When talking about the Mei family, we have to talk about the origin of the name of Mujia Village. The "mu" in Mujia Village is not the "mu" with the surname Mu, but the "mu" with the four surnames Gui, Mei, Yang and Li.

It was not the Ming Dynasty, but during the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Shanxi suffered a severe drought. Several fellow Datong villagers went south to make a living and came to Tongzhou. They settled in an abandoned village under Xiji Town. Later, the four surnames contacted each other and reborn, and then Mujia Village was found. When the Ming Dynasty, they moved to the Lin family and Du family. Although there were other miscellaneous surnames in the village, they were still mainly composed of the six surnames, so the name Mujia Village is worthy of its name.

The "Jiu Ding" who died of Gui Yuan's burden back then, in addition to the five males of the Gui family, the brother-in-law of the village chief, is also the father of the Yang family of Gui Erniang Yang and his third son Yang Tiezhu. The nephew of the village chief is Mei Qingzhu and Mei Qingzhu's cousin Mei Qingsong, and the second brother of the Li family of Gui's daughter-in-law Li.

The four surnames in Mujia Village all lost males, and the Gui family was the culprit, "Xi Gui" and "Dong Gui" broke up; the Yang family lost two strong men, and their family background was not as good as before; the Mei and Li families had different situations from Gui and Yang families.

Mei Er's grandfather died, but Mei Tongsheng was cheaper. Mei Tong gave birth to a son and a grandson was the only two scholars in the village. His second son originally married his eldest aunt Gui, who was the daughter of Grandpa Gui. Later, the "Nine Dings" broke out. Mei Tongsheng decided to let his son divorce his wife. Then he married the daughter of Village Chief Du and married the village chief Du's family. He was also a village elder.

A man died in the Li family and completely turned against "Xigui". After the letter of mourning, he immediately took back his new widow's daughter and immediately remarried the widower village chief Du. Before that, they had lost money and raised silver at the time when the village chief Gui got the silver price and bought the blue brick house of the village chief Gui's family. Now the east neighbor of the Gui family is the house of the village chief Gui then, and now the Li family lives.

Although the Du family is an outsider, the family has money and has connections in the yamen, so they tampered with the village chief Gui when selling land to raise money, which made others afraid to buy the village chief Gui's land. The village chief Gui had to sell the 60 acres of land from the three brothers' family to the Du family at a low price. Later, he quickly married the Meili family, an old family in Mujia Village, which also allowed the Du family to successfully take over the position of village chief.

Although the Lin family, who are also outsiders, did not marry the surname Zhu Lao and formed their own family, they bought a lot of real estate and had tribe members who were the capital officials, formed their own family and no one dared to bully them.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Gui Chongyang asked the families in the village from Mei family and Guichun, and then came to a conclusion.

The Mei and Li families colluded with the Du family, and the three families were afraid that they would not want to see the "Xigui" rise again. The Yang family did not break up with the Gui family, but their lives declined, and there were many suppressions from the other three. "Donggui" was stupid, thinking of keeping one's own life alone, but forgot the truth that "a tree alone can't make a forest" and destroyed everyone; the Lin family only looked at the wall, but neither got close to the Du family nor putting in the wrong hands on the "Xigui" and had room for struggle.

Until the night became darker, Gui Chun had already left. Mei's aunt and nephew also packed up the east house and let Gui Chongyang settle down. He went back to the west house. Gui Chongyang was still in a state of excitement.

The Gui family accepted him, and Gui Chongyang took the first step. Next, he had plans to improve the life of the Gui family and prevent the Mei family from attacking him. After washing up, he sat under the lamp, took out a book from the package, and looked nostalgic on his face.

This book is not a printed version, but a handwritten copy. The outer skin looks extremely ordinary, but the inside is parchment paper with extremely small strokes written on it. Unlike ordinary brush calligraphy, the thin strokes of needlework are not written in Chinese characters, but symbols one by one.

This is written by "Dad". The words inside are called "Pinyin". This is a mysterious word. As far as we know in the world, only the father and son know this word.

In Gui Chongyang's eyes, "Dad" must have a mysterious teacher like Guiguzi, so that he can learn a lot of skills. However, when he was young, he was too frustrated, which scared his "Dad"'s courage, making him unwilling to show off and hide his talent.

However, for Gui Chongyang's son, the "dad" was unreserved, and he also left him this mysterious manuscript. He took out one of the things recorded in it and could establish a family business. There were also some unpredictable prophecies, which were the greatest wealth left to him by "dad". Gui Chongyang had already memorized it and remembered the contents of the manuscript in his mind. However, because he missed "dad", he often read this manuscript.

But now Gui Chongyang is still young and has no fame and fortune. He is just a white boy. He needs to carefully choose how to "open source". Otherwise, whether it is the Gui family or Gui Chongyang, they are all fat, unable to resist the greed and peeping of the outside world.

Gui Chongyang reluctantly gave up one method after another to make money, chose the one with the smallest profit, and closed the manuscript and went to the kang.

The bedding in the cabinet on the east room kang was used by Grandma Gui before her lifetime, and it was not suitable for Gui Chongyang. Mei brought her own mattress and mosquito net from the west room. They were all used to be fresh but not old, but they had the fragrance of soapcorns.

Gui Chongyang tossed and turned, holding the manuscript in his arms, feeling sad. He was twelve years old this year and brought his parents' tablet back; after a few years, he would support the Gui family and would definitely try to welcome his parents' remains back home.

The leaves fall back to their roots, this is the root of "dad" and also their own roots.

In the west room, Mei's aunt and nephew also lay down.

Before, when Gui Chongyang mentioned that the Mei family would calculate the plan, Mei Duo was in the curtain and was just right. She was worried about it. She had no choice but to complain that her aunt should not promise to support Gui Chongyang's study, and was full of worry about herself.

"Aunt, I'm afraid!" Mei Duo said.

Some of the daughters of similar age in the village love to say that they are easy to marry, some of whom are sold for high betrothal gifts for their son's marriage, and even those who sell themselves as slaves.

Mei Duo lost her mother in her cradle, and Mei’s flower Ji Miaoling forced her to look after her family, which shows the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the Mei family.

Mei was not sure. Gui Chongyang said it was sure, but after all, she was a half-aged child. However, she could only comfort her in front of her niece: "If you have an idea in Chongyang, you will listen to him. He came back from Nanjing. He has insight and will definitely not be wrong."

Although Mei Duo still felt that her aunt trusted her half-aged child so much, she remembered the words Gui Chongyang had reminded her to scold Gui Chun before, and her heart beat faster. She really didn't expect that Gui Chongyang, who had just returned, would be sowing this layer of window paper. Those sets of adult words were reasonable and convinced, making her feel less picky, and the rest was gratitude.
