Fight the Giants

  Chapter 434 Foster care

  Huo Xi thought he heard it wrong, and his eyes widened: "Your family can't afford a child?"

  Mu Yan turned her head and glanced at her. His family seems to be unable to support children?

  Why is that? A marquis mansion, raising their children and grandchildren outside? What's the point.

   "Ju'er cries day and night, he is not considered healthy, and the princess only left this bloodline, entrusting him to me at the end of his life... I am worried that he will cry and break his health."

   "But isn't the son-in-law still there? The princess doesn't entrust the child to the son-in-law, but to you?"

  Seeing that Mu Yan didn't speak, Huo Xi frowned and thought for a long time, then sighed.

  It must be because he was afraid that the son-in-law would remarry and the second wife would not treat her child kindly, so he entrusted the son to the cousin. With a deep sigh, even if you are a princess, you still have a lot of helplessness.

   "It's because if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. The son-in-law is young, and he will never guard the princess for the rest of his life. He will marry again."

  When the time comes, the wife and young son will still remember the old man. The big pestle is there, maybe it's an eyesore.

  Huo Xi couldn't help feeling sorry for the child who lost his mother. Sighed: "Why did you choose my home?"

   "Your younger brother is about the same age as Xing'er, and your family has many children, and you don't have so many rules. It will definitely heal Xing'er's pain of losing her mother."

  Mu Yan looked at the long night.

  The complexion is heavy: "The princess has been ill these years, and Xing'er is almost always in the mansion. She doesn't even have a close friend, and she doesn't look like a child at all...and there are gentlemen who teach literature and martial arts in your place."

  Huo Xi didn't want to agree, such a precious seedling was still the grandson of the emperor, if something happened to her family, no matter how many heads she had in her family, it might not be enough to cut it off.

   "Don't worry, I will tell my fourth uncle about this matter. Xing'er is a child of my Mu family, and the emperor can't stop the Mu family's decision. I will also send two secret guards to follow Xing'er."

   "Send secret guards? Doesn't it mean that my family does something, and you know it?" Huo Xi stared.

   "How dare your family do something shameful?"

  Huo Xi choked: "I dare not."

   "Then what's the problem?"

   Of course there is a problem! Put a hidden guard to watch, and everything is tied up. But he didn't dare to choke.

   "Don't worry, they only follow Xuan'er and won't take care of other things."

   That's what I said, but... well, it's hard to refute the decision of the golden thigh. Can't refute it either.

   Huo Xi made sense, but Mu Xin disagreed.

   "Stay well in our house, why put it in someone else's house?"

   "Change the environment for Yu'er, maybe he will be healthier and forget the pain of losing his mother."

  But... "I can take Xun'er back to Yunnan, or live in Zhuangzi."

"Fourth uncle still has a job, so I'm afraid he won't be able to stay with Hsu'er all the time. The child in that family is two years older than Hsu'er. He has a pure and kind personality, is sensible, and has a master of arts and martial arts at home. Hsu'er and Staying with peers is better than staying alone in the mansion."

   "But that family is just a commoner." Mu Xin didn't know how Mu Yan made such a decision.

   "Although that family is a commoner, it is still our savior. Fourth Uncle, do you remember when you first entered Beijing, when you encountered water thieves near Songjiang Mansion, we stayed on the fisherman's boat overnight?"

   "Which family is it?" Mu Xin was a little surprised.

  Mu Yan nodded: "Besides, leaving aside the grandson of the emperor's son, that child's status is higher than that of Xuan'er."

   "Ah, why do you live in the market?" Mu Xin was dumbfounded.

   "I can't tell my fourth uncle about the Central Plains. But the children of that family will definitely help Xing'er get out of the pain. Fourth uncle doesn't want to see Xing'er healthy and happy?"

   "Why don't I want to." But Mu Xin couldn't make the decision to keep his son outside.

After being silent for a while, he felt that Mu Yan was also doing it for his son's benefit, "Then let's go and have a look at it some other day." We will make a decision after we have a look. If it is really what Yan'er said, he is willing to do anything for his son's benefit. .

  On this day, Huo Nianxiumu was about to bring Chuyi and Youqing to the workshop to play, but was grabbed by Huo Xi and stayed at home.

   "There will be little guests coming, you have to stay and help my sister entertain the guests."

   "A little guest is coming? Who is it?"

   "Nian'er also knows this person. Before my sister took you to play in Songjiang, I met a water thief one night. Didn't our family live in a family? It was that child."

  Huo Nian's eyes lit up, "I remember! He was so young back then."

"Yeah, now he's grown up. His mother passed away not long ago. He missed his mother and was about to cry, so his family decided to move to another place to raise him for a while. Nian'er treats him as a younger brother and spends a good time with him. Is the time good?"

   When Huo Nian heard that it was the little brother he knew, and when he heard that his mother was gone, he broke down crying and felt that he was very pitiful.

   Immediately patted his chest and replied: "Okay, sister, don't worry, I will definitely accompany him well."

  Mr. Yang had heard Huo Xi talk about this earlier, and she felt pity for this child who was going to come from her family for a while. Prepared a bunch of food and play early. He also tidied up the room next to Nian'er and replaced it with a new one inside and out.

   Prepared early in the morning.

   "Mother, don't be nervous, people just come to see, not necessarily our family."

   "Mother is not nervous, not nervous." Even though she was speaking, she was still fidgeting, looking here and there, for fear that she might not do well and neglect the nobleman.

  In the middle of the hour, a carriage stopped at the gate of Huo's house.

  Mu Jie was ill and crookedly carried out of the carriage by his father. Seeing the carriage parked in front of a private house, he was quite surprised, and looked around with his little head.

  Seeing a few children standing there at the door, he was stunned, and met Huo Nian's eyes.

  Huo Nian walked towards them, bowed his hands and saluted: "Boy Huo Nian has met the nobleman, and the brother of the Mu family."

  Mu Yan stroked his head and smiled at him.

  Mu Jie looked at the child, and then at his cousin. The cousin seemed to know him. Could it be that the cousin wanted to bring him here as a guest?

  Mu Xin saw that Huo Nian saluted him sternly, the courtesy was very thoughtful, and the two-year-old brother he was leading followed his brother's example and bowed to him. He seemed to be well-bred and was satisfied.

  Huo Nian walked up to Mu Jie again: "Hi, my name is Huo Nian, I am eight years old, and this is my brother An An, who just passed his second birthday."

   "Brother, An An." An An smiled when she saw everyone, and stretched out her hand to Mu Jie.

  Mu Jie was still in a daze, but he stretched out his hand and took An An's hand. I just felt that the touch in my hand was soft, which brought a strange feeling to Mu Jie.

  The corner of his mouth raised, and his voice was soft: "My name is Mu Jie."

   "Brother Mu Jie." Huo Nian smiled at him.

   "Brother." An An raised her head and smiled at him.

  Mu Jie is the youngest in the Mu Mansion, and a child who has not yet called him his brother. Seeing An An calling him at this time, he hummed happily and held An An's hand tightly.

  Huo Xi, Mrs. Yang, and Yang Fu rushed over after hearing the news, and invited them to sit at home.

  Mu Xin secretly looked at the Huo family.

  The male master is not here. He heard that he is busy making a living in Zhuangzi. He has already inquired a lot about the Huo family. He is very interested in the identities of the siblings living in the market and the older sister disguised as a man to make a living. But Yan'er didn't say anything, so he didn't ask.

   This family is kind enough to raise other people's children.

  Seeing this family at this time, from adults to children, from elder sister to younger brother, everyone is sensible and courteous, and they are really responsible. Looking at the guards in his house, they were not inferior to the guards his father had given to Yan'er, and he was secretly surprised.

  Looking at his son again, he had a small smile on his face, chatting happily with a few children. Since the princess left, Hu'er hadn't smiled.

  Mu Xin felt heartache unbearable.

   I didn't even expect that the teacher who taught the children to read was the great Confucian Qin Changzhi. After visiting Qin Chang, Mu Xin was very willing in his heart.

   On the way back, seeing his son frequently lifted the curtain of the car to look back, with a look of reluctance on his face, he asked him softly, "Would it be good for Xun'er to live in this Huo's house for a while?"
