Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 496 Li and An

She whimpered excitedly, eager to spit out the rags stuck in her mouth, and try to persuade the person next to her pillow.

Mu Ai frowned in boredom, and shouted, "Let her be quiet!"

When Cui Meng heard this, he immediately swung two whips, causing Yulan to scream.

Wei Zhixian's eyes were red with distress, and he stretched out his hand to stop it, but he was pressed down to his knees and couldn't move, so he had no choice but to shout, "I sign, I sign!"

Seeing him like this, Mu Ai hated him even more, after he signed his name, pressed his fingerprints, and immediately led everyone back to the small courtyard.

Leaving Wei Zhixian in a hurry to untie his concubine, and returned to the West Chamber with her arms around her, Yulan cried and told how Mu Ai and others broke in by force, how they insulted and beat her, and finally said worriedly, "My lord, If you divorce your wife for Lan'er, will it hinder your future career?"

Wei Zhixian said while applying medicine to her frayed wrist, "Don't worry, there are two children here. That rough woman has a soft heart, and she will never look down on the master and me. She is pregnant with the child, and she is expected to go far away." , After a few more months, I pretended to regret going back to Brother Hai. If she came back, it would be best, but if she didn't come back, in order to keep the child, I couldn't say that I would ask the fairy lady to guarantee that I, the county magistrate, would step down again. Take a step up."

"Master is wise. This way you don't have to spend money to raise your children, and it won't hinder your career. The most important thing is that the slave family can follow the master in an upright manner. The master is really the wisest man in Baihua."

Wei Zhixian was overjoyed by being flattered, hugged her face and kissed her twice, smiled, "Hold on for the night first, they will leave tomorrow, and you will be in charge of the rear office, even if she comes back later, like that You can't control anything if you are soft-tempered, it's still up to you to take care of it."

Yulan had been waiting for this sentence, and when she finally heard what he said, she immediately became elated and flattered her even more.

Before dinner, Ouyang and several children rushed back. Dayu and Tao'er asked some local people to inquire, and found out that there was a mountain bend that was sheltered from the wind twenty miles away. The small col facing south is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one part is outside. It is a shoal with gentle waves, which is very suitable for a short stay.

Everyone was very happy when they heard that, just as Shuan Shuan woke up and ate half a bowl of rice porridge, his complexion was good, and several children went in to meet the ceremony. He galloped around the room on his neck, making the fat boy giggle with joy.

Mu Ai patted Shuan Shuan's slender hands, took the document and handed it to her, "I kept a copy of this document, just in case you lose it, if there is any mistake, you Take this, and you will be free in the future."

Shuan Shuan looked at the three characters Wei Zhixian on it, and tears flowed down again.Mu Ai didn't persuade her, and sent a few children to play in the lobby with Haizi, and then cooked some good dishes by herself, and the whole family, including Shuan Shuan's mother and son, had a full meal.

In the early morning of the second day, Qiaoyun Qiaoyue packed up the soft clothes of Shuan Shuan's mother and son, and began to take Cui Meng and the others to carry the large objects around with the ledger.

Wei Zhixian was sitting with Yulan in the west wing room, splashing ink, but Qiaoyue knocked on the door, picked up the sundries on the table, and began to move this fir-carved square table outside.

Holding the brush in one hand, Wei Zhixian asked angrily, "Why did you move my desk?"

Qiaoyue opened the ledger in her hand and said crisply, "Master County Magistrate, this table was bought by our lady at Chengji Wooden Ware Store with dowry silver after we first moved here, and it cost 83 taels of silver. I remember it here. Clearly, now that our young lady and the master have reconciled, the items bought with the dowry silver must of course be taken away."

Wei Zhixian grabbed the teacup in hand and threw it out, "I didn't even buy a table for my salary of two years as an official!"

Qiaoyue glanced at Yulan, who was also full of anger, and smiled coldly, "If the county magistrate doesn't remind me, the servants will really forget about it. Our lady said that the magistrate's salary is 80 taels per month, a total of two years. One thousand 920 taels happened to be used by the master to redeem the beauty, and the 80 taels she added don’t need to be returned by the master, it is a congratulatory gift for the master to take a concubine.”

After finishing speaking, she ignored Wei Zhixian's blue and red complexion, and said to Cui Meng with a smile, "Brother Cui, madam and ladies are in a hurry, let's hurry up, there are still many things to move in the main room. Madam Having said that, although these things are too dirty to be used by the young lady and the young master, they are good to chop up and use as firewood."

Cui Meng and the others responded, with a struggle with both hands, they easily moved the desk and went out, leaving Wei Zhixian with a livid face, who was held tightly by Yulan.

In less than an hour, most of the yard was empty after entering the yard three times. Qiaoyun reported that he needed to hire a car to carry the luggage, and Mu Ai was walking around the yard with Haizi in his arms.

Qiaoyun was overjoyed, and called two more people, Yazi, to sell a dozen or so crying maids, women, and servants, and got 200 taels of silver.

Seeing that everything was ready, Mu Ai ordered the two little girls to go into the house to help Shuan Shuan. She hugged Haizi with her own hands, and the group walked through the garden, went straight to the front yard, got into the carriage, and left for the city.

Several yamen servants in the yamen of the front yard originally wanted to go in to have a look to please after hearing the noise in the backyard, but they were stopped by an old yamen servant to persuade them, and they went to have some fun.

The iron-clad county government, the flowing county magistrate.No matter who is the county magistrate, they are all yamen servants, why bother to make such trouble for themselves, if they provoke the anger of the nobles, wouldn't they also be in bad luck.

Wei Zhixian turned a few times into the courtyard, looking at the backyard as if washed with water, he really wanted to cry but had no tears.On the contrary, Yulan was very happy. Originally, she planned to replace all the household items with new ones after taking charge, which saved her effort.As for money, she wasn't worried. Wei Zhixian spent no less than 1000 taels of silver on her in the past six months. Even if he wasn't a child of a rich family, he wouldn't be too poor.

Mu Ai and his party walked along the official road for twenty miles, then turned down the small road, and passed by two small fishing villages, the stone houses in the village, and the small sampans parked by the sea, and the fishing nets and dried sea fish intertwined here and there, running and playing The children are very novel to everyone.

After walking for another half an hour, they arrived at the good place Dayu and Tao'er had found.

Sure enough, this is a rare and quiet place. The small valley is not big, and it is surrounded by arms. The hillside is covered with lush vegetation, and occasionally golden wild flowers bloom in patches. From a distance, it looks like patches of golden clouds.The spun yarn on the beach in front is not an ordinary khaki, but a rare silvery white. It rustles when you step on it, and it is very soft. Because of the buffer of the two reef belts not far away, the sea water is not the slightest maniac, and it beats slowly. Facing the coast, it is very cute and quiet, against the blue sky and white clouds, it is as beautiful as a picture.

Dayu and Tao'er had already been here yesterday, but Xing'er and Xinba Cheng'er saw the sea for the first time, and they jumped off their horses when they got close to the sea, shouting loudly and dancing happily.

Mu Ai ordered Cui Meng and the others to stay and take care of them, then went into the valley first, moved out of the villas and wooden houses, settled the tired Shuan Shuan mother and son into the guest room, and packed the luggage.

Only then did Ouyang and Ouyang hold hands and walk around, and finally ran to the beach to play with some children splashing water, having a great time.

Ouyang was afraid that outsiders would appear, so he looked at the bare ankles of his wife and daughter, stood on the shore and looked around, but Mu Ai and several children dragged him into the water, splashed him all wet, the family played together, the sea breeze It blows their laughter away, it's really a rare good time in the world...

Waking up early the next day, Mu Ai baked some snacks with a few maids, packed boxes for the children, and told them to visit a small fishing village four or five miles away.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. A family needs to stay together for a while. It is very important to show kindness to these fishermen if there is anything to do.Sure enough, around noon, the children came back with six or seven sea fish, some dried fish, kelp and other food, and said with a smile how friendly and honest the fishermen are.He also clamored to go fishing with the fishermen the next day, but Mu Ai immediately stopped them. The children are all landlubbers, and they can't swim at all. If they really go into the sea, if there are some storms and the boat capsizes, wouldn't it be dangerous? .

The children were a little disappointed when they heard the words. Dayu and Tao'er were fine, knowing that their mother was doing it for their own good, but Simba and Cheng'er were not so obedient. Seeing them winking at each other, Mu Ai worried that they would run away privately, so she had no choice but to Coax them.In the past few days, first practice the Fushui well, and then buy a big boat and come back, and let them go fishing in the sea.Only then did the children show their cheerful faces again, discussing about finding out where there is a shipyard and how big a boat they can buy.

Not to mention how Muai's family settled down, but to talk about how in Gaogu County Yamen, Yulan finally took over the power of the back Yamen. Although there were only two maid servants in the Yamen's family, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep at night, waiting for Wei Zhixian to sleep. Started to figure out what to add.

Early the next morning, she counted out her private money, called Ren Yazi, bought no less than ten servant girls, and hid their contracts of sale. She felt that she had a team and was proud of herself, so she took her hands to each shop. I went around and bought a lot of household items, ornaments and silk jewelry, and I was very satisfied with the purchase.Because the backyard of the county government used to send people to settle the debts at the end of each month, the various merchants discussed with each other a few words, if the county magistrate loves this beautiful concubine, if he is really willing to spend money, it is fine to keep the accounts.

Wei Zhixian looked at the courtyard restored to its previous decoration, even more magnificent, and thought it was his concubine who paid for it himself. He usually regarded himself as a scholar, and he was in charge of it. He never cared about the family, so he didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, they sang and laughed day and night with their concubine until three days later, at the end of the month, the shopkeeper of a woodware shop checked the accounts.
