Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

The old woman's wrinkles deepened with joy as she held the silver coins. She estimated that the silver in her hand was worth half an ounce. She couldn't make so much money in a day!

"Ayi, you..." Xia Zixuan wanted to say that he didn't need to give it to her, she could buy it herself, but before she could finish her words, she was pulled away by him.

Xia Zixuan looked at her hand that was being held. She tried to pull it out twice, but failed, so she just let him do it.

Thinking about what the old woman had just said, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she didn't think about explaining anything. After all, she really liked him now, so why should she explain? Wouldn't that give other women an opportunity to take advantage of her?

Su Baiyu looked at the two people holding hands and pursed his lips. They were holding hands right in front of him. They really didn't treat him as an outsider!

Mu Chenyi took Xia Zixuan's hand and walked away. He didn't dare to look at her expression, for fear that she would be angry after hearing what the old woman had just said. But he didn't want to let go. When he noticed that she struggled twice, he wondered whether he should let go of her hand?

However, Mu Chenyi only thought about it and dismissed the idea in an instant. Since he had held her hand, he would hold her hand for life. Then he felt that Xia Zixuan did not struggle anymore, and he felt happy. Zixuan did not mind him holding her hand, so would he still...

Mu Chenyi walked and thought, and didn't let go of Xia Zixuan until he reached the shop. Fearing that she would feel uncomfortable, he changed the subject and said, "Zixuan, if you need any help from us, just tell us."

Xia Zixuan didn't think too much about it. Isn't it normal for young people to hold hands? She thought Mu Chenyi was embarrassed, so she pointed at the bucket and said, "Ayi, go to the backyard to get some water! I'll wipe the counter."

"Okay." Mu Chenyi picked up the bucket and walked towards the backyard.

Su Baiyu looked at the two of them speechlessly. It was just holding hands! Was it necessary to be so embarrassed?

But he didn't dare say it out loud, for fear of being beaten by Mu Chenyi. He walked over, picked up a bucket and followed him to the backyard.

More people means faster work. The shop was cleaned in less than an hour. Xia Zixuan looked at the sky and said, "Le Nan, go home and ask Le Han to prepare the canned food and soap. Ask Le Shan and Le Ping to send them over tomorrow. Ask 15 people from each of the two shops in town to come to this shop."

Le Nan listened carefully to Xia Zixuan's words and confirmed that there was no problem. "Yes, girl, I will go back now."

After Le Nan left, the group moved to the shop next door. This shop also had two floors, and Xia Zixuan planned to use it to sell things from Mingxiang Pavilion.

It took another hour to finish cleaning. The group went to Pinxian Pavilion for dinner and stayed there for one night because the shop had not yet bought pots, pans, quilts and other supplies.

Xia Zixuan looked at Mu Chenyi in the yard and said, "Ayi, I'm going back to my room to rest first. You should go to rest early too!"

Mu Chenyi's clear and smooth voice sounded, "Okay, go to sleep first!"

"okay……"

After Xia Zixuan left, Mu Chenyi and Su Baiyu came to the study room, "Ayi, why didn't you tell Zixuan about the cooperation in growing peppers!"

"Let's wait until Zixuan's shop opens! Otherwise, there will be too much to do and she will be easily distracted."

"Are you really sure about Zixuan?" Su Baiyu asked again.

Mu Chenyi said firmly: "Yes, it's confirmed."

"Then you should treat Zixuan well. It's not easy for her to live alone. And if you betray her, I won't stand on your side." Su Baiyu thought that after all, there would be delicious food if he stood on Xia Zixuan's side, so it didn't matter if his brother didn't want it.

Mu Chenyi saw what he was thinking and said helplessly: "I will treat Zixuan well without you telling me, so don't think about those messy things."

Su Baiyu added: "Next year I will also follow Zixuan to grow wheat and peppers, and then I will follow Zixuan."

"Yes, sure." Mu Chenyi was also ready to do so.

Mu Chenyi urged: "Okay, go back to sleep first!"

"Okay, it's late, you should go to bed early too!" Su Baiyu said with a yawn.

"Yeah." Mu Chenyi responded without raising his head while looking at the letter in his hand.

Mu Chenyi was currently reading a letter sent by Empress Su Muyan. The letter contained some words of concern for his health. It also said that he was in Hexi Village, so he should take good care of himself and leave any matters to his elder brother Mu Chenze and cousin Su Baijing...

At the end of the letter, she asked him vaguely when he would get married and whether he wanted her to help find him a girl. When Mu Chenyi saw this, he quickly skipped over the rest of the letter and picked up his pen to write a letter to his mother.

Although he has the final say in his marriage, it does not prevent his mother from seeing a girl she likes. He cannot let his mother arrange a match for him.

The content of the letter was roughly that he had a girl he liked, and asked them to stop interfering, otherwise he would not be responsible if his daughter-in-law was gone...
