Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 80

Yiyou had heard of Mr. Tie's name in her previous life.Because of his name as the reincarnation of "Tieguai Li", before spring plowing in Yunxian County and even the entire Yunzhou, they all asked him to do some divination before deciding to plant drought-resistant sorghum bean seedlings or wheat seedlings that need rainwater. paddy.

Mr. Tie doesn't hide his secrets, he does his best every time.In this way, Yunzhou has a good harvest almost every year.In only two years, the first fire broke out in July, and the flames from the setting sun burned the entire crops, and even the houses with thatched roofs were burned to ruins.In the remaining year, a gust of wind suddenly blew a dragon to absorb water, and the wheat seedlings in the fertile field were uprooted or staggered.

Although there were occasional mistakes, in the eyes of the disaster-stricken Yunzhou people, Mr. Tie's move was nothing less than a miracle.Even Yiyou, although unwilling to go to the ground to be troubled, still respects and admires Mr. Tie very much.When she was a maid in her previous life, she had met this person a few times.He is easy-going, and when he sees her occasionally, there is unstoppable regret in his eyes.She was still skeptical at the time, but it wasn't until Mu Ran told Mr. Tie what Mr. Tie said before getting married yesterday that she suddenly realized.

It turns out that those eyes that have insight into the world have already seen through her nature.He was right, beautiful girls who were poor when they were young, most of them have a higher heart than the sky and a thinner life than paper.The phrase "Miss's body is a maid's life" that the elders always sighed is not just empty talk, she in her previous life is the real proof.

"Mr. Iron."

At this moment, she stood up obediently, and took out a judge's pen from her bag.Ordinary people can't buy the tortoise shell used in divination, and this is the only thing Mu Ran can prepare.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir, this is my wish."

Mr. Tie took a deep look at Yiyou, then nodded in satisfaction, and took it with a smile: "This... is Langhao?"

Chen Xiancheng stared wide-eyed: "I said that when the loot was distributed a few days ago, boy Mu had to ask for those white hairs, so he wanted to pay tribute to you, a magician. Hey, Mr. Yin Yang, you are getting more valuable the older you are, I can't beat it."

Everyone could hear his teasing intentions, Mr. Tie held the judge's pen lovingly: "Is this handicraft produced by Qiannianzhai?"

Millennium Zhai specializes in the Four Treasures of the Study, and its reputation spreads far and wide, and there is a branch in Yunzhou City.

"Exactly, this thing was ordered by the military supervisor. I borrow flowers to present Buddha, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Chen Xiancheng's face was full of joy, and Mr. Tie also understood that most people can't hire the master of Qiannianzhai.Liao Jianjun made the move in person, though it was through Mu Ran, it was also an expression of goodwill: "This gift is really not generous. Master Mu, you are a good wife."

When Mr. Tie first praised him, Yiyou's excitement was beyond words.Thinking of the big man in front of her, she hurriedly lowered her head shyly, she couldn't embarrass Mu Ran for the first time.

"Good, very good."

Mr. Tie likes to be quiet by nature. As a deified character, he naturally cannot be compared with ordinary people.Therefore, except for a few visits to the courtyard connected to his county government, he almost hid in the courtyard during the rest of the time, lying in the sea of ​​books to study.

He had heard that Mu Ran's daughter-in-law was beautiful, and seeing her now, she was indeed beautiful: he had read Luoshen's Fu thoroughly, and had imitated the appearance of the Goddess of King Xiang, so he was dazzled when he first saw her.But although she is beautiful, the girl's temperament is peaceful and peaceful, and this is what he really appreciates.After all, too much suffering can easily distort a person's mind, and a person like her who is unbending but becomes more flexible already has a faint relic of the ancient gentleman.

Mr. Tie is a straightforward person, and when he thought of this, he immediately praised him.

Mu Ran's face turned dark for a while, why even the most unfeminine "Tieguai Li" is interested in the little daughter-in-law.Yiyou, however, was so praised that she couldn't lift her head, she waved her hands and kept saying humility.

"Mr. is too famous. In fact, from my point of view, the county magistrate is an official, Mr. Tie is well-educated, he is kind to others, and his husband is born in the army to protect his family and defend the country. Compared with the three of you, I am nothing compared to the three of you. "

Each person has a high hat, impartiality.And what she said was true.Mr. Tie stopped the praise he had heard, and nodded to Chen Xiancheng.

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, let's look at the county magistrate Chen, if he hadn't married his wife, Mrs. Zhang, he would probably still be an empty county magistrate in some remote mountain valley at this moment due to his background.Although Mu Ran's wife came from a low family background, she didn't need the support of those dignitaries because of her background in the direct line of General Liao.His wife, who values ​​character

"Boy Mu, your daughter-in-law can really talk, she's not the same as a piece of wood like you."

Mu Ran responded with a smile, and put aside that little bit of jealousy. It was more comfortable for others to praise his little daughter-in-law than to praise himself.

"Mr. Tie was overjoyed just now when he entered the door, so what's the matter?"

He asked with his hands, did he believe that Mr. Tie came to see them specially to make up for the missing congratulations on the wedding day.

Mr. Tie put the judge's pen in his sleeve: "Seeing that I forgot such an important event when I saw these two happy people. Take this as my congratulatory gift."

Mu Ran took it over, with unstoppable surprise on his face, it was actually a seal from Mr. Tie.As famous as Mr. Tie's magical Yin-Yang Fengshui technique is his attainments in gold and stone.It's just that he has a rich family and doesn't make a living from it, so most ordinary people can't find it.

"Boy Mu, you are really lucky. Isn't this a piece of Shoushan Stone that you got a few years ago, and you are finally willing to use it? If you have time, can you give it to me?"

Mr. Tie stroked the edge of the judge's pen: "Equivalent exchange, no deception."

Chen Xiancheng froze immediately: "Don't keep it up, tell me what's going on."

"You still haven't heard about this meeting?"

However, Mu Ran handed over the Shoushan stone seal to Yiyou. Yiyou looked down, and there were four big seal characters "Zhixing Xiaoyin" engraved on the stone.If she hadn't known about Mu Ran's weak crown and added the word "Zhixing", with the little ink in her stomach, she would definitely not be able to understand it.

Chen Xiancheng was even more puzzled: "What's going on?"

"I said, you old man, you have been worried for several months, and in the end you have a glass of wedding wine, and you forget all about it. The results of the official assessment have been released and they were delivered to Yunzhou yesterday."

Chen Xiancheng hurriedly rummaged through the desk, and found a copy among a pile of official documents.

After reading through the pages, his hands trembled when he saw the "excellent" written by the clerks of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials stipulated that those who were excellent in three consecutive assessments should be promoted by one to half a grade as appropriate.Since he became the county magistrate, he has achieved excellent results for five consecutive years.This kind of situation is really rare, but who told him that when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he accidentally saw Mr. Tie who was drunk and passed out by the roadside, so he took him to the post with a kind heart.

With this trump card, Yun County has a bumper harvest year after year, and with his wife taking care of it, it's not a problem to be excellent.

However, he was only excited for a while, and he quickly calmed down: "That's all in Dayue Prefecture and County. There is still no news about Chen Zhizhou's expansion of hermitism, so what about being superior?"

Mr. Tie sat down respectfully, "I came here today for this purpose."

Chen Xiancheng's expression became serious, Yiyou picked up the package: "It's late, I'm going to visit my wife and sister Qiao first."

"Well, when the meeting is over, I will wait for you at the Hanging Flower Gate."

Mu Ran told his daughter-in-law that Chen Xiancheng and Mr. Tie continued to be invisible people with winking eyes.

Yiyou suppresses Mu Ran who is about to get up, it's okay for him to be courteous at home, but a man has to stand up outside.Although she felt that there was nothing wrong with taking care of the husband and wife, the customs of the whole Da Viet were like this. If Mu Ran was too attentive, his colleagues who were not full of machismo would exclude him.

When the door was closed, Mr. Tie cleared his throat, took a sip of tea, and under Chen Xiancheng's repeated urging, Shi Shiran said:
"The Chen family is not short of people in the center, so the records of the Zhizhou will naturally not be presented to the imperial court. But this winter has been snowing heavily, and many Yi people's livestock have froze to death. In the twelfth lunar month, there is another emergency along the Shanhaiguan. The Holy Master urgently recruits General Liao, and the front-line garrison rations If there is a problem, this backlog will be dug out.”

Chen Xiancheng only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and he was already in despair after waiting many times.Now, he really wants to jump up and hug the Yi brothers' necks, and boast: You did a good job!

Mu Ran didn't want to praise the Yi brothers, but his increasingly developed mind thought about it: Zhizhou had bullied his little daughter-in-law, and even had deep thoughts about her.If the memorial was dug up, the rich and powerful in Yintian would definitely hate it, even the Chen family would have to cut their tails to survive.

General Liao has made outstanding military exploits throughout his life and won the new post, and he can be bitten by the powerful to be disarmed and returned to the field.Chen Zhizhou was born in a wealthy family, but he is not closely related to Jinshang.After weighing the two sides, his brows stretched even more.

"Mr. Tie, Chen Zhizhou has served the country and the people this time, and he will definitely be promoted to important positions in the Lifan Academy."

The Lifan Academy is in charge of ethnic affairs and has always been a cold bench.Mr. Tie also knew this, touched the smooth barrel of the judge's pen, and said, "This kind of loyal minister will definitely enter Yuejing and accompany you forever."

Chen Xiancheng also touched his new desk. The money spent on this item came from Yintian of the Jiang family.

"As an official, I want to share the worries of the Holy One and benefit the common people. I searched for the thousand acres of hidden land years ago, and I have made a book with no penny and sent it under the name of Master Zhizhou."

Mu Ran and Mr. Tie laughed weakly: "Your Excellency is wise."

The three of them all knew in their hearts that the resources in the court were only those, and the rich and powerful families had great careers, so they naturally united to exclude people from poor backgrounds.Like Chen Zhixian, even if he stays in the house honestly, he will not benefit from the powerful.Stretching the head is a knife, retracting the head is also a knife, there is Chen Zhizhou's ready-made banner, he just pulls it up.

There was harmony in the study, and sister Qiao's laughter came from the main courtyard.

"It's so beautiful. Auntie is very handy."

Zhang patted her daughter's shoulder with a smile: "Is this to dislike my mother's lack of dexterity?"

Sister Qiao nodded: "Mother, you are indeed not dexterous, but you will give me a very beautiful hairpin. You and Yiyou's aunt are both good mothers."

Mrs. Zhang couldn't get angry, couldn't laugh, pulled off the veil, her eyes were full of surprise: "Ah, this looks like Shu embroidery. There were turmoil in the past few years, and now the skills in Yuejing have been lost."

"what?"

Even Yiyou was surprised by this, she knew that there were some things like ice silk silk yarn, because the complex raw materials of the technique were precious, and had disappeared as early as a hundred years ago.Most of the ones that can be seen on the market today are properly preserved by big families. This is the case. Because they need to be protected from moisture, light and moth, they are usually not taken out of the warehouse.

She had seen Mrs. Li when she was embroidering handkerchiefs, the needle and the thread were flying, and it took a long time to embroider just such a flower.After several months of busy work, she only produced less than ten handkerchiefs.She knew that this handkerchief was not easy, but she never thought that it would be a lost skill.

"Ma'am, is this...really?"

Mrs. Zhang took another look, and then nodded: "There is such a double-sided embroidered screen with Shu embroidery in the branch of the Zhang family in Yuejing. I saw it when I was young, and the stitching method is not bad."

Yiyou was both happy and worried.Rare things are expensive, and since they have been lost, embroidered handkerchiefs will definitely make a lot of money.But she is no longer naive in her previous life, and she understands the behavior of the upper class to some extent.Some dignitaries, for the sake of vested interests, will never take into account one or two insignificant civilian wishes.

In the worst case, Mrs. Li will be imprisoned in a Zhuangzi like the mother-in-law who learned embroidery art back then, and forced to sign a contract of sale. Not free.

Apparently Mrs. Zhang also expected this situation: "Sister Qiao, don't say anything about the handkerchief. Yiyou doesn't have to worry too much. In the land of Yunzhou, except Mrs. Yin, who knows the state's capital, I am afraid that no one will recognize it. This handkerchief."

"That's good."

Zhang's thought is more far-reaching, her natal family in the capital is very powerful.For these families, a novelty is generally emphasized when reciprocating etiquette.If he could keep this thing at home, it would be a small help to his father and elder brother's career.Her natal family has benefited, so they will not treat Brother Rui in the capital badly.

Thinking of this, she gave her instructions again, and even told the most serious situation: "The nobles in the palace all love beauty, if you let them know, your mother may have to go to court."

Although Yiyou has never been to Yuejing, she only knows that Yeting is the place where officials and maids live.Once you enter the palace, unless the Holy One grants grace, you won't be able to come out until you die.

"Madam, don't worry, I will tell my mother when I return to Ning tomorrow. In fact, this embroidery is extremely laborious. She has to take care of the buns every day, and she doesn't have much energy to do more."

Seeing that things were well arranged, Mrs. Zhang became interested and asked her about her marriage.

Regardless of whether she has previous life experience or not, when it comes to this matter, she can't help but feel shy.On the other hand, Sister Qiao was not afraid of it because of her failed marriage last time.

"I've been up since before dawn, and I'm really exhausted after a day of tossing around. Are you tired, Yiyou?"

"How does your Lord Mu treat you, but it's useless for me to ask. You look like this, even if I see it, I will be tempted. Others will definitely hold it in the palm of their hands."

Speaking of this, she was a little disappointed: "Mother, you said that if I was as beautiful as Yiyou, would Young Master Jiang still be thinking about his mother's cousin?" Without waiting for others to come up with a suitable answer, she nodded He shook his head again: "Although I can't compare with Yiyou, I'm much more beautiful than that Wang Shuang. It's Mr. Jiang who has no eyes. When my brother comes back, I must invite him out for a drink, put on a sack and beat him up."

Yiyou listened with wide-eyed eyes. Based on her intuition, the eldest son Chen Rui, who had never met in two lifetimes, would certainly not be such a simple and rude person.

"This girl is getting more and more wild, how can your brother be like you."

When the conversation turned, Zhang smiled triumphantly: "In my opinion, if he is, he will have a drink with his classmate from back then, and he will pay more attention to your sister during the chat."

Yiyou could also hear the unfinished meaning in her words. Chen Rui studied in a government school since he was a child, and all his classmates were famous people in Yunzhou.Moreover, he was the only one in Yunzhou to enter the Guozijian, and he was the leader among the students.He cares about his sister a few words, others will only praise how he abides by etiquette and filial piety.

As for whether Mr. Jiang's reputation will be bad, who cares if he dies!It's a fact that it's broken, Chen Rui didn't exaggerate too much.

Sister Qiao was quite dissatisfied: "Mother, how can you be so sure? I think my brother's bow riding is also good. Most of the yamen servants can't beat his kung fu. Maybe he wants to use his muscles now."

Zhang smiled mysteriously, and pulled out a letter from behind: "Brother Rui is spending the New Year at your grandfather's house this year, and this is the letter he sent home this morning."

Sister Qiao snatched it back and read it word by word.

"Mother, it turns out that my brother has already done this."

Mrs. Li nodded: "The Jiang family's family style is also very famous in Yuejing. If not, Wang's daughter would not have married Jiang Tongpan back then."

"That's right, the Jiang family's family style is really good, and Yuejing already knows it now."

Listening to Sister Qiao's upbeat irony, Yiyou was also happy for her from the bottom of her heart.At the same time, she secretly rejoiced that both her family and Mu Ran had leaned on the big tree of the county government and had a good relationship.Zhang's intelligence, which is not inferior to that of a man, really made her admire.

Not only that, Mrs. Zhang is also a protector.Just by looking at Mama Wu, one can see that if he hadn't married Mama Wu, how could he be the leader of all the prison guards with Uncle Qian's distiller's grains old man.After all, that position, although it sounds ugly, is really rich in communication.

As soon as she thought of Mama Wu, she opened the door and walked in with a happy face.

"Ma'am, Mrs. Mu, Miss, overjoyed, overjoyed!"

"Where does the joy come from?"

"The official department judged the master as excellent, and the master ordered someone to report, and the governor of Zhizhou has already played it to the heavens."

Yiyou didn't listen to the second half of the paragraph just now, but now before and after the marriage, she also wants to understand: "Just now my husband and I visited Mr. Chen, and I have heard about the evaluation. I just saw my wife and I was happy, but I forgot it for a while."

Zhang's face was full of joy: "You can forget such a big event, but this matter is also related to you."

"I?"

Yiyou was surprised. After the engagement, the matchmaker sent by Yunzhou also came to the door several times, trying to make her withdraw from the marriage and become the noble concubine who gave birth to a son for the Chen family.But no matter how the matchmaker rubbed her lips, Li Shi was like sawing a gourd, no matter what, she insisted on not letting go.

Li Shi did not only do these things, after the matchmaker left, she vomited bitterness to her neighbors: it is not good for a girl to be born too young, and she vaguely explained the cause and effect by the way.The news of Sister Qiao's resignation has long been rumored in Yunzhou, so her acquaintance with Chen Zhizhou is no longer a rumor of those private meetings in the moonlight.

The matchmaker came several times, and the cause and effect became more transparent.Seeing that the eyes of the neighbors became more and more wrong, Yin finally lost the battle.

After reminiscing, Yiyou knew that with Yin's temperament, she would settle accounts after autumn.Being targeted by her, even though Mu Ran was guarded by Supervisor Liao, it was still a big trouble.

"Madam's words are very true. If Master Zhizhou can be promoted, I will let go of the breath I was hanging on."

Zhang's eyes showed approval: "It's true, and you don't need to worry too much about this matter. Although the Zhizhou Lord is in charge of the whole Yunzhou, I still have confidence in this county."

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang's conversation changed: "However, there is still a troublesome thing right now."

"kindness?"

"You have married into an official family. Although the time is short, there are some things that cannot be avoided. Before the young year, each family in Yunzhou had to move around. In the few days around the twenties, we all have to get together, Join in the fun with each other."

"I don't have any experience, so please give me some pointers."

"That's easy to say. When the time comes, you will follow me. Talk less and watch more. Not saying it's good, even if someone deliberately finds faults, they won't find any faults."

Yiyou asked a lot about management, and Zhang answered them one by one.Soon she discovered that what the official wife did during the Chinese New Year was not much different from that of the Shen family in Yunlin Village.The difference is that the people they make friends with on weekdays are richer, and even the gifts they give are more valuable.

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat. Li Shi saved up 400 taels of silver, and Mu Ran gave an extra 300 taels.She originally thought that each of the two companies would pay half, and take advantage of the Chinese New Year to sell suitable shops, and the two companies would share the surplus proportionally in the future.But now after listening to her, one head and two big, 300 taels seems to be a lot, but Mu Ran's current position as a county lieutenant gives more and receives less, and she really doesn't know if she can spend all the 300 taels.

Telling all the sorrows in his heart, Mrs. Zhang laughed: "He really knows how to live, but you see, there are so many people in the county government, which official is so poor that he can't get rid of it because of the New Year's visits?"

"It's not like that, so please ask Madam to teach me."

"Forget it, let me talk to you more. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are the richest, but their status is the lowest. Our Yun County is not a desolate place. There are many merchants here, and they have close contacts with housekeepers. Usually they have a The matter must be protected by the government. With Mu Ran's current status, someone will definitely come to the door."

Then Mrs. Zhang showed her a clear way. Recently, the imperial court was about to go to war, and the money and food must be collected.However, Yunzhou is rich and prosperous. According to the tax rate of the imperial court, half of the merchants can pay the full amount, and the remaining half will be divided among the various households.

"If this is investigated, isn't it a crime of corruption?"

Mrs. Zhang laughed even more cheerfully: "How can such a wise man be deceived by us at will. He knows these things well. As long as the people below are not too excessive, the people will not be expropriated. This is a peaceful and prosperous age." .”

Yiyou finally understands that, for example, the county magistrate Jia is a clean and honest official who does not take anything from the people, and the people under his rule can only have food and clothing; After high taxes, they still live in abundance.

Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance which is better.Chen Xiancheng has been an official for many years, and what he has done is to coordinate and discover the abilities of all officials as much as possible.Colleagues work together to ensure that the spring plowing and autumn harvest will be smooth and the business roads will be smooth.Everyone gets rich, and then they can give him more money.

"So you can take it with confidence and go home so that Mu Ran can do the job comfortably. Three years later, the Ministry of Officials will get an excellent grade in the evaluation."

Yiyou deeply kept this passage in her heart, and she found that every time she interacted with Mrs. Zhang, she always had unexpected gains.Time and time again, she gradually got rid of the narrow vision of Yunlin Village and looked towards a higher and wider world.

"Thank you for your advice, ma'am."

Yiyou bowed deeply sincerely, and Zhang Shi also accepted.

When two tigers fight, there must be a wound. She has a strong temper, and she likes gentle and independent people the most.When Yiyou negotiated terms with her at the beginning of this summer, she only felt that this person was too rigid.It can be seen that she is filial to her parents and loves her younger brother, and she also discovered that hidden soft side by the way.The longer we get along, the stronger her appreciation becomes.It is true that she has a very low starting point, but she can't help being humble and eager to learn.Besides, such a beautiful person, standing in front of her, just looking at it is also pleasing to the eye.

She didn't want to bring anyone, it was too burdensome.But now that he has decided to take her with him, the gift is not in vain.

Yiyou can feel Zhang's attitude, and she understands that Zhang's agreement is so happy, in addition to her own congenial personality, what is more important is the relationship between Mu Ran and Liao Jianjun.

"Come on, let me tell you something today. These people usually get together, and they are ranked according to their respective husbands and husbands' official positions. If this is the only point, it is really boring, and the most talked about is the children."

Speaking of this, Zhang's face was full of pride: "I don't have the slightest burden on this point. Both Brother Rui and Sister Qiao are good. It's too late for them to envy me."

Qiaojie curled her lips and poured cold water unceremoniously: "Mom, what should we say this year?"

It's about other people's privacy, Yiyou just smiled and didn't say much.

"You can say what you want. Although I don't say anything recently to calm down the storm, it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of them. You two will give me enough airs when the time comes. Those who step down Those who hold high will not bully whoever you bully!"

Yiyou hurriedly responded, Qiaojie stuck out her tongue at her: "Mother, I know."

Convincing her daughter with a few words, Mrs. Zhang turned her head: "You are at this age, it is time for recuperation. For women to nourish, they have to start from a young age. If one does not pay attention, when the person is old and pale, then the energy will be all gone. Run away, your bones are like a sieve, even Tianshan Xuelian can't make up."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhang handed her a prescription, Yiyou opened it and looked at it, it was probably a medicinal diet.

"If you talk about the most damaging thing, it's childbirth. You can't make it now, and it will be a good time to take care of it for a few years, and it will be around [-] years. Be careful and take care of it for a few years, and the bones of the body will be good before it goes smoothly. Otherwise, look at those Those who were born early, basically one will die and the other will die, and even if they barely support them, they will be sick."

Yiyou blushed, and Qiaojie also hid behind her: "Mother, why are you talking about this?"

Zhang's glanced at her neck vaguely, Yiyou remembered the bruises all over her body in the morning, and hurriedly pulled up her skirt.In fact, she had heard these words from the Langzhong in her previous life, and although she still felt a little harsh, she understood better: Zhang Shi, who has always been measured, must have put her in a very cordial position when he said these words.

"I...I know."

Responding with a blushing face, she folded up the prescription and put it in her purse properly.

Zhang's words were meant to be probing, but now seeing that she could really listen, she also opened up.

Until she was about to leave, Yiyou was stuffed with another set of tricks. Besides, her mind was full of trivial common sense of official life.Such as clothing, jewelry, decorations, what should be used to violate the prohibition.There are all kinds of things, only impossible, nothing unexpected.

Mu Ran also had a long conversation with Chen Xiancheng and Mr. Tie.After being an official for several months, he has already thoroughly grasped the attention.At this time, what the three of them planned was the post of Zhizhou.

After a morning of brainstorming, a complete plan was produced.Chen Xiancheng was overjoyed, Mu Ran was happy for him, and also happy for his future success.

Standing in front of the hanging flower door, he saw the little daughter-in-law coming out with her mosquito-repellent coils on her eyes, and saw him with a gesture of amnesty.

Qiaojie, who was following him, winked at him when she saw him, "Since Mr. Mu is here, I'll just send it here."

Yiyou waved at Miss Qiao feebly, stood in front of Mu Ran, tried her best to get rid of all the rules like a curse, and smiled at him with the corners of her mouth: "Brother Mu, Mu Yu is still waiting for dinner at home, let's go back soon."

"it is good."

Yiyou squinted her eyes, feeling that he was hesitant to speak.Before she could ask any questions, when she reached the gate of the county government office, she saw a carriage followed by two men who were probably a head shorter than her.The two wore the same blue padded jackets as the county government, and their thin faces were almost exactly the same.

"The gift from the twins, Mr. Chen, and I combined it to serve as servants for Mu Yu and Changsheng."

Suddenly from the exploited class to the exploiting class, Yiyou said that she is very well adapted to this beautiful feeling.

Taking a step forward, Yiyou asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

The two shook their heads: "My name is Ah Da, and his name is Ah Er."

what a name!Yiyou suddenly thought of her Erya, and felt extremely awkward.

Mu Ran never took his eyes off her. Seeing this, he hurriedly came out to explain: "This is the name given by Ren Yazi. The two of them were born on the fifth day of May. Some villages in the west believe that when the fifth day of May is too hot, twins are born. It's bad luck. So even boys are sold out early."

Hearing this, the two servants felt a little uneasy.They have also been sold a few times before, and most people would rather believe what they have than what they have, and return them directly to their teeth.Life in Renyazi was not easy. They had to do heavy work, and they had to be beaten at any time.

"However, Mr. Chen is from the south. His customs are just the opposite. The rice is ripe on the fifth day of May, which is an auspicious time for a good harvest."

Yiyou suddenly realized, so it was a kindness.

"One is good and the other is bad, but we in Yun County don't have much to say, just pretend that these opinions are not there. The names of Ah Da and Ah Er are really easy to mix up. Husband, I think it's better to follow their birthdays. Their elder brother's name is Dragon Boat Festival, how about my younger brother's name is Duanyang?"

"According to your."

The two of them finally came to their senses, and they walked over and knelt down: "Duanwu, Duanyang, I pay my respects to your lord and madam."

"Get up, the sun is not early, we have to go back quickly."

As soon as he finished talking about the Dragon Boat Festival, he turned around and led the carriage. Yiyou was puzzled, but Mu Ran continued to explain: "Your Excellency Chen got an excellent grade in the official department examination. When he was happy, he gave me a carriage."

Yiyou just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.Although she has talked about the scars, the inferiority complex that Mu Ran has accumulated over the years cannot be healed overnight.What she has to do now is to fully express her trust and dependence.

She believes that her husband is not such a short-sighted and profit-seeking person, since he has accepted this frankly, he must have made other plans.

The carriage is very spacious. Mu Ran tried the seat cushion and it was very soft.Reassuringly let the young daughter-in-law sit down, he explained: "I have already explained to Brother Liao about Mr. Chen."

Seeing that he wanted to continue talking, Yiyou hurriedly rubbed her head and stopped: "Is this the intention of the county magistrate to present the carriage?"

"Well, that's it. I know you're not used to it, but... I can't refuse too bluntly."

Seeing his sullen face, Yiyou raised the corners of his lips, and grabbed his big palm through the gap in the carriage: "Brother Mu never asked, how would he know that I don't like it?"

"You mean...?"

Mu Ran was a little unbelievable, Yiyou nodded, and rubbed the cocoon in his palm: "Brother Mu, you are busy at noon, and Madam also told me a lot of things. I am not the person who doesn't know how to adapt. If you accept it, you may violate the laws of the court, and you will be killed."

"Of course not, you don't have to worry too much."

"Well, madam has broken it open and explained it to me clearly. Don't want this kind of money with a clear conscience."

Mu Ran relaxed: "It's good if you can think like this. In fact, I don't need much of this carriage. Mother sells buns, so it's just right for me to use."

Yiyou was happy, but she was not confused: "I'd better wait a little longer, by the way, have any merchants come to your door these few days, seeking asylum?"

"Not much in the past few days, but there were quite a few in the past few months. I asked Mr. Chen and picked a few merchants who have always been honest. According to the rules of previous years, before the new year, the filial money should be sent up. "

The most thorny matter of money was easily solved, and the biggest heart trouble was eliminated, and Yiyou also had the interest of joking.

"Today Madam said a lot of things to me. She actually wanted to teach me what Qiao Jie had learned for more than ten years. While learning, I can see that this matter is not easy. Looking at the New Year, I am afraid it will be difficult. Embarrass Brother Mu."

Mu Ran happily accepted her complaint: "Actually, those are not difficult to remember, let me teach you a trick."

Yiyou stretched out her ears, and heard him say: "You can do whatever you want in this county, Mr. Chen can see that nothing will happen. There are also county captains in other counties, and the county captains have already married wives. At that time, you only need to pay more attention and learn from that lady. Don't worry, any action you make will look much better than them."

Yiyou nodded repeatedly at the beginning, until she heard his last sentence.Although it is a compliment, the meaning of teasing is very strong.

"It's not as good as you said."

Seeing that he wanted to continue, she hurriedly put her middle finger on his lips: "Don't say any more, this kind of Wang Po sells melons, Duan Wu and Duan Yang are listening outside, I'm afraid she is going to laugh at us."

Mu Ran complied, feeling a little moved when she saw her bright red face.Sticking out his tongue, he quickly licked her finger.

Yiyou hurriedly retracted her hand to her waist, and touched the prescription in her purse, she suddenly felt a little bit stuck.
