Chapter 228 A Huge Harvest

The next day I went to Mu's house, when Gong Shi saw Mu Jiaojiao, the surprise on her face was worse than that of the fifteenth lady.

Only Mu You showed her a loving smile as always: "Jiaojiao, you have grown up, and you are becoming more and more like your mother."

"Really?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly, and sat down next to him, "It must be because I have grown up. Many people don't seem to know me when I come back this time."

"You're still you, what's so special about you?" Mu You smiled and asked, "How was your life in Yangzhou? After you came back, I knew that you and your husband had gone to Yangzhou. Father is very happy for you. My Daughter, she really has the ability."

"What kind of skill is that? If you give me [-] guan, I can also buy a county magistrate for Shishilang!" Gong's yin and yang said strangely.

Mu You immediately looked over coldly: "I haven't settled this matter with you yet, how dare you come to me? Now I want to talk to Liu Niangzi, you go out."

Gong's face was full of dissatisfaction, but she didn't dare to explode, she could only give Mu Jiaojiao a sneaky look, then turned around and left slowly.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao was puzzled, but she didn't ask any further questions, she just pulled Mu You's sleeve and said, "Father, stretch out your hand, let me feel your pulse."

"I'm fine, it's just that I'm too tired after walking for several months. I'll just rest for a few days." Mu You said helplessly, but still stretched out his wrist.

Mu Jiaojiao listened carefully to his pulse, and found that he was really just overworked, causing the wind and cold to enter his body, but a minor illness, and now it is almost over.She breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're fine. I was so scared to death when I saw the letter saying that you were sick. I couldn't sleep well last night. I wish I could come and see you soon."

Hearing this, Mu You sighed lowly.

Mu Jiaojiao was puzzled: "Father, what's wrong?"

Mu Yiyi on the side said with a face of shame: "Sister, I found out about this matter yesterday. In fact, the letter was not written by Dad, but he dictated it, asking Brother to write you a letter to tell you that you are safe." Who knows, after the letter was written and taken out, A Niang quietly asked Brother to add a few lines at the end. That's why it's what you see."

This explains why he only wrote letters to Mu You when she was ill, but not to Mu Yi.

It stands to reason that if the father is seriously ill, any daughter should return to her mother's family to take care of the sick.Especially since Mu Yi is still the eldest daughter, this matter must not get past her.

At that time, she was puzzled when she learned that Mu Yiyi didn't know about it, but now, Mu Yiyi's explanation explained everything.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded slightly: "So that's the case. But as long as Dad is fine, that's the best."

"It just cost you a waste of time." Mu You sighed, "I have traveled thousands of miles from Yangzhou back to Chang'an, and at this time, if you are not careful, you will be ill again."

"My illnesses are minor illnesses. I'll be fine after taking some medicine and resting for two days. The most important thing now is that I'll come back and confirm that you're all right. Then I'll let go of my heart. If I were in Yangzhou, I would definitely be If you are restless every day, even if you ask someone to tell me that you are fine, I will not believe you." Mu Jiaojiao whispered.

As she said that, she smiled at him again: "Besides, I really want to see you, too."

"Hey!" Mu You sighed, and reached out to touch her head, "It's Dad who is sorry for you."

"Father, you have given me this life, and you have raised me up to this age, that is already the greatest kindness to me. I only owe you in this life, how can you feel sorry for me?" Mu Jiaojiao said Then, he leaned his head on his knee.

Mu You was full of emotion.

The two of them were talking, and with Mu Yiyi adding a few words from the side, the three of them enjoyed themselves happily.

While talking, Mu You suddenly thought of something: "By the way, after going to Persia this time, we took another detour to Tianzhu. There I met a person with a very strange experience. He said that their fleet There was a storm on the sea, the ship was destroyed, and he was the only one holding a board, drifting all the way to a huge forest. There are many strangely dressed people living in the depths of the forest, just like our ancestors , all live together with tens of hundreds of people, mainly living by hunting wild animals. Those people are very simple and kind, they took him in when he was in trouble, and gave him a lot of strange things. Then he found that there Many women will also grow some things in the place where they live, and those taste good, and they can be eaten with fire, without seasoning. They can also be eaten raw."

"Later, before he left, those people specially prepared a lot of food for him, and he relied on those to find it all the way back. When he told others about his experience, others didn't believe it, they only thought he was talking nonsense .As for some of the food he still has at hand, other people dare not touch it for fear of being poisonous. I saw him pitiful, chatted with him a few words, and thought what he said might be true. Thinking about you, don’t you just like to eat some food? Is it a novel thing? And we don’t have those things in the Tang Dynasty, so maybe they have some medicinal value, so I bought some from him.”

"It's a pity that it's been a long time. He didn't have many things on hand, so he only sold me a few weird-shaped things, and I brought them back, under the bed!"

While talking, he bent down and took out a small bundle from under the bed.

Mu Jiaojiao was secretly surprised when he heard his words.When she saw what was in the bundle, her eyes couldn't help but start to light up.

"Father, do you know what this thing is called?" She suppressed her excitement and asked.

"I heard from that person, it seems that he called this sweet potato or something." Mu You said, "Anyway, this is something that our New Tang Dynasty doesn't have, so you can call it whatever you want. By the way, Does this work for you?"

"It's useful! It's really useful! If what I expected is right, this thing is even more useful to Liu Lang!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help hugging him, "Father, you went too far this time." It's worth it! This harvest will have unexpected benefits for Liulang, you, and perhaps the entire Xintang Dynasty!"

"Really?" Seeing her so excited for the first time, Mu You didn't know how to react for a moment.

Mu Yiyi also looked surprised: "Sister, what is the use of this thing, so that you value it so much?"

"Sister, I will talk to you about this later. But now, you'd better write a letter to your brother-in-law and ask him to prepare more money. The more the better, it will be useful in the next year." Mu Jiaojiao turned back and said.

Mu Yi was as if in a fog, but she still remembered her words in her heart. "I'll write to your brother-in-law tonight about it."

At this time, Mrs. Gong suddenly came in again: "Master, Second Lady is back to see you."

Before the words were finished, I saw Mu Luan walking in with one hand on his waist, with an extremely huge belly.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao's eyes immediately darkened, and a sneer flashed across his eyes.

Mu Hao walked forward slowly to salute Mu You, and Mu You's expression became gloomy.In front of so many people, he just snorted coldly: "Since you are pregnant, don't run around. Didn't the doctor tell you to give birth at home? At this time, you came here again what for?"

"I heard that my elder sister and sixth younger sister are back, I can't help but want to come back and see them." Mu Yan said in a low voice, then turned his head and smiled flatteringly at Mu Yan and Mu Jiaojiao .And when she met Mu Jiaojiao, she was also obviously taken aback, with a hint of surprise on her face, followed by regret.

Mu Jiaojiao also smiled at her.On the contrary, Mu Yiyi, as the sister of Mu Yuyu's mother, didn't even show a smile on her face. Instead, she scolded in a cold voice: "Sister, you have gone too far! You are pregnant and have a child!" , I’m afraid of accidents, just invite a few more doctors and stable women. Why do you use the excuse of father’s illness to trick the sixth sister back? Don’t you know that the sixth sister is not in good health, and such a long journey will also damage her health? And for the sake of Cursing my dad, when did you become so selfish? If I go to the Yamen to sue you for disobedience, the government will definitely find that the evidence of the crime is convincing and convict you!"

Mu Yulu was scolded so much that she shook her body, her eyes turned red, and she saw two big teardrops swirling in her eyes: "Sister, do you think I haven't thought about it? It's just that I have hired many doctors. They all said that my pregnancy was extremely unstable and I might not be able to keep it. I managed to save the baby until now, but the doctor said that the baby was born weak and my body is not strong enough, so it is very likely that I will have a difficult labor. They said so Seriously, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night. I couldn't help it, so I wanted to ask my sixth sister to come back to help me. After all, her medical skills are so good, and I can feel at ease with her by my side. "

"Then if you ask her for help, write a letter and beg. Why do you want to trick her into coming back with the excuse that Dad is sick?"

"That's because... because before they left Chang'an, I just had a few arguments with her. I was afraid that she would still be angry with me and would not pay attention to me. I was about to give birth, and there was really no time to delay, so I I made such a bad plan, and I did it because of helplessness!" Mu Hao said with a choked voice, looking extremely aggrieved.

After saying this, she walked slowly to Mu Jiaojiao, and pretended to bow down to her: "Sixth sister, if you hate me for lying to you, I will have no complaints about what you want to do after I give birth. But Now, I'm pregnant with your nephew, you won't just watch anything happen to your nephew, will you?"

"Sister, it seems that my previous explanation to you was in vain." Mu Jiaojiao just said.

Mu Hao's eyes flickered a few times, and then he sniffled again: "Why don't I listen to your explanation? It's just that this child is already here, so I can't give him up, right? This is a life after all, you My brother-in-law has only one seedling in his family, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to me helping the Gu family carry on the family line, so..."

Mu Jiaojiao chuckled lightly and didn't answer any more.

Gu Wenhua, who was outside, heard the commotion inside, and finally couldn't stand anymore, so he hurried in, cupped his hands to Mu Jiaojiao and said, "Sixth sister, we were all at fault for what happened before, and we will accept the punishment whatever you want. But now, For the sake of you and Er Niangzi's sisters, please keep the child in her womb! As long as we can keep this child, our Gu family—”

As he spoke, he slowly raised his head.When his eyes fell on Mu Jiaojiao's face, his voice suddenly stopped.

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips curled up into a slight smile: "What do you, the Gu family, plan to do? Well, second brother-in-law?"
