Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 95

Before Yiyou figured out how to find out about Master Chang, Mu Ran came back at noon the next day, bringing exciting news.

"The shopkeeper Chang is not bad."

"what?"

Mu Ran pinched her puffed cheeks and began to speak slowly.Yiyou nodded as she listened, and then the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger, and she finally covered her stomach.

This matter is still related to Chen Deren, Chang Yizhi wants to rely on the big tree of the Liao family, but he is not someone who belittles himself too much.This has nothing to do with his background, but his temperament has always been like this, standing proudly regardless of the wind and rain.

Of course, Chang Yizhi is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to adapt. Through doing business, he quickly figured out the situation in Yunzhou.Then he used a dark thread in the capital, none other than his serious Yue family, Pei Yushi in the capital.

"This Pei Yushi has a certain relationship with Brother Pei, so he can be regarded as a side branch of the Pei family."

"Yuejing City is really small."

"It's not that Yuejing is small, it's that officials value these things, and their children are related to each other. Among them, the royal family is the one that does the most. The prince's concubine and side concubine almost take over the daughters of all the big surnames in Yuejing and other places. The concubines married by the princess are also noble people. The most famous families in the Yue capital are all close relatives to the royal family."

Yiyou only felt that one was bigger than the other: "Fortunately, we are in Yunzhou."

Mu Ran felt sorry for Qi Ran, he was not a well-informed person, and during those days in General Liao's mansion, it took him a lot of energy to remember the people who came and went.

"Fortunately, the military commander's house is simple."

"Well, brother Mu said by going on."

Then there was the Beiyi offender, and the Pei family, through Pei Zihuan, quietly mentioned Chen Deren, the new servant of the Lifan Academy.The Holy Majesty thought that this was a talent, so he ordered someone to find out. The eunuch was sent by Pei Zihuan, who just happened to join Chang Yizhi's people in Beijing.

The Chen family was in dire straits at this time, and as the closest in-laws, the Chang family was naturally involved.The eunuch was spiritual, and immediately found out the Chen family's anger towards Chen Deren, as well as the dissatisfaction of the big families.

His Majesty's heart is like a bright mirror. These high-ranking officials above the temple usually keep saying "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later".It really sticks to them, but it doesn't retreat at all.He didn't say anything at first, after all, everyone is greedy, and it's not good to be in a hurry.But just in time for the Beiyi invasion, the Holy One found a breakthrough.

So in the court hall, Chen Shangshu immediately ate the melons, and everyone else was also affected.The emperor was furious and lay dead for thousands of miles. Although it would not be such an exaggeration, the Chen family really did not have a good year.

Yiyou easily grasped the key point: "Did Master Chang leak those letters?"

"That's right, the person who happened to be sent by the Holy One heard it seriously. This matter was told by Mr. Chen today. If it weren't for this, you and I would have been in the countryside for many days, and we wouldn't know the secrets of Beijing."

Yiyou clutched her stomach and laughed: "It turns out that this group of people are just like us, and they are not in harmony even after closing the door all day."

"That's natural. There are fewer disputes among farmers. At most, it's a matter of who eats more. But in these big clans, there are real gold, silver, high-ranking officials and generous salary. Needless to say, swords and swords are there. Even the Liao family, if it wasn't for General Liao is suppressing, and I'm afraid there will be constant conflicts."

Yi You felt emotional, Li's favorite words back then were: People are born to suffer, so every baby has to cry a lot when it is born.

In fact, in her opinion, most of the crying in life is nothing more than worrying about difficulty.And all these unreasonable things are born of endless desires and comparisons with each other.People who do not compare and live freely by themselves are a minority after all.

"When this happens, those people will definitely be vigilant. Brother Mu, I'm afraid our days will not be peaceful."

Mu Ran nodded, and then threw out the shocking news: "Indeed, the new county magistrate of Yunzhou is Chang Anzhi."

"Chang Anzhi?"

"It is a member of the Chang family, but this person is not a direct descendant, but the youngest son of the second wife. Just now Master Chen told me that although this person is about the same age as Chen Deren, his scheming is far beyond the latter's comparison."

Yiyou frowned, finally Yunzhou became smooth, Zhizhou and the supervising army all made good friends with their family.But now a family member comes here, and this day is really not a day for people to live in peace.

"I don't know how the Holy One thinks."

At her own home, she complained without fear.Mrs. Zhang once made it clear to her that the candidate for Yunxian county magistrate was the result of a struggle between the two sides.At that time, she felt that with General Liao's current position, she was sure to be secure, but she did not expect that her hopes were still dashed.

"If the Liao family is really sent here, won't Yunzhou completely become the territory of the Liao family."

Mu Ran had a vague premonition that General Liao was disarmed and returned to the field a few years ago, not because the Holy One was not good enough at the beginning of his enthronement.After all, General Zhen Guo is there. If he really wants to protect him, who can pull him down.Today, Dayue seems to place more emphasis on martial arts than literature, but it has been established for [-] years, and the country has gradually emerged from the shadow of the northern barbarian invasion, and it is time for civil officials to rise up.

"The Liao family will not betray him."

Yiyou was quite unconvinced, she didn't have so many twists and turns in her mind, and she always had no doubts about employing people, and doubting people would not use them.Just like Bitao and Mother Liu, although she was very strict with them at the beginning, after confirming that they were selfless, she assuredly taught them some things, and gave them the management of the Shen family's steamed stuffed bun stall.

"That's not the case, silly baby."

Mu Ran sighed: "You don't have to worry too much, the sky is falling, and you still have to support your husband."

Yiyou turned around and pinched his cheeks: "You are taller than me, so you will stand outside. We were talking about Master Chang just now, why did you turn to this corner?"

"The matter of shopkeeper Chang has been finished, and brother Liao already admired him a little bit. Now that he has done this, he has completely put himself on the side of General Liao. We are all on the same boat, so there is no need to have so many precautions." .”

This is also the reason Yiyou thinks about, anyway, the Chen family just doesn't like them, so one more person will be more helpful.Previously, Mrs. Zhang admired Chang Ye very much, but now General Liao also recognized it, and they were also on one side.

"Then wait for fifteen, and I'll go over and try one or two."

"Row."

Mu Ran had a pretty good idea of ​​this matter. Mother-in-law was not that self-righteous, even she felt it and was even sure, which showed that Master Chang had serious intentions.

After settling down, Yiyou slowly began to think about it. Although Da Yue liked widows to remarry, people who remarried among the people were a minority after all.

In the previous and present lives, it was the first time for her to talk about reconciliation, but now her eyes are really darkened.In the end, it was Mu Ran who woke her up: "It's not just an ordinary marriage. What you say when you buy noodles and meat is what you say now. With Master Chang's character, even if you have concerns, you won't go there casually." Rumors."

Yiyou also felt relieved, it was true.No matter how complicated things are, with her straight-forward temperament, she really can't do it.

"I listen to Brother Mu. I'll change into my clothes and go practice swords with you."

Mu Ran is really happy about this matter, and practicing martial arts really strengthens his body.The little daughter-in-law is healthy and gave birth to a few children earlier.

"Row."

Changsheng also came in, and the four practiced seriously, and even Duanyang joined in at the end.To Yiyou's surprise, he actually has some foundation. Although he looks like a wild road, he is really practical, and even Mu Ran praised him.

"Where did all this come from?"

"There are always people who know martial arts in Ren Yazi. I watched it since I was a child, and after watching too much, I will become a little bit better."

Mu Ran smacked, but his expression became more and more solemn: "I will rest later, tell me about the method of treating people with human teeth, and these kung fu."

Yiyou went into the house and stewed a cup of pears with rock sugar. The pears were hidden in the cellar in autumn. Although they are a little shriveled now, there is no loss of sugar in them. Sliced ​​into slices, the soup tastes just right.After being stewed, it is cooled, and then served in a small bowl. The crystal clear soup is cold, and the taste is really memorable.

Duanyang also spoke, and Mu Ran listened, sometimes writing down with simple symbols.

Yiyou's face turned paler, why there are so many tricks in the world.She thought that the needle-throwing dance she had suffered was the ultimate, but when she heard Ren Yazi peeling the human skin alive, and even kneading the human skin to make it into a book cover, she felt creepy all over her body.

"I will never touch a book bound in leather again in the future."

Gritting her teeth and trembling, she said this, Ren Yazi's method is really terrifying.

"Cowhide and human skin are different, but these things must be reported to Mr. Chen. Although it is not against the law to kill a person who has signed a contract of prostitution, the matter of human skin really hurts peace."

Yiyou hurriedly agreed, and then gave Duanyang Sheng a bowl of rock sugar pears: "Don't be afraid, your brothers are here with us now, as long as you are steadfast and don't have two hearts, we won't do such harmful things, and we won't go too far Harsh."

The sweet smell soothed Duanyang's fear, listening to the majestic words of the master and the gentle comfort of his wife, he felt warm in his heart.He has seen too many unscrupulous slaves who were whipped by their masters and then sold back to human teeth, so he didn't want to have second thoughts.

But now, like Bi Tao, he sincerely admires his master.

"Duanyang should be so heartbroken that he can do those jobs."

Yiyou just nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.From the current point of view, she is quite satisfied with Duanyang and Duanwu.

When the two of them were alone, Yiyou saw Mu Ran clumsily holding the pen and drawing on the paper, it was actually the criminal law that Duanyang mentioned.

"Brother Mu, what are you doing?"

"You don't know, Beiyi people are hard-headed. They have lived a hard life since childhood, and the big prison in Dayue is a place of happiness for them. Therefore, every time they capture the uniforms and torture them, it is extremely painful. Now I hear that although the methods of the traffickers are vicious and even hurt Tianhe, if they can extract some information from the population of Beiyi, they can save the lives of countless soldiers of Da Yue."

"So Brother Mu is going to write it down on paper and hand it over to Supervisor Liao?"

"exactly."

Yiyou took the pen in his hand: "You talk, I'll write. Mu Yu is young, but he can't hear it."

Although her handwriting is not good, it is better than Muran's ghost drawing.

"Mu Yu can't hear it, so you can?"

Yiyou looked at him in surprise: "Of course I can listen, Brother Mu can listen and write well, why can't I."

Sensing the firmness in her eyes, Mu Ran put away the last trace of worry.His little daughter-in-law is really a strong person, thinking about the heavy thing hidden in her heart, maybe after a month, her reaction will not be so big by then.

"Brother Mu, what's going on? Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"No, I'm talking about you writing, but there are actually not many things."

Yiyou sat on the chair, and Mu Ran stood behind her, staring at her soft bun.The battle of the northern barbarians could not wait any longer, when the ice and snow in the northern land melted, it would be time for the army to move out.The soldiers of Dayue came from various prefectures, and the governors of each prefecture recruited troops from the state supervisors, and the state supervisors then recruited troops from the county captains under their rule.

Originally, as a county lieutenant, he didn't have to fight in person, but the Chen family was not so friendly.After suffering such a big loss, those people even wanted to eat his heart alive.So this time not only him, but brother Liao was also included in the left army, and the army will set off for Yuejing in a month.

The husband and wife cooperated, and soon a document was written. Mu Ran took out the private seal sent by Mr. Tie and stamped it, dried the ink and put it in his arms.

"I'll go to the county government office, put this thing in the documents sent to Yunzhou, and hand it over to Brother Liao."

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back for lunch."

When he walked to the door, Mu Ran turned his head, and saw his little daughter-in-law standing up, supporting the table with a pair of jade hands, and smiling at him cheerfully.

Immediately he wished that he hadn't been to the county government this morning, this kind of gentle town, even if his will was twice as strong, he was afraid that his legs would be filled with lead, and he was reluctant to leave.

Yiyou saw the sadness in Mu Ran's eyes when he closed the door, and immediately she was a little puzzled.Something was wrong, when we were in the same room with her before, he was always smiling, but today is really too abnormal.He must be hiding something from her. What exactly is it?

Is it difficult for Changsheng to enter the official school?Or are you worried that the new county magistrate is not easy to deal with?

Even if she wanted to break her head, Yiyou would never have imagined that they were so close.After all, after getting married, Mu Ran once told her that the county lieutenant only needs to recruit and train troops, instead of directly leading them.Therefore, although the official is not big, this comfort has attracted countless people.

No matter how she wondered, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was approaching.After finishing the draft, she came to Wuguzhai alone.

As soon as she approached, she was taken aback. It turned out that in less than two months, the embroidery workshop next to Wuguzhai had changed a lot.The huge embroidery workshop was divided into two rooms, the gate was changed, and the blue brick walls were covered with white ash.Even the doors and windows are newly made, and on the doors and windows that smell of tung oil are pasted Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" in big red letters. The beautiful running script is exactly from Chang Ye's hand.

Mrs. Xue greeted her, followed by Sister Lu: "Mrs. Mu is here, come in and have a look."

Seeing that the Wuguzhai was still closed, she simply went in and took a look around.Compared with the outside, the inside has changed more, and almost nothing is the same as before.

"Didn't work stop during the Spring Festival?"

"On the 29th year, the craftsmen went home to rest. Their home is in the city. Master Chang paid [-]% more wages. Many people rushed to work."

"Then how much money will it cost?"

"It's really not expensive. You don't even use half of what you gave."

Immediately, Yiyou took out another 100 taels of silver note from her purse: "Madam will accept it, and I will give it to you on behalf of my mother."

"How did this happen? Mrs. Mu doesn't know how clean my sister Lu and I have been living this year. The Xue family didn't dare to provoke the two of you this time, and I'm afraid they won't dare to come in the future. Just for this one, this embroidery workshop will give the government what it deserves!"

Yiyou had no choice but to take back the money and went upstairs for a walk. The upstairs was also divided into two halves, with a simple bed at one foot.Yiyou figured that when the steamed stuffed bun shop opened in the future, she could ask Mama Liu or Bitao to sleep here, and she could also watch the shop.

After turning around, she really didn't see anything that needed improvement. Master Chang included some details that she was worried about.Regardless of what she considered or didn't consider, he helped to do it.

"I don't want to bother you too much. By the way, the official school opens on February [-]. Don't forget to bring Sister Lu there on that day."

Mrs. Xue was a little stunned: "Sister Lu can really enter an official school?"

"That's natural. I never joked. Why, is Mrs. Xue reluctant?"

"Of course not. This is her blessing. I just never thought of it. It's really a pleasant surprise. It's tens of millions of times better than having a safe birthday."

Sister Lu who followed was also a little excited: "Mother, when I enter the government school to read and write, I can accompany you to read the account books."

The mother and daughter talked one sentence at a time, and seeing that they were talking vigorously, Yiyou also took her leave along the way.Looking at the two cheeks behind the curtain, one big and one small showing joy and gratitude, she felt quite at ease.

After she came out of the embroidery workshop, she entered the Wuguzhai. The Wuguzhai had already opened on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. As soon as she entered, she saw Master Chang.

"Why did Mrs. Mu come here?"

"Seeing Fifteen, I'll see if there's anything new, and I'll buy some for the holidays."

Master Chang raised the curtain: "Please, Mingyuan, make tea inside."

The back of Wuguzhai still looks the same, but this time I came to Yiyou to recognize that the unremarkable set of furniture is indeed made of mahogany, and the carver is not like that produced in Yunzhou.

"There are really no new gadgets. If there is, I will give Yunniang a copy."

This sentence... Yiyou knew it in her heart.

"To be honest, I came here this time to thank Master Chang on behalf of my mother."

Chang Yizhi put his hand on the grand teacher's chair: "That's not necessary, it's just a little effort."

"It's not as simple as a simple effort." Yiyou's smile had a deep meaning: "Chang Ye is really a kind person. He is so caring, and he hasn't even had a happy New Year's Eve. As a girl, I have to Thanks a lot.”

Chang Yizhi stared at Yiyou, looked at the mischievousness on her two dimples, and then put down the teacup: "It's really easy, for me, doing anything to Yunniang is easy."

"What does Master Chang mean?"

"That's right, you didn't know about it long ago, and you tried to persuade me in many ways."

The ease on Yiyou's face was gone now, how could she forget that the person in front of her was Master Chang.In just half a year, he was able to become the leading wealthy businessman in Yunzhou.Such cunning and scheming, I am afraid that she will not be able to match it in her whole life.

"I really hope that my mother can live a better life, but to be honest, Master Chang is really not a good match."

"Oh?" Chang Yizhi was not angry at all, and his tone was full of determination: "Because of the Chang family?"

Yiyou nodded: "Exactly, and besides, I don't know what's going on with the Pei family."

Chang Yizhi, on the other hand, admired her. Since he was a child, everyone he met had turned a dozen corners in one sentence, so he had a different kind of affection for the upright General Liao.He especially likes straightforward and open-minded people, just say what you want, it doesn't matter if you are euphemistic, why do you need to turn so many layers.

"Pei family, you don't have to worry, they feel guilty about me."

"Why?"

"It's a long story, but you are Yunniang's daughter, so it's okay to tell you. Although my previous wife was the original wife's daughter, she made my step-wife a cowardly character. The step-wife and Chang's side Good friends, there have been many things in it. After these years, my father-in-law finally discovered the clues, but he couldn't stop it, but I know he feels guilty."

Yiyou probably understands that the sons of the Pei family are all descended from step-wives, and Master Pei cannot disregard the wishes of his adult sons even if he has a heart.

"Father and son are normal, this is human nature."

"Indeed, as for the Chang family, Mr. Mu should have told you as well."

Looking at his confident appearance, Yiyou unconsciously felt a wave of trust.In fact, at this time, she was still a little nervous.After all, it is unprecedented for a daughter to come forward to marry her mother-in-law.She lowered her eyelids and took a sip of tea. The slightly bitter taste lingered on her tongue, and she relaxed a little.

"My mother will not leave Changsheng."

"Well, Changsheng can change his surname."

Yiyou took a sip of tea and sprayed it out directly: "Chang, is your surname Li?"

"That's right. I think he can change his surname to Li. As for the surname Chang, I didn't want it, and I didn't force it on others."

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, she wiped her mouth: "Master Chang, don't just say half of what you said, I can't stand being scared."

"If she is willing, I can prepare everything tomorrow."

Yiyou found that she couldn't keep up with Chang Ye's rhythm, why she didn't say anything, he had already dominated the whole conversation before he knew it.But the conditions he raised were all based on Li Shi's standpoint, so she had no reason to refute.

"My mother was married before."

"I knew about this matter from the very beginning. To be honest, at my age, I have already looked down on love."

"Then why are you?"

"Yun Niang is also someone I admire. If I had her courage to break the boat, I wouldn't be approaching the age of forty and achieve nothing."

Yiyou wiped off her cold sweat. Master Chang had such high demands on himself. The silver he earned turned into copper coins and spread it out for eight hours a day, and he would not finish spreading it until he was eighty dead.

"Master Chang is really good at joking, I will ask Yu Niang."

"Thank you, Mrs. Mu."

Master Chang stood up, with a smile on his face that she had never felt happy before.This appearance gave Yiyou the last reassurance. A person like Master Chang would disdain to pretend. He is so sincere, he should like Li Shi very much.

"I'm just talking, it's up to my mother to see if it will work or not."

Master Chang nodded and didn't speak again, but ordered Mingyuan to bring up two wooden boxes: "These are fish balls from Fujian and Guangdong. They are similar to the meatballs from Yunzhou, but the taste is slightly different. You can take them back, You should try something new."

"Master Chang has a heart."

Insisting on keeping the money, Yiyou walked back with the food box.Putting a box in the courtyard casually, she went directly to the Shen family.

"You girl, you rushed up like this?"

Yiyou nodded: "Well, before I could say anything, Master Chang had already made the matter clear. Mother, I think he really cares about you, so he won't even open my mouth. In this way, even if you don't like it, spread the word and damage it." And his reputation."

Mrs. Li squeezed the veil tightly: "I haven't made up my mind yet..."

"mother!"

Yiyou said with a bluffing face like setting off firecrackers: "I really want to eat the radish first and worry about it. After so much effort, I can't tolerate you if people hear the arrangement. Such a good thing, you I'm also happy in my heart, and it's not because I'm twisting it, what's the reason for being so capricious in the end? Let me think about it, is Changsheng not happy?"

"What did sister say?"

"Changsheng, you go ahead and talk."

Right now, Yiyou knew that Mrs. Li never mentioned this matter to Changsheng.Immediately, she pulled her brother over and asked as briefly as possible: "What does Changsheng think of Master Chang?"

"Very well, the neighbor's house was very fierce that day. Thanks to Master Chang, otherwise I would have to enter the house and take a big knife."

"Then tell him to take care of your mother, what do you think?"

"take care of?"

"Well, he lives in our house, and when bad people come, he will stand in front of my mother. When my stepmother is sick, he will go to ask the doctor."

Li Shi exclaimed: "Yiyou!"

Yiyou gave her a straight glance: "Mother, don't talk, I'm asking Changsheng."

"Live in our house, just like dad used to? But mother is sick, and grandma won't let dad invite a doctor, so he won't go. It seems that Master Chang is better."

Yiyou spread her hands: "Mother, do you understand?"

"How will others say longevity?"

"What does this have to do with longevity? If someone talks about him in the future, Master Chang will protect him. It's better than if someone talks about him now and you hide under the quilt and wipe your tears alone, or drive away those people with a kitchen knife." .”

Mrs. Li was silent, and lived alone in the courtyard for half a year. Although she lost the ups and downs of the Shen family, she still had a lot of things to do.Now there is a Dragon Boat Festival to do the hard work, but many times, she still needs someone to give her an idea.The daughter is no longer around, she really feels tired.

Changsheng stood between the two of them half understanding: "Sister, do you want to marry Master Chang just like you married Brother Mu?"

"kindness."

"Then won't she come home in the future?"

Yiyou shook her head: "Of course not, he is only alone, of course he lives with you."

All worries were eliminated, and a happy smile appeared on Changsheng's face.

After a while, Mrs. Li finally nodded invisibly.After tidying up the fish balls in the box, she saw an envelope pressed underneath, and opened it to see a concentric knot inside, and she was only a few steps away from finishing the weaving.

"Changsheng, let's go out."

Yiyou stayed in Changsheng's room for a while, and after checking his homework, he gave some instructions. Finally, when the door of Mrs. Li's room was opened, she brought the box to the door.Taking advantage of her time to go to the kitchen, Yiyou took a look, and found that the few missing threads had been woven, and the thread ends were baked off under the kerosene lamp, and the envelope contained a complete concentric knot.

"Mother, I see that the steamed stuffed bun shop next to the embroidery workshop is pretty much cleaned up. Let's go and have a look together while tomorrow's fifteenth day is busy?"

Mrs. Li glanced at the food box, and gave her a sideways glance: "You are the only one who has a lot to do."

Yiyou was not annoyed, and took her arm: "I'll return the box together."

When Mu Ran came back, he was greeted by a room full of fragrant fish balls.Walking to the dining table, I saw a bowl of golden white meatballs in the porcelain basin, which was really beautiful.

"How's the conscription going?"

Mu Ran nodded: "Almost, I have also discussed Duanyang's tricks with Brother Liao. I think they are easy to learn and practical. During this period of time, I will use them first when training soldiers. What are you doing tonight? It's not about waiting for me to go to the kitchen Do it for you?"

"Brother Mu, you work so hard outside, I can do this little thing."

Looking at the smiling face of the little daughter-in-law, Mu Ran felt more and more guilty.From the fourth day to now, he has been hiding it for nearly ten days.

After the fifteenth day, Mr. Chen will move to Yunzhou, and I am afraid that this matter will no longer be covered.Thinking that this was the last day, he had a feeling of twilight before night.

"Brother Mu has always been a wild god recently. He must have taken that cold shower. The doctor said to be careful, but you didn't listen."

"Well, I won't wash from today on."

The weirdness in Yiyou's heart became more and more intense. After asking the doctor to lift the ban, he started pouring cold water over his head again these days, rain or shine.How could it be so simple now that the men's football made trouble like that before.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. She gave Mu Ran a look, and she decided to pay more attention.

Mu Ran smiled wryly in his heart, and he felt more and more that when the truth was revealed, the courtyard might collapse.

"What is this?"

Yiyou looked at the fish ball soup on the table: "It's the fish balls given by Master Chang, and there are those over there. This thing seems to be called curry sauce. I tried it, and it has a very special taste."

The whole family sat down, and the fish ball soup in a small porcelain pot quickly bottomed out.The novel taste brings everyone a good appetite.Ignoring Mu Ran who was unconsciously frowning beside him, Yiyou promised that Mu Yu wanted to eat in the future, so she went to Wuzhouzhai to buy some.

After dinner, it was time for the two of them to be alone, Yiyou served a plate of snacks, and tried to ask: "Brother Mu, is there something bothering you?"

"Conscription is not a good thing to do."

"In the past few days, there are still people from the Shen family who want to exempt some members of the family from military service. I really dare not agree to it no matter what."

Mu Ran hugged her: "Usually, if I can be exempted, I will be exempted, but now it is indeed different. Within three months, the new county magistrate will take office. If he finds out, it's fine if I get Shangfeng's admonition. Dodging military service is troublesome."

"Hey."

Yiyou naturally understands this point, the disaster of the Northern Barbarians in the previous dynasty was there, and the imperial court was extremely strict about conscription.

"Don't worry about this, by the way, how about you go to Wuguzhai today?"

"It's done."

Mu Ran couldn't react: "What happened?"

"Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, my mother and I will visit the new steamed stuffed bun shop at home. By the way, let her discuss with Master Chang about the two of us."

"So fast?"

"I never thought about this matter. It was Master Chang who expected everything. Even if I wanted to shirk it, I couldn't find any excuse."

Immediately, Yiyou learned what the two of them said in the afternoon to Mu Ran again: "I'm afraid Master Chang has been waiting for a long time, you see, I don't need to say anything at all. It's ridiculous that I'm still probing carefully and preparing for nothing. "

After hearing this, Mu Ran was silent for a while, and then said: "Fortunately, this person is not an enemy."

"What about the enemy?"

Mu Ran then talked about his vague dream. In his previous life, Chen Deren didn't cause land annexation, and the three families of Chen, Chang and Wang in Beijing were connected with each other.Although General Liao is upright, he is not a brainless person.After being suppressed many times, he sent people to investigate and confirmed that the occasional magical writings of the Chang family in the court were all from masters behind the scenes.

"This expert should be Master Chang, because the news came from Yunzhou."

"Then why?"

"I do not know either."

Mu Ran shook his head, even in his dream he didn't know everything.The truth is that prosperity must decline, how could the Holy One allow the three companies to grow bigger.Time after time of tricks, the Chang family reached the peak of power, and then a casual charge of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country would drive them into the dust.

Chang Yizhi was killed by admiration, and not long after his death, the entire Chang family was buried with him.As for the Chen and Wang families, without the thickest support of the Chang family, they will gradually lose their momentum.In the end, the Holy Majesty still sat high on the dragon chair, using their abilities, but the suppressed two families had no power to fight back.

It is impossible for the two of them to know these things for the rest of their lives. Yiyou huddled under the quilt and got on the kang in a daze, feeling like she had forgotten something.

When she woke up at dawn, she realized that she had been let in again without knowing it.Although the matter of conscription is worrying, it is by no means the reason why he has been distracted recently.Looking at the steaming food on the table, Mu Ran had long since disappeared, and only Mu Yu sent an order: eat early, and he will come back earlier in the evening.

She didn't know what the two of them discussed, but when they came down, Master Chang blushed and gave her a big red seal in person.
