Chapter 199 To be an imperial decree
At noon, I had lunch at Zhou's house.
Zhou family’s dishes are light and exquisite.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mo Yi took a few bites without showing any blandness.
After dinner, they said goodbye and left. Li Jing went straight to do some work, while Mo Yi sent Li Xiangling home first. She came out again, wanting to go back to her parents' home.
The New Year is coming soon, and Mo Rushan has finished all his official duties. Now, he just eats and socializes all day.
He was arranging things for the New Year at home when he saw Mo Yi coming back, dressed quite formally. He was startled: "My Lady, why are you here?"
Mo Yi was ashamed. Was her uncle going to talk to her like this?
"Uncle, I'm accompanying the prince out, so I came to check on him. Everything is fine. Is my father home?"
"He went to deliver donkey meat to the boys of the Song family. Yesterday, the palace sent another cart of New Year gifts... The prince treats you very well."
"Did you eat the donkey meat?" Mo Yi asked curiously.
"We've eaten it. The pot has been cooked in the kitchen. It's so delicious to eat on this day. Zhang Debao is having dinner at our house. He's so happy!"
Mo Yi grinned, and her mother was about to come to her house...
"Is everything okay in the palace?"
"Everything is fine, don't worry."
In a short while, the Zhuang, Wang, Liu, Mo Yuan and Mo Qing all arrived.
With the King of Qi competing with him, Xu Ke also made some efforts. He asked people to add a lot of New Year's goods to the Mohist School this year.
In the past two days, the two sons-in-law have been sending gifts to the family. Wang was very proud and smiled when she saw Mo Yi. "Is there something wrong with Yi Yi coming back?"
"Mom, have you heard about Brother Liang You's story?"
"Ah? No? What's wrong?" Wang really didn't know.
"Yesterday, the emperor issued an edict ordering Brother Liang You to inherit the title."
"Ah! Is this true?" Wang was shocked.
"Really, the imperial edict has come down."
Mo Rushan was very happy when he heard it, "Great! It's great to be given out before the New Year."
Wang was anxious, "This... such a big thing, how come no one has heard the news!"
"The decree was issued only yesterday, and it has not reached you yet!"
"That's right... I guess your aunt doesn't know either. I'll send someone to send a letter right away! Oh, that's great! Yes, and get some donkey meat for your aunt's family."
I don’t know how much donkey meat the prince gave, and it was given away everywhere... "Mom, don't worry." Mo Yi said lightly.
Wang looked at her expression... "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, you have granted brother Liang You a marriage with Princess Wenfang, the granddaughter of Grand Princess Fengcheng... Grand Princess Fengcheng passed away yesterday. I went with the prince to pay my respects."
"This..." Wang blinked her eyes, "The granddaughter of the Grand Princess, the county lady? Oh my God! Liang You has really ascended to heaven in one step!"
Mo Yuan frowned, "Is it the one we met last time?"
"Yes..." Mo Yi replied calmly.
"Oh...how could this happen?!" Mo Yuan was dissatisfied.
"What's wrong?" Wang didn't understand.
"Second aunt, we met the county lady at the Queen Mother's birthday party last time."
"Do you recognize her? What's she like?" Wang asked.
Mo Yuan curled her lips: "Not so good! He's ugly, has a bad temper, and loves to stir up trouble. He doesn't look very smart!"
"Hey, you don't understand!" Wang said in a clear manner, "It's normal for a lady from a noble family to have a temper."
"But I saw that she just didn't like us and was targeting us everywhere. She didn't provoke her... She took the initiative to pick a fight, and her girl almost pushed me down!"
"Is that the stupid girl you mentioned when you came back?" asked Liu.
"Is that so..." Wang was worried, "Then why did the emperor grant such a..."
Mo Rushan frowned: "Okay! You can't say that."
Mo Yi was upset and couldn't say much to Li Jing, so she couldn't help but tell her family: "Mom, you don't know. At the beginning, this county lady was engaged to Madam Liang's biological son, the son of Marquis Jing'an. Later, the son died in the war. The princess's mansion was afraid of delaying their daughter, so they hurried to cancel the engagement. You tell me... How did the Marquis' wife feel when her husband and son died?"
"That's not very authentic... Yiyi, how about I talk to your Aunt Liang about this?" Wang was still anxious.
"Don't mention it. It will only make Aunt Liang anxious. Besides... Brother Liang You will probably have to go through the adoption procedures. He will be the main branch of the family from now on, the son of Madam Hou. Madam Hou is very wise, and I'm sure she can see what the county lady is like, and can control her."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, but also inform your aunt. She may not know yet... I'll ask them to bring some donkey meat over..." After saying that, Wang hurried to make arrangements.
After everyone chatted for a while, Mo Yi called Mo Yuan aside and said, "I have something to tell you..."
"What's the matter?" Mo Yuan was in a good mood. From now on, she could visit the Marquis' Mansion again!
"Yesterday, I met Zhang Debao's mother."
Mo Yuan glanced at Mo Yi and said, "Why are you being so mysterious? If we meet, we meet!"
"Zhang Debao's mother knows about you and him." Mo Yi said coldly.
"My Lady Princess, please don't say anything nonsense! What does he have to do with me?!"
"You are just pretending, aren't you? Don't you know what Zhang Debao thinks of you? Don't you know how much money he spent on you?"
Mo Yuan frowned: "He never said he had any feelings for me, so of course I didn't know! As for the money... some were given to me, and some were given to my family. Why did I have something to do with him?"
"Hmph! I saw clearly what Madam Zhang looked like. She's a powerful character. I wish you dared to say that in front of her!" Looking at Mo Yuan's pretentiousness, Mo Yi was furious.
"Of course I dare to say it!" Mo Yuan sneered: "I didn't seduce him, nor did I ask him for money. He is willing to make friends with the Mo family and be good friends with the second brother. What does it have to do with me?
Besides... he was originally a playboy, and he was silly... he got a job after meeting my second brother. When we were eating donkey meat hotpot yesterday, he said: After the New Year, the two of them will be promoted to a higher level! Isn't it because he met us that he is so motivated? If I were his mother, I would personally bring gifts to thank him..."
"..." Mo Yi couldn't help it and laughed out loud, tears coming out of his eyes.
After all, they are sisters and their ideas for solving problems are exactly the same.
If Zhang Debao's mother heard this, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
"What are you laughing at?" Mo Yuan patted Mo Yi. "Mo Fan has already reminded him to be frugal with his money. Don't send so many gifts to our family. It's not in accordance with etiquette. The Mo family can't afford to pay back the gift.
But the silly boy said: His former friends always let him spend money on everything, and no one ever persuaded him! What he spent was nothing, you see, this idiot... You didn't see how happy he was eating the donkey meat pot. "
"Sister, I think Zhang Debao is a really good person. His family background is also high for us to marry. Otherwise, why don't you just agree?"
"I don't want to..." Mo Yuan pouted.
"Why?" Mo Yi was really helpless.
"I've inquired about it. His family's title is not hereditary. His father is dead, and if there is no great opportunity, it will be gone... I still want to be a royal lady!"
"So what kind do you want?!"
"Anyway, you have to have a position... Hey Mo Yi..." Mo Yuan's eyes lit up, "How about the Fourteenth Master who always follows the prince? The two of us, sisters, will become sisters-in-law..."
"..." Mo Yi hurriedly shook his hand, "Don't do that! First of all, Fourteenth intends to marry the Zhao family girl. Secondly, although he has the title of a prince, the money in his pocket is probably not as much as Zhang Debao!"
"How can you compare them like that! Zhang Debao never did anything wrong before, but isn't his money his parents'? The Fourteenth Master is the emperor's son, and his biological mother is a concubine. If he can find a good reason in the future... Hey, that will be different... Princess... How glorious it will be when she goes out?"
Mo Yi thought that if he went to pay his respects, he would have to be received in person by the eldest daughter-in-law of the princess's mansion...
"It's very beautiful..." He shook his head and sighed...
