Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 315 Too Much Worry?

Mu Ai took the wine back to the space under his regretful and nostalgic gaze, and said with a faint smile, "The children are by my side all the year round, and I don't have many opportunities to get in touch with the world. It's inevitable that my mind is too simple. What can Master Xia do?"

Xia Lie's eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned on the chimney, as if he was suddenly curious about the cup in his hand, he reached out and flicked it, listening to the crisp tinkling sound, and occasionally took a sip of the wine inside, but there was no connection. Ai's words.

Mu Ai was not in a hurry, and also silently admired the silent mountains and forests under the night, and occasionally stretched out her slender jade hands to catch some drizzle that did not know when it would fall. , three points more leisurely than Xia Lie.

In the end, Xia Lie couldn't hold back any longer, and the corners of his mouth that were always slightly turned up also collapsed, and he smiled wryly, "I'll take care of the children's affairs, but you have to give me five jars of this wine every month."

As if she didn't hear him, Mu Ai ignored him, stretched out her finger and lightly touched the bubble-like aura in front of her eyes.

Xia Lie smiled helplessly, "Two altars, no less."

"Deal." Mu Ai raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her glass and touched his wine glass lightly, and suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, with a flash of complacency and playfulness in her eyes.Then he drank the wine in the glass, waved away the wine jar and glass, jumped off the roof, and went straight back to the house.

Xia Lie squeezed the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were full of that smiling face, like a spring flower blooming, Xia He shyly blooming, at that moment it seemed that the dark rainy night was reflected much brighter.

This is the first time she has shown such a sincere smile to him, it is not as light and shallow as before, it seems close and gentle, but in reality it is far away.In the past three years, he listened to her strange songs every night, and the thoughts that he still had in his heart gradually faded away, but he became more and more curious about the man who could make her heartbroken.What kind of man is it that can make such a beautiful and miraculous woman so heartbroken and persistent.Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he was jealous.

Looking up, the spring rain gradually thickened the night sky, without the woman's strange tricks, big drops of rain fell on his red shirt, slowly soaking in, soaking his back, the coolness made him hit hard. a shudder...

Mu Ai returned to the room, changed into soft cotton slippers, took a hot bath, took the cotton towel from Xiao An's hand to dry her hair, and asked, "Masters and ladies, are you asleep?"

While opening the red sandalwood box on the dressing table, Xiao An took out an ivory comb for his wife to smooth her hair, and replied, "There was light in the young master's room before, but it was turned off just now, and they should all be asleep. Miss afternoon's His complexion is not good, and I don’t know if I can have nightmares at night.”

Mu Ai sighed softly, and frowned slightly, "I originally wanted to take them out to broaden their horizons, but I didn't expect to encounter robbers when I left the house. Let them be stained with blood, I'm afraid they will get sick in their hearts in the future."
Xiao An smiled and said, "Madam is also a little impatient, today is indeed a bit too dangerous."

"Although the family is still peaceful now, but, who knows what will happen in the future, it is good for them to understand the dangers of the world earlier. If they are willing to live with me on the sacred mountain for the rest of their lives, they don't have to worry so much .”

"I heard from Dongzhi sister that there are flowers and fruits there, and it is like spring all year round. It is a rare place in the world. I also want to go up and have a look, but I will definitely feel bored if I live for a lifetime. The city is so lively." Xiaoan Stick out your tongue and tell the truth.

Mu Ai joked, "It's not that you can't bear the excitement, but you can't bear the bright moon."

Xiao An immediately blushed, pinched the corner of her clothes and pouted, "Madam, you would shame me, I didn't..."

"Oh, so I guessed wrong? Originally, I thought about transferring Mingyue back to Kao City in two years. Since you don't have that kind of thought, let it go."

"Ah, ma'am, I didn't..." Xiaoan and Mingyue have been separated for a year, and it is the time when they miss each other deeply. Hearing Madam say this, she didn't care about being shy. She just raised her head and was about to refute, when she saw Madam smiling. He fell for it again, stomping his feet in embarrassment.

Mu Ai sighed softly, "Girl, what is there to be ashamed about marrying? You are also fourteen this year, and in two years, when we come back around, it's time to get married. Among the four of Xiyuan, you Pick someone who is stable and teach more, and then you will be able to pick up your errand."

"Yes, ma'am." Xiao An bowed and agreed.

Mu Ai lowered her head and glanced at the extremely delicate jade hairpins and huge black pearl bracelets in the makeup box, and raised her eyebrows, "The things sent from Huadu are becoming more and more expensive every year, and some of them really exceed the I always feel that there is something wrong with the specifications of the Hou Mansion. Take the Seven Star Sword as an example, why is it sent to our mansion, which is unique in the world?"

"Ma'am, you're worrying too much. Uncle Xiao's gifts to our house are always the best. There are no ordinary ones. I heard that Master Cheng learned how to whip from his master. I'm afraid the sword is not useful, so just give it a try. Sent it here for the young master to play with."

"I hope that's the case. I'll sleep in a while. I don't need to tie my hair up. Just tie it with a ribbon." Mu Ai raised her hand and picked a lotus-colored ribbon from the drawer of the dressing table and handed it to Xiao An, but she was still a little puzzled. .

Maybe in the first year, Xiao Heng gave more precious things to make amends for himself, but in the next few years, he will give more and more, and even some of them are rare things that should be paid to the palace, which is definitely not right. .However, it is impossible for someone as shrewd as Xiao Heng to use his position as the Procurement Department of the Inner Court to steal tributes and send them to her.In the end, he couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply ignored it, and everything would be understood when Huadu asked him face to face.

After tying up her hair and putting on a shirt, Mu Ai got up and walked to the two rooms at the end of the second floor, touched the foreheads of the three children, and found that none of them had any fever and slept soundly, so she was relieved. I left Xiao An in Xinger's room for the night, and then went back to sleep...

At the end of Shenshi on the evening of the second day, Chunlai came to the north gate of the city, while Mu Shiba was chatting with the team leader on duty at the gate, while stretching his head anxiously from time to time to look outside the gate.

Li De bared his rhubarb teeth, patted Mu Shiba on the shoulder, and joked, "Mu Shiba, you have been waiting for half an afternoon, and you look so impatient. Who are you waiting for? It can't be you." How are you, little friend?"

When Mu Shiba heard his teasing, he quickly changed his expression, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Captain Li, you can't make such a joke." After speaking, he looked at the nearby city gate that was deserted because it was getting late, and said in a low voice, "I'm waiting for our master."

"Your master, ah, but Mrs. Xian?" Li De asked in surprise.

Mu Shiba nodded, "That's right, our master and our little master are going to visit us today."

Li De immediately slapped his mouth lightly, then rubbed his hands together, and said, "Oh, my stinky mouth, why do I just spit out all kinds of words. I will go up and kowtow when I see Mrs. Xian. My old lady is here There is a memorial tablet at home, and incense is offered to her old man every day. If she hadn’t opened a common people’s medical center and gave up such a precious Sichuan pockmark, my mother would have collapsed on the kang.”

Mu Shiba thought of his master's beautiful appearance, how could he have nothing to do with the word "old man", a little dumbfounded, and said, "Why is our master an old man, there are few people in the world who are more beautiful than our master Woman..." Halfway through speaking, he felt that he shouldn't casually talk about the appearance of the master, so he quickly pursed his lips.

Just as Li De was about to speak, he saw four horses running towards him from a distance outside the city gate. The first were two teenagers, the older one in royal blue clothes, with a handsome face and a calm demeanor.The one in the scarlet shirt is obviously younger, but the corners of his mouth seem to be smiling all the time, his eyes are flexible, exuding a mischievous air.The two men on horseback in the back, in Tsing Yi and short boots, look like they should be servants.

He hurriedly motioned for Mu Shiba to take a look, and Mu Shiba ran over immediately to help take the reins of Baolan boy. When the boy got off the horse, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Eldest young master, second young master, young Mu Shiba Greetings to the two young masters."

Dayu stretched out his hand to pull it up, and said with a smile, "Treasurer Eighteen, why are you so polite after we haven't seen each other for a few months? It's not like you don't know the rules of our house."

Shopkeeper Eighteen's eyes were full of gratitude, "Madam is kind and tolerant, but we are servants but we have to be ignorant of our duty. The young masters have worked hard all the way." After speaking, he stretched his head and looked behind several people, asking, " Madame and Miss..."

Dayu smiled, "My little sister is asleep, the road is bumpy, and my mother told me to hurry up, it's a waste of time for shopkeeper Eighteen to wait."

Mu Shiba waved his hands in panic, then pointed to Li De beside him and said, "What's the point of waiting a year, little one? This is Captain Li who is in charge of guarding the city gate. He takes good care of our shop on weekdays. I waited with my little one for a long time."

Dayu turned around and cupped his hands in salute, and said, "Thanks to Captain Li for taking care of me."

Li De quickly returned the gift, "Young master is really trivial, it's all a trivial matter."

Dayu looked at a few soldiers standing against the wall not far away, and said with a smile, "For our family to enter the city today, all the brothers have been waiting for a long time. In the evening, the Eighteenth shopkeeper will set up a banquet in Xiankelou, and accompany me Brothers, drink a glass of wine to refresh yourself. Captain Li and the brothers must come."

Li De refused to accept it, not even daring to say it.But Mu Shiba laughed, "Captain Li, don't be polite. I have long wanted to invite the brothers to gather together. Today, our young master has sent a message, so we are going to have a few drinks."

In fact, Li De was very willing in his heart. The Xiankelou was the best restaurant in the city, and the people who went in and out were either rich or expensive.As a small team leader on duty at the city gate, he only received two liang of food and rations per month. Even if he was on duty during the day, he was a bit filial to the convoy, and he had to distribute some to his brothers, so not much fell into his hands.Therefore, although I often hear people talking about how good the food and drinks are in that restaurant, I have never been there.What the young master said today was so polite that his vanity skyrocketed, so he agreed with half hesitation.
