With Mr. Mo coming to help, he and Fei Yunhai complement each other. One is in charge of the shop in the capital and the other is in charge of the farm. There will be no worries in the future, and the farm will be on track.
Shen Mingzhu also agreed, "It will be cold for a while after the New Year. He comes here and there are people taking care of him. So...does he still have his parents and family?"
She was afraid of revealing something, so she pretended not to understand and even asked Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian said: "His father died of illness a long time ago, and now he only has an old mother."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said: "He is already in his late twenties, why is he not married?"
"He is a filial son. He is afraid that if he marries a daughter-in-law, he will dislike his mother, so he has to personally serve her every time. If he wants to go on an expedition, he should make all preparations, and then let the girls and wives take good care of his mother."
Xiao Xian sighed when he remembered that every time he went on an expedition, Mo Ruhui would explain his funeral arrangements as if he would never come back and told him to take good care of his mother.
"Then bring his mother over. There are so many people here, so she can take care of her." Shen Mingzhu gave him some advice.
Xiao Xian shook his head, "The old lady is very stubborn. She insists on guarding her three acres of land and three thatched houses and refuses to leave."
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help teasing him, "The prince has experienced many battles, but he still can't deal with an old lady. Can she read?"
Mo Ruhui's mother was a literate woman and a scholar. It was very difficult for her to raise her son alone as a widow.
Xiao Xian nodded, "I know how to read."
Shen Mingzhu smiled mysteriously at him, "Leave this to me. I'll write a letter and have it delivered. The old lady who keeps it will ask her son to come over."
Xiao Xian looked at her in surprise, "What's a good idea?" He racked his brains but failed.
Shen Mingzhu refused to tell him, "When the old lady comes with her son, you can come and thank me."
She asked Xiao Xian to copy the reply letter to the emperor, and she wrote the letter herself. After she finished writing, she sealed it with wax so that no one would read it. She also called the messengers and asked them to deliver it to Mo Ruhui's family.
But Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian still have to concentrate on investigating the assassins.
Although the Moon Worshiping Sect was almost wiped out by them, the person who hired them behind the scenes didn't have much clue.
However, the destruction of the Moon Worship Sect was enough to shock those in the black and white circles, making them dare not act rashly.
Even if one hundred thousand taels of silver is very rich, it is not cost-effective to bury the entire family just for one hundred thousand taels.
It doesn’t work if you can earn life or spend it.
Therefore, Shen Mingzhu did not encounter any danger in Daizhou afterwards.
But Daizhou did not feel calm because of this, but became even more nervous, because Xiao Xian no longer tabooed others knowing that he was here, and he was none other than Mr. Yan.
Today is the twenty-third year of the twelfth lunar month.
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu played chess in the room for a while, and then took the girls and subordinates to visit the villagers' homes.
Those tenants were very grateful to them, because they gave their families food, clothing, and prosperity. Many of them were people affected by the disaster. They could no longer survive at home, so they escaped from the famine and settled down here. Some people had offended the powerful and wanted to be punished.
Someone's family was wiped out. Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu found out about it and secretly used some tricks to get his whole family over. Some people also lost their land and their families were too difficult to survive, so they were recruited as tenants.
