In a place fifty miles away from the Great Wall of the Qingyang Pass. Due to the arrival of the storm, the North Hu people who lacked food and items to protect themselves from the cold sent out a team of about fifty people, riding their horses into the territory and plundered and burned down the entire village. When Chen Zhidong heard that he was enraged, he immediately sent his cavalry to pursue. But that group of people from the North Hu came and ran even faster. The Dongyue soldiers chased them for about thirty kilometers, not daring to rashly enter any further, and returned empty-handed.

Chen Zhidong immediately sent guards along the border of Qingyang Pass to patrol the city day and night.

The village where the Mo Family was located was a distance away from the border, so unless the Qingyang Pass was broken, they would not be affected. However, he did not dare to let down his guard. A group of young and strong men from the village were gathered and patrolling the village night by night. Since Mo Qian was exiled to this place, he would definitely be able to do a lot of work like patrolling during the night. He was even the main force.

Mo Qian was also willing to accept it. As a soldier, the thing he despised the most was these barbarians invading and harming the innocent. The invasion of North Hu this time, had ignited his worry for the nation and its citizens.

Every night, with a long saber in his hand, he would patrol the village with a few men until it was early in the morning before he returned home.

Mo Jun and Mo Yin were also infected by the tense atmosphere these few days. They didn't even dare to go outside to play.

Mrs. Faang, who was at home with her two children, was also terrified and did not dare to sleep at night. He didn't dare to sleep until his husband returned.

After being so nervous for two months, when the North Hu Knights were preparing to loot the border villages again and Chen Zhidong led his troops to annihilate all the cavalrymen, he issued a warning to the North Hu and sent someone to apologize and promise not to disturb the citizens of the Dongyue border. Only then did the situation ease down.

When the matter came to an end, it was New Year's Day once again. Mo Qian was invited to bring his family to Chen Zhidong's residence as guests.

Mrs. Chen Zhidong, Mrs. Liu, is the daughter of a former commander in charge of Qingyang Pass." He had a round face with big eyes, a round body and a rich aura. However, he had a straightforward character. Like Chen Zhidong, he was also very hospitable.

When Mo Qian arrived at the front door with his family, she and Chen Zhidong met him at the front door.

Seeing Mrs. Faang and Mo Yin, he enthusiastically pulled them through the door. Chen Zhidong and Mo Qian were left behind to speak.

"Sister-in-law, this girl is really well-born. These days, I've always heard Liang mention her. I haven't had a chance to meet him. " Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I finally got to see her today. She really is someone who loves her daughter."

Mrs. Faang said, "Don't praise her anymore. This girl is becoming more and more mischievous."

"Hey! It was just like the water and soil, the young ladies here were all spicy and straightforward. She was much more restrained than a lady from a noble family who was raised in a room in the capital. I quite like girls like yours. "

Chen Liang wasn't in a hurry to play with Mo Jun, but ran over to tease Mo Yin. "Sister, sister, long time no see. Why don't you know me?"

Mo Yin held Mrs. Faang's hand and said in a sweet and clear voice, "Of course I know you. Aren't you Chen Liang?"

"Yes, I'm Chen Liang, but you can't call me by my name. You have to call me Elder Brother Liang." Chen Liang stared at Mo Yin expectantly.

"Then what delicious things did you prepare for me?" Mo Yin asked.

Her words made Mrs. Faang and Mrs. Liu laugh.

Mrs. Faang said in a strange manner, "What are you thinking of all day long, little glutton?"

Chen Liang quickly took out a paper packet and showed it to Mo Yin. It was a piece of pear paste candy. Because it was covering his chest, the sugar had turned slightly. Chen Liang presented it in front of Mo Yin as if it was a treasure, "Look, Pear Paste Sugar, I specially prepared it for you. I still have it in my room. "

Mo Yin loved sweets the most. When she saw the sugar, she was delighted. "Thank you, Elder Brother Liang." As she spoke, she took the paper bag from Chen Liang and eagerly tasted it.

Mrs. Faang said helplessly, "Look at how anxious you are." "Eat slower."

Mrs. Liu said, "Since these two children are having a good time, let them have a good time over there. Let's talk in the back room. "

Mrs. Faang reminded Mo Yin a few more times, "It's so fun being with big brother. Don't bully big brother with nothing to do, do you understand? "Eat less sugar. Be careful not to break your teeth."

Chen Liang held Mo Yin's hand and said to Mrs. Faang, "Don't worry, Aunt. I'll take a good look at my sister. "

Only then did Mrs. Faang stop worrying and called them to leave.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be elated when she saw her son acting like a completely different person in front of Mo Yin. After entering the room, the servant served some fruits and tea.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Faang chatted as they drank tea, before asking, "Sister-in-law, has your daughter already been booked?"

Mrs. Faang put down the teacup in her hand and said, "I've never ordered this yet. "He's still young, there's no rush."

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, "So, sister-in-law, what do you think of my Liang?"

Mrs. Faang said, "Of course Liang is a good boy."

"I think your family's Yin is also good. How about we arrange a marriage contract for them today?"

Mrs. Faang exclaimed, "How can that be?" My family is now guilty. If you were to marry me, I'm afraid that it would delay Liang's future. "

"What's wrong with that?" The future had come from a single person, it wasn't based on who had delivered it to them. Even if he had someone to rely on to deliver it to him, it wouldn't last for long. I don't even care about these things, but my sister-in-law does. " Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "Tell me something unpleasant." If my wife's family is still the most important official in the capital, how can I possibly get to your family with a mere little general like me? Now, regardless of our status, we will only look at the two children. That punk of mine never liked playing with girls, but he treated your daughter specially. Is this not fate for the two of them? "

Mrs. Faang thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "This is an important matter after all. My younger sister suggested that I take it to heart and go back home to discuss it with Yin's father."

"Is sister-in-law looking down on my family's Liang, or my family background?" Mrs. Liu pretended to be angry.

"Sister, you misunderstood. Naturally, I like both of them. "But …"

"There's no more 'just' over there. My two children are still young. I only mentioned this to my sister-in-law because I saw that you made your daughter look likeable and my family's Liang likes you. What's the point? First, set up your daughter for that kid of mine. When they grow up, if they don't love each other as much as they do now. "Then this marriage doesn't count."

"Sister, do you mean that we should settle this matter privately?" Mrs. Faang said.

"That's what I meant!" Mrs. Liu clapped her hands, "This way, only you and I know about it." When the children grow up, it will naturally be a good thing if they can become a family. If each of them has other intentions, then we will not make a decision on this matter. "

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it shamelessly. My family's Yin has gone all the way to your house. " Mrs. Faang laughed.

"Why do you say that, sister-in-law? We are not the janitors. If we were snobbish, would we still be able to get along with you? " Mrs. Liu smiled and advised Mrs. Faang to drink some tea and eat some snacks.

At this moment, Chen Liang and Mo Yin were in Chen Liang's room. Chen Liang gave Mo Yin all the sugar he had hidden away.

Mo Yin remembered her mother's words, ate two pieces, then stopped and said, "I can't eat anymore, Elder Brother Liang. Mother said that I would lose my teeth if I were to continue eating. "

Chen Liang said, "Then no." I'll get someone to bring us some tea. "

The tea was served. Mo Yin held the cup and tasted the sweetness in her mouth elegantly. Chen Liang had already picked up a piece of beef and passed it to her. "Try this. It's very delicious."

Mo Yin took it and put it in her mouth, tasting it. "What is this?" Meat? "So tough."

"This is beef jerky. Local characteristics, made by my mother. Is it delicious? " Chen Liang said proudly, "My mom made the most delicious beef jerky."

Mo Yin chewed the beef jerky in her mouth. Indeed, the first taste of the jerky was a bit strange. However, the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.

"Yes, it's delicious." Mo Yin narrowed her eyes as she chewed, clearly enjoying the sight before her.

Chen Liang saw that she liked it, so he poured the plate of beef jerky into a handkerchief. She wrapped it up and stuffed it into Mo Yin's hands, "Here, take it and eat it slowly. The more you eat, the better it tastes." "Come, big brother will bring you to see something else."

She pulled Mo Yin along as she stood up and walked out of the bedroom, arriving outside Chen Zhidong's study. There were two guards outside the study. Chen Liang stepped forward and asked, "Is my father's eighth brother inside?"

The two guards shook their heads, and one of them said, "The general's eighth brother is in the front hall."

Chen Liang pulled Mo Yin along and walked towards the hall.

In the front hall, Chen Zhidong was drinking and chatting with Mo Qian and his deputy general, so he didn't have time to pay attention to the two children.

The eighth brother's cage was hanging in the small hall beside them.

Just as Chen Liang was about to pull Mo Yin over, Mo Jun appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path. Seeing Chen Liang holding his sister's hand, he coldly glanced over and asked, "Where did you take my sister?"

Chen Liang smiled and said truthfully, "I took my sister to my room to eat candy. and then come over and show her my daddy's bro. "

Mo Jun remained calm and separated Chen Liang and Mo Yin. He said, "It just so happens that I want to take a look as well."

Chen Liang had no choice but to let go of Mo Yin's hand and lead them inside. "That eighth brother of yours is amazing. He knows how to talk a lot."

Mo Yin was eating the beef jerky Chen Liang gave her. Seeing that her brother didn't eat anything, she took out a piece and handed it to him. "Brother, try this. It's delicious."

Mo Jun took it over and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few times, he said, "It's just dried meat."

"Delicious." Mo Yin put another pill in her mouth.

"Foodie." Mo Jun pinched her face, "Will you go with anyone who gives you something to eat?"

Mo Yin said, "It was given to me by Elder Brother Liang. I just ate it."

"Look at you, since Chen Liang delivers snacks to you all day long." Your face is rounder than the moon. " Mo Jun said in disdain.

Mo Yin didn't mind at all. "Mom said that I was the one who looked good this way."

"I also think that my sister's round face is so cute." Chen Liang took the eighth brother's cage off the shelf.

"You're a sycophant." Mo Jun looked at Chen Liang and said coldly.

"I say, Brother Jun, are you angry that I didn't bring you to eat sweets? Why are you targeting me again? "

"Who cares about sugar?"

"Then she thinks that I stole her sister." Chen Liang smiled, "Don't be like that. Brother Jun, Yin is also my sister."
