Chapter 65: Keeping Promises Mu Qingyun
Ji Yong calmed down, "No, it's nothing." ”
Mu Qingyun pinned a strand of messy hair behind her ear, "Then let's speed up and hurry." After sending the Wu family to the place, we will go back to the mountain and meet Master together. ”
Ji Yongan frowned, "You have already decided to leave with me?" ”
Mu Qingyun smiled slightly, "Didn't I promise to rule the country and level the world with you, now that the opportunity has come, I always have to fulfill my promise, right?" ”
There was a flash of disappointment in Ji Yongan's eyes, and he thought that Mu Qingyun was responding to his feelings for her with practical actions.
However, he soon became excited, since Mu Qingyun had already agreed to go down the mountain with him, then he should have confidence in himself.
Isn't there a saying called "sincerity is the opening of gold and stone", he believes that he will definitely let Mu Qingyun marry him with peace of mind.
Regained his high fighting spirit, Ji Yongan once again had a bright smile on his face, and several people talked and laughed while hurrying, and finally sent the Wu family to a small village under Yuxu Mountain a few days later.
This small village is about 100 miles away from the entrance of Yuxu Mountain, and is not located on the way to Yuxu Mountain.
"Although the people here are a little tougher, they are righteous, straightforward, and very easy to get along with, and they should be able to share the temperament of your family." Mu Qingyun waved his hand to the village chief who rushed over after hearing the news, and said to Young Master Wu with a smile.
Young Master Wu was slightly apprehensive in his heart, he had already heard Ji Yongan say on the way, the twenty or so families living in this village had basically received the care and favor of Yuxumen, so for the new residents sent by Yuxumen, these people have always been more friendly.
But even so, Young Master Wu was still a little worried about whether his family would be able to integrate smoothly, after all, Ji Yongan and the others sent them were all from the northwest, but their Wu family came from the southeast of Great Zhou, which was the farthest away from the northwest.
Even if they have the heart to follow the local customs, some things engraved in their bones are not something they can completely change overnight if they want to.
With anticipation for the future and nervousness about the unknown, Young Master Wu silently looked at the old village chief who was gradually approaching.
Behind the old village chief were some old people and children, all of them smiling and happy, as if today was a major festival worth celebrating.
"Mu Woman! He Woman! Ji Shaoxia! The old village chief began to greet Mu Qingyun and the three of them from a distance, he had never seen Yan Nanxiao, so there was no Yan Nanxiao who appeared here for the first time among the people who were greeted.
However, Yan Nanxiao's face is born to attract the attention of others, even if they don't know him as a person, the vast majority of people in the village still focus their attention more on Yan Nanxiao.
Yan Nanxiao had long been accustomed to such stares, he glanced at everyone lightly, and then silently withdrew his gaze to look at He Shuning, who had already dismounted.
Among the four people, Mu Qingyun, who was in charge of outreach, had already walked to the old village chief and told him about the Wu family's intention to settle here.
The old village chief agreed, "Cheng, Cheng, Cheng, old decay, let people clean their houses." There happened to be an empty yard in the north of the village, and they could live there first. ”
Mu Qingyun often comes here, and basically has an impression of the courtyards of the houses in the village, and the empty courtyard in the north of the village that the old village chief said, Mu Qingyun remembers that it is a standard farm yard with three main houses, three east wings, and three west wings.
If the Wu family lives in the past, the women and children can be squeezed in the main house first, and the three east and three west rooms can be used to house the maids, grandmothers and maids.
However, this is not a long-term solution after all, even if the Wu family has fallen down, Mu Qingyun still wants them to live more comfortably if conditions permit.
Even if you don't look at the deep friendship they have formed with the Wu family along the way, Mu Qingyun will also look at the face of the three brothers of General Wu who "fought to the death for the country" and do his part for their families.
The Great Zhou, which has begun to decay, can not admit the blood sprayed by the Wu brothers on the southeast coast to protect the people, but Mu Qingyun greatly admires them for being "selfless and righteous in death".
This is also the reason why she is willing to travel thousands of miles to the southeast coast to save people.
"I remember that there is still a large vacant land in the north of the village, so why don't you assign that vacant land to the Wu family to build a house." Mu Qingyun said as he took out a bag of silver and handed it to the old village chief, "I still have to bother the people in the village to help the Wu family a lot." ”
This silver was obtained by them to suppress the bandits, and in addition to the distribution to the victims in the bandits' den, Mu Qingyun also kept about two hundred taels in his hands in case of emergency.
Second Mrs. Wu, who had already gotten off the carriage, wanted to grab the money with Mu Qingyun when she saw this scene, but the eldest young master Wu quickly grabbed her aunt.
Second Lady Wu's eyes were full of disapproval when she looked at him, and the eyes of Young Master Wu were full of innocence.
Anyway, he didn't want to do it, didn't Ji Yongan explain it in advance, after getting along along this way, he was already used to listening to Ji Yongan's orders, and the other party's face was flat, and he didn't even dare to argue with reason.
Second Mrs. Wu couldn't resist her nephew, so she had to watch Mu Qingyun hand the money to the old village chief.
The old village chief smiled with a smile, and he pinched the money bag and assured Mu Qingyun, "Don't worry, we will definitely help the Wu family build a few more rooms." ”
Mu Qingyun bowed his head in satisfaction.
The old village chief looked at the luggage and belongings of a carriage brought by the Wu family, and took the initiative to take the Wu family to the nearest town to buy rice, flour, grain, oil and daily necessities.
“... Now that our northwest has been completely peaceful, we are gradually daring to leave the village. The old village chief squinted his eyes and smiled as he spoke, "If this continues, it won't be long before the children can continue to go out and find things to do." ”
Although their village is located in a secluded location, the fields are relatively barren, and the villagers are tired and tired all year round, but there is really not much food that can be harvested, so during the peaceful years, the young and middle-aged laborers in their village will basically leave the village and go to the town or county to do things.
As for the family's fields, they will return to the village to work during the busy farming season, and in normal times they will leave the family's fields to the elderly, women and children to take care of.
In this way, they can also earn a few more taels of silver to support their families throughout the year.
Mu Qingyun liked the news revealed by the old village chief very much, because it meant that soon they would no longer have to subsidize the villagers' silver money or rice grain in disguise.
Together with the old village chief and the idlers in the village, she sent the Wu family to the empty courtyard in the north of the village.
