Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 96

Before Yiyou could express her distressed and messy mood in the wind, Mrs. Li had already started discussing the layout of the store.

"I originally thought it would be simpler, so I bought some tables, chairs and benches. But now the store is like this, if it is simpler, it may be too perfunctory."

It is related to her and Changshou's livelihood for many years, so Yiyou has to get serious: "It's okay, it's just selling buns, if they are all decorated as magnificently as Wuzhouzhai, who would dare to come in and eat."

"Yes, but I always feel that it is against harmony."

Yiyou could tell that the corners of Li's lips were raised, obviously extremely happy.Now that she is talking nonsense like this, she must be changing the subject.

"Forget it, since mother doesn't want to say it, then as a daughter, I won't force it."

After she finished speaking, she puffed up her cheeks, hid at the foot of the carriage, and quietly looked at the street outside, so quiet that she didn't say a word.

"This child, the wind is the rain."

Mrs. Li was quite helpless, since there was nothing wrong with it: "We are not like you children who all step into the coffin with one foot. How can we be so particular about it?"

Yi You doesn't like to hear these words, although people in Da Viet generally have a short lifespan, and they can already do "knowing the destiny" by living to fifty.But she has seen many rare old people. In her opinion, Li's 30s are a good time.

"If my mother dresses up well, I'm afraid that many big girls and young wives in Yun County will be compared to you. I didn't do it well last time, so how can I be so hasty this time."

On Li's face, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but she was happy in her heart.Women, who doesn't want their phoenix crown and Xiapei to be taken over by eight sedan chairs.

"You and I don't need to worry about this matter."

You and I, Yiyou noticed this word keenly, raised her lips and smiled: "Then leave it to Master Chang to worry about."

Mrs. Li did not deny it, which was considered an admission.In fact, she really had nothing to say. After entering, the two had a showdown, and then Chang Yizhi said that everything was on him.In such a short time, it is impossible to discuss some details.

But she can't say it out, this girl is getting more and more lawless, no matter what she has to make her look like an adult.

"Well, it's almost here. You have to go to the county government in the afternoon, so mother won't keep you."

Yiyou took her arm: "Mother, let's have a good aftertaste, and my daughter won't bother you, so let's leave it alone."

While talking, she winked at Li Shi, her mother's life-long event finally came to an end, and she also let go of a big stone that had been in her heart for a long time.

Stepping on the snow, there was a creaking sound under the boots, but she thought more.Master Chang agreed, and the matter was more than half settled.But there is still a Shen family in Yunlin Village, even if the patriarch and the second uncle are suppressing, the old lady and Chunsheng will not have any problems.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a headache, widows remarry, no matter when they will be said.As long as there was a marriage between the two, it will be something that will never be erased for a lifetime.No matter what happens to the two of them in the future, the world will inevitably whisper when they mention it again.

This headache lasted for a long time, and she couldn't read a single word of the account books of the Mu family.

When Mu Ran came back, he saw the little daughter-in-law sitting on the edge of the kang, sighing continuously.Immediately, he had a mental shock. Could it be that she already knew it?Half a month of concealment is already the limit, and the truth will definitely come out when he goes out without waiting for tomorrow.

"Why are you frowning, baby?"

"Brother Mu, I'm worried about the Shen family."

"Are you thinking about dad?"

Although Yiyou calls Shen Fuxiang twice from time to time, Mu Ran respects his father-in-law very much.No matter what he thinks in his heart, he maintains the most basic respect on his face, making it impossible to find fault at all.

"It's not that I'm worried about him. He's soft-hearted towards everyone. Even if he doesn't like it in his heart, he won't react too violently. I'm just worried about the Shen family. The incident just subsided before Chunsheng. If there is another quarrel Yes, maybe what others will say."

It turned out that it wasn't him, Mu Ran sat down and enjoyed the last tranquility before the Shangyuan dinner.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. Taking a step back, Changsheng doesn't live in Yunlin Village, even if someone says something, he won't hear it."

Yiyou is now very grateful that she left with her mother early. Although gossip is indispensable in the county government, every household should be a little more careful, and their words will not be so straightforward.But in Yunlin Village, those country women laughed, but it didn't matter the occasion or location. If it was that serious, they would even lie on the fence wall of their house and say it.

"That's true. Let's pack up and go to the county government to see Master Chen's family off later."

"kindness."

Mu Ran pulled out his sleeve and took out a jewelry box from it.

"Baby, for you."

Yiyou took it over, opened it and saw that there were two new hairpins.The hairpin is not thick, it is made of silver, with a hollow carved in the middle, and the heads of the hairpin are the zodiac signs of the two of them.Although the materials used are not too expensive, the workmanship is exquisite.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"Wu Qiong Pavilion opened today. I happened to see it when I was passing by. I bought it after seeing the exquisiteness."

After speaking, Mu Ran turned around, and Yiyou happened to see the thicker silver hairpin on his head.Except for the thickness, there is no difference in the style of the two hairpins. Yiyou sat in front of the mirror, holding the hairpin in both hands, showing a bright smile.

Mu Ran dazzled for a moment, picked up the comb and began to comb her hair.

"Brother Mu, I'm here. Mu Yu is a little hungry outside."

"It's okay, today's lunch will be made by Duanyang."

"He knows Duanyang? This thing is not chopping wood to make a fire."

"Just learn it, it's not difficult."

Mu Ran tried his best to make himself appear natural. The expedition did not mean going to the Yunzhou government office, it could take several years at a time.He couldn't bear his little daughter-in-law to do heavy work, so naturally he had to train|train good people earlier.I just don't know how much flavor Duanyang can make before he leaves.

Thinking of the unstoppable melancholy in his heart, he really didn't want to leave.There are still half a month left, but he feels that every hour passes by an hour, but it really makes him panic.

"Brother Mu, what's the matter? Since the fourth day of junior high school, you have often been distracted. Could it be that you found a little star without telling me?"

Mu Ran woke up from the silence: "Of course not."

"Is this really something?"

"Well, it's not a big deal. Time is tight now, so I'll tell you when I come back in the evening."

Yiyou became more and more puzzled in her heart, what is going on?Since he said he would always be there, what else could be bothering him so much.But soon her energy was dragged by Mu Ran, without it, he would only comb that one bun, and if he changed it to another one, he would dance like a group of demons.

This is not the scariest part, the key point is that his hands are so strong that it hurts even a little scratching.

"lighter."

Mu Ran could only put it lightly, trying to recall the appearance of the little daughter-in-law when she combed her hair, and he gradually figured out the way, and soon a cloud bun came out.He took the box and took out two of the hairpins, one on the left and one on the left.After plugging it in and looking at the beautiful little daughter-in-law in the mirror, he just felt that he couldn't help it.

"I'm going to see the fire."

Yiyou frowned, like this for ten days in a row, it really drove her crazy.Find out the clothes and change them, anyway, the truth will be revealed in a few hours, and she can't wait for this moment.

Yiyou often comes to the county office, but the last few times she has come, she has seen it change every day.

The rockery next to the study was smashed, and the koi in the pond were also salvaged.Those stubborn stones and flowers on the side of the road don't know where to hide. Previously, there was a sense of exquisite county government everywhere, but now there is only a sense of ordinaryness.

This time, it has changed the most. Everything that was repaired after taking over the Jiang family's thousand acres of hidden land, has now returned to its original state.

"Yiyou is here."

Sister Qiao greeted her enthusiastically, and the two went directly to the main room.Mrs. Zhang was still sitting on the main seat, surrounded by the families of officials of all sizes in Yun County.Chen Xiancheng has been an official for nearly 20 years, and has imprisoned almost all officials in Yun County.This time he will be promoted, and the troops of the direct line have a feeling that one person has achieved the Tao, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven, and the joy of this meeting is beyond words.

Turning around, she didn't find the chubby wife in charge. She would never bring up such a festive day.

But if she didn't mention it, someone else would. This person is the outspoken Mrs. Tie.

"It's a pity that the head of the family is missing. Before she was there, she just felt annoying. Now that there is no one in the seat, she still feels a lot lonely in front of her."

The expressions on the faces of all the people present were quite strange, Yiyou looked up at Mrs. Tie who hadn't realized that she had said something wrong, and a burst of joy suddenly rose from her heart.

"That's right, there are fewer quarrels, and I'm a little unaccustomed to the harmony now."

Zhang's face did not change at all: "They are all relatives and friends over the years, and I am not used to it. But I am happy for their family. Before Master Chen came to Beijing, he specially ordered the master to go back to Yuejing together. Their family must follow Have fun."

Everyone can't help but gloat, Ning Fei's chicken head is not a phoenix's tail, and the deed of selling his life is in the hands of Chen Deren, what can he do when he arrives in the capital?Why not be a slave in the Chen family!How could slaves be better than county government officials? No matter how prosperous Yuejing was, the masters of the house would never be slaves.

However, all the wives are able to sit here, naturally they are all people with the city in their hearts. At this moment, there is a lot of congratulations, but each other can hear each other's gloating.

Yiyou peeled an orange to share with Qiaojie, and then heard her say: "Sister Xing is not engaged to Chunsheng, what should I do now?"

"Yeah, I'm going to the capital now, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to come back."

Yiyou said she was worried, but she had a plan in her heart.To be honest, Chunsheng is what she is most wary of in the Shen family in Yunzhou. Unlike the old lady's pungentness and Shen Fuhai's ruthlessness, Chunsheng is extremely scheming.

She thought he couldn't accomplish much by himself, but the rumors she heard overturned her thinking.At such a young age, one already knows who to take advantage of.First, he used the child's obsession to listen and believe, and then he persuaded the old lady to talk about the viciousness of the three of them when he went to see her.

An old man and a child burst into tears, and the words spread out from the children's mouths. I'm afraid even the adults will believe it.During the Chinese New Year, everyone is idle and having nothing to do, just sitting at home and knocking their teeth, even a small matter can spread the word.But behind the turbulent rumors, Chunsheng was just talking.

"I'm afraid I'm going to retire."

Yiyou shook her head: "That's not necessary."

The words of the two also caught Zhang's attention, she turned her head and asked, "Oh, what did Yiyou say?"

"If you want me to say that Chunsheng will also have a government examination next year, it would be more convenient for them to live there if their mother and son go directly to Yuejing. Similarly, the two parents' families can also take care of them nearby."

The matter of Chunsheng has nothing to do with these people, but the wife of the book secretary has something to do with them.Having done it for so many years, quite a few people present like to do things that harm others and benefit themselves.

Listening to everyone's agreement, Yiyou silently paid tribute to the wife of the chief secretary.She is so good at offending people, that's why these officials from the government who usually sweep the door of their own houses do not hesitate to take action.

In the end, it was Zhang who made the final decision: "The Holy Majesty set up an official school to educate the world. Chunsheng is eager to learn. It will be inconvenient for their orphans and widows to go to Beijing, so I will pay 20 taels of money."

The Holy Majesty was moved out, and everyone gave generously.Small officials pay five taels, and high officials pay ten taels. Together, they are enough for the mother and son to live in Yuejing City for four or five years.Yiyou has the final say, after four or five years, everything has already been settled.

Immediately she stood up: "Chunsheng is my cousin. I am so grateful to all the ladies who care so much. I also pay 20 taels."

20 taels, not only didn't steal Zhang's limelight, but also because she was more related and not abrupt, no one in the room could say anything.Those who are smart have already begun to remember that Mrs. Mu managed to get rid of a big trouble against her with a small 20 taels, and in the future, in Chunsheng High School, she will always remember her sister's kindness.

This transaction is absolutely worthwhile, Mrs. Mu is really smart!
But at this moment, Yiyou's heart was dripping with pain, 20 taels was such a big sum, it was enough for Li Shi and Changsheng to chew for a year.She gave Chunsheng in this way, and she still felt a little bit aggrieved.

But thinking about what Mu Ran said about the prices in Yuejing, Yunzhou japonica rice costs ten yuan a bucket, and it costs fifty yuan in Yuejing.There is also Chunsheng's talent, it is okay to call himself a genius in Yunzhou by reciting two sour poems, but he will not be able to succeed when there are so many talents at the foot of the emperor in Yuejing.

After all, having watched her grow up since she was a child, and having experience in her previous life, she has absolute confidence in Chunsheng.In his previous life, he was only admitted as a scholar, and then he didn't make any progress. In this life, his brain didn't suddenly open up, and he couldn't touch the edge of the top three.

Today is the festival, and the wives of the family have done another great deed, and they are in a particularly comfortable mood, and there is less scruples in speaking.

Yiyou didn't know each other for many years like they did, so she sat quietly by the side, listening more and talking less.After a while, she became more and more relieved, Xu Shizhang was leaving, and everyone's memories were surrounding her.

It turns out that Yun County is not just monolithic on the surface, and everyone has a very good relationship with Zhang's privately.For more than ten years, all the officials have watched and helped each other, jointly responded to the assessment by the Ministry of Officials, and experienced many things together.No matter how long a person's life can be, they spend one-third of the time together. This friendship is not usually deep.

It can be said that in private, their relationship is stronger than a monolithic one.This also made her completely relieved, so what if Changxian Cheng came, after all, the strong dragon could not overwhelm the local snake.

"This garden has become really big. I don't know if the new county magistrate will be unhappy to see such a simple residence."

Still the straight-talking Mrs. Tie, but Yiyou understood Zhang's intentions.This is not for Chang Anzhi.She didn't intend to make it difficult, but the garden was well maintained, which would always make people wonder whether the county magistrate was too extravagant when he was re-elected.Refer to the previous one, it will be really troublesome.

"It is said that Mr. Chang's official residence often has patches. I also do this to make him feel at ease."

Yiyou listened very carefully, Mu Ran must not know as much as Zhang Shi.In this moment, she has captured many important points.For example, this Chang Da has a simple personality, and another example is that he is a master at solving cases...

The more this happened, the more uncertain she was. As far as she knew, the Chang family was more prosperous than the Chen family.Even though Chang Anzhi is not a direct descendant, he grew up with Chen's parents since childhood.People who come out of the heap of fine clothes and jade food like to wear patched clothes, either because they are mentally ill or because they are pretending.

Obviously, people who can choose officials are at least mentally normal, that is, they are used to pretending.But the matter of solving the case shows that this person is extremely intelligent.In just a few words, she seemed to see an old fox running towards Yun County, staring at everyone present with his long and narrow eyes.

Just as she was engrossed in her thoughts, Qiaojie raised her head again: "Yiyou, have you practiced martial arts recently?"

"En." Yiyou nodded, and she would practice for a while each time.Mu Ran has been teaching Changsheng very seriously these days, and she can't keep up with the progress.

"Then let's go out and try."

"Now?"

"Exactly now."

Before she could answer, Sister Qiao had already approached Mrs. Zhang and whispered, "Yiyou and I will go out for a while."

The two came to the garden together, Qiaojie handed over two wooden swords, one in each hand, and she also began to make gestures.Swinging the sword and dodging, Yiyou used to do farm work all day, she has strength, and her body is more flexible than Qiaojie, so she has the upper hand for the time being.

Another sword stabbed out, Qiao Jie was placed under the formation again, she put it away and she simply pulled her to the gazebo: "It's not common to have a good master teach me. When I go to Yunzhou tomorrow, I have to learn two things from Liao Jianjun as soon as possible." trick."

Yiyou likes sister Qiao's temperament the most, no matter whether she wins or loses, she will always smile, she is not at all like some young masters and misses, who want to be superior in everything, and start to retaliate wildly if something goes wrong.

"Well, Jianjun Liao knows a lot more than Brother Mu, and I will soon be inferior to you."

"That's natural, but Liao Jianjun can't teach me for long."

"What does that mean?"

Qiaojie held the sword, covered her face with a tea bowl, and calmed down her heartbeat. Mother told her not to speak out.

"He has to train every day, and I can't follow him to the camp. It's only a short time when I return home, and I can't go there before and after the curfew. I just study for a short time every day."

Yiyou hurriedly felt relieved, but her doubts became more and more serious.Why does she always feel that everyone treats her strangely recently.Especially just now in the main room, Mama Wu greeted her with compassionate eyes.Could it be that she is very haggard, that's why everyone is like this.

Although she felt something was wrong, she couldn't ask rashly.Thinking of Mu Ran's words, she will know soon.But looking at Sister Qiao's face now, she found that she didn't really want to know.

It's definitely not a good thing. If she doesn't know, maybe she can still whitewash the peace.

But when it was dark, the crowd dispersed, Yiyou got into the carriage, holding the heavy purse, after thinking about it, she got down and turned a corner to enter the official school.

The official school is next to the county government office, and the courtyard here should have been the residence of the county magistrate, but the former county magistrate of Yun county had his own house, and it was Mu Ran's turn to be unhappy, so the official school naturally didn't move any more. .

The gate of the official school is open, and most of the children who can enter here are from famous families in Yun County. They have their own sedan chairs to pick them up and drop them off on weekdays, and they don't live here.So now, looking at the snow-cleaned place in front of the door, she can easily find where the mother and child are.

"Chunsheng, Chunsheng's mother, are you at home?"

It was Chun Sheng who opened the door. When he saw her, he didn't even try to hide it. The scar on his face was full of disgust.

"Mrs. Mu is here."

Cheng ran out from inside, holding half a cabbage in his hand.Seeing Yiyou's brand-new red padded gown with mink fur trim, she felt ashamed and scratched her feet.

"Ms. Chunsheng."

Yiyou shouted like this, asking her to call Cheng Shi Second Aunt, she couldn't say that no matter what.

"What are you doing here, this is my home."

"Your family?" Yi You laughed sarcasticly: "Forget it, I don't care about your claim that I'm a bone spirit. When Mrs. Chun Sheng comes out, I have something to tell you."

Since returning from Yunlin Village at the beginning of the year, Cheng has really felt more and more guilty.Especially on the night of New Year's Eve, when she dreamed of Si Ya, she was once again sure that it was her own crimes that caused her daughter to die at a young age.Now that the conspiracy was exposed, she came out in a hurry.

"Don't blame Chunsheng, it's all because I slipped up."

Yiyou didn't retort: ​​"Today I'm talking to you about something. Master Chen's family in the east will leave for Beijing soon."

"Master?"

"Well, it's the family who is engaged to Chunsheng, and I just heard about it today."

"They didn't send anyone to tell us where we should look after we entered Beijing. Hey, maybe they don't like Chunsheng."

Yiyou's face showed surprise, Cheng's changed so much that she almost couldn't recognize her.Is this half-haired but kind-faced woman in front of her the one in her previous life who plotted her death without hesitation for the sake of a pair of children?
"I don't think I don't like it. My wife cares about you very much, so I prepared some money. It happens that Chunsheng is going to take an exam. You might as well go to Beijing, so you can have someone to take care of you."

Chunsheng wanted to refute, but looking at the bulging money bag, he just coughed.

"Since he was born as a child, even if he entered Beijing, he must be able to study very well. There are many Confucian scholars in Beijing, so there may be another fortune for Changsheng."

Cheng knew that he was dismissing her, but she let go of her temper and began to count.Chunsheng can't lose this marriage, and Yuejing City is indeed better than Yunzhou, anyway, this is a business where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"Thank you Er Ya."

"That's not necessary. If you want to thank you, you are also thanking all the ladies. Please keep the money, and I will send someone to tell the master bookkeeper that you can come to Beijing together at that time."

Yiyou left after speaking, Mrs. Cheng personally sent her to the gate of the courtyard, bowed before leaving: "I was sorry for the past few years, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Yiyou shook her body, then shook her head slightly.She could see that Cheng wanted to repent, but so what, after all, the water was hard to stop, and she could no longer show her heart and soul to them like in the past.

"If you really have the heart, you can discipline Chunsheng. No matter what, she is your son."

Cheng stood there in a daze, and didn't recover until Yiyou turned the corner.That's right, she has already harmed Si Ya, so is it possible that she will harm Chun Sheng again?
But before she finished thinking, a figure rushed up from behind, and Chunsheng snatched the purse: "Mother, make me a satin robe, no one wears patched clothes to take the exam."

Mrs. Cheng jumped up, snatched the money and held it in her arms: "Whether you wear silk or not has nothing to do with the scientific examination. You are a good student. This is our travel expenses for the examination."

"My grandma will pay for the travel expenses, and she has accepted me."

"Where does she get the money?"

"Fourth uncle is her son, so it's natural to raise her."

Cheng's eyes were full of disbelief, this was her proudest son.Since when did he become like this, he didn't even understand the most basic principles of life.Thinking of her usual behavior, she took possession of the belongings of the fourth brother's family and other clansmen again and again, and she was very proud of it. Chunsheng learned from her.

Immediately she regretted it, and Si Ya's incident finally made her understand that there are many people in this world that she can't afford to offend.Just like Si Ya, who provoked the officials and died for no reason, she didn't even dare to complain.Not everyone will let her children go, and not everyone will be as good-tempered as the fourth brother.Chunsheng is like this, how will he survive in the future?
"Your fourth uncle should raise grandma, but you are not his son, why should he raise it?"

"It was grandma who raised me. I am grandson of grandma. Grandma's is mine, and of course mine is mine."

Cheng was dizzy by him, and it took her a long time to understand: "But those are not your grandma's, but your fourth uncle's. Besides, where did your fourth uncle get the money for you to spend like this all day long."

"Of course it's Erya and Fourth Aunt. They are so rich, so they should support me. Besides, in the future, my daughter-in-law will be the lady of the housekeeper's family, but she is not half better than Changsheng. Now I like them and I am willing to have them." Yes, that's their luck."

Cheng was completely desperate, what kind of evil ghost did she raise.What will happen to the lady in charge of the family if she really gets married?It was hard for her to imagine, but seeing Chunsheng in front of her in shabby clothes, she was his mother, and she should not despise him no matter what.

With the help of the master bookkeeper, he can go smoothly in his life.Let her bear all the sins, she will be a good mother-in-law, so that she can comfort the secretary.

"And mother, if I wear such shabby clothes all day long, won't the lady in charge look down on me even more?"

Chunsheng was very clever, and he pinched Cheng's fatal spot in one fell swoop.Looking at the money in the purse, she took out a small piece: "Mother, go and make it for you. You can study hard after eating. According to Erya, the bookkeeper will leave for Beijing in less than twenty years. Let's go to Beijing together." Follow on the road.

"Row."

When he breaks out from Beijing, he will not miss any of his father's uncle who is the head of the clan, Erya who made him look like this, and Changsheng who is arrogant because of having a sister.

Chunsheng thought viciously, pursed his thin lips, and went into the room to pick up a book at will.He has to learn it well, as long as he has fame, the lady in charge will definitely cry and want to marry him.

You didn't know what happened to Chunsheng's mother and son, but she hurried home and saw that Mu Ran had already returned.

There was some blood on the side of the kitchen, some chicken feathers were still stained in the blood, and it was steaming and smelled like chicken soup.

When she walked in, she was stunned by the posture in the kitchen.Occupying the entire west chamber, the one-foot-long chopping board was filled with various ingredients. Duanyang skillfully cut it with a knife, while Mu Ran stood aside and watched the fire.

"There are only four of us, how do we make so many, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Then don't eat it. Today's Lantern Festival, you have to eat something good."

Mu Ran dodged her gaze, Yiyou walked to the pot, looked at the color of the soup, and smelled it: "There is less ginger, more sauce."

Duan Yang hurriedly added it in, and Mu Ran's pupils shrank.He had to admit that although Duanyang people were smart, their cooking was not as good as that of Duanwu.After teaching these days, don't talk about controlling the heat, sometimes he even forgets to put salt, oil, soy sauce and vinegar.

"I'll still come."

At worst, after he left, the little daughter-in-law would go to her mother's place to eat.It just so happened that Mu Yu and Chang Sheng lived together, and they could be regarded as taking care of each other.

"By the way, today I thought of a way to drive Chunsheng to Yuejing."

"Oh?"

Yiyou said: "With Cheng's love for his son, he will definitely hold on to Sister Xing. Sister Xing looks precious in Yunzhou, but in the Chen family she is just a servant's daughter. The Chen family will definitely not let her go." He will spend a lot of time thinking about her. With this marriage, he probably won't return to Yunzhou in the future."

Mu Ran nodded: "That's true, but you haven't thought about it, what if Chunsheng gets favored by the Chen family or some big shot?"

Yiyou frowned: "It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Besides, as far as I know Chunsheng, he can't be good at martial arts. There are so many scholars in the world. Although he has a good official education in Yun County, Yun County is not in Guanzhong or Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Especially It is easy to get out of Jinshi."

"What you said is also reasonable. At least at this moment, one less troublemaker can save you worry."

"That's what I came up with. Selling their mother and son as a favor, I won't suffer too much if anything happens in the future."

Mu Ran couldn't help nodding. The little daughter-in-law has a lot of ideas, and he can feel at ease when she is at home alone.

After drinking and eating, Yiyou yawned.

"If we make so many dishes, we will eat them for another two days, and we won't be able to use them up until they are bad."

She couldn't help mumbling, she just went out for 20 taels today, and now she should save some flowers.Mu Ran settled down his younger brother, sat next to her, and listened to her whispered complaints, and felt that it was even better than the songs sung by those famous actors in Beijing.

He couldn't help being intoxicated after listening to it, and what he originally planned to say was blocked in his throat.

Yiyou complained for a while, but seeing that he had no response, she also stopped: "By the way, Brother Mu has something to say tonight, what exactly is it?"

"Let's talk about it later, I'll boil the water first."

After saying that, he went out without looking back, leaving Yiyou alone in the room, thinking wildly.

After taking a shower, she finally came out, and when she asked again, Mu Ran had already prepared some late-night snacks to prevaricate.

After eating supper for the first time, Yiyou covered her bulging stomach: "Eating so much at night, I'm afraid I will become fatter than the wife of the chief secretary in a short time."

"Of course you won't."

Yiyou pouted: "When I said this before, you always answered that it's okay even if you are fat, or that you look better if you are fatter. Today you finally told the truth."

Mu Ran smiled helplessly: "That's not true, but I heard from the doctor in the army that some people are born like this. Do you remember my mother, when she had a bad spring, she was like other people in Yunlin Village when they were pregnant?" Are you so bloated?"

"That's not true, but my mother has suffered so much, even if she is not fat, she should be."

While talking, Yiyou also felt relieved, she knew what she looked like, if she was a little fat, she would be so ugly that she couldn't look at it.However, in the past six months, Li's life has been relaxed, and she hasn't grown much flesh. It seems that she will be like that.Look at her own face in the mirror, she looks better if she is thinner, if she is fatter, then she can't look at it.

Yiyou yawned when the sound of a shift was made outside the courtyard: "Husband, I've been waiting for so long, so you can tell me what's going on. Do you still want to hide it from me forever?"

Mu Ran's words reached his throat, and he couldn't help sending them down.It was a simple sentence at first, but he didn't know how difficult it was to say it until the end.

"I'm going to add some charcoal."

"The charcoal fire is still very hot, come back, tell me, don't think about me going to the kang if you don't talk."

After she finished speaking, she put on her shoes and sat on the twig: "I can't stop you from going to the kang, but I can sit and sleep here myself."

Mu Ran walked up to her, touched the pair of silver hairpins, and a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead: "The conscription is coming to an end, around the second day of February, I have to set off with the large army."

"Let's go to Yuejing?"

"kindness."

Even though he agreed, the suspicion in Yiyou's heart didn't decrease at all.If it was just going to Yuejing, others would not look at her like that: "How long will it take to go back and forth, can I come back before February [-]th?"

Mu Ran's hands trembled: "Go to Yuejing, meet General Liao, and then continue northward."

"what!"

Yiyou stood up suddenly: "That is to say, you are going to fight those Beiyi people who disturb the border?"

Mu Ran closed his eyes, then nodded deeply: "Exactly."

Yiyou's mind went blank. Legend has it that Beiyi people have monster-like eyes, and their hair is not black. Every time they go to war, they will eat prisoners of war raw.Moreover, the Beiyi people are cruel, and they have been fighting with Da Yue for many years.

"what are you saying?"

"I will definitely come back safely, you wait for me. It won't be long before I will earn you a better order."

Yiyou understood every word he said, but she understood it very slowly.Finally, she understood that Mu Ran was going to leave her. Before they got married for two months, she didn't know if she would die or not.

"Mu Ran, you bastard, didn't you say that the county lieutenant is only responsible for recruiting troops, and doesn't need to go out to lead troops. You are a liar, a liar!"
