MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 1107 Buying People

Mo Yan said she was not sure that Liu Tinglan was carrying twins, but in fact they were almost inseparable, and Liu Tinglan believed it. After she finished chewing the apple, she happily asked Mo Yan to take her pulse again to see if the two children were a boy or a girl. She thought it would be best to have a boy and a girl, so that they would make a good name. If she could have children in the future, she would have two more, and there would be no regrets if she couldn't.

"Do you think I have clairvoyance, can I tell whether the child is a boy or a girl?" Mo Yan said in a dumbfounded voice: "Even if it is true, how can you tell if the child has just grown into a human form! You'd better give birth and raise the baby. It’s decent to give birth to a child safely.”

Liu Tinglan held her belly with a happy face and said cheerfully: "I know, I know, I will definitely listen to you in the future and walk around more. I will make sure that the two children will be fat and healthy."

Mo Yan waved her hand and reminded: "It's necessary for Bai Bai and health matters, but not for Pang Pang. You've carried two of them. After seven months, the load on your body will be greater than that of ordinary pregnant women. If If the baby is too big, it will be difficult to give birth.”

There is no caesarean section here. Women are wandering around the gates of **** when giving birth. If they are not careful, dystocia will occur. Even if a doctor is present, it is difficult to ensure that the mother and child are safe. Some pregnant women don't know the dangers inside. They think that the more they eat, the healthier their children will be, so they try their best to stuff them into their stomachs for fear that the children in their stomachs will not grow well.

As everyone knows, doing this will not only make you fatter and fatter, but will also make the baby grow staggeringly large. When giving birth in this way, it is very easy to have dystocia.

Mo Yan had encountered such a mother when she went to see a doctor with Dr. Du. She saw with her own eyes that Dr. Du used the Du's Nine Needles to **** the mother and child back from the hands of the King of Hell. Even so, the child is very weak due to being suffocated in the mother's body for too long, and the mother is also injured, making it difficult to get pregnant again in the future.

Liu Tinglan suddenly became nervous when she heard this: "Then I listen to you, try to eat as little as possible from now on, walk around outside for an hour every day, eat more fresh vegetables and less meat..."

Seeing that she was frightened, Mo Yan quickly comforted her: "The child needs nutrition and cannot eat less. However, you can eat smaller meals more often and divide the three meals into five or six meals. After eating, Take a short walk outside and you and your child will be healthy."

“Hmm, I’ll tell my mother-in-law about this later, and I’ll cook my meals alone from now on.” Liu Tinglan nodded her head as she was afraid that if she missed something, her child would be in danger.

Mo Yan thought for a while and said, "Don't tell anyone, including your mother-in-law, that you have two children in your belly for the time being."

When Liu Tinglan heard this, she wondered: "Why can't you tell my mother-in-law immediately? Wouldn't it be nice to make her happy too?"

Mo Yan rolled her eyes at her friend, poked her forehead and said, "Then you didn't say that the woman was back, and you kept thinking of ways to get along with her? If you don't take her seriously, I'm worried that she'll do something wrong. To harm you, this woman must be sent away."

When she first arrived at Shen's house, she asked Lu's mother in a subtle way. She was afraid that Liu Tinglan would be wronged here, and she was too depressed to tell anyone. As a result, I heard the news that Lu Zhu had returned to the Shen family through scheming.

This woman is probably still thinking about Shen Ji. She is a flexible and flexible person who is also cruel to herself. It can be seen that apart from some cleverness, her cruelty should not be underestimated. Who would have known that Sister Lan was pregnant with twins? I wonder if I would do something crazy out of jealousy.

The best way is to drive the person away so that she cannot act like a monster in the Shen family, and also to resolve the matter before the twins are exposed.

When Mo Yan said this, Liu Tinglan thought of Lu Zhu, whom she least wanted to see, and her face suddenly fell: "You think I am treating her, if you don't want to have a head-on conflict with the parents-in-law, and make Brother Jin embarrassed and unable to calm down. If she had made up her mind to study, I would have kicked her away a long time ago."

Mo Yan was aware of her friend's difficulties, and couldn't help but feel lucky again that the Xiao family was simple and would not have such troubles.

"After all, this is your Shen family's matter. I can't interfere anymore. You have to solve it yourself. You are pregnant now, and your mother-in-law is worried about the child in your belly. She will not let you be wronged. In comparison, Lu The weight of the beads is not enough, it depends on what you want to do, so that you can drive Lu Zhu back to the ancestral home without offending your parents-in-law."

Liu Tinglan nodded and listened to these words. Although she really didn't want to compete with Lu Zhu in a battle of wits and courage, if she could eliminate potential dangers that threatened the children, what if she just became a bad guy for once?

　　Liu Tinglan didn’t want to argue with Lu Zhu before, she just treated her like a fly, and it would still be considered dirty if she was swatted to death. Now that the fly might threaten her child, she would not let it go.

A few days later, Liu Tinglan saw that the weather was very nice and heard that the chrysanthemums in the yard were in bloom, so she went for a walk in the yard accompanied by Lu's mother, and met Lu Zhu who was also admiring the chrysanthemums.

Liu Tinglan became thirsty during the trip, so Mother Lu went to get her some tea. When Lu's mother came back, she saw Lu Zhu pushing Liu Tinglan to the ground.

Afterwards, Liu Tinglan, who had fetal motility, was diagnosed with twins by the doctor. Lu Zhu was sent to the ancestral home by the disappointed and angry Shen family elders, who made it clear that she was not allowed to step into the Shen family again!

"By the way, there's something else I need to tell you." Suddenly remembering that there was something left to say, Mo Yan stood up and walked to the window under Liu Tinglan's curious eyes, waving to the big tree outside.

Liu Tinglan only heard a high-pitched bird song, and saw an eagle appear in her field of vision. Its long talons firmly grasped the slender arm of her friend, and a pair of eagle eyes revealing scrutiny shot towards her.

“Yan Yan, this, you raised this?” It was not the first time Liu Tinglan saw an eagle, but it was the first time she saw the combination of Mo Yan and the eagle. She was extremely surprised for a moment.

"That's right." Mo Yan took the eagle and sat down in front of Liu Tinglan again. He touched the eagle's smooth feathers and said, "It is quite humane and flies very fast. I plan to leave it to you in the future. If you have anything, just write a letter and let it be passed on. If you encounter something urgent, I can know it in time."

Liu Tinglan never imagined that her best friend would do this for her. She was so moved that she wished she could marry him. She beat the bed and wailed: "Why are you just a woman? If you were a man, why would you have anything to do with Brother Jin?" ah!"

Mo Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and struck mercilessly: "Fortunately, I am a woman, otherwise I would have had a headache if I got stuck with you."

“Humph, you are lucky to have my heart.” Liu Tinglan glared at her friend resentfully and fought back. If she hadn't been worried about the child in her belly, she would have pounced on her so-called "husband" with all her teeth and claws.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　―

Seeing the two women ignoring their quarrels, the eagle screamed and flapped its huge wings to vent its dissatisfaction.

“I didn’t expect the little guy to have such a bad temper!”

Since it was brought by Mo Yan, Liu Tinglan was not afraid of this eagle that looked very troublesome at all. While teasing, she stretched out her hand to tentatively touch its feathers. As a result, the eagle decisively dodged it.

Mo Yan's eyes twitched as he looked at the "little guy" with wings spread out three meters long. He clearly felt that a certain eagle was not interested in this title, and his arm was about to be scratched off by this guy.

Liu Tinglan was very interested in the eagle and made up her mind to raise it well. When she learned that its favorite food was snakes and mice, she immediately became silent. Every time she suddenly saw snakes and mice, although she would not scream in fear, she was insensitive to these two animals. When she saw an eagle eating snakes and mice with her own eyes, she could not even get close to the eagle.

In response to this, Yingying glared at Liu Tinglan with contempt, and then at Mo Yan: Look at all the people you know. Rats and snakes are obviously so delicious. You really don't know the difference!

Mo Yan, who had been despised by various animals for a long time, did not take the eagle's complaints to heart at all. He just told his friend gently with the eagle's excited screams that this guy can't eat chicken, otherwise he will have diarrhea.

Liu Tinglan believed it and immediately promised not to give it any chicken.

The eagle was so angry that it screamed loudly at Mo Yan. God knows, the snakes and mice it loves to eat the most are slices of tender chicken, hateful humans, and hateful faces. Just treat it like this. We were deprived of our benefits, blah blah blah!

 …

Mo Yan came here rarely, and Liu Tinglan refused to let her go. She held Mo Yan's arm like a naughty child and insisted on letting her stay for a few more days.

But Mo Qingze's wedding date has been set. It's September 16th. Now it's September 5th. There are only ten days left. Even if Mo Yan wants to stay with her friends, she has no way to do it. She can stay for one day at most. Gotta go back.

Liu Tinglan no longer wanted to stay, so she asked a lot about Cui Qingrou. Seeing that Mo Yan didn't show any dissatisfaction with the stepmother in her words, I knew that she was very satisfied with the stepmother and planned to get along well with her, so I felt relieved.

 Mo Yan came all the way and has another identity. He is considered a distinguished guest of the Shen family. The two elders of the Shen family did not dare to slack off. As soon as they heard that she was going to stay overnight, they immediately asked their servants to clean up the best guest rooms, for fear of neglecting her.

 After staying at Shen's house for more than a day, Mo Yan stayed with Liu Tinglan until the next afternoon, when the shadow of the trees slanted eastward, and Liu Tinglan looked at her reluctantly, she boarded the carriage home.

 Back home, Mo Yan got busy again. This time, she was busy with the wedding banquet.

"Sister, is this banquet a bit too much? I figured forty tables would be enough." Xin'er looked at the fifty banquet tables marked on the list and thought her sister had made a mistake.

Mo Yan was busy writing something on the paper. He said without raising his head when he heard the words: "I'm not sure how many people will come that day. Fifty tables is not a lot. I'm not worried enough!"

The Mo family has hosted several large banquets, so it can be said that they have rich experience, but this time is very different from the past. In the past, the banquet guests were all from good friends, and most of the people were from the village. This time, in addition to these people, there were also ministers from the court.

Mo Qingze has been an official in the court for more than a year. Not only does he have deep trust in Chu Heng, but he is also the son-in-law of the Cui family. Although there are only a few good officials at this banquet, there is no guarantee that someone will please Chu Heng and the Cui family. , come uninvited, so you have to reserve a few banquet tables. If someone comes to congratulate someone but there is no place to sit, it would be rude to the Mo family.

After hearing this explanation, Xin'er suddenly realized: "That has to be reserved, but Hairball and the others will have to work hard. With so many seats, a lot of fresh wild animals are needed!"

Since the addition of six animals to the family, the Mo family has rarely bought meat or vegetables at the market. Every time there is a large banquet, these guys go to the mountains to hunt. In their words, those prey are their gifts. Since it is a gift, they can only be sincere in hunting by themselves, and cannot use the rations in the space to make up for it.

If he hadn't understood the temperament of the six beasts, Mo Yan would have seriously thought that they thought so. In fact, they were just unwilling to make their rations cheaper for those who had nothing to do with them. Compared with the prey in the mountains, the rations raised in the space tasted obviously better. Some, they are not willing to share with others.

Mo Yan could not complain to her sister about the six beasts' "narrowness", but said: "According to their hunting skills, they can catch them all in one trip. Don't lock the back door these days."

Xin'er nodded and said with emotion: "If one day our family is in trouble and the Six Beasts are here, we can live a good life! Sister, you don't know, many people in the village envy our family and wish they could also have a Swiss at home. There is no need for them to do anything else, they just need to give them some prey from time to time as a tooth sacrifice."

Hearing this, Mo Yan frowned, looked up at his sister and said seriously: "The six beasts appeared when our family was prosperous. If one day our family is in decline, are you sure they will still stay?"

 Although there is space, the six beasts will not leave easily, but she does not allow her family members to have such ideas of getting something for nothing.

Xiner was stunned. She had never thought about this problem.

Mo Yan didn't want to say anything and handed a few pages of paper to Xiner: "These are the things that need to be purchased. You take them to Zhao Mu and ask them to buy them back as soon as possible. They will need them tomorrow."

Xiner came back to her senses, took the page, glanced at it roughly, and nodded: "I'll go right away."

Just when she was about to walk out the door, Xin'er suddenly remembered the purpose of coming here, so she turned to ask her sister: "Do we want to buy some servants back to our family? Cui... Aunt Cui is used to being waited on at home. Although she married into our family, There are dowry girls, but you can't bring all the people you are used to. In the future, when you and your brother-in-law get married, you will inevitably have maids by your side when you go out. It's better to buy a few smart ones now and train them properly."

Mo Yan had never thought about buying someone, but after being reminded by her sister, she really felt the need to buy it. She thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to buy it now. After my father's wedding is completed, I'll go to the dental shop to see it myself."

Xiner opened her mouth, as if she still had something to say, but hesitated for a moment, but didn't say it out.

Mo Yan lowered her head and thought about other things, and did not notice anything strange about her sister.

On the night of September 14th in Hui'an, Mo Qingze took Zhen'er and Yun Zhao home. Mo Qingze originally only had three days of marriage leave, but Chu Heng directly promised him ten days. However, the other seven days of leave had to be paid with salary.

Few people can enjoy the ten-day wedding benefits, which just shows that Mo Qingze has won the heart of His Royal Highness, and many ministers in the court who are watching have decided to go to Mo's house for a wedding drink on this day.

Zhen'er and Yun Zhao also took advantage of their father. After explaining the situation to the Master, the Master happily gave them five days off. Of course, the premise is that the homework cannot be left behind, otherwise it will not be as simple as just hitting the board in the palm of the hand.

After dinner, Mo Yan said to Mo Qingze: "Dad, go and see the decoration of the new house first. If there is any need to be adjusted, just tell me. The Cui family will send the dowry tomorrow, and it will be too late to make any changes."

The two families are relatively close, so according to the wedding rules, the woman must send the dowry to the man's house the day before the wedding, especially the big items, such as wardrobes, beds, etc., and she must go to the man's wedding room to measure the size. To avoid the situation where the bed cabinet is too big or too small.

Mo Qingze looked at his daughter who had lost weight and felt guilty: "Don't worry about your work, dad. It's all thanks to you these days."

"Dad, what are you talking about? I just kept talking and didn't do anything. Grandpa Li and Zhao Mu were busy in and out. When your wedding is over, you have to thank them properly!" Mo Yan said She doesn't think it's hard to worry about her family, although things are indeed very complicated during this period and she needs to make overall arrangements bit by bit.

Xiner on the side pouted, pretending to be dissatisfied: "Dad, I have also contributed, why don't you see you feeling sorry for me?"

Mo Qingze laughed, patted Xin'er's head and praised, "Of course dad feels sorry for you. After the happy event is over, how about taking you three sisters to play?"

When Xin'er heard this, she was very happy, and just as she was about to nod in agreement, Zhen'er pushed her aside and said dissatisfied: "Dad, what about me and Brother Zhao? You can't be so partial and leave us both behind. "

Mo Qingze looked at his son with a loving smile: "You want to skip school?"

Zhen'er shuddered, immediately covered his buttocks, and shook his head violently: "Don't run away, Dad, I won't run away!"

 “Be good!” Mo Qingze smiled even more happily and gently stroked Zhen'er's head. His expression was no different from Mo Yan's smoothing of hair balls.

The matter of going out for fun was decided, and then the family walked around in the new house. Mo Qingze was satisfied with everything, and the layout of the room was decided. He just waited for the original big bed to be moved out tomorrow. Cui It is enough to move the dowry bed and wardrobe into the home.

 The next day, everyone in the Mo family got up early to prepare for the dowry.

This time, the eldest son of the Cui family personally escorted the dowry for his biological sister. This not only showed how much he valued his only sister, but also expressed how much he valued the marriage. As an elder brother, he can't do much for his sister, so he can only give her confidence from these aspects.

Amidst the noisy sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, Master Cui dismounted and was welcomed in by Mo Qingze. Behind them, a stream of dowries were carried into the yard. The dowry extends from a large open space in front of the door to several miles away. When viewed from a high distance, it looks like a bright red ribbon. It is best described as "Ten Miles of Red Makeup". It can be seen directly. The villagers who came to watch were stunned.
