Chapter 14

There was a knock on the door, and the person who came was a middle-aged woman accompanied by an official.

Holding the list in her hand, she took the initiative to introduce herself as the shopkeeper's wife.

Buying supplies is done by her.

"There are only three Bai Ling and four pairs of soap shoes, but there are thousands of layers of shoes, do you want them?"

Ordinary people wear self-made Melaleuca shoes, only men with a bit of identity wear soap shoes, and there are not many stocks in the town.

Mu Wanqing understood as soon as she heard it. The lady boss made the thousand-layer shoes herself. "If you want, please come with five pairs. If you have cloth heads and threads, prepare more for us."

"it is good."

Mu Wanqing's heart moved, "Are there any shirts without upper body? Both men and women are welcome, and the price can be negotiated."

The proprietress patted her thigh and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, my daughter is about to get married. I have prepared a few new clothes for you. If you want, I will give them to you first."

Just as he was about to doze off, someone brought a pillow. There were four sets of new clothes, both inside and out, and Mu Wanqing had them all.

"Ah, is there a new bedding? Sell it to me too." The newcomer will definitely prepare it.

Seeing that she gave the money neatly, the proprietress was very happy to do this business. Anyway, there was still more than a month before the wedding, so it was too late to prepare again.

In this way, Mu Wanqing got two brand new beddings. She touched the mattress, which was filled with soft wheat straw, which was quite thick.

The quilt is soft and feels quite good.

The proprietress suddenly patted her head, "By the way, there are guests who can't pay for the drinks, so do you want the rabbit fur cloak that is mortgaged?"

"Take a look."

It was a men's black rabbit fur cloak. It was wide and 60% new. It looked unremarkable, but it was warm when worn on the body. Mu Wanqing couldn't help but secretly delighted in her heart and asked for it directly.

This is a good thing for winter. It can be draped on the body to keep warm, and it can be used as a quilt cover at night.

Of course, the price is also very beautiful, plus the items on the list, it costs a hundred taels in total.

The proprietress is very satisfied, the people in the second room are a little bit hurt, this money is too useless.

Mu Wanqing didn't care, if it wasn't for the fact that the mule cart was too small, she would have liked to buy more.

Supplies are in hand, don't panic.

The officials were watching the whole process, supervising the whole process.

The four sets of clothes bought were all brightly colored, one set was turmeric, one set was pink, one set was bright red, and one set was cyan.

Two sets of thin models and two sets of thick winter clothes are a bit large and the materials are ordinary. This is a small family with limited conditions.

Qian Shi swiftly made the clothes smaller and put them on for her daughter.

The hot water was delivered, and everyone agreed to let Mu Wanqing wash first. After Mu Wanqing declined a few times, she accepted everyone's kindness.

She took a comfortable hot bath, washed her hair, put on clean clothes, and she seemed to be alive.

Seeing the dirty bath water, she couldn't help pursing her lips. She had never been so dirty before.

She didn't wear new clothes, but put on smaller men's clothes, which was more convenient.

Mu Wanqing divided two underwear and the blue one for her mother, the other colors were too bright.

Although Mrs. Mu felt that it was not very suitable, she happily accepted it under the persuasion of her daughter.

The whole family took turns taking a bath, which is a rare opportunity. don't know what year Ma Yue will be next time.

After taking a bath, we ate the mutton soup and hu cake provided by the inn for dinner.

The mutton soup is a bit fishy, ​​but the meat is tender and not old and not woody, and the hu cake is quite good.

Mu Wanqing's slightly damp hair was draped over her shoulders, and while eating, she commented, "I should put some pepper."

"Pepper is too expensive." Mu Zicheng was very happy to eat, it was already a fairy life for him.

"If it's like this every day, I'll be satisfied."

There are hot baths to wash, clean quilts to sleep in, and enough to eat.

Mu Ziang's mouth was full of things, and he kept nodding. Only after suffering did he know how happy he is now.

Second Master Mu took a big mouthful of mutton soup and narrowed his eyes comfortably, "This is all thanks to Qing'er, Zicheng Ziang, you must remember this."

"Understood, we are all thanks to my sister."

"Well, in the future, I will listen to my sister. If my sister says one, I will never say two."

On this side, it was peaceful and happy, and the third room of the Mu family's big room was cold and rainy.

They paid for two double-bunk beds, and one that could sleep ten people, adults and children squeezed together and it was all over.

Old Mrs. Mu refused to book a better single room, saying that it was better than a prison, so she had to be content.

The money she has on hand not only needs to meet the travel expenses of her family of more than 30 people, but also takes into account the cost of settling down at the border.

Third Master Mu fell on the bunk and groaned in pain, "Look for the doctor, hurry up and find the doctor."

His hand just dealt with it hastily. Lying on the scooter all the way, the bumps were severe, and the injury was even more painful.

The family only knew how to cry around him, and more than a dozen concubines cried heartbroken.

There are the most concubines in the third room, some are rewarded by Mrs. Mu, some are the maids that Mu Sanye hooked up with, and some are fancy from outside.

The euphemism is to have a son, he has only one son, and the number is too small.

Once the house was raided, all the servants were sold, and these concubines could only be exiled. They had been tossed and haggard. don’t know how much regretted it.

Old Mrs. Mu's eyes were red, and she took out twenty taels of silver notes from her bosom, "Boss, go to the official messenger to make some arrangements."

Uncle Mu nodded slightly, took the silver ticket and left.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, except for the cries, it was the scolding voice of the old lady Mu.

He scolded the second room for being unfilial, Mu Wanqing was vicious and cruel, and she was not good to die.

How come it is ugly.

Everyone was tired and hungry, and their whole body was aching. They just wanted to eat and then fell asleep, their expressions were dull, and they didn't have the strength to agree.

They go for a day and just want to rest, why is it so difficult?

Mrs. Mu glanced at her daughter worriedly, and Mu Jinyao looked at an unknown place with dementia, her whole figure withered quickly like a dehydrated flower.

Her expression darkened, "Mother, the children are hungry, let them eat first."

Old Mrs. Mu's thoughts were all on her injured son, she glared at her when she heard the words, "Eat, you'll know what to eat, and you won't die if you eat less."

She was so fierce that a small child cried, "Wow."

As soon as he cried, the other children followed, and all of the children were crying sharply for a while.

The old lady Mu had a severe headache, and called her eldest grandson, "Okay, Zifeng, take the children to the next door to eat, don't make trouble here."

"Yes." If Mu Zifeng got Te He, she couldn't wait to carry her son and go out, and the others quickly followed.

The grandchildren and great-grandchildren have all gone, and even the crying grandsons of the third house have all run away, leaving only the female relatives of the two houses.

The dry food sent by relatives and friends has not been eaten yet, two steamed buns and a bowl of hot water per person are finished.

Xiaodouding in his arms looked at him pitifully, "Father, I want to eat meat."

"I want to eat it too." Mu Zifeng's mouth faded out, but the money was in the hands of the old lady.

After this big change, the old lady takes money very seriously. She is not stingy. No one can get money from her, and she doesn't even want to spend more money to live in a good house.

You can't always grab it.

Everyone else can leave, but Mrs. Mu can't, and she stays by Mrs. Mu's side.

She cautiously suggested, "Should we buy something, just in case?"

Relatives and friends sent dry food for clothes and medicine, but no daily necessities.

Mrs. Mu didn't let go of the money, "what's the hurry? It's just the beginning, I'll talk about it later."

Third Master Mu couldn't help shouting, "Mother, buy a carriage, I can't walk, the carriage is too bumpy, I need a carriage if I want to take care of my injuries."

Although mule carts are good, the carriages are too narrow to be comfortable with horse carts.

The old lady Mu hesitated, "This..."

Mu Sanye cried and cried, "Mother, you are so old and you have to take good care of it. No matter how much money you have, your life doesn't matter. Mother, my son wants to be filial to you for another hundred years."

These words hit the old lady Mu's mind, and she was shaken.

Mrs. Mu took the opportunity to persuade, "Then buy another one, the children are spoiled and can't stand such bumps."

Mrs. Mu didn't immediately agree. When Uncle Mu brought the doctor back, the doctor checked and treated the wound. "The bone is broken, so you have to take good care of it and don't move it."

"Doctor, please." Uncle Mu had an idea, "I want to buy some medicines from you."

Although relatives and friends gave some, but so many people, how can they be enough?

This is just an ordinary doctor, there are only some ordinary medicines in the medicine cabinet, and the effect is unknown.

Old Mrs. Mu didn't buy many, and only took one pack of each.

When Uncle Mu sent the doctor out, the old lady suddenly proposed to buy two carriages, one for each family, and to say hello to the official messenger first.

As soon as these words came out, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Mu happily went to see Master Zeng, but as a result, Master Zeng looked at him like a fool.

Uncle Mu was beating a drum in his heart, "Sir, is there any problem?"

Master Zeng shook his head slightly, as expected, he had been a high-ranking official for a long time, and he did not eat the fireworks of the world. "There is only a horse market in the capital. Where can I buy a horse-drawn carriage in this town?"

Uncle Mu thought that carriages were easy to buy. There used to be five carriages in the house, two in each room. The old lady had her own carriage, which was spacious and comfortable.

"The inn should have a carriage, I'll pay double the price."

A good horse is worth 70 taels, the average one is around 50 taels, and the ordinary carriages are worth 10 taels.

When asked the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper only had a donkey cart that pulled goods, with an open top.

That's it, a high price was set.

However, when he thought that there was still a long way to go, Mr. Mu bravely bought it.

But Mrs. Mu found an excuse and pulled her daughter into a dark place, her voice was very low, "Your grandmother is too salty to get in, she is holding on to the money, did your second aunt give you money? Take it out. , I'll buy some necessities."

Mu Jinyao pursed her lips and took out a bank note from her purse.

"Buy some meat buns."

It seems that meat buns have become a stalk for many people.

In the prison, watched the second room eat meat buns every day. People who couldn't eat them couldn't forget them. Even Mu Jinyao was greedy for meat buns. Who would believe it?

Mrs. Mu's heart is not a taste, sour, astringent.

The daughter she held in the palm of her hand and pampered her, she would not wear anything other than Lingluo, and she would not eat anything other than the delicacies of mountains and seas.

But now... actually want to eat greasy meat buns.

"You...find a way to have a good relationship with Mu Wanqing, she..." Da Furen Mu paused, and spit out a sentence with great difficulty, "She has the means, maybe she can help at a critical moment."

She mentioned her daughter, "Besides, you are cousins, and it is appropriate to support each other."

Mu Jinyao looked confused, "I didn't help her in the past, but now let her help, is this possible?"

Mrs. Mu has a splitting headache. This child has been smart and clever since he was a child, but now, how can he accept the truth?

"It's mutual help. You can help them drive the mule cart."

To put it nicely, it is actually better to sit in a car than to walk.

She was distressed for the suffering of her pampered daughter, fearing that she would not be able to last.

Mu Jinyao subconsciously looked at the shoes that were wrapped with cloth strips. The shoes were frayed. She could only tear off the fabric and tied the shoes a few layers, barely able to walk.

Right now, feet are full of blisters, and it hurts to cry when pop the blisters.

"She doesn't like me." She couldn't help herself.

"You want to have a good relationship with people, is it difficult? You..." Mrs. Mu thought of her daughter's popularity in the past. Not only men adored her, but girls also held her.

But now, none of these people came out to help.

"Don't think of yourself as the most honorable eldest daughter of the Mu family in the past. The situation is different now, don't be too high-spirited, learn more from Mu Wanqing. Although she is full of problems, she can eat and drink enough.There is a car to sit, and the family is also protected."

Mu Jinyao was silent.

A clear shout rang out loudly, "Who is hiding in the dark? Come out!"

The mother and daughter were startled, and the eldest lady quickly wiped a hand of mud on the ground and wiped it on her daughter Bai Nen's face.

When you are in trouble, being too beautiful is a curse, not a blessing.
