Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Poison Scheme
Mu Qiange put these pastries on the table and beckoned to Ah Jin, who was standing behind Xiao Yang, "Eat some snacks first, and I'll go cook for you." ”
She took two steps and saw that the yard was too dirty, so she couldn't help frowning.
"I'm going to cook, can you clean up the ground for me?"
Ah Jin glanced at the vegetable leaves and chicken feces on the ground, and his face suddenly darkened. He was a dignified prince, and this woman didn't want to die, so she told him to do such a thing.
"Hey! The official level will really crush people to death! ”
Mu Qiange shook his head and went into the kitchen to cook for them.
At dinner, Mu Qiange mentioned the matter of buying a house in the city to Ah Jin, and he was very much in favor, after all, it is better to do something small than to farm in the countryside!
It's just that when she saw Liu Cuihua and the man in black, Mu Qiange didn't tell Ah Jin, and she couldn't say it without clear evidence.
Ah Jin looked at Mu Qiange, who wanted to speak and stopped, and he said what he had been hiding in his heart.
"Girl, since you have already bought a house in the city, why don't you buy the land in the countryside!"
The hand holding the broom paused slightly, "Why, I bought a house in the city, but there is no conflict in planting the fields in the countryside."
Although Ah Jin can't find out Mu Qiange's true identity, although there is a surname Mu in the capital, but it is an important minister in the court, isn't his eldest daughter rumored to have died some time ago? Only the second daughter was at home, thinking of this, Ah Jin couldn't help but shake his head, looked at Mu Qiange, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like Prime Minister Mu's daughter.
"What kind of eyes are you?"
Seeing Ah Jin's eyes keep sweeping back and forth on him, Mu Qiange glared at Ah Jin.
"Heh, I'm kind enough to remind you that Baishui Village, where we are located, is located on the border between Wei Shu and Northern Wei Dynasty, and the turmoil in Northern Xinjiang has been severe in recent years, if you don't want to lose more than you gain in the future, it's best to buy the land under your name before you move to the city."
"Really?"
"Can I laugh with you about this kind of thing?"
A pair of slightly slanted phoenix eyes were full of panic, and after a while, the panic faded and became more calm.
"Ah Jin, are you really going to buy the field?"
I don't blame him for thinking too much.
What is the land, the land is the life of the Zhuang family, not to mention the two acres of good paddy fields in his family, how many people in the village are envious. This suddenly said that if it was sold, it would be sold, which was too difficult for people to accept.
"Girl, I'm for your good, I don't want you to lose your wife and soldiers at that time."
Ah Jin knew that Mu Qiange was reluctant, and couldn't help sighing: "There will be a big war between Northern Wei and Wei Shu after all. Although the surface is calm and calm, the two countries have reached a realm where water and fire are incompatible. ”
"Now that you've bought a house in the city, you're good at cooking, you're cooking some snacks or something, and business should be good."
When Mu Qiange heard this, he didn't reply for a long time.
Ah Jin knew that Mu Qiange had feelings for these lands and was reluctant. And this reason is indeed sufficient for himself.
In another year, this piece will belong to the Northern Wei Dynasty and will be taxed. When the time comes, more than half of the dealers who have planted for a year will be requisitioned to make military rations, does she believe it?
Now the plan is only decided by herself, she has said everything she should say, as for whether Mu Qiange agrees to buy land, it depends on herself.
After a night of thinking, Mu Qiange decided to buy the land under his name.
The matter of buying the land was solved, and Mu Qiange was also relieved a lot in her heart, she hummed a little song, took out her silver money from the old elm cabinet, put it on the bed, and began to calculate carefully.
"This is to buy a house, this is the family's expenses, this is Ah Jin and himself to make a new clothes......"
The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became, as if a good day was beckoning to her.
Some people rejoice, some people are sad.
"Cuihua, what do you say? Is there a man in black in the city looking for the man named Ah Jin? ”
"No, isn't the portrait in the hand of the man in black Mu Qiange's cousin! It's only a three-point image, but it still can't hide it from my eyes. Liu Cuihua saw that the man in black was looking for Ah Jin, and her face was incredible: "Those people in black are not good people at first glance, and I don't know what Mu Qiange and her cousin are." ”
Liu Shi tsk: "I have long seen that the two of them are not good things, you still have a heart on the heart of the person named Jin, since you now know that Ah Jin is in trouble, you should not provoke him in the future." ”
"Oops! Mother, I know! Liu Cuihua still looked angry: "I have a crush on Brother A Jin, don't you and your father also approve of it?" Now I just know that there are a few men in black who are looking for him, and I can't be sure that that's a bad thing. ”
"It's not a bad thing, isn't it a good thing?"
Hearing this, Liu Cuihua's eyebrows fluttered: "Let me tell you so, if I leak the news of Ah Jin in our village to those black-clothed people, do you say that they will give me a large sum of silver, then we don't have to care about farming, and we will still live a good life.!"
"Think about it, if this news leaks out, it will be a lot of money!"
"Amitabha." Liu patted his chest: "Then in this way, as long as the news of Ah Jin's presence in He Village is leaked to those black-clothed people, why will they be rich?" ”
"That's it."
Liu Cuihua was arrogant: "When I make money, I will buy a very big mansion, and buy a few beautiful girls, one for you to beat your back, and one for you to wash your feet." The fields in the countryside don't have to be planted anymore, and we still have endless food. ”
"The money is not yet in my hands. Liu patted Liu Cuihua, but the smile on his face was even brighter: "Be careful, don't let the people in the village know, this news in their hands is very valuable now." When you really get the money, let alone buy a mansion, you can buy a few mansions in the city. ”
Liu Cuihua raised her eyebrows and gave a thumbs up excitedly: "It's still you!" ”
"Go!"
Liu slapped her hand away, with a worried face: "But let's not be too happy, if those people in black don't give them a silver tael, we can't do anything to them!" It seems that we still need to think of a foolproof solution. ”
Mu Qiange slept very unsteadily this night, worried about Ah Jin's affairs, and it wasn't until the slight snoring of the man in the next room that she quietly got up.
He put on a cloak and crept out, and as soon as he got closer, he heard movement outside the courtyard.
It turned out that Aunt Li had come to lead the carriage so early.
Mu Qiange looked at the sky outside that was not yet bright, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Aunt Li, why are you here so early today." ”
Aunt Li saw that she might have woken up Mu Qiange, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm used to getting up early, but I'm just arguing with you, and I really don't want to go." ”
"It's okay Aunt Li, I can't sleep either, so I got up early, it's none of your business."
Aunt Li glanced at Mu Qiange, who was sleepy-eyed, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "Qiange, do you have something in your heart, why don't you say it, see if I can help?" ”
Mu Qiange sighed slightly, and looked at Aunt Li's eyes and couldn't help but darken a little.
"You went to Village Chief Liu's house yesterday, but did you see Liu Cuihua, what was wrong with her?"
Aunt Li paused slightly as she led the carriage out, and looked up at Mu Qiange, "This Liu Cuihua is no different from usual, and she also ignores the pastries I sent for you, I don't think she knows." What kind of person she is, I still know better, this Liu Cuihua is a person who can't hide things, if it is really like what you said, she will not hide it so well. ”
With Aunt Li's words, Mu Qiange was a lot relieved. Seeing Aunt Li leading the carriage into the city, Mu Qiange looked at the early sky, then turned around and went back to the house.
This night, Mu Qiange slept until noon and didn't get up, Ah Jin dragged the reluctant Xiao Yang out, and continued to write yesterday's unfinished homework, Mu Qiange was not idle, went to the vegetable garden to cut a stubble of shallots, and some vegetable leaves, and then feed those chickens and ducks.
Today's sun is good, and the golden sun is warm and comfortable on people.
Mu Qiange's bad mood that had been depressed all day yesterday also disappeared without a trace with the reason for the good sun.
The chickens and ducks she fed finally laid eggs, which made Mu Qiange happy.
Ah Jin looked at a few eggs in Mu Qian's singer, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Aren't they just a few eggs?" Look at the ones who give you pleasure. ”
"It's the result of all my hard work over the years."
Mu Qiange took the eggs to the kitchen and put them away, turned around and smiled at Ah Jin and Xiao Yang in the yard: "I'm in a good mood today, I'll make you something to eat." ”
Hearing the delicious food, Xiao Yang immediately danced with his hands.
"Then let's make a flower chicken today."
Mu Qiange said and grabbed a fatter chicken from the chicken pen.
"Ah Jin, I'll kill the chickens, you help me pick up some firewood."
"What are you going to do to collect firewood, aren't there a lot of them in the kitchen?"
Obviously, Ah Jin is very reluctant to do these things that only people do.
"I'm going to do it in this yard, so it's fun."
"Are you sure that the chicken you made is really edible?"
"What if it's so easy for you to guess how unskilled I am? Hurry up and pick up firewood. "Mu Qiange sold a good boy.
Fortunately, they were in the countryside, and there were trees around the yard, and after a while, Ah Jin picked up a lot of firewood.
At this time, Mu Qiange had already killed the chicken, but did not bleed.
She took out the internal organs of the chicken from the ****, and smeared the braised beef-flavored condiment from the **** to the abdominal cavity of the chicken. It's just that the feathers on the chickens haven't started to pluck yet.
"Ah Jin, you go over there and give me some mud." Mu Qiange pointed to the place in the vegetable garden.
"A thousand songs! You cook and cook, how do you return the mud well? After listening to Mu Qiange's words, Ah Jin, who didn't know why, was a little anxious.
"That's right, I'm just doing the flower chicken, and your step is the most critical. Don't be too thin or too dry. I'm of great use. Mu Qiange was very confident in the dishes he was about to make, and couldn't help urging.
Helplessly, Ah Jin pouted, reluctantly went to the kitchen to bring a basin of water, and then used a shovel to get some yellow mud in the vegetable garden, and began to stir it up.
Xiao Yang, who had big characters written on it, had long been de-interested by the call in Mu Qiange's mouth.
"Brother Jin, can I help you?"
Ah Jin glanced at Xiao Yang, originally this kind of thing with yellow mud, children like it more.
He handed the shovel in his hand to Xiao Yang, "Then you have a good relationship, you have to satisfy your sister Qiange." ”
Xiao Yang nodded, and within a quarter of an hour, he had already walked over with a large lump of yellow mud.
"Well, yes, it seems that there is really nothing wrong with this kind of thing with Huang Ni Ah Jin handing it over to you. I'll go pick some grass, and you and Brother Ah Jin will put this mud on this chicken. ”
After Mu Qiange finished explaining, he turned around and left, leaving a reluctant A Jin.
