Chapter 135 Peace of Mind
The day before class, Mo Yi brought fragrant leaves with him.
The little girl was carrying a heavy bag.
"Her name is Xiangye, right? What is she holding? It's so heavy." Mo Yuan asked curiously in the car.
In fact, Mo Yi had forgotten that working for Nanny Zhao and Mo Yuan's classes would conflict with each other.
I just realized it now.
Mo Yuan is very smart and will probably know the answer soon.
Before the new shop opened and became stable, she and her father would not specifically tell their family about this, but... if they knew, it didn't seem like a big deal.
Mo Yi found that he was not as cautious as before.
Was it the marriage with Prince Qi that gave her the confidence?
Did my father finally pull himself out of the mud pit?
Is it the booming business and the recognition from those around you?
Maybe it is these experiences that have made me grow.
I really like the feeling of peace of mind.
"I'd like to remind you, sister, what I saw at Aunt Zhao's place: whether it's someone else's business or mine, I hope you can keep your mouth shut. If you have any questions or ideas, you can tell me and we can discuss it... Do you understand?"
Mo Yuan's eyes widened, "I see! Oh, the princess is so imposing!"
Mo Yi smiled and said, "I heard that the Liu family came here a few times?"
"Yes! My uncle and aunt sent me many good things. I am grateful to the princess."
"Yes, they did. So what about Aunt Three?"
"Alas, my mother loves her aunt and hopes that she can get along well with the Liu family. When my uncles and his family pay tribute to their ancestors, they can also take care of her aunt. Maybe she also hopes that she can have her own family... Alas!"
When they arrived at Zhao Ma's house, she was writing something on the table when the servant led them in.
There were still four maids in the room who had gone to the Mo family last time.
Seeing them coming, Madam Zhao stood up and said, "Two Miss Mo!"
"Madam Zhao!" Mo Yi bowed with a smile.
"Madam Zhao, Mo Yuan has come to class with her sister! Sorry to trouble you again!" Mo Yuan smiled tenderly.
"Miss Mo Yuan, you are too polite!"
"Mo Yuan promises that she will follow Madam's instructions in everything and will not affect your teaching of Fifth Sister. If I say or do anything inappropriate, you will hit my hand."
Faced with such a delicate and lively girl, Aunt Zhao also smiled brightly.
"Mammy likes girls who are modest and eager to learn. Moreover, you sisters are together, and you can encourage and advise each other, so you can learn faster. First, let me introduce these four girls to Miss Mo Yi: Hongyan, Luyi, Baimei, and Lanxing."
"Hello, young lady!" The four girls saluted to Mo Yi, their voices were gentle and their movements were in unison. There was a faint smile on their faces, neither flattering nor arrogant.
"No need to be polite. Aunt Zhao said that she would ask a few sisters to help me first. I would like to thank you for your hard work first."
"We dare not. This is what we servants should do!" said the beauty representative.
"At present, I am mainly following the lessons of Madam. For the time being, I don't need you to do anything for me. Let's get familiar with each other slowly..."
"Yes!" The four of them agreed without any further ado and bowed.
"Ladies, please take a seat over here! Look at your manners... I have taught you everything!"
"Although I haven't forgotten everything, I don't remember it all the time and use it all the time." Mo Yi took the initiative to explain.
"This is normal. You were already fifteen or sixteen when you started learning, so you've already developed some habits. You've been learning for too short a time, and you don't have time to practice at home. It's good enough to be able to maintain this state! However, from today on, you still have to practice standing exercises..."
Next, their courses officially began.
During lunch, Aunt Zhao was talking.
After dinner, the two girls took a nap in the inner room.
Get up, Hongyan makes tea for them, today they brew Longjing tea. Aunt Zhao doesn't stop talking, she talks about the origins of Longjing tea, its characteristics, the picking time, and the key to brewing it.
On the way home, the two sisters sighed, "How come a day passed in the blink of an eye!"
"Are you tired, Xiangye?"
"I'm not tired, I learned a lot today. Those sisters are amazing. The lunch was also very delicious!"
“You only know how to eat!”
In this way, the days passed...
Mo Yi was indeed doing her work, and Mo Yuan did see it, but she didn't ask anything.
That day, the two sisters returned from get out of class.
Before entering the door, a teenage boy came over and saluted with a smile, "Greetings to Miss Mo."
"Who are you……"
"My name is Lin Wang. I'm asked to deliver a letter to the young lady." The servant handed over the letter with both hands.
Mo Yi's heart moved, and he took it. The envelope was folded, and he opened it for a moment, then closed it again.
"Thank you so much!" She took out the reward from her purse.
The child took it with a smile, said thank you and ran away.
Mo Yuan really wanted to know what was going on, but she could resist asking.
Mo Yi put the letter away carefully before entering the house.
"This girl has so many secrets!" Mo Yuan rolled her eyes to the sky.
…
That day, Mo Yi didn't let Mo Yuan come to class, and told Aunt Zhao that he had something to do at home and came back early.
The carriage stopped at the door of her house. After she got off, she did not go into the house, but walked back.
Turning the corner, there is a teahouse.
He went straight up to the second floor, stopped, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.
When the door opened, the person inside was looking at her intently, "Brother Liang You."
"You're here..." Although I made an appointment with her, I didn't know whether she could come.
"Come in!" he said in a low voice.
The two entered the room and sat facing each other at the two ends of the round table.
Liang You poured Mo Yi a cup of tea.
The two of them sat there without speaking for a long time, letting those emotions surge in their hearts.
They are all young, and this is probably the first time in their lives that they are worried about someone.
During this period, their relationship was really up and down.
Until now, I have finally missed it...
"You've become a lot darker..." Mo Yi looked at Liang You. Not only had he become darker and stronger, he had also suddenly become an adult.
"I went to the Western Suburbs Camp for some training, and was exposed to the wind and sun all day long."
The two fell silent again.
I feel like I have a thousand words to say, but I don't know where to start.
Sitting there... Liang You suddenly became a little emotional, his chest heaving, his eyes moist, "Last time, the Marquis's wife said to give me a year. But I... worked very hard. I just thought: Don't really take a year! Practice some skills, let the wife see my goodness. Let the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion settle down. I will go to the Mo family right away..."
He rubbed his forehead and eyes with his rough hands.
"This matter also surprised me. Although I am facing a noble family in the royal palace and I have no choice, but... I really regret it..." Mo Yi was also very sad.
I thought about how I spent a long time thinking about it and finally made the purse stitch by stitch, but in the end I never had the chance to give it away.
And those nights, thinking of his smile, sometimes I couldn't help but smile too...
Biting her lips, tears wet her eyelashes.
"I am very pleased with your words." Liang You sighed silently, "I hesitated for a long time to ask you to meet. I know it is inappropriate. But I really can't help it... I am thinking, I will hand this letter to you, whether you come or not, I will have no regrets."
"Similarly... I am also very happy that Brother Liang You can treat me like this."
"These days..." Liang You restrained his emotions, "I asked about His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. He is an admirable person. Although it is said that he has a hot temper, he has done no evil."
"Um."
Liang You was silent for a while, "I also heard something... The cause of death of Queen Huiren, the former crown prince, the former crown princess, and Princess Ming'an... is still unknown."
Mo Yi was a little surprised. She didn't know about this. Her uncle and father had never mentioned it either.
I knew that the prince's mother and brothers and sisters were all gone, but I didn't know the inside story.
“No one told me these things.”
"It involves the royal family, and it's so tragic. How sad it must be for the emperor and the prince to experience this personally! No one dares to mention it."
"Is that so..."
"What I'm telling you is that life in the palace is different from life in ordinary families. It's not only rich and glamorous, but also bloody and dark. You have to be careful everywhere. When you enter the palace, visit other people's homes, and stay in the palace, you have to be careful about everything. If you encounter problems, talk to the prince more often. He understands what you don't understand."
"I understand." Mo Yi agreed. "Brother Liang You, how are your affairs going?"
"Madam really has her eyes on me! Most of us are good people, but there are also some who are scheming and secretly plotting against us."
"So... can you handle it?"
Mo Yi's worried look warmed Liang You's heart.
"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing."
"Don't underestimate those who look good. Maybe they are hiding something very deep!"
Liang You smiled, "I know. Mother said she took her sister to the Mo family."
"I have been taking lessons from Aunt Zhao. I heard that..."
After a while, Liang You took out a brocade box from his arms. "I can't take up too much of your time, so I'll be brief: After entering the Marquis' Mansion, I realized that a large family with a large business also means a lot of expenses, and money is needed everywhere!
I know the situation of the Mo family, I am afraid I can't give you much dowry. It's okay to marry into an ordinary family, but the palace... you can't do it without money. These..."
Mo Yi smiled bitterly: "Brother Liang You...please don't..."
"Listen to me! This is the private money I have kept since I was a child. After entering the Marquis' Mansion, the Madam treated me kindly. What's more, I really want to give this to you. Just treat you as my own sister..." After saying this, he suddenly felt extremely heartbroken.
Although the two of them had only a few real contacts, but thinking that it was her that he was engaged to, he felt at ease, as if she had been there for many years...
Mo Yi was also a little emotional, "I understand, but I can't take it."
"Mo Yi, just let me be more at ease. Even though we may not be husband and wife... we are still siblings, friends, and relatives for life."
"Well... okay!" Mo Yi made up his mind, "Then I'll keep it."
Anyway, there is still a long way to go.
Liang You smiled, "That's right. In the future, if I really get the title, I will be able to support you."
"I believe you. But at the same time, I also hope that, Brother Liang You, you can meet someone who truly loves you."
Mo Yi went straight back to her room, hugged the brocade box, and cried bitterly on the bed...
Three thousand words will make you sad.
