Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 81 Returning to the House (Pink!!)

"An Guohou, what kind of family is the place where the fifth prince is, has he ever suffered?

"Your Majesty, it is said that it is God's blessing. Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. Your Majesty has also heard about the family that saved the fifth prince and adopted him. It is the southern woman who is good at farming that the old minister mentioned just now. According to my eldest son, this The woman wandered to Kao City alone after suffering a catastrophe, and then settled in a small mountain village at the foot of Shenshan Mountain. My eldest son got fragrant rice and wanted to try planting it on a whim. I heard that this woman opened an acre of wasteland and planted it. I bought some novelty vegetables, so I came to ask for help. This woman is a widow, very cautious and cherishes her reputation. My son successfully planted rice, but her name cannot be mentioned. She just wants to live in peace and does not want to cause trouble. My eldest son agreed at that time, and she successfully planted rice with her great help. After a year of getting along, my son The husband and wife get along very well with her, and they have become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex. A few days ago, I heard that she had picked up a child at the foot of Shenshan Mountain to adopt by her side, so I went to congratulate her, and then I accidentally discovered the jade pendant. "

"It turned out to be like this, did the fifth prince suffer? The woman must have suffered and lived in a mountain village, and her livelihood must be difficult!" Shangguan Yufeng said with a frown. He felt so sorry for the suffering of the emperor, and he was so sad that he wished to take him back to his side immediately. good.

"Returning to Your Majesty, on the contrary, because of her good farming skills, the woman planted several new vegetables. Once they were launched in the restaurant run by my elder son, they were very popular and earned a lot of money. They bought fields, houses, and Maid and servant, life is very good. According to my son, when the fifth prince was first rescued, he was not talkative and shy of others. The woman took care of the food and clothing with her own hands every day. Even when she went to the field to check, she would carry the fifth prince behind her back , is really meticulous and considerate, and the fifth prince is also very willing to get close to her."

"That's good. I will try to grow rice and save the fifth prince. I will reward him heavily." Shangguan Yufeng immediately beamed with joy, and regarded the child as the fifth prince without the slightest doubt. His heart was lost and found again. Filled with joy, the subconscious has already blocked all doubts about checking the authenticity.

An Guohou made quick calculations in his heart, sighed slightly, and said with infinite guilt, "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the old minister originally promised that the Muxian family would not mention her name, but the old minister dared not lie to His Majesty. Tell His Majesty the truth. From the letter of promise, the old minister and the elder son of the old minister are all dishonest and Mu Xianshi."

"Well," Shangguan Yufeng weighed in his heart, his prince is with Mu Xianshi, she is really not suitable to show up and cause trouble.What's more, she is only an assistant in planting, and she can't take on great merits, and she doesn't want to be prominent.Why don't you just be a favor, "It sounds like that Muxian is also a wise woman. Since she likes to be quiet, don't bother her anymore. I will reward her with 1 taels of silver from my private treasury, and call you Then the older one will take care of her more, and she will not be mentioned next year when the reward is awarded. As for the matter of the Fifth Prince, it is not easy for me to intervene for the time being, you can arrange it, and it is best to send me some news every month, but remember, always Don't leave any traces."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty. The old minister knows the importance and will definitely handle this matter well. If His Majesty has no other matters to explain, the old minister will leave."

Shangguan Yufeng nodded slightly, An Guohou heaved a sigh of relief, knelt down and kowtowed again, then bowed and took a few steps back, turned around and left the study...

As the sun sets, the fiery red sunset is reflected on the screen wall of Xiao Mansion's painted lotus pond, which seems to dye the original clean and elegant new lotus with a three-point charm.Liniang, Xianxian, and Shuan Shuan got off the carriage, bypassed Zhaobi, and entered the gate of the mansion talking and laughing, followed by the maidservants carrying large and small bags. Xiao Heng greeted them at the second gate, and he was glad that he said there was nothing wrong today. follow to go out.It is scary for a woman to go shopping and shopping. After eating in the morning, they get into the car and start off together. They don't return until it is getting dark.

"Where did you go shopping today, can you buy something you like?" Xiao Heng followed them into the hall with a smile, watching the maidservant pour tea for the three of them.

"It's better to say that it's shopping with my sister-in-law to inspect the property. I went to several cloth shops and silver houses with the surname Xiao. When it got cheaper, I got a lot of good things for nothing. After lunch, I went to the market again. I went for a stroll, and came back too late because I was greedy to watch the excitement." Mu Ai was really thirsty, and regardless of the presence of the maids, she gulped down the tea in the cup, and Xia Zhi hurriedly refilled her cup.

Liniang smiled and nodded, today she has visited all the places she usually wants to go, two people shopping together is much more interesting than one person, and when they meet something they like, they can also discuss with each other, it is really lively and happy.

"By the way, why don't you see Cheng'er and Simba?" Mu Ai asked after she quenched her thirst and thought of the child, looking around quickly.

Xiao Heng said with a smile, "The two children were playing together just now, and they were staring at the second gate eagerly looking forward to your return. I saw that they were really sleepy, so I asked them to carry them to sleep first, and then feed them after waking up. Let's have a bowl of meat porridge."

"These two boys really hit it off, it's only been a few days, they seem like brothers who got along with each other since they were young." Mu Ai said with a smile.

"That's not right, Cheng'er asked where brother Simba was as soon as he opened his eyes these days, as if he was afraid that we would hide him." Liniang looked up and saw Qing Rou, the newly replaced girl in Muai's yard, bowed her head. At the door, knowing that the bath water is ready, the interface said, "Let's go back to the yard to wash the dust, change clothes and set the meal."

"Okay." Mu Ai talked and laughed with her and went out.

After the three of them sat down at the dinner table again, Xiao Heng dismissed the maid and told Mu Ai in detail the secret letter he had just received in the afternoon. Mu Ai didn't feel much about the 1 taels of silver, but the emperor promised not to mention it. Her name made her let go of a big rock in her heart, and finally escaped the fate of being the first bird.

Letting go of the big stone that had been entrenched in her heart for a long time, she began to miss her family, and immediately proposed to leave and go home tomorrow morning. After a few words of persuasion from Xiao Heng and his wife, they stopped staying. Anyway, it is not far away, and it will be very convenient for frequent visits in the future. .

There was nothing to say all night, and after breakfast the next day, Liniang helped to load Mu Ai's loot from shopping in the past few days into the cart, and also sent another cart of cloth, jewelry, food and other things, and finally parted reluctantly The two children watched them go.

Sitting in the car, Mu Ai watched Shuan Shuan take out all the purchased things and play with them, and occasionally gave some advice.It felt like a quarter of an hour after he left, the carriage stopped suddenly, and he asked aloud, Mu San said that the north gate he was going through when he came was blocked by two carriages that collided unexpectedly.

Since he started early and was not in a hurry, Mu Ai thought that he had been going through the north gate all year, and had never passed through the other three gates, so he ordered to change to the east gate.

Mu San agreed, turned around and returned to the city, and rushed to the east gate.Mu Ai and Shuan Shuan talked for a while, looked up and couldn't see Simba, turned around to look for it, and found that the fat boy was sitting behind her holding the big bear, sulking with tears in his eyes.

Mu Ai was amused, reached out and hugged him, and coaxed him to say that he would pick up Cheng'er to play at home in a few days, which made the fat boy grin again. I don't know if it was because he had more contact with children of the same age, but the fat boy was obviously much more cheerful. , small arms wrapped around Mu Ai's neck, it's nice to have a mother every mouthful, which made Shuan Shuan very jealous. , Mu Ai hugged him and looked out, teasing him to talk.

"Mom, why is the mountain so high?" Simba asked.

"Well, because there are monkeys on the mountain, monkeys like to climb high, so the mountain grows very tall." Mu Ai began to make up random reasons.

"Mom, why does that monkey like to climb high?" Simba asked again.

"Because there are delicious things in high places, monkeys like to climb high to fill their stomachs." Mu Ai continued to make up nonsense.

"Then why do delicious things grow on high places?" Simba asked again...
Finally the carriage arrived at the gate of her house, and Mu Ai jumped out of the carriage as if fleeing, and ordered Xia Zhi who came from the back carriage to hug Simba, then reached out and patted the laughing Shuan Shuan on the back, "Watching my sister being tortured by Simba, You are so happy, let him ask you tomorrow."

Shuan Shuan hurried to the door, Mu Ai looked at Simba who was being hugged and walked in front, and sighed in her heart, she really missed the cute and cute fat boy in the past, could it be that Cheng'er has some kind of magic?In just a few days, Simba turned from a little mute to a chatterbox. On the way, in less than two hours, he almost asked a hundred thousand whys. She really sacrificed countless brain cells in order to fabricate the answer. .

Everyone entered the second gate, and Muai waved Dabai and Erbai out from the space, and the two tigers began to have fun in the yard. Simba struggled to get down from Xia Zhi's arms, and skillfully rode Dabai to run or jump around. Had a great time.

Guo Huai greeted Mu Ai and entered the hall, and briefly talked about the family affairs in the past few days. It was nothing more than hoeing the cabbage field, fertilizing the rice fields, and picking up dozens of them every day from the chicken coop. The eldest granddaughter of the Liu family in the west of the village got married, and the daughter-in-law of that family came to invite her specially in the morning. Seeing that Mu Ai was not at home, she went back after talking to Aunt Guo.

Mu Ai nodded in response, guessing in her heart that it should be the granddaughter of Grandma Liu who had visited her that day when she hurt her head.So, let Guo Huai continue to work, and ordered Chun Equinox and Dong Zhi to put the bought things into storage. Xia Zhi was still watching Simba in the yard, and Qiu Equinox went into the kitchen early to prepare lunch for her.

She called Simba and walked slowly back to Sanjin's yard together, and fed him two pieces of snacks before Xia Zhi freed her hands to put the clothes and supplies back to their original places.In less than two sticks of incense time, Shuan Shuan changed his clothes and came over to coax Simba to play, before Mu Ai took a good bath and changed into a loose homely dress.

Autumn Equinox brought three bowls of shredded pork noodle soup and four dishes of refreshing side dishes. One or two snacks made their bellies round. When Qiu Equinox came back after packing up the bowls and chopsticks, they saw that the three masters were all sleeping on the low couch, so they took the bed. The thin quilt was lightly covered, and then quietly exited the door.

When they met the vernal equinox when they were about to enter the door, they made a noise-silencing gesture and joined the winter solstice and summer solstice. The four of them entered the small kitchen together and shared the remaining half pot of noodle soup.After riding all the way in the carriage, several of them were also a little tired, Chun Equinox offered to stay in the small hall and let the three of them go to sleep for a while.

Mu Ai fell asleep when he was full, and felt very uncomfortable in his stomach in his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw that the two children were sleeping soundly, so he got off the ground lightly, helped them cover the quilt again, and then entered the small hall , was about to pour a glass of water and take a stomach-strengthening tablet, but when he opened the door, he saw Chun Equinox sitting on a soft couch under the window, staring blankly at the ground, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Her face darkened, Chun Equinox has always been prudent and prudent, and she takes care of everything for her on weekdays, she loves it very much, who made her feel wronged today, to hide in a place where no one is around and shed tears like this?

"Spring equinox, uh! But what is there to hide from me?" Mu Ai sat beside her, hiccupping and asked.

Chunfen obviously didn't expect Madam to wake up so soon, and hastily wiped away tears, "Madam, Chunfen dare not hide it from you."

"Uh, give me, uh, pour me a glass of water." Muai's hiccups became more severe, Chun Equinox immediately poured a glass of water for her, and then gently patted her back with his hand.

Mu Ai ate the Xiaoshi tablets, and stroked her chest a few times, feeling that the hiccups were lighter, so she pulled Chunfen to sit next to her, and said softly, "Chunfen, you have been with me for almost a year, I You all know what kind of temperament you have. I don’t want you to hide anything from me, but if you are wronged, you must speak out, and I will make the decision for you.”

When Chun Equinox heard his wife say this, tears fell more urgently, and he choked up and explained the reason.It turns out that the north gate is blocked today, so we have to go through the east gate instead.The place outside the east gate was originally the most dilapidated and poor place on the edge of Kao City.Chunfen's family name is Sun, and they live in an adobe house in that area. Their parents rely on doing odd jobs for people with a lot of fields to earn some copper coins to support the family.

She has two younger sisters and a younger brother, because she is getting older and her mother is sick, so there is really no money left to buy her a dowry. Besides, her second sister is already 12 years old and can take care of the housework of washing and cooking. So her father cruelly sold her to Ren Yazi for eight taels of silver to supplement the family.

In the morning, she lay on the car window and looked out, and she saw her youngest sister and younger brother picking up vegetables and leaves on the side of the road, wearing clothes that were much tattered than when she was at home. She felt uncomfortable and blamed her parents for selling her. , and thinking about the suffering of his younger siblings, he had no intention of taking a nap, so he secretly wiped his tears here.

After hearing her finish, Mu Ai saw that her eyes were swollen like peach pits, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing, took her hand and said, "On weekdays, I see you are prudent and cautious, but when something happens, how can you be so clueless. I I thought you were wronged somewhere, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter. If you told me at that time, I would have let you get off the car and go home to have a look. Even if you didn’t say it at the time, when I settle down and have free time, please It’s okay to go back on a day off. As for crying alone? It’s also my fault, the rest of the family are all from the south, and there are no relatives nearby, so I forgot that the four of you are different from them.”

Chun Equinox quickly got up and knelt down, and asked with joy in his eyes, "Madam, do you allow me to go home and have a look?"

　Twelve thousand, as promised! !

　　Change to normal two changes tomorrow! !
　　Friends are happy to watch today, just give a reward,
　　Give the red wine some power,

　　I'm so dizzy right now that I almost fell out of bed,
　　But there are still so many manuscripts that have not been changed, and we have to continue to code new characters! !

　　Woohoo, I really want to cry! ! !
