At this moment, Hua Yi's eyes were also red. It was obvious that she had cried.
" Don't worry." Mu Yun pinched the tip of her nose and comforted her." I'm fine."
"Who's worried! I'll go and look after Lan 'er."
Hua Yi's cheeks were flushed red. She muttered softly and ran away with her head lowered.
Mu Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. Girls were really unpredictable. Mu Dingshan did not give him time to think too much. After comforting his family, he was pulled to the ancestral hall.
Mu Dingshan insisted that his son being able to become an official was completely due to the Mu family's ancestral grave. He wanted to report this good news to his ancestors.
In front of the memorial tablets of the Mu family's ancestors, Mu Yun was pulled to his knees and listened to Mu Dingshan's endless chatter.
" Thank you, ancestor, for protecting the Mu family and protecting my son's safe return! The unfilial descendants of the king of Dingshan, sacrifice to ancestors! My son, Mu Yun, has become an official, bringing glory to the family and ancestors!"
Mu Dingshan was full of pride towards his son.
Without him, the Mu Family wouldn't be where it is today!
Last year, when Mu Yun had just transmigrated, the Mu family was just a small landlord. They would not starve. However, due to the drought in Guanzhong last year, they had to help the villagers in the village, so the family could only keep their food and clothing.
In fact, he was already much stronger than most of the people in the world.
The villagers in the village were even more hungry. It was already considered lucky that they could barely survive.
Mu Yun did not expect to be rich and noble, but as a transmigrator, he did not want to live a bitter life. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for transmigrators.
That was why he wanted to earn some money to make a better life and bring the villagers to make preserved eggs.
The ingredients for the preserved egg were simple and easy to make. Moreover, it was a small business, so it would not be too ostentatious.
Chang 'an was never short of rich people. As long as the taste of the new food was not bad, once the market was opened, there would be no need to worry about sales.
In this way, the village's life gradually became better, and Mu Yun also lived a comfortable life.
When they came out of the ancestral hall, the little girl Mu Lan's anger had already dissipated. She ran over and pestered Mu Yun to make something delicious for her." Brother, Lan 'er wants to eat red braised pork. Make it for Lan' er."
In fact, Mu Yun had already taught the cooks at home how to cook Red Braised Pork. They just lacked creativity and copied the gourd ladle. The dishes cooked did not taste bad.
However, the little girl liked to eat the red braised pork he made. Mu Yun had not eaten it for a few days in prison, so he must have been craving it.
Mu Yun doted on his little sister very much. How could he resist her coquettishness? He followed her request and made her a meal of braised pork.
Actually, Mu Yun was also hungry, so he casually cooked a few side dishes.
The food in the prison was inedible. It was almost like pig feed. Sometimes, it was even rancid. He really couldn't eat it!
It was still spring. What would summer be like?
If not for Mu Dingshan bribing the jailer and sending him food every meal, he would have been so hungry that he did not even have the strength to curse.
"Look at how fat you are. Eat less meat and more vegetables." Mu Yun put some vegetables into Lan 'er's bowl.
The little girl was very gluttonous. She couldn't control her mouth when she encountered delicious food. In half a year, she had eaten until she was chubby. She was cute, but if this continued, it would be out of control.
He looked at her again. She didn't touch the vegetables in her bowl at all. She ate the fat meat happily, and her face was covered in oil.
Mu Dingshan and his wife watched from the side with smiles on their faces. Their son had returned safely, and the family was reunited. It was better than anything else.
Moreover! From today onwards, his son was an official!
After a full meal, Mu Yun returned to his room to take a bath to get rid of the bad luck and went to bed to rest.
Not only was the environment of the dungeon bad, but there were also rats, cockroaches, and lice everywhere. How could he sleep?
However, as he lay on the bed, he did not feel sleepy for a while. He picked a literary movie in his mind and slowly recalled it to help him fall asleep.
Not bad.
As a transmigrator, Cloud Herder had benefits.
Everything that he saw in his previous life was like a long movie that could be fast-forwarded or slowed down.
Even after working for so many years, she could read the elementary school texts that she had long forgotten.
It could be understood as having an extraordinary memory, but it was only what he had seen and heard. For example, if he read a book and did not open the next page, he would not know the contents of the book.
Previously, he had no intention of becoming an official, so he treated it as a form of entertainment. He watched movies, read novels, looked at beautiful women... At most, he learned how to cook.
That was to satisfy his appetite.
……
Taiji Palace.
After obtaining the Qu Yuan Li yesterday, Li Er's biggest worry was gone. However, when he thought of the Chang 'an County Magistrate, his good mood was ruined.
"How's the investigation of Mu Yun's background going?" Li Ergang asked impatiently as soon as he had breakfast.
Emperors were born to be suspicious!
The more important it was, the more he had to figure it out.
Moreover, Mu Yun's reputation had never been prominent in the past. It was as if he had suddenly appeared. How could Li Er not be suspicious? Naturally, he could not help but send people to investigate.
" The hundred cavalry have investigated the matter. Commander Li is waiting outside the hall." Yang Cheng replied.
"Announce!"
A burly man in armor strode into the hall. It was the spy chief, Li Junxian.
He cupped his fists and was about to bow when Li Er immediately raised his hand to stop him. He went straight to the point and asked,"There's no need to be so polite!" Did you find out about this child's background?"
"Your Majesty," Li Junxian replied,"this person's background is obvious. His ancestors were all from Xinfeng County, and his family has a few acres of barren land. He studied for a few years as a child, and when he grew up, he became a silkpants.
Last year, he had a serious illness. Due to the drought, the Mu family, as a small landlord, did not have a good life.
The Mu family had a conscience and even helped the villagers. Their days were even harder. Perhaps he suffered a bit of hardship and was enlightened. He brought people to make pine eggs and was targeted by Zheng Xin, the nephew of Zheng Yuanwailang of the Merit Examination Department. That's why yesterday's incident happened."
After he finished the first half of his report, he paused for a moment and said cautiously," The Quyuan Li was created last month. There was no news of it until the day before yesterday. According to the investigation, this news was deliberately spread by Stone Spring Village. It must have been instructed by Mu Yun."
"He calculated that I would take the bait…Good fellow! Even I have been tricked! You're quite meticulous."
Li Er didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled with admiration in his eyes.
In the next second, his expression turned cold." You know the use of the Quyuan Plow, but you are unwilling to offer it to the Imperial Court. You just watch the people of the world suffer! He knows that he is intelligent and close to a demon. Is he afraid that I can't tolerate him?"
"Zhen is so heartless! This brat is underestimating Us, underestimating the Great Tang! Our Great Tang is all-encompassing and can take in the world!"
Li Er was indignant. He walked to the window and looked up at the sky. His words were deafening.
Li Junxian and Yang Cheng were both excited, infected by Li Er's talent. "Your Majesty has great ambitions," Li Junxian respectfully said."This general is willing to follow you to the death!"
"Haha, with Junxian's help, I can rest easy!"
Li Er supported Li Junxian and patted his arm, rallying his people. He was almost moved to tears. Li Er waved his hand and said," I know. You can leave first."
