Chapter 7 Ask him to come to the back garden to meet him
These days.
Mu Tianming didn't go anywhere, except for cooking porridge and making steamed buns with Qiufu in the kitchen, he was reading at home. Speaking of making steamed buns, Mu Tianming's kneading techniques have become more and more proficient in the past few days.
On this day, there were gongs and drums beating on the street, so it was not lively.
Mu Tianming went to the street to inquire and learned that it was the Ximen official who married the fourth concubine, which was the team to greet the relatives.
This Ximen official, named Ximen Yuanshang, is a local tycoon, his family runs a medicinal herb business, plus he bought an official, and he is called a big official.
This Simon is a villain in the plot of the game, colluding with the government, oppressing the people, forcibly grabbing, secretly doing a lot of bad things, and belongs to a bullie. But Bisheng is close to the government, and no one can do anything to him.
Including the neighbor Li Qiaoer, who was also a female celebrity in his house before, was taken a fancy to, and wanted to be a concubine. Li Qiaoer didn't agree, which was regarded as offending the Ximen family.
Mu Tianming changed his face and followed the team to join in the fun.
Seeing that there were many strong men queuing up to receive money, Mu Tianming went over to inquire and learned that this was the temporary porter recruited by the Ximen family. Because the concubine in the fourth room is a rich woman, there are a lot of dowries that need to be carried by chariots, horses and porters.
Mu Tianming was squeezed forward by the crowd, and before he could say that he was not here to apply for a porter, he was given a red rope to hang around his neck.
"The porters, thirty cents each, are responsible for picking the dowry. Pick up the Ximen official's mansion, go to the treasury to receive the salary, and each person will have an additional five wen reward. ”
The butler in the cyan hat said.
Mu Tianming had nothing to do, so he followed.
He had taken two "Dao Fruits", and with all his strength, it was not difficult to carry the burden, and he didn't know what good things were in this burden.
followed the team to the Ximen Mansion and saw that this was a magnificent mansion with five entrances and seven courtyards.
It is said that the neighbors on the left and right also bought it and opened it up, which can be called a real wealthy compound.
Mu Tianming followed the team and put the burden into a warehouse in the backyard, which was full of large wooden boxes and bamboo baskets. It is sealed with a red letter of happiness, and it looks jubilant.
After putting it down, I went back to pick the second and third trips.
It turned out that this fourth concubine, named Liu Hui, was originally married to a rich man, and after the rich man died, Liu Hui shared a large amount of property, and got along with Ximen Yuanshang, so she married with a rich dowry.
"There are two conditions for this Ximen official to marry a concubine, either she is beautiful and talented, and she understands customs. Either you have money, like Liu Hui. Although the appearance is average, but it is rich, these dowries are really a lot. ”
Several porters gathered together, squatted on the ground and drank from a bowl, chatting in a whisper.
Mu Tianming looked at the dowry full of warehouses, and his mind suddenly lit up, thinking of his own carry-on space. On weekdays, as long as your mind moves, you can put the things in front of you into the space.
And these ...... in this storeroom?
Thinking of this, Mu Tianming looked back at the Ximen housekeeper, the handyman, and the porter at the door of the warehouse.
"Hey, you guys still have you, don't just stand, quickly move things into the warehouse, neatly arranged, it's getting dark!"
A man from Ximen Mansion in green clothes pointed to Mu Tianming and said.
Mu Tianming slowed down his movements, carried it in the warehouse, and waited for it to get dark.
It's getting dark.
Mu Tianming started with the innermost boxes in the warehouse and silently recited "receive"
Harvest.
Harvest.
Harvest.
The three large boxes silently disappeared into place and entered the carry-on space.
Boy.
Mu Tianming found a new way to get rich, and put away the wooden boxes and bamboo baskets.
From another point of view, this can be regarded as "eliminating harm for the people".
Meanwhile.
At Zhang Xiucai's house in the south of the city.
Zhang Wan'er, a young lady of the Zhang family, held a post in her hand, lightly opened her lips, and read the small poem above:
Red beans are born in the south, a few branches are sent in spring, I wish you to pick more, this thing is the most lovesick.
The payment is Chengnan Mu Tianming.
"Miss, this is a caring person, you see that there is a red bean sticky on the post."
Biyun, a close-fitting maid in verdant clothes, laughed softly.
Biyun secretly collected all the posts that came to propose marriage to Zhang Wan'er to see.
Zhang Wan'er took this post with a small poem of red beans, and she had been reading this poem for half an hour, and she had been chanting this poem in her mouth.
"Red beans are born in the south, a few branches are sent in spring, I wish you to pick more, this thing is the most lovesick...... Biyun, this Mutian, Mugongzi, what kind of person is he? Zhang Wan'er asked.
The maid Biyun shook her head: "I haven't seen it either." Miss, is he well written this poem? ”
Zhang Wan'er smiled but did not answer, holding her cheeks in her hand, looking at the garden outside the window.
"Do you want me to ask him over and meet him in the back garden?" Biyun proposed.
Zhang Wan'er flew her cheeks, bowed her head and said, "How can that work?" ”
"Why can't that work?" Biyun asked, "If the young lady is embarrassed to come forward, hide behind the rockery, and I will come forward to talk to him." You can watch from the back. ”
"No, no, this can't be done." Zhang Wan'er said, "Besides, if my father knows, I'm afraid I won't be scolded to death." ”
"If the master knows, he will say that it is Biyun's idea, and Biyun will be beaten and scolded. The young lady is a daughter, where is the lord willing to scold. Biyun said, "Do you want Biyun to deliver the message?" I can ask the matchmaker where his house is. ”
Zhang Wan'er's cheeks flushed and nodded gently.
Mu Tianming carried it in the house of the Ximen official.
I didn't expect this dowry to be so rich, and it lasted until the second half of the night, and there was still a porter to send it.
The people of Ximen Mansion who counted at the door of the warehouse were dozing one by one, and the housekeeper who was in charge of recording the ledger carried a pot of rice wine and took notes while drinking.
Anyway, this Ximen Mansion is full of people, and there are ten guards at the door, surrounded by high walls, and there are no fear of thieves coming to steal. What's more, how bold did a thief dare to steal from Simon's house? I'm afraid it hasn't been born yet.
But Mu Tianming didn't care about this, and he didn't stop collecting in the warehouse.
Not only did he collect all the treasury where the dowry was stored, but he even inquired about other warehouses, and when he went in to deliver things, he took the silver from the treasury by the way.
Wait until the second half of the night to watch the third watch.
Mu Tianming followed the porters out of the courtyard of the Ximen family.
Mu Tianming turned left and right in the city, making sure that no one was following behind him, before he came out of an alley and returned to his courtyard.
It was late at night. And I am tired enough to carry the burden during the day, and I must have no strength to work hard at night.
So Mu Tianming did not go to Qiufuna in the west wing, but returned to the bedroom of the main house, lit the velvet with a fire sickle, and burned charcoal in the sleeve stove and brazier to drive away the cold in the house.
After lying down, I didn't have time to count today's harvest, and I fell asleep after a while.
It was early in the morning of the second day.
A little woman in a Biluo skirt is knocking on the courtyard door.
Seeing that no one opened the door, the little woman slipped a piece of paper through the gap in the threshold under the door.
Three poles on the sun.
After Mu Tianming woke up, he first checked his personal space.
There are 16 large wooden boxes and 38 bamboo baskets. There are a few boxes of tea, and some of them are python clothes and jade belts, hat top rings, gold and silver jewelry, and antique porcelain are all valuable treasures.
There is also a box with fifty or sixty catties of agarwood and three hundred catties of ash.
The rest of the boxes are all silver ingots, one ingot and one new ingot, eleven taels, and the arrangement is full of Deng.
Qiu Fu knocked on the door: "Xianggong, when did you come back last night, why didn't you go to me?" I made you porridge. ”
Mu Tianming let her in.
Qiu Fu served to feed the porridge.
Thinking that the business had not been done yet, and the attribute points had not been obtained, Mu Tianming carried her to the table after drinking the porridge.
