The village chief smiled sinisterly, ”Heh heh, this is a very serious time. They will be able to cheat a lot of good students back. Besides, how can a normal village compare to our little mountain village?”
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. The Elementary Scholars were all Elementary Scholars, and the village head went to believe that the matter had been brought up in secret. They believed that the reputation of the small mountain village would once again rise to a whole new level.
”Village Head, how can you lie to those students?”
”Hehe, open your eyes wide and see if our little mountain village is beautiful or not!” The Village Chief stroked the goatee in a very smug manner. The unhappiness he had felt these days had loosened up a lot because of his words.
All the families in the village were green bricks and deva tiles. All of their children were literate, had a good knowledge of books and knowledge, and Mu Rousang was a lover of beauty. On the small mountain village's leisurely path, people had grown many flowers and plants over the years.
Although it was not as delicate as the garden of a noble family, it was still rare for it to contain a bit of wild interest. When spring came once a year, the village chief used this reason to get the village students to come back.
After Mu Rousang heard the gossip that was brought back in the spring, he covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled: ”The older you are, the wiser you are. As expected of us Village Head Grandpa, with this, our little sisters will no longer have to worry about marrying each other!”
She then calmed down and said: ”Chun Yi, go and bring the red cloud brocade that Yang Zixuan sent over yesterday. Your lady, I am going to start embroidering the dowry.”
Yang Zixuan could finally bring her a peaceful life, just like now. Although everything was chaotic outside, but her little house was calm and peaceful, without any worries.
When Chun Yan and the others heard this, they began flipping through their boxes, tidying up their embroidery racks and placing them back in the brocade boxes. As they were busy, they heard the sound of an official recruiting staff.
”Miss, Wang Cai has returned!”
Mu Rousang immediately put down the embroidery in her hand, and indicated for Chun Yi and the rest to continue twisting the thread, and brought out the door for the second time in the morning.
”Granddad, Wangfu-Tzu is back? Where's my brother? ”
”To reply young lady, there was someone from the village who came to look for young master. Now, young master, young master Biao, future young master, they have all gone with those people to hunt wild game on the mountain.”
Mu Rousang was not worried after hearing that, and asked: ”Where are the Wangfu-Tzu people?”
”He went to the kitchen and got quite a lot of fresh and plump carp from the village. This morning, he took some fish and rushed back.”
Before long, Wangcai came in to pay her respects. ”My lady, my great greetings!”
”Now that your body is much more agile, it will only take a few more days for you to fully recover. How come you don't have to busy yourself with farming in the county and come to the countryside?”
Mu Rousang thought, but continued to ask this question in her mind.
”Regarding Fu Kang's first wife, the yamen had already settled it. After this servant received the news, I will first settle the case, the silver has already been chased back.”
He took off his blue bag and took out a large bag of silver.
”Knowing that the young lady is at home and afraid that the banknotes are useless, the servant went to the accounting room to exchange them for silver and brought the banknotes over.”
Mu Rousang did not order much silver, and only asked: ”How did she do it?”
”The young miss has always been kind, yet she was also called the little one who helped out the yamen, that old lady was not hurt by the staff, she only captured her family members and locked them up for a few days, then beat her brother up for twenty times, and then after being interrogated they also admitted, and that was the compensation for the money, the servant took the young master's card, and told the family to take the ransom, and give the woman's indenture contract to the family, and then prepared a case for her.”
At first, Mu Rousang did not know what was wrong with the staff. However, due to the Aunt Liu's explanation, she found out that the woman had been hit by the staff at the yamen, causing her to be stripped of her pants and be beaten up bare-chested. From then on, even if she was wronged, she would not be able to find a way out.
She gestured for Chun Yan to take the silver away and said, ”Don't blame me for this matter. The house definitely can't accommodate such a wealthy person, and the two mansions are still fine. Now that spring is here, you shouldn't be slacking off.
When he saw that she did not reprimand him, he was overjoyed. He replied more and more seriously, ”Don't worry Miss, I have already arranged these things well before I came.”
Mu Rousang was still very confident about this matter, and thought that next year, she would have to move to the Capital City. She smiled and said: ”My brother wants to study in the Capital City, I'm afraid that my uncle will have to stay there to continue his duties.
”Miss, can the servants …” Wanjin wanted to go to the capital with his masters. How could he be any better in the county than with his masters?
She chuckled: ”Shi Shu and Yan Mo will definitely accompany each other. I have discussed this with big brother and if my family is really heading to the capital at that time, I would have to bring you two along as well.”
”Thank you, young lady!”
”Don't be so anxious to thank him, other than that, I think Fu Kang will still be useful to me, I do not wish to call the New daughter-in-law over to serve him, if you follow us into the capital …” ”Look at him again. If it's appropriate, then teach him well. In the end, the stewards of the two villas are still worried.”
