Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 45
Chun Equinox looked at her face without any trace, and said, "Madam, don't get angry with these two unruly people. It's better to have breakfast first. If you delay for a while, the porridge will be cold."

Mu Ai put down the teacup, looked at Xia Zhi in the corner, "I can't eat, I can't waste the food, I ask half of the autumnal equinox to be given to Wen Bo, and the other half to Ouyang's guard."

Chun Equinox smiled slightly, "Ma'am, we have been by your side for a while, and you also know that Xia Zhi is a fast-talking, unreasonable girl who doesn't let others. Just now Mrs. Chen insulted our family again, That's why she lost the rules. If Madam is angry, it's fine to punish her to starve her a few times, as long as she doesn't get angry."

Mu Ai turned her head to look at the vernal equinox, and laughed with a "puchi".Both the vernal equinox and the summer solstice in the corner were taken aback, not understanding why the madam suddenly laughed again.

"Xia Zhi, come here." Mu Ai ignored their surprise and called Xia Zhi to come over.

Xia Zhi didn't even have time to wipe away the tears on her face, so she hurried over and wanted to kneel down again.But Mu Ai stopped her, "You don't need to kneel anymore, I asked you to kneel just now, haven't you figured out why?"

Xia Zhi and Chun Equinox looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Mu Ai didn't make things difficult for her, "I want you to kneel, because I want you to understand that being hot-tempered is not a bad thing, but more importantly, you have to learn to see the current situation and the environment clearly. It is naturally her fault for Mrs. Chen to speak rudely, but, you It's someone from our house, who scolded her like this regardless, let's not talk about it, how impolite it is to scold like this, she herself was sent by Uncle Xiao's house, no matter what the reason for the dispute today, outsiders It seems that she has been neglected in our house. Everyone only speaks their own reasons when they encounter problems. If Uncle Xiao and his wife are ignorant people, and they are misrepresented by her crying, the good friendship may be lost. It's frustrating. Secondly, today you should apologize to her first, and then bring me out to shock her. If she is sensible, then forget it. If she continues to yell, then she will ignore me and commit the following crime. No matter who comes to this matter in the end, they will say that you understand the rules, and she is an evil slave who has no master and bullies others. However, you and her are arguing with each other. Both of them are at fault, but you are the master People at home, she is still a guest, others will tend to her, saying that you are a big bully."

Chun Equinox and Xia Zhi were completely stunned when they heard the old man's words. They thought Madam was angry at her for not understanding the rules, but they didn't expect that it was because she wasn't cunning enough...

Mu Ai looked at the appearance of the two girls and smiled secretly. When she was a child, her parents divorced and each remarried. She lived with her grandma and grandpa and was often bullied by her classmates.At the beginning, she also scolded and fought with them, and then the teacher often went to grandma and asked her to be strictly disciplined.Later, she slowly discovered that as long as she picked a place where she could not see when fighting, she would shed two tears when she was caught by the teacher. She was trembling and her mouth was full of faults, and she pretended to show the small wound on her arm inadvertently. Teacher She would immediately scold her classmates who bullied her. After a long time, those classmates wanted to take a detour when they saw her, and she was no longer bullied.

Satisfied, he took another sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Go and call in the autumnal equinox and winter solstice outside the door, I have something to say."

Chun Equinox blushed, the three of them had discussed outside the door just now, she came in first to intercede, if not, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice would come in and kowtow together.

After waiting for the four maidservants to stand in front of the table, Mu Ai looked at each of them. It may be because she doesn't like bright colors. When she went to the city to choose fabrics a few days before the winter solstice, most of them were plain colors. She wears a simple and elegant double-snail bun, her upper body is a small emerald-colored double-breasted jacket, the neckline occasionally reveals the edge of the snow-white jacket underneath, and she wears padded trousers on her lower body, and an ivory white satin skirt on the outside. For the convenience of distinction, different patterns are embroidered on the skirt and cuffs, jasmine flowers on the spring equinox, lotus flowers on the summer solstice, osmanthus flowers on the autumn equinox, and plum blossoms on the winter solstice.The four girls are slim, fresh and pleasant, and they are really enviable jasper years.

Mu Ai sighed in her heart for a while, and saw that they had a slight look of panic on their faces because they couldn't guess what she was thinking.Quickly withdrew her thoughts of running away, opened her mouth and told her lie about the secret method again, seeing them staring at the teacup she used for the disappearance experiment on the table, she couldn't help laughing , this secret method is a bit too magical for them.She also thought about it for a few days before deciding to tell them about this matter. After all, the four of them are her personal servants, and many things cannot be hidden from their eyes in the future.First of all, in terms of food, winter is coming, and the only vegetable that can be stored in space-time is wombat. She has been eating it for almost half a month, and she is really annoyed. I am afraid that in the future, all the fresh vegetables in the space will be taken out.Secondly, in terms of dressing, she doesn't wear underwear and underwear, but only cotton underwear. Cleaning is also a problem on weekdays. There are also daily necessities such as her toothpaste, facial cleanser, shampoo, etc. It is really impossible to have a showdown with them. .Besides, from the aspect of confidentiality, they are all dead contracted, they will be her servants for life, honor, disgrace and wealth are tied to her, so they are still very reliable.Moreover, when Xia Zhi made a mistake today, several people rushed to plead for mercy, and none of them made trouble. Based on the observation of this period of time, they all have good character.

The four of Chun Equinox were stunned for a while before they realized what they saw just now. They looked at each other in disbelief, and they all saw the same look on the faces of the other people.Immediately, he knelt down and kowtowed three times excitedly amid Mu Ai's blocking sound.

They are all grateful for the gift of the gods in their hearts. They can follow such a good master. The wife is not only generous, but also possesses secret skills. Not to mention prosperous and rich in the future, but at least they will not be displaced and lack food and clothing.

Mu Ai couldn't understand their excitement, but she knew from their appearance that they followed her wholeheartedly.I was relieved, thinking about what happened today, pondered for a while, and said, "Since you all know about this, you should pay more attention to it in the future, the two rules at home were established because of this. Spring equinox, you have a more stable temperament, you need to teach Xia Zhi more in the future, and discuss with several people when something happens. Xia Zhi still made a mistake today and must be punished. You can’t set a precedent, so let’s go hungry for a day as a punishment.”

"Yes, Madam Xie punished." Xia Zhi happily knelt down and accepted the punishment.

Mu Ai was amused, "Who is so happy to be fined like you, well, let's be more careful in the future." After speaking, he turned to Chun Equinox, "Chun Equinox, you can find Steward Guo in a while and let him set up a car. Send Mrs. Chen back to Xiao's residence, and take this letter to Uncle Xiao. I'll see what else needs to be bought at home and buy it together."

"Yes, ma'am. The small kitchen has eaten half a month's cabbage. Can Housekeeper Xiao find some fresh food for Madam in the city." Chun Equinox agreed.

Mu Ai smiled mysteriously, "No need, didn't I tell you guys just now? It turns out that you still don't understand, let's see what it is!"

With a wave of his hand, the empty table was immediately filled with green vegetables, fresh leeks, spinach, celery, and two or three things that he hadn't seen before.

"Wow!" The four maids yelled in surprise. Anyone would be very happy to see so many fresh green vegetables in such a cold winter. What's more, this was conjured up by his wife, which is simply amazing. .Among them, the Autumn Equinox screamed loudly. She was in charge of the kitchen and had a terrible headache every day because of her wife's meals, but suffered from lack of ingredients, so she could only study how to eat wombat.

Mu Ai picked up a cucumber with thorns on it, broke it into four pieces, and stuffed them into their hands, "Don't look stupid, how about the taste of this cucumber?"

The four servant girls looked at the small green cylindrical thing in their hands, and hesitated to take a small bite. A very fresh taste instantly filled the mouth. It looked particularly refreshing in this winter, and their eyes immediately smiled.

Mu Ai laughed secretly at their stupidity, pointed to the other vegetables on the table and said, "You all know these leeks, spinach and celery, and the other two are eggplant and beans, which can be made into many new dishes , in the future, I will slowly teach the autumnal equinox. If you want, you can also learn. These two plus cucumbers, I plan to try to grow some in the next spring, and Uncle Xiao has already negotiated a high price for the purchase. So, after the spring, it will be very Busy, you guys should pay more attention."

Several people had a good meal, and when they heard that Madam would start growing these new vegetables next year, they all looked excited and agreed loudly, "Yes, Madam."

Mu Ai recalled the "Stone Rain" experiment that had not yet been implemented and the various fruits that filled the branches in the planting space, and then ordered, "Remember the vernal equinox, and tell the housekeeper to arrange for Ada and the others to weave some rattan baskets for me in their free time. It is useful here, and... pick some sea bowl-sized stones that are easy to carry, pick up some more, and pile them in the third courtyard behind..."

The spring equinox listened to his wife while walking around the table, planning to lay out paper to write on, while the autumn equinox, summer solstice, and winter solstice carefully removed the vegetables.Seeing the four of them busy, Muai flipped out a 32-carat notepad and a set of pencils and erasers from the space, "Okay, don't be too busy. Spring Equinox, this is a simple set of pens and notebooks. You take it and keep it for writing later.”

"Yes, Ma'am." Chun Equinox took the notebook handed over by Madam, her hands trembling a little. There were simply too many miraculous things happened this morning, which made her, who has always been stable, a little excited to the point where she couldn't calm down.
