Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 492
"It's better to buy a jade pendant or a small toy when you get to the city. Tailoring clothes is not as simple as you think." Mu Ai came back to her senses, and also objected, causing the little daughter to fall into her arms and act like a baby, "Mom, little Look at Lucky."

Mu Ai hugged her helplessly, and quickly comforted her, "You are a good painter, why don't you just draw a booklet for reading and writing, and when the child is a little older, he will be able to use it."

Xing'er's eyes lit up immediately, which is something she is very good at, and she kept saying yes.Just do what you say, collect the money box and account book, spread out the pen and ink, and draw a pamphlet on the small table, first animals, and then daily objects. In less than an hour, the bluestone and brick walls of Zecheng are in the distance. A palm-sized booklet was also drawn.

Xing'er lifted the curtains as if presenting treasures, and handed the brochure to her father and brothers to read. Ouyang rarely praised, and the little girl's eyes rolled with joy.

A group of people entered the city, asked a passerby to ask a few words, turned two streets, and arrived in front of Shiweitianmen. Shouhou went in to report, and soon, the general manager of Zecheng, Mu Twelve, came out and fell down. Kneeling in front of Mu Ai, he shouted excitedly, "Little Mu Twelve, kowtow to the master, madam, young masters and ladies."

Mu Twelve is an old man in the mansion. Since the mansion was first built, he has been with the master's family, planting rice and new vegetables, and is loyal. Later, when shops opened in various cities, he was sent out to be the shopkeeper. In a flash, he has not been there for three years. Back to Kao City, seeing the arrival of the master's family today, one can imagine the excitement in my heart.

Mu Ai supported him with her own hands, and said with a smile, "Twelve shopkeepers, I haven't seen you for three years, and I'm starting to put on weight."

Mu Twelve's face was slightly red, and he smiled innocently, "Xiao Miao has been with Madam for a few years, learned a good cooking skill, and put him on the fat."

Because after Wei Xiucai passed the Jinshi examination, he was sent to this county of Zecheng as the county magistrate, and Xiao Miao also took the initiative to ask to be transferred here to be the shopkeeper. Mu Twelve gets along nearby.

Mu Ai liked the girl's bold confession, so she was sent here right away. Sure enough, the good news was sent to Kao City last year, and the two finally tied the knot. Mu Ai also rewarded 100 taels of silver and two sets of jewelry.Looking at Mu Twelve's appearance now, the two of them must be living happily.

Mu Twelve bowed and led the crowd into the backyard. Miao Miao, who was coming out of the stove with an empty basket, immediately threw the basket in front of Mu Ai in surprise, knelt down and cried, "Ma'am, you finally Come, Xiao Miao kowtows to you."

Mu Ai frowned slightly. When Xiao Miao was in the mansion that day, she was a very assertive and steady girl. Even if she had been separated for two years and missed her master in her heart, she would not shed tears when they met. Could it be that something happened?
Mu Twelve looked at the people behind the master, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Master is here, we are too happy to be happy, why are you crying, get some tea for the master, and talk to the master later if you have something to say."

"Hey, hey, ma'am, it's a servant girl who made a mistake, ma'am please come to the house." Xiao Miao also felt impolite, and immediately got up, led Muai's family into the flower hall in the east chamber, and called the four little maids under her command Ladies and gentlemen, served dim sum and tea to Cui Meng and others who were resting in the yard, and then personally picked up the masters' favorite dim sum and placed them on the plates, then made good tea and brought them into the flower hall.

Mu Ai briefly asked about the shop, and then told Dayu, "Go with Twelve Shopkeepers to other shops and come back early."

Dayu stood up and responded, guessing that his mother must have something to ask privately, so he took his younger brothers and sisters out as an excuse to go shopping in the city.

Mu Ai poured a cup of tea for Ouyang, and then asked, "Tell me, Xiao Miao, but is there something wrong with Miss Shuan?"

Seeing that there was no one else in the room except the master, Xiao Miao took two steps forward and said, "Ma'am, it's all the servants who failed to take care of Miss Shuan. The servants have long wanted to deliver a letter to Madam, but Twelve heard the news that Madam has arrived in Rongcheng." , I guessed that my wife was coming, so I waited all the time. Miss Shuan... Well, I'm happy again."

"You are happy? This is a good thing. However, Haizi is only one year old, and the distance is too close. I'm afraid it will cause some damage to the body. Are the food and spring water in our shop delivered on time?"

"Give it up, ma'am. The servants visit Miss once a month. Food and spring water are delivered with the car. After Miss came, the first two years were fine, but this year, Gaogu County opened a... Uh...Huamanlou, the oiran inside is good at music, poetry and painting, and she is also extremely beautiful. I heard that Mr. Wei often goes to Xiaozao. I heard that the young lady was happy a month ago, so I went to deliver food again, but I saw the county There were a few new faces in the backyard of the yamen. When I asked about the lady, the lady only shed tears, but she didn't speak. Later, when Qiaoyue sent me out, she quietly told me that Master Wei took back the yamen for the redemption of the oiran, saying It’s because Miss’s birth is bound to be a girl, and in the future she wants that oiran to be a teacher, teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

"Kang Dang!" Before Xiaomiao could finish speaking, Mu Ai dropped the teacup in her hand, her face was frighteningly green.

"It's really courageous. What he said when he married Shuan Shuan, he couldn't eat it. He still thought that I was far away, so he could bully my sister. He even got a prostitute to come back to teach his daughter. His brain was kicked by a donkey. Alright."

Seeing that she was trembling with anger, and regardless of the presence of Xiao Miao in the room, Ouyang quickly stepped forward to embrace her and persuaded, "Don't be angry, let's go to Gaogu County tomorrow."

Mu Ai took a few breaths, and then asked Miao Miao, "Didn't Mr. Han also come here at the beginning, and he didn't come forward to discipline the surnamed Wei for doing such absurd things."

"Mr. Han went to visit an old friend in other places, and he has been away for half a year." Xiao Miao replied quickly.

"Okay, no one disciplines him, right? When my sister has no one to support me, I want to see what kind of courtesan dares to be my niece's teacher!" Mu Ai slapped the table hard, "Arrange meals, send someone Look for the young master and the others to come back, and set off immediately after noon!"

It was the first time for Xiaomiao to see his wife being so angry, so she responded repeatedly, turned around and went out to arrange meals, and sent someone to report.

Ouyang rubbed Mu Ai's flushed palm, frowning in distress.

Mu Ai stretched out her hands and hugged his waist tightly, her white jade-like face pressed against his ribs, and said sullenly, "Ouyang, am I wrong, if I had found a farmer for Shuan Shuan and bought a house , Hundreds of acres of land, there is no such thing."

Only then did Ouyang realize that she got angry because she blamed herself for choosing the wrong husband-in-law for Shuan Shuan, so she said in relief, "If you have a yard and a field, you have to work hard to plant in spring and harvest in autumn. Besides, she agreed with it at the beginning."

Mu Ai was silent for a while, then sighed, "If Shuan Shuan wants to make up, I will take her away and live with us."

"Okay, whatever you want."

The husband and wife had a good discussion, and the children rushed back. Although they didn't understand why they had to hurry, they didn't ask any questions when they saw their mother's expression was not good.

After the family had dinner, Mu Ai called Mu Twelve, explained a few words, and then got into the carriage and drove to Gaogu County.

Gaogu County is still more than 100 miles away from Deze City, and the official road has been in disrepair for a long time, making it extremely difficult to drive. It took a whole afternoon to drive [-] miles away. Everyone chose an open space to stay for one night, and the next morning they went back to the city. Continue on the road, and finally reach the slightly dilapidated city wall of Gaogu County before noon.

Seven or eight soldiers leaning on the mottled city gate with long guns were pointing at a woman carrying a basket not far away, talking and joking, when they suddenly saw a convoy approaching, the light burst out of their eyes, as if hungry. When the wolf saw the flesh and blood, it immediately surrounded it, raised its chin, blocked the city gate with a spear, and shouted at Cui Meng and others who were riding on the horse, "Where did you come from? Come down quickly, Pay the city tax!"

Cui Meng frowned, jumped off his horse, and asked, "The other cities don't collect taxes, why is your Gaogu County a special case!"

The soldier was obviously an old fritter, and when he heard him ask, he sneered, "Yes, our Gaogu is a special case, and our land here is precious, what's the matter, if you don't pay, don't enter."

People in the Jianghu are impatient, and they always strike at the slightest disagreement. How could Cui Meng have been so angry? He stared and wanted to strike, but suddenly remembered that there was the leader's family behind him, so he could only hold back his anger and ask, "How much is the city entry tax?"

The old lady rolled her eyes, slipped around on the carriage, and said, "Two taels for a person, five taels for the carriage!"

"You might as well go and grab it!" Cui Meng could also see that this bastard was obviously blackmailing, but he still couldn't hold back his breath, and when he punched him twice, that bastard was beaten with peach blossoms all over his face, and a mouthful of blood Spit on the ground, but also brought out two yellow teeth.

The soldiers who were watching the scene immediately surrounded them, raised their spears together, and shouted, "Beat the soldiers, do you want to rebel?"

Because they got up early and rushed on the road, the children were a little sleepy. After riding for an hour, they all squeezed into the car to catch up on sleep.Ouyang was also worried that Mu Ai was in a bad mood, so he sat in the car and told her about the past to relieve his boredom.

Earlier when they heard that there was a city tax, the couple thought it would cost only a few dozen cash, but they didn't expect Cui Meng and the others to have a conflict with the soldiers.

Ouyang opened the car door and jumped down, Mu Ai also opened the curtain to look out.

Seeing the leader come down, Cui Meng remembered that he was a bit reckless in his actions just now, so he took a step back and said, "Boss, they blackmailed us and charged tens of taels of silver for the entrance fee. , I take care of..."

Before Ouyang could speak, Mu Ai, who had been suffocated all night by Wei Xiucai's anger, spoke first, "If you beat me, I will beat you. There is nothing to worry about. Seeing that we are rich and honored today, I will blackmail you and treat the people as usual. There must be no less exploitation! Don’t they want dozens of taels of silver, okay! Beat me hard, and throw the silver to them for medical expenses.”

Hearing this, Cui Meng clenched his fists tightly as if he had been spat with blood, and immediately went to look at his leader.

Ouyang knew that Mu Ai was venting his anger, but for him, as long as he could make his wife vent her anger and stop keeping a cold face, let alone a few sex, the king of heaven and my father could beat him, so he nodded and waved.
