Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 461 Road Encounters
"Speaking of which, the fruit wine in our winery is more expensive, and the sir needs to send more people to guard the wine cellar. In a few days, His Majesty may give a name to it, and buyers will flock to it. However, there are As the saying goes, what is rare is the most precious, and we do not produce much wine. The next batch will not be produced until next autumn. If we don't make it back, we will have to bury it under the tree for a few years. Therefore, we must Don’t sell too much, just keep it at about [-] jars per month. If there are too many buyers and you don’t want to offend them, you have to bid and the one with the highest price will sell. This way the winery can make a profit without offending the buyers. However, I Yixiong's Xianke Tower, in view of my face, I still need to take care of it a little bit."

Ren Baiyi's eyes became brighter the more he listened, he applauded repeatedly, and finally said reluctantly, "Madam should really stay for a few more months, and teach me more about the way of doing business."

"Sir, you are welcome. The way of making money is just a small way. After a few months of exploration, I believe that you will have some experience. Our business is mostly cheap, and you can just let it go."

Ren Baiyi saluted gratefully, Mu Ai stopped him, the three chatted a few more words, ate up the whole plate of fruit, cleaned their hands, Mu Ai and Ouyang took them back to the mansion.

Xiaoan and the others were busy packing up and saluting, shopping for food, Muai was idle, wrote a letter to Dayu, and found a brother who was good at kung fu to send it. They laid a carpet under the grape trellis, and then pulled Ouyang sorted out the old things in the space together. When she went back to her hometown to deal with the house and other things, there were still some groceries left in the small shop left by her grandparents. She used some of them in the past two years, and there was a small part left. clean up.

Two jars of glass balls, seven or eight bouncy balls the size of a child's fist, a dozen small round mirrors, two boxes of plastic combs, four boxes of cotton spools, some magic gloves, five pairs of scissors, several boxes of pencils, erasers, ink, Pens and matts are scattered all over the blanket.

These small objects are all filled with fond memories of Mu Ai's childhood. She caressed slowly in silence, and then carefully put them into the beautifully carved ebony box.

Ouyang guessed that she was missing her hometown, so she sat silently beside her without disturbing her. When Mu Ai occasionally looked up and saw him, she thought that sitting was boring, so she casually touched a magazine in the space and handed it to him, "I It will be packed right away, you should read a book first."

Ouyang nodded, but just as he opened the magazine, his eyes suddenly widened in the next moment, his face flushed instantly, as if some beast in the book was about to run out, he snapped it shut, and threw it in front of Mu Ai.

Mu Ai is holding the scissors and thinking about cutting off the plastic shell behind the small round mirror, and then sending it to the Silver House to exchange it for sandalwood or gold and silver, which can also be given away as valuable objects in the future.As soon as the scissors were halfway through, seeing Ouyang flustered, he quickly put down the scissors and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

At this question, Ouyang's face turned even redder, like a pig's liver. He looked left and right, but refused to look at Mu Ai. Finally, he jumped up and said, "I'm going to practice sword!" Then he rushed to the garden in a few steps On the side, he broke off a laurel branch, provoked the pick-and-roll, and danced up and down.

Mu Ai blinked, picked up the magazine curiously and opened it, then couldn't help laughing, and even rolled back and forth while lying on the blanket covering her stomach.

It turned out that it was a fashion magazine, and the theme of that issue was a special issue of underwear, and every page was full of beauties wearing only underwear, blond and blue eyes, black eyes and black hair, except for the three key points that were not exposed, the rest were all Naked, modern people are used to seeing it, and don't feel anything, but the ancients saw it, but it was too shocking, no wonder Ouyang's face is so weird...

Xiao An came over with tea from afar, and didn't understand why his wife laughed so badly, she couldn't help but glanced at the weird picture album, and immediately blushed, dropped the tea tray, and ran away, Mu Ai Laughing harder, finally stopped after a while, drank a cup of tea, continued to cut the plastic shell, occasionally turned his head and glanced at Ouyang with a smile, causing his feet to scramble from time to time.

The result of such mischief was that after dinner, she was carried back to her room immediately, and she was restless for half the night, and she didn't get up until early in the morning the next day.

Ouyang said early in the morning that he would go to the valley for the last time. Mu Ai woke up and had lunch after washing, and ordered Wuhu to take those small round mirrors to find a silver building inlaid case, and then prepared Xiaoan and the others in the same way. Eatables are packed into the space.

Because there is a villa, there is no need to prepare clothes, bedding, etc. There are also fish, shrimp, vegetables, fruits, and rice in the space, so what is put in is mostly fine noodles, pork, mutton, beef, slaughtered fat chicken, eggs, and salt tea. There are nearly 20 people in the group, and they consume a lot of food every day. The cities along the way can supplement it, but it is definitely not as good as what they prepare at home.

After being busy for half a day like this, Wuhu ran back and said with a troubled face, "The owner of the silver building saw that the young one had taken so many precious mirrors, so he pestered the young one to come back to beg his wife, saying that their silver building was in charge. Wrap all the precious mirrors in a pure gold shell, don't want half of the silver from our house, and are willing to pay an extra 1000 taels of silver, just begging my wife to transfer one to their store as the treasure of the store, the small one can't be entangled, I had no choice but to run back and report to Madam."

There are more than a dozen mirrors in that mirror. Although it is considered a treasure in this time and space, Mu Ai doesn't take it too seriously. She still has a few makeup boxes in her space, and each one is inlaid with a half-foot-large mirror. It is square, and there is a big full-length mirror on the old furniture left by my grandparents, which is enough for my own use, and there is not even a lack of supplies for the children when they get married, so I nodded and said, "Sell him, no The rest must be rushed to work as soon as possible, and I will invite Xue's family as guests in the next day, and I am afraid that there will be a meeting ceremony at that time."

"Yes, ma'am." Wuhu went down in response, and ran back to the silver building in a hurry. The boss was overjoyed and promised to finish it in the morning the next day. In the end, he gave Wuhu a pair of silver bracelets carved with hibiscus flowers, right? It's very expensive, but it's more refined than it is, so Wuhu gave it up twice before accepting it.

During dinner, Ouyang rushed back, the couple ate, discussed a few things about having a banquet for the Xue family in the future, and then took out the computer and hugged each other to find a movie to watch. As a result, those reinforced concrete buildings could fly big Iron Bird transformed Ouyang from a silent and cold tough guy into a curious baby in an instant. I didn't watch the movie for a little while, and Mu Ai was already tired and thirsty. There is no need to sleep.

On the second day, the bronzing posts were sent to Xue’s teahouse. At the beginning of the third day, Xue’s couple came to the door with their 12-year-old daughter. Ren Baiyi and others also gathered together, and the men sat in the hall drinking tea. , Talking about everything, Mu Ai took the mother and daughter of Xue's family, put fruit plates, snacks, honey water in the garden, chatted and enjoyed the flowers.

The youngest daughter of the Xue family is named Huier. She is 11 years old and has a very lively personality. She looks exactly like her mother, with a melon-shaped face, phoenix eyes and black eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. She is wearing a silver-red dress, which can be seen at a young age. , She must be a gorgeous beauty when she grows up.

She just sat down with her mother and was still a little cautious. Later, Mu Ai saw that she liked to eat mangosteen, but because of her mother's stare, she didn't dare to let go of eating more, so she smiled and reprimanded Mrs. Xue, "The child just likes to eat a fruit. Why are you still restraining her like this?" Saying this, she peeled it off and handed it to Huier, Huier saw that her mother was smiling and didn't speak, so she smiled and moved to Mu Ai's side, screaming fairy aunts one by one, very cute and cute.

Mu Ai took out a small red gold mirror carved with a pattern of cats and butterflies, and gave it to her as a gift. Mrs. Xue immediately refused for her daughter, even saying that it was too expensive, but Mu Ai insisted on stuffing it into Huier's hand, "She called me "Auntie, as an elder, it is natural to give such a decent gift, and my sister-in-law should not be polite."

Mrs. Xue thought about it and laughed, "Then I will let Hui'er come often in the future, maybe I can get more good things."

"Sister-in-law's plan is good, but Hui'er will probably be married when we meet again. Our husband and wife are going to go south, and it will take at least two or three years before we can come back."

Mrs. Xue remembered that Mu Ai came all the way south from Huawang City, so she was not surprised, and said with a little envy, "From now on, you will be free and easy. After a few years, Hui'er gets married, and I And my shopkeeper also went out for a walk."

"That's good, maybe when the time comes, the two of us will meet again, and enjoy the flowers and drink together. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?"

Mrs. Xue took out a black-painted nanmu tablet from her sleeve pocket, with a goshawk carved on one side, and only a flying and phoenix character Xue on the other, handed it to Mu Ai and said, "Sister and brother Ouyang go out for a walk, Maybe when you need news from Jianghu, this is the token of our teahouse, the girl takes it, and if you have something to do, go straight to the teahouse and talk about it."

Mu Ai took it unceremoniously, and said with a smile, "Then I'll take it, and treat my sister-in-law's family to dinner today, but I made a profit."

Mrs. Xue also laughed, talking about the anecdotes of the Jianghu and the new things in the city for a while, Xifu came to report that the banquet was ready.

The men naturally sat around in the hall, pushing cups and changing cups, and Mu Ai didn't want to join in the fun, so he directly put the food under the grape arbor, and slowly ate and drank with Xue's mother and daughter.

After the meal, the mother and daughter of the Xue family took a nap in the guest room for an hour, and the previous banquet was changed again, and finally the banquet was over, and the Xue family got on the car to leave and go back.

Mu Ai took care of the half-drunk Ouyang to wash up, then threw him on the bed to sober up, then called Mu Shiqi and others into the mansion, and arranged for the next few shops and the Paradise, until Shen Shizhong ordered them to disperse .

Xiao An sent a few shopkeepers out, but when he came back, he reported that Kong Xi and the others had returned, and Mu Ai hurriedly called for him. Ai Xu helped them up, and carefully inquired about Tao'er following the second prince to the south. He heard that he and the second prince repaired the embankment together. Be happy, after all, Tao'er is going to be an official in the future, and it is always beneficial and harmless to have such a deep friendship with the future emperor.

She called Wei Kang Weiduo to come forward again, and asked, "Master Yu met your young master?"

Wei Duo bowed and said, "Yes, ma'am, Master Yu met up with you the day before yesterday, and that's when he ordered the younger ones to come back with Captain Kong to wait for Madam's orders."

Mu Ai knew that Tao'er saw that Dayu had no entourage, and was going to wander the rivers and lakes alone like him.

"You have done a good job in protecting Tao'er this time. First, each of you will receive a reward of ten taels of silver. Go down and have a good night's rest. We will continue our journey south tomorrow."

"Thank you Madam for your reward." Kong Xi and the others agreed, exited the hall, and were immediately surrounded by young servants from all over the world, went to the dining room together, chatted and laughed with them, and recounted the details of the farewell.

Mu Ai got the news that the children were well, and was overjoyed. She made chicken shredded wolfberry porridge with her own hands, fried a few light dishes, and baked small pies with pork and celery. More than half of it, and the rest was eaten with a laugh with Ouyang.

Early in the morning of the second day, just as the city gate was opened, Mu Ai and his party with three carriages and ten horses left the city one after another. The autumn morning wind hit their faces, inhaled the breath, it was cool and refreshing, and everyone set foot on the southward journey again. The journey was very happy, but there were a few fewer children, and the team was much cleaner than usual, which made the birdsong in the mountains and forests beside the road more crisp.

Muai sat in the car, spread two pieces of silk and satin on the small table, under the guidance of Xiao An, tried to sew clothes, but the result was less than half a stick of incense, and his fingers were pricked five times. Ouyang felt distressed, so he Pulling her out to ride a horse together, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari were finally able to gallop through the mountains together, neighing happily while running...

Mu Ai remembered that she had said before that she wanted to gallop her horse and sing, so she became so proud that she really sang the song Canghaixiao. As a result, within a few words, she coughed, which made Ouyang laugh out loud. The horse rushed forward, took her to sit in front of him, and took a ride together. Mu Ai became furious, reached out and pinched his arm a few times, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. There is always a difference between reality and ideals. If there is a gap, it’s fine to gallop around the rivers and lakes, but let’s forget about singing loudly...

Not to mention that Mu Ai and Ouyang led the team all the way south, but that Dayu took Xing'er into Yacheng, found the mansion, rewarded the doorman with two taels of silver, Tao'er came out after a while, and they were separated for more than a month , Tao'er was obviously darker and thinner, but there was a touch of leanness in the corners of his eyes and brows. He hugged Dayu tightly and rubbed Xing'er's head before leading them in. The second prince was also like Tao'er. Hei Shou was very kind when he met the Dayu brothers and sisters, and he did not put on airs of princes at all. After a few people reminiscing about the old days, Tao'er heard that her aunt let them go south alone, and immediately resigned to the second prince for most of the errands that had been completed. They sent Kong Xi, Wei Duo and Wei Kang back to Rongcheng.

The second prince felt envious, but as a prince, he must not be able to travel around at will like them, so he smiled and asked them to write down interesting experiences and give them to him to read in the future, as if they were going there in person .

Dayu and Tao'er agreed immediately, and in the remaining few days, Tao'er helped the second prince with the remaining affairs, and Dayu took Xing'er to the city to settle the accounts of several shops. One day, they finally left Yacheng, galloped for half an hour, and then sat in a small tea shed by the official road to drink tea and rest their feet, talking about the customs and knowledge of the journey south, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

On the table next to them was also a pair of young brothers and sisters, who also wore short clothes and wore swords and rode horses. Hearing their chatter, they struck up a conversation.

It turns out that the two brothers and sisters are from a small sect that is good at swordsmanship in Mingyue City. The elder brother is Lou Changyi and the younger sister is Lou Yuying. This time, they are going to Wanjian Villa, a hundred miles away from Fengcheng, according to the orders of the elders in the family. , to participate in the martial arts conference on the eighth day of October, of course, the most important thing is to let them come out to practice.

Dayu and the others wanted to see the words of the Wulin Conference, and saw that the brother and sister were well-mannered, polite and proud, so they said they wanted to go to Fengcheng together.

Of course, the brothers and sisters of the Lou family also took into account their behavior and clothing, and they had long wanted to make friends, especially when Lou Yuying got along with him for a while. I couldn't help but my heart moved secretly, and when I heard that they were traveling together, I tugged on my brother's sleeve under the table.Lou Changyi understood what his sister meant, and remembered that the elders in the family sent them to the martial arts conference with the intention of picking a husband for his sister. This Mr. Ouyang is indeed a good-looking talent, so he should come down first, and then slowly inquire about his family background, so he smiled happily agree.

A group of people put down their tea bowls, rushed to pay for the tea money, and were about to go out and get on their horses. Outside the tea shed, a boy in Tsing Yi, who looked like a boy, flew up to the tea shed. He got off his horse and went into the shed to patrol around. Finally, he walked up to Dayu with surprise in his eyes. , said, "Eldest young master, fortunately you didn't go far, and the little one finally caught up."

Dayu was puzzled and asked, "Are you..."

The little guy hurriedly avoided the crowd, and showed half of the wooden sign in his sleeve. Dayu glanced at it, saw that it was the sign of his own shop, and immediately asked, "But your shopkeeper sent you here for something?"

"No, young master, it's the letter from the mistress of Rongcheng." The young man carefully took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and handed it over with both hands.

Dayu didn't know what his mother had to tell, so he quickly opened the letter and read it carefully, but his face became more and more strange, and finally turned livid.

Seeing this, Tao'er snatched the letter and looked at it with Xing'er, and then started laughing. Xing'er also turned her head and chatted with Caiyun Chayue and laughed non-stop.

Dayu's face turned even greener, and he wished he could go back to Rongcheng to slaughter Ruyan himself. Unfortunately, as his mother said in the letter, the incident has already happened, and it is useless to regret it. Just remember the lesson in the future, be careful with your words, and never No matter how soft-hearted you are to women.

The brothers and sisters of the Lou family didn't know why, but they were new friends after all, and it was not easy to ask about their family affairs, so they hid their curiosity in their hearts.

Dayu took out a pen and paper from his bag, quickly wrote a few hundred words, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, rewarded the young man with a piece of silver, and then asked him to bring it back to the shopkeeper, and leave it to the shopkeeper when his mother arrived in Yacheng in a few days. The buddy agreed, and rode back joyfully.

The group of them finally got on their horses and set out on their way. Lou Yuying had practiced swordsmanship with her elder brother since she was a child, and her uncles and aunts were mostly Jianghu people, so her temperament was more straightforward than that of ordinary boudoir girls. Head to his side, looking for a topic to chat.

If it was placed before, Dayu might be more polite, but after knowing about Ruyan, he became more and more annoyed with the woman in his heart, and he turned cold and refused to show a smile except for the necessary response meaning.Tao'er looked funny, so she pretended to ask questions casually, and separated him from Lou Yuying. Lou Yuying was a woman after all, and she was still a bit shy, so frustrated, she rode her horse and ran to her brother's side.

Tao'er teased Dayu in a low voice, "Brother Yu may be really popular this year, but unfortunately, the famous flower has its owner, and I don't know how many women will be secretly hurt."

Dayu glared at him angrily, "Just one Ruyan is enough for me to have a long memory. In the future, whenever I meet a woman, I will stay far away. Brother Tao, don't make fun of this." After finishing speaking, he sighed. He said with a wry smile, "I was thinking that Simba and Cheng'er were young, and I was afraid that they would cause disaster after only a few days of going out. I didn't expect that it was me who caused the trouble first, and my mother who was involved was helping to deal with the aftermath. What a shame. Say goodbye to her and her father without a face."

Tao'er couldn't help laughing again and again, Xing'er chatted with Caiyun Zhuiyue and followed behind, shrewdly refusing to go forward, for fear that her brother would remember that she helped Ruyan on his own initiative, and would be scolded again.

In fact, Dayu didn't know that the two younger brothers he spoke of who were willing to cause disasters did not live up to his expectations at all. At this time, they were deeply in dire straits and were experiencing the days of suffering that they would never forget in their entire lives.

The two naughty boys couldn't wait to leave home and leave their mother's control. They were as happy as a bird out of a cage. They rode tall horses and armed with long swords, swaggering all the way to Qinghe County. , it was Weishi, the two found a restaurant, ordered no less than ten signature dishes, and even ordered a pot of bamboo leaf greens. Like those uncles, they drank it in a big gulp, but stuck out their tongues so hot, so they went together Pushing away the wine glass and starting to eat, but half full, the glass of wine in the stomach began to gain stamina. Both of them were a little dizzy, and their voices became louder. They also forgot the mother's instructions. The food is not as good as that of Xiankelou, the one said that the wine is too spicy, not as sweet as the fruit wine at home, this one said that my aunt underestimated them, and the other said that I must make a name for myself and show my mother...

The restaurant in the small county town had a slow business, and now it was past noon. Apart from Simba, there were only two young men sitting not far from them. They were also neatly dressed and armed with swords. The appearance of a Jianghu man with a knife.Therefore, the silence in the lobby allowed the voices of Simba's words to reach the ears of those two people.

Among the two men, the bright and handsome one originally frowned, as if he was worried about something.

The black and thin young man next to him kept trying to comfort him, but it had no effect at all. Hearing Simba's loud conversation again, he felt a little impatient and bored. He was about to turn around and scold him, but was stopped by the clear and handsome man, "Junior Brother, don't Speak up and listen carefully."

Seeing his senior brother's serious face, the black and thin boy also listened attentively.

　It’s hard to catch up, it’s really not easy, I’m so tired that I’m sweating, haha, I’m not late, thank you for supporting the genuine version, a new month and a new start, I’m in a good mood!
