Chapter 334 They inquired about the whereabouts of Xiling Village
It’s just like in most wealthy families in the capital, when the master and his wife perform the Zhougong ceremony, there will be maids and old women waiting outside the door.
After the master has done his job, he will call them in to serve him. In this case, the master in the step-out bed can lower the curtain, and the servants can just deliver what they need through the curtain.
Although the Mo family has now come to live in Xiling Village and is not bound by so many rules, for the old lady who sticks to the rules, these rules are unshakable in her heart.
Of course, if she herself cannot accept something, she will not interfere with her children's acceptance.
Seeing that her daughters-in-law were all waiting for her comments, she said calmly, "I'm old and nostalgic. I still like the original style of furniture. If you like it, feel free to use it."
With the mother-in-law's words around, the sisters-in-law can no longer endure it.
The second sister-in-law was the first to step forward and pull He Zhiran's arm: "Ninth sister-in-law, second sister-in-law likes these new styles of furniture. This is the kind of furniture we will use in our new house."
The third sister-in-law also said excitedly: "I like these furniture designed by my ninth sister-in-law very much. They will look great in the room in the future."
Eighth Sister-in-law pushed Mo Chuhan beside her.
"Husband, we also want furniture like this."
Mo Chuhan nodded: "Yes, I'll do as you say."
In fact, even if his wife didn't say it, Mo Chuhan would choose these new styles of furniture.
If he were to say who he admires most in his family now, it would be his ninth brother's wife.
Which of the things she came up with was not better than anyone could imagine?
Seeing this, the fifth, sixth and seventh sisters-in-law also asked their husbands for their opinions. They all agreed that they should use new styles of furniture for their future new house.
Only the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth brother were still recuperating in the room. Seeing this, she couldn't wait to borrow the drawings and go back to the room to ask her husband's opinion.
Needless to say, Mo Xiuyan also likes the new style of furniture.
As for Mo Hanyue, the little girl was still a little shy and only said, "It's all up to Brother Nine and Sister-in-law to arrange."
The meaning of this statement is obvious: she also wants new styles of furniture.
In this way, the new house of Mrs. Mo was the only one in the Mo family that did not need new style furniture, and He Zhiran also knew this.
There is plenty of wood on the mountain in her space. She can enter the space at night to cut down the wood, and then use the operating table to process it directly into finished wood. She can then find a time to send it to the rented yard in the city.
This not only saves money, but most importantly, it saves Mo Jiuye the trouble of purchasing.
The couple were men of action. They cut down a large amount of pear wood in the space at night, and then got up early the next day, claiming they were going to the city to buy wood. Then they set off on the road to Yuncheng.
The carriage had a smooth journey and arrived at the rented yard in the city.
He Zhiran had an idea and placed all the processed wood in the space in the yard.
It was impossible to buy the wood in such a short time. In order not to arouse the suspicion of their family, the two planned to walk around the street.
There were many people on the street. Mo Jiuye stored the carriage and took He Zhiran with him, and the two of them walked leisurely in the garden.
Although the northwest is desolate, it is only desolate compared to other cities.
In the entire northwest, Yuncheng is relatively prosperous.
The couple walked hand in hand on the busiest street. There were shop assistants in front of the shops on both sides, soliciting customers, and some people were selling their own products on the roadside.
There were a constant stream of people coming and going, but only two people caught Mo Jiuye's attention.
The two men looked around as they walked, and occasionally made inquiring gestures to the people setting up stalls on the roadside.
This behavior is quite common, as there are always visitors from other places.
However, the careful Mo Jiuye discovered a big problem.
Although the two men were wearing the clothes of the Dashun people, their hair was tied up in a high bun like the Dashun people, and they also wore the same silk scarves as the common people, the shoes under their long gowns betrayed their identities.
Mo Jiuye knew Southern Xinjiang very well. He knew that the people in Southern Xinjiang believed in the witch god, and the witch god was born on the first night of the lunar year when the moon was in the shape of a scimitar.
Therefore, people in southern Xinjiang use the crescent moon as a symbol of the witch god, and they will embroider the crescent moon on clothes, hats, or shoes and socks.
Mo Jiuye discovered this very point. There were inconspicuous crescent moons embroidered on the shoes of those two people.
He Zhiran saw her husband staring at the two unremarkable men and asked, "Husband, is there something wrong with those two?"
Mo Jiuye replied in a low voice: "They are from Southern Xinjiang."
"A person from southern Xinjiang?" He Zhiran was obviously shocked.
You have to know that Southern Xinjiang is a long way from the Northwest, and the Northwest is the most barren area of Dashun. If they don't have some purpose in coming to Dashun, they would not come to such a place.
The two men remained silent, but came together to the stall owner whom the man from southern Xinjiang had just asked.
He Zhiran took out a handful of copper coins from his space and gave them to the man, then asked softly, "Young man, what did those two people ask you just now?"
The stall owner happily took the copper coins and whispered, "They're asking about the whereabouts of Xiling Village."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran immediately became alert.
People from southern Xinjiang came to inquire about Xiling Village, and they could not think of any other reason except that they were looking for the Mohist school.
Looking at the two men again, they were already walking towards Xiling Village.
He Zhiran knew that she was now clumsy, and if Mo Jiuye took care of her, there might be mistakes when following the two people.
"Husband, you follow them first. I'll go to the government office to find Big Brother and ask him to drive the carriage to take me back."
If she hadn't mentioned the starling, Mo Jiuye would definitely not be at ease with her going back alone. Besides, this place was close to the government office, which made him feel much more at ease.
"Okay, there are a lot of people on the street, don't walk around alone. Go to the government office to find my brother. Maybe I need help too."
Without further ado, Mo Jiuye gave some instructions and followed closely behind the two people from southern Xinjiang.
He Zhiran did not run around, but went directly to the yamen.
She arrived just in time, as Mo Chuhan was returning from patrol with a team of people.
"Sister-in-law, weren't you buying wood with my brother? Why are you here alone?"
He Zhiran felt that this matter should not be discussed in front of so many officials.
"Myna, can you please excuse me?"
Mo Chuhan knew that something had happened, otherwise his attentive ninth brother would not have left his ninth brother's wife alone. He dismissed the officials and walked to the side of the yamen with He Zhiran, one after the other.
"Ninth sister-in-law, what happened?"
"Myna, we just spotted two sneaky people from Southern Xinjiang at the market. They were asking about the location of Xiling Village. My husband was worried about trouble back home, so he quietly followed them."
Hearing the words "people from Southern Xinjiang", Mo Chuhan instinctively clenched his fists.
What he hated most now were the people of Southern Xinjiang, because Mr. Simeng, the culprit who persecuted countless men of his Mohist school, was from Southern Xinjiang.
Moreover, not long after his ninth brother and his wife rescued their three older brothers in southern Xinjiang, people from southern Xinjiang appeared in Yuncheng and inquired about the whereabouts of Xiling Village. This made him extremely vigilant.
