When Mu Jie thought of Aunt Yang who was so nice and so gentle every time she talked to him, he couldn't help feeling sad and opened his mouth wide to howl.
Huo Nian looked at him blankly, and it took him a long time to react.
"My mother is fine!"
"Ah?" Mu Jie put away her tears and looked at Huo Nian with bulging eyes.
"You heard wrong. What I mean is that your mother is gone. No one will laugh at you when you cry. Your mother knows that you are thinking of him. Even if she is somewhere else and can't see you, she is still very happy in her heart.
.”
Ah, is that so? He heard it wrong just now.
It turns out I heard it wrong.
Mu Jie nodded fiercely: "Yes, I miss my mother. It's not embarrassing if I cry."
After a pause, he walked next to Huo Nian and said, "My mother knows that I am thinking of her, and she will be happy elsewhere, right?"
Huo Nian nodded affirmatively: "Yes, they will be happy knowing that we miss them."
Mu Jie felt that Huo Nian's words were strange, but he didn't care. The two talked about their mother for a while, read travel notes for a while, and then went to do their homework.
Mu Yan got a hardcover version of Huo Nian's travel notes. He flipped through them carefully and kept nodding. He looked at almost every scene with a message of advice written down on it, and raised his lips.
Little liar, he has a purpose in everything he does.
But just print a few dozen copies, distribute them to Huo Nian's classmates, and read them behind closed doors. What effect will they have?
After thinking about it, I took a travel journal and went on a business trip.
During his errands, he took it out of his pocket and read it. Seeing that he was looking at it with great interest, Ye Chen came over and said, "What good thing are you hiding and looking at?" He snatched it away.
Once you see it, you can take in it. It’s not awkward or difficult to understand, it’s full of straightforward, lively and interesting language, with some childishness. It’s also accompanied by pictures.
Traveling upstream from the Yangtze River, almost all the scenery and scenery along the way are written down, and coupled with pictures, it feels like you are immersed in the scene, and there is a small story in every place.
"I haven't left the capital yet." Ye Chen couldn't bear to return it to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan tried to grab it, but Ye Chen refused. He tried to dodge, but was snatched away by a hand stretched out from the thorn.
"Whatever good thing is, it's worth grabbing."
The two of them looked at each other and said, "Emperor's grandson."
The emperor's grandson ignored them and just flipped through the book in his hand. The more he read, the more interesting it became. There was also the content of his emperor's grandmother's book of advice.
"It's really interesting, but the writing is a bit immature, Huo Nian? Who is this?"
Mu Yan replied: "He is a little friend. He is not yet ten years old."
"Oh, no wonder. But the writing is very good. You can write such a travel diary when you are less than ten years old. It is very good." I think he followed the emperor's grandfather all the way north, and even went to Mobei, but he didn't write anything.
A travel diary.
Then he thought again that he was not going on a trip. He was immediately relieved. He closed the travel journal and asked, "Can you give this to me?"
"It's an honor for His Highness to take a fancy to it."
The emperor's grandson was satisfied and entered the main hall with the book.
In the main hall, Emperor Yongkang saw his beloved grandson coming in and smiled, "Why do you have time to see grandpa?"
"Come and see grandpa, you are free anytime."
"You kid." Emperor Yongkang was happy in his heart, like an ordinary grandfather looking at his promising grandson. His grandson was filial to him, and he was even more comforted.
"What are you holding in your hand?"
"It's a travel note, and it's very interesting. It also quotes the content of the book of advice written by the emperor's grandmother."
"Oh?" Emperor Yongkang was very interested when he heard that there was a letter of advice written by the queen, and he waved to his grandson.
The emperor's grandson walked towards the dragon throne and handed the travel diary to Emperor Yongkang.
Emperor Yongkang took it and looked through it, nodding as he read, "Not bad, not bad." He also heard from his grandson that the person who wrote this travelogue was a child less than ten years old, and he was even more impressed.
"Your imperial grandmother passed away, so I asked the Ministry of Rites to print her "Book of Encouragement" and distribute it to students in various schools. I didn't expect that some students would remember the contents of your grandmother's book so well.
It’s so accurate. Not bad, not bad.”
Emperor Yongkang was very emotional as he spoke. Looking through those quotations, he seemed to see the scene of the queen teaching her children and grandchildren in the past.
He turned to the title page and looked at it, "Huo Nian? Not bad, not bad. I will reward him greatly."
The eldest grandson of the emperor hurriedly said: "Grandfather, don't scare people. Since it is a book that my grandson likes, why not let him reward him. Grandfather, every move you make will be imitated by others, making the ministers guess about Grandfather."
It’s not a good idea if everyone misuses the Queen’s grandmother’s book of advice.”
"Yes, yes, my grandson is more thoughtful. Then I will leave this matter to you, Grandfather Emperor."
After thinking for a while, he said, "This book is very popular with me. I must reward him. Reward... reward him with a jade handle and a set of four treasures of the study. It's up to you to do it."
"yes."
After the emperor's eldest grandson left, Emperor Yongkang called Mu Yan in.
The emperor did not think that Mu Yan had no purpose in bringing this book containing the queen's words of advice to the emperor's eldest grandson and then handing it to him.
The emperor was always suspicious. Mu Yan was prepared and stepped into the hall.
"This Huo Nian is familiar to you?"
This Mu Yan cannot be recognized.
It is not a good thing to act as an official in front of the emperor and use your power for personal gain. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this Huo Nian is the legitimate son of a British official who has been living in the market."
"Oh?" Emperor Yongkang sat upright.
Emperor Yongkang didn't ask last time, but asked him this time, "How did you learn about this matter? Logically speaking, this matter should be extremely private."
"I don't dare to deceive the emperor. One time I bumped into Wu Youcai of the Wu family, who was the younger brother of the Wu family of the British Duke's current wife. Wu Youcai was looking for the whereabouts of his two children. I followed the clues and learned about it. I paid attention to it.
Later, Princess Changning passed away, and her cousin Mu Jie missed his mother day and night. His eyes were almost blind from crying, and his body was also sick. He couldn't bear it, so he told his uncle to change his environment and send Jie'er away.
Went to Huo’s house.”
Is there anything about Mu Jie involved?
"You mean, you sent Mu Jie to the Huo family to be fostered in the Huo family?" Emperor Yongkang frowned.
"Yes. In addition to Huo Nian, the Huo family also has a three-year-old son. Both children are kind-hearted. They accompanied Jie'er and helped him overcome the pain of losing his mother. Now Jie'er and Huo Nian are together in Mo
I went to a private school on the bank of Chou Lake and lived a very happy life. My body was well maintained, I could practice martial arts, and my literature class also made great progress. My fourth uncle was very happy. My family thinks about the good things of the Huo family, so I will
I always think about doing something for them.”
Rather than asking the emperor to send someone to investigate, it would be better for him to take matters into his own hands.
It also saves the emperor from doubting him.
Emperor Yongkang didn't say anything. When Chang Ning died, he was still in Peiping and didn't know about Mu Jie's situation. The child must have been devastated when he lost his mother. There was no one of the same age to play with him in Mu's house, so staying in Mu's house was really a good idea.
His health is not good.
He looked at Mu Yan steadily: "You did a good job."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
