Chapter 47: Shang Xi (18)

The Mo family made a fortune, to be precise, in the Republic of China. Although they have always advertised that they are big families from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, at that time, it was just a scholar's family.

In troubled times, some people are very good at seizing opportunities. The ancestors of the Mo family took advantage of the period of great social change to accumulate considerable wealth, and kept up with the times, sending their children to study abroad to learn the most advanced technology and knowledge, which became stronger and stronger, and could still stand tall in the stormy era.

You also know that when a person is too rich, he will try to make himself look more substantial. Some of this heritage is reflected in the cultural level, and some are inherited by inheritance.

In my generation, most of them were sent abroad to get diplomas at a young age. Even if the older generation is self-made, they now carry honorary degrees from several universities.

The same is true for a family, which can always dig up some so-called "heirlooms", regardless of which farmers in the ravine or vendors set up small stalls on the streets.

The Mo family, one of the "heirlooms" is a piece of clothing.

It was a woman's skirt gown, which you can understand as the dragon and phoenix gown in the popular Chinese wedding now.

I don't know from which day on, the Mo family got married, whether it was the daughter-in-law who married into the door, or the girl who married out, they were all proud to be able to wear that skirt.

The phoenix crown is beautiful, and the cloud shoulders are gorgeous.

But in fact, the ancestors of the Mo family did not have any achievements worth boasting about in the imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty, and the women did not have any honorable titles such as husbands and wives.

Anyway, that skirt appeared so inexplicably, and it was regarded as a symbol, a tradition.

Even many times, the family that is talking to the Mo family will put forward the skirt as one of the conditions. It seems that if it does not appear at the wedding, it means that the Mo family looks down on this in-laws.

Time passes, and the world changes.

Just like its appearance, the skirt disappeared again, and the Mo family's statement was that it was destroyed in the war.

In any case, the Mo family has not changed the tradition of sending children to study abroad, even during the war, there are still children of the Mo family in Europe and the United States.

Although the two sides almost broke off contact in the war-torn era, the Mo family's prosperity later benefited from this group of people.

It's like keeping the fire alive and waiting for the spring breeze to come again.

Old Man Mo's father, who was also in the United States during the war, met and fell in love with one of his college classmates there, this is Old Man Mo's biological mother.

However, unlike the son of the Mo family, this female international student is not from a wealthy family, but relies on work-study to support herself.

The two were not originally the same kind of people.

But at that time, the whole world was in flames, and no one knew what the outcome would be. Under this special historical background, people's emotions are prone to deviations, and they think that the temporary warmth of each other is to find the love of life.

Soon, Old Man Mo was born in the United States.

"Wow, then he's American?" Shi Xiaoai suddenly interrupted Cao Molan's narration.

"Hahaha, so it stands to reason. I can only say that he is absolutely Chinese now. ”

After the war, the Mo family successively sent many school-age students to various countries.

However, due to the long interval between the previous batch and the war, many businesses and relationships of the Mo family are gone, and everything has to start all over again.

Mr. Mo's father obeyed the family's arrangement and continued to stay in the United States to do some business for the family and take care of the younger generations who had just gone abroad.

But his mother insisted on returning to China and brought her young son with her.

After returning to China, she learned that her husband already had a family in China.

It's not that the Mo family can't accept her, especially when she also gave birth to a son to the Mo family.

However, it is unlikely that an intellectual woman who has received a modern education will be willing to be a little wife for others.

Moreover, the husband's original wife at that time already had a son and a daughter, and she was not young.

The director of the bear Byron Bear before TP was the son born to the original partner.

Shi Xiaoai suddenly felt that with the blessing of family blood, Byron's image was tall: "Wow, I feel that history has shone into reality." ”

"It is true that the family family is like this, and the family history accompanies the history of the country and the nation, which is heavy and heavy. ”

Originally, Old Man Mo lived with his mother, and occasionally went back to the Mo family to meet the elders, and the two sides were safe.

But once, when he came back from the Mo family, he wore a small dress over his shoulders, saying that it was turned out of the wardrobe of Mrs. Mo at that time, that is, his grandmother.

Her mother could tell at a glance that it was a cloud shoulder, very beautiful.

"Is that the skirt?" Shi Xiaoai asked in surprise.

Cao Molan nodded.

Old Man Mo's mother saw that there were gold and silver threads and jewels on it, so she planned to send it back the next day.

Unfortunately, something happened that night.

There was a thief in the house, and there was more than one person. After they turned out the cloud shoulder, they continued to search.

The strange thing is that the thief didn't care about any other money, and he wanted to find the clothes that matched the cloud shoulders, and they seemed to think that the whole skirt was here.

Toss all night, no matter how threatening, no is nothing.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the thief pushed open the window and threatened his mother by making the appearance that he was going to throw Old Man Mo out.

When the mother pounced and pushed, she fell directly from the window and downstairs.

The thieves did not expect such a disaster, so they quickly left the children and ran away.

"He saw his mother fall to her death?" Shi Xiaoai couldn't imagine.

"I guess so. ”

Old Man Mo was later taken back to the Mo family and raised by his grandmother herself.

His mother's funeral was also organized by the Mo family, and the funeral items included the skirt gown.

"The thief is from the Mo family?"

Cao Molan smiled: "I know you think so, many people think so. There have always been rumors in the Mo family, saying that the original partner thought that the skirt was in the hands of other women, and they were resentful and jealous. But the Mo family has never dealt with this matter publicly, including after Old Man Mo took power. ”

In the night tonight, many people are talking about Shi Xiaoai's last encounter at the cocktail party, although Cao Molan helped cover it up, but where there is an impermeable wall, there are always clues that someone can find.

There are also many people, many old people, who remembered this secret story of the Mo family back then.

Sitting in the car, Mo Youyou, who followed his father home, heard his father talk about this past for the first time.

She was shocked by her grandfather's tragic experience when she was young, and also asked the same question as Shi Xiaoai.

Mr. Mo replied to her like this: "I also asked your grandfather, and he told me that there is no evidence that it is the conspiracy of that person. I'm telling you this to answer your previous question - can Lin Li find out who is trying to frame his girlfriend. ”

"Dad, you're trying to say: Lin Li can't find out. The latest chapter of "Little Satisfaction and Big Happiness Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
