After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister

     There was a knock on the door, and the person who came was a middle-aged woman accompanied by an official.

    She held the list in her hand and took the initiative to introduce her identity as the wife of the shopkeeper.

    The purchase of supplies is done by her.

    "There are only three pairs of white silk and four pairs of soap shoes, but there are thousands of layers of shoes, do you want them?"

    Ordinary people wear self-made Melaleuca shoes, only men with a bit of identity wear soap shoes, and there are not many stocks in the town.

    Mu Wanqing understood as soon as she heard it. The lady boss made these Melaleuca shoes herself, "If you want, please come with five pairs. If there are cloth ends and silk threads, prepare more for us."

    "Good."

    Mu Wanqing's heart moved, "Are there any clothes that don't fit the upper body? Both men and women are welcome, and the price is negotiable."

    The proprietress patted her thigh and smiled, "Yes, yes, my daughter is getting married. I have prepared a few new clothes for you. If you want, I will give them to you first."

    Just as I was about to doze off, someone brought a pillow, a total of four sets of new clothes, both inside and out, and Mu Wanqing had it all.

    "Ah, do you have any new bedding? Sell it to me too." The newcomer will definitely prepare it.

    The proprietress was very happy to do this business when she saw that she gave her money neatly. Anyway, there was still more than a month before the wedding, so it was too late to prepare again.

    In this way, Mu Wanqing got two brand new bedding, she touched the mattress, it was filled with soft wheat straw, which was quite thick.

    The quilt is soft and feels quite good.

    The proprietress suddenly patted her head, "By the way, there are guests who can't pay for the wine, and the mortgaged rabbit fur cloak, do you want it?"

    "Take a look."

    It is a men's black rabbit fur cloak. It is wide and 60% new. It looks ordinary, but it is warm when worn. Mu Wanqing couldn't help but secretly delighted in her heart and asked for it directly.

    This is a good thing for winter. It can be worn on the body to keep warm and used as a quilt cover at night.

    Of course, the price is also very beautiful, plus the items on the list, it cost a hundred taels in total.

    The proprietress is very satisfied, but the people in the second room are a little bit painful, this money is too useless.

    Mu Wanqing didn't care, if it wasn't for the small space of the mule cart, she would have liked to buy more.

    With the supplies in hand, don’t panic.

    The officer is watching the whole process and supervising the whole process.

    The four sets of clothes I bought were brightly colored, one set was turmeric, one set was pink, one set was bright red, and one set was cyan.

    Two sets of thin winter clothes and two sets of thick winter clothes are a bit big and the materials are ordinary. This is a small family with limited conditions.

     Qian Shi swiftly made the clothes smaller for her daughter.

    Hot water was delivered, and everyone agreed to let Mu Wanqing wash first.

    She took a comfortable hot bath, washed her hair, put on clean clothes, and she seemed to be alive.

    Looking at the dirty bath water, she couldn't help pursing her lips, she had never been so dirty before.

    She didn't wear new clothes, but changed into smaller men's clothes, which was more convenient.

    Mu Wanqing divided two underwear and the blue one for her mother, the other colors were too bright.

    Although Mrs. Mu felt that it was not very suitable, she happily accepted it under the persuasion of her daughter.

    The whole family took turns taking a bath, which is a rare opportunity.

    After taking a bath, we ate the mutton soup and hu cake provided by the inn for dinner.

    The mutton soup is a bit fishy, ​​but the meat is tender and not old and not woody, and the hu cake is quite good.

    Mu Wanqing, with slightly damp hair draped over her shoulders, commented while eating, "You should put some pepper."

    "Pepper is too expensive." Mu Zicheng was very happy to eat, it was already a fairy life for him.

    "If it's like this every day, I'll be satisfied."

    There are hot baths, clean quilts to sleep in, and enough to eat.

    Mu Ziang's mouth was full of things, and he kept nodding. Only after suffering did he know how happy he is now.

    Second Master Mu took a big mouthful of sheep soup and narrowed his eyes comfortably, "This is all thanks to Qinger, Zicheng Ziang, you must remember this."

    "I see, we are all thanks to my sister."

    "Well, I will listen to my sister in the future. My sister says one, I will never say two."

    They spent money to change the two-bedroom, the one that can sleep ten people, the adults and children can squeeze and it's over.

    Old Mrs. Mu was reluctant to book a single room, saying that it was better than a prison, so she had to be content.

    The money she has on hand not only needs to meet the travel expenses of her family of more than 30 people, but also takes into account the cost of settling down at the border.

    Second Master Mu fell on the bunk and groaned in pain, "Look for the doctor, hurry up and find the doctor."

    His hand was just a hasty treatment, lying on the scooter all the way, the bumps were severe, and the injury was even more painful.

    The whole family only knew how to cry around him, and more than a dozen concubines cried heartbroken.

    The third room has the most concubines, some are rewarded by Mrs. Mu, some are the maids that Mu Sanye hooked up on herself, and some are fancy from outside.

    The euphemism is to have a son, he has only one son, and the number is too small.

    Once the house was raided, all the servants were sold, and these concubines could only be exiled. .

    Old Mrs. Mu's eyes were red, and she took out twenty taels of silver from her bosom, "Boss, go to the official messenger to check."

    Uncle Mu nodded slightly, took the silver ticket and left.

    The atmosphere in the room was tense, except for the cries, the old lady Mu's scolding voice.

    The second wife was unfilial, Mu Wanqing was vicious and cruel, and she was not good enough to die.

    How bad it sounds.

    Everyone was tired and hungry, and their whole body was aching.

    They just want to have a good rest after walking for a day, why is it so difficult?

    Mrs. Mu glanced at her daughter worriedly, Mu Jinyao looked at an unknown place with dementia, her whole figure withered like a dehydrated flower.

    She looked gloomy, "Mom, the children are hungry, let them eat something first."

    Old Mrs. Mu's thoughts were all on her injured young son, she glared at her when she heard the words, "Eat, you'll know how to eat, eat less and you won't die."

    She was so fierce, a little child cried, "Wow."

    As soon as he cried, the other children followed, and all the children were crying sharply for a while.

    The old lady Mu had a terrible headache and called her eldest grandson, "Okay, Zifeng, take the children to the next door to eat, don't make trouble here."

    "Yes." If mu Zifeng got Tehe, she couldn't wait to carry her son out, and the others quickly followed.

    The grandchildren and great-grandchildren are gone, and even the crying grandsons of the three houses have run away, leaving only the female relatives of the two houses.

    The dry food sent by relatives and friends has not been eaten yet, two steamed buns and a bowl of hot water per person are finished.

    Xiaodouding in his arms looked at him pitifully, "Dad, I want to eat meat."

    "I want to eat too." Mu Zifeng's mouth fades out, but the money is in the hands of the old lady.

    After this big change, the old lady takes money very seriously. She is not stingy. No one can get money from her, and she is even unwilling to spend more money to live in a good house.

    You can't just grab it.

    Others can leave, but Mrs. Mu can't leave, so she stays by Mrs. Mu's side.

    She gave a cautious suggestion, "Should we buy something, just in case?"

    The relatives and friends sent dry food, clothes and medicine, but no daily necessities.

    Old Mrs. Mu held on to the money and said, "What's the hurry? It's just the beginning, we'll talk about it later."

    The third master Mu couldn't help but shouted, "Mother, buy a carriage, I can't walk, the carriage is too bumpy, I need a carriage if I want to recover."

    Although the mule cart is good, but the carriage is too narrow, how can a carriage be comfortable.

    The old lady Mu hesitated, "This..."

    The third master Mu cried and cried, "Mother, you are so old, you have to take good care of it, no matter how much money you have, life is not important, mother, my son still wants to be filial to you for another hundred years. "

    The words hit the old lady Mu's mind, and she was shaken.

    Mrs. Mu took the opportunity to persuade, "Then buy an extra car, the children are spoiled and can't stand such bumps."

    Old Mrs. Mu did not agree immediately. When Uncle Mu brought the doctor back, the doctor checked and dealt with the wound. "The bone is broken, so you have to take good care of it and don't move it."

    "Doctor, I'm sorry to trouble you." Master Mu had an idea, "I want to buy some medicines from you."

    Although relatives and friends gave some, but so many people, how can it be enough?

    This is just an ordinary doctor, there are only some ordinary medicines in the medicine cabinet, and the effect is unknown.

    Old Mrs. Mu didn't buy a lot, she only took one pack of each.

    When Uncle Mu sent the doctor out, the old lady suddenly proposed to buy two carriages, one for each family, and say hello to the official.

    Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

    Uncle Mu went to look for Master Zeng happily, but Master Zeng looked at him like a fool.

    Uncle Mu beat a drum in his heart, "Sir, is there any problem?"

    Master Zeng shook his head slightly, it really was a high-ranking official who had been in the job for a long time, and he didn't eat human fireworks. "There is only a horse market in the capital. Where can I buy a horse-drawn carriage in this town?"

    Uncle Mu thought carriages were a good buy. There used to be five carriages in the house, two in each room. The old lady had her own carriage, which was spacious and comfortable.

    "The inn should have a carriage, I'll pay double the price."

    A good horse is worth seventy taels, the average one is about fifty taels, and the ordinary carriages are worth ten taels.

    I asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper only has a donkey cart that pulls goods with an open top.

    That's it, a high price was set.

    However, thinking that there is still a long way to go, Mr. Mu bravely bought it.

     And Mrs. Mu found an excuse and pulled her daughter to a dark place, her voice was very low, "Your grandmother is too salty to get in, and holds the money tightly, does your second aunt give it to you? Are you stuffed with money? Take some out, and I'll buy some necessities."

    Mu Jinyao pursed her lips and took out a silver note from her purse.

    "Buy some meat buns."

    It seems that meat buns have become a stumbling block for many people.

    In the prison, I watched the second room eat meat buns every day, and those who couldn’t eat them couldn’t forget them. Even Mu Jinyao was greedy for meat buns. Who would believe it?

    Mrs. Mu's heart is not tasteful, sour and astringent.

    The daughter she is pampered in the palm of her hand, she does not wear anything other than Ling Luo, and does not eat anything other than mountain delicacies.

    But now... I actually want to eat greasy meat buns.

    "You...find a way to have a good relationship with Mu Wanqing, she..." Mrs. Mu paused, and spit out a sentence with great difficulty, "She is a man of means, maybe at a critical moment. help."

    She mentioned her daughter, "Besides, you are cousins, and it is right to support each other."

    Mu Jinyao looked confused, "I didn't help her in the past, but now I want her to help, is this possible?"

    Mrs. Mu has a splitting headache. This child has been smart and clever since he was a child, but now, how can he accept the truth?

    "It's mutual help, you can help them drive the mule cart."

    It sounds nice, but it's actually better than walking.

    She is distressed for the suffering of her pampered daughter, for fear that she will not be able to support her.

    Mu Jinyao subconsciously looked at the shoes that were wrapped with cloth strips. The shoes were frayed. She could only tear off the fabric and tie the shoes several layers, barely able to walk.

    At this moment, my feet are full of blisters, and it hurts to cry when I pop the blisters.

    "She doesn't like me." She couldn't help herself.

    "You want to have a good relationship with people, is it difficult? You..." Mrs. Mu thought of her daughter's popularity in the past, not only men adored her, but girls also held her.

    But now, none of these people came out to help.

    "Don't think of yourself as the most honorable eldest daughter of the Mu family in the past, and the situation is different now, don't be too high, learn more from Mu Wanqing, although she is full of problems , but she can eat and drink enough to take a car, and even protect her family."

    Mu Jinyao was silent.

    A clear shout rang out loudly, "Who is hiding in the dark? Come out!"

    The mother and daughter were startled, and the eldest lady quickly wiped a hand of mud on the ground and wiped it on her daughter Bai Nen's face.

    When you are in trouble, being too beautiful is a curse, not a blessing.
