Chapter 197: Strange Flowers, Layout from Yan Kingdom?
"Sister Ling, let you tell me about the preferences of the ladies in the palace, why did you talk about this. Chen Ya'er blushed, there are all young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet, and it is indeed a little inconvenient to talk about this.
It's just that Ling Rui'er was deflated in front of Mo Xuetong a few times today, and she only felt that she had to show off in front of her, and she pressed Mo Xuetong well, and said proudly at the moment: "In the past few days, the lady in the palace is now all concerned about this matter, not only for the emperor's election, but also for several princes, my aunt has been busy and dizzy these days, and when she saw me, she also asked me to see if there was a suitable one, I saw that a few of the people here were good enough and beautiful, but they were not the best candidates, so I told my aunt to go when I saw Ming'er." ”
When she said this, most of the young ladies blushed.
"Sister Ling is mixed up again, what does the matter in this palace have to do with us. You Yue'e said with a red face.
"It doesn't matter what, my aunt said, all the daughters of officials above the fifth grade, who have reached the age of thirteen, who are under the age of seventeen, and who have excellent morals, must run for election, and I think most of them are here. Ling Rui'er glanced at Mo Xuetong defiantly, "It's just that some people are lacking in morality, and my aunt will definitely brush her down early, which will save her from being embarrassed when she enters the palace." ”
This is an irony that Mo Xuetong will not be selected.
She is like that, as if she chooses a concubine for the prince and the emperor, and the final decision is in her hands.
Mo Xuetong didn't want to care about this kind of flying vinegar, so she didn't want to deal with her, she had heard too much cynicism in her previous life, and this level of listening had no effect in her ears.
"No, it's going to be a general election. Shen Xianxiu's eyes widened and she said puzzledly, "Didn't you say that Jinshang once said that you wouldn't work hard and lose money in this regard?"
"This is not a waste of money and labor, and the scope is not large, and the most important thing is to choose the main concubine for the three princes, the side concubine, my aunt said that there is no serious master in the palace of the three princes, and this time we must choose well. Ling Rui'er did not leave the word "aunt" in every sentence, although she spoke to the full house, her eyes glanced at Mo Xuetong's side, showing off the elements of showing off.
They all talked shyly and timidly around the matter of the prince's choice of concubine.
Mo Xuetong stopped talking, and only said a few words to Luo Mingzhu, such a small group in the boudoir is actually not abrupt, and it is strange that several people who are obviously-for-tat are being pulled together, and there is no shortage of the four major dukes, and the coordination among the daughters of the first assistant is completely different from the feeling of a different kind of small political group.
Just like Wang Xiuxiu deliberately provoked Ling Rui'er to talk about this draft, on the surface, she was just guessing who would enter each palace, but the words faintly revealed the meaning of the prince's most holy heart, Wang Xiuxiu let them get together really just for gossip!
Mo Xuetong is secretly watching!
The maid in front of this banquet came and claimed that the ladies of the various provinces urged them to return home.
Mo Xuetong accompanied Luo Mingzhu to send her to the gate of the courtyard, and she didn't send her out again, this is the Fuguo Mansion, she can't be regarded as the master.
Ling Rui'er raised her head and didn't look at her, You Yue'e still held hands with Chen Ya'er, Chen Ya'er seemed to want to say a few words to her, but was pulled away by You Yue'e, Shen Xianxiu said goodbye to her politely, and Wang Xiuxiu booked a date with her to drink peach blossom brew together on her birthday.
Mo Xuetong took Mo Yu to the courtyard where she was in Fuguo Gong last time, and Luo Mingzhu couldn't come back for a while, so she simply went back to the courtyard to rest first.
Before he sat down in his yard, before Moyu could bring the tea, Luo Wenyou hurriedly came in.
He was still holding the pot of jade owl flowers in his hand!
"Cousin Hitomi, do you know this flower?" Luo Wenyou entered the door and put the flowers on the coffee table, wiped his sweat and asked, he only brought a small maid into the door, and he was afraid that the little maid would break the flower, so he simply carried it in by himself.
Luo Wenyou's visit was not an accident, Mo Xuetong calculated that as long as Luo Mingzhu told Luo Wenyou about something, Luo Wenyou's style would definitely pay attention to it.
"Big cousin, I don't know if it's this kind of flower. Mo Xuetong stood up and walked to the flowers, the still delicate three-color flowers, the beauty was so unreal, the flower pot was full of broken jade, when he stretched out his hand to take a closer look, he found that the crumbs of those jade were extremely delicate, but even so, why did Sima Lingyun think that this was the evidence of the Fuguo Mansion's collaboration with the enemy!
"This kind of flower should be called the jade owl flower, growing in the jade detritus, absorbing the jade quality and born, blooming regardless of the season, only beautiful and dazzling, often a plant blooms different colors, it is tempting, it is said that this peanut land is very suitable and hard to find, often born in the center of the jade vein. ”
"Cousin Hitomi, but you see it?" Luo Wenyou's face changed greatly.
How much is the value of a jade vein, no one can predict, if he thought it was just a strange flower and a different grass, and the scarcity is expensive, but now he found out that there is such a large financial strength, and the power can keep the jade vein, how can it be described as "rich and rival the country", and the only power of the country can do.
"Big cousin, it should be it, I have seen in a book of strange stories, jade as food, naturally formed plants in chalcedony, do not change by the four seasons, but I don't know what kind of friend the eldest cousin can send such a flower of the country?" Mo Xuetong's expression became serious, and he stroked the leaves of the flower, and sure enough, even the leaves seemed to be a beautiful jade.
This kind of flower is worthy of the country, and it can only be preserved with the power of the country!
"It's a rich businessman who just came to Kyoto, because of an occasional opportunity, he did him a big favor, I heard that he saved hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so he sent this pot of flowers, only said that it was a plaything, I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just thought it was a rare thing, so I took it to my grandmother to play with it, thinking that no matter how precious the plaything was, it couldn't be expensive, but it turned out to be ......" Luo Wenyou completely believed Mo Xuetong's words at this time, patted his head and regretted it.
"Big cousin, can you still find this person now?" Mo Xuetong frowned unconsciously, her fingers were dotted on the jade and the crumbs, and her eyes looked coldly at the legendary pot of famous flowers that should not exist in front of her, who spent a lot of effort to deal with the Fuguo Mansion, or who would be most beneficial if the Fuguo Mansion fell......
"That person left this morning, and I went to see him off in the morning," Luo Wenyou stomped his foot, "I just sent someone to check where he stayed, but there was no clue." ”
This is also the reason why Luo Wenyou hurriedly came to ask Mo Xuetong.
Mo Xuetong's eyebrows wrinkled slightly for a while, biting her lips, very tangled, this potted flower is indeed a misfortune now, it is not destroyed, it is not destroyed.
After appreciating this flower so flamboyantly today, the powerful people in the capital must know that there is such a pot of flowers in the Fuguo Mansion, if it is destroyed, it will only end up more empty-hearted, and it will attract tongues in vain, and if this matter is made out in the future, ruining it is equivalent to acquiescing, and sometimes the evidence of the crime does not necessarily require testimony.
"Big cousin, you check it carefully, since that person appeared as a wealthy businessman, and he only left today, it is impossible to disappear without a trace, there must be something missing, you can check what your cousin helped him with, why did he help, what are the traces of man-made here?" Mo Xuetong didn't know much about these aspects, but tried his best to give Luo Wenyou ideas as much as he thought.
Such a large group of people, far from their center of gravity, no matter how hidden they are, there must be traces.
If this incident broke out after four years, the Fuguo Mansion would naturally have nothing to say, and it would be impossible to find any more clues.
But now it's just discovered, Mo Xuetong doesn't believe that there is no trace at all.
A sentence reminded Luo Wenyou, his eyes lit up, he nodded and stood up violently: "What Cousin Hitomi said is very true, I'll check the batch of jewelry he sold." ”
After saying that, he didn't care about the pot of flowers, and hurriedly went out!
"Big cousin, wait a minute, you must have been in contact with that person for a while, do you think he has some Yan country accent?" Mo Xuetong intuitively felt that those people were from Yan State, and there was no reason to say anything, the countries around Great Qin, there was only one Yan Country that had the ability to compete with Qin State.
Is it what Bai Yihao wants to do? Mo Xuetong didn't know, but he didn't seem to have any benefit to him except for the Auxiliary State Mansion, the Auxiliary Kingdom Mansion among the four major Princes was not a descendant, and it would not interfere with the imperial power, it was not a big power, if it was to be removed, it would be to remove the Dingguo Mansion!
In her previous life, she stayed away from politics and was only trapped in the Zhenguo Mansion, never thinking about these issues, and only paid a little attention to Bai Yihao when he flew into the sky, but the distance between the two people was too far away to never intersect. The only few intersections in this life, Bai Yihao did not feel bad for her, except for always warning herself to be vigilant in her heart, she did not find any changes in Bai Yihao.
"Cousin Tong thinks it's from Yan Kingdom?" Luo Wenyou paused, and his face changed.
"Big cousin, you can ask Bai Gongzi about this flower ......" Mo Xuetong bit her lip, but she still couldn't help but say, her heart moved inexplicably.
"Okay, I'll visit Bai Gongzi in a while. Luo Wenyou nodded, turned around and hurried out of the courtyard.
Not long after Luo Wenyou left, Luo Mingzhu also came over, Mo Xuetong went with her to say goodbye to the old lady, the old lady asked her body with concern, let her recuperate more, and take care of her body first, Mo Xuetong took the old lady's hand and got close, and then took the depressed Mo Xueyan back to Mofu.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the mansion, Mo Xueyan didn't say hello to Mo Xuetong, and walked in angrily with her maid ring.
"Miss, second miss......" Mo Yu was angry and pointed at Mo Xueyan, only feeling speechless for a while.
She almost made a big deal in the Fuguo Mansion, she was good, she didn't blame her for treating her slowly, this would put all the fire on her own miss, and she wouldn't have to arrange Miss in front of the old lady for a while, the old lady was already dissatisfied with the miss, and after listening to her words, she had to make her nose more nose and face not face.
"Moyu, take the satin that my grandmother gave me, take a few and send it to my grandmother, don't give it to the eldest sister, the second sister, the fourth sister, the two bright ones, and give one to the two aunts. Mo Xuetong said to Mo Yu with a smile as she walked inside.
"Miss, you always think about them, see what they do to you!" Mo Yu muttered, feeling sorry for her own young lady.
"Okay, it's a big deal, it's a big New Year, it's happy, and I'll give my grandmother a share of the sachets, trinkets, and juan flowers that I gave to each person in the yard. Mo Xue's long eyelashes flashed, and a smile appeared on her face.
It's time for the people in their yards to clean up.
