C75

It did not smell like the sour books on Wei Anping's body, and its way of speaking sounded even more intimate. No wonder it could climb up to the position of the smallest officer with the greatest authority.

From the looks of it, she was here on purpose, it was also true that Mu Rousang had built a house with her big hands, and her second courtyard was not worse than her house, can't you come over and take a look?

"All of you, go ahead. I'm just taking a casual look."

Mu Rousang winked at her brother, then she went into the house and brought out some pastries that she made herself.

She arranged the snacks in the living room before calling for everyone to come in: "Young Master Wei, Uncle Li Zheng, Village Head Grandpa, come take a seat."

Then, with Qin Taohua's help, she served him some tea. This cup was not a thick mortar used as a helper outside, it was a blue and white porcelain tea set.

"Yo, today I owe it to my lord to drink the chrysanthemum tea personally brewed by Sang girl."

A pot of boiling water was poured into the pot. As the fog rose, the tea leaves in the pot began to stretch, and the faint fragrance of chrysanthemum and tea wafted out from the pot. It lacked a tinge of vulgarity, adding a tinge of transcendence.

Wei Anping unknowingly gave her another glance, as the green mist slowly rose, revealing Mu Rousang's charming and innocent appearance that was somewhat illusory under the mist of tea, and so unreal.

Mu Rousang picked up the cup that she had just washed, and used the boiling water to heat it up once, then poured the hot tea from the teapot into the cup, "Here, try and taste what I have brewed, it's all made personally, I hope everyone will forgive me."

The light gold tea was so clear that it could be seen through to the bottom. He was overwhelmed in his heart, a village girl that had no parents to teach her, actually waited so politely. It was no wonder that Gui Zhi praised her so much, he had looked down on her previously.

The hustle and bustle outside did not extend to this small hut. Even Li Zhengzheng felt a sense of anticipation for the farmland.

"Village Chief Zhao, this is the first time your village has paid all of the administrative taxes this year. I'm guessing that your village's days will be a lot better."

Li Zheng's words made the village head and the Mu siblings nervous. If he wanted to interfere, even the village head could not do anything.

As if he had guessed what the two of them were thinking, Li Jun leisurely finished the cup of tea, "This tea tastes pretty good. Without the bitterness of the green tea and the fragrance, it must be the chrysanthemum mentioned by Village Chief Zhao. This little girl's cooking skills are quite good."

"I hope Sir Li Zheng will not take offense to something from the mountains." Mu Rousang said shamelessly. She wasn't afraid of death because she was a bright and dazzling female lead, the one who would live for a long time and laugh the last, so she, who was afraid of death, would treat everyone with the word "official" carefully.

He then slowly said: "I heard that your village's cabbages have been taken away by someone, that's a good thing. Don't worry, I won't be envious of these thing, at least you have jurisdiction over them."

The two siblings looked at each other. They finally understood that they wouldn't force their way through the matter of pickled vegetables.

The Village Chief smiled. "It's all thanks to the two siblings. Our village has gotten rid of the poor village's earthen hat, and even a few old bachelors have spoken with confidence."

That's right, the poorer the family, the more cabbages they grew. Other than keeping the vegetables for their own use, they basically sold all of them to the Mu Family.

For the first time, the village chief straightened his back. Finally, this year, he didn't have to worry about the taxes on the corv?e or the old bachelors in the village.

Mu Jinzhi shook his hands and said, "There is no need for that. It is all thanks to the protection of the village head and Sir Li Zheng that I was able to peacefully stay in the small mountain village."

"Did your uncle come to cause any trouble today?"

What was the purpose of the Village Head raising this issue? However, once there was a ladder, Mu Rousang climbed up it. "Sigh, Village Head Grandpa, I have been worrying too much about it. I have been worrying about it all day, afraid that the two of them might cause trouble here."

This was a taboo in the village. If someone came here to cause trouble every day, they would be hated to death by the main clan, because this meant that once the main clan entered a new house, they would not be able to live in peace.

Li Zheng frowned, "It's this kind of shitty matter again. Did your uncle's family bully you?"

The village chief immediately told him what happened this past year. Mu Rousang's family had obviously recognized the Liu Xiucai as their godfather, Wei Anping was their son-in-law, and Mu Jinzhi was a person that they could make, they were naturally on the same side as him.

"Don't worry. Seeing how many helpers you have, are you planning to raise your head on the second day of the second month?"

Mu Jinzhi sneaked a glance at him and said: "Yes, little brat, you have flipped through the Chinese calendar, after spring, this day will be the best."

At that time, I will definitely come to congratulate you. Coincidentally, I am friends with the circumferential rapidity in the county magistrate court, and he has been staying in the town for a long time. I will go and ask him to come drink with me.

Li Zheng's words were very obvious.

The siblings were overjoyed. "Thank you, Sir Li Zheng, for your help."

"Hehe, since you guys are here to help Little Shan Village, I have to help them out. If something good happens in the future, I can't forget about the surrounding villages. No matter what, they are under Uncle Wei's jurisdiction."

Righteous Noble was originally rich, and what he needed right now was political achievements and a decent amount of face. Mu Rousang's actions were no different from putting on airs for him.

"Li Zheng, the two Mu siblings haven't forgotten. At the end of last year, I only took a hundred thousand jin of work, and gave forty thousand jin of work to the surrounding villages." The Village Chief quickly explained.

How could Li Zheng not understand, years ago, when he heard about it, he only thought it was a small matter, and this year when he collected the administrative taxes, he found out that he was the first to complete them, County had many rewards for the first place.

"Hmm, work hard. Our villages have all been blessed by you two. Oh yeah, do you know where that young master is from?"

Was he trying to find out the background of the other party? The siblings shook their heads. The two of them weren't sure, and even if they knew, they wouldn't easily let others know where Yang Zixuan had come from.

"We also met by chance, and the young master came to help us buy some cabbages. The two of us tried our best, but fortunately, the lord was very satisfied, so if he needed more in the future, he would probably come looking for us."

Although Xiao Tong had left for a good business, it had been inconvenient for him to travel during the new year. Yang Zixuan did not bring any news, so he did not dare to guarantee Xiao Tong's return.

Li Zheng nodded his head. It seemed that he still could not confirm whether or not there were more cabbages. "If he has any news, you can ask him. If he had explained it earlier, you could have planted more in winter."

Mu Rousang and the others did not plan to expose the true meaning behind her words, they were actually in a different position. The questions on the examination were different, from her own point of view, she only needed to make the small mountain village richer, and she would do her best if there was a child in her house who could read a book.

"I will definitely remember your advice!" Mu Jinzhi's reaction made everyone very satisfied. As the saying goes, it's not strange for there to be so many people who want to pay respects. When Mu Rousang was bidding farewell to Wei Pingan, he even gave two boxes of snacks to the Village Chief, and got two boxes.

"Uncle Wei, Village Head Grandpa, I have nothing to do with these breads, bring them back for a taste."

The village chief was rather thick-skinned after all. He was a bit embarrassed after having eaten so much. His purpose in coming here was so odd, but now, he was offering a snack instead.

"Li Zheng, just take it. This girl has been tormenting herself quite a bit."

The village chief took the dessert box from Mu Rousang and placed it in his bosom, then said his goodbyes to the two siblings.

"Brother, we need about two hundred silver to build a courtyard. We spent fifty silver on land last year, and now we still have one hundred and twenty silver, other than fifty silver to add to the furniture, we still have seventy silver left."

"What?" Does it cost that much silver to build a house? " How could he not feel pain? Just by building a slightly larger courtyard, the silver flowed out like a river.

Mu Jinzhi picked up the Accounts and looked at it for a while before sighing, "Money is really not enough, let your left hand in and right hand out. Little sister, don't forget to place some tables of noodles in front of us when the day comes."

"Mm, we'll talk about it after we build the courtyard. I calculated the cost, but there should be some discrepancies."

Only then did Mu Rousang realize that she had miscalculated. If the money really wasn't enough, she would just move some ingredients out from the spatial space.

After half a month, Mu Rousang's house finally had a new appearance. Thanks to her family's good food, all of the helpers were fully fed and worked extremely hard.

When it was the second day of the second month of the Lunar New Year, Mu Rousang's heart was finally at ease. During this half a month, Mu Jinzhi had been whispering in her ears, worried that she would not be able to catch up with this day and miss a good day.

The day on the beam was very particular. Not only were the days good, but they also had to look at the time, choosing to light the beam at the right time.

Mu Rousang and Mu Rousang had woken up early, and the two temporarily stayed in the east wing room.

The three people who helped the kitchen came early in the morning to help out, "Yo, why did you prepare the sesame sugar? Qin Er looked at Shau Kei who was beside Mu Rousang with her sharp eyes.

Mu Rousang moved out of the way and showed it to the three girls. "Second Aunt, it's not easy to be a house.

Qin Er stretched out his hand to rummage through the Shao Keji's candy and pastries. "Let's go knead noodles. We made an entire night yesterday, so we should be able to finish it today."

Mu Rousang heaved a sigh of relief. She had been busy this whole time, and the baby fat that she and Mu Jinzhi had spent so much effort to save was back to before liberation.

"Thank you for your hard work Second Aunt, Big Aunt, Sister-in-Law Chungen. Master Zhang said that it would be best if you could choose when it's time to eat. We still have to prepare some gold and silver buns quickly."

Gold and silver steamed buns were fried and steamed buns.

When they were ready, one of Master Zhang's disciples came in and brought out the cold steamed bun.

The courtyard was crowded with men, women, and children. It was extremely noisy, and one of the men shouted loudly, "Top beam, top beam, everything is fine, a rich flower is blooming!"

Mu Jinzhi had already picked up a string of firecrackers with his thin bamboo pole earlier on, and when he heard the shouts, he immediately extended the incense in his hands out, and the sound of firecrackers rang out.

A group of men followed, shouting, "Up, up, up!"

Mu Rousang followed the crowd and saw that Master Zhang had already set up a ladder and was standing at the side singing "Up to the Beams". The few men who were preparing to go up the ladder were all drinking "Lu Ban Wine".

After the alcohol was drunk, two of the muscular men carried a large beam with the picture of a dragon and a pearl on it. One of the beads was a taiji symbol. At this moment, the two of them were stepping on a ladder.

Master Zhang sang while paying his respects to Da Liang, "A toast to the head. Two glasses of wine to toast the waist, congratulating the main house on its torrential waters. "Three cups of wine to toast the end, from now on, you will be rich and prosperous."

When they were done, they would be the most lively "Liang Long". The two men who were standing on the long ladder caught the two men who passed them the large straw dustpan, which was precisely the two that Mu Rousang had prepared earlier.

The two then handed over the two sheaves to the two carpenters sitting at the head and tail of the beam respectively.

"What a waste!" With a shout from the brawny man, all the adults and children in the village crowded into the main hall. With a roar, all the adults and children in the village squeezed into the main hall.

"Fling, stand still and don't move!" The brawny man let out a roar, obviously afraid of hurting them.

The carpenters at Liang Tou first threw it to the main house. They sang, "I will throw gold to you for sprinkling silver. Congratulations to the main house for being rich and prosperous. Please ask if the main house is rich!"

Mu Rousang was still feeling dizzy. Unknowingly, she had already squeezed to the side of the beam pillar.

The carpenter sang again, "May I ask if the main house wants gold or silver?"
