87 087 Rest and Relax

◎Take some time off! Sometimes being too smart can be quite helpless.◎

Because Mo Yu is a lazy person, even if he came to this fictional world of the Red Mansion with a Qing Dynasty background, he chose to lie down and do nothing

. He had no intention of studying interpersonal relationships to climb up, so he did not specifically collect information such as the complete genealogy list of the royal family of this dynasty. Therefore, when he first heard the name of Prince Ping Naersu, he did not feel anything special.

Fortunately, System 006 provided him with relevant information in time, and he finally connected the whole story together-it turned out that this Prince Ping had such a great background. Jia Yuanchun was indeed amazing. She found such a person in such a short time. He perfectly solved her current problem.

This Prince Ping should be the great-grandson of Master Kang from the paternal side. Logically, he should be a generation apart from Jia Yuanchun - because Yuanchun's grandmother Jia Mu and Master Kang's wet nurse, the old lady of the Zhen family, are of the same generation. So, they are probably in the relationship of aunt and nephew. However,

the royal family of this dynasty has never cared much about the generation. Since the time of their ancestors, they have been very tolerant of aunts and nieces marrying the same man. The wrong generation in the case of Yuanchun and Prince Ping is definitely a small matter.

But for these two people, generational division is not a big problem.

The problem is that Yuanchun is five years older than this Prince Ping...

As the saying goes: A woman three years older than her husband is a golden brick, a woman five years older than her husband is all in vain... In vain is still a minor thing, what is more terrible is that there is also a saying that "a woman five years older than her husband is as old as her mother"...

Not to mention how much discrimination and stereotypes against women this saying carries, just the malice and irony are already beyond words.

What the child said about Narsu being the Prince of Ping is actually not accurate.

It is estimated that it is because this little brother Narsu has only inherited the title of Prince Ping not long ago, and he has not yet gotten used to changing his words, so he still calls him Prince Brother.

But in fact, this little brother Narsu had already inherited the title of Prince of Ping when he was only eleven years old in the 40th year of Kangxi, which was two years ago.

And this year he is only thirteen years old.

Although the royal family has always had the habit of early marriage, and there are many men who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, most of them still have to wait until they are fifteen or sixteen years old to get married.

The same is true for Narsu.

Because he is too young, he is still unmarried until now.

Not only is he not married, he doesn't even have a concubine.

This is because he had just finished mourning for his father, the late Prince of Pingdao, Narfu, and had not even thought about looking for a woman...

It was because Narfu died of an acute illness two years ago that the eleven-year-old Narsu inherited the title of Prince of Ping.

Of course, an eleven-year-old child has not had the opportunity to consider women, and during the period of mourning for his biological father, his private life cannot be chaotic.

Mourning for a father should be a three-year long mourning period.

According to ancient rituals, it should be at least two years, which is twenty-seven months.

Narfu has just completed the twenty-seven months of mourning.

If the marriage is arranged now, plus the preparation time, it will easily be delayed for another half a year, and the three-year period will be almost up.

In this way, Narsu has fulfilled his filial piety.

The most important thing is that at this time, this newly-minted Prince Ping was caught by Jia Yuanchun.

The eighteen-year-old Jia Yuanchun was at the best age for a girl. If it weren't for entering the palace, she should have been married three years ago.

She might have already had her own legitimate children, but now she has to worry about being betrothed to a thirteen-year-old husband for the sake of survival. It is really sad.

However, it must be said that this is already her best choice. It is even a bloody road to kill in a desperate situation - such a high-quality marriage partner as Prince Ping is definitely not only targeted by Jia Yuanchun's family, but also by countless families in the powerful circles in the capital. Just

kidding, that is the principal wife of Prince Ping. This kind of honorable position is not something that ordinary people can dream of.

It is said that people in the families of the four princes and eight dukes have their eyes on this position, and many noble women have already begun to frequently enter the palace to meet the empress dowager and various high-ranking concubines. The purpose is to make arrangements in advance and want to give their own girls to the Prince of Ping as the principal wife.

Several of them have intentions, especially the niece of Princess Nan'an, who has the highest voice and is said to be the most favored by the Empress Dowager. It can be seen how strong the competitors Jia Yuanchun faces are.

The most embarrassing thing is that the niece of Princess Nan'an is only fourteen years old now, which is only half a year older than the newly-minted Prince of Ping, Narsu.

This age is really too suitable.

Although the two families did not say it explicitly, it has basically been decided.

Just wait until the New Year is over, Naersu is out of mourning, and the niece of Princess Nan'an is also of marriageable age. It's just the right time to arrange a marriage for them. It can be done that year, and they can get married at the end of the year.

Look, even if System 006 doesn't tell you about this kind of thing, Mo Yu can just sit in the crowd for half a day and hear most of it.

Anyway, let's not talk about anything else, this public opinion advantage is full.

So, at first, Mo Yu didn't even think that Jia Yuanchun would choose this young Prince Ping.

In addition to the fact that he really didn't know the existence of this Prince Ping, he didn't even consider the possibility of these two people.

Even if we don't mention the existence of the niece of Princess Nan'an, just talking about the age difference, Mo Yu is a little bit unable to imagine - the woman is five years older than Nan Fang, is "sister-brother love" still so fashionable these days?

My big sister Yuanchun is amazing, I really admire her.

After being shocked, Mo Yu quickly came to his senses, because this matter came too suddenly. Thinking back to Jia Yuanchun's performance that day, Mo Yu always felt that he was being tricked... As for why he succeeded in getting the Prince of Ping, most likely his mother and sister knew something.

No, this kind of melon, you must rush to the front line to eat a bite.

Mo Yu was very itchy, so he simply took advantage of the upcoming holiday and asked for leave to go home - yes, this was also one of the reforms he promoted in the study room.

In addition to the break between classes, he still wanted to take a weekend off.

Even if they can't have two days off, they have to have one day off. Even if they can't have one day off, they have to have one day off every ten days - the officials working in the court also take vacations at this frequency.

It doesn't make sense that these elementary school students and children have to study harder than working people.

What? You said that students in the world have a harder time than working people, so how can it be the same?

They don't need to take the top exam, so they don't have to be so competitive.

In short, with Mo Yu's unremitting efforts, the white-bearded old tutor finally agreed to their request for three days off every month.

Of course, they have to ask for leave in advance. And there can only be a maximum of three days a month.

If you use up the vacation time due to illness or something in a certain month, you have to make up for it at other times.

This kind of real energy is really very much like the style of a dean of studies.

Mo Yu complained a few words silently, and then compromised obediently in the murderous eyes of the old white-bearded tutor - after all, there was no loss in agreeing first, at least he could still keep the three-day vacation, it was not in vain.

Moreover, accepting the three-day vacation arrangement does not mean that you can't add more in the future.

Let's take a long-term view.

So Mo Yu temporarily compromised in the increasingly angry eyes of the old white-bearded tutor and the cheers of the young masters. He

didn't expect that it would be useful this time, which was a pleasant surprise.

After asking for leave from the old tutor, he got on the carriage and left the palace and went to the Lin Mansion.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu, who had received the news a long time ago, came out to greet him directly.

Ever since Mo Yu became a companion to the little princes in the palace, he has spent much less time with Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu.

So, studying in the upper study is really hard. You have to get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog. It is not a job for humans.

It's a pity that I can't resign.

Because "the emperor's order is difficult to obey", as long as their Lin family wants to stay in the court, they can't disobey Master Kang's wishes casually. It's a bit unpleasant to think about it.

Fortunately, apart from this, the palace is quite fun.

You can't finish listening to gossip in a day, not to mention, you can also watch the old tutor break down and watch the princes and grandchildren fight each other.

In short, it's still fun, so I'll do it for another two years.

When Mo Yu returned home, it was time for lunch. Although Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu wanted to talk to Mo Yu because they hadn't seen him for a long time, they held back because of the rules of the Lin family and they were afraid of disturbing Mo Yu's meal. They waited until Mo Yu finished his meal and sat in the flower hall to chat before starting the routine after-meal chat.

Jia Min smiled and said, "What's wrong with Mo today? You came home early without saying anything. Is there anything important?"

It must be said that the beautiful old mother's smile is contagious, which makes people feel good when they see her. Seeing Jia Min's kind smile, Mo Yu also started to smile. While drinking tea to digest the sumptuous lunch he had just eaten, he explained:

"It's nothing serious. I just heard that the eldest daughter of the Jia family's Rongguo Mansion, my second uncle's cousin Jia Yuanchun, is going to be pregnant?"

As soon as he heard this, Jia Min understood immediately. She faded her smile a little and said seriously, "Brother Mo, how did you get the news?"

Mo Yu said, "After the morning class this morning, I was sitting in my seat drinking tea and heard two classmates chatting outside the window. What happened? Why did Madam ask this?"

Jia Min smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that this matter was only decided this morning, but I didn't expect it to spread throughout the palace before noon. I think the Nan'an Palace has known about it for a long time."

Mo Yu understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that this matter was really related to Jia Min.

This shouldn't be the case. Jia Min is not the kind of person who is used to meddling in other people's affairs.

Isn't her personality the type of rational, calm, and sober person?

Mo Yu was a little confused, but Jia Min smiled as if she had done something wrong and explained, "Originally, I didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters. But your elder sister..."

Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Xiao Daiyu couldn't help it.

She sighed and took over the conversation: "Madam, it's hard to say, then let me tell it

." As she spoke, she recounted how Jia Yuanchun found her and her daughter that day and cried for help in front of them.

The logic is clear and easy to understand. Considering her age of only five years old, she is really an overly smart girl.

You know, many children of this age are still breastfeeding. Xiao Daiyu, who can do this, is indeed not an ordinary child.

What is it like to have an overly smart sister?

Of course it is very cool.

What if you add an overly smart mother?

That would be doubly cool.

So, Mo Yu only went home for a meal and dug up the whole story of Jia Yuanchun being betrothed to Prince Ping.

This melon is really explosive.

It turns out that Jia Yuanchun had planned it all long ago. Whether it was asking someone to see his cousin, or showing off in front of Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu, or even creating opportunities to meet the Empress Dowager and Master Kang, every step was calculated precisely, and she moved towards her goal step by step.

As for the Prince Ping, no matter whether he was thirteen or three years old, as long as it was beneficial to her, she would marry him.

This kind of character and intelligence is really worthy of being an excellent product cultivated by the old fox Jia's mother.

It's really not an exaggeration.

Mo Yu sighed and complained at the same time. By the time Xiao Daiyu finished her story, he had almost vented his emotions.

It was nothing, she was just tricked, it was a small matter.

Anyway, he was going to do a good deed every day, so he might as well do Jia Yuanchun a favor. Otherwise, this young lady would have to stay in the palace within ten years, which would be really pitiful.

Mo Yu thought so while drinking the remaining tea in his hand. He did not show any emotional breakdown, which surprised Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu.

After the mother and daughter looked at each other, they found the same doubt in each other's eyes, but they also vaguely guessed Mo Yu's thoughts - well, to be honest, it was not completely guessed.

It was mainly because of Mo Yu's inner voice function, which was really loud.

Emma, ​​Mo Yu's attack almost made Yuanchun suffer a complete defeat.

Fortunately, she was not there, otherwise she would have died on the spot.

It just so happened that Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu thought the same thing about this matter.

Yuanchun's nature wasn't really bad, and she wasn't deliberately trying to get her mother and daughter to help her, because as soon as she appeared in front of them, Jia Min and little Daiyu guessed it before she even opened her mouth - sometimes it's quite awkward to get along with smart people, and you don't even have to pretend, you feel helpless...

At first, when the mother and daughter saw Mo Yu suddenly come home and bring up Jia Yuanchun's marriage, they thought Mo Yu was going to blame them for meddling in other people's business, but Mo Yu didn't think it was a big deal, which made them feel a lot more relieved.

Especially Jia Min, she always felt that her precious son had become a different person since he recovered from his last illness. Although he was smart and capable, he always felt that he lacked some worldly touches, and he felt that he would fly away if she was not careful...

This was not her imagination.

In this world, there are still many people seeking immortality. You can often hear that someone's family has realized the truth and followed some master or monk to become a monk...

If their Mo Geer also wants to take this path, it will not work. She will cry to death. She must take precautions.

Jia Min made up her mind and began to pay special attention to Mo Yu's thoughts.

Fortunately, Mo Yu has the ability to express his inner voice, and he himself still seems to be in a state of ignorance - Jia Min will definitely seize such a good opportunity.

No matter what, she must hold on to this son tightly, and must not let him become a monk like those people.

Fortunately, her Mo Ge'er is different from those people, and he has not had this idea until now... It would be even better if he had to think about when he would die every time he had nothing to do...

But this kind of thing cannot be forced, all we can say is that the current state is pretty good, but don't think too much about other things.

Jia Min's worry is also Xiao Daiyu's worry.

Moreover, this little girl's original personality is intelligent, and she is also an extremely sensitive personality. She is extremely concerned about the mental state of her younger brother Mo Yu.

In this way, the mother and daughter reached a high degree of consensus on the issue of Mo Yu.

The general idea is to keep an eye on Mo Ge'er. Be good to him and meet all his needs.

If there are no needs, then create needs and meet them.

Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter made all kinds of preparations, but Mo Yu turned out to be a person with no desires...

This is very embarrassing.

It feels like a hero without a place to use his skills.

Fortunately, as Mo Yu grew older, this situation improved a lot.

He finally began to communicate his thoughts with them more often - although it is true that it is very nice to be able to listen to their inner voices directly, but they really prefer to talk and communicate with Mo Ge'er directly.

This is like a family.

Because of Mo Yu's return home this time, Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu were in a much better mood.

And because Mo Yu had spent some time to set up that medical school and insisted that the whole family go for a physical examination, their health has improved a lot.

As for the matter of Jia Min and Xiao Daiyu trying to make their presence felt in front of the Empress Dowager, Mo Yu also asked a few more questions.

After learning that they both knew their limits and tried their best to keep their favorability with the Empress Dowager within a reasonable range, Mo Yu was relieved.

Anyway, Jia Yuanchun's marriage is settled.

Not only did the Empress Dowager personally arrange the marriage, but Master Kang also nodded.

The decree will come down today, and when Master Kang returns from his western tour next month, they will be married.

Think about it, it will be almost the New Year by then, which means double happiness.

As for whether this marriage is too hasty and too rushed?

That's not the case.

Anyway, as long as Master Kang issues the imperial edict, no matter how difficult it is, it can be completed on schedule.

Moreover, it has been nearly two months, and almost everything can be prepared.

Of course, this is assuming everything goes well.

Will the Jia family let Yuanchun get married so obediently? After all, they have spent so much effort to train her. Now that the girl has grown up and has become independent, she wants to fly solo. Have they asked her family whether they are willing?

Mo Yu was a little worried about this, but Jia Min smiled and said, "If this girl doesn't even have this little ability, then we won't help her - Brother Mo, just wait and see, there will be excitement to watch."

Mo Yu said that he didn't really care about the Jia family's reaction, as long as it had nothing to do with their Lin family.

I hope Jia Yuanchun can handle it by herself.

Anyway, he will be accompanying the emperor on a tour soon, and there is no way he can see the final result.

Jia Min felt reluctant to let Mo Yu

go when she heard this. In fact, apart from serving in the palace this year, Mo Yu basically followed Master Kang on tours. He spent too little time at home. No wonder Jia Min felt reluctant to let him go.

But there is no way, this is just a job.

It would be great if she could retire early.

Mo Yu noticed that the atmosphere was a little sad, so he quickly told a few jokes, and finally he got over the stress.

Talking about the tour, he couldn't help but pack the things he needed to take with him.

Since the invention of down jackets, Jia Min has also equipped each member of the family with one. This time, it is winter when they are going to Xi'an, so they will definitely need them. They must bring some with them.

Besides, they can also bring some instant noodles to satisfy their hunger.

Jia Min was busy trying to help Mo Yu pack her luggage, but Xiao Daiyu smiled and said, "Madam, please don't be too busy. Mo Ge will not leave until next month, so it will be in time to pack then."

Jia Min smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since it has been decided, it's better to pack early to save trouble. How can you understand the heart of a mother? You will understand when you become a mother in the future."

Little Daiyu blushed immediately, and Mo Yu was speechless watching beside her, thinking: Madam, are you okay? Aren't you talking too early? Our little Daiyu is only six years old...

OK, just be happy.

Mo Yu rolled his eyes silently, preparing to take a nap so that he could go to school early tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he got a message from the palace in the afternoon, saying that the emperor had summoned him to the palace to see the emperor.
