Chapter 1113: The incomprehensible Yan Yan

Chapter 1113 The incomprehensible Yan Yan

"This row of reverse seats is where you will live. Two people live in one room. You can discuss the arrangements yourself." Mo Yan led sixteen people straight to the reverse seats on the south side of the courtyard gate and pointed to the row of vacant seats. The house said to the ten maids and women.

Before you decide to buy someone, the place of residence has already been arranged. It's just that she previously planned to buy two big girls, four little girls and four rough ladies. Now that there are five more old people and one child, she has to arrange another place to live.

The door to the room is open, and you can clearly see what's going on inside. The ten people saw that the house looked like new. There were two small wooden beds facing each other inside. There were tables, chairs and wooden cabinets at the bedside. The bedding on the bed seemed to be new, and the floor was cleaner. It was better than when they were in Yaxing. I dont know how much better my residence was, and my heart gradually became calmer.

Mo Yan and others tidied up first, and after they had tidied up, they went to the main hall. He took the remaining five old people and children to the back seat on the north side, pointed to three rooms and said, "This will be the place from now on." The place where you live is the same for two people. I didnt know you would come before, so I didnt clean the house and buy anything. You can clean up by yourself later, and I will have someone send you quilts, beds and tables. "

The layout of the inverted houses on the north side is the same as that on the south side. One is facing the light and the other is facing away from the light. There are doors and windows that do not affect the light. During the snowstorms in the past few years, the villagers took advantage of these two rows of houses. . Previously, the three members of the Li family, including Li Yu, lived in the back seat near the courtyard gate. Later, when they planned to buy someone, they were asked to move into a few houses across the courtyard in advance.

"Thank you, miss." Several old people knew that Mo Yan sympathized with them, so they unexpectedly bought theirs. They all shed tears of gratitude and bowed to Mo Yan to express their gratitude.

Compared to those maids and women, these six people are much calmer. Buying them out of sympathy and being able to live in such a good house proved that the owner was indeed a kind person. At this moment, the helpless heart finally settled down.

Mo Yan nodded slightly, waved his hand and let them go about their business. Before you can figure out their respective temperaments, you can't treat these people as close as you treat the three members of the Li family. You must let them know the difference between master and servant. Otherwise, if you raise their hearts, who knows whether it will cause unknown things. Trouble.

Back in the main hall, Mo Yan sat on a chair and relaxed. She drank the honey water brought by Li Xiu. The unique sweet fragrance of honey filled her lips and tongue, and a feeling of happiness gradually came to her heart.

"Sister, how do you plan to arrange those old people?" Xin'er knew that among the six maids she bought, the two older ones belonged to her sister, the four younger ones belonged to her and Sheng'er, and the remaining four maids belonged to her. Responsible for the cleaning of the yard.

Mo Yan put down her tea cup and was about to say something when she saw the maids and women outside the door coming towards her, so she said, "I have some arrangements later, just listen."

These ten people were really well trained by Ya Xing. They walked carefully without showing any signs of irritation, nor did they flinch excessively, making them uncomfortable to watch.

When they reached the door, they stopped in unison. After getting Mo Yan's permission, they crossed the threshold and walked in. They separated into two rows and stood in front of Mo Yan with their heads half lowered.

Mo Yan nodded with satisfaction, while Xin'er beside her was already stunned. It seems that these people have better rules than the maids and ladies brought by the ladies that day. People who follow such rules are really worry-free, no wonder they need so much money.

Before everyone came, Mo Yan asked their names without saying anything. When I learned that they were called by numbers one, two, three, and four when they were in the dental shop, I twitched the corners of my eyes unconsciously and asked them their original names.

Then, Mo Yan was overwhelmed by the "Cui Hua", "Xiao Cui", "Da Ya" and "Wu Ya". She couldn't even call them out, so she had to give them new names.

Of course, she only named her two eldest girls and four mothers-in-law, leaving Xin'er and Sheng'er to figure out the remaining four little girls.

Your name is Yuanyue. Mo Yan pointed to one of the two girls with a round face and said, and then decided on the name of the other girl with eyebrows like distant mountains: Your name is E Mei.

The moon at the beginning of every month is also called Emei Yue. Well, she really likes the moon.

Comparing to the new names Yuan Yue and E Mei, the two girls suddenly felt that their original names were rubbish, but they liked them very much. They quickly knelt down and thanked them: "Thank you, girl, for the name."

Mo Yan nodded, his eyes falling on the four women in a row: "Just use your original surname and add the word 'sister-in-law' to the end of your surname."

The four womens faces were overjoyed, and they immediately accepted the new title: Thank you, my slave, for the name!

They were already old, and they had long ago not cared about whether their names sounded nice or not. They were actually very embarrassed when they were called Yuan Yue'er Mei. It's good to be able to go back to my original surname. Adding the word "sister-in-law" is simple and pleasant to the ears, and it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

Upon seeing this, Xin'er and Sheng'er also became very interested in naming their maid. The two of them had learned calligraphy and read books when they had nothing to do. They soon found a name that suited their liking from the beautiful and romantic Book of Songs.

So Xin'er named her two maids Jianjia and Hanlian respectively. Sheng'er named the two maids Guyu and Bailu respectively according to the solar terms.

The four maids thanked each other and knew who the master they would serve in the future was. Mo Yan deliberately selected these four people who were two years younger than Zhen'er and Sheng'er respectively, because Xin'er and Sheng'er were unlikely to marry into poor families, so these four people would inevitably be used as dowries. Go to her husband's house together and become their right-hand man.

By the time Xin'er and Sheng'er have established themselves in their husband's family, the four of them will be older and ready to go out to get married, so no one will be delayed.

This is a bit far-fetched, but Mo Yan has to think long-term for her two sisters. The four of them are all young, and even if they have deep thoughts, they will be able to tell after a few years that if one or two are reliable and do not betray the Lord, they will naturally follow the previous assumptions and give them a good home; if they behave badly, they will If you are disloyal to your master, you can only send him away early to avoid being involved in disaster.

Hin'er and Sheng'er naturally don't know about Mo Yan's good intentions. They were full of freshness about their respective maids. After choosing their names, they took them aside and asked them questions. After a while, the master and servant became familiar with each other and had a certain understanding of each other.

The two maids stood aside in a polite manner. Mo Yan did not say a word. They were determined not to say another word. The four women also lowered their eyebrows and looked politely.

Not long after, five old men and children who had already packed the house came over. As usual, Mo Yan gave them new names, adding the character "Bob" to the end of their surname. The only child was named "Zhang Sheng", so he continued to be called Zhang Sheng.

Now that everyone is here, lets arrange the specific tasks for each of you to do. Mo Yan summoned everyone in front of him with the momentum that a master should have. She looked at Uncle Huang, who was standing on the far left side of the front row, and said, "You have been a housekeeper before. I want to be a housekeeper. From now on, you will continue to be a housekeeper. You will arrange everything according to your needs, and I will give you a salary every month." Two denarii of moonsilver.

One tael of silver is not much. Like the housekeeper of the Han family, a month's worth of silver is two taels. Of course, the Han family has a lot of affairs, and the housekeeper has a lot to do. Two taels of silver per month is moderate, neither too much nor too little.

There are only a few people in the Mo family, and they dont have much to do. However, when necessary, they must help Mo Yan take care of external affairs. One tael of silver is appropriate. She will add more as appropriate if she performs well in the future or if her affairs increase.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Huang knelt down slowly but firmly, and kowtowed deeply to Mo Yan. He said nothing, but wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand when he stood up.

Then, Mo Yan made arrangements for the great-grandchildren of the Zhang family: "We have several cows and horses at home. From now on, they will be taken care of and raised by you two. You will take them out to graze in spring, summer and autumn, and feed them every day in winter." Just feed them fodder and water and clean the shed every three days.

After Rhubarb, Two Yellow and Three Yellow gave birth to calves respectively, the Mo family had six cows. Mo Yan couldn't bear to sell any of them, so he raised them all. Rhubarb, Erhuang and Sanhuang were also reluctant to have their children sold to other families, but it was impossible for the Mo family to raise their offspring without restrictions.

So they took the initiative to tell Mo Yan not to breed them anymore. When they get old and can no longer do the work, they will let their children continue to reproduce. Each cow will give birth once in its life. In this way, their family will always be together and will not be a burden to the Mo family.

The scalpers' advanced "family planning" policy made Mo Yan feel distressed, but she had to agree. Although Da Chu also protects cattle, it is not strict. For example, if the cow is sick and is not treated, or if the cow is exhausted from work, the owner will not be punished in any way.

This has caused many people to take advantage of the situation and regard cows as cash cows, leasing them to others during busy farming periods. In this way, cows have endless work to do every day, and sometimes they even dont have enough to eat. Therefore, their lifespan is generally Not long, in short, his life was very miserable.

Rhubarb, Erhuang and Sanhuang can come up with birth control methods, which is what they also consider.

As for Xiao Hei and Da Hong Zao, although they are one male and one female, Da Hong Zao is old and unwilling to give birth to a calf even though she is very healthy and strong. Together with Xiao Hei, they get along more like mother and son. Even if Xiao Hei is in heat, he will not give birth to a pony, so the number of horses in the Mo family has not increased.

The horse raised in the Zhuangyuan Mansion and used to pull the carriage is also a male. He spends very little time in the Mo family, and with Uncle Sun taking care of him, there is no need to worry about it.

Both cows and horses have intelligence. Let them go outside to graze and they will know how to come back. However, it is better for someone to take care of them, lest anyone with malicious intentions try to take advantage of them. In a neighboring village, there was an incident where a cow was killed and disemboweled while grazing alone outside, and then dragged away and sold.

The great-grandson and grandson of the Zhang family also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mo Yan. They made up their minds to herd cattle and horses. As long as they were useful, they would not be sold again or even be driven out to wander.

Mo Yan made arrangements for the remaining three people respectively. The oldest one who can't do heavy work is the concierge. Those who know a little about flowers and plants are responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard. The last one, called Mu Bo, is an unexpected surprise.

Mubo used to be a medicinal farmer and was very good at taking care of medicinal materials. But one year, when the medicine garden was about to harvest, someone plotted against it and the medicine garden was destroyed overnight.

Because he signed a supply contract with the medicine store, Mubo ran out of medicinal materials and was sued by the medicine store in court. Mubo was forced to pay the huge compensation after losing his entire family. But misfortunes never come singly. When he couldn't bear the blow and was seriously ill in bed, his wife couldn't bear the huge gap from heaven to earth, so she left him and ran away with their only son.

Later, his son was killed by a cold wind. In despair, he no longer had the ambition to start over, so he sold himself and came to the capital. He was less than forty years old, but he already had white hair and a face full of vicissitudes of life. He looked older than Uncle Huang, who was in his sixties.

"Mu Bo, there happens to be a medicine garden at home. From now on, you will take care of the medicine garden. I will arrange a few children for you, and then you will teach them." Mo Yan made a decision immediately. Mu Bo's arrival was simply It's a timely help.

Woo-wu-wu-wu-wu- Mu Bo didnt expect to have the opportunity to touch the medicinal materials. He was stunned for a moment and then burst into tears. With the comfort of others, it took him a long time to stop crying and kowtow to Mo Yan to thank him.

Mo Yan looked at Mu Bo, whose eyes were bursting with vitality, with a slight smile on his face: "Then the medicine garden will be left to you. If it can't be taken care of well, I will have to hire someone else."

Mu Bo looked firm: "Girl, I will take good care of the medicine garden. I will also do my best to teach the children that I have arranged for you to come here."

Mo Yan nodded with satisfaction, and the matter was settled.

Sending these people down to get familiar with the new environment, Mo Yan slumped on the chair without any image, not wanting to move but just wanting to sleep.

Xin'er ran over to cause trouble, scratched her sister's waist twice, and said with a smile: "We are going on a trip tomorrow, and we have to play for a few days. Do we have to prepare the things we need to prepare?"

Mo Yan suddenly sat up straight, patted her head and said, "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. I don't know where dad is taking us to play, and I'm not sure what to prepare."

This Xin'er also didn't know, and just as she was about to shake her head, Sheng'er said: "Yesterday, I heard from my stepfather and stepmother that they would go to Baohua Temple to worship the Bodhisattva first, and maybe they would stay there for a day."

Baohua Temple? The two sisters looked at each other and thought it was very possible.

"Let's forget about it for now. Mom and dad will be back in the afternoon. Just ask them what to prepare. There's still time to clean up in the evening." Mo Yan was too lazy to worry about this matter, as long as he could go out and play.

Xiner nodded and said nothing.

As the sun was about to go down, Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou came back. Xiao Ruiyuan came with them, but they met them on the road.

Mo Qingze didn't say anything about Xiao Ruiyuan's intention to go on a trip with their family, which made Mo Yan, who was a little worried at first, feel relieved.

But in fact, she was relieved too early. The next day, a group of people came to the foot of Baohua Temple. They looked at the steps that went straight into the sky and could not see the top, and the five members of their family and himself, a total of six people. When Xiao Ruiyuan was carrying a heavy burden, she couldn't help but sigh that Jiang was still the boss, and her father was too calculating.

However, Mo Qingzes plan to meet again could not cope with having a troublesome daughter. Mo Yan decisively distributed the six burdens to the six beasts, allowing them to bite each one.

Baohua Temple is located halfway up the mountain. There was originally a flat shortcut road that could be reached directly by horse-drawn carriage, but it was not interesting to go up this way.

So, the family went around to the back of Baohua Temple and climbed up the steep steps. They could not only enjoy the scenery along the way, but also challenge themselves. If I really cant climb anymore, I can still go down the mountain and take a carriage to go up from the front.

It is said that there are sixteen sections of stairs leading to Baohua Temple, each section has ninety steps, which adds up to one thousand four hundred and forty steps. It is difficult for people without some physical strength and perseverance to walk up.

It was okay at first, the steps were not too steep, and everyone was chatting and laughing easily. After about a moment, it became a bit difficult to lift the legs, especially Cui Qingrou, who was in the weakest physical condition. She was almost half-supported by Mo Qingze before she could barely walk up the steps. The two of them gradually fell behind.

What are you looking at? Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan had the best physical strength and walked side by side at the front. Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan looking back from time to time, Mo Yan couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at his fiance, who was full of energy and seemed to have endless strength. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "It's nothing." He paused for a moment and asked proactively: "Are you tired?"

Mo Yan shook her head and said in a manly tone: "I'm not tired. If it weren't for waiting for my father and the others, I would have climbed up long ago."

When Xiao Ruiyuan heard this, the disappointment in his eyes became even stronger. He was silent and silent, but his steps gradually slowed down.

Mo Yan thought he was too tired to walk. Seeing that his father, mother and sister were far behind, he asked, "Why don't you stop and have a rest? Wait for them to come and then we can walk together?"

Xiao Ruiyuan shook his head and continued walking up step by step.

Mo Yan obviously felt that his mood was not right, but she didn't know what was wrong. She scratched her head and had to follow him.

By the time the group reached the ninth step, Cui Qingrou's legs were so weak that she could no longer walk. Fortunately, there is a pavilion for resting on each step, so the six of them stopped to rest at the ninth step.

Mo Qingze, Xin'er, and Sheng'er were also very tired. They needed to rest and gather strength before they could continue walking. Even Xiao Ruiyuan, who was in good physical strength, began to breathe quickly. The only thing that was normal was Mo Yan's cheeks. He was slightly red, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but he didn't look embarrassed at all.

Mo Yan looked at the bright sun, and while using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of Sheng'er who was slumped on the stone table and unable to move, she asked other people for their opinions: "It's noon now, and I can't catch up with Baohua Temple to eat vegetarian food. How about we use some dry food here and rest for a while before leaving?"

"Yeah." Mo Qingze responded, and the others had no objection. In fact, they were already tired and hungry.

When Mo Yan saw this, he shouted loudly at the top of the steps. After a while, the six beasts who had already run ahead ran down with their bundles on their backs.

But just when Mo Yan was unpacking his bag and preparing to take out the dry food, two young novices came down carrying a food box each...

Rui Rui looked depressed: Why is my daughter-in-law so swollen?
