Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 289
After hearing the report, Mu Ai let them go down to rest, and when Liniang and Mrs. Wei Er were settled to rest, the children also went back to their rooms.She just went to Dongkua courtyard, and the two little girls, Xiao Miao Ruyi and Qiaoyun Qiaoyue, were busy packing things in the inner room.Shuan Shuan leaned on the bed, while pulling the handkerchief in his hand, staring at the lantern in a daze.

Seeing the mistress coming in, several maids quickly saluted, Shuan Shuan also came to his senses, and wanted to go down to salute, but was stopped by Mu Ai.He patted her on the shoulder and motioned her to wait for a while, then slowly sat on the edge of the bed and said to the girls, "Kneel down."

Xiao Miao Ruyi understood that Madam had something to tell them, so she quickly knelt down, Qiaoyun Qiaoyue was young, and her face was full of fear.

Mu Ai stared at them silently for a long while, then said, "Qiaoyun Qiaoyue, you will marry the young lady to the Wei Mansion tomorrow, and no matter what you do in the future, you must think of your young lady wholeheartedly. Don't blame me for being ruthless when you hear the news of the judgment of the Lord."

Her voice was clear and light, but the two little girls could hear the chill inside, and shivered in unison.They have only been in the mansion for more than a month, and they have never seen the madam so strict, and they quickly replied, "I don't dare, I must take good care of the young lady."

"Remember what you said today. If you take good care of the young lady, your family will be able to grow new vegetables with our house in the future, so that they will not have to worry about food and clothing."

The two little girls suddenly raised their heads in surprise. Seeing Madam's serious face, they immediately kowtowed vigorously.They would not have been sold if their families hadn't been too poor and had no food or clothing.Now that I heard that the family will live a good life in the future and will no longer have to starve or freeze, how can I not be excited, and immediately vowed to take good care of the young lady.

Mu Ai waved them away, then looked at Xiaomiao and Ruyi, and said, "This time Miss is getting married, Qiaoyun Qiaoyue is too young, only the two of them followed, I don't worry, you two have been with Miss for a long time You are smart and capable, so I will serve the young lady for another two years, and you will come back to the mansion when Qiaoyun Qiaoyue can afford the work. There will be no shortage of jobs in Yueyin Mansion, and naturally there will be no shortage of work for your young lady. I will treat you badly. Don’t forget the dim sum or dishes you learned before. When you come back in the future, Shiweitian or Qiweiju will open a new store, so you can also be an internal manager.”

Xiao Miao and Ruyi were originally Shuan Shuan's personal maids. If the wife asked them to serve with them, they would not be able to say anything. However, now that the wife gave them double monthly silver, they can still be in charge when they come back. It is a great reward.Although they also know that Madam will transfer them back again, the reason is largely because they are afraid that they will get involved with the uncle, but there is a third family rule in the mansion. What a wonderful regular wife, who wants to be a concubine?So the two were overjoyed immediately and kowtowed to thank each other.

Mu Aixu helped them up, and said, "Ruyi is irritable, but Xiao Miao needs to be more calm, so in the future, if Ruyi encounters problems, he should discuss with Xiao Miao more, otherwise, if the relationship between the two of you is at odds, what will happen to the miss?" Please, don't blame me for not remembering the past."

Immediately, Xiaomiao and Ruyi knelt down and did not dare to say anything, but Mu Ai saw that they were almost intimidating, so she sent them off.

Turning around, she saw Shuan Shuan sitting on the corner of the bed with her head down, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, couldn't help but took her hand, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm going to marry a wife tomorrow, so why are you crying so easily? My sister just preached like that A few servant girls, you can hear me."

Shuan Shuan nodded, choked up and said, "I heard."

Mu Ai straightened her slightly messy hair, and sighed, "It's good to hear that, I will marry into the Wei family in the future. Although Mr. Han is a adoptive father, he has the kindness of nurturing and teaching Wei Xiucai. You have to take good care of him." Filial piety, you should not be lazy in paying greetings, delivering food, or making clothes on weekdays. Do you understand?"

"I know." Shuan Shuan agreed, but still didn't look up.

Mu Ai had no choice but to hold her in her arms, but found that the little girl's eyes were swollen like walnuts, so she complained dumbfoundingly, "Why are you crying your eyes like this? How can you put on makeup and get married tomorrow?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out the handkerchief and wiped it for her, but the little girl let out a wow, hugged her waist tightly, and shouted, "Sister, Shuan Shuan is wrong, Shuan Shuan is not married!" she cried even louder .

Mu Ai looked at the small head on her chest, and remembered that when she came to Lijia Village, she was lying on the bed with a wound on her head, and Shuan Shuan would boil medicine for her every day, such a small and thin girl, Sometimes even the tip of the nose is rubbed black.Occasionally, when I get candy or delicious food from her, I happily run out to share it with my friends.Every time I was scolded by my grandma because of poor sewing, I would hug myself and cry like this.When Li Sheng's family came back, they hid in the corner of the yard and were dumbfounded after being neglected by grandma.She taught her to write, teach her to make snacks, and taught her to cook. How could she marry her off again in a blink of an eye.

The more she thought about it, the more tears flowed, and Shuan Shuan was almost crying, and comforted her sister in turn. In the end, both sisters gave walnut eyes.

Mu Ai wiped away her tears, supported Shuan Shuan to sit upright, and then said seriously, "Shuan Shuan, in fact, my sister doesn't know whether it is good or bad to marry you to the Wei family. Originally, my sister really didn't want you to marry a villager. In the future, I will be like those women in the village, doing laundry, cooking and taking care of the children, and then Zhang’s parents and Li’s family will gossip with others. I always think that you are not bad in appearance, you can write and count, and you are good at cooking. You must find a good husband and son-in-law, and then live a wealthy and leisurely life. That's why I agree with you to marry into the Wei family, not because of how much money you have, but because of Wei Xiucai's good character and knowledge. Being a teacher is better than marrying a farmer. But now my sister suddenly regrets it. You are innocent and simple by nature, and soft-tempered. Although there is no in-laws to make things difficult for you to marry, it is not easy to take charge of a family. And In the future, when Wei Xiucai becomes an official, it will take a lot of effort to socialize and communicate with other officials' wives. My sister is worried that you will not be able to handle it."

Shuan Shuan twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and said for a long time, "Sister, don't worry, Shuan Shuan will learn."

Hearing her determination, Mu Ai burst out laughing, slapped her forehead hard, and said, "Aren't I being stupid? Any girl shouting not to marry, not to marry, isn't it all happy in the end?" Married, why did you forget about duplicity." After finishing speaking, he nodded Shuan Shuan's little head fiercely, "You bad girl, you made my sister worry about retreating, why are you... Forget it, forget it, Girls are extroverted. They will get married tomorrow, so let's not talk about unnecessary things, let's talk about important things."

Mu Ai reached out and took out a dowry list from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to Shuan Shuan, "This is the dowry list my sister prepared for you, you can take a look at it and put it away, let Xiao Miao Shan set up an account book in the future, and go in and out." You must know it in your heart, this is your private house in the future, and it is also the capital of your life."

When Shuan Shuan heard that it was a dowry, she blushed. She heard from the maid that her sister bought a lot of things, but she was always shy and never asked what it was.

Opening the list, the little girl was so startled that her eyes almost popped out, she stammered and asked, "Sister... this, this..."

Mu Ai smiled slightly, "Silly girl, do you think there is a lot of dowry?"

Shuan Shuan nodded quickly. Two little sisters she was familiar with were already married, and she had seen their dowry. It would be nice to have two sets of silver jewellery.She knew that her sister loved her very much, but it was enough that her dowry was several times richer than others.Looking at it now, when it was so simple to be several times richer, the dowry of the official lady was like this.

Mu Ai reached out to hold her chin in a funny way, then pulled her closer and explained in detail.

"It is said that a married daughter cannot go back to her natal home often, so my sister came up with a good idea to give you the yard left by grandma as a companion house for you. If you miss your sister in the future, you can go back to live in another house for a few days, actually. The last thing is to go back to my mother's house.

The elder sister of Xiao Zhuang'er went to check it in person. The [-] mu of land is full of fertile land. Now it is full of corn, and it will be harvested in a month or so. Remember to send someone to watch the farmer harvest it.The produce in this field will be your private money in the future. Those farm households had a very difficult life before. Don’t be too stingy. You can win their hearts by giving them some favors after the autumn harvest, but how much you give and what you do. You think about it yourself, you will also be the mistress of the house in the future, you can't rely on others for everything, you have to learn to make up your own mind.

These wooden utensils are all dead things, just keep them for your daily use.You should take good care of these jade ornaments, antiques or pens, inks and inkstones. In the future, when Mr. Han celebrates his birthday or Wei Xiucai is in danger to give gifts to his superiors and colleagues, you should take the initiative to take them out, so that he will think you are virtuous and general.Although you are married now, but you are still young, you should keep these gold and silver jewelry and wear them at home on weekdays. If you go out, you will wear these jade hairpins or pearl jewelry. After Wei Xiucai becomes an official in the future, you will have to socialize with those officials and wives , just wear those few sets of gemstone jewelry, after all, you represent the face of the Wei family.Those brocade gauzes are kept as coats for meeting guests, and those cotton cloths are also of the best quality, good for home dresses or as gifts to servants.

The most important thing is these medicinal materials, you should keep them properly, don't tell others casually, if you must use them, you should ask your husband or Mr. Han first.

In the end, there is the 2000 taels of silver in the box. You can take it out two years later when Wei Xiucai takes the exam or when the family has difficulties, but you have to remember that this is your dowry, not the treasury of the Wei family.Your husband is a man who must be responsible for supporting the family. You can't let him develop the habit of relying on your dowry for everything, understand? "
