In short, the two of them each occupy a place and work on their own. There are only slight sounds of flipping and breathing in the room, which is quiet for a moment.

...

Wen Tingzhou returned to Daxi Village, Jinzhou. His house had been renovated, and it was no longer the house that leaked air and rain like before.

My brother-in-law has been working for the village in Xishan in recent years and has become the manager of Zhuangzi.

In addition, he has added some of his sister from time to time. Although the couple has not lived a wealthy life in the past two years, they are also rich and healthy.

I also had spare money at home and built a blue brick house, so I no longer lived as much as I used to be.

Seeing that his sister was living well, Wen Tingzhou was naturally happy.

After returning to the village, all kinds of elders wanted to visit, and then prepare for the New Year and worship their ancestors...

He was busy, but occasionally he was free to remember that there was someone waiting for him to go back in Beijing, and he suddenly felt full of energy.

Wen Tingzhou's father belongs to the Wen family in Jinzhou, but he and his sister have already had no contact with the Wen family in Jinzhou.

When his father was seriously ill, his mother took Wen Tingzhou to lend him money to treat his father, she was ridiculed and driven out by the Wen family.

The group of people had long forgotten the contributions his grandfather and father made to the Wen family, enjoyed the benefits of their contributions, and kicked them out once they were useless.

Thinking of the Wen family in Jinzhou, Wen Tingzhou's expression darkened, but soon returned to his gentle appearance.

Today he is going to visit some elders in the village and twist some not-so-priced gifts. Regardless of whether he is happy or not, he still has to do his best to avoid losing his word.

Wen Tingzhou wore ordinary cotton-padded jackets when he was in Daxi Village. Everyone thought that although he was studying in the capital, he was not rich.

After sending the gifts one by one, after honestly listening to the teachings of the elders, Wen Tingzhou smiled and said goodbye and left.

The elderly people in the village who were a little brained all lamented that this child is terrifying in his future and will definitely have great luck in the future.

They all had the idea of ​​introducing their granddaughter to Wen Tingzhou.

The village chief listened, feeling that they were whimsical. Wen Tingzhou was in the capital, and he had never seen any beauty before, so how could he look down on a country girl?

Besides, his teacher is a great scholar Fu Qingbai, and any introduction is better than the girls in the village.

It’s really not that the village chief wants to belittle the girl in his village, but he is also a person who has seen the world. Wen Tingzhou will definitely become an official in the future. If his wife is an unknown person, she will drag him down.

So the village chief doesn't think the unmarried girls in the village can have any chance.

But he didn't break the dreams of those elders.

Wen Tingzhou stayed in Jinzhou until the eighth day of the lunar month and could not stay.

As soon as he rested, he missed Muyun crazily. When it started, Muyun was like a small tree, rooted in his heart and could not be pulled out.

But he didn't want to pull it out either. He wanted to see her every day, wanted to warm her cold hands, and wanted her to sew clothes, shoes and socks for him with needlework...

Wen Tingzhou made sure that he must visit Mu Yun's mother after he went back, and it would be best to let her agree to Mu Yun's engagement with him, so that he and Mu Yun would be justified in meeting him.

He also told his sister about Mu Yun. Sister Wen was very happy when she heard that her brother had a girl she liked.

But when I heard that Mu Yun’s family was well, he frowned and said, “The betrothal gift I saved for you may not be enough.”

Sister Wen, thinking about the place in the capital, she saved less than 100 taels for Wen Tingzhou, probably not enough to be a betrothal gift.

"Sister, don't worry, I will prepare the betrothal gifts or something."

Wen Tingzhou told his sister not to worry about betrothal gifts, he had already started preparing.

"It's just that I'm going back this time and want to visit their house. If it's done, I might ask my sister to come to the capital to help me buy the engagement."

Wen Tingzhou hadn't visited him yet, and he thought of the engagement ceremony. If Mu Yun knew about it, he would definitely roll his eyes a few times. He would be too confident!

"Okay, if it's done, you say to your sister and you'll go there."

Sister Wen responded excitedly.

My younger brother has been very independent since he was a child and never let her interfere in his affairs. Now he asked her to help with the business for the first time. Sister Wen has confirmed that if things are done, he will definitely hold the engagement banquet for him.

...

In the past two days, it was snowing heavily again, and it was so cold that Mu Yun was too lazy to leave the house and stayed in the room without going out.

When I received a gift from Wen Tingzhou in the second day of the lunar month, Mu Yun thought about getting some gifts for him. After a long time of struggle, Mu Yun began to want to make him a cloak, but it took time. When the cloak was finished, it was almost spring and the flowers were blooming and I couldn't use it.

Later, Mu Yun thought that it would be better to make clothes, but in ancient times, women who had no engagement could not give men their own clothes.

Seeing that she had been struggling for a long time, Qingkong said, "Why are you so confused? Although you can't make clothes and cloaks, you might as well make him a purse or embroider the squid."

"Although it is not as expensive as the jewelry he gave, it is yours at least. If you really want to make clothes, then do it first, and you will always use it in the future."

Qingkong thought, at worst, it would be possible to make it all, and it would always be useful.

I couldn't stand her so much trouble and tangled, which made people feel tired of seeing her, so I mentioned it.

"Okay!" Mu Yun responded weakly.

However, it is correct to say that the sun is clear. However, needlework is avoided in the first month of the year, and Muyun cannot use needlework now.

After thinking about it, I should do these things slowly and give them to him next year.

So Muyun went to his warehouse to find spices and tools, and closed the door to make incense.

Wen Tingzhou would definitely not collect the perfume. Every time Mu Yun met him, he had a simple soap fragrance, not even the fragrance of the smoked clothes.

Life is actually quite rough, I know that Mu Yun feels so.

I don’t know if he likes to use perfume or incense, so Muyun didn’t plan to do it.

The silk incense is quite versatile and can be used in the study and bedroom, so Muyun made the silk incense for him.

I started doing it on the fifth day of the Muyun day. There was no sunshine these days and it was not easy to dry, so I put the prepared silk incense in the house and hung it.

The room was dry and warm. If Muyun didn't plan to get out of the sun, just let's dry it like this.

I was afraid that Wen Tingzhou would not like it, so she didn't do much, only about a few dozen.

Knowing that the weather was not clear at the eighth day of the lunar month, Shinxiang had already been taken to the stove in the bathroom and dried.

Muyun's bathroom was not damp, and there was a square or round coal-burning stove that was used in modern Guizhou countryside.

The silk xiangmuyun packed it and was packed, and she was ready to wait for Wen Tingzhou to come back to give it to him.

But I didn't expect Wen Tingzhou to come back so early.

...

On the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, Mu Yun saw Xiao Guan. When he saw Mu Yun, he immediately said respectfully: "Young Master is back yesterday. Let me come here to tell Miss Qiao Er this morning."

"This is your letter to your lady. I asked you to reply, please."

As he said that, Xiao Guan took out a letter and handed it to Mu Yun.

Mu Yun took the letter and said, "???"

"Is it so urgent? Then you can drink some hot tea here first to warm up. I'll go back to the house and write back to him."

"Okay!" Xiao Guan replied.

Mu Yun took the letter back to the house. When he opened it, he was amused and laughed. He thought he had something urgent to do, but he turned out to be trying to visit his home.

Mu Yun thought of his mother telling him what he asked him to come last time, so he picked up a pen and replied to him. He remembered that yesterday his mother said that he would not go out on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, so he asked him to come over.

After writing the letter, Mu Yun gave it to Xiao Guan.

As soon as he received the letter, Xiao Guan hurriedly said goodbye, and Mu Yun did not leave much and asked someone to send him out.
