Chapter 142: The consequences are serious
Since Zhou Yue gave the order, Mai Xiaohuan went to the ranch to find his father, most of this village was planted with crops, and more than 100 acres were divided into cattle pens, goose pens and chicken coops. There is a piece of mountainous land in the back, and Mai Xiaohuan also bought it, and fenced it off to raise livestock and poultry. The collected manure was used as fertilizer, and the grass in the fields was cut back for chickens and geese to eat.
"Dad, mother, let the long-term workers do these jobs, you just watch from the sidelines." How many times have I said this, and every time they have agreed, it is very good, but what is the result?
Shan Cuihua carried the basket to pick up eggs, Mai Wang and the long-term workers cleaned the cattle pen together, Mai Xiaohuan waved to them, and took the lead to walk under the shade of the tree.
"Your father and I are idle, and it's good for your body to move, isn't that what you said?"
"Yes."
Okay! These two people will strike first, Mai Xiaohuan patted the position next to him and asked them to sit down: "Daddy, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the capital in a few days." ”
This child walked from Shaxi Village to Qingcheng County, and then from Qingcheng County to Tongbei County, she thought that there was a mountain villa and a workshop, she would not toss anymore, where would she think of it...... O capital! She has lived for almost forty years, and she never thought that the people around her would have the opportunity to go there, and Shan Cuihua didn't know how to react for a while.
Leaving a buffer time for the two of them, Mai Xiaohuan explained after a while that Qu Hao was involved in buying the villa, and only Zhou Yue could help solve this matter. Zhou Yue fell in love with the house he designed and wanted him to go to the capital to help build such a mansion, but he could only agree to it.
"You can give him that drawing! I can't find anyone in the capital, so I have to let you go, Xiao Huan! You're twelve years old this year, and you're already a big girl, and you've traveled thousands of miles with a man to let others know that you can gossip. Shan Cuihua persuaded her daughter bitterly.
I also know that if handing over the drawings can solve the problem, how can I go with him? Mai Xiaohuan had no choice but to say that she also wanted to take the opportunity to see her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she hadn't seen her for more than two years, so she missed them very much.
This is true, although Shan Cuihua did not stop Mai Xiaohuan from going, but she had to bring someone as a companion, and Mai Yonghai was the most suitable person.
As soon as he heard that he was going with Zhou Yue, Mai Yonghai refused to live or die, and he generously gave the opportunity to his sister Mai Xiaofang. Speaking of her fear of Zhou Yue, Mai Xiaofang is only a lot more than her second brother. She turned her head to Mai Wan again, and Mai Wan reacted more directly, leaving her daughter-in-law and children and trotting out.
Didn't you go to the Longtan Tiger's Den, did these people go to? If it wasn't really inappropriate to go alone, she wouldn't want to be difficult for everyone!
"Did Yue Gongzi say that he left one day? Our Tang family will enter Beijing recently, and there are shops and ready-made accommodations there, if you can rest assured, you can let Xiao Huan go with me. "Of course Tang Yujun doesn't want his sweetheart to follow such a dangerous character into Beijing, sister-in-law? Since she had to go, all she could do was escort her into Beijing.
"I'll take Shanju with me, follow the Tang family's convoy, and live in my stepmother's house or the Tang family's shop after I go, as long as the things over there are finished, I'll come back."
The juniors all think it's good to do this, Shan Ju is Qu Hao's maid to Mai Xiaohuan, and there is another named Shan Xing who was originally given to Mai Xiaofang. The two of them are used to being comfortable, and McWan and his wife do not approve, and they both think that there is no need for countrymen to use maids. Mai Xiaohuan also didn't like people to follow him, so he sent the two little girls to live with his family, and when Zhuangzi was busy, he could also come out to do odd jobs to supplement the family.
Shan Cuihua was still not at ease, if it weren't for the breath exuded by Zhou Yue's body, she couldn't bear it, if it weren't for the fact that she was drumming in her heart when she thought of the capital, she would definitely follow her daughter.
When I arrived in Tongbei County, of course, I had to go to see Qu Hao, and by the way, I asked him if he had anything to give to his stepmother. What she didn't expect was that Qu Hao was very resolute in this matter, and refused to let Mai Xiaohuan go with Zhou Yue if he said anything.
The Mai family and Mai Xiaohuan himself may not have found anything strange, but he saw it very really, that person didn't have any good intentions at all, although the righteous sister was still young, but she had an attractive quality, which had nothing to do with appearance and identity.
It was her uniqueness that attracted her attention, and the Tang family took a fancy to it, and Zhou Yue chased after her from thousands of miles. Even if he has no malicious intent, he is dedicated to Mai Xiaohuan's good. The gap between the two people is clearly there, is it said that it can be overcome by overcoming?
"Why do you have to go to the capital with him, isn't it good to stay in Qingcheng County to make money? There's a mountain lodge and a ranch, and if you don't have enough, you can add more. ”
Still buying, can't you say any of this? Fortunately, Brother Qu didn't think about himself, otherwise he wouldn't have promised himself. Mai Xiaohuan said that with the Tang family by his side, he knew the proportions, which reassured Qu Hao.
How can you rest assured! It's going to be a sheep, if you don't have a lawsuit, you can ask for leave to accompany her to Beijing, now is not the time to leave.
"Oops! I'm not a child anymore, when have you done something unreliable, you can rest assured! After this year's autumn harvest, you can compare the data of the two years and summarize the experience.
Now there are a lot of people here who are willing to follow the mountain villa to learn how to improve the land, you! Take advantage of the good season of autumn and lead the people to do a good job! If they want to learn how to grow vegetables and cultivate medicinal herbs, they will go to my second brother, but I should remind them to prepare grain early next year to pay the rent, and not to buy grain like a swarm in the autumn, it is not cost-effective. ”
That's not what you're supposed to be worried about right now! Qu Hao saw that Mai Xiaohuan looked like he had made up his mind, and knew that it was useless to persuade him. wrote a letter for her to take with her, and asked Qu Mang to follow, repeatedly telling her to live in Qufu after entering Beijing, and not to live in the palace or Zhou Yue's other courtyard.
"Got it." I don't know what Brother Qu is worried about, but after a big circle, Mai Xiaohuan went back to Zhou Yue to return to his life. Zhou Yue heard that the housekeeper of the Qu Mansion would follow, and he would go with the Tang family, so he almost turned his face, did the bad girl distrust herself so much? Yesterday, I thought I had found someone who trusted each other!
Mai Xiaohuan didn't want to fall short at this time, she hurriedly said that her father and mother were not worried about traveling far away, so she made these arrangements, after all, she was twelve years old, and if she was on the road with Zhou Yue alone, it wouldn't sound good to say.
"Why are you afraid that I will sell you, or take advantage of you!" She's always taking advantage of herself, okay! Touching his face, holding hands, patting his shoulders, asking about his age, I don't know, but after counting, Zhou Yue felt that he was the one who suffered a big loss!
"I'm not so sentimental yet, am I? What do you want, how can you beat the idea of someone like me, the key is that you know, I know that others don't know what's going on! If someone says that I eloped with you, my mother must faint in fright. ”
Pretty self-aware, isn't it? She can even say that she eloped with her, and she is not shy. Looking at the frank way she said this, didn't she really have any other thoughts about herself!
People are really strange creatures, looking at those girls every day, Zhou Yue feels bored. finally found a different, she is not interested in herself at all, the relationship between the two people is one transaction after another, if it weren't for Qu Hao's accusation, it is estimated that this girl will have to take a detour when she sees herself.
In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, I can only tie people to my side and go to the capital...... For this little money fan, if she can make a lot of money, she will definitely be tempted to stay.
Later...... Zhou Yue hadn't thought it through yet, nor had he figured out how to position the relationship between the two people, he decided to follow his own wishes, anyway, as long as Mai Xiaohuan didn't leave him, other things were easy to discuss.
The next day, Zhou Yue went to Qingcheng County, and when he left, Mai Xiaohuan told him not to let Qu Hao know about this matter before the two of them left. If he knew about the deal he made with Zhou Yue, he would have to go to the capital.
Zhou Yue testified, Mai Xiaohuan's procedures for buying land were complete, and the matter had a result on the same day, the new county guard and Qu Zhiyi were close friends, and he wanted to tell Qu Hao the good news as soon as possible, but Zhou Yue stopped him, and asked him to notify Qu Hao a month after he left. The officials themselves have to explain it!
Yes, yes, the county guard apologized to Zhou Yue for his recklessness, and Zhou Yue asked him to take care of the Mai family when he left. Where do the county guards dare not agree! He just felt curious, how did this prince of Chen Wang and the ordinary Mai family get together?
If it weren't for Mai Xiaohuan's incident, the Tang family planned to enter Beijing in half a month, and everyone would have become relatives, and this favor must be helped. Besides, this is a great opportunity to get close to the Chenwang Mansion, how could they miss it!
The shrewd Tang Xianhua left his son and nephew behind, and took a little girl of the same grade as Mai Xiaohuan from the Tang family, so that the two of them could take care of them on the road.
Hearing that he didn't have to follow him into Beijing, the most eye-catching person was taken away again, Tang Yujun was bubbling with happiness, and he almost hummed a little song and danced.
The surname is Tang, you wait for me to come back and then clean you up, Mai Xiaohuan clenched his fist and waved at Tang Yujun, warning him that it was best to be honest.
Among all the people, Shan Cuihua was the most entangled in her heart, one was afraid that her daughter would make a mistake, and the other was afraid that she would lose it, but when Mai Xiaohuan was about to leave, she suddenly regretted it, crying and saying that she would not let her daughter leave, as if this separation, the mother and daughter would never see each other again.
Zhou Yue sat in the car and forcibly suppressed his anger, if it weren't for the fact that Shan Cuihua was Mai Xiaohuan's mother, he would probably have turned his face.
I had to leave before I remembered to regret it, Qu Hao and Mai Xiaofang wanted to say why did you go earlier, can that person be sent away casually by his own family? In the end, it was Mai Xiaohuan who broke free from her arms and got into the car, which brought a farce to an end.
It's not that she is ruthless and doesn't care about her family's feelings, it's that Zhou Yue has already knocked on the car window twice, and if she doesn't leave, the consequences will be unimaginable.
