Mu Rousang raised her eyebrows and looked at the lake in front of him, a sweet smile plastered on her face."Rou Sang, are you hungry?" The peach blossoms that were squeezed together with her heard their stomachs rumbling.
"Ah?" "Yes." Her little meat buns were placed in a small basket in the corner of the carriage. The basket was full of white meat buns that Eldest Uncle and his family would only tolerate it if they didn"t want to give it to him to eat.
"I"ll give it to you to eat!" Peach Blossom dug out a small cloth bag and took out two pieces of sesame sugar s that were stuck together, handing them to Mu Rousang, "Quickly eat, I hid them away so my mother didn"t notice, but … Rou Sang, can you break off one of these pieces for Brother Jin Zi? "
Mu Rousang cast a glance at her, and took out the hot steamed bun with a pained expression. It was not that she was stingy, it was just that she was really unwilling to give it to Eldest Uncle and his family.
"Brother, eat the steamed buns!" Mu Rousang ignored the sound of Mu Fengchai swallowing her saliva and placed two of them into his hands.
"Wow, Rou Sang, you even brought meat buns? I can already smell the scent of meat! " Peach Blossom leapt onto her back and hugged Mu Rousang"s neck.
Mu Rousang laughed and handed over the steamed bun to her, "Go ahead and eat it, your saliva has already fallen into my neck!"
After saving two for himself, he would give it to Qin Er and Second Uncle Qin. In the end, he would give the other three to his Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle, and as for how to split the loot, that had nothing to do with her.
He took a bite of the meat bun in satisfaction. The meat bun with Chinese cabbage was not greasy to eat.
Eldest Aunt looked at the meat bun in her hand and complained, "You guys have two, why is it that I only have one?"
Everyone"s eyes landed on her body at the same time. There was a huge white meat bun in her rough and black hand. Compared to that, it was even more white.
Qin Er felt a little awkward, she looked at the remaining meat bun in her hands. She had wanted to keep it for Tie Mu to eat, but now that Mulberry had said this she could only take it out.
Mu Rousang blocked her hand, and the soft and tender voice broke the heavy atmosphere caused by the donkey"s hooves. .h.i.tting the ground, "Eldest Aunt, what are you unsatisfied about? This bun is something that my son agreed to with Second Aunt, and the money is also shared with her family, it was originally our rations for this morning and noon, because you are my Eldest Aunt, even if you are sitting with me, we can share the food with you. Eldest Aunt, what do you have that you are not satisfied about, or maybe Eldest Aunt brought some delicious food over for us as well?"
The next morning, Mu Rousang exploded out again, filled with anger.
Mulberry choked on what a junior said, his face turned long. "You silly girl, I am your elder, a wild girl who has no mother to teach."
Mu Jinzhi could not bear to be told that his sister did not have a mother to teach, so he roared at her, "Eldest Aunt, if you do not want to go to the county, and ride your things back to the village, donkey cart are small to begin with! It just happens to be right in time for Second Uncle and Second Aunt to sit. "
Mulberry shut her mouth in frustration. Half of the car was filled with things that she had packed.
Mu Rousang casually glanced at it, her eyes were filled with ridicule and ridicule, Eldest Aunt had already made up her mind to stay with Big Aunt for a while.
All along the way, Mulberry kept complaining about the distance and the fatigue of walking. Among the children on the carriage, only Mu Yiyang wanted to stand up and give way to sitting on the carriage, but was stopped by Mu Rousang, "yang-ge, do you want to turn the car over? This kind of wheelbarrow suddenly gets heavier on one side, and can turn over. "
Initially, the weight of the four children was not much different from one to two. If an adult from Mulberry squeezed his way in, it would be weird if the car did not flip over.
It was already past noon by the time they reached the city gate, with a few hungry people standing there, waiting in line to pay the entrance fees. In Mu Rousang"s group, even donkey cart would have to pay two coins.
"Yo, Rou Sang, the poor general of Eldest Aunt has brought her family a few people to pay for entering the city!" She smiled as she took out eighty percent of the money from her chest pocket and called out to Mu Yiyang and Mu Fengchai to get off the car.
"Mother, Rou Sang and Jin Zhi are family members, not to mention that my sister and I didn"t even charge for our feet in this car. How could Mother do this too excessively?" Mu Yiyang said Mulberry unhappily with a flushed face.
Mulberry picked him up and got out of the car, "Are you stupid? Why do you need money to take your own cousin"s car?
Mu Rousang felt a headache holding on to her hands.
Mu Jinzhi said in disdain, "Sigh, yang-ge, although my sister and I are young, we can still support ourselves." Brother and sister did not care about the money.
When the Mulberry heard Mu Jinzhi"s words, he quickly dragged Mu Yiyang, who was leaving the other people behind, past the city gate, and waited for Mu Jinzhi to rush the donkey cart in. Mu Yiyang"s face became even redder, and his face was full of shame and shame.
After they entered the city, the Mulberry started to have ideas about Mu Rousang and the donkey cart, "Jin Jin, look at how much things the Eldest Aunt has brought to your aunt and how you guys are going to buy them. I want your uncle to drive the donkey cart over to your aunt"s house first so that the donkey cart won"t tire themselves out."
Qin Er was so angry that her face was turning green, her anger was rising straight up, all the way here Mulberry was pointing fingers and commenting. If it wasn"t for Second Uncle Qin holding her back, she would have already scolded him loudly, "Mulberry, do you have any shame? You still have the face to say it"s his Eldest Aunt, where were you when the two siblings lost their parents, and what did you give to the two siblings after so many years? Hmph!
As a man, Mu Yun wanted to help but was unable to do so. In the end, he stretched his leg and kicked the donkey cart to suck in a breath of air, the d.a.m.n weather was too cold, going to Mu Qingxi"s house from the east gate all the way to the west gate was the courtyard of Mu Qingxi"s house.
"Jin"zi, hurry up and the donkey cart will help Big Uncle deliver the things." Mu Yun said as a matter of fact, his att.i.tude towards Mu Jinzhi was much better. After all, Mu Jinzhi was the root of the Mu Family, and the Mu Family"s Joss Flame continued to grow.
The person Mu Rousang hated the most was him, so how could it be possible for it to go as he wished? "Uncle, isn"t it embarra.s.sing for me, a lone donkey cart, to help you with something? Didn"t Uncle forget that Feng"e Sis is currently the young miss of a wealthy family? Could it be that he wanted to let the servants of Aunt"s family to see her as a joke? "
Mu Yiyang stood up and pulled at the corner of Mu Yun"s clothes, "Father, what little sister Rou Sang said is reasonable, daddy has forgotten, big aunt wants to marry big sister into a rich village."
Mu Yiyang vaguely felt that this matter was not right, in the end, his age was all there, how could he understand what was going on inside?
Mu Yun folded his hands and stuffed them into his sleeves. He stomped his feet, which was supposed to be filled with anger at Mu Rousang"s retort, but now that his son was making sense, he said: "Un, son, what you said is reasonable. We need to find a beautiful carriage first."
Mu Rousang blinked her eyes at Mu Yiyang, the two siblings had not fought with him for nothing.
Under Mulberry"s unwillingness, Mu Yun called for the carriage driver to bring the things over, and then pulled the phoenix hairpin. Mu Yiyang got on the carriage, and spoke to Mulberry who was still arguing with him: "d.a.m.n woman, you"re still not leaving, it"s almost time for lunch."
Mulberry, who was initially scolding happily, smelled the fragrance of the chicken leg and gulped his saliva. Only then did he lift his skirt and step onto the horse carriage, causing the pa.s.sersby to burst into laughter.
Mu Yiyang sat in the horse carriage and felt that his mother"s actions were very vulgar and embarra.s.sing.
Mu Jinzhi thought for a while, then got down from the donkey cart and walked to the carriage, and said to Mu Yun who was in the carriage, "Uncle, my sister and I will go to Zhou Mansion tomorrow to pay respects to Aunt." The calm tone didn"t carry a single trace of emotion, as if he was talking about someone else"s family.
When Mu Rousang heard this, she rolled her eyes. The donkey cart was finally free, so Qin Er and Second Uncle Qin sat on it.
"Aiyo, my feet are going to get sore!" The three children sat in the carriage, Qin Er and Second Uncle Qin sat side by side at the front of the donkey cart.
Mu Jinzhi laughed and said to Second Uncle Qin: "Second Uncle, let"s go find an inn first, and set up a place to rest before going to buy stuff. I have invited Mister to stay for three days, tomorrow we will take a stroll on the streets, and we will return the day after tomorrow"s lunch."
"Alright, let"s go!" Second Uncle Qin swung his donkey whip left and right, eventually finding a relatively remote street.
"I"ve accompanied the village head to the county before for some work, and I"ve lived nearby. The price can be considered cheap as 30 yuan for breakfast."
Only then did everyone understand why he was so familiar with the road. "Brother, let"s have a good look around today. I wonder if Winter Solstice has anything to pay attention to."
This is the first time Rou Sang has been to a county city, and the Peach Blossom is all thanks to you guys. I heard that the county city"s Winter Solstice is very lively, and it seems like there are a lot of people buying and selling things in the city. "
Second Uncle Qin nodded and replied, "Of course, tonight"s Winter Solstice. Tonight, Second Uncle will bring everyone to eat red bean glutinous rice chicken!"
Red Bean Glutinous Rice Chicken? Mu Rousang really did not understand. In her previous life, she only knew how to eat dumplings during the Winter Solstice.
The peach blossoms happily sat in the car, clapping her hands and shouting, "Great! Rou Sang, the glutinous rice chicken is delicious, it was steamed with lotus leaf packet, inside there are red beans, chicken, glutinous meat, and also sesame seeds. It tastes a little bit salty and fragrant." After he finished speaking, he even swallowed his saliva.
Mu Jinzhi continued to say, "Hehe, little sister, do you know that this Red Bean Glutinous Rice Chicken is actually a steamed glutinous rice. Since ancient times, there has been a son of a man called Gong Gong who committed many evil deeds to harm the village.
"Later on, when Taoists pa.s.sed by to guide us, they told us that ghosts are afraid of red beans, which is why we had the custom of eating red beans during the winter solstice to ward off the plague and prevent diseases."
Mu Rousang felt that in this era, it was not easy to eat a full meal, it was just to find an excuse to eat an extra meal.
Along the way, they chatted and laughed all the way to the inn, where they handed the donkey cart over to the waiter and added extra money for the fodder.
Originally, Qin Er wanted to help the siblings pay for the rooms. Under Mu Jinzhi"s insistence, the siblings paid for Second Aunt"s family, the reason being that Mu Jinzhi had to sleep with Second Uncle tonight, and Mu Rousang had to ask Qin Er to take care of him.
After the group entered the guest room, they washed up and rested for a while before having lunch in the small restaurant. There were only a few glutinous rice chicken, two plates of Stir-Fried Vegetables, a side dish of Soy Sauce and a bowl of rice.
"Second Aunt, where do you want to go?" After eating, the group discussed their route. This time, Mu Rousang really wanted to buy a lot of things.
Qin Er estimated the time, she brought some eggs with her this time. The mountain market would find a place to sell them in the afternoon, and they would be able to exchange the money they earned from eating these few days.
"I want to go and sell my stuff first. I"ll leave it at the back of my mind. Even if I go shopping, it won"t be easy."
Mu Rousang felt that it was good this way, she still wanted to sell the few pieces of embroidery. It was not because the people of Qin Er were bad, but rather, it was better for her to not let others know how much she earned.
Second Aunt, I want to follow Big Brother to stroll around the streets. This time, there are a lot of New Year goods to be picked up and sold, not to mention that we have to go to Big Aunt"s place tomorrow.
"That"s fine too. You can ask your second uncle to stay with you and also help look after the donkey cart. I won"t be at ease if you guys go out alone." Qin Er felt that it was better this way, since Second Uncle Qin was not good at selling things anyway.
"Second Aunt, let"s take the car to the market first and go look for you after we"re done buying things."
With regards to these things, the Brother and sister had already discussed at home. Mu Jinzhi went to the backyard to bring along the donkey cart, "Peach Blossom, do you want to go for a stroll with us?" Mu Rousang felt that it would be better if he brought back the peach blossoms.
Peach Blossom was naturally happy to go along with it, "Really? Mother, I want to go with Rou Sang! "
The Qin Er was too lazy to say anything more. She waited until Mu Jinzhi drove the donkey cart out before bringing the mountain cargo and eggs back to the car, "Peach Blossom, you can"t run around as you please. This county is not like the countryside, there are many kidnappers here!"
