Nongmen Shenjue

After all, Mu Qingyan kept the matter of the sixth wife in his heart, so he called the brothers Gao Chun and Gao Dong early in the morning, and asked them to go to the county town and go directly to the yamen to find Mu Lin.Mu Lin is a fast catcher, and he knows people in the county well. If you want to find out what Liu Po ​​said, Mu Lin is more convenient.

"Go and ask Mu Wen for fifty dollars." In the future, the family will raise more people, and they will have to open another account. However, let Mu Wen take care of it for the time being. Mu Wen is quite shrewd when it comes to spending money.

It was almost noon when Gao Chun came back.

"Second Master, the uncle said that the case happened in He County, and it was under the jurisdiction of He County. He knew the herbal medicine shop where the sixth wife's son was, and it is still in the county, which is the Liuji Herbal Medicine Store. The uncle said, this matter Will help to inquire."

"En." Mu Qingyan nodded.It was originally an uncertain thing, and it was a few years ago, so I was not in a hurry.

Five or six days later, Wang Jiang's work was completed.

The original budget was to build three main rooms and one side room. Later, I bought a few servants. Feeling that the house was a bit tight, Wang Jiang asked Wang Jiang to add another room next to the right side room.

There are two rooms in the restaurant, the brothers from the Gao family and the old couple from the He family live in one each, He Shun, Su Niang and Lian Xin share a wing room each, and the brothers Mu Wen and Mu Wu live in the west room of the main room.The other two rooms happen to be one bright and one dark, the easternmost one is used as a bedroom, and the bright room is used as a small hall.As for the study or something, it is enough for him to set aside a corner in the bedroom.

The layout of the bedroom was made by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the He family. After all, they are servants in the salt merchant, and Mu Qingyan is not short of money. Although the furnishings are not luxurious, they are absolutely elegant and comfortable.

Mu Wan took Mu Xiu to see the new house, and nodded repeatedly: "This house is really beautiful. Second brother, the servants from this big family are different. They are dexterous and know a lot. When the time comes to decorate the new house, you can borrow the servants." Use it for me."

These few days the He family lived in the village, and Mu Wan got along well with them, but she was not as reserved at first.

"What's the matter, if the elder sister needs it, just say it."

"Second brother, which day do you want to serve wine?" Mu Wan asked.

Mu Qingyan knew what she meant, if someone built a new house, even if it was just adding a new house, they should invite relatives and friends to celebrate.However, he shook his head: "I won't invite you, it's too troublesome."

Mu Wan didn't feel very good: "Everyone knows that you are building a house here. If you don't invite wine, you will inevitably invite people to talk about it."

"I'm still afraid that others will think that I have too many things. Didn't our family just invite housewarming wine?" Mu Qingyan said with a smile.

Mu Wan also smiled when she heard that: "That's true. Then don't invite, so as to save some people from gossiping, as if they got rich by collecting a little gift money."

Before the new houses in the village were built, and just after guests were invited, the visitors had to give courtesy to them when they ate and drank, which was too frequent and not very good.

"Someone gossiping?" Mu Qingyan asked casually.

"Isn't that right. Our family is doing well, and we get up too fast, so it's inevitable that people will be jealous." Mu Wan mentioned it, but didn't go into details, and didn't want to bother him with trivial matters.Instead, he mentioned another thing: "By the way, sister Ma Guihua, you still remember, Ma Hehua."

"Well, I'll see you on the night of the [-]th. She's here to light the river lantern." Mu Qingyan nodded.

"This girl's happy event has come!" Mu Wan sipped tea and said to him with a smile: "The Ma family was so worried about her before, and Ma Guihua even went around to help her find out. This girl is just unlucky." Well, I talked about two marriages at the beginning, and my reputation was exhausted, but fortunately, good people are rewarded, there is an old woman in their village who likes horse lotus, she somehow got connected with her, and the person she talked about is still in Fucheng."

"From Jinhe Mansion?"

"Isn't that right!" Mu Wan's eyes sparkled, her face was full of excitement: "I heard that the family in Fucheng opened a breakfast shop, and the business is booming. There are only four people in the family, an old couple, a son and a daughter. Then My daughter is married, and my son is 20 years old. He is in good health and looks good. He gets up early every day and works hard. , it was also because the woman died of illness, not because he couldn’t talk about other marriages, but because he couldn’t turn around by himself. Later, he didn’t know how to go around, and a red thread was brought here, and the family even came to see each other in person. I am very satisfied with Ma Hehua, and I sent a matchmaker to come to the door."

"This is a good thing." Mu Qingyan listened, but felt that the matter was not that simple.But after all, it is someone else's business. The Ma family loves their daughter so much, so they must inquire carefully. Since they agreed, they must think it is appropriate.

Mu Qingyan looked at Mu Wan and felt that she was very happy today.

Or, it should be said that since returning from Guanglin Mansion, all the Mu Wan he saw were very happy.So, it was because the matter with Zhao He had been settled, she finally had a peace of mind, and she felt relieved.

In the evening, Mu Wan took Mu Xiu back home.

"Second brother, shall I help you move things?" Mu Wen suddenly asked.

He lived at Wen Jixue's place before, and he hasn't packed his things yet.

"No need." Mu Qingyan waved his hand and walked towards the inn.

Wen Jixue was sitting in the study reading a book, and when she saw him coming in, she pointed to the tea bowl on the table: "Taste the freshly brewed tea?"

"I just had tea, I'll pack up." Mu Qingyan walked towards the bedroom.

Wen Jixue's eyes kept chasing him: "The new house smells bad, how about letting it hang out for a few more days?"

Indeed, among other things, all kinds of furniture are newly made, and they are placed together in the house, and the smell is a bit strong.Furthermore, the house is newly built, and it also has a smell.

"It's not a big problem." Mu Qingyan thought so in his heart, but said so on his mouth.

"Wait a few more days, why are you in a hurry, I think my side is cleaner." Wen Jixue said again.

Mu Qingyan sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, seemed to think about it seriously, nodded and said: "Okay."

The corner of Wen Jixue's mouth curled up quickly, and she covered it with a book in a concealed manner.

When the days were free, the two of them didn't mention moving again after Mu Qingyan moved in.

On the contrary, Mu Wen and Mu Wu asked twice, and Mu Qingyan found an excuse to get rid of it.

Because of the free time, Gao Chun and Gao Dong were sent to Chen Shiliu's place by him, mainly for the two of them to exercise and get familiar with the investigation of cases.Chen Shiliu didn't need to worry about salary, but just a lunch.For the members of the He family, he intends to send the old couple out to take care of the fields. He still has 35 mu of paddy fields in his hands. Mu Lin is busy with errands in the yamen, so it is impossible for him to take care of them all the time.

He is still more interested in buying mountains than buying land.

He doesn't point to farming to get rich, as long as there is enough food to eat.Even buying the land originally was to conform to the general thinking of the world, and it was also for the hearts of Anmu's family.If there is a mountain of his own, he plans to build a mountain villa, which will be an excellent place for health preservation.

Counting the money in hand, at least 800 taels, this is a lot of money, but it is still not enough to buy mountains and build houses.

Not in a hurry anyway.

On this day, a rare visitor came to the shop, Mr. Ge Ge Dafu, not only him, but also Sun Maozhe by his side.

"Master Ge, what brought you here?" Now because of Qing'e's relationship, the Mu family and the Ge family have a closer relationship.Ge Dafu's preferential treatment to Qing'e was because of Miss Ge, and more because of Mu Qingyan.

Ge Dafu laughed and said, "Second Master Mu, I have heard that you solved the case of the beautiful girl in the blue dress in Guanglin Mansion. It's really amazing! If it wasn't for Master Mu who took the initiative in such a big suspicious case, I don't know how it would have been solved." How many people will die in vain."

"Uncle Ge, thank you."

At this time, Sun Maozhe handed over a red post, and his elegant face could not hide his joy: "Miss Ge and I will get married at the end of the month, and I hope that Mr. Mu will honor him and attend."

"It turns out that a happy event is coming. Congratulations to Mr. Ge and Mr. Sun."

Regarding the marriage between Miss Ge and Sun Maozhe, the outside world has long speculated. Although Ge Dafu has never given a definitive statement, his attitude has softened a lot.I don't know how the two families discussed it. The ceremony was held in June. I thought the marriage would not be until the end of the year, but unexpectedly it was scheduled for the end of August.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, I'm going to drink your eldest brother's wedding wine in October." Ge Dafu didn't rush to leave after finishing his business, but he was a little embarrassed: "I don't want to hide this from Second Young Master Mu. There is one more thing. I heard that the second son is very good at cooking. I want to taste it. I don’t know..."

"What's the matter, as long as Uncle Ge doesn't think the small shop is crude. Please sit down, what would Master Ge want to eat?" Mu Qingyan didn't try to find out the other party's real intentions, and just entertained him as a guest.

Ge Dafu hurriedly said: "No trouble, Second Young Master can do both."

Although he knew that Mu Qingyan ran a restaurant and often cooked there, but after hearing about Mu Qingyan's various deeds and seeing his demeanor with his own eyes, it was really difficult for Ge Dafu to regard him as the head of a restaurant.Especially Ge Dafu intends to make friends, but now he asks him to cook, which is really inappropriate.

The reason for this is also the curiosity of being hooked, wanting to try the authenticity.

With Mu Wu helping, Mu Qingyan made three simple home-cooked dishes, and Su Niang brought them up.

Ge Dafu glanced at Su Niang, but he knew that this was a servant bought by Mu Qingyan, and because of this, he felt even weirder.From the outside, this restaurant is really very ordinary, just like those people who earn a few copper coins in the dark every day, but in fact, this restaurant is not only unusual for the shopkeeper, he also has several servants .

Ge Dafu felt that he really couldn't understand this "Mu Shenduan".

However, when I tried to take a bite of the ordinary-looking home-cooked food, I immediately noticed the difference.Ge Dafu's nickname is Ge Dayouqian. Even if he dare not say that he ate all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, he has tasted all kinds of delicacies, but there is no one food that gives him such a feeling.

"Second Young Master's skill is really amazing!" Ge Dafu felt relieved from the bottom of his heart, and his body became lighter. He felt a little stuffy in the past two days, but now he can't feel it at all.Of course, he didn't think that food could cure diseases, but that food could relieve worries.

Before leaving, Ge Dafu was still quite reluctant.
