Chapter 228 Leisurely Life
In early summer, Yun Xi took Le Zai to the farm to escape the heat.
Her life is very leisurely now, and all aspects of her food, clothing, housing and transportation have basically reached a level that satisfies her.
There is a high degree of freedom and the interpersonal relationships are very harmonious. There is nothing to worry about.
The system told her that after his evaluation, even if she did nothing, the world would enter a period of rapid development in the next ten years or so, whether in agriculture or handicrafts.
And the overall development level will be higher than that of the parallel world of the same period.
He no longer encouraged Yun Xi to do anything, and let her make all the decisions on her own.
The road from Kyoto to the farm has been paved with cement, and there are some roadside trees planted on both sides of the road. They are the peach, apricot, plum and napi trees that are common in this world. Most of them are still small trees, but every few sections there will be one or two big trees transplanted from other places, which have grown lush and green.
Mu Sheng is still reliable. After Yun Xi talked to him last time, he gave priority to repairing this road. Of course, it could also be the emperor's preferential treatment for Duke Yun.
At this time of year, apricots are out of season and peaches are not yet ripe. Lezai scooped watermelon with a small spoon on the carriage, while Yunxi refused this diuretic on the road, only occasionally eating some dried fruit and drinking a few sips of water when thirsty.
Le Zai asked her why she didn't eat, but Yun Xi didn't answer. She just said, "Take some time to have someone build a toilet on the way."
We walked and stopped along the way, and it was already noon when we arrived at the farm.
Mu Sheng wanted to see them off, but Yun Xi refused. They were already familiar with this route, and there were guards following them, so there was no need for him to make this trip.
The mother and daughter waved goodbye to him and left.
Mu Sheng said to Mu Xuan: "Why do I feel like they don't seem to be reluctant to let me go at all?"
Mu Xuan said: "Be more confident and remove the 'seemingly'."
This is a sentence his sister-in-law often said, and it was the most appropriate thing to give to his brother.
Mu Sheng: "... Humph, what do you know? I just said it casually. I don't know how much your sister-in-law and Lezi miss me."
Mu Xuan: "As long as you are happy."
Mu Sheng: “…”
Looking at his brother's frustrated look, Mu Xuan walked away triumphantly.
He learned these weird and weird words from his sister-in-law. There are no bad words, but the effect of irritating people is really first-class.
It's not that he doesn't have brotherly love, it's just that his brother is a bit of a jerk. If his sister-in-law embroiders a handkerchief for him, he will show it off to her a hundred times, and he is tired of talking about it and hearing it.
The handkerchief was really beautiful and he wanted it too, but unfortunately he had nowhere to take it. He couldn't ask his sister-in-law to embroider it for him, could he?
Moreover, Lezi and Ayan both have many purses embroidered by their eldest sister-in-law, and many of Lezi's clothes are made by their eldest sister-in-law, with special marks on them. What do people say? Only his eldest brother has the least things, and he has the nerve to show off here! He really shows off everything he lacks!
Humph! Showing affection to singles is a recipe for disaster.
Mu Sheng looked at his brother's heroic back, threw his sleeves in anger, and looked in the direction where Yun Xi and the others left. Forget it, I'll work hard for my son.
The arrival of Yunxi and Lezai made the entire farm festive.
Everyone knows that the young master will be the successor of the Duke in the future. He is not only the young master of the Mu family, but also the young master of the Yun Duke's Mansion. This is what Father Yun told his servants before the emperor's decree was officially issued.
Once the decree was issued, it became clearer.
Moreover, the old man was happy when the young master and the eldest lady came, and when the old man was happy, he liked to give everyone rewards.
It is said that this habit was learned from the eldest daughter. When she was happy, she would wave her hands and throw money, and those who served her, no matter how far or near, would get a share.
The old man has inherited all his daughter's skills.
Moreover, even if there was no reward, they were happy. The eldest lady and the young master were very easy to serve, and as long as they did their best, they would praise them highly. This alone was enough to make everyone happy for a long time.
The two men were not arrogant. They were not the kind of masters who took people's lives lightly and would criticize them at every turn.
Dad Yun was even happier.
When Yun Xi had just gotten married, his thoughts were still quite conservative. Even though he missed his daughter, he would not keep her for long, for fear that she would be embarrassed in her husband's family.
Now, he wishes his daughter and grandson could live here permanently. His own ideas are very important, and the happiness of his daughter and grandson is very important, and everything else has to stand aside.
He picked up the flying Lezi and shook him up and down: "It has grown in weight again."
"Zizi ate a lot of cold melon."
"Really? Grandpa, check if the melon is ripe."
Lezi lifted up his shirt, revealing his bulging white belly. Dad Yun flicked it and said, "It's cooked."
The two of them can have a good time.
"Grandpa, I want to go swimming."
"You've been sitting in the car for half a day. Aren't you tired? Take a break before going swimming?"
"Not tired, not tired, let's go now."
"Okay, Grandpa will go with you."
Yun Xi reminded him, "Go pee first."
"oh oh."
Lezi struggled for a while, slid off Yundie, and ran away in a hurry.
I didn’t feel it just now, but when I heard the word “pee”, I really wanted to pee.
Mu Mansion.
On the night that Yun Xi and the others left, the Mu Sheng brothers and Mu Jinyan were dining together in the upper room with the old general and the old lady. Mu Sheng had a poor appetite, and the old lady curled her lips and said, "Men are so pretentious."
Mu Sheng: “…”
"No, why am I being hypocritical?"
"You men are always out on business. It's common for you not to come home for ten days or half a month. It's also normal for you not to come home for several months. No matter what, women have to endure it and can't complain. Otherwise, you are not virtuous. Xixi is just taking Lezi out to play for a few days. You just need to stay there steadily. Why are you sighing and groaning? Isn't this called being hypocritical?"
The whole family laughed at him.
The old lady announced, "I will go out tomorrow too. I will go play with Xixi and Lezi. It has been how many years since I went out to play. I am tired of staying in the general's mansion every day."
The old man has found a second spring in his career and is shining every day in the military academy. Why should she stay at home? When she was young, she was also a wanton and flamboyant person.
I used to stay at home because I felt a little old. In the past two years, I feel a lot more relaxed because of good things happening to me. It seems that I have returned to my youth and can go out for a run.
Old General: "..."
Mu Jinyan said, "Grandma, can you leave a few days later? The academy will have a 15-day holiday. I will go with you then. I also want to stay at the farm."
At that time, the academy had two long holidays a year, the field holiday in early summer and the clothing holiday in early autumn, each lasting fifteen days. Sometimes the teachers in the academy would take the students out for field trips to let them understand the people's livelihood.
The old lady smiled and said, "That's great. You should relax a little. You should study in moderation. Don't study all day long. I'll wait for you. We'll go together. Your mother and brother will be happy to see you."
Mu Jinyan smiled and said, "Well, I miss them too. They will be happier to see you."
Mu Xuan said: "Look at the field holiday. The crops have been harvested and the students are on field holiday. This is not to let you go home to work, but to let you go home to cool off."
Mu Jinyan said: "Second Uncle, you are jealous, you don't have Tian Jia now."
Mu Xuan: “…”
