Chapter 131 Engaged Couple
Wang Qing came back quietly...
She took back the Mo Yigeng letter and said that her aunt had already known about the good deeds of the Mo family and would be back in the next two days.
"Don't worry, ma'am. My aunt said she will keep it a secret."
Finally, the matter is over without a trace...
Wang let out a long sigh and quietly found a good item, planning to give it to Mo Ruzhen when she came to shut her up.
After so many days of anger, irritation, worry, and fear, my previous illness had not yet fully recovered. Now that I had relaxed, my fever rose again.
She still didn't call a doctor. She wanted to have a good rest and didn't want so many people to visit her.
I have to show up even if I have to force myself...
As a result, after receiving the letter, the Wang family came out in full force again, and this time there were more people than last time!
The laughter and joyful chatter almost lifted the roof off the house.
Moreover, he just kept praising Mo Ruhai, as if they had never had a quarrel last time.
The old couple and the eldest brother-in-law were even more flattering than when they served the fish plate to the eldest son-in-law, and they kept praising him.
Mo Ruhai finally experienced the feeling of being a royal son-in-law, but to be honest: it is not easy!
Mr. Wang promised a lot: hold a banquet, add dowry...
But at the same time, he also had many more wishes: "If I can visit the palace in the future, my life will not be lived in vain..."
Moreover, whenever someone came to the house, Mo Yi would be called out, holding his hand and praising him for a long time and asking him questions.
Some people even pushed their own little girls in front of Mo Yi, hoping that she would take care of them. They also mentioned their promising sons and asked her to help them...
Mo Yi was overwhelmed by this and just smiled faintly without saying anything.
Mo Ruhai was on the verge of losing his temper, his face turned black...
Fortunately, Mo Yuan stepped forward, and together with Mo Fan, the two of them joked around and protected Mo Yi from behind.
Mo Rushan had just taken office, and although everyone knew that there was a big happy event in his family, it was not easy to ask for leave all the time. After two days of work, he returned to work.
Medha found that he couldn't concentrate on reading his books at all... He was afraid of missing his studies, so he hid back in the academy alone.
Mo Rushong is the one who takes charge of all matters at home and outside.
Mo Yi was so annoyed that she couldn't even work. When Nanny Zhao sent someone to pick her up, she whispered something to her father and left.
The courtyard of Zhao Ma's house has several levels and is larger than Mo Yi expected.
Although there are no carved beams or painted rafters, the house is neatly arranged, the yard is clean, and there is not even a weed on the roof.
"This yard is where we usually have classes!"
I didn't look around much, and went straight into a small courtyard. The main room had one large room and two small rooms. The large room was very big.
It's not like ordinary housing.
Along the walls were cabinets and shelves filled with…
There is a big table in the middle, and chairs are all around. It seems that sometimes there are more people here.
"Does Mammy usually work here?"
"Yes." Nanny Zhao looked around. "It's a little messy, but it's all useful!"
"From now on, you will spend most of your time here, so don't be polite. You can look through the things here at will. There are various teas on the shelves, and you can brew them according to your preferences. I have something else to do, so I will come back later..."
After saying that, she went out.
The yard was quiet.
The sun shines in through the glazed windows, and some dust particles float in the air between the light and shadow.
The room was warm, and she stood alone in the light, feeling relaxed and happy...
It would be great if I could work in such an environment.
She began to wander around.
There are many books, manuscripts, ornaments, vases, stone Buddhas, bronze sculptures, small paintings in the cabinet...
On the shelves are jars of incense, and on the lower levels are a variety of incense burners.
It was already on fire when Nanny Zhao went home.
I can look at them at will... open the jars, smell them one by one... and then put them back carefully.
On the shelf next to it, there are rows of jars, which are tea leaves. The stickers on them read: Longjing, Lu'an Guapian, Huangshan Maofeng, Wuyi Black Tea...
On the lower levels are placed sets of tea sets: purple clay, porcelain covered bowls, colored glaze...copper kettles and iron kettles.
She picked up a can of tea leaves one by one and looked at them. The last one she picked up was: Lu'an Guapian?
I've heard of it but never tasted it... I picked up a few slices and put them on a small plate. Before I brought it close to my nose, a faint floral scent hit me in the face.
The leaves are larger than usual, emerald green in color, and slightly covered with white frost...is that right?
Why is it a floral scent? Has it been smoked?
As soon as Li Jing stepped into the door, he saw...
The little girl stood in front of the tea cabinet, the sun shining on her light lilac pleated skirt. She held a small plate in one hand and picked up a few leaves of tea with the other, looking at them, smelling them, and rolling them, pondering them very seriously.
The whole scene made Li Jing think of the word "tranquility", and the corners of his mouth softened a lot.
"Mo Yi..." He deliberately lowered his voice.
Mo Yi turned around and said, "My Lord?!"
"Yeah." Li Jing stepped in, pulled a chair and sat down, then put the box he was carrying on the table.
"You want to see the king?"
The Prince of Qi in front of him was wearing a black python robe, the python on it was embroidered with silver thread, with some silver threads added inside. When he moved, there would be a radiance rotation. There were cloud patterns on the top and water patterns on the bottom. It was extremely gorgeous...
There was a silver crown on his head, a silver carved belt around his waist, and a piece of topaz...ah...the color of that object was extremely bright, moist and transparent. The carving...at first glance, it was obvious that the craftsmanship was extremely high.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but think of what was in my pocket.
Before, I brought two things I made myself. Although I didn't plan to really give them to him, I still felt that I should be prepared...
But look at what other people are wearing. How can you compare with what you have?
"Yes...I just found out you were going out after I told Mammy the other day. Mo Yi doesn't have anything urgent here."
Li Jing's posture was very casual, but he was arrogant in his bones, and his face was always majestic. Mo Yi, who was holding a plate and smelling tea leaves, almost laughed: Yes, I want to see him.
But when I actually saw it, I didn’t know what to say.
"How about making a pot of tea for the prince first?"
"Okay." Li Jing agreed and ignored her. He took a booklet from the box and read it carefully.
……All right.
"Drinking Lu'an Guapian?"
"Okay." The man was looking at something seriously and responded unconsciously.
There is a copper kettle next to the charcoal stove and a water jar on the ground at the door.
He poured water into the kettle, added two pieces of charcoal, and placed the kettle on the shelf.
What should I say to him...
She chose a pot and cup she liked, rinsed them with water, put the tea leaves into the pot, gently placed it on the table, and waited for the water to boil.
It’s not a good idea to stand all the time, so Mo Yi quietly sat on the chair next to Li Jing.
Li Jing turned his head to look at her again.
Mo Yi just remembered that he hadn't performed the ceremony for such a long time.
She stood up awkwardly and bowed, "Your Majesty, sometimes when you're nervous, you forget the rules."
"Sit down!" Li Jing put down the things in his hands without commenting, and silently looked at the "little girl" in front of him.
What is outstanding is her eyes. The pupils are black, and the whites are a very light blue, which makes her eyes very bright.
The look is simple and easy to understand.
Unlike Zhou Li, who always has various emotions and feelings.
Simple is good!
He was very satisfied.
Seeing that he was only looking at her but not speaking, Mo Yi clenched her hands nervously, "I heard from Aunt Zhao that the prince is going out?"
"yes."
The two were speechless again.
After a while, Li Jing slowly explained, "I'm back from the northwest, and I should be able to settle down in the capital. But I have to go to the Cangzhou Camp that I'm in charge of. But if nothing happens, I'll be back in two days. This time... it may take longer."
Mo Yi nodded silently. These were also things she didn't understand.
After a while, Mo Yi asked softly, "My Lord, how did you convince the Emperor to agree to this marriage?"
"You feel incompatible?"
"Yes, the Mo family is very poor, and I don't have a dowry!" Tu Lu said, then regretted it: "Uh... once, I saw a certain young lady from a duke's family carrying a dowry on the street. It was a ten-mile long red dowry, and it was dazzling from beginning to end. My family..."
The water boiled, and Mo Yi picked up the pot to make tea.
Li Jing thought about it and realized it was true!
Although he didn't care how much his wife's dowry was, it seemed to be quite important in the woman's heart.
According to the previous plan, there would be certain compensation for the Mo family and her.
It would be better to choose some property for her as a dowry.
The dowry of the Queen Mother was originally intended to be left to An Nian. Why not start looking for it here first? It will be convenient for her since it is under the care of Aunt Zhao.
"I'll discuss this with Madam Zhao later and see what I can give you..."
"Ah? Your Majesty, I, a commoner... don't mean that." Mo Yi quickly shook her hand.
"Then what do you mean?" Li Jing asked bluntly.
My face is burning. How can I be the one who is crying poor and asking my fiancé for a dowry?
How shameful...
"What Mo Yi meant was that the Mo family's low family background would be reflected in all aspects. For example, Mo Yi shouldn't have said these things..."
"It's okay. Just say it if you have something to say." Li Jing replied.
Mo Yi poured tea. "I heard from Mammy that there will be a lot of betrothal gifts when the engagement is made. Uncle and Daddy said that they are all mine."
Li Jing smiled and said nothing.
Each person holds a cup of tea and drinks it by himself.
Li Jing drank slowly and put down the cup.
Mo Yi was about to fall again, but he stopped her with his hand... "Do you have anything else to ask me?"
Mo Yi blinked. I think we haven’t said anything yet?
“No more.”
"Okay. Aunt Zhao is a trustworthy person and has some power in her hands. If you have something to say, you can tell her directly. If she can't do it, she will come to ask me."
"yes……"
