Mo Yi is the fifth daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. Her lifelong wishes:
To marry a blue-robed scholar;
To live in a sunny little courtyard;
If she could also open a...
Chapter 126: Each Family's Own Affairs
The next day, Mo Rushan went to work.
He was smart and careful, and packed the snack boxes of Gui Xiangchun.
It's time to give a point to my colleague, and soon...
Everyone knew that his niece had been summoned by the Queen, who had given her a lot of good things.
Moreover, during the Chinese New Year, his niece went to worship with her mother and encountered danger, but was saved by a benefactor. Now he found out that the benefactor was actually His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!
Everyone listened and felt that it was just like what was written in the book.
They congratulated him one after another and asked him all sorts of questions.
There are smart people who sense the trick... a hero saving a beautiful girl... The books they compiled, whether they were serious ancient books or folk tales, the result of such things would most likely be one...
So, one of the lovers asked directly.
Mo Rushan was delighted, but his head shook like a drum, "Don't say anything nonsense!"
"That's not the case!"
"Oh my god, what are you thinking? It's so scary!"
"Please don't say that again. If anyone hears me, I'll become a laughing stock."
"Don't say that my niece is just a weakling. Just look at the Mo family. How can it be related to you, Your Highness? If Your Highness knew about this, he would blame me."
"…Why did Her Majesty the Queen meet her… This, Her Majesty the Queen must have a deep meaning, how can we guess?"
I didn't do any work that day, but my face was sore from smiling.
She returned home happily, and when she saw that the second son was not there, she pulled Mo Rusong and whispered: Several people have analyzed that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has "that" intention.
The two brothers stopped pretending to be scholars and just rubbed their hands and giggled. If it was true...
Mo Rushan was the one who decided on the Queen's reward: two boxes of bird's nests, to be given to the three older girls in the family and the pregnant Zhou, with each of them getting half a box.
As for other things, please keep them in the public place first and discuss them later.
This time, Wang was so angry that she even had a fever. She refused to call a doctor and just stayed in her room, ignoring everyone.
Now, hearing Mo Wen say that Mo Rushan had directly dealt with the Queen's reward, he became angry.
This should belong to the second room, right?!
If it was before, she would definitely scold her husband and even argue with Zhuang Shi to get at least half of it. It would also be glorious to add it to Mo Wen's dowry in the future.
But now, she would neither waste time talking to her husband nor ask for anything she got from Mo Yi.
Do you think she is rare?
...It is definitely rare... She pinched her hands and blamed all her unhappiness on her husband and Mo Yi.
Mo Yi asked her father to take her out to look after the shop, "Everything else is just empty talk, our own business is the most important!"
The father and daughter walked around for most of the day and returned in the evening.
Seeing the half box of bird's nest in the house, Mo Yi thought about it and asked Xiangzhi to send it to her sister-in-law. It would be useless for her to eat half a box, so she decided to let her pregnant sister-in-law eat it.
Zhou was very happy to receive it and returned the gift. She also praised Mo Yi to her husband who had just entered the house: "A few days ago, the fifth sister also sent a few pieces of cotton cloth to make clothes for the baby. They are fine and soft. I heard that she has the least money in her hands, but she has this heart.
People always say Mo Wen is generous, but I have never received any gifts from her. Not to mention Mo Qing, I just heard that she was crying and making a fuss with her mother because she didn’t get the bird’s nest.”
Moda looked at Zhou with a wry smile... She used to not like talking about these nonsense.
What's wrong?
It turned out that he didn't plan to go to the academy before the autumn examination.
Now I am disturbed by trivial matters and feel confused and want to leave again.
…
Wang Xiujuan went back, very angry.
All my kindness over the years has gone to waste. I won’t be involved in anything from now on!
Suddenly he remembered that he had not told Mrs. Liang about Mo Yi's entry into the palace, so he quickly asked someone to write a letter and send it to her.
Mrs. Liang was also shocked when she received the letter. So many things happened in these days?
The one who saved Mo Yi was King Qi...
She immediately took the letter and went to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.
The Marquis's wife read the letter and thought silently: No wonder we sent someone to inquire about that man that day, but we didn't find him. It turned out to be this...
I remembered that Liu Yuan was talking there that day and stopped "this person" from leaving. Then a few days later, something happened to the Liu family. Although it was not a big deal after a long investigation, he was demoted and fined.
The Liu family was still wondering where this sudden disaster came from. Could it be the work of this person? !
The Queen summoned Mo Yi...
Looking at the honest Mrs. Liang, the Marquis's wife said, "Liang You has gone to the Western Suburbs Camp for training these days and is not in the mansion. It is better not to tell him about this matter for now. In addition, you should not tell the family about the King of Qi saving Mo Yi."
"Ah?" Mrs. Liang didn't understand.
"That girl Liu Yuan stopped His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi from leaving. Didn't something happen to the Liu family later? Although they may not be related, it's better to have less trouble than more. After all, that old lady is your mother-in-law."
…………
Just two days ago, the prince inquired about the Mohist school.
Because it was so inconspicuous, I had to ask for a long time before I found the person.
After checking three generations, the prince finally confirmed that they were just an ordinary family.
Finally, as clever as the prince was, he was able to analyze Li Jing's real intention of wanting to enter into this marriage, which was: a delaying tactic.
The purpose is: to find a girl from a small family and get engaged first! The other party is not too old, so we can delay the marriage and plan for the future!
He had inquired about it: Elder Cheng's eldest granddaughter was only thirteen years old. She was pure and innocent, and was proficient in everything from playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
The great-granddaughter of Duke Anguo was also thirteen years old. She was as pretty as a peach and plum, and had a graceful manner.
This girl from a family of both civil and military talents is good in every aspect, except that she is young.
When he was two years older and wanted to discuss marriage, that bastard broke off the engagement with the Mo family girl again.
Given the Mohist situation, it would be easy to break off the engagement...
This guy is really cunning!
…
"Have you changed your mind yet?" the emperor asked with a sullen face.
"Father, what you are asking is..." Li Jing played dumb.
"Do you really want to marry that Mo family girl?"
"Since you insist that your son get married, then he should marry her."
The emperor said coldly: "What do you mean I must make you get married? You are getting married for me?"
Queen Jiang was standing by, and the smile on her face was much more sincere. "Your Majesty, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Since Qilang has taken a fancy to Miss Mo, you should just follow his wishes!"
The emperor was annoyed. "Hmph, there is only one thing. If I agree with you this time, then live a good life. Don't look so gloomy all day long, as if I owe you something!"
The queen smiled and shook her head, glanced at the emperor, and then asked: "Qilang, when do you plan to get married?"
"She's not too old, so let's set the wedding date for next autumn!"
When the emperor heard this, he realized that it was only the beginning of spring this year, and he pointed... "He's been gone for two years?"
"Father, cut off the beginning and the end, it's a little more than a year!"
The prince was right, he just wanted to delay. The queen sneered in her heart... Let's talk about it after the engagement!
The Emperor was angry. This evil creature has displeased me since he was young, and he is still the same now that he is old.
Sooner or later I will find your fault and punish you severely, so that you will know what reverence is!
"Your Majesty, grant the marriage first, and then take it slow!" The Queen advised kindly.
"Father, I have official business to report." It was Li Jing who became impatient first.
The emperor glanced at the queen and said, "I will ask them to draft an edict in a moment."
The queen was happy and took her leave with a smile.
"Recently, we received a tip-off that there was some unrest at the Hanshan Mine, and they said it had been suppressed. But there are several large mines over there, with tens of thousands of miners. We're worried that they might be linked together. My son has to keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't work, he'll have to take people over there."
The emperor's attitude also became serious, "Why didn't you report it?"
The father and son started chatting about business.
…
Mo Ruzhen, who was far away in Tongzhou, first received a letter from Mo Ruhai. She opened it and read it for a long time, but didn't understand it. "When did I have to care about Mo Yi's marriage?"
Half a day later, another letter from Wang was received, and sure enough, Mo Yi's birth characters were attached to the letter.
"What are these two doing?" After thinking for a while, I actually came up with a candidate.
However, every word in Mo Ruhai's letter showed his anger.
This lever...
Throw the letter into the drawer. She is too lazy to bother with it...
