Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 222 Mother and Child Dialogue
Mu Ai casually glanced at the terrified expressions of the surrounding people, and then said, "However, I have to explain a few words for my shopkeeper. Did you see the sacred mountain next to it? Most of the ingredients used in this dessert are picked from that mountain." It’s really hard to come here, and earning a little silver is not enough for hard work. My righteous brother also advised me to open a few more stores. I don’t know how scarce the materials are. It’s not like his cyclamen, meat and vegetables. You can get it anywhere. Do you think so?"

Wang Er and Zhao Tong's heads were poked like garlic, and cold sweat came down their backs. They peeked at the plaque on the door lintel with the three gold characters "Muxian Mansion" on a black background, and they wanted to slap themselves twice. Having been in Kao City for more than ten years, there may not be any other winks, but even the beggars at the gate of the city know that there are two people not to be messed with, one is the Xiaofu Xiao Heng, the other is the governor Wei Guang, both of them have deep backgrounds, one is the richest, One is the most expensive.

Both of them are also very difficult to climb. However, when Shiweitian opened, two people went to join in at the same time. This is definitely a big event in Kao City. I don’t know where the teahouse restaurant is. What is the boss Mu Gongzi? An unrecognizable person, it was also rumored later that Mr. Mu was actually Xiao Heng's adopted sister, and the novel dishes in the Xianke Building were all grown by others, and the people's medical center in the east of the city was also opened by others a few days ago. Even the two of them have relatives who went to the doctor, and the medicinal materials are really cheap, and now the rumors about this lady in Kao City are even crazier.

I didn't expect the two of them to see the real master today, but both of them felt like crying because they led a team to bully the orphans and widows.Now it’s delicious and good to entertain, maybe they will break their legs in a while, even if they escaped by chance, what about Boss Xiao’s side and the governor’s side? Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Xing Guang who was wailing in the field , Cursing in his heart, "Yeah, yeah, it's you, the troublemaker, why don't you kill me, so as not to cause us trouble."

"Xia Zhi packed two more boxes of these two snacks, and asked the two officials to take them back home for the children to try." Mu Ai saw that Guo Huai had already loaded the car, and called Ouyang in the field to stop, got up and said , "Please help me to bring these perpetrators back to the city. When I see my brother, just tell the truth. My brother will definitely understand that you are deceived by their one-sided words."

Wang Er and Zhao Tong saluted immediately, they knew that this was the meaning of letting them go, and they didn't want to care about it, so they finally let go of their worries, took a few steps back, and followed Guo Huai into the front car, Ah Da A few people threw those disabled people and two pig heads into the car earlier, and everyone listened to them moaning all the way away.

Ouyang wiped the pearl hairpin carefully with his sleeve, and held it to Mu Ai with both hands. When Mu Ai thought of how that Jia scum might have played with this pearl hairpin, she felt sick, but she still took it and handed it to Chun Equinox, saying, "Remember that next time you go to the city and sell it at a pawn shop, the money will be taken to the medical hall to sell a few medicines."

The vernal equinox hastily responded, and Mu Ai turned to several clan elders and said with a smile, "The grandpas were shocked today, and I didn't expect this family fortune to make so many people greedy, maybe it's because of my usual actions." She's too weak. After this incident, she must be tougher in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be accused of violating the rules and laws and marry casually that day. As for the children's school, let's take two days off first. Such a gentleman with bad character cannot teach good students. I will ask someone to look for a respectable old gentleman in the city and please come back." After saying this, he saluted hastily, and went back with the child, leaving The next few clan elders and villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, and found an excuse to go home...

This afternoon, the children went to practice martial arts with Ouyang as usual. After dinner in the evening, the younger ones may have been instructed by their brothers, so they didn't make trouble with their mother, and obediently went back to their room to play by themselves.

Sitting on the chair, Mu Ai looked at Dayu standing in front of her, felt very comforted, stretched out her hand and pulled him to her side, and said softly, "Dayu, tell mom, why do you suddenly want to learn account management?"

Dayu lowered his head, his little face was tense, and his eyes were full of unconcealable resentment, "I...I want to do more arithmetic."

Mu Ai stretched out her index finger and tapped his forehead, and said angrily, "You child, how can you tell lies to your mother? After seeing what happened today, you feel uncomfortable and eager to learn some skills so that you can protect your mother as soon as possible. Is it right?"

Dayu remembered the arrogant and ugly faces of those people, clenched his fists tightly, and his voice was full of hatred, "Mom, they are all bad people, and Dayu will definitely kill them in the future."

Mu Ai was startled, and didn't understand why the child suddenly became so cruel in his heart, so she quickly took him into her arms, patted him gently, and asked softly, "Da Yu, you are still young, and you don't understand the world. The ever-changing thoughts. There are good and bad things in everything. What happened today is very shameful and hateful, but my mother has taught them a lesson. In the future, they will spend several years in prison and will not be able to take the scientific examination. , cut off their official careers, and people who know them will laugh at them. Of course, mother doesn't hate them, but the matter is over and they have been punished enough. Let's not take such unpleasant things to heart A man's heart must be magnanimous, and he must not be blinded by some small hatred, otherwise, he will eventually become a villain who must take revenge. Mom doesn't want you to be that kind of person, do you understand?"

Dayu raised his head, looked at his mother with slightly red eyes, and nodded slightly.Mu Ai touched his head and smiled softly, "Mom is so happy. Our Dayu is a generous and sensible boy. At such a young age, he already knows that he loves his mother and wants to help share the family business. However, Dayu, mother wants to ask you, in your heart, between being a businessman and being an official, which one do you prefer? Remember to ask your heart, and don't consider the situation of our family."

Dayu frowned slightly, not understanding why his mother would ask such a question, but he still thought about it seriously and replied, "Mom, I want to open a shop."

"Why? Dayu, your biological father was born as a scholar, and you like reading so much. Didn't you think that you will be admitted to an official position in the future, and you will be appointed as a marquis?" Mu Ai continued to ask softly.

Dayu was taken aback by the question, blinked his eyes, and said, "Mom, I like reading because the things written in the book are interesting, and I don't want to be an official in the future. When I was young, my father also said that reading is to learn manners. Be sure to study hard, wasting time."

"That's good." Mu Ai also admired Dayu's own father in her heart. Scholars in this era can be so free and easy, and there are not many people who are not keen on scientific examinations to become officials. However, this is also good, she I have always been worried in my heart, if Dayu likes to be an official, but because of selfishness, she let him start a business and take up the family business, I am afraid it will make him feel regretful. Now that I know his true thoughts, she can safely train him Become a qualified successor.

"Da Yu, you still have to study hard and practice martial arts in the future. The purpose of practicing martial arts is to protect yourself from harm at all times. Reading is to enrich yourself and broaden your horizons. In addition, tomorrow's mother will ask Chun Equinox to give you the daily account book at home. Try Take care and learn how to keep accounts. If you think you can do it, mom will find a simpler business for you."

"Yes, thank you mother." Dayu was overjoyed that his mother trusted him so much. He is already quite good at arithmetic now, and it will definitely not be difficult for him to look at the account book.I just don't know what kind of business my mother will let him take care of.

Mu Ai thought for a while, waved his hand and took out a dozen copied manuscripts from the space, put them in Dayu's hands, and said, "Dayu, this is the manuscript that my mother has compiled these days, the name is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" , tells the story of heroes from all sides vying for hegemony in troubled times. Many of the plots here involve strategies and changes. From now on, you will come to pick up the manuscript every night, read it first, and then go to the East Chamber to read it to Listen to everyone, and then listen carefully to what everyone has to say. I believe it will be of great benefit to you. You are still young, and doing business is not as simple as you think. Perhaps it can be said that shopping malls are not much cleaner than officialdom. Mom hopes that you First understand some of the world's situation in the story, and then you will be able to avoid some losses when you actually handle the business yourself. Understand?"

"Yes, Mom." Dayu nodded solemnly, then seemed to think of something suddenly, hesitated a little, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, if Brother Tao wants to watch it too..."

Mu Ai couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You silly boy, my mother told you to read it to the servants at home, why didn't you let Tao'er read it. With his family background, the things he will face in the future may More, it will be good for him to see. In addition, the servants in our house are loyal for the time being, and they have all signed death contracts. In the future, if Shiweitian or the medical center opens in other cities, They can write and count, and they will be the best candidates for the shopkeeper, that is, they will all be your future subordinates. As a superior, in addition to maintaining the loyalty of your subordinates, you must also have a certain sense of mystery, so that people cannot easily guess Your mind, otherwise, if someone has a different heart in the future, it will be easy to use your likes and dislikes to achieve their own goals."

Mu Ai said here to see the children who are not yet ignorant, and felt that she had said too much, so she smiled, "You are still too young, it doesn't matter if mom says you don't understand these things, and you will gradually understand. In short, When everyone is discussing, you have to listen quietly, and finally summarize a few words gently, just to make the finishing point. Do you know?"

Dayu nodded heavily, Mu Ai straightened his clothes for him, lowered her head and kissed his forehead, and said with a smile, "Go to bed early."

Dayu blushed slightly, saluted and went out to return to his room.Tao'er was lying on the table practicing calligraphy, Wei Duo stood aside to help sharpen the ink, looked up and saw him come back, Tao'er laughed, "Why do you run out alone, leaving me to practice calligraphy alone is really boring."

Dayu said to Wei Duo, "Wei Kang and the others are all studying in the east chamber, so you can go too."

Wei Duo put down the ink stick in his hand, glanced at his little master, saw him nodding slightly, then turned around and left.
