Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

"Haha, you are still young, you will definitely be tired." After a pause, Mu Qing looked up at him, "What do you think about the future?"

Mu Qing himself was born with knowledge back then, and his experience was even more unimaginable.Looking at Xiaolin Lang in front of him, he seemed to be himself many years ago.

"Uncle, I thought, Lin Lang is dead, so I won't be able to be called this name in the future. And I don't like the surname Lin either!" Lin Lang lowered his head, rubbing his feet on the ground from time to time.

"That's fine." Mu Qing seemed to know that Lin Lang would make such a decision. "Did your mother leave any message for you?"

"My mother once said that if I can get out of the Lin Mansion, I can change my name to Mu Linlang in the future!"

"Mu Linlang? Good name, since that's the case, tomorrow I'll have someone go to the county government office to register your household registration. From now on, there will be no more Lin Lang in this world."

"Thank you, uncle!" Mu Linlang smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Why are you being polite? Silly boy!" Mu Qing looked at the cute Mu Linlang in front of her, and her heart softened into a pool of water. Finally, she couldn't help but reach out and mess up Mu Linlang's meticulously combed hair, which made Mu Linlang mess up. Screamed endlessly.

Mufu, which has been quiet for many years, finally ushered in laughter.

"Since you have come to my place, there are some things you must know. Even if you still can't understand it now, you still have to remember it. When you reach your age, you will naturally understand." After laughing, Mu Qing suddenly had a look on his face. Said to Mu Linlang seriously.

Mu Linlang also put on a small face, and listened to Mu Qing's lecture seriously: "Linlang will remember uncle's teachings and repent."

Mu Qing was very satisfied with Mu Linlang's way forward, "There is a record in the genealogy of our mountain god clan. The mountain god clan is the descendant of the four ancient beasts. All the men in this clan can talk to animals. But because this ability is very It is against the sky, and it is not tolerated by the way of heaven. Just like people who are good at divination commit five evils and three shortcomings, it is the same reason that our clan is rare. Therefore, there are very few men in our clan, and there will not be more than two in each generation. Previously, we They are just ordinary people who can understand the language of animals. Later, an amazing person among the ancestors discovered the method of cultivation for us people. In this way, through cultivation, the men of our family can not only communicate with animals Communication, if you have excellent qualifications, you can also communicate with the world, communicate with each other, and seek good luck and avoid evil."

Having said that, Mu Qing paused for a moment, seeing Mu Linlang's small mouth was open and looking at him with admiration, she immediately smiled, "Why do you look like this?"

Mu Linlang's eyes were very bright, "How can people of our family be so powerful?"

"Of course, back then, your uncle and I participated in the establishment of the Great Zhou." Mu Qing said proudly.

Mu Linlang looked yearning, "Really? Uncle is so powerful. But if this is the case, why does uncle live in seclusion here?"

Mu Qing smiled, raised her hand and touched Mu Linlang's hairy head, and said with a look of nostalgia: "The ancients said: When the birds are gone, the good bow will be hidden; Hu, it’s not a good thing to be a high-ranking master.”

Mu Linlang couldn't understand, but he firmly remembered what Mu Qing said just now. If he doesn't understand now, it doesn't mean he won't understand in the future!So he nodded obediently, indicating that he had made a note of it.

Mu Qing was very relieved, it seemed that his little clansman was indeed a man to be made, "Also, in this world, if there are no rules, nothing can be achieved. Everything in the world always lives according to the rules, and so do people. If people can do whatever they want, then the world will be in chaos. This kind of thing is not freedom, but chaos. Even those immortals have to follow the rules set by the way of heaven, not to mention Is it a mortal?"

Sighing, "Do you know why uncle can live freely in this small town?"

Mu Linlang shook her head, "Is it because uncle is rich?"

Mu Qing smiled, "You're only half right! If it wasn't for the fact that uncle participated in the establishment of the Great Zhou, and retreated bravely, he begged the Emperor Yuan for such a modest Zhuangzi as his foundation and lived in seclusion in the countryside. Is it possible to have such a comfortable life today?"

Mu Linlang half-understood, but he still tried hard to memorize every word Mu Qing said in his mind.

"At that time, I was living in troubled times. Only by raising the banner of righteousness and finding a wise person to follow can I save my life. Now that the world is at peace, and he is a good emperor who strives hard to govern, rebellion is impossible. But you You still have to occupy a place in the court, do you understand?"

Mu Linlang blinked and didn't understand: "I don't understand? If this is the case, what should I do to gain a place in the court?"

"Most people will choose to take the imperial examination and climb up step by step. Some people will choose to join the army and go to the frontier for a few years to accumulate some military merits. If they are lucky, they can even get a good job. Noble title. Although such titles are not very high, they are not as good as the top, and more than the bottom, as long as you don’t risk your life, you will have enough for your life.”

"Then I..." Mu Linlang found that her little head was a little tangled.

"Hehe, silly boy, you are still young. You have to go to know how to go in the future. Uncle told you this, but he is afraid that you are young and have abilities far beyond ordinary people. I am afraid that you will It’s all just getting lost in the pleasure brought by this power. But having said that, you have to work hard to learn the books you should read and the skills you should learn. The so-called opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.” Wood Qing has an unpredictable expression on his face.

At this time, a servant girl came over and invited the two of them to have dinner.Mu Qing took Mu Linlang directly to the dining room.When he got to the table, Mu Linlang found that the table was full of good ingredients that made people drool just looking at them, but he couldn't name the dishes.

Mu Linlang, who was hungry for a few meals, stared straight at the food on the table with her big round eyes and refused to put it down, that small appearance almost made Mu Qing cute.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Look at your useless appearance, your saliva is almost drooling. Come on, let's eat." Mu Qing took the lead to sit on the main seat, and at the same time called Mu Linlang to come over for dinner.

Subconsciously, Mu Linlang raised her sleeves, wiped her mouth, and stuck out her tongue out of embarrassment after she realized it.

"Uncle, what a good day today, I have never eaten so many dishes."

"It's for you. What's the matter? You haven't eaten these dishes? Lin Hai's official residence in Yangzhou is a fat censor. You haven't eaten these?" Mu Qing frowned, but she didn't like Lin Hai. It made a very bad impression, which directly caused Mu Qing's impression of Lin Hai to be greatly reduced.

Mu Linlang didn't care at all, "My father doesn't care about the backyard. He said that women should be in charge of it. He's a big man, how can he think about those little things like sesame and mung beans every day? "

Mu Qing sneered, "Hey, pedantic! No wonder he got involved in the battle for the throne!"

Mu Linlang couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up the piece of braised pork closest to her, and started eating.While eating, he asked inarticulately: "The struggle for the throne? What is that?"

Mu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish ribs, stuffed it directly into Mu Linlang's mouth, and said with a smile: "Eat yours! Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, every child has ears but no mouth, understand ?"

Mu Linlang nodded hastily: "Understood!" She finally swallowed what was in her mouth, picked up the chicken soup that the maid helped him scoop up, and drank it in big gulps.

Gudu Gudu drank a few big gulps, and finally ate all the food into his stomach.He patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, Emma, ​​I almost choked to death.

"It turns out that braised pork is so delicious. When my mother was here, I could still eat some meat scraps. When my mother was gone, there was no oil in the dishes. I heard from the maid who served me that this It was all instigated by my aunt's nanny, she is the head wife's confidant, and the people below dare not say anything. If it wasn't for Xiaobai and the others who brought me something to eat from time to time, I would have starved to death. "

Mu Qing sighed, most of the men in his clan were born in hardships when they were young, just like him, when he was in troubled times, although his parents loved him, in order for him to survive, his parents would rather starve to death , and leave him the last bite.If he hadn't found the lord later, and won the trust of that person with his innate ability, he would have had a place just now.Otherwise, it is unknown whether there is Mu Qing in this world now...

Today's Linlang, it seems that the life of the first three years was also very bitter.After all, it is very difficult for the eldest son of a concubine to earn a living under the hands of his aunt.If it weren't for this, Mu Linlang wouldn't be Mu Linlang today.

The softest nerve in her heart was touched, and Mu Qing couldn't stop serving dishes for Mu Linlang, "Eat more, seeing how thin you are. Don't worry, this will be your home from now on." .”

Mu Linlang kept stuffing food into her mouth until her stomach was so full that she couldn't eat any more.

Mu Linlang has grown up to such a big age, and has never been able to eat enough. Today, he finally experienced it. At this time, he was already too old to walk.Leaning weakly on the chair, he asked the maid to feed him hawthorn water with his small belly.

Mu Qing watched and shook her head. According to Mu Linlang's current appearance, it is unnecessary to let him walk out of the dining room by himself.Resigned to his fate, he stepped forward and hugged Mu Linlang who was groaning. He rejected the servant girl's offer to take over, and carried Mu Linlang into the hall by himself, and even rubbed his stomach.Wait until he feels better, and then take him to the back garden to digest food.
