Chapter 50: The Visitor

Shen also understands that in terms of qualifications, his children are indeed inferior to his sister-in-law's Shoucai, but as a mother, his own children are the best, but this perspective is useless when the county capital heads the Yuan Hall exam. The invigilator doesn't have that perspective.

"I also know that the children say that success is only half possible, and there is a situation when they think of Shoucai, not so much that he gets along well with those people, in fact, it is also those people who are optimistic about Shoucai's qualifications and intersect with him!

Shen Shi fell silent as he spoke, sinking into his own thoughts.

When I first heard Mu Lan say Lotus Grass, Shen's heartbeat was very fast, but this kind of thing seemed impossible to think about, plus Mu Lan said that he heard someone say it, and Shen's heartbeat accelerated because of the fear caused by this incident.

However, in the final analysis, the Shen clan still hoped that what Mu Lan said was true, so that Mu Yuan and Mu Ye's chances of success would not increase by a little.

Shen was pondering, Mu Yi was in a daze, but the water was boiled in the end.

After calling a few small ones to come out and scoop water and freshen up, and then telling Mu Yuan to go to bed early, this new home finally quieted down.

It is rare to see such a good sun in winter, so Mu Lan hurriedly took out a pot or two of plants in the room early to absorb the sunlight, plus spit it out by himself.

The Muyuan brothers have already set off here, although Zhumei Town is relatively close to the county, but it still takes more than half an hour on the road, and the number of flying feathers is limited, so it is not possible to start early.

Mu Yi also went to a blacksmith workshop in Zhenshan to do temporary work, his blacksmith identity is still very useful, plus many blacksmiths in the workshop have gone back after the Chinese New Year, and there is a shortage of manpower, so the price of the iron workshop is very good, slightly higher than when he was in the county, but he doesn't care about food.

Shen continued to tidy up the house, because he was unfamiliar with the place when he first came here, and he also cleaned every day, and Mu Lan, as a pseudo-child, did not plan to go out to call friends and companions (in fact, there was no one he knew at all),

After two days, something finally changed, and a neighbor came to the door.

The person who came was in his early twenties, wearing a large jujube red jacket with fur trims, lined with a Tibetan horse-faced skirt.

Although it is the most ordinary gray rabbit fur, it still shows that the person's family background is slightly solid, because she has a pair of silver swallow hairpins on her head, red gold rings in her ears, and her hands are in an embroidered hand.

The most important thing is that there is also a person who looks like a servant woman, in his fifties, holding a simple food box in his hand.

Looking at this person, I don't think it's like a young lady who lives here, but if I don't comb a woman's head, it's even more like it, in short, it doesn't look like a neighbor who will live around.

"Oh, I'm going to come straight to the door, I shouldn't bother you, sister-in-law!" The person who came spoke was very familiar, but when he heard this, Shen didn't know how to answer.

You say don't bother, but you really don't know this person; You said to disturb, people didn't provoke you when they came with a smile, how can you talk about this!

Or Mu Lan asked directly at a young age: "Who are you looking for this sister?" "It doesn't matter if the age is the same.

It's always more flattering to call your sister than your aunt. (Mu Lan quotes)

Hearing Mu Lan's question, the people who came laughed even more, so happy that both Shen and Mu Lan felt that this person seemed to be a little wrong.

"Oh, this little girl has a sweet mouth, this sister-in-law is so blessed!" The man was still talking as he stretched out his dancΓ΄me-covered fingernails and pointed at Mu Lan.

At this time, the hostess of a nearby family happened to come back from grocery shopping, and saw that this person's face changed and changed, and finally came over.

The male owner of the family next to him is surnamed Ge, it is said that he is a carpenter, and the hostess is also surnamed Ge, who is a little older than Shen, and Shen saw this person and said hello: "Sister-in-law Ge!" β€œ

Ge Shi nodded at Shen, but greeted the strange woman first: "Isn't this because of the girl, rare guest, rare guest!" β€œ

After saying this, he said to Shen: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce my sister." This is the lady in charge of the winery at the front of our street, and her husband's surname is because she is the chief of our street. β€œ

Neighbor Ge Shi slightly accentuated her tone when she said the word chief, but her tone, coupled with her already slightly sharp voice, highlighted the strangeness of this person.

But here Shen is half understood, the person who came is estimated to be the larger power table on this street, the Shen family visited in a bit of a hurry before, and for the time being, he only said hello to the left and right families, in addition to Ge's other hostess is not there, now think about it, Ge may have deliberately not introduced this person.

Although I don't know why this street is under the management of this young woman, the county official is not as good as the current one, and the face of the person in front of him must be given.

"It's my fault, I'm really sorry, please come in, please come in." Shen introduced the Yin family lady and the neighbor Ge Shi into the door while talking, and the Yin family lady smiled at the Ge family for some reason, and led the people to walk in first, but Ge Shi, who had come once, shirked and said: "I have to go back to prepare my family's lunch, so I won't bother!" ”

After saying this, he turned around and left, and didn't say a word more, although the pace of walking was not big, but there was always a bit of a sense of running away in the wilderness.

Besides, it's only about 9 o'clock in the morning, which family's lunch will be prepared so early, and it is better to make excuses! Mu Lan complained in her heart.

"It's also that I didn't do it well, I thought that the sister-in-law of the Zhou family next door would probably introduce me to you, but I thought that on the day you moved here, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family had something to do, so I left in a hurry. I thought that the sister-in-law of the Ge family would probably say a word or two about me, but now it seems that the sister-in-law of the Ge family is probably a little busy, and she didn't remember to mention me a word. "The lady of the Yin family, who had just sat down, didn't wait a second before she said a lot of words.

"Why, I was supposed to visit you, but now I'm teaching you to come to my messy place!" Shen instructed Mu Lan to hurry up and make a cup of brown sugar tea while explaining to the lady of the Yin family, "I'm also busy, I should have said hello to the neighbors a long time ago." ”

"I haven't had time to ask my sister-in-law's surname until now, but I'm the one who is a guest. Don't be surprised sister, I'm like this, I speak straight! ”

"Where can I deserve it, my husband's surname is Mu, the wood of the trees, my mother's surname is Shen, and the Shen on the side of the water word, don't you know how to call you Hu?"

Although the lady of the Yin family called her sister in her mouth, the Shen family did not dare to call her sister directly.

Hearing what Shen said, the young woman waved her hand: "My maiden name is Dou, don't mind so much sister-in-law of the Mu family, don't listen to the sister-in-law of the Ge family just now, what kind of chief, it's a joke!" That is, when collecting bamboo and plum blossoms, I have a little use, after all, most of the people looking for flowers are women, if you let the street chief come may be a little inconvenient, the mayor and his wife came up with such a compromise method. ”

Mu Lan happened to come over with brown sugar water, fortunately there was a larger tea cup at home, and fortunately, in the past two days, the Shen family took advantage of the good weather to let Mu Lan take out these things that were not very useful and wash them.
