Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 287
When Mrs. Chu heard that Mu Ai was visiting, she quickly accepted the second door with a smile, went into the hall, served tea and sat down, and called her son and daughter to come out to salute, then sent her son to practice calligraphy, and left her daughter to gossiping with her.

Yi'er hasn't seen Mu Ai for more than a month, so she misses this kind aunt very much, and sits next to Mu Ai, "Aunt Xian, I learned how to bake peach cakes with Autumn Equinox the day before yesterday, and my mother praised me The smell of roasting is very good. Aunt Xian, I recently embroidered a skirt, which is the pattern you gave me last time, and my friends all said it looks good..."

Mrs. Chu interrupted her daughter with a smile, "Okay, okay, you girl, you are usually like a gourd, why did you turn into a long-tailed sparrow when you saw your fairy aunt, chatting endlessly."

Yi'er pouted at what her mother said, and twisted her body to act like a baby.Mu Ai smiled and patted her little hand, "It's great to be so lively and cute. Girls don't act like a baby in front of their mothers. They won't have this chance when they get to their husband's house."

Mrs. Chu also sighed, "That's not true. When I think about this girl marrying so far away next year, I regret why I didn't choose a family in this city for her."

Mu Ai smiled lightly, and said directly, "Sister Chu, I came here today to ask you for a favor. My younger sister got married this month, and her parents and grandma passed away. I don’t have anyone close to me. I was worried for a few days, and then I remembered that Sister Chu came. Sister Chu has both children and parents. She is a rare and blessed person. If Sister Chu can help make the bed, so can my sister. Get lucky."

Mrs. Chu was originally worried about some major event, so that Mu Ai could let her righteous brother and Weifu not ask for it, but ask for it on her own head.Let’s not talk about what Mu Ai did for Yi’er in the past, that is, a few days ago, she introduced the young master of the Sun family in Liancheng for her. After her daughter gets married, she will have a place to walk around. someone to turn to.Therefore, no matter what Mu Ai asks for today, she must help.But if it involves political affairs, she is afraid that she will not be able to be the master and cause trouble to her husband.She was in a dilemma, but when she heard that Mu Ai just asked her to make the bed, which was a matter of face and no risk, of course she agreed immediately.

Yi'er met Shuan Shuan once, and asked with surprise in her eyes, "Aunt Xian, sister Shuan Shuan is younger than me, why is it so early..."

Mu Ai smiled slightly, "A few days ago, our grandmother passed away. Isn't it customary here that if Rexiao doesn't marry within a hundred days, it will be three years later. After three years, Shuan Shuan will be 17 years old. I'm afraid It is difficult to find a good family. So I can only marry first."

Mrs. Chu nodded, "Yes, that's the custom here. Where is the in-law's family that Shuan Shuan is looking for?"

Mu Ai took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Speaking of this family, we are the ones in the family. The man is a scholar from Honghu Academy, and he has good character and talent. It's just that he lost his parents since childhood, and was taken by a close friend of his father's." My friend adopted me. The gentleman's surname is Han, which is very admirable. I also asked sister Chu to help make the bed because the man is considered a scholarly family. My sister is worried."

Mrs. Chu quickly waved her hands and said, "It's just making the bed, it's a little effort, so you don't have to be polite."

"The new house is located in Nianzi Hutong in the south of the city. It is not convenient for me to come to the house, so I sent Chun Equinox to pick up my sister."

Mrs. Chu nodded in agreement. The two had a common language because one wanted to marry a younger sister and the other wanted to marry a daughter. They talked about how reluctant they were, and discussed the dowry for more than half an hour.

It was already noon when Mu Ai left and came out, she was thinking about the preparations at home, so she didn't eat any food, and rushed back to the village with Ouyang.

The days passed in a hurry when everyone was so busy that they wished they had two more hands.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the morning of August [-]. Guo Huai and all his hands were busy tying red silk to the dressing table, Eight Immortals table, armchairs, wardrobe and other small pieces of furniture, and then carried them to the carriage. The Qiangong Bed had already been assembled directly at the new house the day before yesterday, otherwise it would be too troublesome to transport such a large piece from here.Xiao Miao and Ruyi folded the thick cotton mattress, the brocade sheets with magpies and plum blossoms, the gold silk pillows with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a big dragon and phoenix quilt, and put them into two square cedar cabinets. The people who got it carried it out directly.Both the spring equinox and the winter solstice changed into festive orange-red dresses, and wore a set of unique silver jewelry. They dressed neatly and dignifiedly. Then they accepted the dowry list handed over by their mistress, and then got into the first car. The carriage went into the city mightily to make a bed.

Mu Ai sat in the hall, drinking tea and having snacks with Liniang and Mrs. Wei Er.The two of them came together by car last night to help, and each gave a set of gemstone jewelry to add to Shuan Shuan's makeup.However, one of them is pregnant for seven months, and the other is the wife of the governor, who can really let them do things.

Mu Ai arranged them to rest in the third courtyard. It was the first time for Mrs. Wei Er to come here, and she loved the clear water as much as Liniang did back then, and the grape trellis beside the pool that shaded the blazing sun. The string of little things is amazing.Tao'er and Cheng'er were delighted to see their mother's visit, and took the two mothers to visit the yard twice and thirdly.Pointing to this is the place where they study, this is their residence, and this is the place where they play. The appearance of presenting treasures on their faces comforted the two mothers.

Mu Ai was in a hurry to manage a marriage, and he knew the two very well, so he let the children act as tour guides.Today, a few little sisters in the village who are close to Shuan Shuan came to give her handkerchiefs, purses and other small needlework to add to her makeup, and Mu Ai arranged for the maids to bring snacks and snacks.Then he dismissed the people who made the bed, and the rest of the dowry and other things were prepared, but he was idle, thinking that Shuan Shuan was going to get married tomorrow, he suddenly felt very sour.

So, put down the teacup, and invited the two of them to go for a walk in the lotus pond behind.Xia Zhi led a few maids to rush there immediately, wiped the chairs, arranged refreshments, and the most important thing was to clear the place. After all, they were all female relatives, so it would be bad if they were bumped by some rough man, not to mention one of them was twin.

Mu Ai supported Liniang with one hand, turned her head and laughed with Mrs. Wei Er, and walked out of the corner door.The children ran back and forth with smiles on their faces, happily following them.

The three of them sat down again in the pavilion, and Mrs. Wei Er said with emotion, "It was strange at first, why my sister is always lazy in the village and doesn't want to live in the city. Only after walking around this time did I realize that she is here as a fairy. .”

Liniang smiled while stroking her bulging belly, "Sister Wei knows that, she is picky, her food and clothing are comfortable and exquisite, and the place she lives in can be worse. Let's talk about this lotus pond." Come on, who in our city has them, even if they are dug in the garden, how can there be any live fish to see."

Mu Ai picked up a piece of snack for Xinger to eat, then hugged her and said with a smile, "I grow lotus to get lotus seeds, and I raise fish not for viewing, but for selling money. My sister-in-law thinks too elegantly of me."

Mrs. Wei Er scolded, "You, you have such a beautiful scenery, you have to become tainted with copper stink to be willing?"

"You can enjoy the beautiful scenery and earn money at the same time. What's wrong with killing two birds with one stone? Even the most elegant person in the world doesn't need money to eat?" Mu Ai retorted casually, turning her head to see Simba and Cheng'er. The man is rolling up his sleeves and playing with mud by the pond. The house has been busy these few days, and the two of them have been playing like crazy. Every night, they are as dirty as loaches. Xia Zhi and the others are already busy, and they have to follow behind them to bathe them Laundry is really hard work.So he turned his head and told Xia Zhi, "Go and tell the two mud monkeys over there that they have to wash their dirty clothes today."

"Yes, ma'am." Xia Zhi responded with a smile, turned around and left the pavilion.After hearing this, Qing Rou, the maidservant behind Liniang, couldn't help showing a hint of distress on her face.He murmured in his heart that his young master, who was rich and precious, had to do his own laundry here, and this fairy lady dared to treat the young master harshly in front of her master.She looked down to see that her master was still smiling, there was no difference, so she could only bury her dissatisfaction in her heart.

Seeing the two naughty boys from a distance, Mu Ai quickly took off her clothes and put them aside, only put on a small gown and started playing again, smiled slightly, and said, "Sister-in-law, you said, if you raise the child with both hands, you will I really don't feel good about marrying and becoming a yellow-faced woman like this."

Liniang and Mrs. Wei Er looked at each other and laughed.They are all very familiar with Mu Ai, knowing that Shuan Shuan is her sister in name, but in reality, she really treats that girl as her daughter.Marrying her out this time, I must be very sad in my heart.That's why they came here just to accompany her and talk.

Mrs. Wei Er patted her hand with a smile, and said, "Which woman in the world is not like this, they all want to marry when they reach their age. Don't worry about it. With the help of our family, Shuan Shuan will definitely not marry in the past." will be wronged."

Mu Ai sighed, smoothed the hair of the little daughter in Shun's arms, and said, "Xing'er, I won't get married in the future, how about staying with my mother for the rest of my life?"

In the past few days, my aunt got married, and Xing Er didn't understand anything else. She only understood one thing. Marriage means leaving mother and home, so she quickly shook her little head like a rattle, and said repeatedly, "Xinger will not marry, and if she does not marry, Xinger will always be with her mother."

"Okay, mother's lucky child is the best. If you must marry when you grow up, take your mother with you. If someone bullies you, mother will support you." Mu Ai immediately kissed her little daughter happily, causing trouble. Made her giggle non-stop.

Marry with your mother?Liniang and Mrs. Wei Er shook their heads amusedly, this mother and daughter are really going to create an anecdote in the world.

　I'm so hungry, I really want to eat, but unfortunately, I don't even have a bag at home. Work hard to code and let hard work drive away hunger!
