Nongmen Shenjue

After resting at the inn for another night, the group set off to leave Shizhu Town.

On the carriage, Mu Qingyan tossed Chen Shiliu 25 taels of silver: "The cost of redeeming the jewellery."

Chen Shiliu is a lazy person, he doesn't care about money at all, so the previous investigations were done according to Mu Qingyan's orders, and he didn't even think about repaying the money after spending the money.However, Mu Qingyan offered him money, but he did not refuse, after all, his expenses were really high.

Having known each other for so long, he knows that Mu Qingyan's actions are clear in "official affairs", and it is indeed beneficial to do so.

Seven or eight days later, they finally entered Fenglin County.

This road took a land route, a long detour, and an inaccessible mountain road, but no accidents have been encountered.Chen Shiliu was still in high spirits at first, imagining that he would be able to shout a few slogans when he encountered bandits and robbers as sung in the play.

Walking to a three-way intersection, there was a happy sound of suona from the other road. Following the sound, it seemed that there was a group of people sending off their relatives. The most striking thing was the big red wedding sedan chair in the group.There are a lot of people in the team, estimated to be about fifty people, and several cars of dowry are behind them, which seems to be very rich.

Gao Tian parked the carriage on the side of the road and let the procession to go first.

"He's married." Chen Shiliu clicked his tongue twice, apparently thinking about their wedding at Yang's Village.Not long after that incident ended, seeing the red and festive send-off team again, it is inevitable that they have complicated thoughts.

Mu Qingyan raised the curtain of the car and took a look, feeling a little strange.

It's nothing else, the dowry seems to be very rich, the woman's family should be not bad, but the person guarding the wedding sedan chair looks like the woman's elder brother, wearing brand-new silk clothes, but his face is black and red, as if he was digging in the dirt. He looks like an old farmer who eats food.

Maybe it's a story about a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

Since the big red wedding sedan chair is used to see off relatives, it is not a concubine.Regardless of the purpose of the man's family, the daughter of the peasant family is always the wife.Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not impossible, and occasionally there will be a happy ending.

The carriage was attached to the back of the team. At noon, the sending team stopped for a rest, and Mu Qingyan and the others directly passed by.

If you don't go to the village and don't go to the store, it's better to use pastry mats to cushion your stomach, and hurry back to the county to have a good meal.

Until dark, the few people who were exhausted finally returned to Liulin Ferry.

Dinner was eaten at Wen Jixue's inn, Chen Shiliu lived here directly, and Mu Qingyan went back to the shop.

"Second brother?!" At this time, Mu Wen and Mu Wu had already fallen asleep, and they were woken up by the knock on the door, and found that Mu Qingyan had returned, and the drowsiness disappeared immediately.

"Why did the second brother come back so late? Have you eaten yet?" Mu Wenxie said, putting on his clothes and walking towards the kitchen while saying, "There is hot water in the cauldron, does the second brother want to take a bath?"

"After dinner, I'll make it myself, you guys go to bed first." Mu Qingyan patted Mu Wen's shoulder to stop him from getting busy.

Mu Wudao: "Second brother, you went away without telling elder brother, elder brother is very angry. Also, elder sister was so angry that she almost went to find you."

Mu Qingyan almost forgot that he had killed first and then left.

At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong, he was an adult in his heart, and he was used to being independent, but when he thought about facing Mu Wan tomorrow... he felt a little guilty for a while.

Mu Wen and Mu Wu originally wanted to ask him about his experience of going out, but he dismissed him: "I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something to say, go to bed quickly."

"...Okay, second brother, you go to bed early, and we'll go back to the village tomorrow. Oh, I haven't told you yet, our new house is built, it's grand and spacious, it's the biggest and best house in Qingshan Village. Also, since the house was built, the matchmakers have stepped on the threshold. Some matchmaking for the eldest brother, some for the eldest sister, and some for me and Mu Wen. By the way, the second brother is also very popular. Well, they are talking about the girls in the county." Mu Wu was so excited that he kept talking like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Mu Qingyan scooped up water to take a bath, threw his hidden clothes into the wooden basin, and went back to his room with a snort.The lamp in the room was lit by Mu Wen, and the bed was made, all clean, and the exhaustion of driving for several days made him fall asleep right away.

A good night's sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he saw that Mu Wen was about to wash his dirty clothes, so he immediately stepped forward to take over.Mu Wen and Mu Wu are already proficient in taking care of the rice shop, the steamed buns have been put on the tray, and mung bean soup has been cooked.Hanging the clothes on the edge of the vegetable garden behind the house, Mu Qingyan felt that it was imminent to get two servants, but in this way, the house would not be enough to live in.

Waiting for the dawn, the people who had breakfast came one after another.

"Mu shopkeeper, are you back? I heard that you went out to investigate the case, what case is it?" Many people greeted him.

Mu Qingyan responded with a few words.

For example, people like Guo Yong sat in the shop while he was free, and talked about a lot of new things about the ferry in a short while.

Chen Shiliu ran off to have breakfast, and also said hello to him, and then went back to the county.After leaving for so long, Chen Shiliu was worried about his fate.

After breakfast, the three of the Mu family rented a car and went back to Qingshan Village.

The original Mu family has changed drastically. A brand new large courtyard appeared on the homestead. An old pagoda tree outside the gate remained, still luxuriant.The gate is open, the soil in the yard has been rammed, gravel is used to pave the cross path, a shed is set up on the left, and firewood, farm tools and other sundries are piled up, peach and plum trees are planted on the right, and a small flower garden is built, in which various common flowers and plants are full of vitality .

As planned at the beginning, there is a main house with three lights and two shades facing the front, and two side rooms on the left and right. A back room is added behind the main house, which is said to be used as a warehouse, and it is also prepared for the family to have enough space to live in the future.

Such a big house is definitely a big deal, very eye-catching.

"Second brother!" Mu Xiu was sitting under the eaves talking to someone, when she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw Mu Qingyan.Mu Xiu happily ran over, stopped halfway, seemed a little shy, turned her head and shouted into the room: "Eldest sister, elder sister, come out quickly, second brother is back!"

Mu Wen deliberately teased her: "You little girl, you only see the second brother."

Mu Xiu giggled, and hurriedly called out: "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I'll go get you some water."

"Second brother Mu." Wu Xiaomei was with Mu Xiu. Her round face was a little thinner before. After hesitating for a long time, she called someone in a low voice. After that, she greeted Mu Xiu and went home. .

When Xiaomei was kidnapped before, Mu Qingyan didn't pay attention to the follow-up, but judging from Xiaomei's expression, the current situation is better than expected.

At this time, Mu Wan came out of the main room, and she was naturally very happy to see Mu Qingyan, but suddenly thought of something, her face turned into a stern face, and said with a sneer: "You still know how to come back? Mu Qingyan, you are so courageous." , go out without saying a word, the outside is so chaotic, what if something happens..." At this point, the eyes turned red, it was just a play, but it became seventy percent real.

"Big sister, I'm not doing well." Mu Qingyan didn't disrespect the Mu brothers and sisters, but he was not the original owner after all, he was used to it, and occasionally he would forget that there are people who are worried about it.

"I'm not worried about you!" To Mu Qingyan, Mu Wan would always be tolerant, so she calmed down after saying a few words, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish at all: "Second brother, don't do this again in the future, you You want to scare me and my brother to death!"

"...No, I will tell you in person when I go out again." Mu Qingyan felt that Mu Wan's fear was very strong, after a little thought, he probably understood, so he made a promise to her.

"That's right!" Mu Wan relaxed and smiled.Although in her heart she wished to ask Mu Qingyan to promise not to go far again, but thinking that he has a lot of ideas now, and it would be easy to make him unhappy if he forced it, so she could only let it go temporarily.

Mu Wan didn't ask too much, she was relieved to see him come back intact.

Seeing that it was still early, Mu Wan sent Mu Wen and Mu Wu to buy meat in the city, and told Mu Lin to come back by the way.Mu Wan led him to look around the new house. There is a house in the middle of the main house, with one light and one dark on the left and right. Mu Lin lives on one side, and Mu Wan takes Mu Xiu to live on the other side. The two wing rooms on the right are for Mu Wenmu. Wu's.

Mu Wan said: "The three of you don't come back often, let Xiaowen and Xiaowu sleep in one room during the Chinese New Year, and you sleep in one room."

Mu Qingyan didn't care, he had actually been separated from the family, and even if he reserved a room, it would be useless.

Mu Wan said again: "Most of the land you bought before were old tenants. There is no problem. If you have time, I and my elder brother will take care of it for you. My elder brother said that I will buy two people."

Mu Wan frowned, she was not used to asking her to find a servant by herself, but what Mu Lin said made sense, the second brother was different, he needed someone to take care of him.Mu Wen and Mu Wu are half-grown children, and they can't do many things.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Big brother will pay attention to you. After you find out, you can see if it fits."

Mu Qingyan said: "In that case, I have to build two more houses."

Mu Wan nodded, then paused again: "Second brother, why don't you stop opening this restaurant? You don't care about it now, why don't you go and buy a house in the county town."

Mu Wan was really reluctant to close the restaurant at the ferry, but from Mu Qingyan's point of view, the profit of the restaurant was really nothing.Since he likes to investigate cases and can make money, he might as well not engage in such a tiring business as a restaurant.What's more, the place at the ferry is far less safe than in the city.

Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "I like to live in the ferry. I keep the restaurant. When I have nothing to do, I just kill time. But there are two Xiaowen and Xiaowu. I asked Xiaowu. He likes to cook. I will give him Find a master to learn a craft. For Xiaowen..."

Mu Wan took the words angrily: "Xiaowen has had many ideas since he was a child and was restless. How old is he? He just wants to run away! You can do it if you want to, and wait until fifteen! Xiaowu is much more down-to-earth, he likes to cook Just let him do it."

While talking, he slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot one important thing, but fortunately you came back in time. Our new house has been built, and we have invited wine before, and the elder brother's marriage should be put on the agenda."
