Chapter 976： Lost and found

Chapter 976 Lost and Found

"Why does this kid... look familiar?" Mr. Tang raised his finger and pointed at Mu Jue, his eyes full of doubts and eagerness.

He tilted his head, as if he was thinking hard about something. Unfortunately, he is old and has too many memories. It is particularly difficult to find a certain paragraph suddenly.

Mu Jue also frowned, and after a while he asked, "Is the old gentleman's hometown Mujiabao, Linzhou Prefecture, Jiangbei?"

“Yes, yes!” Mr. Tang nodded eagerly and asked loudly, “Are you eight pounds? Right?!”

Everyone was confused, and couldn't help but laugh because of the nickname Bajin'er.

Mu Jue also blushed a little, but was more excited. He took two steps forward and responded loudly, "Third uncle, it's me!"

“Oh, Ba Jin’er! You look so much like your father!” Mr. Tang stumbled forward and grabbed Mu Jue, tears streaming down his face.

“It’s great that you are alive, that’s great! Wow, I have asked so many people to find the whereabouts of my clan members, but they all say that you are dead and not a single one of you is alive!

“It’s great that you are still alive, great!”

Mr. Tang’s beard was trembling with excitement, and he was about to faint at the sight.

Everyone was so shocked that they rushed forward to comfort him, "Mr. Tang, calm down. It's a good thing for relatives to reunite!"

“That’s right, that’s right, today is your birthday. This is the best birthday gift!”

“Let’s go into the room and talk slowly.”

“Yes, yes, come in, come in quickly!” Mr. Tang was coaxed back, grabbed Mu Jue and walked into the house.

Mu Jue only had time to give Jiayin a look, and Jiayin nodded to reassure him.

Soon, everyone cheered into the house, leaving the Li brothers and sisters walking behind.

Jiaren asked his sister in a low voice, "What's going on with Mu Jue? Isn't he an orphan?"

Jiayin shrugged and replied with some helplessness, "I don't know either. He was arranged by his adoptive father to come to our home. His background must be fine. As for the rest, I can't say, let's hear it first."

Jiaren nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

Mr. Tang originally planned to stay in the academy for more than half a year and then leave. He was extremely famous and was a guest wherever he went.

But I am getting older, my health has not been very good these past two years, and I can no longer bear the bumps on the road.

In addition, he met Jiaren, a good disciple who was very talented and practiced calligraphy hard. He treated him even more thoughtfully.

As a result, he never left the academy and even taught a calligraphy class in the academy.

On weekdays, small tasks such as washing and sweeping are taken care of by bookboys. Three meals a day are served to the table in the Li family canteen.

Fruits and vegetables are available all year round, and you can eat whatever is fresh, so your life is quite comfortable.

At this time, everyone sat down to serve tea. Mr. Tang also calmed down and began to ask about Mujiabao.

Mu Jue naturally could not tell the details. He only said that all his clan members were killed by the barbarians, his parents and uncles were all killed, and the Marquis led troops to the north to rescue him.

Mr. Tang had to cry again and regretted it.

Mu Jue's grandfather was his eldest brother. When he was young and frivolous, he was arrogant about his talent and did not want to take scientific examinations, let alone get married and be controlled by the family, so he made a big fuss, changed his name, and traveled around the world.

Finally, he has made such a big name and is getting old, so he plans to return to his roots.

But the barbarians also broke through the border, and Jiangbei was lost!

It can only be said that God’s will plays tricks on people, and things in the world are unpredictable.

In the past two years, he didn't know how many nights he couldn't sleep. He wanted to wipe his neck and go to Jiuquan to apologize to his ancestors. As long as he sets up a family outside and has children, the incense of the Mu family will not be cut off.

Fortunately, God, there is still a grandnephew alive!

When I left home, I was a naughty boy of four or five years old. Now he is in his prime!

“Ba Jin’er... No, what name did your family give you?” Mr. Tang finally remembered to estimate his grandnephew’s reputation and asked the name.

Mu Jue quickly responded, "My grandfather died of illness nine years ago. Before he closed his eyes, he named me 'Jue'."

“Mu Jue? What a good name!” Mr. Tang was full of praise. He was so pleased with this single seedling of the Mu family.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and naturally others also praised it, making Mr. Tang cry and laugh sometimes.

In the end, it was Dean Zhou who spoke and the banquet was finally served.

Since Mr. Tang didn’t have any female relatives here, so he couldn’t keep good news for a long time, so he stepped forward to give Mr. Tang a junior gift and a birthday gift, and then said goodbye and left.

Jiaren and Brother Li stayed to drink. Naturally, Brother Mao wanted to go shopping with his sister.

As a result, seeing the good news was about to leave, Mu Jue became a little anxious and wanted to say goodbye together.

Mr. Tang longed to tie his lost grandnephew to his belt, but he would not let him go.

“Brother Jue, where are you going? This will be your home from now on! Uncle and grandpa still have a lot to say to you!”

After that, he turned to Jiaren and said, "Jiaren, is Brother Jui's household registration in your family? Today, the old man is asking for a favor from you. Let Brother Jui be free and allow him to come back to me and support our Mu family." Home portal, how about it?”

Jiaren frowned, guessing that the old gentleman regarded Mu Jue as a servant of the Li family.

If it were anyone else, he would really be able to make the decision, but Mu Jue cannot!

First of all, Mu Jue was arranged by the Marquis.

Secondly, Mu Jue is his sister's personal guard, and he is needed to take care of his sister's safety both inside and outside the palace.

He could not agree to give away his sister's men anyway.

His mind was spinning in circles, and just as he was about to speak, Mu Jue interrupted him.

"Third uncle, I am not a servant of the Li family. I am the guard of the Xinting Hou Mansion. Before the expedition to the north, the marquis asked me to protect the safety of the princess. I cannot stay away from the princess easily. Third uncle will celebrate his birthday first. In a few days I’ll definitely come visit again when I have some free time.”

"How can that be done?" Mr. Tang became even more anxious after hearing this, and shouted without any regard for reason, "No matter who's house guard you are, you are part of our Mu family! You stay here first, and wait for the Marquis to come back. I went to beg for help with him, but he couldn’t help but give me this face.”

Jiayin frowned. She originally wanted to persuade Mu Jue, but she became a little unhappy after hearing what Mr. Tang said.

What's wrong with you Mu family? Who are you more noble than?

Without the help of his adoptive father, Mu Jue died, and the Mu family would have been cut off long ago.

Who are you showing off to?

He also said that I can’t afford to give you this face. The Hou Mansion expects you to live!

Mu Jue glanced at Jiayin and saw that her expression was not good, so he immediately said, "Third uncle, please let go of your hand first. My arm is broken and I can't bear the pull."

Frozen bones?

Mr. Tang was startled and immediately let go of his hand.

Mu Jue took the opportunity to take two steps back, and then he said, "Third uncle, if I hadn't been rescued by Lord Marquis, I would have died in Jiangbei a long time ago. The most important thing for a man to walk in heaven and earth is the word 'faith'.

“Since I made a promise to the Marquis, I must keep it. As for the future, let’s wait until the Marquis comes back.”

“Brother Jue!” Mr. Tang was a little angry, looking at Mu Jue like he was looking at a naughty boy who wanted to beat him but was reluctant to do so.

Mu Jue ignored him, bowed his head in salute, then turned away and stood next to Jiayin.
