"After seeing my father and mother, call them husband-in-law and mother-in-law."
"… "
Wen Zhongcheng hurriedly trotted to the front of the porch: "Young master, I just heard that the young master is coming, saying that Duke Yan has returned to Mu's house from his hometown of Minzhou, and is coming to us in a sedan chair!"
Gu Heyan: "..."
Gu Heyan held his forehead for a while because of the collapse, feeling quite powerless, he looked at Mu Zhiming: "You already knew that Duke Yan would come today?"
Mu Zhiming smiled and said, "So what if I knew it earlier? What if I don't know? General Gu, it's a matter of time before you say your father-in-law. You, just accept your fate." .
Half an hour later, the Duke of Yan, Mu Boren, and his wife, Gong Shi, went to the General's Mansion and met Gu Heyan and Mu Zhiming in the main hall.
They just stood still, and Gu Heyan gave a big salute: "I saw... I saw..." He took a deep breath: "I have seen my husband-in-law, I have seen my mother-in-law."
Mu Boren was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
Seeing Gu Heyan saluting, Mu Zhiming hurriedly stood beside him and saluted.
"General Gu, no, absolutely not." Mu Boren hurriedly helped Gu Heyan, "You are a first-rank military general, and your official position is far higher than mine, which is not in line with etiquette."
Gu Heyan said, "I'm a junior..."
Mu Boren: "Since ancient times, I have honored and humbled, regardless of age in terms of merit. The general has guarded the territory and mountains and rivers for many years. It should be the old man who gave the salute."
When Mu Boren saluted, Gong Shi naturally couldn't just stand and saluted Gu Heyan.
Gu Heyan didn't dare to take it, he was taciturn and didn't know how to argue, so he clasped his fists and bowed.
Seeing a few people bowing to and fro, and starting to lower their heads lower than anyone else, Mu Zhiming hurriedly said, "Father, although it's rude to stand up, but since we're a family, we don't need to care too much about the size of the official position. "
Knowing that his son is no more than his father, Mu Boren raised his head, blowing his beard and staring: "Mu Lizhu, did you tell General Gu Xiaojun what the idiots of 'law-in-law' just said?"
Mu Zhiming obediently bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Yes, please calm down your anger."
Mu Boren was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him.
Gu Heyan was so frightened that he took a half step forward and blocked Mu Zhiming behind him.
Gong Shi also grabbed Mu Boren: "Husband, it is absolutely impossible! You calm down!"
Mu Boren was just pretending, but when Gong Shi stopped him, he borrowed the donkey to get off the slope and withdrew his hand, but his anger remained unabated: "Mu Lizhu, go back to the house with me and see how I teach you."
The words "return to the residence" instantly confused Gu Heyan's mind.
He knew that he had to keep Mu Zhiming, but he just started to think about the language, Mu Zhiming has already said a lot of words with reason: "Father, the child also knows that it is not appropriate to live in the general's mansion for a long time, but my injury Dr. Xia, the military doctor of the Rongyan Army, has always been treating him, and if I go back to Mu Mansion at this time, Dr. Xia will have to run back and forth between the two mansions every day, which is really inappropriate."
Mu Boren: "Then you won't bother Doctor Xia with your injury. I'll invite another doctor for you. Doctor Xia, I will prepare a gift and thank you."
Mu Zhiming: "Yuqing, good or bad, just in reason, what I drank was a rare cold scorpion poison, I'm afraid that the doctor in the capital might not know about this poison, but Doctor Xia traveled to the southwest when he was young and knew about this poison, Besides, Doctor Xia has been treating me for a period of time, and it is quite effective, if I change a doctor at this time, I am afraid it will be a waste."
Mu Boren: "Then invite Doctor Xia to live in the Mu Mansion, and I will treat you like a warm welcome."
Mu Zhiming: "There are soldiers in the Rongyan Army who accompanied General Gu to the capital on this trip. They live in the farmhouses on the outskirts of the city. Many soldiers have serious illnesses. Doctor Xia will go to the farmhouses once every five days to treat the soldiers. He doesn't just take care of me. As a doctor of one person, it would be a bit arrogant for my father to invite him back to the palace."
Mu Boren: "Where is Doctor Xia going, I will let the servants prepare a carriage to take him there."
Mu Zhiming: "But Dr. Xia is a military doctor of the Rongyan Army and lives in the Mu Mansion. Others must speak to him, saying that he is a military doctor, how can he put the Mu Mansion first."
Gu Heyan: "..."
He and Gu Miao might not be able to talk so much for a week.
Mu Boren and Mu Zhiming are worthy of being father and son. You say a word to me, and you fight with each other. In the end, it is Mu Boren who is defeated.
Gong Shi hurriedly settled the situation: "Husband, I see that the General's mansion is quiet, if General Gu doesn't dislike it, let Li Zhu live here. After Li Zhu's body recovers, I will take him back to the mansion. It's not a rude thing to live in the house for a few days."
Mu Boren was just about to follow Gong's words and say 'it's fine'.
Who knew that Mu Zhiming said sternly: "Mother is confused, General Gu and I are already engaged, how can we say that we are close friends?"
"You!" Mu Boren was so angry that he wanted to hit him again.
Mu Zhiming knelt down on his knees: "Since ancient times, marriage matters have been told by the matchmaker and the order of the parents. Now He Yan and I have the word of the matchmaker, and I hope to get the order of the parents. The child can't afford to kneel for a long time."
Gu Heyan was afraid that he would really kneel for a long time, and was anxious and distressed.
Mu Boren: "Mu Lizhu, are you threatening me?"
Mu Zhiming: "Child dare not."
"Then why don't you get up quickly!" Mu Boren roared, "If you want to kneel, you have to kneel in front of the plaque of the ancestors. Can you kneel at the general's place? I don't know how to behave!"
Gong Shi hurriedly went to Lamu Zhiming: "Okay, Li Zhu, get up quickly."
Gu Heyan also went to help, and Mu Zhiming was forcibly pulled up by the two.
Gu Heyan: "Yan Guogong..."
Mu Boren coughed and interrupted Gu Heyan: "General, I just came here and saw the quiet moss path in the courtyard. Would you like to accompany this old man for a walk, General?"
Gu Heyan: "Okay."
Mu Boren and Gu Heyan left the main hall, leaving only Mu Zhiming and Gong Shi in the hall.
Gong Shi was not easy to ask, but now he is holding Mu Zhiming's hand and asking him about his injury endlessly.
Mu Zhiming asked disappointedly, "Mother, do you also think that I should not marry He Yan?"
Gong Shi smiled and said, "How come, my mother is happy for you from the bottom of my heart."
Mu Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you mother, so I feel relieved. I hope that one day I can get my father's approval."
Gong Shi hid a smile on his lips and said with a gentle smile.
"Silly boy, from Minzhou to the capital, your father, he is looking for good days and auspicious days along the way!"
