The building of the Mu Mansion is as low-key as a family, and the entire front yard is arranged for those diners to live in. When the Sui Dynasty was still in peace, the Mu Mansion also provided for some Jianghu people and ordinary people, but they never dared to keep three thousand diners at home . Even if he is only kind, but if he is reported by the officials, it is a serious crime of conspiracy. After the death of Emperor Tianyou, the Mu family's good deeds became bigger and bigger.
In the past, the Jianghu guests who came here because of their fame would be treated well by the Mu Mansion, and then each of them would be given a sum of money to send them away politely. It's good to just eat, but Mu's house still doesn't keep a single one.
After the imperial court's control became weaker and weaker, the Mu Mansion began to take in down-and-out quacks. One is left behind, and the others follow in an endless stream.
These rivers and lakes have all kinds of religions and nine streams, and they are of all kinds. But even when the thief came here, he changed his old nature and became honest.
That's why the people in Eastern Border said that Mu Guangling, the Patriarch of the Mu Mansion, is the real Buddha, and he is more admirable than the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions. Even villains who live in the Mu Mansion will turn into good people. Mu Guangling is well-known, but he is extremely low-key. He never talks about ostentation when traveling. Anyone who greets him, he will return politely.
Over the past few years, more and more people have been taken in in the Mu Mansion, so that the front yard cannot accommodate them, so a group of people were taken to live in the military barracks in the city. The people complained about Mu's grievances, and many of them were people who came to make a living, but Mu's people never refused, such generosity would definitely suffer.
Once, the people in the city spontaneously organized and condemned those freeloaders outside the Mu Mansion, and I don't know how many people blush. But Mu Guangling stood up to comfort the people, quoting a saying from the ancestors of the Mu family... It is not difficult to do a good deed with one thought, and it is not difficult to do a good deed every day, but what my Mu family has to do is to do good deeds all the time, so I cannot refuse anyone's help .
On that day, Mu Guangling said, "If it wasn't for the moment of desperation, who would want to send someone under the fence?"
These words are still praised by the people in the city, calling it the voice of great kindness.
When the idle diners at the door saw the young man in brocade clothes coming in, they saluted one after another. The young man clasped his fists and smiled with a gentle attitude. This young man was born extremely beautiful, with delicate features and a face like a crown of jade. I don't know how many girls in and out of the city regard him as their wishful husband. However, there is only one young man, and most of them know that they are not worthy of it. on him.
"Young master is working hard!"
A group of people clasped their fists in greeting.
The young master returned the gift, politely said that he had something to do and couldn't accompany him, then entered the yard, walked through the front yard and walked past the moon gate, the back yard was where the Mu family lived. The Mu Mansion has such a great reputation, but the family members are not very prosperous. Mu Guangling, the hereditary Duke of Ning, has a regular wife, a second wife and several concubines, but only three sons. This so-called little prince was his legitimate son, and he sent two other sons from concubines to Penglai Mountain to study art.
There are several young ladies in the Mu family, and there is a younger sister under the little father-in-law, who is also in Penglai Mountain.
Therefore, in this huge house, the front yard is very lively, but the back yard is a bit deserted.
"Why did the plum blossoms bloom so early this year?"
When the young gentleman entered the door, he happened to hear the middle-aged man standing in the yard admiring plums talking. He glanced at the plum tree, and said softly: "This year it really bloomed earlier than in previous years. How does father know that this is not a good omen? My son thinks that this year the plum blossoms not only bloomed early, but also flourished. It's a good sign."
He walked closer, leaned over and saluted: "The child is back, please greet the father."
The middle-aged man looked like he was in his forties. He had no beard, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He didn't feel old at this age, and he looked extraordinarily temperamental. The charm of a mature man is vividly reflected in him. Although his appearance does not look particularly handsome, his temperament is enough to convince people. There is no doubt that such a man is more lethal to a girl than his son.
Women in this era always like a man who is mature, stable and successful in his career. Mu Guangling is the hereditary prince of the state, with a prominent status, and holds a heavy army in his hand to control half of the world. In addition, he is handsome and has a gentle temperament. Such a man, if Beckoning, I don't know how many women will be willing to throw themselves into their arms.
Mu Guangling is about 1.75 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body, and his temperament is a perfect embodiment of the combination of bookishness and military spirit. He has read poetry and books, and when he went to Beijing, he debated with several university scholars, citing scriptures and classics, and every word was pearls. Emperor Zhenzong praised him as both civil and military, and a model of courtiers. And he has led the army for many years, and he does not lack that kind of killing spirit, so he has a little cold and arrogant meaning.
It does not reject people thousands of miles away, nor does it make people feel particularly close.
"This time it was very fast."
When Mu Guangling saw his son come back, a smile flashed in his eyes. This son is his greatest pride, not only inheriting the handsome appearance of the Mu family man, but also inheriting the wisdom and intelligence of the Mu family man. Moreover, no one on Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea has broken his son's record in previous years. When he brought his son back a while ago, the senior men on Mount Penglai sighed one by one, saying that if he didn't come home, he would be able to preside over the mountain gate in a few years.
"Beiliao people are straightforward and honest, so things are done quickly."
The young gentleman went over, poured a cup of tea for Mu Guangling, and handed it over with both hands.
Mu Guangling took the teacup over, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride for his son.
"Senior Su Yang originally refused to let you go down the mountain, but I sent a box of top-quality Lingye tea from Beiman Mountain to him, and then said a lot of good things to make him agree to your return. My father needs you by my side right now. , should also let you practice and practice, have you ever blamed your father for disturbing your cultivation?"
"Where is the father talking?"
The young master quickly said: "Even if the father doesn't invite the child back, the child still wants to come back after all the homework is done, but it's just a little earlier than expected. Besides, the child's practice at home is the same as that in Penglai Mountain. There will be a little more insight. Penglai Mountain is like a fairyland, away from the dust and smoke, the things that the child realized are also a little vague and hard to find, but after coming back, interacting with the people and the Beiliao people, I have more real insights.”
"That's good."
Mu Guangling smiled: "Jun'er, you go to rest. In a few days, my father plans to let you go to Mouping City. There seems to be something wrong with Yang Shunhui. Some people say that he has a close relationship with foreigners. If it is true, This is not a good thing. Foreigners are wolves, and Han people are regarded as sheep, so how can they make friends sincerely? Yang Shunhui has only just arrived in Eastern Xinjiang, and he doesn’t know much about foreigners, so go and remind him.”
"The child obeys."
The young son nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Didn't father say that a man named Fang Jie wrote to you, asking you to pay attention to the movements of foreigners in Dongjiang?"
"Fang Jie..."
Mu Guangling smiled and said: "It is said that he is a rare talent in a hundred years in the Sui Dynasty. From the fact that he sent someone to remind me to pay attention to the movements of foreigners, I can also see that this person has a high vision. A person has great achievements. After all, it is because of how far he can see. Although he is young, he can see farther than most people, so it is not surprising that he can achieve what he is now. Such a person, as long as he is given a chance, he can Fly like wings."
"Father seems to value this person very much?"
asked the young man.
"Your Excellency."
Mu Guangling said seriously: "Anyone who has achieved something must have something to respect. Therefore, no matter young or old, successful people should be valued."
"My child remembers."
The young prince bowed his head and said: "If there is a chance, Hai'er would like to know this Fang Jie. It is said that he and Hai'er are about the same age, and now he is already a prince, but Hai'er has just come down the mountain, so he is far behind. "
Mu Guangling smiled: "You can't think too highly of yourself, and you can't belittle yourself. No one can underestimate your ability, and those who underestimate you will not end well. You will definitely have a chance to meet Fang Jie in the future... If he can If you remain undefeated from such a chaotic situation in the west."
"I named you Mu Xianjun, but I don't really want you to be an idle person who lives happily for the rest of his life."
Mu Guangling smiled.
"Children don't dare to be idle."
Mu Xianjun raised his chin slightly and said: "Recreation and cultivation should only be done when you are old. When you are young, how can you have free time? My child just thinks that the world is not enough. When I was young, I squeezed time more. When you get old, you will have more time to enjoy leisure, right?"
"Ha ha."
Mu Guangling laughed loudly: "Well said!"

A few quacks got together and chatted in a low voice. The reason for the chat was to keep their voices down because the topic they were talking about was a little sensitive.
"Grandpa really doesn't seem to have that kind of thought?"
One of them said with some disappointment: "Now the world is in such chaos, only because of the presence of the Lord, the eastern half of the world can be as stable as before. Speaking of which, if it were another person guarding the east, it would have been in chaos long ago. In fact, now the father-in-law only needs to climb up and call, and see how many people are willing to follow! Who in this world can take it? It’s better to leave it to someone like the father-in-law.”
"You know, I know, everyone knows."
Another person said: "But my lord just doesn't have that kind of thought, so what can we do? It stands to reason that as soon as the Mu Mansion speaks, the 100,000 frontier soldiers in the eastern border will immediately pick up their weapons and follow the lord. Speaking of the brothers in the Jianghu, which one is not willing to follow the father-in-law to do great things? As long as the flag is waved, it will definitely not be a problem to gather hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant!"
"well."
The person who spoke before sighed: "It's useless for us to discuss here. I have received the favor of the Mu family, but I don't know how to repay it!"
"Who says you can't repay?"
One of them approached and said: "If you want to enter the army, you have to go through Shanhaiguan. Although there are not many guards in Shanhaiguan, there are only one man in charge of the pass. If we can find a way to help you take Shanhaiguan first If you do so, then the Mu family's banner will be planted on the Shanhaiguan Pass, and I'm afraid you will have to raise your troops!"
He chuckled: "At that time, we people will be the first to contribute!"
"It makes sense!"
"Cui Jiu, you're still smart!"
A group of people immediately became enthusiastic: "However, there are at least 5,000 people in Shanhaiguan, so how can we succeed?"
"There are five thousand soldiers, but how many officials are there?"
Cui Jiu sneered and said: "As long as we can kill all those officials, the remaining soldiers will become headless flies. What else should we worry about? When the time comes, as long as the army of the father-in-law arrives, we will not be obedient." open the door?"
"You are the smartest, think of a way!"
One said: "We all listen to you!"
"OK!"
Cui Jiu nodded: "Let me go back and think about it! You are waiting for my letter!"
He got up and walked to his residence. The people behind him looked at him with hope in their eyes.

Cui Jiu glanced at Mu Xianjun cautiously, and then flatteringly said, "Young master, it's done."
