When Zhao Mo returned to his own home, he ordered someone to send Zhao Qi a few boxes of things loaded in the back car. And he himself went back to the room to briefly freshen up, changed into clothes, and then went to see Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the big boxes on the ground in a daze. The lid of the box had been lifted by the girl, revealing its contents. When Ma Meiniang asked people to pack up their belongings, they were probably in a hurry, and they were not carefully organized, so the items in it were a little messy, and it could only be said that they were reluctantly packed according to different types, and they were not neatly placed. Anyway, in front of Zhao Shuo, Ma Meiniang only needs to say "take the old jewelry and ask the craftsman to melt and beat the new one", or claim to reward people, she can confuse the whereabouts of these pieces of jewelry.

Zhao Mo walked in the door and glanced at Zhao Qi: "Are you warm enough to dress? ”

Zhao Qi shrunk his neck and whispered, "I've been dressed a lot, and the brazier is burning in the house, it's very warm." Then he paused, "Brother, where did these things come from?"

"Aunt Ma gave it. Zhao Mo said lightly, "Father gave all your aunt's things to Aunt Ma, and she packed all the things she didn't need and asked her to return them to you." Father doesn't know about this, so don't go around shouting about it. Aunt Ma is kind, don't get her in trouble. ”

Zhao Qi's eyes darkened, and he bowed his head in response.

Zhao Mo said again: "These things are not worth much silver, most of your aunt's private rooms are not here, my father doesn't agree, and I can't help you get them." But you don't have to worry, you are a child of the clan who was born on the jade, and the Zongren Mansion has money and food every year, so you won't be hungry. You are good at studying, don't go out to cause trouble, when you grow up, find a way to get an errand, and you can also set up another door, without looking at your father's face. My father has a bad temper, so you should see him less in the future. It was my mistake before, thinking that I would go to do things first, and when I went back to accompany my father after dinner, I could pick you up together, but I didn't expect that my father would not even let you stay at his house for a while. I won't force you to go to his place in the future, so you can stay with me in peace. You don't have to worry about your sister-in-law who hasn't passed through the door. She's a kind-hearted person and won't dislike you for anything. But you also have to be honest and don't cause trouble. If you do something outside, it's not your fault, I'll get justice for you, but if it's your fault, don't expect my brother to save you!"

After Zhao Mo said these words with a straight face, he got up to leave. Before he could go out, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, but Zhao Qi didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he ran over barefoot, whimpered and hugged his legs: "Brother, don't go, don't ignore me." I was wrong, I wasn't mad at you, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I was just scared ......"

Zhao Mo lowered his head and couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhao Qi kneeling on the ground hugging his legs, crying so red that his face was flushed. He lifted the back collar of Zhao Qi's clothes, pulled the person up, led him back to the bed, and sat back: "What are you crying about?

Zhao Qi choked up and said, "Father doesn't want me anymore...... My aunt is also dead...... My father also said that I was a sinful seed, why didn't I die with my aunt, he was about to have a new son, and he couldn't make me tired. I'm afraid my brother will dislike me too...... My aunt hurt my brother for me, and I know I'm guilty......"

Although these words were a little messy, Zhao Mo still understood it, and became more and more speechless about his father Zhao Shuo's words and deeds. He said to Zhao Qi with a calm face: "Don't think nonsense, if I dislike you, can I still keep you at home?" Don't care what my father says, when he doesn't like someone, he always wants the other party to die." But it's not like he won't change his mind. Do you think he used to like me very much, and what now? When he asks for me, doesn't he have to put on a fatherly face? It would be foolish to take it seriously. When you have a chance in the future, he will treat you kindly. I just hope that when the time comes, you won't fall for him, I really think he is sincere. ”

Zhao Qi sniffed, stretched out his little hand and wiped a handful of tears: "No...... I only believe in my brother, and no one is sincere to me except my brother!"

Zhao Mo smiled dumbly, and said with a straight face: "Nonsense, your sister-in-law is very good to you, and her family is also good." ”

Zhao Qi blinked, thinking that it was better not to talk back at this time, so he followed Zhao Mo's tone and said, "Brother is right." ”

Zhao Mo continued: "If you want to wear filial piety to your aunt, wear it at home." Father doesn't know, you don't have to worry about him scolding you. ”

Zhao Qi pursed his lips and whispered: "Father said, my aunt is not from our family, I am not allowed to wear filial piety, nor am I allowed to worship her tablet, saying that if he knows that I have violated his order, he will beat me to death." ”

Zhao Mo rolled his eyes: "Father can't take care of my business." You don't have to pay attention to him. ”

Zhao Qi still shook his head cautiously: "No, when my aunt is full of seventy-seven, I'll just go and incense her." In the future, I will only worship her on her sacrifice day, and forget it on weekdays. She wasn't just my aunt, she was an enemy with bad intentions towards Jokhang. I am a descendant of the Zhao family, and I can't worship her. Although filial piety is important, it is even more important. He didn't care much about Lan Xue's biological mother, he was raised by his father and sister-in-law since he was a child, and his biological mother always regarded him as a tool and didn't have much sincerity. He didn't say it on his lips, but he understood it very well in his heart, and now he is even more resentful of his biological mother. Worship Lan Xue and give her filial piety? His children's family is not happy.

Zhao Qi said so, and Zhao Mo didn't force it. Anyway, he didn't have a good impression of Lan Xue, but he just didn't want Zhao Qi to leave a pimple in his heart. He comforted Zhao Qi a few more words, and was about to leave, before leaving, he paused at his feet, and looked back at him: "Is your body good?" Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, but he hesitated a little: "Where are you going to go out for a walk?"

"On the fifth day of the first month of tomorrow, I went to the temple fair with the people from Yongjiahou Mansion and Chengenhou Mansion. Zhao Mo replied, "I originally wanted to take you with me, but because you were sick, I changed my mind." If you can get better tomorrow, you can go together. But don't worry, you can't go tomorrow, it's a big deal to go in the future. In the New Year, there are many temple fairs in the capital, and if you miss this time, there will be the next one. I really can't catch up, and there is a lantern festival for the Lantern Festival. ”

Zhao Qi was moved, he wanted to go very much, but he still had scruples in his heart: "I...... I used to want to go to the temple fair, but my aunt and nurses always said that some people would abduct children at the temple fair, and I was not allowed to go out......"

Zhao Mo smiled: "It's okay, there are a lot of us, let people carry you away, and bring a few more entourages, and surround you, what are you afraid of?" Last year, I and the people of the Qin family walked like this, and after visiting the temple fair, we also went to Fanzhuangzi for a meal, and after playing for most of the day, I went home and bought a lot of interesting little things. Your sister-in-law also painted a picture, and the one hanging in my study is it. ”

Zhao Qi hurriedly asked: "It's my brother who said, there are two of them, one is framed, and the other is going to go to the master to learn framing, and then frame the temple fair painting himself?

Zhao Mo touched his nose, and his ears were a little red: "Ah...... That's it. Your sister-in-law doesn't know about this, so don't tell her. ”

Zhao Qi responded vividly, and repeatedly promised: "My illness has been cured, Ming'er will definitely be able to go out with my brother, and my brother will definitely take me with you." ”

Zhao Mo glanced at him: "Okay, Ming'er dress warmer, ask the girl to bring you a stove and a hat, a hand cover, a cloak or something, if the wind blows on the road, how can you have fun?"

Zhao Qi happily agreed. Seeing him like this, Zhao Mo was in a much better mood and left with a smile.

As soon as he left, the smile on Zhao Qi's face disappeared, he looked down at the boxes again, pursed his lips, and called a few girls over: "Sort out these boxes, put moth-proof incense, and lock them up." ”

The girls were a little puzzled: "Third master, there is some silver here, and there are jewelry that can be exchanged for money, even if it is old clothes, they are all made of good materials." Close-fitting clothes are just enough, and those new clothes that have not been worn much can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver if they are taken out as pawns. Although the prince of the county has subsidized your pocket money, he has more money on hand, and it is more convenient to walk outside. Do you really want to lock everything up?"

"Lock it up. Zhao Qi said categorically, "I have a brother, so I don't need these things." Maybe sometime, these things will come in handy. ”

The girls didn't understand what he meant, but they did as they were told. However, they only lifted two boxes to be moved, Zhao Qi stopped them again, ran to the side of the box with his shoes at home, and took out a large bag of things from inside, but it was a few books and booklets wrapped in an old piece of clothing. Zhao Qi took the bag of books, ran back to the bed, and instructed the girls: "Continue to clean up, if you come across something like books and paper, but anything with words or patterns, bring it to me." ”

The girls responded, cooperated in pairs, and left Zhao Qi's bedroom with a few boxes in several times. Zhao Qi looked down at the booklets, remembering that he had once bumped into his biological mother avoiding Zhu'er and them, secretly fiddling with a booklet in the room, and the cover seemed to be somewhat similar to a few of these books.

Although I don't know why these things were not taken away by the government, my brother didn't find out, but sent them to him. But he thought that if he could discover the secret, maybe ...... Those who found him the day before yesterday could no longer be arrogant in front of him.
