After a while, Qiu Ju turned around and came back again, and gave them some snacks, saying that the old lady had ordered them to be made and sent to the three of them.

Zuo Ren Xian and Mu Jinzhi had been messing around in Mu Rousang's room the whole afternoon, but after seeing that Chun Lian had fed her medicine and then waited for her to sleep, they packed their stuff and left the room.

"Brother Jin, are you really going back to the little mountain village?"

Zuo Renxian was not as happy as he was just now. He was naturally reluctant to part with his clever and beautiful sister.

"Well, when the weather gets warmer, I'll take her back home."

Mu Jinzhi calculated that the weather would be too cold, and that it would take about ten days for him to travel from the Shu Province to the small mountain village. Since the road was not easy to traverse, he decided to wait until it was spring before he returned.

"Can you persuade him to agree?" Then, he thought about what Mu Jinzhi had said many years ago. "But did my father ask for leave from you and Teacher? Are you going to buy land? This won't do, how can you not bring me along? "

Zuo Ren Xian was so anxious that his neck turned red. He had finally found a chance to get his hands on silver, and he couldn't afford to miss it.

"Why are you so anxious? "Isn't it only fifteen now? At least we'll have to wait until the first day of the first month before this matter will be put on the agenda. Besides, my sister isn't feeling very well right now, so don't talk too much about it in front of her."

Mu Jinzhi did not want Mu Rousang to worry about other trivial matters while she was sick, so he told Zuo Ren Xian.

Zuo Ren Xian ignored the two daughters of the Zuo family.

Mu Jinzhi laughed: "I forgot to tell you, the matter that Uncle called me over to the study room yesterday, and said is to wait until the second day of the second month, and ask you and I to work together with Uncle, in the future, we won't need to go to the academy day after day."

"Really? "Great! I don't need to face that old-fashioned man anymore. What did my father say? Why didn't he tell me personally?"

The more Zuo Ren thought about it, the more he felt happy.

Mu Jinzhi shook his head helplessly. No wonder his uncle didn't want to say it in front of him.

Uncle said that you can't just read books when writing essays, and you and I don't need to take part in the examination. Since we're a lot more relaxed, we might as well do some work early.

Previously, he was still confused about why the number of Humble Class students that could get into the top three in high school was so few. Turns out that there were many things that he did not understand before, but after thinking for a bit, he felt that he should ask Mu Yiyang and the others to do some training.

Zuo Ren Xian was born with a golden key, and was not like Zuo Renwen, who was the eldest son. He did not need to shoulder the responsibility of leading the family, and naturally liked to play around.

Hearing Mu Jinzhi's words, he did not care too much about it. He just thought that if Mu Jinzhi were to go and take care of some errands, even if he did not go, he would have to be proud in front of the little cousin in the future.

Therefore, he said, "If you want to be a servant, why would you leave me behind? It's good to have a companion for both of us."

The corner of Mu Jinzhi's mouth curled up slightly as he laughed in his heart: The older the better.

However, he still refused to obey the order, "Hng hng! "You are afraid that if I win over you, I will win over you. My sister's heart is yearning for me to become an official, I also want her to marry as the young lady of an official's family!"

What right did he have to be his sister? "Hmph, I am her dearest cousin. If I were to be an official and sit at her wedding banquet, who would dare to look down on her?"

Hehe, the more he thought about it, the happier he got. This imperial uncle of his would surely become an official in the future with just the three of him.

Thinking about it this way, he became even more proud, and even walking was different than before. He said, "Our little cousin must have 10 li of red makeup when we get married."

Mu Jinzhi thought that Mu Rousang would be old by the end of this year, and calculated in his heart, that there seemed to be over a hundred thousand taels of silver in her home, it was enough to cover her dowry, and with Mu Rousang's own silver, store, and farm, it would not be a problem to get a 10 li red dowry.

"Speaking of which, I still need to find more dowry for her. You should also help me keep an eye out. As long as the antique calligraphy or painting doesn't matter, I can buy some for her."

Mu Jinzhi thought about it and decided to do it, since his family was not short on money, it would be better to add some precious treasures as a dowry.

On the other hand, Zuo Ren Xian thought that his little cousin's dowry was already on the agenda, but he was too embarrassed to ask for more money. He just asked his mother and father for more money every day.

He replied, "Of course. The young generation of Venerable family I've been dating with has more of these things on their hands. We only need to release the news and slowly buy some of them."

However, she thought about it and went to the Left Lady to dig out some silver from there. Then, she separated from Mu Jinzhi at the entrance of the Old Madam Zuo.

He hopped all the way to Left Lady's courtyard. When he arrived, he just so happened to be in time to see Left Lady settle the accounts, and there was a pile of accounting sheets spread out on the table.

"Mother ~ ~!" "You must be tired. Let your son massage your back."

Then Zuo Ren Xian stuck to it, pouring tea and massaging Left Lady's shoulders, looking cute and filial.

The Left Lady did not expose his trick to the west and laughed: "Didn't you say earlier that you were going to the literary competition today? How come I heard that you came back early? "

"Mother ~ ~!" The doctor also said that she was sick, so she had to stay in the house by herself to think more. Since her son had brought this thing back, she was so happy, even our Grandmother gave us three a piece. "

When Zuo Ren Xian told the Left Lady in detail about what happened today, she laughed and said, "Amitabha, thank the heavens, you've finally improved a little. No wonder your grandmother gave you food, you've done a good job today."

Zuo Ren Xian remembered what he heard from drinking in the restaurant today and asked the Left Lady, "Mother, I heard that the Qingming Temple wanted to dip in safely on the first day of the second month. If we don't go and get some money, it would be better to let little cousin relax as well."

"Is Qingming Temple going to dip safely this year? "To the point where we still haven't sent any messages to the temple."

She pondered for a moment and said: "Your sister will be scared out of her wits even though the new year is still in the first month of the new year. You should be able to take care of it."

How could Left Lady not know his son's character? He pouted and knew what he was going to pull, and scolded: "What plan do you have in mind, it can't be that you're thinking of your mother's old man again, right?"

Zuo Ren Xian felt wronged and said, "Look at what Mother said, I was just here to ask for your opinion."

"Oh?!" "Tell me what it is about."

Zuo Ren Xian then told him that Mu Jinzhi was going to bring Mu Rousang back to stay for a while, and also told him that Zuo Renyou wanted them to work errands together.

Left Lady laughed: "It's fine if we go back to stay. Your sister must have stayed at home to pay respects to her ancestors on March 3rd. The annual tribute is all held in our home along the way.

"I know about this son, but from what I heard from Brother Heng, he's going to run errands for the lichen this time. Mother, my son is definitely going to follow him as well, how could he possibly be busy by himself."

If there was only one, this silver could only be considered as yours. That lichen is currently not worth much now, so you can circle around it first, and we can't make the villagers suffer losses according to the prices from previous years, right? With just a few dozen or maybe even a hundred silver, I'm afraid that the amount of silver needed to build the house will be quite a lot. If it's feasible, I'll take out some silver from my private house to borrow it from you.

Hearing this, Zuo Ren Xian was slightly unhappy, "Mother, why are you borrowing me? Am I not your son? Now that you have a proper job and a sister-in-law on you, how could you be short on these? I even saw mother give you several thousand taels last time! "

This is what your big brother should give when he gets married. The expenses outside are not comparable to home, if you get married now, mother will immediately give it to you. The reason why I lent you this is because I need to restrain you.

Every family had its own problems. Ever since his eldest son had gotten married, the Left Lady had always been thinking of other ways. He felt gratified when he heard that he had lost his eldest son, and when he thought about it, he felt that his youngest son was more considerate.

"Mother, your son won't make you worry. Besides, when the territory becomes prosperous, your son will have the biggest room and the most beautiful room for your mother. What do you think?"

Left Lady was immediately overjoyed, and laughed: "I'm afraid that it will take a few years to build this house, I will sit here and wait."

After getting her permission, Zuo Ren Xian coaxed Left Lady a bit and then left in a hurry to find Mu Jinzhi.

The more anxious he got, the more difficult it became for him. First, he went to Mu Jinzhi's courtyard, only to hear that he had gone to look for Zuo Renwen, then to hear that Zuo Ren Xian had brought the manservant over to Zuo Renwen's place without stopping, and then to know that Mu Jinzhi had gone to Zuo Renyou's study.

"I got my mother's permission this time. Come, let's go to your room and discuss things in detail."

Unexpectedly, Mu Jinzhi looked conflicted. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Uncle said that this matter was started by our sister, and that she already had a plan in her heart. She told us to go back and discuss it with her, then write it for Uncle to see."

Zuo Ren Xian felt that the white and flowery silver made him anxious to finish it immediately. He anxiously pulled Mu Jinzhi and was about to go find Mu Rousang.

However, Mu Jinzhi was unwilling to go, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop her: "Don't be anxious, it's already late, my little sister must have already drank some medicine and gone to sleep."

It was only then that Zuo Ren realised that they were already at the light, and after messing around for half a day, there was no progress at all, and he could not disturb Mu Rousang's recuperation.

Mu Jinzhi saw that he had listened to him carefully, and laughed: "Now little sister's sickness has started to improve, we will take some time to play with her, and coax her to be happy, then naturally she will be better."

"That's true, the doctor specifically told us to find some more fun to coax her tomorrow. She's still a young girl, she must love those delicious and fun things."

Since Zuo Ren Xian received praise from the Left Lady and also received a proper job, he felt that he should have the appearance of a good brother.
