Chapter 244： entrust

  Bowen said: "Mr. said that there is no winter vacation in the south. Unlike us here, the winter is so cold that people can freeze into ice, so we must have a vacation, otherwise the students will freeze to death in the academy."

Mu Yangling was taken aback for a moment, "Is your husband taking winter vacation because of this?"

"Winter vacation?" Bowen tilted his head and said, "Isn't it winter vacation? Our husband said this is called winter vacation."

"Yes, winter vacation," Mu Yangling said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the winter vacation is because the winter is too cold, will the students freeze to death in the academy?"

Mu Yangling went to hug Kejia and Bosi, and asked, "It will be the first year of these two soon, right? It's a big day..." Mu Yangling then remembered that she was probably still in Hanzhong Mansion that day, and she probably won't be able to catch up. Their one year old.

Mu Yangling went to find Shu Wanniang and said, "Mother, Bosi and Kejia's one-year-old father may not be back in time."

Shu Wanniang's embroidery action paused, and then smiled: "It doesn't matter if you can't make it back, it's the same for you to host."

Mu Yangling looked down at his toes and said, "I may not be able to make it back..."

Shu Wanniang put down her things, sat upright, and looked at her daughter, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Hanzhong Mansion with the little general. I have something to do," Mu Yangling thought for a moment and said, "Mother, why don't I ask my cousin to come and help."

Shu Wanniang shook her head, "Your father and you must be together, A Ling, this is the biggest banquet our Mu family has ever had when they moved here. Not only will the neighbors from Linshan Village come here before, but the folks from Chenggu Village will also come back, mother. It's not impossible to do it with your aunt, but the head of the Mu family must be there, this is an attitude, and it will further establish your status, and if you speak outside the Mu family in the future, everyone will not dare to object."

Shu Wanniang saw her daughter lowered her head and asked, "When will you be back?"

"Twenty-nine can be back at the latest." They launched an attack on twenty-six, and Hanzhong Prefecture could arrive here in a day. Even if there was an accident, twenty-nine should have arrived.

Kejia and Bosi's birthdays are on the twenty-seventh.

Shu Wanniang said, "Then postpone the birthday for two days. Your aunt and I can arrange other things. You only need to show up at noon on the 29th and go out to catch Zhou with your brother and sister in person."

Mu Yangling had a smile on her face, hugged her mother's arm and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely be back before noon on the 29th."

Shu Wanniang nodded her daughter's forehead, "You, I don't care what you and the general are doing outside, but you have to take care of yourself, you know?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I cherish my life very much. I know that as long as I live, there is hope, and if I die, there is nothing left."

Shu Wanniang hugged her daughter and patted her on the shoulder lightly: "It's fine if you understand, then when are you leaving?"

"Let's go at twenty-three."

Niang Shu frowned, "You're going to go for seven days? It's too long."

"Don't worry, the little general asked people to guard our house secretly. You just have to sleep at ease at night. If you have something to do, just follow what I told you, throw the lamp outside the window and light the hay below, and the soldiers of the fifth battalion will see it. come over……"

A handful of hay was always under the window of Shu Wanniang and her aunt, and Mu Yangling replaced it once a day. Shu Wanniang didn't understand why before, but now she finally understands.

My aunt disapproved of Mu Yangling's behavior of leaving home, and even more did not understand Shu Wanniang's failure to stop her, "A Ling is a girl, why do you rest assured that she is going out with the little general for so many days? Are you such a mother-in-law?"

"Auntie, A Ling knows what she wants, she was never a child," Shu Wanniang always felt that her daughter was fulfilling the obligations of an adult, so she should get the rights of an adult. She is not smart enough, but she knows her daughter, She is thoughtful and sometimes even inferior to her husband, so how can she treat such a daughter as ordinary people?

Since she supported this price at a young age and took on the responsibility of supporting the family, then she should have the right to dominate the family, and she should be free to come and go.

Therefore, Shu Wanniang blocked all her aunt's objections for Mu Yangling, and asked her to just prepare her things and leave, and she and her aunt would take care of her at home.

Auntie Shu Wanniang kept dragging her feet, and she was so angry that she didn't speak to her for two days.

"A-Ling," Auntie said with a stern face, "Auntie knows that you can do it, but you are still a girl, how can you go out with a bunch of men for so many days? And how old are you this year? Wait for your father. Come back, how am I going to explain to him?"

"Oh, auntie, I'm leaving tomorrow, why are you still struggling with this? My mother has promised, you, you don't have to do anything, just cover for me, if anyone in the village asks, just Said that I went to my relatives, said that something happened to our relatives' house, I went to help, and came back in two days, if no one asked, it would be better, and people would not dare to provoke our family."

Auntie glared at her, "Wait for your father to come back..."

"My dad will definitely not scold me when he comes back. My dad obeys everything my mother agrees to."

Auntie could only stare.

Mu Yangling gave Xiuhong a wink.

Xiuhong immediately climbed onto the kang and hugged her arm, "Grandma, it's getting cold, can our rabbits survive the winter? Do you want to cover them with a quilt?"

"Go, go, what kind of quilt to cover, take out the rest of the wheat straw, dry it and spread it in the shed, and then block the air leaks."

"Isn't the first birthday of my cousin and cousin coming soon, how many guests will be invited..."

Mu Yangling quietly slipped back to his room.

She breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the short knife left by her grandfather and put it aside, took out the sleeve arrow that Qi Haoran gave her to examine it carefully, and Bo Wen suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her.

"You startled me," Mu Yangling pulled his younger brother to his side and said, "You are walking silently, how did you do it?"

"Sister, what are you going to do?"

Mu Yangling leaned into his ear and said, "Sister is going to get something, I didn't even tell my mother about it, you have to keep it a secret."

Mu Bowen felt like a man who was trusted and entrusted to him. He looked at Mu Yangling with resolute eyes and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." He forgot what he wanted to ask before.

"Sister trusts you," Mu Yangling asked him to sit on the kang and whispered in his ear, "You are the only man in our family. When your elder sister goes out, you have to protect your mother and younger siblings, you know? ?"

Mu Bowen nodded fiercely, but asked suspiciously, "Isn't Dad a man?"

"..." Mu Yangling said, "Isn't Dad often away from home? That's why you are the only man left in the family. My younger brother is still young, and he will become a man when he grows up to be your age."

Mu Bowen looked at the short knife his sister put on the kang and said, "Men have knives."

After thinking for a while, Mu Yangling found the treasured sword inlaid with gems from the box, opened and closed it, and handed it to his younger brother, saying, "You have to keep it, this is for you to protect yourself and your family. A weapon that cannot be easily taken out, as soon as you take it out, you will see blood."

Mu Bowen clenched the treasured saber in both hands, looked into his sister's eyes and said earnestly: "Sister, don't worry, I will protect my mother, aunt, cousin and younger siblings."

Mu Yangling showed a relieved smile.
