Chapter 21 The Mourning Hall

Seeing this, the wet nurse was so angry that she hurried over to hug him. She was furious and broke free. However, she punched and kicked the person close to her. Seeing that the tablet was written on Cui's Huan Niang, she felt bad, so she went up and pulled the white banner in front of the hall. An old lady came forward to stop her.

"My little grandpa, that's not like this..."

But Changqing pushed down the stairs and fell heavily. The hall was filled with exclamations, which shocked Yan Yunqing, who was sitting in a blank space behind her, came over and hugged her son, and then she burst into tears.

"Changqing...Changqing...Changqing...your mother...mother...she went..."

Changqing asked him in a daze,

"Mother... went, went there?"

Yan Yunqing cried,

"Your mother... is dead... is dead!"

Yan Changqing suddenly realized that he was young but knew that he would let go when he died. He was like his gentle and majestic aunt, and he would never see him again from now on. He was like a little gray raised by his own family. His legs were stiff, his teeth were biting his tongue tightly, and he fell into the grass. He could no longer shake his head and tail and ran around with him...

The father and son hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Everyone on the side advised each other, but Manager Yan was relieved in secret.

Finally I can cry!

He is an old man in this mansion. The couple and his wife are deeply in Lin'an City. Now that the wife has passed away, the prince does not speak, cry or make a fuss. I am afraid that he will be depressed and unable to vent. If it is too long, it will hurt his body.

My master is only nine years old and his mother is dead. If his biological father has something to do, who can hold on to this huge family business?

Do you still have to rely on that humble concubine?

It’s better to cry now... it’s better to cry!

The master's family had a mourning job and could not do any work anymore. The manager came out to talk, but he gave these people a long holiday in March and gave the life to the account.

"This account is settled according to the entire work. If you want to wait, you will wait. If you don't want to wait, you will go and find a job!"

Everyone knew that it was rare to find such a generous master in this world, let alone how could he abandon his mistress after his death?

Now, it's all right.

"You guys, go and kowtow to the mistress, and come back when the days come!"

Everyone went in here to mourn for a while, and then they came out and parted.

This happened to Mu Da's intentions. After getting free, he moved all the things in his home to the house he rented in the city one after another.

After the things were finally moved, the village yard was handed over to a newly moved family. In the envious eyes of everyone, the seven family left the refugee village and entered Taiyuan Prefecture.

When he arrived at this house, he divided the three rooms in the backyard to the eldest sisters because his home was spacious. Mu Hongluan and Erya had a room, while Sanya and Siya had the same room. The Mu couple lived in the east wing of the yard outside. However, the west wing contained miscellaneous items until Baosheng was older and then gave them to him.

A few young people were used to staying in the refugee village, and suddenly entered the city and lived in such a good house, but they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. Baosheng and his sisters were also used to sleeping in the same place. They were separated and ran to the backyard. Yang Sanniang held him and slapped him.

"It's different now than before, so don't run into my sisters' rooms regardless of it!"

Seeing that the eldest brother became eight years old and grew older, he looked more and more like his mother-in-law. Yang San Madam became more and more concerned about her and said to Mu Dayan in private.

"Now that we have entered the city, it's different from before, but we have to find someone to tie our feet to the children at home?"

Mu Da frowned repeatedly after hearing this.

"This tie of feet hurts the most of a woman's legs. If you tie your feet, you can't walk!"

How can a good little girl suffer that?

Mrs. Yang replied,

"I also want to look good with my feet. My sisters at home are easy to talk about. The eldest is eight years old this year!"

During this year of war, the sisters of wealthy families were married late, for fear that the man would have a bad habit, which would make their daughters widowed. However, the poor families would do the opposite. They would marry their daughters early, so that they could save a ration and give birth to a bride. They would get married early and have children early, so that they would be more likely to have a few more!

Mu Dalian shook his head and waved his hands,

"Don't mention this. Nowadays, it is the most important thing to survive. Don't do anything you suffer!"

Her Hongniu was born like her grandmother, and she looked very handsome. Even if she was a little impatient, she was also a very good lady. How could she be worried about marrying in the future!

What feet are tied up? I will suffer in vain!

However, he suppressed this matter and never mentioned it. Mu Hongluan and his sisters escaped the disaster without knowing that their families had escaped, but they were laughing and joking every day, so happy.

Apart from practicing, Mu Hongluan taught a few girls to embroider and sew with nothing to do every day. Erya was gentle and able to sit still. After practicing for three months, the embroidery was already quite good. Mu Hongluan looked at her and said,

"The second sister's craft will be better than her skills after a while!"

Although the younger sisters didn't understand the words "Youth" from Lan, Erya knew that it was the elder sister who praised her, and immediately responded with a blushing face.

"Thank you sister for teaching me!"

Mu Hongluan said,

"You don't have to thank me. If you practice it in the future, you can get some embroidered things and sell them outside. The family will also be in the money, so we will benefit from it!"

It is a trivial matter to have money at home. If you marry someone, you will be valued by others even if you have a skill in your in-laws’ family!

Although Mu Hongluan has never married, she has no shortage of knowledge. In the past, there were not only one or two girls sold by her husband's family in the yard. If a girl could not speak at her husband's family, it was common for her to be bullied. She had a skill and was tougher!

Now, two smaller ones are taught a lesson.

"You must also learn well and you will benefit you after you have learned it!"

I personally want to teach them to read, but in this situation, there are few women who read literacy, which is too outrageous and easy to attract attention. Take your time in the future!

However, Sanya and Siya didn't like this, and did not dare to disobey the eldest sister. They had to nod their heads with bitter faces. The finger poked countless Ku Longyan'er and didn't dare to cry!

Erya was even more practicing after hearing this. If Mu Hongluan hadn't stopped her, Yang San's wife would have been worried that she would have scolded her for too much energy, so she would have to do it even at night.

The family happily moved into the new home. The lady Yang San also put Mu Hongluan's words in her heart. She stayed here and stepped on the hot land. Sure enough, she urged Mu Da to inquire about her husband.

Mu Dana also regarded it as a big deal. He traveled all over Taiyuan Prefecture with his pair of flesh feet to search for the teacher who was very good at teaching. However, he asked him a question, which was a gentleman named Wen who lived three streets across. He passed the imperial examination in his early years and later came back to run a private school. Mu Da went to ask, Mr. Wen was a strict person and taught many good students, but Shu Xiu wanted it very high.

"You have to have one or two silver dollars every month, and don't care about three meals a day, and you still have to bring them with you!"

"It's so expensive?"

Lady Yang San was very surprised.

One tael of silver a month, the money saved by the family is probably not enough for Baosheng to study for two years, so there is still a big family to eat!

"His father, look...this matter..."

But I was unable to make up my mind. I wanted to grit my teeth and send my son in, but I really couldn't afford it. It wouldn't take a year or two to really send it in. How can I succeed if I don't get a good fortune for ten or eight years?

Mu Da didn't know what to do, so he thought about it and got up and lifted the curtain and shouted.

"Boss, come in!"

Mu Hongluan and her three sisters were playing with Baosheng in the yard. After hearing this, they went to their parents' house. General Mu said what he said outside, but she smiled,

"My parents don't have to worry about this. We wanted Baosheng to study in advance, but this study is not as good as other people. We always have to go step by step. Baosheng is still young and used to being wild, but I'm afraid he can't sit still. Mr. Wen is harsh. If he goes there, he is afraid he can't bear it. He has never known the word. Isn't it going to waste money to be able to read it all at once..."

He paused again and said,

"It's better to find a gentleman nearby to enlighten him, and you don't have to learn much. As long as you have a good temperament, you can do it!"

Mu Da thought for a while and nodded,

"What the boss said is that Bao Sheng is used to being accustomed to being spoiled at home. The gentleman is too careful to make him afraid that he will not want to learn books, which makes our thoughts in vain!"

Mu Hongluan nodded and said,

"This is true. He should learn something easy to understand first and then read well, and then choose a good teacher to send it to him. The family's money should be more relaxed!"

Seeing that the father and daughter were right, Yang San nodded and said,

"That's true, his father...you're going to look for the nearby gentleman tomorrow?"

Mu Da replied,

"I have asked about this far and near, but there is a Mr. Lu who has a good personality and teaches several students at home. Shu Xiu is not expensive and only has 25 pm. But I first heard people say that this teacher teaches students a strange thing. He doesn't teach it when it is windy or rainy. He has to ask people to learn it during festivals. I don't know what the rules of this is..."

The eight generations of ancestors have never studied, but they have never heard of such teaching methods!

Mu Hongluan heard this but said,

"But Daddy, go and inquire again!"

Mu Da agreed to go out again while there was nothing to do now, and came back a while later and said,

"Mr. Lu taught me differently from others. Although it was windy and rainy, he did not allow him to go to school, but he had to write poetry and lyrics. During the holidays, he brought students outside to understand the people's sentiments..."

After hearing this, Mu Hongluan realized that this gentleman was a wonderful person and responded immediately.

"If Shu Xiu is not expensive, let Baosheng try it. If it fails, it will be replaced!"

Mu Da nodded, and the three of them decided on Baosheng's affairs, and then went out to cook, wait until it was dark and went to bed without saying a word all night.

The next day, Mu Da went to Mr. Lu to explain his purpose. Mr. Lu was a visitor who refused, but he agreed readily.

The next day, Mu Dao carried two pounds of meat and a box of eight treasures of fruits, and took Baosheng to worship his master.

One day, Baosheng carved the book bag made by his sisters, and put a book in it with a three-character classic that he bought for ten copper plates and five copper plates and pens, inkstone paper and inkstone.
