Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 392
After lunch, the children were a little drowsy, especially Cheng'er and Tao'er. Because of today's departure, they were so excited that they almost stayed up all night last night. Only now did they appear sleepy, and Mu Ai drove them to take a nap .

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, the sky in August suddenly changed its face. The sun was still shining brightly just now, but now a few dark clouds floated from nowhere, the sky dimmed, and it began to rain. The rain slowly turned into moderate rain, which was quite long-lasting.

Because of the aura shield, there was no trace of wetness in the 100 meters around the villa. Kong Xi and the others went to the riverside to inspect the house twice. They reckoned that the house would not be flooded away in the middle of the night, so they came back to report to the mistress.

Mu Ai gave orders to stay here temporarily for a day, and set off on the road when the rain stopped early in the morning. When the children woke up and saw it was raining, they all gathered downstairs. They saw their mother holding a book, Leaning leisurely on the deck chair outside the door, the crackling raindrops in the sky hit an invisible membrane, and then converged into a stream, flowing down out of thin air like a small waterfall, which is really novel and interesting.

The children ran to the edge of the diaphragm, reached out to touch it, laughed and went into the house, moved the tables and chairs out, found a flat place, and began to read and practice calligraphy. They pretended to be very hardworking, but in fact they were just curious.

However, they picked out the verses related to rain and read them, which was very suitable for the occasion. Xiao Fang and his servants were also very happy. Talking about a few anecdotes about the Jianghu attracted Kong Xi and others to listen to the excitement.

Mu Ai was disturbed by the noise, so she had no choice but to take a dustpan of walnuts and half a box of red dates out of the space, and brought a few maids to peel the walnut kernels and peel off the dates, preparing to make walnut cheese at night.

I don't know if that girl Xing'er was frightened by thunderstorms when she was a child. Whenever it rains, the daytime is fine, but she can't sleep well at night. One time, Mu Ai accidentally gave her a bowl of walnut cheese, and she slept very sweetly.Therefore, every rainy day in the future, walnut cheese must be made at home.

Of course, with all five children present this time, plus an old urchin-like Mr. Gu, more preparations must be made.

Xiao An Xifu and the others were quick-witted. They prepared the walnut kernels and red dates in half an hour. The good round-grained rice is placed in a bluestone trough, and it is pounded into a slurry while adding water, and the dross is filtered out with fine gauze.Take a small casserole and boil water, pour rice milk into it, then add walnut kernels and jujube paste, stir evenly while cooking, and finally add two spoons of golden honey, the kitchen will slowly be filled with sweetness, which will make you cherish flowers The younger girls, Caiyun Zhuiyue and Caiyun Zhuiyue, sniffed their little noses and took deep breaths and sniffed a couple of times from time to time.

Mu Ai was amused to see it, and when the pot came out, each of them shared a small cup, only a few girls were happy to thank them again and again.Xiao An brought another bowl to Mr. Gu, and the rest was stuffed in the casserole.

After everyone had dinner, the children drank walnut cheese again, sat down and lit four lanterns, and refused to leave in the very bright living room, staring at their mother eagerly, needless to say, Mu Ai also knew that they were I was thinking about the cartoon, but fortunately, I taught Dayu the simple operation a few days ago, and the kid was cautious and never moved, so he simply took it out and let them fiddle with it by themselves.

A few young people cheered and ran to the entrance of the hall to shout. Except for Yan Li and Lu Yun who were on duty, everyone squeezed into the living room with a hint of shyness, and Mr. Gu sat on the sofa unceremoniously. , picked up a red apple and held it in his hand, ready to watch while eating.

Mu Ai thought the room was stuffy, so she ordered Xiao An to open the windows to ventilate, and called two guards on duty who almost stretched their ears into rabbits to enter the house, and then sat on the porch to drink tea and enjoy the rain. The figure presumptuously occupied her heart.

I can't remember where I saw a sentence, what we miss is never that person, but the time of love with all our hearts, the time when we used up all our purity and all our true feelings.Now she can only let herself believe that she doesn't love him, she is just lonely, and she just misses the days when she was accompanied by others.But why when she thinks of that figure, she always feels such a dull pain in her heart, so painful...

The children still reluctantly put away the computer after running out of battery power. Everyone saluted, and each started to get busy and get ready for bed.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes on the road hundreds of meters away. Although it sounded a little blurry in such a rainy night, except for a few maids in the room, they all knew martial arts, and their ears and eyes were more sensitive than ordinary people. Of course they all heard it.

Kong Xi glanced at the torches around the villa and the lanterns in the house, hesitated for a moment, Mu Ai guessed what he meant, and said with a smile, "You don't need to turn it off, passers-by must have seen the lights, besides, our family Now you don’t have to be as cautious as you used to be.”

Kong Xi bowed his head in salute, and took Yan Li and others out.Sure enough, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer to her home, Mu Ai turned around and told Tao'er, "It's getting late, let's take the younger brothers and sisters upstairs to wash and go to sleep, and Dayu stays to entertain the guests."

"Yes, mother (aunt)." The children agreed, and went upstairs one by one. There was only curiosity on their faces, but no worry at all. In their hearts, mother (aunt) was an omnipotent person, regardless of who came. Whoever it is, whether they have any malice towards their own family, there is no need to worry if there is a mother.

Dayu stepped forward to help his mother sit on the sofa, raised his hand and poured a glass of honey water to his mother. Before he could speak, Kong Xi rushed in to report, "Ma'am, seven passers-by came outside, saying that it was rainy night and it was difficult to travel for a while. I can't find a place to take shelter from the rain, so I want us to make it easier and give me a place to rest."

Mu Ai nodded, "It's not easy to go out, please invite guests in, don't be lazy."

Kong Xi responded and went out, Xifu and the others heard Madam say please, so they divided two people into the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks, the two went around the screen and walked to the door, took a piece of thick linoleum from the small cabinet and spread it, and then Brought out a few pairs of light shoes.

As soon as he had prepared these, Kong Xi attracted a few slightly embarrassed strangers in. The first man was only about 30 years old, with dark eyebrows, clear eyes, high nose bridge, tight lips, and black hair. A silver hoop was neatly tied on the top of the head, a stone blue shirt, a black belt, and a pair of brown short boots on the feet.Such an ordinary appearance and clothing, but it gives people a sense of integrity and nobility, and one dare not look down on it easily.

The five people behind him are also dressed in ordinary clothes, but the long knife on the waist shows their status as guards, but the last one is obviously different, with black clothes and black trousers, a thick back, and a faint stern look between his brows. There are no weapons, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a quack.

Xifu and the two just took a look at it for a while, and then they smiled and greeted the guests, "The servants greeted the guests, the road outside is muddy, the servants prepared some dry shoes, and asked the guests to change them first." After that, he lightly took the coir raincoats that several people were holding in their hands, and then bowed his head to wait for them to take off their soaked boots on the pine stools beside them, put on cork pads with cotton soles, and use good sheepskin to make dough children's slippers.

The leading man in Tsing Yi bowed his head slightly to thank him, sat down and calmly changed his shoes, and then ordered several attendants to untie the long knives on their waists and put them on the table beside him. One of them seemed to disagree, and he stared at him He glanced at it and did it immediately.

Xi Fu Kong Xi looked at each other, and then led them to turn around the screen and enter the hall.

Several people were taken aback when they saw the decorations in the hall which were obviously different from what they usually saw, but the man in Tsing Yi had some understanding on his face, and when he saw Mu Ai in a water blue dress, with her sideburns slanted, standing in the hall to welcome the guests, she felt deeply He became more determined, and asked, "Excuse me for being abrupt, but the title of Madam is Madam Huguoxian?"

Mu Ai secretly praised in her heart, this man's eyes were sharp enough, but he nodded with a smile on his face, "The guest guessed right, it is the king."

The man in Tsing Yi immediately lifted his shirt and knelt down, saying, "Chi Yuntao, the inspector of the Water Conservancy Department under the Ministry of Industry, has seen His Royal Highness."

The people behind him also knelt down quickly, and Mu Ai stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile, "Lord Chi, you don't need to be too polite. When you go out, this king only thinks of himself as a merchant, and Master Chi can also be a member of Luhui. good?"

Chi Yuntao knew that this madam, who had been full of legendary stories in the two days since he returned to Huadu, must not like to put the title of prince in front of others when he spoke like this, so he immediately bowed his hands again in a kind manner, " It's difficult to walk on a rainy night, disturbing Madam's peace, I hope Madam will forgive me."

"Sir, you are being polite. It is convenient for others and for yourself. Please sit down and serve tea."

Just as Chi Yuntao was about to step up and walk towards the weird-looking seat covered with snow-white brocade embroidery, he suddenly remembered the mud-stained clothes and trouser legs of his own, and said with a little embarrassment, "Excuse me, Ma'am, do you have a vacant room? Let me change it later." Put on clean clothes."

Mu Ai immediately ordered Xifu and the others to lead them to the next room, which was used to bake clothes for the family in winter. After a while, Chi Yuntao and the others came out refreshed, and the host and guest were seated again. Except for the big man in black who was sitting on Chi Yuntao's hands, the other five were sitting on the brocade benches behind them.

Chi Yuntao explained, "This strong man is not my servant, but a fellow traveler who happened to meet when he was leaving the city, so we walked together together."

Mu Ai nodded to express that she didn't mind, and said with a smile, "How can you all walk in such a rainy night?"

A gloomy look flashed across Chi Yuntao's brows, and he thought for a while and said, "I am in a hurry to go to Rongcheng, I thought the rain would stop in a while, but I didn't expect to miss the village and town for the night."

Mu Ai knew that he wasn't telling the truth, but they met by chance, so they didn't intend to ask further questions, and said with a smile, "You must not have had dinner yet, if you don't mind, just have a meal with me, okay?"

Just as Chi Yuntao was about to answer, a loud grunt came from the belly of the big man beside him, causing everyone to look at him. The big man's face turned red immediately, he groaned for a while, and choked out a sentence, "Niu's stomach is really hungry, which makes...uh...madam laugh."

This man obviously has a simple and honest temperament, but he has a natural face that makes people afraid at first sight. At this time, he tried his best to speak politely, which made his neck red from embarrassment.

　The child's operation is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and I will go to the hospital to accompany her for a few days. I will try my best to do double shifts in these two days. If I can't hold on, I will do single shifts for a few days.
