"By the way, my uncle's birthday seems to be coming. I heard that my uncle's birthday will be handed over to you this time. It seems that my uncle really values ​​you."

Li Zhicheng sighed, while praising Feng Xi, he sighed at his lack of status in the Feng family.

Feng Xi nodded seriously, "Grandpa also wanted to exercise me, so he handed over such an important thing to me. I have never done it before, but I feel a little stressed, but I will do my best to hold this birthday party and live up to my expectations."

The words were very appropriate, but they were very demeanor of a large family.

"Xiaoxi is worthy of being the most famous lady in our capital. She feels very comfortable when speaking and doing things. These are closely related to the family environment and education since childhood. You can tell at a glance that Xiaoxi is very tutored. Unlike those who are born with mud legs, no matter how outstanding they are, they cannot get rid of the rustic smell in their bones."

Mu Qingcheng praised Feng Xi and criticized Tang Ling, who was criticized by her, implicitly mocked Tang Ling for not having a tutor. Even if she is capable now, she is not a nobleman at heart. No matter how outstanding she is, she is just a mud-legged person.

Tang Ling smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and spoke leisurely in a chat tone, "Fortunately, you didn't say these words thirty years ago, otherwise the entire Mu family would probably be implicated. If I remember correctly, our founding fathers were also from mud legs."

Tang Ling did not continue to say that even the founding fathers were mud-legged, let alone Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu was also from mud-legged and climbed to a high position step by step. During that decade, he spent safely and soundly because he was from mud-legged and had no extreme thoughts, otherwise there would be no current Mu family.

In those ten years, everyone who has experienced it knows that many words cannot be said casually. Just by Mu Qingcheng's words just now, the entire Mu family may have collapsed.

After hearing Tang Ling's words, Mu Qingcheng subconsciously went to see the old man. Sure enough, he saw that the old man's face was not very good. The old man was born with mud legs and was also disgusted with others talking about mud legs. She had committed a taboo today.

Mu Qingcheng immediately smiled and looked at the old man and said, "Dad, I just talk fast for a while, I don't mean that."

Mr. Mu spoke, "Some words that cannot be said thirty years ago, even today thirty years later, you must remember what you are. Don't humiliate your identity if you say something!"

The times have progressed, and the thoughts of many people have also changed. Just like Mu Qingcheng, he always forgot that he was also a family of mud legs. His material life has become rich, and he always thinks that he is superior, which is different from those inferior people.

"It's dad, I'm wrong, I won't dare to do it anymore."

Although the old man was not angry, everyone in this family was afraid that this old man would be afraid of. Any simple words were intimidating. This was the majesty of a high-ranking person.

Sometimes, this kind of majesty is not enough to be spoken at all, just a look or just a radiant momentum that exudes can make people surrender.

Tang Ling really doesn't want to fight these people here. Although she knows language art very well, she doesn't want to waste time.

"Mr. Mu, you come here today. You won't just have a simple meal. If you have anything to say, it's better to say straight to the point."

Mr. Mu glanced at Tang Ling, and then said for a while, "You go to the study with me, I have something to say to you."

Tang Ling stood up and said, "Okay."

Eleventh also stood up, but Old Master Mu said, "You stay, I'll talk to this girl alone."

Eleven frowned. Obviously he would not listen to the old man. Tang Ling turned around and nodded at Eleven with a smile, then patted Eleven's hand, "Don't worry."

It's just two simple words, but it has magical power, which convinces Eleven. The old man's words don't work, but Tang Ling's two words have excellent results.

Mu Haoran did not follow the old man either. He still had great vision and knew when he could follow and when he needed to avoid it.

Although Mu Haoran also wanted to know what the old man would say to Tang Ling, he would not be so ill.

Tang Ling followed the old man to the study room on the second floor. As soon as she opened the door, a scent of books came to her face. Tang Ling glanced roughly and saw that there was a large wooden bookshelf in the study room. You could tell at a glance that it had been for many years, with a quaint atmosphere.

There are many books on the bookshelf, but most of them are books of a relatively old age. The atmosphere of books is relatively strong, unlike modern books, and it looks heavier.

Tang Ling closed the door casually, walked to the opposite side of the old man, and then sat down opposite the old man.

For a moment, the two of them just looked at each other quietly without saying a word. Tang Ling's expression remained the same as before, and in the end, Mr. Mu spoke first.

"Do you love him?"

Tang Ling was not surprised when facing such a direct question, and nodded very calmly, "Yes, I love him."

Hearing Tang Ling's answer, the old man seemed to hear something funny and said with a smile, "Do you know what love is?"

It’s not that Mr. Mu underestimates Tang Ling, but that Tang Ling is really young. Many times, people with high IQ may not be as emotionally literate as Tang Ling’s age, and she is in her prime and always has a longing for love, but this may not be love.

Tang Ling didn't care about Mr. Mu's sneering. She could understand. If she were Mr. Mu, she would think that she might not have a clear distinction between feelings.

But what Mr. Mu didn't know was that Tang Ling had been with two lives. She looked like a child on the outside but was not a child on the inside. She knew very well what love was.

"I don't care what other people's love looks like, whether fulfilling or giving, for me, love is love, there are not so many additional conditions. If the old man wants to persuade me to separate from Eleven, you should not take this effort. If it is anything else, I would rather listen."

Tang Ling's love is very domineering. No matter what the others are, as long as she and Eleven or two of them are in love, no one can break up them.

In other aspects, Tang Ling can be understanding and consider others, but on the issue of Eleven, even if the Heavenly King comes, it will not work.

The old man looked at Tang Ling deeply for a long time before sighing, with a little vicissitudes in his voice, "So you called him Eleven. Hey, it seems that this child is really hard to get out of some knots."

Tang Ling didn't interrupt, she could hear that the old man obviously wanted to say something to Tang Ling, she just needed to listen quietly.

The old man seemed to be trapped in memories and said, "Xiao Mu lived in the Mu family when he was a child. He could have lived happily, but because of his father, Xiao Mu's tragedy later."

As soon as the conversation was opened, the old man continued slowly, "Xiao Mu was very cute when he was young. He was the eldest grandson and the first child in the family. At that time, everyone in the family loved him very much, and he also liked to laugh, was very obedient and lovable."

Tang Ling imagined the appearance of Eleventh when she was young. It was really hard to imagine that such innocent and cute Eleventh would grow into what she is now. At Eleventh, there was no trace of the shadow of her childhood back then.

"Later, his father happened. Since you are a woman recognized by Eleven, you must know some of Eleven's past."

Tang Ling nodded, the old man looked at Tang Ling for a while, and then continued, "She has been living with her mother since then. For a long time, there was no news about Xiao Mu and his mother. It was not until these few years that Xiao Mu showed up."

Tang Ling remained silent. It seemed that the people of the Mu family did not know what they had experienced in the years when Eleven disappeared. They thought Eleven was just taken away by Chu Luo.

"Xiao Mu experienced the destruction of his family very early and wandered with his mother since he was a child. I know that he hated the Mu family in his heart, but I still hope that he could forget this hatred. That shadow has affected his childhood. I don't want his future life, and he also lives in the shadows. It can be seen that you are very protective of Xiao Mu. I feel relieved to see that Xiao Mu is guarding you."

Tang Ling looked up at Mr. Mu, "I didn't expect that there was someone in the Mu family who really thought about Eleven."

Mr. Mu smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were obvious. He knew that he was often worried, "Does it be that you think our Mu family is full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and you can't treat your descendants well?"

Tang Ling nodded bluntly, "To be honest, that's true. At least what I saw today is not sunny."

Hearing Tang Ling's straightforwardness, Mr. Mu sighed deeply, "There is no colder than the heights, especially the location where I am, especially when it is closely related to the country, there will naturally be many helpless things. They are not just for themselves, but for the Mu family. I hope the Mu family can not lose. I think you should also understand that if the Mu family is defeated, it will not be just defeated."

Tang Ling nodded. She knew this. She was helpless in the officialdom. Especially a family like the Mu family, with many eyes fixed on them. If something happened, it would not be a trivial matter.

Mr. Mu looked at Tang Ling with satisfaction and smiled, "I have always observed you, you are not simple."

Tang Ling looked up and her clear eyes met the old man's smart eyes. "It seems that the old man knows a lot."

Mr. Mu smiled smartly, "It's true, but I really want to meet you for a while."

Tang Ling smiled and leaned on the back of the chair, "What's the result."

“It’s better to meet than to be famous.”

Tang Ling curled her lips gently. Although Mr. Mu did not say it clearly, Tang Ling understood Mr. Mu's intention. Although she didn't know how much Mr. Mu knew her, he invited Tang Ling to meet today, just to really meet Tang Ling and see if Tang Ling was suitable for Eleven.

"That look that day was you old?"

Tang Ling suddenly spoke, Old Master Mu was stunned, and then figured out what Tang Ling was saying, and laughed, "That's right, it's me. It seems that your acuity is higher than I thought."

That day, in the private museum, the exhibition hall of antiques stolen by international thieves was displayed. At the end of the auction, Tang Ling felt something was moving in a corner, but when she looked over, there was nothing there, and it seemed that the building was empty.

When he heard Mu Haoran's words just now, he should have accompanied the old man to the private museum. Tang Ling could infer that his gaze should have come from this eagle-like old man.

Tang Ling smiled modestly, "Mr. Mu's ability to restrain his breath is even more powerful. I didn't realize your existence until you left. It seems that I was still too negligent."

Both of them smiled slightly, and everything was silent. Today, Mr. Mu asked Tang Ling to come, just to test Tang Ling. As for the result, it was obvious that he was still satisfied with Tang Ling.

"I am older and have fewer children around me. It would be great if I could have a kind and smart girl like you, like you."

Tang Ling curled her lips, "The one downstairs seems to suit your old taste."

Mr. Mu's lips twitched. Although he knew that Tang Ling was not saying that, he always felt something was implicit when he heard it.

In the end, Mr. Mu shook his head, "Although Feng Xi is very smart and understanding, she is still from a big family, but I can see that she is not suitable for Xiao Mu."

Tang Ling likes to listen to these words, and she is the only one who is suitable for Eleven.

"I thought the big family had no true love, but you made my thoughts a little loose."

Mr. Mu looked at Tang Ling like this and suddenly felt that perhaps this girl could really take Eleven out of those shadows.

"Although I don't object to you being together, it doesn't mean you can be together smoothly. Maybe there is one thing you don't know yet. Xiao Mu is also a military commander, but he has never come forward and he is unwilling to accept the title."

Tang Ling was a little surprised about this, but within the scope of acceptance, Eleven could arrange his position at will in the army. Even a position with technical content such as a military doctor was easily obtained by Eleven. I believe his position would not be low.

However, Tang Ling did not expect that Eleven was so young and was the commander of an army, but he still had no title.

It's like a pie falling from the sky, and the pie fell in front of Eleven. Eleven was too lazy to take a look at it, and they didn't plan to ask for it at all.

If others knew about it, they would probably be pissed to death by Eleven. How many people rush to want it, but Eleven didn't even look at it.

After Mr. Mu's explanation, Tang Ling realized that Eleven had such a high title at such a young age, not because he made any contributions. It was entirely the old man's intention. The old man wanted to give his position to Eleven.

Some positions in China were still as in ancient times, with some hereditary positions. The old man wanted to give eleven, which was hereditary position.

What does this mean? It means that the old man will decide the future head of the family, which is Eleven.

"Oh, it's a pity that this child is unwilling to accept this position. He is not determined to be here, but he still cannot refuse some things. Although he doesn't accept them now, he still has to accept them in the future."

The old man was very persistent in this regard. Tang Ling could confirm that the light emitted from Mr. Mu's eyes was not compromised.

"And once he took over this position, for the sake of the Mu family and for the stability of his position, he would have to join forces with one of the other families. Only in this way can he be invincible. The four major families in the capital, the Mu family, the Chu family, the Feng family, and the Xing family. Among them, the Chu family is the family of Xiao Mu's mother. Unfortunately, he is lonely, and only the Feng family and the Xing family are left. Among these two families, I have a better relationship with the Feng family. We must fight for the Feng family."

Tang Ling just listened to Mr. Mu and did not respond. Mr. Mu continued, "And the most stable relationship between the two families is naturally marriage!"

After all, Mr. Mu still thinks that marriage is the best way. If Tang Ling doesn't want Eleven to take the path of marriage, then she can only find another way.

"Of course, it's not impossible to marry those two families, but it's up to you to do it."

The old man's words were obvious. If Tang Ling wanted to be with Eleven, she must have the strength to ensure the status of the Mu family.

Tang Ling did not rush to express her intentions, but just said, "What should I do? I will let Eleven decide. If he wants to take over the Mu family, I will definitely do my best, but if Eleven doesn't want to take over the Mu family, I will never let the Mu family force Eleven."

Although he did not receive a positive reply from Tang Ling, Mr. Mu also understood what Tang Ling meant. This girl is indeed very suitable for his grandson. I believe that with Tang Ling by his side, this child will be happier.

"Okay, Xiao Mu did not choose the wrong woman."

Tang Ling just smiled and didn't say much. She was the one who stood here today. If another person was changed and an ordinary girl stood here, I'm afraid Mr. Mu would never agree to be with her.

The reason why Mr. Mu did not object to Tang Ling and Eleven was that in addition to considering the happiness of his grandson in finance, he also considered Tang Ling's identity.

Tang Ling did not think that there was anything wrong with this. The status of the Mu family determines their way of thinking and methods of doing things, which is normal.

Only by elevating yourself to that position can you have the capital to talk about other things, and whether it is for yourself or for the Eleventh, Tang Ling will do her best to make herself stronger.

What she wants to do is to be the top of the pyramid. Even if the huge force wants to move her, she must first consider whether she can bear the consequences.

Tang Ling and the old man had a smooth chat. Both of them were smart people and didn't need too much words. At the very least, there was still a tacit understanding.

Tang Ling came out of Mr. Mu's study and saw Eleven leaning against the railing on the stairs, obviously waiting for her.

"Are you finished talking?"

Tang Ling nodded, smiled slightly, nodded Eleven, walked forward and grabbed Tang Ling's hand, "Then go home."
