The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Outside Mu Hongyuan's room, the old lady Mu was sitting in the yard, wearing a brown-red fur cloak and holding a delicate hand stove in her hand. Seeing Shen Ling coming in, she nodded slightly towards Shen Ling. The yard was brightly lit. The whole courtyard was illuminated like daytime, and there were servants standing all around, with their heads bowed, but they were all silent.

Shen Ling paused, then turned to look at Han Shi, "Why don't you go back first, I'll go alone, it will be very slow."

Seeing the battle in the yard, Han Shi shook his head desperately, curled his lips in aggrieved look, and looked at Shen Ling, what if Shen Ling was bullied inside?How could he go back alone with peace of mind? !

Shen Ling could only turn to Mu Wu, "Please take care of him and remind him to eat when he is eating."

"Yes." Mu Wu's expression became more serious.

"Hi, old lady, it's early in the morning, I'm disturbing your rest." Shen Ling didn't need to guess, but he knew who was sitting in the yard like Lafayette.

The old lady Mu raised a smile, "Mr. Shen is here. I'm fine. I'm getting older, I don't sleep much, and I'm worried about the second boy. Let's take a look. Mr. Shen just do his own thing, don't worry about me, wait for things I'm sure, I will treat Young Master Shen well."

"You're being polite, old lady." Just as Shen Ling was speaking, another group of people came to the door. The one walking in the front was a beautiful middle-aged woman in rich clothes, presumably it should be Mu Hongyuan's mother.

The woman came over and wished the old lady a blessing, "Daughter-in-law has seen mother, mother, you are well."

"It's okay to be uneasy, the second boy is like this now, how can I get better, no, come and have a look early in the morning."

A look of embarrassment flashed across the middle-aged woman's face, but she didn't say anything, she just stood aside quietly, and the old lady didn't say to ask the servants to bring another stool over, she just let her stand, Shen Ling couldn't control it The other party's family affairs, looked at Mu Wu worriedly, Mu Wu nodded slightly, and stood beside Han Shi, and the third son Mu who was not far away suddenly walked towards Han Shi, "Which family are you from?" Why haven’t I met you, I’m Mu Hongjin, the third son of the Mu family.”

Han Shi panicked suddenly, and Mu Wu quickly answered, "Third Young Master, this is Mr. Shen's husband, named Han Shi, with a shy personality."

"Oh." Mu Hongjin nodded, then stood by the side and did not leave. He turned around and said, "I'll accompany you here! I'll take you to dinner later."

"Thank...thank you, Third Young Master." Han Shi nodded and said, very at a loss.

Shen Ling felt that the third son seemed to want to take care of Han Shi, so he ignored it. He took out the white coat from the package and put it on. He also brought a homemade mask, gloves and headgear. And standing, Shen Ling didn't smell anything this time, so he ignored her, pushed the door and was about to go in, when Mrs. Qing suddenly followed her into the threshold.

Shen Ling paused, "What's the matter? You want to come in too?"

"I..." Madam Qing lowered her head weakly, "I'll stay with Second Young Master! If there is anything else, I can help, I..." Madam Qing lowered her head, with a look of deep affection and worry, She can't wait to look like an infatuated woman who is always by her lover's side.

Shen Ling glanced at Mrs. Qing, "Then take off the headgear, wrap up your hair, and come back in clean white clothes."

Madam Qing froze, and before she had time to say anything, the old lady behind her said, "Since it's such a trouble, you can go back and rest! You're tired of taking care of the second boy these days, and it's not bright yet! What can you do?" Go back and sleep for a while, Mr. Shen can be alone, so don't join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qing quickly turned around and saluted respectfully, "Yes."

Shen Ling stepped into the door and closed it casually. Mu Hongyuan's entire room seemed to be wrapped in a white cloth. When Shen Ling entered Mu Hongyuan's bedroom, Mu Hongyuan had already woken up and was staring at the white cloth used to cover the roof. In a daze, seeing Shen Ling coming in, he didn't seem happy, but asked nervously: "Brother! Does it hurt? I dreamed last night that it was very painful when you sewed my wound. I woke up in pain and you knocked me out, does it hurt to remove the stitches?"

"You're dreaming! When did I knock you out?" Shen Ling said softly.

"Really not? I vaguely seem to remember."

"You dream after you faint, and confuse the dream with reality."

That's it!Mu Hongyuan put his mind down for a while, Shen Ling had already taken out a wet towel from the wooden box and covered Mu Hongyuan's mouth and nose, and smiled softly: "Hey, just sleep and you'll be fine."

Mu Hongyuan felt that his whole body suddenly went numb, and his eyelids wanted to close uncontrollably. In the end, only seeing Shen Ling's smiling face, he lost consciousness completely.

Shen Ling squeezed her wrist, took out a series of utensils that Mu Wu put on the table, first untied the clothes on Mu Hongyuan's body, wiped the wound with spirits, then took the small silver scissors, and moved towards Mu Hongyuan go.

After nearly an hour, Mu Wu suddenly shouted in a low voice outside, "Master Shen, Mr. Shen, can you hear me? Do you want something to eat? Do you want to come out first?"

Shen Ling threw a blood-stained white cloth into the basin, turned his head and said, "No need, just give me another hour."

There was no sound outside, Shen Ling continued to carefully remove the surgical thread on Mu Hongyuan's body, and threw it into the basin. Mu Hongyuan's wound healed well, and the layer under the surgical thread was almost glued and healed, but Still can't move too much, or it will still crack.

Shen Ling washed off the strong alcohol on the wound with boiled cold white water, took out the small porcelain bottle in the package, dipped the gauze into the Lingquan, gently applied a layer on the wound, and began to apply the medicine to bandage.

It wasn't until noon that Shen Ling walked out of the room with a tired face. The old lady of the Mu family was still there. Shen Ling looked up at the sky, it was already noon!It really hurts my grandson enough!

"Mr. Shen, how is Yuan'er?" Mrs. Mu was also there, seeing Shen Ling coming out covered in blood, she hurried over to ask.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm a little tired, I want to take a rest, I will change the dressing for Mr. Mu in these two days, don't remove the dust cloth inside."

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Mu nodded quickly.

Han Shi trotted over, and was about to take back the bloody clothes on Shen Ling's body and put them away for washing later. Shen Ling said, "It's okay, just throw it away if you don't want it."

"En." Han Shi replied obediently, and everyone who watched felt very weird. After all, it was really indescribable sense of disobedience for a person dressed in luxurious clothes to serve Shen Ling who was still in coarse clothes next to him.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Mu, Shen Ling went back to his room. Mu Wu had already had the food delivered to his room. After a few mouthfuls, Shen Ling lay down on the bed to rest sullenly.He was woken up before dawn to remove the surgical thread. Even if the lights were on, the room would not be as bright as noon. He felt that his eyes were going to be blind. Why was he in such a hurry?Shen Ling sighed, and used the remaining spiritual spring water in the bottle to apply to his eyes.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Shen Ling got up from the bed to read. He was really about to take the exam. Han Shi sat beside him, playing with Shen Ling's writing brush, and kept by Shen Ling's side by the way.Mu Wu suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and said anxiously: "Master Shen, my son woke up, and he said he was in pain."

After the strength of the anesthetic passed, it would hurt, Shen Ling said: "Then let me go and have a look!"

"Ah."

When Shen Ling arrived at Mu Hongyuan's room, he met Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu and others head-on. This time, it was rare that Mrs. Love was not there, but Mrs. Mu was in the room. Seeing Shen Ling coming, he even beat him up. call.

"Master Futai." Shen Ling cupped his hands.

Mu Futai frowned, and hurriedly waved Shen Ling to look at Mu Hongyuan's wound. Mu Hongyuan was lying on the bed, moaning, and the two wives next to him frowned in distress. After Shen Ling passed, the two gave up their positions.

"May I look at the wound for you?" Shen Ling said.

Seeing Shen Ling coming, Mu Hongyuan hurriedly said: "Brother, I didn't feel any pain at first, but I just felt empty. There were many cuts in my body, and I didn't dare to move. I always felt that if I moved, the cuts would burst. It's the same as before. It felt completely different, but then it got more and more painful, more and more painful."

"You shouldn't dare to move. The wound has just sticked together and grown flesh. What should you do if you move the wound open? As for the pain, I used some anesthetic. After the anesthetic wears off, it will hurt naturally, but I Let's take a look first!"

Shen Ling untied Mu Hongyuan's gauze, Mrs. Mu had already turned around to wipe her tears, and the servants in the room also lowered their heads. The old lady was supported by the maid to stand a little further away, but her cloudy eyes were still fixed on Mu Hongyuan. I don't know if I can see Hongyuan's direction clearly.Shen Ling observed carefully for a while, confirmed that Mu Hongyuan was intact, and tied up the gauze again, "It's okay, take care of it, how can it not hurt when you recover? You just feel this way because you haven't been in such severe pain for a long time. Don't move! Remember, don't move!"

"Then what should I do when I go to the toilet?" Mu Hongyuan asked anxiously.

Shen Ling looked up at him, "Stop moving, try to stay by the bed, just like I used to take care of you."

"Oh." Mu Hongyuan nodded, and Mrs. Mu had already answered, "It's by the bed, anyway, someone is waiting for you."

Mu Futai asked, "Is my son alright?"

"Yes, my lord, as long as you take good care of it, you'll be fine." Shen Ling said respectfully.

"That's good, sir. I heard that you are going to take part in this child's exam? I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?" Mu Futai said gently.

"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern." Shen Ling cupped his hands.

"Who said it's okay, little brother, you clearly promised me to help me get rid of the scar." Mu Hongyuan said loudly.

Shen Ling turned her head back, "To get rid of the scars, at least wait until the wound heals before getting rid of the scars. There's no rush now."

Mu Futai looked at Mu Hongyuan and said, "You take good care of it! Manly man, why do you have some scars on your body?" Mu Hongyuan silently closed his mouth and stopped talking. Mu Futai turned to Shen Ling, " There is a master in my house who has won the Juren and is teaching my third son, if Mr. Shen has any questions, you might as well ask them."

"Thank you, my lord. I don't know who should review the article Shen Ling was thinking about writing!"

Mu Futai nodded, "Since I'm fine, I'll go first, I still have some things to do."

"Congratulations, my lord." A group of people in the room saluted.

Since there is nothing to do, Shen Ling is leaving too. The old lady Mu asked Mu Wu to come out to see someone off, but Shen Ling did not refuse. On the way, Mu Wu kept following Shen Ling, introducing the scenery of the mansion to Shen Ling. Suddenly, Shen Ling Interrupted: "Is there another eldest son in your mansion? I've never seen one before!"

Mu Wu said with a smile: "The eldest son is studying in the Imperial College, and he doesn't come back when he has nothing to do."

"That's it!" Shen Ling nodded, "Your mansion is really full of talents, and the second and third sons are also so outstanding."

Mu Wu nodded, "Yes." But he didn't say much. He is not qualified to judge whether the second son is good or not, but the third son is excellent, but he is a twin and cannot be discussed by outsiders casually. The third son's people talked about him, so they changed their words: "Why don't I send Mr. Shen to see the master, do you know the way?"

"Thank you very much." Shen Ling said casually.

After meeting the master, Shen Ling wrote a few essays for the exam when he went back, showed it to the master, was corrected, and then took it back to rewrite. The Mu family probably passed on a message to the master, so the other party He also did his best to teach, which benefited Shen Ling a lot.

After a few more days, it was the day of the exam. Mu Wu personally sent Shen Ling to the exam room. After getting along with each other these days, Shen Ling gradually discovered Mu Wu's special status in the Mu Mansion, and he was quite independent. What the half-servant meant, please send him to take the exam in person, Shen Ling was really puzzled.

"Mu Wu, you are usually so busy, and there are so many servants in the Mu family, wouldn't it be enough to just find someone to take me off?" Shen Ling sat in the carriage with a basket full of exam supplies beside him, and smiled.

"Mr. Shen, you are polite. You are a distinguished guest of the Mu Mansion, and that is my duty. Of course, I have to pick you up in person." Mu Wu smiled.

Shen Ling didn't say any more until the examination room, when he got off the carriage and was sent into the examination room by Mu Wu, Mu Wu turned around and returned.Shen Ling was a little puzzled, and couldn't figure out why Mu Wu was so active towards him.

Some of the children in the Tongsheng examination were about ten years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old. He remembered that Shen San was awarded Tongsheng when he was about ten years old, which was the first in the whole town in the past century. So I firmly believe that he can pass the exam, but I don't know how he is doing in another exam room?Will it be too much pressure because of the villagers' trust in him? The ancients may not have a concept of these things, but Shen Ling knows that if the pressure is too high, it is easy to perform abnormally during the exam.

The invigilator had already come over to check Shen Ling's pannier, and Shen Ling quickly calmed down and stood aside with his hands tied.

After Mu Wu went back, he went back to Mrs. Mu and said that he saw Shen Ling enter the examination room with his own eyes.Old Madam Mu nodded, her aging eyelids drooping without any elasticity, "You can pick it up after the exam is over, and you can't let Mr. Shen leave our sight for a moment until the second boy is completely fine."

"Yes, don't worry, I have a plan in my heart!" Mu Wu said respectfully.

"Mu Wu! Have the three boys looked for you recently?"

Mu Wu raised his head, "Third Young Master cares about Second Young Master, so he often comes to me to inquire about Shen Young Master's news, nothing else."

Mrs. Mu said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that you are all grown up. When you were young, the third boy chased you and called you brother. After all, you grew up together, but the third boy will gradually become an adult, and you will have to talk about it in the future." In-law marriage, although Shuang'er is not stricter than women's rules, but what should be observed must be followed. After all, the children of our family will all enter the right family in the future, and it is not good to spread bad news. You want Remember, he is the twin, but also the master, understand?"

"Mu Wu understands."

"It's good that you understand, I still like you very much, you are much better than your father, you are doing well from top to bottom, and you have never made any mistakes in the tasks entrusted to you, Magpie, reward Mu Wuyi silver."

"Yes." The woman in red next to her bowed respectfully, turned around and went into Mrs. Mu's bedroom, and took out a piece of silver and handed it to Mu Wu.

Mu Wu squeezed the ten taels of silver in his hand, his joints were a little white due to too much force, but he still knelt down respectfully and said, "Thank you, old lady, for the reward."

"Well, let's go!"

"Yes."

After Mu Wu left, the old lady Mu raised her eyelids, looked at the magpie next to her, and asked, "Where is the so-called love lady?"

The servant girl, Xi Que, smiled and wished Old Madam Mu a blessing, "She said she was grounded because the trick she chose for the wife was not good-looking."

"Well, what kind of madam is a thing who was born as a servant? Could it be possible that she still wants to fly on a branch? The elders are not afraid that this matter will be spread and hinder the future of the second boy. I really don't know what it means."

Magpie said softly: "It's just that the wife is not as far-sighted as the old lady! I still need a lot of teaching from the old lady."

"I'm old! I've been teaching for decades and I still look like this, and I won't be able to teach in the future! Let them do as they are juniors! None of them worry about it. By the way, in a few days, Chen It's my wife's birthday, right? She even sent me a post?"

"That's right! I'm still thinking about reminding the old lady when the time comes in a few days. Since the old lady asks, the servant girl should ask first. Are we just looking for a woman to give gifts? Or is the master coming to the door in person? ?”

"Let the wife go in person! Although the adults of the Chen family are on the same level as the boss, it is more prudent to communicate with each other of the same generation. Besides, it's time for the second boy to find a marriage. You go tell the wife and ask her to inquire about it. There is a good girl, Shuang'er, no matter how good we are, we will not marry."

"Yes." Magpie saluted respectfully, then exited the door.

Mu Wu didn't leave at all, but sat on the railing on the side of the corridor not far away. When the magpie saw it, he simply walked towards him. Mu Wu didn't know where to find an apple and was eating it. The magpie didn't speak when he came over, but just looked at her.

Magpie bowed to Mu Wu, "Housekeeper Mu, the old lady said that Mrs. Chen's birthday is going to be attended by Mrs. Chen in person, and she is also going to find out about the second son's marriage. Hurry up and prepare a suitable congratulatory gift!"

"Understood." Mu Wu said casually, took out an ingot of silver from his arms and threw it to the magpie, and the magpie quickly caught it, "Your reward."

"Thank you, Butler Mu." Magpie laughed and stuffed the money into his sleeve.Mu Wu has been the housekeeper of the Mu family from his ancestors, and even the old man gave him a surname. He is rich and has a high status. Mu Wu doesn't like these ten taels of silver, but a little girl like her does!
