Chapter 381 Fighting Techniques (2)
There is a window on one side of the hut, and the window faces the river, so you can have a panoramic view of the scenery on the river.

"It's snowing," He Liancheng sighed as he stood in front of the window, staring at the snowy river.

Mu Xiang didn't understand what he meant when he heard it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was worried about the military camp.

She put away her things, walked to him, and looked at the river side by side with him.

It was indeed snowing. As soon as they got on the boat, it was snowing. God really knows how to seize the opportunity.

"It's bitterly cold at the border. How is the military preparation? Is there enough food and grass? It's snowing here, so there must be deep snow at the border!" Mu Xiang is no stranger to these things.

He Liancheng looked at the quietly flowing river with a serious expression, "The current report I just got, the grain and grass allocated by the court, encountered ice and snow on the way, and lost part of it. I have to make more preparations for the grain and grass when I return to Beijing this time." .”

Mu Xiang could see from his expression that the matter might not be as simple as it said.

He Liancheng turned to look at her, "In the Southern Jin Dynasty, there was a big family with the surname Mu. It was in the capital. The Mu family had been growing and harvesting grain for generations. There were several pastures dozens of miles away from the capital. They were the Mu family. sources of food and horses."

"The surname is Mu?" Mu Xiang's heart moved, "Are there many people with the surname Mu here?"

"Not many, but not many. As far as I know, there are only three families with the surname Mu in the Southern Jin Kingdom alone. Among them, the Mu family in the capital, which belongs to the grain and grass family, is the most prosperous. The others are all small households. After the branches and leaves are scattered, they are scattered all over the place, besides that, the Yan Kingdom also has the Mu surname, but they are not very prominent, they are all very mediocre people with the Mu surname."

Mu Jia moved his mind and returned to his original position.

There are so many people with the surname Mu, and just one surname can't explain anything.But she always felt that there seemed to be something waiting for him in the capital.

"Are you going back this time to ask the Mu family for food and grass?" Mu Xiang looked at him and asked.After making a big circle around the Mu surname, the key point is probably here.

He Liancheng flicked his sleeves and smiled, "Xiang'er is still smart, yes, in winter, food and grass can't be bought with money, even if the emperor gives an order, it won't help. The Mu family has a lot of food, but the businessman pays a lot of money, so he is willing to sell it. , still have to deal with it.”

Mu Xiang said again: "Someone from the Mu family has entered the harem!"

"How do you know?" He Liancheng couldn't hide the surprise on his face, "Yes, among the Mu family's generation, a daughter named Mu entered the palace and became a concubine, her position is quite stable. "

"So, the Mu family's confidence is high, right?" Mu Xiang looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Then who is the head of the Mu family now?"

He Liancheng knew what she wanted to hear, so he stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, "It's that concubine's brother of the same mother and same father, Mu Qingyang, he is the young master of the Mu family, he should inherit the family business as it should."

The Mu family frowned and didn't speak any more.

He Liancheng thought she was also worried about the border affairs for him, so he put his arms around her shoulders, and comforted her softly: "I will take care of the border affairs, you don't have to worry, go back to the capital and let He An take you Go around, I have already notified that everything in the mansion will be taken care of when we arrive."

Mu Xiang shook her head, she really felt that she was doted on by Helian Cheng, and she almost lost the ability to take care of herself.However, she is more concerned about another matter now, "You should tell me about the Mu family in the capital, I want to hear it!"

"Really want to hear it?"

"Well, I want to hear it," she said from the bottom of her heart, like a thread that must be kept in mind.

In fact, He Liancheng knew very little about the Mu family in the capital. He didn't care about the affairs of the capital at all. He spent more time at the border than in the capital. He An always talked about many things in front of him when he had nothing to do.

So, He Liancheng went out, called He An over, and asked him to talk.

He An likes to talk about these gossips the most, and if someone listens, he can't wait to confuse all the words in his stomach.

According to He An, the Mu family in the capital originated earlier, and the current Mu Qingyang is the eldest grandson of the Mu family.

Above him, there is an elder sister, that is, the girl who was named concubine, named Mu Fengting, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, born beautiful and talented, she was recognized by the concubine at the age of twenty-eight. Sent to the palace, two years later he was favored by the old emperor, but he has not yet given birth to a dragon heir, otherwise his status in the palace would not stop there!
"That is to say, the Mu family's business was created by Mu Qingyang's grandfather. Do you know how many children Mu Qingyang's grandfather had?" Mu Xiang was most concerned about this.

He An scratched his head, thought for a while, and then said: "There seem to be three, Mu Qingyang's father is the second child, and the other two seem to be daughters. I heard that the old man valued his daughter very much. She was willing to get married, so she publicly recruited a son-in-law in the capital, asking for a door-to-door son-in-law, and she really recruited. The conditions for recruiting a son-in-law..."

So this poor scholar with a clean background stepped into a wealthy family and became the son-in-law of the Mu family.

What happened afterwards was all about the wealthy family's compound. Just a few years later, something happened to the Mu family. Mr. Mu's eldest daughter, son-in-law and several others suddenly disappeared.

Mr. Mu and his wife fell ill one after another after this incident, and his wife went away not long after because of being too sad.

After being disheartened, Mr. Mu handed over the family business to his second son. As for the youngest daughter, because she was born to a concubine, she was sent to marry after she reached adulthood.

When He An said this, he felt that it was almost done, so he asked: "What do you want to know about the Mu family? Hey, why didn't I find out that you and the Mu family have the same surname. Hehe, it may have been a family for 800 years!"

What He An said was just a joke, not true.

It can be said that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

In fact, Mu Xiang cares about these things, not because she wants to gain favor with others, nor because she is greedy for other people's wealth.

Most importantly, she wanted to find out the life experiences of the three of them.

"There are too many people with the same surname, and they may not all be a family. Let's go out and see Mu Lang and Caiyun." Mu Xiang stood up and walked back to the cabin.

When pushing away the room where Mulang and Caiyun slept, they found that they were wrapped in quilts, lying on the small wooden bed and fell asleep.
