi could speak, an arrogant voice floated in first, "Daddy, I want him to be my school boy!"
