C84

When Aunt Wang Cai saw that she was already in a daze, she immediately reached out to support her. "Miss, you don't have to instruct me on this matter, my wife will also carefully inspect it.

Mu Rousang nodded and entered the room. She woke up too early today, she had been busy from the morning until now and was almost dead from sleep, so she did not need Aunt Wang Cai's help when she entered the room.

Wang Cai's family sat in main courtyard and chatted, "The child's father, I think the master of this family is not bad."

Wang Cai was chopping wood with a machete, he was preparing to make a few hoes: "Hmm, this one looks kind, I don't know if the other one is friendly or not."

Granddad was drinking hot tea on the side. Not only has our family paid off our debts, we can also eat our fill and sleep in peace, it's just that we are now a lowly household. Some of us were half wrong, and after hearing his son's words, we said: "No matter what, our lives will be much better than before."

Aunt Wang Cai was the happiest: "Father, the child's father, the lady in the kitchen just told me to cook a cooked egg for Shi Shu every day. In addition, we can eat and work hard every seven days."

Wang Cai thought for a while, then said: "Today we are going to eat fine rations at noon, although master did not say it, we should also have a good night's sleep."

"I saw that everyone was starving, but I didn't see any coarse food in the kitchen." Aunt Wang Cai thought back carefully. She had indeed turned the tables around, and there were two big bowls of rice in the house, one for each white rice and one for the smaller ones.

"I saw that the rice was as white as snow and soft and fragrant. That's not a normal luxury. My wife, Master didn't say that I can't eat this kind of expensive food."

With Sun Cheng Si's words, Wang Cai's sister-in-law felt that it was a pity. However, after thinking about it again, she decided not to say anything more as the rice was more expensive than the normal brown rice.

When Mu Rousang woke up, the sun was already setting. She snuggled under the blanket and stretched a bit before realizing that she did not have any extra blankets at home, quietly locking the door from inside the blue chiffon cabinet. Then, she moved into the space.

After quickly processing the six quilts, he left the space and came to the bed. He then folded the quilts and took out the six quilts. Looking at the quilt on the bed, he waved his hand and took out a purple sandalwood and a black one.

He went around to the back of the bed and opened the door. In the small storage room, there were two wooden shelves on both sides of the wall, and there was a two-meter-long table with two red lacquered boxes on top. Her house didn't have much stuff, and now she had enough for her personal storage.

On another wooden shelf, there was only a small box. It was where Mu Rousang used to store the silver from, she took out the remaining 12 taels of silver from her spatial space, then took out a lot of different colored cotton cloth and placed them neatly on the wooden shelf, then she covered the curtain that was nailed outside.

After locking the door to the storage room, she walked to the West Interval, opened the window and called out to the courtyard: "Aunt Wang Cai, come over here for a while."

At this time, Wang Cai's wife was sitting on the West Side Room's corridor sewing clothes. Hearing Mu Rousang's voice, she hurriedly put down the needle and thread she was holding, "Miss, why don't you wake up and call me a servant?"

Mu Rousang laughed: "You can come in first!"

When Aunt Wang Cai entered the room, she pointed to the quilt on the bed and said, "Hurry up and help me out. The other black one is used in the house to make clothes, so you should pull it out for each person a few times and sew two sets for each person. "

When Aunt Wang Cai looked at the new white quilt and touched the soft cotton, she felt that it was much better to be a servant than to be forced to live by herself at home.

"Thank you, young lady. I will carry the blanket out first."

"En, you can call Uncle Wang Cai to support the door while you're at it."

Aunt Wang Cai quickly responded: "He has already gone to orchard seed. My father went to the gatehouse to guard him."

"Then look who's going to help you raise the wooden door. You have to sew a few sheets quickly, otherwise you won't have a cover tonight."

Aunt Wang Cai carried a blanket out of the room and went to the gatehouse to get her father-in-law to help her.

"Miss, my father just mentioned that he would like to go with Wang Cai to the mountains to chop some trees to build a chicken coop. He wanted to ask if Miss would like to use bamboo or wood."

Mu Rousang thought about it, then remembered that the chickens in the backyard would also come together. "Un, build a log, and also tell them that if they find strawberry seeds on the grass, remember to bring them back."

She remembered that she could plant some strawberries in the little western grove, as well as give them a toothpick.

In the afternoon, Wang Cai's wife had sewed three sets of blankets and cut out two sets of clothes to cover herself. She then returned the rest of the clothes back to him.

That night, when Mu Jinzhi returned home, he was told by Mu Rousang, "Big Brother, from now on, Shi Shu will follow you. He will be your page in the future."

Mu Jinzhi nodded, but felt that something was amiss: "What about sister?" Didn't he have a bookkeeper and a servant girl?

Mu Rousang laughed: "I'm just at home left and right, isn't Aunt Wang Cai home anyway? If there's anything, just tell her. " Wuu wuu, the most important thing was that her family was running out of silver.

Her answer made Mu Jinzhi more satisfied.

"Oh right, did the Manager Wu send someone to rush you?"

Mu Jinzhi did not forget that his own family had grown up relying on those vegetables, so naturally, he would not be able to forget about it.

"Brother, don't worry. The last time Manager Wu came over to congratulate us, he already left a message. This year, he will send someone to purchase it. I believe it will be in the next few days."

These few days, Mu Rousang was too busy to look at the vegetable seedlings behind the house. On the second day after planting the trees, she put the half grown vegetables on the ground.

After Mu Jinzhi heard this, he did not say anymore, "Little sister, our family is not short on food or clothes, just consider embroidery to be a waste of time."

Mu Rousang nodded her head obediently, her family was really poor now, of course she couldn't tell Mu Jinzhi about this matter yet, she could only take out the newly bought swords and daggers: "Brother, you usually go out and bring daggers to protect yourself, this sword will be used for training in the morning."

Mu Jinzhi's eyes lit up, "This must be expensive!" Although the imperial court didn't explicitly ban the possession of swords, it was still too difficult to obtain.

"It's alright, I bought it when I bought the farm tools today. Brother, how did yang-ge perform in class?"

Mu Rousang didn't want to waste time talking about this, so she decided to direct the topic to Mu Yiyang.

Mu Jinzhi lovingly placed down the sword in his hand: "En, after school, I asked my foster father about it, he said that Yi Yang's foundation is not bad, and now he is at the top of the Enlightenment class."

After hearing this, she also thought that it should be this way. "Fortunately, we've already given him quite a few supplementary lessons last year. This way, the enlightenment class won't be that difficult and he'll be able to keep up with my godfather's lessons."

She was afraid that Mu Yiyang would be tired from not being able to attend class.

"You're the one who worries too much. Be careful, you might become an old woman before you get married."

"Bro ~ ~ ~"

Spring rain began to fall outside the room, gently patting the tiles in a soft and gentle manner to bring up the joyous music. Many oil lamps shone in the room, reflecting the two small heads on the windows of the study.

Mu Jinzhi was in high spirits when he heard the rain outside. "Sister, it's raining outside!"

Mu Rousang looked at him strangely: "En!"

Mu Jinzhi laughed: "Little sister, don't you think this house is good? Not a drop of rain will float in. "

Oh! Mu Rousang suddenly laughed happily: "Big brother, this time, there's no need to rush around everywhere to fetch the rainwater."

"The glazed roof tiles are really useful. You don't have to worry about the rain leaking at all." Mu Jinzhi laughed unhappily, and two dimples appeared on his little face.

The next day, Shi Shu rushed Mu Jinzhi home from school with his little donkey cart. Mu Rousang had just gotten up to eat breakfast.

Wang Cai came in from outside: "Miss, I saw the fruit forest yesterday, I told you about the situation in the garden last night, his hometown said that you only need to dig out the weeds first."

Mu Rousang nodded her head, looking at the afternoon: "Uncle Wang Cai, tell Shi Shu to look at the gatehouse first, I'm afraid that orchard seed will have to look for himself, I do not know how to do this, if there is anything I need, just report it to me."

Wang Cai laughed: "Miss, for the time being, I do not need anything. If you do not have any other instructions, I will go with father to the mountains to cut down the trees."

"En, hurry up and go. Come back for lunch at noon. I'll bring you to the fields for a look in the afternoon."

Mu Rousang thought about how she did not go to the fields yesterday to take a look, and how her own land had also become like that. "Oh yeah, it rained spring rain last night, you guys should be careful up the mountain."

Wang Cai felt that this young lady was much easier to speak with than the young master before, "Yes, I will definitely not delay young lady's time."

Mu Rousang sent Wang Cai away, then opened the door of West Side Room's second room and took out a piece of cured meat, a piece of dried fish and a dried rabbit. Seeing that there were still quite a few left, she nodded and locked the door, feeling satisfied.

Shi Shu was using a broom to clean in main courtyard.

Mu Rousang touched her small bag and laughed: "Shi Shu, spring is more busy, wait two more months, you should follow my brother to school everyday, normally my brother will teach you a few words at Mu Court."

Shi Shu was very satisfied with his current life. There was a new blanket, and he was wearing it with the New clothes.

"Young lady, I will definitely treat young master well."

Mu Rousang nodded, he could understand so far but not so far.

Carrying these things, he walked through the stone door into the courtyard with the kitchen.

Wang Cai's wife was washing her clothes by the well outside the kitchen. When she saw coming over, she immediately stood up to take the things in her hands.

Mu Rousang only smiled. Her family didn't have much money, she had to eat an old one, so naturally she couldn't keep the key to the West Side Room's food storehouse for Wang Cai's wife.

"Since I have nothing better to do, I'll carry it over myself. From now on, I'll wash the silk and cotton separately, but for those of a lighter color, I won't wash them with my dark clothes."

Wang Cai's wife looked at the washbasin with embarrassment. Before, she did not even wear cotton clothes, let alone silk clothes.

Mu Rousang comforted her with a bland smile: "If there's nothing, it's because I didn't explain it to you. If there's anything that you don't understand or don't know how to handle, you can just come and ask me."

"Yes, girl, I'll hang up the meat and separate everything you said." It was no wonder that she had seen several wooden pots in the room where the items were kept. They were meant to be used for washing clothes.

"What would you like for lunch?"

Mu Rousang looked at the kitchen: "Big brother isn't at home, just casually get me some!"

It was not like the servants would eat at the same table as her. It was a bit boring to eat alone, so when she thought of this, she suddenly thought of Peach Blossom's chattering mouth.

"I'm going to Qin Er's house to play. I'll come back for lunch!"

After Mu Rousang finished instructing her wife, she took her needle basket to the Peach Blossom Home.

Mu Rousang had just one foot across the gate when her sharp eyes noticed her. "Rou Sang, quickly come over and look. My mother bought me a new silk flower!"

Qin Taohua was sitting at the foot of the stone steps, fiddling with the two pink silk flowers in her hands.

"It's really pretty. It's quite suitable for peach blossoms."

She helped Qin Taohua put the silk flower closer to her head. "So it turns out that our Peach Blossom is already a big girl.

"Rou Sang, I used to think that the one I liked the most was your brother, but your brother always ignored me and there was also the Fuguo. Every time Mom gave me pocket money, she would exchange it for sesame sugar s to eat. However, he will give me some each time. " After which, he turned to the entrance of the courtyard with a smile.
