In the backyard, Mrs. Mou finally breathed a sigh of relief when she got the news about the study room, and coaxed all the old sisters to be satisfied. When she saw the two white and fat dolls wrapped in brocade swaddling clothes, she remembered that it would be another year or so. There will also be a few new lives in the family, and the old ladies are laughing so hard that their teeth can't see their eyes.Finally, gold and silver lockets, jade pendants, gold collars and bracelets were stuffed into swaddling clothes.

The two new members of the Mou family have long been named Mou Rui and Mou Hui by their fathers. As for the names, they have to be chosen by the respected elders or husbands after they grow up.

Su Yuan has been a foolish and optimistic person since she was a child, and she thought she lived a very happy life, so in private, she didn't like names with meanings such as wisdom and wisdom. No right to veto.However, the baby name is her right, and she can't let it out.

After struggling for three days and three nights and listing two big papers, the two children finally decided on their baby names. The elder brother was named Guagua, and the younger sister was named Guoguo.

When Mou Yi heard the name, he was drinking tea, his clothes were drenched from coughing for the first time in his life, but seeing his wife's innocent and aggrieved eyes, he could only praise the catchy baby name against his will, it was very ...well, interesting.

On the contrary, Mrs. Mou liked the name very much. She hugged her grandchildren and screamed non-stop, often making people think that there were ducks in the house of Mou's family.

If anyone is the happiest, it must be Brother Kun.Children don't care about the rules of confinement at all, and they have to visit their younger siblings five or six times a day, and they have the air of trampling on the threshold of their aunt's room.

Occasionally lying next to my younger siblings to talk with them, in the end, I turned into three snoring piglets, which made the adults laugh a lot.

The family and everything are prosperous, because the Mou family has two more children, it is like an old tree bursting with infinite vitality in an instant, but everything is not perfect, and the sales of the fertility medicine launched by Huichuntang are not smooth.

Except for the acquaintances who came to ask for medicine that day, most of the rest were inquiries, and few of them really bought it back with money. Maybe the price of one or two pairs was a bit high, maybe it was because they were afraid that they would ruin their health. In short, Huichuntang The old shopkeeper was very annoyed that the subcontracted medicinal materials were piled up in the cabinet to eat dust.

But Granny Wu, who has been in the medical clinic for a while, doesn't care at all. She urges everyone to stay busy every day. When the days of free consultations come, she takes Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Zhao, who come to intern by turns, to see children and women. Yuan, she hasn't been liberated from confinement yet...

When the spring breeze becomes warmer day by day, the distant mountains outside Wanshi City have completely changed into green clothes. Everything seems to have been ordered, and they all start to show off all their abilities and grow wildly.

On this day, the courtyard of the Mou family was very festively decorated. There were many flower balls made of red silk and satin hanging on the shrubs and trees, not to mention the verandas and other courtyards.

Previously, because the Mou family was still in the period of filial piety, even though there was a rule that there is no taboo to marry within a hundred days of filial piety, when Mou Yi got married, he still didn't wear red and green, and there was no big banquet. A small number of close relatives and close acquaintances.

Now that Guagua and Guoguo have a hundred days, half of the filial piety period has passed after careful calculation. Mrs. Mou couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered her son and daughter-in-law to do a big job, wishing to show off her good children and grandchildren of the Mou family with the whole Chilong.

The doors inside and outside the Mou Family Courtyard were wide open, and eighty tables were set up, and all the dignified people in Wanshi City were invited to have a cup of wedding wine.

The Tao and Chu families are deeply grateful to the Mou family, not to mention that their daughter-in-law is about to give birth, even the rest of the younger generation are also taking the fertility medicine of Huichuntang, so other people's gifts are at most a burden. But it is a car to Mou's house.

Mrs. Mou was very happy that her daughter-in-law had these two friends, and she was even closer to the Tao family and the Chu family. The three old ladies brought a whole house of children and family members, and it was very lively and festive when they talked and laughed.

Soon, Guagua Guoguo was brought out by Su Yuan for a "display", and others paid it off, but the old ladies got more and more unhappy the more they looked at it.

Su Yuan wore a pomegranate red embroidered blouse today, and a pearl white lake crepe skirt. Her long black hair was tied up in a double snail bun, and she wore two pearl hairpins.There are a pair of pear dimples slightly on the cheeks that are as white and tender as jade, and the rouge is lightly applied, making the big eyes look forward to the light, how comfortable and festive no matter how you look.

The old ladies looked at Mrs. Mou, whose face was blooming with joy, and couldn't help being envious and jealous.How could such a good daughter-in-law be married back by the Mou family? If they had seen each other earlier, they might have to fight for their son.

At this time, they were just muttering in their hearts, and the old ladies couldn't bear it anymore when they hugged two cute, fat and cute children with big eyes.

"Old sister, you are really lucky. How did you have such a good daughter-in-law and a good grandson and granddaughter? No wonder the news didn't leak at all. Hmph, I'm afraid it's us old-fashioned old faces who are fighting with you?"

"That's right, if I knew I wouldn't be here today, I'm really jealous."

When Madam Mou heard this, she was so happy that she was about to bubble, she couldn't be angry.

"Old sisters, don't be angry. They all say that fate is destined. Although I am old and dim-witted, the first time I saw my daughter-in-law, I thought she was from my family. To tell you the truth, I hesitated before marrying her. , but dreaming at night, the Buddha foretells, the red light all over the room and the children and grandchildren running all over the ground, it makes me want to cry. Knee, everything is the gift of the Buddha, the ancestors and the ancestors bless you!" Even after more than a year, Mrs. Mou talked about the dream that day, as if it had just happened, and heard several old ladies chanting Buddha again and again, Naturally, they also put away the jealousy and envy in their hearts, and instead made up their minds to go to the temple to worship when they went back, and opened a small Buddhist hall at home, and prayed to the Buddha to bless their children and grandchildren in the same way.

When everyone was chatting and laughing like this, suddenly a servant girl guarding the second gate of the Chu family and the Tao family came to report that Mrs. Tao and the sixth Mrs. Chu were going to give birth together. After they got pregnant together, they gave birth together again.

The old ladies of the two families panicked and urged the maids to help them go back to the mansion quickly. After one foot in and one foot out of the door, they realized that they hadn't said goodbye to Old Madam Mou, so they went back to make amends.

"Don't blame me, old girl. On the day of the big wedding, we can't drink the wedding wine safely. We have business at home, and the old sister is the host. Please come to the old girl and have a good time."

How could Mrs. Mou not understand their urgency, and quickly responded: "The old sister is so polite, she is from her own family, it is serious to go back and take care of her daughter-in-law and give birth to a big fat grandson. I'm afraid if you don't invite me to drink and watch a show." It’s not going to work, the children will be filled with moon wine.”

These words spoke too much to the thoughts of the two old ladies, both of them laughed happily, but before the laughter fell to the ground, another news came from the second door.

Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Chu Liu are finished, they are both boys!

Not to mention the Tao and Chu families, all the guests inside and outside were shocked. They had heard that the childbirth went smoothly, but they had never heard of such a happy one!

After counting and counting, it took only two sticks of incense, and both families added a big fat boy.

On the contrary, the Mou family is very calm, after all, there is a family who gave birth to two children with a cup of tea.

Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Chu were so excited that they almost fainted. Immediately, they rushed back like a gust of wind, leaving many guests eating and drinking while discussing enthusiastically. They began to drink three meals a day, and those who had eaten for two months planned to find a doctor to diagnose the pulse of their wives and concubines.

Mou Yi saw everything in his eyes, thought for a while, and found an opportunity to tell Mou Qing, "The two baskets of Kaijiang fish bought by people earlier are very fresh. You go to the inner courtyard and send a message to Second Mistress. Add some fish soup."

Mou Qing took the order to go, but came back soon.

Mou Yi raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and Mou Qing reported in a low voice with a smile: "The slave just arrived at the second gate and saw Hongxia go to the kitchen to order to change the fish soup. It turns out that the second grandma and the second master thought of a place."

"Okay, go down." Mou Yi nodded, and when he turned around, his eyes slowly filled with a smile.Husband and wife are of the same heart, tacit understanding is self-contained, what could be more joyful than this?

The two baskets of open river fish did not disappoint the trust of the master, and they were made into steaming fish soup and served. The banquet in the front yard was of course nothing, but I heard a few praises for its freshness and deliciousness, but the banquet in the backyard had two harvests. exclaimed.

Granny Wu was immediately helped out for a pulse diagnosis, and the good news that two more babies had reported to their mothers spread throughout the Mou family. He was so happy that he almost went stupid, and finally he woke up and pulled Mou Yi as a salute.

Everyone was envious and helping to comfort, and their hearts were even more difficult like a cat scratching, especially those who didn't believe in fertility medicine before and planned to wait and see for a while, wishing to slap themselves a few times. If they weren't too cautious, maybe now There is also good news from home.

The [-]-day feast for the twins of the Mou family was more climactic and exciting than the birthday banquet for the old lady of the Chu family, but it was far less lively than the following days.

That night, the shop door of Huichun Hall was slammed, and the birth medicine that the old shopkeeper was worried about was swept away, and all of them were replaced with white money lying in the money box. Even so, there were still people clamoring To ask the medicine boy to make medicines quickly, they must drink the medicinal soup before going to bed tonight, as if as long as they drink the medicinal soup, their wives and concubines will have his children in their stomachs tomorrow.

The shrewd old shopkeeper made a decisive decision and immediately called all the drug boys and handymen to rush to work overnight. Of course, he did not forget the master's order and explained clearly the taboos of taking medicine.

As expected by the old shopkeeper, when he got up early the next day, the Huichun hall was full of people, and there was no place to set foot. Even people from outside the county town came to join in the fun. I don’t know how they got the news, but everyone was very excited. I don't have time to care about such trivial matters, it's more important to sell medicine and collect money.

When Su Yuan heard the news, she was biting the fat feet of her son and daughter, playing touching games with them.Sister-in-law Chen and Sister-in-law Liu have already left their teachers completely. The soup delivered every day is delicious and nutritious. It's lively, especially a pair of big eyes, looking over with swarthy eyes, can make anyone's heart soften into a puddle of mud.

Not to mention Brother Kun clinging to his younger siblings all day long, even Mrs. Mou used the excuse that the main courtyard was too dark and refused to go back to her son's courtyard all day long.You know, the main yard is the largest and the sunniest yard among all the yards. This excuse is really not a good one.

But no one exposed her. As the old saying goes, the old son and the grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. No one can stop the grandmother from getting closer to the grandchildren!

So, Mou Erye, who has been a monk for a few months, can only continue to hold a face of wanting nothing, but his heart is full of tears. Fortunately, Mrs. Mou is not satisfied, and she greedily wants more grandchildren The granddaughter took the initiative to take Brother Kun back to the main courtyard after she was late.

Of course, this is also because it is early summer, the weather is very good, and the melons and fruits can be carried back and forth. Otherwise, the grandchildren will not be seen for a day, and the custodian Mrs. Mou has thrown the resentment of the monk's son to the back of her mind. went.

After looking through the account books for a few days, Su Yuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded by the large sums of money. After thinking about it, she ordered Hongxia to go to the study in the front yard to talk to her husband.

Mou Yi had just finished writing the memorial, which was being sealed and sealed with wax varnish, and there was a two-foot-square box on the table.Mou Qing had changed into neat clothes a long time ago, with a small luggage on her back, ten armed guards had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Hearing that Hongxia was begging for an audience outside the courtyard, Mou Yi gave the envelope and the box to Mou Qing, and said solemnly: "This matter is important, we must be careful."

Mou Qing knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Master, don't worry, this slave will do his job well."

Mou Yi nodded, "Go, the day when you and Hongxia get married will be the day when everything is done and you come back."

"Thank you, master!" Mou Qing stared wide-eyed in joy, clenched his fist and pounded his chest, afraid that the master would not believe it.

Mou Yi laughed and waved his hand to signal him to go.

Mu Qing carefully hid the envelope in his chest pocket, carried the box and strode out the door.

Hongxia was standing outside the door, looking around, not understanding why things were so easy in the past, why she didn't see her master after waiting for a long time today.

As a result, as soon as the courtyard door opened, Mou Yi came out with the guards, dressed as if he was going to travel far away.In a panic, she ran up and grabbed Mou Qing's sleeve, and asked softly, "Where are you going?"

The guards behind couldn't help laughing, which made Hongxia blush, but she didn't let go of her hands.

Mou Qing's heart was hot, and she wanted to comfort her, but she was afraid of accidentally leaking the news, so she could only whisper: "Hurry up and embroider the wedding dress, and I will marry you when I come back."

"Ah!" Hongxia was so startled that she let go of her hand immediately, and before he could ask a few words in shame, Mou Qing took the opportunity to lead her away.

She stomped her feet angrily, and just about to scold a few words, she saw the master walking out of the courtyard, so she could only endure her doubts, and hurried forward to report.

Su Yuan was breastfeeding the two children at night, so she inevitably lacked sleep. After waiting for a long time, her husband did not come over, so she hugged Guagua and Guoguo and fell asleep together.

When Mou Yi entered the door, he saw a thick brocade quilt on the big kang by the window, his lovely wife and a pair of children were sleeping very sweetly.The son was naughty, and occasionally stretched out his little feet and kicked the daughter's stomach. The daughter was not to be outdone, and hit back straight with her small fist. Perhaps the sleeping wife felt something in her heart, her eyes were closed, but her hands were precise. Separated the hands and feet of the children, and patted each of them a few times, the mother and son continued to play with Zhou Gong again.

Such a warm and happy scene, even a man with a hard heart will turn into a puddle of honey water.Mou Yi stretched out his hand and waved back sister-in-law Zhang and Lvyi who were doing needlework in the corner of the room, stepped forward and sat beside his wife and children and watched quietly, even for the rest of his life, he would not feel bored.

When Su Yuan woke up, she saw that her husband was hugging and teasing her naughty son, so she quickly got up and straightened her clothes and hair. She complained angrily, "Second Lord, why didn't you wake me up?"

Mou Yi stretched out his hand to tuck the broken hair at the temples for her, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, there is nothing important about it, it's not too late."

Su Yuan felt sweet when he heard that, turned around but picked up an account book and handed it over, and retorted: "Who said there is no big deal, Huichun Hall has earned 1000 taels of silver in just three days, shouldn't the Grace House be ready?"

While supporting his son to crawl on his chest, Mou Yi opened the account book for a few glances, and finally replied: "It's just to buy some food and supplies. I've already selected the manpower. As for the yard..."

"I have a courtyard here!" Su Yuan interrupted her husband enthusiastically, and smiled like offering a treasure: "Mrs. It's a very good shelter, why don't you use that yard first, if you can't live there in the future, it won't be too late for the second master to think of a way."

"Since it was given to you, why don't you keep it for future use?"

"I have food and shelter at home. What do I do with a yard? Let's live in it for those lonely old people and children. It's so pitiful." Su Yuan changed the diaper of her waking daughter while not caring. shook his head.

When Mou Yi heard this, the look in his eyes became gentle again, and he replied with a smile, "Okay."

The couple discussed it properly, and the next day the plaque of the Grace Court was hung at the gate of the compound in the west of the city. There were no firecrackers and no congratulatory guests. Only cartloads of food, bedding, clothes, and pots and pans were sent to the gate.At noon, a pot of rice porridge and golden corn pancakes was carried to the gate of the courtyard.

The neighborhood was originally a gathering place for poor families, most of whom were craftsmen doing odd jobs and hard labor in the city, and even begging children and old homeless people. Dozens of drooling old and young people were attracted, all of them were in ragged clothes, their faces were covered with dirt, and they were in a state of embarrassment.

An old man in blue clothes with a weathered face stood on the steps, smiled with everyone from a distance, and greeted: "Fathers and folks, my old man is Ye. Today is the first day that our Mercy Hall opens to do charity. I have prepared rice porridge and steamed buns for everyone. You are welcome, as long as you don’t dislike it, feel free to come up and get a portion to pad your stomach.”

A group of beggars, old and young, heard that there was such a good thing, so they didn't hesitate, they rushed up in a swarm, and soon each of them had rice porridge in their hands, grabbed the pancakes and ate them to their heart's content.

Old man Ye didn't mind that people almost overturned the table. He smiled and watched everyone eating and drinking. It wasn't until an old beggar was full and took a little boy to salute and thank him that he said again: "Old brother heard that Have you been to Huichun Hall?"

The old beggar was often walking on the street, and upon hearing this, he said, "Of course I've heard that, the front of the gate is very lively these days, and they often give medicines to the common people on weekdays. I heard that the owner's surname is Mou."

Old man Ye smiled even more kindly, nodded and said: "The Mercy Hall behind me is opened by the Patriarch of the Mou family, and the money used to buy food comes from the sales of medicines in the Huichun Hall. I was sent by the master to manage the Mercy Hall. The master has already explained, Orphans and widows are taken in in the Mercy Courtyard, which provides two meals a day and four sets of clothes in winter and summer. If anyone wants to live in, just report their place of origin and name."

"what?!"

Hearing this, not only the grandparents and the grandson, but also the beggars on the side were shocked. This is really a pie in the sky!

They wandered around the city all day long, sometimes being chased and bitten by wild dogs for half a bowl of rotten rice, and being beaten, scolded and spit on was a common occurrence. Now they suddenly heard that someone was willing to provide food and clothes. After they were pleasantly surprised He hesitated again. Could it be that the Mou family planned to lure them into the yard, then tie them up and sell them to the south seaport or send them to the northwest to herd sheep?

Thinking like this, some people slowly backed away, hiding at the base of the wall, ready to escape at any time.

I don't know the origin of the old beggar who spoke earlier, he seemed to be a bit shrewd, he held the little beggar's hand tightly, and asked in a low voice: "Eat people's food, wear people's clothes, we always have to pay back one or two. I don't know Mou Jiagui Do people have something we can do?"

Appreciation flashed in Old Man Ye's eyes, and his tone became more gentle, "Our Mou family's heirs are weak, and the second grandmother gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. The masters feel the great grace of God, and want to add some blessings to the little masters, so The second grandmother took out this yard to do good deeds. The second grandmother had already explained that the Charity Court provides food, but does not support useless people.

"Everyone who enters the Grace House has to bring brooms and other things to sweep the streets on 22 days in January, or do some simple jobs. The coffin and shroud are chosen for burial. Young children will also be invited to teach literacy and reading, or learn a craft.”

"Can you really teach children to read?" Almost as soon as Old Man Ye finished speaking, the old beggar pulled his grandson to his knees in excitement, tears welled up in his cloudy old eyes, "I beg your permission, we want to enter the Hall of Mercy and do some work No matter how hard you work, no food or clothing, just teach my grandson how to read!"

Among the beggars hiding not far away, some clever ones rushed over and shouted, "I'm not afraid of suffering, please take me in."

Old man Ye hurriedly helped everyone up, and after a few words of comfort, he led them into the gate of Mercy Hall.

The remaining beggars still hesitated, but seeing that the people from the Charity Hall did not come forward to persuade them, they discussed and dispersed.

A few days later, the people of Wanshi City discovered a new thing. Every morning and evening, there would always be a group of old and young people wearing ordinary gray clothes and blue belts. When it is messy, it will bend over to clean it, and it will not leave until it is clean.

Everyone couldn't help being puzzled, they knew the name of the Mercy Hall after asking, naturally some praised it, and some rolled their eyes and said that the Mou family was grandstanding and seeking fame.

But no one can deny with conscience that Wanshicheng is indeed getting cleaner and tidy day by day. The old and the young are very polite, and some people and merchants occasionally give them some old clothes and shoes, or fresh food.

The world is like a set of dominoes, if one is toppled, the result of a virtuous circle may be a beautiful picture.

There are more and more people in the Charity Hall, and soon all the beggars and homeless people in and outside the city are taken into the yard. There are also more and more people cleaning in Wanshi City, and occasionally there are children who help Elderly people in the street carried baskets, and a team of garbage collectors also appeared on the banks of the moat.

As for the fertility medicine in Huichuntang, it was just like what the second master of the Mou family said at the time, as long as the men who follow the doctor's advice to avoid food and drink the medicine on time, at least two months, as many as three to five months, there will be good news from the family.Out of a heart of gratitude, they naturally send thank-you gifts to the Mou family, but the Mou family said that if everyone is grateful and does not mind accumulating merit for the unborn child, they will exchange the thank-you gifts for silver and donate them to the Charity Hall. A tall stone tablet has long been erected there, and those who donate money will be listed on the list, and incense will be offered day and night.

This kind of good deed with both fame and wealth is more desirable to everyone, so the managers of each family will go to the Charity Hall, and when they go back, they will not forget to tell the master how clean the Charity Hall is. The old man is making small handmade toys. Chatting, children and poor scholars specially hired to teach reading and literacy, and even learn abacus, masonry, carpentry and other crafts, it does not look dilapidated and gloomy in the imagination.

The most important thing is that the stone tablet at the door is too conspicuous, engraved with the name, it will definitely be seen clearly by everyone.

So and so, but in March and April, when the coolness of the autumn wind replaced the scorching heat of the summer wind and swept across the entire land, there were no more ragged beggars in and outside Wanshi City, and the streets in the city were almost clean. It can be described in a mirror. Even the official roads outside the city are strolled by people with picks and shovels every day. If they encounter inadequacies, they will make up for them, and if they encounter bumps, they will be flattened. I bought 50 taels of silver from the Charity Hall.

Of course, this does not rule out the reason why the county magistrate wants to make friends with the Mou family. After all, there was good news from Hou Yali a few days ago.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and Huichuntang even opened branches in other counties and prefectural cities.After all, heirs are a big deal, and driving away from Huichun Hall means breaking the inheritance of many families...

Su Yuan's life is also extremely comfortable. Every day, she takes care of her husband and children, is filial to her mother-in-law, teaches her nephew, manages the house, is busy and happy.
