Sitting on a stone at the door of the house, Yang Mu was full of uncertainty about his future. He didn't know how he would survive, but as a person in his twenties, Yang Mu was still confident that he could live on. He should be able to accept the new things here very quickly. However, this was not the original place after all, so he felt a little disappointed.
A burly man hurried over from afar. Yang Mu smiled and went up to him,"Uncle Han, you're back so early!”
"En, eh, nephew, you remember? Have you recovered your memories?" Han Rang looked at Yang Mu in surprise.
"Yes, Uncle Han. After I slept, I remembered everything.”Yang Mu nodded.
"Good, that's great. Let me tell you some good news. Your father has been conferred the title of loyal and brave lieutenant by the general. The title of baron is hereditary. Moreover, the great general wants to take you as his godson. You'll be living a good life in the future. Haha, if Brother Yang's spirit in heaven knows of this news, he can rest in peace.”Han Rang said happily.
When Yang Mu heard Han Rang's words, he did not show much joy. He thought to himself that if he became the Great General's adopted son, his future life would be guaranteed. This was also the best ending now.
"I'll listen to Uncle Han's arrangements." Yang Mu bowed deeply to Han Rang.
"Good, good, haha, hurry up and get ready. Someone will come to pick you up in a while. Your clothes are too rough. Let's go and buy you a new set of clothes.”As he spoke, he pulled Yang Mu to the shops in the city.
After dinner, Han Rang cleaned up the house and made all the necessary preparations. Uncle and nephew sat in the room. The door was opened and they waited quietly for the General's manor to arrive.
Night had fallen.
"Tata! Tata!" The sound of horse hooves came from outside the house. Han Rang hurriedly led Yang Mu out of the house.
A carriage was already parked at the door, and there were many servants around. A graceful old man came down from the horse and walked over with a smile.
"Butler Chen, you're here!" Han Rang hurriedly went forward to greet him.
"Yes!" Butler Chen nodded and looked at Yang Mu, who was beside Han Rang.
"This must be Young Master Yang!" The old man stepped forward and patted Yang Mu's head with a kind expression. Yang Mu, who was in his twenties, still couldn't get used to someone touching his head, but he didn't dodge.
"Greetings, Butler Chen." Yang Mu cupped his fists and bowed respectfully.
"I don't dare to be called Young Master Yang!" The old man quickly helped Yang Mu up, but his face was filled with satisfaction.
"En, well, Brother Han, the master is waiting. I will take Young Master Yang and leave now.”Butler Chen still had a kind expression on his face.
Han Rang did not dare to disobey and hurriedly thanked him. He pulled Yang Mu over and gave him a few more instructions before retreating to the side.
Yang Mu looked deeply at Han Rang, then followed Butler Chen into the carriage. After a neigh, the carriage slowly left.
In the carriage, the butler looked at Yang Mu from time to time, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. If Yang Mu was really seven years old at this moment, he would probably mistake the kind old man in front of him for his grandfather.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent gate. Yang Mu and the butler got off the carriage and saw a plaque hanging in front of the gate. On it were the words " General's Residence of Border City " on a red background!”The gate was very wide, enough for three carriages to pass side by side without being crowded.
For a moment, Yang Mu was filled with emotions. Butler Chen looked at the dazed Yang Mu and smiled knowingly."Young Master Yang, this will be your home from now on! Let's go in!"
"Butler Chen, I've made a fool of myself!" Yang Mu couldn't help but smile sadly.”
Butler Chen was stunned. He thought to himself that this child was really sensible. He spoke politely and was a person who did great things. Then, he smiled and led Yang Mu through the door.
A few servant girls came up to welcome him.
"Yes, bring Young Master to bathe and change his clothes, then come to the hall to greet him.”After Butler Chen gave his instructions, he left alone.
Yang Mu followed a few maids to a courtyard on the left. After turning left and right, they arrived at a courtyard house.
The servant girls led Xiang Ye to the east wing room. They saw that it was foggy inside. After passing through the grill, a large wooden basin appeared in front of them. It was already filled with warm water.
"Young Master, this servant will help you change your clothes?”
A total of four maids followed in, all of them around sixteen or seventeen years old. They also came forward to take off Yang Mu's clothes without any explanation, but Yang Mu refused no matter what. After all, he was in his twenties. How could he bear to let these young girls take off his clothes for him?
However, Yang Mu was only seven years old, and his strength was pitifully weak. After struggling a few times, he gave in. A few servant girls skillfully stripped Yang Mu of his clothes and carried him into the wooden bucket to wash up.
What Yang Mu couldn't stand the most was that these servant girls would take advantage of him from time to time. His little brother had suffered a lot because of this.
The door to the east wing opened very quickly. The first person to come out was a child of six or seven years old. He was dressed in high-quality silk clothes that were a dazzling combination of blue and black. He looked very energetic. With his cute face, anyone would want to go up and hug him. However, his incongruous eyes were a little flawed.
It was Yang Mu, who had just finished bathing.
Four maidservants carried lanterns and led Xiang Ye to the entrance of the main hall. Two guards in white robes stood at the door, carrying large swords at their waists. They were in high spirits. The hall was also brightly lit.
After the announcement, Yang Mu slowly walked into the hall.
The two seats in the main hall were occupied by a man and a woman. The man was General Liu Baiyi. Behind him stood Butler Chen. On the other side sat a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties. It must be the Great General's wife, Liu Shi. Beside the beautiful woman stood a child, about seven or eight years old, staring curiously at Yang Mu.
Both sides were filled with people, but Yang Mu did not have time to look around. At this time, he had already arrived in front of the hall and hurriedly bowed."Great General!"
"Oh, you know me? You don't seem to have seen me before?" Liu Baiyi said in surprise.
Yang Mu smiled." When I came to the hall, I saw that the general had an extraordinary bearing and the aura of a king. Moreover, this is the general's residence. Only one person has such an aura. Who else could it be but the general?!"”
"Good, little child, I didn't expect you to have such foresight. Yang Mu, your father sacrificed his life for the country and has been conferred the hereditary title of Baron. Now that you are a Baron, are you willing to be my foster son?”Liu Baiyi's eyes faintly lit up as he said in a dignified manner.
Yang Mu had no reason to disobey and quickly bowed,"Yang Mu greets foster father."
At this time, a servant came to bring tea. Yang Mu respectfully gave Liu Baiyi and Liu-shi a cup of tea. He also met the child next to him, Liu Baiyi's son, Liu Jie. Then, under the guidance of the steward, he got to know the people sitting on both sides. The entire ceremony lasted for an hour.
In the end, Yang Mu was arranged to stay in a side room in the same courtyard as Liu Jie. Everything seemed unusually calm.
Lying on the gorgeous bed, Yang Mu thought a lot. First of all, he did not understand this world. He first had to figure out what era he was in, where he was, and how he should live. Although he was now the general's adopted son and had a high status, Yang Mu still felt uneasy. He did not know why he was uneasy, so he fell asleep unconsciously…
