"Sit down, let's talk. My brother has been thanks to you for taking care of him for the past few days. I have to thank you for that."
Mu Rousang didn't know how to react to this, but she felt that she should at least be more uncomfortable than usual.
Dong Xue quickly stood up and teasingly replied, "I don't dare to accept Miss's thanks. These are all things that I should do."
She knew that Mu Rousang had always been a man with a big idea and was also involved with the affairs of the Mu Family, so she naturally did not dare to rely on the Old Madam's gift to force him into action.
Mu Rousang lowered her head slightly as she pondered on the purpose of Dong Xue's visit. She then said: "It's already spring, so we'll be returning to Little Mountain Village tomorrow. It's not much colder there than in the city, so remember to bring some thick clothes with you to protect yourself from the cold."
Perhaps it was due to the change in Dong Xue's position, but Mu Rousang still hadn't gotten used to it, so she could only squeeze out a few words.
Dong Xue naturally agreed, and for a moment, the room was silent. Only the sounds of Mu Rousang sipping her tea could be heard.
After a while, Dong Xue pulled a smile on her face and chatted for a while before she got up and left.
Once she left, Mu Rousang placed the cup of tea on the table heavily, and asked with a sullen face: "Can you tell what it was?" If she didn't burn incense every day, she would hold her feet for a while. It must be that winter snow had come to find her.
The Aunt Liu wanted to say something, but stopped. Mu Rousang asked: "Aunt, what do you want to say, don't say it directly, you have to do it like this, it makes me really annoyed."
It was difficult for Aunt Liu to speak of this matter, and seeing that Mu Rousang was unhappy about Dong Xue's arrival, she could only bite the bullet and say: "Miss, Dong Xue probably came for the maid's matter."
"Are you saying I misunderstood her? Didn't Grandmother point her out to my brother? " Mu Rousang asked angrily.
In the future, she would still be a married woman, but the maid in Mu Jinzhi's room wanted to call her over. This made her really unhappy, and if this got out, people might even take Mu Jinzhi's place as a concubine.
Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment and could only say, "Miss, Dong Xue has not broken her body yet."
What did that mean? Mu Rousang blinked her eyes and looked at Aunt Liu.
Mu Jinzhi had never slept with Dong Xue before, as his little sister, could it be that she had to keep an eye on him? Do you even have to worry about matters in the room? Did she need to push him all the way to the end!
Aunt Liu was embarrassed to begin with, but then she realized that Mu Rousang did not know about this matter. She could only stutter: "Miss, um, did Dong Xue neglect this?"
Mu Rousang scratched the back of her head: "Neglected? Are you saying you want to pull out a yard for Dong Xue alone? Isn't that the same as mentioning an aunt? "
The Aunt Liu was unable to do so and could only make it clear: "Aiyo, good lady, this isn't the case. The reason why Dong Xue went to young master's room, was to arrange for her to be the maid, but young master has always seen that your health is not good, so you are not in the mood to meddle in other people's business.
Mu Rousang immediately understood that she did not say anything, and felt that it was reasonable. After all, she was an innocent girl, she could not casually follow others. Although she could not carry a big palanquin into the room, it was still a happy occasion.
She couldn't help but rub her glabella and helplessly smiled, "So it's because I didn't have any intention. Forget it, I will go now. I'm sure my brother knows that I'm in good health."
He then called Chunyi over and said, "You opened the box and picked out a red brocade. I remember there are a lot of materials in the box. Also, you picked out a set of silver taels and said it was from me." If Dong Xue saw these things, she would understand.
"AHH!" Mu Rousang called out to stop the spring scene that was when she was about to leave, and said: "In the end, it's still to serve my brother, you pick another two to her, and also pick up ten silver coins, and tell the restaurant to send two tables of noodles, it's still not too late, I'm afraid my brother wants to eat more wine, and tell the old lady guarding the door to watch out, and not be too greedy and play around, and keep my brother outside while he is being frozen."
Dong Xue may be able to comb her hair in a few days to make up a woman's makeup. "Got it, don't worry, young lady, this servant will definitely give you a proper warning."
After instructing them on this matter, Mu Rousang brought a few more people to play with the little Jinjie Ba. She then called for the few of them to sew the shoes for the little Jinjie, and made them into shoulders. In just an hour, a young Jinju was newly made.
"It seems that something is missing? "That's right, Chun Yan. Quickly pull out a piece of red silk and tie the hair on his head."
Mu Rousang was no exception, she hugged Little Jindan for half the night before reluctantly watched Aunt Liu carry him away. However, there was still a small knot in his heart, and he didn't want others to know what she was thinking about.
She lay on her bed, tossing and turning, thinking about her future husband, whether he was maid or a large number of concubines, feeling extremely frustrated and unable to sleep, and also thinking about returning home tomorrow. This worry and joy, actually caused her to suffer until the fourth fragment of the night before closing her eyes to sleep.
The next day, after the birds had cried for three times, a few horse carriages drove out from Zuo Mansion, the cold and clear stone tiles were grinded over by the wheels, happily transmitting the feelings of the people inside the carriage. These people were Mu Rousang and the rest, and not long after they got on the carriage, they fell asleep beside the soft pillow.
When the girls saw this, they shook their heads before taking a thick cloak to lightly cover her with. Chun Feng smiled and said, "We, the ladies, must have seen that we were going home. We were tired from last night's journey."
Chun Yi rolled his eyes at her as he jokingly scolded, "Haven't you ever gotten tired?"
The few girls' parents were all at home, just that Spring Breeze and Spring Scene were both children from the same family as Mu Rousang, Chun Yan and Chun Yi were both from the same hometown.
She secretly touched the small purse in her bosom which contained some crushed silver and a few banknotes. She thought that if she took the banknotes home, she could give her parents a few acres of land and live a wealthy life in the village.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Mu Rousang creasing her brows a little because of the noise, and immediately raised her index finger to her mouth and shushed him, signalling for everyone to stop talking. The few girls sat in the carriage and dozed off.
The carriage traveled the entire way. Fortunately, the weather had been sunny for the past few days, so the journey had been smooth sailing. It was only in the evening that they arrived at the small mountain village.
The golden sun was setting over the treetops, rooftops, and fields. The small rivers were flowing quietly, as if a mother was silently watching the village. The children were happily chasing after them on the flat ground in front of the house.
"Eh, those ducks are so fat and white." Yang Zixuan's words woke the crowd up from their stupor.
Everyone looked towards the direction he was pointing at, only Zuo Ren Xian was there shouting, "So fat, little cousin, you have it too?"
The village chief also got off the car, smiling like a spring flower as he said, "They are just walking around after eating their fill. Every time, they would walk from the village entrance to the tail of the village, and then back from the back of the village, watching as some blind villagers sneaked into the village. Look, the oldest and fattest is the boss, he called out and all the geese in the village followed suit, informing us that a thief had snuck in."
"Aiyo, the Village Head is back!" "Hibiscus rubra, Prunus mume!" A loud and ear-splitting sound came from afar.
Mu Rousang's eyes lit up, and immediately after, her smile became a crescent moon, she gently waved the handkerchief, and with pursed lips she laughed: "Big brother, look, Second Aunt is coming over!"
"Second Aunt looks pretty healthy, but she's still full of energy." Mu Jinzhi laughed and teased.
Just as he finished speaking, the village's loud voices rose and fell.
"Guodan'er, where did you die? Go home and eat."
"You dog, it's time to eat ~!"
"Steel Ox, Steel Ox!"
"Got it!"
Some of them were called 'Goudan', while the rest of the dogs were called 'Goudan', and some of the Iron Ox's children had come out of nowhere to reply.
Zuo Ren Xian's jaw dropped, he pulled Mu Jinzhi and asked: "I didn't hear wrongly, what is this name?"
When the village chief heard this, he smiled and said, "Little Mountain Village was poor before, so we can take these names to feed."
"Aiyo, how can you be so thin!" Qin Ershen had always treated Mu Rousang like his daughter, but seeing her suddenly become this thin, he was really shocked.
"Second Aunt!" Mu Rousang sweetly called out, and lightly walked over and intimately held her arm, smiling: "Second Aunt is still like this, I heard your voice from far away."
Qin Ershen was no longer the same as a few years ago, he had on a head full of gold and silver.
"You little girl, I missed Second Aunt so much. Come, let's go to my house first." Qin Ershen's personality would not change just because she had more silver, it was still as carefree as it was autumn's day.
Mu Rousang quickly pulled her back, and laughed: "Second Aunt, don't worry.
Qin Ershen then looked around, and other than Mu Jinzhi, there were two other young masters. She smiled: "Not only are you two happy to be back, I did not see anything else. Jin Jin, Young Master Yang, this is?"
Mu Jinzhi went forward and called his second aunt, and then introduced his to the people from the left.
Qin Ershen only just found out that Zuo Ren Xian was Mu Jinzhi's cousin, the son of a great official.
"Since all of you have returned home worn and worn, I presume that your home has not been cleaned up yet. Why don't you come to my house for dinner, gather, and send a little girl to notify Fu Kang's wife?"
Mu Rousang pursed her lips and laughed: "If that's the case, then we won't be courteous anymore." When she arrived at the small mountain village, she was like a fish in water, and her smile was a bit unrestrained.
