Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 340 Your Honey, My Arsenic

In the early morning of the second day, the Yang family really sent a car, saying that the old lady missed Brother Kang, and Yi'er and his wife reluctantly packed their luggage, said goodbye to Muai's mother and son, and brought more than a dozen jars of jam and fruit wine , On the road back to Liancheng.

Xing'er suddenly remembered the painting for the mother and son of the Chu family. Before it was given to Yi'er, Simba volunteered to take Fengshou Yushun and the two to chase after him. Finally, he caught up with the Yang family's carriage halfway and handed over the painting to Yi'er. In Yi'er's hand, Yi'er suppressed tears, and thanked Simba and the others with a smile in front of the two ladies in charge of the Yang residence.

Simba went back to the mountain to go to school to listen to everyone, and Xing'er lay down in her mother's arms and shed tears, yelling that she would never marry in the future and just stay at home.It made Mu Ai dumbfounded, at one moment she was worried that her little daughter would suffer from marriage phobia because of this, and at the other moment she felt that she was so unfree, it would be good not to marry.Dayu and Simba made a serious promise that if the younger sister didn't marry, they would raise her for the rest of her life.Only then did Xinger smile again, and took her mother to the stone platform to draw a few beautiful pictures of the lotus pond as a souvenir.

Originally, everyone was only at the end of the flowering period, so after staying for a few more days, the number of people who came to visit gradually decreased, and most of the lotus flowers in the lotus pond had withered, revealing the lotus pods the size of a round bowl inside, full of plump grains. Lianzi raised her face slightly and basked in the sun comfortably.

Many villagers sprang up from a few villages not far away. Two people rowed a small pointed boat, shuttled in the lotus pond, picked lotus pods, and peeled off lotus seeds. Everyone could share A few hundred coppers to buy some raw materials, rice, oil and salt, or to sew new clothes for the wife and children at home.As for the lotus roots at the bottom of the pond, they didn't dare to dig them casually, because that would be suspected of destroying the lotus pond, but they would be arrested by the government, fined money and served hard labor.

However, Mu Ai could not see that those white and tender lotus root joints were rotten in the mud. On a night when the moon was slightly brighter, he dug up more than 300 roots and cooked a whole lotus root feast with his own hands. Enough to feed the whole family for a year.

Simba and Xing'er were sulking for a day because their mother didn't take them to experience the fun of stealing lotus root. In the end, they were so entangled with Mu Ai that they had no choice but to take them there again. The three children got covered all over. In the end, they dug less than ten lotus roots, but they all had extremely happy smiles on their faces.Let Mu Ai lament repeatedly that human nature is evil, and doing bad things is easier to make people happy than doing good things.

The whole family had a great time playing, so they planned to go to Huadu. Tao'er and Cheng'er's second letter had been delivered by the bodyguard team. In the letter, the three children were strongly condemned for only playing and ignoring their high expectations. .

That day everyone was packing up and saluting, preparing to go down the mountain to return to the city the next day, but Fengshou, who was guarding the path at the foot of the mountain, ran up to report that there was a woman at the foot of the mountain who claimed to be Mrs. Sun Fu's young lady.

Mu Ai was teaching her little daughter how to fry couplings, so she picked up a better-looking box and put it in a space to eat on the road. Hearing this, she frowned fiercely. She was really afraid of something. She originally thought that Sun Hao's matter had been resolved. , the grape trellis in his backyard couldn't reach her any more. Unexpectedly, they came to her door. Thinking of what Sun Li said that day, Mrs. Sun's crying skills are really good, and she became a little impatient , simply don't force yourself to deal with it.He called Xiaoan to come to him, gave some instructions, and sent her to dismiss him.

Xiao An went out and found Kong Xi and Lu Yun went down the mountain together, only to see a green cloth carriage parked at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by five or six maids and women, and two or three big men in black were a few steps away It was very fierce, Xiao An and Kong Xi looked at each other and frowned.

Xiaoan took two steps forward, saluted the carriage and said with a smile, "Mrs. Sun is well. Our wife is inconvenient to entertain Mrs. Sun because of her poor health, so I sent a servant to tell her that when she recovers, she will definitely go to the house again." visit."

After a long silence in the car, a weak female voice said softly, "Is she really sick, or did she get sick when she heard that I came?"

As soon as the words fell, another sharp voice came from inside, "Sister is right, didn't she still drink and have fun with others a few days ago? Why did we get sick when we came here? I'm afraid she is too guilty to see us? "

Xiaoan raised her eyebrows, guessing who the speaker was, so thoughtless, the so-called drinking and merry-go-round, but there are three generations of masters of the Sun family, "It turns out that other than Mrs. Sun who came to visit, There is your natal aunt? This is really even more negligent."

"Who is the concubine! I am the second wife of the Sun family!" The sharp voice immediately retorted.

Xiao An glanced at the maidservants of the Sun Mansion next to her, and saw that they all had expressions of disdain on their faces, she vaguely understood, and said with a smile, "Second Madam? Is it Mr. Sun's concubine?"

There was silence in the car for a moment, and the sharp voice was slightly weak, "I am a serious second wife."

Xiao An sneered, "Isn't the second wife a concubine? Mrs. Sun is really a kind and charitable person. A concubine who is so unruly will not even scold her if she grabs words in front of her master."

The man seemed to be irritated, and pushed open the car door with a bang, revealing two women sitting upright inside. The woman in the front seat was a little older, wearing a smoky blue dress that was dragged to the floor, with simple embroidery embroidered on the cuffs. There are cloud patterns, and the hem of the skirt is a lotus-colored butterfly. His complexion is slightly pale, and his eyes seem to hold half a tear all the time, resentful and weak.

The woman on the side seat next to her was much younger, wearing a purple brocade dress with flowing colors and dark flowers, with a few delicate peonies embroidered on the cuffs.The skirt is embroidered with exquisite and complicated patterns, and the waist is tied with a jade belt of the same color, making it even more slender. On the feet are a pair of embroidered shoes with large lotus flowers embroidered on the upper.With raised eyebrows, raised nose, and red lips, her face is seductive and fierce.

At this moment, the car door was wide open, Xiao An and the others could see clearly, and they could easily distinguish the identities of the two.The young woman stretched out her finger and shouted angrily, "What are you, a lowly servant who dares to talk back in front of the master?"

"I'm in charge of the inner courtyard of the Muxian Mansion. Mrs. Xian is close to the big maid, and I don't dare to be a lowly word, but the second lady is right, I'm also a slave!" The second lady opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, especially the sentence that she is also a slave, which really hit her weakness. No matter how nice she said, the concubine is a slave who sleeps with the master, and she can only rely on it. The wife of the main room has a weak temper, which is why she can be so arrogant. If it falls into the hands of a ruthless man, let alone such silk and satin, wearing gold and silver, it is hard to say whether she will be able to eat and wear warm.Therefore, this is also the reason why she tried her best to persuade the eldest lady to come to find Mu Ai, otherwise, with Sun Hao's intentions for Mu Ai, if he really married her back, the wife of the wife is fine, and the concubines might be completely finished .

Xiaoan saw that Mrs. Sun didn't look like a master who could make up her mind, and this concubine's room was obviously not a safe one, so she felt a little pity for Mrs. Sun, such a gentle, modest and unrestrained son, why is there such a mess in the backyard? The woman who couldn't show her face impatiently continued to pester her, and saluted again and said, "Mrs. Sun, our wife also asked the servant to send you a message."

Mrs. Sun sat up straight, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?" The second wife also forgot to be angry, and hurriedly raised her ears, trying to hear clearly.

Xiao An smiled slightly, "Our wife said, your honey is my arsenic, just live a good life, and what you worry about will never happen." After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and took two steps back, and joined Kong Xi and the others to go up up the mountain.

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a long while, she seemed to understand that the woman really didn't bother to compete with her for her husband, so she was slightly relieved.Hearing that the second wife next to her was still scolding angrily, she frowned rarely, raised her airs and said, "Stop talking! Go back."

The second lady was so shocked that she forgot to close her mouth, she didn't understand why the eldest lady, who usually only cried, suddenly gained confidence, but the maids and maids didn't care about this, and hurriedly closed the car door, and drove back to the yard.

Mu Ai heard what happened from Xiao An, and continued to bring her little daughter to work in the kitchen without interest. As long as they were smart enough, it would be fine if they didn't come to provoke her in the future. After all, a few girls in the inner courtyard won't make a big deal. However, Sun Hao has With such a wife and concubine, it's no wonder that he has other thoughts.As for whether he gets angry and punishes his wives and concubines for what they did today, that's not her concern. Since they dare to come to her, they must be prepared to bear the consequences.

In the early morning of the second day, the family went down the mountain, the lotus flowers fell, the tourists were gone, and the old man in charge of the carriages had already returned home, so their three carriages were entrusted to the Sun's other courtyard for storage.These two clever ghosts from all corners of the world followed Kong Xi to get the car out, and when the master and his family got into the car and drove on their way, they shared the news they had just asked in the Sun's residence with everyone.

It is said that Mrs. Sun was fined two months of moon silver because her eyes were swollen from crying, which won the pity of the old lady and she was exempted from the family law.And the concubine who claimed to be the second wife was not so lucky. Instigating the master to do something wrong is not a small crime. After being beaten with thirty lashes, he lost half his life and was sent to a small farm to recuperate. It's just that everyone knows that she has offended three generations of masters, young and old, and she may have to recuperate for the rest of her life.

Xiao An was very relieved to hear that in the car, turned around and looked at the face of the lady who closed her eyes and took a nap, she didn't have any joy, then lowered her head and continued to embroider the handkerchief in her hand...

As soon as the group returned to the courtyard in the south of the city, Sun Hao arrived shortly thereafter and gave away a carload of Cheng Yi, who was too generous. Seeing that Mu Ai didn't refuse to accept all of them, his heart was really bittersweet, and the bitter thing was that he completely understood This woman really doesn't have the slightest affection for him, and the joy is that the two can still be friends in the future.

Covering up the bitterness in his heart, he put on the gentle smile on his face when he first saw her, "Yesterday I found a few friends from the south to drink, and I heard some news about the Brahma Palace."

"Oh? How should I say it?" Mu Ai unconsciously clenched the teacup in her hand, and her heartbeat seemed to have stopped.

　It's so uncomfortable, runny nose, headache, the result of not taking medicine is serious.The eye of the needle in my hand has just grown, so I won’t be going to hang the bottle again, woo woo! !
