"Xiao Tong, aren't you going to help your Young Master?" Chun Yi pointed in the direction of the main house, indicating that he should take a look.
"Ah, there's no need. My young master probably ate too much! "Don't worry, with young master Mu and second cousin young master watching, my young master won't be able to do that!"
Xiao Tong sneaked a glance at Yang Zixuan who was blocked, and instantly responded to the feeling of spring in his heart. He was very pleased, but fortunately, he had helped to achieve it, if both of them were blocked, Zuo Ren might not be able to do anything to Yang Zixuan, but he could still fix him, such as using methods to make it so that he could not see the feeling of spring in his body, and so on.
Ever since that day, Mu Jinzhi became even more wary of Yang Zixuan, afraid that he would secretly climb over the wall or climb out the window to look for Mu Rousang. He kept a close eye on him, and even Yang Zixuan had to call for people to guard the entrance of the latrine openly, afraid that would not be able to resist and do something rude to him.
Mu Rousang had also calmed down after being persuaded by the Aunt Liu, and was happy to stay at home everyday as well. She busied herself with embroidering big red wedding clothes everyday, and because of the matter of plowing spring, she no longer needed to be early, and with wealth looking for old ways to arrange things, she also became a serious, woman. She didn't leave her home until the gate was closed, and instead brought the lass along to settle things every day.
Because the marriage was already decided, Mu Jinzhi was no longer worried about being chosen as a daughter, so wherever Mu Jinzhi and Zuo Ren went, they would bring Yang Zixuan along. Fortunately, the three of them were busy with the matters of the small mountain village's lichen, and did not bother Mu Rousang at all.
Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Because Mu Rousang's family received too many wedding cakes, they sent Yan Mo to send the rest of the wedding cakes to the poor families nearby. However, they did not expect to return back with such a shocking event.
"Young Master, your servant has returned!" Yan Mo and the other two did not come back until it was night time. They were sitting in front of a small bamboo table by the fence, brewing tea and matching couplets.
Mu Jinzhi carried a cup of tea and passed it to him. "Shi Shu made two extra cups just now.
Yan Mo took the tea and was not in a hurry to drink it. Seeing his anxious expression, he asked: Is there something wrong?
"To reply young master, this servant just heard it on the way back. A few of my fellow students were beaten with smacks on their way back to study, but they have already disappeared."
"What?" Mu Jinzhi's face changed, and he suddenly stood up.
"Quickly tell me what's going on!"
Yan Mo knew that he had slept with those people since he was young, so he said: "Young Master, the families that have lost their students have already sent people to report, saying that they were captured when they were just about to reach the treasury."
Ever since Mu Jinzhi planned to delay the marriage, the village's primary schools would do the same. Every time the two of them got married, they would use them as a shield to see why their teacher liked them, and why they were always loved by their teacher. This was reasonable, since they were not married yet, so they all shut their mouths, and after being late, the family would have more than just this son.
"Jin Zhi, you don't have to worry. According to the current situation, the officials should have arrived at the residence." Yang Zixuan pondered for a moment and knew what was going on.
Mu Jinzhi also felt that he was overthinking it, and thought in his heart: I can't do things like this in the future, I should not act in such a manner.
"Go to those families and ask around again. See if there are any new news. Although it is possible that someone might have taken her away to be the groom, you still have to be careful. I'm afraid that if by any chance …"
Yan Mo quickly said: "Young Master, you just need to be at ease. Those little bookkeepers all have letters on them saying that the few students have been dragged by the husband."
Speaking till here, his heart was thumping, he was afraid that he would also be pulled to be the bridegroom, if it was not mutual love, if he was missing an arm, a leg or a pockmarked face, he, Yan Mo, would not be able to take it.
"Hibiscus, we should stay at home for the time being. The officials should be coming to the small mountain village soon."
Mu Jinzhi thought about it, and that made sense, since then the Mu Family had closed their doors and only entertained themselves at home, even the matter of the lichen was pushed back, but luckily the lichen had already been bought and placed in everyone's name, so there was no need to worry.
A few days later, due to the marriage, as well as the fact that Yang Zixuan was temporarily staying in her house, Mu Rousang was not as free as she was in the past to walk around.
"Lady, I've found the few students who were beaten up by others in our village!" A cheerful spring voice came from outside the door.
Chun Yan was helping Mu Rousang with the needlework when he heard this. His hands trembled as he smiled and said: "Miss, Chun Yi probably went back to the village to listen to people talk."
The few girls were afraid that Mu Rousang would be bored senseless at home, so they went to the village to chat with people instead. They would often pick up some interesting things or talk about trivial matters to her.
Aunt Liu had a headache: "Miss, you are spoiling these girls too much. They are too fashionable in the house.
Hearing this, Mu Rousang playfully winked at her and smiled sweetly. "Good aunt, so they all have to please you. When they return to the residence, naturally, I have to mention the matter of etiquette."
Fortunately, the villagers still knew how to be polite. After Mu Rousang and the few girls returned, the rules were slightly relaxed, but, there were no elders watching them, so they quickly spread out.
While they were chatting, Chun Yi had already opened the curtain and walked in. She smiled and said, "Miss!"
Just as she called out, she saw Aunt Liu staring at her with a sullen look as she stuck out her tongue. In the end, she slowed down her pace and leisurely walked to Mu Rousang's side and reported: "Miss, there's news from the other students in the village."
Mu Rousang laughed: "Perhaps they found someone!" Those few students were not alone on the road, they also had their own bookkeepers, servants, students and servants, there were more than ten of them, so most people would not dare to make a move.
"Yes, I heard that one of them married the second direct daughter of a famous merchant, and the other married the last daughter of a county magistrate. Furthermore, he actually married the first daughter of a county magistrate." Chun's small mouth opened as he began to talk.
"Miss, you don't know. I heard that one of them was the student who married that merchant girl. He was originally engaged, but his family did not know and thus caused this incident. Now, they have already married in advance."
In short, the word 'messy' was an exceptional word. She shook her head and asked, "Which one is it?"
"The Zhong Family! Does the girl remember? In the past, the Zhong family was famous for being a tenant of our village, and due to their family being poor, only their eldest son got married and had children, but later on, it was because of the girl's pickle business that they called the men in their family to have wives and children. This Scholar Zhong was given by Old Lady Zhong to her son, and at the right time, he also entered our village's school.
"Oh, I remember now. That year when I was still young, and the village's pond was filled with dried water to catch fish, I even saw that old madam Zhong. I didn't think that it would be her home. I just don't know what the original woman would be like."
Mu Rousang only felt that because of the matter of Lai Lang and his wife, they would have to create countless of resentful puppets, in the end, it was not a good thing for them to be together.
"What a coincidence, so the current Madame Zhong is her cousin. I heard that when the Zhong Family went to drink the wedding wine, they did not expect to see Young Master Cousin Cousin Cousin Cong being their future Young Master, and the two families started fighting each other on the spot, even after the fight ended. Afterwards, the two families sat down and discussed, and the two ladies were considered to be the same, regardless of their size.
Mu Rousang wanted to sigh, but seeing how Aunt Liu was holding her breath again, just because she was right in front of the embroidery, the Aunt Liu kept reminding her not to sigh at all times. It was very unlucky, saying that things would get troublesome after marriage, Mu Rousang scoffed at the method, but she could not lower her head and do it silently.
"The spectators were lucky to see Elementary Scholar Zhong acting in such a chaotic fashion. If the two ladies were to separate, it would definitely lead to disaster. I'm afraid that Elementary Scholar Zhong's family home will not be at peace."
Aunt Liu's few words immediately extinguished the girls' burning hearts.
Seeing that, Mu Rousang did not bring up the matter anymore. She called a few servants to help her become her daughter, and as the matters of the marriage got more and more intense, many wives and wives started to get married and marry wives.
He really wanted to see how lively this place was, but he was also a woman of the same age as her. At such a critical juncture, it was impossible for Mu Jinzhi to allow her out of the house as she pleased.
A few days later, Mu Rousang accidentally saw a person. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, ecstatic as she grabbed onto the person's arm and asked: "When did you come?"
Mu Fengchai was currently in her golden year, so she was not at the required age to be able to walk around. She smiled and said: "Cousin sister, I knew that you would be very happy. My cousin sent someone to bring me here."
Mu Rousang smiled gently as she stood up and walked over to her, embracing her in her arms, and said: "Quickly let me see, but you have grown taller again. It's good that you're back, how are Eldest Aunt and Stone doing?"
Although Mulberry did not live together with Mu Yun, she was still doing very well.
"Alright, now it's my cousin. I heard from my mother that you're already engaged, and everything happened so quickly." Mu Fengchai had also heard of the selection before, and the Mulberry was a person who was unliterate. Furthermore, Mu Yiyang was far away in the tent residence, so there was no one to explain it to her.
"Come, sit by the Rohan's bed and warm your body. The weather is still a little cold, why don't your little girl help you put on more clothes." Mu Rousang pulled her to the side of the Rohan's bed and sat down, then called the little girl over to brew scalding tea for her.
