The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

"What's for lunch?" Shen Ling took the bucket back to the kitchen, came out and asked Han Shi, smiling.

"It's all right! I'll cook whatever you want!" Han Shi walked towards the kitchen.

Shen Ling stretched out her hand to stop her, "If you're pregnant, rest."

"But..." Han Shi still wanted to say something, but Shen Ling shook his head, "I have to rest, I can take a few steps to move around, but I can't work. Speaking of which, I will hire two maids to take care of you when you arrive in Cheng County. You don’t need to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation yourself.”

Han Shi blushed and lowered his head, and said nah-na: "Isn't this not good! The Shuang'er in the village can work till they die."

"We are rich, why do we still need you to work?" Shen Ling said softly: "Didn't I just say it before, and when I have money, I will buy you ginseng and eat it when you give birth. Want to eat it?" Eat as much as you want, and you still need two servants?"

Han Shi blushed even more, and couldn't help getting closer to Shen Ling, he really liked Shen Ling!Shen Ling stopped Han Shi's shoulder, but didn't dare to use too much force for fear of squeezing Han Shi's stomach.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Mu Hongyuan came in and saw this scene, coughed several times before interrupting Shen Ling and the others.

Shen Ling's complexion is not good, don't you know how to hide when you see someone being intimate?What does it mean to interrupt others even if you have to come in? Is there any important thing worth doing.

Han Shi had already entered the room in shame, and refused to come out to say hello to Mu Hongyuan. Shen Ling watched Han Shi enter the room before turning around to look at Mu Hongyuan, "What's the matter?"

"I said little brother! I found that your attitude towards me is getting worse and worse recently, especially after getting to know you, you can beat and scold me whenever you want, and you also use your tenderness a little Get some on me!"

"Gentle? Have I ever been gentle? I've never been gentle to outsiders." Shen Ling raised her eyebrows.

"But you to Han Shi..."

"He's my wife!"

"Then you to strangers..."

"He is a stranger!"

Mu Hongyuan was a little speechless, "So I'm the most unlucky, right?"

"Well." Shen Ling nodded, "Who made us too familiar? I don't need to put on a show in front of you, right? Or, do you like the old time when I called you Mr. Mu?"

Mu Hongyuan quickly raised his hand to refuse, "Don't! It's a relationship that I got into with great difficulty, I still like the way it is now."

Shen Ling thought about it, and felt that it was really not good for him to be like this, so he said: "I will try my best not to bully you in the future, and besides, I have never hit you before!"

"You always hit me with your eyes..." Mu Hongyuan looked sad.

Shen Ling nodded, "Then I will try to control my eyes from now on."

Mu Hongyuan: ...

"Come to see me for something?" Shen Ling went to the kitchen to get the wine set, it was a lotus leaf wine glass of Bifang wine, and there were two jars of Bifang wine in the kitchen, which were brought by the steward for Shen Ling to drink.

"Have a drink." Shen Ling smiled and put the wine utensils on the stone bench in the yard, went back to the kitchen to get the wine jar, took the wine jug, the utensils for scooping wine, scooped the wine pulp into the open wine jug, and Shen Ling Ling smiled and poured the wine glass slowly.

"Good lotus leaf dew, you made it look like you are going to do three altars." Mu Hongyuan came over and sat down, "But your mind is delicate enough, my father said last time, let me Get him some jars of wine, but where is this wine so good? Brother, you made this wine, tell me what is the connotation of this wine? I can’t taste it at all! But every time I When I asked outside, did you realize the benefits of drinking Bifang wine? Everyone followed suit, and a bunch of gentlemen's wine and lotus poems popped up, and none of them could speak properly."

Shen Ling thought for a while, "I don't know either. The sayings about gentleman's wine are just like lotus leaf dew. They are all made up by me. Don't tell them!"

"Don't worry." Mu Hongyuan became more and more lonely, "It's because I know you too well, and I also know that the gentleman's wine lotus poem is all made up by you to sell wine, so I don't understand, where is this wine? ! The price is so expensive, it hurts me to see it."

Shen Ling raised his head. He knew that Mu Hongyuan had such a temperament, so he would say something to him like this, and he didn't care that he sold the wine. He still admired Mu Hongyuan's slightly upright son-in-law temperament. , there are already too many complicated people in this world, it would be nice to have two more pure and sincere ones.

Shen Ling said: "That's true. I don't understand. In fact, Bifang wine was not very easy to sell at the beginning. It's not because Mr. Fu admired this wine and sent it to the palace. It won the emperor's favor, and everyone followed suit. .”

"Then what do you think Mr. Fu and the emperor like this wine? My father also said that this wine is good last time. It doesn't look like he is following the trend. He really likes it! He also said that he wants me to make a few more jars at home. Now I have a drink after eating every day, and I can’t do without it.”

Shen Ling was also puzzled, does this wine really have any special benefits?Shen Ling picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and took a sip. It was just cool and refreshing, drinking it like a drink.

"Forget it, let's not mention this wine. You know that General Wei came to Huaizhou, right? He also lived in the county government."

"I know." Shen Ling nodded.

"My father asked me to ask you, why is he here?"

"Ahem..." Shen Ling choked violently.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I just didn't expect you to ask so directly." Shen Ling shook her head, suddenly couldn't help laughing, and quickly stopped it.

Mu Hongyuan was speechless, "Did I beat you in circles, or did I beat you? I'm not stupid, okay! I'll ask directly, maybe you can tell me, I'm afraid I'll ask for some news If you don’t come out, you will be kicked out instead.”

"Understand me." Shen Ling patted Mu Hongyuan on the shoulder, approvingly said: "If you insist on speaking so clearly, I really don't know how to answer you for a while."

"Let's be honest, there is nothing difficult to answer." Mu Hongyuan said.

Shen Ling hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm a lazy person, and I don't have any ambitions. I just want to do my business well, and I don't want to be an official or butcher, and I don't want to get involved in court struggles. The Mu family About the matter with the Wei family, Wei Jing told me a little bit, and I said I didn't know at all, and you wouldn't believe me, would you?"

Mu Hongyuan nodded.

Shen Ling continued: "Wei Jing and I did call each other brothers and sisters in Cheng County for a while. At that time, he told me that your Mu family and the Wei family were enemies, and he also hinted that the Mu family let the enemy troops in, but He is implying, if you insist that he said it, there is no evidence at all..."

"Nonsense!" Mu Hongyuan slammed the table and stood up, furious, but the table in Shen Ling's yard was a stone table, and Mu Hongyuan held his hand for a moment and frowned tightly, "Oh... ..."

"My Mu family didn't do that kind of nonsense and have to kill children and grandchildren!" Mu Hongyuan still didn't forget to add in pain.

Shen Ling nodded, "I don't believe it either!"

"In the first place! He, General Wei, is upright and upright, and my Mu family is not bad at all! Letting the enemy into the country is also a slander, and I am not afraid of bad words. How many soldiers have died and how many people have been destroyed in this battle. The whole of Chuzhou has almost been ruined, so Wei Jing can push such a big crime onto my Mu family with just a touch of his lips?! Impossible!"

Shen Ling nodded quickly, and pulled Mu Hongyuan to sit down.

"He came to Huaizhou to investigate this matter?" Mu Hongyuan said angrily.

"No, I only know that he didn't intend to come to Huaizhou at first, and he said he wanted to go back to Chuzhou to help or something. Suddenly, one night passed, and he immediately set off for Huaizhou. I heard it was because of a private matter." Shen Ling didn't want the Mu family to respect Shang Wei in a hurry, so he said.

"Private business?"

Shen Ling nodded, "It's a private matter, I'm sure, otherwise he wouldn't be coming to Huaizhou at this time!"

Mu Hongyuan thought for a while, "Do you know what is a private matter?"

Shen Ling shook his head, "Since it's a private matter, how would I know?"

Mu Hongyuan sighed and sat silently.After a long time, Mu Hongyuan murmured: "Impossible, right?"

"Eh?" Shen Ling was taken aback, puzzled.

"How could someone let the enemy troops into the country? Right?" Mu Hongyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Shen Ling. Guangming, my family has been passed down for more than four generations, a scholarly family, and a family of officials and officials, do I need to do that kind of thing?"

Shen Ling didn't know how to answer. In fact, he believed in Wei Jing more in this matter, and Mu Hongyuan was also a little puzzled!Even if it was an instinctive rebuttal at the beginning, but after turning around in my mind twice, I couldn't help but start to doubt, so I asked this question.

"Brother, tell me, do you trust me, the Mu family or Wei Jing?" Mu Hongyuan grabbed Shen Ling's arm.

Shen Ling paused, "If I have to choose between Wei Jing and you, I will definitely support you." His relationship with Wei Jing is not that good yet.

Mu Hongyuan smiled, as if he was relieved, but the worry in the depths of his eyes did not subside in the slightest, "That's right! I'm going back to the capital to study, and my father finally can't stand me being ignorant at home. Let me go to Beijing."

Shen Ling nodded, "Go! It should."

"Send me off! I want the Baihua wine you brew soon!" Mu Hongyuan stood up and laughed. This is a kind of wine in the book "The Story of Flowers" written by Shen Ling. He has been interested in the brewing of hundreds of flowers for a long time, and he also secretly inquired about it. He knew that Shen Ling's Baihua wine had been brewed and was about to be released from the cellar. He must drink it to the first jar.

Shen Ling shook his head helplessly, "Your ears are too sharp!"

"That's it, I'm waiting for your wine!"

"Okay." Shen Ling nodded. "It just so happens that I'm leaving too. No matter how well it's brewed, let's dry it first and then talk about it."

"Are you going to take Han Shi to live in Cheng County? What's wrong with Huaizhou?" Mu Hongyuan said.

Shen Ling paused, "Next, I will spend more time in Chengxian County. All the wine I can remember has been brewed by the people in the wine shop. My next focus should be on porcelain. You can also see It’s here, in fact, my thoughts on porcelain are no less than wine making.” Shen Ling held up the lotus leaf wine glass for Mu Hongyuan to see.

Mu Hongyuan nodded, "You tell me, I'll believe it."

The wine glass raised by Shen Ling trembled slightly, and the wine syrup made a circle of water.

Mu Hongyuan laughed, "Brother Shen, you are my brother, of course I believe you."

Shen Ling originally wanted to say that we are brothers just like what he said to Mu Wu at the beginning, but for some reason, he couldn't say a word, but it was stuck in his throat, and he could only smile.

After sending Mu Hongyuan away, Han Shi came out of the room with a serious expression on his face, and said to Shen Ling, "Actually, I seem to have heard about the war at Mu's house."

"Oh? Who told you that?" Shen Ling laughed, but didn't care.

"It's the third son. The third son once went to the study to deliver food to Mr. Mu. He heard someone in the study say that he would only fight in Chuzhou, and he said that he needed to get tea from an iron utensil. Before the third master finished listening, he was told The people inside found out, and Lord Mu even scolded the third young master, which made the third young master very angry!"

Shen Ling restrained her smile, pressed Han Shi's shoulder, "This matter is never mentioned again, you understand?"

"Yeah." Han Shi bit his lip and nodded.

"Little Stone, let's go to Cheng County, the sooner the better, okay?" Shen Ling said warmly.

"Okay, but what about the third son and the others?" Han Shi raised his head, "Will something bad happen?" Han Shi looked worried, but in fact Han Shi was also very sensitive about certain things, although only a few words , but he has already noticed something is wrong.

Shen Ling paused, "Mu's family is protected by Mr. Fu and has a deep foundation. It's no problem. We left not to avoid disasters, but to raise your baby well. I don't want to get involved in these turmoil either. It has nothing to do with the Mu family, and nothing will happen to the Mu family, understand?"

Han Shi nodded.
