Zhao Suqin had a very good impression of Shen Mingxi.
So even through the phone line, one could feel Zhao Suqin's surging kindness and enthusiasm.
The two of them were familiar with each other, so there was no need to be reserved when talking.
Before this, although they were thousands of miles apart, the two families sent each other New Year gifts, including gifts for Shen Mingxi, Chen Liyaya and Su Xiaojuan. They also told Shen Mingxi that her second brother Qingshan was now with Feng Anze, and was said to be receiving special training under him.
There are only two days of holiday for the New Year, and I probably won’t be able to go back to Yuncheng. But don’t worry, Shen Mingxi, she is here, and she is familiar with Xiaowu and Qingshan, so she will spend the New Year in Beijing.
She shouldn't have told Shen Mingxi about this, but isn't there nothing to talk about? And what she said was the truth, but she should have told Chen Li or Shen Yu. But there was no way, this was the only daughter-in-law she could hold on to, and she couldn't let go.
Shen Mingxi really didn't know about this. Her voice was clear and sweet, like a young girl's. "Aunt Zhao, thank you for your help. I'll tell my dad and mom when I get back so they can rest assured."
Zhao Suqin on the other side smiled happily, "Xiaoxi, our Feng family and the Shen family have been related for many years. Xiaowu's father and your grandfather are close friends regardless of age. Don't be so polite to your aunt..." Then she changed the topic and said gently, "Xiaoxi, you are not idle at home during the holidays. You have to help your mother with housework and study. I heard that you have to go to the library to help Xiaowu find information. You are a good child, but don't work too hard..."
Her voice is gentle and sounds particularly comfortable. I have to say that Zhao Suqin is a person who is very good at talking and chatting. If she really wants to be nice to someone, you can't refuse her.
No wonder such a bizarre life and all these ups and downs have kept Feng Fan in mind for decades.
However, Shen Mingxi did not comment on this. This was a matter of the previous generation. But when her eyes swept across the pile of somewhat old papers, a thought arose in her mind that those papers were found by her grandfather some time ago.
The author of the poems is Mo Yunyan, whose pen name is Yun Mo. She is also the daughter of the Mo family. It was these poems that moved her grandfather, so of course he treasured these things and preserved them.
He took back all the works that were placed in the poetry club back then for selfish reasons, without leaving a single one. Now he has dug out all of them, forming a thick pile.
Shen Mingxi blinked his eyes. This could be published as a book. But if it was published, would Mo Yunyan come to him after seeing it? However, this thought was fleeting. At present, it was more important to provide Zhao Suqin with some clues.
Under the laws of nature, there are thousands of changes and some things that remain unchanged. Although human hearts are unpredictable, once you have promised something, you cannot go back on your word.
Zhao Suqin must solve the Yun Mo issue personally.
Today is a good opportunity, so Shen Mingxi spoke with a smile.
"It's okay, Auntie. I've been free for the past few days. I've been reading some poems in Grandpa's study. They are said to be the works of members of the poetry club when Grandpa was young..."
Zhao Suqin was very happy. She liked Shen Mingxi talking to her about family matters like this. It proved that Shen Mingxi was close to her. Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult to handle. She didn't want to be a bad mother-in-law. She hoped that the daughter-in-law she married would be similar to her own daughter.
Zhao Suqin agreed, "That must have been many years ago. The poems of that era are very characteristic of the times. It would be good to read more of them..."
"Yes, Aunt Zhao, I saw a poem written by a member of the poetry club yesterday. It was really amazing. Her pen name is also very nice, Yun Mo."
Zhao Suqin on the other end of the phone suddenly clenched the microphone, her heart beating wildly.
Cloud ink!
No matter which word is Yun or Mo, as long as they have the same pronunciation, it seems like a thunderclap to Zhao Suqin, and her breathing becomes a little rapid.
Before Shen Mingxi could continue, Zhao Suqin seemed to calm down and asked casually, "Xiaoxi, it sounds like she is a very talented person. I don't know if she is a man or a woman. By the way, which one is Yun and which one is Mo?"
"I heard from my grandfather that this was written by a girl. The word 'yun' means 'yunduo', and the word 'mo' means 'ink'..."
They all matched.
"Do you know how old Xiaoxi was when she wrote this poem?"
"I heard from my grandfather that he was about fourteen or fifteen years old..."
Zhao Suqin quickly converted it and was surprised to find that the age was right.
And the name is exactly the same. Is this a coincidence?
She was full of questions, but she couldn't rush to scare Xiaoxi, so she had to calm herself down little by little, and then said slowly, "...a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with such high talent, her parents must have enlightened her since she was young."
Shen Mingxi on the other end, although a little embarrassed, had to cooperate with Zhao Suqin and continue talking. However, it must be said that Zhao Suqin's questions were not nonsense.
"Yes, Aunt Zhao, I heard from Grandpa that the girl with the pen name Yun Mo was from the Mo family in Yuncheng. Her name is also very nice, Mo Yunyan."
Zhao Suqin had an impression of the Mo family in Yuncheng. When she led an archaeological team, she had been to Yuncheng and had contact with the Mo family.
I also know that the Mo family is a scholarly family, and I also know that someone in the Mo family is the president of Yuncheng Normal University.
I just don’t know if this Mo family is the same Mo family?
"I heard from your uncle Feng that someone from the Mo family is the president of a normal university. Is that the Mo family?"
Shen Mingxi couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart. Although these big families are now in name only, you have to admire their background. They have remembered some news and information in their hearts. It is obvious that Zhao Suqin knew these because Feng Fan told her.
"Aunt Zhao, you are right. It is the Mo family. I heard this from my grandfather. Actually, our family and the Mo family can be considered relatives..."
Zhao Suqin on the other side was stunned and asked quickly, "What do you mean?"
She really didn't know this.
Shen Mingxi didn't want to hide this from Zhao Suqin. If she investigated the Mo family, she would definitely know about Luo Aofu's relationship.
"My grandmother's sixth aunt married the youngest son of the Mo family. They had only one daughter, who was also my grandmother's cousin. She was Mo Yunyan. However, Mo Yunyan ran away from home when she was a teenager and her whereabouts are still unknown. Although there is this relationship, no one has ever mentioned it, and they have no contact with the Mo family, including the Luo family."
