"Mu Xiu? The Qiu Muling clan of the Northern Dynasties?"
When Gu Qing heard the name Mu Xiu, he felt very familiar.
She said instinctively.
It wasn't because she remembered who Mu Xiu was, it was simply a guess based on his surname.
"That's right! Mu Xiu is from the Qiu Muling clan, one of the Eight Great Nobles of Xianbei! His father is Mu Shao, the general of the Zhu Kingdom."
Gu Heng has long been used to his little granddaughter's sensitivity.
Therefore, I was not surprised at all when Gu Qing guessed Mu Xiu's origin based on just a surname.
Qiu Muling is one of the eight major surnames in Xianbei. Decades ago, the Northern Dynasties carried out further sinicization. Starting from the emperor, sinicization was promoted from top to bottom.
Not only did they learn Han classics, etiquette, norms, etc., but even their surnames were Chineseized.
Qiu Muling's family name was changed to Mu family.
However, in the past ten years, there have been signs of "restoration" in the Northern Dynasty, and some old Xianbei nobles have changed their surnames back.
Therefore, many nobles sometimes have Han surnames and sometimes Xianbei surnames, which are not too fixed.
Sometimes Mu Xiu is Mu Xiu, and sometimes he is Qiu Mulingxiu.
Gu Qingcheng directly said that Mu Xiu was from the Qiu Muling family, which was also a more accurate statement.
"Mu Xiu is Mu Shao's eldest son, but he is not his direct descendant."
At this point, Gu Heng hesitated slightly, but continued, "His biological mother is an orchid, and her appearance is very outstanding."
Beauty has always been the same.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, skin as good as snow, good at singing and dancing, and a curvy figure... He would definitely be a "heretic" among his own family members.
But if it's a beauty who comes as tribute, the men are still very happy to dote on her.
Mu Xiu perfectly inherited her biological mother’s hair color, skin color and eye color.
They are absolutely different from the black-haired and black-eyed Chinese people.
Therefore, although he was Mu Shao's eldest son, he lost his inheritance rights at birth.
Not even qualified to compete.
You know, the Qiu Muling family is a martial artist, and it depends more on the value of force.
The title of General Zhuguo is not a title. Although it can be passed down in the family, it relies on the ability to lead troops in war, not simply the lineage of the direct eldest son.
As long as Mu Xiu looks "normal", even if he is ugly, he can compete with his brothers who are both direct and concubine.
It's a pity that Mu Xiu just looks so "outstanding".
When Mu Shao saw the newborn Mu Shao with golden brown hair, he knew that his son was useless!
No matter how powerful he is, he cannot inherit the Qiu Muling family's troops.
However, Mu Shao was not completely disgusted.
Whether it was his beloved Mei Ji's child or his first son, Mu Shao still had some affection for Mu Xiu.
Although he denied Mu Xiu's inheritance rights, he also invited famous teachers to banquet him and teach him articles and kung fu.
When he reached the age of ten, he tried every means to find a future for him.
At this time, Gu Yi led his family to flee to the Northern Dynasties.
Although he is a bereaved dog, Gu Yi still has the family name of the Gu family in Wu County and the title of famous scholar.
On the way, Gu Yi became allies with Yu Wensong and successfully caught up with the nobles of the Northern Dynasty.
Therefore, Gu Yi and his Gu family did not decline, and quickly established a firm foothold in the aristocratic circle of the Northern Dynasties.
Mu Shao searched around and then focused on Gu Yi.
He took Mu Xiu to the Gu family and begged Gu Yi to take Mu Xiu into his family.
Mu Shao was a general of the Zhu Kingdom who was on par with Yu Wensong, and he was also from a first-class family in Xianbei.
Although Mu Xiu has a different appearance and a flawed background, he is the eldest son of the general.
As for Gu Yi, although he has successfully established himself in the Northern Dynasty, the more "allies" he has, the better!
Therefore, Gu Yi did not care about Mu Xiu's appearance and officially accepted Mu Xiu as his disciple.
Gu Yi also wrote to Gu Heng about this matter back then.
It was just that at that time, Gu Qingcheng was freeing up his hands and feet to carry out infrastructure construction in Lingnan. Although Gu Heng became a hands-off shopkeeper, he would not really ignore it.
Both the grandfather and grandson were busy with their careers, and they didn't even care that their son (father) accepted a brown-haired, blue-eyed monster as his apprentice.
However, things are different now. When Gu Yi returned, he brought Mu Xiu with him. In the future, he would get along with the Gu family day and night, and Gu Heng had to pay attention to it.
He looked at the ridiculously beautiful face of his little granddaughter. The dark and ugly little girl in his memory was completely gone. Gu Heng couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Alas, I originally thought that my granddaughter, who had suffered from appearance problems herself, would have a "sympathizing" feeling with Mu Xiu, and would be able to better accept Mu Xiu.
But goose, today is different from the past.
A Qing grew up and became so charming that he was not sure whether A Qing still had empathy for an "other" like Mu Xiu.
As for whether Gu Qing can accept it, Gu Heng is not worried at all.
Because according to Aqing's skills, even if he dislikes her in his heart, he won't show it at all.
She can even perfectly portray kindness and intimacy.
However, in his son's letter, Gu Heng could clearly feel that Gu Yi valued Mu Xiu as a student. .
A direct disciple is no less important than a biological child.
Gu Heng hoped that Aqing, as Gu Yi's biological daughter, could get along with Gu Yi's valued disciple sincerely.
The word "sincere" is really rare.
Gu Heng held the letter and felt a touch of sadness well up in his heart.
Gu Qingcheng didn't notice anything strange about her grandfather. She was still immersed in his words.
"Mu Xiu returned to the Southern Dynasty with his father?"
"That's right! If Yu Wenquan takes over, the other generals of the Zhu Kingdom will definitely not accept it!"
"Yu Wensong chose to lie dormant, but a veteran nobleman like Mu Shao may not be willing to succumb to Yu Wenquan!"
Gu Qingcheng speculated while recalling the memories of his previous life.
To be honest, there are obvious differences between Gu Qingcheng and Gu Youyi who are both reborn—
Gu Youyi is very superstitious about her past life experiences and always acts according to the rules of her previous life.
But Gu Qingcheng doesn’t!
The moment she realized she was reborn, she let go of her past life.
Previous life?
Haha, she has been reborn, and her past life can only be her past life.
In this life, even if he was not bound by the system, Gu Qingcheng would choose another path.
At most, the emergence of the system made Gu Qingcheng's path smoother.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng didn't care at all about what happened in his previous life.
She will only work hard according to her own plan.
In addition, she often travels through various small worlds and has experienced too much life. Even if the relevant memories, feelings, etc. are erased, these experiences will not really disappear.
Especially in the recent missions, Gu Qingcheng could no longer completely eliminate everything in the small world of missions due to the influence of his character value.
It seemed like she had really lived several lifetimes.
The past lives of this world have become increasingly blurry.
Mu Xiu?
Mu Buqi? !
She remembered her old friend from her previous life...
