Too High to Reach

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 95 Life Goes On

Chapter 95 Life Goes On

After coming out of the Mo family, Nanny Zhao went straight back to the palace.

She had a special status in the palace and could go to the backyard as well as the front study.

Li Jing was talking about something and waited for a long time before he found a chance to see her.

Nanny Zhao talked about the Mo family's affairs, "It's probably like this... It's similar to what Meng San investigated before. The girl's eyes and nose were bruised and purple..." Nanny Zhao gestured to the location and couldn't help laughing when she thought of that strange appearance.

Li Jing could also imagine the scene, his expression was gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"That girl is still quite different from a lady from a wealthy family... However, she is quite calm and steady despite her young age. She is not as petty as expected, after all, she is from a family of scholars. But her uncle Mo Rushan seems a bit impetuous!"

Li Jing smiled: "It's normal for a Jinshi in his early twenties to be a little impatient after so many years of hard work!"

"Yes. When she sent me out, Miss Mo even went around in circles to ask about our purpose. She said that her family was small and had never encountered such a thing. She was worried that the elders in her family would be uneasy, so she wanted me to give her a hint. Ha, little girl, it's not bad to have such a reaction after encountering such a thing!"

Li Jing hummed.

Aunt Zhao said, "The Queen didn't let Zhuang Zhen mention the matter of the second day of the second month."

"Don't worry about her. There are still a dozen days left...you have to take care of everything that Miss Mo has to do when she enters the palace!"

"Yes. Although the time is not long, but if it is just this time, I am confident that there will be no big problem. Moreover, I will accompany Miss Mo at that time."

"Thank you for your hard work. If you need anything special, just look for Feng." Having really come to this point, Li Jing also felt that he was being too frivolous.

But he just smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhao Ma nodded and agreed, but she went straight home after leaving. She would not tell Feng Li Niang about it! She had the power to manage and control the prince's property and manpower, and use the prince's connections.

Whatever you want to do, just do it and make the reasons and accounts clear.

Why bother arguing with Feng Li Niang?

Then, she suddenly laughed: Why am I acting a little childish at my age?

Although she laughed, she still had a trace of doubt in her heart: Will the prince tell Feng Li Niang about this matter?

What would happen if Feng Li Niang found out?

She cultivated it herself. If she said she understood it, who else could do it other than herself?

Back then, Feng Li Niang refused to marry Zhou Dong and insisted on staying with the prince...

The prince is still a rare talent. From his status to his talent, from his appearance to his bearing, there is nothing to fault with him. It is normal to like him.

I have no objection.

It is normal for Feng Liniang to be greedy for the luxurious life in the palace.

I can understand it myself.

Whether to choose to be a concubine of a rich man or to be a wife of a virtuous woman is just a choice of one's heart and there is no right or wrong.

The differences between Feng Li Niang and I were caused by different personalities. Rather than saying that we were drifting apart, it would be better to say that when she made her choice, she also made her own choice. The rest was just decency...

Feng Li'niang's recent behavior made it very clear that she wanted to seize more power and win over more people in order to become the princess.

The other one, who was squeezing me, was blaming me for not helping her? Or maybe she thought that if I was willing to help her, she would be able to get back on track.

funny!

Why should I help you?!

I didn't expose you in front of the prince because I didn't want to distract him.

But the palace really needs a good princess!

I think of the look in Feng Li'niang's eyes when I first met her: fear, timidity, desire, flattery, and agitated thoughts.

Think again of the eyes of the girl from the Mohist school: clear, bright, and unevasive.

Well, Xu is really good!

The eyes cannot deceive people.

That night, Wang and Mo Ruhai tossed and turned in bed.

Everyone has a lot to say, but if a couple talks about it, it will only end up as a quarrel.

It's easier to talk to my sister than to tell her. What others can't guess, maybe my sister can do it! Besides, there's my brother-in-law!

So Wang went out excitedly early in the morning. She wanted to take Mo Yi with her, but when she thought about that girl, she realized that such a good thing could spoil her fun...

Just like her dad!

Mo Yi was not idle either. She dressed herself and even applied more powder. As soon as her father called her, she slipped out.

Seeing a crescent-shaped bag made of linen slung over her daughter's shoulder, she asked, "Yiyi, what are you holding?"

"This?" Mo Yi took a look. "Oh, this is a piece of linen. It's not enough for anything else, so I sewed a bag with it. This cloth is strong and durable. Look, it can hold a lot of things!"

"Why do you always have these weird things!" Mo Ruhai shook his head, but his tone was full of admiration.

He walked out of the second courtyard with brisk steps. There was a small donkey cart in front of the door, which had been hired earlier.

We got into the car and headed straight to Liuli West Street, where the most jade artifacts were sold.

This journey was also the happiest time for Mo Yi.

Mo Ruhai was very open-minded and introduced the street view to Mo Yi who was looking outside through the curtain.

Bustling streets, shops of all kinds, shouting, people riding horses and carrying loads, houses of all sizes. The atmosphere is full of life...

I even passed by "that kind of" place. In the morning, the place was without the bright lights and revelry of last night, and was instead quiet and desolate.

After getting off the bus at Liuli Street, the father and daughter started shopping.

It was still early and the shop had just opened. There were no customers and the shop assistant was cleaning.

The father and daughter were not in a hurry. They strolled around slowly and went into every door they saw!

The shop assistants all had sharp eyes and recognized them as soon as they saw them. They winked at each other and said: Look, this father and daughter who only look but don't buy are here again!

Everyone was busy with their own work and ignored them.

You can look at it, but you are not allowed to touch it.

Before, there would occasionally be kind-hearted guys who would take out some good things for them to see and touch.

Those who are arrogant and hate trouble will send them away with cold words.

The father and daughter were thick-skinned enough not to be annoyed.

Now, Mo Yi is still not sure about the special top-notch items, rare items, and top-level items. For the vast majority of other items, there is no problem. Moreover, he can remember them after seeing them clearly. As long as he understands them clearly, he will not make mistakes again in the future.

If a little girl has this ability, the store owner and the shop assistants will look at her with awe.

There were shops nearby that they wanted to rent. Mo Ruhai had checked them out in advance. He took Mo Yi to check them out again and explained in a low voice.

They couldn't afford to rent the entire shop and could only share the rent with others.

As Mo Yi listened, he calculated: location, neighboring shops, current goods, rent, owners and managers, and employees. He would also find a teahouse nearby to ask about the reputation of these shops.

She was very patient, just looking and not saying anything. She looked for a long time but still didn't make a choice.

"Daughter, are you ready?" Mo Ruhai was anxious.

"Dad, don't be impatient. You have to come back a few more times. It's early in the morning and no customers have come yet. You have to come back when there are more customers!"

"Okay! Then, let's go to Qizhen Tower and take a look?!" Mo Ruhai was very happy when he mentioned this.

When Wang saw her eldest sister, she said that someone had come from the palace yesterday.

Wang Xiujuan was shocked. "What happened? Tell me in detail!"

This is Wang's strong point. He describes every detail vividly.

Wang Xiujuan blinked her eyes and listened for a long time but still didn't understand.

But she took it very seriously and sent someone to call her husband back.

Brother-in-law Qin didn't know what was going on, so he hurried home and listened for a long time, but was also confused.

“Although I don’t know the reason, it’s impossible that Mo Yi was allowed to enter the palace, and it has nothing to do with the Liang family!” Brother-in-law Qin affirmed.

"But... there are only these two things happening at home recently! It has nothing to do with Wen Wen, right?! If it's because of the Xu family, then they are here to see Mo Wen, right?"

The three of them discussed for a long time but could not come to any conclusion.

Finally, Wang Xiujuan comforted:

"The Mo family is a small family, and it's not a bother to anyone. The Queen is even less likely to embarrass a maid. Don't worry! Don't panic, just live your life as usual. If anything else happens, let me know immediately!"
