"Nope!" Peach Blossom's face was red with anger. "Hmph, that annoying old woman is saying she's going to be my daughter-in-law. My mother said that I'll earn as much as my big brother in a month. Why would she ask me to be her daughter-in-law? Ahh!"

Child daughter-in-law? Mu Rousang really did not think that this would happen to her, "Your mother will definitely not agree to it!" Qin Er was not blind, she could earn a dowry with her peach blossoms, and there was only one daughter in the family who was in so much pain.

Peach Blossom proudly raised her small face, shining under the spring sun. "Hmph, you're right, call for my mother to give a broom and sweep her out of the courtyard. "My mother said that the matchmaker was heartless. Everyone said that her conscience had been eaten by a dog and that she had done all sorts of wicked things for the sake of money."

Mu Rousang laughed and pinched her pink cheeks: "Alright, Peach Blossom, your mother wouldn't marry you out so quickly." With the embroidery skills she taught, Peach Blossom could make a pretty thick dowry in the future with her skills.

While the two of them were deep in conversation, Qin Er had already put oil into the pot of meat slices. The fragrant oil aroma wafted far away.

"Second Aunt, what are you cooking? It smells so good!" a helper shouted as he picked up a brick.

"Haha, Second Aunt, Goudan is panicking from the smell of this oil." The other picked at the brick.

Qin Er stood in front of the stove with his hands on his hips and shouted at them, "Hurry up and get back to work.

The pigs fed with rice grains were especially fragrant, unlike the pigs fed with earthworms in the modern era. The pork all had an unpleasant fishy smell.

"Rou Sang, you're really ruthless. I'm afraid that in this entire village, only the food that your family provides to the helpers is this good. It's not worse than the lives of the rich."

The Qin Er felt her flesh ache as she looked at the meat pieces rolling in the pot. The Mu Rousang siblings had brought it up well this time, but she could not resist the temptation to lecture her, afraid that Mu Rousang would spend all her money and earn more.

Mu Rousang only smiled, her gaze landed on the group of busy men, the owner would treat them well, and they would repay the boss for their kindness. only laughed, her gaze fell upon the group of men who were working, and if the boss treats them well, they would repay the boss for their kindness.

The rice pot was boiling. "Peach blossom, quick, bring some firewood to the stove on the other side." Qin Er used the fence to fish up the rice. The fire was almost gone, but there was no need for it.

"Second Aunt, remember to leave some rice oil behind." Mu Rousang warned Qin Er when she smelled the fragrance.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already prepared it. I've already prepared the bamboo cups, and I will keep a big bowl of rice oil for you. However, this rice oil is filled with a fragrant rice fragrance, it is indeed delicious."

Mu Rousang had liked to drink it in her previous life, so the rice oil that Qin Er spoke of was rice soup: "Second Aunt, rice oil is not worse than humans."

Qin Er did not believe him at all, he shook his head: "Ginseng is a precious treasure, how could normal people eat it, this is just rice oil, it's just boiled rice water."

"Second Aunt, don't believe me when I say it. In the? Compendium of Herbs?, it is written: Rice oil can be used for cultivation, has a good taste, can nourish the Yin and increase the strength of the body. To the physically weak, its effect is no different from ginseng soup."

Qin Er did not understand, but it had the same effect as ginseng soup, so she understood the words, "It can't be! Is it really that effective? "

Chungen's daughter-in-law came over and asked: "Sang, Sang girl, is that really the same as what you said? Is that really what it says in the book? "

Okay, Mu Rousang helplessly rolled her eyes, so what was written in the books in front of them could actually be believed.

"Yes, indeed."

Chungen's daughter-in-law pointed to Ergou, who was nearby, somewhat embarrassed. He walked a few steps with a pale and thin face and said, "Sang girl, you are a knowledgeable person, I will believe anything you say. Can you help me take a look?"

Mu Rousang was exasperated but she was not a doctor. "Sister Spring Root, you insist on giving him a big bowl of rice soup every day. I think Second Gouzi's body will slowly recover."

"Is that so? The doctor said that his body is too weak and he is a rare disease, but our family cannot afford to buy ginseng. " His wife was the stepmother of Ergou-zi, and she seemed to be treating him well.

Mu Rousang nodded her head, "Sister Spring Root, just remember to give him some before dinner." After the meal, the absorption was not as good as before. "Look at the changes that my brother and I have undergone in the past year. My family drinks rice soup every day."

Now that she was raised so white and rosy, the Chungen's daughter-in-law completely believed her.

In the time it took to talk, Qin Er quickly fried up the meat. Qin Taohua blinked her eyes as she swallowed her saliva.

Qin Er looked at his daughter with a funny expression, then looked at Mu Rousang who was at the side. Finally, he said: "Wait a bit, dinner will start in a bit."

Qin Taohua only nodded, she was still staring at the meat, and at the end she bit her lips and lowered her head, trying not to look, but the smell of the meat continued to seep into her nose, teasing her.

Qin Er placed the vegetables he had just washed into the pot, letting out a sizzling sound: "Rou Sang, your family is really willing to part with these vegetables. I heard that only in the county could you buy some of these vegetables, and only those rich families can afford to eat them."

"Second Aunt, I was just thinking of calling everyone over to help before the first month, so I asked that young master to bring some vegetables over."

Mu Rousang once again pushed the blame to Yang Zixuan, who was sneezing loudly in the capital city. Who would think so of him?

After stir-frying the vegetables, which still had some floating oily vegetable soup in them, Qin Er really knew how to maintain his home. He added two ladles of water directly into the pot, added some salt, and sprinkled the dried pickled vegetables that had long been soaked in boiling water into the pot. After covering the pot with the water and opening the lid, a light, salty and fragrant smell drifted out, followed by some chopped onions and flowers.

"It's so fragrant, Second Aunt!" It was Mu Rousang's first time seeing salted vegetables that could do this.

Qin Er laughed, "Besides being able to make meat, dried pickled vegetables with oil from the pot will have a very good taste."

In the past, Mu Rousang did not have any fish to eat in her house, but later on, she had fish for every meal.

It wasn't that she was being hypocritical. For someone who had only been told about the appearance of the young plants by his mother in his previous life, how much could he expect her to understand in the countryside?

Only after 15 years had passed did the temperature of the place start to thaw. Several people crowded around the stove to cook the big pot of rice. They were all sweating profusely.

Earlier, after greeting Master Zhang, Mu Jinzhi and the little donkey carriage went to the town to buy ingredients, causing Mu Rousang to become dizzy. It was only on Qin Er's reminder that he did not have much left, and he had just returned from the town.

He had already dug up half of the foundation in the morning, so he nodded in satisfaction. The more people there were, the easier it would be to manage it, and by the time the sun set, the foundation would be ready.

"Brother, you're back! Drink some water!" Mu Rousang watched his brother check the progress of the project from afar with his hands behind his back.

At this time, Mu Jinzhi's mood was even more brilliant than the spring sunshine in March. He quietly asked Mu Rousang: "Are we really going to build a two-in-one courtyard?"

Mu Rousang nodded her head: "Brother, it's true!"

Mu Jinzhi took the bowl of tea and drank it up, then used his hands to wipe the water stains off his mouth and anxiously said: "Little sister, quickly pinch Big Brother, don't tell me you're dreaming right?"

"Pfft!" Mu Jinzhi, who was always quick-witted and underhanded, had such an idiotic moment as this as well.

Mu Rousang accepted the bowl of tea and laughed: "Of course it's real. Alright, hurry up and bring the seasonings down to the Qin Er."

Mu Jinzhi touched his face innocently, "Little sister, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fall asleep from the night's fun."

A secondary courtyard! He had only seen it in the town before, when his father had told him that it was the house of a big family in the town.

"Brother!" Mu Rousang suddenly shouted.

Mu Jinzhi laughed as he turned his head around and laughed foolishly, "What's the matter?"

Mu Rousang laughed: "Nothing!" She suddenly felt that if Mu Jinzhi were to live in the fourth or fifth place, she might not be as happy as she was right now. Therefore, she didn't say it out loud in the end.

There were not enough tables in the house, so the Qin Er sent people to bring some kitchen tables over.

There were four tables in total. There were not many dishes on the table. There was a fried meat with garlic, a vegetable dish and a pot of boiling broth.

"Tsk tsk, we really have some good luck today. Our friends have met a good boss."

All the helpers who had been busy the whole morning were gulping down their saliva in envy. They had eaten some people in the past two days of the new year, and since the people from the village came and sold cabbages, the food in the house was much better. Other helpers from other villages had their eyes glued to the food.

Mao Dazhang was right, the working people's power was quite valiant. There were not many dishes, and they could not bear the weight. Like locusts that crossed the border, they carried out a three-way policy, the light from the dishes, the light from the rice, and, uh, the light from the tea.

Mu Rousang was bending over to pick up the rice bowls from the table. They were really clean, she thought that if she did not wash, and brought them out for dinner, no one would notice!

While she was lost in her thoughts, a figure appeared in front of her.

"Little Sang, let me help you!" It was unknown when Mu Yiyang arrived by her side.

Mu Rousang said with a sullen face: "Alright!"

Ever since Mu Jinzhi was busy all the way until now, he had kept Mu Yiyang in mind every single day. Now, not only was he able to recite the "Younger Brother Rules", he was also able to speak and act with a lot of determination.

"Little Sang, don't worry. My parents definitely won't dare to mess around anymore. I'm not relying on them to raise me now, so even if I have to return the favor of giving birth, I don't need to listen to my parents." Mu Yiyang whispered to her.

His goodwill naturally pleased Mu Rousang, and the Finance Minister finally gave Mu Yiyang a smile, so beautiful that even his steps were floating.

Compared to last year, Mu Yiyang had improved a lot, and was no longer as sissy as before. After understanding more about how to read, he also understood that it was impossible to listen to his parents' orders.

Mu Rousang nodded his head: "yang-ge, after this year's spring ploughing, you will follow brother to the Academy. When we get back, brother will find the village head to write a letter of recommendation to you, you must not forget how good we are to you, siblings, and if not for you being a good person, we would not even bother to take care of it." Giving her a sweet potato was something she needed to beat up along the way. Unknowingly, Mu Rousang had already started to learn the way of the throne.

"Yes, yes!" Mu Yiyang tried his best to please her, as he was afraid that his cousin would be angry again.

"Jin'zi, Sang girl, look who's here!" When the Village Chief saw this bustling scene, he was filled with envy and excitement. Their village had finally broken away from its lowest position in the village. Even a small mountain village like the village could have a rich person.

The village chief's loud voice startled Mu Rousang. He turned around, and saw Mu Jinzhi bowing to him: "Greetings, Sir Li Zheng!"

The youngest of the whole dynasty's level nine sesame seed officials, Sir Li Zheng.

"Sir Li Zheng, you've come. I was wondering why you heard the cry of the magpie this morning!" Mu Rousang, a little girl, spoke so brusquely that everyone around her burst out into laughter.

"Hehe, I heard from my kid that your family moved the soil to build a house today, so I came over with him to take a look."

Only now did the two siblings realise that Wei Anping was hiding behind Li Zheng.

Wei Anping was a typical pale-faced scholar. "Brother Mu, Miss Mu!"

Damn, he was still a brother to her brother, but when he came to her, he became a "small"!

"My son, this classmate of yours is pretty good!" I heard that you guys have taken Liu Xiucai as your godfather, and they are your wife's family from now on. "
