Chapter 411 From Mohism
On the way to the northwest, Nanny Li would be responsible for Mrs. He's food and daily life. Therefore, she would go shopping almost every time she passed through a city.
She discovered that several cities near the northwest were selling a kind of very cute plush doll.
Nanny Li has watched He Zhiran grow up since she was a child, and her feelings for her are no less than those for her biological mother, Mrs. He.
I had been thinking about meeting the eldest daughter I had been thinking about and wanted to bring her a gift.
When she saw the plush doll, Nanny Li guessed that the eldest lady would definitely like it.
When she asked the price, she was dumbfounded. It cost twenty taels of silver each.
Having worked in the He family for half her life, it was impossible for her to not be able to come up with twenty taels of silver.
However, she thought that since she was going out with her mistress, she would not need any expenses on the way, so she only brought a few taels of silver.
Therefore, Nanny Li was deeply impressed by the plush dolls of different colors.
The original owner was also very close to Nanny Li. Just now, He Zhiran was busy reminiscing with Mrs. He, and only now did he turn his attention to Nanny Li.
He Zhiran is a modern soul who still holds the idea of equality for all in his heart.
He pointed to the single sofas on both sides of the large sofa and said, "Madam, you've worked hard on the journey. Come sit down and have a rest."
Nanny Li waved her hands repeatedly, "Miss, this is unacceptable. I am a servant, how dare I sit with my master? Isn't this embarrassing for me?"
He Zhiran was also helpless about this deep-rooted idea of the ancients.
Just when she was about to say something, Mrs. Mo spoke.
"This nanny will listen to your young lady. Now our Mo family is no longer a wealthy family, but an ordinary peasant family. We no longer have those broken rules."
She could see that the ninth daughter-in-law valued this nanny very much, so she planned to help her.
Mrs. He looked at her daughter and then at her mother-in-law. Seeing that there was no pretense on their faces, she knew in her heart that the Mo family really did not have so many rules now.
She looked at Nanny Li who was still standing there obediently.
"Madame Li, since the wife and the eldest daughter have asked you to do this, please take a seat!"
Nanny Li did have some back pain, but when she heard the lady speak, she stopped being so hypocritical.
"Then I will sit down."
Seeing Nanny Li sitting down, He Zhiran took out a giant panda doll and a pink long-eared rabbit doll from the empty space on the coffee table.
"Is this the kind of doll Mammy saw on the street?"
Nanny Li nodded continuously: "Yes, it is this doll. It is really expensive, twenty taels of silver each."
It was the first time that Mrs. He saw such a cute and beautifully colored doll.
She asked in disbelief, "Ran Ran, you just said this doll came from the Mohist school?"
"Yes, mother, these dolls sold on the market are all from the Mohist school."
At this time, Nanny Li seemed to remember something.
"There's another kind, a pendant made of rabbit hair, the colors are even more beautiful."
"Mammy, that's called a long-eared rabbit pendant, and it's also from the Mohist school."
After a pause, He Zhiran continued, "After we arrived in Xiling Village, we started raising rabbits. This plush pendant is made from our own rabbit skins. Don't be fooled by the high market price; the cost is actually very low."
There is a reason why He Zhiran said this.
At present, the living environment of the Mo family is not inferior to those of the wealthy families in the city, and may even be better. This silver and money must have a reasonable source.
Although selling plush dolls and raising rabbits are both profitable, it is hard to believe that so much money can be made all at once.
This is indeed the case. Since the Mo family arrived in Xiling Village, the industries they set up were not just built up with the profits from the sale of these plush dolls, but were more or less built up with the help of some money from the national treasury.
Mrs. He is not a businesswoman and has no financial acumen at all.
She only heard her daughter say that a doll cost twenty taels, and that the raw materials for the beautiful pendant were produced by the Mo family, and she already had no doubt about the Mo family's financial strength.
The Mo family has no shortage of money, and they can live a comfortable life, which is what Mrs. He likes most.
Although she couldn't see her daughter often, Mrs. He would feel at ease as long as she was living well.
Now seeing that Madam Mo and her son-in-law were caring for her precious daughter, Madam He finally felt relieved.
Of course, the other half that she couldn't let go of was the fact that she was pregnant with two children. Before Zhang San went to the capital to invite a gynecologist, she couldn't help but worry about it.
He Zhiran didn't know what his mother was thinking. Seeing that her face was no longer as sad as when she first saw him, he thought that she was relieved to see that he was living a good life.
At the same time, she also knew that her mother had traveled thousands of miles to the northwest at this time just to accompany her in childbirth, and she would probably not leave in the short term.
Madam Mo also has the same understanding.
"My mother-in-law is visiting the northwest this time, so you must stay for a while. You just arrived and you don't know yet, but we have a lot of new things in our house. I guarantee that once you move in, you won't want to leave."
If Mrs. He had said such words when her mother-in-law first entered the village, she would never have believed it.
Now seeing her daughter's beautiful house and furnishings, she knew that Madam Mo was not exaggerating.
This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The front and back of the house are so comfortable to look at, especially the room, which can be said to be more comfortable than the palace.
I don’t know what the seat under me is made of, but it’s soft. When I sit on it, I feel that most of the fatigue from the journey has dissipated.
It can be said that Mrs. He has begun to like this place.
"It's just as my mother-in-law said. I came here just to accompany Ranran during her birth. I'm afraid I'll have to bother her for a while longer."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. Our whole family is very happy that you can come."
While the two were in the guest room, the sisters-in-law who heard the news also rushed over one after another.
Not only did they come, they also brought watermelons and fruits that had been cooled in the well in their own yard.
The sisters-in-law were very enthusiastic towards my ninth brother's wife's mother. After greeting her, they began to recommend the delicious fruits they brought.
The second sister-in-law seemed the most active. She brought the cut watermelon to Mrs. He.
"Aunt He, please try this watermelon. It's a fruit that's unique to our Mo family and can't be bought anywhere else."
Mrs. He took a look at the watermelon and felt a little overwhelmed.
She had never seen this red thing cut into small pieces before, and most importantly, she didn't know how to eat it.
Seeing this, Madam Mo explained, "Mother-in-law, the red flesh of the watermelon is the best to eat. It's very hot, and it's just right to cool you down."
Mrs. He was a person who didn't dare to try new things, but because the Mo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were too enthusiastic, she had to take it.
