Chapter 112 The Mu Family's Father and Daughter Are Here
Li Wen was stared at so hard that his hair stood on end, and he replayed what Jiang Zhiyue said over and over again in his mind. But...
It seemed that he had been talking all the time, but Miss Jiang really didn't say a few words.
The longest part he said was the long paragraph asking the master to help find someone.
Ouyang Ming's gaze became more and more piercing, and Li Wen felt that it was indeed a bit cold in this deep winter.
But at this moment, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Suddenly, Li Wen felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.
He hurriedly opened his mouth to make amends: "Miss Jiang said...she said that Miss Jiang was concerned about how my master was doing recently. She also asked me what my master was doing recently. She said that it was cold and asked my master to keep warm. She said,
Seeing Ouyang Ming's expression slowly softening, Li Wen seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du channels.
He babbled a lot, regardless of whether Jiang Zhiyue actually said those words.
After finishing this long phone call, Li Wen could only breathe heavily from exhaustion, feeling that he was not as tired as this after running outside for a whole day.
Li Da saw that Ouyang Ming's expression had improved a lot, and took the opportunity to say, "Master, please bandage the wound on your arm first. Miss Jiang would be displeased if she knew that Master doesn't take care of his body."
Li Da thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to persuade him more effectively. They would leave for other places in a while, and it was inappropriate for the master to be injured.
The reason why Ouyang Ming was injured was because he met the royal family's secret guards during the day.
Those people should not be here to search Ouyang Ming, but to handle other matters.
Therefore, when the secret guards saw Ou Yangming, they were very surprised. They did not intend to entangle with Ou Yangming, and wanted to leave to spread the news that Ou Yangming was still alive.
There were too many of them, but the secret guards around the master were assigned to work elsewhere. In order to stop them and prevent the news from leaking out, they fought together.
The injuries on Ouyang Ming's body were left at that time, and he simply wrapped them around and left them alone.
But obviously, what Li Da just said was effective.
He asked Li Da to call the doctor to bandage him, while he stayed where he was and continued to ask Li Wen about the Jiang family.
The fireworks were set off for a while and then gradually went out, and Guhuai Village fell into silence. Only occasionally two dogs barked.
Early the next morning, while it was still dark, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out in the village.
The twenty-ninth year of the Wei Dynasty came on this day.
Along with it comes the first snow of winter.
It doesn't snow easily in the south, but on the first day of the new year, heavy snow fell.
Saburo cheered in the yard: "It's snowing!"
His voice was loud and cheerful, and everyone who was still in bed heard it.
At this moment, everyone put on their cotton clothes and ran out like a gust of wind.
It was still dark outside, and the kerosene lamps lit in each room shed some light from the windows, illuminating the snow in the yard.
It hadn't snowed yet when they went to bed in the early morning, but now the snow was two fingers thick, making a pia~pia~ sound when they stepped on it. After everyone came out, they didn't even wash their faces, they just ran in the yard cheering.
It's just that the snow is still thin, so we can't build a big snowman.
Jiang Zhiyue took them to build a small snowman, and used red beans and small red cloth strips to make the snowman's eyes and scarf.
Finally, small snowmen were piled up in a row beside the wall. The snow heralded a good year, and this snow was also a good sign.
The Jiang family doesn't have any relatives here yet, but there are quite a few people who come to chat with them on New Year's Day.
Most of them are women from the village who come to visit with their pretty daughters or their sons.
In short, everyone in the Jiang family was not idle all day long. They came and went and received countless people.
…
As soon as the first day of the new year passed, the following days seemed to go much faster.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Ping and Mu Qiqi, father and daughter, followed Mu Ran (son of Butler Mu) to Guhuai Village.
Luocheng and Guhuai Village are far apart. Mu Ping and others set out a few days ago and only arrived here on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
They arrived just before noon.
Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Sun sent a woman about their age out of the door with a smile.
The woman who came out had a matchmaker's mole on the corner of her mouth. She was also a bit plump and had a smile on her face when she looked at people.
This is Matchmaker Wang from the next village. She knows exactly which family has a girl who should come out of the palace or whose child should get married in these eight villages.
The Jiang family and Wang family have been here for so long that others have gradually become familiar with them.
Originally it was only known that the two families who had fled famine had some poor fortunes, but later the news spread that Jiang Yuchao was a scholar.
After this, not only the people in Guhuai Village, but also the people in the neighboring villages knew about this matter.
For people like them, if a scholar comes out of the village, it is an extremely honorable thing.
Therefore, people of the right age such as Jiang Dalang's gate naturally become popular in the eyes of outsiders.
Zhang, Wang and Huang Huaihua also happened to be interested in arranging marriage for them, so they would not refuse the matchmaker who came to inquire about the news.
As soon as Zhang and Sun sent Matchmaker Wang away, they saw the carriage parked in front of their house, and the driver was Mu Ran who had sent them here in the first place.
Mu Ran jumped down from the carriage shaft, then moved a stool from the side and placed it on the ground and knocked on the carriage.
"Second Master, Miss, we are here."
The carriage door was pushed open from the inside, and Mu Ping walked out first.
He stepped on the stool that Mu Ran had just placed on the ground and walked down, and then helped Mu Qiqi down as well, who poked her head out from behind.
The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face had not yet fallen when she saw them.
She stood in front of the door and said, "Oh, here you are, it's such a long way, why do you think you're even making this trip?"
He said this, but his movements were not slow at all to invite people inside.
Zhang called Mu Ping and Mu Qiqi to go inside, while Sun called Mu Ran to drive the carriage into the yard from another gate.
As for the matchmaker who had just been sent out, her eyes were filled with tears when she saw such a luxuriously decorated carriage arriving in front of Jiang's house.
This Jiang family actually knows such a wealthy family.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have a suitable son or daughter in her family, she would have wanted to get married.
But even if she can't get into such an in-law, as long as she can arrange a marriage, the money she will get will definitely be a lot less.
Matchmaker Wang thought this, then happily rubbed the handkerchief in her hand and left.
Everyone in the Jiang family was surprised when they saw the arrival of the Mu family father and daughter.
He quickly greeted people and invited them into the house.
Mu Ran also carried the gifts from the carriage and followed Sun.
Everyone in the Jiang family looked at Mu Ping and Mu Qiqi. They were both wearing clothes made of silk and satin.
While they were looking at the Mu family father and daughter, they were also looking at the Jiang family.
Seeing that the Jiang family looked good, they knew that the life of the Jiang family here was not bad. After the confinement period, little Wang was also sitting in the main room chatting and warming up by the fire.
She and Mrs. Jiang each held a chubby-looking little baby.
The two babies have just turned one month old. Two days ago, the Jiang family dyed a lot of red eggs and gave them to people in the village.
Now that both babies were wrapped in thick swaddling clothes, Mu Ping took out two sterling silver longevity locks from his arms and stuffed them into the swaddling clothes of the two babies.
The longevity lock was prepared before they came.
Mu Ping is a doctor, and he estimated that little Wang would give birth before the year, so he prepared a meeting gift for the two children in advance.
Mu Qiqi played with the baby for a while, then she and Jiang Zhiyue held hands and left the main room, returning to Jiang Zhiyue's own room.
Jiang Zhiyue looked at Mu Qiqi beside her and asked her how her life was in Mu Mansion.
Mu Qiqi smiled without showing her teeth, unlike Jiang Zhiyue's lively and public temperament.
She replied: "I am living very well. My uncle and aunt are all very good."
Once inside the house, the cold wind was blocked outside.
Mu Qiqi saw a pile of papers lying randomly on the table and picked up the top one.
After looking at it twice, Mu Qiqi asked in surprise: "Did you write the content above?"
Jiang Zhiyue smiled and asked, "I told Big Brother and they took turns to write it down. Have you read it too?" Mu Qiqi picked up the next one, which was connected to the content on the page just now.
She nodded and replied: "I have seen it. My cousin Yongming likes to read these things. He asked the boy in the mansion to buy them. He was afraid that I would be bored in the mansion, so he brought two copies for me."
She said with admiration: "The content is indeed very well written. I didn't expect it to be written by someone I know."
Jiang Zhiyue smiled sheepishly. In fact, she had the right time, place and people.
Because she grew up in the 23rd century, which was hundreds of years later than this era, she has come into contact with many things that are not available here, and it will be more attractive when she takes them out.
Mu Qiqi said as she took the next page and read on. She felt very happy that she could know the follow-up one step ahead of everyone else.
She said while reading: "The reputation of this story book is not small. In just a few days, a newly opened bookshop has been brought to life. Even many women in Luo City know the contents of this story book very well."
Bookshop?
Jiang Zhiyue asked: "Don't you want to come to the bookstore?"
Mu Qiqi moved her eyes from the paper full of fonts to Jiang Zhiyue, and replied: "This is it. This bookstore suddenly appeared in the most prosperous place in Luo City. Who would have thought that it would become famous by relying on the storybook?
.'
As if remembering something, she said funny: "To be honest, many literati don't like things like story books. They feel that the person who wrote this thing has insulted the character of the literati, so after the story book became popular, he would just go into a teahouse and
You can hear some self-proclaimed arrogant literati criticizing the person who wrote this story."
Mu Qiqi suddenly paused, and then she straightened her back and raised one hand, specifically looking at the way those scholars looked when they were criticizing.
"Hmph, it is really disgraceful to us scholars. Han Chuang has been studying hard for ten years and actually wrote such a book of love and love. If I, Li, see him
Naturally, these people have not read the content of the storybook. They only think that the storybook is mostly about love and love, so they directly start criticizing it with words and writings.
Mu Qiqi parroted the words, and Jiang Zhiyue laughed repeatedly.
