Back to ancient local masters

In the quaint old hall, all four of the same old nanmu chairs were occupied by people, and there were still a few servant girls standing around them, silently lowering their heads and staring at the ground, not daring to make a sound.

In the air, there is even a look of swords being tense, as if they will explode in the next moment if they are not careful.

Mo Bai sat on the main seat in the center of the hall, silently watching the hypocrisy of the husband and wife below, and for the first time there was a coldness on his usually gentle and clear face.

This is the Mo family's farm in Yongle Village. It has only been a few days since they moved here. The house in the village is still being repaired, but his second uncle's family has already made a lot of troubles by asking for this or that. After being declined by him, it is even more serious now. He directly proposed to separate the family, and looking at it, it was obvious that he had planned it long ago.

The atmosphere became more and more tense due to the silence.

Just at this time, his second uncle saw that he had not spoken for a long time, and pretended to sigh, "Second uncle is thinking of you, and I understand that it is difficult for you to drag your younger siblings to make a living at such a young age. But you also I know, your second aunt and the others have always been used to being at ease, and now that she is pregnant again, second uncle has to think about your unborn brother anyway? It's not good to make trouble for you every day. "

As he said that, he looked up at the young man who had been silent on the main seat, his expression became softer, and he seemed to be relieved, "Besides, even if the family is separated, the Mo family is the root of the second uncle. If you encounter any difficulties in the future , as long as you send someone over to say hello, Second Uncle will definitely not stand idly by if he can help. It can be regarded as all my uncle's heart."

After all, he stared at the young man on the main seat with good eyes.On the surface, it looks sincere and sincere, but in fact, it doesn't take it seriously at all.

Now that the Mo family has fallen so far, he has long thought of dividing the family, and after following this poor village, he can't stay for a moment.It happened that his nephew didn't know good and bad, and restricted them from buying things in the yard everywhere, but he was willing to spend money to buy elixir for his sick brother.

There is only so little left in the family, and it can afford him to buy it a few times. It is not necessary to use up all that is in their yard.

But it's always hard to say clearly about it, so he discussed with his wife and daughter for a while, and they came up with such an excuse to separate from his wife's natal family.

However, after spending so much time talking, the kid above him just sat there without saying a word, not even changing his expression.Even if he was slow-tempered, he couldn't help getting a little angry.

The atmosphere in the room became tense again due to the silence. A group of servants crouched in the corner, all lowered their heads and held their breath to reduce the sense of presence, for fear that an inadvertently offended master would become the fuse.

But at this moment, a woman's snort sounded out of nowhere, which was particularly prominent in the silent air.

Then there was a "click" sound. Sitting next to Mo Qiusheng, his wife, Mrs. Wu, put the teacup on the table and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief. When looking at the boy, there was an undisguised disgust, obviously impatient to the extreme.

Wu raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, looking away, said in a sharp voice, "I think you are really interesting. Say you want to live with us, but the yard in the village refuses to let us renovate or add furniture. , Those who refuse this or that don’t want to feel that we are making trouble. Now we propose to separate, and make this hurt look of reluctance. Who will show it?” Thinking that this can fool the past, Continue to spend the big guy's money to buy elixir for your sick brother?Think beautiful!

Wu cast a contemptuous look at the young man in the chief seat, just wanting to take the money and leave this shabby place earlier, "I don't think you should waste your time. Divide up the family property quickly, with quick hands and feet." If so, maybe we can rush to the other side of Wu's courtyard before dark."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and Wu Shi simply didn't bother to talk to the boy anymore, and directly ordered the housekeeper to invite the second young master and the second young lady to come over, and then divide and reconcile the accounts.

However, the butler didn't seem to hear it, and didn't move.Only then did she remember that the butler was brought home by the boss of the Mo family when he was alive, because he had saved his life, so the butler had always only obeyed his orders. After the boss died, now he only obeyed his son Mo white.

Moreover, this butler is the only Mohist monk who has reached the golden core stage, so she can't do anything about it even if she wants to.Thinking of this, Wu's face became a little ugly.

But before she could utter a few words of ridicule, the boy in the chief seat finally reacted.

Mo Bai has been watching the couple acting with cold eyes.In fact, he had expected that the two families would come to this point. A few years ago, when the Mo family had not yet fallen, Wu's occasional complaints revealed the intention to separate the family, but he did not mention it for some reason.

Now that it is brought up, although he is not surprised, he is disgusted enough.If they had been less noisy at the beginning, he would probably have given him two good looks when he directly proposed to separate the family.

But the house they were tossing and tossing about was not peaceful, and it also affected Huan Ge's recuperation, which really made him hard to let go.Now he wanted to bring his younger siblings in, he couldn't be bothered to bear it any longer, and asked directly, "How does Second Uncle plan to divide?"

Mo Qiusheng didn't expect him to ask a question suddenly, so he couldn't help being taken aback.Looking at him again, his expression was still so calm that no emotions could be seen, and his face was slightly flushed uncomfortably, as if he and Wu Shi were like a farce before.But after a short pause, he returned to normal, "The situation in the Mo family is not good now, Second Uncle understands that it is not easy for you, how about asking for half of the money from the seller?"

After thinking about it, he added, "All the house and land in this village are also reserved for you." Anyway, the house is dilapidated, and the barren land can't grow anything good, so he really doesn't have any interest.

After all, he looked at the other party calmly, as if this concession showed how magnanimous he was.

But Mo Bai ignored his thoughts.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that this request was not too much, so I nodded my head as a response, but I still got what should be clarified.

He glanced at Wu Shi, who was watching coldly, and said coldly, "I agree. But since the family is separated, it is natural to have a contract document as evidence. Regardless of poverty or wealth, the eldest family of the Mo family has nothing to do with the second uncle."

Mo Bai said this to prevent trouble in the future, but unfortunately he really thought too much.Not to mention how long the current embarrassing situation will last, Mo Qiusheng and the Wu family absolutely do not believe that he can flourish, but this document is exactly what they want, and they are afraid that he will not be able to survive in the future. Run to join them.

So he didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and immediately asked for pen and ink to write the following document, stamped his fingerprints, and left with the money he got.

After Mo Qiusheng and his wife left, Xin Bo came forward and said worriedly, "Why did the young master agree to split the family? There is not much left in the Mo family, and now half of them are gone. I am afraid it will be even more difficult in the future." .”

"Instead of watching them toss around all day, it's better to leave earlier." Mo Bai said lightly, "If you spend more money in the back yard, you can always get through it."

While talking, the servants came and said that Zhuangzi's former steward came to see him.Mo Bai asked someone to bring him here.

The man came in quickly.

The man's name was Xu Xin, he looked about thirty years old, and he was wearing a shabby dark blue robe.Maybe it's because of the sun all the year round, his complexion is dark and rough, but it also adds a bit of honesty to that simple and honest face, which is not annoying.

"You were the one who handled Zhuangzi in the past?" Mo Bai said flatly, but his whole body exuded the majesty of the young master, "Tell me about the situation here."

"Back to the young master, the fields in the whole village are ordinary fields. It is difficult to grow ordinary food, and the growth is slow. But fortunately, the environment is stable, and the annual mass production has been maintained at about sixty stones,"

Mo Bai nodded, it was similar to what he saw when he came.

Sixty shi is equivalent to six thousand catties of grain, and the field in Zhuangzi is about [-] mu, with two seasons a year, which is equivalent to a yield of about one hundred catties per mu.In this way, the situation here is actually very bad.

Xu Xin was able to take on the burden of managing Zhuangzi at such a young age, so his mind was naturally more flexible than ordinary people. Seeing Mo Bai's appearance, he knew that the other party didn't care about these things.After thinking for a while, he said, "However, some villagers have transformed the simple spiritual field. Although the quality is not high, it is quite effective. I think the soil quality here has little effect on the spiritual seedlings."

Mo Bai paused when he heard the words, he saw the Lingtian all the way along the way.The texture is mixed, and the spiritual seedlings inside are also sparse.

However, if you want to transform the farmland, you must use high-grade spirit stones to pile up the spirit gathering array, and then water it with spirit spring water to make it meet the best conditions for the growth of spirit seedlings, so he is still not sure about the farmland transformation. What will happen next.

And spirit stones have always been precious, even the Mohists in the past had to spend a lot of money to buy them.In the current situation, he does not intend to try it for the time being.

Mo Bai asked about other situations in the village, and after careful consideration, he found that the situation became more and more embarrassing.

Because of its proximity to the Xiangyang River, the village mainly grows rice.And the fields right now are only seedlings, and it may take two or three months until the harvest, and the time to dry and remove the husks has to be removed.

After the family division, the Mohist family was already struggling, and the food was even scarcer. It was not known whether they could persist until the new food came out.

Suddenly, a clear and clear child's voice came from the ring on the left hand, the voice was full of indignation and unwillingness, "Master, why did you agree to split the family with the second child of the Mo family, and return the money so happily! How angry~!"
