Chapter 74: Climbing High and Looking Far Away
Mo Yi had just left the yard when she met Liang You who came looking for her.
"Sister Yi!"
"Brother Liang You!"
"Why did you take so long?" Liang You was a little worried.
"It's okay. Brother Liang You..." Mo Yi wanted to make up his mind and end it all with him.
Before she could speak, Liang You said hastily, "Sister Yi, listen to me: I was implicated in this matter from beginning to end. I will try to find another way to fight for it."
"Brother Liang You, listen to me carefully: the basis of our marriage has changed a lot. It is normal for the Marquis's wife to arrange your marriage for the Marquis's mansion.
The path you are about to take is completely different from the previous one. So, even if our marriage fails, you don’t have to feel guilty. "
She raised her hand to stop Liang You who was eager to speak.
"To be honest, a girl like Zhang Xianlin is suitable to be the Marquis' wife. I'm just afraid that if you insist on it, it will affect your future. In that case, even if we get married, what good life will we have? You also fought for me in front of the Marquis' wife and did your utmost. Now, let's just let nature take its course, okay?"
"Sister Yi..." Liang You was anxious and sad.
Mo Yi smiled and said, "If the Marquis thinks I can do it, then I have her approval and will not refuse. But if she disagrees, then we... will still be children of good friends and siblings with different surnames, okay?"
Liang You shook his head: "It's not that I haven't thought through the cause and effect of this matter. Since I mentioned it to my wife, I know what I will face. I, Liang You, am not a person who will do anything for the sake of my future. If I were really that kind of person, I'm afraid my wife wouldn't take it seriously..."
Mo Yi nodded in agreement, but then said, "You shouldn't focus on this matter right now. There are more important things to do. Internally... when the Liang family members first enter the Marquis' Mansion, they are all cousins, and they are friendly and respectful to each other. But as time goes by, the competition will become more intense. Even... it will be dangerous. Because... the benefits are too great! Externally, to support a Marquis' Mansion, although I don't know what I have to do, the burden will not be light. You have to prove to the Marquis's wife that you can support it!"
"I know!"
"Then let's put this matter aside for now. In the future, whether it succeeds or not, I will bless you!"
"Don't worry..." Liang You just said this.
…
Mo Yuan came out of Qingfeng Pavilion and went back to the Mo family's room first.
After listening to the sutras in the Liu family hall, I am resting here.
Taking out the pearl bracelet, Mo Yuan showed off, "Mom, look! It was given to me by the Marquis's wife."
Liu took it and was very curious: "Oh, it's so big and has such a good luster, it's really a good thing! Madam Hou is really generous! Is it here?"
Mo Yuan smiled: "That's not all! My daughter also beat Wang Xiaowei in chess. She was so arrogant at the beginning, but she was so embarrassed later! She even overturned the chessboard. It was so funny!"
"Really? My Yuanyuan is really talented! Did you have fun?" Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter lovingly.
"I'm happy! After playing chess, I saw that the Marquis' wife was much more friendly to me! Mother, I will bring you some food later, you can rest here!"
"Mom, I'm not hungry. There are snacks here. Just have fun!"
Mo Yuan looked at her mother and felt a little warm in her heart.
On the way back to the cafeteria, I happened to meet Mo Yi and Liang You.
"Sister, has everything been arranged with Third Aunt?" Mo Yi asked.
Mo Yuan saw that Mo Yi had even told Liang You about her mother's visit? Hey, the two of them are really close. If she could really marry into the Marquis's Mansion, then she would often attend events like today, right? Touching the bracelet on her wrist, she nodded: "Don't worry! There are tea and snacks..."
It is said that people need to go out and broaden their horizons.
Just now, Wang, who was still dissatisfied with Mo Yi, was called aside by Mo Wen and muttered a few words seriously.
Although Mo Wen was still quite jealous of Liang You and Mo Yi's closeness, she was still very angry at Mrs. Liang's contempt for the Mo family!
After hearing her daughter's words, Wang finally realized it, but she was still mumbling...
Mrs. Liang came over and said, "Sister Wang, I'm sorry for what happened just now. My mother-in-law has a bad temper and sometimes speaks without restraint... Please don't be angry."
Wang smiled immediately, "I'm good friends with you and I like You'er, so why would I bother with her? Even though she has the word 'stepmother' in her name, she's still your mother-in-law. I know it's hard for you. But... Mo Yi is usually the most filial to her father and won't tolerate anyone saying anything. She doesn't usually have this kind of temper. You better not bother with it!"
"I think Yi Yi has a good temper! Outgoing!" Mrs. Liang nodded.
Mo Wen sighed again, having such a mother-in-law is a blessing. Thinking of the Xu family... the double mother-in-law, I don't know if it is easy to deal with.
Everyone sat down in the dining hall. Today, there were a few people who were disappointed. Liu Yuan was suppressed by Mo Wen, and Wang Xiaowei was humiliated by Mo Yuan. At this moment, their faces were not very good.
Yuan Huixian saw Mo Yuan and waved at her: "Sister Mo Yuan, come and sit here!"
Mo Yuan was overjoyed. Her social life was about to begin?
So he restrained himself and sat obediently beside Yuan Huixian, and the two of them whispered in each other's ears.
As soon as Mo Yi sat down, Wang asked, "Where have you been? What did Liang You say to you? Tsk, tell me now!"
Talking about this here? What on earth is my mother thinking? Mo Yi ignored her!
Mo Wen was on the other side of Wang, so he quickly pulled her...
Everyone sat down and started eating. They all believed in not talking while eating, so even though there were many people, it was very quiet.
It didn't take long to finish the meal.
The Marquis's wife said, "I am very happy to see so many outstanding girls! When the peonies in the mansion bloom in a few days, I will post a message and invite everyone to come and enjoy the flowers!"
Everyone agreed with a smile.
"It's a nice day today! And it's rare to come so far. If you sisters are willing to climb the mountain, go and have a look! You can also rest for a while before going back. Or, if you want to go back to the city right away, that's fine too! There will be lights and fireworks in the city tonight. It's better to go back early!"
Does that mean today's matter is over? No one has made a decision yet?
The Mo family looked at each other.
Wang said, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. If you want to go to the Heavenly King Palace, go ahead! I'm going back to my room to rest!" She then pulled Mo Yi and whispered, "If Liang You goes too, don't forget what your mother taught you..."
Mo Yuan looked at the temple on the mountainside and said coquettishly, "It's too high. I won't go there!"
Yuan Huixian felt that she and Mo Yuan could get along very well. "If you don't want to go, just take a rest! I'll send you a message later and invite you to come to my house. You must come!"
"Hey!" Mo Yuan agreed, feeling really happy: Everything is difficult at the beginning! Once you have a start, everything will be fine.
Wang Xiaowei felt depressed and didn't want to go, but Wang Xiaoyang insisted, so she had to accompany him. Fortunately... She secretly glared at Mo Yuan, this bitch didn't want to go.
The girls were going to the Heavenly King Hall halfway up the mountain.
You can climb the stairs to get there, which is a short way, or you can take the slope and go around slowly.
The girls all chose to walk along the slope, chatting and laughing along the way.
Liang You followed at the end, with his hands behind his back, looking at the girls in front of him who were dressed up in fancy clothes with a smile.
Seeing that he was walking at the end, Liu Yuan wanted to make some effort, so he also walked slowly, hoping to find a chance to talk to Liang You again.
It’s a pity that Liang You was very smart. He either walked a few steps faster or simply stopped at the side of the road to look around. He didn’t find any opportunity even when he reached halfway up the mountain!
The scenery is very different when you climb up. Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see a small river. Next to the river is a village. It is just past noon and the smoke from cooking has not yet dissipated.
The branches near and far were covered with a slight hint of powder. The air was extremely fresh, with a slight breeze, but not cold.
The girls walked out sweating slightly and felt very comfortable.
There were also many people on a spring outing on the platform.
"The winter is over, and spring is here. In the mountain temple, peach and plum trees are sprouting new buds. I walk until I'm sweating and think the road is over, but suddenly I see smoke from cooking, and then I realize there are people living out there..."
Liu Yuan stood not far from Liang You, reciting poems that drew applause from everyone. There were also climbers nearby, admiring the beauty and her talent.
After walking around for a while, Yuan Huixian said, "Let's go down. We are sweating and it is easy to catch a cold if we stay still." After that, she chose to walk down the stairs. Although it was steeper, it was shorter.
Suddenly someone called out, "Liang You?"
Liang You took one look and immediately responded with a smile, "Brother Qian Liang!" and walked over to speak.
The girls ignored him and walked down. Mo Wen followed Yuan Huixian, and then Mo Yi.
Several other girls followed.
The steps are steep and somewhat irregular, some high, some low, some wide, some narrow, and some broken.
Girls are all wearing skirts, so be extra careful.
As they were walking, Wang Xiaoyang shouted, "Look! An eagle!"
Everyone looked up to the sky.
But Mo Yi suddenly felt someone push him hard on the back...
