Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm
Chapter 81
Chapter 81
Yiyou clutched her purse, and the rice paper with prescriptions written on it made a unique crisp sound when it was folded.
Seeing her uneasy expression, Mu Ran quickly withdrew her tongue.After a while he opened his mouth, just about to ask her if she was unwell, when a childish voice came from outside the car.
"Sir, it's already here."
Mu Ran covered the curtain with his right hand, and opened a gap slightly.It is a straight road from Yonglefang, where the county government is located, to Yongpingfang, where I live. Duanwu and Duanyang drove the car very smoothly all the way, and now I have arrived at the entrance of Yongpingfang.
"Go straight in, the first one is."
The two stopped the car as they said, and looked at the "Mu Mansion" plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion.Although they didn't know each other well, they knew that the person who hung this kind of bronzing plaque must be the family of officials.
"Yiyou, let's get out of the car."
Mu Ran jumped down first, then passed the stool over, and stretched out a hand into the car.
Duan Wu and Duan Yang standing beside them felt rather embarrassed, this was originally their job as servants.Now that they are standing aside, it is inevitable that they will leave a lazy impression on Madam.After finally meeting a customer who seemed kind, the two wanted to stay for a long time.
Yiyou took his hand, but her heart beat even harder.They are different from ordinary couples. After the new year, Mu Ran is already in his twenties.If she waited until she was twenty to give birth, he would be nearly thirty by then.In ordinary families, a 30-year-old man must be a grandfather.Just thinking about it, she knew it wouldn't work.
Lowering her head emotionally, she went straight into the kitchen.Mu Ran was even more puzzled. He took out the sealed knife from behind and threw it to Duan Wu.
"Go first, put down the carriages and horses."
When Yiyou entered the kitchen, she had a little tail on her.Mu Yu looked at her eagerly, seeing that she was about to wash the vegetables, he hurriedly passed the water basin.She wanted to start a fire, and he handed her a bundle of firewood.Children at a young age do these housework in a disciplined manner.
"Master Xiancheng sent two servants, just outside, you go and get acquainted with them."
Mu Yu picked up the iron tongs and clamped the fiery red coals into the firewood pile.Yiyou glanced back, the tongs were half his height, and it was always dangerous to hold them.
"You are still young, don't touch these things. Listen to your sister-in-law and go see those two people first."
"it is good."
Mu Yu agreed, and Mu Ran didn't come in until he went out.Taking over Yiyou's job, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Just as Yiyou wanted to shake her head, she noticed the cautiousness in his eyes.Compared with his wooden appearance yesterday, this is already a huge improvement.If she continues to act like usual and prevaricates if she doesn't want to say it, I'm afraid he will shrink back again.
Gritting her teeth, she opened her purse and gave him the prescription: "This is from my wife."
Mu Ran took it, his brows were still stretched at the beginning, but the more he looked at it, the heavier his mind became.After a long illness, he became a good doctor. Although he was a strong man in the army, it was too easy to bump into each other after every battle.He has seen many wounded, and he also understands some superficial medical principles.
The black-bone chicken, safflower and other things are obviously invigorating blood and are the most nourishing for women.
"Ma'am, what do you mean?"
Yiyou has never been so difficult to make a decision like now. Although she has only been married for two days, she can feel that Mu Ran treats her well from the bottom of her heart.Ordinary people at his age would have a son now, but here he is....
"She didn't mean anything else, she just said... I am too young now to..."
How could Mu Ran not see her shame? He didn't think about anything else at the moment when he said what he said in the afternoon.
"It's not suitable for pregnancy, is it?"
Yiyou bit her lip: "Well, giving birth prematurely is not good for children."
Hearing that the little daughter-in-law was sure, Mu Ran couldn't bear the disappointment in his heart.Although he raised Mu Yu as his son, he still hoped to have a child of his own.After the little daughter-in-law fell asleep last night, he fantasized about the appearance of the two children.
If it's a brother, he must be as tall as he is, with his temper, and his eyebrows and eyes like a little daughter-in-law.If it is a sister, it is completely like a daughter-in-law.He is not Shen Fuxiang, the girl is more delicate, he can completely protect and spoil her.
Once this sign rises, I can't hold back anymore.Unexpectedly, only one day later, I was told to wait a few more years.
"Brother Mu, are you angry?"
Mu Ran shook his head and forced a smile: "You are indeed too thin now, it would be nice to raise it for a while longer."
Yiyou clutched her purse, opened her mouth and then closed it, but in the end she really didn't want to let go.
"If not, I'll ask my mother when I get home tomorrow. We must be pretty much the same, and we'll talk about it later."
Mu Ran's eyes lit up suddenly when he thought of his mother-in-law who gave birth to a daughter-in-law at the age of sixteen or seventeen.Adding some firewood to the fire, he couldn't hide the joy on his face: "That's fine."
"kindness."
Yiyou couldn't hold it anymore, how could the two of them talk about such a private topic at noon.
"I'll go out first."
Running out in a hurry, she covered her face with her hands and watched a young man standing by the wall chopping wood.The other person disassembled the carriage, led the horse into the shed, and put the carriage on the other side.
Mu Yu picked up the broken firewood and asked curiously, "Which one of you is the elder brother?"
Yiyou is also curious, the twins are alike, and the clothes on both of them are also the same, so at first glance it is hard to tell them apart.But she took a closer look, the man chopping wood was a little thin, he must be the younger brother?
"I'm brother."
Unexpected answer, Mu Yu was also a little stunned: "It is not said that the elder brother is older than the younger brother."
Yiyou also went up to listen, and soon she understood.It turned out that the two brothers had depended on each other since childhood, and lived under Ren Yazi.In order to protect my younger brother, the Dragon Boat Festival has always been frugal, and try to get ahead of everything.If he can't keep up for a long time, he will naturally not gain weight.
"It's all right now, as long as you follow closely, Mu Yu will not be too harsh."
Mu Yu nodded: "Changsheng is also a good boy."
For the first time, the two brothers showed a comfortable smile, which was different from the one that was deliberately pulled out just now. At this time, the smile seemed to take off a thick layer of winter clothes, revealing a sense of truth from the inside out.
"I think you two will live in the West Wing first, Mu Yu, don't you have a back room behind your study, just give it to them."
Arrangements were made for the two of them to stay, and Mu Ran also cooked meals over there.The shadow from just now still lingers, and he still can't raise his mind at this moment.Yiyou wanted to repent a few times, but she still swallowed the words.This move is not just for her, it is also for her long-term future.
After clearing away the dishes, Mu Ran entered the room and asked her for some copper coins.
There were only two people in the room, and Yiyou stopped holding it: "Husband, are you still angry?"
Mu Ran shook his head: "I'm not angry. After all, as long as we play well, there will always be children. I just can't turn the corner for a while, and I'll just sleep when it gets dark."
When he said this, Yiyou naturally believed it all.Standing up, she wrapped her jade arms around his neck, hanging on him.
"It's good if you don't get angry, my husband. With a cold face just now, I even missed half a bowl of rice."
Mu Ran's expression softened: "Are you hungry, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles again?"
"I'm not very hungry. Now I stay in the house all day, and my body doesn't work. If I eat as much as before, I'm afraid I will soon become fat like a piglet, and my husband will hate it when he sees it."
At the end, she even reached out and drew a few circles on his chest.
Mu Ran looked down at the little daughter-in-law in her arms, her appearance was flawless.Further down, a jade body is wrapped in the tightly stitched cotton robe.Except for him, no one can feel that kind of fairy-like beauty.Now that she is soft, her eyes are full of expectations that almost melt his heart, so there is nothing he can't agree to.
Smiling comfortably, he brought his little daughter-in-law to the kang: "Even if you are fat, you look better than ordinary people. Give me a few hundred copper coins, and I have to buy wine."
"Drinking wine? Could it be that husband, you want to drink away your worries?"
"Where do you want to go? Let's go to see mother tomorrow, so we can't be empty-handed. Taking advantage of this early morning, I'll go get some wine and buy two chickens along the way."
"There's not a single man over there, so there's no need for wine, just buy a chicken."
But Mu Ran shook his head firmly: "The rules are like this, even if you don't need it, if you seal it under the osmanthus tree and take it out when Changsheng gets married, it will be an old cellar."
Seeing how considerate he is, Yiyou's smile grew stronger: "Then it's all about husband."
It will take a long time for Mu Ran to go back and forth.
Yiyou continued to manage the account books, the Mu family only had two brothers, Mu Ran and Mu Yu, and the expenses couldn't be simpler.Based on her experience of selling buns to settle accounts, she quickly figured out the general idea.
The biggest expense of the entire Mu family is the expense paid to the uncle. The rest of Mu Yu's purchase of some rice cakes, and Mu Ran's occasional payment for his colleagues' drinks are purely mosquitoes' legs.With Mu Ran's current salary, plus the invisible income, and taking control of the purchases in her own hands, she will definitely earn at least more in this day.
In short, it can be summed up in two words: better.
She is certainly happy that her days are more comfortable, but she is not particularly happy.In the past six months, she has understood that the current situation is stable, as long as she is free, regardless of whether she is a scholar, farmer, businessman, or businessman, she will be able to live a good life if she works hard.
She picked up a pen and wrote on the white paper next to her twice, cutting off Uncle Mu's fortune at once, and making people unable to say anything, she had to think about it.
Yiyou, who hastily switched from physical labor to mental labor, is still a little uncomfortable, but at the moment she is trying hard to integrate into the identity of an official wife.
After thinking about it for a while, she had no idea, Mu Yu's crisp counting sound came from outside the window, she looked up, Duan Wu and Duan Yang stretched out the hemp rope used to tie the horse, each pulled one end, and jumped the big rope for Mu Yu.Mu Yu's body is flexible, and he has reached a hundred in a while.
Listen carefully, and he didn't make any mistakes until two hundred.As usual, he could only count to one hundred.
Resting her chin, she was thoughtful.Changsheng couldn't concentrate on learning, so if he could play and learn, it would be a good idea.
While thinking that she also walked into the west kitchen, she would always bring some pancakes when she came back tomorrow.Usually this item is prepared by her parents-in-law, but she has no parents-in-law. Since the Mu family saw Mu Ran's tough attitude on the day they got married, they haven't shown up in the past two days.No one to help, she can only do it herself.
And face Mu Yu came in to help her get angry.Just as Yiyou wanted him to go out and rest, Mu Ran came in.
He had some chicken feathers on his hands, and he wanted to eat the chicken just as he put it down.
"You put it down, or I will come."
Yiyou shook her head: "Brother Mu, this thing is easy for me."
Mu Ran is used to her softly calling him "husband" when there is no one around, and outside is just the usual "Brother Mu".Touching the face on the tip of her nose, he felt a little embarrassed: "It's all me, and no one is helping you."
Yi Youxin said that instead of being controlled by a lot of elders every day, getting up early to greet her in-laws, and then following behind her mother-in-law to set rules, she prefers to do some light and heavy tasks now, and be free all day long.
But she can only bury these words in her heart, even though Mu Ran's parents have passed away, it doesn't mean that all his feelings for the Mu family have been wiped out.
"This work is not tiring, so how about I bake it for you?"
The two of them were so busy, and by the time they were ready, it was already dinner time.
When it was dark and entered the bedroom, Yiyou took out another purse: "I sorted out the account books in the afternoon and thought about it. Brother Mu is now an official, so he must have money on him."
Mu Ran took it and pulled out the bank note inside.Issued by the Four Seas Bank, the denomination is 50 taels of silver.This amount of money is enough for a large family to live for several years, it is really not a small sum.
Mu Ran returned the banknote: "Forget it, the boys in the county government are not good at it. When they see the banknote, they will definitely go to Lichun Garden."
"Lichun Garden?"
"It's the one over there..."
Yiyou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Have you been there?"
Mu Ran also realized something was wrong: "I just went to drink, I didn't..."
"When you go there, who will believe that you just drink. Even if you drink, most people drink flower wine."
While talking, she thought of Mu Ran's endless tricks last night, and thought that he was a good person, but she didn't expect that he still couldn't pass the level of "sex".
"Baby, I really didn't... I swear!"
Yiyou couldn't believe him for a while: "Come here, tell me about the girls you have met."
Mu Ran didn't want to hide it from her: "Hua Niang is standing downstairs, I can see her, but I can't report her name. Darling, don't be angry."
Can Yiyou not be angry?She was going to explode!
"It's useless for me to discuss it with you. If you want a child, just let the flower girl give birth. No, you can't be so cheap. Return the banknote to me, and I will take it to the store tomorrow."
"I'll give you all."
Mu Ran was in a hurry, he had already told the truth.Besides, the gang of people in the county government talked about things, which one didn't go to Hualou.He has been very restrained and has never only drank.
Yiyou put the banknote into her bosom: "I don't know why you bought Fanghuazhai's oil ointment and face powder, maybe which flower girl taught you."
"No...it was given by the general's wife when we were in the capital. She said that we rough guys must have something we can show off to please the girls."
Yiyou has a bad temper, her temper is like a summer rainstorm, it comes and goes quickly.
This will return rationally, she asked: "How many boxes were given?"
"Only five boxes, two boxes for my mother, and the remaining two boxes for our bedroom, and one box for Mu Yu's side."
"Who is there for another box?"
"The remaining box is the jasmine fragrance..."
"Jasmine fragrance? Oh..." Yiyou finally remembered that she wrapped it up and put it in the cage in the morning.
It seems that this is really her misunderstanding, but she really can't do it if she pulls her face down and speaks softly.Turning her back, she wrapped the quilt in her arms, and said in a low voice: "I see, I'll take a rest before it's too late."
"Hey, I'll take a shower and go to sleep right away."
Mu Ran blew out the lamp, and not long after, the sound of well water came from the courtyard.The sound of the water stopped, the door of the bedroom opened, and after a while, Mu Ran climbed onto the kang and firmly guarded his side.
"Honey, are you still angry?"
In the dark night, Yiyou only felt the warmth from his mouth spread to this side through the half-wall distance between the two of them. He had just taken a cold shower, but there was no air-conditioning. He must have warmed himself up before coming in.
"Are you still going in the future?"
Mu Ran frowned, of course he understood that the young daughter-in-law rejected Li Chunyuan very much.
"I don't want to go, but sometimes, I have to go."
Yiyou also understands that Mu Ran is not the emperor's old man, and the whole world has to accommodate him.Sometimes, such as calling from the top, he had to go.She understands, but it doesn't mean that she can accept that her husband and son-in-law, who are newly married for two days, will often visit the flower house in the future.
"Then go ahead and ignore me."
Mu Ran compared his heart with his heart, if the little daughter-in-law went to a small restaurant every day, even if it was just for drinking, how would he react?
At that time, he would definitely tie her back himself, huddled on the kang, and let her give birth to ten or eight children for him, and then the children and grandchildren would quarrel, and she would no longer have the energy to think about other things.
"I'm not going."
Yiyou turned around with a grunt: "Aren't you going?"
"Well, in the future, I will never enter a romantic place like Lichunyuan again."
He didn't play sloppy like others, while saying that he would not enter Lichunyuan, and went to Yihongyuan another day.He meant that he would never step into all the lands of love and moon in the future.
"If someone else, such as Lord Zhizhou calls you, what should I do?"
Mu Ran frowned: "Then tell the truth, I will say that my family is strict."
How embarrassing!Curling her lips, Yi Youjue felt that she was really hypocritical.Just now I was afraid that he would go, but now I am afraid that he will not go.Seeing that he took it seriously, she couldn't help being even more anxious.
"I can't say that, we have to think of other reasons. Let me think..."
Mu Ran propped his arms and looked at the worried face of the little daughter-in-law.Even if she is capricious, he also understands that all this is because she values him.She was reluctant to let him go, but also afraid that he would lose face.But in his heart, it was clear: compared to a young daughter-in-law, face is nothing.
"that's it!"
Yiyou's eyes lit up: "Husband just said, you are allergic to face powder, I will dress more plainly, without putting on makeup or powder."
"But I..." Mu Ran didn't dare to continue, he was afraid of lighting the powder keg again.
"Nowadays is different from the past. How can anyone's affairs remain the same? Let's do a fake show, and you will get pimples all over your body when you smell the scent of incense powder. How about it?"
"How did this pimple start?"
Yiyou smiled easily: "Look at me."
After she finished speaking, she pulled up her shoes, lit the oil lamp, picked up the eyebrow pencil on the dowry, and drew a few deep and light strokes, and then put on some makeup and rouge.
"Husband, let's see."
Mu Ran raised his eyes, and the little daughter-in-law who was originally juicy is now covered with pimples on the left side of her face.That appearance is somewhat similar to chicken pox.Compared with the smooth right half, the left half stands out even more.
"Didn't you say that Fendai hurts the skin, wipe it off quickly."
Yiyou sticks out her tongue, Mu Ran clearly thinks she is ugly, and insists on pulling up the grand banner.Such an honest person, with such a quick mind when meeting her, obviously has a heart for her.
I wiped my face with the hot water he brought over, and it was clean in two or three strokes.As an aunt, pretending to be sick is an essential skill.Since rebirth, except for avoiding being a maid, this is the second time she has put on makeup.This time, she is glad that she has learned such a skill.
When the little daughter-in-law's face recovered, Mu Ran took her to the kang with a sigh of relief, and the two of them were wrapped in a quilt.
"It's up to you, it's getting late, go to sleep."
Yiyou didn't hide anymore, seeing that he didn't intend to make a fuss, she also moved closer, and fell into a deep sleep against her warm chest.
Three days back, Yiyou woke up early.Looking at the bright sky outside the window, and listening to the two brothers talking in a low voice in the courtyard, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Before she got married, Mrs. Li had taught her that a new daughter-in-law should be diligent, especially in the first half of the year, and she should also put on a show.But the way she behaved for two days after her marriage was not compatible with diligence.
When Mu Ran came in with hot water, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting on the kang with a mournful face.
"But you're not feeling well? Come and wash your face."
After washing the cloth, he wiped it on her face carefully.Yiyou took it mechanically, adding another regret in her heart: she didn't even wash her face anymore.
"Husband, am I too tired?"
There was a pleasant low smile in Mu Ran's chest: "That's natural."
Yiyou covered her face with a cloth towel: "No, I have to go down and make breakfast."
Mu Ran fiddled with her messy hair, only to feel that the little daughter-in-law in front of her was like the little tabby cat with a ball of string in Yunling Village, and there was nothing that could not be pitied.
"I think your tired and lazy look is better. There are not many things at home. If you are too capable, what use is it to be a husband? A man should take more responsibility."
Yiyou followed his words and thought about it: marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, what Mu Ran said makes sense.
"Too."
She didn't think about it until Mu Ran went down with the basin.She doesn't have to do all of it, but it doesn't mean she doesn't do anything at all, and just makes two accounts all day long!The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. After only three days of marriage, she was easily entangled by Mu Ran.
It seems that she is getting more and more stupid?
Covering her head, she untied all the buns she had braided just now.
Annoyed for a long time, the five of them went to Shen's house together.When she came to the door, she suddenly remembered another thing.
If Mrs. Li knew how tired and lazy she was, would she hate iron for being weak and teach her a lesson?Thinking of the scene where Mrs. Li taught others, she shuddered.
"Why don't you go?"
"Brother Mu, I... Forget it, I'll knock on the door."
Before she stepped forward, the middle door was already wide open.Seeing them, Ms. Liu quickly smiled: "I just said, Miss and Uncle must come early today. The door will open early, just in time."
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Li came out of the door, staring at Yiyou, as if she wanted to see a hole in her.God knows how much she missed her daughter these two days. Although the two families are close, she couldn't go there because of the rules.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Come in, it's cold outside."
Hearing the liberation signal, Mu Yu, who couldn't hold back, hurried inside.Before he could cross the threshold, an asteroid rushed into the courtyard.Chang Sheng rushed over, but because he couldn't stop, he had to ski up to her.
"Sister, you are finally home, Changsheng misses you so much."
Mu Ran looked at his brother-in-law who was clinging to his daughter-in-law, his face turned dark.Stretching his hand behind him, he took out the knife he had made yesterday.
"Changsheng, this is the knife for you. Mother, the knife has been sealed, so it won't hurt anyone."
Unexpectedly, Changsheng huddled in Yiyou's arms, not going to pick up the knife anyway.Yiyou pulled him away: "Hurry up and pick him up, my sister is right here, I can't leave."
"En." Changsheng walked over slowly, hugged the sword with both hands, and retreated to his sister.
"Thank you, Brother Mu."
Mrs. Li talked about his head: "Now I want to call my brother-in-law. Brother Ran is really good, as soon as he arrives, what are you doing with all these things?"
Changsheng curled his lips: "He stole my sister, he is a bad person."
Yiyou couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.Mu Ran paid homage to Mrs. Li first, and then walked up to Chang Sheng: "From today onwards, you can see your sister whenever you come to my place to learn knives."
"Really, you can see your sister again, and you can learn knives?"
Mu Yu took him by the hand: "Of course, I can come to your house and stay with my aunt."
Yiyou also nodded: "It is indeed so."
Only then did Changsheng become happy, and he drew out the knife and waved it: "It's so heavy, brother-in-law, this is a real knife!"
Others only looked at him happy, but Mu Ran was very surprised.He knew the weight of this knife. When he was a beginner, he had to use both hands to swing it.But Changsheng is only six years old now, and he can barely move it with one hand.
He is a martial artist, and he knows that the way to practice martial arts is to drop ten times with one force.With great strength and good bones, even if the mind is clumsy, the kung fu is not far behind.Changsheng is like this now, take advantage of this age to practice hard, and you will be able to achieve something in the future.
"It's the knife I used, you practice with this one first. When you're done practicing, I'll give you a new knife."
"Brother-in-law is the best!"
Listening to him talking about his brother-in-law, the corners of Mu Ran's lips rose even more.Mrs. Li led several people into the house, only then noticed Duan Wu and Duan Yang.
"Duan Wu is an older brother, with great strength, so I put Chang Sheng next to him to practice swords with him, and usually help you."
Mrs. Li has also heard about the life experiences of the two brothers, so she doesn't have much respect for ghosts and gods.In the past few years, I worshiped God according to the time and festivals, no matter how hard life is, it is still hard.In the past six months, she was too busy to worship God, the days passed and the better.So this person is still making progress on his own. God has given you the opportunity to live and change. If you insist on standing still, you can’t blame anyone for your poor life.
"This is really in the honor of Brother Ran. Our whole family is here to thank you."
After Li Shi finished speaking, she arched her hands, and Yiyou hurriedly grabbed her waist that was about to bend: "Mother, what are you doing, if you want to thank me, I will thank you."
Mu Ran has already avoided it, he will definitely not let Mrs. Li salute him: "Mother, we are a family, so there is no need to see outsiders like this."
Duan Wu, who was named, followed Chang Sheng. Although he was transferred, he did not complain at all.The two families are so close, he and his younger brother have not been separated.
After being polite, Mu Ran quickly offered to teach the two of them how to use swords.
Today is the day to go to the market, but now that there is Dragon Boat Festival, they will do the packing of the buns.When they were free, the mother and daughter went into the bedroom together.
As soon as he entered the door, Li's voice trembled: "How are you doing these days?"
Yiyou hurriedly hugged her: "Mother, why do you want to do this? I'm very good. If you tell the truth, you will scold me if you don't keep it."
Mrs. Li took her hand, looked at her carefully, and after confirming that she was really happy, Gao Xuan's heart was relieved.
"Brother Ran, I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that if your stubborn temper breaks out again, something will happen to you."
Yiyou hurriedly shook her head, and casually recounted the events of the past two days: "I was thinking about my mother's words, and I wanted to get up early, but Brother Mu got up earlier than me. I wanted to cook, so he drove me away. I went out of the kitchen to do it myself; I wanted to do laundry, but he thought it was cold outside and forced me to warm up in the room; even if I did some needlework, he only said that the dark night hurts my eyes. By the way, the needlework is a lost double-sided embroidery. , madam tells you to be careful."
Seeing her proud appearance, Mrs. Li finally let go of her heart: "I really didn't expect that aunt to have such a background. You have already married, and mother doesn't have to do it anymore. You can rest assured about this. As for you, mother Seeing that you are going to die lazy on the kang in your life."
It's fine if she's not angry, she's most afraid of Li's losing her temper: she won't whine like ordinary village women, she will only blame herself for not teaching her children well.That appearance is even more worrying than cursing directly.
"Isn't it all because the mother's eyes are so bright that she wakes up her daughter and marries Brother Mu?"
Seeing her daughter's happiness, Li Shi was also happy: "What my mother told you a few months ago is the way of getting along between ordinary husband and wife. But brother is different. He must be very satisfied with you, so you don't have to be that virtuous Attitude. Look at the virtuous old woman in the storybook, how many days are happy. Men want to have wives and concubines. Of course they enjoy happiness, but what about women? They don’t think about themselves, they have to think about their own children. think."
Yiyou kept every sentence in her heart, Li Shi's words made sense.
"I'll just follow my mother's advice. I'll listen to whatever he says. Occasionally I don't want to hear something, and I don't force it. If I say it slowly, Brother Mu will usually respond."
"That's fine, that's fine."
The rosiness of Li's eye sockets faded, Yi You saw this before she spoke about her childbirth.
"Mother, I know Brother Mu understands, but he's still a little unhappy."
Before she could finish speaking, Li's brain suddenly popped up: "If only you could be happy? Thankfully, brother is a good person. If this were placed in an ordinary official's house, you would be thrown into limbo just two days after you got married. You will survive the next few decades."
Yiyou was afraid after thinking about it for a while, if Mu Ran felt that she didn't want to bear him a child, he would find two concubines back in a fit of anger.Worst of all, that concubine is like Aunt Mei of Zhizhou Prefecture. She has a backstage and a concubine's eldest son. She is almost a half-lawful wife.
Fortunately, Mu Ran is very satisfied with her, and he can't get too angry.
"But look at my appearance, can the child born be healthy?"
Mrs. Li looked at her slender waist and pelvis, thinking of the crimes she suffered back then.Although the mother taught her daughter to serve her uncle well, she wanted to make her live comfortably in her heart.
"Since it's been discussed, you can take care of yourself for two years. But in my opinion, it doesn't have to be twenty, sixteen or seventeen is fine."
Yiyou thought about her own age: "That is, the next year?"
"Well, you can wait, but Brother Ran's age is right there. Although your in-laws have passed away, the Mu family is still alive. Brother Ran can push away one cousin now, and can he push away all the other cousins in the future?"
"Brother Mu won't, he promised me that he will not enter the Land of Love and Moon in the future."
"And other things?"
"Of course, mother, not all men in this world are feminine. Besides, even if he is good, is it possible that there are still people who are more attractive than me?"
Mrs. Li looked at her angrily: "You just show off there, but it seems that Brother Ran is really a good man. Mother, you take advantage of the newlyweds to enclose his heart. After a year or two of pregnancy, He has a certainty, so he won't accept Xiaoxing."
"Then I will listen to my mother."
The mother and daughter reached an agreement, and just about to cook, Bi Tao hurried in: "Madam, miss, the fourth master of the Shen family is here."
Shen Fuxiang!Mrs. Li was so angry that he didn't show up when they got married, but now that he's returning home in three dynasties, he rushed to receive the big gift from his son-in-law?Yiyou was also puzzled.
"Mom, let's go out together."
When the mother and daughter walked to the door arm in arm, Yiyou couldn't believe her eyes.
Shen Fuxiang she met a few months ago, although he was so tired that he hunched over, but at least he looked like he was in his 40s or [-]s.Now he is standing there with a big burden on his back, wearing a patched robe, his hair is more than half gray, his forehead is wrinkled and mottled, he is even older than the second uncle.
Seeing the two, he looked excited: "Yunniang, Erya."
"Since you're here, let's come in."
Yiyou followed behind, ordered Duan Wu to pick up Mu Ran's new clothes, and then followed inside.
"Three days ago, I wanted to come with my second aunt, but my mother fell ill, and the family couldn't live without her. Now when she wakes up, I rushed over."
"En." Li replied indifferently, and Shen Fuxiang untied the big burden on his back, revealing a finely carved wooden box.The wooden box is made of aged pine wood, and six peonies of different shapes are carved along the annual rings.
"Erya, don't you like peonies the most? Dad made this for you. If you bring it, it's considered an object."
Yiyou will not be moved anymore, Shen Fuxiang really cares about her and Li Shi.But what he cares most about is always the hard-working old lady Shen in Yunlin Village.The two sides are hostile, and there is always a trade-off.
"Thank you so much. I see that your clothes are also old. Mu Ran has a few unopened cotton jackets. You can wear them for a new year when you get them."
Shen Fuxiang hurriedly agreed, and looked at Li Shi expectantly, only to see her drooping her eyes and drinking tea.Looking carefully, the fine porcelain teacup in her hand is even more beautiful than the set that the second brother was hiding earlier.
After all, it is different, polite girl, rich Yunniang.In just half a year, they are already people from two worlds.
Sadly putting on a new cotton robe, Mu Ran also came over, bowed his hands politely, and took out a pipe from his purse.Shen Fuxiang accepted it tremblingly, looking at the wealthy family, he almost ran away in despair.
Yiyou shook her head: "Why should he do this?"
(End of this chapter)
Yiyou clutched her purse, and the rice paper with prescriptions written on it made a unique crisp sound when it was folded.
Seeing her uneasy expression, Mu Ran quickly withdrew her tongue.After a while he opened his mouth, just about to ask her if she was unwell, when a childish voice came from outside the car.
"Sir, it's already here."
Mu Ran covered the curtain with his right hand, and opened a gap slightly.It is a straight road from Yonglefang, where the county government is located, to Yongpingfang, where I live. Duanwu and Duanyang drove the car very smoothly all the way, and now I have arrived at the entrance of Yongpingfang.
"Go straight in, the first one is."
The two stopped the car as they said, and looked at the "Mu Mansion" plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion.Although they didn't know each other well, they knew that the person who hung this kind of bronzing plaque must be the family of officials.
"Yiyou, let's get out of the car."
Mu Ran jumped down first, then passed the stool over, and stretched out a hand into the car.
Duan Wu and Duan Yang standing beside them felt rather embarrassed, this was originally their job as servants.Now that they are standing aside, it is inevitable that they will leave a lazy impression on Madam.After finally meeting a customer who seemed kind, the two wanted to stay for a long time.
Yiyou took his hand, but her heart beat even harder.They are different from ordinary couples. After the new year, Mu Ran is already in his twenties.If she waited until she was twenty to give birth, he would be nearly thirty by then.In ordinary families, a 30-year-old man must be a grandfather.Just thinking about it, she knew it wouldn't work.
Lowering her head emotionally, she went straight into the kitchen.Mu Ran was even more puzzled. He took out the sealed knife from behind and threw it to Duan Wu.
"Go first, put down the carriages and horses."
When Yiyou entered the kitchen, she had a little tail on her.Mu Yu looked at her eagerly, seeing that she was about to wash the vegetables, he hurriedly passed the water basin.She wanted to start a fire, and he handed her a bundle of firewood.Children at a young age do these housework in a disciplined manner.
"Master Xiancheng sent two servants, just outside, you go and get acquainted with them."
Mu Yu picked up the iron tongs and clamped the fiery red coals into the firewood pile.Yiyou glanced back, the tongs were half his height, and it was always dangerous to hold them.
"You are still young, don't touch these things. Listen to your sister-in-law and go see those two people first."
"it is good."
Mu Yu agreed, and Mu Ran didn't come in until he went out.Taking over Yiyou's job, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Just as Yiyou wanted to shake her head, she noticed the cautiousness in his eyes.Compared with his wooden appearance yesterday, this is already a huge improvement.If she continues to act like usual and prevaricates if she doesn't want to say it, I'm afraid he will shrink back again.
Gritting her teeth, she opened her purse and gave him the prescription: "This is from my wife."
Mu Ran took it, his brows were still stretched at the beginning, but the more he looked at it, the heavier his mind became.After a long illness, he became a good doctor. Although he was a strong man in the army, it was too easy to bump into each other after every battle.He has seen many wounded, and he also understands some superficial medical principles.
The black-bone chicken, safflower and other things are obviously invigorating blood and are the most nourishing for women.
"Ma'am, what do you mean?"
Yiyou has never been so difficult to make a decision like now. Although she has only been married for two days, she can feel that Mu Ran treats her well from the bottom of her heart.Ordinary people at his age would have a son now, but here he is....
"She didn't mean anything else, she just said... I am too young now to..."
How could Mu Ran not see her shame? He didn't think about anything else at the moment when he said what he said in the afternoon.
"It's not suitable for pregnancy, is it?"
Yiyou bit her lip: "Well, giving birth prematurely is not good for children."
Hearing that the little daughter-in-law was sure, Mu Ran couldn't bear the disappointment in his heart.Although he raised Mu Yu as his son, he still hoped to have a child of his own.After the little daughter-in-law fell asleep last night, he fantasized about the appearance of the two children.
If it's a brother, he must be as tall as he is, with his temper, and his eyebrows and eyes like a little daughter-in-law.If it is a sister, it is completely like a daughter-in-law.He is not Shen Fuxiang, the girl is more delicate, he can completely protect and spoil her.
Once this sign rises, I can't hold back anymore.Unexpectedly, only one day later, I was told to wait a few more years.
"Brother Mu, are you angry?"
Mu Ran shook his head and forced a smile: "You are indeed too thin now, it would be nice to raise it for a while longer."
Yiyou clutched her purse, opened her mouth and then closed it, but in the end she really didn't want to let go.
"If not, I'll ask my mother when I get home tomorrow. We must be pretty much the same, and we'll talk about it later."
Mu Ran's eyes lit up suddenly when he thought of his mother-in-law who gave birth to a daughter-in-law at the age of sixteen or seventeen.Adding some firewood to the fire, he couldn't hide the joy on his face: "That's fine."
"kindness."
Yiyou couldn't hold it anymore, how could the two of them talk about such a private topic at noon.
"I'll go out first."
Running out in a hurry, she covered her face with her hands and watched a young man standing by the wall chopping wood.The other person disassembled the carriage, led the horse into the shed, and put the carriage on the other side.
Mu Yu picked up the broken firewood and asked curiously, "Which one of you is the elder brother?"
Yiyou is also curious, the twins are alike, and the clothes on both of them are also the same, so at first glance it is hard to tell them apart.But she took a closer look, the man chopping wood was a little thin, he must be the younger brother?
"I'm brother."
Unexpected answer, Mu Yu was also a little stunned: "It is not said that the elder brother is older than the younger brother."
Yiyou also went up to listen, and soon she understood.It turned out that the two brothers had depended on each other since childhood, and lived under Ren Yazi.In order to protect my younger brother, the Dragon Boat Festival has always been frugal, and try to get ahead of everything.If he can't keep up for a long time, he will naturally not gain weight.
"It's all right now, as long as you follow closely, Mu Yu will not be too harsh."
Mu Yu nodded: "Changsheng is also a good boy."
For the first time, the two brothers showed a comfortable smile, which was different from the one that was deliberately pulled out just now. At this time, the smile seemed to take off a thick layer of winter clothes, revealing a sense of truth from the inside out.
"I think you two will live in the West Wing first, Mu Yu, don't you have a back room behind your study, just give it to them."
Arrangements were made for the two of them to stay, and Mu Ran also cooked meals over there.The shadow from just now still lingers, and he still can't raise his mind at this moment.Yiyou wanted to repent a few times, but she still swallowed the words.This move is not just for her, it is also for her long-term future.
After clearing away the dishes, Mu Ran entered the room and asked her for some copper coins.
There were only two people in the room, and Yiyou stopped holding it: "Husband, are you still angry?"
Mu Ran shook his head: "I'm not angry. After all, as long as we play well, there will always be children. I just can't turn the corner for a while, and I'll just sleep when it gets dark."
When he said this, Yiyou naturally believed it all.Standing up, she wrapped her jade arms around his neck, hanging on him.
"It's good if you don't get angry, my husband. With a cold face just now, I even missed half a bowl of rice."
Mu Ran's expression softened: "Are you hungry, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles again?"
"I'm not very hungry. Now I stay in the house all day, and my body doesn't work. If I eat as much as before, I'm afraid I will soon become fat like a piglet, and my husband will hate it when he sees it."
At the end, she even reached out and drew a few circles on his chest.
Mu Ran looked down at the little daughter-in-law in her arms, her appearance was flawless.Further down, a jade body is wrapped in the tightly stitched cotton robe.Except for him, no one can feel that kind of fairy-like beauty.Now that she is soft, her eyes are full of expectations that almost melt his heart, so there is nothing he can't agree to.
Smiling comfortably, he brought his little daughter-in-law to the kang: "Even if you are fat, you look better than ordinary people. Give me a few hundred copper coins, and I have to buy wine."
"Drinking wine? Could it be that husband, you want to drink away your worries?"
"Where do you want to go? Let's go to see mother tomorrow, so we can't be empty-handed. Taking advantage of this early morning, I'll go get some wine and buy two chickens along the way."
"There's not a single man over there, so there's no need for wine, just buy a chicken."
But Mu Ran shook his head firmly: "The rules are like this, even if you don't need it, if you seal it under the osmanthus tree and take it out when Changsheng gets married, it will be an old cellar."
Seeing how considerate he is, Yiyou's smile grew stronger: "Then it's all about husband."
It will take a long time for Mu Ran to go back and forth.
Yiyou continued to manage the account books, the Mu family only had two brothers, Mu Ran and Mu Yu, and the expenses couldn't be simpler.Based on her experience of selling buns to settle accounts, she quickly figured out the general idea.
The biggest expense of the entire Mu family is the expense paid to the uncle. The rest of Mu Yu's purchase of some rice cakes, and Mu Ran's occasional payment for his colleagues' drinks are purely mosquitoes' legs.With Mu Ran's current salary, plus the invisible income, and taking control of the purchases in her own hands, she will definitely earn at least more in this day.
In short, it can be summed up in two words: better.
She is certainly happy that her days are more comfortable, but she is not particularly happy.In the past six months, she has understood that the current situation is stable, as long as she is free, regardless of whether she is a scholar, farmer, businessman, or businessman, she will be able to live a good life if she works hard.
She picked up a pen and wrote on the white paper next to her twice, cutting off Uncle Mu's fortune at once, and making people unable to say anything, she had to think about it.
Yiyou, who hastily switched from physical labor to mental labor, is still a little uncomfortable, but at the moment she is trying hard to integrate into the identity of an official wife.
After thinking about it for a while, she had no idea, Mu Yu's crisp counting sound came from outside the window, she looked up, Duan Wu and Duan Yang stretched out the hemp rope used to tie the horse, each pulled one end, and jumped the big rope for Mu Yu.Mu Yu's body is flexible, and he has reached a hundred in a while.
Listen carefully, and he didn't make any mistakes until two hundred.As usual, he could only count to one hundred.
Resting her chin, she was thoughtful.Changsheng couldn't concentrate on learning, so if he could play and learn, it would be a good idea.
While thinking that she also walked into the west kitchen, she would always bring some pancakes when she came back tomorrow.Usually this item is prepared by her parents-in-law, but she has no parents-in-law. Since the Mu family saw Mu Ran's tough attitude on the day they got married, they haven't shown up in the past two days.No one to help, she can only do it herself.
And face Mu Yu came in to help her get angry.Just as Yiyou wanted him to go out and rest, Mu Ran came in.
He had some chicken feathers on his hands, and he wanted to eat the chicken just as he put it down.
"You put it down, or I will come."
Yiyou shook her head: "Brother Mu, this thing is easy for me."
Mu Ran is used to her softly calling him "husband" when there is no one around, and outside is just the usual "Brother Mu".Touching the face on the tip of her nose, he felt a little embarrassed: "It's all me, and no one is helping you."
Yi Youxin said that instead of being controlled by a lot of elders every day, getting up early to greet her in-laws, and then following behind her mother-in-law to set rules, she prefers to do some light and heavy tasks now, and be free all day long.
But she can only bury these words in her heart, even though Mu Ran's parents have passed away, it doesn't mean that all his feelings for the Mu family have been wiped out.
"This work is not tiring, so how about I bake it for you?"
The two of them were so busy, and by the time they were ready, it was already dinner time.
When it was dark and entered the bedroom, Yiyou took out another purse: "I sorted out the account books in the afternoon and thought about it. Brother Mu is now an official, so he must have money on him."
Mu Ran took it and pulled out the bank note inside.Issued by the Four Seas Bank, the denomination is 50 taels of silver.This amount of money is enough for a large family to live for several years, it is really not a small sum.
Mu Ran returned the banknote: "Forget it, the boys in the county government are not good at it. When they see the banknote, they will definitely go to Lichun Garden."
"Lichun Garden?"
"It's the one over there..."
Yiyou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Have you been there?"
Mu Ran also realized something was wrong: "I just went to drink, I didn't..."
"When you go there, who will believe that you just drink. Even if you drink, most people drink flower wine."
While talking, she thought of Mu Ran's endless tricks last night, and thought that he was a good person, but she didn't expect that he still couldn't pass the level of "sex".
"Baby, I really didn't... I swear!"
Yiyou couldn't believe him for a while: "Come here, tell me about the girls you have met."
Mu Ran didn't want to hide it from her: "Hua Niang is standing downstairs, I can see her, but I can't report her name. Darling, don't be angry."
Can Yiyou not be angry?She was going to explode!
"It's useless for me to discuss it with you. If you want a child, just let the flower girl give birth. No, you can't be so cheap. Return the banknote to me, and I will take it to the store tomorrow."
"I'll give you all."
Mu Ran was in a hurry, he had already told the truth.Besides, the gang of people in the county government talked about things, which one didn't go to Hualou.He has been very restrained and has never only drank.
Yiyou put the banknote into her bosom: "I don't know why you bought Fanghuazhai's oil ointment and face powder, maybe which flower girl taught you."
"No...it was given by the general's wife when we were in the capital. She said that we rough guys must have something we can show off to please the girls."
Yiyou has a bad temper, her temper is like a summer rainstorm, it comes and goes quickly.
This will return rationally, she asked: "How many boxes were given?"
"Only five boxes, two boxes for my mother, and the remaining two boxes for our bedroom, and one box for Mu Yu's side."
"Who is there for another box?"
"The remaining box is the jasmine fragrance..."
"Jasmine fragrance? Oh..." Yiyou finally remembered that she wrapped it up and put it in the cage in the morning.
It seems that this is really her misunderstanding, but she really can't do it if she pulls her face down and speaks softly.Turning her back, she wrapped the quilt in her arms, and said in a low voice: "I see, I'll take a rest before it's too late."
"Hey, I'll take a shower and go to sleep right away."
Mu Ran blew out the lamp, and not long after, the sound of well water came from the courtyard.The sound of the water stopped, the door of the bedroom opened, and after a while, Mu Ran climbed onto the kang and firmly guarded his side.
"Honey, are you still angry?"
In the dark night, Yiyou only felt the warmth from his mouth spread to this side through the half-wall distance between the two of them. He had just taken a cold shower, but there was no air-conditioning. He must have warmed himself up before coming in.
"Are you still going in the future?"
Mu Ran frowned, of course he understood that the young daughter-in-law rejected Li Chunyuan very much.
"I don't want to go, but sometimes, I have to go."
Yiyou also understands that Mu Ran is not the emperor's old man, and the whole world has to accommodate him.Sometimes, such as calling from the top, he had to go.She understands, but it doesn't mean that she can accept that her husband and son-in-law, who are newly married for two days, will often visit the flower house in the future.
"Then go ahead and ignore me."
Mu Ran compared his heart with his heart, if the little daughter-in-law went to a small restaurant every day, even if it was just for drinking, how would he react?
At that time, he would definitely tie her back himself, huddled on the kang, and let her give birth to ten or eight children for him, and then the children and grandchildren would quarrel, and she would no longer have the energy to think about other things.
"I'm not going."
Yiyou turned around with a grunt: "Aren't you going?"
"Well, in the future, I will never enter a romantic place like Lichunyuan again."
He didn't play sloppy like others, while saying that he would not enter Lichunyuan, and went to Yihongyuan another day.He meant that he would never step into all the lands of love and moon in the future.
"If someone else, such as Lord Zhizhou calls you, what should I do?"
Mu Ran frowned: "Then tell the truth, I will say that my family is strict."
How embarrassing!Curling her lips, Yi Youjue felt that she was really hypocritical.Just now I was afraid that he would go, but now I am afraid that he will not go.Seeing that he took it seriously, she couldn't help being even more anxious.
"I can't say that, we have to think of other reasons. Let me think..."
Mu Ran propped his arms and looked at the worried face of the little daughter-in-law.Even if she is capricious, he also understands that all this is because she values him.She was reluctant to let him go, but also afraid that he would lose face.But in his heart, it was clear: compared to a young daughter-in-law, face is nothing.
"that's it!"
Yiyou's eyes lit up: "Husband just said, you are allergic to face powder, I will dress more plainly, without putting on makeup or powder."
"But I..." Mu Ran didn't dare to continue, he was afraid of lighting the powder keg again.
"Nowadays is different from the past. How can anyone's affairs remain the same? Let's do a fake show, and you will get pimples all over your body when you smell the scent of incense powder. How about it?"
"How did this pimple start?"
Yiyou smiled easily: "Look at me."
After she finished speaking, she pulled up her shoes, lit the oil lamp, picked up the eyebrow pencil on the dowry, and drew a few deep and light strokes, and then put on some makeup and rouge.
"Husband, let's see."
Mu Ran raised his eyes, and the little daughter-in-law who was originally juicy is now covered with pimples on the left side of her face.That appearance is somewhat similar to chicken pox.Compared with the smooth right half, the left half stands out even more.
"Didn't you say that Fendai hurts the skin, wipe it off quickly."
Yiyou sticks out her tongue, Mu Ran clearly thinks she is ugly, and insists on pulling up the grand banner.Such an honest person, with such a quick mind when meeting her, obviously has a heart for her.
I wiped my face with the hot water he brought over, and it was clean in two or three strokes.As an aunt, pretending to be sick is an essential skill.Since rebirth, except for avoiding being a maid, this is the second time she has put on makeup.This time, she is glad that she has learned such a skill.
When the little daughter-in-law's face recovered, Mu Ran took her to the kang with a sigh of relief, and the two of them were wrapped in a quilt.
"It's up to you, it's getting late, go to sleep."
Yiyou didn't hide anymore, seeing that he didn't intend to make a fuss, she also moved closer, and fell into a deep sleep against her warm chest.
Three days back, Yiyou woke up early.Looking at the bright sky outside the window, and listening to the two brothers talking in a low voice in the courtyard, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Before she got married, Mrs. Li had taught her that a new daughter-in-law should be diligent, especially in the first half of the year, and she should also put on a show.But the way she behaved for two days after her marriage was not compatible with diligence.
When Mu Ran came in with hot water, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting on the kang with a mournful face.
"But you're not feeling well? Come and wash your face."
After washing the cloth, he wiped it on her face carefully.Yiyou took it mechanically, adding another regret in her heart: she didn't even wash her face anymore.
"Husband, am I too tired?"
There was a pleasant low smile in Mu Ran's chest: "That's natural."
Yiyou covered her face with a cloth towel: "No, I have to go down and make breakfast."
Mu Ran fiddled with her messy hair, only to feel that the little daughter-in-law in front of her was like the little tabby cat with a ball of string in Yunling Village, and there was nothing that could not be pitied.
"I think your tired and lazy look is better. There are not many things at home. If you are too capable, what use is it to be a husband? A man should take more responsibility."
Yiyou followed his words and thought about it: marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, what Mu Ran said makes sense.
"Too."
She didn't think about it until Mu Ran went down with the basin.She doesn't have to do all of it, but it doesn't mean she doesn't do anything at all, and just makes two accounts all day long!The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. After only three days of marriage, she was easily entangled by Mu Ran.
It seems that she is getting more and more stupid?
Covering her head, she untied all the buns she had braided just now.
Annoyed for a long time, the five of them went to Shen's house together.When she came to the door, she suddenly remembered another thing.
If Mrs. Li knew how tired and lazy she was, would she hate iron for being weak and teach her a lesson?Thinking of the scene where Mrs. Li taught others, she shuddered.
"Why don't you go?"
"Brother Mu, I... Forget it, I'll knock on the door."
Before she stepped forward, the middle door was already wide open.Seeing them, Ms. Liu quickly smiled: "I just said, Miss and Uncle must come early today. The door will open early, just in time."
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Li came out of the door, staring at Yiyou, as if she wanted to see a hole in her.God knows how much she missed her daughter these two days. Although the two families are close, she couldn't go there because of the rules.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Come in, it's cold outside."
Hearing the liberation signal, Mu Yu, who couldn't hold back, hurried inside.Before he could cross the threshold, an asteroid rushed into the courtyard.Chang Sheng rushed over, but because he couldn't stop, he had to ski up to her.
"Sister, you are finally home, Changsheng misses you so much."
Mu Ran looked at his brother-in-law who was clinging to his daughter-in-law, his face turned dark.Stretching his hand behind him, he took out the knife he had made yesterday.
"Changsheng, this is the knife for you. Mother, the knife has been sealed, so it won't hurt anyone."
Unexpectedly, Changsheng huddled in Yiyou's arms, not going to pick up the knife anyway.Yiyou pulled him away: "Hurry up and pick him up, my sister is right here, I can't leave."
"En." Changsheng walked over slowly, hugged the sword with both hands, and retreated to his sister.
"Thank you, Brother Mu."
Mrs. Li talked about his head: "Now I want to call my brother-in-law. Brother Ran is really good, as soon as he arrives, what are you doing with all these things?"
Changsheng curled his lips: "He stole my sister, he is a bad person."
Yiyou couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.Mu Ran paid homage to Mrs. Li first, and then walked up to Chang Sheng: "From today onwards, you can see your sister whenever you come to my place to learn knives."
"Really, you can see your sister again, and you can learn knives?"
Mu Yu took him by the hand: "Of course, I can come to your house and stay with my aunt."
Yiyou also nodded: "It is indeed so."
Only then did Changsheng become happy, and he drew out the knife and waved it: "It's so heavy, brother-in-law, this is a real knife!"
Others only looked at him happy, but Mu Ran was very surprised.He knew the weight of this knife. When he was a beginner, he had to use both hands to swing it.But Changsheng is only six years old now, and he can barely move it with one hand.
He is a martial artist, and he knows that the way to practice martial arts is to drop ten times with one force.With great strength and good bones, even if the mind is clumsy, the kung fu is not far behind.Changsheng is like this now, take advantage of this age to practice hard, and you will be able to achieve something in the future.
"It's the knife I used, you practice with this one first. When you're done practicing, I'll give you a new knife."
"Brother-in-law is the best!"
Listening to him talking about his brother-in-law, the corners of Mu Ran's lips rose even more.Mrs. Li led several people into the house, only then noticed Duan Wu and Duan Yang.
"Duan Wu is an older brother, with great strength, so I put Chang Sheng next to him to practice swords with him, and usually help you."
Mrs. Li has also heard about the life experiences of the two brothers, so she doesn't have much respect for ghosts and gods.In the past few years, I worshiped God according to the time and festivals, no matter how hard life is, it is still hard.In the past six months, she was too busy to worship God, the days passed and the better.So this person is still making progress on his own. God has given you the opportunity to live and change. If you insist on standing still, you can’t blame anyone for your poor life.
"This is really in the honor of Brother Ran. Our whole family is here to thank you."
After Li Shi finished speaking, she arched her hands, and Yiyou hurriedly grabbed her waist that was about to bend: "Mother, what are you doing, if you want to thank me, I will thank you."
Mu Ran has already avoided it, he will definitely not let Mrs. Li salute him: "Mother, we are a family, so there is no need to see outsiders like this."
Duan Wu, who was named, followed Chang Sheng. Although he was transferred, he did not complain at all.The two families are so close, he and his younger brother have not been separated.
After being polite, Mu Ran quickly offered to teach the two of them how to use swords.
Today is the day to go to the market, but now that there is Dragon Boat Festival, they will do the packing of the buns.When they were free, the mother and daughter went into the bedroom together.
As soon as he entered the door, Li's voice trembled: "How are you doing these days?"
Yiyou hurriedly hugged her: "Mother, why do you want to do this? I'm very good. If you tell the truth, you will scold me if you don't keep it."
Mrs. Li took her hand, looked at her carefully, and after confirming that she was really happy, Gao Xuan's heart was relieved.
"Brother Ran, I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that if your stubborn temper breaks out again, something will happen to you."
Yiyou hurriedly shook her head, and casually recounted the events of the past two days: "I was thinking about my mother's words, and I wanted to get up early, but Brother Mu got up earlier than me. I wanted to cook, so he drove me away. I went out of the kitchen to do it myself; I wanted to do laundry, but he thought it was cold outside and forced me to warm up in the room; even if I did some needlework, he only said that the dark night hurts my eyes. By the way, the needlework is a lost double-sided embroidery. , madam tells you to be careful."
Seeing her proud appearance, Mrs. Li finally let go of her heart: "I really didn't expect that aunt to have such a background. You have already married, and mother doesn't have to do it anymore. You can rest assured about this. As for you, mother Seeing that you are going to die lazy on the kang in your life."
It's fine if she's not angry, she's most afraid of Li's losing her temper: she won't whine like ordinary village women, she will only blame herself for not teaching her children well.That appearance is even more worrying than cursing directly.
"Isn't it all because the mother's eyes are so bright that she wakes up her daughter and marries Brother Mu?"
Seeing her daughter's happiness, Li Shi was also happy: "What my mother told you a few months ago is the way of getting along between ordinary husband and wife. But brother is different. He must be very satisfied with you, so you don't have to be that virtuous Attitude. Look at the virtuous old woman in the storybook, how many days are happy. Men want to have wives and concubines. Of course they enjoy happiness, but what about women? They don’t think about themselves, they have to think about their own children. think."
Yiyou kept every sentence in her heart, Li Shi's words made sense.
"I'll just follow my mother's advice. I'll listen to whatever he says. Occasionally I don't want to hear something, and I don't force it. If I say it slowly, Brother Mu will usually respond."
"That's fine, that's fine."
The rosiness of Li's eye sockets faded, Yi You saw this before she spoke about her childbirth.
"Mother, I know Brother Mu understands, but he's still a little unhappy."
Before she could finish speaking, Li's brain suddenly popped up: "If only you could be happy? Thankfully, brother is a good person. If this were placed in an ordinary official's house, you would be thrown into limbo just two days after you got married. You will survive the next few decades."
Yiyou was afraid after thinking about it for a while, if Mu Ran felt that she didn't want to bear him a child, he would find two concubines back in a fit of anger.Worst of all, that concubine is like Aunt Mei of Zhizhou Prefecture. She has a backstage and a concubine's eldest son. She is almost a half-lawful wife.
Fortunately, Mu Ran is very satisfied with her, and he can't get too angry.
"But look at my appearance, can the child born be healthy?"
Mrs. Li looked at her slender waist and pelvis, thinking of the crimes she suffered back then.Although the mother taught her daughter to serve her uncle well, she wanted to make her live comfortably in her heart.
"Since it's been discussed, you can take care of yourself for two years. But in my opinion, it doesn't have to be twenty, sixteen or seventeen is fine."
Yiyou thought about her own age: "That is, the next year?"
"Well, you can wait, but Brother Ran's age is right there. Although your in-laws have passed away, the Mu family is still alive. Brother Ran can push away one cousin now, and can he push away all the other cousins in the future?"
"Brother Mu won't, he promised me that he will not enter the Land of Love and Moon in the future."
"And other things?"
"Of course, mother, not all men in this world are feminine. Besides, even if he is good, is it possible that there are still people who are more attractive than me?"
Mrs. Li looked at her angrily: "You just show off there, but it seems that Brother Ran is really a good man. Mother, you take advantage of the newlyweds to enclose his heart. After a year or two of pregnancy, He has a certainty, so he won't accept Xiaoxing."
"Then I will listen to my mother."
The mother and daughter reached an agreement, and just about to cook, Bi Tao hurried in: "Madam, miss, the fourth master of the Shen family is here."
Shen Fuxiang!Mrs. Li was so angry that he didn't show up when they got married, but now that he's returning home in three dynasties, he rushed to receive the big gift from his son-in-law?Yiyou was also puzzled.
"Mom, let's go out together."
When the mother and daughter walked to the door arm in arm, Yiyou couldn't believe her eyes.
Shen Fuxiang she met a few months ago, although he was so tired that he hunched over, but at least he looked like he was in his 40s or [-]s.Now he is standing there with a big burden on his back, wearing a patched robe, his hair is more than half gray, his forehead is wrinkled and mottled, he is even older than the second uncle.
Seeing the two, he looked excited: "Yunniang, Erya."
"Since you're here, let's come in."
Yiyou followed behind, ordered Duan Wu to pick up Mu Ran's new clothes, and then followed inside.
"Three days ago, I wanted to come with my second aunt, but my mother fell ill, and the family couldn't live without her. Now when she wakes up, I rushed over."
"En." Li replied indifferently, and Shen Fuxiang untied the big burden on his back, revealing a finely carved wooden box.The wooden box is made of aged pine wood, and six peonies of different shapes are carved along the annual rings.
"Erya, don't you like peonies the most? Dad made this for you. If you bring it, it's considered an object."
Yiyou will not be moved anymore, Shen Fuxiang really cares about her and Li Shi.But what he cares most about is always the hard-working old lady Shen in Yunlin Village.The two sides are hostile, and there is always a trade-off.
"Thank you so much. I see that your clothes are also old. Mu Ran has a few unopened cotton jackets. You can wear them for a new year when you get them."
Shen Fuxiang hurriedly agreed, and looked at Li Shi expectantly, only to see her drooping her eyes and drinking tea.Looking carefully, the fine porcelain teacup in her hand is even more beautiful than the set that the second brother was hiding earlier.
After all, it is different, polite girl, rich Yunniang.In just half a year, they are already people from two worlds.
Sadly putting on a new cotton robe, Mu Ran also came over, bowed his hands politely, and took out a pipe from his purse.Shen Fuxiang accepted it tremblingly, looking at the wealthy family, he almost ran away in despair.
Yiyou shook her head: "Why should he do this?"
