Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm
Chapter 90
Chapter 90
Sending off the Mu family's sister-in-law is almost an hour before offering sacrifices to the ancestors.Yiyou simply spread out the red paper and ink, and then called Mu Yu.
"You write two more Spring Festival couplets and paste them on the door of our hometown."
When Mu Ran came in, he just heard the word "hometown", and he couldn't express it in his heart.He knows how meticulous the little daughter-in-law is, she has to freshen up every day.When she was in Yunlin Village, she had no conditions, but after moving to the city, no matter whether it is magnificent or not, the place where she lives must first be very clean and tidy.
Therefore, after getting married, he paid special attention to it. Although it was only a few days, the former yamen servants in the yamen had to joke when they saw him: the clothes didn't even smell of sweat at all, and they were cleaner than the little lady at home.
He wasn't bothered either, there was nothing wrong with being clean, it was better than being dirty anyway.In fact, he was a little apprehensive about bringing his young daughter-in-law here for the New Year.The house in Yunling Village is not as good as the ones in the county town even if it looks like a flower.
Hearing her talking about her hometown now, she was calm and did not complain at all. On the contrary, he took it for granted, and a sense of agreement slowly rose in his heart.This is his hometown, and there will be a daughter-in-law in his hometown in the future.
"There is no paste here, I will boil some."
Yiyou shook her head, and took out a drum wrapped in cloth from the box.Open the sealed porcelain cover above, and a scent unique to the paste came out: "I didn't have some left over from last night. Just now, while you were packing up and saluting, I brought it here by the way."
Once the paste is in place, everyone won't have to bother anymore.Mu Yu picked up the pen. Although he has not been learning calligraphy for a long time, he has a talent for it.Although the block letters in one hand are a little immature, the handwriting is very clear horizontally and vertically.
Wind and rain send spring back, and Feixue welcomes spring.
Horizontal batch: Spring in the Northland
A few couplets of Spring Festival couplets are finished, Yiyou and Mu Ran each have one.Walking to the gate, seeing the crooked Spring Festival couplets on the opposite side, the two immediately cast approving glances at Mu Yu who followed.
Although it was the founding emperor's order to post Spring Festival couplets, most people in Da Yue could not write.Every family needs to use Spring Festival couplets every year, so they have to prepare good wine and good food, and ask those who can read to write two strokes.Regardless of the good or the bad, just celebrate for the sake of the picture.
The only ones in Yunling Village who can write are those big families. There are people in the Li family who can write better, but he alone can't handle it.
"This word should come from the hand of Mu's parents and grandsons."
"Oh, he is really a scholar."
"When he was young, he was sent to the city by his uncle to study. After two years, he knew quite a few words."
Yiyou knew it well, the child should be around nine years old.He entered Mongolian school at the age of six or seven, and after two years of learning Chinese characters, he still looks like this.Really, talent is not high.
"Mu Yu studied hard. The bones in the hands of your sister-in-law and your brother are all set, and even after practicing calligraphy, they still look limp. After you learn well, we will teach you to write all the Spring Festival couplets in the future."
Mu Yu hurriedly patted his chest and agreed. At the same time, he was a little puzzled, is writing really that difficult?Why can't brothers and sisters-in-law know, and every time Changsheng picks up a pen, he falls asleep in less than a cup of tea.Hey, maybe this is what they say that the ruler is short and the inch is long, and his forte is writing.
Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the blackened wooden door, adding a sense of joy out of thin air.Yiyou went into the room to comb her hair with a simple hair accessory, thought about it, brought a silver hairpin, changed into clean blue coarse clothes, and came out.
"The time is about the same. I don't know the way, so I just follow you to Mu's house."
"Okay, let's go together."
There was no emotion in Mu Ran's voice, but Yi You felt that he might be a little angry.Regardless of whether you are an official or not, if you go back to your hometown after such a long time, you must find someone to take care of you in your hometown.But now, although there is someone from the Mu family, that person is clearly here to find out, and his words and deeds are annoying.
Yunling Village is bigger than Yunlin Village, the Li family lived in the east of the village, and the Mu family lived in the west of the village.Da Yue didn't set up a front office like the previous dynasty, and all miscellaneous affairs were managed by the county government, so the heads of the two families were the heads of the village.
Yiyou silently recalled the knowledge of the Mu family that Mu Ran gave her before she came here, thinking about the way she came here, her yard was at the corner, and the alley was where the Li family gathered.
Just thinking about it, when she turned her head, a white-haired old man looked at her: "Yunniang."
Yiyou was a little confused, Mu Ran took a step ahead of her and bowed slightly: "Madam Li."
Then he stood up straight: "Yiyou, this is the mother of the head of the Li family, and mother is her own daughter.
Oh
It turns out that, Yiyou knows that she looks a little like Li Shi, so she will be recognized by others.It turned out that this was her grandma. Since she was a child, others went back to her mother's house in the third grade of junior high school. Her mother never went back, and the Li family never paid any attention to her.
In her previous life, after she entered Zhizhou Mansion, someone from the Li family came to look for her.But no matter how ignorant she was, she still turned to Li Shi in her heart, so she didn't like those people at all, and directly ordered the servant to drive them away.It was the past life, and this was the first time she saw her grandma.
"It's cold outside, you'd better go in quickly."
Mrs. Li put her hands behind her back: "It's okay, I just want to see my granddaughter."
Yiyou thought that her refusal was obvious enough, because she had already behaved as politely as a passerby.But she never expected that this person would directly expose it.
Looking up at the old lady, she is very thin, and the shadow of Li can be seen faintly on her body, it should be true mother and daughter.But unlike Li's smile that hangs on her face all day long, her hair is scrupulously pulled back, the corners of her eyes droop, and her thin lips are tightly pursed, which makes her look mean.
"I really don't want to be familiar with you. Now that the Mu family is going to worship their ancestors, the time cannot be delayed. Forgive me for not accompanying you."
When Yiyou was looking at her, Mrs. Li was also looking at the bride in front of her.She was prettier than Yunniang, her skin was green and tender, and she seemed to be living a good life.Although the silver hairpin on her head didn't look like much, she could tell that it was a style she had never seen before.This new style of silver hairpin is sometimes more expensive than gold hairpins.
She is a favored one, and her daughter should have helped her mother's family.These years, Yunniang has never come back to see her. I heard that she is not promising anymore, so she should come back more often.
Although the thoughts were complicated, they only flashed through the old lady's mind for a moment.Before Yiyou turned around, she took a step forward, with tears in her eyes: "Yunniang hasn't come back for so many years, if you go back to see her, let her go back to Li's house in Yunling Village to have a look, the old woman and her brother have been waiting for her."
The old lady was in tears, if this appearance were changed to someone else, Yiyou would definitely feel sorry for her.But the person in front of her was not someone else. After the matter of the Xue family was exposed, Mrs. Li told her what the Li family did back then.When she was young, no matter whether she was left to fend for herself, when she reached Jiji's age, without even a proper Jiji ceremony, the Li family couldn't wait to sell her.
At that time, Mrs. Li said this: "The Xue family sent several bags of rice and two bolts of cloth. Maybe Erya didn't like these, but ten years ago, when Yunzhou was not as smooth as it is now, these things are expensive. A lot of money. The Li family agreed at the time, intending to give the dowry without permission, and stunned me to send it to the sedan chair. Fortunately, I was lucky. When I heard my mother say this when I was delivering the clothes, I immediately broke a bowl and pointed My own neck said, if you dare to sell me, I will make trouble with the Xue family on the spot and commit suicide."
At that time, she was thrilled to hear it, but after thinking about it afterwards, how desperate was Li Shi to come up with such a bold idea.
After Li's family got married, the Shen family also offered a dowry, but the family still let her leave the house.When she was born at the beginning of the year, Li Shi was just a little baby who didn't understand anything, so what does it have to do with her!
If it's wrong, I can only blame the Li family for not saving the baby and not inviting the best doctor to try their best to save my brother's life.
"Hey, young and vigorous, I was wrong back then. After all, it is my daughter, let me take another look at her before I die."
At this time, many people from the Li family also came out, and when they saw Yiyou, they stepped forward to persuade them.It probably means that the old man invites you like this, if Mrs. Li doesn't come, it's really unfilial.Yiyou stood beside Mu Ran, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became.
The greed in these people's eyes is too clear. They didn't care about it for more than 30 years, but now they want to rush to suck blood when they see people soaring. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!
"Mother told me that the Li family had already severed ties with her back then. The old lady once cut off a lock of her hair and said that she would repay her life's favor. Then she forced her to write a cut-off letter, saying that she would reunite with Li in the future. The family has nothing to do with it."
Mrs. Li pursed her thin lips tightly: "She was born to me, unless she dies, this mother-daughter relationship will never be broken."
Yiyou has never seen this kind of old man, like the one from the Shen family who is at most messy and obsessive, but this one completely thinks about what happens, everyone has to cooperate with her, otherwise it will be unfilial.
How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, even if you become an emperor, you can't really be so comfortable!
"In my opinion, there is nothing in this world that can't be broken. If you really say that it can't be broken, there is still one thing, which is your own desire. People read something until they die. Now my mother lives in a courtyard in the county seat. In the village, there are servants to take care of you, and you have money to spend. Who would not envy such a life. Brother Mu, I see that some people are in a hurry and want to become the old lord."
"It's only natural for a daughter to be filial to her mother!"
"You also know that you are a daughter. Why should you be filial if you are not a daughter. The old lady asks herself, will you ever treat my mother as your own daughter? I am afraid that you want to sell her to Xue's house for two new clothes. At that time, you will treat her as your own daughter, right?"
Mu Ran reassured her: "Don't worry about it, the time is coming, we should go to Mu's house."
Before Mrs. Li could speak, Mu Ran dragged Yiyou to continue walking.Mu Yu followed behind. Although he couldn't understand the maneuvers between the adults, he was still very smart and didn't ask any questions.
After crossing the alley and arriving at the Mu family's land, Yiyou completely extinguished her anger: "If they hadn't come together, I would have forgotten to go to the sky. This is the first time I have seen my own grandma when I grow up. Oh, She's not really a grandma either."
"Don't think too much, just keep forgetting."
Yiyou nodded, she would never tell Li Shi such a bad thing.If it was in the past, she still had the mind to deal with the Li family, but after experiencing the matter of the Zhizhou government, especially when she saw General Liao directly surrounding the government office to search, she also began to reflect:
He obviously has the strength to crush absolutely, why should he endure it again and again and make trouble for himself for no reason.
They were all in the same village, and they arrived at the Mu family's ancestral house not long after.Unlike the Ding Xingwang of the Shen family, the Mu family does not have many people, but this family has been entrenched in Yun County for many years and owns countless properties.
Therefore, the Mu family's ancestral house was built in a very grand style, with carved beams and painted buildings in the surrounding houses.Each layer is exquisite. Mu Ran once said that the Mu family's ancestral house was not built in one day, but has been accumulated year by year since the founding of Dayue until now, and has been repaired by three successive patriarchs.
"The gate has been repaired this year. You should be able to see the ones at the back if you look from a distance. Those places will have to wait until spring next year."
Yiyou took half a step back and followed, remembering little by little in her mind.She was only fifteen when she left Yunlin Village in her previous life, so she didn't know anything at all.Listening to Mu Ran's words these days, she realized that the Mu family is not half stronger than the Shen family.
It turned out that she could find the study key and break into Shen's study by scaring Xiachun's mother, which is probably impossible in Mu's house.
"Brother Ran is here, as well as the girl from the Shen family, come in quickly and have a cup of hot tea. What a coincidence you have come, the patriarch will open the ancestral hall soon."
Mu Ran frowned: "This is the second sister-in-law, the elder sister-in-law should be preparing something for ancestor worship."
Yiyou took a look, and it was exactly what Mu Yu said: the elder sister-in-law is fat, the second sister-in-law is thin, and the third sister-in-law is making trouble for the fourth sister-in-law.Looking back, the one who was busy commanding the people in the courtyard should be the third sister-in-law, and the one who followed behind and worked honestly should be the fourth sister-in-law.Mu Ran ranked fifth and Mu Yu ranked sixth.
"Second sister-in-law is really polite. It seems that when I come back today, I can enjoy the treatment of being a girl."
The second sister-in-law was stunned: "I'm a guest from afar, but brother, don't you think so?"
"It's really hard to tell if you're not welcome. I'll ask my brother. If there's nothing wrong, I'll rest with Yiyou." After speaking, Mu Ran stepped forward and stopped a middle-aged man in a silk shirt: "Brother, The second sister-in-law said that we are guests from afar. Now that the family is so busy, I should find a quiet place to stay first?"
The eldest son of the Mu family is the eldest son of the current patriarch. As long as he doesn't die suddenly, he will be the next patriarch for sure when he gets old.
As the patriarch, the education he received since he was a child is naturally different from that of others. Although he knows the plan of the clan, he still can't help but secretly call his second sibling an idiot.Is it possible for you, a little woman, to show off your Majesty?Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, but with defenses, how can you still get caught so easily?
"There's no need for the family to say those kind words. By the way, the tablet of the second uncle and the second aunt has been ordered to be made. Now it should be placed in the ancestral hall."
Yiyou followed behind: "Husband, let's go to pay respects to parents first."
"Well, of course."
Previously, she didn't have a strong sense of presence with her head down, but this will be revealed, and Boss Shen happened to be watching her.Looking at the face like a lotus emerging from water, he froze there.Why didn't I think the four girls of Shen's family were so beautiful before, this kid Mu Ran is very beautiful in front of him.
"Brother, since it's okay, let's go there first."
Until the two walked away, Yiyou could still feel the fiery eyes.She regretted a little, she should have put on an older bun just now, but she wouldn't be like this if she dressed up more maturely.Shaking Mu Ran's sleeve, she scratched her hair twice, let her bangs fall down, and then smiled at him.
Mu Ran naturally understood what she meant, bangs covered half of her face, so she was no longer so outstanding.Although she was right to think so, but the bangs covered her forehead, making her face as big as a palm look even more petite.He is used to seeing it normally, and he thinks it looks better this way. This idea is really bad.
"Get it up, it's not good to see your parents with disheveled hair."
Fingers brushed across the cheeks, grabbed the hair, and wrapped it lightly in the bun.Touching the soft black hair in his hand, Mu Ran became addicted and never let go for a long time.
Yiyou felt the more and more strange eyes from the people around her, so she hurriedly took a step back: "This is the Mu family."
Only then did Mu Ran let go, but he kept reminiscing about the strange comfort in his heart.Before they could think of anything, a child's quarrel suddenly came from ahead.
The clear and clear child's voice said: "Really, the new sister-in-law was transformed by that old Montenegro demon. I heard that she is very scary. She can pull out a child's eyeball with her hands."
"The fingernails are bone spirits." This is a little girl with a bun.
"Both of them are scary enough. I heard that Changsheng also likes to beat people casually. The two siblings are really scary."
Five or six little radish heads trembled, Mu Ran's face completely darkened, but Yiyou couldn't help but want to laugh.She leaned forward and asked, "Who did you hear that the new sister-in-law is a bone spirit?"
"I saw in Yunlin Village that Chunsheng's face was drawn like that by her. Her nails must be very long."
"Yes, he must be a bad person if he beats a child."
"Hey, who are you?" The little fat man felt that something was wrong: "You look so good-looking, you must be the new sister-in-law. Yes, the bone spirit can transform into a beauty and suck people dry. Run quickly and don't be caught by her."
A wave of little radish heads scatter in panic, Yiyou spreads out her hands, quite helplessly, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.
"Chunsheng's child is really worrying. Brother Mu, let's go pay respects to parents first. I don't mind if they say a few words."
"I'll go to the patriarch later and tell the patriarch that a child who is so old should marry a wife in a few years, so I can't just talk about it."
"Hey, what do you care about like them?"
When Yiyou heard it for the first time, it was indeed a little uncomfortable, but when she heard that it was Chunsheng's idea, her attention had already been diverted.This malignant tumor is becoming more and more serious, no matter how old a person is, it is not relentless to take advantage of a group of children.
If you don't let him know why the flowers are so popular, she won't be called Shen Yiyou.
"Go ahead."
The Shen family ancestral hall is located in the center of the house, and its feng shui is even better than that of the main house.Yiyou walked in and was immediately infected by the solemn atmosphere.
The huge ancestral hall is five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet high. The front, left, and right walls are densely packed with memorial tablets as long and thin as the upper arms of adult men. The white candles dance like wisps of dancing souls.
"The ancestral hall has just been renovated this year. The patriarch is in front. My father should be on the left."
Mu Ran led Yiyou to the front, and he saw a pair of plaques on the left side.Pulling the mat, Yiyou pulled Mu Yu and knelt down behind him.
"Father, mother, I brought my daughter-in-law to see you."
As soon as the words fell, there was a soft sound from above, and the tablet that was originally good fell to the ground and shattered in half in front of Mu Ran.
Yiyou's back broke out in a cold sweat, and she was never as scared as she is now when she was framed by the Yin family for sending Tang Sancai with arsenic.
The deceased is the oldest, this is the tablet of the ancestors, or the two elders that Mu Ran valued the most.It was placed there perfectly, but when she bowed down, it suddenly fell off and broke into two pieces. What could be more serious than this!
"Brother Mu."
She yelled, and Mu Ran stood there in a daze, staring at the tablet and not making a sound.
"Husband?"
Mu Ran finally responded, looked at him, bent down to pick up the tablet.
"Ah, what's the matter. It's the second uncle and the second aunt. Their tablet fell and broke. My God, come quickly, what should I do?"
With such a high voice, there is no one other than the third daughter-in-law of the Mu family.Yiyoumu stood there blankly, his mind was buzzing, feeling that after only a moment, all the members of the Mu family gathered around this house.
"quiet!"
The sound of the cane being tapped sounded, and the majestic old lady walked in. She was the current head wife of the Mu family.Different from the Shen family and the Li family, the old man of the Mu family lived a very long life. Even those in their [-]s were still in good spirits, and firmly held the power in the clan.
The husband-in-law is the patriarch, and the son is the next patriarch. Mrs. Mu is very confident.At this moment, she was wearing a dark purple double-breasted satin shirt, holding a dragon-headed crutch, and walked up to the two of them.She looked at Yiyou carefully, and then she looked at Mu Ran.
"Fifth, this is the scourge of heaven!"
There was a sternness in the old man's voice, and Yiyou's legs trembled when he heard it.
The past few days were really too happy, she had long suspected that she had abandoned Brother Mu without hesitation in her previous life, how could she deserve to be treated wholeheartedly by him again now.Now his parents in heaven can't stand it anymore, which is a metaphor for his dissatisfaction.
Otherwise, there is no explanation. On the two-foot-wide altar table, other tablets are firmly in place, but only these two tablets fell off.
It must be!She can be reborn with her memory, which shows that God is watching all this secretly.
"Brother Mu."
Mu Ran still didn't make a sound, he stared at the tablet in his hand, frowning more and more tightly.When she was about to open her mouth again, he even stretched out his left hand to stop her.
Seeing this, the Mu family around started chattering: "I heard that this daughter-in-law became a bone spirit."
This statement was immediately approved by the general lady: "It must be, I hurt my brother so hard. Besides, except for monsters, which woman can grow into this look. I have never seen a big girl or a young wife in Yunzhou all these years." She has three colors."
"You don't know that just now she was talking to the old lady of the Li family. The old lady in her 50s was begging like that, but she didn't have any self-consciousness of a junior, and she made a sarcastic statement."
At the beginning, I still whispered it, but after many people said it, everyone lost their scruples.Yiyou's head was full of buzzing sounds.In the end, only one sentence remained in her mind: God's punishment is coming.
"Silence!" The leading crutch was tapped again, and Mrs. Mu walked up to Mu Ran: "Brother, however, your parents do not agree to this marriage. Although our Mu family is not a wealthy family, we have to marry a daughter-in-law like this." Like."
Mu Ran stared at the memorial tablet, and nodded if there was nothing there.
"It's good that you can understand. There is no genealogy yet, and the matter is simple. As for Miss Shen, the Mu family will give her reasonable compensation."
Mu's second daughter-in-law stood up and said, "Mother, it's fine if this evildoer isn't burned, why should you be so polite to her?"
"Shut up for me." The old lady had a sullen face, more than failure than failure.Such a beauty, even an old woman would be tempted to look at her, if the pressure is too hard, Mu Ran will have to rebound.
Because of the burial that year, the two brothers were not close to the Mu family.Nian Mu's family had no shortage of land or money, but such an official status.She didn't expect Brother Ran to focus on the Mu family, she just wanted mutual benefit.The Mu family pays money, but Brother Ran does some things for the Mu family.After doing this many times, he has become dependent on this family, so he will naturally consider for them on his own.
"Spiritual things are pure nonsense. My Mu family can't take human lives lightly. But now Miss Shen in the Mu family's ancestral hall can't stay here. Please go to the guest room to rest."
When Yiyou woke up, she saw the Mu family's daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law standing in front of her, stretching out their arms to force her out.
"I'm not a monster, Brother Mu."
Mu Ran scratched his head, ignoring her at all, Yiyou was so anxious that tears almost fell down.Seeing that she was about to be taken out by force, a small hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve, and a small figure that knocked down her waist stood in front of her: "You are not allowed to touch my sister-in-law, she is not a monster. Look at my sister-in-law, please!" , are all jealous of her, you are bad people!"
It's Mu Yu!
At this time, the only one who stood up was him!Yiyou has mixed feelings in her heart, she has contacted this child with a purpose in this life, and she doesn't want to bear the deep guilt that cannot be resolved in her heart.But slowly, she also gave birth to a trace of sincerity.Although she has sincerity, in her heart she is closer to the longevity of a compatriot of the same mother.
Unexpectedly, this child really put her in his heart. In front of so many adults, Mu Ran didn't move, but he stood up without hesitation.
"Lao Liu, you are still young, this is the business of adults, don't worry about it."
"What's the matter with being small? Gan Luo is the prime minister of Qin at the age of twelve, and Cao Chong can be called an elephant at the age of six. I know nothing less than you. Besides my brother, my sister-in-law is the only person who treats me well. You can't do anything to her." Splash dirty water."
Yiyou's tears fell directly, and she wiped it casually, she smiled and looked at Mu Yu: "You are my brother, of course I have to treat you well."
From today on, Mu Yu is her biological brother.She can't help but love Changsheng, so she will have two younger brothers.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be afraid. Brother, don't be in a daze, talk quickly."
Mu Yu kept shaking Mu Ran, but everyone in the Mu family didn't do it.Some bitter people even started to say that Yiyou and his uncle were dirty, even eight-year-old children were not spared.
This time Yiyou will also calm down, so what if it is the punishment of God?It is Mu Ran who has the power to decide. Why is she listening to the Mu family here.Immediately she wiped away her tears, and stood there full of momentum: "It turns out that the Mu family is full of these things. The sister-in-law's son is eight years old, and there is a maid in the room to look after him? You are not afraid that he, an eight-year-old child, will behave badly to the little maid." Something wrong, or being seduced by a little maid?"
"Nothing, big brother won't be like this."
"Whether there is is something that can't be said with one mouth, your brother is, and so is Mu Yu!"
The Mu family was speechless, what else could they say?Who doesn't have an eight-year-old child, if he admits it today, he may be criticized a lot in the future.
"I really have nothing to say about today's tablets."
The second sister-in-law of the Mu family smiled sarcastically: "Since you have nothing to say, please leave the Mu family's ancestral hall."
"But you don't need to worry, Mr. Tie is the best choice for my marriage with Big Brother Mu. I'm afraid there is no Mr. Yin and Yang in the Mu family. Why don't you invite Mr. Tie to come while it's still early. After all, it's about the ancestral hall and you can't get out of it anywhere." error."
While talking, she carefully observed everyone's expressions, most of them were lost in thought, but only one, she was slowly backing away, with a very ugly expression on her face.
It's easy for Yiyou to recognize, this is Mu's fourth daughter-in-law who has never opened her mouth from the beginning to now.
"Fourth sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
"what!"
The woman jumped up as if she had received a big fright: "I... I don't know, I have to ask my sister-in-law for everything. Yes, just ask my sister-in-law."
Yiyou just relied on her own perception, she never thought that she would catch a big fish.This kind of uneasy appearance, even if it is a child, can easily be weird.
"Everyone talk, fourth sister-in-law, you go first."
The woman's face was pale, she shook her head and her lips were closed like clamshells, but she didn't have the slightest intention to speak again.
The old lady who was confronting Mu Ran slammed her cane for the third time: "Miss Shen, don't say that you have not entered the ancestral hall, you have already entered. The ancestors of the Mu family's ancestral hall are above all, and there is no place for you to talk."
Yiyou has already crossed the hurdle in her heart, but she is not afraid at all when she sees her again: "Oh, I know what the old lady is saying, but I am on the same level as my sister-in-law. The first to start talking are all the sister-in-laws."
The eyes of the two met in the air. Even if she was reborn for a while, Yiyou would not be able to match the old lady Mu in her 60s.Knowing that she couldn't hold on, she straightened her back and looked at Mu Ran from the corner of her eye.
She has already counted this time, if Mu Ran is really going to get angry, he is afraid that he will say something to her in the first place.Such a long silence, he didn't respond to anyone, he should be calculating something.Although she is not sure, Yiyou only feels that it is so.
She firmly believed that his patience and protection during this period of marriage was not a lie, and his friendship with her was so real that it was impossible to shatter it all at this moment.
Thinking of this, her confidence increased sharply. Recalling Zhang and Yin's family backgrounds, she straightened her back with a smile on her face.
In the end, Mrs. Mu gradually lost her battle: "What are you two doing here? Please invite Lao Liu and Miss Shen out."
This time, not only the two daughter-in-laws of the Mu family came up, but also the wives of two strong men.Seeing his elder brother looking at the tablet over and over again, Mu Yu stomped his feet anxiously without responding.
Just before the old woman touched Yiyou, Mu Ran suddenly raised her head: "Wait a minute."
Yiyou's eyes lit up, Brother Mu came back.The look she glanced at her just now was full of guilt. It was the elder brother Mu who she knew well.
Mu Ran held up a tablet: "Auntie, do you think this is a punishment from God?"
Then he looked at everyone in the Mu family: "You all think that this is the punishment of God?"
Everyone nodded in unison, and the tablet fell down, whether it was divine punishment or something.The head of the Shen family, who had never said anything, was quite sad: "Hey, I'm really sorry for my second brother, I didn't take a good look at his tablet."
"Are you sure it's God's punishment?"
Seeing everyone nodding again, Mu Ran jumped up and overturned the altar to the ground.
"God is so skillful. He deliberately tampered with the altar of our Mu family's ancestral hall. Seeing how clever the carpenter's mechanism is, even I was almost tricked."
Yiyou stepped forward and saw a piece protruding from the altar table, and another organ was connected to the wall.As long as the person on the other side of the wall manipulates the mechanism to push it up, such a high tablet will not have to fall down.
"How could the tablet be broken?"
Mu Ran put the tablet in one place: "Originally, the base and the wooden tablet above were separated, and then they were glued together and plugged with a rivet. Take a look at this glue, we just used it at noon."
"It's paste!"
When Mu Yu's determined voice came, Yiyou seemed to feel a smell of paste reaching her nose.Seeing the paste below, which was the same color as the glue, she felt relieved.It's fine if it's not true, she will treat Mu Ran and Mu Yu well in the future.
Then she felt a little helpless, the Mu family was so dissatisfied with her, and it didn't feel unlucky to make this happen during the Chinese New Year.
After inserting the two memorial tablets, she knelt down directly: "Father and mother, it's your daughter-in-law who brought you into this disaster. If it's the New Year's Eve, you won't be able to live in peace underneath."
Mu Ran pulled her up: "I can't blame you for this. It's the Mu family who has a ghost. Uncle, I haven't seen my fourth brother since just now. Could it be that he has become a grandfather?"
Mu's fourth daughter-in-law, who had been trembling all the time, knelt down and said, "It's not me, fifth, they forced your brother. Your brother has no skills, so he can only help them."
Mrs. Mu's cane hit her on the head: "You bastard, dare to do it or not."
Mu Ran grabbed her walking stick: "Auntie doesn't have to be like this. After all, I have also stayed in Mu's house for many years. The fourth brother can't do such a thing. Let me think about it. The second brother came up with the idea. , and then the third brother was beating and drumming on the side. The tablet was made by the elder brother. He has a lot of connections. If this thing is going to happen, my next wife will definitely be my sister-in-law. You three are busy, and then you just find an invisible person My fourth brother, who specializes in manipulating this organ next door."
There was no one in the Mu family to refute, and in the end it was the Mu patriarch who said, "What happened to the Shen family, we are worried about you..."
"I understand what Uncle means, but Yiyou has nothing to do with the Shen family's affairs. Since she is married to me, I should protect her. Speaking of Mu's family affairs over the years, there have been a lot of things going on in Mu's family. Today, I took advantage of this to alarm me. Father and mother, let's sit in the ancestral hall and have a good talk."
"Old five..."
"If you speak well, it will save me to go to Yunzhou to invite Liao Jianjun to completely help you exorcise ghosts. Uncle, what do you think?"
(End of this chapter)
Sending off the Mu family's sister-in-law is almost an hour before offering sacrifices to the ancestors.Yiyou simply spread out the red paper and ink, and then called Mu Yu.
"You write two more Spring Festival couplets and paste them on the door of our hometown."
When Mu Ran came in, he just heard the word "hometown", and he couldn't express it in his heart.He knows how meticulous the little daughter-in-law is, she has to freshen up every day.When she was in Yunlin Village, she had no conditions, but after moving to the city, no matter whether it is magnificent or not, the place where she lives must first be very clean and tidy.
Therefore, after getting married, he paid special attention to it. Although it was only a few days, the former yamen servants in the yamen had to joke when they saw him: the clothes didn't even smell of sweat at all, and they were cleaner than the little lady at home.
He wasn't bothered either, there was nothing wrong with being clean, it was better than being dirty anyway.In fact, he was a little apprehensive about bringing his young daughter-in-law here for the New Year.The house in Yunling Village is not as good as the ones in the county town even if it looks like a flower.
Hearing her talking about her hometown now, she was calm and did not complain at all. On the contrary, he took it for granted, and a sense of agreement slowly rose in his heart.This is his hometown, and there will be a daughter-in-law in his hometown in the future.
"There is no paste here, I will boil some."
Yiyou shook her head, and took out a drum wrapped in cloth from the box.Open the sealed porcelain cover above, and a scent unique to the paste came out: "I didn't have some left over from last night. Just now, while you were packing up and saluting, I brought it here by the way."
Once the paste is in place, everyone won't have to bother anymore.Mu Yu picked up the pen. Although he has not been learning calligraphy for a long time, he has a talent for it.Although the block letters in one hand are a little immature, the handwriting is very clear horizontally and vertically.
Wind and rain send spring back, and Feixue welcomes spring.
Horizontal batch: Spring in the Northland
A few couplets of Spring Festival couplets are finished, Yiyou and Mu Ran each have one.Walking to the gate, seeing the crooked Spring Festival couplets on the opposite side, the two immediately cast approving glances at Mu Yu who followed.
Although it was the founding emperor's order to post Spring Festival couplets, most people in Da Yue could not write.Every family needs to use Spring Festival couplets every year, so they have to prepare good wine and good food, and ask those who can read to write two strokes.Regardless of the good or the bad, just celebrate for the sake of the picture.
The only ones in Yunling Village who can write are those big families. There are people in the Li family who can write better, but he alone can't handle it.
"This word should come from the hand of Mu's parents and grandsons."
"Oh, he is really a scholar."
"When he was young, he was sent to the city by his uncle to study. After two years, he knew quite a few words."
Yiyou knew it well, the child should be around nine years old.He entered Mongolian school at the age of six or seven, and after two years of learning Chinese characters, he still looks like this.Really, talent is not high.
"Mu Yu studied hard. The bones in the hands of your sister-in-law and your brother are all set, and even after practicing calligraphy, they still look limp. After you learn well, we will teach you to write all the Spring Festival couplets in the future."
Mu Yu hurriedly patted his chest and agreed. At the same time, he was a little puzzled, is writing really that difficult?Why can't brothers and sisters-in-law know, and every time Changsheng picks up a pen, he falls asleep in less than a cup of tea.Hey, maybe this is what they say that the ruler is short and the inch is long, and his forte is writing.
Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the blackened wooden door, adding a sense of joy out of thin air.Yiyou went into the room to comb her hair with a simple hair accessory, thought about it, brought a silver hairpin, changed into clean blue coarse clothes, and came out.
"The time is about the same. I don't know the way, so I just follow you to Mu's house."
"Okay, let's go together."
There was no emotion in Mu Ran's voice, but Yi You felt that he might be a little angry.Regardless of whether you are an official or not, if you go back to your hometown after such a long time, you must find someone to take care of you in your hometown.But now, although there is someone from the Mu family, that person is clearly here to find out, and his words and deeds are annoying.
Yunling Village is bigger than Yunlin Village, the Li family lived in the east of the village, and the Mu family lived in the west of the village.Da Yue didn't set up a front office like the previous dynasty, and all miscellaneous affairs were managed by the county government, so the heads of the two families were the heads of the village.
Yiyou silently recalled the knowledge of the Mu family that Mu Ran gave her before she came here, thinking about the way she came here, her yard was at the corner, and the alley was where the Li family gathered.
Just thinking about it, when she turned her head, a white-haired old man looked at her: "Yunniang."
Yiyou was a little confused, Mu Ran took a step ahead of her and bowed slightly: "Madam Li."
Then he stood up straight: "Yiyou, this is the mother of the head of the Li family, and mother is her own daughter.
Oh
It turns out that, Yiyou knows that she looks a little like Li Shi, so she will be recognized by others.It turned out that this was her grandma. Since she was a child, others went back to her mother's house in the third grade of junior high school. Her mother never went back, and the Li family never paid any attention to her.
In her previous life, after she entered Zhizhou Mansion, someone from the Li family came to look for her.But no matter how ignorant she was, she still turned to Li Shi in her heart, so she didn't like those people at all, and directly ordered the servant to drive them away.It was the past life, and this was the first time she saw her grandma.
"It's cold outside, you'd better go in quickly."
Mrs. Li put her hands behind her back: "It's okay, I just want to see my granddaughter."
Yiyou thought that her refusal was obvious enough, because she had already behaved as politely as a passerby.But she never expected that this person would directly expose it.
Looking up at the old lady, she is very thin, and the shadow of Li can be seen faintly on her body, it should be true mother and daughter.But unlike Li's smile that hangs on her face all day long, her hair is scrupulously pulled back, the corners of her eyes droop, and her thin lips are tightly pursed, which makes her look mean.
"I really don't want to be familiar with you. Now that the Mu family is going to worship their ancestors, the time cannot be delayed. Forgive me for not accompanying you."
When Yiyou was looking at her, Mrs. Li was also looking at the bride in front of her.She was prettier than Yunniang, her skin was green and tender, and she seemed to be living a good life.Although the silver hairpin on her head didn't look like much, she could tell that it was a style she had never seen before.This new style of silver hairpin is sometimes more expensive than gold hairpins.
She is a favored one, and her daughter should have helped her mother's family.These years, Yunniang has never come back to see her. I heard that she is not promising anymore, so she should come back more often.
Although the thoughts were complicated, they only flashed through the old lady's mind for a moment.Before Yiyou turned around, she took a step forward, with tears in her eyes: "Yunniang hasn't come back for so many years, if you go back to see her, let her go back to Li's house in Yunling Village to have a look, the old woman and her brother have been waiting for her."
The old lady was in tears, if this appearance were changed to someone else, Yiyou would definitely feel sorry for her.But the person in front of her was not someone else. After the matter of the Xue family was exposed, Mrs. Li told her what the Li family did back then.When she was young, no matter whether she was left to fend for herself, when she reached Jiji's age, without even a proper Jiji ceremony, the Li family couldn't wait to sell her.
At that time, Mrs. Li said this: "The Xue family sent several bags of rice and two bolts of cloth. Maybe Erya didn't like these, but ten years ago, when Yunzhou was not as smooth as it is now, these things are expensive. A lot of money. The Li family agreed at the time, intending to give the dowry without permission, and stunned me to send it to the sedan chair. Fortunately, I was lucky. When I heard my mother say this when I was delivering the clothes, I immediately broke a bowl and pointed My own neck said, if you dare to sell me, I will make trouble with the Xue family on the spot and commit suicide."
At that time, she was thrilled to hear it, but after thinking about it afterwards, how desperate was Li Shi to come up with such a bold idea.
After Li's family got married, the Shen family also offered a dowry, but the family still let her leave the house.When she was born at the beginning of the year, Li Shi was just a little baby who didn't understand anything, so what does it have to do with her!
If it's wrong, I can only blame the Li family for not saving the baby and not inviting the best doctor to try their best to save my brother's life.
"Hey, young and vigorous, I was wrong back then. After all, it is my daughter, let me take another look at her before I die."
At this time, many people from the Li family also came out, and when they saw Yiyou, they stepped forward to persuade them.It probably means that the old man invites you like this, if Mrs. Li doesn't come, it's really unfilial.Yiyou stood beside Mu Ran, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became.
The greed in these people's eyes is too clear. They didn't care about it for more than 30 years, but now they want to rush to suck blood when they see people soaring. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!
"Mother told me that the Li family had already severed ties with her back then. The old lady once cut off a lock of her hair and said that she would repay her life's favor. Then she forced her to write a cut-off letter, saying that she would reunite with Li in the future. The family has nothing to do with it."
Mrs. Li pursed her thin lips tightly: "She was born to me, unless she dies, this mother-daughter relationship will never be broken."
Yiyou has never seen this kind of old man, like the one from the Shen family who is at most messy and obsessive, but this one completely thinks about what happens, everyone has to cooperate with her, otherwise it will be unfilial.
How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, even if you become an emperor, you can't really be so comfortable!
"In my opinion, there is nothing in this world that can't be broken. If you really say that it can't be broken, there is still one thing, which is your own desire. People read something until they die. Now my mother lives in a courtyard in the county seat. In the village, there are servants to take care of you, and you have money to spend. Who would not envy such a life. Brother Mu, I see that some people are in a hurry and want to become the old lord."
"It's only natural for a daughter to be filial to her mother!"
"You also know that you are a daughter. Why should you be filial if you are not a daughter. The old lady asks herself, will you ever treat my mother as your own daughter? I am afraid that you want to sell her to Xue's house for two new clothes. At that time, you will treat her as your own daughter, right?"
Mu Ran reassured her: "Don't worry about it, the time is coming, we should go to Mu's house."
Before Mrs. Li could speak, Mu Ran dragged Yiyou to continue walking.Mu Yu followed behind. Although he couldn't understand the maneuvers between the adults, he was still very smart and didn't ask any questions.
After crossing the alley and arriving at the Mu family's land, Yiyou completely extinguished her anger: "If they hadn't come together, I would have forgotten to go to the sky. This is the first time I have seen my own grandma when I grow up. Oh, She's not really a grandma either."
"Don't think too much, just keep forgetting."
Yiyou nodded, she would never tell Li Shi such a bad thing.If it was in the past, she still had the mind to deal with the Li family, but after experiencing the matter of the Zhizhou government, especially when she saw General Liao directly surrounding the government office to search, she also began to reflect:
He obviously has the strength to crush absolutely, why should he endure it again and again and make trouble for himself for no reason.
They were all in the same village, and they arrived at the Mu family's ancestral house not long after.Unlike the Ding Xingwang of the Shen family, the Mu family does not have many people, but this family has been entrenched in Yun County for many years and owns countless properties.
Therefore, the Mu family's ancestral house was built in a very grand style, with carved beams and painted buildings in the surrounding houses.Each layer is exquisite. Mu Ran once said that the Mu family's ancestral house was not built in one day, but has been accumulated year by year since the founding of Dayue until now, and has been repaired by three successive patriarchs.
"The gate has been repaired this year. You should be able to see the ones at the back if you look from a distance. Those places will have to wait until spring next year."
Yiyou took half a step back and followed, remembering little by little in her mind.She was only fifteen when she left Yunlin Village in her previous life, so she didn't know anything at all.Listening to Mu Ran's words these days, she realized that the Mu family is not half stronger than the Shen family.
It turned out that she could find the study key and break into Shen's study by scaring Xiachun's mother, which is probably impossible in Mu's house.
"Brother Ran is here, as well as the girl from the Shen family, come in quickly and have a cup of hot tea. What a coincidence you have come, the patriarch will open the ancestral hall soon."
Mu Ran frowned: "This is the second sister-in-law, the elder sister-in-law should be preparing something for ancestor worship."
Yiyou took a look, and it was exactly what Mu Yu said: the elder sister-in-law is fat, the second sister-in-law is thin, and the third sister-in-law is making trouble for the fourth sister-in-law.Looking back, the one who was busy commanding the people in the courtyard should be the third sister-in-law, and the one who followed behind and worked honestly should be the fourth sister-in-law.Mu Ran ranked fifth and Mu Yu ranked sixth.
"Second sister-in-law is really polite. It seems that when I come back today, I can enjoy the treatment of being a girl."
The second sister-in-law was stunned: "I'm a guest from afar, but brother, don't you think so?"
"It's really hard to tell if you're not welcome. I'll ask my brother. If there's nothing wrong, I'll rest with Yiyou." After speaking, Mu Ran stepped forward and stopped a middle-aged man in a silk shirt: "Brother, The second sister-in-law said that we are guests from afar. Now that the family is so busy, I should find a quiet place to stay first?"
The eldest son of the Mu family is the eldest son of the current patriarch. As long as he doesn't die suddenly, he will be the next patriarch for sure when he gets old.
As the patriarch, the education he received since he was a child is naturally different from that of others. Although he knows the plan of the clan, he still can't help but secretly call his second sibling an idiot.Is it possible for you, a little woman, to show off your Majesty?Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, but with defenses, how can you still get caught so easily?
"There's no need for the family to say those kind words. By the way, the tablet of the second uncle and the second aunt has been ordered to be made. Now it should be placed in the ancestral hall."
Yiyou followed behind: "Husband, let's go to pay respects to parents first."
"Well, of course."
Previously, she didn't have a strong sense of presence with her head down, but this will be revealed, and Boss Shen happened to be watching her.Looking at the face like a lotus emerging from water, he froze there.Why didn't I think the four girls of Shen's family were so beautiful before, this kid Mu Ran is very beautiful in front of him.
"Brother, since it's okay, let's go there first."
Until the two walked away, Yiyou could still feel the fiery eyes.She regretted a little, she should have put on an older bun just now, but she wouldn't be like this if she dressed up more maturely.Shaking Mu Ran's sleeve, she scratched her hair twice, let her bangs fall down, and then smiled at him.
Mu Ran naturally understood what she meant, bangs covered half of her face, so she was no longer so outstanding.Although she was right to think so, but the bangs covered her forehead, making her face as big as a palm look even more petite.He is used to seeing it normally, and he thinks it looks better this way. This idea is really bad.
"Get it up, it's not good to see your parents with disheveled hair."
Fingers brushed across the cheeks, grabbed the hair, and wrapped it lightly in the bun.Touching the soft black hair in his hand, Mu Ran became addicted and never let go for a long time.
Yiyou felt the more and more strange eyes from the people around her, so she hurriedly took a step back: "This is the Mu family."
Only then did Mu Ran let go, but he kept reminiscing about the strange comfort in his heart.Before they could think of anything, a child's quarrel suddenly came from ahead.
The clear and clear child's voice said: "Really, the new sister-in-law was transformed by that old Montenegro demon. I heard that she is very scary. She can pull out a child's eyeball with her hands."
"The fingernails are bone spirits." This is a little girl with a bun.
"Both of them are scary enough. I heard that Changsheng also likes to beat people casually. The two siblings are really scary."
Five or six little radish heads trembled, Mu Ran's face completely darkened, but Yiyou couldn't help but want to laugh.She leaned forward and asked, "Who did you hear that the new sister-in-law is a bone spirit?"
"I saw in Yunlin Village that Chunsheng's face was drawn like that by her. Her nails must be very long."
"Yes, he must be a bad person if he beats a child."
"Hey, who are you?" The little fat man felt that something was wrong: "You look so good-looking, you must be the new sister-in-law. Yes, the bone spirit can transform into a beauty and suck people dry. Run quickly and don't be caught by her."
A wave of little radish heads scatter in panic, Yiyou spreads out her hands, quite helplessly, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.
"Chunsheng's child is really worrying. Brother Mu, let's go pay respects to parents first. I don't mind if they say a few words."
"I'll go to the patriarch later and tell the patriarch that a child who is so old should marry a wife in a few years, so I can't just talk about it."
"Hey, what do you care about like them?"
When Yiyou heard it for the first time, it was indeed a little uncomfortable, but when she heard that it was Chunsheng's idea, her attention had already been diverted.This malignant tumor is becoming more and more serious, no matter how old a person is, it is not relentless to take advantage of a group of children.
If you don't let him know why the flowers are so popular, she won't be called Shen Yiyou.
"Go ahead."
The Shen family ancestral hall is located in the center of the house, and its feng shui is even better than that of the main house.Yiyou walked in and was immediately infected by the solemn atmosphere.
The huge ancestral hall is five feet long, three feet wide, and two feet high. The front, left, and right walls are densely packed with memorial tablets as long and thin as the upper arms of adult men. The white candles dance like wisps of dancing souls.
"The ancestral hall has just been renovated this year. The patriarch is in front. My father should be on the left."
Mu Ran led Yiyou to the front, and he saw a pair of plaques on the left side.Pulling the mat, Yiyou pulled Mu Yu and knelt down behind him.
"Father, mother, I brought my daughter-in-law to see you."
As soon as the words fell, there was a soft sound from above, and the tablet that was originally good fell to the ground and shattered in half in front of Mu Ran.
Yiyou's back broke out in a cold sweat, and she was never as scared as she is now when she was framed by the Yin family for sending Tang Sancai with arsenic.
The deceased is the oldest, this is the tablet of the ancestors, or the two elders that Mu Ran valued the most.It was placed there perfectly, but when she bowed down, it suddenly fell off and broke into two pieces. What could be more serious than this!
"Brother Mu."
She yelled, and Mu Ran stood there in a daze, staring at the tablet and not making a sound.
"Husband?"
Mu Ran finally responded, looked at him, bent down to pick up the tablet.
"Ah, what's the matter. It's the second uncle and the second aunt. Their tablet fell and broke. My God, come quickly, what should I do?"
With such a high voice, there is no one other than the third daughter-in-law of the Mu family.Yiyoumu stood there blankly, his mind was buzzing, feeling that after only a moment, all the members of the Mu family gathered around this house.
"quiet!"
The sound of the cane being tapped sounded, and the majestic old lady walked in. She was the current head wife of the Mu family.Different from the Shen family and the Li family, the old man of the Mu family lived a very long life. Even those in their [-]s were still in good spirits, and firmly held the power in the clan.
The husband-in-law is the patriarch, and the son is the next patriarch. Mrs. Mu is very confident.At this moment, she was wearing a dark purple double-breasted satin shirt, holding a dragon-headed crutch, and walked up to the two of them.She looked at Yiyou carefully, and then she looked at Mu Ran.
"Fifth, this is the scourge of heaven!"
There was a sternness in the old man's voice, and Yiyou's legs trembled when he heard it.
The past few days were really too happy, she had long suspected that she had abandoned Brother Mu without hesitation in her previous life, how could she deserve to be treated wholeheartedly by him again now.Now his parents in heaven can't stand it anymore, which is a metaphor for his dissatisfaction.
Otherwise, there is no explanation. On the two-foot-wide altar table, other tablets are firmly in place, but only these two tablets fell off.
It must be!She can be reborn with her memory, which shows that God is watching all this secretly.
"Brother Mu."
Mu Ran still didn't make a sound, he stared at the tablet in his hand, frowning more and more tightly.When she was about to open her mouth again, he even stretched out his left hand to stop her.
Seeing this, the Mu family around started chattering: "I heard that this daughter-in-law became a bone spirit."
This statement was immediately approved by the general lady: "It must be, I hurt my brother so hard. Besides, except for monsters, which woman can grow into this look. I have never seen a big girl or a young wife in Yunzhou all these years." She has three colors."
"You don't know that just now she was talking to the old lady of the Li family. The old lady in her 50s was begging like that, but she didn't have any self-consciousness of a junior, and she made a sarcastic statement."
At the beginning, I still whispered it, but after many people said it, everyone lost their scruples.Yiyou's head was full of buzzing sounds.In the end, only one sentence remained in her mind: God's punishment is coming.
"Silence!" The leading crutch was tapped again, and Mrs. Mu walked up to Mu Ran: "Brother, however, your parents do not agree to this marriage. Although our Mu family is not a wealthy family, we have to marry a daughter-in-law like this." Like."
Mu Ran stared at the memorial tablet, and nodded if there was nothing there.
"It's good that you can understand. There is no genealogy yet, and the matter is simple. As for Miss Shen, the Mu family will give her reasonable compensation."
Mu's second daughter-in-law stood up and said, "Mother, it's fine if this evildoer isn't burned, why should you be so polite to her?"
"Shut up for me." The old lady had a sullen face, more than failure than failure.Such a beauty, even an old woman would be tempted to look at her, if the pressure is too hard, Mu Ran will have to rebound.
Because of the burial that year, the two brothers were not close to the Mu family.Nian Mu's family had no shortage of land or money, but such an official status.She didn't expect Brother Ran to focus on the Mu family, she just wanted mutual benefit.The Mu family pays money, but Brother Ran does some things for the Mu family.After doing this many times, he has become dependent on this family, so he will naturally consider for them on his own.
"Spiritual things are pure nonsense. My Mu family can't take human lives lightly. But now Miss Shen in the Mu family's ancestral hall can't stay here. Please go to the guest room to rest."
When Yiyou woke up, she saw the Mu family's daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law standing in front of her, stretching out their arms to force her out.
"I'm not a monster, Brother Mu."
Mu Ran scratched his head, ignoring her at all, Yiyou was so anxious that tears almost fell down.Seeing that she was about to be taken out by force, a small hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve, and a small figure that knocked down her waist stood in front of her: "You are not allowed to touch my sister-in-law, she is not a monster. Look at my sister-in-law, please!" , are all jealous of her, you are bad people!"
It's Mu Yu!
At this time, the only one who stood up was him!Yiyou has mixed feelings in her heart, she has contacted this child with a purpose in this life, and she doesn't want to bear the deep guilt that cannot be resolved in her heart.But slowly, she also gave birth to a trace of sincerity.Although she has sincerity, in her heart she is closer to the longevity of a compatriot of the same mother.
Unexpectedly, this child really put her in his heart. In front of so many adults, Mu Ran didn't move, but he stood up without hesitation.
"Lao Liu, you are still young, this is the business of adults, don't worry about it."
"What's the matter with being small? Gan Luo is the prime minister of Qin at the age of twelve, and Cao Chong can be called an elephant at the age of six. I know nothing less than you. Besides my brother, my sister-in-law is the only person who treats me well. You can't do anything to her." Splash dirty water."
Yiyou's tears fell directly, and she wiped it casually, she smiled and looked at Mu Yu: "You are my brother, of course I have to treat you well."
From today on, Mu Yu is her biological brother.She can't help but love Changsheng, so she will have two younger brothers.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be afraid. Brother, don't be in a daze, talk quickly."
Mu Yu kept shaking Mu Ran, but everyone in the Mu family didn't do it.Some bitter people even started to say that Yiyou and his uncle were dirty, even eight-year-old children were not spared.
This time Yiyou will also calm down, so what if it is the punishment of God?It is Mu Ran who has the power to decide. Why is she listening to the Mu family here.Immediately she wiped away her tears, and stood there full of momentum: "It turns out that the Mu family is full of these things. The sister-in-law's son is eight years old, and there is a maid in the room to look after him? You are not afraid that he, an eight-year-old child, will behave badly to the little maid." Something wrong, or being seduced by a little maid?"
"Nothing, big brother won't be like this."
"Whether there is is something that can't be said with one mouth, your brother is, and so is Mu Yu!"
The Mu family was speechless, what else could they say?Who doesn't have an eight-year-old child, if he admits it today, he may be criticized a lot in the future.
"I really have nothing to say about today's tablets."
The second sister-in-law of the Mu family smiled sarcastically: "Since you have nothing to say, please leave the Mu family's ancestral hall."
"But you don't need to worry, Mr. Tie is the best choice for my marriage with Big Brother Mu. I'm afraid there is no Mr. Yin and Yang in the Mu family. Why don't you invite Mr. Tie to come while it's still early. After all, it's about the ancestral hall and you can't get out of it anywhere." error."
While talking, she carefully observed everyone's expressions, most of them were lost in thought, but only one, she was slowly backing away, with a very ugly expression on her face.
It's easy for Yiyou to recognize, this is Mu's fourth daughter-in-law who has never opened her mouth from the beginning to now.
"Fourth sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
"what!"
The woman jumped up as if she had received a big fright: "I... I don't know, I have to ask my sister-in-law for everything. Yes, just ask my sister-in-law."
Yiyou just relied on her own perception, she never thought that she would catch a big fish.This kind of uneasy appearance, even if it is a child, can easily be weird.
"Everyone talk, fourth sister-in-law, you go first."
The woman's face was pale, she shook her head and her lips were closed like clamshells, but she didn't have the slightest intention to speak again.
The old lady who was confronting Mu Ran slammed her cane for the third time: "Miss Shen, don't say that you have not entered the ancestral hall, you have already entered. The ancestors of the Mu family's ancestral hall are above all, and there is no place for you to talk."
Yiyou has already crossed the hurdle in her heart, but she is not afraid at all when she sees her again: "Oh, I know what the old lady is saying, but I am on the same level as my sister-in-law. The first to start talking are all the sister-in-laws."
The eyes of the two met in the air. Even if she was reborn for a while, Yiyou would not be able to match the old lady Mu in her 60s.Knowing that she couldn't hold on, she straightened her back and looked at Mu Ran from the corner of her eye.
She has already counted this time, if Mu Ran is really going to get angry, he is afraid that he will say something to her in the first place.Such a long silence, he didn't respond to anyone, he should be calculating something.Although she is not sure, Yiyou only feels that it is so.
She firmly believed that his patience and protection during this period of marriage was not a lie, and his friendship with her was so real that it was impossible to shatter it all at this moment.
Thinking of this, her confidence increased sharply. Recalling Zhang and Yin's family backgrounds, she straightened her back with a smile on her face.
In the end, Mrs. Mu gradually lost her battle: "What are you two doing here? Please invite Lao Liu and Miss Shen out."
This time, not only the two daughter-in-laws of the Mu family came up, but also the wives of two strong men.Seeing his elder brother looking at the tablet over and over again, Mu Yu stomped his feet anxiously without responding.
Just before the old woman touched Yiyou, Mu Ran suddenly raised her head: "Wait a minute."
Yiyou's eyes lit up, Brother Mu came back.The look she glanced at her just now was full of guilt. It was the elder brother Mu who she knew well.
Mu Ran held up a tablet: "Auntie, do you think this is a punishment from God?"
Then he looked at everyone in the Mu family: "You all think that this is the punishment of God?"
Everyone nodded in unison, and the tablet fell down, whether it was divine punishment or something.The head of the Shen family, who had never said anything, was quite sad: "Hey, I'm really sorry for my second brother, I didn't take a good look at his tablet."
"Are you sure it's God's punishment?"
Seeing everyone nodding again, Mu Ran jumped up and overturned the altar to the ground.
"God is so skillful. He deliberately tampered with the altar of our Mu family's ancestral hall. Seeing how clever the carpenter's mechanism is, even I was almost tricked."
Yiyou stepped forward and saw a piece protruding from the altar table, and another organ was connected to the wall.As long as the person on the other side of the wall manipulates the mechanism to push it up, such a high tablet will not have to fall down.
"How could the tablet be broken?"
Mu Ran put the tablet in one place: "Originally, the base and the wooden tablet above were separated, and then they were glued together and plugged with a rivet. Take a look at this glue, we just used it at noon."
"It's paste!"
When Mu Yu's determined voice came, Yiyou seemed to feel a smell of paste reaching her nose.Seeing the paste below, which was the same color as the glue, she felt relieved.It's fine if it's not true, she will treat Mu Ran and Mu Yu well in the future.
Then she felt a little helpless, the Mu family was so dissatisfied with her, and it didn't feel unlucky to make this happen during the Chinese New Year.
After inserting the two memorial tablets, she knelt down directly: "Father and mother, it's your daughter-in-law who brought you into this disaster. If it's the New Year's Eve, you won't be able to live in peace underneath."
Mu Ran pulled her up: "I can't blame you for this. It's the Mu family who has a ghost. Uncle, I haven't seen my fourth brother since just now. Could it be that he has become a grandfather?"
Mu's fourth daughter-in-law, who had been trembling all the time, knelt down and said, "It's not me, fifth, they forced your brother. Your brother has no skills, so he can only help them."
Mrs. Mu's cane hit her on the head: "You bastard, dare to do it or not."
Mu Ran grabbed her walking stick: "Auntie doesn't have to be like this. After all, I have also stayed in Mu's house for many years. The fourth brother can't do such a thing. Let me think about it. The second brother came up with the idea. , and then the third brother was beating and drumming on the side. The tablet was made by the elder brother. He has a lot of connections. If this thing is going to happen, my next wife will definitely be my sister-in-law. You three are busy, and then you just find an invisible person My fourth brother, who specializes in manipulating this organ next door."
There was no one in the Mu family to refute, and in the end it was the Mu patriarch who said, "What happened to the Shen family, we are worried about you..."
"I understand what Uncle means, but Yiyou has nothing to do with the Shen family's affairs. Since she is married to me, I should protect her. Speaking of Mu's family affairs over the years, there have been a lot of things going on in Mu's family. Today, I took advantage of this to alarm me. Father and mother, let's sit in the ancestral hall and have a good talk."
"Old five..."
"If you speak well, it will save me to go to Yunzhou to invite Liao Jianjun to completely help you exorcise ghosts. Uncle, what do you think?"
