Chapter 108: New Year's Day

Today's Mujia Village, different from the quiet of the past, early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers sounded everywhere in the small village, the villagers put on the clothes that they wore during the festival, went to the relatives and households, went to the elders or relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings, said some auspicious words to each other, brought each other a few pieces of home-sprinkled rice cakes for New Year's gifts, noisy and shouting, very lively!

The little babies are not lazy today, they get up early, drill all over the village, and walk around the places where they have picked up firecrackers, to see if they can be lucky enough to pick up the firecrackers that have not been released, if they pick it up, they will be happy or something, and they will be happy to put it in their arms, and keep it for the New Year, when no one else has a cannon fight, he will take it out and put it again.

Occasionally, I would meet one or two charitable elders, who would say auspicious words like honey, and the elders would give them a piece of rare caramel to eat, or give them a penny of New Year's money......

When Cai Wei's carriage drove into the village, they were met by a group of elated little children, who watched the strange carriage enter the village, and they all followed the car noisily to watch the excitement, wondering whose noble relatives had visited.

They saw Mu Xiucai wearing a azure satin dress, and jumped out of the car first, followed by the Xiucai lady who was wearing a satin cloak with silk and fur, and she didn't see her for a few days, Xiucai was like a different person, white and beautiful, and the whole person looked more than ten years younger.

Behind the Xiucai lady, there is the eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Xiucai family, these two sisters are like fairy daughters, handsome and tight, they are wearing brocade cloaks that reach the ground, and each led a little baby with pink makeup and jade to get out of the car, those two little babies are Wen'er and Wu'er of the Xiucai family. Now these two little babies are white and fat, with round faces, and they no longer look like the original thin monkeys.

"Mu Chongwen, is that you?"

A half-grown boy screamed tentatively.

When Wen'er saw the kid, she smiled and said, "Mu Loach, it's only been a few days, don't you recognize me?" ”

The kid named Mu Loach scratched his brain, and smiled embarrassedly: "Why don't you say that your family has changed, don't say it's me, even my father and mother may not recognize you when they see you at first glance." ”

Du Shi stepped forward and asked kindly: "Loach, I haven't seen you for many days, is your mother okay?" ”

Mu Loach smiled and said: "Thanks to my aunt's blessing, my mother is fine, but I often remember my aunt, saying that my aunt went to the town to make a fortune, I'm afraid she has long forgotten our poor relatives." ”

Du Shi smiled: "You skin monkey, I haven't seen you for many days, but you haven't grown at all, you are still so naughty, oily and smooth, carefully you Lao Tzu pumped you." ”

After speaking, he took out his purse, took dozens of dollars, handed it to Mu Loach, and asked him to take this group of little babies to the grocery store at the head of the village to buy candy to eat.

The little babies got this big money, cheered happily, thanked Du Shi, hugged Mu Loach, and went to the grocery store at the head of the village.

After Du Shi gave the money, he put away his purse with a smile, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his mother-in-law, Mu Baishi, leaning against the gate, stepping on the threshold, staring at them with a smile.

Du Shi was startled, I don't know how long she has been watching here, but her appearance with a smile or not is only terrifying!

"Yo, the second child is back, it's so magnificent, it's really a rich man, it's just different, just give a few little monkeys a reward, you can reward dozens of articles, even my old wife is red!"

Mu Bai's yin and yang smiled weirdly, with a smile on her face, I don't know if she was joking or beating her son.

Cai Wei stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you are a few dozen cents of those boys, it is not worth anything, let my mother also give you dozens of cents of gifts, do you think it is okay?" ”

Mu Baishi choked, stared at the loose eyelids and just wanted to scold, but suddenly remembered what the old man told her, don't anger them, so she had to swallow back the dirty words that came to her mouth.

Mu Zhongli heard the noise outside, ran out of the house, saw the second family, and ran over enthusiastically.

"Second child, I can look forward to you coming back, my father and mother have been babbling all morning, quick, what are you doing here, come into the house."

As he spoke, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Fu'er, Cai'er, come out quickly, your second uncle is back, come out quickly and help get things." ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the main house was suddenly lifted, and I saw the two brothers Mu Chongfu rushing out of the house like a whirlwind, and they didn't even say hello to everyone, and went straight to the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the burdens piled up in the carriage were revealed, and Mu Baishi and Mu Zhongli were so happy that they immediately grinned happily when they saw the burdens piled up like a small mountain.

"Oops, that's a big burden!"

Mu Baishi forgot about Cai Wei's unreasonableness, and looked at the burden in the car, and his eyes were about to fall out.

Mu Zhongqing also smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes: "Hey, just now, you kid be careful, be careful not to break things!" ”

Li Shi and Cai Bottle also heard the sound and came out, Cai Bottle wore a peach-colored muslin jacket today, this is her best dress, made two years ago, now it is a little short, because she has worn it for too long, her elbow has been worn out, although she embroidered two large chrysanthemums in that worn place, but the peach-colored clothes with two chrysanthemums the size of cow look really abrupt and unacceptable.

When she saw Cai Wei wearing a brocade wool-encrusted shawl, standing there elegantly, holding a gilded and gem-encrusted hand stove in her hand, like a young lady from a big family, she was so jealous that she wanted to kill.

She is the eldest daughter of the big house, she has been smart and clear since she was a child, and she is deeply favored by her parents and grandmothers.

And Mu Caiwei is just a second-room daughter who is not treated by her grandmother, her family has long been separated, since she was a child, she has always been the object of bullying and ridicule by herself, and she has always only looked up to herself.

But now, she was wearing silk and satin, standing there proudly, her cold eyes were arrogant, as if she didn't see herself, and she didn't even bother to fight her at the least of the greetings between sisters.

Why is she so crazy? Why is she now wearing silk and satin, and she is wearing patched cotton clothes, and they are small and old, at this time, she must be proud in her heart, she must be laughing at herself, looking down on herself!

She has been a proud person since she was a child, and this feeling of being compared to someone who is far inferior to herself at first glance makes her feel a nameless karmic fire in her heart, and she wants to vent, but she can't find an outlet.

After Li Shi came out, he was taken aback when he saw the magnificent Erfang family, especially when he saw Du Shi's beautiful face, he gritted his teeth with jealousy, and hated the face of the fox.

However, she is an adult after all, so she quickly suppressed her feelings, replaced it with a kind smile, and greeted her politely with a smile: "Oh, why did you buy so many things, it really broke the cost for my younger siblings, hurry up, come into the house, it's warm in the house......"

After that, he pulled Du Shi and went into the house affectionately. Cai Wei and Fei Er each took a little baby and followed behind their mother.

When I got to the room, I saw Mu Liankui sitting cross-legged on the kang, looking through the big baggage that Mu Chongcai carried into the house, and the baggage was filled with some colorful brocade clothes.

Seeing Cai Wei Niang coming in, Mu Liankui raised his head and said with a little displeasure: "Wei girl, why are all the clothes you bought for the big house?" ”

Cai Wei sat on the kang slowly, and said unhurriedly: "Although these clothes have been worn, they are all new, and the price is half cheaper than the new clothes, so I thought that it would be better to buy one more piece for each person than to buy only one new one per person." If the old man doesn't want to, he will give me the clothes to take back, and I'll buy a new one and send it over. ”

"Don't bother Sister Wei, really, this is good!"

Li was busy intercepting her father-in-law's words, for fear that Cai Wei would really take those clothes away, as soon as she saw those silky brocades, her eyes couldn't be taken off, and Cai Wei's dead girl said just now that she bought two pieces for everyone!

Two satin gowns, but she can't think of them in her life!

In her life, she only wore red muslin clothes once when she got married, and in addition, she wore coarse cloth short clothes, like this kind of satin gowns that only rich wives can afford, she dreamed of one, not to mention, the dead girl bought them two!

Cai Vase was also attracted by the colorful and colorful satin clothes, but, for the sake of her face, she resisted the urge to go through them.

She knew what Cai Wei's dead girl thought, and she must have thought that none of their family deserved to wear the same gorgeous new clothes as theirs, so they only deserved to wear some leftovers that others worn, so she bought these half-new clothes to humiliate them.

It is precisely because of this that she deliberately endured it and did not look at the beautiful silk on the kang, in order to maintain her dignity, and to prove to Caiwei's dead girl that she didn't take the clothes she brought back in her eyes at all, and her Mu Caiwei's charity was not rare!

Although, this is not the case!

At this moment, she really wanted Cai Wei to leave here immediately, so that she could pick out her beloved clothes and take off this short, ridiculous, and vulgar jacket!

Those gorgeous satins must be very comfortable and beautiful to wear, and when you wear them, there will be many people looking sideways!

Thinking that he was going to have two satin clothes of his own, Cai Bottle suddenly felt so sorry, if he had got these two clothes earlier, maybe last time, the son of the white fox Qiu who came to the village with Jiujin would have taken a fancy to her!

Thinking about it, her thoughts drifted again......

Since that time I saw him, distraction and daze have become her daily compulsory lessons, and his handsome figure has also entered her dreams countless times, making her crazy......

The baggage was moved in, Cai Wei rewarded Uncle Zhang with the money, and sent him back to celebrate the New Year with his family, Uncle Zhang took the money, thanked the master, and went back happily.

Mu Liankui and Mu Zhongli saw the big burdens one by one, and their eyes were about to burn, and they could still take care of the faces and reserves of their elders. In front of a few children, I untied those burdens and looked at them one by one.

The first bag is filled with the dresses worn by women, all of which are bright colors of big pink and green, Mu Bai and Li's age can't wear them at all, and they look too frivolous when they wear them, but the materials of those clothes are really good, and the workmanship and embroidery patterns are also one in a hundred, so several women are still satisfied with it, and Li is still thinking that when she wears this dress and goes out, she will rub some white flour on her face to make herself look younger; And Mu Baishi decided to leave the most colorful set and dress himself in old clothes.

Cai Wei looked at their greedy eyes, her stomach was about to laugh, the clothes in this burden were all collected from Lu Junchen's concubines, those little concubines, in order to attract the head of the house, often resorted to some inferior means, for example, on the clothes on the slow aphrodisiac incense, when with the head of the house, he could be unconsciously emotional, but unconsciously.

Of course, she doesn't understand incense, these. When she put her clothes into the space, the old turtle smelled a strange fragrance and specially told her.

Thinking of the consequences of these three women wearing these clothes, Cai Wei couldn't help but want to laugh, it took a lot of effort for her to hold back the smile on Yang's lips.

The second burden is a brocade quilt with two colorful brocades.

The big house is stingy, and the quilts are all old, especially the quilts of Mu Liankui and Mu Bai's have been covered for forty or fifty years, and even the cotton in the quilt has been knotted together, hard, and can almost stand up vertically.

Hearing that Cai Wei bought them a quilt, and through the burden, they felt that the quilt was thick and soft, Mu Liankui and his wife were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and even Qua Cai Wei was sensible, and when they opened the burden to see the quilt, they almost fainted.

The quilt is a good quilt, and the cotton is also a good cotton, but unfortunately the pattern on the quilt is a bit nondescript, not a gentleman, Mu Liankui only glanced at it, and immediately turned the quilt over with a red face, and no one saw it again.

Mu Zhongli was very curious about his father's reaction, and asked again and again what was going on, but Mu Liankui waved his hand, didn't let him ask any more, turned to Mu Zhongqing and said, "Who bought these things?" Where did you buy it? ”

Cai Wei said without changing her face: "I bought it, a pawnshop was closed at the end of the year, and everything was sold cheaply, so I bought all of them and used them to honor you!" ”

The old man asked again, "Haven't you looked at these things?" ”

Cai Wei pretended not to know and asked, "What?" Is there a problem with the quilt? I haven't checked these things, but the shopkeeper of the pawnshop often eats in my restaurant and won't fool me. ”

The old man said to himself, "It's good if you haven't seen it, it's good if you haven't seen it......"

Looking at the old man's exaggerated expression, Cai Wei pursed her lips and snorted coldly in her heart: "Isn't it a life-size Spring Palace embroidered on the face?" What's the big deal, she didn't blush after watching it several times, a thick-skinned old man like him pretended to be serious instead, it's really funny!

In the third baggage, she carefully picked out the clothes for several men in the big house, the law stallion likes to sell pretty, there are not a few red and green clothes, and when she wanted to defile the roses with medicine, she wore a red robe.

Cai Wei, on the other hand, chose a few clothes with extremely bright colors, such as red, green, and pink, for the men in the big house, and brought them with them, which made their eyelids twitch.

Although these clothes are good, the fabrics and workmanship are impeccable, but these clothes are not worn by the croppers, just imagine, they wear a big red robe or a big green robe, and carry a hoe to the field to dry, how terrifying and strange the scene will be!

The fourth burden is some porcelain, bowls, cups and saucers, chopsticks gargle, and even a spittoon, all of which are brought in a bag, and there is no lack of some beautifully made porcelain, which is expensive at first sight, but unfortunately, a spittoon is added to it, and those good dishes are lined to make people feel disgusting.

After inspecting the baggage, the people in the big house were very dissatisfied, and most of the things they said were good could not be bought.

Mu Liankui sat on the kang, looked majestic as an elder, and said dissatisfiedly: "I remember that I also asked for a basket of silver frost charcoal, a load of japonica rice, a hundred catties of fine noodles, twenty catties of fat pork, ten catties of Daqu wine, ten catties of lamp oil, twenty catties of soybean oil, and a hundred chicken ......."

Before he could finish muttering, Cai Wei interrupted him coldly. "Old man, how big is my carriage, you also saw it, the four burdens, plus our family of six, are already crowded, and there is still room for those things? Those items that are not in a hurry, wait for the sixth day of the first month, open the set, I bought it again and sent it to you, and it is the same. “

When Mu Zhongli heard this, he hurriedly took over the words: "Actually, if it is inconvenient for you, give me the silver, and I will buy it for you, anyway, I also have a carriage, and I can't take advantage of your silver." “

Mu Zhongqing looked at the greedy face of the eldest brother, and said lightly: "The market only opened on the sixth day of the first month, I don't know where the eldest brother plans to buy it now?" “”……“

Mu Zhongli was choked by his younger brother, speechless, and sat down in a daze.

Mu Baishi saw that her beloved eldest son was deflated, and suddenly felt unhappy, and besides, she was also worried that Cai Wei would release the pigeon, and she would be overjoyed, so she helped her son open her mouth and said: "I think your eldest brother has a very good idea, you are busy with business on weekdays, where do you have time to buy these things?" It's better to give the money to your eldest brother and let your eldest brother buy it for you. "Exactly..."

Mu Zhongli nodded as if pecking rice, and echoed in a loud voice.

Cai Wei glanced at the old lady and said, "Don't work uncle, my family is in the restaurant business, and I can buy cheap rice noodles from a familiar rice shop, but my uncle can't do this."

In a word, Mu Zhongli's face turned red, I don't know if she meant to show off her wide range of doors, or whether she was sarcastically saying that he never bought refined grains such as rice and noodles.

In the past, if Cai Wei dared to talk to him like this, he would have exploded his hair a long time ago, but since he saw Cai Wei's power, he felt terrified of her from the bottom of his heart, as if her smile was lethal, which made him shudder.

He was embarrassed for a while, and suddenly said to his daughter: "Bottle, take your sister to your room to play for a while, let's talk." ”

As soon as Cai Wei heard that Mu Zhongli wanted to break her up, she knew what the hell he had again, and because she was afraid of her, she didn't dare to open her mouth in front of her, so she took the opportunity to let her play in the bottle picking room, and took the opportunity to say to Mu Zhongqing and his wife.

Although Cai Wei hated Cai Wei, but her father spoke, she had to follow, so she got up and said to Cai Wei indifferently and detachedly: "Big sister, I don't know if I have the honor to invite my big sister to sit in my room?" ”

Cai Wei smiled and said, "Okay! ”

took Wu'er's hand, smiled, and followed her to her boudoir.

Cai Bottle lives in the ear room on the right, and occupies two rooms by himself, and the two ear rooms on the left are the rooms of Mu Chongcai and Mu Chongfu.

Walking into the room, Cai Wei took a brief look, and saw that there was nothing worth looking at, so she withdrew her gaze, sat down on a stool, and teased Wu'er in her arms.

Cai Bottle looked at Cai Wei's nonchalant expression, as if he didn't put himself in his eyes, and he was so angry that his willow eyebrows were upside down and his apricot eyes were round, and he wanted to listen to his grandfather and father's words, suppress the anger, coax her well, and cheat the silver into his hands!

However, as soon as I saw her porcelain white and pink face, her water-cut eyes, and her petal-like mouth, and then thought that she had made her father and brother first, which discredited her family, and now she didn't even propose marriage, so she hated her even more, and she just wanted to scratch her demon Qiaoqiao's face.
