pastoral landlady

Chapter 265
Seeing that there were so many people in the room, Wang and Lin felt embarrassed to throw them out, so they kept them all for dinner. Of course, those who stayed were members of the Mo family, or some especially important clan elders. , and some old people who are highly respected in the village. As for why the Mo family has such a high prestige in the village, it is inseparable from the Juren from the Mo family a hundred years ago, but since then, the Mo family has never produced a scholar or the like But I didn't expect that this time, their Mo family would either leave, and there would be four scholars when they came out, which made them look even brighter.

The lunch was cooked by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Liu and Mo Yaoyao. At best, Xiaoxiao and Mo Xuanxuan were just helping each other. Fortunately, there are quite a lot of things at home, and they were ready in a short while. There are many people in the family. I also sat at several tables. It is a big event in the village that a scholar is born. According to the farming customs, if there is a family who has a scholar, he will definitely invite the villagers to dinner, but if someone refuses, there is nothing you can do. You can’t Force people to treat you to dinner.

Everyone was talking and laughing while they were eating, and they said compliments. Even though Xiaoxiao thought it was hypocritical, she still responded with a smile. There is no way, you can't dismiss everything they say, right? It's not hers. style.

After the meal, the two messengers were full, and Xiaoxiao instigated Lin Shi and Liu Shi to take out 20 taels of silver each, adding up to 40 taels. , so that the two messengers happily said a lot of compliments before leaving.

The members of the Wang family were exhausted again. They packed up the leftovers, cleaned the dishes and sat down on the chairs to rest. Drinking tea there, smiling from time to time, Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little creepy looking at their expressions. Think about it, those people obviously have a sullen face, but when you look carefully, their faces tremble a few times from time to time , It is strange not to be scared to death.

"Dayuan, you guys have to take good care of them. They were selected as a scholar at such a young age. I remember that Tian'er is only 16 years old now, and Feng'er is 14 years old. The other two are also a year or two apart. , the future is limitless. Also, you can watch out, don't let them go to those messy places these years, so as not to get those bad habits."

It has to be said that Patriarch Mo has been the head of the clan for so many years, and he still has a unique vision.

Mr. Mo listened respectfully, "Yes, but they have always been good, we can rest assured about that."

"Ah That's good."

The room fell silent for a while, no one spoke, Xiaoxiao and the juniors didn't dare to breathe, for fear of what these stubborn old men would do to them.

Seeing them holding teacups and drinking tea, as if the tea was so delicious, Xiao Xiao and the others drank water like cows, and I couldn't help but feel like complaining, alas, what the hell is going on, These people are really too busy.

"By the way, I heard that you bought fish fry a few days ago and put them in the paddy field?" Patriarch Mo suddenly picked up such a topic and asked, with a serious expression on his face, just like a rigid and stubborn speaker.

Mo Dayuan listened to his words and said with a smile: "Yes, Second Uncle, we are also trying to see if the paddy fields can raise fish. If we can raise fish, then we can drive the entire Mo people to raise fish, and we can sell them in the future. The fish make money, right?"

"Bullshit."

I thought I would get the support of Patriarch Mo, but I didn't expect to get two words like this. For a while, Mr. Mo froze there, his face turned blue and white, so embarrassing, he has lived so long , now in front of the younger generation, being taught a lesson by his second uncle, it's really embarrassing.

"How can you take this as a trifle? Is raising fish a trivial matter? Fish is a precious thing, and only those wealthy families can afford it. Those who can raise fish are those with rich families. We take What are you comparing with others?"

Patriarch Mo did not agree with their method at all. In his opinion, paddy fields can only be used to grow food, how can they be used to raise fish? probably put together.

Listening to him criticizing Mr. Mo mercilessly, Xiaoxiao was immediately annoyed. Why is this old man so stubborn? Take out the fish fry in the fish and send them back to the fishmonger?This is clearly impossible.

The more I think about it, the more I feel the atmosphere, and the more I feel wronged by Mr. Mo, this matter is her idea, criticize her if I have the ability, why criticize the old man, Xiaoxiao wanted to rush out to explain, but before she took two steps, she was rejected by Mo The old man stared back with a stare. It is enough for him to support this matter. Why do you need others to bear it? This way, one less person will suffer.

"Second uncle, it's actually time for us to try something new. We can't rest on our laurels. Everyone can start from scratch. Why can't we, don't you think so?" Mr. Mo squinted his eyes slightly to persuade him. It usually attracts attention in his heart.

Hearing what he said, Patriarch Mo's mood dropped. Starting from nothing is easier said than done. If all of them are so ambitious, it is not the great fortune of the family. It’s not something that can be done well, you say self-made, then tell me, how many people can really start from nothing?”

Everyone was silent. In their hearts, starting from scratch is indeed not easy, but if you don't try, how do you know you won't succeed?
"Grandpa, grandpa, Xiao Xiao disagrees with your opinion." Xiao Xiao didn't want to worry so much anymore, what kind of bullshit opinion, how far can a whole feudal thinking go by standing still? "It's not easy to start from scratch, but if you don't try, how do you know you won't succeed? Don't we, the Mo family, even dare to try?"

"Presumptuous." Patriarch Mo thought who it was at first, but he didn't expect it to be a hairy girl who hadn't grown up, so he immediately became angry and said angrily: "Da Yuan, this is your tutor, at a young age Just interrupt your lord when you are talking, and you will have it in the future when you grow up, don't you want the hen Sichen?"

Mr. Mo was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately scolded Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, why don't you hurry up and apologize, and go back to the room, we adults talk, how can you, a little girl, talk to everyone."

Hen Sichen Xiaoxiao knows what it means. It means that women are in power. In modern Chinese, it has another meaning. Meaning, but after all, she is a girl and has no right to speak in front of the elders of the family.

No matter how unconvinced she was in her heart, she had no choice but to take a step back and saluted, "Xiaoxiao knows I was wrong, and I ask the patriarch and all the elders to forgive me."
