Nongmen Shenjue

There are four brothers in the Shen family, Shen Youyun is the eldest son, his parents are gone, and he himself doesn't like to manage the family business, so his wife Qu's takes care of the family affairs.The second brother, Shen Fuli, was not sociable. He liked to make wine since he was a child, and he and the third brother, Shen Zhanjie, were in charge of the winery.The fourth son, Shen Guangji, is a standard dude because he is the youngest and relies on his family's wealth.These four people are all married, each has children, and they have never separated from each other. Including servants and maidservants, they also have a large population.

Now that there is an accident in the old house, the government is inquiring, and the hearts of the family are fluctuating. It is inevitable that the ghosts and ghosts will act secretly.

This day, she was interrogated again by the government, and the three women from the Shen family got together to see Mrs. Qu.

Of the four daughter-in-laws in the Shen family, only Qu's family background is the lowest, and her natal family has no one to rely on, so she is the eldest, and has been crushing the other three who are ready to move for many years.At the beginning, some people were not convinced, and felt that Shen Youyun was away from home all year round and wanted to plot against Qu Shi, but in the end, stealing chickens was not enough to lose money, and gradually they could only settle down.

Now is an opportunity, how can I let it go.

"Sister-in-law." Although the attitude of the three people was respectful, there were considerations in their eyes.

Qu's family turns [-] this year, she is as dignified and beautiful as before, plus she has been in charge of the Shen family for many years, her words and deeds have a certain power.With a smile on her face, she lightly glanced at the three of them, causing the three of them to lower their eyes unconsciously, guilty of not daring to look at her.

Qu smiled and said, "Why are you all here together? What are you doing standing, sit down."

The second sister-in-law, Jiang Shi, usually doesn't like to be troublesome, and has the most harmonious relationship with Qu Shi, but today she was urged to do nothing by the other two.To say that the Jiang family has no objection to the head of the Qu family, the elders and younger are orderly, as has been the case since ancient times.The Jiang family just felt that the eldest master Shen Youyun was out all year round, and his second master only knew how to keep his head down, so it was inevitable that he felt aggrieved. However, the Qu family was generous, and the bonuses given to them by the second wife every year were top-notch.

Therefore, Jiang smiled and said: "I was planning to urge Brother Xing to take a nap, but the two of them came to see me and insisted that I come to see my sister-in-law together. I don't know what's important."

With one sentence, Jiang pushed the other two people out, and left himself clean.

Xu and Tang secretly gritted their teeth and scolded Jiang for being cunning.

Mrs. Xu took a look, and didn't count on Mrs. Tang, and said directly: "Sister-in-law, the government has been running to the house these two days, and the bones were dug up in the old house before. This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the city. I have everything, but I dare not go out. If you want me to say that such a big event happened at home, the old man should come back. Anyway, that small courtyard is where the old man reads and paints. It is a secret room , we don’t know which room we belong to. I naturally believe in the old man, but he has to come back and make it clear.”

Tang hurriedly chimed in: "Third sister-in-law is right, the government keeps urging her to ask, but the old man always doesn't show up, which is not good."

Qu's expression remained unchanged, until they finished speaking, and then he sighed: "Why don't I know, but you all know the temperament of the elder, if he has a temper, who knows where he went. He always sends back Xiner, where can I find him? The last time he sent a letter was years ago, he only said that he would not return after the New Year, who knows where he is now. The government also asked the elder, and I said the same. "

"My lord, this is too..." Mrs. Xu is quite straight-tempered, but it's not easy to talk about her uncle face to face.

Tang Shi was just in his early twenties, and he loved to dress up. He looked very pretty, looked up at Qu Shi's complexion, and asked tentatively: "It's strange to say, well done, how could there be bones in the secret room? There used to be someone in our family Missing?"

Qu Shi didn't seem to know the other party's careful thinking, so he just said as usual: "If someone is really lost, what a big deal it is, but you don't know, your second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law don't know? Besides, slaves are also family members, really Someone is missing, can you find it at home?"

This made sense, and even the two who wanted to find fault couldn't find fault.

Mrs. Xu coughed twice: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the government has been investigating near the old house for the past few days, and it is said that our Shen family killed someone and hid the bones. The reason why the government is so polite now is because of the bones. The time of his death has not been found out, if it is found out, I am afraid that he will be directly locked up."

As for who is locked, everyone knows it well.

Qu's brows also added a bit of worry: "It's a disaster that can't be avoided. The matter has come to this, so what can be done. The old man is a bit of a man, but if he said that he killed people, I don't believe it."

The other three are also unimaginable, but they don't care, they just think that if Shen Youyun is really arrested by the government, then the Shen family will be powerful...

After the three of them left, Qu's face turned cold.

The maid Yuqiu was very worried: "Madam, although they are calculating, they are reasonable. Now that something happened in the old house, it will be very unfavorable to the old man. What if..."

Qu Shi was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "The government said that the corpse in the secret room is a woman."

"Exactly, I thought about it carefully in private, but I don't remember anyone missing at home. Could it be someone brought back by the elder?" The place where the accident happened was too secretive, and Yu Qiu had to doubt Shen Youyun.

"How sentimental he is!" Qu said coldly, but his eyes couldn't hide his mockery: "I'm not a god of Daluo, so I can control him for the rest of his life. Just wait until the county government releases news."

"Mother, mother, give me a hug." Suddenly a little man ran out of the room, only wearing red silk clothes, stepped on the ground with bare feet, and threw himself into Qu's arms while crying.

Qu Shi hugged the little man in his arms, and his expression softened a bit: "Why are you awake? Dreaming? Don't be afraid, mother will not be afraid if you hold her."

Yu Qiu looked at her and coaxed her softly, but her gaze on the little man was very complicated.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the month, and Chen Shiliu was following the Shen family's affairs in circles, but suddenly received a post from Mu Qingyan.I was surprised to see the post.

"Housewarming? Brother Mu wants to move? What's going on?" Chen Shiliu was at a loss, completely confused.

Gao Chundao: "Young Master Wen bought a mountain behind Qingshan Village, Second Master built a house in the mountain, and now you can live in it. Second Master does not want to make a big noise, this time apart from the Mu family, he only invited Mr. Chen to have warm house wine."

Chen Shiliu was even more surprised. Buying a mountain and building a house was such a big deal that he only found out today. He kept it a secret.

On the day of warming wine, Chen Shiliu brought congratulatory gifts, followed Gao Chun's words, drove through Qingshan Village, and saw a well-built mountain road.The mountain road is flat and spacious, like a jade belt wrapped around the foot of the green hill, and passes through another mountain. There is a mountain stream in front of you. Now a bridge has been built, and there is a villa with white walls and black tiles halfway up the mountain in front, which is faintly visible under the shade of green trees. .

Quiet villa.

The name was nothing new, but it was apt.

The villa looks quite big, and the front of the gate is well repaired. Now there is an ox cart parked, it should be that the Mu family has arrived.The door was open, He Shun was waiting at the door, and led Chen Shiliu in.Chen Shiliu was born in a wealthy family, and he has seen many gardens since he was a child. The villa in front of him may not look impressive at first glance, but after a closer look, it is quite natural.

The villa also has a garden, not on the edge, but in the middle of the villa, where all the large and small houses radiate from the garden.A garden without a courtyard wall, or with trees as a wall, or a flower fence as a partition, or with a broken canal, are all natural and interesting.If a person enjoys the scenery and strolls in the garden, he may not pay attention, and he has already arrived at a certain courtyard when he raises his eyes.

Today, the housewarming wine is placed in the four-corner pavilion in the garden.

There are only a few maids here, all of whom are newcomers who have just been bought.There are tea, wine and fruit on the table.

"Where are people?" Chen Shiliu asked.

He Shun said: "Second Master is accompanying Uncle and others to visit the villa, so he should be here soon."

Mu Qingyan sent Gao Chun and Gao Dong to pick up the Mu family in person.Someone built a house in the mountain behind the village, and the Mu family knew about it. They thought that a wealthy family built another courtyard, but today they found out that it was actually Mu Qingyan.Of course, it's not all his.Mu Qingyan said to everyone that Wen Jixue bought the mountain and he built the house.

Mu Lin looked around the villa, couldn't help but make rough calculations, and said, "Second brother, this villa is too expensive."

Mu Lin is different from other members of the Mu family. He can see the difference in Zhuangzi. It is not as simple as just buying materials to build a house.For example, the layout of the villa, the garden map must be drawn by a special person, and the pen fee alone may cost two or three hundred taels of silver.The materials used in the villa are all high-quality, and the cost of such a large project is definitely not low.

"Second brother, you really want to build a house in the mountains, why not buy a mountain yourself." Although Mu Lin felt that spending money was like running water, he could see it after all, after all, Mu Qingyan could make money, so he should enjoy it better.He was just worried about the fact that the villa was built on the mountain where Wen Jixue was heard.

He could see that the two had a good relationship, but the brothers still knew how to settle accounts. If there was a conflict someday, or if the two started their own families, it would be a trouble.

Mu Qingyan had already said: "Where is it so easy to buy a mountain? Wen Jixue spent a lot of effort to buy it at a high price. He said he would transfer it to me, but I don't have that much money right now, so wait a few years before we can talk about it."

"So that's the case, but it is true." Mu Lin nodded.

These remarks are also a foreshadowing, and the Mu family will not be suspicious when Wen Jixue lives in the villa in the future.After all, Wen Jixue can be regarded as contributing to the villa, she doesn't care about gain or loss of money, she values ​​affection, and is able to win the favor of others.Once the Mu family accepted him as Mu Qingyan's friend, it would be a matter of course for him to move in.

As for disclosing his relationship with Wen Jixue, there is no such plan in the short term.

During the housewarming, Chen Shiliu frequently toasted. Except for the pregnant Qing'e and the young Mu Xiu, everyone drank more or less.Mu Qingyan had a low drinking capacity, so Chen Shiliu used an excuse to complain that he had concealed the news and fined him three drinks.Mu Lin was so happy that he also drank him two glasses, and even Mu Wan had a drink with him.

Wen Jixue just sat on the side with a smile and didn't follow suit.

Mu Qingyan's face was flushed, and the water in his eyes was flowing, obviously drunk.

"Brother, don't rush away. Since you are here, stay here for one night." Mu Qingyan said.

Mu Lin smiled and said: "I would like to live, but unfortunately I don't have the time. Recently, I have been busy with the case of the Shen family's old house. County Captain Lu entrusted this matter to me, but I have no clue. Second brother, Brother is going to ask you for help."

Chen Shiliu laughed loudly, patted Mu Lin on the shoulder and said, "Your County Captain Lu is cunning enough to give you this difficult case on purpose, obviously to borrow Brother Mu's help. For the sake of the reward and for your future, Brother Mu has no choice but to help."

Mu Lin hurriedly said: "Lieutenant Lu is not that kind of person."

Mu Qingyan smiled: "How much did the county government find?"
