Nongmen Shenjue

Mu Lin's office was busy with errands, and Mu Qingyan also didn't stay in the village for long, leaving one after another after lunch.

Mu Wan came out of the house after Mrs. Jin left. After all, she was not a coward, she turned around after being ashamed for a while.But because she was discussing marriage with Zhao's family, and the two are close neighbors, she almost never went out, and even if she went out, she would not pass through the Zhao's house on a detour.Even so, there were many discussions in the village, some were joking, and some were jealous with pantothenic acid.

Mu Wan didn't care how jealous outsiders were, so she brought a pair of newly made shoes to Mu Qingyan, and couldn't help muttering: "It's okay, big brother, there are people watching in your shop, why bother to go back? The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days , it’s better to stay at home for two more days.”

"There's something wrong." Mu Qingyan vaguely gave a reason.

Mu Wan also knew that he was old now and had his own business to do, so he couldn't see anyone for ten and a half months.At the beginning, she was really not used to it. She was always worried that he was cold and sick, and she was afraid that too much nagging would disturb him. Fortunately, as time went by, seeing that he was doing well, she gradually adjusted her mentality. .

When Mu Qingyan left home, he happened to meet Zhao He.

Zhao He stood with a few young people in the village, and a few steps away there were a few aunts and aunts.Most of the villagers have worked in the fields all their lives, and the farthest place they can go is the county town, which is because the county town is very close.Everyone is curious about the outside world, especially young people. When they see Zhao He coming back from outside, they naturally come to ask about new things.

Zhao He ran darts with the escort agency. The village may not know how much money he earns, but in the eyes of outsiders, he must be very profitable, otherwise he would not have traveled so far to suffer.

Zhao He is only nineteen this year, and he has a tall physique and a handsome appearance. He is a capable person in the eyes of the villagers!The Zhao family consisted of two brothers. The elder brother, Zhao Shan, was already married and had a job in the county. The Zhao family was in good health, had a house and land, and was easy to get along with.

Not only in Qingshan Village, but also in the surrounding villages, I don't know how many families with daughters are attracted.There were also people who made peace in secret, but the Zhao family found an excuse and declined. Now that the Zhao family asks Mu Wan to be their daughter-in-law, it is not surprising to outsiders, and the jealousy can't be stopped.

"Qingyan!" Zhao He saw Mu Qingyan at a glance, and was taken aback before he dared to recognize him.

Being close neighbors for many years and growing up together since childhood, it's not that he can't recognize him, but at first glance, that young man with a clear temperament seems like a son of a family, and he really dare not recognize him for a while.Zhao He only came home yesterday, but he already knew the changes in the Mu family from the letters from his family earlier, but no matter how many words he said, he was not as surprised as seeing it with his own eyes.

Zhao He stepped forward a few times, looked him up and down, and then patted his shoulder with a smile: "It's different! Sure enough, Shibie will look at him with admiration for three days. I've heard of Mu Shenduan's name."

Mu Qingyan smiled: "Second Brother Zhao is a busy man. Come in and sit down?"

Zhao He looked at the gate of Mu's house, his expression flickered, and he shook his head: "No, I'm going to the county seat in a while."

At this stage, it is not easy for Zhao He to go to Mu's house, but Aunt Zhao has asked him many times.

Mu Qingyan naturally knew it, but he had nothing to say to Zhao He, and after a few casual conversations, he found an excuse to get in the car and left.

The result of the conversation was quite satisfactory. Although Zhao Hehe's temperament in memory had changed, it was much calmer.Although running darts outside is hard work, it has broadened his horizons and insights, which can be seen from Zhao He's words.

The Liulin Ferry at night is particularly peaceful.

The lights reflect the sparkling river water, the willow branches sway, the leisurely ferry boat, the houses on the shore, and groups of coolies.In just a few months, Ferry has undergone some new changes compared to getting along with each other.The county magistrate Zhou Hong pays the most attention to people's livelihood, but he never ignores the big business of taxation, and Natural Ferry attaches great importance to it.Now there are more shops, more people, and naturally more merchant ships.

It's not yet fifteen, but the moon will be full and bright.

A few large lanterns are hung in the courtyard, and the tables are placed directly in the courtyard. There are half and half meat and vegetable dishes, as well as soups and fruits.There is also a jug of good wine, and the two white porcelain cups have been filled with wine.

"Taste." Wen Jixue took a piece of duck meat for him.

The dish in the middle is today's protagonist, sweet-scented osmanthus duck.Osmanthus duck is not a duck made with sweet-scented osmanthus, but a salted duck made during the mid-autumn season when sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom.

The duck skin is white, the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, the taste is fragrant and fresh, and it is really authentic.

"Aunt Jiang's cooking skills are really good." Mu Qingyan has naturally eaten authentic sweet-scented osmanthus duck. Due to different cooking habits, there are slight differences, but it does not affect its delicious taste.

"Today, a woman named Liupo came to you, met the same village, and sent her back." Wen Jixue mentioned.

"Well, I heard about it." Su Niang said this as soon as he came back.

He told about the sixth wife.

Wen Jixue sipped the wine, her expression still: "It sounds like nothing is wrong. However, in the place of 'Hexian', I remember that the fifth son of the Jin family went to Hexian County. If you really care, you can write to the other party and ask."

"Didn't he just go? Can he know about the case for several years?"

Wen Jixue sneered: "The fifth son of the Jin family is shrewd. Can you believe that he was not prepared earlier? Although it is surprising that he is willing to give up the Jin family, he must have already planned his way out. Besides, he is in the local area, so if he wants to It's much easier to check things."

Mu Qingyan didn't refute these words, but...

"We only have a little intersection with him, and we don't have any friendship."

"If you come and go, you will have friendship."

Mu Qingyan couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.

Seeing his doubts, Wen Jixue smiled and said, "Don't you think you can make friends with the fifth child of the Jin family?"

"It's up to you." Mu Qingyan admitted that the fifth son of the Jin family is a character, but there are many capable people, and Ji Xue didn't care much about it.To say that the fifth child of the Jin family is different from others, the only thing is his sexuality.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan held up his wine glass, hiding the smile on his lips.

Wen Jixue was sitting opposite, even though the wine glass covered the smile at the corner of her mouth, she couldn't hide the brilliance in her eyes.Wen Jixue didn't shy away from it, she just looked at him directly with a smile on her face.

The scorching eyes seemed to be scalding with high temperature.

Mu Qingyan couldn't help lowering his eyes, but turned around and couldn't help looking.

Who made the opposite person be a rare "beauty".

Wen Jixue's eyes were even more radiant, holding a pot to pour wine.

The so-called wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated, and Mu Qingyan is not immune to the vulgarity, and he drank too much without knowing it.Fortunately, I finally remembered the embarrassing incident of getting drunk last time, ordered a bowl of hangover soup, made strong tea, and chatted with Wen Jixue about the local gossip, the moonlight was so beautiful, I fell asleep without knowing it.

No accident, when he woke up the next day, Mu Qingyan was lying on the bed.

He subconsciously looked under his body, and there were no clothes that should not appear.In fact, he suspected that Wen Jixue was deliberately playing a prank last time, so he didn't ask, he just didn't want to be caught making fun of it.

Turning his head to look at the sunlight outside the window, thinking of Wen Jixue, the thoughts in his heart became clearer and clearer.

August is a busy season, at least for the Mu family, it is busy and joyful.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the [-]th day, the Zhao family invited a matchmaker again. This time, the two families agreed to make a deal on the [-]th day of September.

On August 22, the Mu family officially issued a dowry to Qing'e.

After another four days, Miss Ge got married, with a lot of red makeup.

Mu Qingyan accepted the wedding invitation earlier, so he will naturally go to have a wedding wine on this day.

The Ge family is marrying their daughter, and they gave wedding wine, and they don't entertain guests. The Sun family is the bustling one today.Although the Sun family is poor, no matter how poor the family is, they have to make arrangements on the big day, let alone marry Miss Ge's family.Furthermore, if Ge Dafu let his daughter marry, there must be conditions for other conveniences. Fortunately, Sun Maozhe is not stubborn and arrogant. After communicating with his wife, the marriage between the two families is relatively harmonious.

It was only later that Mu Qingyan found out that Ge Dafu had two demands. One was to ask Sun Maozhe to promise that even if he became rich in the future, he would not be allowed to take concubines or maidservants.The second is to ask the Sun family to promise that the daughter's second son will be adopted by the Ge family as heir.

Ge Dafu really loves his daughter, but he can't look down on the Ge family.

This kind of thing, in the eyes of some people, is a fortune from the sky, but it is unacceptable to some people.

The mother and son of the Sun family were reluctant at first, reluctant to have the child alone, and besides, they would be gossiped.Sun's mother is not afraid of being poor, she values ​​her son more, and Sun Maozhe is a good reader, so it may not be impossible to have a greater future in the future.In the end, it was Sun Maozhe who figured it out first, and then persuaded the old lady. In addition, the two families were family friends and knew each other well.

Mu Qingyan and Sun Maozhe had only met each other a few times, so they prepared a congratulatory gift, and went to have a cup of wedding wine, which was considered as a courtesy.

Three days later, the Ge family held a door banquet, and Ge Dafu sent someone to invite him, and Mu Lin was also invited, and the two brothers went together.

Ge Dafu threw a big banquet, there was a lot of traffic in front of the door, and there was an endless stream of guests.

Mu Lin sat at the same table with Chief Cai and others, while Mu Qingyan was dragged to sit at the same table by the owner of Juming Teahouse, Zheng Ming.

"What a coincidence, Young Master Chen has gone back to the capital. Otherwise, he would not have missed today's wedding banquet." Because of Chen Shiliu, Zheng Ming knew him very well, and introduced him to his tablemate after they were seated.

Ge Dafu is a businessman, so the people he associates with are naturally businessmen.

"This is the shopkeeper of Liu Ji Sheng Medicine Shop."

When Mu Qingyan heard this, he couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper Liu.

About fifty years old, silk round neck gown, a jasper hairpin on top of his hair, fair complexion, thick beard hanging down his jaw, and he speaks kindly.Because it is a raw medicine shop, the smell of medicine is lingering on my body.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, taking advantage of no one's attention, I asked Zheng Ming in a low voice: "Master Zheng and Shopkeeper Liu are familiar?"
