Mo Chenxi followed his brother to see the land and fell in love with it at first sight.

It is not far from the water source and there are no villages around. No wonder it is much cheaper than the land near the villages.

She immediately told her brother to find someone to draw a blueprint for her and build a farm to raise pigs and chickens, and also to raise some goats, as she would need a lot of goat milk.

It is not okay to raise cattle on the farm. Cows are used to plow the fields. If they are only raised on the farm and not used for work, the government will take them away.

If there were no such rule, the nobles would raise cattle on their farms and kill them for food.

Mo Chenxi was very excited, an excitement that came from the desire to achieve great things.

The same is true for Mo Xinzhi. He has always felt inferior. His father passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, but he, as the eldest son, only passed the imperial examination and became a Xiucai. He felt that he had brought shame to his father.

His father asked him to study for the Mingjing exam, but he couldn't do well and didn't even pass the imperial examination to become a juren.

Fortunately, his father did not complain about him and said that if everyone could pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, there would be no one farming.

This time his father handed over the shop in Beijing to him, and he was very excited. Because his family did not have enough money, he discussed with his wife and took the initiative to go to his father-in-law's house to borrow money.

Mo Chenxi and her brother returned to the farm. Seeing that there was no one around, she wanted to learn how to drive a horse-drawn carriage.

Mo Xinzhi said, "Big sister, forget it. You haven't recovered yet. If you want to learn in the future, I'll ask Jinchuan's mother to teach you."

Jinchuan is his eldest son. His father-in-law's family is a bodyguard business, and all the women there can ride horses.

Mo Chenxi didn't force it, but suggested sitting outside as he didn't want to stay in the car.

Mo Xinzhi drove slowly while Mo Chenxi admired the scenery along the road.

When they were almost at the farm, they saw a man on horseback looking at them. Mo Xinzhi was displeased and stopped the carriage to let his elder sister get in.

The man kept following them.

Mo Chenxi peeked out from the gap in the car curtain and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looked very energetic and didn't look like a lecher.

Besides, she is not a young beauty. It is obvious that she comes from a wealthy family. Even if that man wants to tease her, he can't tease her because she is not even a middle-aged woman.

Mo Xinzhi drove the carriage slowly, and seeing that the man was also riding slowly, he sped up, and the man also sped up.

He glared at the man and thought to himself, I can't let my elder sister live here anymore.

The person riding the horse was Wang Jingye. He was sending his cousin back to the capital. When he came back, he saw Mrs. Mo sitting outside the carriage, swinging her legs, looking leisurely.

He thought of his wife. Every time she became pregnant, she was not allowed to ride a horse or drive a carriage, so she just sat there like that.

At first he thought the person driving the coach was Mo's husband, but after looking carefully, he found that it was not Mo's brother. He thought it was probably Mo's brother, who looked a bit like a sister.

He found it a little funny to see the Mo brothers glaring at him. They thought he was a lecher.

Wang Jingye followed intentionally. When the Mo family's carriage went fast, he went fast too. When it went slow, he went slow too. When they arrived at the gate of the Mo family's manor, he stopped.

Mo Xinzhi supported his elder sister and quickly walked towards the manor. At this time, Wang Jingye dismounted, stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you from the Mo family manor?"

Mo Chenxi and her brother both stopped, but she didn't look back.

Mo Xinzhi turned around and clasped his fists, saying, "My last name is Mo, and this is my brother-in-law's farm."

Wang Jingye also clasped his fists and said, "My last name is Wang. I live in the village next door. I heard from my cousin that I know someone from this village. I saw your carriage coming this way just now on the road and was wondering if it was you. What a coincidence! Since we've met, I want to thank Madam He on behalf of my cousin."

When Mo Chenxi heard him say his last name was Wang and that he lived next door, she immediately turned around and bowed to Wang Jingye, saying, "So it's Brother Wang."

The corners of Wang Jingye's mouth twitched when he heard her call him "Brother Wang". He remembered what his cousin said, that although Mrs. Mo didn't look like a smooth-talking person, she was good at taking advantage of others.

Mo Chenxi felt even more that the Wang family was not an ordinary family. Mrs. Wang’s cousin was dignified and his every move was very dignified.

She introduced her brother, "This is my brother from my mother's side."

Mo Xinzhi bowed again, "Brother Wang, my name is Mo Xinzhi. Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to Zuixianlou."

Wang Jingye had nothing to do, so he heard everything about the Mo family from others. Before, he was not allowed to interact with any of the female members of the Mo family, and then Mo Xinzhi happened to come.

"How can I let Brother Mo treat me? I'll treat you. It just so happens that I haven't tried the food at Zuixianlou since I came to the capital."

The two made an appointment.

After entering the village, Mo Xinzhi asked what the Wang family next door did.

Mo Chenxi said, "I don't know either. I first met her on the way to Shuangfeng Temple. The farm next door was sold, and I didn't expect it was bought by the Wang family. I saw that Madam Wang was not an ordinary person, so I wanted to make friends with her. I gave her snacks I made myself twice, and yesterday Madam Wang even invited me to visit her farm."

Mo Xinzhi said, "Brother Wang speaks with an accent that sounds like he's from another place, and he said he just came to Beijing, so maybe he's doing business."

Mo Chenxi said: "I don't think so. The people around Madam Wang are not something that a merchant can afford."

Among the nobles she had met after she came here, the highest-ranking one was from the Peng family. In fact, if someone else had met the Queen Mother, even if they would not have guessed that she was from the palace, they would have guessed that she was from a family of the third rank or above.

It was because Mo Chenxi, a time traveler, believed that ignorance is not a crime that he gave Madam Wang some worthless things. Other people would not give homemade things or live chickens to ladies of the third rank or above.

The Queen Mother thought that Mrs. Mo was innocent and had never seen the world, and she also found it interesting, so she did not reveal her identity and talked to an ordinary person.

Mo Chenxi asked his younger brother to go back tonight and tell his father about the Wang family in the neighboring village, to see if his father knew which family in the capital it was.

The next day, Mrs. Zhao came in Mo Xinzhi's carriage, bringing snacks from Wufangzhai and some pickles.

"Sister Mo, I went to the He family to see you a few days ago and heard that you were coming to the village. I told Jingyi that if the Mo family went to the village, I would go with them. Your brother came to pick me up this morning."

This was Mrs. Zhao's first time here. As she walked in, she felt that this place didn't look like a leisure resort, but more like a countryman's courtyard.

It seems that something happened to the He family before. Sister Mo sold the dowry shop and sent the servants here. You can tell from the smell on the farm that they raise pigs and chickens.

When she first came in, it was Liao's mother who led her in. At first glance, she didn't recognize her and thought she was a country woman.

Mo Chenxi asked Qiuyan to light incense in the house. "I also thought it smelled bad at first, but I couldn't smell it after living here for a few days. But if I had to choose, I would rather live here and smell chicken shit than live in a house. It's small and crowded. I want to walk in the yard, but when I turn around, I touch my heels."

Mrs. Zhao chuckled.

After laughing for a while, he said, "By the way, when I came in just now, a man left with your brother. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. Do you know who he is?"

Mo Chenxi exclaimed, "It's Big Brother Wang from the village next door. He and my brother have made an appointment to go to Zuixianlou. I don't know what the Wang family does. Sister, think carefully, where have you seen him?"
