Chapter 4: Boundless eccentricity
"Brother, let's go see my mother!" Mu Yunxue took Mu Zhijin's hand, the young man's hands were slender but full of calluses, and they were very rough to the touch, Mu Yunxue couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Hmm." Mu Zhijin nodded, and let Mu Yunxue pull him towards the thatched house, and Mu Zhiyi followed closely behind him, but there was no expression on the little person's face, neither on his back nor on his anger, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
And when the three Mu Yunxue brothers and sisters returned to the thatched house, a carriage stopped outside the Mu family's courtyard.
In a village like Qingshui Village, if a family has an ox cart or a donkey cart, it is already considered a large family, and it is said that this kind of carriage can only be used by rich and noble families.
The appearance of this carriage immediately attracted the villagers who were still concerned about the miscarriage of the Chu family in the courtyard of the Mu family.
The coachman, a young man in his teens, saw that he was surrounded by a group of peasants dressed in coarse cloth, raised his head, then jumped out of the carriage, and respectfully took the pedals behind the carriage and placed them in the carriage.
"Sir, Madame, and Miss have arrived." The little guy bent down and shouted respectfully.
As the voice of the little girl fell, the thick curtain was lifted, and the first to come down was a little girl wearing a light pink lotus embroidered thin cotton jacket, the little girl's skin was fair and translucent, her black hair was curled out of her temples, and there were two lifelike butterfly hairpins inserted on it, which were also decorated with a few white round pearls, and her face was coated with a shallow amount of fat powder.
Although the little girl was dressed very well, the look of pride and disgust in her eyes made everyone present feel disliked.
Behind the little girl came a woman, who was dressed in a begonia-colored brocade cotton jacket, her black hair was tied with a silver hairpin of a rich peony, and her face was coated with a thick and delicate layer of powder.
Behind the woman was a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was slightly fat, dressed in a navy blue dark brocade robe, wearing a jade crown on his head, and looked a bit like a big man.
And these three people are Mu Jiafang, Mu Jinghai and his wife Zhou, and his daughter Mu Shanshan.
"Mu Jinghai is hairy, look at this style, a body of luxury, even the servants and carriages are available." The onlookers looked at Mu Jinghai's family and the three of them all exclaimed with envy.
"That's Mu Shanshan, it's so beautiful!"
"I've heard that Mu Zhiwen is about to be admitted to Xiucai."
"Xiucai, we haven't had a talent in Qingshui Village for thirty years!"
"I remember that Mu Zhiwen is only sixteen this year, and he was a talent at the age of sixteen, which is not available in the entire Anyang Town!"
"Not to mention Anyang Town, even if there are not a few in the entire Qing'an County."
"Tut, in the future, this Mu Lao Wu family will have to be released, maybe there will be a county magistrate every few years."
"I have to hurry back and push my family's catalyzed marriage, and after a few years, when Mu Zhiwen wins the champion, I will marry Cuihua to him, and I will be the father of the county magistrate in the future."
"Just like your family's cuihua, you dream, every few years your family's cuihua will become an old girl, my family's Xiaogui is about the same, every few years my family's Xiaogui just grew up, and then it is the time for men and women to get married."
"Bah, just your little Gui, who is as fat as a pig, you are embarrassed to say it."
"I'm so embarrassed, just the stumbling appearance of your family's Cuihua is only worthy of the stupid son of Butcher Liu's family."
"I'll go to you, my family's Cuihua is so good-looking, what's wrong with my son-in-law, it's a good family, and the family has a lot of family assets, and my family's Cuihua used to be directly in the main room. It's like your family directly sold your eldest daughter to an old man in the town as a concubine, the old man is older than you, and you are not afraid that your daughter will sleep at night and have nightmares. ”
"What did you say!"
······
Mu Shanshan, who was standing at the center of the crowd, listened speechlessly to the gossip of these villagers, and secretly scolded in her heart that it was really muddy that couldn't support the mud legs on the wall, but she still had to maintain the demeanor of a young lady on her face.
"Boss, you're back!" Li saw Mu Jinghai's family outside the courtyard gate early, walked out quickly with a smile in his eyes, squeezed through the crowd and greeted him enthusiastically, first pulled Mu Shanshan up and down, the smile in his eyes became thicker, and he couldn't stop nodding and praised: "Shanshan is really getting more and more beautiful, and I will definitely have to find a good grandson-in-law for my grandmother in the future." ”
Unlike Li, Mu Shanshan watched in disgust as Li took her hand, her brows were furrowed and she was about to kill mosquitoes, but because there were so many people watching here, she couldn't shake off Li's hand, so she had to force her heart to be disgusting and patient, but she said in her heart: This old woman actually dares to touch me with such a dirty hand, and this poor sour, and dare to say that it is my grandmother, I bah!
"Mother, this is a little gift from my daughter-in-law to you and my father, I hope you two elders like it, and there are gifts I gave to several younger brothers and brothers-in-law and nephews and nieces in the car." Zhou is a discerning person, watching his daughter being led by Li, his face is full of disgust, although he doesn't like Li's such a vulgar mother-in-law, but he still makes a filial appearance on his face, takes a delicately packaged gift box from the hand of the little guy behind him, walks in front of Li, and hands the gift to Li.
One of Li's favorite daughters-in-law actually brought a gift back for him, and the smile in his eyes was even thicker, so he let go of Mu Shanshan's hand and took the gift handed over by Li, the corners of his mouth had already cracked a big arc, and said with a smile: "My good daughter-in-law come in, don't stand here." As she spoke, she carried the gift with one hand, and with the other hand, she stepped forward and led Zhou's hand into the courtyard, as if Zhou was her daughter.
The people around looked at the scene of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of them, and the expressions on their faces were indescribably weird.
"Jinghai, Shanshan, don't come in yet!" Li Shi took Zhou's hand, turned around and saw that Mu Jinghai and Mu Shanshan were still outside, and shouted loudly.
"Yes." Mu Jinghai answered and took Mu Shanshan into the courtyard, but Mu Jinghai asked the little maid to drive the carriage into the courtyard when he entered the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door.
The onlookers saw that the Mu family had closed the courtyard door, and they knew that there was nothing to see, so they dispersed one by one, and soon there were three or two passers-by left outside the Mu family's courtyard.
On the other side, Mu Yunxue, together with Mu Jingze, Mu Zhijin, and Mu Zhiyi, watched Dr. Lu diagnose Chu's pulse again, and it took about half an hour for Dr. Lu to finish diagnosing his pulse.
"Doctor Lu, my wife, she?" Mu Jing looked at Chu Shi who had already fainted on the bed, and his heart was indescribably distressed, his hanging hands were clenched, but there was no anger on his face, but there was a tendency of wind and rain to come.
Doctor Lu glanced at Mu Jingze, and then sighed slightly and said: "Originally, Mrs. Ling's body was weak, and the fetus was not very stable for only one month, but now it is red again, fortunately, the bleeding stopped in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." However, Mrs. Ling's body is too weak, this time it is lucky to save the fetus, I will prick Mrs. Ling twice and prescribe a few doses of medicine to recuperate, but in the first three months of pregnancy, don't let Mrs. Ling work, especially Mrs. Ling can no longer fall, otherwise it will be difficult to save even Hua Tuo next time. After Dr. Lu finished speaking with half persuasion and half hint, he took out a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, wrote a prescription from his medicine box, handed it to Mu Jingze's hand, and left.
"Dad, it's my sister-in-law's mother."
