Chapter 260
Fat Dun has loved to learn since he was a child, since he entered the school, every exam is the first, and the gentleman of the school also mentioned to them that if he can send Fat Dun to a better academy in the city, the future will be bright.
But they are poor and short-minded, and it is already the limit to be able to shrink their clothes and diet to let Fat Dun study, let alone go to Hongyuan Academy.
Fat Dun's hand holding the steamed bun tightened and tightened, "Mu Guanren, Fat Dun will develop in the future, and he will definitely not forget your great kindness." ”
"In the future, I will call my uncle, what kind of official, it sounds awkward, I will live together in the future, don't be so angry, Brother Dong, you can just call me brother-in-law."
A few people exchanged a few words, everyone chatted while talking, Liu's meal was very comfortable, the two families ate after eating, cleaned up, and went back in the carriage.
When he came, there were not many people in the car, and it was a little crowded when he went back, so Mu Ningjun secretly decided that when he got the first amount of silver, he would have to change to a larger carriage.
The yard is quite clean and neat, Mo Niang and Liu Dong took the bedding moved from the family in, there are not many pots and pans, the family feels that this is like a home, five houses, one for the Liu family, one for their husband and wife, a fat bedroom, another is a study, and there is a surplus one to pile up some sundries, although the kitchen is small, compared to their previous home strength.
Mu Ningjun took Mu Liu and the child back to the next door, closed the courtyard door, Mu Ningjun gestured with his eyes, and went back to the house.
The dancing candle flame emitted a bright light, Mu Ningjun raised his head, Mu Liu flashed in, the children were asleep, she closed the courtyard door and extinguished the fire on the stove.
"Why don't you discuss it with me and buy the yard next door, so the cost will be too big."
"Mrs. Zhang has been with the grandmother of the Mu family for a long time, and she has still learned her bitterness, at this age, if you expect the grandmother of the Mu family to support her for the elderly, it is whimsical, in the past, Mrs. Zhang had a hard time, Mrs. Zhang will not move her mind, if she knows, Mo Niang's life is prosperous, she can still sit still."
Mu Ningjun put the account book aside, blew out the candle, and hugged Mu Liu to lie down: "Liu's mind is kind, if he wasn't forced to be in a hurry, he would definitely not make a move, but Mo Niang has a deep grudge against Mrs. Zhang, and if we use it properly, we will get twice the result with half the effort." You can rest assured, I will always take care of them, and no matter how far things develop in the future, I will not leave them behind as long as I can get by. ”
The husband's character, Mu Liu's family is still clear, these words will not be faked, thinking that instead of letting the nurse live a life of hunger, it is better to change the way of living, after all, the grandmother of the Mu family is at fault first, and Mrs. Zhang is dirty.
After a night of silence, Dongfang just saw the white belly of the fish, and the sound of chopping wood came from the next door of the courtyard wall, after Mu Liu freshened up, he hurried to cook, Mo Niang stood on the ladder of the courtyard wall, and handed over a few steaming pancakes, "Sister, hurry up." ”
Under Mu Ningjun's repeated requests, their salutations became closer, "Why did you get up so early?" ”
"Fat Dun is going to the academy, he can't be late, my brother-in-law said yesterday that I would let Brother Dong send him over in a carriage, so I thought about getting up early, making a meal, and letting them take it to eat on the road." Mo Niang was full of strength, and she felt that she had endless strength in her body.
"I'll give you the silver and bring it to Fat Dun." Mu Liu turned around and walked into the house.
Mo Niang was worried that her voice would wake up the people in the room, "Sister, yesterday's brother-in-law gave fifty taels of silver, saying that it was out of the bundle handed over to the academy, and the rest let Fat Dun buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, these are enough." ”
Brother Dong was full of smiles, Fat Dun was even more refreshed, and the father and son sat in the car eating pancakes and rushed to the direction of the academy.
The grandmother of the Mu family has been really aggrieved these days, and the maids and daughters of the Mu family need to spend money on eating and drinking, and now the silver is spent like flowing water.
Mrs. Zhang is worried that the maid is young, and if she is released, she can find a mother-in-law, or go to other big families to be a slave. But she is old, and she has little silver, and she can't even afford an inconspicuous courtyard, and she gets old day after day, and she can't even fill her stomach.
The house leak happened to be rainy, and the grandmother of the Mu family had to go to the yard for a while at noon yesterday, but now it was good, and she suffered from the heat, and she made a fuss at night, and invited a doctor, pricked the needle, and prescribed a few medicines, which was a dozen taels of silver.
Mu Shilang wrote again, probably because the silver she left behind when she left was not enough, and asked her to immediately remit five thousand taels through the bank.
The grandmother of the Mu family was lying on the bed, shouting in her mouth, her heart hurt like cutting meat, five thousand taels of silver, how long would she have to save.
Mrs. Zhang took the box with the silver tickets, and the grandmother of the Mu family hummed and chirped for a long time, or opened the box, took out five silver tickets of one thousand taels, and handed them to Mrs. Zhang, you go to the money bank, remit the money to the master, let the coachman pay attention on the way, take the two little guys, be careful. Number Seven
In the capital, no one dares to block the street and rob the road, saying that the prosperous place in the capital, only five thousand taels, is not enough for the silver of a banquet at the home of the dignitaries, who will stare at them, Mrs. Zhang smiled shamefully in her heart, but she didn't dare to say much, and humbly bent her knees to put the silver ticket close to her.
Mrs. Zhang has followed the grandmother of the Mu family for many years, and rarely wanders on the street, and the grandmother of the Mu family is mean, and rarely does not give people holidays, especially thinking about her, she doesn't even have a home, let alone go out. Second, the silver two are too little, she is a death deed, the son of the Mu family, as long as the master does not give grace in this life, she will die in the Mu family.
Looking at it now, the grandmother of the Mu family will not let her enjoy this blessing, she must think about it quickly, otherwise she will be on the streets when that day comes.
After getting out of the carriage, as soon as she entered the money village, the man who came over was very familiar, she thought about it a little, grabbed a guy, and stuffed her with a copper plate: "My wife is dizzy, and the one who passed just now is Liu Dong." ”
The guy weighed the copper plate in his hand, smiled all over his face, pulled her to the corner, looked around at no one, and then lowered his voice, the word Liu Dong was written on the deposit receipt.
"Deposit receipt" Mrs. Zhang was even more interested, "This little brother, I won't tell you that the person owed the old woman money just now, and asked for it several times, but he said that he had no money, and the old woman begged you to give a message, how much he had saved." As he spoke, he endured the distress and took a dozen copper coins and stuffed them to the guy.
The guy smiled, who has a grudge against money: "Auntie, I also think you are pitiful, this is the rule of the store, you must not say that I told you." ”
"Look at what you said, you have helped my wife to this job, and it is too late for my wife to be grateful."
"He saved a thousand taels, and this is the third time he's come."
Mrs. Zhang Zileng was there for a while before she realized what she was going to do, seeing that the sun was not early, she ran to the counter, got the money order ready, turned around and got into the carriage, but her thoughts always stopped on the deposit slip that Liu Dong was wearing and told his buddy.
After thinking about it, the grandmother of the Mu family decided to leave two of the four big girls for two, as for which two to go, she was still thinking about it, and only two of the mother-in-law in the room were left.
When Mrs. Zhang came back, she felt that everyone was weird, when she went out in the morning, there was no such depressing atmosphere, several big girls got together and muttered quietly, for them, it doesn't matter if they go or stay, once they come to Mufu, they are not as good as before, there is nothing to be nostalgic about. Moreover, they have been serving the old lady for several years, and they have affection, at most, they have given a deed, go out to marry, and have less to do with themselves, but when they are old, they all want to marry.
Several mothers-in-law are not as optimistic as them, they have all reached this age, and they rely on the old and sell the old in Mufu, and they will not do any dirty work. But when they go out, their daughters-in-law and sons may not let them sit at home and enjoy their success, and for poor families, it is a big deal to have one more mouth to eat.
If they change families again, most of the dirty work is theirs, sighing for a long time, after all, it is the grandmother of the Mu family who decides the fate, and several mothers-in-law cheer up, and even offer flattery and whiskers to pat the horse, which makes the grandmother of the Mu family smile so much that she can't open her eyebrows and eyes.
Mrs. Zhang is in a hurry and can't do anything, usually, she only cares about silver and jewelry, although she is the confidant of the Mu family's grandmother, she rarely serves closely, and now in comparison, she is the most likely to be sent away.
Liu Dong gave Mu Ningjun the silver ticket that had not yet been hot, "Brother-in-law, the money saved these times is in my name, it's not good." ”
"What's wrong, we are all a family, my business has just improved, I can be stable, it is better to be bigger, if not, there is a mistake, the money is in your name, you took it out and gave it to your sister, outsiders don't know, their mother will not be poor and starving."
Thinking about it carefully, it is still the brother-in-law who is thoughtful, Liu Dong is a farmer, he is simple, and he doesn't think deeply, shouting, and pulling Mu Ningjun back in a carriage.
Mu Ningjun lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage of the Mu family not far away, a smile slipped through the corner of his mouth, Mrs. Zhang is really here, it seems that the eighth prince is really powerful.
The car drove past Hongyuan Academy, and Mu Ningjun brought out the fruit he had bought in advance and asked Brother Dong to send it to Fat Dun.
In fact, Mu Ningjun has his own plans, Fat Dun is not only studious, but also talented, and he will participate in the Autumn Festival in seven or eight years.
His two sons are still young and can only go to the academy, whether they can enter Hongyuan Academy depends on their learning ability and talent in the future.
But Brother Dong was very embarrassed, and he was quite embarrassed. Fat Dun is in the academy and has a good popularity. The background is not high, but he is very diligent, and the classmates who live with him, do not need to stretch out their hands, when they open their eyes in the morning, the yard where they live is very clean, and even the only water tank in the yard has been filled with water by the fat pier. Their toiletries, the hot water they need, and the fat dun are all prepared, so you don't have to worry about it.
Scholars are not allowed to take with them in Hongyuan Academy, and all personal affairs, except cooking, must be done by themselves.
