Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 442
Mu Ai said, put away the box, opened the account book again, pointed to the annual ledger numbers of several shops, and said, "Food for the Sky, Qiweiju, and Fresh Fruit House, although Food for the Sky released some snacks Fangzi, but due to the relationship between the ingredients, it will always be far ahead of other dim sum shops in the future. The fruits in the fresh fruit shop are all watered by the mother with spring water. Even if the fruit trees sold in the future bear fruit, they will not be in our shop. It sells well, so even if there are more fruits on the market, there is no need to panic and lower the price. Qiweiju was opened by the five of you at the beginning, no matter how Taoer and Chenger are in the future, as long as the shop is still there, the dividends will not be less As for the People’s Medical Center, although it’s not profitable, my mother will still bring out a few good herbs every year, and I won’t lose any money, so I just save some good deeds for the family, which is always beneficial...”

Dayu listened to his mother telling him everything in detail, and his heart was thinking of planning for the three brothers and sisters. Finally, he couldn't hold back his tears. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, "Mom, son..."

Mu Ai thought he was worried that he would not be able to take care of all the business for a while, so she quickly wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Mom is just giving you an explanation first, and she didn't just let you take it all away. Don't worry, your master Ouyang said that after we get married, our family will go south to see the sea as usual, and we can live our lives as we should."

Dayu wiped away his tears and asked without explaining, "What kind of dowry does Mom want to buy? My son will take someone to buy it tomorrow."

"Dowry?" Mu Ai held her head and thought for a moment, then smiled, "Mom knows magic tricks, and has a mind full of ways to make money, marrying your Master Ouyang, he has already taken advantage of it, so, this You don’t need to bring anything for the dowry.”

"How can I do that?" Dayu immediately became anxious, "Mom is a prince and the wife of Huguoxian, how can she marry without a dowry? Mom is worried about spending money, and the money that younger brothers and sisters will marry in the future will be earned by the son, so mother puts this Let’s take out the 30 taels for the dowry, or bring several shops there?”

Mu Ai knocked his son's chest, "You silly boy, after my mother got married, life is still the same as now, it's just that there are more people on the dinner table, what's the use of buying those dowry, it's moldy. Besides, you Master Ouyang will not dislike his mother for not having a dowry, and he is not referring to a person who lives with his wife's dowry."

Dayu still disagreed, "Then let outsiders see it, it's time to gossip."

Mu Ai sighed, frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then take out 1 taels and buy a pair of ordinary ones. The time is too tight, and the wooden utensils are too late to make. Your master Ouyang should have everything ready, Jin There is no shortage of silver jewelry and brocades at home, and some small items, enough to make up [-] liters."

Speaking of this, there was a touch of happiness on her face, "Actually, my mother has a quiet temperament and doesn't like to intrigue with others. In order not to be bullied casually, and to lead the three of you to live well, she had to struggle. Thinking, I never thought I would become a prince? After my mother marries your Master Ouyang, she will learn to be an ordinary woman, caress her husband and teach her children, drink tea and enjoy flowers on weekdays, and go out for a few months when she is happy, looking at the clear water Blue sky, mountains and rivers..."

Dayu remembered the look in the eyes of the second prince that day, and said with a little worry, "Where is the imperial court..."

Mu Ai raised her eyebrows and smiled, "They treat your mother as a cornucopia, and they are afraid of running away. When your mother gets married, they will definitely investigate the details of your master Ouyang, but don't worry too much, we don't belong to any faction, Simba It has nothing to do with the throne, and my mother is not easy to bully. They dare not make any moves. However, you, Master Ouyang, and I still don’t want those people to interfere in our marriage, and we don’t want to come on stage, and then act for a group of people who have their own ideas. People see it. That's why the marriage was decided so hastily. Besides, your mother has the name of an overseas fairy island disciple, and her words and deeds are different from ordinary women. If this matter is rude, no one will care too much about it."

It was the first time that Dayu heard his mother speak in such a tone that was almost shameless, he couldn't help laughing, his heart was full of pride, this is their mother, the only wise woman in the world.

He stepped forward to hug his mother's arm again, and gently leaned against her. Mu Ai raised his hand and patted his son's broad shoulders. The mother and son were bathed in the orange light, quietly watching the night outside the window...

Besides, in Ouyang Mansion in the south of the city, Ren Baiyi was sitting on a chair, sipping tea slowly, looking at the decorations in the hall and yard, and exclaiming from time to time, "This chair is made by the Zhao family's old shop. Look at the lacquer color, the carvings, and the gold-painted vase are authentic official kilns, 50 taels of silver each..."

At the end, he suddenly had a bitter face, and said loudly to Ouyang who was standing at the door, "This is all my money!"

Ouyang turned around and glanced at him lightly, then continued to look at the second door, Ren Baiyi muttered unconvinced, "This is all my hard-earned money!"

While he was complaining, Han Niu suddenly ran in and shouted, "Boss, the matchmaker is back."

Ouyang immediately turned around and sat on the main seat, took the teacup and drank tea, Han Niu blinked his eyes and scratched his head, wondering why the leader was looking forward to the matchmaker's return, why is he not in a hurry now that she is back.Ren Baiyi was overjoyed, patted the chair and laughed, "Please, if she doesn't come back, someone will see through the screen wall."

Han Niu agreed, and went out to lure the high-level matchmaker in. As soon as the high-level matchmaker stepped into the door, she immediately said loudly, "Congratulations to Mr. Ouyang, congratulations to Mr. Ouyang, the woman agreed, and I also brought back the eight-character old woman."

There was joy in Ouyang's eyes, and he regained his composure in an instant. He nodded slightly, then got up and went out the door.

Gao Matchmaker also thought that Ouyang was dissatisfied, so she kept shouting, "Hey, hey, Master Ouyang, but what..."

Ren Baiyi smiled and stretched out his hand to stop her, and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, our master is not good at talking, as long as he knows that the woman agrees to the marriage, I will take care of the rest. Madam, please tell me what needs to be done."

Only then did Gao Matchmaker stop her voice, and took a closer look at the gold-painted fan and silver brocade shirt in his hand, secretly praising in her heart, this Ouyang Mansion is really rich, even a manager is dressed so luxuriously.

Ren Baiyi, who didn't know that he was treated as a servant, asked carefully about the many trivial rules of getting married, which made him feel dizzy...

Woke up early the next morning, had breakfast, and the children went to work in the workshop as usual. Xiao An and the others remeasured the size of Muai, and asked for a piece of Ouyang's clothes for comparison, so they plunged into the pile of silk and satin, rummaging For suitable materials, prepare new clothes for Mu Ai, mother and son, and also prepare a return gift from Ouyang Mansion when they come to employ them. In the return gift, they must prepare six sets of clothes, six pairs of shoes, six pairs of socks, and six hats.

Twenty of the best embroiderers were dispatched from the workshop, and they sat around in the hall, discussing what color this skirt should be embroidered on, and whether that shirt should be cut diagonally or double-breasted.

Mu Shiqi led the people to buy all the items they needed according to the list, and they were also very busy...

On the third day, Gao Matchmaker brought a freshly dressed Ouyang to hug a live goose and brought eight large boxes to the door.

Standing in front of the window on the second floor, Mu Ai looked at Ouyang who had changed into a rare set of sapphire blue brocade clothes in the yard, hugged a live goose, and walked slowly on the sun, all the joys and sorrows between the two of them surged together When I got into my heart, I suddenly started to feel anxious. Could it be that I am going to get married? I have lived for nearly 30 years, and I am finally going to marry someone as a wife?

Xiao An stood by the window, looked down with a smile on her head, and said, "Ma'am, Master Ouyang is much more handsome in this dress than before. I'm afraid it will be even better when he changes into a red shirt on the wedding day."

"I think it's still dark and attractive." Mu Ai replied lightly, staring at the figure hidden in the porch, turned around and sat back on the soft couch, picked up a book and read it calmly.

Xiao An glanced at the book, reached out to pour a cup of tea and put it on the small table, then said, "Madam, I'll go down and help collect the dowry."

Mu Ai nodded, Xiaoan immediately pulled Xihua out together, Xihua said with a smile, "Madam is really amazing, she is not nervous at all."

Xiao An chuckled, "Marriage is a major event in a woman's life. Why is Madam not nervous? Didn't you see that the book in her hand was knocked down."

Xihua was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed, and went downstairs with Xiaoan.

In the downstairs hall, the main seat was empty because there were no elders. Dayu and Simba sat on the left, representing the woman, and on the right were Ouyang and Gao Matchmaker.

Gao Matchmaker kept saying a long list of auspicious words, and then handed over a dowry list with both hands. Since Dayu and Simba were juniors, they got up and took it with both hands and put it away.

Xifu went forward holding the tray, and Dayu picked up the return gift list on the tray and handed it back to Gao Matchmaker. Gao Matchmaker secretly praised Dayu for his prudence, courtesy, and handsomeness. I don't know if I was engaged, old woman..."

Xifu saw that his young master raised his eyebrows, and immediately stepped forward to help Gao Matchmaker to go back and sit down, "Grandmother is really confused, our son is already fifteen, why is there no engagement, let's talk about when the wedding date is set, Our family should also prepare the dowry."

The tall matchmaker blushed in embarrassment and knew that she was Meng Lang, so she quickly took up the conversation and said, "Old lady, I found the best fortune teller in the city. The horoscopes of Mrs. Xian and Master Ouyang are simply a match made in heaven. Fortune teller It is said that he has never seen such a good horoscope, the old slave asked him to set a date, only the [-]th day of this month is the most suitable day for marriage, if you get married on that day, everything will go smoothly, and you will be guaranteed a lifetime of harmony and beauty."

Xiao An happened to come down to hear it, and she calculated in her mind that even after eight days, she would still be able to cut clothes and prepare dowry in time, so she nodded to Dayu and Simba, and Dayu said, "Well, the day will be set on the eighteenth."
