Silly Scholar's Wife

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of the year.

Mu Chenxi's academy was closed on the 22nd. On the [-]nd, he came to see Jiang Haohai and Amber off.

They were going to Fucheng to celebrate the New Year, and they were invited by old friends for many years, so they couldn't refuse.

Seeing that they couldn't stay, Mu Chenxi came over to see them off and wished them an early New Year's greeting.

Watching the carriage slowly drive out of sight, he tightened his jacket and robe and accelerated his pace towards the house.

He is in a good mood, and he can stay at home with his wife for a month. It feels so blissful to get along day and night.

When approaching the entrance of the alley, Mu Chenxi stopped and looked towards the study room.

There were a lot of students in these two days, they didn't delay their studies, and they still took the time to study.

The condition of the study room is good, there are many books and warm, and there is a hot meal at noon every day.

Many students gather together to exchange knowledge and take care of each other. This can be said to be their paradise.

Mu Chenxi looked at her yard, raised her foot and turned around.He's going to the study room to have a look, so there's no need to come here again if there's nothing serious.

"Dawn."

As soon as Mu Chenxi entered, he was stopped by Mu Yunhe, who was helping to manage the self-study room. He said mysteriously, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing his appearance, Mu Chenxi might have something hard to say.

Mu Yunhe glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Three students came last night and said they wanted to live with us, but I don't think they are scholars."

He paused for a while, and then said: "One of them mentioned a student's name, saying that he told them about the study room, and he had come to see it first, and said that he had talked to you."

"Oh"

Mu Chenxi raised her eyebrows. She didn't think that anyone would lie, but she subconsciously felt that there was something wrong, so she said to Mu Yunhe, "Take me to see them."

Mu Yunhe led him to the door of a wing room, pointed to the inside, "Arrange them to live in one room, so they know each other well and get along well."

"En." Mu Chenxi nodded, stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door opened just after knocking, and a young man with firm eyes stood at the door.

"Muju, please come in." Wang Zhixiang said, stretching out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Mu Chenxi smiled at him, seeing that he was nervous and trying to calm himself down, "I'll come and see if you need help."

He walked in and saw two awkward teenagers standing beside the table, looking at him nervously, afraid that Mu Chenxi would say something that they would not be able to bear next.

"Sit down, don't be nervous."

Mu Chenxi had a gentle attitude, looking at the three shabby-dressed teenagers, they were about the same age, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Mu Juren." Wang Zhixiang looked at the two nervous companions, and said without a clue, "We want to borrow here, and we can solve the problem of eating by ourselves."

He bit his lower lip slightly, "Are you going to work here? We will work first to make money, and then go to study."

"Yes, yes."

Mu Chenxi directly agreed to them, let them feel at ease first, and when they are not nervous, "Sit down and talk. I just heard about this and came to ask about the situation. Do you need my help?"

Wang Zhixiang and the others saw him smiling amiably, and agreed to their request without hesitation. After they were no longer so nervous, the three of them looked at each other and sat down.

It was still Wang Zhixiang who spoke: "Mu Juren, we have dropped out of school for a long time, and we want to make some money here first, and then go to school to study."

"Well, very good." Mu Chenxi nodded, her eyes were full of admiration, "This is very good, and I will continue to strive for self-improvement."

"Can you tell me about the situation at home?" Mu Chenxi said, he was a little skeptical and wanted to make sure, "See if the family members need to get some work here? If necessary, it's okay. Many students and family members here make money here, and you too You don't need to be polite."

"We have left home now, and we probably won't go back in the future..." Wang Zhixiang said, "We will work hard not to rely on our family. Even if we can't continue to study, we will rely on our own money to support our lives."

"Does the family know that you are coming out?" Mu Chenxi's tone was soft, he confirmed what he thought in his heart, and sympathized with them very much.

"I know." Wang Zhixiang said firmly with a resolute face: "My stepmother did not agree with me to study, and after spending all my mother's dowry, I dropped out of school."

The three of them had broken families, which forced them to leave the school, but they always liked reading, and when they heard that this place could help them, they came here without hesitation.

Wang Zhixiang had a firm mind, and it was he who heard about this and notified the other two, and even ran over to see Mu Chenxi from a distance.

They are not in the same village, they studied in the same school before, because they are similar in age and have the same experience, they became best friends.

"I told my father that I still need to study, but he disagreed, so I said I would come out to earn money for myself."

Wang Zhixiang's resolute face showed sadness, "He and his stepmother told me not to go back after leaving."

He wanted to grin, but he couldn't control his sad mood, so he just moved the corners of his mouth symbolically, "I don't want to go back, I just miss my brothers and sisters at home."

Mu Chenxi nodded, then looked at the other two, "What about you, is it the same?"

"He is Chen Dong, the same as me." Wang Zhixiang answered on his behalf, pointing to a thin boy and said: "His name is Xiao Ming, he was shot by his stepfather, and he is worse than us."

Xiao Ming touched the bruise on his skinny cheek, and said in a low voice: "He just punched me, and I ran out. Now I am very worried that he will hit my younger siblings, and I am also afraid of getting them out."

When Mu Chenxi heard his words, his heart became more and more heavy. Such things happened from time to time. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had heard of it.

"How old are you all?" Mu Chenxi asked.

"I am ten or six, and both of them are ten or five. Xiao Ming is the youngest one. He is not in good health."

Wang Zhixiang said, he looked at Xiao Ming with some sympathy, "He was born with dystocia, his mother is fine, his health is not good, because he can't do much work, and he has been beaten and scolded by his stepfather in the past two years, and he is also treated by his children." Bully."

Chen Dong was honest and honest, and comforted Xiao Ming in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, he doesn't dare to do this. Your father's land is in his hands, and he should support you."

Speaking of this, he smiled embarrassedly, there are no such things that should be done.If everything that should be done is done, will Xiao Ming be kicked out, although he was going to leave in the first place.

"You can stay here for as long as you want."

Mu Chenxi said: "Make some money first, and if you don't have enough, I can lend it to you. You don't have to pay back the interest in the future. If you have other difficulties, you can also bring them up. I will try my best to help."

After pondering for a while, he asked again: "Do you want to bring your younger brothers and sisters out? I can help, and they can also live here. Some children aged seven or eight in our village can also make money by spinning thread. You will soon Can make a lot of money."

"Yes, we want to pick it up." Xiao Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped being timid, and said excitedly: "Please help us, please help us?"

Tears flowed down his cheeks. From the miserable eyes, it can be seen that he has suffered a lot of grievances, but now there is a little hope from the numbness just now.

Wang Zhixiang and the others also looked expectantly, looking at Mu Chenxi pleadingly.It can be seen how much they miss their younger siblings, family love!No matter what the environment and situation, you will never be abandoned.

"Of course, but I still have to try them before I can decide how to help you."

Mu Chenxi gave them an idea to secretly take over the younger siblings without telling the family. If the family members were looking for them, he would come forward to help them divide the family, but in the future he would be responsible for a certain amount of support.

If the family is indifferent, or just looking for it symbolically, he will find someone to move out their household registration after a period of time, and arrange for them to break up with their family members.

"What do you think?"

Mu Chenxi still wants to ask for their opinions. After all, they are relatives and have an inseparable blood relationship. He just suggested, "I can do as you request. After all, I don't know the details."

"According to what Mu Juren said." Wang Zhixiang didn't hesitate at all, and the other two also nodded. It seemed that they were very disappointed with the so-called family members.

"Then do it after the new year. You take the people over first, and I will send people to follow. You don't have to be afraid."

Mu Chenxi said, he thought about it again to see if there was anything he missed, and finally said: "Leave a message for them after you leave. If they still have you in their hearts, they will inevitably be anxious. This is a bit inappropriate."

Wang Zhixiang and the others showed an indifferent attitude, "They have a son again, and they treat other people's children better than our own. They may be anxious or relieved that they don't need to see us again."

"Hehe." Mu Chenxi smiled slightly. He also guessed the same way, so he came up with this idea to solve their worries, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate.

"It's okay, just tell them so they can feel at ease." Mu Chenxi told them her thoughts, and said, "You don't want to have anything to do with them anymore, as long as you don't tell them where they are going. As for support, just don't divide the property, it can be broken Fast."

…………

"young married woman."

After making arrangements for Wang Zhixiang and the others, Mu Chenxi walked around the self-study room and walked home when she saw nothing to do, just in time to meet and watch Zhao Huan exiting the alley.

"Where are you going! Be careful."

He took Zhao Huan's hand and carefully supported it, "What is the road slipping out like this? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing his careful look, Zhao Huan smiled, and said softly, "It's 22 today. After the last big episode on 25, I thought I'd close the shop for a vacation. I'm going to talk to shopkeeper Mu about the benefits. Divide up."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Mu Chenxi straightened his clothes without letting go of his hand, "It's really cold these days, so we'll stay at home after finishing these things."

"it is good."

Zhao Huan said with a smile, after working so hard, he should take a good rest for a few days, "You went to the study room, how is it?"

"It's okay, let's talk about it when we get home."

Mu Chenxi felt a little down when thinking of Wang Zhixiang and the others, and had a new understanding of life.

"Oh."

Zhao Huan knew there must be something wrong, so he didn't continue to ask, and smiled lightly, "We haven't come out together for a long time, since you entered the academy, you rarely see each other except in the morning and evening."

"Yes!"

Mu Chenxi looked at the empty street, the bustling scene in the past was blown away by the cold wind, even a few figures occasionally came and went in a hurry, rushing back to the safe haven at home.

"We have already come out today, let's take a stroll for a while."

He clenched Zhao Huan's hand tightly, and the scalding temperature kept them warm all the time.They strolled the streets, enjoying the tranquility of the moment in the cold wind, as if there were only two of each other in the whole world.

They occasionally look at each other and smile, each other is full of emotions, just like a mindless state of mind in love, walking foolishly in the cold winter weather.

The two hot hearts gradually merged, warming each other and warming the whole world. Even the cold wind walked around them, and it was a pity that it could not bring them a bit of coldness.

"young married woman."

Mu Chenxi said suddenly, "It's Muyixuan."

"Ah."

Seeing his somewhat regretful expression, Zhao Huan said amusedly, "We can go out and walk often in the future. Don't you have a month's vacation?"

"Okay." Mu Chenxi nodded and smiled, "I won't be very busy in the future, and I won't have no time to come out together."

…………

"Master, Chenxi."

When Mu Chenxing saw them coming, he said with a smile, "Why are you here so cold? Just let someone inform you if there is something to do. I can go over at any time."

"I'm free for a while and have nothing to do. Let me talk about welfare by the way."

Zhao Huan went inside and sat down, watching some people still go shopping in Muyixuan, he said: "After the 25th big show, not many people come out to buy things, thinking that the shop will be closed for a holiday after the disperse that day."

"Okay." Mu Chenxing said with a smile, "The number of people shopping these days has decreased a lot. Now they are all buying food and going home. Except for some customers in the morning, there are almost no one in the afternoon."

"Ah."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "It's only been a few days since the salary was paid, so it won't be too troublesome to just pay the benefits."

After pondering for a moment, he changed the benefits originally planned to give the apprentices [-] cash, "apprentices will be given [-] cash, and I hope the next year will be smooth. Those who work will be given a tael of silver, and they will have a good year when they go back."

Zhao Huan looked again at Mu Chenyu and the others who were busy entertaining customers in this shop, and said with a smile, "Twelve Liang from the shopkeeper, Chenyu and the others under your command."

"Thank you boss."

Mu Chenxing was not surprised by Zhao Huan's generosity, and he no longer felt sorry for Yin Zi to dissuade him as before.

He just happily said to Zhao Huan and the others: "My father is holding his hands behind his back every day, and dare not raise his head when he scolds my brothers, saying that they can't keep up with one in the whole litter. You must be a good person so that you will be successful in the future. Hahaha."

"That is."

Mu Chenxi agreed and said: "A few cousins, only the big cousin and uncle are like that, so they are valued by others. Everyone in the village praises you, which is incomparable to others."

"Hahaha." Mu Chenxing laughed heartily, "It's still us Chenxi who can talk, the lobby brother loves to listen, hahaha."

Infected by his laughter, Zhao Huan felt refreshed at the same time, "Let's give out some new year gifts, two catties of pork, one catty of brown sugar for each person, and five catties of white flour and five catties of white rice to make a four-in-one gift."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mu Chenxi, "Send some to the students in the self-study room too. These things are nothing to us, but they can have a good year."

"Well, one copy per person."

Mu Chenxi thought about it, so she nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "My wife is amazing, and no one can compare to her ability to make money."

In the past six months, Zhao Huan has earned more than 3000 taels. He had just reconciled accounts with Mu Chenxing at the end of last month, and even Zhao Huan himself was a little surprised.

Mu Chenxing heard what Mu Chenxi said, and immediately agreed: "Everyone praises the master's craftsmanship. The silver is about 1000 taels, which are all custom-made in the county and the prefecture. I earned more than 2000 taels."

"Oh, right."

When Mu Chenxing said this, he patted his forehead again, and said with a smile: "The silver that shopkeeper Xiao just sent for consignment is more than 3000 taels of silver. In addition, I also gave an annual gift. I took the annual gift prepared by the boss Back to the past."

"Ah."

Zhao Huan thought that in the past few days, there should be some movement from shopkeeper Xiao, so he prepared an annual gift in advance, "Do you also take those two large ornaments?"

"I took them away, and I also picked out some of the flowers and plants in the warehouse. There are twelve pieces in total."

Mu Chenxing said, he was hesitant to speak, but he frowned and thought about it, and finally expressed his concern, "They also picked one, so they don't want to go back and carve it themselves?"

"Those are just some common flowers and plants. Take them as you go, and we can make more money."

Zhao Huan smiled indifferently, he knew it would be like this, so he put those decorations on purpose, and told Mu Chenxing that they could take whatever they wanted, and it would be a good thing to sell a few more, and it didn't hinder him in the slightest.

"Yeah, with what you said earlier, I didn't stop it."

Mu Chenxing smiled. He looked at Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi and said, "It's not worthwhile to buy pork. Why don't we buy pigs and kill them ourselves? We can save a lot and earn a meal from slaughtering pigs." eat."

"Row."

Zhao Huan readily agreed, and said with a smile: "Just kill it in the village. The leftover meat happens to be used for Chinese New Year and visiting relatives. You go back and tell the family that we will go back at the end of the year, and we will not eat the rice after killing pigs." gone."

…………

"What happened in the study room today?"

After a busy day, Zhao Huan lay on the bed thinking about it, and asked, "Is it difficult?"

"A little thing."

Seeing that he still remembered, Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "It just affects my mood, so I didn't tell you first."

He told the story again, and sighed: "I'm still inexperienced in the world. Hearing about them and seeing their embarrassment, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"These things are normal, and not encountering them doesn't mean they don't exist."

Zhao Huan said that his own experience was not much better, but fortunately he didn't have any bad family members, so he didn't need to be sad and linger in the family relationship.

"I really wanted to teach their family a lesson, but later I felt it was inappropriate, so I brought the conversation back."

Mu Chenxi thought of her own idea to let them sneak away with the younger siblings, and said with a smile: "You always say that people's hearts are changeable, if I do this, they may be very relieved now, but who can predict what will happen in the future Change, I still won't take this risk!"

"Well, Dawn is great."

Zhao Huan said with a smile that Mu Chenxi could figure it out in time, which really saved him trouble in the future, "Body and blood, these things are very mysterious, and it is impossible to explain them clearly, just like the difficulty of family affairs for upright officials, which is mainly reflected in people's hearts."

"They are suffering now, disappointed with their family, and they don't think it's too much. But if they miss this bone, flesh, blood, and relative in the future, or if their relatives repent, it may be another change."

Zhao Huan recalled some things in his previous life. Some people got help, and even wished to become enemies with their relatives, but later they reconciled as before. Some ungrateful people even resented those who helped them with all their heart.

"If you can't bear it, just help them out of the predicament. As for the matters between their relatives, when they have the ability in the future, they can handle it by themselves."

Zhao Huan told him bluntly that he knew that Mu Chenxi was smart, but he was pure in heart, so it was inevitable that he would be impulsive, "If you need to go out to help, you should stand in a fair position and not let people easily bully them."

"Well, I see."

Mu Chenxi leaned in front of Zhao Huan. With him, she felt at ease, knowing that she would not do anything wrong, and smiled softly, "It's great to have a daughter-in-law!"
