Chapter 234: Liu Mulan's Heart
Let's say that Liu Muxiang and Liu Mulan returned home, and it was almost dawn, so they washed up casually and hurried to make up for sleep.
She didn't get up until she slept until the afternoon, and Liu Mulan had already cooked the meal and said, "Mu Xiang, hurry up and come over to eat." Since Liu Mulan's leg has healed, she has gradually regained her self-confidence and her mind has become more active. Originally, he wanted to live a lifetime guarding these fields, but now he feels that the outside world is vast, and he can go out and fight. Moreover, now that his sister is about to become the concubine of the eldest grandson Chong, he also has to work hard to leave a way back for his sister.
Liu Muxiang ate two bowls of rice, was full, and burped: "Big brother, you are in good health now and your kung fu has recovered, what are your plans in the future?" ”
"A few days ago, I received a letter from the eldest grandson Chong, who said that when a housekeeper of their family came over to propose marriage on behalf of his parents, his marriage would be finalized. You're not too young, it's time to get married. Liu Mulan didn't say herself, but said that Liu Muxiang was fragrant.
"Big brother, I'm asking you, you always say what I do!" Liu Muxiang was shy, although she already knew it, she was still a little embarrassed to be talked about by her brother.
"Settle down with you, I naturally have my own plans, and I am ready to join the army." Liu Muxiang chuckled and said, he used to be in poor health, he couldn't join the army, but now that his health is good and his martial arts have been restored, it's time to think about his sister.
As soon as Liu Muxiang heard that his eldest brother was going to join the army, he shook his head again and again and said: "Big brother, there are no eyes for knives and guns, and our Liu family has only two of your brothers and sisters, and you haven't married yet, our Liu family's incense, but what should we do?" "Only when you have actually experienced the war can you understand the dangers.
"Since you're worried about this, then I'll find a woman to marry as soon as possible, have a child, and I can go to the army with peace of mind." Liu Mulan has made up her mind.
"Big brother, in fact, I don't need my mother's support or anything. I just hope you can live in peace. Safe and sound. Changsun Chong is a person who misses old love, and he will be good to me. Liu Muxiang persuaded that she had been on the battlefield all year ago, and she didn't want her eldest brother to experience that kind of tension and fear.
"Mu Xiang, it's because of Changsun Chong, so I have to work harder, otherwise you won't have the confidence in Changsun's family." Liu Mulan said softly, patting her sister's shoulder, "Don't worry." I will train diligently, and in less than a year, I will definitely surpass you, and I will have the ability to protect myself in the army. ”
Liu Muxiang couldn't persuade her eldest brother Liu Mulan, so she had to think about letting the eldest grandson Chong take care of her eldest brother in the army in the future.
Xiaomei happily came over and told Liu Muxiang: "Sister Muxiang." My father and a few uncles in the village are going to go to Brother Liuhai's house to have a look. They are worried about danger on the road. So I want to ask Brother Mulan to go with me. ”
"Oh well. Anyway, there isn't much going on in the field now, big brother, you can send a few uncles and uncles together. Liu Muxiang felt that the eldest brother should go out for a walk and broaden his horizons, which would be helpful for him to join the army in the future.
Xiaomei was delighted. I didn't expect them to agree so soon: "Okay, my dad is going to leave tomorrow, Brother Mulan, what do you say?" ”
Liu Mulan responded: "No problem. ”
Following. Liu Mulan took Uncle Hua and four other uncles to the desolate place north of Dingzhou.
Liu Muxiang prepared oil cakes for the eldest brother as dry food, drove a cart or two, and set off.
When I arrived in Dingzhou City, I asked others how to get to Cuizhu New Village? As soon as they heard about the new village, everyone knew that it was a place to settle the displaced people. In the past, they in the city looked down on these homeless people, but now these homeless people not only make a lot of money, but also their families live in new houses, which are spacious and bright, much better than in the city.
The people on the street hurriedly pointed out the direction to Liu Mulan.
Asking people along the way, seeing the house with a high courtyard wall, Uncle Hua and the others sighed, if his son-in-law's family had such a house, he immediately agreed to his daughter's marriage after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Finally arrived at Cuizhu New Village, Liu Mulan found a child and gave a few copper coins and asked, where is Liu Hai's house?
The child took them to the entrance of the village and said, "This is their house, knock on the door yourself." ”
Liu Mulan knocked on the door, it was an old woman, and when she saw someone coming, she thought it was a passerby begging for water to drink, and said, "You wait for me, I will pour water for you." ”
"This lady, is this the bangs' house? We are from Daliu Village, and we want to celebrate the festival and send some gifts to our in-laws. Liu Mulan said with a smile.
When Grandma Sun heard this, she smiled and hurriedly opened the door: "Oh, I didn't recognize my in-laws, it's really rude, come in quickly, I'll let people call the master and the sea." "Grandma Sun called the children of the family, and hurried to call the eldest elder home, and the five in-laws came.
Liu Weifeng received the message, quickly asked for leave, and came back with his five righteous sons. I sent a Boxing gift a few days ago, and I really didn't expect them to come in person. Liu Weifeng also understood that it might be that they didn't believe it and came to see the situation at home. Now that they have a house and a job, Liu Weifeng believes that their in-laws will be relieved.
"Your brother will go back with me, treat your fathers-in-law well, whether you can marry your daughter-in-law in the door before the year depends on your performance in the past few days." Li Weifeng revealed his mouth to a few people.
Liu Hai, Liu He and others are naturally happy to have a daughter-in-law.
Liu Weifeng returned home and hurriedly said: "A few in-laws, I don't know that you are coming, it is really a long way to come, please understand!" ”
"Where, where, we're here to give some Boxing gifts, and by the way, see you." Uncle Hua is very satisfied, but although this house is big, it is also crowded for five sons to live together.
"This house is very good, fifty taels of silver can buy such a house, but it is worth it. If we build our own house, we can't get up such a good house for fifty taels. Another old man agreed.
"But there is only one courtyard, and you have five righteous sons, and it seems that it is very crowded to live." The other finally got to the point.
Liu Weifeng understood, and said with a smile: "What my in-laws said is that I bought such a yard for one of them, this yard is mine, and the five courtyards next door are my five righteous sons." Not to mention that it is enough to live in marriage, even if there are four or five children in the future, it will be able to live. ”
When several old men heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and they all wanted to say that they wanted to go and see it.
Liu Weifeng was naturally happy and personally took his five in-laws to live in a few courtyards next door for a few days.
"Okay, we can rest assured that our daughter will marry here in the future." Uncle Hua said briskly, I can finally rest assured, although they have been bandits before, but now they are recruited, they are good citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not a loss for their daughter to marry.
When Liu Weifeng heard this, he had a plan in his heart, thought for a while and said: "Recently, our weaving factory here is preparing to recruit weaver girls, and there will be two to four taels of silver a month in the future. ”
"Is there such a good thing?" The five old men were surprised, how could it be possible, if they were calculated like this, they would be able to earn at least twenty-four taels of silver a year, and if they were more, they would be able to earn fifty taels of silver.
"Of course, the notices are all posted in our grocery store." Liu Weifeng explained, "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it." In our village, as long as it is a woman, you can sign up. ”
"Is it only possible to sign up this year?" Uncle Hua asked anxiously, her daughter has a pair of skillful hands, if she signs up, she will definitely be selected, and she will be able to make a lot of money a year by then.
Liu Weifeng was embarrassed and said: "I can't say for sure, but the number of people in the weaving factory is certain, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to enter again." ”
When several people heard this, they looked at each other, each with their own plans.
When I returned home, my grandmother had already prepared the meal, and good wine and food were served.
The wine was strong, and Liu Weifeng said his plan: "In-laws, you see that our house is ready, can you advance the wedding date?" You can rest assured, we have a lot of land at home, and our sons still have two taels of silver every month, and our daughters will definitely be able to live a good life when they get married. ”
A few people took a look, Uncle Hua listened, and said with a smile: "We understand the mood of the in-laws, but we are engaged this year, and we are just right to get married next year. ”
"yes, let's wait until next year."
Liu Weifeng smiled: "Actually, I think so, isn't this recruiting female workers?" If you get married, if your future daughter-in-law wants to go in, I can send it in while I can still do something; If you don't want to go, you can also ask the sisters in the family to come and try it, and eat and live with us, which is also more convenient. ”
Uncle Hua has a daughter, so he doesn't need to think too much, but others have to think about it more, who doesn't have three or two daughters at home. If you have this craftsmanship of three or four taels of silver a month, whether it is to subsidize the family or marry someone in the future, it will be a shameful thing.
"It's not impossible to get married early, although the time is tight, but we still have to take all kinds of etiquette seriously." There was a man who was tempted to have four daughters in his family and gave birth to a younger son. The eldest daughter is a monk, and with the following three sisters, she will not only be able to earn a dowry in the future, but she may also be able to find a good in-law.
Several people also thought it was good, and they said that they could get married earlier.
"That's nature, and it doesn't fall either. I have a suggestion that I want to do it with my five sons. Liu Weifeng suggested, "You know, I can't wait to marry all my sons, otherwise they will see other people get married, and the other four sons will definitely think that I am biased." Besides, now the construction period is very fast, and there are five marriages in a row, and the people in this village must not be annoyed to death by me! ”
"Hehe, my in-laws laughed, but it was indeed a little inappropriate. Okay, let's sum it up! A few people relented.
"That's great!" Liu Weifeng was excited, they could put forward any conditions.
Several old men in Daliu Village summed up and decided to get married in ten days, and Liu Weifeng also warmly invited Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua to live here, but Uncle Hua refused. (To be continued......)
