Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 205 A small profit

The excitement in the old man's eyes eased slightly, and he continued to ask, "Why did you only study for a month with such a good opportunity?"

Mu Ai pretended to smile helplessly, "Old man, I was also young at the time, and I didn't listen to my parents' dissuasion, and secretly went out to the sea to play and was blown there by the sea wind. After one month, I appeared at home inexplicably, and I never found that Where is the island? However, being able to learn a few secret techniques is already a great blessing."

The old man let go of her arm, nodded, and said in agreement, "It's true, not everyone can meet such a great opportunity."

Mu Ai smiled and said, "My parents guessed that I might have been put into the mortal world to practice, and maybe one day I will be found by the Xiandao master. I didn't believe it before, but since my parents suffered, I have been exiled to In our Hundred Flowers Country, there seems to be some kind of power guiding me all the way to the foot of the mountain, and I don't know if there is some connection between it?"

"Oh?" The old man's expression became a little excited again, "According to the legend of the elders, the holy mountain was descended from the gods, and it was covered with immortal herbs and precious medicines. It's just that the gods punished the world's greed and didn't allow the world to take half of it. I tried to go in twice when I was young, but unfortunately there were many poisonous insects and beasts inside, so I had to retreat out to save my life. If what you said is true, then the fairy island must have something to do with the mountain.”

Mu Ai nodded, in fact, she didn't lie to the old man, she had always planned to go to the holy mountain.After all, she will bring out more and more fruits and vegetables in the future, which will definitely attract more interested people. If she can find a quiet paradise on the sacred mountain, there will be a final retreat. Live well anywhere.

The old man is also a child, so he pulled Mu Ai and asked a lot about the fairy island and secret arts. Mu Ai had no choice but to use the fairy island of Penglai in the fairy tale as a prototype to satisfy the old man's curiosity.

In the end, the old man remembered the bottle of spiritual water that Sun Hao drank when he was seriously ill. Mu Ai had promised him that as long as he came back to sit in the medical center, he would provide it for him to study indefinitely.

Mu Ai is not a person who breaks his promise, but these days he was busy and forgot, and immediately moved out a clean wooden barrel stored in the space, filled it with spring water in an instant, and then bid farewell to the old man and grandson who happily started wandering around the wooden barrel Hao and the others returned to Suiyuan.

Just changed into a homely dress, and before he had a sip of tea, Xiao Fu came to see him.Mu Ai thought it was a problem with the medicinal materials, so she quickly called him in.Unexpectedly, Xiao Fu first took a small fir box and a list with a smile, and handed them over with both hands.

It turned out that Liniang held a honey feast today, and two jars of high-quality honey and five jars of ordinary honey were sold for a high price of 250 taels.She knew that Mu Ai didn't like silver bills, so she asked Xiao Fu to exchange them for shiny gold bills.

Such a high price was really beyond Mu Ai's expectation. You must know that the amount of honey in that small jar is extremely small, equivalent to about one catty.If you take a spoonful of flush water every morning, you can last for about two months.On average, a spoonful of ordinary honey costs two and a half taels of silver, and high-grade honey costs more than four taels, enough to feed a family of five for a month.

It has to be said that women are naturally crazy about beauty, especially those wives who are already old and decrepit while watching beautiful maids and concubines surround their husbands.Not to mention a few hundred taels of silver, even if they lose their entire family and change their husbands to stay, they are all willing.

However, Mu Ai also knew that Liniang must have put a lot of thought into this, so she asked Xiao Fu out of curiosity, but he said that he was outside the second gate of the banquet organized by the madam in the inner courtyard, so he didn't know the details.Mu Ai had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart, carefully looked at the names on the list, most of them were the names of Xu Wang in Fengcheng, Liu in Qiushi, etc. I think these official wives also know the truth of keeping a low profile, so they didn't bring any Take the official position of her husband, leaving only her respective names.After all, spending hundreds of taels of silver at every turn, even giving up medicine to accumulate virtue is too eye-catching.Wearing a rich hat on his head is not a good thing for an official. Even the simple people may occasionally think about whether the money of the parents and officials was taken away from them.

Mu Ai nodded, and ordered Chun Equinox to give Xiao Fu a medium reward, and said, "Manager Xiao, I am short of manpower here, please make another trip and send this list to the Chengdong Medical Center. Tell the shopkeeper Mu Liu Find a piece of red paper, copy the name of the person and the amount of money neatly, and stick it in a conspicuous place." As he spoke, he handed the list back to Xiao Fu, who quickly rejected the purse and said with a smile, "Ma'am, you can break it!" I'm a villain, it's just a matter of running errands, how can I ask my wife to reward me with money. Speaking of which, I still have to kowtow to my wife to thank her, the villain's useless son is all thanks to my wife's hard work in teaching him."

"Oh?" Mu Ai has always known that the two servants following Cheng'er are the sons of Xiao Heng's family, very reliable.But they didn't know that one of them was actually Xiao Fu's child.Looking at Xiao Fu's round smiling face, he is only in his early twenties, yet the child is eight or nine years old.

"Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan, which one belongs to your family?"

Xiao Fu was blushing from being scrutinized by Mu Ai's master and servant, and when he heard her ask, he quickly smiled and said, "The little man's name is Xiao Fang, last time he came back, he talked a little about practicing martial arts and reading with the young masters and ladies every day, even eating and drinking. It’s generally the same. The villain is grateful in his heart, and he just thought that when he meets his wife, he must kowtow to thank you.” As he said, he really knelt down and kowtowed three times, pity the parents of the world. Although he is a slave, his son will also It must be a servant. However, he has been with Xiao Heng for so many years, and he has also managed a few shops. Of course, he understands that there are differences between servants.Now my master is the son of Lord Hou who was appointed by the imperial court, and when he goes out to do errands by himself, ordinary seventh-rank officials have to pay him a peer gift.And the son followed the young master and studied under Mrs. Xian's family. In the future, as long as he is loyal, he will also be the young master's confidant, and his future will definitely be better than that of his father.

Mu Ai quickly reached out to help him up. Although Xiao Fang's child is only eight years old, he is steady and careful, and he is very serious about studying and practicing martial arts. Mu Ai likes it very much. Now knowing that it is Xiao Fu's child, it adds a layer of intimacy After all, Xiao Fu had tried his best to help Zhang Luo for more than a month when she first settled down and built a house. Later, he also gave advice to Guo Huai. It should be said that Xianfu has today, and it should be said that he has a part of the credit.

"You don't have to be so polite, Manager Xiao. Since you don't want the reward, I won't force it. It will be a long time in the future. Besides, that kid Xiao Fang is very smart and will become a great weapon in the future. Don't worry."

After Xiao Fu heard this, he quickly said modestly, "The dog is stupid, it's all thanks to the madam's care." However, anyone who saw his eyes and brows was full of joy, and the parents' mouths were modest, and their hearts were full of joy when the child was praised. of.

After Xiao Fu said goodbye, Mu Ai waved his hand to collect the money and went into the space, then took a nap in a happy mood for an hour, got up and made some side dishes and fragrant rice by himself.Sitting down with Ouyang in the hall, they chatted about trivial matters while eating slowly.

Chun Equinox and Xiao An also ate with their heads down on the small table by the window, occasionally raising their heads, and exchanging joyful and smiling eyes with each other.This is the first time after buying this courtyard, there are not many guards, maids and servants. Except for the lights in the main hall, the rest of the courtyard is dark and dark, but the hearts of several people are extremely peaceful. Life is so simple. With that Let the person who is warm in your heart eat together, take a walk together, and slowly walk through the years together...

The weather was fine on this day, and the spring breeze in March wittily faded away most of the coldness. It blows slowly and stirs up the beauty-loving hearts of young women. Buy a piece of tofu in a basket, or go to the embroidery shop to sell a few pouch embroidered handkerchiefs, earn dozens of pennies, and exchange for a box of rouge and gouache that you have wanted for a long time.

Mu Ai stretched out her hands so that the spring equinox could better help her put on a new dress. I have to say that Liniang is a rare and thoughtful sister-in-law. She was thinking about the opening of her medical clinic, so she specially ordered the sewing room to rush to work overnight. Finally, a set of men's and women's clothing was delivered last night.They were all plain materials that she had chosen that day, and the embroidered texts were also the ones that she painted with her own hands.

There is no one in Huawang City who doesn't know that the owner of the food is a woman, and the reason for opening the medical clinic is to earn prestige for herself, so there is no need to hide it, so today I am wearing that set of Sixi Ruyi cloud pattern brocade forging shirt , with a jade-colored palace satin Qianshui skirt, the light concubine-colored embroidery thread starts from the left shoulder, and embroiders a blooming lily diagonally downward. At first glance, people are attracted by this extremely delicate and elegant style. If you look closely, you will find the extraordinary quality of the material. A pair of creamy white low-waisted boots embroidered with Dielian flowers, only half of a golden butterfly slightly exposed outside the skirt.Three thousand blue silks neatly coiled into the temples of flying immortals, a half-moon hairpin inlaid with ten concubine-colored pearls firmly holds the right side of the hair firmly, and a magpie climbing plum hairpin is simply inserted behind the left ear.There are also pearl pendants and bracelets on both ears and wrists, which are not as ostentatious as the red gold, but are enough to show extravagance.

There is no trace of rouge on the face, pure natural skin color, smooth as fat, pink like greasy, there is a touch of beauty between the eyebrows and eyes, looking back at Gu Pan, the whole jade face is faintly radiant.

Chun broke up and was busy with work, and couldn't help sighing softly in his heart, his wife's temperament and appearance, except for the new words learned that day, there is no other word to describe it.

Mu Ai opened the makeup box and looked carefully for a moment, the so-called women are honored to please themselves, wondering if Ouyang will be amazed when he sees himself dressed like this.Covering the mirror in satisfaction, she just smiled like this, and walked out of the room with a trace of hope in her heart...
