Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 303
Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and it took half a month for Muai to recover from the wind and cold. When she moved back to the main house, the yard was already full of dried red peppers and sesame seeds. Cloth bags and peanuts were not ordered by her, so they were only knocked out of the soil and dried in the sun and packed in dozens of wicker baskets.

This day was in mid-October, the north wind was getting colder, and the sky was a bit gloomy, but there was no first snow falling. Dayu brought a dozen children, big and small, and read that article aloud in the east room with the windows open. "Man Jianghong", the passionate work of Yue Fei, a famous anti-golden general, even for these children of a few years old, read it with enthusiasm.A few days ago, the news of the invasion of Southwest Fengcheng came. All the idlers in the teahouses and restaurants abandoned those family members such as whose wife was unruly, who was cheated into buying rotten silk and satin, and began to focus on the war. coming.

After all, the victory against Shang Nanman four years ago was very tragic. Now Nanman has torn up the peace agreement and made a comeback. It aroused everyone's anger.

And this poem by Professor Mu Ai is exactly in line with this trend.When Shuan Shuan heard that his sister had returned, but was bedridden with a cold, he took advantage of the time to say hello and told Mr. Han that he knew about it.Mr. Han was very reasonable, and ordered Wei Xiucai to prepare a gift, and took his wife back to Lijia Village to visit.

As a result, Wei Xiucai was immediately attracted when he heard the poem. He greeted Mu Ai respectfully, asked for a set of pens and ink, and went to the East Wing to start copying. Husband, I called my uncle to come forward to salute, and then happily recited all the poems I had memorized. Wei Xiucai was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and Xinger and Simba's two little heads were chattering and laughing together. I was very happy, and said that my uncle was the kind of nerd that my mother said.Dayu glared at his younger siblings, and quickly gave Wei Xiucai the collection of poems he had copied, and then explained to him the sources of some of the allusions. After a while, the two chatted happily in detail.

Shuan Shuan and Mu Ai were sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and whispering some homely things, while watching several spring equinoxes frying peanuts in a big pot. It is very good to control the heat, first dry the peanuts, and then slowly stir-fry, try to ensure that each peanut is heated evenly, and gradually a special aroma will disperse from the pot, blowing into Manfu along the wind From everyone's noses, everyone knew that their mistress recovered from illness and began to study what to eat again.So, whether it was chopping wood, feeding the horses, or cleaning the yard, all of them showed extremely happy smiles.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Xia Zhi came out with a plate of peanuts. Everyone got a handful, peeled off the blackish shell, and threw the red peanuts into their mouths. It smelled delicious. .Several young people who came to the mansion later gathered together and ate one by one with novelty faces, talking in a low voice, "It turns out that the soil lumps we dug out are so delicious when they are made."

Wen Bo glanced at them with a smile, squeezed open a peanut very cherishingly, and said with a proud smile, "You guys are born with a short lifespan, so it's rare and strange. You will know it later, and you can come to our mansion , It’s all the blessings you have cultivated for several lifetimes. Work hard, and when the time comes, you will also enter the ranking like Mu Twelve, and you may be able to be a big shopkeeper in the future.”

Several younger students scratched the back of their heads and laughed. After finishing their homework, the clever one ran back to the room to write and do arithmetic with his fingers.

Mu Ai took a crooked red pepper, broke it off gradually, and brought it in front of Shuan Shuan's nose. The hot little girl sneezed immediately, and she giggled, causing the little girl to hug her. She acted coquettishly with her arm, "Sister, you bullied me again."

Mu Ai smiled and said, "Don't say you are married, you will have a baby in the future, and your sister will still bully you."

The little girl blushed, glanced at the East Chamber with her big eyes, and whispered, "Sister said such embarrassing things again."

Mu Ai looked carefully at her eyes, except for the shyness and sweetness, there was no trace of resentment in her eyes, she also let go of her heart, and began to think about making some novel and delicious dishes at noon to treat the young couple well.

At this time, Mingyue came in and reported that there was a young son outside the gate who came to visit, saying that he was here for the young master.

Sister Muai was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of Simba's background, her face turned a little bit bad.

Mu Ai frowned, waved to Chun Equinox and the others to put away the coffee table and chairs, got up and went back to the hall, and then told Mingyue to invite the guests in.

Not long after, a young gentleman walked in under the guidance of Guo Huai. The bright red brocade embroidered gold silk gown was flamboyant and enthusiastic, the white jade crown tied his black hair, his slender eyebrows, and his red phoenix eyes. , slantingly facing the sunlight coming in from the upper window, revealing green pupils.Shuan Shuan yelled out in surprise, but immediately covered his lips, and leaned closer to his sister with a little fear.Mu Ai had seen many foreigners with different skin colors and eyes before, so there was no surprise on her face.

Xia Houlie also looked at Mu Ai calmly, it was very strange that there were four women in the room, he immediately believed that this woman was the one he was looking for, even though she had very ordinary pearl ornaments on her head and ears, and her clothes The skirt is also made of cotton cloth, while the young woman next to her is full of pearls and emeralds, and the brocade dress, but the brilliance between her brows is very eye-catching, and it makes her slightly haggard face seem more dignified and noble. .

The most important thing is that he purposely showed different eye colors, only this woman's eyes didn't show any panic or novelty, just raised her eyebrows like that. Seeing someone so plain and natural to face each other, this woman is really as the secret report said... Strange, but he likes it!

The corners of Xia Houlie's lips curled up slightly, a hint of playfulness slipped through his coquettish green eyes, he raised his eyebrows lightly, smiled slightly, bowed and saluted, and said, "I'm Xia Lie, I'm taking the liberty to come to visit, I hope Madam Xian is not to blame."

Mu Ai got up and saluted, and invited him to sit on the right hand side, Chun Equinox went up and poured tea for him.

Xia Houlie gently took a sip from the celadon teacup, and praised, "Good tea." Then he looked at the calligraphy and paintings in the hall, and praised again from time to time.

Mu Ai was anxious at first, but seeing him acting like this, she suddenly relaxed, drinking tea, and occasionally responding.

In the end, Xia Houlie couldn't hold on any longer, he smiled and said, "Madam Xian, as the rumors say, she is really a hero among women, and I admire her unhurried demeanor."

Mu Ai smiled slightly, "Young Master Xia, you are being polite. My concubine is just an ordinary widowed woman, so I can't be called a hero among women. It's just a joke from outsiders. However, Mr. Xia's visit today is not just to praise my concubine. .”

"Madam is self-effacing. Of course, Xia did come to the door today to inquire about something."

"Please speak, Mr. Xia." Knowing that he finally got to the point, Mu Ai put down the teacup, but unconsciously straightened her back, like a tigress waiting to pounce to protect her young.

A flash of understanding flashed in Xia Houlie's eyes, and he said, "In June last year, Xia's sister was trapped in Stone Fortress due to an incident, and lost her five-year-old son. After many searches, I found some clues. I came to the door today to confirm whether the child that Madam picked up at the foot of Shenshan Mountain is the flesh and blood of my sister. I also ask Madam to call out the little son so that Xia can meet him."

The right hand under Mu Ai's sleeve was clinging tightly to the handkerchief, her mind was already in a mess, Simba had been by her side for nearly two years, from the very beginning she never talked or laughed, she only knew that she was sticking to her wooden doll until now. Now the naughty child running and jumping all over the ground, among them, how much painstaking effort she has put in, can be called hard work.At first, she also thought that his family members would come to find him, but as time passed, this idea faded away, and as the relationship between mother and child deepened, she deliberately ignored it.

But she didn't expect that at this moment, someone actually came to the door. It was really a leak in the house and Lian Yeyu. Originally, she thought that without Ouyang, without love, she still had children, and she could watch them grow up and become their own children. son.But is such a small wish not enough?

"Since Mr. Xia can find our family, I believe he must be very sure. However, the world is sinister and people are unpredictable. Since I adopted Simba, I have the responsibility to protect him. Of course, I can't just listen to Mr. Xia's words and call out Son. So, let’s talk about it first, Mr. Xia, what is your nephew’s identification, how about it?”

"Simba? This name... um, it's very interesting!" Xia Houlie raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Madam Xian is very worried. Because Xia and his younger sister are twins, they look very similar. Xia has some similarities. In addition, Xia received a letter from his younger sister, which said that the child was injured when he was playing with his elder brother when he was three years old, and there was a scar on the left side of his chest from being stabbed with a wooden stick. Most importantly, That child should still have a Mo Yupei handed down from their family."

Every time Xia Houlie said one thing, Mu Ai's face turned pale. Although she tried her best not to admit it, the three things he said could indeed match Simba.Simba's original chubby face has gradually slimmed down this year. The shape of his face, bridge of nose, and even his eyebrows are indeed three points similar to Mr. Xia's.When she first picked up Simba, she was bathing and changing him, and she saw the black jade pendant and the scar.And this jade pendant was later received by her in the space, and no one had seen it except her and Ouyang.

Now that Mr. Xia can speak so clearly, he is probably really Simba's family.However, if she really wants to send Simba out, let alone whether Simba will agree, even she is extremely reluctant to give up, so she must cheer up and look for a better opportunity.
