They chatted for a while.
A few naughty children suddenly stuck their heads out of the courtyard door.
Xun Mu immediately stood up and went to the gate of the courtyard.
"Sir, the carp has been caught, but we were reprimanded by mother. These carp are not worth five baht, so you don't have to give us the rest.”The older boy carried ten Crucian Carps and some seasonings and handed them to Xun Mu.
Xun Mu still handed the remaining five baht to Wan Tong and added another one as the money for the seasoning.
"Your mother is sincere and admirable, but I, Xun Mu, am a person who cannot be dishonest.”
Wan Tong did not reach out.
Although their eyes showed that they really wanted the money, their good upbringing made these naughty children control their hands.
Seeing this, Xun Mu compromised and said,"How about this?" Go back and tell your mother that Madam Taishi and her son are reunited. She wants to ask the neighbors to help prepare a table of food and wine. How about that?”
Wan Tong was delighted." Then can we prepare the Crucian Carp ourselves and make some food?"”
"Of course!" Xun Mu chuckled. They were all neighbors, so they could have fun together!”
The younger child stared at him.”
The older naughty child gave him a slap and reprimanded,"Sir, you're so good. Why would you lie to me? Let's go back. We're going to eat meat today!”
Xun Mu returned to the hall.
Madam Taishi asked why.
" When I came here, I heard from a few kids outside the courtyard that Madam Taishi likes to eat Crucian Carps the most," said Xun Mu with a smile." I asked these kids to catch ten Crucian Carps for Madam Taishi to change her taste."”
"I originally wanted to give them more money, but these naughty children had a good upbringing and rejected my good intentions.”
"I took the liberty to ask Wan Tong's family to prepare a table of wine and dishes to make it lively.”
Taishi Ci felt ashamed.
She was so focused on going home that she forgot about her mother's favorite carp.
"Advisor Jun, thanks to your consideration, I almost forgot about this matter.”
"Ziyi, you miss your mother so much that you forgot about this matter for the time being. I originally had the intention of making amends, but since I heard that your mother likes to eat Crucian Carps, I naturally have to prepare!”
Taishi Ci was even more moved.
Lady Taishi saw that Xun Mu was not only dignified, but also courteous and thoughtful.
He felt even more admiration in his heart.
"Mister Xun, Ziyi is really lucky to have met such a good friend like you!”
"Haha! Madam Taishi is too modest!"
Not long after Wan Tong left.
A few neighbors came to the courtyard.
Pots, bowls, ladles, tables, and chairs were all prepared.
"Big Sister Taishi, I told you long ago that your son is brave and will definitely return safely. See, wasn't I right?”
"Big Sister Taishi, since we have a distinguished guest, why didn't you inform us in advance? If we didn't come, how would you be able to entertain the distinguished guests?”
"You talk too much! We have an esteemed guest here. This is a Confucian scholar. He is very particular. Don't let others look down on us for not knowing etiquette!”
Thinking of Xun Mu, the voices of these neighbors gradually became softer.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and businessmen.
It seemed like they were on par, but in this era, scholars were still in front.
Most of the scholars looked down on these " vulgar " villagers.
But Xun Mu didn't have such an idea.
If Xun Mu was really like most scholars," there are great scholars in his conversations, and there are no white men in his contacts ", how could he be trusted by Guan Hai and the fifty thousand Yellow Turban men?
"I heard from these children that the big sisters are especially good at cooking. Xun Mu couldn't help but miss the taste of the countryside in Yingchuan!”
"I wonder if the local flavor of Donglai is different from Yingchuan.”
Xun Mu said beautifully.
The villagers immediately beamed with joy.
On the contrary, the children were confused.
What was going on?
Did we say that?
Didn't Mother say that you're a Confucian scholar? Scholars are very particular and arrogant. Why is it different from what we understand?
While chatting with a few villagers, Xun Mu called out the Dun Jia Tomes of Arcane to read people's minds.
In just a short moment, the cold atmosphere became lively again.
He looked at the villagers who had become friendly.
The corner of Xun Mu's mouth curled up into a smile.
"In ancient times, there was a saying that Mencius 'mother moved three times. They all hoped that their children could be neighbors with talented people.”
"It's not without reason that Madam Taishi was able to raise a filial hero like Ziyi.”
"These villagers are all wise people!”
"These children are also worth nurturing!”
"Originally, we only planned to move Taishi Ci's mother to Xuzhou. Now, we might as well move these neighbors as well!”
Although it's hard to leave my homeland.
However, there was also a time.
Especially in this chaotic world, being able to live was the greatest hope.
Like Taishi Ci, these neighbors were orphans and widows.
There was no news of the men in the family. She did not know if they were dead or fleeing somewhere.
After thinking for a moment, Xun Mu came to Madam Taishi.
"Lady Taishi, other than apologizing, I also hope that you can move to the East Sea!”
