Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm
Chapter 86
Chapter 86
On the 22nd day of the year, Yiyou got up early.Mu Ran got up earlier than her, chopped firewood to boil water, and after boiling two large pots of hot water, he carried a shoulder pole into the main room.
"There's not enough water to run out of."
"Use it up."
Mu Ran put the barrel on the side of the Kang and opened the door of another room.With the cold wind blowing in, Yiyou wrapped the quilt tightly around her body: "You have been nagging all these days, even locked the door, what did you do behind my back?"
"Baby see for yourself."
Yiyou looked over there, the four gentlemen's screen was removed, and there was a wooden barrel inside.The barrel was three feet high and three feet wide, more than enough to put two of her in it.
No, two?Often Mu Ran, if he sat in with her, wouldn't he be able to let go too.Looking at her expectant eyes, she quickly put on her obscene clothes under the quilt: "Put the water down, I have to wash up quickly."
"It's already been put away. I'll be outside. Call me when the water is cold. I'll go and fill it up for you."
Yiyou shivered. Although she was used to tossing about at night, she still had some trouble adapting to the bathtub in broad daylight.
"No, you put a spoon in it, and I'll add it slowly. But it's late, so I just wipe it off a little bit, and a bucket of hot water is enough."
Mu Ran showed regret, the young daughter-in-law was beautiful, but he couldn't get enough of her no matter what.Now that the plan had failed, he didn't dare to show it on his face.Lifting the bucket, he turned around and walked to the door: "I'll go and make you something to eat. How about making a bowl of chicken noodles with the leftover chicken soup from last night?"
"It's fine, chicken sauce noodles are too troublesome, boiled noodles are also fine."
Pulling the screen, she looked at the furnishings in the room.There are two charcoal stoves against the wall, and the silver coal inside is so hot that she will not be cold even if she is naked.Between the two charcoal stoves was a newly made wooden barrel. When I walked in to see it, the wooden barrel was bigger than she estimated. Thinking of Mu Ran's regret that couldn't be hidden, she was ashamed and annoyed.
"This color embryo."
Stretching his tired arms and legs, he seemed to have endless energy every day. He had to do so much work during the day, almost without stopping.She is the one who is obviously relaxed, but she is the first to fall asleep tired every night.
Soaked in hot water, she felt that every pore on her body was open.In her previous life, she also had a separate bathtub in Zhizhou Mansion, and taking a bath with cooking water every day was really happy like a fairy.But why didn't Mrs. Li agree to do it for her after she was reborn? According to her, burning a large bucket of water just for taking a bath is not worth the trouble, and the firewood and labor are not affordable for a family like hers.
She once muttered after Mu Ran finished tormenting: It would be great if I could take a bath every day.
But she also knew that the Mu family was not much wealthier than her own, so she also said that she would think about it later when the days got better.At that time, he was only talking to each other, but she didn't take it to heart, never thought that he not only wrote it down, but actually agreed to it.
"Brother Mu is really caring."
Feeling sweet for a while, she took the soap locust from the side of the tube, rubbed it on her hair and rinsed it off.After a little freshening up, she wiped it off quickly and put on new clothes that were draped over the screen.
After Mu Ran finished making chicken noodles, he put them on the table and opened another door.The room was empty, and there was the rustling sound of getting dressed behind the screen.Unexpectedly, the little daughter-in-law washed it so quickly. He picked up the cloth towel beside him and asked, "Have you ever drained your hair?"
"Not yet, I can do it myself."
"Two people are always faster."
The cloth towel is made of velvet cloth brought from the south by Wuzhouzhai. It is different from the toughness of the cloth weaved in the north. There is a layer of thread on the cloth, which is soft to the touch and absorbs water when you wipe your hair.Mu Ran held his black hair carefully and squeezed the water dry.
Dai Yiyou smoothed it out with a comb, and he took the big red ribbon, and gently tied the ends of his hair. The black hair was draped over his fragrant shoulders, making people feel elegant for no reason.
"It's done quickly, and it's not too late to comb it later."
Yiyou looked at herself in the mirror, her hair was unkempt.A head of black hair is really beautiful, but it is also quite troublesome to take care of.It takes two hours to dry it completely after washing. There are maids in big families who blow it with fans, but small families can only endure it until their hair is shiny.
But she was a special case. During the time she stayed in Yunlin Village, no matter how poor her family was, she had to fetch a bucket of water from the stream every other day and wash it carefully.If her hair smelled of sludge, she would definitely not be able to sleep all night.Being taken by her, Mrs. Li is also very clean.
"Alright, let's go to dinner soon."
Although they haven't been married for long, Mu Ran has already figured out Yiyou's taste.She can't eat spicy food or use heavy oil, so it's just right for her to be light and slightly salty.This is not difficult for him, so Yiyou is quite satisfied with this chicken noodle meal.
"Sister-in-law, since you came, my brother's cooking has become better and better every day." Mu Yu ate very happily, and will soon have a second bowl.
"Bastard, brother treated you badly before?"
Mu Yu rolled his eyes: "I don't know who it is, asking me what the Changsheng family eats and what the food tastes like every day."
No matter how thick-skinned Mu Ran was, he blushed a little at this moment.Yiyou's heart became sweeter. Seeing that he was losing face, she quickly picked up a chopstick of cabbage and gave it to Mu Yu: "We have to go to Yunzhou today. After dinner, I will send you to Shen's house first."
"Sister-in-law, I know it. Don't worry, I will supervise Changsheng to write big characters well."
"I'm sure of you."
Duan Yang went to clean up the dinner table, and just about to go out after harnessing the carriage, there was a knock on the door.
"Mingyuan, why is it you?"
"Lord Mu, Mrs. Mu, the master ordered me to present this as a gift."
Mingyuan was holding a finely carved box in his hand, and when he opened it, it was actually an old birthday star carved from emerald.Although the Dayue Jadeite is not very expensive, but such a jadeite full of water, it is the best that can be encountered but not sought after.Usually a bracelet is worth the first two, let alone this birthday man with long forearms.
"Master asks Mr. Mu to hand over this item to Liao Jianjun, and let him celebrate General Liao's birthday."
"This……"
Of course, Mu Ran also knows the goods, but he is still a little hesitant about such a valuable thing.Mingyuan didn't panic when he saw this, but took out a letter from his pocket.
"When I came here, the master told me that Master Mu will make a decision after reading this letter."
Taking out a piece of paper, Mu Ran placed it directly between her and Yiyou.In the letter, Mr. Chang wrote Zhongzheng Peace in block letters, and more importantly, the content of the letter.This birthday statue was originally a reward given by the first emperor to General Liao when General Liao first sealed the town as a general.Later, the Liao family's fortunes fell, and many turbulences occurred during the migration process. Seven or eight of the family properties were destroyed, and even the birthday boy was also lost among the people without a trace.
The doubts in Yiyou's heart were finally explained. Who else in the world could have such an exquisite thing except the royal family.
"Brother Mu, let's take it there. If Supervisor Liao doesn't accept it, it won't be too late to bring it back."
Mu Ran responded, and Ming Yuan took out another palm-sized box: "This was used by the young lady before. The master and his wife hit it off, so he ordered me to bring it together."
Yiyou was a little puzzled, she didn't have many negotiations with Master Chang, so it couldn't be said that she hit it off.But listening to what he said, he actually treated him as a younger generation, and there was only one reason: his feelings for Li Shi really couldn't be truer.
She was shocked again when she opened the box, it turned out to be a pair of jade bracelets.Although it is not full of emeralds, it is the most noble imperial green among emeralds. The water head and color look much better than the emeralds used by the birthday man.
"This... how to make it."
Mingyuan looked at the couple and found it quite interesting.Previously, he was in Beijing with the master, and the lady wanted to deduct some good things from each room during the festival.The same goes for those high-ranking officials, even if they pretend to decline when they see something good, they will always have a smile on their faces.
These two people are obviously his master's parents, and they act as if they have seen a ghost when they receive something, and their bodies are written all over their bodies.Really interesting and entertaining.
"It's useless for the master to keep it. He ordered me to bring a message: Mrs. Mu don't take it to heart."
How can Yiyou not take it to heart, cannibalism is short of mouth and short of hands.Don't say that Mu Ran is only a small seventh-rank now, even if he becomes a first-rank official, she can't accept things from others for no reason.
Mu Ran looked at the pair of bracelets, imagining how they would look when worn on Yiyou's wrist.The white skin with king green is just like the Changbai Mountain waterfall surrounded by green pines, it is too beautiful to behold.
"Accept it, I will try my best to deal with General Liao."
"The young one thanked Mr. Mu first on behalf of my master."
Seeing that the two have reached an agreement, Yi You finally has a bottom line in her heart.She accepted gifts from Wu Qiong Pavilion and other shops because Mu Ran sheltered them.Now that she is in contact with Master Chang, even if things may not happen, she doesn't feel so guilty.
At dawn, the two finally drove out of Yongpingfang and walked towards Yonganfang where the county government came out.
"Husband is really powerful. This pair of bracelets is worth our entire fortune."
"Oh?" Mu Ran raised his lowered eyes and looked at her fixedly: "I don't think so."
"How is it possible, our house is only 700 taels, including the furniture, cellar and well, it tops out at 1000 taels. This bracelet alone is definitely more than 1000 taels. The gift of Master Chang is really big enough. "
"It's big enough, but it's just a drop in the bucket compared to your wealth."
"Why?"
Yiyou raised her head suspiciously, meeting his eyes, she clearly saw herself reflected in Mu Ran's eyes.
Seeing the young daughter-in-law like this, Mu Ran nodded: "And you."
After a while, she blushed: "Don't joke anymore."
"Bracelets are dead things after all, baby, you are that priceless treasure."
Since morning till now, Yiyou has been praised repeatedly by him.No matter how thick-skinned she is, it's a little hard to resist now.
"You, you looked honest before..."
Mu Ran kicked her legs to get closer to her: "Could it be that my husband is not honest now."
Yiyou stretched out her hand to interrupt him: "Don't approach him in broad daylight, you're getting more and more slick."
After getting along for a few days, the uneasiness in Mu Ran's heart has long since dissipated.Now he is more and more natural to his little daughter-in-law: "I'm telling the truth."
"I won't tell you anymore."
When the county government left, Yiyou's face was still flushed like an eggplant.
Every year, the banquet in Yunzhou Mansion is organized by Mrs. Zhizhou, and all the people who come and go are officials.Therefore, although the county government sees a lot of people, only the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and master book can go.There are three families in the nearby county, and Yun County is in a special situation. One of the two registrars occupies official status, and the other occupies a relationship, and neither of them can be missing.
In addition, there is Mr. Tie, as a fairy-like existence, even though he has never had an official status, his status in this situation is more detached than anyone else.
The men rode in parallel in front, and the five families got into two carriages respectively.Yiyou walked with Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Tie, she politely invited them to go up, but just as she was about to step on it, a stone rolled under her feet.
As the new year approached, it was already freezing cold, and the stones were stuck under her feet, and she would lean back when her feet slipped.
"Be careful."
At the moment of crisis, Mu Ran immediately jumped off the horse and hugged her lazily.Then he kicked with his right foot, and the stone just hit the upper of the girl's shoe in the back.
"What's going on outside?"
Mu Ran didn't speak, but looked over there with a cold face.Yiyou stood still, and came out of his arms: "This is Sister Xing from the wife's family, right? A gentle and quiet girl, why do you always like to pick up stones and kick them when you walk?"
The head secretary's wife's face darkened: "How many times have I told you that it's okay to be casual at home, but no one will let you out. Madam Mu, I have already taught this girl a lesson, so don't worry about another child."
Yi You smiled softly: "When did I argue with her? By the way, I haven't congratulated Sister Xing on her marriage, but I also have to congratulate the master and wife. I finally found my son-in-law."
As she spoke, she flirted with Mu Ran, who cupped his fists: "It's such a happy event, seeing all my colleagues today, I will definitely tell you the good news."
It was originally a very festive passage, but he was full of smirks, and it made people feel chills when he said it.
The chief secretary's wife burst into anger, and before she could leave the county office that day, Cheng's half-crazy mother-in-law forced her to the door.With Mrs. Zhang around, she had no choice but to say a few words, and the marriage was half settled.
The girl cried several times because of this matter, and she also had her parents-in-law and husband-in-law to complain. These days, she is really devastated.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhizhou has good news, so let these people be happy for the time being, and they will cry later.
Amidst the sound of congratulations, the master's wife pulled up her daughter and got into the carriage full of anger.She wanted to be quiet, but someone didn't let her go.
Another wife who was in the car with her, her husband and son-in-law is the county magistrate's book boy, so he is naturally a hard-core county magistrate's party.There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and she has long hated this man so much that her teeth itch.
"Sister Xing in your family really found a good family. The Shen family is also considered a big family in our Yun County. The family has a hundred hectares of land for sacrifice. After the sister passed through the house, she was helped by her grandmother and mother-in-law. It must be something You don't have to worry. Besides, Chunsheng has no father, and you are the wife of the family as soon as you pass through the house. It is too good to be good. It is the wife who cares about you, even I am envious when I look at it."
Everyone could tell that this was an irony, and Sister Xing, who was next to the wife of the chief bookkeeper, couldn't hold back: "That shabby household, if you like it, let your daughter marry it."
"My daughter? My sister really likes to joke. My youngest daughter married to Zhang's family in Linxian County last year. Her husband's family is just a county lieutenant, so it can't compare to your noble family in this county."
"It's clear that standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, you are not good people."
"My sister's words are really heartless. I sincerely congratulate you. Thankfully, I also have a daughter-in-law. I was said like this. Where can I put my old face?"
The head secretary's wife was agitated for a while, the family who took up her husband's place was full of meat.If you can't stop her mouth now, I'm afraid that when she arrives at the Yunzhou government office, she will have every doorknob on her mouth and bite her daughter indiscriminately.
"What do you care about with her as a child? It's still a long time now, and I'm just waiting for Chunsheng to get a good name in the exam."
"Those who are all engaged can no longer act casually like children. When it comes to the test of merit, my second child is with Brother Rui. I don't know if he can be a scholar. We have so many scholars in Da Yue, except for Brother Rui. I don’t hold out much hope for anyone else who is as stunning as this one.”
The head secretary's wife's face was so dark that she could tell that out of the five families who went there today, four were targeting him.But so what about targeting, they came from the Chen family in Yuejing. I heard that in Yuejing, every concierge of the Chen family is bigger than a fifth-rank official.
Therefore, in his mind, no matter how bad his husband is, he must be of the sixth rank, which is much better than the county magistrate.As a superior, she does not have the same knowledge as the people below who are struggling to make a living.
The master's wife's spiritual victory method in the carriage behind was successful again, but the four people in front were exceptionally harmonious.
Mrs. Tie's two sons and one daughter have already married, and she also came alone.It was inconvenient for Mu Ran to ride a horse, so the emerald birthday star Weng was taken by Yiyou, and when he opened the box, the four of them looked at it in admiration.
"It's really pretty." This is Sister Qiao.
"Look at this translucent color, who wouldn't like it." This is Mrs. Zhang.
"I've seen colored glaze before. Although the colored glaze is expensive, it doesn't have the spirituality of jade and emerald made by the aura of heaven and earth." This is Mrs. Tie who has followed Mr. Tie's knowledge and experience.
"This object originally belonged to the Liao family, Master Chang Tuo Mu returned it back."
Mrs. Zhang nodded: "That's what it should be. How prominent the Liao family was back then, it can't be overstated compared to the most powerful Wang family in Beijing. It's just that once the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and now the dead tree is in spring, it's a happy event."
Several people were chatting, and Yiyou was surprised to find that the one who knew the most was not the Zhang family whose natal family was in the capital, but the outspoken Mrs. Tie.
Soon Sister Qiao explained her doubts, and the title of Iron Immortal had rushed out of Yunzhou to Yuejing.Many dignitaries in Yuejing know that there is a hermit named Tie in Yunzhou, who has the ability to reach heaven and earth.The hermits can't bother too much, so on weekdays, everyone will send people to bring generous gifts to ask Mr. Tie to calculate it in person.
"It's really powerful enough. Mr. Tie's fortune telling, it's enough to last me half my life."
Speaking of this iron lady, she was sad: "There is no such good thing, he is a dead-headed person, and most people will be turned away. In addition, he likes gold and stone, thanks to his wife these years, otherwise we will not be here. The mothers have to count the rice grains for cooking."
There was laughter in the carriage, and Mrs. Zhang closed the lid of the box: "This Master Chang really knows how to be a man. A few days ago, he even sent a set of hair masks. The carving is particularly ingenious."
Yiyou knew that her worries were unnecessary, based on Master Chang's twisted and eighteen-turned brain circuit, how could he communicate with Liao Jianjun without telling the county magistrate's wife.
Qiao Jie stretched out a hand: "This is it."
Yiyou looked at the bracelet, the silver bracelet was carved with dense flowers and trees, and the complicated patterns were like ancient totems: "It looks like something from the Southwest."
"That's where it came from. I heard that this pattern can ward off evil spirits."
The four of them talked about patterns, and the carriage drove steadily, and soon arrived outside Yunzhou City.
Yunzhou City is an important military town in the eastern part of Dai Viet, and anyone who enters the city must be inspected.Yiyou got off the carriage and stood with Sister Qiao.
Just when she was about to enter the city for inspection, she drove past at high speed alone, and she hurriedly pulled Qiaojie back.In a hurry, the already loose silver bracelet fell to the ground, and the horseshoe stepped on it, making a ding-dong sound.After the horse passed by, Qiaojie hurriedly picked it up.
The complicated and mysterious patterns were trampled flat, leaving only the color of silver, Qiao Jie was so angry that she itched her teeth.
"Relying on your own official university to enter and leave the city without inspection, you are so arrogant, what can you do if you trample someone to death!"
Even Yiyou could see who was coming, the silver armor and the tiger head on his shoulders were too eye-catching.In Yunzhou City, there is no one else who is dressed like this except the military supervisor.
"Go back and send it to Wu Qiong Pavilion to see if it can be restored to its original state."
Sister Qiao is currently very fond of the bracelet, but at the moment she is unwilling to do so. She wraps it in a handkerchief, and throws it into Jade's arms behind her: "I reward you, I don't want this kind of rags."
Mrs. Zhang nodded to Fei Cui, and came over to persuade her daughter: "Be careful today, we can rest assured after this day."
"Mother, my daughter knows the priorities."
Yiyou took Qiaojie's arm. Although she was a bit delicate, she was different from those second-generation ancestors. Qiaojie was very measured and kind-hearted.She is a rich young lady, a little temper will only make people feel cute.
Holding Yiyou's arm, Qiaojie began to think: "That man didn't even give my father a straight look when we met for the first time, and he's still like this now, he really is uneducated."
"Jun Liao was born in the army, so he is naturally inferior to a scholar. But I heard from Brother Mu that his kung fu is first-class. Although he is young, he has already penetrated into the enemy camp and killed two enemy soldiers. general."
"really?"
"I'm still going to lie to you. I'm afraid he has something urgent to do today."
Sister Qiao is now fully focused on "martial arts excellence". Since she made her great wish to practice martial arts that day, she got up every morning and ran around the county government. Although she was too tired after a few days, she felt that she had grown a little stronger.
"I can't believe it until I test him."
Seeing that she was no longer gnashing her teeth, Yiyou was finally relieved.Seeing that Zhizhou's capital is close in front of her eyes, she has done all the preparations.Now the Zhizhou Golden Seal is still in the hands of Chen Deren, and he is still the one who controls the entire Yunzhou in name.
He had lost face because of his marriage before, and he was completely on the opposite side because of the evaluation.Even if the two sides didn't completely tear each other up because of face, it's not much better than that.
The changes in Zhizhou's mansion are very obvious. The concierge who used to be arrogant and arrogant, now his face is no longer shiny and smooth.He is also worried, he is a figure in Yunzhou, and if he wants to enter the gate of Zhizhou mansion, he must first ask him what he means.But when he arrived in the capital, it was not his master's turn to be the head of the Lifan Courtyard, so he would stay at the Chen's house and take care of a small courtyard.
No matter how rich the Chen family is, with his status as a master and a sinner, he will definitely be ridiculed many times after returning home.Thinking about the days after the year, he only felt that his whole life was bleak.
"The county magistrate, county lieutenant, and director of Yunxian County are here, and Mr. Tie is here!"
Singing lyrics, a mother came out to welcome the family members in person.This person is not Yin's mother, even if Ke Yiyou turns into ashes, she will never forget that she is one of the two who performed the needle-throwing dance in her previous life.Compared to her fat body in her previous life, her clothes are now a little empty, and her complexion is not as aggressive as before.
Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, but it was Chen Deren's own fault at this point.Yiyou has already figured it out thoroughly, now that the Chen family is so depressed, apart from being happy, she is more calm.What happened to Chen Deren had nothing to do with her.
All the way through the courtyard and into the main room, several people naturally want to greet Yin Shi.
Except for Mrs. Zhang, several people possessed themselves: "Greetings to Madam."
There was no sound from above for a long time, and Yiyou knew that this was an attack.Looking up, she was meeting Yin Shi's eyes. To her surprise, she could hardly recognize Yin Shi.
When we met in summer, there was a touch of grace and luxury in her rich appearance.But now goodbye, the corners of her eyes are drooping, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose can't be covered by any amount of rouge and gouache.Grace and luxury were gone, and her whole body was full of stagnation.
"Sister Yin is not in good spirits, so you can ask me to help out for a while. I am so tired now that I can't even hear my greetings."
Zhang's robbed Yin's support: "It's nothing, it's just that I went to bed late last night with our master to sort out the matter of the hidden field. The Chen family is not those small families. We have to do things beautifully and appropriately.”
Zhang was not annoyed at being said to be a small family: "Hurry up and sit down, Sister Yin is such a kind person, she won't get up until she calls you, this has been seen by others, maybe they misunderstood her. "
Yiyou pursed her lips: "It's better that Madam and Madam Zhizhou are acquainted with each other, so we should know each other better. When Madam came here, she said that no matter how big or small the official is, as long as she abides by the court regulations, there will be no mistakes. That's what I think of."
Yin's chest heaved, but she knew that if she continued to talk about "big family and small family", she would be looking down on the court regulations made by the Holy Majesty.
"Hurry up and watch the seats."
Yin's mother exchanged glances with Mrs. Yin while she was moving the stool, and then nodded to Yin.Yiyou sat under Qiaojie's hands and saw this scene through the reflection of the teacup.Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, could something be wrong?
She went through the past few days one by one in her heart, because it was the first time to take over and she had no elders to help, so she was extra careful.After getting ready, he even went to the county government to ask Mrs. Zhang for advice.She was sure that even the occasional small blemish would not be big enough to have a bad effect.
After thinking twice, she dug out all the corners, but she still didn't find anything else.Finally she let it go, others insisted on calculating, it was useless for her to worry now, she might as well concentrate and watch, maybe she could find something.
For family banquets in a family, there are rules on what to wear at all times, so every time, all the officials from the seven counties under Yunzhou come. More than 20 wives and their children filled the main room, with Yin sitting at the top, Zhang didn't care about her, and sat down first on the left.
The rest of the people didn't dare to object when they came to see this. No matter how unconvinced they were, they would still beg for food under Xinzhizhou's subordinates.It's not worth fighting for a moment.
Seeing this, Yiyou can rest assured that there are not many stupid officials, and being greedy for money and lust is not a serious problem. As long as the overall situation is enough and the peak and the scales are not touched, they can generally live a good life.Obviously, those who can work in Yun County are all smart, and they will not rush into the battle and make the cannon just because of Chen Deren's few words.
Yin rubbed her head: "According to the usual practice, let's take a look at everyone's festive things first. Mom, ask someone to bring them up."
The altar was brought up, and Quanxian was the first to put it up. The things they gave were quite satisfactory, but they were just vases and jade wares, which were more exquisite in style.
Then the second county and the third county are similar to Quan County.It was only then that Yiyou felt that the Zhang family was rich, and the things she gave casually could equal the sum of any two of them.
The gifts from the six counties were arranged in strips according to each county, and placed neatly on the altar.At this time, the altar table was [-]% full, and the gold and silver porcelain on it reflected the scorching winter sun, making Yiyou dizzy for a while.She finally understood why Yin Shi was so magnanimous to her in the previous life, and the good things she saw were leaked from Yin Shi's fingers.
If you already have a mountain of gold, who will care about the earrings the size of a fingernail.
"Yun County!"
Finally arrived at Yun County, two servant girls carried the boxes up, and Mother Yin read, putting things on the box one by one.As expected, Mrs. Zhang once again dominated the audience. When others gave a porcelain vase, she gave away a hundred-year-old porcelain vase.When others give you a collar that is as thick as a little finger, she will give you a collar that is as thick as a thumb.
Each piece is quite weighty, and the numb faces of the surrounding ladies also show that they have long been used to this matter.
"Sister Lao spends money."
"It's okay, my sister just gave birth to a son, so I can treat it as a little gadget for my nephew."
Yin's brows and eyes stretched, and she glanced this way intentionally or unintentionally.Yiyou was sitting upright, her right eyelid twitched more and more violently, always feeling that the crisis was approaching.
"Muran, Wei of Yun County, present a pair of vases..."
It was a gift from her, brought up by the pottery merchant.The two vases were burnt with flowers and riches, which had a very good meaning, except for the ones given to Mrs. Zhang, this was the most precious of all the gifts she gave.
Looking up into the box, I saw the little maid who offered the object was full of horror.Immediately, Yiyou felt something was wrong, grabbed sister Qiao's sleeve, and she looked at Yin Shi.
Yin Shi drank tea leisurely, without any change on his face.
"lady."
Putting on the teacup, Yin Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
"The vase is..."
Mother Yin, who was singing the single, walked over and staggered in shock.Sitting at the bottom, the chief secretary's wife stretched her neck and looked at it, and then said in surprise: "It turned out to be Tang Sancai!"
"what!"
A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone in the room stretched their necks to look over there.Yiyou stood up, looked at the Tang Sancai drum musician figurine in the box, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead.
Tang Sancai!Although this item is not popular in Da Viet, a three-year-old child knows that it is the favorite item for the funeral of the princes and nobles of the former dynasty.
So she sent it up. To put it lightly, it can be seen how much she despises Shangfeng in her heart when she gives someone such an inauspicious item during the Chinese New Year. The censor can directly cure Mu Ran, who is concerned with the crime of treason by the previous dynasty.
A cold current spread from the heel to all the limbs, and she felt that the Yin family from the previous life had returned.She is always silently watching from the sidelines, let you be arrogant and self-satisfied, if you don't make a move, you will be killed, what's more, you will be in a situation where you can't control your life and death.
The mouth of the green bamboo snake, the needle on the tail of the wasp.Both are acceptable, the most poisonous woman's heart!
At this moment, she directly lost her ability to think, until Sister Qiao awakened her sanity: "I looked at the vase you put in, why did it become Tang Sancai along the way."
Yiyou shook her head: "I don't know why."
Mrs. Zhang stood up and said, "I was present when the county government packed the boxes. We have to investigate carefully the matter of dropping the package."
Yin put down the teacup, and was supported by Yin's mother to walk among the remaining three people in Yun County: "Oh, did you all see it?"
Mrs. Tie and Mrs. Shutong both nodded: "It is indeed a vase, a pair of big peonies."
Only the chief secretary's wife stood up and sneered: "Look at what you said. Our things are packed in small boxes. Who has seen who. I don't know if you see it or not. Anyway, I don't know." This has never been seen before.”
"Oh? Finally someone dares to tell the truth. It seems that the next year in Yunzhou is destined to be quiet."
Mrs. Zhang didn't talk to the master's wife: "Sister let me wait for disbelief, and only trust her alone. You can't rely on her so wholeheartedly just because the deed of sale is still in your hands. Be careful of slaves bullying the master."
Mother Yin smiled and said: "No one in Yunzhou knows that Mrs. Mu almost came into our house wearing a pink robe to be a child. Madam felt sorry for her ignorance, and she voluntarily gave up when she heard that Mrs. Mu was a good marriage. It is so tolerant, I didn't expect She still holds a grudge. My poor wife, your bodhisattva heart will only make those young people more unscrupulous."
Yiyou finally gained insight today, there are women in the world who are more shameless than the Cheng family women.
But there was also the chief secretary's wife who testified at the side: "I was also there on the day of Wending, and Mother Yin came to congratulate her in person. She was obviously fine at the time, but I didn't expect her to deny anyone in the blink of an eye."
Yin waved his hand: "It's all in the past, it's all because I don't know people clearly, so don't mention them again."
The three of you said something to each other, and they wanted to smash this matter into reality.
Seeing that they didn't give them a chance to interrupt, Yiyou picked up a porcelain bowl and threw it at Yin's feet.The hot tea was splashed all over the floor, and the clear sound of porcelain shattering made the three of them stop discussing.
"You three don't make up here, you should let me say a few words. Mama Yin is indeed an elderly person, and the ability to turn black and white is something that ordinary people don't have."
(End of this chapter)
On the 22nd day of the year, Yiyou got up early.Mu Ran got up earlier than her, chopped firewood to boil water, and after boiling two large pots of hot water, he carried a shoulder pole into the main room.
"There's not enough water to run out of."
"Use it up."
Mu Ran put the barrel on the side of the Kang and opened the door of another room.With the cold wind blowing in, Yiyou wrapped the quilt tightly around her body: "You have been nagging all these days, even locked the door, what did you do behind my back?"
"Baby see for yourself."
Yiyou looked over there, the four gentlemen's screen was removed, and there was a wooden barrel inside.The barrel was three feet high and three feet wide, more than enough to put two of her in it.
No, two?Often Mu Ran, if he sat in with her, wouldn't he be able to let go too.Looking at her expectant eyes, she quickly put on her obscene clothes under the quilt: "Put the water down, I have to wash up quickly."
"It's already been put away. I'll be outside. Call me when the water is cold. I'll go and fill it up for you."
Yiyou shivered. Although she was used to tossing about at night, she still had some trouble adapting to the bathtub in broad daylight.
"No, you put a spoon in it, and I'll add it slowly. But it's late, so I just wipe it off a little bit, and a bucket of hot water is enough."
Mu Ran showed regret, the young daughter-in-law was beautiful, but he couldn't get enough of her no matter what.Now that the plan had failed, he didn't dare to show it on his face.Lifting the bucket, he turned around and walked to the door: "I'll go and make you something to eat. How about making a bowl of chicken noodles with the leftover chicken soup from last night?"
"It's fine, chicken sauce noodles are too troublesome, boiled noodles are also fine."
Pulling the screen, she looked at the furnishings in the room.There are two charcoal stoves against the wall, and the silver coal inside is so hot that she will not be cold even if she is naked.Between the two charcoal stoves was a newly made wooden barrel. When I walked in to see it, the wooden barrel was bigger than she estimated. Thinking of Mu Ran's regret that couldn't be hidden, she was ashamed and annoyed.
"This color embryo."
Stretching his tired arms and legs, he seemed to have endless energy every day. He had to do so much work during the day, almost without stopping.She is the one who is obviously relaxed, but she is the first to fall asleep tired every night.
Soaked in hot water, she felt that every pore on her body was open.In her previous life, she also had a separate bathtub in Zhizhou Mansion, and taking a bath with cooking water every day was really happy like a fairy.But why didn't Mrs. Li agree to do it for her after she was reborn? According to her, burning a large bucket of water just for taking a bath is not worth the trouble, and the firewood and labor are not affordable for a family like hers.
She once muttered after Mu Ran finished tormenting: It would be great if I could take a bath every day.
But she also knew that the Mu family was not much wealthier than her own, so she also said that she would think about it later when the days got better.At that time, he was only talking to each other, but she didn't take it to heart, never thought that he not only wrote it down, but actually agreed to it.
"Brother Mu is really caring."
Feeling sweet for a while, she took the soap locust from the side of the tube, rubbed it on her hair and rinsed it off.After a little freshening up, she wiped it off quickly and put on new clothes that were draped over the screen.
After Mu Ran finished making chicken noodles, he put them on the table and opened another door.The room was empty, and there was the rustling sound of getting dressed behind the screen.Unexpectedly, the little daughter-in-law washed it so quickly. He picked up the cloth towel beside him and asked, "Have you ever drained your hair?"
"Not yet, I can do it myself."
"Two people are always faster."
The cloth towel is made of velvet cloth brought from the south by Wuzhouzhai. It is different from the toughness of the cloth weaved in the north. There is a layer of thread on the cloth, which is soft to the touch and absorbs water when you wipe your hair.Mu Ran held his black hair carefully and squeezed the water dry.
Dai Yiyou smoothed it out with a comb, and he took the big red ribbon, and gently tied the ends of his hair. The black hair was draped over his fragrant shoulders, making people feel elegant for no reason.
"It's done quickly, and it's not too late to comb it later."
Yiyou looked at herself in the mirror, her hair was unkempt.A head of black hair is really beautiful, but it is also quite troublesome to take care of.It takes two hours to dry it completely after washing. There are maids in big families who blow it with fans, but small families can only endure it until their hair is shiny.
But she was a special case. During the time she stayed in Yunlin Village, no matter how poor her family was, she had to fetch a bucket of water from the stream every other day and wash it carefully.If her hair smelled of sludge, she would definitely not be able to sleep all night.Being taken by her, Mrs. Li is also very clean.
"Alright, let's go to dinner soon."
Although they haven't been married for long, Mu Ran has already figured out Yiyou's taste.She can't eat spicy food or use heavy oil, so it's just right for her to be light and slightly salty.This is not difficult for him, so Yiyou is quite satisfied with this chicken noodle meal.
"Sister-in-law, since you came, my brother's cooking has become better and better every day." Mu Yu ate very happily, and will soon have a second bowl.
"Bastard, brother treated you badly before?"
Mu Yu rolled his eyes: "I don't know who it is, asking me what the Changsheng family eats and what the food tastes like every day."
No matter how thick-skinned Mu Ran was, he blushed a little at this moment.Yiyou's heart became sweeter. Seeing that he was losing face, she quickly picked up a chopstick of cabbage and gave it to Mu Yu: "We have to go to Yunzhou today. After dinner, I will send you to Shen's house first."
"Sister-in-law, I know it. Don't worry, I will supervise Changsheng to write big characters well."
"I'm sure of you."
Duan Yang went to clean up the dinner table, and just about to go out after harnessing the carriage, there was a knock on the door.
"Mingyuan, why is it you?"
"Lord Mu, Mrs. Mu, the master ordered me to present this as a gift."
Mingyuan was holding a finely carved box in his hand, and when he opened it, it was actually an old birthday star carved from emerald.Although the Dayue Jadeite is not very expensive, but such a jadeite full of water, it is the best that can be encountered but not sought after.Usually a bracelet is worth the first two, let alone this birthday man with long forearms.
"Master asks Mr. Mu to hand over this item to Liao Jianjun, and let him celebrate General Liao's birthday."
"This……"
Of course, Mu Ran also knows the goods, but he is still a little hesitant about such a valuable thing.Mingyuan didn't panic when he saw this, but took out a letter from his pocket.
"When I came here, the master told me that Master Mu will make a decision after reading this letter."
Taking out a piece of paper, Mu Ran placed it directly between her and Yiyou.In the letter, Mr. Chang wrote Zhongzheng Peace in block letters, and more importantly, the content of the letter.This birthday statue was originally a reward given by the first emperor to General Liao when General Liao first sealed the town as a general.Later, the Liao family's fortunes fell, and many turbulences occurred during the migration process. Seven or eight of the family properties were destroyed, and even the birthday boy was also lost among the people without a trace.
The doubts in Yiyou's heart were finally explained. Who else in the world could have such an exquisite thing except the royal family.
"Brother Mu, let's take it there. If Supervisor Liao doesn't accept it, it won't be too late to bring it back."
Mu Ran responded, and Ming Yuan took out another palm-sized box: "This was used by the young lady before. The master and his wife hit it off, so he ordered me to bring it together."
Yiyou was a little puzzled, she didn't have many negotiations with Master Chang, so it couldn't be said that she hit it off.But listening to what he said, he actually treated him as a younger generation, and there was only one reason: his feelings for Li Shi really couldn't be truer.
She was shocked again when she opened the box, it turned out to be a pair of jade bracelets.Although it is not full of emeralds, it is the most noble imperial green among emeralds. The water head and color look much better than the emeralds used by the birthday man.
"This... how to make it."
Mingyuan looked at the couple and found it quite interesting.Previously, he was in Beijing with the master, and the lady wanted to deduct some good things from each room during the festival.The same goes for those high-ranking officials, even if they pretend to decline when they see something good, they will always have a smile on their faces.
These two people are obviously his master's parents, and they act as if they have seen a ghost when they receive something, and their bodies are written all over their bodies.Really interesting and entertaining.
"It's useless for the master to keep it. He ordered me to bring a message: Mrs. Mu don't take it to heart."
How can Yiyou not take it to heart, cannibalism is short of mouth and short of hands.Don't say that Mu Ran is only a small seventh-rank now, even if he becomes a first-rank official, she can't accept things from others for no reason.
Mu Ran looked at the pair of bracelets, imagining how they would look when worn on Yiyou's wrist.The white skin with king green is just like the Changbai Mountain waterfall surrounded by green pines, it is too beautiful to behold.
"Accept it, I will try my best to deal with General Liao."
"The young one thanked Mr. Mu first on behalf of my master."
Seeing that the two have reached an agreement, Yi You finally has a bottom line in her heart.She accepted gifts from Wu Qiong Pavilion and other shops because Mu Ran sheltered them.Now that she is in contact with Master Chang, even if things may not happen, she doesn't feel so guilty.
At dawn, the two finally drove out of Yongpingfang and walked towards Yonganfang where the county government came out.
"Husband is really powerful. This pair of bracelets is worth our entire fortune."
"Oh?" Mu Ran raised his lowered eyes and looked at her fixedly: "I don't think so."
"How is it possible, our house is only 700 taels, including the furniture, cellar and well, it tops out at 1000 taels. This bracelet alone is definitely more than 1000 taels. The gift of Master Chang is really big enough. "
"It's big enough, but it's just a drop in the bucket compared to your wealth."
"Why?"
Yiyou raised her head suspiciously, meeting his eyes, she clearly saw herself reflected in Mu Ran's eyes.
Seeing the young daughter-in-law like this, Mu Ran nodded: "And you."
After a while, she blushed: "Don't joke anymore."
"Bracelets are dead things after all, baby, you are that priceless treasure."
Since morning till now, Yiyou has been praised repeatedly by him.No matter how thick-skinned she is, it's a little hard to resist now.
"You, you looked honest before..."
Mu Ran kicked her legs to get closer to her: "Could it be that my husband is not honest now."
Yiyou stretched out her hand to interrupt him: "Don't approach him in broad daylight, you're getting more and more slick."
After getting along for a few days, the uneasiness in Mu Ran's heart has long since dissipated.Now he is more and more natural to his little daughter-in-law: "I'm telling the truth."
"I won't tell you anymore."
When the county government left, Yiyou's face was still flushed like an eggplant.
Every year, the banquet in Yunzhou Mansion is organized by Mrs. Zhizhou, and all the people who come and go are officials.Therefore, although the county government sees a lot of people, only the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and master book can go.There are three families in the nearby county, and Yun County is in a special situation. One of the two registrars occupies official status, and the other occupies a relationship, and neither of them can be missing.
In addition, there is Mr. Tie, as a fairy-like existence, even though he has never had an official status, his status in this situation is more detached than anyone else.
The men rode in parallel in front, and the five families got into two carriages respectively.Yiyou walked with Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Tie, she politely invited them to go up, but just as she was about to step on it, a stone rolled under her feet.
As the new year approached, it was already freezing cold, and the stones were stuck under her feet, and she would lean back when her feet slipped.
"Be careful."
At the moment of crisis, Mu Ran immediately jumped off the horse and hugged her lazily.Then he kicked with his right foot, and the stone just hit the upper of the girl's shoe in the back.
"What's going on outside?"
Mu Ran didn't speak, but looked over there with a cold face.Yiyou stood still, and came out of his arms: "This is Sister Xing from the wife's family, right? A gentle and quiet girl, why do you always like to pick up stones and kick them when you walk?"
The head secretary's wife's face darkened: "How many times have I told you that it's okay to be casual at home, but no one will let you out. Madam Mu, I have already taught this girl a lesson, so don't worry about another child."
Yi You smiled softly: "When did I argue with her? By the way, I haven't congratulated Sister Xing on her marriage, but I also have to congratulate the master and wife. I finally found my son-in-law."
As she spoke, she flirted with Mu Ran, who cupped his fists: "It's such a happy event, seeing all my colleagues today, I will definitely tell you the good news."
It was originally a very festive passage, but he was full of smirks, and it made people feel chills when he said it.
The chief secretary's wife burst into anger, and before she could leave the county office that day, Cheng's half-crazy mother-in-law forced her to the door.With Mrs. Zhang around, she had no choice but to say a few words, and the marriage was half settled.
The girl cried several times because of this matter, and she also had her parents-in-law and husband-in-law to complain. These days, she is really devastated.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhizhou has good news, so let these people be happy for the time being, and they will cry later.
Amidst the sound of congratulations, the master's wife pulled up her daughter and got into the carriage full of anger.She wanted to be quiet, but someone didn't let her go.
Another wife who was in the car with her, her husband and son-in-law is the county magistrate's book boy, so he is naturally a hard-core county magistrate's party.There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and she has long hated this man so much that her teeth itch.
"Sister Xing in your family really found a good family. The Shen family is also considered a big family in our Yun County. The family has a hundred hectares of land for sacrifice. After the sister passed through the house, she was helped by her grandmother and mother-in-law. It must be something You don't have to worry. Besides, Chunsheng has no father, and you are the wife of the family as soon as you pass through the house. It is too good to be good. It is the wife who cares about you, even I am envious when I look at it."
Everyone could tell that this was an irony, and Sister Xing, who was next to the wife of the chief bookkeeper, couldn't hold back: "That shabby household, if you like it, let your daughter marry it."
"My daughter? My sister really likes to joke. My youngest daughter married to Zhang's family in Linxian County last year. Her husband's family is just a county lieutenant, so it can't compare to your noble family in this county."
"It's clear that standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, you are not good people."
"My sister's words are really heartless. I sincerely congratulate you. Thankfully, I also have a daughter-in-law. I was said like this. Where can I put my old face?"
The head secretary's wife was agitated for a while, the family who took up her husband's place was full of meat.If you can't stop her mouth now, I'm afraid that when she arrives at the Yunzhou government office, she will have every doorknob on her mouth and bite her daughter indiscriminately.
"What do you care about with her as a child? It's still a long time now, and I'm just waiting for Chunsheng to get a good name in the exam."
"Those who are all engaged can no longer act casually like children. When it comes to the test of merit, my second child is with Brother Rui. I don't know if he can be a scholar. We have so many scholars in Da Yue, except for Brother Rui. I don’t hold out much hope for anyone else who is as stunning as this one.”
The head secretary's wife's face was so dark that she could tell that out of the five families who went there today, four were targeting him.But so what about targeting, they came from the Chen family in Yuejing. I heard that in Yuejing, every concierge of the Chen family is bigger than a fifth-rank official.
Therefore, in his mind, no matter how bad his husband is, he must be of the sixth rank, which is much better than the county magistrate.As a superior, she does not have the same knowledge as the people below who are struggling to make a living.
The master's wife's spiritual victory method in the carriage behind was successful again, but the four people in front were exceptionally harmonious.
Mrs. Tie's two sons and one daughter have already married, and she also came alone.It was inconvenient for Mu Ran to ride a horse, so the emerald birthday star Weng was taken by Yiyou, and when he opened the box, the four of them looked at it in admiration.
"It's really pretty." This is Sister Qiao.
"Look at this translucent color, who wouldn't like it." This is Mrs. Zhang.
"I've seen colored glaze before. Although the colored glaze is expensive, it doesn't have the spirituality of jade and emerald made by the aura of heaven and earth." This is Mrs. Tie who has followed Mr. Tie's knowledge and experience.
"This object originally belonged to the Liao family, Master Chang Tuo Mu returned it back."
Mrs. Zhang nodded: "That's what it should be. How prominent the Liao family was back then, it can't be overstated compared to the most powerful Wang family in Beijing. It's just that once the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and now the dead tree is in spring, it's a happy event."
Several people were chatting, and Yiyou was surprised to find that the one who knew the most was not the Zhang family whose natal family was in the capital, but the outspoken Mrs. Tie.
Soon Sister Qiao explained her doubts, and the title of Iron Immortal had rushed out of Yunzhou to Yuejing.Many dignitaries in Yuejing know that there is a hermit named Tie in Yunzhou, who has the ability to reach heaven and earth.The hermits can't bother too much, so on weekdays, everyone will send people to bring generous gifts to ask Mr. Tie to calculate it in person.
"It's really powerful enough. Mr. Tie's fortune telling, it's enough to last me half my life."
Speaking of this iron lady, she was sad: "There is no such good thing, he is a dead-headed person, and most people will be turned away. In addition, he likes gold and stone, thanks to his wife these years, otherwise we will not be here. The mothers have to count the rice grains for cooking."
There was laughter in the carriage, and Mrs. Zhang closed the lid of the box: "This Master Chang really knows how to be a man. A few days ago, he even sent a set of hair masks. The carving is particularly ingenious."
Yiyou knew that her worries were unnecessary, based on Master Chang's twisted and eighteen-turned brain circuit, how could he communicate with Liao Jianjun without telling the county magistrate's wife.
Qiao Jie stretched out a hand: "This is it."
Yiyou looked at the bracelet, the silver bracelet was carved with dense flowers and trees, and the complicated patterns were like ancient totems: "It looks like something from the Southwest."
"That's where it came from. I heard that this pattern can ward off evil spirits."
The four of them talked about patterns, and the carriage drove steadily, and soon arrived outside Yunzhou City.
Yunzhou City is an important military town in the eastern part of Dai Viet, and anyone who enters the city must be inspected.Yiyou got off the carriage and stood with Sister Qiao.
Just when she was about to enter the city for inspection, she drove past at high speed alone, and she hurriedly pulled Qiaojie back.In a hurry, the already loose silver bracelet fell to the ground, and the horseshoe stepped on it, making a ding-dong sound.After the horse passed by, Qiaojie hurriedly picked it up.
The complicated and mysterious patterns were trampled flat, leaving only the color of silver, Qiao Jie was so angry that she itched her teeth.
"Relying on your own official university to enter and leave the city without inspection, you are so arrogant, what can you do if you trample someone to death!"
Even Yiyou could see who was coming, the silver armor and the tiger head on his shoulders were too eye-catching.In Yunzhou City, there is no one else who is dressed like this except the military supervisor.
"Go back and send it to Wu Qiong Pavilion to see if it can be restored to its original state."
Sister Qiao is currently very fond of the bracelet, but at the moment she is unwilling to do so. She wraps it in a handkerchief, and throws it into Jade's arms behind her: "I reward you, I don't want this kind of rags."
Mrs. Zhang nodded to Fei Cui, and came over to persuade her daughter: "Be careful today, we can rest assured after this day."
"Mother, my daughter knows the priorities."
Yiyou took Qiaojie's arm. Although she was a bit delicate, she was different from those second-generation ancestors. Qiaojie was very measured and kind-hearted.She is a rich young lady, a little temper will only make people feel cute.
Holding Yiyou's arm, Qiaojie began to think: "That man didn't even give my father a straight look when we met for the first time, and he's still like this now, he really is uneducated."
"Jun Liao was born in the army, so he is naturally inferior to a scholar. But I heard from Brother Mu that his kung fu is first-class. Although he is young, he has already penetrated into the enemy camp and killed two enemy soldiers. general."
"really?"
"I'm still going to lie to you. I'm afraid he has something urgent to do today."
Sister Qiao is now fully focused on "martial arts excellence". Since she made her great wish to practice martial arts that day, she got up every morning and ran around the county government. Although she was too tired after a few days, she felt that she had grown a little stronger.
"I can't believe it until I test him."
Seeing that she was no longer gnashing her teeth, Yiyou was finally relieved.Seeing that Zhizhou's capital is close in front of her eyes, she has done all the preparations.Now the Zhizhou Golden Seal is still in the hands of Chen Deren, and he is still the one who controls the entire Yunzhou in name.
He had lost face because of his marriage before, and he was completely on the opposite side because of the evaluation.Even if the two sides didn't completely tear each other up because of face, it's not much better than that.
The changes in Zhizhou's mansion are very obvious. The concierge who used to be arrogant and arrogant, now his face is no longer shiny and smooth.He is also worried, he is a figure in Yunzhou, and if he wants to enter the gate of Zhizhou mansion, he must first ask him what he means.But when he arrived in the capital, it was not his master's turn to be the head of the Lifan Courtyard, so he would stay at the Chen's house and take care of a small courtyard.
No matter how rich the Chen family is, with his status as a master and a sinner, he will definitely be ridiculed many times after returning home.Thinking about the days after the year, he only felt that his whole life was bleak.
"The county magistrate, county lieutenant, and director of Yunxian County are here, and Mr. Tie is here!"
Singing lyrics, a mother came out to welcome the family members in person.This person is not Yin's mother, even if Ke Yiyou turns into ashes, she will never forget that she is one of the two who performed the needle-throwing dance in her previous life.Compared to her fat body in her previous life, her clothes are now a little empty, and her complexion is not as aggressive as before.
Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, but it was Chen Deren's own fault at this point.Yiyou has already figured it out thoroughly, now that the Chen family is so depressed, apart from being happy, she is more calm.What happened to Chen Deren had nothing to do with her.
All the way through the courtyard and into the main room, several people naturally want to greet Yin Shi.
Except for Mrs. Zhang, several people possessed themselves: "Greetings to Madam."
There was no sound from above for a long time, and Yiyou knew that this was an attack.Looking up, she was meeting Yin Shi's eyes. To her surprise, she could hardly recognize Yin Shi.
When we met in summer, there was a touch of grace and luxury in her rich appearance.But now goodbye, the corners of her eyes are drooping, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose can't be covered by any amount of rouge and gouache.Grace and luxury were gone, and her whole body was full of stagnation.
"Sister Yin is not in good spirits, so you can ask me to help out for a while. I am so tired now that I can't even hear my greetings."
Zhang's robbed Yin's support: "It's nothing, it's just that I went to bed late last night with our master to sort out the matter of the hidden field. The Chen family is not those small families. We have to do things beautifully and appropriately.”
Zhang was not annoyed at being said to be a small family: "Hurry up and sit down, Sister Yin is such a kind person, she won't get up until she calls you, this has been seen by others, maybe they misunderstood her. "
Yiyou pursed her lips: "It's better that Madam and Madam Zhizhou are acquainted with each other, so we should know each other better. When Madam came here, she said that no matter how big or small the official is, as long as she abides by the court regulations, there will be no mistakes. That's what I think of."
Yin's chest heaved, but she knew that if she continued to talk about "big family and small family", she would be looking down on the court regulations made by the Holy Majesty.
"Hurry up and watch the seats."
Yin's mother exchanged glances with Mrs. Yin while she was moving the stool, and then nodded to Yin.Yiyou sat under Qiaojie's hands and saw this scene through the reflection of the teacup.Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, could something be wrong?
She went through the past few days one by one in her heart, because it was the first time to take over and she had no elders to help, so she was extra careful.After getting ready, he even went to the county government to ask Mrs. Zhang for advice.She was sure that even the occasional small blemish would not be big enough to have a bad effect.
After thinking twice, she dug out all the corners, but she still didn't find anything else.Finally she let it go, others insisted on calculating, it was useless for her to worry now, she might as well concentrate and watch, maybe she could find something.
For family banquets in a family, there are rules on what to wear at all times, so every time, all the officials from the seven counties under Yunzhou come. More than 20 wives and their children filled the main room, with Yin sitting at the top, Zhang didn't care about her, and sat down first on the left.
The rest of the people didn't dare to object when they came to see this. No matter how unconvinced they were, they would still beg for food under Xinzhizhou's subordinates.It's not worth fighting for a moment.
Seeing this, Yiyou can rest assured that there are not many stupid officials, and being greedy for money and lust is not a serious problem. As long as the overall situation is enough and the peak and the scales are not touched, they can generally live a good life.Obviously, those who can work in Yun County are all smart, and they will not rush into the battle and make the cannon just because of Chen Deren's few words.
Yin rubbed her head: "According to the usual practice, let's take a look at everyone's festive things first. Mom, ask someone to bring them up."
The altar was brought up, and Quanxian was the first to put it up. The things they gave were quite satisfactory, but they were just vases and jade wares, which were more exquisite in style.
Then the second county and the third county are similar to Quan County.It was only then that Yiyou felt that the Zhang family was rich, and the things she gave casually could equal the sum of any two of them.
The gifts from the six counties were arranged in strips according to each county, and placed neatly on the altar.At this time, the altar table was [-]% full, and the gold and silver porcelain on it reflected the scorching winter sun, making Yiyou dizzy for a while.She finally understood why Yin Shi was so magnanimous to her in the previous life, and the good things she saw were leaked from Yin Shi's fingers.
If you already have a mountain of gold, who will care about the earrings the size of a fingernail.
"Yun County!"
Finally arrived at Yun County, two servant girls carried the boxes up, and Mother Yin read, putting things on the box one by one.As expected, Mrs. Zhang once again dominated the audience. When others gave a porcelain vase, she gave away a hundred-year-old porcelain vase.When others give you a collar that is as thick as a little finger, she will give you a collar that is as thick as a thumb.
Each piece is quite weighty, and the numb faces of the surrounding ladies also show that they have long been used to this matter.
"Sister Lao spends money."
"It's okay, my sister just gave birth to a son, so I can treat it as a little gadget for my nephew."
Yin's brows and eyes stretched, and she glanced this way intentionally or unintentionally.Yiyou was sitting upright, her right eyelid twitched more and more violently, always feeling that the crisis was approaching.
"Muran, Wei of Yun County, present a pair of vases..."
It was a gift from her, brought up by the pottery merchant.The two vases were burnt with flowers and riches, which had a very good meaning, except for the ones given to Mrs. Zhang, this was the most precious of all the gifts she gave.
Looking up into the box, I saw the little maid who offered the object was full of horror.Immediately, Yiyou felt something was wrong, grabbed sister Qiao's sleeve, and she looked at Yin Shi.
Yin Shi drank tea leisurely, without any change on his face.
"lady."
Putting on the teacup, Yin Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
"The vase is..."
Mother Yin, who was singing the single, walked over and staggered in shock.Sitting at the bottom, the chief secretary's wife stretched her neck and looked at it, and then said in surprise: "It turned out to be Tang Sancai!"
"what!"
A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone in the room stretched their necks to look over there.Yiyou stood up, looked at the Tang Sancai drum musician figurine in the box, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead.
Tang Sancai!Although this item is not popular in Da Viet, a three-year-old child knows that it is the favorite item for the funeral of the princes and nobles of the former dynasty.
So she sent it up. To put it lightly, it can be seen how much she despises Shangfeng in her heart when she gives someone such an inauspicious item during the Chinese New Year. The censor can directly cure Mu Ran, who is concerned with the crime of treason by the previous dynasty.
A cold current spread from the heel to all the limbs, and she felt that the Yin family from the previous life had returned.She is always silently watching from the sidelines, let you be arrogant and self-satisfied, if you don't make a move, you will be killed, what's more, you will be in a situation where you can't control your life and death.
The mouth of the green bamboo snake, the needle on the tail of the wasp.Both are acceptable, the most poisonous woman's heart!
At this moment, she directly lost her ability to think, until Sister Qiao awakened her sanity: "I looked at the vase you put in, why did it become Tang Sancai along the way."
Yiyou shook her head: "I don't know why."
Mrs. Zhang stood up and said, "I was present when the county government packed the boxes. We have to investigate carefully the matter of dropping the package."
Yin put down the teacup, and was supported by Yin's mother to walk among the remaining three people in Yun County: "Oh, did you all see it?"
Mrs. Tie and Mrs. Shutong both nodded: "It is indeed a vase, a pair of big peonies."
Only the chief secretary's wife stood up and sneered: "Look at what you said. Our things are packed in small boxes. Who has seen who. I don't know if you see it or not. Anyway, I don't know." This has never been seen before.”
"Oh? Finally someone dares to tell the truth. It seems that the next year in Yunzhou is destined to be quiet."
Mrs. Zhang didn't talk to the master's wife: "Sister let me wait for disbelief, and only trust her alone. You can't rely on her so wholeheartedly just because the deed of sale is still in your hands. Be careful of slaves bullying the master."
Mother Yin smiled and said: "No one in Yunzhou knows that Mrs. Mu almost came into our house wearing a pink robe to be a child. Madam felt sorry for her ignorance, and she voluntarily gave up when she heard that Mrs. Mu was a good marriage. It is so tolerant, I didn't expect She still holds a grudge. My poor wife, your bodhisattva heart will only make those young people more unscrupulous."
Yiyou finally gained insight today, there are women in the world who are more shameless than the Cheng family women.
But there was also the chief secretary's wife who testified at the side: "I was also there on the day of Wending, and Mother Yin came to congratulate her in person. She was obviously fine at the time, but I didn't expect her to deny anyone in the blink of an eye."
Yin waved his hand: "It's all in the past, it's all because I don't know people clearly, so don't mention them again."
The three of you said something to each other, and they wanted to smash this matter into reality.
Seeing that they didn't give them a chance to interrupt, Yiyou picked up a porcelain bowl and threw it at Yin's feet.The hot tea was splashed all over the floor, and the clear sound of porcelain shattering made the three of them stop discussing.
"You three don't make up here, you should let me say a few words. Mama Yin is indeed an elderly person, and the ability to turn black and white is something that ordinary people don't have."
