Silly Scholar's Wife

"Father, mother."

Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu ​​came in as a couple. Liu Shi and Wang Shi stood aside, not understanding why they were suddenly asked to come to the main room.

"Sit down." Father Mu glanced at them and told them to sit down.

"I'm looking for you today, I have something to talk about." Father Mu looked at Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang, his face was already calm as if nothing had happened.

"We have separated and live our own lives. Normally, I shouldn't care about your affairs, but today this matter concerns the entire Mu family. Let me talk about it and set the rules from now on."

Father Mu smoked a cigarette, thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Chen Xi sees your children growing up, and wants to help you so that your children can study. I will manage the income from the field and give some to each of the Mu family's children who are studying." subsidy."

"But after all, they are not their descendants. These should be the offerings of your parents. Just like Chenxi, I was the father who made offerings. I didn't ask your uncle, third uncle, and grandma for help. So I won't help you too much. , Every child who goes to school will be subsidized five liang of silver every year, and those who don’t go to school will get nothing, and you, the parents, will be responsible for the rest.”

He looked at Mu Chenhui and said, "Jingxing Shuxiu is eight taels of silver, and you still have to give me three taels. If you don't have enough money, you can deduct it from the subsidy silver next year."

"Also, our custom here is that there are no descendants and nephews take over the affairs, but it must be based on one's own wishes. Designate who is responsible or who is willing to be responsible. It is up to both parties to agree. These are not things that anyone wants or doesn't want. .”

"Ah!" Father Mu sighed, "Chen Xi and the others are destined to have no children, and I don't want you to make things difficult in the future. I have explained to the patriarch and those elders when I separated the family. After I get old, I will move Chen Xi and the others out of the family tree. Let them set up another branch, which has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to take responsibility for what happens after their death."

Father Mu saw Liu Shi and Wang Shi all looked up at him, with shock and disbelief in their eyes, even Mu Chenhui and the others looked at a loss.

He couldn't help but feel better, he didn't tell anyone about what he did, if it wasn't for dispelling Liu's delusions, he wouldn't want to say it now.

Do you think he is old-fashioned?He had already planned these twists and turns, but he still had a little expectation, don't do things too badly, and take care of Mu Chenhui's face no matter what.

But there are some things that must be planned ahead. The two sons have no other thoughts now, but as the children grow up, and the daughter-in-law has various careful thoughts, it is inevitable that they will not waver and do things that hurt the brotherhood.

He didn't want to see this kind of thing even if he died, so he explained to the clan that after he left, even if there was Mu Mu, he would also move Mu Chenxi and the others out of the genealogy, and set up a separate branch from them. on top of them.

"Old man, how can you do this, how will their brothers get along with each other in the future?" Mother Mu couldn't keep her mouth shut in surprise, and scolded Father Mu dissatisfied.

"Get along as you want to get along. If you don't want to get along, just break it." Father Mu smiled, and he looked at Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu. They won't break the relationship with the family tree when they move out."

"No." Mu Chenhui woke up from the shock and daze. He looked at Father Mu and assured him, "Father, we understand what you mean. Don't worry, we will never break the brotherhood, let alone humiliate the kinship."

"That's good." Mu Chenchu ​​smiled. He is smarter than Mu Chenhui, so he naturally understands Mu's father's meaning. He is afraid that his brothers will turn against each other after he is gone. Just do what you want, don’t always worry about what doesn’t belong to you.”

"Well, it's good to understand." Father Mu nodded gratifiedly. He knew that they understood what the two sons said, "If you don't do well in the future, you probably won't have the face to ask Chenxi and the others to take care of you. If they want to take back the land There is no need to complain about income and those who are exempt from tax and corvee."

Liu's and Wang's faces were ugly, especially Liu's, her expectations were all in vain.She didn't expect Father Mu to do this, and she was even prepared for it.

She has always thought that her mother-in-law has the final say in the family, but now it seems that she still doesn't understand.Since the last time the family was separated, the mother-in-law, who has always been strong, has no room for objection. Under the restraint of Father Mu, she didn't make trouble for Zhao Huan who didn't want to see each other.

It can be seen from this that she has been wrong in her calculations all these years after she married in.Seeing other people's daughters-in-law being beaten, scolded and treated harshly, this has never happened in their family.

She thought that the strong mother-in-law was kind-hearted, but she didn't expect that father Mu, who had been silent all this time, was the one who presided over the overall situation of the family.

It is absolutely impossible for a mother-in-law to arrange everything without knowing it, so that you can save face when you have nothing to do.

"Let's go."

Today was Mu Chenxi's first day to go to the academy to study. Zhao Huan got up in the morning and made a meal for him. After eating, he packed up his things and was ready to go.

Turning around, Zhao Huan was stunned on the spot. Mu Chenxi was holding a small rattan bookcase he made in his left hand, a cloth bag on his right side, and a folding fan in his right hand.

Yan Rumeiyu smiled like the scorching sun, her eyes were like stars and her cheeks were as red as clouds, her demeanor was graceful, quaint and gentle, who would have thought that this was a demented young man!

Zhao Huan sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face, "Chen Xi is so beautiful!" He stretched out his thumb and praised him.

Zhao Huan asked a tailor to make the cloth bag, imitating the modern shoulder bag. The portable rattan bookcase is also a combination of a modern handbag and luggage. It is like a small box with a beam, which is very convenient to carry.

When he started doing it, he only thought about convenience, but he didn't expect Mu Chenxi's outfit to add a bit of style to him, like a romantic student on an outing.

"My daughter-in-law made them for me." Hearing his praise, Mu Chenxi immediately smiled again with an innocent face, "My daughter-in-law is the best, treats me the best, and I am the most, the most, the best. I like daughter-in-law."

He is proud and proud, his eyes are sentimental, "Daughter-in-law, I don't want to go to the academy, I want to stay with you at home, but I have to work hard to become stronger!"

"Okay, Master will punish you if you delay any longer." Zhao Huan was most confused by his meal, how did Mu Chenxi learn these words, and how every sentence touched people's hearts.

Hearing that he is nostalgic now, I feel reluctant to give up, but for the sake of the future, I can only turn my face away cruelly and walk out.

At the gate of the academy, seeing Mu Chenxi turning her head three times and walking into the academy reluctantly, Zhao Huan was so distressed that she almost turned into a doting parent and took Mu Chenxi back.

Since the second day in ancient times, she has been with Mu Chenxi and has never been separated. Now she just feels empty in her heart, as if a corner is missing.

Returning to Muyixuan in a depressed mood, there are still things to do today.These days I have been busy with Mu Chenxi's affairs, and the supply of ornaments in the shop will soon be insufficient.

He has no energy for the high-end and exquisite products in the East District, so he can only put out some sample pictures for customers to choose and customize, and try his best to complement the ordinary decorations in the West District.

Mu Chenhui and the others don't have time to learn how to carve. They all help him with the pre-production and post-production work. He just starts to carve and shape, so the division of labor and cooperation speeds up a lot.

"Boss, the recruited apprentice is here." Shopkeeper Mu came to find Zhao Huan and asked him to have a so-called interview before signing the contract.

"En." Zhao Huan put down the carving knife, stretched his waist and exercised his muscles, and walked out of his studio.

There were ten teenagers standing outside. He originally intended to recruit five or six, but Mu Chenhui and the others advised him to recruit more, so that the chances of discovering high talents through more training would be higher.

Zhao Huan didn't care too much about these, thinking it would be okay to recruit a few more people, so he let them torment, and it would be a good thing to find talented people, so he could relax a bit in the future.

He looked around, but he couldn't tell if they were talented or not, but everyone was a dutiful person.Whether it's those young people in their twenties, or the few fifteen or six-year-old boys, they all look simple and honest.

As long as people are honest and responsible, Zhao Huan recognizes it.He doesn't want to deal with those people with evil intentions all day long, no matter how serious he is in learning and how good his attitude is, he doesn't want to stay.

"Yes, they are all from our clan?" Zhao Huan asked Mu Chenxing.

"Two are not." Mu Chenxing pointed to a young man and a young man, "They are from our village. They are honest, capable and reliable."

"Okay, let's sign the contract." Zhao Huan said, looking at these people, "apprentices also have a probationary period, and we will decide whether you will stay after one month. In addition, apprentices are no more than working, so the wages are lower. The probationary period is [-] wen a month, and after the probationary period is [-] wen a month, all for one lunch, if you think there is no problem, you can sign a contract with Shopkeeper Mu."

"Return, return the money?" A teenager asked happily.

"Shut up." Mu Chenxing raised his leg and kicked him, "No one else talks, but you have too many things to do."

Mu Chenxing acted like a shopkeeper and taught him a lesson, "Remember it for me in the future, you have to call the owner first and allow you to speak before you can speak, you understand?"

"Understood, big brother." Mu Chenrui said listlessly.

"Don't call me big brother, call me shopkeeper."

Zhao Huan didn't stop him from watching him set the rules.It is best to let them know some things earlier, so that everything will be done according to the rules in the future without trouble.

It's just that the youngest son of the poor uncle was taught a lesson by shopkeeper Mu, his big brother, as an early bird, and took advantage of the opportunity to show it to others, showing that he treats everyone equally, and there is no need to talk about human feelings with him.

…………

Mu Chenxi watched Zhao Huan drive away in the academy, feeling equally depressed.Seeing his cute and aggrieved appearance, Amber smiled and said, "I'll pick you up at night, just a day's work, like other students live in the academy, you see how lucky you are, you can go home to accompany your wife at night .”

"That's right!" Mu Chenxi's eyes lit up when she heard that, "I'm so lucky, I have to study hard to make my wife happy."

"That's right, let's go."

Amber sent him to the place and said, "Master is waiting inside. Go in. I'll pick you up at noon for dinner, and I'll clean up a room for you. You can rest at noon."

"No need." Mu Chenxi shook her head and refused, "My daughter-in-law said that she must be self-reliant and independent. I will go to the cafeteria to eat, and I will go to Amber if I have anything to do."

"Can you do it by yourself?" Amber was a little worried, although he knew it would be a good thing for him to learn to be independent, this is what he and Jiang Haohai thought, "Or, if you become independent again in a few days, Amber will pick you up today ?”

"No, I'll do today's work." Mu Chenxi smiled and waved at Amber, "I'll go in first, Amber should go back quickly. My wife won't let me be special, saying that it will not be good for the teacher and Amber."

"Hey!" Amber shook his head, the two sensible children made people feel distressed, "You go."

He told Mu Chenxi that the cafeteria was not far from here, it was very convenient, just around the corner.He also told him where he lived, if he could not find it, he would ask, and any master or servant would know it.

"okay, I get it."

Mu Chenxi saw Jiang Haohai sitting in front of him, bowed and saluted: "Master."

"Yeah." Jiang Haohai nodded and pointed to the seat in the first row directly in front of him, "Sit here."

Mu Chenxi obediently went over to sit down, but didn't see Jiang Haohai's twitching mouth. Zhao Huan was afraid that Mu Chenxi would be wronged, so he brought all the food and drink, which was still such a special way.

When he saw the satchel and the delicate bamboo cup on Mu Chenxi's body, he knew what was there.The college is not a place of prehistoric beasts, who can really treat Mu Chenxi harshly, Jiang Haohai shook his head and secretly smiled.

Not far away, a student saw Mu Chenxi, and his eyes widened: Why did he come here? Isn't he already a Juren?Moreover, can he still read now that he is abnormal?
