Hearing reports from his servants, the eldest young master of the Mu Mansion either went to the palace as an errand, went to the Yamen, or stayed in the mansion, and did not even go out to drink a few times. Zhang Fu was dumbfounded when he heard this.
How old is this kid, and he lives such a dull life?
Young people don't have much fun? His two sons all like to go to theaters to watch plays, teahouses to listen to books, and restaurants to watch cockfights and cricket fights.
Is there something wrong with this Mu Yan?
Not going to Hualou? That’s not what he meant. All civil servants and military officers are willing to go to Hualou. Everyone likes to go to Hualou for meetings. In Hualou, you can listen to music and enjoy upbeat singing and dancing.
What stimulation did this kid receive?
Zhang Fu wondered and regretted at the same time, why could such a good candidate for son-in-law not fall into his own house? Instead, he was snatched away by others. He lamented with regret.
But then I thought about it. After returning to Beijing for so many days, Mu Yan hadn't seen any women. Could it be that he lied to me? He didn't have a sweetheart at all? He just didn't want to return the jade pendant to him?
Zhang Fu felt that the score should be divided into two parts. On the one hand, he drew a picture of the jade pendant and asked people to take it to various pawn shops to see if there were any clues. On the other hand, he also asked people to follow Mu Yan.
Could Mu Yan not know that Zhang Fu sent people to follow him?
He is such a cautious person. He has been cautious about eating since he was a child and dare not sleep properly. How can he tell that someone is following him?
The men in the hands of the British Duke are also good at martial arts, but in terms of tracking and concealment, they are not as good as the men in his hands. After all, the British Duke is different from him. The British Duke has a smooth life, unlike him, who has rarely seen light since he was a child.
Mu Yan resisted the urge to see Huo Xi, and worked as an errand when he should be on errands. When he wasn't on errands, he would either stay in the house or go out for drinks and tea with a few friends with whom he usually got along.
It made Zhang Fu lament that he had lived his life like water from an ancient well without waves.
News came from the pawn shop that he had never seen a jade pendant with such a pattern before. Zhang Fu couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. What else could he do? He couldn't save face by snatching it, so he was so angry that no one would give it to him.
I locked myself in the study to calm down and wrote a summary of marksmanship for the whole day. After sorting it out, I went out.
Huo Nian was very happy to see this uncle again.
"Uncle, I heard that you led the troops to fight and won the battle! You also captured their king and his family. Uncle, you are so awesome!" She gave him a thumbs up, with both eyes filled with tears.
little stars.
Zhang Fu felt extremely comfortable with the children's childlike words.
These days, people came to congratulate him almost every day, and he was tired of hearing it. Now when he heard a child say this, his heartfelt admiration and admiration made Zhang Fu feel very accomplished, and his heart felt like drinking honey.
Somehow, he just felt connected to this child.
"I heard that you got a magic weapon?" Zhang Fu touched his little head.
"Hmm." Speaking of his Xuanshuang treasure gun, Huo Nian's eyes lit up, and he rambled on about how he got it and how he cherished it.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring it today, otherwise I could show it to my uncle." There was a look of regret on his face. He wished he could take his uncle to his house to see his baby now.
Zhang Fu smiled: "Let's see it next time when uncle comes. You have got a treasure, you must learn to use it, don't let it lose its charm in your hands."
"Yeah, I will definitely practice hard!"
Seeing the sincerity on his face, Zhang Fu had no doubt that this child couldn't do it. He had also watched this child for several years and knew something about his temperament. This child was really a piece of jade. The more carefully he carved it, the more lovable he was.
.
Zhang Fu took out the summary of marksmanship written by him from his pocket and handed it to him to read.
Huo Nian had a look of surprise on his face. He sat on the floor, picked it up and looked through it, his eyes shining brightly.
"Can you understand?"
"Some understand, some don't." Huo Nian read without raising his head. He put the paper on his knees and traced the words with his hands.
The more Zhang Fu watched, the more he liked him. Such a talented child was so hardworking and humble, and he began to love talents in his heart.
I wanted to take this child under my command and teach him personally. While thinking about this, I asked Zhao Duo to bring a gun and demonstrate it to him personally.
Huo Nian stared at him with intense eyes. Zhang Fu asked him to follow him while he was practicing, correcting his movements and nodding his head.
I want to take this child as my disciple more and more and teach him personally.
At the other end of the school, Mu Jie and a group of classmates were gathering together to read the travel notes written by Huo Nian.
Huo Nian gave a copy to each of his classmates in the school, and even his husband gave a copy to each of his classmates. As soon as get out of class was over, all the children gathered together to read and listen to Mu Jie's stories.
Mu Jie now lives in Huo's house again. In order to listen to Huo Nian's stories about the journey, he even squeezed into the same bed with Huo Nian. So he knows what happened in every place in the travel notes.
Pointing to a picture, he clicked on the man lying on the ground who was beaten and bruised, "This is the result of being seduced by beauty. If Huo Nian hadn't given him money to see a doctor, he would have died a long time ago. So you are on the way.
When you see people selling their bodies to bury their fathers, especially those very beautiful women, you must be careful. Don’t be beaten and thrown on the road like him!"
All the children nodded fearfully.
Fang Qi said: "We will not be seduced by beauty. All the maids in my family are good-looking, and it's not like I have never seen good-looking women."
Then he pointed to the annotation under the picture, "Look, the book on admonishing good deeds also says that don't do good deeds because they are small, but you must be measured in doing good deeds."
All the children nodded vigorously. Yes, you must be measured when doing good deeds. Queen Renxiao was right.
We got together to read the travel notes again. Originally we only read the text, but now there are pictures. Looking at the pictures makes it feel like being there. They like to read such travel notes. They feel like they have been to those places themselves.
Seeing Gu Yu pointing at a picture and asking him for an allusion, Mu Jie couldn't tell and scratched his head: "There are too many, I forgot about this. I'll ask Huo Nian!"
She grabbed a travel diary and ran away.
When I arrived at the backyard of the school, I saw a man instructing Huo Nian to practice martial arts. I took a closer look and thought, Huh?
"The British Duke?" He knew the British Duke. He went to the British Duke's mansion for a banquet with his brother and father just a few days ago.
Why did the British Duke come to their school?
The British Duke? Huo Nian was shocked. His uncle had never told him his identity, and he didn't ask. Was he actually the Duke?
Seeing Huo Nian looking at him in shock, Zhang Fu glared at Mu Jie with feigned anger for fear of frightening him.
He couldn't help but wonder, why is Mu's son-in-law also studying in Boya Shu? This Boya has a great scholar who he doesn't know about. He has attracted all the emperor's grandsons.
Mu Jie didn't pay attention to Zhang Fu's eyes. He ran over and looked up at him: "I've seen Mr. Ying. Mr. Ying, why did you come to our school?"
"Tell me first, why did you come to study here?" Princess Chang Ning is gone, and her son can't even go to a better school?
