Chapter 66: The Wu Family
The empty courtyard was a little deserted and dilapidated because it had been uninhabited for a long time, but several of the rooms in the courtyard were exceptionally sturdy and sturdy because they were made of stone.
The master of the Wu family worked with his subordinates and quickly cleaned the house.
Second Lady Wu commanded the two maids in the family and a grandmother to take down the pillows and bedding they brought from the carriage, a small part of these pillow bedding was brought by them from Jiangnan, and most of the rest were temporarily purchased by Mu Qingyun and others with them in the nearest county seat.
Although the ones they brought from Jiangnan were dirty and broken, they were made of good materials that were not available here, and if it weren't for the fact that they were so dirty that they couldn't see the material, these few bedding alone would have been enough to cause a sensation in this small mountain village.
Mrs. Wu watched as the newly purchased pillows and futons were placed on the big kang in the inner room of the main house and the wing room, and then took the snacks they purchased in the county seat and distributed them to the children in the courtyard who circled around the carriage.
After sending all the children away, Second Mrs. Wu stood up and said a few words, although she was the daughter of the military general's family, but compared with these ordinary village women, she was elegant and elegant... I couldn't understand it, so she very tactfully persuaded people to leave, and the old ladies who came over to watch the excitement didn't understand it at all.
In the end, it was Mu Qingyun who spoke, and the old ladies left with the oil paper bags stuffed for them by the Wu family.
At this point, there was only one outsider left in the courtyard of the Wu family, the old village chief.
The old village chief was much more well-behaved than the rest of the village, and when he saw that the Wu family was inviting people out little by little, the old village chief immediately took the initiative to say goodbye and prepare to leave.
When Young Master Wu heard this, he immediately took a piece of coarse cloth, a bag of snacks, a piece of meat, and a small jar of wine that he had prepared for the old village chief according to Ji Yongan's suggestion.
He handed over the things, and the old village chief immediately looked at Mu Qingyun and the others out of the corner of his eye.
Finding that Mu Qingyun didn't mean to be unhappy, the old village chief took things with a smile on his face.
Of course, the old village chief didn't take the Wu family in vain, and when the Wu family took all the things in the car into the house and settled them properly, the old village chief's daughter-in-law went to the door of the Wu family with a basket of vegetables and a bag of noodles.
She was joined by her youngest son, who carried a large bundle of firewood on his shoulder.
Second Mrs. Wu welcomed the mother and son very warmly - although they had already bought rice, noodles, vegetables and eggs in the county seat, and her little maid had already picked up a lot of firewood, Second Mrs. Wu was still very happy that the old village chief could exchange gifts with their family.
In the end, the daughter-in-law of the old village chief left with a newly brought back hare from the Wu family's little servant, and a bag of candy that Mrs. Wu had forced into her youngest son.
The two women, who were from completely different backgrounds and experiences, were very satisfied with their meeting, which laid a good foundation for them to become friends with each other in the future.
"Miss Mu, Miss He, Ji Shizi, Yan Gongzi, a few great kindnesses to my Wu family, my Wu family will always remember in my heart, a few of them are useful to our family, even if my Wu family is broken, I will definitely relieve the benefactor's worries."
There were no more idlers at home, so Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu San knelt on the ground with a few of their children, saying that they would kowtow to He Shuning and the four of them.
He Shuning and the others, who were kneeling all over the ground by them for a while, were busy pulling people one by one, until they pulled everyone straight, and then Mu Qingyun raised his hand to wipe the non-existent layer of sweat on his forehead.
She really lost to the two ladies of the Wu family, and she didn't know when these two women taught the children in the family such a thing.
Mu Qingyun pressed Second Mrs. Wu and Third Mrs. Wu very hard to sit on the edge of the kang in the main landlord's house, "What are you talking about... Have we brought you thousands of miles to the northwest in order to make you die in retribution? Why don't you think about the three generals of Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu, and the Wu family? Didn't they put their lives on the line to give you a way to live? ”
The Wu family burst into tears by what she said, and Second Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and said to Mu Qingyun: "As you said, the husband and mother-in-law, as well as the eldest brother, sister-in-law and third brother, they definitely want us to live well." But rather than living, I think they must hope that the children and grandchildren of the Wu family can inherit the Wu family's style. ”
Mrs. Wu San also bowed her head slightly with tears in her eyes, "What the second sister-in-law said is that even if we only have orphans and widows left, we will never fall into the name of the Wu family and lose the spirit of the Wu family." Our Wu family must not be ungrateful, nor can we fail to repay kindness. ”
Mu Qingyun had a headache.
Therefore, the family of military generals, stubbornness is really comparable to those Qingliu who are proud of "dead advice" who only have "hard bones" left in their bodies.
She touched the heads of the youngest Second Miss Wu and Third Young Master Wu, "You guys, your first task now is to raise these children well, and leave the foundation and hope for the Wu family to continue the inheritance, rather than rushing to repay us." However, I will not say anything that does not need to be reciprocated, if one day we really need the help of the Wu family, the four of us senior sisters and brothers will definitely not forget the promise made by the two ladies today. ”
Second Lady Wu and Third Lady Wu breathed a sigh of relief, so that they could keep the fine tradition of the Wu family to keep their promises.
There is a saying that "the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring", not to mention that the Wu family owes nearly 20 lives up and down the Wu family.
Although more than half of these nearly twenty lives belong to the subordinates of the Wu family, these subordinates who share life and death with the Wu family and even risk their own lives in order to protect them, for the Wu family, they are no longer simple subordinates.
Therefore, when they were settling accounts, they did not hesitate to count the lives of these subordinates of the Wu family in their favors.
The master and the subordinates are both affectionate and righteous, and Mu Qingyun suddenly felt that the Wu family would definitely shine in the future.
She glanced at Ji Yongan, and then at Young Master Wu, Ji Yongan's eyebrows raised slightly, and then immediately looked back affectionately.
Mu Qingyun saw him standing still, and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.
I don't know what crazy this thing has been smoking lately.,The tacit understanding with her before is like one. At night, he ate it all as a snack.
Mu Qingyun touched her forehead with her hand helplessly, it seemed that she could only come forward by herself.
Thinking like this, Mu Qingyun fixed his gaze on the young master Wu, "The Wu family's art of war and family martial arts, can you all take them with you?" ”
Asking others about this kind of thing can usually be said to be very reckless, so Mu Qingyun immediately explained, "If something is lost, our Yuxumen may be able to help you find it." ”
