"Yes, father said the same. That man is at the age where he knows his destiny. A family like ours cannot be avoided. Why not go to the capital?"
The Old Madam Zuo looked at the dried up branches outside and said after a while: "It's time to winter!"
Hidden! Old Madam Zuo was old and not foolish.
"Yes, madame!" Left Lady replied.
"Right now, your brother has a few promising children, and Wen'er is someone who can live up to her expectations. I'm afraid that Sang'er's future husband and grandson will be part of their family in the future."
Old Madam Zuo squinted his eyes happily.
Seeing that the two of them had finished with their business, Mu Rousang explained the matter of returning to the small mountain village. When Old Madam Zuo heard that Yang Zixuan had also come, he couldn't help but praise him profusely, and even specifically told Left Lady to entertain him well.
"Since I have nothing better to do at home, why don't I bring him along? This year, I've been working with Hibiscus, and I've become more and more experienced!"
Although he still jumped a little, he was able to distinguish the severity of the matter, and had also erased the temperament of a child. Left Lady was both happy and sad at the same time, but his son was too sensible to act like a spoiled child in front of her.
Mu Rousang leaned into Old Madam Zuo's embrace, pursed her lips and laughed: "Even if he doesn't want to, my brother will still send him off. There's still his lichen in Little Mountain Village! "He is my brother's creditor, so I won't force him to take care of the land properly. If we manage it well, I'm afraid you won't have to worry too much about my second cousin's marriage."
Left Lady knew that the place was a place to earn money, but he never thought that it would be a place to earn money. He regretted losing the money and wronged his own son, but he didn't know that he would have already taken the money away from the Mu siblings.
"Fortunately, your brother was sensible and didn't pity the silver. When it comes to this matter, your aunt even thanked your brother properly." Left Lady was very sincere.
Mu Rousang's bright eyes turned and she smiled: "Aunt, if you really can return to the capital, you have to find a good marriage for my brother, if you can help my brother, the old saying goes, marry a wife to a sage. Good aunt, you have to open your eyes wide and look carefully, my brother will count on Aunt to help!"
Old Madam Zuo laughed: "Sure, sure, daughter-in-law, Sang'er is personally begging you, you better open your eyes wide and choose. If you are afraid that you cannot see, I will lend you that pair of reading glasses!"
With Mu Rousang's permission, the Left Lady did not need to worry about Zuo Ren anymore, and quickly agreed to take care of this matter, which actually made Mu Jinzhi more at ease with her marriage.
After chatting for a while longer, Yu Xiuzhu really sent people to look for Left Lady, so she had no choice but to fire off Old Madam Zuo before she left.
Mu Rousang accompanied Old Madam Zuo and chatted for a few more days. Seeing that she was a little overboard, she invited the four new girls and carefully slept with them.
At night, because of Yang Zixuan's arrival, there was a feast set up across the screen, and it was only until midnight did they disperse.
On the second day, but it was just five o'clock in the morning, Mu Rousang was already dug out from under the warm blanket by Chun Xiao and the others. After a while, they got on the carriage and rushed back to the small mountain village.
This time, they did not stop at the county town, but when they arrived at the small mountain village, it was already dinner time. Zhang Fukang had long since stopped, and called the little girl to clean up the old residence, and then burn some incense to remove the bad luck, before lighting the carbon basin s inside the house for three days and three nights without extinguishing the fire.
Today, he got the old man's words and was bringing the workers to unearth under the peach blossom tree. When he reached the evening, he saw cook bringing out a white mantou and inviting the workers for dinner.
"Manager Zhang, Manager Zhang, Young Master are back!" As soon as the gatekeeper entered the second door, he started shouting at the top of his lungs.
Zhang Fukang was squatting on a bench smoking a pipe when he heard the servant's words. "Where are we? Isn't it going to be another two days? "
The servant said: "It's young master that sent Brother Yan Mo back to report. I'm afraid that the carriage has already entered the village and did not stop at the county city, instead it went straight for the small mountain village."
Hearing that, Zhang Fukang was speechless. If the girls wanted to come back, there were still a bunch of tough men in the old house!
He hurriedly smashed the tobacco in the bottom of his shoes, stood up and cleared his throat, "Well, the young masters and young ladies are coming home soon. You guys take the steamed buns back to your residences to eat. Oh right, give each of you another two steamed buns."
Zhang Fukang instructed cook to fix his clothes while he went ahead to find Yan Mo, who had just returned with a letter, to talk to him. Yan Mo then quickly left the courtyard to look for Mu Jinzhi.
After Mu Jinzhi heard his report, he laughed: "Perhaps he is afraid that those rough men might bump into little sisters, let's stop at the entrance of the courtyard for a while, and wait for the workers to leave before going in."
He was not worried that they would have to wait when they got home, so Yan Mo told the coachman that he was going to go back, and told Xi Yan and the coachman to inform the owners of the other cars.
This time, the arrival of the group did not attract the attention of the small mountain village villagers, because there were many carriages going back and forth in the village. Furthermore, it was dinner time, so they were not as eye-catching as in the past.
On the morning of the second day, Mu Rousang had still not recovered from the shock of the carriage, and Manager Zhang and the others were already waiting outside.
Helplessly, Mu Rousang could only rise from the bed and bring the few girls to the main hall to sit, then she said to Chun Yan: "Go, bring Manager Zhang in, and also instruct him to eat some white porridge, accompany with some pickled vegetables, and cook a few salted duck eggs. Also, cook some steamed buns with shrimp filling and fresh meat filling."
"Miss, what would you like to eat at noon and at night?" Chun Yan saw that she didn't mention the dinner.
Mu Rousang muttered to herself for a while, then said: "I remember that there is a family in the village that has over ten sheep, and I will ask some people to sell them later. Second cousin was a weakling, and after hearing Aunt say that when he comes to winter, someone must be warm before he is able to fall asleep, and at night, there are even a few carbon basin s placed in the house. I remember that Mother Qian said that lamb is the best nourishment, so we came to Little Mountain Village.
Chun Yun immediately agreed and left the corridor. He first told Mu Rousang his orders, then turned around and invited Manager Zhang in.
Manager Zhang first greeted him, and then sat down under Mu Rousang's orders.
Mu Rousang was not interested in going around in circles, she went straight to the point: "Manager Zhang, there are a lot of things going on this year, it's been hard on you!"
"Thanks to Miss Hong Fu, this year's harvest in the manor is ten percent higher than the previous years! In addition, although the newly bought orchards have yet to bear fruit, due to the large slope, the servants' uncles gave them thousands of chickens, adding a few hundred silver taels. "
Zhang Fukang gave a formal response, because after seeing his wife, he would often lift him up to his eyes to give some pointers, and his ability to do chores became more and more powerful.
Mu Rousang nodded her head, and said: "Go and get the account book, are you here to collect the cabbages in the winter?"
"My lady is wise, many of the workers in our village have been hired, and now that winter has come, I have no choice but to ask them to help me with the loose soil in the orchard, and to dig a hole in the ground beside the tree roots, and to bury some fertilizer under the tree roots when the ground is frozen."
He quietly raised his head to see that Mu Rousang was listening intently, and said: "It's just that we still have more than half a month to wait, the weather this year was good and cold, and the cabbages on the ground have already been wrapped up, and young lady is using a servant, what do you think?"
Mu Rousang said: "Understood, this is not a big deal, everyone wants to earn more silver from the previous year, so that they can cut off a few kilograms of meat to celebrate the new year, or buy a few pieces of candy to coax their children. This year, we should use them, the women who are part of the family, to also help out, no matter how many people we have, we can avoid the chaos in our family."
"Yes, young lady. There are almost a hundred people in the small manor now, so we can handle all the cabbages and vegetables."
After Mu Rousang heard this, she agreed and said: "When you go down later to look for Chunyi, this year's winter robes have already been prepared. You can call people to go buy some cotton for you. In addition, I shall also reward you and your wife with a set of Shu brocade. "
After saying that, he picked up the teacup from the table, and Zhang Fukang quickly stood up and left.
He was also busy for a few more days, and finally, it was the day of Qin Taohua's wedding. Mu Rousang consecutively ate a few rounds of wedding wine, and the little girl beside him was already very familiar with the road, so she didn't have to worry about it, and even wrote out the bonus contract that she made for the year before, wrapping it in red paper and matching it with a few sets of front pages. Only then did he bring the little girl to the Make up.
And after two more days, it would be the day Qin Taohua would be married off. Naturally, Mu Rousang had to accompany her for a while, as Qin Taohua and Zhu Fugui were truly childhood friends.
That day, Mu Rousang brought lass to her room to send her off. Peach Blossom was smiling so wide that her teeth could no longer be seen, and said: "You came, to really be a bride … "He's not even allowed to drink his saliva. He's going to be thirsty for a whole day for nothing. It's still too early for Dusk Fashion!"
"Miss Qin, you should bear with it. The last time our second young lady was married, she was also thirsty for a day, but she said later that she was not exhausted, but was about to faint from hunger. That night, when she ate the raw dumplings, she ate one at a time, causing the married woman and the groom to jump in fright." Everyone knew that the second lady she mentioned was Liu Guixiang.
"Really?" Peach blossoms revealed a pair of dimples!
Mu Rousang smiled gently at the side: "Are you afraid that rich brother will starve you? Back then, he had agreed to let you have some meat. "
"Rou Sang, it's because you eat too much that you grow up!" After saying that, he glanced at her chest, then lowered his head to look at himself. He realized that he was much fatter than Mu Rousang, yet his chest was still the same size.
