103 Chapter 103
◎Mu Yun's love star moved◎
Wanli had no choice but to lead the brother and sister in.
"Are you the one who bullied our Xiaoqi yesterday?" Gui'er stood still in the courtyard, taking a horse stance while speaking.
The little boy, holding a pile of gift boxes with his head tilted, put down the things and said, "I will keep my name. My name is Rong Chong."
Gui'er's feet remained motionless, her legs and body swaying slowly, her arms folded across her chest. "Let me test your skills. If you can make my feet move within ten breaths, you win."
"This..." Rong Zhaohua quickly put down her things, but before she could stop him, her stupid brother went up.
Rong Chong is very strong compared to other children. Gui'er was also very strong when she was this age.
Rong Chong attacked Guier's upper and lower body with one move after another. No matter how hard he pushed, pulled or tugged, Guier's feet didn't move at all. As Guier swung her body, the child staggered and landed on the ground.
"I can't win." Rong Chong pouted stubbornly.
"What's there to win?" Rong Zhaohua pulled him up. "We're here to see someone off." She continued to smile. "Madam Gui, these are some fresh wine and fruit. They're just an apology, not a formality. Please be kind and don't be so rude to Chong'er."
Gui'er had her own rhythm. She glanced at the bindings on the young woman's hands and feet, knowing that she was also a martial artist. She raised her chin and said, "Come here. Let's spar."
Rong Zhaohua was a little embarrassed, as he was not the one who made the decision.
Guier saw what she was thinking: "You win, today's business is done."
□□Zhaohua stopped being shy and started to act calmly.
Gui'er was no longer arrogant and was ready for battle.
After Wanli led the people into the second gate, he hurried to Lin's house to report to Mu Yun.
Gui'er's behavior just now brought back some memories from not too long ago. He hadn't had much contact with her since she gave birth and was in confinement after giving birth, and he almost forgot that this woman was a little crazy.
By the time Mu Yun put down what he was doing and rushed over after tidying up, the fight in the courtyard had already started.
After Gui'er discovered the person, she ended the fight directly. She was kicked and the other person was also kicked away by her.
Rong Zhaohua fell on Mu Yun with his back to him. Mu Yun stepped aside and supported himself slightly with one hand.
Wow.
Rong Chong opened his eyes wide.
Rong Zhaohua could have stood still, but after being supported, she lost her strength and fell in front of Mu Yun. Unexpectedly, Mu Yun took a step sideways, and she fell to the ground in a mess.
He looked over with a hint of resentment.
Mu Yun was already asking Gui Er, "What's wrong with you?"
The family that Wang Bingren introduced to Cheng Mu ran a silk shop and a garment shop. Mr. Yuan had two sons and two daughters. This was the youngest daughter, sixteen years old, named Ying. She was good at needlework and often helped in the shop. So Cheng Mu came to visit them under the pretext of making winter clothes for her two children.
In the ancient world, marriage was entirely a man's market. If a man liked you, he would ask an ice man to come to your house to propose marriage. The words used to scold women were like "no one will want you in the future."
The Iceman often walked here and knew every girl's age, appearance and temperament.
She said that Yuan Ying was clever and skillful, which was indeed true. Many of the clothes in the clothing store were made by her. She could also embroider and had her own business skills.
Before leaving, Cheng Mei told Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi that they would go to get measured for clothes today, and it was entirely up to them to decide what they wanted. They could just tell her what they wanted, and she would never interfere. She would only be responsible for paying for it.
When Yuan Ying took their measurements and asked them to choose a style they liked, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi came up with their wild ideas.
Xiaoliu: "I want a tulle cover. The skirt should be covered with tulle here and there, and it should be puffy like this. The cuffs and neckline should also have rustling lace."
Yuan Ying: "...wearing yarn is cool in the summer, but very cold in the winter."
Xiaoliu: "But I just like it. Anyway, I have cotton clothes underneath. Oh, and I want a pocket here, the kind I can carry money with. I want shoes like this." Xiaoliu chose a style. "Can the bottom be padded a little higher? Can the upper be made shiny?"
Yuan Ying: “…”
Xiao Qi: "I want a raised collar to protect my neck."
Yuan Ying: "But if you turn upside down like this, your neck will be filled with snow."
Xiao Qi: "I want my clothes to protect me like armor. Broader shoulders so my arms can move, more layers around the abdomen, and my legs should be tied up. I also want my boots to be longer, reaching below the knees."
Yuan Ying: “…”
Anyway, Cheng Xi was speechless after hearing this.
After the initial silence, Yuan Ying patiently guided Xiaoliu, and finally Xiaoqi changed the yarn into wool, the waist bag-like pocket into a shoulder bag, and Xiaoqi changed the collar back to a small stand-up collar, and made a leather and fur armor with reference to the Mongolian armor.
The problem was solved smoothly and both parties were very satisfied. The pressure was only put on Cheng Mi, and the budget increased several times.
Cheng Xi was quite satisfied. This girl was patient and capable.
On the way back, Cheng Mu quietly asked Nanny Zhu for her opinion, "I think this lady is good. I don't need to read the rest, right? I'll write a letter to the headmaster right away."
Nanny Zhu was a bit picky, "Ying Niang's only weakness lies in her looks. She doesn't look like a good match for Young Master Yun."
"At least her features are regular, and her figure is also good for childbearing."
Nanny Zhu smiled secretly, "I'm just afraid that Master Yun will look down on me." There are so many great things in front of us.
After returning home, Gui'er said that she had discovered something important and wanted to talk to Cheng Mu alone.
"Did you fight with anyone today?" Cheng Mu asked in a reproachful tone. Sure enough, she would cause trouble once she relaxed.
"It's not important, Madam Cheng—"
"If this isn't important, then what's important? Mu Yun told me to have Nanny Zhu give you a thorough checkup. Your bone injury hasn't healed yet, and you're really messing around!"
Seeing that she was determined to speak, Guier motioned her to speak first. She would agree to whatever she said.
When Cheng Mu's momentum paused, she immediately caught up with her emotions, "Madam Cheng, Mu Yun's Red Luan Star has moved."
Cheng Mu's first reaction was that Gui'er had discovered what they were doing, "What do you mean?"
"Mu Yun and that Miss Rong have fallen in love! Seriously! When she saw me hurt her, Mu Yun hugged her and gave me a good scolding. That Miss Rong is so shameless, she jumped on me the first time she saw me. I think Miss Rong was deliberately going after Mu Yun!"
Cheng Mu was suspicious. "Why is what you said so hard to believe?"
"That's right, the kid was stunned."
"Is Mu Yun really like this? He and I hugged each other and showed affection the first time we met?"
"Of course not. Mu Yun was shy, and we were both staring at him, so he withdrew his hand in time."
Cheng Mu didn't believe it at all, "Let me check your injuries carefully."
Cheng Mu called Madam Zhu in. Madam Zhu lit several lamps, and the room was brightly lit. When Cheng Mu left, she heard Gui Er crying out in pain, "Madam, be gentle, it hurts, it hurts..."
The next day, Rong Zhaohua came again, carrying two gift boxes. This time, Rong Chong didn't come, but a doctor carrying a medicine box followed behind.
"Madam Cheng, I didn't know Madam Gui was still in confinement. I offended her yesterday and I'm still upset. Doctor Hao is a very skilled doctor. Let him see Madam Gui. I'll cover all the expenses."
Cheng Mu noticed the bruises on her face and asked, "Gui'er, you don't know how to use your hands and feet. Have you consulted a doctor?"
"I'm fine. I've been used to this kind of injury since I was a child."
Rong Zhaohua couldn't help looking around, and Cheng Mu also noticed that she would fiddle with her hair from time to time and change her clothes into wide sleeves and skirts.
Perhaps, what Guier said is not nonsense.
"Madam Rong, did you meet my uncle yesterday?"
Rong Zhaohua smiled shyly, "I heard that Master Mu Yun was the young master of the Wuwei Escort Agency. I didn't expect that we were in the same industry."
"Madam Rong, do you have something to say to him?"
"No, no, I'm here to apologize today—" She suddenly found it very funny, "I've been here three days in a row, and every time I've come to apologize, it's a very special fate."
Rong Zhaohua had always been kind, and Cheng Mu couldn't get angry with her. Anyway, she was planning to ask a doctor to see Gui'er, so she accepted her favor and asked Nanny Zhu to take the person to the main house.
Rong Zhaohua was puzzled in his heart. Mu Yun and Madam Cheng called each other uncle and sister-in-law, but Madam Cheng's late husband had no relationship with the Wuwei Escort Agency. Although Madam Cheng was the head of the family, she did not live in the main house. Madam Gui who lived in the main house was a figure, and the story of her being pardoned for revenge for her father was still circulating in the room.
"Mom, Miss Li Lan is here."
Xiaoliu brought the guest in.
Li Lan came in gracefully, not as lively as when they met again, nor as shy as that day, a perfect combination of grace and elegance. "Madam Cheng, I'm sorry to bother you."
She brought her homemade chili sauce and came to pick up the cherry tomatoes Cheng Mu had promised her. That day, Madam Zhu thought she would come back to get them as soon as she remembered, but she didn't come until ten days later.
"It's been moved to the vegetable box over at the Lin residence. We're going over there to plant some seeds, so let's go together."
Cheng Mu invited Li Lan to go with her. Li Lan was a little hesitant and struggled for a few breaths before finally agreeing.
On the way, Li Lan couldn't control her nervousness. Xiaoliu came up to her and mysteriously took her hand and put it in his pocket.
"Do you know what this is?"
Li Lan moved her fingers. "Cage cloth? What's it wrapped in?"
"I've been keeping the seeds of the Qianxi Fruit for three days. Today they've sprouted, so I can plant them."
Li Lan was curious, "Can it be put in your pocket?"
Xiaoliu nodded as a matter of course, "It's warm in my pocket, anywhere it's warm is fine."
Xiao Qi chimed in, "Are we like a hen hatching eggs?"
Li Lan chuckled and chatted with them as they walked, gradually forgetting about her nervousness.
The vegetable box that Cheng Mu wanted was already ready, and Mu Yun made two more, intending to move them to the residential area to grow onions, leeks and other crops that could be eaten as needed.
Xiaoliu now has her own plot of land. She happily spins around, "I'll sow seeds in these boxes myself!"
Cheng Mu also distributed some seeds of cabbage, radish, pepper, etc., and said, "Tai'er, you help Xiaoliu and Xiaodie fetch water. Mom will have to plant the crops herself."
Li Lan spontaneously said, "Madam Cheng, I'll help you."
Dig a hole in the dark brown soil, plant the seeds, cover with a thin layer of soil, water it, and then cover it with a layer of paper film to keep it moist.
Li Lan asked, "Madam Cheng, what kind of soil is this?" It was so thick and loose.
"This is the nutrient soil I made myself. Each wooden box has something different in it, so I'll use whatever I have."
"Is there anything special about it? My family only uses manure to fertilize the fields."
"It's not that there are any particulars. Anything can be used to make the mixture: dried manure, furnace slag, grass ash, rice husks, river mud, etc. I even used sawdust from making wooden boxes. There are also some particulars. The manure must be fully decomposed, and the seedbed must be dewormed before sowing..."
The two of them worked and chatted at the same time, one was willing to teach, the other was willing to learn. Li Lan was completely immersed in the joy of learning, and completely forgot the existence of Mu Yun who was coming in and out carrying water, and did not realize how much time had passed.
Rong Zhaohua waited there for a long time. When he heard that everyone had come to Lin's house, he came over under the pretext of saying goodbye to Madam Cheng.
