Mu Xiaojiu looked at the very consistent expressions of these four people, and naturally knew what they were thinking.

Why do you do it when you think it's not worth it, it's actually very simple.

"As I said, there are some things that can't be measured by whether they are worth it or not. It's not worth it, I don't want to say how noble and decent I am, and I don't think I'm the kind of person who is chivalrous and serves the country and the people. I have my own calculations, my own scheming, and my own path that I think is right. ”

"But there is no way to compromise on this matter, and it involves the Central Plains, so whether it is worth it is no longer within my scope of consideration. I only know that defending my family and country is what I should do. This is one of the bottom lines of my birth, which cannot be trampled on, let alone measured by anything. ”

Zhuge Zheng looked at Mu Xiaojiu, suddenly laughed, and then nodded lightly, "It seems that my half of the brocade is not passed on to the wrong person." Wood boy, when are you going to leave? ”

Mu Xiaojiu pursed his lips, "The day after tomorrow, I'm in the capital, and I still have some things to do." ”

……

Mu Xiaojiu did have something to do—that was what he promised others.

said that he would go back to rest and sleep well after the morning court, but before he could leave the palace, he was pulled to the Shenhou Mansion by Zhuge Zhengme and had a happy fight.

After such a fight, he didn't have much to sleep, although he went back to the inn, but it was just a shower and a change of clothes. Of course, under Mu Xuan's persuasion and the warmth of hot water, Mu Xiaojiu still squinted for half an hour.

After getting up, getting dressed and draped in a big hat, Mu Xiaojiu walked out of the inn and walked in the direction of Sun's mansion. That's right, he is going to Sun Mansion to find Xiaoya.

Sun Qi, that is, Sun Lao's son and Xiaoya's father, as a member of the imperial court, he, like many ministers, chose to live in the same area.

Although the civil and military forces of the imperial court are known as a hundred officials, in fact, there are more than a hundred, and the hundred officials are just false fingers. Because of this, there are actually a lot of officials surnamed Sun, at least Mu Xiaojiu has seen several "Sun Mansion" and "Sun Mansion" since he entered this area, but he knows very well that those are not where Sun Qi's family is.

Although Mu Xiaojiu has not been to Sun Qi's house, Sun Laoxin has not been mourned for a long time, and at this time, in front of Sun Qi's house, there must be a couplet.

Sure enough, not long after walking, Mu Xiaojiu saw an ordinary mansion, with two big characters written on the plaque "Sun Mansion", the pen is powerful, and the handwriting is vigorous, obviously not from the hands of ordinary people. On both sides of the gate, a pair of elegiac couplets were pasted: the peach blossoms flowed away, and the bright moon and breeze swam in several places.

The gate of Sun's Mansion was hidden at this time, and even though he was just standing at the door, Mu Xiaojiu could still clearly hear the cry coming from inside.

Mu Xiaojiu, who hesitated in front of the door, naturally attracted the attention of the old janitor of the Sun Mansion.

"Boy, what's the matter with you?" The old man was dressed in linen and filial piety, and his face was sad, but when he asked Mu Xiaojiu about it, he was still very calm and did not have the slightest impatience.

Mu Xiaojiu sighed faintly, and arched his hand at the old man, "I also asked the old man to report on his behalf, and said that thanks to the grace of saving lives in the past, the boy Mu Xiaojiu came to mourn Sun Lao, and at the same time, he also had something to discuss with Lord Sun." ”

The old man got the word and was about to report it, but suddenly he suddenly realized, revealing an excited look, "It turns out that Master Mu is here, disrespectful and disrespectful." Lord Mu is so polite, he really killed the old servant, after the young lady came back, the master once instructed that if Lord Mu came, go in directly. ”

"Thank you, uncle." Mu Xiaojiu nodded, didn't say anything more, pushed open the door and walked in with a heavy heart.

As soon as he entered the door, Mu Xiaojiu saw that the front hall of Sun's Mansion had been arranged as a mourning hall, and Sun Lao's coffin was placed in the mourning hall, and there was a brazier burning before the coffin, and from time to time people from Sun's Mansion could be seen putting paper money inside.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but hesitate a little, it stands to reason that three days is enough for such a thing as a spiritual guard, but I don't know why, Sun Mansion actually ......

Perhaps it was the sound of the door opening that alarmed the people in the mourning hall, Mu Xiaojiu had just walked in, and Sun Qi and the others had already seen him. Among them, Xiao Ya's reaction was the most intense, she rushed over directly and hugged Mu Xiaojiu, and then said in a dumb voice: "Brother Xiao Jiu, you are finally here......"

Mu Xiaojiu gently put his hand on Xiaoya's little head and rubbed it twice, and then said, "Well, I came and promised you, how could I lose my word?" ”

At this time, Sun Qi had already brought his wife over, "Above the mourning hall, I don't care about my official position, Xiao Jiu, thank you for your willingness to come, this is my insider, you, if you don't dislike it, just call your aunt." ”

Mu Xiaojiu didn't say anything, just saluted Sun Qi's wife, and then called out happily, "Aunt Sun." ”

After meeting the three of them one by one, Mu Xiaojiu didn't care about others anymore, but walked straight to the front of the incense burner, lit three incense sticks, bowed respectfully to Sun Lao three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

"Originally, the wake should have ended a long time ago, but Xiaoya, the child, has always disagreed, saying that there is something to wait for you to come, and let her grandfather give a witness. But when I asked her anything, she wouldn't say. I wanted her grandfather to be buried as soon as possible, but this thing is strange, it is obviously a well-dressed mound, but this coffin can't be lifted. Even if I barely lift it, I can't get out of this door, and someone will hit my feet, and it's useless for me to do it myself......"

As soon as Sun Qi talked about this, his haggard face couldn't help but add a little melancholy, but he quickly turned into relief, "Fortunately, now that Xiao Jiu is here, Xiao Ya can say anything about it." ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Sun Lao's coffin, and suddenly his nose was a little sour, he didn't know if what Sun Qi said was a coincidence. Whether it is or not, he prefers to believe that this is because Sun Lao's soul has always blessed Xiaoya, and he wants to see Xiaoya's wish fulfilled before he can truly rest in peace.

"Uncle Sun, this time I came over, in fact, I just wanted to tell you about it, I know what Xiaoya said. When she just rescued Xiaoya, she said that she wanted to worship me as a teacher, I don't know what you think about this matter? ”

When he said this, Mu Xiaojiu was actually a little ashamed.

Think about it from the perspective of Sun Qi and his wife, her father has just passed away, and now her daughter wants to worship a person like herself, or a player as a teacher......

However, Sun Qi's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Mu Xiaojiu.

Stopping the urge of his wife, who was already teardropping to speak, Sun Qi gently patted his wife's back, then sighed and said, "Actually, I probably guessed it. ”

"Xiaoya, this kid, actually really likes you as a big brother, the last time my father brought her back, she had to talk to us about you almost every day."

"And this time, it was you who saved Xiaoya from the hands of those wicked people. To be honest, since she came back this time, sometimes she had nightmares and shouted not the names of our husband and wife, nor did she call her parents, but called Brother Xiaojiu. ”

As he spoke, Sun Qi's own tears couldn't be stopped, not to mention his wife, who was already a pear blossom with rain at this time, crying into a tearful person.

"Speaking of which, the two of us as parents are really incompetent."

Mu Xiaojiu took a deep breath, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Ya worships you as a teacher, I don't want to. However, I really can't find any reason to refuse, not to mention that she is so dependent on you now, and it is not beautiful for us to forcibly keep her by our side. ”

"To be honest, if it was before my late father died, I might still be able to stop one or two, because I really don't want my daughter to become a person in the rivers and lakes. But since my father passed away and Xiaoya came back, I have always thought that maybe it would be better to let Xiaoya choose by herself. ”

"I can even imagine that if my father was alive, Xiao Yabai would have supported you as a teacher. In that case, what else do I have to obstruct? ”

"However, you have to promise me a few conditions."

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Sun Qi's face that suddenly became serious, and nodded slightly, "Uncle Sun, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Sun Qi raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "First, you have to protect Xiaoya, as long as you are still standing by her side, you can't let her be hurt at all; ”

"Second, you have to bring Xiaoya back to have a look often;"

"Third, and most importantly, don't go astray, I don't want to see you and Xiaoya become the disgraceful people everyone shouts at one day."

"And ......" Speaking of this, Sun Qi suddenly hesitated a little, "Also, if my wife and I are not here one day, I hope you can help us take care of Xiaoya." ”

Mu Xiaojiu was silent for a long time before he nodded, "Don't worry, Xiaoya is in my heart, just like my own sister, I will definitely take care of her." And don't say that all the time, it's stormy and turbulent these days, but believe me, the dawn will come soon. ”

Sun Qi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly as if he had thought of something, he took a breath of cool air, "You, you...... Xiao Jiu, should you ...... again?"

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "That's right, this is what I have to do." ”

After saying this, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly beckoned to Xiaoya, and after Xiaoya came over, he said: "Xiaoya, your parents have agreed to let you worship me as a teacher, but Brother Xiaojiu has something to tell you." ”

Xiaoya nodded.

"Xiaoya, I hope you can stay at home for a while longer, I have a very important and dangerous thing to do, and I can't take you with me."

Looking at Mu Xiaojiu, Xiaoya suddenly stretched out her little thumb, "Brother Xiaojiu, I know, but you also have to promise me, you must come back to pick me up." We pull the hook. ”

Thanks for the recommendation vote without eternal love and hate.
