The carriage drove into the village, and the villagers who were working in the fields looked at the carriage strangely.
Seeing the carriage driving towards the largest house in the village, they stopped doing the work they were doing, picked up their farm tools and went back.
Lu Yi got off the carriage first, and then helped Mu Siyu out.
Lu Zhiqian, Xia Kun and others were carrying the things in the carriage.
After Lu Yi resigned, they decided to go back to the countryside to live for a while and relax.
"An Yu, let's go pick vegetables!"
It just happened to let the people in the village know that An Yu's eyes were healed, and the unpleasant gossip from before should disappear.
"good."
Jiang was wearing silk and satin to send the flower matchmaker out. Seeing Mu Siyu and An Yu walking together, she said in a high voice: "Some people are unfilial, even God can't stand it. Good officials will be gone if they don't, ha...
…”
Mu Siyu was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Jiang looked at Mu Siyu's back and sighed.
"Why are you so proud? I will soon have a new house to live in. It is bigger and better than the one you have."
Thinking of the big one she had done recently, Jiang's eyes were full of pride.
After the house is built, if Dongyuan is given a wife, their family's life will definitely get better and better in the future.
"Mother." Mrs. Tang came over and said flatteringly: "We have no rice and noodles at home. Please take some money and I will go to the city to buy it tomorrow."
"Why is it gone again? Didn't I just give you two taels of silver?" Mrs. Jiang was impatient.
Tang's eyes flashed with boredom, but she didn't dare to show any displeasure on her face, otherwise Jiang would scold her again.
When Mu Siyu and An Yu returned from the vegetable field, everyone in the village knew that An Yu's eyes had been cured.
Mrs. Yao came to the house with her daughter-in-law.
"You just got home, and all the chickens you had earlier were caught in the city. Are there no eggs at home? I brought twenty of them over. You can eat them first."
"Aunt Yao, thank you." Mu Siyu did not refuse Yao's kindness. "By the way, I bought some cakes. You can take them back to your family to try."
"Okay, I'm really hungry now." Yao said with a smile: "How many days do you plan to stay this time? I see that you are packed with things, it doesn't look like you are only staying for two or three days."
"My husband is no longer an official and has a lot of free time. We plan to live in the village and go to the city when we have something to do." Mu Siyu said, "I see that the people in the village are weird. You should have known about it a long time ago, right?"
"Wang has a distant relative who works as an errand in the Yamen. As soon as the news came out, everyone in the village knew about it." Yao curled her lips: "But ignore them, they only dare to say nasty things and don't dare to do it in front of you.
say what."
"I know."
"Speaking of which, if you are not in the village, you don't know how lively our village is." Yao said about what happened recently.
An Yu presented dried fruits and tea.
Zhang Molan followed An Yu to tidy up the room with a bulging belly.
"Sister Mo Lan, you are a guest. You don't have to do these things. You are still pregnant, so you must be careful." An Yu suppressed Zhang Molan's movement of moving the chair.
"I'm fine. I work the same way at home. I'm not so squeamish." Zhang Molan smiled.
"That won't work either." An Yu shook his head seriously.
"You, you look so much like Brother Xia now." Zhang Molan teased.
An Yu's cheeks turned red: "Where is it?"
"Your eyes are healed, and you have good luck behind you!" Zhang Molan said: "When the girls in the village mention you, who wouldn't envy you?"
An Yu nodded gently.
She looked at Xia Kun's busy figure, with disappointment flashing in her eyes.
Everyone thinks that Brother Xia dotes on her, but no one knows that he has never touched her yet.
"Be careful." Xia Kun held on to the vase that almost fell. "Why are you so dazed? The vase almost hit you."
"I didn't pay attention." An Yu looked at the handsome face so close to him, his heart beating uncontrollably.
Xia Kun held An Yu's shoulders and pushed her onto the chair: "Stop it, take a rest first."
"I'm fine."
"Be obedient!" Xia Kun frowned: "Your eyes have to recover slowly, don't be too tired."
There is someone in the Lu family here, and Mrs. Hu came to visit with her two daughters.
Huang Chengfeng's health is getting better, but he still feels tired after walking for too long, so he rarely goes out.
"These are the mushrooms An Ning and Anjing picked in the mountains. They are fresh. I thought I could add some dishes to them, so I sent them to you." Ms. Hu was a little embarrassed. "The chickens I just bought can't lay eggs yet. You are the one who cooks the dishes at home."
Mother planted it, so we picked it up ready-made. This mushroom is the only one that can express our feelings. You and your nephew and son-in-law don’t dislike it."
"Why are you being polite to her?" Yao said from the side: "Your niece is so proud! She lacks nothing."
At first, Mrs. Yao helped Mrs. Hu because of Mu Siyu's face, but now she has become best friends with her.
"Let's have dinner together tonight!" Mu Siyu invited the two families. "Aunt Yao, call Uncle Zhong and the others."
After everyone from the Lu family came back, they had been gossiping in the village for a few days, but when they saw Mu Siyu had no reaction, it was pointless to continue talking. Besides, even if they were not officials, they would still be much richer than them.
Life in the countryside is very leisurely. Before we knew it, the New Year arrived, and everyone had a solid and ordinary New Year in Lujiacun.
Lu Shaoyu and Mu Zhenghan were still in Yangliucheng, and Mu Siyu directly took Tong back to the countryside for the New Year.
Before the Chinese New Year, Lu Xuan handed in the manuscript of the last volume of "Two-Way Mirror", which was a perfect ending.
Years later, Jiang's big house was completed. She also spent a lot of money to hire people from the whole village to warm the house, leaving only Lu Yi's family.
Dream home.
"Master, this new business tax is simply an excuse for Magistrate Zhou to enrich his own pockets. If we pay it, we will have to pay at least one hundred taels of silver every month. Can we eat this loss?" Kite said.
"Do you only accept from us?" Mu Siyu looked at the account book.
"That's not true." Kite said: "This is a newly issued official order. All business people must pay, but the difference is based on the amount of business in their store. Our store must pay more.
I heard that the restaurant opposite only pays fifty taels. Their business is so good, why should we pay so much?"
"The government asked you to pay, but you dare not to pay? If you don't pay, I'm afraid there will be more troubles." Mu Siyu said: "Fortunately, our store in Suzhou City has been opened, and now our monthly business is
My forehead is rising straight up, I feel much better when I think about it this way.”
"Master is still wise. Miss Zheng Er is in charge of the Suzhou City branch, and her monthly income is almost as good as ours. Master, you are here personally and are responsible for some customized furniture. Miss Zheng Er can rely on ready-made furniture.
There’s not even a craftsman responsible for customizing the furniture.”
"That's what I want to talk about today." Mu Siyu said, "Call Jiang Zhong and Wang Dachun over, and let's discuss who will be in charge of the customization business in Suzhou City."
