Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 232 Marriage
Mrs. Chu and Liniang laughed together, and said angrily, "Why do you act like a mother, and you don't want to marry your daughter to relieve yourself. However, if your family rules are spread, it will be proposed to your two sons." Matchmaker, you are going to break the threshold. Even the servants in your house must have a lot of people who want to marry." After she finished speaking, she sighed, as if remembering something unpleasant, her voice lowered. "As for us women, everyone wants her husband to be single-minded, but it's a pity..."

Liniang interjected, "Madam Chu, don't let her lead you into trouble. My sister has nothing else but a lot of weird ideas. Fortunately, she is the master in her house. She can make troubles as she wants. The two of us Just watch the excitement. At worst, her house gate will be crushed in the future, so we can give her a few sets of door sills."

Mu Ai said hastily, "Oh, that's great, sister-in-law, please remember that my threshold is made of fir, it's not decent if it doesn't match."

Mrs. Chu was so teased that she laughed out loud, envious of the relationship between the two of them, and the funny and affectionate way they talked.

The three chatted and laughed for a while before Chu Yi'er and Autumn Equinox came back from studying. Yi'er shyly brought up a plate of star-shaped biscuits and said respectfully, "Please mother, Mrs. Xiao, and Aunt Xian to taste Yi'er." son's craft."

Of course Muai and Liniang would not refuse, they took one and ate each, Muai praised sincerely, it was crispy and sweet, with a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus mixed in the noodles, no different from those sold in Shiweitian.
Liniang nodded again and again, Chu Yi'er's little face turned even redder after being praised, and Mrs. Chu was also very happy that her daughter's skill was just completed, but she still endured her joy and said modestly, "It's all taught by the autumnal equinox girl, Yi'er The previous two times when she rewarded her, she thought that the master was not around, so she couldn't accept the reward without permission. Today, in front of the girl, she can't push it anymore."

As he spoke, he motioned to the big maidservant in blue to take out a reward envelope of five or two, and handed it to Autumn Equinox, who raised his eyes to look at his master, and Mu Ai smiled, "Since it was awarded by Madam Chu, you can take it. You need to devote yourself to teaching Miss Chu."

Autumn Equinox quickly agreed, took the reward seal with both hands, knelt down and kowtowed to thank the reward.

Mrs. Chu stretched out her hand to help her, "There is no need for such a big gift, you deserve it."

Muai pulled Chu Yier to sit beside her, poured her a glass of honey water with her own hands, and said with a smile, "You're tired of making snacks, drink a glass of water to moisten your throat."

After getting along with her last time, Chu Yi'er was very close to Mu Ai. Under Mu Ai's inquiry, she happily talked about how happy her father and younger brothers were when they tasted the dim sum she made by herself. Gave her something good, etc., happy like a child.

Mrs. Chu sat across from her with a smile on her face and slowly talked with Liniang about food, clothing and jewelry. She didn't take her daughter to leave until Shen Shichu was approaching.

Mu Ai helped Liniang and sent them to the second gate, then went back to the house and sat down again, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, am I overthinking? Why do I hear that Mrs. Chu seems to be testing and beating the person next to me?" What are the girls' ideas?"

Liniang smiled, "You don't live in this city, and you don't hear much about the affairs of these prefectures. I heard a few days ago that this girl who Mrs. Chu originally planned to marry her daughter, was somehow taken by her. The useless nephew of her natal family has been adopted, and she can't vent her anger. She is looking for a suitable candidate. The girls around you are good-looking, can write and count, and understand the rules, don't they? The best candidate. However, I think she also tried a few words on the spur of the moment today, but I didn't expect to be blocked by the weird house rules you moved out. I don't think she will talk nonsense with others, and you should not do this in the future Just kidding."

Mu Ai chuckled, "Sister-in-law, how do you know I'm joking? There is indeed this family rule in my house. From now on, men married by Xing'er and Shuan Shuan are not allowed to take concubines, and Simba and Dayu are only allowed to marry one concubine." Wife. How about it, sister-in-law, if you are pregnant with a daughter, why don’t you give her to Simba first, when people with daughters know the rules in my house, I’m afraid the threshold will be broken.”

Liniang was taken aback when she heard that, it turned out that this righteous sister was not an excuse to reject Mrs. Chu, but such rules are really against common sense... But then she thought about it, this righteous sister is amazing enough, plus Such a family rule is nothing, so he smiled and said, "Definitely, of course it must be settled, such a good thing, how could I miss it. If this is really a little girl in my belly, we will be in-laws. Five years old, not much difference."

"Okay, let's settle this first. However, when the children grow up, if they don't see each other well, or they each have someone they like, we can't force it. Everything is based on the happiness of the children." Mu Ai solemnly promised .

"Of course." Liniang nodded in agreement.

Poor Simba and the unborn little crush, without a chance to express their opinions, were put into engagement by their respective mothers...

After dinner, Liniang returned home in a carriage. Mu Ai and Chun Equinox read and copied as usual, and wrote more than a dozen pages of manuscripts. Painting, very serious.

In the early morning of the second day, Mu Ai took out 400 taels of silver and solemnly handed it over to Dayu and Tao'er, and then asked Kong Xi and the others to protect their safety, then got into the car and went to the medical center in the east of the city with Ouyang.

It has been more than two months since the People's Medical Center opened for outpatient consultation. It has made a name for itself in the poor people's settlements and various villages around Kao City. Everyone knows that the owner of the People's Medical Center is a kind-hearted lady. She is an overseas fairy. The disciples who have been in the world and practiced in the island, fell in love with the spirituality of the sacred mountain, settled here, opened a medical clinic, and gave away medicine to relieve the pain of the people. It is really a blessing from Kao City.

The common people who come to see a doctor every day will hear others talk about it, and then they really got enough medicinal materials with a very small amount of copper coins, and they will be grateful to tell their relatives and friends when they go back, so the people's doctors Museum, the reputation of Mrs. Immortal of Muxian Mansion will become more famous, and more people will come here for diagnosis and treatment.

After the hectic period of the first month, many miscellaneous matters in the medical clinic have now been sorted out, and Mu Liu has become more stable and restrained. Today is the day to buy medicinal materials from Boss Sun. The number of people in the country increased, and the consumption of medicinal materials was gradually increasing.Most of the medicinal materials brought in when the shop first opened had already been used up. Mr. Wang opened an order yesterday, and he went to Boss Sun's shop in person to buy another cart and came back.

In the reception hall, a few young men who accompanied their parents to the doctor's consultation saw Mu Qi and Mu Jiu unloading medicinal materials, and rushed out to help carry them in. They were a little ashamed to thank them in the end. The older one was about to speak when his stomach grunted loudly. It was obvious that he hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning. He worked hard at this time, and his empty stomach rebelled.The young man's face turned red instantly, and he hid behind others and refused to come out.

Mu Qi smiled and said, "The brothers came here early in the morning, and they didn't come to have a bite of hot cakes. Thank you so much for helping us for so long. We don't have much to cook here. How about some brothers who don’t dislike eating, so how about filling your stomach with a bite first?”

Several younger students shook their heads and refused, but they couldn't hold back their hunger, and Mu Qi and Mu Jiu were enthusiastic, and they entered the big kitchen half-pushed.

Dan Yun was busy washing the dishes, when he saw so many people coming in suddenly, he laughed and said angrily, "Brother Mu Qi, Brother Mu Jiu, do you want to prepare food for you folks?"

Mu Qi rubbed his head, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to trouble you, these brothers helped carry a lot of medicinal materials, so we will invite them to come in to fill their stomachs. Is there any soup and steamed buns left for the morning?"

While washing his hands, Dan Yun said with a cheerful smile, "Of course, shopkeeper Liu was like this a few days ago, so I paid attention to it and prepared more food. There is still half a pot of soup, and dozens of steamed buns."

"That's good, come on, a few brothers, don't think it's not good to eat, just eat enough."

Mu Qimujiu greeted the younger students to sit down, and helped Danyun to fill them with a large bowl of bone soup, and put three white and fat steamed buns in front of each of them.The young people were so greedy that they swallowed, glanced at each other, bowed their heads in thanks, reached out to pick it up and ate it, and ate it like a storm, until the steamed bun hit their throats before they stopped.Dan Yun smiled and added more soup to them, and persuaded, "Drink more soup Shun Shun, be careful not to choke."

Several people drank the soup, stood up and thanked them solemnly, and were about to go back to the reception hall. After thinking about it, Danyun gave each of them a few steamed buns left in the drawer. Anyway, the weather is hot now, and the steamed buns I'm afraid it will go bad after a day, so it's better to take it for them. They all come to see a doctor with their parents or relatives, and they can't make it back at noon, so they can have another meal with tea.

A few people refused repeatedly. They were all honest and responsible farmers. They had nothing to do with helping to carry medicinal materials. A full meal was enough, and it would be too impolite to ask for other people's things.Mu Jiu spoke a few words of persuasion, and they heard that if they didn't hold it, they would leave it to rot, so they carefully wrapped it in oiled paper and put it in their arms, then ran back to the reception hall with a happy face, and Some anxious relatives waiting there talked about what soup they drank, ate steamed buns with thin noodles, and finally took out the steamed buns for everyone to see.

Everyone praised, and those who didn't know much about the inside story would stop Liu Quan who was busy pouring tea and cleaning and ask a few questions. He has heard some things there, but he has the three family rules deeply in his heart, of course he will not reveal his own affairs at will, and only briefly said a few words about what the shopkeeper explained.
Now he no longer has to starve and suffer from cold, and he can still get one tael of silver per month. This place is so close to home. My mother came to visit him yesterday and said that the family bought two acres of land and repaired the house. Everyone can live a good life.All this was bestowed by his mistress. In addition to working hard, he repayed the kindness of the mistress and the shopkeeper, and also made a good future for himself.
