The little girl sucked her thumb, looked at the cake in Mu Feng's hand eagerly, and asked crisply.
uncle?
Mu Feng was stunned. Does he look that old?
"If you want to eat, take the pastries on the table and eat them!"
Mu Feng didn't care, pointed to the pastries on the porcelain plate on the table next to him, and said with a genuine smile.
"Thank you, uncle! Uncle is so kind!"
The little girl immediately jumped up and down the seat next to Mu Feng. She picked up the cakes on the table and stuffed them into her mouth. She looked like she was devouring them, as if someone was trying to steal them from her.
“Eat slowly!”
Mu Feng advised softly.
Unexpectedly, when the little girl heard this, her eating speed increased a bit, which made Mu Feng a little speechless.
Deng Deng Deng! At this moment, the sound of Qingyue's footsteps came from outside the house.
Mu Feng looked around and saw a beautiful woman with graceful figure and graceful appearance walking in, supported by two maids.
Behind the beautiful woman, there was also a heroic woman wearing armor and a ponytail.
The beautiful woman saw Mu Feng sitting in the side hall at a glance, her beautiful eyes rolled, and she bowed with grace: "I am Tang Mu, the principal wife of the Lord of the Territory! I have met Lord Mu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy!"
Mu Feng stood up and returned the greeting, feeling surprised. He did not expect that the wife of the domain lord came to receive him.
"This is my eldest daughter Suo Wuzhao!"
Tang Mu pointed at the heroic woman behind him and introduced her with a smile.
"Suo Wuzhao has met Mr. Mu!"
The heroic woman stepped forward and cupped her fists.
Mu Feng also returned the gift. At this time, he found a small hand pulling the hem of his clothes.
Mu Feng looked down and saw that the little girl, whose cheeks were still bulging, was looking at him expectantly with her big eyes, and pointed at the unfinished pastry in his hand, chewing the pastry in her mouth while mumbling.
He said unclearly: "Uncle! Do you still eat?
Don’t waste it if you don’t eat it!”
"..." Mu Feng was speechless for a while. This little girl is really a foodie, since she also coveted the pastries he had eaten.
He silently glanced at the table and found that the pastries on it were empty. Then he silently handed the pastries in his hand to the little girl.
Tang Mu, a beautiful woman who was originally smiling, also noticed the little girl holding Mu Feng's clothes, and the smile on her face suddenly stiffened.
Suo Wuzhao's pupils shrank even more, and his expression changed.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Mu's sharp voice came from the entire side hall: "Suo Zhiyi, if you don't study hard in a private school, why did you sneak out?
You are eating secretly again. How many times has mother told you that girls should be dignified and virtuous? How can you be greedy and lazy?
Put it down quickly!"
The sharp sound like a lion's roar spread throughout the side hall, making Mu Feng feel that his ears were about to be deafened.
The little girl quickly stuffed the pastry into the end like a conditioned reflex, then covered her ears, and her big eyes rolled around, obviously she was on guard.
"Wu Zhao! If you don't take your sister away yet, don't embarrass yourself here!"
Tang Mu was trembling with anger and said to the heroic girl behind him.
"yes!"
Suo Wuzhao was obviously a little afraid of his mother. He stepped on the sole of his foot and appeared in front of the little girl like lightning. Then he held her in his arms and left the side hall directly.
Soon, only Mu Feng, Tang Mu and two maids were left in the side hall.
"Mr. Mu! I made you laugh! That is my little daughter Suo Zhidao. She is still young and childish. If she causes you any trouble, I am here to apologize to you!"
Tang Mu straightened his clothes, with a slightly forced smile on his face.
"Madam, you are serious! Zhiyi is innocent and follows her heart. I think this is very good!"
Mu Feng said politely and continued: "By the way! Territory Lord, he..." Tang Mu apologized: "Mr. Mu! I'm really sorry. My husband is encircling and suppressing many bandits on the border of the Western Region. I'm afraid it will take some time before we can
Come back, that’s why I took the liberty to come to receive Mr. Mu!”
Mu Feng felt a little disappointed. He did not expect that Suo Yu was not in the Territory Lord's Mansion by such an unfortunate coincidence.
"Approximately how long will it take?"
Mu Feng asked.
"As little as half a month, as much as a month! By the way, why did Mr. Mu come here for this trip?
Can you tell me about it?"
Tang Mu asked curiously.
Mu Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal! I came here mainly for the Dragon Burial Cave. I heard that the Western Desert Territory Lord has one of the few geographical maps of the Dragon Burial Cave.
, I came here to ask for help!"
Tang Mu, who was originally smiling, frowned without a trace after hearing about Dragon Burial Cave.
"It turns out that I came here because of the Dragon Burial Cave. This matter is of great importance, and I can't be the master! Let's do this. If Lord Mu doesn't mind, let's live in the Domain Lord's Mansion for a while! After the Domain Lord comes back,
How about you discuss this matter with him then?"
Tang Mu smiled.
"Then there's Mrs. Lao!"
Mu Feng bowed.
Next, Tang Mu took Mu Feng to the main hall and personally arranged a quiet and quiet courtyard loft for Mu Feng.
"Mom! Why did you place this man near my boudoir?
Moreover, the location here is the best in our Domain Lord's Mansion, and it has always been used to entertain the most distinguished guests! How can this young man have such qualifications? "
Not long after Tang Mu said goodbye to Mu Feng, she met Suo Wuzhao on a nearby bamboo forest path. At this moment, Suo Wuzhao was still holding Suo Zhiyi. She glanced at the house behind her and said with an upturned eyebrow.
Tang Mu said in a deep voice: "Wu Zhao! Mom, this is for your own good. You see, although mom is the first wife, the two children she gave birth to are girls, while your baby mother gave birth to two sons for your father!"
"Over the years, you have also seen that your mother, the main wife, is getting less and less attention, while your little mother is in the spotlight.
If your mother and I don't do something, the position of the principal wife will not be guaranteed by then!"
Suo Wuzhao was silent for a moment and said, "What does that have to do with this?"
Tang Mu's beautiful eyes flickered and he whispered: "You may not know something! This Mu Feng has an unusual origin. It is said that he is a young master, and he was also appointed as a Hanlin bachelor by His Majesty! Do you know what a Hanlin bachelor means?
?”
"Mom! Hanlin bachelor, can you eat it?"
Suo Zhiyi suddenly interrupted, looking straight at Tang Mu with his big eyes, and hung up again.
"..." "..." Suo Wuzhao shook his head. He didn't understand the official hierarchy at all. Although she was a woman, she had not been able to study since she was a child. She liked to dance with guns and swords, so she embarked on the path of martial arts early.
.
Moreover, Suo Wuzhao's talent is also very strong. He is only twenty years old this year, and his cultivation level is already that of Wuzong.
His talent is considered to be at the top level among the entire younger generation of the Holy Dynasty. Of course, there is still a certain gap between him and the prince, the witch of the evil demon sect, the Buddhist son of the Qianfo sect, and other top powers.
"Hanlin Bachelor! It means that he has the qualifications to join the cabinet. In other words, this young man is very likely to join the cabinet in the future and become a cabinet bachelor!"
Tang Mu said with some excitement.
Suo Wuzhao understood this. The cabinet and the six ministries were the two major power agencies of the imperial court. Although she didn't understand official positions, she also knew about the cabinet and this power agency that had power over both the government and the opposition.
