When the villagers saw the Mu family, they were all overjoyed. They honestly and sincerely brought out brewed rice wine or sweet fruits from their homes to entertain them.
The news of the pardon order came to the isolated exile village half a quarter of an hour ago.
Since most of the people in their village were exiled prisoners, the pardon order had an impact on them, so the village chief, with the help of several juniors, went to every household in the village to inform them.
However, the villagers don't seem to be enthusiastic about the news that they can leave Yuecheng. Most of them have already taken root in the exile village, and their ancestors will probably live here safely in the future, and they are not willing to return to the capital. Go inside. Even those who were exiled in the same group as the Mu family were mostly unwilling to return to the sad place in the capital.
The emperor pardoned their crimes, but it was impossible to return the confiscated mansions and properties. Even if they returned to Beijing, they were just ordinary people with nothing. It was better to stay in the exile village and have a stable place to live. To be fed and clothed.
As soon as they heard that the Mu family planned to return to Beijing, the villagers also showed a look of reluctance, but each one of them bluntly stated that they did not intend to leave Yuecheng.
It was such a large exile village, full of people, but no one wanted to return to Beijing.
Except for Aunt Cui and her family in the second room, they are aloof and difficult to get along with, and their relationship with the villagers is quite alienated. Naturally, they have not received news that Ruan He's family has returned to the exile village, and they are still sulking at home.
As soon as they heard that they would be returning to the capital soon, the villagers couldn't sit still. They hurried to their homes one by one, and each brought several baskets of miscellaneous food, such as a nest of free-range eggs, a large can of rice wine, Vegetables, melons and fruits, in any case, they took all the thoughts stored in the family and placed them around their family.
Mrs. Mutai's family looked at each other in confusion, looking at a scene similar to before, and smiled helplessly.
"Everyone, listen to me first. We understand everyone's thoughts. We came here just to let Xiao'er, Xiaohe and the others say goodbye to the big guys. We have no other intention. So many good things come from Xiao'er and the others' carriage can't fit what you brought out from your homes, so please take all your thoughts back first..."
Mrs. Mutai glanced around, and when she met the villagers' warm and sincere smiles, her old eyes couldn't help but be filled with tears.
She raised her sleeves and gently wiped away her tears, and then persuaded the villagers with utmost sincerity to take back all the things they had brought over.
The village chief is already over seventy years old, with a gray beard hanging down his chin, and a simple smile on his old, wrinkled face.
"Old Madam Mu, Divine Doctor Ruan, if you want to go back to Beijing, we guys can't help you much. If you can't take these thoughts with you, then let us give you a ride."
Regarding the farewell matter, the villagers enthusiastically proposed to come together to say goodbye, and Ruan He naturally agreed with a chuckle.
……
When they returned home from the exile village, the sky had gradually darkened, and Zhang's mother and daughter and Mu Zhengyuan were left at home to cook rice.
When they pushed the door open and entered, with the little light remaining on the horizon, they saw that the yard was filled with many wooden boxes, piled up in one place, and they looked quite heavy.
The twin brother and sister were jumping around the wooden boxes, squatting aside and watching with excitement and curiosity, but they did not dare to touch them. Hearing the sound of entering the door, the two children looked up and happily called over one by one. They then took Mrs. Mutai's hand and asked their grandmother to come over and take a look at these things.
Ruan He also took advantage of the situation and squatted down, holding the lamp on his side. With the flickering light of the lamp, he could clearly see the wooden boxes on the ground.
These are not ordinary wooden boxes, but made of precious red sandalwood. They are painted with a layer of bright paint. Each box is wrapped with bright red silk that symbolizes happiness and good luck.
Now it seems that the purpose of these big boxes is obvious and clear.
"These are..." Ruan He raised his eyebrows and murmured softly. He placed his fingertips on the red satin, tapped it lightly, and raised the corners of his lips, "Grandma, they seem to be for you."
Before Mrs. Mu could respond, Mu Zhengyuan happened to hear the commotion and walked out of the room. He pointed at the large number of sandalwood boxes around him, with a smile on his face and something else in his eyes. He said as if jokingly:
"Mother, these sandalwood boxes were sent from the city lord's palace... they are said to be the betrothal gift given to you by the old lady! The old lady said that he wants to propose marriage to you, the madam."
When the word "betrothal gift" fell, Mrs. Mutai subconsciously turned away.
Even at an advanced age, when a marriage proposal was proposed, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable as if my face was burning, and I rarely showed a shy expression.
Mu Yunchao looked like he was watching a good show. Seeing his grandmother's embarrassed expression, he came over intentionally or unintentionally, raised his voice deliberately, and asked: "Then I have to ask carefully. Grandma has to promise the old man Propose marriage?"
Ruan He chuckled, and after hearing this, he replied in a calm and weird tone: "Grandma has agreed to stay, do you still need to ask?"
Aunt Zong couldn't bear to see the two juniors making fun of Mrs. Tai. Her gentle face also showed a little smile, but she came over to help Mrs. Mu, gently supported Mrs. Mu, and then asked: "Yunxiao, Xiaohe, when do we set off back to Beijing?"
Mu Yunxiao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Mutai who was still shy, and said in a deep voice: "After grandma's wedding is completed, we will set off back to Beijing."
Mrs. Mu Tai has been a widow for more than thirty years and has worked hard for the Mu family for so many years. Mu Yunxiao also hopes that her grandmother can have a stable home, so as the younger generation, they must stay and properly participate in this marriage.
After all, Mrs. Mutai was thin-skinned. She and the old man were already in love at dusk, and she didn't want to delay Mu Yunxiao's return to Beijing. With her insistence, the marriage was finally settled simply and without any big fuss. manage.
The two old men chose an auspicious day that was not far apart, and under the witness of a group of relatives, friends and juniors, they arranged the marriage in the city lord's palace.
When leaving Yuecheng, Mrs. Mutai solemnly handed over little Panda to Ruan He to take care of, and left most of the money in the family to them.
After all, there will be a lot of money to use after returning to the capital. (End of chapter)
