Chapter 288： Be careful

   Mu Yangling is a carnivore, and Xiuhong loves meat more, so when she came, she brought a lot of meat from home, all of which were marinated or frozen, so she was not afraid of spoilage.

Because they ate fresh food along the way, all the meat was left behind. Mu Yangling asked Zhang Liu to take it all out and give it to the village chief.

The village chief's family didn't expect that they would bring so much meat on their way. They didn't react for a while and just stared at the frozen meat on the table.

A few children from the village chief's family couldn't help but gulped. Although the village chief gulped, he pushed the things back and said, "You keep this for yourself and eat it on the road."

Zhang Wu glanced at Mu Yangling and said with a smile: "Take it, if the weather is not good, we won't dare to stop and get these food on the way, I'm afraid we have to eat dry food, and it will be heavy to carry. Staying at your house has already been disturbed, you must accept this."

The village chief's daughter-in-law didn't resist the temptation of the meat fragrance, and whispered: "Father, I'm afraid it's going to snow today, and a few guests may stay for several days."

That way they don't seem to have any regrets about eating their meat.

The village chief's daughter-in-law stared at the meat closely. She had not eaten meat for three or four months, and thought she would not be able to eat it until the New Year's Eve.

The meat on the table must be around ten pounds, right?

Even if the big head is eaten for the guests, no one here will be able to get two or three yuan...

Mu Yangling didn't know what she was thinking, anyway, the village chief accepted those things in the end.

And she was quickly rewarded. The village chief originally made a room for them, because she said they were brothers and sisters, so it would be fine for five people to live in one room.

It's not that the village chief is stingy, but their family has only five rooms, and he himself has three sons and an unmarried daughter. One of the sons is married, and now their house is enough for them to live in.

The room set aside for Mu Yangling and the others belonged to his youngest son. He let his youngest son live with his second son, but now Mu Yangling took out so much meat and even brought some for his two grandsons. Candy, he felt that he should reciprocate, so he also moved his daughter to his and his wife's room, and let Mu Yangling and Xiuhong live in his daughter's room.

Let Zhang Wuzhangliu and Bowen live in his youngest son's house.

To have her own space, Mu Yangling could not ask for it. After the sheep was sold, she hadn't counted the money, so she left in a hurry.

So after having an independent space, Mu Yangling asked Xiuhong to guard the door, and she took out all the money and counted it.

In Sanquan County, the sheep sold for 266 taels, Hu Cai sold for 450 taels, and the last batch sold for 689 taels, a total of 1,355 taels. Yang Ling recorded the account on the ledger and counted it carefully. Except for the bits and pieces of silver and copper plates she brought herself, there were a total of 1,300 taels in the shackle, and the 55 taels were spent on buying books and bribing Qin butchers. on the body.

Mu Yangling stretched the robe, carefully put the silver in it, and took two old clothes to block the two openings.

Xingzhou Mansion is different from Xingyuan Mansion. It does not use banknotes, so she didn't exchange it for easy-to-carry banknotes in the city. Instead, she used a jacket to carry the money.

1,300 taels of silver sounds like a lot, but in fact it only weighs about 82 pounds, and the size is not very large. One drapery can just be filled, and a piece of clothing can be stuck in the opening.

Mu Yangling always carried this shawl with her and never left her body. At this time, she spread out the quilt on the kang, put the shawl in and hid it, and called Xiuhong to come in and instructed: "Don't let anyone touch it. this."

"What should I do while eating?" Xiuhong asked worriedly.

She was a little flustered when she carried so much money with her for the first time.

However, Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Let's go to the table a little later and leave the table a little earlier, and leave the rest to Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu, Xiuhong, you have to remember, they are our brothers now, and we Brothers and sisters don't have to worry about anything."

So it is normal to go back to the house to rest after a full meal.

When eating, the village chief's family must be present, but the people from his family still have to pass through the hall where they eat if they want to enter the house. She admits that she still has the ability to observe.

No one can go through the hall to this room under her nose and not be discovered by her. The most important thing is, who would have known that they carried so much money with them to steal it?

Xiuhong finally felt relieved after listening to her cousin's arrangement, but she was still nervously watching the outside while eating. Mu Yangling was amused, but she didn't forgive her any more. Being cautious is a good thing.

After everyone finished dinner, Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu stayed behind to chat with the village chief and his three sons, while Mu Yangling took Xiuhong and Bowen back to the house.

The village chief's daughter followed and went to play. Seeing that there was a shackle on the kang, she glanced at it curiously. Xiuhong became nervous, and Mu Yangling followed her gaze, smiled slightly, and explained: "There is a What relatives called to bring."

The village chief's daughter said "oh", and Mu Yangling calmly changed the subject, pointed to the veil in her hand and asked, "Your veil is so beautiful, did you buy it or embroider it yourself?"

The village chief's daughter proudly said: "I embroidered it myself. My sister-in-law has an embroidery skill. She taught me. My mother said that my embroidery is no worse than that of my sister-in-law. Do you want to see it?"

Mu Yangling nodded with a smile, "I'm not very good at sewing, but my sister is better than me, and my mother can embroider, and we usually learn from her, but this year, the field is busy and it has been abandoned for a while."

The village chief's daughter said sternly: "This embroidery is no better than others, but you can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days. It's a craftsmanship that can only be learned with perseverance..."

Mu Yangling gave Xiuhong a wink, and Xiuhong picked it up immediately. She also learned from Shu Wanniang for two years. Although she was not as good as her younger sister Xiulan, she was much better than her cousin, and she soon told the village head girl. come together.

The village chief's daughter suddenly felt a feeling of seeing each other late. She held Xiuhong's hand with her excited hands, and her eyes even flashed with tears of excitement.

Mu Yangling leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes when he saw it. Bowen also listened curiously for a while, and then lost interest. He stretched and looked outside, only to find snowflakes floating in the sky.

Bowen opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then shouted: "Sister, it's snowing!"

Mu Yangling opened his eyes "hoo" and looked out the window, only to find snow-white flakes the size of chicken feathers floating in the sky.

The village chief's daughter and Xiuhong jumped up excitedly, put on their shoes and ran out, Mu Yangling shouted: "Put on your clothes, don't catch a cold!"
