Isn"t it? He was only five years old then, right? How could he remember everything so clearly? Mu Rousang was very surprised.Perhaps seeing what she was thinking, he smiled wryly and told her, "I don"t have a deep impression of her. I only found out after I grew up." At that time, he was very curious as to why the beautiful aunt who brought food to visit him was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother, we have to go to uncle"s house?"
"En!"
Mu Rousang thought that if she did not go, her Eldest Uncle and his family would not know how to defend against the two siblings.
"Then let"s go after lunch!" She didn"t want to be sick of herself, so she ate comfortably at home.
After eating lunch, the siblings cleaned up the place and brought a rabbit that was raised by the family to Mu Yun"s home. They were the rabbits that Mu Rousang caught in the spring, and he bought one to grow. She gave a fat rabbit to Qin Er"s family during the Dragon Boat Festival, and also gave them to two or three Liu Xiucai s.
She did not intend to sell any more rabbits. She could take one whenever she wanted to eat it. The rabbits had already gone down two nests. Now, other than the one in her hand, there were only two fat rabbits left to eat.
Mu Rousang thought about it again and again, and felt that something was amiss. As sshe walked, he pulled at some wild chrysanthemums by the side of the road, "Brother, do you know where aunt"s home is?" She was not optimistic about the sudden appearance of the Cheap Great Sisters.
Hearing that, Mu Jinzhi"s face did not look good, and after a long while he told her, "My aunt"s family has opened a shop in the county."
What he meant was that his aunt"s family had a lot of money! Mu Rousang felt that he should give his brother some prophylactic treatment, "Brother, aunt is so rich, why didn"t she come to visit us? "And I need big brother …"
Mu Jinzhi was in a bit of a dilemma. In his impression, his aunt was a very gentle person, "My aunt might be very busy, and didn"t have the time to come."
"I don"t have time to coax this kid!" Brother, I remember that my father was an Elementary Scholar! But why hasn"t my aunt come to our house since my father pa.s.sed away? Has anyone helped us? " She had forgotten that Mu Jinzhi was only a child in the first place, so no matter how mature he was, he wouldn"t be able to compare to her.
Mu Jinzhi was not stupid to hear her words. Even though he did not understand why his aunt had begged him to do so, after his father had died, he had never visited again.
Seeing that he was silent, she lit another fire, "Do you still remember how Eldest Uncle and his family treated us all back then? "Say, if aunt and uncle knew about our future progress, would they …" She wanted to remind Mu Jinzhi to be cautious.
"Don"t worry little sister, big brother knows how to deal with this. Also, if big aunt asks about our family"s harvest, little sister will say that she only fed a few grains to feed the chickens. As for the embroidery, don"t bring it up again."
"Brother, I"m so afraid of going back to the old days. At that time, I really felt that I wouldn"t be able to see brother anymore!" pretended to lower his head and shrugged.
"Little sister, don"t be sad. Big brother will not let them reach out to us."
The two quickly arrived in front of Mu Yun"s house. The gate of the courtyard opened with a reached out hand, and the heavy, old, spotted wood door let out a dull creaking sound.
The gloomy weather caused the main hall to become dark. It was as if a vicious beast was opening its b.l.o.o.d.y bowl wide, wanting to swallow the two. The courtyard was completely silent.
The two had just entered the courtyard when a woman"s laughter suddenly came from the main hall, "Yo, my poor little nephew, my little niece is finally here. The weather outside is colder, come in quickly and warm up, I"ve been waiting here for a long time.
Mu Rousang guessed that this person was actually his sister-in-law. Following Mu Jinzhi into the main hall, she saw a woman sitting on the seat of honor, dressed in a golden plum branch, dress with a narrow sleeves and autumn thin jacket, a blue and green frilly skirt, and a fish white jade pendant around her waist. A golden phoenix was tied up into a bun with a scarlet pearl comb, its beak was turned upside down, and a few milky-colored pearls were pinned to its bun.
"Big brother, did you see that? I told you that my nephews would definitely come! It wasn"t in vain after waiting for so long that my brother and sister-in-law let go of such a pathetic sight.
Mu Rousang lowered her head, her eyes secretly sweeping across Mu Jinzhi"s face. She sighed inwardly at her brother"s age, and at the same time, felt very ashamed of her so-called aunt, hearing what she said, she unknowingly thought that she was concerned about the two of them, but in reality, it was saying that the Brother and sister had made a senior wait for so long, it was very uncultured.
Mu Rousang immediately ran over, "Is this beautiful big sister really my aunt? I heard my brother often mention her! Aunt, my Brother and sister misses you. "
Hmph, didn"t I say that I have kept you waiting? Said there was no adult education, pah! Alright, as an aunt, you aren"t much better off, after all these years, doesn"t she even exist in the Brother and sister?
Mu Qingxi, who was originally smiling, revealed a trace of unnaturalness on her face. Beside Mu Jinzhi stood a delicate and pretty little girl wearing a coa.r.s.e cloth jacket. The one who spoke just now was precisely her.
She quickly raised the corner of her mouth into a gentle smile, extended a hand that was painted all over red, and waved towards Mu Rousang. "It"s the Sang"er, right? In her heart, she knew that she wouldn"t believe that these two kids would be able to live such a life. She guessed that the Third Sister-in-Law must have left some silver for them.
This was just a moment of thought, "Yo, quickly come and take a look. My niece is even more beautiful than spring onions. I don"t think she"s any worse than those merchant girls in the county." She smiled back at the man behind her.
Only now did Mu Rousang realise that there was a mother and a daughter-in-law standing behind her. Two servants were respectfully and solemnly waiting upon her. It"s just that Mu Qingxi"s words had annoyed her. Your sister, oh, a farmer, she was stepping on Mu Rousang. She lowered her head to restrain the anger in her eyes and asked with a soft and clear smile. "Aunt, what is a merchant"s daughter?"
Mu Jinzhi was doubtful, he had only just told his sister about the elder aunt"s matter, but for the sake of the younger sister, he still stood up and answered, "Sister, Mister has taught the world different levels, the woman from the Shang Clan refers to the woman who does business at home." Mu Qingxi comparing Mu Rousang to a merchant"s daughter made him feel extremely unhappy, as his own little sister was the best in the world.
Mu Rousang almost laughed out loud. Mu Jinzhi was too awesome, looking at this so called aunt who was so angry, tsk, tsk, truly green, so fresh! Who didn"t know that the merchant girl"s status was only a level higher than the servants?
On the surface, she innocently opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and replied with a serious expression, "Oh, I understand, Big Brother, is Eldest Aunt also a merchant"s daughter? I heard that my uncle owns a shop." As he finished speaking, he looked at the silk fabric on Mu Qingxi with a face full of envy.
When the extremely unhappy Mu Qingxi saw her expression, she felt that there wasn"t a need to have so many thoughts in the heart of a child. "Yeah, your uncle"s store is really big. It"s second to none even in the county!" Not only did she have a grocery store, she even opened a shop called rice shop. This time, she was going to take care of the food on behalf of her master while she went home.
After Mu Rousang heard it, she said with a serious face: "Aunt, you are mistaken, I am not a merchant girl, I am a farmer girl, right? Big brother, our family is farmers."
Mu Jinzhi nodded seriously: "I was right, when I become a senior official in the future, I will be Miss Shangguan Family."
Pu, Mu Rousang laughed out loud. Was he telling Aunt? "He needs Graduation in the future, so of course he needs to support them with such ambition!" "Great! My brother said he"s going to be a high-ranking official in the future! " When Big Brother becomes an official, I will have the money to buy flowers for Big Aunt to wear. "
Mu Qingxi recovered her wits at this moment and carefully sized the two of them up with a pair of shrewd eyes. "Haha, that"s right, aunt was only casually speaking."
Her heart was thumping. An eight year old child was easy to talk about, but how could a five-year-old child talk in such a way? Mu Rousang was acutely aware of her probing gaze and he was very shamelessly and naively acting cute. Saliva hugged Mu Qingxi"s arm and shook it. "Aunt, Big Brother said that you always bring delicious snacks for us, and it"s not for sale in our town."
Hmph, are you just talking nonsense? Why did she feel that Mu Qingxi did it on purpose … Her family hadn"t had anything to do with this aunt in the past few years. No, they were probing her. What was this aunt planning? Mu Rousang didn"t know where to start, so he decided to sell first.
Mu Qingxi saw Mu Qingxi"s gluttonous and small eyes staring at the pastries on the table, and she inwardly laughed at herself for thinking too much. "Come, try it, this is something Eldest Aunt ordered for her most famous store in the County City. Ordinary people are unable to buy it even if they wanted to."
He didn"t forget to raise his own status at all. Mu Rousang had wanted to puke in the beginning, but afterwards, puking would be healthier, and she was calm now.
She bit down on the pastry in her hand. It was a bit hard, a bit different from modern pastries. It had a kind of pure natural fragrance. From the moment she entered the house until now, other than seeing that this aunt was very ostentatious, the words she spoke had an indescribable meaning to them. Other than putting on the disguise of embroidery, she hadn"t done anything out of the ordinary in the past six months.
Mu Rousang was still thinking about what she had said, but Mu Jinzhi had already accepted her words, "Nephew understands that aunt did it unintentionally."
When Mu Qingxi saw that although the two of them were young, their actions were still dignified and their words were pierced back by the Brother and sister, she unconsciously spoke in a serious tone. "Jin"zi, First Aunt saw that you"ve combed your hair as well, so are you in school now?"
Mu Rousang secretly looked down on her. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this aunt had already found out about her family"s situation, so she pretended to ask about the situation.
"Yes, aunt, I have already read the "Three Character Cla.s.sic", "Thousand Character Cla.s.sic", and "Hundred Families". Teacher is currently teaching the "Sister-in-law Law"!"
Mu Rousang, who was standing at the side, caught the complicated look in the aunt"s eyes.
"That"s right, your father would be very happy if he knew it!" If not for the servant"s report, she wouldn"t believe that a brat who had only studied for half a year would be able to learn so well. Had his third brother taught him a lot of enlightenment at that time?
In fact, only Mu Rousang knew that she and Mu Jinzhi had been drinking spatial water s for a long time. Not only did her body have a strong memory, although she had not reached the level of photographic memory, she only needed to read it two or three times to remember.
As a peasant girl, Mu Qingxi relied on her pampered upbringing to go to the Boss Zhou in the countryside to collect mountain goods. After marrying into a concubine in the county to help him carry on his business, she had learned shrewdness and shrewdness. Earlier, she wanted to ask Mu Jinzhi about his studies, in order to show off his son"s knowledge. However, when she heard Mu Jinzhi"s answer, she felt unbalanced.
In her eyes, her brother was no longer there. His life was spent digging, and he should have had a tough life. Looking at him, her eyes should have been filled with envy.
Mu Rousang looked at the entire room, including Mu Yun"s family, none of them dared to breathe. All of them were talking about this cheap aunt, looking at Eldest Uncle and his family with jealousy, envy, and jealousy, they were even more cautious and fawning on him.
She must have come back to make up some money! He needed the looks of admiration from these relatives to match her, to satisfy her vanity. In the eyes of the villagers, Mu Qingxi could live in the city, and she could also live a life of luxury and luxury that these village farmers who only knew how to dig were unable to reach in their entire lives.
"Brother Jin, Sang"er, it"s a pity that my third brother left early. Third Son"s Family will depend on you to pick him up in the future. Wuu, you"ve suffered so much at such a young age, it"s unbearable for aunt …" As he said that, his tears fell, using the kernels in his hands to occasionally wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes.
