Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 456 Snake?Beauty?

The master and servant hired a new sedan chair, and went straight to the front of the Fuquan Inn, Ruyan helped the little maid get off the sedan chair, and Tingting walked in gracefully.

In the lobby there were a few individual customers sitting drinking tea and gossiping. When Leng Ding saw a beautiful woman coming in, he turned his head to look at the novelty. The guy who was wiping the counter with a rag was also taken aback. Although Bai Hua treated women kindly, but There is no woman from a good family who doesn't wear a hat and dresses so coolly, let alone in a messy place like an inn.He hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Miss, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

Ruyan took out the handkerchief and pressed the non-existent sweat on her forehead, and winked at the little maid, who quickly replied, "Second brother, please ask me, you have Tianzi No. [-] room here, but Is Mr. Ouyang living here?"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "Yes, if the two of you want to visit, unfortunately, Mr. Ouyang has gone out on business and hasn't come back yet."

The little maid said with a smile, "Our young lady is a good friend of Mr. Ouyang. We met on the street just now. Mr. Ouyang has something urgent to do and he doesn't want Miss to sit in the teahouse for a long time, so he asked us to wait in his room."

A look of comprehension and contempt flashed in the boy's eyes. There is no man in this world who makes friends with a woman. It's just because of that dirty thing. No wonder the woman's makeup is so undignified. I think she is the daughter of some brothel , but Mr. Ouyang seems to be a gentleman, but he is also greedy for beauty, and he doesn't go to the brothel to have fun, so he points people to the inn. Could it be that they are regarded as that dirty place?

Thinking in this way, the little guy stopped his smile and said, "I'm sorry, miss, Mr. Ouyang didn't leave a message, and we dare not let anyone into his bedroom without authorization. In case something happens Anything inappropriate will also hinder the reputation of our store."

Ruyan heard the meaning of the boy's words, raised her eyebrows, and scolded, "What do you mean, do you think we are thieves? Tell your shopkeeper to come out, and I want to ask him, how did he teach you?" Dude, such rude words and disrespectful hospitality!"

When the young man heard that he wanted to argue with the shopkeeper, he also regretted his rude words just now, and immediately stopped him with a salute, "Miss, please calm down, it's the little one who is stupid and can't speak. I hope you will forgive me."

Ruyan glanced at him lightly, "You can forgive me, and lead us up, so naturally we won't talk to the shopkeeper."

The little boy was in a dilemma, if he let people go up, he was really afraid of causing some trouble, but if he didn't let go, he was held in his hands again, so he hesitated for a while.

Seeing this, Ruyan took out a small piece of broken silver from her sleeve, turned her body slightly to block everyone's eyes, stuffed it into the boy's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your inn doesn't have a back door, we can still Is it okay to jump off the stairs with something rolled up?"

The little guy thinks about it, and it is indeed the case. Everyone who comes in and out of this store has to pass through this gate. He just keeps a close eye on it, and then he weighs the money in his hand. At the same time, Ru Yan led the master and servant upstairs, opened the door of Tianzi No. [-] room, asked them to go in and sit down, and then turned and went downstairs to get busy.

Ruyan wanted to find out about Dayu's details, so she took advantage of this time to walk around the house to check, but unfortunately, Dayu and Xing'er were told by Mu Ai for countless times, and the backpack was convenient, so no matter where they went. Carrying it on his body, there is nothing else in the inn room except for the two clothes he wore yesterday.Ru Yan stepped forward to touch it, although the material is cotton, but it is fine cotton, she has seen it in an embroidery shop before, it is said that it is three cents more expensive than ordinary silk and satin, only wealthy people can afford it Make some undershirts, or home clothes, that are soft and comfortable to wear.

Now seeing Dayu casually throwing it on the screen, it seems that he wears it often and doesn't care much about it. From this point of view, his family is indeed a wealthy one. She was very happy, so she turned around and sat on the bed, and folded the two clothes. They have to be put away neatly, the little maid jokingly said, "Miss is the most considerate and considerate, in the future Mr. Ouyang may not be able to leave Miss every day."

Ruyan glared at her shyly, then reached out and took out a piece of broken silver, "Okay, it's getting late, and Mr. Ouyang will be back in another hour, you can go downstairs and take a rest in the next room, we will return tomorrow." I want to follow the son on the road."

The little servant girl accepted the money with a smile, and said, "The servant will come to serve you tomorrow morning." After she finished speaking, she withdrew.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ruyan thought of how rich and honored she will be in the future, and thought of the hard work of being greeted and sent away, and secretly thanked the gods countless times for allowing her to meet such a good husband.

When it was getting dark outside, she untied her belt, took off the outer purple gauze skirt, and got under the quilt with only a tube top and obscene pants, thinking about how to lure Dayu to be happy with her, To accomplish a good thing, it is best to know the taste by eating the marrow, and not to be away from her, so that she can follow them on the road, and when the work is done and returns to the home, no matter how coaxing Dayu treats her like a pearl, like a treasure.

Dayu didn't know that there was such a glamorous thing waiting for him in the inn, so he came out of the dim sum shop, walked around again, took Xinger and Caiyun to chase the moon, found a small courtyard-style restaurant, and ordered A few signature dishes, sitting in the pavilion while enjoying the flowers, talking and laughing, and throwing the unhappiness encountered in the restaurant to the back of my mind.

After the sky darkened, the guys in the restaurant hung red lanterns under the eaves of the corridor, which looked very festive and lively. I don’t know when a table of scholars gathered in the flowers not far away, talking and writing some crooked poems The sour words made their stomachs hurt from laughing, and they finally checked out and walked back to the inn with smiles all over their faces.

Because the young man took the money like smoke, he didn't like that Dayu was upright on the surface and greedy for beauty behind his back, so he only laughed and said a few polite words, and watched them go upstairs.

Caiyun walked in front, and smiled as she went upstairs, "Miss, you go to the eldest young master's room first and sit down, wait for us to scent the bedding and mix the bath water, and then please come back."

Xing'er responded, "Okay, I won't make trouble for you."

At the door, Caiyun Zhuiyue opened the door of Tianzi No. [-] room and went in. Xinger opened the door of No. [-] room next to him two steps ahead, and ran in in a few steps without waiting for the elder brother who was at the end. On the bed, shouted, "I'm exhausted, I really miss my family..."

Halfway through her words, she felt that there was something in the quilt under her body. When she reached out to touch it, it was slippery, greasy, and a little cold. Shouting, "Snake! Snake! There's a snake on my brother's bed!"

Originally, the woman was afraid of snakes and insects, but when she touched them, she felt even more frightened than she usually saw in the mountains. She hugged her brother's neck tightly and screamed hoarsely.

Dayu really thought there was a snake on the bed, so he hugged his sister and retreated to the door, patting her on the back vigorously, comforting her, "Xinger, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Brother is here, brother will catch it and throw it out immediately." ..." As he said this, he stretched his head to look at the bed, but suddenly his eyes widened, and a woman's head actually poked out from the quilt on the bed!

He immediately asked sharply, "Who are you and why are you in my room?"

The woman's face turned red, and while reaching for the dress at the bedside, she said in a low voice, "Young master, my family is like smoke."

Dayu took a closer look, but it wasn't the woman who pestered him during the day, she hated it secretly, and it was fine to make a fuss in the restaurant, but she actually chased him into his room at this time, so scared that his sister was so terrified, he wanted to drink Cursed, but also couldn't see her white arms and chest, so she quickly turned her head away and continued to coax Xing'er.

At this time, everyone upstairs and downstairs who heard Xinger's scream just now ran over. The front ones were Caiyun and Zhuiyue with shocked faces, holding daggers in their hands. Several male guests.

Dayu hated Ruyan's entanglement deeply, and scared Xing'er, so he didn't stop everyone, but Ruyan's dress was halfway through, and those who should be seen and shouldn't be seen were all rushed in by the crowd The man watched it all.

Even if Ruyan is a woman in a brothel, she does skin and flesh business every day, but it is mostly at night, and it is the first time that many men watch her disheveled clothes, so this time it is her turn to scream, frantically trying to hurry up. Some clothes are good, but the more busy they are, the worse they are.

Although the onlookers pretended to be courteous and turned their heads away, they were actually staring at the places that made their hearts itch. After all, such bargains are not something that you can come across every day.

When Ruyan's little girl rushed upstairs, there were no less than 20 people around the door, relying on her small stature, she squeezed all the way in, seeing her young lady's appearance, she thought that the young lady was done, and planned to use this to force Ouyang The young master took him in, so he stepped forward to help tidy up his dress, and shouted to Dayu who was by the door, "Mr. Ouyang, the lady is already yours, please take pity on me. If you leave the lady behind, the lady will have nothing but you." It's the day of chastity!"

Most of the people next to him were men. After hearing this, their eyes took advantage of it just now, and they became more concerned about upholding justice for weak women, and looked at Dayu with condemnation.

Ouyang was furious when he heard that they did such a despicable thing, and they still forced themselves to submit. Fortunately, it was Xing'er who came in first today, otherwise he really couldn't speak clearly. At that moment, he shouted coldly, "Shut up!" Mouth! I rescued you from outsiders in the restaurant at noon. You were crying to be slaves and concubines. I have already refused. I never thought that you would hide in my room so shamelessly. If you hadn’t Didn't my sister come in first, and you just let me get you? A woman from a brothel still has the face to keep her chastity to death. How ridiculous! I'm blind today to save you ungrateful people. If you do this again Entanglement, be careful, I will send you to see the official!"

After finishing speaking, he called Caiyun Chasing the Moon, "Clean up and salute, let's change hotels!"

Caiyun chased the moon and answered loudly, Caiyun turned back to the second room to tidy up and salute, Zhuiyue took two steps forward to pack Dayu's clothes, Dayu saw that the clothes were neatly folded, which was different from when he left in the morning, so he knew it was Ru Yan moved, so she said again, "I don't want that shirt anymore, I think it's dirty!" After finishing speaking, she got up and pulled Xing Er to separate from the crowd and go out.

The innkeeper and the boy were all kept outside to look around, but when they heard him say check out, they hurriedly followed behind him to make amends, but Dayu ignored them and didn't want the five liang of silver that was bet on the counter. He took his sister and two maidservants directly to the east of the county seat, and found an inn farthest from Fuquan to stay.

The shopkeeper guessed that the boy took the benefits, which caused the incident, scolded him severely, fined him a month's wages, and then kicked his ass, "Go upstairs and drive that woman away , let her continue to ruin our store's reputation."

The young man had a bitter face, and he hated it in his heart. At first he thought it was a love affair, but he didn't expect to cause such a disaster, so he poured all his anger on Ruyan's master and servant.

When he came upstairs, he separated from the crowd watching the excitement, loudly scolded Ru Yan's master and servant, "what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up, a brothel girl, pretending to be a chaste and strong woman, isn't she just trying to climb up to a rich man? Don't even look at what kind of goods you are?"

The spectator who was interested in Ruyan defended him loudly, "You man, Miss Ruyan also lost her eyes, how could I know that young man is so puzzled."

As he said that, he took a few steps forward, smiling and going to hold Ruyan's hand, "Miss Ruyan, don't feel sad, please go and rest in the servant's room for a night, how about it?"

At this moment, Ruyan's clothes were finally tidied up, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to get in, and when she saw this person coming up to move her hands and feet, she screamed and dodged to the side.

Although others could not understand the man's appearance, they were also not ashamed to climb onto the man's bed like Ruyan, so they all watched the excitement and did not step forward to help.

With great difficulty, under the protection of the little maid, Ruyan squeezed out the door in a panic, ran to the corner of the street to find a small inn, asked for a room, raised her hand and slapped the little maid next to her, " It's all your lowly servant girl, if you let you go downstairs, you will really fall asleep, and you don't even look at it, why did you let that dead girl enter the door first!"

The little maid was wronged and cursed in her heart, but she didn't dare to really open her mouth to curse back. She still held the deed of prostitution in Ruyan's hand, and while covering her red and swollen cheeks, she rolled her eyes and thought about it, "Miss, today It's because of bad luck that Mr. Ouyang was so ruthless when he was smashed by that dead girl, if he had entered the room, it must have been done."

Ruyan bit her lower lip resentfully, cursing Xinger in her heart for ruining her good deeds, and thinking about her future plans, hearing what the little maid said, the more she felt the truth, so she made up her mind, "Since Mr. Ouyang Because of sympathy, we are not willing to accept us here, so let's go to Rongcheng to wait for him. When he comes back from work in the future, seeing that we have lived in his house for a while, he will definitely not refuse. Take a step back and say, If he is really not close to women, drive us away, and give us some severance money."

The little maid nodded quickly, Ruyan glared at her, and cursed again, "You useless things, don't ask for water to bathe me."

The little maid shrank her head again after being scolded, turned around and ran out.

Dayu didn't know at all that the brown sugar he had unintentionally provoked had a new idea. He comforted his sister and rode out of Qingping County early the next morning. Looking back, he saw that the city gate was far away, and there were no Only when someone stopped him did he heave a long sigh of relief. It turns out that women are such troublesome things, and they are more terrifying than scourges.

Xing'er knew that the beautiful woman she met during the day was hiding on the bed last night, so she was no longer afraid, but found it funny. Seeing her brother's face at this time, she smiled strangely.

Dayu raised his hand and knocked her on the head, and said, "What are you doing smiling like that, remember that when you see your mother in the future, you can't talk about it."

Xing'er tilted her head, "It's fine if you don't say anything, but it depends on what brother will use to seal me up?"

Dayu had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll buy you a new dress after entering Ya City."

"There are also Caiyun and Chasing the Moon!" Xinger did not forget to fight for the interests of the two maids when she was happy.

"Don't worry!" Dayu agreed, and with a whip on the horse's buttocks, he led the three of them towards Yacheng.

Besides, Muai in Rongcheng led the people in the valley to work for six or seven days before picking all the apples from Dongshan and pears from Nanshan to make wine. I buried the wine jar in the space, but after taking it out one day, the wine will have the mellow taste that has been precipitated for a long time.

After all the people in the valley tasted it, the cheers and praises almost toppled the roof of the house, and Mu Ai also felt very happy when she saw it.

On this day, everyone was chatting and laughing while packing up some utensils, so she pulled Ouyang to help, and directed Xiaoan and the others to prepare the peach blossom wine that she had been thinking about for a long time.

Two hundred catties of high-quality glutinous rice were selected, first put into a large wooden barrel and soaked in spring water for two hours, and when the glutinous rice became fat and wet, it was fished out and mixed with peach petals picked by a young girl, and put aside.

A half-person-high steaming tray was set up in the large iron pot on the two-eyed earthen stove, and a layer of washed white burlap was spread inside, then glutinous rice and peach petals were poured in, the lid was covered, and steamed on high heat for two quarters of an hour.Then open the drawer, take out the light-colored cooked rice and put it on a bamboo mat to cool, then evenly mix it with the broken rice wine koji, pour it into a pottery jar, press it evenly, and put a piece of rice in the middle The hole is deep enough to see the bottom, and finally the mouth of the tank is sealed, waiting for the fermentation to produce wine.

It was the first time for the maids to brew this wine with Muai, and they all felt that it was a novelty. Women love flowers. When they remembered that this wine was made from peach petals, they couldn't help but look forward to it being brewed soon, so that they could have a taste of it. .

Ouyang has been by Mu Ai's side all the time, seeing her busy face covered with sweat, but the corners of her eyes are full of smiles, and her heart softens, pulling up her sleeves to wipe her sweat, Mu Ai smiled and lowered her head and waited for him to finish wiping, then said with a smile, "I originally wanted to make wine with Baogu, but I still thought it was too strong, so I used this glutinous rice instead, so the wine will taste lighter, with a peach blossom aroma, I am afraid it will be more attractive to women, but it may not be in your mouth. "

Ouyang smiled faintly, "As long as you like it."

Hearing what he said, Mu Ai felt sweet in her heart. She waved a few large pottery vats into the space, then pulled him to point to the north hillside, and said with a smile, "Grow that piece of grapes this year, and make wine next year. I have left it to Cui Peng's daughter-in-law, they have been busy for the past few days, and they have already become proficient in making it, so even if we can't make it back next year, we won't delay the wine making."

Ouyang nodded, and led her to drink tea under the shade of a tree to quench her thirst, but she heard someone running in not far away to report, "Boss, madam, the shopkeeper Seventeen in the city has sent someone to deliver a letter."

"Shopkeeper Seventeen?" Mu Ai was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was something wrong in the shop, she received the letter and opened it, but she was puzzled, funny, and annoyed at the moment, and her expression became very strange.

Seeing her like this, Ouyang also accepted the letter, and after reading it, he frowned slightly and said, "Da Yu is not the child who doesn't know the importance, maybe something went wrong."

Mu Ai nodded and said with a smile, "things here are almost busy, we should go back to the city, don't ask what happened, and send those hundreds of jars of fruit wine directly to the small winery."

Ouyang has never refuted her point of view, and of course he won't this time, so he invited Cui Peng and Uncle Zhong to explain a few words, then took Mu Ai and a few maidservants and immediately set off over the mountain and returned to the city.

As a result, when he just entered the city gate, he met a young boy who lived for the sky. When he saw his mistress’s carriage, he ran up quickly, bowed and stood by the window, and said, “Madam, shopkeeper Seventeen is about to go Send the letter, someone from Huadu has come to read His Majesty's imperial decree."

Mu Ai thought for a while, guessing that the court should have responded to her marriage, so she nodded and said, "Where is the official?"

"Returning to Madam, the decree officer has brought ten gold-armored guards and a carriage, and they are all waiting for food."

"Lead them slowly to Osmanthus Alley in the south of the city."

The young man knew that this was the madam's preparation to receive the order in advance, so he readily agreed and trotted back.

Mu Ai turned her head and saw Ouyang's gloomy face, so she leaned on his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, the imperial court dare not do anything to me. Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if something happens, let's sell the shop and share it with the servants as severance money. Our family will go back to the top of Shenshan Mountain to live peacefully."

Ouyang stretched out his arms, held her in his arms, rubbed his chin against the top of her hair, and said in a low voice, "How many years have you been running these businesses, I can't bear to cause you to give up."

"What are you talking about? Our family is not short of food and clothing. What do we need so much money for? Besides, in this world, nothing is more important to me than you and the children."

The two whispered all the way, and they arrived at the door of the house in less than half a stick of incense. Xiao An quickly prepared the incense table and placed it at the door, and then waited on Mu Ai to change the prince's clothes, and Ouyang also changed into a black brocade embroidered with dark patterns Just as the two of them packed up their clothes, Mu Shiqi rushed over and reported the simple situation he had just inquired about. At this time, someone from the front yard came to report and the messenger arrived.

Mu Ai and Ouyang looked at each other, and they went to the front yard together. This time, the one who came to pass the decree was the Eunuch Shen who had been to Kao City a few years ago. He is now the deputy head of the palace, and he is also fatter than before. However, at this moment, he was holding the imperial decree and standing in the front yard, but he didn't dare to show arrogance at all. The fat on his face was piled up, and he tried to show a kind smile. When he saw Mu Ai and the two coming out, he quickly glanced at After Ouyang, he quickly took two steps forward and said with a smile, "This old slave greets His Highness the Prince. I forgive this old slave for holding the imperial decree, so it is inconvenient to kowtow to His Highness."

　Recently, I lost everything, bought a few beautiful notebooks, and wrote down everything useful, even what to buy at night.Otherwise, holding the money, I forgot what to buy when I walked to the vegetable market. My husband said that I was stupid, and I had to do mental work like code words. In the end, my brain cells were exhausted and I became an idiot.What a horror! !Thank you friends for supporting the genuine version. I will sleep more tonight and nourish my brain cells!
