Nongmen Shenjue

Seeing that there was no one in front of him, Mu Lin asked him about his trip.

Mu Qingyan knew what he was worried about, and he spoke carefully.

It took a long time to go out this time, but it has been very smooth and nothing happened.

Mu Lin heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, and thought of Fu Jingchun he mentioned, frowned and said: "I think the second brother's approach is very right, no matter what the eldest son Fu is, after all, his identity is sensitive, so it's better not to contact him for now." He said again: "Second brother, I'm not trying to stop you, but the Yan family's affairs are deeply involved, and it cannot be easily changed by one or two people. You are the only remaining blood of the Yan family's direct line, so don't get involved in any danger."

When the accident happened in the Yan family, Mu Lin was ten years old, and he grew up in the Yan family, so he naturally had a lot of affection for the Yan family.However, he has always been self-aware, and he has no ability, and his parents repeatedly confessed that he never thought of avenging the Yan family by himself. He felt that the way to repay Mu Qingyan was to raise Mu Qingyan and take good care of him.Now she even regards Mu Qingyan as her own younger brother, and she doesn't want him to take risks in private.

"Don't worry, brother, I know." Mu Qingyan was not reckless either.

In fact, thinking about it again, the matter of the Yan family is not the same as that of the Xue family. Although something happened to the Yan family, the family was destroyed not because of the court's conviction, but because of being set in ambush.At that time, the Yan family had all resigned from office, but the behind-the-scenes even did not let go of the Yan family's only way of life. It was too urgent and ruthless, and it was definitely not the emperor's style.

He and Wen Jixue analyzed it privately, and they felt that a certain county king did it.

With such courage and ability to do this, one must be of high authority and status, and the existence of the Yan family seriously hinders the interests of the other party, making the other party want to get rid of the Yan family as soon as possible even if they use the "bad trick".

Back then, the emperor also ordered someone to investigate, but it was more like a formality, and finally nothing happened.

In the emperor's heart, he may not know who is behind the scenes.

Mu Lin hesitated to speak: "That Wen Jixue..."

Originally, the matter of the Yan family was dangerous enough, but compared with the matter of the Xue family, it was far worse, because the nature was completely different.When Mu Lin thought of Wen Jixue's identity, he became entangled in every possible way.

When Mu Lin was a child, he met General Xue. That year, General Xue made a triumphant return and was ordered to return to the capital. The people lined up to welcome him, and the emperor even greeted him personally at the city gate.Mu Lin was only two or three years old. He was carried by his father on the shoulders and squeezed into the side of the street. He watched General Xue pass by on a tall horse. His looks, but that aura and the light and shadow of that day are still firmly imprinted in his mind.Mu Lin admires such a great hero. In fact, there are not many people in the world who do not admire General Xue. Unfortunately...

Ever since he learned that Wen Jixue was from Xue's family, Mu Lin agreed with him a little bit in his heart, and his only concern was Mu Qingyan's safety.

"Brother, he will not act recklessly."

Thinking of Wen Jixue's words and deeds, Mu Lin relaxed a little: "I know you all have success, I'm just worrying." Then he changed the subject, speaking briskly: "Second brother, you don't know when you go out, you I'm going to be an uncle!"

uncle?

Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Eldest sister is pregnant?"

"Yeah, they didn't get home until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Because Xiaowan was pregnant, they were afraid of the bumps on the road, so they waited until their bodies were stable before leaving. The road was also slow. Do the math, it's been eight months now, and there are still one or two days left. It's about to be born in a month."

"The eldest sister..."

Mu Lin understood, and hurriedly said, "It's at Zhao's house. She's already pregnant, so she definitely can't go with Hezi. There's no one to take care of her on weekdays. What should I do if something happens? We'll talk about it when the child is older."

Although the newlyweds are reluctant to separate, the reality is hard to resist.Not to mention anything else, Zhao He often ran darts, and Mu Wan was the only one at home. If she wanted to drink hot water, she had to cook it herself, and it was inconvenient to do anything with a big belly.With Aunt Zhao at home, there is no need to touch cold water, there is hot soup and hot rice, and Aunt Zhao reminds me a little bit, so I will have peace of mind. A kind mother-in-law like Aunt Zhao can be said to be very happy.

"Then I'll go and see Eldest Sister." The Zhao family is next door, and it's within walking distance.

After walking two steps, I thought that going to Zhao's house would not look good with my hands empty.If it's just Mu Wan, you don't need to pay too much attention, just make up later, but after all, there is Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, even if the other party doesn't care about things, they still pay attention to face, not to mention that there are so many people in the village, it will be ugly to pass the words back and forth.

Mu Lin was not that careful, especially not paying attention to some things in life. Seeing him stop, he asked.

Fortunately, Mu Qingyan took Gao Chun with him when he went out. After all, he also brought a lot of things when he came to Mu's house. Right now, he sent Gao Chun back to the villa to prepare another set of things.

Mu Lin laughed when he heard this: "Where is it so particular, just send it another day."

"With a carriage, it won't take much time."

Waiting for Gao Chun to come back, Mu Qingyan went to Zhao's house and said a few words to Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, then Aunt Zhao left with an excuse to let the siblings talk.

Mu Wan has always been straightforward, even though she has a big belly now, she still does things quickly.When Mu Qingyan came, she was sitting in the courtyard with Aunt Zhao, basking in the sun and washing the reed leaves.The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and every household needs to make zongzi. Aunt Zhao’s family used up all the zongzi leaves they had saved in the past.

Aunt Zhao didn't let Mu Wan touch the cold water, so Mu Wan wiped the washed reed leaves with a dry rag and put them in the basket.

Mu Wan hasn't been in the field since she got married, and now she is pregnant and is raising delicious food, not only her complexion is fairer, but she is also rounder, not too fat, and she is in good spirits.Seeing her talking and laughing with Aunt Zhao, with a relaxed expression on her face, she knew she was doing well.

Mu Wan is a caring person, even if she gets married, she can't change it. She babbles, asks and orders, probably because she is more sensitive and has more emotional ups and downs when she is pregnant. I don't know which sentence touched her, and her eyes turned red.Instead, she realized that she couldn't hide it.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, nothing will happen." Mu Qingyan felt that Mu Wan might be a little scared, afraid of having an accident with the baby.

Mu Wan's eyes were a little red again, and she smiled embarrassedly: "Look at me, I don't know what's going on, I want to cry every now and then." After a pause, she said in a low voice: "I'm a little scared. Second brother, don't you want to cry?" I know, last year I went to Hushan Mansion with Brother Hezi, and lived in a house provided by the bodyguard bureau. There were several households living in a large courtyard. The eldest sister of one family was a few years older than me, and she gave birth in October, but it turned out to be difficult. Two dead bodies. She gave birth to two before, and it was still difficult to give birth. I listened to her screaming all night until she died, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for several nights..."

Mu Qingyan couldn't help asking: "Is it difficult to give birth after giving birth to two?"

It is not to say that once a child is born, there will be no dystocia, but the probability is very low.

Mu Wan sighed: "I heard that the fetus was too big, and she fell again that day."

Mu Wan actually understood that it was caused by an accident, but she was still affected and contacted herself involuntarily, and became afraid of giving birth.Especially since I was a child, I have heard a lot about women's hardships in childbirth. It may not necessarily be dystocia, but there are other accidents.

"Sister, don't be afraid. As long as you are in good health and exercise moderately, everything will go well. How about this, I'll ask my brother later to see which doctor in the city is good at gynecology, and I'll show you every half a month. Let's follow the doctor's orders." Mu Qingyan felt that the main thing was to appease her emotions, so thousands of words were not as effective as a single sentence from a professional.

Obstetric examination is a good thing, and the family is not short of money, so just treat it as a married woman that their natal family loves, and don't bother Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao.

"Is this okay?" Mu Wan couldn't help but be moved.It's not that she is reluctant to give up money, but as a daughter-in-law, she can't be too hypocritical. The Zhao family treats her well enough, so she saves many things as much as she can.

"Don't worry, I will tell my eldest brother that when the time comes, I will let my sister-in-law take you. Uncle and Aunt Zhao will not be angry if they find out. Your body is important."

Mu Wan hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Thank you, second brother. I have money in my hand, and your brother-in-law will leave all the money to me. I will pay the doctor's money."

Although Zhao Jiaming did not split up the family, the eldest family was in the county and opened a shop to do business. After a long time, the eldest daughter-in-law felt dissatisfied. Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao asked them to pay half of the money and keep the other half. After all, it was Uncle Zhao who opened the shop back then The money from my aunt.Before Zhao He got married, all the money he saved was given to his family. After he got married, Aunt Zhao returned to him the rest of the money after throwing out the wedding expenses, and half of the money after that.

The old couple had discussed for a long time, and they waited for Zhao He to marry and separate.

It is reckoned that after Mu Wan gave birth, the family will be officially separated.

This is why Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao can see it openly. Moreover, Zhao Shan and Zhao He both have their own livelihoods, and they are far away from each other. They both run their own small homes.Aunt Zhao thought it would be better if she didn't accept it. If this happened, the family would be separated, so she might as well bring it up as a mother-in-law. The daughter-in-law would feel at ease and be more harmonious in the future.

Aunt Zhao watched the big families in the village make trouble every day, and she still felt that her home was good, even though it was usually a bit deserted.

Mu Qingyan told Mu Lin about the matter. When Mu Lin heard that Mu Wan was frightened, he even joked a few words. The main reason was that Mu Wan was courageous and a bit aggressive since she was a child. She never thought that she would be timid again.Even though I said that, Mu Lin also felt distressed. Such a bold sister was frightened. Since finding a doctor can reassure her, spending a few dollars is nothing.

Qing'e is not a stingy person, she really didn't know about it at first, so she had to comfort Mu Wan again.

The doctor was not invited to the village, so Qing'e invited Mu Wan to go for a walk and see the doctor by the way.Although Mu Wan said she was eight months old, it was like this in all farmers, even if she was about to give birth, she would walk or work outside.If it wasn't for Mu Wan's heart disease, she definitely wouldn't spend this unjustly money.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Shiliu asked He Chuan to deliver a heavy sealed paper bag to Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan guessed something, opened it, and it turned out that it was the records related to the "Feixian case" sent by Lin Jia. There were a total of ten or twenty sheets of paper, among which was a 50 tael bank note and a letter. .Lin Jia naturally mentioned the matter of money in the letter. He didn't mention it in the capital because he was afraid that he would not accept it, but Lin Jia felt that he had to give it.

50 taels is quite a lot, but compared to what Mu Qingyan charged in the past, it is very little.

Lin Jia is not a wealthy businessman or senior official, but a county magistrate, and his family is not ordinary. According to his normal salary income, 40 taels of silver a year, plus 50 Dan Lumi, [-] taels of silver is a large amount, suitable for his status .
