After breakfast, Shengse came over with a few soldiers, saying that they were sent by Lieutenant General Lu to go hunting in the mountains. Chen Wu went with a few guards, while Zhao Zisheng stayed behind and took a few other people to dig soil.
Make a house with mud.
As soon as Mu Lingxue sat down with her brother, Shuizhu knew at the first glance that he was going to talk about her, so he found a way to hide out, and then Murong Gang's eyes came back.
But before he could say anything, a woman came to the door. After bowing, she said, "Vice General Lu heard that a house is going to be built here, so I asked my servant to come over and see if there is anything I can do to help."
"This will trouble mom. Just bring more wood." Mu Lingxue thought that she must be an outsider, so she didn't want others to work too hard, so she found the easiest one.
The mother-in-law looked embarrassed, "Miss, the firewood in our camp is very important, and we have to go up the mountain to cut it every day. Today's firewood has not been cut back yet."
It turns out that the soldiers in this camp are lazy enough.
"That's no need. I'll just let others do the cutting. There's no need for you to be busy here, so just go back."
The mother-in-law smiled and stepped back, looking relieved.
After the people left, Murong Gang's face darkened, "Look, they are here to help. They meant something, but they are just some firewood. If the emperor knew that these soldiers are too lazy to even use firewood, now use it."
Try it now, I don’t know what you will think.”
"Brother, we have few people, so everything can be done easily. They have many people. Now he has sent people here first. I think it's better. We don't have to work hard and are not treated well. It's just some firewood. There are trees everywhere. Cut them down."
When we get back, we can chop it ourselves. It won't take more than a few days to cure their anger." Mu Lingxue understood that her elder brother felt sorry for these soldiers who were turning into useless people.
Murong Gang shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you are tired. It's just that such soldiers will be defeated instantly when they go to the battlefield. No, we have to let them change this lazy habit."
At this time, Murong Gang had already made up his mind and was just waiting for the order.
Mu Lingxue was too lazy to listen to this at this time, so she leaned close to her brother, "Brother, I told Shuizhu what you were thinking, what do you think Shuizhu said?"
"Brother, you don't have to stare so wide."
"Okay, okay, can't I say that? You look like you're about to eat someone. Shuizhu told me to make the decision," Mu Lingxue blinked, "But what should I do? I don't want Shuizhu to let me make the decision."
As a concubine, she is such a good girl, she has been taking care of me since I came to the Western Jin Dynasty, and I regard her as my sister."
Murong Gang looked unnatural, "I'm still a sister. Shuizhu is older than you, how come I'm your sister?"
"Hey, brother, we're here to protect you? Then, brother, what do you think we should do?"
"I will marry her." Murong Gang said firmly.
"What about my sister-in-law? Now she is pregnant with your child."
"An equal wife." Murong Gang promised, "I will never wrong her."
"Brother, in fact, I have never wanted men to take concubines, especially my own relatives, and I don't like women to be concubines for others, especially the people around me, but I believe in my brother's character, so I agreed to let Shuizhu follow him.
"
Murong Gang held his sister's hand. After experiencing so many things, his sister has really grown up. She is no longer the little girl who hides behind people and dare not say anything when she sees him.
"Brother, let's settle the matter between you and Shuizhu today, so that you have someone to take care of you. Otherwise, how can some grown men take such good care of you?" Mu Lingxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Aren't you shy?
"
Seeing that her eldest brother was stunned and refused to speak, Mu Lingxue looked over and saw that Shuizhu walked in without knowing it. Her face was as red as a ripe apple. She must have heard what her eldest brother just said. It would be better this way.
, and also made Shuizhu’s heart come true.
Shuizhu bit his lip and walked forward, "Master, this slave has something to say."
Ignoring the scorching gaze from the other side, Shuizhu said again, "I don't want this to disturb people too much. As long as I can stay with the uncle, I don't care about that. In this current situation, I don't ask for anything, so I only have this request.
I beg you, master and uncle, to make it happen."
Murong Gang stood up before he could finish listening, strode forward, held Shuizhu's hand, "Okay."
Mu Lingxue was also moved. Shuizhu was so sensible. It was difficult for her to have such a delicate heart. It was also because her brother was so lucky that he could find such a good woman.
"Shui Zhu, don't worry, I will give you an explanation in the future." Murong Gang raised his hand to tuck the stray hair behind Shuizhu's ears, but his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Shuizhu blushed and said, "Master, there is no need to say anything. I am not aggrieved."
Seeing the two people being so ambiguous, Mu Lingxue couldn't help but blush, "Okay, okay, since this is Shuizhu's idea, let's do it like this. Make delicious food for the table in the evening, and it will be regarded as a tribute.
, I will go and take some of the new quilts from the carriage to my eldest brother’s house in a while, as well as those things that are used in daily life, whatever is needed, take them.”
"Master, that slave will go over first."
Mu Lingxue stopped her, "You guys are not talking to each other. I will call you sister-in-law from now on. What kind of polite words can I say?"
Mu Lingxue pursed her lips and went out with a smile. Shuizhu was blushing. Murong Gang also laughed out loud, but Shuizhu was stunned. She didn't expect that the cold-faced old man could have such a beautiful smile.
Outside, Mu Lingxue called Zhao Zisheng over, told Zhao Zisheng what had happened, and asked him to plaster the house where he lived first. He also took out the quilt from the car and walked over to lay it out in person. After placing things in the house,
It's better than the deserted place before.
"Miss Mu is so virtuous, anyone who can marry Miss Mu will be lucky." Lu Liang stood close to the door.
Mu Lingxue turned around and saw Lu Liang coming uninvited. She couldn't help but feel sullen and smiled lightly, "Vice-General Lu is so free and leisurely that he has the leisure to watch me clean up the house here. Brother will be very happy to know this."
."
Lu Liang sneered disapprovingly, "The general is so busy that he has no time to take care of such trivial matters. Miss Mu, it's better not to worry about it. If you have time, you should think about how to help the general take over this military camp."
"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Lu. Since the emperor can hand over the north to the hands of the elder brother, he must believe that the elder brother has this ability. How can I dare to doubt the emperor's vision? Lieutenant General Lu said, right? "You dare?
Are you still questioning the emperor?
Lu Liang's face changed, and he raised the corner of his mouth viciously, "Miss Mu really has a powerful mouth. She speaks well. How can we question the emperor's intention? But Miss Mu still has to tell the general that her body is important."
He snorted coldly, turned around and strode away.
Mu Lingxue shook the handkerchief in her hand, "Bah, we don't know for sure who will be having a hard time then, we'll see."
In the evening, Shuizhu and Mu Lingxue cooked together. They steamed the rice, made pickled vegetable stew, and put frozen tofu in it. The frozen tofu was brought all the way from the capital. When unloading the things,
Mu Lingxue just remembered this. It happened to be a good day, so she put it in the meat and stewed it together.
He boiled the wine again, and in the evening Chen Wu came back and saw that he had cooked such a delicious dish. After hearing what happened, Chen Wu kept applauding. Although not many people went there this time, they brought back a lot of prey.
of.
Before dinner, Lu Liang came unexpectedly. Mu Lingxue did not tell his brother what he said. When she saw him at this time, it was as if nothing had happened before. Lu Liang didn't even take it seriously. He didn't feel guilty when he saw the person on the table.
After serving the dishes, he laughed.
"Brother came back from hunting game today and wanted to celebrate the general. Unexpectedly, the general has already cooked delicious food. I wonder if his subordinates are so lucky." He actually volunteered to stay for dinner.
Without looking at his identity, he clearly said he was a subordinate and acted like a nobleman. Murong Gang couldn't blame him for a meal, but Mu Lingxue didn't care about it.
"Originally it was just a meal, so it was nothing, but the soldiers were exhausted after a day of hunting. It's time for Lieutenant General Lu to reward the soldiers. If you were left here, wouldn't it be a good idea to let you go?
The soldiers are not happy, and besides, if my eldest brother wants to reward you men, he can't do it in front of his family members. Such rules have not existed since ancient times." She let this evil person be treated as such.
What did he really think of himself as, a thing without rules? If he hadn't provoked the soldiers he was afraid of causing resistance now, he would have been taught what the rules were.
No one in the room could not tell that Mu Lingxue was telling Lu Liang to remember his identity. No one spoke. Lu Liang was embarrassed and said with a smile, "The rules of the General's Mansion are naturally important, so my subordinates will not
Excuse me, I forgot to tell the general about something. The food sent by Prince Xian’s Mansion can only be eaten until spring. The general still has to think about how to feed tens of thousands of soldiers in the spring, which is a big deal."
Looking at Lu Liang's figure, Chen Wu sneered, "I'm afraid I've already set up such a big pit waiting for my brother to jump down."
"Today is a good day. No matter what he said, there are so many mountains, so many people are afraid of starving to death, and so many pairs of hands, still can't grow food?" Mu Lingxue had already thought about it, and even
I have even thought about what to plant that will satisfy my hunger, and I am just waiting for spring to arrive.
Murong Gang was not afraid of Lu Liang's threat, and Lu Liang's threat really annoyed him. Originally, he wanted to see if he would take action, but now it seems that it is better for such a person to let him settle down earlier.
Chen Wu nodded slightly at the side, already knowing what was going on in his mind. Without further ado, he called the guards he had brought into the room, set up two tables, and settled the matter of Murong Gang and Shuizhu.
In the evening, Shuizhu wanted to clear the table, but Mu Lingxue and everyone got angry and left with a red face. Zhao Zisheng and Chen Wu stayed behind to help Mu Lingxue clean up the house.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lingxue was too tired and couldn't bear it any longer. After finishing half of the cleaning, she fell on the bed and fell asleep. Chen Wuda didn't notice anything. Zhao Zisheng looked at it and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
