Chapter 424: I Can’t Stay Even If I Want
When He Zhiran was free recently, he had already purchased Mo Hanyue's dowry in the mall.
My parents gave me a courtyard house. Although it is in the countryside, not everyone can live in this kind of house, especially with some modern-style facilities.
For example, flush toilets, floor heating and glass windows, beautiful and practical furniture, etc.
In addition, the few acres of medicinal fields that Mo Hanyue planted herself were also given to her as a dowry.
He Zhiran was also very thoughtful. The bed in the courtyard house that she gave as a dowry to Mo Hanyue was fully equipped with all the necessary bedding.
And the fabrics are all produced in Taobao Mall.
Silk in ancient times was very rare and expensive.
It was different in Taobao Mall. There was a wide variety of antique-style silk fabrics. She picked out some that matched the style of the era and bought some. Cotton for making bedding was also essential.
Not long ago, He Zhiran bought these and sent them to his eldest sister-in-law, asking her to bring a few sisters-in-law to help make bedding for the wedding.
Of course, such beautiful fabric naturally received praise from the sisters-in-law, but no one was too surprised.
When they were in the capital, cloth shops would occasionally sell such high-end goods, but the prices were very expensive and ordinary people could not afford them at all.
The sisters-in-law were already accustomed to the generosity and unexpectedness of the ninth sister-in-law. When they saw her take out so much fabric to make bedding for Mo Hanyue's new house, they were only envious for a moment.
The Mo family's only daughter is getting married, and bedding alone is not enough. The little girl has been hiding in her room embroidering her wedding dress recently, saving He Zhiran the trouble of making arrangements.
But jewelry is also essential.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. In ancient times, the jewelry of women in wealthy families was mostly made of gold and silver. Those with better craftsmanship would have some gems added as embellishments.
There are many such jewelry on Taobao, and both the style and craftsmanship are much better than those of this era.
According to He Zhiran's aesthetic taste, she doesn't like this.
However, she followed the local customs and the dowry she gave to Mo Hanyue could not be too unconventional.
He Zhiran had already prepared all these, waiting for Mo Jiuye to have time to pretend to go to the city or the provincial capital. She would give these jewelry to Mo Jiuye as if he had bought them.
After waiting for two days, Mo Jiuye brought back good news and was finally no longer busy.
The good news is that the iron sheet and iron beads were successfully made. My fourth brother and father personally wrapped the iron sheet tightly around the bamboo tube.
Fifth Brother and his friends made several experimental bombs using bamboo tubes wrapped in iron sheets, and the effects were better than expected.
The experiment was conducted on a mountain, and a few birds happened to be passing by. When the bomb exploded, even the birds were not spared.
With such power, how could the enemy possibly gain any advantage from them?
Seeing the power of the bomb, the brothers became very motivated and made dozens of bombs using the same method that day.
They were fast, so Mo Qing and Mo Xiuyan didn't dare to delay even a moment. They got up early every day and started making bamboo tubes.
Unconsciously, both of them felt as if their bodies had regained a lot of strength.
Especially Mo Xiuyan, after his hand tendons were reconnected by He Zhiran, he has never dared to exert himself too much.
Now I don’t even feel it’s difficult to wrap iron sheets on bamboo tubes.
Especially when they think about how they can contribute to the family, the father and son can be said to enjoy doing it when they are busy.
Seeing that the bomb-making work was gradually getting on track, Mo Jiuye got up early one day and drove a carriage into the city with the dowry jewelry and other items that He Zhiran had prepared for Mo Hanyue.
He went to the city this time ostensibly to help his sister buy dowry, but in fact he had another important thing to do.
That means he plans to visit Meng Huaining.
Because Meng Huaining has been too busy arranging his wedding recently, he hasn't visited for a long time.
This silly boy didn't even know that his future father-in-law had returned, otherwise, how could he have been so rude?
That was his future father-in-law, and he actually missed the best opportunity to show up.
In fact, Mo Qing was stubborn. He felt very uncomfortable when he learned that his beloved daughter was going to get married soon.
The girl who was raised in his palm since childhood is now of marriageable age. To be honest, Mo Hanyue has been deprived of fatherly love for so many years, which makes Mo Qing feel guilty.
Especially since Mo Qing had lost all his memories of the past eight years. In his impression, his precious daughter was still a well-behaved and lovely little girl. Why was she going to get married as soon as he returned home?
This was a fact that Mo Xing was unwilling to accept from the bottom of his heart. However, he had to accept it. After all, it has been a truth since ancient times that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough.
The girl had reached marriageable age, and he couldn't keep her even if he wanted to.
Although Mo Qing understood these principles, he still felt uncomfortable and didn't want to see the man who kidnapped his precious daughter.
Therefore, he specifically told Mo Chuhan not to reveal the news of his return to the Mo family to Meng Huaining when he took office.
He wanted to wait for the guy who kidnapped his precious daughter to come to his house and then take him by surprise.
Mo Jiuye went to find Meng Huaining mainly because he was worried about the situation in the capital. Naturally, he had to follow his father's wishes and not tell anyone the news of his old man's return.
Xiaobai went to the capital to deliver a letter and has been away for more than ten days. Logically, it should have delivered the letter long ago.
If Emperor Shunwu successfully finds a master at raising Gu, Fei Nanyu will ask Xiaobai to come back and deliver the message as soon as he gets the news.
But Xiaobai never came back, and Mo Jiuye was worried that General Jin’s body could not hold on.
Thinking that Meng Huaining had contacts with Fei Nanyu, he hoped to get some news about the capital from him.
Mo Jiuye arrived at a very coincidental moment. Meng Huaining had just finished hearing a case and was leaving the courtroom, and was walking out of the courtroom.
"Brother Jiu, when did you come?" Seeing Mo Jiuye, Meng Huaining's face changed from its usual seriousness, and he walked up to him with a smile.
Mo Jiuye threw his horse onto the wooden stake at the entrance of the yamen. Facing his future brother-in-law, he didn't intend to beat around the bush.
"I came here to ask Brother Meng about something."
Meng Huaining knew that Mo Jiuye was the busiest member of the Mo family, and he would never come to see him if he had nothing to do. He quickly made a gesture of invitation and took him to the study room where he worked.
After not seeing each other for a while, Mo Jiuye found that Meng Huaining looked much more haggard.
"Brother Meng looks thinner?"
He was not a person who liked gossip, but he was concerned because Meng Huaining was noticeably thinner.
Being cared for by his future brother-in-law, Meng Huaining's face turned pale.
He smiled a little embarrassedly: "I've just been a little busy recently."
When he said he was busy, Mo Jiuye had no doubt about it. As a senior official, especially one as honest as Meng Huaining, he must have a lot of trivial matters to deal with every day.
In addition, his wedding to his sister is approaching, so it is understandable that he is busy.
