Chapter Thirty-Nine: Backhand Strategy, One More Move
Sure enough, before the evening, Mo Huawen came over in person and brought an invitation to the flower-viewing banquet.
"Why is Hitomi so careless, pull the invitation in the garden, if it wasn't for the next person to pick it up and hand it over, I'm afraid Hitomi won't even be able to go to the annual flower viewing banquet, let the girls do the embroidery work, don't burn your eyes. Seeing Mo Xuetong sitting quietly embroidering under the window, Mo Huawen showed a kind smile and put the invitation in his hand in front of Mo Xuetong.
"Father, where did you find it, my grandmother told me that the flower viewing banquet in the palace was about to start, and she sent a special message to me to make clothes, Hitomi still wondered why she hadn't received the invitation until now, didn't she say that tomorrow was the day of the banquet?" Mo Xuetong's eyes lit up and stood up.
"You didn't receive it before?" Mo Huawen frowned, "It's ...... to make clothes now."
"Yes, but it doesn't matter, father, Tong'er has already asked Aunt Mo to help make clothes, so father doesn't have to worry about Tong'er not having clothes to attend the banquet. The water eyes blinked slyly, looking a little proud, and the palm-sized little face was distressed.
"When did you ask Aunt Mo to make clothes? Aunt Mo said that she hadn't heard that you were going to make clothes, was it confused? Mo Huawen asked, he was going to come over to ask about it, but what he didn't expect was that he picked up an invitation card in the garden, and when he heard Mo Xuetong say this, he was even more suspicious in his heart.
"No, after Tong'er received her grandmother's letter, she was going to ask Mo Lan to tell Aunt Mo, it happened that Mo Jin from the eldest sister's house came over, and Mo Jin said that she would help me bring a message to Aunt Mo on the way, could it be that Mo Jin forgot it, what should I do, father, tomorrow is the day of the flower feast, what should Hitomi wear?"
Daqin and his children are not really required to not appear in court for three years on the way to keep filial piety for their relatives, some simple entertainment is still okay, this banquet is Mo Xuetong's first public appearance after returning to Beijing, Xu Lao Taijun is afraid that the people in Mofu are not satisfied, and today I specially wrote to tell Mo Xuetong that she had prepared a simple and fitting dress for her, and asked her to send someone to get it, but Mo Xuetong would not tell Mo Huawen about this now.
Seeing that his daughter's clear eyes were full of grievances and pouting in annoyance, Mo Huawen hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, my father will find a way for you." After speaking, he nodded her forehead: "Look at this little face bulging, if you drum again, it will be a little frog, not beautiful." ”
"Father......" Mo Xue said coquettishly, stroking her forehead.
Mo Huawen comforted Mo Xuetong a few more words, and when she was dragged by Mo Xuetong to sit down to drink tea, her face sank unconsciously, and Aunt Mo was also aggrieved to tell Mo Xuemin's gorgeous dress that she had been busy with in the sewing room for the past few days, which showed that she had not forgotten the eldest lady, how could she deliberately forget the third lady.
The matter of Pupil was supported by the people around Min'er, but the person who went did not say that Hitomi wanted clothes, but said Min'er, he would definitely check it later, and see when Min'er was going to wear new clothes, as well as the invitation card that he picked up in the garden, and Mo Huawen keenly felt that there was something here.
As for the clothes, you can only choose people outside to customize, although it is said that the time of a night is a little tighter, but fortunately, it is not night, and the famous Jinyi Pavilion people in the capital will be called, and help Tong'er measure it, and if you rush to work overnight, you should be able to drive it out.
Just thinking about the door curtain lifted, Mo Yu came in, holding a tray in his hand, with a neat set of clothes on it, and bowed to Mo Huawen, and stood aside with a smile after shouting, and did not speak.
"Where did Moyu get this clothes, but the third lady's?" Mo Huawen's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile, his eyes fell on the tray on the side, and the clothes that flashed with light silk embroidery were clearly a set of women's dresses.
"The lord is the lady's clothes, which were sent by the Fuguo Mansion just now, I am afraid that the lady will be short of clothes tomorrow, so I specially sent someone over, and the old lady not only sent the clothes, but also sent a whole set of heads. Mo Yu smiled happily.
Mo Huawen's face was dark, and there was a sense of powerlessness and frustration that he was punched and wanted to return but hit the cotton flower, what is this called, his own daughter wanted to go to the palace to attend a banquet, but she had no clothes, and she had to find a foreign family to make clothes and send them, which made the Mo family lose face.
But he couldn't say what he didn't want, Tong'er did not have the clothes to participate in the banquet, but Min'er, who was not qualified to participate in the banquet on the other side, made a set of gorgeous clothes, which made Mo Huawen not have a black face, and watched his daughter's shining eyes fall on the clothes, showing a happy look, which added a little sadness.
Asked softly, "Hitomi likes it!"
Nodding vigorously, Mo Xue's eyes smiled, and she pulled Mo Huawen to look at the set of clothes together, but when she saw that Mo Huawen's face was not depressed, she stopped obediently, and smiled coquettishly: "Father didn't know that Tong'er hadn't made clothes yet, so Tong'er would wear this set from her grandmother tomorrow, and next time her father helped Tong'er make clothes, Tong'er will wear what her father gave to Tong'er." ”
She looked like a little daughter who didn't mind, which made Mo Huawen feel very distressed.
I haven't seen her for more than a year, my daughter is getting more and more well-behaved, I know that he doesn't like it in my heart, and I will comfort him, a little girl, he left it in Cloud City and ignored it, she must have suffered a lot, otherwise why would she become so pampered and pampered, so sensible.
But even so, those clear eyes revealed clear kindness and childish cuteness, obviously this matter was wronged by someone, but she was generous not to pursue it at all, and came to comfort herself, how did this not make Mo Huawen not distressed, and felt more and more that she couldn't be wronged and became a sensible and caring daughter.
Stretched out his hand and couldn't help but rub her hair again, and said with a smile: "Okay, in two days, my father will call someone from Jinxiu Pavilion to help you make a few sets of clothes, look, you are still wearing these clothes, you have been so plain, look at your eldest sister, and then look at you, where is it like a young lady, but like a little girl!"
"Father, other people's hair has messed up for you!" Mo Fa Hitomi complained with a snort, turned his eyes around, and said with a smile: "Hitomi is not as good as the eldest sister, the eldest sister is beautiful and smart, sensible, filial to her father, how can it be like Hitomi is a stupid girl who doesn't understand anything, isn't it just like a little girl, look at the father still messed up Hitomi's hair so much, isn't this even more stupid girl!"
This time, without waiting for her to finish, Mo Huawen nodded her forehead with a smile and said: "You are a silly girl, aren't you your father's silly girl, and you are also the most caring and sensible silly girl from your father!"
"No, the eldest sister is!" Mo Xue said coquettishly as she pulled Mo Huawen.
"Oh, are we jealous of Hitomi?" Looking at the delicate and lovely Mo Xue Hitomi, and seeing her daughter so close to herself, she had already disappeared outside the Jiuxiao Cloud because of the unhappiness of the clothes sent by Mrs. Xu, as long as Hitomi likes it, I will go and warn Aunt Mo in a while, next time let her pay more attention to Pupil's side, what is good, hold on to Hitomi first.
Fuharu-in
Mo Xuemin reclined on the couch, her body has always been good, she knows the illness she has made, and she will be fine the next day, but she still hasn't gone out, she still pretends to be sick in bed, after Aunt Fang is locked up, she will deal with some things by herself, including Mo Xuetong's invitation.
Hearing that Mo Huawen really picked up the invitation card and went to Qingwei Garden, Mo Xuemin's bright face suddenly showed ridicule, and looked at Aunt Fang, who was sitting next to her, who was obviously locked up, and sneered meanly: "Auntie didn't say that that little slut will definitely not be able to go! How can she still go tomorrow! Father still sent her the invitation card well? Auntie used to always say how good she was, but she was repeatedly defeated by a yellow-haired girl who was only thirteen years old. ”
The corners of her eyes are half delicate, and her momentum is more than that of Aunt Fang, and her eyebrows are full of ice edges, squinting at Aunt Fang, looking down on her.
"That little slut was too cunning to pull this thing up on purpose, and I was careless in her game. Aunt Fang also had a headache, listening to her daughter's ridiculed words, she was really a little ashamed, she was locked up for a few days, even if there was no disadvantage in food and clothing, the whole person still didn't look very good, only a few days later, there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she looked several years old.
She looks like this, Mo Xuemin really can't look down on her, and she is too lazy to pretend to be weak in front of her.
"It's my aunt who is too anxious, as soon as this slut comes back, you can't wait to do it, rush me to the city gate to humiliate her, not ashamed of her dirty, and then I can't help but get out of the matter of Bao'en Temple, and then my aunt's affairs are also wrong again and again, how can I have such a stupid aunt as you, it's really unlucky!" Mo Xuemin coldly interrupted her self-defense, and the corners of her lips showed a little disdain.
Originally, a thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl only needed Aunt Fang's help, she was the eldest lady of the Mo family, as long as she remained generous and gentle, filial piety and decent, and talented, she could do it, but now she didn't expect to be dragged into the water, and she couldn't get it well, why didn't she call Mo Xuemin angry.
Being so disdainful of her daughter, Aunt Fang's face turned red and defended: "That little slut is really uneasy. ”
"Auntie is not worrying, if you can't move her, don't move, why do you have to be strong, not only has no effect but also provokes a commotion, aunt still think about what her father thinks now!" Mo Xuemin frowned, and sneered dissatisfiedly, "Father's heart is what you need to control the most, if your aunt doesn't have her father's support, what's the use of jumping up and down, what should you do now is not to stand up to your father and guess the status of the eldest brother in your father's heart." ”
Mo Xuemin was really in a bad mood, and at this time, she didn't hide her contempt for the other party's aunt, she was really just an aunt, even if she was given a table, she couldn't get on the table, she was really a big fool, and she didn't look at who she was, so she dared to be angry with her father, and even she was unlucky and suspicious of her father.
The flower banquet is not a big deal, if there is no aunt Fang, even if the father knows, he will miss that she is the eldest daughter, and she also participated in the last year, and if she does not participate this year, she will find a way for her, now it is okay, one by one, one by one, how dare she go to Mo Huawen now to say anything, I heard that my father was investigating this matter, and I didn't even dare to leave the invitation, and threw it on the road that Mo Huawen must pass through early.
This made Mo Xuemin, who has always been arrogant, how could she bear it, this time even Aunt Fang hated it, and there was no trace of ridicule between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was aunt when she opened her mouth, and she was worthless with disdain.
Being ridiculed by her own daughter like this, Aunt Fang became angry, and said angrily with a horizontal eye: "Don't talk about me, just take care of yourself, I will deal with that little slut, and I will naturally end up with your father." ”
"End, can you accept it if you want to? Auntie, you don't look at your identity, you used to play tricks because your father didn't suspect you, but now that you are making trouble like this, I am afraid that the suspicion of you will directly develop and grow, your little bit of caution about Mo Xuetong, or focus on your father, such a big person, and still think about wanting to suppress Luo Xia, she is dead, what do you care about her, there is nothing more important in this world than identity and power, just seize these. ”
Mo Xuemin sneered and hit Aunt Fang mercilessly.
"You haven't experienced it, so naturally say so, you don't have to worry about my business, just take care of yourself!" Mo Xuemin's words poked at Aunt Fang's heart, making her can't help but glare at her fiercely.
