Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 43
In this way, the internal and external arrangements are properly arranged, and the manpower is strong. Mu Ai only needs to check the expense account every ten days, and can arrange it casually for the rest of the time.When she was doing things herself, even plowing the land and farming, she hoped that someone would help her, so that she could live a leisurely life, but now that she has become a hands-off shopkeeper, she suddenly feels bored.

Of course, Xia Zhi didn't dare to let his wife do these rough jobs, and hurriedly followed her to persuade her, but it didn't work, so she had to find another broom, and swung it quickly, thinking that he would rush to do more. Let it go.The idea was good, but it was a pity that he didn't expect it. By coincidence, Mrs. Chen, who came out of the kitchen and stood at the downwind window looking at the sky, was being doused by the snowflakes she raised.She was originally the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper of Xiao's house. Her husband worked as a chef in the restaurant, and she also cooked in the small kitchen in the inner courtyard. Occasionally, she thought about some snacks to make the wife happy. She was also considered a celebrity in front of the wife. As a matter of fact, she often asks for anything that goes through her hands, causing everyone in the house to complain, but they dare not say anything because of her deep background.This time, considering her widowhood, Xiao Heng sent her here to learn new dishes.She happily guessed in her heart that her master's righteous sister was a wealthy family after all, but when she came here to see it, she was really disappointed.It turned out that a widowed woman lived in such a remote village with a few servants. Even if the yard was well built, it was still not as good as a big house in the city.I feel a little contemptuous in my heart, even talking and doing things are a little contemptuous.After seven or eight days like this, seeing that everyone including Mu Ai didn't respond, he became even more arrogant.Qiufen and the others are impatient to deal with her, but they don't want to bother Madam with these trivial matters, so they want to bear it. She is not a member of her own family, so it is impossible to live here for the rest of her life, as long as she endures for half a month, and waits for her to go back Xiao's house will be fine.

This morning, Mrs. Chen slept soundly in the warm room, but she couldn't sleep for a long time because she had to get up and prepare meals, so she felt a little resentful.

Mu Ai has been practicing the control of the spirit over the past few days. No matter what she does, she pays attention to maintaining the spirit shield.It's amazing to say that in summer, when there is aura, it is very cool, but in winter, the aura is very warm. This discovery makes her very happy, so even though it snows in winter and the weather is cold, her clothes are still very comfortable. Thin and thin, no matter how hard the spring equinoxes persuade them to add a thicker piece, it is still a plain jacket or a thin padded jacket, which is extremely inconspicuous in the winter snow.At this time, she had swept near the gate of the courtyard again, and Mrs. Chen didn't notice her existence.On the contrary, Xia Zhi was wearing a new goose-yellow padded jacket, which was particularly eye-catching standing in the snow, allowing Mrs. Chen to catch the target immediately.

"Which bastard is it, you've been tossing around here so early in the morning, you don't look at anyone, you're blind!" Her voice was sharp and sharp, causing Mu Ai to frown fiercely. When he turned around and saw it was her, he lowered his face.She is lazy on weekdays, most of the time she spends most of her time reading in the study or writing some plans, and rarely cares about these nosy things in the yard, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know anything, and Chun Equinox once mentioned something to her about Mrs. As for the matter, I thought this woman was just a bit snobbish, but now it seems that I am afraid that she is even more serious. To yell and scold so loudly in the master's yard is either mentally incomplete, or she doesn't think highly of the master's family at all.

Here, Xia Zhi was bending over and trying to speed up the work in hand, when she suddenly heard Mrs. Chen yelling and scolding, she was also a little dazed, looked around, only herself and his wife were in the yard, and she was the one closest to Mrs. Chen .She was not soft-tempered at first, so she stood up straight and retorted, "Sister-in-law Chen, who are you scolding, if I bumped into you by sweeping snow, it was because I was careless, I apologize That's it, as for yelling and scolding so loudly, this is the rule in your Xiao residence, so you don't have to be afraid of being laughed at!"

"Who are you talking about? Bastard, what kind of family is our Xiao's mansion, and what kind of family are you, and you still laugh at us, are you worthy? You lowly slave, just like you, in our mansion, you can't be punished to death." Mrs. Chen didn't expect Xia Zhi to dare to talk back, her face flushed with anger, she crossed her waist, and continued to yell.

Xia Zhi didn't show weakness, and became angry when she heard her insulting her family.

"You have a good family background, what are you doing here? I'm a lowly slave, aren't you? You can't become a master no matter how tall you are. Don't say I'm not in your Xiao's mansion, I'm right there, I also sued the master's house earlier, and beat you to death, you shrew. Look at what good things you have done in the few days you have been here. Apart from disliking food and clothing, and bragging about your ability, what else can you do... "

Xia Zhi was in the middle of speaking, when Autumn Equinox heard voices running out from the kitchen to persuade her to quarrel, and seeing Mu Ai standing in front of the courtyard with a sullen face, she immediately interrupted Xia Zhi, "Don't make any noise, Madam is here."

Mu Ai was so annoyed by these two that she smiled instead, and waved her hands indifferently, "It's okay, let them keep arguing, it sounds fresh to me."

Xia Zhi knew that his wife was good-natured and generous, she didn't like to care about everything, and that she had heavy hands and feet, she often broke teacups and dishes by mistake, and she never punished her.However, Mrs. today is so obviously very angry, but she talks with a smile, but she has never seen it before.Knowing in her heart that Madam was really angry, she quickly knelt down without caring that the snow on the ground wet her dress. "Ma'am, this servant is wrong."

Mrs. Chen also saw Mu Ai standing on the side at this time, thinking of the words she scolded just now, she felt a little scared in her heart, but after thinking about it, she was not her slave and she was not qualified to discipline herself, so she didn't kneel down On the contrary, he greeted Mu Ai as if nothing had happened, "Morning, madam, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Mu Ai ignored her and said directly to Qiufen, "Is breakfast ready?"

Autumn Equinox was at a loss for what to do. Hearing Madam's question, he immediately replied, "Okay, Ma'am. According to Madam's order yesterday, this morning we will have pork buns with cabbage and glutinous rice porridge, as well as stir-fried cabbage and shallots." Popped eggs are two side dishes."

"Understood, don't forget to deliver it to the west courtyard while it's hot. You don't have to take my share, you can share it. Xia Zhi kneels to the study, and Mrs. Chen also goes back to your own room. Don't come out without orders." After Mu Ai finished speaking, she turned and went back to the house. Xia Zhi was so frightened that she began to cry. When Aunt Chen heard that she had not been punished, she completely let go of her restless heart just now, and looked at Xia Zhi contemptuously. Like a victorious general, he went back to his room and continued to sleep in.

Qiufen glanced at Xia Zhi, winked in the direction of the study, and then hurried to look for Chunfen.

After the spring equinox served hot tea and knocked on the door of the study, and heard his wife answering from inside, he slowly opened the door and entered. Xia Zhi was kneeling in the corner of the wall and weeping.Chun Equinox lowered her eyes, as if she hadn't seen her, she held the square plate firmly on the desk, and put the teacup on the side of the table.

Mu Ai looked up at her, put away the pen in her hand, folded the letter paper a few times, and stuffed it into the envelope.Then without speaking, he took a sip from his teacup.
