Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 347 Cracks
Mu Ai and his party went up to the fourth floor and walked all the way to the door of the house on the innermost side. A small black sandalwood plaque was hung on the lintel, engraved with three small seal characters of "Peony Chamber", very small and delicate, And the blue-clothed Xiaoer, who had been waiting in front of the door, immediately opened the door wide and welcomed everyone in.

As the name of the house suggests, there are pictures of peonies on the screen, and the carved patterns on the tables, chairs, and window lattices are all peonies in different postures, graceful, proud, shy and half-open, and the decoration of the whole room is noble and elegant.

Mu Ai led the children to sit down, and ordered Xiao Er to set up a small table by the door for Xiao An and the other three. They didn't want to order anything, but each ordered a bowl of braised noodles.

The children chirped and talked about the three years of their separation, which was extremely lively. Mu Ai sat on the side with a smile on her lips, listening carefully, and whenever a child needed her to give circumstantial evidence, she would open her mouth to say something. , "Yes, it's true."

Then, seeing the child proudly lifting his chin as if he had won a Shangfang sword, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Soon, the waiter in blue brought hot dishes one after another. Just as everyone was about to raise their chopsticks, someone suddenly pushed the door in and said with a smile, "There are so many good dishes, can you add me a pair of chopsticks?"

Mu Ai heard the familiar voice, and looked up, the person beside the door was not Xiao Heng, who else could it be!
She wore a royal blue brocade gown with a jade belt around her waist, and a few delicate pendants hung on her waist. There was still a warm smile on the corner of her mouth as before, but her eyes were extremely deep, and sometimes a gleam of light flashed across her eyes.Compared with three years ago, this person is more capable and more mellow. If he wants to do shopping for the lord's family, although his official position is not big, he is also extremely prestigious.

When Mu Ai looked at Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng was feeling emotional. I haven't seen her for three years. This legendary righteous sister of mine seems to have been abandoned by the years. She hasn't changed at all, her eyebrows and eyes are still clear, and her face is still fair Ruyu, her eyes are still warm and friendly. If I have to talk about change, it means that the aura between her brows is even more dazzling, illuminating the entire jade face. In case of being worthy of her, no matter when, he still thinks that no man in the world is worthy of her, but, unfortunately...

"At first, I thought that my eldest brother was busy at the moment, so I didn't send someone to deliver the letter. I missed the children for a while, so I called to see you first." Mu Ai got up to greet Xiao Heng, and said with a faint smile.

Although what happened three years ago, she was very resentful at the time, wishing to break up with Xiao Heng for a while, as if she had never met.After all, as a modern person, who can tolerate a person you trust with all your heart, who actually sends someone to watch you, not to mention that this watcher is also the person you love and love, how ridiculous and cruel.

Especially after Ouyang left, she vented all her anger and grievances on Xiao Heng. For nearly a year, she had no contact with Xiao Heng. The convoy that Yue must have rushed to, the successful opening of various shops, Cheng'er Liniang's soft words, and the doubts of the children, gradually her anger began to calm down.

From the standpoint of Marquis An Guo, his son listened to a woman of unknown origin and wanted to try to grow a new kind of food, even modern parents would have to persuade him a few words, not to mention that this father is still in the powerful class and spends all day in the In the court hall, there is intrigue, and defense has penetrated to the bone, for fear that if one is accidentally caught by the opponent, it will incur the crime of extermination.Sending someone to monitor in case the situation is turned around at a critical moment is probably the most scruples method to get his son's feelings.

Furthermore, since she crossed over, Xiao Heng was the one who helped her the most. He helped build a house, bought new vegetables with heavy money, and planted new food together. He has helped her along the way, and in all fairness, he is an excellent friend and treats her like a real sister.It would be too unfeeling to completely deny his sincerity to each other just because of his father's fault.

Slowly like this, she began to prepare some return gifts and send them to Huadu with the car, and also told Mu Wu that the novelties in the shop should be used by him as much as possible, so as to help him make contacts in Huadu.

If this continues, although the two of them can't return to the closeness like brothers and sisters in the past, it is not difficult to be a close friend or a partner. Unfortunately, since she knew that Ouyang's life and death were unknown, she couldn't help venting her anger, yes, Just to vent her anger, she can't separate things anyway, the person she loves is suffering, struggling on the verge of life and death, and all of this is caused by his father, those whippings, those so-called missions that escaped death, I can't wait to make her want to kill Amber Marquis.

This is also the reason why she went to Sun's Mansion in person instead of living in his Xiaozhuang or entrusting him to inquire about the news when she arrived outside Huadu. After all, they were the ones who killed Ouyang and almost killed her. She can't take another risk...

Seeing Mu Ai's indifference, Xiao Heng felt bitter in his heart, and continued to smile, saying, "It just so happens that all the errands in the palace are done, so come and have a look."

Mu Ai invited him to sit at the table, and several children came forward to pay respects, Xiao An took the bowls and chopsticks from Xiao's second hand, put them away with her own hands, and then returned to the door.

Then everyone chatted some gossips and started eating. After the meal, Xiao Er withdrew the banquet and came in with good tea and snacks.

Simba pestered his mother to take out his big storage box from the space, and began to show off to Tao'er and Cheng'er.

Mu Ai and Xiao Heng were sitting by the window drinking tea and talking. Outside the window was the back garden of the restaurant. In front of them was a small pond. Most of the lotus flowers were planted in the pond. Occasionally, there were fish swimming leisurely under the lotus. With the tail down, the scenery is very fresh and pleasant, especially here is still in the middle of the bustling city, and it is even more unique to find a quiet place in the middle of the bustle.

Mu Ai glanced at it for a while, but it was very similar to the lotus pond in the back of her courtyard at the foot of Shenshan Mountain, so she said with a smile, "Brother, did you steal this lotus pond from me?"

Xiao Heng laughed, "The land here is more than five times more expensive than Kao's. I had to ask someone to dig such a small one for the occasion. Occasionally, when I get tired of checking accounts, I come out to sit and sit. It's a quiet place."

Mu Ai smiled slightly, broke off a piece of snack, threw it into the lotus pond, and asked, "Are my sister-in-law and the child okay, I invited her and the two sister-in-laws of the Wei family to have a gathering in my yard tomorrow, brother But don't stop it."

"No, she's been talking about you in my ear all day, and now I finally see you, and I'm relieved." Xiao Heng replied with a smile, thought for a while, and asked, "I heard, Mu Wu I’m buying mountain land everywhere these days. What are you going to plant, girl? The court is in chaos now, if you believe in big brother, don’t plant it, so as not to be involved..."

Mu Ai interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry, I don't want to grow anything, I just don't like the noise in the city, and I want to buy a small village to live in."

Xiao Heng guessed that she hadn't told him the truth, and wanted to persuade her again, but seeing the faint expression on her face, he could only swallow it back.

What else could he ask for, to be able to talk like this, and to see the lotus pond is already the best result. Last winter, when he heard that the man was dead or alive, didn't he already foresee such a moment?

The two of them stood by the window like this, blowing the wind, and didn't say anything anymore. Once there is a gap between some things, it is difficult to restore the original, such as trust.

The children chatted about two sticks of incense kung fu again, and the sun had already turned to the west. Mu Ai told Xiao An to pay the bill, but Xiao Heng stopped her. Swinging Xiao An back, he smiled faintly, "Then let the big brother spend the money, it's getting late, we'll go back first, if the big brother has something to do, just...send someone to the other courtyard to say something."

Only then did Xiao Heng smile, and he personally sent them downstairs. Cheng'er, Tao'er and Simba Dayu Xing'er made an appointment to go somewhere to play together tomorrow. They were afraid that their aunt would not agree, so they went forward to ask together. Don't you know that Simba Every time they came to a city, they would go out to play alone, and Mu Ai was used to it, so of course they would not stop them, but it made them feel uneasy for a long time, and then they reluctantly parted.

The mother and son went back to the other hospital. The children finally couldn't bear the exhaustion of the long journey, and went back to the room to take a nap while yawning.

Xi Fu lured Mu Wu in to ask for an interview. It turned out that he had finally negotiated a piece of mountain land. Mu Ai was overjoyed and asked, "Where is that mountain land? Is it far from Huadu?"

"Not far, ma'am, it should be said that it is very close. That mountain is only a dozen miles away from the west city gate. It belongs to the property of the marquis's mansion that has declined. For some reason, their mansion urgently needs a large sum of money. It was announced half a month ago that they would sell this property." The top of the hill. Many buyers were interested, but they were all scared off by the price of 1 taels of silver offered by his family. The hill is more than ten feet high, and it is not as large as a hundred acres. This price is indeed too much. Because I couldn't find a place that met my wife's requirements after searching for two days, I went to the door to negotiate, and finally talked about 9000 taels of silver. In fact, the price is still too high, but this place is really good, so I rushed to report to my wife .”

Mu Wu said while looking at his mistress' face, after all, this is the first thing the master ordered when he came to Huadu, if he can't do it well, it will be too embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Mu Ai agreed without hesitation, "As long as you meet the conditions, it doesn't matter how much money you have. You are responsible for paying the money as soon as possible, and the land deed is also good. I will go up the mountain tomorrow afternoon to make arrangements."

Mu Wu didn't understand why his wife was in such a hurry, but he complied immediately, said goodbye and left in a hurry. There were many things to do, and if he didn't hurry up, he couldn't finish it before sunset.

After a night of nothing to say, Cheng'er and Tao'er knocked on the door early the next morning, entered the hall, greeted Mu Ai, and then sat at the dining table with a smile on their face and had breakfast together, drinking lean meat porridge, While admiring, the food at my aunt's house was still delicious, which made the maids laugh non-stop.

After eating, the children took their servants and maids, together with the lazy master Xia Lie, and went out to play together.

Mu Ai ordered Xiao An and others to clean up the grass in the small garden in the backyard, spread thick woolen blankets, and prepared some snacks for food. She sat in the gazebo and sketched drawings while waiting for Liniang and the three to come to her door.
