Leaving the official residence and looking at the land deed in his hand, Xu Mu felt a surge of pride.
"Master, are these things... okay?"
At this moment, Chen Sheng was holding three simple knives in his hands and two iron bows on his back. In Daji, the management of iron weapons was strict. How could ordinary people like Chen Sheng have had the opportunity to touch them before?
to these standard weapons.
"It's okay, everything has been registered." Xu Mu smiled.
Although there are not many weapons, we finally have a good start.
Everything seems to be going in the right direction, except for one thing.
Back in the yard, as soon as Chen Sheng put down his weapon, Si Hu and others came running over cheering and formed a group.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at Jiang Caiwei who was smashing firewood in the yard. While biting his lip, he raised the stone hammer high and smashed the firewood branches on the ground.
Many branches were cut off at once.
Without an iron axe, ordinary people in Daji would just break firewood like this. Even if they are tired, they can always break out fine firewood after a long time.
Touching the silver bag in his arms, Xu Mu was a little confused.
His initial idea was to earn a sum of money to finance Jiang Caiwei's long journey, so that she could stay away from the border and seek refuge with relatives in the inner city.
But now, the direction seems to be wrong, and the two people are tied more and more tightly.
After a moment of silence, Xu Mugang was about to say a few words.
At this time——
With a bang, the courtyard door was pushed open.
Before Xu Mu could get up, two official servants had already walked in, holding their swords in their waists.
"Who is Xu Mu?"
In the courtyard, not only Si Hu and the others, but also the maid's wife Jiang Caiwei also looked uneasy.
Most of the time, nothing good will happen if you get started as an official.
"Master, I am." Xu Mu stood up hesitantly, wondering if the old wine shop had caused another obstacle.
"This is for you." The leader, an official with a full beard, immediately took out a thin file from his arms before approaching.
Xu Mu took it and opened it and found that it was a notarized land deed.
This is actually not necessary. Anyway, there are formal registration procedures with the old officer.
But after thinking about it, Xu Mu immediately understood, calmly took a few taels of silver from his arms, and handed it into the hand of the bearded officer.
"I was still wondering why it wasn't notarized. Thank you so much, sir."
"Haha, yes, Master Xu is a man who does great things." After taking the money, the two officials smiled happily.
Notarization is just a pretense, asking for money is the real thing.
"Si Hu, go get the jar of good wine."
"Master Xu, I heard that the wine you have is only five liang per jar, how can this be done!" The two officials listened to Xu Mu's words, their faces were ecstatic, and after pretending to refuse, they immediately held the wine jar in their arms.
"I, Xu Mu, respect heroes the most in my life. These two officers look like heroes. Please keep walking around in the future."
"It's easy to say, Mr. Xu Fang, if you encounter any injustice, just give me Tian Song's name in Wangzhou City!"
This is a transaction, driven by interests, everyone gets something.
Xu Mu deeply understands this truth.
However, as soon as the official left, what he originally wanted to tell Jiang Caiwei suddenly became impossible to utter.
"Everyone, please come back today. Make some preparations first. Remember to inform your family that when the winery and village are completed, you can move there and settle down and start a family."
Chen Sheng and others present were all excited.
In Wangzhou City, being a half-dead horse driver is no better than settling down in a village outside. Although it will be a bit dangerous, your mother-in-law will also help with the work, and the extra wages will be enough to make many people envious.
Already.
"Thank you, boss!"
Xu Mu also followed suit and watched Chen Sheng and others leave.
"Si Hu, come out with me."
Si Hu put down the wine spoon in his hand and stood up quickly.
"Bring...a knife."
Everyone on the left and right is registered, so even if they are interrogated by officials, nothing will happen to them, and more importantly, this is a deterrent.
Sihu picked out the three plain knives for a long time with his face flushed, and then picked up a wider scabbard. He loosened the belt and tied it before inserting it in again.
I don’t blame Si Hu for his behavior. Although they are all standard weapons, they are actually retired. For example, if a soldier dies in battle, the simple knives recovered and the inferior ones will be collected and distributed to replenish the weapons.
Go to the weapons depots of various city government offices.
"Brother Mu, don't you want to pick one?"
Xu Mu shook his head. Walking through the market with too much swagger is not a good thing.
One handful is enough.
"Brother Mu, where are we going?" With the Pu Dao, Si Hu became more energetic.
"Otherwise, I'll kill Guaizitang!"
Xu Mu's face was speechless, "Stop being so silly and follow me to the street to buy some things."
If you want to build a winery and village, you don't have to worry about wood. Anyway, there are plenty of woods on the other side of the four roads.
But the remaining pottery and tools must be bought.
It wasn't until it got dark that Xu Mu selected the pottery tools, hired a carriage, and asked Si Hu to move to the car.
"Brother Mu, hurry up, or your little maid will come looking for you with a knife later." Sitting on the carriage, Si Hu showed a silly smile.
However, Xu Mu glared at him and turned his head away in dismay.
Standing on the street, Xu Mu stood silently for a while before taking steps towards a cloth shop opposite.
"Officials buy materials? Or ready-made clothes?"
Xu Mu looked sad. Even in his previous life, he was busy with work. He didn't even have a girlfriend, let alone getting married. Occasionally, when he had a good blind date, he just hurriedly watched a movie and then went to the hotel, just like a routine matter.
"Bought for the wife of the family?"
Xu Mu hesitated and nodded slowly.
"That's a coincidence. I have an underskirt made of floral fabrics. I sold several sets today. The ladies from the official family liked it very much."
Xu Mu's heart felt inexplicably, thinking of Jiang Caiwei's thin and thin body standing under the old wall.
"I took it."
"Okay, the official is really his own person. The wife of the family should be very happy."
Holding up the thin wooden box containing the skirt, Xu Mu straightened his clothes before moving forward and getting on the carriage.
As Xu Mu expected.
The maid's wife, Jiang Caiwei, was waiting at the entrance of the alley holding a grease lantern as usual.
"Si Hu, take the carriage back first."
Before Si Hu could ask questions, Xu Mu jumped down, held the thin wooden box, and walked up to Jiang Caiwei with a hesitant look on his face.
"Xu, Xu Lang."
"Come closer."
From the moment they met until now, Jiang Caiwei seems to be worried that Xu Mu will be angry, so she always deliberately stands farther away.
Xu Mu opened the thin wooden box, took out the colorful undershirt, and placed it in Jiang Caiwei's hand.
Jiang Caiwei was startled, the look of surprise on her face fleeting, and then turned into nervousness.
"Xu Lang, this, I can't have this, it's too expensive!"
"You misunderstood." Xu Mu said with some difficulty, "I mean, this is loaned to you. You will have to pay back the money for the clothes in the future... two cents per day, and then we'll finish."
Turning around and walking back, Xu Mu slapped himself in the mouth. God knows what he just said in a daze.
Xu Mu didn't know that after he turned around, Jiang Caiwei hugged her skirt, her eyes were moist, and she showed a happy smile.
