Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 393
Mu Ai was amused in her heart, and glared at Xihua and the others who were snickering beside her, motioned for them to put the refreshments in their hands, and said, "People live on five grains, and there are always times when they are hungry. It is human nature, this strong man Don't be polite, these are the snacks that the maids baked during the day, if you don't mind the ordinary taste, you can fill your stomach first."

The big man didn't expect Mu Ai to be so considerate, and he solved his embarrassment with a few words. He was grateful and quickly got up to salute and thank him. He poured a glass of apple juice and put it in his hand, the big man looked up at the smile in Xi Fu's eyes, and quickly lowered his head again.

Mu Ai pointed to Dayu again and said, "Mr. Chi, as a woman, it's inconvenient for me to entertain guests late at night. This is my eldest son, Dayu. Let him accompany a few of you to have a light meal later, okay?"

Chi Yuntao quickly stood up and saluted, and said, "Madam, you are welcome. We are reckless to disturb you late at night. How can we delay the eldest son's rest?"

"Mr. Chi, you don't need to be polite. Everyone, please have some refreshments first, and the food and drink will be ready soon. Forgive me for being short of company." Mu Ai smiled, leaving Dayu behind, and went to the back kitchen while Chi Yuntao and the others stood up to send him off. .

Xihua Xiyuan was kneading noodles, and when she saw Madam coming in, she asked, "How much noodles will Madam make? What is the staple food?"

Mu Ai looked at the ingredients shelf, and took some fresh vegetables out of the space, and ordered, "After all, it is an official ordered by the imperial court, and most of the people traveling this late at night are for the sake of the people. We can't wait any longer. Eight vegetables and one soup , in addition to rice as the staple food, bake some stuffed pies, it seems that they are all people who eat a lot, so don't let the guests not be full."

"Yes, ma'am." The girls responded, and began to work in an orderly manner. Xiao An asked again, "Madam, how do you arrange the guest's accommodation?"

Mu Ai thought for a moment, because Wei Duowei, Kang Xiao, Fang Xiaoyuan and four servants were added to the south this time, so he built an additional three-room wooden house before departure. It is much more spacious for his family, but if arrangements The guests are a little crowded.

"Turn on the geothermal heat in the warming room. In addition to drying clothes for the guests, let Xiao Fang and the others lay the floor there for about a night. Their wooden house is let out to entertain guests."

"Yes, ma'am. I'll make arrangements now." Xiaoan called Zhuiyue to go help together, and Mu Ai turned left and right to see that there was nothing wrong, so she went up the second floor from another staircase, comforted the children who hadn't slept soundly, and then Back in the bedroom, he took a book and read it quietly until an hour later, Dayu came to report that the guest had eaten and drunk enough to go to bed, so he praised the elder and asked him to go to sleep too, and get together With spiritual power reaching his ears, he listened attentively to the movement in the wooden house.

It seemed that one of the entourage said, "The crispy fish is so fragrant, it melts in the mouth. The cooks of this family are really skilled."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by others, "Wang Er, you are so stupid, didn't you listen to the adults, where is this, this is the Muxian Mansion! It is the residence of the queen, and the dishes in Xiankelou are famous The world, but they all learned from this mansion, do you think the food here is delicious?"

"No, I thought tonight was just a night of hunger in a ruined temple. I didn't expect to eat such delicious food without saying anything. It's really lucky. When I go back to the government office, I will have a good time with my brothers." Let’s talk about it, their eyes must be red with envy!”

Several other people also laughed loudly, and even clicked their mouths, as if they were trying to reminisce about the delicious food just now, making Mu Ai laugh.

In another room, Chi Yuntao was sitting at the table drinking tea, smiling at the big man gnawing on an apple, and said, "Brother Niu, it's great that I can still eat this fruit after eating so many delicious dishes just now." appetite."

The big man got along with him for a day, and knew that although this man was an official, he didn't mean to look down on his reckless background. This was also the reason why he was willing to go on the same road with him, thinking that it would be good if he could protect him for a while, after all On the way to the south, there are also two mountain forests that are often haunted by bandits.

He smiled naively, "Brother Chi, this fruit is really sweet. My brother is born with a large appetite, so he almost died of starvation when he was a child. Although he is full today, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat such delicious food in the future, so he just eats it." Always thinking about eating a few more."

Chi Yuntao laughed amused by his honesty, "Brother, you should also be careful not to overeat. We have to hurry tomorrow morning. Brother Wei really has some urgent business to do."

"Brother Chi, don't worry, brother won't make trouble." After the big man finished speaking, the two finished the apples in their hands, wiped the juice on the front of their clothes casually, got on the wooden bed, and pulled the fluffy thin quilt to cover their bodies. After a few breaths, he started snoring.

Chi Yuntao, dumbfounded, turned off the lights and went to bed.

Mu Ai withdrew her mind, was completely relieved, and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Chi Yuntao and the others received the clean clothes sent by the maids and thanked them. Accompanied by Dayu, they ate breakfast and carried a large bag of easy-to-storage snacks to Mu Ai. I thanked you solemnly and continued on my way.

Niu Dafu smiled and rode a tall horse that was also much stronger than ordinary horses, reaching out to pat the package behind him from time to time, feeling happy in his heart, that Mrs. Fairy is really a good person, she is such a reckless man, and she can still get such care from her. Jiao Didi's little maids packed so many snacks and fruits for him. If he saves some, he can take some back for the thin man and the others to taste.

Seeing him like this, Chi Yuntao couldn't help secretly praising him, and now he knows why everyone in the world says that Mrs. Xian is benevolent.He is only a fifth-rank official, and he doesn't even have a seat in front of the prince, yet he can receive such kind treatment from her.Even a reckless person like Brother Niu has no intention of underestimating him, which shows how generous his heart is.If Baihua had more princes like this, the lives of the people would be much easier.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became excited. Maybe this time, the crisis he was rushing for could be helped by Mrs. Xian... Then he dismissed this idea, not to mention the urgent report from the court, His Majesty will definitely respond Even if there are five highnesses in Mrs. Xian's party, she will definitely not take risks.

Hesitating like this, the six of them galloped all the way, and arrived at the north gate of Lancheng in the evening. Before they entered the city, they suddenly heard a woman shout, "Is that Big Brother Niu in front?"

Niu Dafu turned his head left and right to search for a while, and finally found the interrogator in the tea shed by the side of the road. He had a goose-yellow dress, a water-green pleated skirt, a pretty face, and a long sword hanging from his waist. He was not the golden girl in his own valley. Who else?Looking at the two people next to him, they are all acquaintances, one is Mr. Bai, and the other is his old partner, Shouhou.

He quickly jumped off the horse and ran over, laughing, "Brother Hou, Mr. Bai, Miss Jin, are you here to pick me up?" After finishing speaking, he touched the shriveled package behind him with a blushing face, and muttered, "I knew Don’t be greedy, and leave a few more apples for you.”

The skinny monkey has been working with him for two years, and has long been familiar with his temper, knowing that this idiot must be thinking of eating again. At this moment, the three of them are feeling anxious, so how can they care about him, so they jumped up immediately Said, "We're not here to pick you up, something happened in the valley, we're going to Huadu, you go with us."

When Niu Dafu heard that something happened in the valley, his eyes immediately widened, he turned around and ran towards the city gate, and pulled Chi Yuntao's sleeve, "Brother Chi, I have met an acquaintance, I have to come back again if I have something to do." I’m going to Huadu, so I can’t go on the same road with you.”

Although Chi Yuntao was puzzled, it was not easy to ask in detail when they met by chance, so he had to tell him to be careful on the road and see you later, so he and a few companions were let off on horseback and returned.

Niu Dafu has a rough heart, but he can also see that his companions have a bad face, especially Mr. Bai, who is always dressed in a brocade white shirt, swinging a gold-painted fan, handsome and handsome, and attracts many young wives to look after him every time he enters the city. The clothes were dirty and turned gray, the fan was not in use, and the lips were cut.

He desperately urged the horse to run to the front, and asked loudly, "Mr. Bai, what happened in the valley, please tell me quickly."

Ren Baiyi couldn't help but twitched his brows when he heard Mr. Bai's voice. No matter how many times I told him it was useless, this idiot never remembered that his surname was Ren and not Bai.But now is not the time to worry about it. He just came out of Huadu, so maybe he may know some news.

"The leader has been poisoned, and the golden doctor said that he needs two kinds of medicines that are both yin and yang, otherwise the leader's life will be lost."

"What! Whoever hurts the leader, I'll kill him."

Seeing that no one was catching up on the road, the thin monkey scolded, "You stupid cow, the leader is injured. If you go, you will die, don't talk nonsense. Doctor Jin thought that the leader was hopeless, so he tried to wake him up. It took a quarter of an hour to confess the last words, but the leader asked us to go to Huadu to find someone, saying that that person has a solution. The medicine given by the golden doctor can only extend the leader's life for half a month. If the person fails to arrive, the leader will be hopeless."

Niu Dafu hurriedly asked, "Who are you looking for, who are you looking for, I'll look for it!"

At this time, Jin Yao, who had been silent all this time, said with tears in her voice, "Mrs. Xian!" After the three words came out, her tears fell again. Every time she said this name these days, she couldn't help it. , others thought she was worried about the leader, and was afraid that she would not invite this distinguished lady. Only she knew that the note, the signature, was the word "immortal".

This fairy lady must be the woman I saw in the Sun Mansion that night. She destroyed the note and prevented the leader from going to the appointment. Unexpectedly, today the leader is dying and needs her to save his life. Once the two meet, won't she After being completely exposed, what will be waiting for her, is it a contemptuous look, or being expelled from the valley, she doesn't want it, she is not reconciled, she is the leader's woman, how can she leave him?
However, if the leader doesn't seek help from this woman, and the leader is afraid of losing his life, what should he do? She can't sleep at night...
