Chapter 44 Some people are happy and some are sad
Early in the morning, when Mu Xiaolu and Wang Lao were still sleeping soundly, Wang Hui used the excuse of asking An to check on the situation.He was really puzzled last night, and he didn't sleep well until midnight.Seeing that neither of them got up, he had to wait outside, peeking at it from time to time, feeling itchy in his heart, wishing that he was the one sleeping next to Mu Xiaolu.
When the red sun shone through the window lattice, Mu Xiaolu woke up, opened his eyes, saw that Elder Wang was also awake, got up, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "I've been unlucky for such a long time, should I change my luck?"
Elder Wang also got up and said, "Don't worry, with my old man around in the future, you don't have to worry about anything."
Mu Xiaolu curled his lips: "Do I still need an old man to take care of me? I can support myself. Just wait and see."
"My grandson really likes you. Because of you, he pushed all the money he got to raise pigs for you. How sincere, you should marry. I will leave all the family property to you."
"It's two different things, isn't it? We're fellow villagers, so that doesn't mean I should marry your grandson? Ah! I'm a man, how can I marry someone? You should keep your good grandson to play by yourself! Also, take care of your grandson." Eldest grandson, don't let him go out and harm others again. If you let me meet him again, I won't be polite!"
"Okay, can I lock him up? This kid should be taught a lesson, otherwise he will end up in big trouble."
Wang Hui pricked up his ears and listened to the chatter between the two in the inner room. They were so close and happy, as if they were the real grandparents.No, Mu Xiaolu didn't respect his grandfather as much as he did himself, he spoke very casually and felt more affectionate.How is this going?
After breakfast, Wang Lao took Mu Xiaolu back to the inner room to talk, when suddenly a servant came in to deliver a letter.Mr. Wang opened the letter and read it, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Wang Hui quickly asked, "Grandfather, what's the matter?"
Wang Lao said calmly: "Concubine Zhou has given birth to a dragon son and has been promoted to Concubine Zhou."
Wang Hui said, "So what?"
"Hehe, no matter what, your elder brother's curse is here." Wang Lao smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid he really won't be able to marry a wife in this life, unless the Zhou family collapses. Alas, there is no good fruit for us. Fortunately, Zhou As always, be cautious, you should be fine."
Wang Hui took a deep breath: "Fall?"
"Hey, the court and the court are one. Why is it impossible to fight? This is a letter from Zhou Xiang. We have to go to the door to congratulate. Needless to say, the whole country will celebrate together. This is the first son of the Holy One. If this dragon son If we can keep it, the wealth of the Zhou family is just around the corner. We can retire now."
Wang Hui wondered: "We are relatives with the Zhou family, and Prime Minister Zhou has always respected you, shouldn't we support each other?"
Mr. Wang snorted and said, "Don't count on getting rich, and you're lucky if you don't get tired. Go tell your elder brother to clean up, let's go to Beijing."
Turning back to Mu Xiaolu, he smiled and said, "Would you like to go to Beijing to play with us?"
Mu Xiaolu quickly shook his head.
The old man suddenly smiled and said: "Look, I treat you closer than my own grandson, so you just recognize me as a grandpa?"
Mu Xiaolu bared his teeth and smiled: "Goodbye old man, I have to go home quickly, I'll play with you when you come back! I still have pigs on the mountain." Want to take advantage of me, what a cunning old man!
Elder Wang said again: "Then how should I reply to Zhao Qing?"
"You just say that the family is not suitable, let him choose another high school." Mu Xiaolu returned while packing the snacks and clothes bought by the servant.
Wang Hui was very depressed when he saw the two of them bickering, but he couldn't intervene.It's just a pity for Zhao Qing, he didn't agree to anyone in the capital who offered to marry him. At that time, Zhao Qing thought that Mu Xiaolu's family was low, and he was absolutely sure of success, but he didn't expect to kick Mu Xiaolu's iron plate.Thinking about it, I laughed secretly, Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing, do you think the general is so incompetent that he can't take down the fortress?It's just that it's really rare, you kid should also taste this taste.
Wang Hui made up his mind to go to Beijing and persuade Zhao Qing to come to propose marriage, and let him suffer the pain of not getting what he asks for.It's fine if Zhao Qing's heart is weak, but if he still thinks about peach leaves, tell him that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, how can you get a beauty if you don't suffer?
Mu Xiaolu packed up and went back first, Wang Lao sent him out and sent a car for people to take him back properly.
When Mu Xiaolu returned to his home in the town, he saw Aunt Jing was waiting for him, so he told about his cousin's affairs, saying that he wanted to check on Zhao Qing again. Aunt Jing had her nephew to call the shots, and felt that her daughter's hard life was finally coming to an end. , very pleased.Thinking of Jing Yuan's parents, she burst into tears again, Tao Ye and Sister Su hurried to persuade them.
Mu Xiaolu took out the specially bought fabric and gave it to the three women, asking them to make some new clothes.Aunt Jing sighed, "Why are you making clothes again? The ones you made before are all fine."
Mu Xiaolu smiled and said, "Nephew will work hard to earn money in the future, so that aunt will wear new clothes every day."
Aunt Jing tapped his forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Even if you earn money, you can't waste it, just save it. It seems that I have to find you a daughter-in-law who can control you. How can such a big spender live?"
Mu Xiaolu said: "It's enough for me to have an aunt to take care of me, but I still need a wife to take care of me, so I still won't marry."
"Little devil, you're so poor-mouthed!" Aunt Jing put down the cloth, went to get half a plate of preserved fruit, and said, "Try it, how does it taste?"
Mu Xiaolu tasted one and said, "Not bad, who made it?"
"It's me." Tao Ye smiled while embroidering.
"Cousin is really talented, whoever marries you is really lucky." Mu Xiaolu unknowingly ate half of the plate of candied fruit, wiped his hands and said, "Should I open a shop to sell candied fruit in the future? Cousin is a good crafter."
"Is it okay?" Taoye's eyes sparkled.
"Okay, definitely. But first, we need to settle the cousin's marriage."
Taoye blushed and lowered her head, and went on to embroider.
Having lunch at noon, Mu Xiaolu held Qiuqiu in his arms, seeing that the child became more and more tender and plump, and also had several white teeth, he said with a smile: "This kid is too noisy, hard work for Sister Su and my aunt and cousin."
The aunt smiled and said, "Oh, what's the hard work? Even in the small town, there are only two children. There are children in the family, it's like a family."
Mu Xiaolu nodded, and then asked Su Lin: "Didn't you say last time that donkeys always turn when they walk? How is it now?"
Su Lin replied: "It's still the same. I think his hoof is broken. Brother Lu, let's go ask Mr. to take a look? You can rely on it for pulling things at home." Finally, the Surin sister and brother did not call Mr. Mu Xiaolu. up.
Mu Xiaolu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm a veterinarian, why should I hire a veterinarian? This money can be saved in the future. Have you finished eating? Now go out and see the donkey."
"Oh, that's good." Su Lin smiled, and immediately got up and followed Mu Xiaolu out. "By the way, the general gave me ten taels of silver." Su Lin took out a large ingot of silver from his bosom and secretly gave it to Mu Xiaolu, "I didn't dare to tell my sister and aunt."
"Why did I give you money?"
"Uh~ let me watch you, and tell him if there is any movement." Surin betrayed Wang Hui without hesitation.
Mu Xiaolu was secretly amused, Wang Hui really worked hard, and gave ten taels as soon as he gave it.Patting Su Lin on the shoulder, he said with a smile: "Go and give the money to Auntie, it will be counted as food expenses, it will not be wasted or spent." Su Lin turned his head and went in and came out again.
Mu Xiaolu pulled the donkey to the side of the tethering post, pinned the post to the donkey's left neck to prevent it from biting back, lifted the donkey's left front hoof, looked at it and said, "Oh, the hoof is rotten, is it okay? Seriously. I never thought of giving it a slap before." Turning around, he ordered: "Go get a spoon, as well as grease, cotton, some hay and a thicker old clothes."
Surin went there for a while, then came back with something, lit hay on the ground as instructed, melted the oil in a spoon and boiled.
Mu Xiaolu took the old clothes and wrapped them around his hands, held the donkey's hooves tightly, and ordered: "Pour the oil on the hooves."
Surin carefully poured the splashing hot oil onto the injured donkey's hoof.The donkey moved a little, and Mu Xiaolu grabbed it vigorously.
After finishing the hoof, use new cotton to block the hoof, then wrap it with a clean cloth and tie it tightly, saying: "After a few days, I will go and nail its paw, you should think about it."
Surin nodded.
After Mu Xiaolu finished his busy work, he went to wash his hands in the big wooden basin under the window, and walked in while humming a little song.With the backing of Mr. Wang, Xiu Qing will not dare to bully him anymore, and life will get better and better, hope is ahead.Take a nap in the afternoon to buy some rapeseed, and try to grow some vegetables in the space first.Some people in the village are already planting rice, so I will go and have a look tomorrow.
While walking, I saw a large clump of Chinese rose flowers blooming under the window outside my house, so I picked up two blooming big roses and took them to the house to put in a vase.Life is about having a little fun.
But there are two people in Beijing who are worrying.
One is Xiu Qing.I went to Zhou Xiang's house to visit, and returned to the Hou's mansion, feeling extremely depressed.Although Zhou Xiang said that he could renew after the filial piety period, Mr. Wang resolutely refused to agree, which made Xiu Hou, who has always played with flowers, want to go crazy.Sigh, look at the original Jing Yuan and the current Mu Xiaolu, they are more and more energetic, more attractive than the original soft and white appearance, it really makes people feel itchy, how can I be so confused, when I put him Evicted?If you don't drive it out, you'll still be enjoying it with your arms around the beauty.well!If someone else gets it, there is still something to think about, and it is not difficult to coax him back by relying on his appearance, but his brother is attracted to him, and he can't afford to offend him.It looks like you can't eat it.
Xiu Qing lay on the couch tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.A servant came in with a large bunch of roses to put in the vase. Xiu Qing suddenly thought that Jing Yuan liked roses the most. He took one and put it under his nose to smell it. He was a little dazed. Did he miss something?
Another one who couldn't sleep was Zhao Qing.Ever since my marriage proposal was repeatedly rejected, I have been wondering.It wasn't until Wang Hui came to look for him that he found out that Mr. Wang failed to come forward, and he was completely discouraged.
Wang Hui said with a smile: "Why, such a little difficulty can stump you? If you look at me, the general, you should cheer up. He is just afraid that you will think his family's status is low and look down on him, and he is also afraid that you will take his cousin as a concubine in the future. If you are wronged, can you show your sincerity? It is easier to chase a woman than a man."
As soon as Zhao Qing heard this, he really came to his senses and felt that there was hope again, so he and Wang Hui secretly planned a new plan to chase his wife.It's just that the journey is far away, and it's not easy to go there once. There will be delays in going back and forth. After a while, I'm afraid they will find a suitable family and marry them.What a problem.
