"Your name is entered in the roster. I can report your death and leave here, but you will have to change your name and surname." Qi Xiuyuan looked at them deeply, "Uncle Mu, are you in Lin'an Mansion?" Who offended? Otherwise, I can't figure out who would add your name to it."

Mu Shi's expression changed, he took the brochure and looked at it calmly, then said: "General Qi, please allow me to discuss it with my wife and children."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "The matter of military registration will be implemented in the next few days. I can postpone your booklet. Let me know when you think about it."

Mu Shi was grateful in his heart, the Qi family had given so much in return when his daughter just extended her hand, now it is their Mu family who owes the Qi family a favor.

Mu Shi sent Qi Xiuyuan out respectfully, and when he returned to the house, he saw his wife was crying sadly holding the booklet, and his daughter and son were looking at her in bewilderment.

Mu Shi sighed slightly, stepped forward to hug his wife, and said to his daughter: "Take your brother out, and let your aunt and the others leave it alone."

Mu Yangling glanced at his mother, and obediently led his brother out, but he didn't leave when he reached the door, but hid at the door and listened to the corner of the wall.

Mu Bowen's eyes were shining, and he also squatted beside his sister, without making any movement.

Inside the house, Mu Shi was holding his wife's hand tightly, and said, "Don't worry, it may not be what you think."

Shu Wanniang wept and shook her head, "I know it's them. Who can we offend in Lin'an Mansion? Are they afraid that I will go back, that my affairs will be known and that it will ruin the reputation of the Shu family? But we just want to move south, I didn't think about going to Lin'an Mansion, I didn't think about it."

Mu Shi hugged his wife without saying a word, and patted her on the shoulder to express his comfort.

"What should we do?" Shu Wanniang looked at her husband in panic.

Mu Shi stared at the door deeply, and said after a while, "Let's stay."

Shu Wanniang covered her mouth and cried bitterly. Staying meant that Mu Shi was going to join the army. Compared with giving half of her life to God, Shu Wanniang felt resentful towards the family that gave birth to her for the first time.

Mu Shi wanted to give his wife and children an upright identity, and no matter where they went from now on, the world would follow them wherever they went.

Since the Shu family has been keeping an eye on them, even if they change their names, they will definitely be able to find them. He doesn't want to live under the surveillance of others in the future.

And joining the army is undoubtedly a way.

After making up his mind, Mu Shi went to find his daughter.

Mu Yangling couldn't understand, "Father, is mother's natal family very powerful? They have been monitoring us all the time?"

Mu Shi frowned, "The Shu family can be regarded as an aristocratic family. Although it is only a side branch, it has a lot of assets. It may not be certain that there will be any opportunities after arriving in Lin'an Mansion."

"But mother is their daughter after all, isn't it said that mother is a legitimate daughter? Don't you feel bad?"

Mu Shi's face was ugly and he didn't speak.

Mu Yangling slumped his shoulders, "I know dad, but if you go to the army, what will Bowen and Bosi do after that? Bowen doesn't need to think about it. He is so weak, and it is already great to live a safe and long life. Now you can only Pray to gods and pray to Buddha, hope that your second son inherits the divine power of his ancestors, at least in good health, if not, you can only have another one."

The corner of Mu Shi's mouth twitched, and he slapped him, "Are you so unconfident in Dad? I will work hard to build military merits. As long as I reach the fifth rank, I will be expelled."

Although the military status is handed down from generation to generation, as long as soldiers survive to the fifth rank, they can be expelled from their families. Pin's soldiers who join the army have the opportunity to leave their nationality, but they will not. They want to leave some support for future generations.

Even if the descendants do not live up to expectations, there will be grace, and they will not be too miserable.

"Will Dad still be willing?" Mu Yangling looked at him suspiciously.

"If you don't want to part with it, you have to part with it. Does your brother have the body to serve in the army?" Mu Shi looked at his daughter regretfully, "It would be great if you were a son."

Mu Yangling murmured: "There's nothing wrong with girls, if they let me join the army, maybe I can become a general too."

Mu Shi didn't hear his daughter's muttering, and discussed with her: "Your aunt's land is gone. I originally wanted them to leave with us. Now that we can't leave, we can't leave them alone. The family has a lot of land, the most important thing is that neither of us can farm, so why not let your aunt live with us."

Mu Yangling had no objection, "Father, go and ask mother for her opinion."

"Your mother has no objection." Mu Shi knew his wife well, and he could decide these matters by himself.

"Then go discuss it with your aunt."

Ma Liushi sat by the bed silently, Xiuhong and Xiulan stood beside her, Mu Shi said: "Auntie, mother often told me about her childhood, she was only three years old when my grandfather and grandmother left. At the age of ten, you were the one who brought her up. At that time, there was no food at home. You insisted on being hungry and left all the food to my mother. My mother's marriage was arranged by you..."

Ma Liushi wiped away his tears and said, "It's been all these years, what are you talking about?"

Mu Shi half-kneeled in front of her, "Auntie, a few years ago I was sad about my parents, and Wanniang and Bowen were not in good health, so I neglected you. My nephew has always felt ashamed. The fields are under the name of Liu Yuanwai, and Liu Yuanwai is in the roster, those fields may be taken as military fields, why don't you bring your niece and they can live with us."

Speaking of this, Mu Shi was a little embarrassed and said: "You know, I don't know how to farm, not to mention Wanniang, she is not in good health, and there are two young children to take care of. An old family is like a treasure. If you don't mind, our two families will work together as a family, and when the nieces grow up, I will give them a dowry and marry them, and then I will give you a retirement pension."

With tears in the corners of Ma Liushi's eyes, he turned his head to wipe his eyes, choked up and said, "So, isn't it too bad for you?"

Mu Shi smiled and said: "What did Auntie say? I was worried that you would suffer. You also know that I, like my father, are not good at farming, and I will have to give you advice in the future, otherwise our family will only Go drink the northwest wind."

It’s not that Mu Shi is not worried about this. After serving as a soldier, it is obviously impossible for him to go to the mountains to hunt every day, and farming, well, he is a master who can’t survive growing vegetables. Can he really grow food? ?

Mu Shi was infinitely worried.

Ma Liu-shi bowed her head in thought, living on her own is different from being dependent on others. She has nothing to worry about when she gets old, but her two granddaughters are at the time when their personalities are fixed, and she doesn't want to have any bad influence on the two children.

Seeing this, Xiuhong was secretly anxious, so she stretched out her hand and tugged at her grandmother's sleeve. Ma Liushi looked down at her, and Xiuhong murmured: "I like Cousin Ah Ling."

Ma Liu's heart moved, and he nodded in response.
