Chapter 33
The corners of Xia Yang's mouth twitched, he was really impolite, he didn't ask Mu Qing how he was, nor did he care about Mu Qing's life after marriage, as expected, Mu Qing used to be polite when he said things about his mother and his family.
"You came early, breakfast hasn't been made yet, Mu Qing is not at home, this time the imperial court sent troops to the barbarians, he also went, although he has already won the battle, but I don't know what's going on with Mu Qing, except after the first letter, He hasn't written to me all this time, I hope nothing happens to him," Xia Yang said to Mu Ju who was sitting in the main room.
"Who are these Xia Yang?" Mu Yun just woke up and came over to ask after hearing the voice from the main room.
"Ah Mu, these are Mu Qing's Ah Mu and his two younger brothers," Xia Yang introduced to Mu Yun.
"So it's my mother-in-law," Mu Yun heard that it was Mu Qing's mother. He was not particularly satisfied with Mu Qing at first, and his son insisted on marrying him. Later, when he got along with Mu Qing, he realized that although the child He doesn't look like a brother, but he is very kind to the elders and juniors, and he loves Xia Yang very much. This is what Mu Yun is most satisfied with.
"We haven't eaten since we came here. You go and make breakfast. My son and I are both hungry," Mu Ju said with a bit of arrogance. His son is a general after all. Even if he is demoted, he is still an official. Tangerine is always superior.
"I'll do it right now. It's dark today. I got up late and haven't made breakfast at home," Mu Yun didn't mind. Mu Qing is a very good child. It's hard for his son to be caught between Mu Qing and him. Mu Yun himself has not been happy in his life, but he hopes that his son will be happy in this life.
Xia Yang frowned and was a little unhappy, but thinking that this troubled mother-in-law might say something too much, it's better to let his mother make breakfast to avoid it, Xia Yang didn't want his mother to hear worse words.
"Xia Yang, you are Mu Qing's husband-in-law now. Our family agreed at the beginning that Mu Qing would give the family two taels of silver every month. He must have mentioned it to you. He hasn't sent it home for three months. In the past, Usually it is sent once every six months. Since he is married this time, you, the husband’s family, will give it to us. It won’t take half a year, and the next year will be sent to us. And since you are married to my elder brother My son, I didn’t inform us that this is out of etiquette, so I don’t want more from you. This year’s silver is 24 taels, and you don’t want too much dowry. Make up 100 taels of silver, and don’t forget that every year You have to send 24 taels of silver back," Mu Ju said to Xia Yang, lifting her chin.
Xia Yang was so annoyed by Mu Ju's words, he entered his house from this family, and didn't ask how Mu Qing was doing in his house, what's the situation, and never said anything about money, money, Mu Qing is a brother , They are all married, and they still have to raise two grown-up younger brothers, or even that family, which is simply unreasonable. According to Mu Ju, wouldn't it be biting Mu Qing to support this family for a lifetime.
In fact, Xia Yang is a modern person. If there is really no one to take care of Mu and Dad in the Mu family, and the family is really too poor, Xia Yang will definitely not mind serving the elderly and taking care of his younger brother. The three of them took it for granted that it was okay if there was no gratitude to Mu Qing in their words, and there was still dissatisfaction with Mu Qing in their words.
"Mu Qing has already married into my family. Since you have entered my family, you are naturally a member of my family. Since you are Mu Qing's mother, since you are here, I will treat you well. As for the money, I have never heard of getting married. There is no such precedent in the Dayin Dynasty. As for the dowry, since you want the dowry, should you give the dowry first? I know that Mu Qingnian gave you more than 20 yuan Two silvers, this dowry can't be less than one hundred taels, right?" Xia Yang said angrily.
He felt aggrieved for Mu Qing in his heart. He was very kind to his family, but his mother and younger brother didn't care about him at all. Even his newborn grandson was not mentioned by his grandmother, as if there was no such person. Xia Yang has already felt aggrieved for Xia Tian of their family.
"What are you talking about? You secretly got married without telling us. How dare you say such a thing. I don't agree with my son marrying you. When he comes back, I will let you reconcile. You are so disrespectful to the elders," Mu Ju heard. Not only was Xia Yang unwilling to give him money, but when he wanted to take money from him, it would be tantamount to cutting his flesh. Mu Ju thought that if the eldest son was with such a person, he would probably have to suffer in the future. It's a penny, absolutely not, without Mu Qing's money, how would their family live.
Mu Ju never thought that Mu Qing would cut off the family's money that day, and that's why they never wanted Mu Qing to get married, because they even looked down on Mu Qing, what's wrong with the concierge , as long as the family has money, it is fine to subsidize Yue's family, but the family that Mu Qing likes, let alone subsidize the family, just don't want to be subsidized by the family. Now this one is even worse, and even wants to get money from him.
"For an old man who doesn't respect you, how can he be respected? Mu Qing finally got married and now has children. It's okay for you as an empress to not bless you, but how are you doing now? You're still reconciled. Intended to break up his son's family, did you do this, I think you are the only one in Dayin," Xia Yang scolded, he never expected to hear such a thing from Mu Qing's mouth If not, this is simply touching Xia Yang's scales.
"Xia Yang, right? My brother promised to give the family two taels of silver every month. It can't be over just because my brother married you. He is a brother. Now that the law has come out, no brother who is an official is allowed to marry. People, my brother still has a position, you are the crime of deceiving the emperor, if you don’t take out the money, I will go to the Yamen to report you, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor,” Mu Chen said looking at Xia Yang, thinking in his heart Xia Yang should be scared now.
He was a little flustered, he already had a child in his family, and now his wife was pregnant again, and the child was about to be born, if he couldn't get the money from his elder brother, he didn't know how he would live in the future.All the money in the family was built by them to build a big house. They never thought that the elder brother would cut off their money. I knew they should save some money to buy land and fields. The money that the elder brother gave in the past can buy at least dozens of acres of good land Well, it's good now, except for the big house, I have no income, and I just wait for my elder brother's 24 taels of silver to live.
"Sue, sue now, we have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor but we want to destroy the Nine Clans, so you are outside the Nine Clans, don't even look at my family with Mu Qing, there are only five members, how many members does your family have?" As for people, it’s the crime of deceiving the emperor. If we die, none of us will run away, and it would be great to go to hell together," Xia Yang said with a low smile, and was amused by Mu Chen.
What Mu Chen said was thoughtless, and it was because of this that Mu Qing still refused to go to the government office to register with him. Although they were married in name and even had children, in fact they were still married Not recognized by the laws of the Dayin Dynasty, and not a real husband and wife, Xia Yang didn't know how much he hated that stupid emperor. You were unable to prevent the assassination, so why did you blame all your brothers.
"What are you talking about, the crime of deceiving the emperor, is Mu Chen true? Your elder brother committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, what should we do, what should we do? Let's go quickly, don't be implicated by them, that white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with, It will bring bad luck to the family, let's go," Mu Ju pulled the two sons with a pale face, turned around and left without a word, staggering like a tiger chasing after him, shocking Xia Yang He was dumbfounded, what was the matter, just now he just ran away after asking him for money.
When Mu Yun walked into the main room, some strange people disappeared, and he didn't know what his son said, which scared the whole family away, and he couldn't think of anything else except this Mu Yun.
"Xia Yang, you didn't say anything bad, right? You are also Mu Qing's family. Now that we have summer, you have to live well with Mu Qing. Don't offend Mu Qing's family too much. If Mu Qing knows the psychological It will be uncomfortable, he is good to our family, even better to you, we should reciprocate, don't make things difficult for Mu Qing," Mu Yunyu said to his son earnestly.
"Mum, I know, I didn't scare them, they scared themselves. They ran away because they were afraid that Mu Qing and I would get involved. It's okay," Xia Yang said. Xia Yang didn't plan to take care of Mu Qing's relatives. After Mu Qing came back, he decided to do whatever he wanted. Originally, Xia Yang thought that when the family understood that they should be grateful to Mu Qing, he would give 20 taels of silver to let the family live on. Scared away, but saved him trouble.
Before leaving Beijing, Mu Qing went to his hometown. After hearing from his old father that Ah Mu and his younger brother had gone to Mujia Village, he put down 30 taels of silver and left right away, fearing that Ah Mu and his younger brother would do something to embarrass Xia Yang. He knows that his family's mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, unlike his father, as long as he gets money, he won't take care of his business.
Xia Yang once again received a letter from Mu Qing, which said that Mu Qing would be back soon, the weather was getting colder, let him take good care of his family and children, and prepare winter clothes and shoes, all kinds of miscellaneous things A lot of miscellaneous.
And the only thing that catches Xia Yang's eyes is the sentence "I'll be back soon." Seeing these words, Xia Yang became excited. Mu Qing is coming back. It's been more than three months. He misses that person so much. Not seeing each other every day is like three autumns. He and Mu Qing haven't seen each other for so many days. I don't know how many years have passed. Mu Qing should miss him very much.
Xia Yang lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, counting the time of the letter, and counting the time when Mu Qing would arrive home, Xia Yang didn't fall asleep at midnight.This kind of movement woke up the sweet Xia Tian who was sleeping next to him. The little guy didn't give Xia Yang any face, and started crying, how could it be, how could he disturb the baby's sleeping ability, it was an unforgivable crime.
Xia Yang coaxed Xia Tian, and after seeing that the diaper was not wet, Xia Yang kissed the little guy, thinking that he might be hungry, so he put the little guy on the cradle and shook it, the colored ball on the top of the cradle was shaking gently, Xiao Xia Yang Only then did the crying subside.Xia Yang then ran to milk the goat milk, squeezed half a bowl of goat milk and put it in the pot of the small stove to simmer, the red charcoal fire quickly ignited the dry wood, and the half bowl of goat milk was cooked quickly, Xia Yang gently While waiting for the goat's milk to cool down, Xia Tian was tired of crying and fell asleep while the cradle was slowly rocking.
Xia Yang looked helplessly at the already warm goat milk. His little baby actually fell asleep for him at this critical moment. If he could still feed him with a feeding bottle, now that the baby has fallen asleep, he can’t feed him at all. It was a waste of work just now, Xia Yang felt so uncomfortable, he could only gently hug the baby in the cradle back to the big bed, Xia Yang would never wake the baby to sleep, adequate sleep is crucial to the growth and development of the child important.
After this commotion, Xia Yang didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. Before falling asleep, Xia Yang was still thinking about when Mu Qing would be able to go home.
It was already dark when Mu Qing arrived in Liuzhou, but thinking of Xia Yang and the children at home, Mu Qing did not stay in Liuzhou, but stayed in an inn after dinner, got on his horse and continued on his way. He has been here many times, Although it is not to the point where you can recognize the road with your eyes closed, you can still recognize the road clearly with the moonlight and starlight.
Mu Qing just arrived at the town when the sky was slightly bright. After arriving here, Mu Qing speeded up. Mu Qing really knew the road here with his eyes closed. Mu Qing had walked this road many times. This time, it was Mu Qing who was most eager to return to Mujia Village, just because of the concern in his heart.
Mu Yun got up early in the morning. The cry of a child came from his son's room in the middle of the night last night. Mu Yun listened to it sincerely, and it was hard for the child. He had to take care of Xia Tian every night. Mu Yun thought maybe He has to help watch Xia Tian at night, and let his son have a rest.
Just when Mu Yun opened the door, there was a knock on the door outside the yard, and Mu Yun's nerves immediately tensed up. Could it be that family came back? Although his son didn't say anything, Mu Yun also knew that family He must have said something that made his son angry, otherwise his children are the most sensible, and they would never cause trouble to the elders, let alone do anything to be sorry to the elders.
Mu Yun opened the door and looked at the tall figure standing beside the horse. He was a little excited. It was Mu Qing who came back. Now it's all right, and his son doesn't have to suffer from the lovesickness anymore.
"Mu Qing, you are back, come in quickly, Xia Yang misses you every day, and Xia Tian has grown up a lot, the whole white, fat and cute is extremely cute, please keep your voice down, don't wake up Xia Yang and Xia Tian, it was midnight last night They were still making noise, and they didn't sleep peacefully until dawn," Mu Yun said to Mu Qing, opening the courtyard door.
Mu Qing tied the horse in the stable, washed his hands and face, and then opened the door of the bedroom and walked in. Inside, Xia Yang and the baby were sleeping peacefully. It was because of lack of sleep. Xia Yang slept next to Xia Yang, with a pink, tender, white and chubby little face, much fatter than when he left. Just when Mu Qing wanted to touch Xia Tian's little face, he fell asleep. The corner of the little guy's mouth suddenly bent, and Mu Qing's hand that was about to fall stopped immediately. This was the first time he saw a two-month-old child laughing. The cute Mu Qing didn't dare to disturb the little guy at all.
Xia Yang called Mu Qing in a daze, and Mu Qing reached out and rubbed Xia Yang's head. He was not at home during this time, it was really hard for Xia Yang to be both a father and a mother. Mu Qing was very happy that Xia Yang could take care of the child How can a child grow so well without paying enough attention.
Xia Yang felt that someone was sitting in front of the bed, and he yelled in a daze. After hearing Mu Qing's response, Xia Yang, who was about to continue sleeping, suddenly realized something was wrong. When the tall man in front of the bed smiled at him, Xia Yang was completely fascinated by the smile, he was stunned for a while, just as Xia Yang wanted to speak, his lips were blocked by Mu Qing, and he could only hear the vague words Mu Qing .The author has something to say: Mu Qing came back to see the fat baby
