The reborn cannon fodder

After the first month passed, Qiancang City returned to normal.Merchants coming and going, laborers returning home, and all kinds of people have returned to this bustling ancient city, and the bustling market remains the same as before.

At noon that day, two carriages, one in front and one behind, passed the widest long street in Qiancang City in a low-key manner, and drove towards the south of the city.

Sitting in the carriage in front were Mu Changyun and Mu Zhuo who had been away from home for several months.Before returning this time, his uncle was finally persuaded and made up his mind to bring Mu Sigui back to Qiancang. Mu Changyun was very happy.And the younger sisters, I haven't seen each other for a few months, and I don't know if they are fat or thin. The closer they are to home, the more they miss them. Mu Changyun sat in the car absent-mindedly.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Fengzhu Mu's house, and several people got out of the carriage one after another.

Mu Xuanxiao stood silently in front of the simple and heavy gate of Mu's old house, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step.

It has been forty years since I had a big fight with my eldest brother and left home in a fit of anger.

At that time, I thought it was just for my dream, to wander the rivers and lakes, to become famous, and I will definitely not regret it.So I changed my name and surname, endured my longing, and never came back.

For many years, it has been turbulent, has been displaced, and has been full of glory.

It wasn't until he woke up from the dreams and visions of his youth that he truly understood what it means to be involuntary and what it means to be tricked by God's will.

The grievances and hatreds in the rivers and lakes made it difficult for him to return home and get together with relatives.

After a while, the temples have been stained with frost, and the face is full of vicissitudes.

He changed his name back, named his only son Sigui, and came back countless times in his dreams, but stopped himself with reason when he was awake.

However, the old man has resigned and has nowhere to go.

Now standing at the door of the house where he once thought his memory had been blurred, he realized that those warm memories from a long time ago were so clear that he never dared to forget them.

It's just that the young Zhang Yang who left home back then has full hair, and in the familiar yard, there are no longer the happy and open-minded parents who always laugh at him, and the elder brother who will seriously reprimand him but can't hide his caring eyes. Wenrou, the sister-in-law who arranged everything around her properly, and even the fat nephew who stumbled and didn't grow up to her knee height, also left with his wife after growing up, getting married and having children.

Things are wrong.

It took Mu Xuanxiao a lot of effort to hold back the old tears in his eyes.

My son and nephew are still watching, so I can't lose this old face.

"Uncle?" Out of politeness and respect, Mu Changyun of course wanted to follow after his uncle, but the old man suddenly stood still, and the surrounding farmers were all looking around, so are they standing here being watched?

"Let's go, let's go into the house and go home!" Mu Xuanxiao came to his senses and dragged his son inside, his voice was still trembling, but his steps were steady.

Mu Changyun was only thinking about his own girls, but when he entered the door, Mu Yi stood alone to greet him, and the others were all missing, and his face suddenly became ugly.

He sent someone back to report the news in the morning, what about people now?What about people?Where did my dear sisters go? !

Mu Yi greeted his son in a daze, and didn't see Mu Changyun's expression was unkind, so he just laughed and continued: "My lord, the two ladies went to the shop below to inspect the shop early in the morning. It is estimated that there will be You can only come back in the evening, young master, go and rest first."

"Mu Jiang and Mu He also went together?"

"Yes, there are A Jia and Xiao Bing. They all follow to protect the young lady, and the subordinates stay to look after the house."

Mu Changyun paused for a moment when he heard the words, and his expression eased, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. What happened to his sisters who never participated in the family's livelihood, so they suddenly went to inspect the property?He raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yi who was standing aside with a silly expression, shook his head, but couldn't ask anything, so he had to put this matter aside and let Mu Zhuo arrange the settlement of his uncle and his son first.

Uncle's courtyard, Tingxiao Courtyard, has been empty since he left, but it has never stopped being guarded and cleaned for 40 years. It was arranged by grandfather and father before, and Mu Changyun never forgot after he became the head of the family. Therefore, Mu Xuanxiao As soon as you enter the courtyard, what you see is not a decadent and empty courtyard, but a scene of exquisite layout and meticulous care.Even though the winter has not yet passed and lacks some lush greenery, you can still see the owner's intentions for this place.Once inside, the furniture was in good condition and spotlessly clean.

Now, the owner of the yard has returned, and the only trace of desolation and emptiness has disappeared.

The servants had just laid out the quilts on the beds and couches, hung up the curtains, and took out all the decorations. Mu Xuanxiao walked in, looked here, touched there, sometimes excited, sometimes emotional, and soon disappeared. The figure disappeared, leaving only the forgotten son and nephew standing there staring.

"Uncle Xiaotang settle down on his own first, and when the younger sisters come back, Chang Yun will bring them to visit the elders."

Uncle Mu suddenly became depressed. He was only a few years older than Mu Changyun, and a generation older. It was really sad to have three more nephews and nieces all of a sudden, and he had to prepare two big red envelopes for the eldest niece!

At this moment, a servant came to report that there was a visitor, and Mu Changyun left in a hurry.

Mu Sigui found his father who was sitting in a daze in the yard, and quickly lowered his head to count the ants.He didn't see a drop of those tears on the old man's face!

For him, the place where he was born and raised was Hengcheng. He listened to his father talking about Qiancang Fengzhu's old house since he was a child, and yearned for it in his heart, but he couldn't understand his father's homesickness.

He also persuaded him before, since he thought so, go back and have a look.

But there are too many people staring at Mu's family in the martial arts world, and there is also an enemy staring at Mu's family. My father refuses to say anything, and he dares not even let people see the slightest signs.Now that his family background has been exposed, he can realize his dream of returning home, and he is also happy for his father.

As for this eldest nephew, Mu Changyun, although he is a few years younger than him, he has all kinds of tricks and tricks, and his martial arts can directly crush him. His two friends are not simple people, who has the ability to harm him?It's just this worrying father who always worries about getting him involved.

"Mu's man has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Your father and I used to practice swords here every morning, and your uncle would come to teach me every day and fight with me. At that time, I always felt that your uncle had good martial arts skills, but I'm only interested in running the family business, I really don't have any ambitions." After speaking, he sighed, glanced at his stupid son, saw his head down, and quickly wiped his face with his sleeve secretly.

"Father, don't think too much." Mu Sigui pretended not to notice his stupid father's little tricks, and just passed on the news from his spies who stayed in Qiancang, "Just take a look, The eldest nephew is in trouble again."

Mu Xuanxiao took a look, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "It's unreasonable, cats and dogs from nowhere dare to climb on top of my Mu family!"

But it turned out that in recent days, the various industries under the Mu family have been inexplicably suppressed. Scoundrels made troubles, splashed dirty water to grab business, and all kinds of cheap tricks. The spies secretly tracked down, but found out that the imperial court sent Qian Cang to assist in the investigation of the Song family's collusion. On the criminal department officer of the pirate and Xie Shuo extermination case.If it wasn't for my nephew cleaning up a group of moths some time ago, I'm afraid many people would be bribed to do tricks.Just when Mu Changyun and Mu Zhuo were going out, the two young ladies of the Mu family took up the family property and came forward to rectify it, but they didn't want to be entangled in all kinds of ways again, it was really annoying.This person's official position is not high, but his status is not easy to deal with. It just so happened that the master came to Qian Cang, so he passed the news directly.

"Hmph, it's nothing more than that person's lackey, trying to do some shady things!" Mu Xuanxiao was really tired of his wife's enemy, even if the Yue family made a mistake in their judgment back then, they knew it and corrected it. , did not kill him all.Fortunately, he came back to take revenge, but he cheated an innocent woman of money and love, slandered her and destroyed her whole family, and even chased after the only surviving daughter-in-law.Now that his wife has been away for 20 years, he is still biting himself and his son, and now he is targeting his nephew's family. Isn't this crazy?It's endless!

"Go and tell Yun'er about this." After getting angry for a while, Mu Xuanxiao finally waved his hand wearily, and drove his son away.

On the other side, Mu Changyun was opening dead fish eyes, listening to the mouthful of spittle flying in front of him.

"Young master Mu, the young master of the Li family is also a cousin of your Mu family. Three years ago, he was elected as an official and stayed in Beijing. He has a bright future!"

"Mr. Mu, the young master of the Li family has been sent to Qian Cang now. He fell in love with your young lady at first sight. He is a talented man and a beautiful woman, and he is a good match!"

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Li's family also has a lot of property, and the eldest lady will not live a hard life after marrying!"

"Mr. Mu, the official position of Mr. Li's family..."

"Mr. Mu, the parents of Mr. Li's family..."

"Young Master Mu, that Young Master of the Li family..."

"Master Mu..."

It's annoying!As soon as he got home, something bad happened, and Mu Changyun felt sick.

The Ji matchmaker in front of her is quite famous in the Qiancang area.But the Mr. Li she was talking about—hehe, he remembers this person.

The Mu family collapsed in the previous life, and this Mr. Li Qiwen, who was sent to assist in the investigation, did not hesitate to reach out when the Mu family was divided up by everyone!Jump out now to recognize your cousin?What kind of family is it?His Mu Changyun's mother only had one older sister, and when she was mad at the outside room, she didn't have a single child left behind!

Since then, my mother has broken off friendship with that family.

An illegitimate child who was brought back by Fuzheng from the outer room, now has the face to come to Mu's house to recognize his cousin?

It's fine to recognize his cousin, how dare he miss his sister? ! ! !

Ha ha.

Mu Changyun maintained an indifferent expression, but his eyes became more and more ferocious.

As Matchmaker Ji talked, she felt that the room was getting colder and colder, and her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and finally she couldn't speak any more.

The Mu family is one of the most powerful families in Qiancang, and no one knows that the head of the Mu family protects the two younger sisters like eyeballs.Before that, the youngest son of the Song family wanted to plot against the second young lady. Looking at the fate of the Song family now, he said that this is purely what he deserved. Who would believe it if he didn't have the handwriting of the one in front of him?Anyway, she couldn't believe it.

If it weren't for the money that Mr. Li gave was rich enough, Juren's reputation was good, and he talked about the relationship between the two families in a wild way, she really wouldn't dare to come and talk about the matchmaker.

But looking at it now, the look of Mr. Mu in front of him doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of getting married, and knives are about to shoot out of those eyes!The poking made cold sweat pour out layer by layer on her back, it scared me to death!

Could it be that Mr. Li lied to her?

Damn, if she really offends Mr. Mu, what will she do in Qiancang in the future?

You said Mr. Li is an official?Officials can be divided into those who are powerful and those who are not. Mr. Li has only been an official for three years, and his family has no foundation. When the time comes, he will wave his hand and go back to Beijing, leaving her, Matchmaker Ji, to offend the locals in Qiancang. Noble family……

Thinking about it this way, Matchmaker Ji felt a little weak.Now that she has come and said something, how can this be redeemed?

Seeing that the matchmaker had finally shut up, Mu Changyun didn't say much. He gently put the tea bowl on the table in his hand, and said indifferently: "My sister will never bother Granny Ji, so please go back. Mu Zhuo, see a visitor out!"
