Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm
Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Mu Ran babbled, and cited a few more examples, wishing to become Mother Liu.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Yunlin Village, he finally concluded: "I have seen and heard all of this with my own eyes, and you... just think about it. Don't go to such a difficult situation for a short-term gain. "
After speaking, he looked up at the sky and waited for a long time, only to hear a low sob.
Yiyou listened to his words, all of which confirmed the circumstances of her previous life.Thinking of the few short meetings in the previous life, the last time he hesitated to speak, he must have said this.
If he had said it then, if she had listened, would everything have been different?
No, she was raised by Cheng's ears for five years, and she was at the age of turmoil, and she had long been fascinated by wealth.Even after listening, she only thought that he had other thoughts, and then plunged into it, not turning back until he hit the south wall.
"I dare to swear to God, I didn't lie to you in the slightest. Don't cry, just calm down and think about it..."
After a while, the tip of his nose started to sweat: "Why are you still crying... Is it because I am talking too seriously. If you don't like to hear it, just ignore it..."
Yiyou couldn't hold back her tears when she heard him being coaxed so sexually.She hated herself for being so confused, and also blamed why he didn't speak out in the first place.
Maybe, maybe she really listened to it.
Mu Ran dismounted and walked up to her, seeing her crying like a cat.Although it is not as beautiful as those beauties who are like pear blossoms with rain, but this truth can especially tug at his heart.
He was always clumsy, although he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but when he turned it over and over again, there were only a few persuasive words.
"It's all my fault, don't cry."
Although not all of Yiyou's sadness was related to Mu Ran, most of it was caused by him.Now he was swaying in front of her, his slightly simple and honest voice of comfort pierced into her heart along the veins, which actually made her even more sad.
"You first... woo...leave, don't dodge in front of me."
Sure enough, talking too loudly annoyed her, so Mu Ran led the horse forward, and tied the reins to the crooked-necked willow tree at the head of the village.He took out a slightly crumpled handkerchief from his bosom, flattened it and handed it to her.
"I'm right behind..."
"Cool Zhoukai."
Hearing the boredom hidden in her slurred voice, Mu Ran put the veil on the saddle and retreated behind another willow tree.
The willow tree grows fast, even though it is only a few decades old, it is already as thick as two people hugging each other, just covering his tall figure.Sticking his head out, he peeked at the slender figure on the horse.
The tall horse made her smaller and smaller, her long hair was tied behind her, and the ends of her hair completely covered her slender waist.Although she was only wearing a simple blue cloth robe, the color made her peeing neck more white.
The longer I look at it, the more I can't take my eyes off it.
Hiding behind the willow tree, he watched greedily.Gradually, he became fascinated. Under the willow trees were harvested wheat fields, and there were only two people left in the vast wilderness. He actually felt a sense of the past.
On Yiyou's side, she was gradually tired from crying, and looked around, there was no one around.Shuan Jiu's horse was a little impatient, snoring and raised its front hooves, unsteady her body and leaned back.
"Muran!"
A slightly panicked voice came, and Mu Ran stepped forward with quick eyes and hands.Grab the reins with one hand, and support his waist with the other hand.From a distance, it only feels slender, but when he starts to hold it, he feels it more clearly.
It's no wonder that literati love willow slender waists. Although the girl's waist is not as exaggerated as in the poems, he can hold half of it with one hand.The autumn clothes were not heavy, and the soft and boneless texture under the fabric made him reluctant to remove the slightest bit.
"I'm here, do you want to come down?"
Yiyou nodded, there was no stool here, so she had to prop up Mu Ran's big palm and use her strength to jump safely to the ground.
Keeping your feet on the ground, and looking at the appearance of the person in front of you, your emotions just returned a little.
Mu Ran looked at her like this: "If you don't like to hear it, then just think I'm talking nonsense."
Although his honest appearance is not handsome at all, it makes Yiyou feel more at ease.The woman's intuition told her that the man in front of her had a different tolerance for her.
Emboldened, she wiped away her tears, and resentment welled up in her brain: "It's all your fault, why didn't you say it earlier, if you could say it, I wouldn't have to suffer that!"
There was still a soft and greasy touch between Mu Ran's palms. Hearing the remorse and resentment in her words, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out for a while.Yiyou suffered?Her dark circles were so heavy yesterday, could it be that Mr. Zhizhou has really tossed her?
"why?"
Although her temperament has changed a lot, Yiyou still has that squeamishness in her personality.Seeing him dumbfounded, she was even more aggressive.
"Even if I don't want to hear it, you still have to speak out about such a big thing. If you don't tell me, how would I know and think about it? Whether I listen or not, you have to say no!"
Mu Ran only nodded. Seeing her so sad and trembling with her legs not close together, he was even more convinced of his guess.It is false to say that I am not disappointed in my heart, but it is more pity.
If he obeyed Brother Liao's order and entered the city after breaking the curfew three days ago, he would have stopped Lord Zhizhou.That way Yiyou wouldn't be ruined in her ignorance, and she wouldn't be as sad as she is now.Now that she has committed herself to others, she will have even less status in the mansion again, and her life will be even more difficult.
Only last night was he thinking that an official would be able to protect her, but today the matter was faintly out of his control, and for a while he felt disheartened again.
"It's all my fault, don't cry."
Yiyou punched him on the chest, while Mu Ran continued to persuade him without moving a bit under her fist.
Surprised by the horse and exhausted physically, she finally calmed down.Lowering his eyebrows, he saw that his fist was glued to the opposite chest, and suddenly all the memories of just now came back to life.
She actually cried for so long in front of him...
What's more, it's not Mu Ran's fault. It's one thing for him to be tolerant, but it's another for her to be unreasonable.
"I……"
Facing her fingers, she caught sight of a handkerchief out of the corner of her eye, and she hurriedly grabbed it to wipe away her tears.There was a daughter's fragrance in her nostrils, she paused on her wrist, and wiped it off as if nothing had happened.It turned out that Mu Ran not only got an official status when he went to Beijing this time, but also had a woman who cared about him.
Happiness is just around the corner, and she can finally let go of the debts she has longed for in her previous life.In the future, she only needs to occasionally care about whether the bride treats Mu Yu harshly.
"I lost my composure just now. Brother Mu's words are very true. I will definitely think carefully."
Seeing that she agreed, but still had a strange look on her face, Mu Ran confirmed what she was thinking.
"Yiyou, if you feel embarrassed, you can come and find me."
Regardless of whether you are perfect or not, I will definitely carry eight sedan chairs to welcome you in and treat you well.
He moved his lips and licked them silently, but he still didn't say the latter words in the end.Dayue didn't value chastity as much as the previous dynasty did, and even if Yiyou was broke, sons who wanted to marry her would line up from the streets to the alleys.
What is he like?
"Well, it's inappropriate for me to visit Shen's house like this. There is a stream over there, I'll go and wash my face."
Holding the handkerchief she walked over, the stream was clear, reflecting her red and swollen eyes.
"It's so ugly, it can't compare to the owner of that veil."
Resentfully soaking the veil in the water, she fished it out again, and when the fragrance was gone, she nodded in satisfaction.After draining the water, seeing that the veil was a little wrinkled, she felt uneasy.Mu Ran must cherish such things that he carries with him very much.
When she got back to the horse, she looked a little apprehensive.
"Brother Mu, return it to you."
Mu Ran stared at those white and tender little hands, and kicked them into his arms without caring about getting wet.
"It's late, let's go."
Seeing that his face was tense but not angry, Yi You felt like knocking over a five-flavored bottle.Seeing that Yunlin Village was right in front of her eyes, she hurriedly withdrew her thoughts.Shen Fuhai is dead, and I am afraid that there will be a tough battle to be fought today.
Although she has left the clan, Yiyou often returns to Yunlin Village.
Although the Shen family has annoying people like the old lady and Mrs. Cheng, there are also kind people like the second uncle and grandma.While this village brought her pain, it also carried the most carefree time in the first 15 years of her life.
It is so difficult to leave her homeland, and now she is close, and she often comes back to visit.While connecting with each other, she also took some white stones back to make steamed buns.
"Second uncle, I'm here to see you."
She didn't empty her hands either, but wrapped her own homemade buns.It took a short time to ride back, and the steamed stuffed bun was still warm at the moment.
"Erya is here. Your second uncle went out with your uncle early in the morning to measure the land at the foot of the mountain."
"Why hasn't that land been taken back?"
The second uncle called the two of them to come in, brought Mu Ran a bowl of water, and began to think about it.
"Although our Shen family was at a disadvantage back then, it's not easy to push the Cheng family too far because of the proximity. The Cheng family is planting wheat in the field, and they have to wait for them to harvest before making any plans."
Yiyou nodded: "This is also the kindness of my second uncle. If I were to be someone else, such a large field would be cheated for decades. Not to mention asking for the grain from the field, this season's crops will definitely not be given in full."
The second uncle's grandmother smiled kindly: "It's not that we can't eat, and we don't have to worry about it all day long. During the war a few years ago, the land was abandoned. The Cheng family has cultivated mature fields for these years, and we can enjoy the ready-made ones. "
"That's right. I'm here today to congratulate you. Sister Ying, come out to eat meat buns."
The second uncle booed her hurriedly: "It took me a long time to coax her. When you heard it, she turned red-eyed. Now call the boss to watch."
Yiyou pointed at Mu Ran: "I don't know, my cousin hates me. But this time it's really good news, Aunt Fuai is not dead. I just found out this morning, so why don't I hurry up and tell you."
"Really?"
Mu Ran took out the document and repeated what he said at Shen's house.
After listening to the second uncle's grandmother, she clasped her hands together and bowed in the direction of Yuejing: "The queen mother is really the reincarnation of the Guanyin empress, and she will live a long life."
After paying her respects, she yelled into the room: "Boss, hurry up and bring Sister Ying out, her mother is not dead."
With a plop, a half-grown child ran out of the room.She was dressed in a half-new robe, she had five parts of Shen Fu'ai's appearance, but the other five parts were a little rounder, it was Cheng Ying.
"My mother is not dead?"
Seeing that it was her who came, Sister Ying quickly raised her chin. Although her expression was haughty, she couldn't help but glance at the document, revealing her eagerness.
The second uncle's grandma patted her: "Thank you, Erya sister, if she hadn't entrusted someone to take care of her, your mother might not know what to do."
"I don't believe it. Where is my wife? Where is she?"
Mu Ran handed over the document and saw that she couldn't read, so he read it to her word by word.
"Now she is in the northwest. Although it sounds desolate there, everyone has a lot of fields. If you are down-to-earth, you will be able to have enough food and clothing if you work hard. Your mother is not too old now. If there is auspicious event in Beijing in a few years , maybe she will be pardoned again, and then she will be able to go home."
Sister Ying held the document, her arrogant expression disappeared, and her tears rolled down. She kept her second uncle and grandma.
"Grandma, aunt, my mother is not dead, not dead."
The second uncle patted her head: "You are not dead, you are obedient, and after a few years, she will be able to see you grow into a big girl when she comes back."
"kindness!"
Sister Ying kept nodding, and Yiyou opened the bun: "This is a happy event, everyone, don't cry. The bun is still hot, let's eat it while it's fresh."
This time, Sister Ying went into the room to get the bowls and chopsticks sensiblely, and handed them to Yiyou without looking sideways.
She pursed her lips and smiled, a little girl of about ten years old was at a time when she was saving face, so she didn't have to worry about it.Several people were sitting around, Second Uncle and Grandma opened the bun and asked with a little doubt.
"Why isn't Fuhai written on the document?"
Yiyou rubbed her eyes: "Originally, I wanted to wait until everyone had finished eating. On the way to Beijing, my second uncle tried to escape, but was shot and killed by the governor of the state."
"This..." The second uncle didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
But Sister Ying slapped the table and spit out three words: "He deserves it!"
The eldest daughter-in-law nodded her head quickly: "That's your uncle, you are not allowed to say such things in front of outsiders."
Sister Ying stuck out her tongue: "I won't be as stupid as my mother, I only tell you this. Although my second uncle is related to me, my mother is closer to me. But there is no good impression at all.”
Yiyou had to look at her with admiration: "Sister Ying makes sense."
After being recognized, Sister Ying finally gave her a serious look: "Sister Erya is also that stupid."
"What's wrong with me?" Yiyou pointed to herself.
"Look at my aunt, that is, the second aunt. They have always coaxed my mother around and urged her to stand out, while taking advantage of her own advantage. You are different. You have to rush forward by yourself. It is thankless, and you are not a fool. ?”
Yiyou can't help but laugh, can she be the same as Cheng?The Cheng family was favored by the Cheng family, and after marrying into the Shen family, she was protected by her relatives and aunts.
"Children, don't think so much. You follow the second uncle and grandma to be obedient, and wait for your mother to come back."
Sister Ying took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, silently expressing her determination to grow up well.
Seeing that the weather finally cleared up after the rain, the second uncle's grandmother also lost two wrinkles on her forehead.
After eating the steamed stuffed buns is the highlight of the day, Shen Fuhai's incident is an announcement of good news, but Shen Fuhai's incident is an announcement of sorrow.
Fortunately, the second uncle's grandmother was enthusiastic and spontaneously decided: "Everyone stay at home to clean up the dishes, Erya, I will go with you."
The three went to the ancestral house first, and called the wife of the current patriarch.Although Shen Fujiang is a concubine, all the strong men in the village have to work in the fields, and the distinction between concubine and concubine is not as clear as that of the Duke's family.When Shen Fujiang married his wife, Mr. Shen was still alive.Knowing that his wife is cruel, the old man personally appointed the daughter of a down-and-out scholar from the neighboring village for his eldest son.
This is Mrs. Wang, she followed Shen Fujiang forbearance before, but now that she has gained power, she has not lost her composure.
Hearing the sad news about Shen Fuhai, she just showed a hint of sadness.
"It's all fate. I don't know why my mother and second sibling will be sad."
However, Yiyou couldn't help but sigh, seeing what he did with such a face.With a full expression and a nice voice, who can pick out the slightest mistake.
"Yeah, the past is also the past. Their orphans and widows, don't just think about the hardships of the past. They are all brothers, and they won't suffer if they take care of them."
Mrs. Wang responded naturally, and casually picked up a cloth bag from the kang.
"It's also a coincidence for you. I just finished serving an old snack family and cleaned up the dishes. This is the mung bean planted in the field this year. The doctor said that my mother needs to relieve the fire, so I thought about sending her some."
"That's good. Don't worry about sister-in-law's stubborn temper. If you suffer any grievances in the future, just come and talk to Second Aunt."
Yiyou showed a soft smile from the beginning to the end, and when she saw her asking, she also interjected a few words appropriately.Hearing that the two of them clearly excluded the Cheng family woman from being in charge, her smile became more and more sincere.
Mrs. Wang is someone who knows what to do. With her in the Shen family in the future, I can worry less.
"It's not early, let's go early, mung bean soup can also be cooked."
The team of three turned into four and walked along the familiar stream.There is no fence wall at the corner, but a low earth wall instead. The dilapidated house that was about to collapse has now been renovated.
"Did we go wrong?"
The second uncle's grandmother smiled and said: "Erya hasn't come back for a long time. You can see that the mud on the wall is still wet. It has just been renovated. After your uncle became the patriarch, he saw that the old man refused to go back to the ancestral house. She fixed the house."
Yiyou's eyes were so shocked that she would believe it if Shen Fuxiang did this.Uncle?There is a real mother-killing feud between him and the old lady!
Which bloody man would still have such a good temper after decades of grandchildren's anger.
Mu Ran sighed: "Patriarch Shen is really a benevolent and filial person."
"Yes."
Mrs. Wang smiled sincerely, but her mouth was modest: "Fu Jiang has already said, after all, he is a mother, so he should take good care of him at such an old age."
As soon as she finished speaking, before everyone followed her words to praise her, an old woman with disheveled hair came around the corner.Seeing a few people with gloomy faces: "Why did this murderer come here? This is not your home, and there is no place for you to stay."
It was only after hearing the voice that Yiyou recognized that this person was Cheng Shi.Compared with the rich state half a year ago, her hair is half gray now, and she is wearing white clothes from washing, which were made a few years ago.
She was a little puzzled, although Shen Fuhai lost power, but the Cheng family has been in charge of the family for many years, no matter how you think about it, there will be no shortage of private houses.It's only been half a year, how could she be so down and out.
Seeing that Yiyou was stunned, Mu Ran acted as if she was frightened, and hurriedly stood in front of her: "Second Madam Shen, I came here this time to inform you. The Holy Majesty pardons the world, and all the death row prisoners who entered Beijing this time will be exempted for a day." robbery."
Before Cheng could be surprised, the closed wooden door opened, and the old lady grabbed Mu Ran: "Is this serious?"
"The holy decree is clear, so naturally it cannot be faked."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leaned against the wall and wept with joy: "It's really heaven-opening."
Yiyou looked at the two of them with pity: "Hey"
This humming was a stab at a hornet's nest, the old lady finally noticed her, and her joy immediately turned into deep-seated hatred.
She pointed her middle finger at her nose, and she spit out: "Looking at all the bad things you have done, Fu Hai will survive in the end. You framed him, and God will never forgive you. It's just a father who doesn't want you and was kicked out by the clan. The scourge of going out, dare to come here now. The second child's family, hurry up and drive her out of our Shen family's land."
Cheng Shi also hated it, and now she has no scruples after removing the veil of hypocrisy.Picking up the handkerchief she had just used to hug the grass, she swung it over vigorously.
"Little whore, get out of here, and see if I don't beat you to death!"
Yiyou wouldn't be at a disadvantage, she hurriedly backed away.Never thought that someone could move faster than her.Mu Ran stood in front, grabbing Cheng's wrist with one hand.
"She heard about this in the morning, but she cried all the way, and the swelling on her eyes has not gone away. I'm afraid it's not right for you to be like this."
What's going on here?Yiyou was a little confused, she was not crying for Shen Fuhai.Seeing her second uncle's grandma and Mrs. Wang look relieved at her, she thought about it, but in the end she didn't explain much.
Cheng couldn't break free a few times, and only spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"I'm sorry, she's also embarrassed. She has committed too many crimes, and even killing her head-on is not enough to pay for it."
Wang has no choice but to say, "Second brother and sister."
The old lady interrupted her: "You kill a thousand knives, there is no place for you to speak up in front of the elders. The little woman raised a young man out of education, and took away my son's family business, so I don't feel ashamed to panic. Wait until the next spring. Zhongju, he will definitely clean up you one by one."
Yiyou asked in a low voice from behind: "Second uncle, grandma, is Chunsheng still studying?"
The old lady's face was full of pride: "My eldest grandson is a Wenqu star who has gone to the official school. The court will send money to him every quarter. He will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future."
Hearing this, she still didn't understand why Shen Fuhai committed such a serious crime, but Chunsheng was not expelled from school.Among them, it must be Cheng who took out most of his private houses to open up the joints of all parties.It was no wonder that she was so destitute after only half a year.
She narrowed her eyes and put away her sarcasm, but she didn't want to waste any more time with these people.
"Mother, shh, she is in the city now, be careful that she is not good for Chunsheng."
The old lady hurriedly lowered her voice: "You are right, don't worry, if she dares, I will not spare her."
Yiyou spread her hands: "Brother Mu, don't half-talk. Grandma Second Uncle, it's more appropriate for you to decide this matter."
The old lady was even more energetic: "What's the matter? Could it be that my family Fuhai is coming back? I have already said that the little woman is not well-raised, so I should vacate the ancestral house soon. When Fuhai comes back, I will definitely persuade him not to You will be severely punished."
The smile on Wang's face froze completely, and the second uncle and grandma finally spoke.
"Sister-in-law, Fu Hai didn't make it to the capital."
"Haven't been to the capital? Well, it's close to our Yunlin Village, and we came back early."
Cheng Shi still had a sliver of sobriety, and her eyes were full of disbelief as she leaned against the wall: "Could it be...impossible!"
"That's what you think. Fu Hai ran away halfway, and he has already gone. If this child follows to the capital carefully, he will definitely save his life."
There was a hint of dream in the old lady's old voice: "Go, where did he go?"
Cheng's screamed, "Master of the family! Fu Hai, you're gone, we are old and young, how can orphans and widows live?"
Now the old lady could no longer escape, after Aunt Liu's eldest son stabilized her position, the eldest son who had earned her countless honors all these years, just died like this?Even to the point of death, he would be charged as a fugitive from death row.
"It's you. If it weren't for you, the one who killed a thousand swords, our whole family would be fine. You are a troublemaker. A good person doesn't live long and cause trouble for thousands of years. Why didn't God take you away?"
Even if Yiyou didn't look up, she could still feel the old lady's eyes that wanted to kill her.
If she was insulted like this by others, she might feel a little embarrassed in her heart.But she has heard these words since she was a child. In the past and present life combined for 20 years, she no longer takes them to heart.She scolded herself, and scolded the last trace of friendship between the grandparents and grandchildren, so she no longer occupied the commanding heights of morality.
The reason why she came to Yunlin Village in person was not because she was afraid of being bored in the courtyard by Mrs. Li, but because she had her own considerations.Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang have both told her what Sister Ying said just now.Back then, she only wanted to get rid of the Shen family quickly, and her methods were really extreme.Although she doesn't care about fame, the world's consideration of morality is indispensable for Li's business and Changsheng's entry into the government to run elementary schools.
Shen Fuhai's death is a hurdle, after all, the Shen family will rebound.With her presence, she can play by ear.In addition to trying to save face during this period of time, now that the imperial court has granted an amnesty, she can restore her lost reputation in one fell swoop.
"The damned person is you! Why is it not you who died!"
There was a black shadow in front of Leng Buding, and the old lady rushed forward, her face was full of wrinkles under her gray hair, her pierced eyes seemed to be staring out, her bloody mouth opened wide, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Yiyou!"
Mu Ran took her hand and threw her back, but he firmly blocked the human-shaped pillar.The old lady exerted so much force that she knocked him back a few steps.Not wanting to overwhelm Yiyou who was protecting him behind him, he could only hold on, his originally limping feet would limped back even more.
"What are you doing!"
The angry roar belonged to the second uncle, and behind him followed all the men of the Shen family, all of them holding hoes with their trousers on their legs.
"Sister-in-law, the man in front of you is the imperial court official!"
"Damn! So what if the imperial court orders officials! Since they won't give Fu Hai a living, then what's the point of my old lady living?"
Seeing that Mu Ran couldn't be pushed at all, the old lady simply squatted on the ground, pulled her gray hair, and cursed in various ways.
Yiyou walked out from the side of Mu Ran, but she was surprised.It turned out that in the past years, the old lady had reserved words for her.Look at her angry voice at this time, the obscene language that does not repeat every word.I'm afraid that those well-educated censors in the court will be helpless when encountering them.
Seeing her calm expression, Mu Ran felt even more distressed.Her daughter's skin is thin, she can face it so calmly, she must have been used to it on weekdays.
Immediately, he frowned and looked at the man from the Shen family who was coming from behind, hesitant to speak.
The second uncle rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward. With a throw of his arm, the shovel was inserted into the soil in front of the old lady.
"Sister-in-law, do you want the entire Shen family to be buried with you when you treat the court officials like this?"
The old lady calmed down a little, and then said as a matter of course: "Fu Hai is already dead, what's the point of us living in this world?"
!!!
The second uncle, who has always been able to know what he knows, was immediately stunned when he heard this remark.
Yiyou was also shocked, she knew that the old lady took Shen Fuhai as her lifeblood, but she never imagined that she wanted the whole Shen family to take Shen Fuhai as their lifeblood.No wonder she spent all her savings without hesitation before the court hearing last month, just to fight for the slim chance of survival.
She has become crazy about Shen Fuhai, now that she has no scruples, she will definitely put all her eggs in one basket.
The three of them live in a courtyard house, orphans and widows, with such a desperately poisonous snake, they really can't sleep well every day.
No, this person can no longer stay.In her previous life, after she entered the Chen Mansion, the old lady had a stroke during the Chinese New Year.Let her be a few months earlier in this life, and she has the right to let the Shen family have a good year.
With firm determination, she walked out from behind Muran.
The original fence wall chaimen has been replaced by an earthen wall wooden gate.The place where the old lady was rolling was right in front of the wooden door. She walked over and swept the yard casually, but she was taken aback.
Under the willow tree where Shen Fuxiang used to chop firewood, now there are piles of white stones.The pile on the left is almost transparent white, which is the highest grade white stone she divided.The ones on the right are a little yellowish, and she knows very well that this is the color of high-grade white stones after boiling water.
The two piles add up to almost half of all high-level white stones!At this rate, before the New Year is over, the high-level white stones will be consumed.
At this moment, she forgot about revenge on the old lady and restoring her reputation.Senior Shiraishi, but her biggest reliance on making money in the future.She never said anything about this matter, except for Mu Yu, the eldest son of the Li family, the only one who knew about it was Shen Fuxiang.
Originally, she had thought of a happy family, and she was unreserved when making stuffing for steamed stuffed buns. Shen Fuxiang will definitely be able to learn it if he wants to.He doesn't talk nonsense, but the Cheng family women are not easy to deal with.If everyone knew about it, how would she make money selling buns?How will the three of them live in the county once they cut off their money?
"Who moved my stone pile?"
The old lady continued to scold, she walked to the door and pushed Cheng Shi: "Get up and open it for me."
Rushing to the courtyard, she casually picked down the piles of stones, and sure enough, both piles were full of high-grade white stones.Looking at the ruined pile, her whole heart was bleeding.
"Who? Who allowed you to use my stone, say!"
The men from the Shen family rushed here one after another, and the last one was Shen Fuxiang.Seeing Yiyou, he was surprised.These days, although he takes care of his mother, he also misses his two children.
"Ah, are you home?"
Yiyou shook the stone in her hand, held back her anger and asked him in a low voice: "Did you take it out?"
Shen Fuxiang deserved it: "Well, your grandma is in poor health and can't eat. I added some of this, so she can eat more every meal."
After a pause, he saw that his daughter's expression was not right, and he touched his head with embarrassment in his voice: "I thought about telling you, but your mother definitely doesn't want to see me, so I didn't dare to go back."
Yiyou frowned into a pimple, why did it happen every time.She has decided to ignore this person, but Shen Fuxiang has a way to make her hate him even more every time.
Before she could inquire about the crime, the old lady became angry.
"Do you want me to die early, so you put stones in my food? Fuhai, look at the world, it's true that good people don't live long. Look at your brother who kills a thousand swords, he treats your mother and Daughter-in-law, Chunsheng! My good grandson also ate this stone."
When she got up, her eyes were shattered: "Fourth brother, if something happens to Chunsheng, I will definitely pay back that bastard Changsheng a hundred times!"
Shen Fuxiang was not human inside and out, and finally burst into anger: "Mother, this is a good thing, even if you didn't see it, Erya would blush for it!"
"Ha ha."
Yiyou was immediately laughed out of anger, she tried her best to hide the hidden secret, and just exposed it to the whole village.Shen Fuxiang, did he do it on purpose, or did he do it on purpose?
At the same time, she wondered how Shen Fuxiang got the stones because she had hired someone to build a high wall around the white stones before she left.Wait, at that time, she gave a key to Butcher Zhou who was acquainted with her, just in case.Butcher Zhou is upright, and Huzi is not evil, so she can trust her.
When going to the market last time, Lianlian's hateful eyes came into view.If it was her, it shouldn't be difficult to get the key.Thousands of calculations, after all, it is a hundred secrets and one sparse.
"It's just a few stones. There are many on the mountain, so it's not a good thing."
The Shen family members looked suspiciously at her, and Mu Ran hurriedly took a step to protect her behind her.
Yiyou took a deep breath, the matter has come to an end, instead of letting Shen Fuxiang expose it further, it is better for her to be a favor.
"Concerned about everyone's habits, I am not ashamed to open my mouth. Put a little stone in when boiling water, and the water will be a little sweet. But if you put too much, the pot will be fouled within three days. And I found The doctor has seen that too much is bad for your health. Especially for elderly people, if you drink too much, your bones will loosen."
She was calm, no one doubted her, everyone nodded in response, but the old lady poked a hornet's nest.
She slapped Shen Fuxiang's face with a slap, and she directly smeared it with a mouthful of thick phlegm: "I knew, fourth child, you feel uncomfortable without a wife, so you resorted to revenge on my old woman."
"Mother, I don't have... meat, I can't argue with that pressure consciousness."
The courage that Shen Fuxiang had just summoned died down again, and he walked in decadently. After washing his face, he sat on the door frame and stared at Yiyou in a daze.Not only does Yiyou feel uncomfortable looking at him, but all the men in the Shen family also look down on him from the bottom of their hearts.
Filial piety is one thing, but the new patriarch has done a good job.But if the filial person even forgets that he is an upright man, then it is really not the same thing.
"Sister-in-law, calm down first, we are all here, and we are also discussing what to do about Fu Hai."
Shen Fujiang, who had been silent all this time, also stood up: "Mother, I can't write two Shens in one stroke, and I won't ignore my second brother."
The old lady wanted to speak, but Cheng stopped her.The situation is already like this, Chunsheng is still young, and she can't go back to the Cheng family, but now she has to bow her head.
"Second Uncle, all three of us are counting on you."
Shen Fujiang understood that the better he lived, the more difficult it would be for his aunt to sleep and eat, and his parents would be relieved to know about it.The deceased is the eldest, and it is unfair for the bastard to inherit the position of patriarch. For the sake of his children and grandchildren, he has to do it well.
"Didn't the second brother choose the ancestral grave before, I'll go there and bury him there."
The second uncle was satisfied in his heart, but he refused to agree: "How to bury the ancestral grave is governed by clan regulations. The original cemetery is no longer suitable. I think another one in the west will be repaired for him."
The old lady wanted to dance again, but was caught by Mrs. Cheng, who whispered in her ear: Chunsheng.
In Yunlin Village, Chunsheng is the only one who can read well, so it doesn't matter if he endures it for a few years.As long as Chunsheng has fame and fame, everything about the Shen family will not be born by that concubine!
Seeing that everyone wanted to reach an agreement, Mu Ran, who had been silent all this time, cleared his throat, and looked at Yiyou who was holding Baishi with a face full of pain.
"The little old man hasn't congratulated Mr. Mu on his promotion yet."
"Second Uncle is serious, we are all acquaintances, so we should just do what we normally do."
"Then I won't be polite. Brother Ran has something to say."
Mu Ran cupped his hands and bowed towards the direction of Yuejing: "Holy Lord Long En, exempting death row prisoners is a blessing in the world. However, Shen Fuhai escaped halfway and never arrived in Beijing. The state officials have reported his fugitive to the Ministry of Officials. In previous years Some fugitives of this kind will go out and enter Beiyi to be the traitors of the country."
The members of the Shen family were shocked, and Shen Fujiang stood up and asked, "What does Lord Mu mean?"
"Such fugitives will be dealt with as treason. If someone with a heart pursues them, the nine clans will be implicated."
"Fu Hai!"
The crying sound belonged to the old lady. After a high-pitched wail, she foamed at the mouth and lay trembling on the ground.
"mother."
The "filial son" Shen Fuxiang ran over to catch her, and carried her into the room.Cheng was stunned, Chunsheng's father was a traitor, so does Chunsheng have a future?
No, she can't ruin her son!She made up her mind that at this moment, she took the initiative to express her opinion, and she would definitely win the favor of the clan for Chunsheng.
Seeing the old lady's appearance, Yiyou hurriedly ordered Mother Chun next to her to invite the doctor, which won her a lot of impression points.Looking back and seeing Cheng's determined face, how could he not understand what she said.
Rubbing her eyes and standing beside Mu Ran, she said with a little sadness: "Second uncle, although I am an outsider, the Shen family has raised me for 15 years, and I will never forget this kindness. So I will interrupt and say a few more words, the county magistrate Your Excellency once said that the crime of treason is the most serious crime in Dai Viet. The Shen family is such a prosperous and powerful family, but they can't take this risk."
"This statement is very true. Fu Hai has already been expelled from the ancestral hall, so he is no longer considered the Shen family. Everything about him has nothing to do with my Shen family. Fu Hai's daughter-in-law is related to the whole family. You and Chun Sheng will endure it for a few years."
The old lady resting on the recliner heard this, her face twitched, and her eyes slanted.Shaking uncontrollably, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she passed out.
(End of this chapter)
Mu Ran babbled, and cited a few more examples, wishing to become Mother Liu.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Yunlin Village, he finally concluded: "I have seen and heard all of this with my own eyes, and you... just think about it. Don't go to such a difficult situation for a short-term gain. "
After speaking, he looked up at the sky and waited for a long time, only to hear a low sob.
Yiyou listened to his words, all of which confirmed the circumstances of her previous life.Thinking of the few short meetings in the previous life, the last time he hesitated to speak, he must have said this.
If he had said it then, if she had listened, would everything have been different?
No, she was raised by Cheng's ears for five years, and she was at the age of turmoil, and she had long been fascinated by wealth.Even after listening, she only thought that he had other thoughts, and then plunged into it, not turning back until he hit the south wall.
"I dare to swear to God, I didn't lie to you in the slightest. Don't cry, just calm down and think about it..."
After a while, the tip of his nose started to sweat: "Why are you still crying... Is it because I am talking too seriously. If you don't like to hear it, just ignore it..."
Yiyou couldn't hold back her tears when she heard him being coaxed so sexually.She hated herself for being so confused, and also blamed why he didn't speak out in the first place.
Maybe, maybe she really listened to it.
Mu Ran dismounted and walked up to her, seeing her crying like a cat.Although it is not as beautiful as those beauties who are like pear blossoms with rain, but this truth can especially tug at his heart.
He was always clumsy, although he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but when he turned it over and over again, there were only a few persuasive words.
"It's all my fault, don't cry."
Although not all of Yiyou's sadness was related to Mu Ran, most of it was caused by him.Now he was swaying in front of her, his slightly simple and honest voice of comfort pierced into her heart along the veins, which actually made her even more sad.
"You first... woo...leave, don't dodge in front of me."
Sure enough, talking too loudly annoyed her, so Mu Ran led the horse forward, and tied the reins to the crooked-necked willow tree at the head of the village.He took out a slightly crumpled handkerchief from his bosom, flattened it and handed it to her.
"I'm right behind..."
"Cool Zhoukai."
Hearing the boredom hidden in her slurred voice, Mu Ran put the veil on the saddle and retreated behind another willow tree.
The willow tree grows fast, even though it is only a few decades old, it is already as thick as two people hugging each other, just covering his tall figure.Sticking his head out, he peeked at the slender figure on the horse.
The tall horse made her smaller and smaller, her long hair was tied behind her, and the ends of her hair completely covered her slender waist.Although she was only wearing a simple blue cloth robe, the color made her peeing neck more white.
The longer I look at it, the more I can't take my eyes off it.
Hiding behind the willow tree, he watched greedily.Gradually, he became fascinated. Under the willow trees were harvested wheat fields, and there were only two people left in the vast wilderness. He actually felt a sense of the past.
On Yiyou's side, she was gradually tired from crying, and looked around, there was no one around.Shuan Jiu's horse was a little impatient, snoring and raised its front hooves, unsteady her body and leaned back.
"Muran!"
A slightly panicked voice came, and Mu Ran stepped forward with quick eyes and hands.Grab the reins with one hand, and support his waist with the other hand.From a distance, it only feels slender, but when he starts to hold it, he feels it more clearly.
It's no wonder that literati love willow slender waists. Although the girl's waist is not as exaggerated as in the poems, he can hold half of it with one hand.The autumn clothes were not heavy, and the soft and boneless texture under the fabric made him reluctant to remove the slightest bit.
"I'm here, do you want to come down?"
Yiyou nodded, there was no stool here, so she had to prop up Mu Ran's big palm and use her strength to jump safely to the ground.
Keeping your feet on the ground, and looking at the appearance of the person in front of you, your emotions just returned a little.
Mu Ran looked at her like this: "If you don't like to hear it, then just think I'm talking nonsense."
Although his honest appearance is not handsome at all, it makes Yiyou feel more at ease.The woman's intuition told her that the man in front of her had a different tolerance for her.
Emboldened, she wiped away her tears, and resentment welled up in her brain: "It's all your fault, why didn't you say it earlier, if you could say it, I wouldn't have to suffer that!"
There was still a soft and greasy touch between Mu Ran's palms. Hearing the remorse and resentment in her words, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out for a while.Yiyou suffered?Her dark circles were so heavy yesterday, could it be that Mr. Zhizhou has really tossed her?
"why?"
Although her temperament has changed a lot, Yiyou still has that squeamishness in her personality.Seeing him dumbfounded, she was even more aggressive.
"Even if I don't want to hear it, you still have to speak out about such a big thing. If you don't tell me, how would I know and think about it? Whether I listen or not, you have to say no!"
Mu Ran only nodded. Seeing her so sad and trembling with her legs not close together, he was even more convinced of his guess.It is false to say that I am not disappointed in my heart, but it is more pity.
If he obeyed Brother Liao's order and entered the city after breaking the curfew three days ago, he would have stopped Lord Zhizhou.That way Yiyou wouldn't be ruined in her ignorance, and she wouldn't be as sad as she is now.Now that she has committed herself to others, she will have even less status in the mansion again, and her life will be even more difficult.
Only last night was he thinking that an official would be able to protect her, but today the matter was faintly out of his control, and for a while he felt disheartened again.
"It's all my fault, don't cry."
Yiyou punched him on the chest, while Mu Ran continued to persuade him without moving a bit under her fist.
Surprised by the horse and exhausted physically, she finally calmed down.Lowering his eyebrows, he saw that his fist was glued to the opposite chest, and suddenly all the memories of just now came back to life.
She actually cried for so long in front of him...
What's more, it's not Mu Ran's fault. It's one thing for him to be tolerant, but it's another for her to be unreasonable.
"I……"
Facing her fingers, she caught sight of a handkerchief out of the corner of her eye, and she hurriedly grabbed it to wipe away her tears.There was a daughter's fragrance in her nostrils, she paused on her wrist, and wiped it off as if nothing had happened.It turned out that Mu Ran not only got an official status when he went to Beijing this time, but also had a woman who cared about him.
Happiness is just around the corner, and she can finally let go of the debts she has longed for in her previous life.In the future, she only needs to occasionally care about whether the bride treats Mu Yu harshly.
"I lost my composure just now. Brother Mu's words are very true. I will definitely think carefully."
Seeing that she agreed, but still had a strange look on her face, Mu Ran confirmed what she was thinking.
"Yiyou, if you feel embarrassed, you can come and find me."
Regardless of whether you are perfect or not, I will definitely carry eight sedan chairs to welcome you in and treat you well.
He moved his lips and licked them silently, but he still didn't say the latter words in the end.Dayue didn't value chastity as much as the previous dynasty did, and even if Yiyou was broke, sons who wanted to marry her would line up from the streets to the alleys.
What is he like?
"Well, it's inappropriate for me to visit Shen's house like this. There is a stream over there, I'll go and wash my face."
Holding the handkerchief she walked over, the stream was clear, reflecting her red and swollen eyes.
"It's so ugly, it can't compare to the owner of that veil."
Resentfully soaking the veil in the water, she fished it out again, and when the fragrance was gone, she nodded in satisfaction.After draining the water, seeing that the veil was a little wrinkled, she felt uneasy.Mu Ran must cherish such things that he carries with him very much.
When she got back to the horse, she looked a little apprehensive.
"Brother Mu, return it to you."
Mu Ran stared at those white and tender little hands, and kicked them into his arms without caring about getting wet.
"It's late, let's go."
Seeing that his face was tense but not angry, Yi You felt like knocking over a five-flavored bottle.Seeing that Yunlin Village was right in front of her eyes, she hurriedly withdrew her thoughts.Shen Fuhai is dead, and I am afraid that there will be a tough battle to be fought today.
Although she has left the clan, Yiyou often returns to Yunlin Village.
Although the Shen family has annoying people like the old lady and Mrs. Cheng, there are also kind people like the second uncle and grandma.While this village brought her pain, it also carried the most carefree time in the first 15 years of her life.
It is so difficult to leave her homeland, and now she is close, and she often comes back to visit.While connecting with each other, she also took some white stones back to make steamed buns.
"Second uncle, I'm here to see you."
She didn't empty her hands either, but wrapped her own homemade buns.It took a short time to ride back, and the steamed stuffed bun was still warm at the moment.
"Erya is here. Your second uncle went out with your uncle early in the morning to measure the land at the foot of the mountain."
"Why hasn't that land been taken back?"
The second uncle called the two of them to come in, brought Mu Ran a bowl of water, and began to think about it.
"Although our Shen family was at a disadvantage back then, it's not easy to push the Cheng family too far because of the proximity. The Cheng family is planting wheat in the field, and they have to wait for them to harvest before making any plans."
Yiyou nodded: "This is also the kindness of my second uncle. If I were to be someone else, such a large field would be cheated for decades. Not to mention asking for the grain from the field, this season's crops will definitely not be given in full."
The second uncle's grandmother smiled kindly: "It's not that we can't eat, and we don't have to worry about it all day long. During the war a few years ago, the land was abandoned. The Cheng family has cultivated mature fields for these years, and we can enjoy the ready-made ones. "
"That's right. I'm here today to congratulate you. Sister Ying, come out to eat meat buns."
The second uncle booed her hurriedly: "It took me a long time to coax her. When you heard it, she turned red-eyed. Now call the boss to watch."
Yiyou pointed at Mu Ran: "I don't know, my cousin hates me. But this time it's really good news, Aunt Fuai is not dead. I just found out this morning, so why don't I hurry up and tell you."
"Really?"
Mu Ran took out the document and repeated what he said at Shen's house.
After listening to the second uncle's grandmother, she clasped her hands together and bowed in the direction of Yuejing: "The queen mother is really the reincarnation of the Guanyin empress, and she will live a long life."
After paying her respects, she yelled into the room: "Boss, hurry up and bring Sister Ying out, her mother is not dead."
With a plop, a half-grown child ran out of the room.She was dressed in a half-new robe, she had five parts of Shen Fu'ai's appearance, but the other five parts were a little rounder, it was Cheng Ying.
"My mother is not dead?"
Seeing that it was her who came, Sister Ying quickly raised her chin. Although her expression was haughty, she couldn't help but glance at the document, revealing her eagerness.
The second uncle's grandma patted her: "Thank you, Erya sister, if she hadn't entrusted someone to take care of her, your mother might not know what to do."
"I don't believe it. Where is my wife? Where is she?"
Mu Ran handed over the document and saw that she couldn't read, so he read it to her word by word.
"Now she is in the northwest. Although it sounds desolate there, everyone has a lot of fields. If you are down-to-earth, you will be able to have enough food and clothing if you work hard. Your mother is not too old now. If there is auspicious event in Beijing in a few years , maybe she will be pardoned again, and then she will be able to go home."
Sister Ying held the document, her arrogant expression disappeared, and her tears rolled down. She kept her second uncle and grandma.
"Grandma, aunt, my mother is not dead, not dead."
The second uncle patted her head: "You are not dead, you are obedient, and after a few years, she will be able to see you grow into a big girl when she comes back."
"kindness!"
Sister Ying kept nodding, and Yiyou opened the bun: "This is a happy event, everyone, don't cry. The bun is still hot, let's eat it while it's fresh."
This time, Sister Ying went into the room to get the bowls and chopsticks sensiblely, and handed them to Yiyou without looking sideways.
She pursed her lips and smiled, a little girl of about ten years old was at a time when she was saving face, so she didn't have to worry about it.Several people were sitting around, Second Uncle and Grandma opened the bun and asked with a little doubt.
"Why isn't Fuhai written on the document?"
Yiyou rubbed her eyes: "Originally, I wanted to wait until everyone had finished eating. On the way to Beijing, my second uncle tried to escape, but was shot and killed by the governor of the state."
"This..." The second uncle didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
But Sister Ying slapped the table and spit out three words: "He deserves it!"
The eldest daughter-in-law nodded her head quickly: "That's your uncle, you are not allowed to say such things in front of outsiders."
Sister Ying stuck out her tongue: "I won't be as stupid as my mother, I only tell you this. Although my second uncle is related to me, my mother is closer to me. But there is no good impression at all.”
Yiyou had to look at her with admiration: "Sister Ying makes sense."
After being recognized, Sister Ying finally gave her a serious look: "Sister Erya is also that stupid."
"What's wrong with me?" Yiyou pointed to herself.
"Look at my aunt, that is, the second aunt. They have always coaxed my mother around and urged her to stand out, while taking advantage of her own advantage. You are different. You have to rush forward by yourself. It is thankless, and you are not a fool. ?”
Yiyou can't help but laugh, can she be the same as Cheng?The Cheng family was favored by the Cheng family, and after marrying into the Shen family, she was protected by her relatives and aunts.
"Children, don't think so much. You follow the second uncle and grandma to be obedient, and wait for your mother to come back."
Sister Ying took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, silently expressing her determination to grow up well.
Seeing that the weather finally cleared up after the rain, the second uncle's grandmother also lost two wrinkles on her forehead.
After eating the steamed stuffed buns is the highlight of the day, Shen Fuhai's incident is an announcement of good news, but Shen Fuhai's incident is an announcement of sorrow.
Fortunately, the second uncle's grandmother was enthusiastic and spontaneously decided: "Everyone stay at home to clean up the dishes, Erya, I will go with you."
The three went to the ancestral house first, and called the wife of the current patriarch.Although Shen Fujiang is a concubine, all the strong men in the village have to work in the fields, and the distinction between concubine and concubine is not as clear as that of the Duke's family.When Shen Fujiang married his wife, Mr. Shen was still alive.Knowing that his wife is cruel, the old man personally appointed the daughter of a down-and-out scholar from the neighboring village for his eldest son.
This is Mrs. Wang, she followed Shen Fujiang forbearance before, but now that she has gained power, she has not lost her composure.
Hearing the sad news about Shen Fuhai, she just showed a hint of sadness.
"It's all fate. I don't know why my mother and second sibling will be sad."
However, Yiyou couldn't help but sigh, seeing what he did with such a face.With a full expression and a nice voice, who can pick out the slightest mistake.
"Yeah, the past is also the past. Their orphans and widows, don't just think about the hardships of the past. They are all brothers, and they won't suffer if they take care of them."
Mrs. Wang responded naturally, and casually picked up a cloth bag from the kang.
"It's also a coincidence for you. I just finished serving an old snack family and cleaned up the dishes. This is the mung bean planted in the field this year. The doctor said that my mother needs to relieve the fire, so I thought about sending her some."
"That's good. Don't worry about sister-in-law's stubborn temper. If you suffer any grievances in the future, just come and talk to Second Aunt."
Yiyou showed a soft smile from the beginning to the end, and when she saw her asking, she also interjected a few words appropriately.Hearing that the two of them clearly excluded the Cheng family woman from being in charge, her smile became more and more sincere.
Mrs. Wang is someone who knows what to do. With her in the Shen family in the future, I can worry less.
"It's not early, let's go early, mung bean soup can also be cooked."
The team of three turned into four and walked along the familiar stream.There is no fence wall at the corner, but a low earth wall instead. The dilapidated house that was about to collapse has now been renovated.
"Did we go wrong?"
The second uncle's grandmother smiled and said: "Erya hasn't come back for a long time. You can see that the mud on the wall is still wet. It has just been renovated. After your uncle became the patriarch, he saw that the old man refused to go back to the ancestral house. She fixed the house."
Yiyou's eyes were so shocked that she would believe it if Shen Fuxiang did this.Uncle?There is a real mother-killing feud between him and the old lady!
Which bloody man would still have such a good temper after decades of grandchildren's anger.
Mu Ran sighed: "Patriarch Shen is really a benevolent and filial person."
"Yes."
Mrs. Wang smiled sincerely, but her mouth was modest: "Fu Jiang has already said, after all, he is a mother, so he should take good care of him at such an old age."
As soon as she finished speaking, before everyone followed her words to praise her, an old woman with disheveled hair came around the corner.Seeing a few people with gloomy faces: "Why did this murderer come here? This is not your home, and there is no place for you to stay."
It was only after hearing the voice that Yiyou recognized that this person was Cheng Shi.Compared with the rich state half a year ago, her hair is half gray now, and she is wearing white clothes from washing, which were made a few years ago.
She was a little puzzled, although Shen Fuhai lost power, but the Cheng family has been in charge of the family for many years, no matter how you think about it, there will be no shortage of private houses.It's only been half a year, how could she be so down and out.
Seeing that Yiyou was stunned, Mu Ran acted as if she was frightened, and hurriedly stood in front of her: "Second Madam Shen, I came here this time to inform you. The Holy Majesty pardons the world, and all the death row prisoners who entered Beijing this time will be exempted for a day." robbery."
Before Cheng could be surprised, the closed wooden door opened, and the old lady grabbed Mu Ran: "Is this serious?"
"The holy decree is clear, so naturally it cannot be faked."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leaned against the wall and wept with joy: "It's really heaven-opening."
Yiyou looked at the two of them with pity: "Hey"
This humming was a stab at a hornet's nest, the old lady finally noticed her, and her joy immediately turned into deep-seated hatred.
She pointed her middle finger at her nose, and she spit out: "Looking at all the bad things you have done, Fu Hai will survive in the end. You framed him, and God will never forgive you. It's just a father who doesn't want you and was kicked out by the clan. The scourge of going out, dare to come here now. The second child's family, hurry up and drive her out of our Shen family's land."
Cheng Shi also hated it, and now she has no scruples after removing the veil of hypocrisy.Picking up the handkerchief she had just used to hug the grass, she swung it over vigorously.
"Little whore, get out of here, and see if I don't beat you to death!"
Yiyou wouldn't be at a disadvantage, she hurriedly backed away.Never thought that someone could move faster than her.Mu Ran stood in front, grabbing Cheng's wrist with one hand.
"She heard about this in the morning, but she cried all the way, and the swelling on her eyes has not gone away. I'm afraid it's not right for you to be like this."
What's going on here?Yiyou was a little confused, she was not crying for Shen Fuhai.Seeing her second uncle's grandma and Mrs. Wang look relieved at her, she thought about it, but in the end she didn't explain much.
Cheng couldn't break free a few times, and only spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"I'm sorry, she's also embarrassed. She has committed too many crimes, and even killing her head-on is not enough to pay for it."
Wang has no choice but to say, "Second brother and sister."
The old lady interrupted her: "You kill a thousand knives, there is no place for you to speak up in front of the elders. The little woman raised a young man out of education, and took away my son's family business, so I don't feel ashamed to panic. Wait until the next spring. Zhongju, he will definitely clean up you one by one."
Yiyou asked in a low voice from behind: "Second uncle, grandma, is Chunsheng still studying?"
The old lady's face was full of pride: "My eldest grandson is a Wenqu star who has gone to the official school. The court will send money to him every quarter. He will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future."
Hearing this, she still didn't understand why Shen Fuhai committed such a serious crime, but Chunsheng was not expelled from school.Among them, it must be Cheng who took out most of his private houses to open up the joints of all parties.It was no wonder that she was so destitute after only half a year.
She narrowed her eyes and put away her sarcasm, but she didn't want to waste any more time with these people.
"Mother, shh, she is in the city now, be careful that she is not good for Chunsheng."
The old lady hurriedly lowered her voice: "You are right, don't worry, if she dares, I will not spare her."
Yiyou spread her hands: "Brother Mu, don't half-talk. Grandma Second Uncle, it's more appropriate for you to decide this matter."
The old lady was even more energetic: "What's the matter? Could it be that my family Fuhai is coming back? I have already said that the little woman is not well-raised, so I should vacate the ancestral house soon. When Fuhai comes back, I will definitely persuade him not to You will be severely punished."
The smile on Wang's face froze completely, and the second uncle and grandma finally spoke.
"Sister-in-law, Fu Hai didn't make it to the capital."
"Haven't been to the capital? Well, it's close to our Yunlin Village, and we came back early."
Cheng Shi still had a sliver of sobriety, and her eyes were full of disbelief as she leaned against the wall: "Could it be...impossible!"
"That's what you think. Fu Hai ran away halfway, and he has already gone. If this child follows to the capital carefully, he will definitely save his life."
There was a hint of dream in the old lady's old voice: "Go, where did he go?"
Cheng's screamed, "Master of the family! Fu Hai, you're gone, we are old and young, how can orphans and widows live?"
Now the old lady could no longer escape, after Aunt Liu's eldest son stabilized her position, the eldest son who had earned her countless honors all these years, just died like this?Even to the point of death, he would be charged as a fugitive from death row.
"It's you. If it weren't for you, the one who killed a thousand swords, our whole family would be fine. You are a troublemaker. A good person doesn't live long and cause trouble for thousands of years. Why didn't God take you away?"
Even if Yiyou didn't look up, she could still feel the old lady's eyes that wanted to kill her.
If she was insulted like this by others, she might feel a little embarrassed in her heart.But she has heard these words since she was a child. In the past and present life combined for 20 years, she no longer takes them to heart.She scolded herself, and scolded the last trace of friendship between the grandparents and grandchildren, so she no longer occupied the commanding heights of morality.
The reason why she came to Yunlin Village in person was not because she was afraid of being bored in the courtyard by Mrs. Li, but because she had her own considerations.Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang have both told her what Sister Ying said just now.Back then, she only wanted to get rid of the Shen family quickly, and her methods were really extreme.Although she doesn't care about fame, the world's consideration of morality is indispensable for Li's business and Changsheng's entry into the government to run elementary schools.
Shen Fuhai's death is a hurdle, after all, the Shen family will rebound.With her presence, she can play by ear.In addition to trying to save face during this period of time, now that the imperial court has granted an amnesty, she can restore her lost reputation in one fell swoop.
"The damned person is you! Why is it not you who died!"
There was a black shadow in front of Leng Buding, and the old lady rushed forward, her face was full of wrinkles under her gray hair, her pierced eyes seemed to be staring out, her bloody mouth opened wide, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Yiyou!"
Mu Ran took her hand and threw her back, but he firmly blocked the human-shaped pillar.The old lady exerted so much force that she knocked him back a few steps.Not wanting to overwhelm Yiyou who was protecting him behind him, he could only hold on, his originally limping feet would limped back even more.
"What are you doing!"
The angry roar belonged to the second uncle, and behind him followed all the men of the Shen family, all of them holding hoes with their trousers on their legs.
"Sister-in-law, the man in front of you is the imperial court official!"
"Damn! So what if the imperial court orders officials! Since they won't give Fu Hai a living, then what's the point of my old lady living?"
Seeing that Mu Ran couldn't be pushed at all, the old lady simply squatted on the ground, pulled her gray hair, and cursed in various ways.
Yiyou walked out from the side of Mu Ran, but she was surprised.It turned out that in the past years, the old lady had reserved words for her.Look at her angry voice at this time, the obscene language that does not repeat every word.I'm afraid that those well-educated censors in the court will be helpless when encountering them.
Seeing her calm expression, Mu Ran felt even more distressed.Her daughter's skin is thin, she can face it so calmly, she must have been used to it on weekdays.
Immediately, he frowned and looked at the man from the Shen family who was coming from behind, hesitant to speak.
The second uncle rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward. With a throw of his arm, the shovel was inserted into the soil in front of the old lady.
"Sister-in-law, do you want the entire Shen family to be buried with you when you treat the court officials like this?"
The old lady calmed down a little, and then said as a matter of course: "Fu Hai is already dead, what's the point of us living in this world?"
!!!
The second uncle, who has always been able to know what he knows, was immediately stunned when he heard this remark.
Yiyou was also shocked, she knew that the old lady took Shen Fuhai as her lifeblood, but she never imagined that she wanted the whole Shen family to take Shen Fuhai as their lifeblood.No wonder she spent all her savings without hesitation before the court hearing last month, just to fight for the slim chance of survival.
She has become crazy about Shen Fuhai, now that she has no scruples, she will definitely put all her eggs in one basket.
The three of them live in a courtyard house, orphans and widows, with such a desperately poisonous snake, they really can't sleep well every day.
No, this person can no longer stay.In her previous life, after she entered the Chen Mansion, the old lady had a stroke during the Chinese New Year.Let her be a few months earlier in this life, and she has the right to let the Shen family have a good year.
With firm determination, she walked out from behind Muran.
The original fence wall chaimen has been replaced by an earthen wall wooden gate.The place where the old lady was rolling was right in front of the wooden door. She walked over and swept the yard casually, but she was taken aback.
Under the willow tree where Shen Fuxiang used to chop firewood, now there are piles of white stones.The pile on the left is almost transparent white, which is the highest grade white stone she divided.The ones on the right are a little yellowish, and she knows very well that this is the color of high-grade white stones after boiling water.
The two piles add up to almost half of all high-level white stones!At this rate, before the New Year is over, the high-level white stones will be consumed.
At this moment, she forgot about revenge on the old lady and restoring her reputation.Senior Shiraishi, but her biggest reliance on making money in the future.She never said anything about this matter, except for Mu Yu, the eldest son of the Li family, the only one who knew about it was Shen Fuxiang.
Originally, she had thought of a happy family, and she was unreserved when making stuffing for steamed stuffed buns. Shen Fuxiang will definitely be able to learn it if he wants to.He doesn't talk nonsense, but the Cheng family women are not easy to deal with.If everyone knew about it, how would she make money selling buns?How will the three of them live in the county once they cut off their money?
"Who moved my stone pile?"
The old lady continued to scold, she walked to the door and pushed Cheng Shi: "Get up and open it for me."
Rushing to the courtyard, she casually picked down the piles of stones, and sure enough, both piles were full of high-grade white stones.Looking at the ruined pile, her whole heart was bleeding.
"Who? Who allowed you to use my stone, say!"
The men from the Shen family rushed here one after another, and the last one was Shen Fuxiang.Seeing Yiyou, he was surprised.These days, although he takes care of his mother, he also misses his two children.
"Ah, are you home?"
Yiyou shook the stone in her hand, held back her anger and asked him in a low voice: "Did you take it out?"
Shen Fuxiang deserved it: "Well, your grandma is in poor health and can't eat. I added some of this, so she can eat more every meal."
After a pause, he saw that his daughter's expression was not right, and he touched his head with embarrassment in his voice: "I thought about telling you, but your mother definitely doesn't want to see me, so I didn't dare to go back."
Yiyou frowned into a pimple, why did it happen every time.She has decided to ignore this person, but Shen Fuxiang has a way to make her hate him even more every time.
Before she could inquire about the crime, the old lady became angry.
"Do you want me to die early, so you put stones in my food? Fuhai, look at the world, it's true that good people don't live long. Look at your brother who kills a thousand swords, he treats your mother and Daughter-in-law, Chunsheng! My good grandson also ate this stone."
When she got up, her eyes were shattered: "Fourth brother, if something happens to Chunsheng, I will definitely pay back that bastard Changsheng a hundred times!"
Shen Fuxiang was not human inside and out, and finally burst into anger: "Mother, this is a good thing, even if you didn't see it, Erya would blush for it!"
"Ha ha."
Yiyou was immediately laughed out of anger, she tried her best to hide the hidden secret, and just exposed it to the whole village.Shen Fuxiang, did he do it on purpose, or did he do it on purpose?
At the same time, she wondered how Shen Fuxiang got the stones because she had hired someone to build a high wall around the white stones before she left.Wait, at that time, she gave a key to Butcher Zhou who was acquainted with her, just in case.Butcher Zhou is upright, and Huzi is not evil, so she can trust her.
When going to the market last time, Lianlian's hateful eyes came into view.If it was her, it shouldn't be difficult to get the key.Thousands of calculations, after all, it is a hundred secrets and one sparse.
"It's just a few stones. There are many on the mountain, so it's not a good thing."
The Shen family members looked suspiciously at her, and Mu Ran hurriedly took a step to protect her behind her.
Yiyou took a deep breath, the matter has come to an end, instead of letting Shen Fuxiang expose it further, it is better for her to be a favor.
"Concerned about everyone's habits, I am not ashamed to open my mouth. Put a little stone in when boiling water, and the water will be a little sweet. But if you put too much, the pot will be fouled within three days. And I found The doctor has seen that too much is bad for your health. Especially for elderly people, if you drink too much, your bones will loosen."
She was calm, no one doubted her, everyone nodded in response, but the old lady poked a hornet's nest.
She slapped Shen Fuxiang's face with a slap, and she directly smeared it with a mouthful of thick phlegm: "I knew, fourth child, you feel uncomfortable without a wife, so you resorted to revenge on my old woman."
"Mother, I don't have... meat, I can't argue with that pressure consciousness."
The courage that Shen Fuxiang had just summoned died down again, and he walked in decadently. After washing his face, he sat on the door frame and stared at Yiyou in a daze.Not only does Yiyou feel uncomfortable looking at him, but all the men in the Shen family also look down on him from the bottom of their hearts.
Filial piety is one thing, but the new patriarch has done a good job.But if the filial person even forgets that he is an upright man, then it is really not the same thing.
"Sister-in-law, calm down first, we are all here, and we are also discussing what to do about Fu Hai."
Shen Fujiang, who had been silent all this time, also stood up: "Mother, I can't write two Shens in one stroke, and I won't ignore my second brother."
The old lady wanted to speak, but Cheng stopped her.The situation is already like this, Chunsheng is still young, and she can't go back to the Cheng family, but now she has to bow her head.
"Second Uncle, all three of us are counting on you."
Shen Fujiang understood that the better he lived, the more difficult it would be for his aunt to sleep and eat, and his parents would be relieved to know about it.The deceased is the eldest, and it is unfair for the bastard to inherit the position of patriarch. For the sake of his children and grandchildren, he has to do it well.
"Didn't the second brother choose the ancestral grave before, I'll go there and bury him there."
The second uncle was satisfied in his heart, but he refused to agree: "How to bury the ancestral grave is governed by clan regulations. The original cemetery is no longer suitable. I think another one in the west will be repaired for him."
The old lady wanted to dance again, but was caught by Mrs. Cheng, who whispered in her ear: Chunsheng.
In Yunlin Village, Chunsheng is the only one who can read well, so it doesn't matter if he endures it for a few years.As long as Chunsheng has fame and fame, everything about the Shen family will not be born by that concubine!
Seeing that everyone wanted to reach an agreement, Mu Ran, who had been silent all this time, cleared his throat, and looked at Yiyou who was holding Baishi with a face full of pain.
"The little old man hasn't congratulated Mr. Mu on his promotion yet."
"Second Uncle is serious, we are all acquaintances, so we should just do what we normally do."
"Then I won't be polite. Brother Ran has something to say."
Mu Ran cupped his hands and bowed towards the direction of Yuejing: "Holy Lord Long En, exempting death row prisoners is a blessing in the world. However, Shen Fuhai escaped halfway and never arrived in Beijing. The state officials have reported his fugitive to the Ministry of Officials. In previous years Some fugitives of this kind will go out and enter Beiyi to be the traitors of the country."
The members of the Shen family were shocked, and Shen Fujiang stood up and asked, "What does Lord Mu mean?"
"Such fugitives will be dealt with as treason. If someone with a heart pursues them, the nine clans will be implicated."
"Fu Hai!"
The crying sound belonged to the old lady. After a high-pitched wail, she foamed at the mouth and lay trembling on the ground.
"mother."
The "filial son" Shen Fuxiang ran over to catch her, and carried her into the room.Cheng was stunned, Chunsheng's father was a traitor, so does Chunsheng have a future?
No, she can't ruin her son!She made up her mind that at this moment, she took the initiative to express her opinion, and she would definitely win the favor of the clan for Chunsheng.
Seeing the old lady's appearance, Yiyou hurriedly ordered Mother Chun next to her to invite the doctor, which won her a lot of impression points.Looking back and seeing Cheng's determined face, how could he not understand what she said.
Rubbing her eyes and standing beside Mu Ran, she said with a little sadness: "Second uncle, although I am an outsider, the Shen family has raised me for 15 years, and I will never forget this kindness. So I will interrupt and say a few more words, the county magistrate Your Excellency once said that the crime of treason is the most serious crime in Dai Viet. The Shen family is such a prosperous and powerful family, but they can't take this risk."
"This statement is very true. Fu Hai has already been expelled from the ancestral hall, so he is no longer considered the Shen family. Everything about him has nothing to do with my Shen family. Fu Hai's daughter-in-law is related to the whole family. You and Chun Sheng will endure it for a few years."
The old lady resting on the recliner heard this, her face twitched, and her eyes slanted.Shaking uncontrollably, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she passed out.
