Chapter 294

Simply ask Shen Jiayan directly, what is it that you don't like about yourself?

Shen Jiayan asked Mu Pojun back, where did he fall in love with himself?Can't you change it yourself?
Do you think you are good to a few children?It's okay, she can become brutal in no time!It is not easy to be a good stepmother, but it is very easy to be a vicious stepmother.

As long as Mu Pojun dared, she would dare to plan to deceive the 5000 taels from the hands of several children, and then sell the three children far away, where no one knows.

Just ask Mu Pojun if he dares to bet?Can you believe it?

Shen Jiayan in the past may not have this strength, but Mu Pojun doesn't dare to gamble with Shen Jiayan now.

Mu Pojun was really hurt by Shen Jiayan's attitude, but the last bit of unwillingness in his heart made him want to die to understand, so he only asked, "Why?"

Shen Jiayan was not polite, and only asked with a sneer: You never thought about it. You went to the border this time. To put it bluntly, your life and death are uncertain. It is said that your master is doing another business of beheading and ransacking. How are you doing?

Mu Pojun was dripping with cold sweat, ashamed and afraid to speak.

It seemed that Shen Jiayan had seen through all his thoughts.

In the end, I just squeezed out a word of "sorry!"

Shen Jiayan sneered: "If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it! You made plans for yourself and drew such a big cake for me! I also plan for myself, so I'm thankful for this cake! If you really want to do it for the three children, just work hard." live!"

Mu Pojun didn't say anything else, and left quietly.

Until the message I asked someone to bring, the situation there seemed to be not good, so I asked someone to bring this message because I was afraid that there would be something good or bad. With Zhuangzi land, at least the three children would have no worries about food and clothing.

If he wanted to drag Shen Jiayan into the muddy water, Shen Jiayan would definitely spit at him and teach him how to be a man with two big backhands!

But if it's just to help find suitable Zhuangzi's land, Shen Jiayan is still willing to help with this favor.

That's why today, she met again with the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family.

I thought the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family didn't know about Mu Pojun's situation, but Mu Tianze seemed to know a lot from this posture.

But Shen Jiayan naturally wouldn't ask about it, and after explaining Zhuangzi's affairs, seeing that the weather was getting better, Nanny Cheng also happened to report back, saying that the three brothers and sister's residences had been properly arranged.

Dinner is ready, and I am going to invite everyone to dinner.

There were only Shen Jiayan and the Mu brothers and sisters at the table. With Mammy Cheng's training, Dazui and the others would naturally not be able to eat at the same table with Shen Jiayan. Occasionally, Mammy Cheng would accompany Shen Jiayan to eat. Today is a rare occasion .

Shen Jiayan specifically instructed that today's meals are all home-cooked dishes in Dongguang Village.

Freshly slaughtered chicken stewed with vermicelli and wild mushrooms, baked pumpkin with salted egg yolk, boiled fish, braised pork, and a few side dishes.

When the three Mu Tianze brothers and sisters saw this dish, their eyes lit up.

After Shen Jiayan left Sifang Town, even if their brothers and sisters asked their mother-in-law to cook these dishes, they still couldn't make the taste of Shen Jiayan's cooking.

Seeing it now, when Shen Jiayan signaled to start eating, they couldn't help speeding up after taking a sip.

Shen Jiayan was also affected by the good appetites of the children and couldn't help eating half a bowl of rice.

After eating, he rinsed his mouth, served tea for digestion, and only said a few homely words, and it was getting late.

Nanny Cheng has brought people to guard, and is going to send the three siblings of the Mu family back to their room to rest. Mu Tianze can tell that Nanny Cheng intentionally or unintentionally does not want their siblings to talk too much with Shen Jiayan.

He couldn't help feeling sad in his heart, but he agreed calmly on his face that he was indeed a little tired and wanted to go back to the house to rest first.

Then dragged Mu Yue and Mu Tianrun, who were still somewhat reluctant, back to the room.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, when Mu Tianze and the others got up, they realized that Shen Jiayan had already left the house, so she left a message asking them to have breakfast and wait a while, and when she came back, she would take them to Zhuangzi to have a look.

The three brothers and sisters ate breakfast without knowing what to eat, and waited patiently for Shen Jiayan to come back.

Shen Jiayan entered the yard these two times, but there were not many people serving them, and besides a nurse, the other girls and boys stayed away and did not talk to them.

On the contrary, Nanny Cheng, who accompanied the three brothers and sisters, talked about gossiping, but talked about how difficult it was for Shen Jiayan in the past three years.

It looks beautiful now, but a single woman who is divorced, even if she has the magistrate to rely on, often still suffers.

Especially when dealing with those noble people from the capital, I don't know how much anger and ridicule I suffered at the beginning.

If it were someone with a weaker temper, I'm afraid they would not be able to stand it long ago.

But Shen Jiayan gritted her teeth and managed to come forward. Nanny Cheng once asked her why she was working so hard?
Shen Jiayan only said one sentence, others have a way out, but she doesn't!So you can only grit your teeth and move forward, you can't take a step back!

After all, she has finally made it through the past three years.

The three Mu Tianze brothers and sisters listened very seriously, especially when Madam Cheng mentioned that Shen Jiayan once begged to see a nobleman but was made things difficult for her.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, standing in the snow for a day and a night without closing your eyes, was considered to have moved the nobleman, given the opportunity to meet, and concluded the business negotiation.

The price I paid was that after I came back, I burned for three days and three nights, my whole body was scorching hot, and I almost died.

And Shen Jiayan fought wine with a table of men in order to discuss business with others.She drank a full jar of Nurhong by herself, and knocked all those men to the ground. She managed to get back by herself, and she vomited all the bile...

……

One after another, from Nanny Cheng's mouth, the hearts of Mu Tianze, brother and sister jumped in fear.

It turned out that in places they didn't know, they trusted Shen Jiayan, who always felt that nothing could trouble her, and there were times when she was helpless and embarrassed.

Mu Yue and Mu Tianrun are still young, but they just feel sorry for Shen Jiayan.

But after all Mu Tianze was old, especially after he was selected as a scholar, he understood that it was not the world, and he immediately heard the implication of Cheng Nanny's words.

The purpose of Madam Cheng's remark is obviously to tell them that as a single woman, Shen Jiayan, it's not easy, it's very difficult to get through to this day!If they were more conscientious, they would stop pestering her and bring trouble to her in view of Shen Jiayan's affection for them in the past.

Mu Tianze felt very uncomfortable and wronged.

Are they the ungrateful?Those things they did before were because they were confused and ignorant, but when they became a little sensible, they knew that they were too wrong before.

They came this time, in fact, there are two purposes, one is really to buy Zhuangzi and the land, to leave a way for the three brothers and sisters.

Secondly, I haven't seen Shen Jiayan for a few years, and I am really concerned about it, and want to see with my own eyes how she is doing well.

If they live well, they probably won't bother her again in the future. After all, it's not a good thing to have a close relationship with the man's child in front of her.

But if life is not going well, Mu Tianze has also thought about it. They still have several thousand taels in their hands. They bought dozens of mu of land piecemeal in the town, plus the sugar workshop in Dongguang Village, Every year Shen Jiayan gives them a little bonus, which is really not bad.

On the other hand, when buying Zhuangzi's land, she can also buy one for Shen Jiayan, which is her last way out.

Hearing what Madam Cheng said at this moment, it seemed that they saw that Shen Jiayan's life was getting better, and they shamelessly pestered him.

If it was the previous Mu Tianze, or if he was not facing Nanny Cheng, Mu Tianze might immediately start a lawsuit and leave with his younger brother and sister.

But for Shen Jiayan's sake, he held back.

After being silent for a while, she said in a gentle and gentle way: "What the mother said is very true! Aunt Shen has suffered so much and suffered so much, and she has a good life today. It is because we, the juniors, listen, It's just a heartache, and I can't think of anything else!"

"Please don't worry, Mammy! Besides looking at Zhuangzi, we came this time to see if Aunt Shen is doing well? Seeing that she is doing well now, we can rest assured! After seeing Zhuangzi's fields, we brothers and sisters I will take my leave and go back to town! Unless there is something serious, I won’t bother Aunt Shen again!”

Nanny Cheng blushed, but she was a little embarrassed.

She said this purely because she felt sorry for Shen Jiayan after learning about the previous affairs of her master.

When Mu Pojun came to see Shen Jiayan, she was on the sidelines. After hearing what Mu Pojun said, she felt extremely disdainful. What kind of man did she think Mu Pojun was?
Before, he just ran away before entering the bridal chamber, leaving his new wife and three children to his old mother and younger brother's family, and made his mother-in-law and children suffer so much.

Finally, my master figured out how to get together and leave. With my master's ability and talents, it would not be difficult to find a good husband in the future, but he came together again.

He actually wanted to try the old trick again, asking his master to raise three children and his mother and brother for nothing?

Pooh!What a thick skin!
Therefore, the impression of Mu's family has always been bad, not to mention, Shen Jiayan's relationship with Mu's family has gradually faded and alienated.

The damned Mu Pojun actually sent someone to send a message, asking Shen Jiayan to buy a Zhuangzi and a field for the Mu family.

How does this not worry her?I'm afraid that the three children will be the same as Mu Pojun, and it will be troublesome if they really get involved.

Unexpectedly, this Mu Pojun was not a good guy, but the three children still understood the reason and said such words.

It seems that Mammy Cheng has a bit of a villainous heart.

But Madam Cheng has a thick skin after all, although she was a little uncomfortable, she immediately turned around.

Mimi thanked Mu Tianze with a smile, and said a few heartfelt words: "This old slave told some guests without telling my master, my master has a good temper, the most hard-spoken and soft-hearted! She is right The old slave is very good, and the old slave naturally wants to repay one or two. If you have offended a few of you, if you have said something, you can blame it on the old slave! Don't hate my master!"

"She didn't know about it! In the past few days, she has entrusted a lot of favors for the guest's Zhuangzi and fields—"

Mu Tianze stopped Nanny Cheng's remaining words: "Don't worry, mommy! What you said today can get out of your mouth and into our ears, and no one else will know! What kind of person is Aunt Shen? It couldn't be clearer! If Aunt Shen really had this intention, she would not tell us through Mammy's mouth, but would tell us directly in person, saying that she would draw a clear line with us and never communicate with us forever! So Mammy doesn't need to explain , and we won't misunderstand—"

After hearing this, Madam Cheng looked at Mu Tianze more and more, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's a pity that such a sensible and good child is not of her master's blood!Otherwise, her master wouldn't have worked so hard, and who would be cheaper in the future!
It's not a thing for such a good child to give birth to a father like that!It's really hard to open your eyes!

Mu Tianze didn't know what Nanny Cheng was thinking, and he spoke up when he saw it. Although he couldn't help the disappointment in his heart, he was more relieved.

Just as he was talking, Shen Jiayan came back with a middleman.

He directly took the three brothers and sisters into the car and drove out of the city.

After traveling for about half a day, the carriage finally arrived outside the village. This village has formed a village. There are two big locust trees at the entrance of the village. Many people don't know what to say under the locust tree. When they see the carriage, they all leave. He watched warily in the middle of the road.

Or the middleman got his head out of the carriage, and said angrily: "What are you doing in the road? Why don't you call your Zhuangtou here soon? There is a nobleman who wants to see Zhuangzi! Why don't you get out of the way and wait carefully?"

When the villagers heard this, their sad faces immediately regained their spirits, and several of them rushed to report the news first.

The rest rubbed their hands together, looking at the carriage respectfully and expectantly, hoping that a kinder master would allow them to continue renting and planting this land.

Seeing this in the carriage, Mu Tianze didn't understand, so he asked Shen Jiayan.

The middleman next to him explained with a smile: "Young Master, I don't know. There was an accident in the former master's house of the Zhuangzi. They needed money urgently. They bought everything that could be sold. This is their family's ancestral property. The tenants who rented their land back then, It has been several generations, and generations have worked on this village."

"If you change the owner's family and don't want them to stay, but want to replace them with your own people, don't you worry about them having nowhere to go? I wish a kind master would allow them to continue in this village! "

The man seemed to be familiar with Shen Jiayan, so he said some things clearly: "There is nothing wrong with this Zhuangzi, but the money is urgent. If you don't make a move, I'm afraid it will be broken up and sold. As for these people, it’s not that I speak for them, they are all old-fashioned farmers, and they have been tending these fields for generations. If they really change people, they may not be as meticulous as they are.”

"If the young master really wants to buy them all with Zhuangzi, the price can be lowered. Or increase the rent by [-]%, they will accept it—"

After hearing this, Mu Tianze couldn't help looking at Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan blinked at him, Mu Tianze's heart skipped a beat, he nodded calmly, and looked outside again.

Zhuangtou came up to greet him very quickly, and graciously led him into Zhuangzi.

Sanjin's yard has been around for some years, but it has been guarded by people, but it is also clean and tidy, and it doesn't look decadent.

There are persimmon trees and a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the yard, and there is also a small pond connected to the running water outside, which flows out of the yard after turning a corner.

Roses and some jasmine and other flowers are planted in the back yard, which are blooming vigorously.

On the left of Zhuangzi is a river canal. Walking along the canal, there are several vegetable fields at the beginning, where seasonal vegetables are planted. At first glance, it is carefully prepared and green.

Past the vegetable field is the paddy field. In March and April, the seedlings in the paddy field are also green.

Further on, there is the lake, and a gust of wind blows over, carrying water vapor, seedlings, and the fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

There are white geese and gray-brown ducks swimming leisurely on the lake. The grass on the bank is lush. There are a few shepherd boys riding on the back of buffalo. Deputy idyllic spring map.

Zhuangtou walked slowly with the people, and introduced the approximate annual harvest of the products in this Zhuangzi.

Mu Tianze listened seriously, asking a few questions from time to time.

Zhongren and Shen Jiayan fell behind, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Shen, do you really want to give up this Zhuangzi to this young master?"

Shen Jiayan smiled: "I can't help it, who told me to owe a favor to his parents and elders, no, it's time to pay back the favor! So, in this world, don't owe favors for anything!"

The middleman also laughed.

After walking around, Mu Tianze had an idea in his mind, so he dismissed the middleman and Zhuangtou with an excuse.

Walk up to Shen Jiayan and discuss with her.

Shen Jiayan yawned, she got up too early in the morning, didn't sleep well, and was a little bit listless at the moment.

Lazily said: "There is nothing wrong with the seller, and there is nothing wrong with this Zhuangzi. If you have nothing wrong, you can buy it if you want! These people, you should keep them for the time being, otherwise they will suddenly change owners. It’s not good to push people into a hurry. Second, they are familiar with it, so even if something really doesn’t work, it won’t be too late to replace people slowly after you figure out the situation.”

Mu Tianze nodded, then looked at Mu Yue and Mu Tianrun, and asked their opinions.

The two had never seen a lake before, and they were also very interested in the pond in Zhuangzi, so they naturally nodded in agreement.

Only then did the middleman come and spit out that he would buy it.

Don't tell the middleman, Zhuangtou is happy, seeing that it's getting late, and staying with everyone after lunch at noon before leaving, this is also a good opportunity to show loyalty in front of the future master.

The noon meal was cooked by the woman in the village. Although it was rough, it was also very hearty. It seemed that she had used all her housekeeping skills.

After eating and drinking, we went back to the city all the way.

When he saw the seller, he had a sad face, but his eyes were quite clear. Seeing that the buyer was Mu Tianze, a young man, he didn't show much contempt.

I also heard that he is already a scholar, but he praised him twice for his youth and promise, and he also took the initiative to lower the price by 50 taels.

Mu Tianze decided to buy it on the spot, paying the money with one hand and closing the contract with the other.

Another middleman was in the middle, helping him to go to the yamen to enter the stall, and then he took money from the middleman, and also got Mu Tianze's reward of two taels of silver, and he was even more happy.
