The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 301 Xue Yaoxi Arrives at Shatu Village (1)
"Ahem, did you calculate correctly?" Grandpa Shen, who was smoking, was taken aback by the number, choked, and asked Brother Qiu suspiciously.

"Grandpa, there is absolutely no mistake in the calculation, some small money has not been counted yet." Brother Qiu replied.

"Okay, let's spend it, it's just to make everyone happy." Grandma Shen said out loud.

"That's right, the two children will honor their ancestors if they are admitted to Juren, it's not unfair to waste money." Aunt Shen agreed.

"Then I will share the money equally with my second brother's family, and the family will only have more than 600 taels of silver." Uncle Shen suggested, and from Uncle Shen's nonchalant tone, he knew that his family had earned a lot in the past few years.

"Brother, there's no need to do that, our family can just pay for the money. We haven't been around our parents for the past two years, isn't it thanks to the care of the elder brother and the third brother and the family?" Father Shen said aloud.

"Yes, big brother, let my family pay the money, and we must do our best to be filial." Mrs. Zhou also hurriedly agreed.

"How can this be done?" Uncle Shen objected.

"Okay, don't argue, the money will be paid by the second child's family, as long as you have this heart." Grandpa Shen made a decision aloud, with his own considerations in his heart.

Grandpa Shen spoke, and the others no longer objected, so the matter was considered settled.In a blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month. After the Laba, the village began to feel like a new year, and every household was busy.

The emperor in the capital also heard the good news from the frontier. The Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom had ceased fighting, and the two sides were negotiating peace. In fact, they were dividing the territory of the long-extinct Southeast Kingdom.As for why there is a truce, it is because if there is no cessation of fighting, something should happen.These two big countries are fighting, and other countries are always paying attention. If the fighting continues, other countries will also intervene, and the whole world will be in chaos.

It's just that it's obviously not the time for chaos. The two countries will naturally stop the war. They have been fighting for almost two years. If the fighting continues, there will be problems with the reserve grain and treasury.

The Xue residence at this time.

"Master." Mo Yan shouted at Xue Yaoxi.

"What's going on?" Seeing that there was no shadow of a beautiful woman behind Mo Yan, Xue Yaoxi asked aloud.

Xue Yaoxi had just come out of the palace, and he was the one who brought back the news of the border truce.As soon as he entered the capital, Xue Yaoxi ordered Mo Yan to go to Shen's mansion and bring Shen Xuan here, but at this time he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

"Back to master, Miss Shen's family has all returned to their hometown, and they will not come back until after the new year." Mo Yan answered truthfully, listening carefully, one could hear the depression in Mo Yan's tone.

Because Shen Xuan brought Ding Xiang back to the village, Mo Yan couldn't see the person he liked, but Mo Zhu, who preferred his fate, met Qing Lian in Shen's residence.In contrast to the two, Mo Yan was naturally not in a high mood.Looking up at Xue Yaoxi, Mo Yan murmured in his heart: Miserable master, we are both fallen people in the world, we have the same experience, bad luck!
"Clean up and leave Beijing in five days." Xue Yaoxi ordered after pondering. At this time, Xue Yaoxi was very grateful to the emperor.

Because he only received a secret report from Xue Yaoxi and not a battle report from the border, the emperor specially ordered Xue Yaoxi not to leak information about the border in advance, otherwise he would be severely punished.In order to keep it secret, Xue Yaoxi naturally couldn't go back to the barracks, not to mention the emperor wanted to reuse Xue Yaoxi.The reward was renewed, so I gave Xue Yaoxi a certain sentence: I will listen to the orders after the next year, and arrange it by myself during the time before the year.Under such circumstances, Xue Yaoxi's departure from Beijing seems to be a very good choice.

"Yes, this subordinate will make arrangements now." Mo Yan quickly replied, understanding the meaning of Xue Yaoxi's words.

For five days, Xue Yaoxi stayed in the study and finished handling the industrial issues reported by his subordinates.Although Xue Yaoxi has been at the border, but every other month, some subordinates will spread the news of the industry and the capital to the border, so he can handle the matter at hand within five days.

On the morning of the sixth day, Xue Yaoxi took the ink inkstone, and two fast horses drove out of the capital, and the ink bamboo was left in the capital.Not long after, news about Xue Yaoxi's departure from Beijing also reached the emperor's ears.

After Xue Yaoxi and Mo Yan left the capital, they kept heading towards Shatu Village at high speed, and they finally entered the village on the morning of New Year's Eve.At this time, every household was busy putting up Spring Festival couplets, and when they saw two fast horses entering the village, they watched intently and discussed in a low voice.Seeing the direction they were going, everyone knew it in their hearts. It turned out that they were going to Shen Laoer's family.

"Put that lantern a little to the left, yes, that's it, come down and hang another one." Shen Shuoxing directed the servants to be busy at the gate.

"Second Master Shen!" Mo Yan shouted, Xue Yaoxi was still standing beside him, and their horses followed obediently.

Hearing someone call his name, Shen Shuoxing turned around quickly, and after seeing the two of them clearly, he shouted happily, "Brother Xue, the guard of Mo Yan."

"Why are you here?" Before the two could speak, Shen Shuoxing asked another question.

Mo Yan looked at his master and knew what the master wanted to ask most, so he said out loud, "Master Shen and Miss Shen are at home!"

"At home. At home, come in with me." Shen Shuoxing hurriedly greeted.

While speaking, Xue Yaoxi, master and servant, followed Shen Shuoxing into Shen's house.At present, the servants of the Shen family are still those. They all met Xue Yaoxi's master and servant a few years ago. After seeing Xue Yaoxi's master and servant, they basically recognized them all.

"Father, Mother, Big Brother Xue is here." Before Shen Shuoxing entered the living room, he shouted to the inside, and then opened the noren curtain in the living room in a few steps.

Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou were discussing about the holidays. Hearing Shen Shuoxing's voice, he quickly got up and looked at the door of the living room. He was dressed in black.Wearing a cloak.Tall.The imposing Xue Yaoxi came into the line of sight of the two of them, while Mo Yan, the guard behind him, was ignored.

"Yaoxi met Uncle Shen. Aunt Shen, please forgive me for disturbing you today." Xue Yaoxi respectfully bowed to Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou, with a rare smile on his face, even though he was a little stiff.Before the two of them could open their mouths, someone turned his head and said to Mo Yan behind him, "Mo Yan, bring up what you have prepared."

"Yes, master." Mo Yan responded immediately, and then handed over the gift boxes in his hands to Father Shen and Zhou. These gift boxes were prepared by Xue Yaoxi on the way.

Seeing the gift box in front of them, Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou finally recovered from their daze. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said, "This is so embarrassing. Why does Young Master Xue need to spend money to come here?"

"Yes, yes." Father Shen also agreed beside him.

Mo Yan only obeyed Xue Yaoxi's instructions, and put the gift box into the hands of Shen's father and Zhou's somewhat forcefully, and then retreated to stand still behind Xue Yaoxi, but he was thinking of Lilac in his heart.

"Father and mother, go ahead, I'll take Big Brother Xue to find Big Brother." Shen Shuoxing, who had been standing by the side, said aloud.
