Otherworldly Farmhouse

During the dinner, Tang Anwen held the three treasures to feed, and the little guy was eating happily. Mu Chan suddenly asked, "Mufeng, are you a child of the Mulin family? I remember that when I was still in the tribe, there was a The child’s name is Mufeng. You are somewhat similar to Mulin. I hugged you when you were just born. You are very chubby and cute. I haven’t been back to the tribe for many years. Are you okay? How is it now?"

After hearing this, Shang Yu immediately asked, "Am, did I also look like Sambo when I was young, chubby and cute."

After hearing his son's words, Mu Chan said: "You were born prematurely when you were a child, and you never got fat. E-Mu took care of you. You are not cute at all. You are skinny, but when you grow up, you will look better when you grow up."

Mufeng didn't expect that Mu Chan knew his mother and hugged him, but when he thought of his deceased mother, Mu Feng looked a little lonely, and said in a low voice: "My mother passed away when I was ten years old. I have also been away from the tribe for more than ten years, so I don’t know the specific situation, but I know that the tribe has been suffering from famines in the past two years, and there is a shortage of materials and food, and now it is at war with the north, so the situation must not be very optimistic.”

The people at the dinner table were silent when they heard Mu Feng's words, Shang Yu, who was about to say something, immediately shut up, and Mu Chan apologized to Mu Feng in a low voice.

Mu Feng shook his head and said it was nothing. Someone could remember him, Mu Feng, which made Mu Feng very happy. After all, even in the tribe, except for relatives, not many people could remember people who had died for more than ten years.

Guoguo and Xiao Sifan are still young, so they don't know much about these things. They are eating happily, asking for this and that, ordering adults to help with food, especially Xiao Sifan. I don't know if it's because he is afraid that his father will settle the score after autumn, or what. He only wants to have a good meal if his father helps him to pick up dishes from afar.The two little guys also broke the dull atmosphere at the dinner table.

King Zhennan said at this time: "Is the situation of the Muha clan really not optimistic? After this northern battle, could it be that the imperial court hasn't sent you food and materials?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Mu Feng continued: "The imperial court will distribute some, but how much of that will be left in the tribe, 1 taels can give the tribe three leftovers, which is not bad."

Tang Anwen also nodded beside him. Tang Anwen had seen the darkness in the imperial court too much on TV. The stories all came from life. Presumably the real imperial court was not much better, maybe even darker.

At this time, Mu Chan suddenly said: "The situation of the tribe is really so bad. I have been too negligent these years. Do you still have contact with the tribe, Mufeng? If you can, I will prepare some food, grass and material luck for the tribe. In the north, but they need to send people to the canal to pick them up, the army is in chaos, and the inland is less safe than the sea."

King Zhennan said at this time: "It's no wonder you are at sea for most of the year, and there are so many things you need to deal with when you come back from the Shang family. I have always admired the warriors of the Muha tribe, and I am also one of the kings. When the time comes, you will send it together, which can be regarded as doing your part for your tribe. This word will stop here, and it must not be spread outside, if people misunderstand what I mean, it will be a troublesome thing."

Tang Anwen rolled his eyes after hearing this, what do you mean, you just want to win over the Muha clan, if the Muha clan came to train soldiers for the Weinan Dynasty, it would be really easy to eliminate the Tiemu clan.The more than [-] fighters of the Muha tribe can at least contain more than [-] murderers, and the soldiers in Weinan must have at least double the number of fighters.

Naturally, no one in the house would spread the news, let alone the fact that Luo Ling from Bo Chen’s family married Mu Yu, the others are more or less related to King Zhennan, if King Zhennan really succeeded, it would be a little bit of a treat for them. It's good, if you don't succeed, as long as you don't reveal what happened today, they don't have anything to do with them, who would just keep on yelling and cause trouble for themselves.

As for the children, they seemed to understand what they heard, they didn't understand what was going on at all, and they probably would forget it before tomorrow. King Zhennan was not only sinister enough, but also bold enough. A table of people were pulled onto his boat, and of course the heaviest one was the wooden cicada. This person could go to sea and make a lot of money.

Sure enough, Mu Chan's expression improved a lot when he heard Zhennan King's words, probably because he was grateful that Zhennan King was willing to do his part for the warriors in the tribe. In fact, Mu Chan knew a little about the situation of the Muha tribe when he was young , The land is scarce, but there is no way to do it. Today, the Holy One is still preventing them from becoming bigger, because they are afraid that their tribe will rebel.If people from the lineage of King Zhennan can come to power, I don't know if it will be more powerful to the tribe.

King Zhennan was really an eyesore. Fortunately, after the meal, the people in the palace came to pick up King Zhennan. Only Xiao Sifan was very pitiful, holding Tang Anwen in tears. He didn't want to go home at all. I want to play with brother Douzi, brother Guoguo, Sanbao and Maomao, the house is really boring, not as fun as Uncle Tang's house.

The little guy was willing to let go of Tang Anwen's hand until King Zhennan assured him that he would send him over to play with Guoguo early tomorrow morning. Guoguo also burst into tears when he saw that Xiao Sifan was leaving. In the eyes of the two little guys, they were already bad guys.

The weather was getting colder, and there were still many refugees from the north who came to Huaishui one after another. Fortunately, the king of Zhennan had Tang Anwen's idea, and finally nothing happened.Shang Yu's injuries gradually healed up, and now he is a lively hero again.Tang Anwen heard from Shang Yu that the king of Zhennan left Shangfeng behind, and it is said that he was going to be a bodyguard. Pity Shangfeng who has been the eldest son of the Shang family for many years. The king's subordinates were tossing half to death, this man dared to confront the young prince, how could the guards raised by the king of Zhennan be loyal to outsiders, and Shangfeng's life can be imagined.

During this period, some people naturally jumped out to make trouble, such as those elders of the Shang family, but Dang Muchan cut off the support of those people.Since then they understood who controlled the Shang family, and no one dared to speak out about Shang Yu's birth, especially the old man of the Shang family admitted that Shang Yu was his own grandson.Although those members of the Shang family prefer Shangfeng to be the head of the family, because they are stupid enough to let them handle it, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, following Shangfeng is just living on their laurels.Shang Yu is smart, but he can lead them to more prosperity, good or bad, as long as he can take care of the overall situation, he will know who to support.

Tang Anwen moved to live in a small yard on the shore after Shangyu recovered from his injury. Mufeng has already rented a shop on the street not far from the wharf, and it has already opened for business. The business is very good. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Every household should give a good reward to the Wu Zang Temple.

At the end of the year, the Huai River was cloudy and rainy, and the weather was very cold and damp. Fortunately, Tang Anwen's family had already prepared all kinds of materials for the winter.This guy Shang Yu is currently living in Nuoda's Shang family, so he wants to occupy a room in Tang Anwen's house, and even pretends to help Tang Anwen take care of the children. He obviously provokes Sanbao and Maomao every day, and is often chased and beaten by Tang Anwen.

Tang Anwen and Mu Feng were cleaning the yard and making the final preparations before the year. Seeing Shang Yu came in with Aaron, they said, "Shang Yu, you have nothing to do every day, so you are so free, hurry up and help me remove the spider webs under the eaves." Sweep."

Shang Yu would not take over the bamboo pole Tang Anwen handed him, and nodded to Aaron behind him. Aaron took the bamboo pole very consciously, and began to stick the tiny spider nest under the eaves.

Tang Anwen looked at Shang Yu who was holding a fan and said: "You really don't have anything to be busy at home, and you don't care about the shipyard."

Shang Yu opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "The housekeeper is busy with everything in my house. I don't need to do it myself, I just need to move my mouth, and I have decided with Amu. This year, I will come to your house for the New Year. Amu likes the ones made by Mufeng very much. Food, authentic Muha taste."

While the two were chatting, Zhang Dafu, who was already busy, came to Tang Anwen's house. Tang Anwen asked Zhang Dafu to sit down and have a sip of tea. Boats, even Muchan has taken a fancy to them. If he goes out to sea with such a boat, he will be afraid of pirates, and this kind of boat is much safer.

So now the shipyard on Zhang Dafu's side has already started to move at full speed, and Zhang Dafu is even more busy without touching the ground.He hoped to build one more ship before the beginning of spring. Although the interior of these ships was a bit weird, because the weapons were not added, it could not be seen from the outside that they were warships.The weapons were processed separately by King Zhennan. There was no special gathering for weapons, and most people really didn't dare to process them casually.

Zhang Dafu took a few sips of tea from Mu Feng and said, "I still have some urgent matters to finish, so I won't sit down. This letter sent to my house should be from Mu Feng. My friend brought a letter back last time." When I was there, I told the people over there my home address, and I was afraid they were in a hurry, so I chose to send it to you."

After Mu Feng heard it, he immediately took the letter Zhang Dafu handed him, and after opening it, it turned out to be Mu Yu's notes.It first thanked him for taking care of Maomao and Uncle Chen, and told them that Luo Ling was fine and nothing happened, and he had been helping them treat the wounded soldiers. But I especially want Mao Mao.

But Mu Yu also wrote in the letter, asking Mu Feng and the others to help take care of Maomao first. He didn't expect that when he returned to the Muha tribe, he was pregnant again. The war plus five or six months of pregnancy If Mao Mao came back, he would not be able to take good care of him. When the war was over, he would personally pick Mao Mao and Uncle Chen back.

Then came the matter of the Muha clan. Now the fighting has eased a bit, because heavy snow has hit the northern grassland, and the snow is half a meter deep. It is very difficult for people and horses to move.Fortunately, the gold left by Musen allowed them to buy enough food and grass, otherwise they would definitely have a hard time this winter.

Moreover, Musen’s past grievances in the tribe were also washed away. He buried Musen and Tang Zhe together next to Mulin. Now people in the tribe send some sacrifices every day. The tribe is grateful to Musen for protecting the tribe’s gold and for them Overcoming this year's difficulties, I also thanked Tang Anwen for the 2000 taels of silver. The Mufeng family is already the highest-level guests of the Muha clan, just like elders.

Mu Yu also told Mu Feng that when the war is over, Mu Feng must take the whole family back to the tribe. Many tribesmen are very grateful to Mu Feng's family.Because the gold was discovered by Mufeng's family, not only did they not swallow it privately, they even gave those antiques and valuables to the Muha clan, allowing the tribe to exchange a lot of material for the winter.

Mu Yu's gratitude was shown between the lines, and Tang Anwen read it anxiously, because he didn't know the characters of the Muha tribe.Fortunately, there were a few letters from Luo Ling inside. When Mu Feng handed those to Tang Anwen, Tang Anwen also read them.This kid is now quite high-spirited, and the warriors of the Muha clan regard him as a treasure. Luo Ling's medical skills are excellent, especially the wound medicine he prepared is very effective, and he takes a few newly recruited apprentices to treat diseases and save lives every day.

At the same time, Luo Ling also wrote about his fear during that time, fearing that he would be killed by a knife, and worrying that Uncle Chen and Mao Mao would be killed. When he received Tang Anwen's letter, Luo Ling said that he was excited for two days. Did not sleep well.Originally wanted to come over to pick up Mao Mao immediately, but Mu Yu refused to let him out, fearing that he would be in danger. Although the fighting has stopped now, there are still small groups of fighting, plus there are many people fleeing in the north, no one knows What happens on the road.

Finally, Luo Ling asked Tang Anwen to take good care of his family Mao Mao and Chen Bo. Once the battle at the border was over, he and Mu Yu would come over to pick Mao Mao there. Of course, he would also take Tang Anwen to the Muha tribe to have a look, saying that Tang Anwen would open his eyes. Well, the brothers of the Muha tribe are both bold and forthright and very bold, which is really unbearable for ordinary men.

Knowing that Luo Ling and Mu Yu were all fine, Tang Anwen was extremely happy. They were one of the few friends he had in this world. Tang Anwen didn't want anything to happen to them, no matter how far apart, no matter how far they could go. To be able to meet, as long as we can live well.

When Muchan heard that Mufeng had received a letter from the Muha tribe, he immediately came to look for Mufeng and asked about the situation of the Mufeng tribe.Although he has sent people to the north to find out, but he has not developed towards the north for many years. Mu Chan is familiar with the sea route, so it is difficult to extend his hand to the tribe for a while.After leaving the tribe for so many years, Muchan suddenly felt that he was very sorry for the tribe that raised him. Now that he has cleared his mind, he is also capable of repaying the tribe. Muchan is ready to do his best to help the tribe that raised him.

Mu Chan escaped from the tribe back then. He passed away when he was a child, his father was unknown, and he had no other relatives in the tribe.During an inspection, they were not careful enough and let a few murderers into the tribe. Fortunately, they were discovered by other tribesmen and did not cause any serious consequences.

At that time, Muchan was young and feared the punishment for making mistakes, so Muchan fled the tribe at that time.Mu Chan was young and had never left the tribe before, so after escaping, he was miserable.It wasn't until I met Shang Jian and became Shang Jian's bodyguard that life became easier, and everything after that became a matter of course, but Shang Jian's thoughts on Mu Chan were just a momentary thought, when he took Mu Chan back to Huaishui , the freshness has passed, and the days of Mu Chan can be imagined.

Mu Feng told Mu Chan that the tribe is doing well now, at least they can survive the winter.But after winter, because of the war with the murderers, the tribe will definitely not be able to farm and herd like in previous years. In addition, the material consumption during the war is very high, and the tribe will definitely be short of food and grass in the spring.

Mu Chan told Mu Feng not to worry, he had started hoarding food and grass some time ago, and now he has hoarded a batch of materials, waiting for the spring to deliver them.Mufeng heard Muchan's words and told Muchan that the battle in the north has been suspended due to snow accumulation. If the snow melts in spring, the war will continue, and it will be dangerous to transport food at that time. If the food can be delivered before spring, more troubles can be avoided. Trouble.

Muchan agreed with Mufeng's words after hearing this, and the two discussed it. King Zhennan didn't prepare materials, so he directly gave Muchan 1 taels of silver, and asked Muchan to exchange all of it for food and send it to Muha tribe.Mu Chan has about 1000 guards in his hands. These guards are extremely powerful and can steer and defend ships at sea. Many of these guards are orphans adopted by Mu Chan, and they are also extremely loyal to Mu Chan.

After King Zhennan learned of this, he immediately called Mu Chan over. He thought that Mu Chan's people were extremely important.It is extremely difficult to train people who can stand alone in maritime affairs, and even take the helm, and it takes a lot of time.And he also has guards in his hands, and some of Mu Chan's guards and Zhennan King's guards are used to transport food and grass, with more than [-] people.And many small caravans who thought it was safe to follow Muchan hired many bodyguards to form the largest caravan to the north in history.

This time with Muchan's caravan, all the goods will be sold to the Muha tribe. Although this has caused them to lose part of their profits, but if they buy a good one for Muchan now, they may be able to follow Muchan on the sea route in the future. For business, many people in Huaishui know that Muchan travels by sea, but Muchan's caravan is huge and the ships are also big. Ordinary small merchant ships do not have the ability to sail long distances.

The materials that Muchan sent to the Muha tribe this time were almost enough for the Muha warriors to use for a year. This incident caused a great shock to the Muha tribe.However, when Muchan went to see the patriarch, he still paid the price for his escape, ten army sticks, he suffered with peace of mind, without any disputes.

Today's Mu Chan is no longer the child he was back then. He has been able to take on a lot of things, and even has the ability to afford the rations and materials of all the fighters of the Muha tribe.Mu Chan told the patriarch that in the next few years he would continue to send supplies over until the end of the war.

The patriarch was very grateful, knowing that it was not easy for Mu Chan to travel north and south, so he arranged for some to fight on horseback because of injuries, some were injured on the left hand, some were injured on the right hand, but their abilities were still extremely strong, and they could definitely help Mu Chan, When Muchan left the Muha tribe, he took away more than 100 clansmen with rich combat experience, so that Muchan could train more powerful guards.

After Mu Chan left with the caravan, Shang Yu's home almost fell into Tang Anwen's house. Now all the people in the Shang family's mansion have been replaced by Mu Chan's people, and the old man of the Shang family can't control these people.Fortunately, the old man took a look. He always thought that Shang Yu was also a descendant of the Shang family, and what the Bianguan Muchan did now, it was not Shang Yu who benefited in the end, but their Shang family.As for the eldest grandson, no matter how noisy his only son and eldest daughter-in-law are, the old man of the Shang family will just keep the two of them in another courtyard.

Tang Anwen's family is still very lively during the New Year. There are four children in the family, and they are all noisy. Sometimes they want to set off firecrackers, and sometimes they have to go to the street to buy food.This boy Shang Yu is now in high spirits, although he always provokes San Bao and Mao Mao, he also loves these little guys very much.That is, he would buy whatever the child wanted, so Tang Anwen's house was full of messy things.

Tang Anwen's family is extremely comfortable in Huaishui, not only has a wealthy friend like Shang Yu, but also has the care of King Zhennan.Their stewed meat business has always been very good, and Mu Feng doesn't need to take care of it now, Uncle Chen is in charge of the accounts, Mu Feng just needs to get the seasoning package ready, and Uncle Chen takes it with him, Zhang Qi is in charge of the purchase, this kid is very He is kind, and the commission given by Mu Feng is also very generous, because he earned a lot of money, Zhang Qi is loyal to Mu Feng.

The most profitable is of course the shipyard. They don't need to find customers at all. The orders placed by Guangzhen Nanwang and Muchan are enough for them to increase their horsepower to start work every day.Zhang Dafu continued to expand the shipyard. Under Tang Anwen's suggestion, a shipbuilder led a team. They manufactured each part of the ship separately to form an assembly line, which greatly improved the speed of shipbuilding.

Mu Chan didn't believe it at the time, because Zhang Dafu's shipyard was not as big as him, and the number of personnel was not as large as him, but the speed was definitely not slower than him, or even faster. When he came to watch Zhang Dafu's assembly line production, he immediately He also began to learn this peculiar method. He sailed more warships and large ships, and the caravan he formed to go to sea was even larger.

Because there are Muha people who train the bodyguards, whether it is water quality or combat effectiveness, they are definitely stronger than those trained by only Muchan at the beginning. At sea, even those pirates who saw Muchan's caravan had to take a detour. Zhennan Wang Xianlai has nothing to do. He once took the warship built by Tang Anwen to destroy several pirates. After these people were caught, they were brainwashed by King Zhennan, and those small islands are now occupied by the water army of King Zhennan Now, safety at sea has been greatly improved.

In the past three years, under the extremely secret arrangement of King Zhennan, the eldest prince, who had been unknown until now, suddenly made his mark. He won victorious victories over and over again in the north, accumulated military achievements time and time again, and gradually gained the emperor's favor.During the period, the second prince and the third prince fought each other, and the third prince framed the second prince for rebellion. In the eyes of the emperor, this was an unforgivable crime. Although he was in his forties, he was not dead yet, but this son had already begun to look forward to him. died.

Under the wrath of thunder, the second prince was exiled to the west and could never return to Beijing.However, the third prince, who was extremely favored, suddenly became seriously ill after the emperor fell ill.The fourth prince is still young, and the Mu family doesn't have much strength, and the next two princes are even children, and the throne fell to the eldest prince as he wished.

Tang Anwen really didn't have much opinion on who should be the emperor, as long as the other party could benefit the common people.Of course, it doesn't matter even if he can't, as long as he can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.As a result, when he heard that the old emperor had passed away and King Zhennan was going to the capital, he naturally congratulated the new emperor on his enthronement.

Tang Anwen was dumbfounded when he learned that there was actually their family among them. He didn't even know whether the emperor was round or flat, so why did he want him to go.He is just a common man who wants money but has no money. Well, it is a bit. He earned it from Mu Chan and King Zhennan. But the emperor, he is the master of a country, and all his savings in the past three years are nothing more than Of the 1 taels of silver, more than half of it was bought into material goods and sent to Muha's family, and there were only a few thousand taels of silver in hand.

The new emperor's accession to the throne must be a gift. With the little money in his hand, what can he sell to give it? Ask Shangyu if he can borrow it.

Tang Anwen's troubles did not infect Mu Feng. Mu Feng was also extremely happy that the new emperor supported by King Zhennan was able to ascend the throne, so at least their family would not be in any danger.After all, they have worked hard without any credit these years. The paintings by Awen actually played a certain role. After seeing the paintings, the old emperor was extremely angry, because he was given to two people before he died. The prince sang praises.

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there, Shang Yu came in from outside the house, now Tang Anwen's family still lives in that small courtyard, they still live in the same room as Douzi and Guoguo, but Sanbao is not in the room with Tang Anwen and them now, Maomao is not willing to share with Tang Anwen or Uncle Chen is in one room, he likes to sleep with his little brother Sanbao, so they share a room, Mu Feng always goes to pee for them at night, so that the little ones don't wet the bed.

Both Maomao and Sanbao are four years old. The little ones can run around now, and they will jump out of the yard if they are not careful. Every time the two children get lost, they will always be escorted by Shangyu's guards. When they came back, sometimes it belonged to King Zhennan. Tang Anwen only found out after a few times of probing that both Mu Chan and King Zhennan had guards outside their house, so naturally they were not watching them.

Now Tang Anwen and King Zhennan have a very good relationship, they are good friends, and King Zhennan often comes to visit for a meal, Lin Rui is also the princess, who often brings Sifan and his young son Sihai to play .The child's name, Si Hai, is a bit of a catchphrase. That child was born, and it was the first time King Zhennan organized a fleet to follow Muchan to return. King Zhennan made a lot of money, so he was happy, Lin Ruisheng's The younger son became Sihai.

Shang Yu looked at Tang Anwen frowning, and he didn't understand why this kid needed to frown. In Huaishui, no one dared to touch this kid's hair.Shang Yu asked curiously: "Tang Anwen, what's wrong with you, who bullied you, tell me and I will help you clean him up."

Tang Anwen was thinking about something in his heart, and almost jumped up when he was frightened by Shang Yu, Tang Anwen said distressedly: "No one bullies me anymore, it is that Shang Yu, have you received the invitation from the new emperor, Zhennan King sent someone to tell I, I am on the list of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. I am not thinking about what kind of congratulatory gift I should give. You know that although I have made some money over the years, I have spent a lot of money. Good things are expensive, I What can I buy with that little silver, if I offend that lord, I won't be able to cut my lives off."

After hearing Tang Anwen's words, Shang Yu smiled and said, "Why does the new emperor need you to give gifts? You have come up with a lot of bad ideas over the years, and you have helped the King of Zhennan a lot. The new emperor has not forgotten your contribution. You go, maybe you will be given an official job, what are you worrying about?"

Tang Anwen was shocked when he heard Shang Yu's words. This matter was even more serious. Originally, giving gifts was just a one-time thing. If he was really dragged into being an official, Tang Anwen thought it would be better to be an official in modern times, at least as long as he didn't make mistakes. , and no one will click you with a knife inexplicably.

But this is different in ancient times. It is said that a companion is like a tiger, as long as something is wrong, it will be snapped off at any time.Maybe others will say that Tang Anwen is afraid of death, but he is indeed afraid of death. He has already died once, and now he has a wife and children, and his life is not bad. Tang Anwen wants to keep his family safe until he grows old.

After knowing Tang Anwen's heart knot, both Shang Yu and Mu Feng persuaded Tang Anwen, but Tang Anwen's mood just couldn't get better, and he didn't want to be missed by the new emperor at all.Tang Anwen decided that if possible, after joining the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he would immediately take Mu Feng and the child as far away as possible. It would be best if the new emperor could never remember him for the rest of his life .
