Chapter 154 Moving
Time passed like flowing water, many fields in Xiaowan Village were planted with sorghum, and the 300 acres of woodland backed by the Mo family were also planted with peach trees, and the cleared timber quickly found buyers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As long as the people of Xiaowan Village are diligent, they have received a lot of money from the Mo family these days, digging a tree pit for five yuan, and repairing a wall for a day for twenty yuan, almost every family has been stained with the light of the Mo family at the end of the village.
Except for Mo Wenrui's family and He Liansheng's family, both of them have Xiucai, and there is competition between Xiucai, and the open and secret battles are endless, but now that Mo Shubai is married to the daughter of the county family, these people only dare to complain behind their backs, but they don't dare to come to the door to find trouble.
The Wang family was very dissipated, firstly, the hundreds of taels of silver sent back by Mo Wenwu had some effect, and secondly, the two nephews of the Wang family had inexplicably fallen into the river and soaked for a long time, and they did not dare to pay attention to this matter, for fear that Shubai would know the original reason and would find their old Wang family desperately.
"The wings are stiff, I don't take our old man in my eyes anymore, and now I'm married to an official lady, I can't control it." The Wang family also said such and such things in the village, and at other times she took a detour when she saw Li Niang and Shubai.
On February 15, the scholars are finally going home, they don't want to leave yet, reading in the Mo family seems to be very bright, reading seems to be no longer a pressure but a happy and interesting thing, but they can't go.
In half a month, the imperial examination will be held, and they all have to go home to make final preparations, such as asking the village chief or chief of the security department to issue a certificate, such as going to the county government office to apply for the examination, such as going back to the academy to inquire about some news, and so on.
During this time, the most relaxed is Shubai, he only reads during the day, and then accompanies the lady at night, and there are a lot of dried fish at home, when his classmates leave, they have five catties of brown sugar and three catties of dried fish, and even eat and take, the scholars are embarrassed, and after they get home, they will send slaves or family members to return gifts to the Mo family.
Because of this, when moving, the luggage was much more than expected, Lin Cuiping sent some to the Mo family at the head of the village, but the various cloths sent by the scholars were still full of an ox cart, and on this day, in order to move, Uncle Fu wrapped all the five ox carts in Xiaowan Village, and added two carriages to the family, barely finishing one trip.
The newly added carriage is relatively simple, in Li Niang's words, it is the lowest configuration, and it is assigned to Uncle Fu and Liu Shun to run errands.
According to Li Niang's original intention, she was going to leave the peach blossom in Xiaowan Village and hand it over to Uncle Fu and his wife to raise by themselves, who knew that her sister-in-law did not agree, and called Uncle Fu to talk, after the end Uncle Fu apologized to Li Niang, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Peach Blossom in a hurry, and begged Li Niang to bring Peach Blossom into the city.
"Follow Miss, don't worry, the villain is also the creation of peach blossoms, please fulfill it." Uncle Fu said.
Li Niang glanced at Uncle Fu deeply, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Since that's the case, then let her follow, and when she's older and learns something, you can pick her up." ”
What the sister-in-law meant, Li Niang also understood, was nothing more than making the peach blossom a proton, so that Uncle Fu could have some scruples, and he was not afraid that he would not take care of Mojiazhuang wholeheartedly.
It's just that Li Niang is not afraid that Uncle Fu will run away at all, the punishment of running away from slaves is very terrible, and she is confident that with her own ability and the backing of the gods, even if Uncle Fu runs to the edge of the sky, she can also catch it back!
Peach Blossom carried a small burden on the carriage of Li Niang and Qingyuan, the dumplings are also here, a few small ones can be said, in addition to excitement, there is no sadness, after getting Li Niang's permission, the three little babies are standing by the window to watch the scenery.
The convoy slowly drove away from Mojiazhuang, Shubai sat in front, greeted the villagers all the way, and when he arrived at the head of the village, he quickly jumped out of the car, and his grandparents stood at the door of the second uncle's house, and they came out to see each other.
Li Niang and Qingyuan were called to get out of the car and kowtow to their grandparents, this is as it should be, just kowtow, our blood flows in our veins, and this family affection will continue to cut no matter what.
Li Niang kowtowed expressionlessly, pulled Qingyuan and got into the car, she was afraid that she would not be able to help tearing the old face of the Wang family, and the Wang family knew her own business, although she was dissatisfied with Li Niang's attitude, but she could only roll her eyes twice, who told her that the old Wang family did something wrong.
Mo Laoxiu felt that there was something wrong between his old wife and his eldest granddaughter, but it was important to win over the eldest grandson now, so he would talk about it later.
The convoy was delayed for a quarter of an hour, continued to move forward, and arrived at Huali Hutong before noon, Liu Shun came to the front station a day in advance, and at this time opened the courtyard door with Kuangming and his wife to greet the master, because of the name and Ming Niangzi conflict, now Kuangming and his wife are called Kuang Uncle Kuang and Aunt, they have no children, and they have a very strong sense of belonging to the Mo family, and they are also very respectful to several masters.
Because of this loyalty, Shubai made Kuang Ming the chief housekeeper, and Aunt Kuang was in charge of kitchen matters, Ming Niangzi was the internal manager, and Liu Shun was the external manager.
There are still a few servants in the backyard, this is easy to say, please work for a long time or buy someone directly, Lin Cuiping solved the problem in half a day, Shubai's long follower has not yet landed, this is more difficult to do, because Li Niang spoke, the long follower must know martial arts, and it is not good if there is no martial arts foundation.
Shubai said: "It's difficult to find such a person now, but anyone who knows how to do martial arts either joins the army or votes for a dart game, so it's better to buy a few young ones and train them yourself." ”
Li Niang's original intention was the same, as soon as her brother said it, she agreed, and asked her sister-in-law to find Ya Po to buy two fifteen-year-old and two ten-year-old boys, the younger two were prepared for Qingyuan.
At this time, the impact of the famine is still very far-reaching, many of the refugees stranded around the capital have been sold into slavery, Ming Niangzi handed a message to the Hua Ya Po's house introduced by Hua Niangzi, and Hua Ya Po came with a group of people the next day.
Hua Ya Po is the eldest sister of Hua Niangzi, naturally knows the details of the Mo family, married the daughter of the county order, and has dealings with the British government and the Du family who brewed wine, so Hua Ya Po didn't dare to do anything at all, and the people she brought were very clean, and there were no messy people.
Lin Cuiping intends to cultivate her sister-in-law, and pulls Li Niang to pick someone, the two sisters-in-law sit under the eaves, the spring breeze brings warmth, the wisteria fragrance is scattered, and the two beauties, one big and one small, cover their faces, but the noble and elegant temperament can't hide it, Hua Ya Po secretly said at a glance, no wonder her sister has been telling her to be careful, this aunt and sister-in-law are really shrewd people, those eyes are bright, as if they can see through all your thoughts.
Li Niang has never bought anyone, she is a soy sauce party, come to see the excitement, the whole process is handled by her sister-in-law, she only observes silently, and then her sister-in-law tells her why she chooses this and why she doesn't want that, she understands, buying people is buying loyalty.
