312 Afterglow (5)

As soon as Mu Chun walked past the gate of Yong'an Palace, he saw the old man lying on a bamboo chair in a corner of the garden, closing his eyes slightly and lying on the bamboo chair.

The sun was very strong, and bunches fell on the old man's body. The wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and face and the gray hair and beard made people see it very clearly.

Everything in the garden grows silently, enjoying the vitality of spring. Especially in the falling sunshine, the clearly visible dust slowly lingers and settles on the buds.

The old man sat quietly, and the sunlight falling on him was a little turbid for some reason.

Suddenly, Mu Chun's nose became sore and his eyes suddenly turned red.

It turns out that the Supreme Emperor has become like this!

"Come?" The old man in the pavilion opened his eyes slightly, looked at Xiang Muchun lovingly, sat upright, patted the chair beside him, "Come here, come here to sit!"

"minister...."

"Let's not use those stupid etiquettes for our own family!" The old man said with a smile, and waved his hand to Park Bucheng next to him.

The latter stepped forward and pulled Mu Chun, who had just knelt down and was about to salute, "Get up, brother Chun, I've been looking forward to you for a long time!"

Chun Ge'er is Mu Chun's nickname. He is 36 years old this year. In the early years, when his father was at the North Station of Guonan Town, he and his younger brother were raised by Empress Ma and the old man. The eunuchs in the palace called him Chun Ge'er to show their closeness, while ordinary palace servants called them young masters.

"Huh!" The old man looked at Mu Chun for a while and grinned, "I was handsome when I was a child, but now I'm so rough and have a shaved beard." As he said that, he looked at him again and said to Park Bucheng, "Look, who is the big and thick look with these big and thick looks? If I don't wear this python robe, what's the difference between it and a rough folk man? Haha!"

"Of course I will follow Young Master Ying!" Park Bushen smiled, "They both have big skeletons and strong bodies!"

"They are all stupid guys who only gain weight but not carelessness!" The old man laughed and looked at Mu Chun again, "You are pretty good?"

After hearing the old man's question, Mu Chun quickly stood up and suppressed the bitterness in his heart, "Go back to the Supreme Emperor, everything is fine in Yunnan. I am grateful to you for inheriting your father's business and guarding Yunnan. I dare not slackew, for fear of being defeated..."

"If you don't talk about these things, we won't ask about state affairs. Since you can trust you, we can rest assured, and the emperor will feel at ease!" The old man waved his hand, "Let's ask your family, your mother is good, and your younger brothers are good?"

"Everything is good!" Mu Chun felt even more sad. The old emperor in front of him was praised and destroyed. It is said that after he became emperor, his relatives refused to recognize him, and his heroes killed one after another. But this old man had only kindness to their Mu family, and only endless gratitude to repay them.

"Everything is fine in my family. My younger brothers are old now. They are very good at studying and practicing martial arts. They all shouted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and contribute to our Ming Dynasty!" Mu Chun said, "It's good that my mother, she often talks about you. Before leaving, I even told me to come and kowtow to you."

"She always said that without you, you would not be the Mu family today. She warned us sons to always forget the great kindness and virtues of you and Empress Gao, so that we can work diligently and live up to your old love for the Mu family!"

The old man smiled, "That's a heretic! Although you don't have the surname Zhu, you are also our grandchildren. We are watching it from such a small point to such a big one!" As he said, he instructed, "Your father left early, and the whole family relies on you as the elder brother. He has to take care of both the family and the state affairs. It will be difficult for you in the past few years!"

As he said that, he sighed, "Don't rush to leave when I come to the capital this time. Stay for a few more days. Go to your father's grave to check it out, burn incense to remove weeds, and chant."

Mu Chun held back her tears, "Yes!"

"Hey!" the old man suddenly asked, "Damn you, do you have a son or half a daughter? Why don't we have no letters in the past few years?"

Mu Chun lowered his head, his face a little embarrassed. In addition to his wife, he also had two concubines in his family. He was also a lively man and had a son who died prematurely, but for some reason he had no children over the years.

Seeing him like this, the old man understood and scratched his head with his hands, "Let's go back, let the imperial doctor prescribe you a few prescriptions for recuperation. That... after you go back, you should try harder and add more snacks. If you can't marry a few more women, wouldn't it be natural?" As he said, he smiled again, "Hurry up, while we are still alive, we can still help your generation. If we die, we won't be able to help!"

"You will live a hundred years old!" Mu Chun said hurriedly, "When I have children, I will ask you to give me a name when I am old!"

"Give more births!" the old man smiled, "Give more people to take care of them! You are a person in this life, help our eldest grandson. When your son grows up, they will help the prince. Generation after generation, we are always a family!"

"Hey!" Mu Chun nodded constantly and agreed.

Then he said, "I came to the capital and brought you some specialties."

"We have said a long time ago, don't bring anything from afar." The old man frowned, "Why are you doing that? Do you want anything in the palace?"

"It's all worthless!" Mu Chun knew the old man's temper and said hurriedly, "The terraced fields that my father was reclaimed in Yunnan when he was there were several years of preparation. I brought hundreds of kilograms of fresh rice, some of the dried vegetables that my mother dries, and the ham were also smoked at home, so I'll give you some fresh food!"

The old man nodded in praise, "Well, this is OK, it's much better than those vulgar things like gold, silver, jewelry!" As he said, he instructed earnestly, "Although we don't care about state affairs, we will also tell you. Your Mu family is in Yunnan, although it is not a king's title, but it is also a guard. Hundreds of thousands of people have been handed over to you. Let them live a good life and prevent those barbarians from making trouble. This is the greatest filial piety to us!"

"I am obeying the teachings of the Supreme Emperor!" Mu Chun stood up again and said solemnly.

"Sit!" The old man patted the chair beside him again and said with a smile, "To be honest, I shouldn't have let you go so far!" When he said this, his smile suddenly became bitter, with a little regret, "If you didn't let go so far, your father might not have left so early! We men wouldn't have been unable to meet for many years!"

In an instant, Mu Chun could no longer bear the bitterness that was pressing on his heart.

What the old man said was his affection for their Mu family.

At this time, the old man felt Mu Chun's emotional fluctuations and smiled, "I'm quite a big man, I'll have red eyes every time I'm not promising!" As he said that, he pulled up the other person's hand and rubbed it, "Isn't it embarrassing!"

The old man's hands are no longer hard and are still covered with old man spots. It is a world of difference from Mu Chun's hard and powerful hands.

Feeling the warmth of the elder's palms, Mu Chun could no longer hold it back and knelt down in front of the old man, and looked up in tears, "Grand Emperor, why are you... so old?"

Seeing that his true feelings were revealed, the old man sighed a little, "Silly boy, who can never grow old? We are all those who are buried in our eyes, and the old man waiting to enter the coffin!"

"My name..." Mu Chun choked, unable to say a thousand words in his chest, just lowered his head and let out a sob in his mouth, "Woo woo..."
