And because of that, Princess Jing'an had temporarily replaced Mu Rousang in eating so much that oil flowed from her mouth and the meat on her cheeks swelled up.
After a day, Princess Jing'an took a sip of the scented tea and laughed: ”Husband, no wonder you and little sister are so concerned about this old land. So this is how it is, even I want to move here from the capital.”
Mu Jinzhi sipped on his chrysanthemum tea and smiled with satisfaction: ”I've agreed. When I become old, I will resign and return home, and you and I will raise flowers and grasses. That's right, my sister knows how to raise chickens and pigs, and the pigs she raises are even fatter and more delicious than the meat normal people feed us.
Speaking up to here, he almost drooled, and called out: ”Fu Kang!”
Zhang Fukang was the nephew of Wangcai Wife. Ever since he married his stepwife, he had one daughter and one son. His wife had another daughter in her womb.
”Young master, your servant has come.”
Mu Jinzhi thought for a moment, then said: ”This year, there are a lot of chickens fed at home, later you can tell cook to kill an old hen and cook some Clear Broth, and tonight we will eat dinner at home. The village chief, Second Uncle Qin's family, Master Zhu's family and Brother Ping An's family will all be invited to have a meal together.”
Zhang Fukang remembered something and said: ”Yes, yes, young master, last year's brewed Peach Blossom Wine s still had a jar buried under the Peach Blossom Tree. It was a letter from the young lady before their marriage, saying that next year's young master has come back, and it is for you to use as a guest.”
Princess Jing'an was very envious of the Mu Jinzhi siblings. She thought about how her brothers had not treated her as they did in the past after marrying their sister-in-law.
Mu Jinzhi laughed heartily: ”Since it is my orders, then take it out. I will have to have a good meal and drink in order to live up to my good intentions.”
Just as Zhang Fukang was about to leave, he heard another question: ”Is Granddad's body better now?”
He only said that he had nothing to look forward to, and his life was a comfortable one for the rest of his life. Now that the young lady had gotten married, he stopped trying to feed the chickens and sweep the courtyard, his memory was not as good as it was in the past years, and he would often forget things and people.
Just like when Mu Jinzhi entered the house, he asked which family's young master it was, or else he would wake up the next day and forget who the Princess Jing'an was.
”Wangfu-Tzu was busy with stewards in the capital, so he could not come over when he was free, so he called Shi Shu to persuade the old man.”
Zhang Fukang sighed, but in the end he still said: ”It's hard to leave his homeland, he has been guarding this countryside his entire life, and he has never been to any other place, it would be difficult for him to leave here and go to the capital.”
In truth, how could Mu Jinzhi not know of it? It was just that the Wangfu-Tzu and his family would definitely follow them to the capital, and would naturally not leave the Granddad alone there.
”I hope that Shi Shu can move that old man. Without him in front of me, Shi Shu would probably feel uneasy even if he were to get married.”
This was also why Mu Jinzhi had to bring Shi Shu back. No matter what, he had to bring the old man to the capital.
”When you have free time, you should try to persuade him. In the future, Wangfu-Tzu and Aunt Wang will accompany him back to his homeland.”
Zhang Fukang hurriedly replied. He was also unwilling to part with Granddad and go to the north, but Mu Jinzhi's actions were not wrong.
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Mu Jinzhi and Princess Jing'an took off their luxurious clothing and changed into simple clothes and shoes, then brought them to the Mu Family cemetery at the foot of the mountain.
Mu Jinzhi sighed and said: ”Father and mother passed away early, and only my sister and I lived together. At that time, I made a heavy oath that I would take good care of my sister, and that she would marry as the young lady of the Shangguan family. Secondly, I would make a heavy promise in front of my parents' grave, and in the future, I would definitely work hard to bring glory to our family and make our parents smile.”
In the past few days, Princess Jing'an had seen a lot of things. When she was alone, she would often look at the beautiful scenery in a daze, she could feel the affection between the two siblings in the small mountain village, whether it was people or things. At the same time, she could not see any of these things in the capital, but they could shock her heart at times.
”Husband, I will accompany you until you're old. After we go back, we will work hard to raise more children. Don't be afraid, your wife's food will collect a lot of taxes each year. We can raise seven or eight of them.”
Mu Jinzhi looked down at her. At that moment, no matter how strong a man was, he could still twist his fingers and bend his fingers. Even though there was no romantic poem, he could feel the sincerity in Princess Jing'an's heart.
His ears were slightly hot, so he embarrassedly moved his face away. Seeing that the two of them had unknowingly arrived at the grave, he pointed to it and said: ”Look, that is my Mu Clan's tomb. In the future, it will be the Mu Clan's tomb.”
