Chapter 20 Buying a house is expensive

Happiness?

In that peaceful era when the quality of life was constantly improving, people still did not have much happiness, let alone this backward and troubled era.

Everyone wants to be happy and chases happiness, but what is happiness?

Mu Bingyue looked at the old man's vicissitudes of life, sighed slightly at the ruthlessness of the years, restrained her heavy mood, and said: "Everyone's end point is actually the same, and they will eventually settle in the ground. The fisherman chooses to live his life very comfortably, the rich man chooses to live a twist and turn, their choices are different, they will have different circumstances, but they all cherish a tranquility in their hearts, and they are all working towards this tranquility, there are all kinds of helplessness or temptation in life, forcing them to make more choices, which also creates a different life. Where there are people, there will always be strife, and there will never be lasting peace, but if the heart is at ease, there will be a fairyland everywhere. ”

"It's so comfortable, it's a fairyland everywhere. Girl, that's a good point. Mu Bingyue's words made the old man suddenly clear, and his mood suddenly rose, "Come, girl, sit down, accompany me, old man, and talk again." There is a hint of hatred for seeing each other late.

Mu Bingyue didn't squirm, and sat down happily when she heard the words.

The old man was born in a scholarly family, and he was very personable in his speech, Mu Bingyue came from a different world with rapid development, and many new ideas were eye-opening.

During the conversation, Mu Bingyue learned that although the old man was from a big family, he was unwilling to join the crowd, and many people in the family had donated officials, and he was the only one who became a businessman.

After hearing this, it was not surprising that this old man had a unique temper, but this bookstore was still standing.

The two talked happily, and soon it was noon.

The old man's family sent a small servant to deliver the food, and the old man realized that it was time for the meal, and he left Mu Bingyue to eat.

Mu Bingyue saw that there were some meat dishes on the table, but she really couldn't refuse the old man's hospitality, so she had to bluntly say that she was only a vegetarian.

The old man laughed when he heard this, "This is easy to do, Xiao Liuzi went to Deyue Building to buy some vegetarian rice and came back." "It's rare for Xiao Liuzi to see his master so happy, and he is busy.

Mu Bingyue couldn't refuse, so she had to stay, and after a while, she bought the food back.

Mu Bingyue replied to the old man's words while eating, and Xiao Liuzi stared at him from the side, you must know that his master has the most important rules, and often teaches them to eat and sleep without saying a word, but this will be a judgment of the two of them, they seem to be several years younger, and the whole person has become radiant.

The old man thought that Xiao Liuzi was an eyesore, and after sending him away, he continued: "Girl, you go on, what kind of change?" ”

"It can't always be a boring dead book, it has to keep up with the times and become interesting." Mu Bingyue saw that the old man did not have the mercenary spirit of a businessman, and he also made friends and taught what he knew. No matter what era, when selling goods, they must be packaged first.

Mu Bingyue said carefully, the more the old man listened, the more excited he became, and finally took the case, "Good plan, girl, act according to your plan, the old man's book will not be unattended in the future." ”

He sat down slowly, "It's just an ordinary lantern riddle, I'm afraid it won't be difficult for them."

Mu Bingyue smiled and handed over the unsold riddle, the old man took it, and the more he looked down, the wider his eyes became, "Girl, this is what you wrote?" ”

Mu Bingyue has a lot of plans to implement, and there are some things she has to come forward, seeing the old man's charity, she also plans to stop hiding it, but she still leaves room and says, "The tutor teaches well!" ”

The old man's eyes became like treasure hunting lights, and he said, "I don't know where the little girl is taught?" ”

Mu Bingyue knew what the old man thought, and thought for a while: "The family teacher has traveled all over the world, and he is free, and I am also destined to get a few books from his old man." ”

The old man sat down disappointed and sighed: "It's a pity that the old man has no chance to see such a master!" "Talented people have strange tempers, and when he hears this, he doesn't want to ask much.

Mu Bingyue saw that he didn't ask anymore, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The family teacher's book was accidentally lost, fortunately, Bingyue still remembers a lot of stories, but I really can't handle my words, and I want to ask the boss to write it for me." ”

When the old man heard this, he shook his hand indifferently: "Little girl, don't call the old man boss, it sounds weird, if you don't dislike it, just call me Grandpa Cao!" The old man's name is Cao Shu, and the children in the family all think he is in business and rarely get close to him, but Mu Bingyue met his eyes, so he took the initiative to kiss him.

Speaking of this, how could Mu Bingyue excuse himself, and shouted: "Grandpa Cao." ”

"Hey!" Cao Shu squinted and smiled and agreed, only then did he find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Mu Bingyue said a word, Cao Shu wrote a sentence, what Mu Bingyue said aroused Cao Shu's great interest, and finally he didn't write it, just let Mu Bingyue tell him.

Mu Bingyue spoke slowly, Cao Shu's eyes became brighter and brighter, from expectation to obsession, and finally completely entered the story, changing emotions with the encounters of the characters in the story, and finally heard that Hua Mulan's identity was recognized, and the tea was not stable in excitement.

Time passed slowly, and when Mu Bingyue finished telling the story of Hua Mulan joining the army for her father, the sun was about to set, and she was afraid that her family would worry and refused to keep the old man.

Cao Shu heard that Mu Bingyue promised to come tomorrow, so he let her go.

When Mu Bingyue arrived at the door of the house, it was also dark, and the Li family was also standing at the door, and when he saw Mu Bingyue coming back, he secretly wiped his tears.

When Mu Bingyue saw it, her heart seemed to be stuffed into a mess, which made her upset, and she reluctantly smiled: "Mother, why are you standing here?" ”

Li Tong also came over at this time, "Miss, since noon, I have been waiting for the little lady outside the door, and the slave and maid will not listen to any persuasion." ”

As soon as she heard that her mother had been outside since noon, Mu Bingyue suddenly felt distressed, "Mother, didn't my daughter say that she will go home later, it's so hot, how can you stand outside for so long, be careful of heat stroke again." ”

"Yue'er is going out for the first time, is my mother worried!" Li patted his daughter's hand.

Mu Bingyue's tears overflowed her eyes in an instant, her heart seemed to have been hit by something, she didn't dare to be seen by everyone, and hurriedly turned her head sideways to cover up the past.

After Mu Bingyue returned home, everyone started to eat. Li Shi served soup to Mu Bingyue and asked, "Yue'er, you can eat it at noon." ”

Mu Bingyue stretched out her hand and took it: "I've eaten it." By the way, mother, I fancy a house outside, and it has been booked, and I have booked it to pay for the house tomorrow. ”

Li Shi didn't ask in detail after hearing this, and said, "How much silver do you need?" ”

"Ten taels of silver, there is a main house and two wings in the east and west, and a small courtyard, and it is also very close to the market."

"That mother will borrow money tomorrow." Li Shi groaned, although it was not close to the county order, but she was relieved to be close to the market.

Li Tong said: "Miss, I'll go to Aunt Ma to borrow it, Aunt Ma's sons have come back to accompany them for the New Year, and they have been filial to a lot of silver." ”

Mu Bingyue said: "Then let's move directly tomorrow, hire a carriage, and go directly." ”

Li Shi and Li Tong both nodded, Li'er was a little dumbfounded, she knew that Mu Bingyue saved her, but she hadn't seen adults obey children with her own eyes.

Mu Bingyue saw that Li'er was looking at her stupidly, knowing the reason, she didn't hide it, and when she saw Shen Xue in a trance, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Xue looked at Mu Bingyue with red circles in her eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Miss, that snow fox, don't eat anything." ”

Mu Bingyue looked at the snow fox in the cage not far away, and saw that it was still wilting on its stomach like yesterday, with a whole chicken resting next to it.

When Li'er saw it, she hurriedly said: "That snow fox, Shang Chun is very precious, and he feeds it with the arctic rabbit, but sometimes the arctic rabbit is gone, and the snow fox is hungry and doesn't eat anything." ”

After Mu Bingyue heard this, she said coldly: "If you don't eat, you'll be hungry." ”

The snow fox seemed to be popular, and after listening to what Mu Bingyue said, he immediately pricked up his ears and looked at Mu Bingyue dissatisfied.

When Shen Xue saw it, she put aside the dishes and chopsticks and ran over, and Li'er was also surprised by it.

Seeing that Mu Bingyue ignored it, the snow fox turned his head and went on his stomach again.

Shen Xue stretched out her hand and poked, but the snow fox still ignored it.

When Mu Bingyue saw it, her heart turned, and she said coldly again: "Since it doesn't eat it, take out the chicken, and feed it with water in the future." ”

When the snow fox heard this, he fluttered his ears, but he didn't open his eyes.

Mu Bingyue saw it, and said: "I heard that the skin of the arctic fox is very valuable, if you kill it with a knife, it will eventually leave a hole, if you use poison, I am afraid that the color of the fur will darken, so it is good to starve it to death, just save trouble." ”

When the arctic fox heard this, he turned his head and glared at Mu Bingyue viciously, and Shen Xue and Lian'er were so shocked that they shouted again and again.

Mu Bingyue looked at it and said, "Well, don't give water, die faster." ”

When the snow fox heard this, it seemed to be enraged, and immediately shook and stood up, and the hair on its back also stood up, and this time Li and Li Tong were also shocked to stand up.

Mu Bingyue sat down and said idly: "It's still a little slow, it's better to drown it." I'm still selling it for money! ”

When the snow fox heard this, he gasped and panted, and spun around in the cage, as if he had nowhere to vent, and took a bite of the chicken with a gleam of semen, as if he regarded the chicken as an enemy, and tore it fiercely, venting enough, as if he couldn't bear the hunger, and ate it in small bites.

Shen Xue was on the side, watching it straight, and Li'er was also full of admiration.

Mu Bingyue saw it, her lips went up, it seems that this snow fox also has a temper! It's more spiritual than a dog, although I don't know how it seems to be able to understand human words, but it's rare for Shen Xue to like it, it's really not good to starve it, and the girl in the province is crying.

After eating, Li began to clean up, Li Tong went out alone to tell the embroidery girl about their move, the house Mu Bingyue bought was in the middle, and those embroidery girls lived closer to it, so it was more convenient.

Mu Bingyue asked the four of them to go to sleep first, she picked up the lamp, and began to write Journey to the West overnight, she changed some inappropriate places, and wrote several articles in a while without much effort. Ling Nuo is blind, she often has to read to her sister and tell stories, and she has a good memory, so she writes very easily.

Mu Bingyue stayed up late at home, and Cao Shu was not idle, staying up all night writing the story Mu Bingyue told.

The next day, Mu Bingyue and the others moved, and Master Chen also took his family to his son's house. Fortunately, the family that sold it had everything in its house, and Mu Bingyue and the others didn't need to buy anything, so they settled down on the same day.
