Chapter 2 The Mohists as Guests

The Hengdu Mo family is the largest merchant family in Hengguo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mo Yue, the current head of the Mo family, his father Mo Shezhen is a Confucian merchant who has developed the family industry to the peak of the Mo family for more than ten generations, and his mother Princess Luan Juan is the eldest princess of the same period as Emperor Mo, that is, the sister of Emperor Mo Ying and Princess Kui.

In other words, Mo Yue, Ruihuang Xingyou and Du Guan are cousins, and Mo Yue and Ruihuang Xingyou and Du Ling, that is, Princess Gong Helian Ling, are all cousins.

Therefore, in terms of title, Mo Yue and Ruihuang Xingyou are the cousins of the ruts and the cousins of Chan'er.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Mo family and the royal family of Guguo also have a layer of blood - many years ago, Mo Yue's aunt Mo Mengxuan married into Guguo and is the queen of Xianhuang Yunhao, that is, the queen mother of Gongwang Yuanxia, Xuanhuang Yuanzhao and Fuwang Yuanhan. From this, Mo Yue is the cousin of King Gong, Emperor Xuan and King Fu - Chan'er's cousin.

Relying on the kinship of the royal families of Heheng and Gu, the Mo family has developed its multifaceted industries into a thriving and proud stand in the five countries.

First of all, I mentioned the two largest money banks in the five countries, one is the Yiguo Juzhan Money Bank, and the other is the Mo Money Bank.

Led by Mo's Qianzhuang, the Mo's industries also include Mo's Tea House, Mo's Salt Farm, Mo's Silk Silk, etc. In addition, the Mohists also had trade contacts with Chihua Weapons, the largest weapons supplier in Hengguo.

Mo Yue now focuses mainly on the operation of Mo's money estate, and the rest of the family property is handed over to the family to be responsible. One of his sons and a daughter, named Mo Ziluo and Mo Lanhui. In recent years, Mo Yue took Mo Lanhui to take care of the Mo Tea House, and handed over the Mo Salt Farm to Mo Ziluo, who had become an independent family. In addition, Mo's silk business is taken care of by Mo Yue's sister Mo Li and nephew Fang Yanyan.

The Mo family has reached the generation of Mo Ziluo, Fang Muyan, and Mo Lanhui, and still has very close contacts with the Hengguo royal family.

Today, Mo Ziluo is twenty-one years old, the eldest prince Yu Nan is twenty years old, the second prince Yu Shi and Fang Yan are eighteen years old, the princess Youting is seventeen years old, and Mo Lanhui is the youngest, fifteen years old.

Maybe it's because they're relatively close in age, and the children have often gotten along with each other since they were young, and it has long been a common thing for the two princes and princesses to visit the Mo family.

On this day, the banquet held at the Mo family was just a relatively ordinary gathering of relatives and friends. In order to add to the fun, everyone drank tea and sat in the courtyard to play a game of poetry by incorporating names into the poems.

In the meantime, the servants of the Mo Mansion led the lonely country Fu Wang Yuanhan and the county lord Chanyuan into the table, and after a polite exchange of greetings and introductions, the game of poetry continued.

Fang Yuyan, who was dressed in a white robe and had a pair of Pixiu accessories hanging around his waist, stood up, looked at Yuan Han and Chan'er and said:

Alfalfa is not talented, and coming up with a poem according to the scene can be regarded as a small tribute to welcome King Fu and the county lord Chanyuan from afar. Zhiyuan said that he was a drunken guest with poetry, and his talent was outstanding. ”

"Well, this poem has the names of my cousin and the county lord Chanyuan. Mo Lanhui said with a smile, "But since it's to welcome the two masters, why didn't you mention King Fu?"

"Don't worry, I already have a number of verses for King Fu. Princess Youting glanced at Fang Yuyan meaningfully, and then said to Mo Lanhui and Yuan Han, "My sentence is not made in response to the occasion. Qiyu Mingqin Han Moon Shadow, Fenhua Fruit Hanging Garden. I don't know what the prince thinks?"

"Although the scene is different from this moment, the mood of this poem is very good, and I appreciate it. Chanyuan and I are here to replace wine with tea, thank you for your hospitality. ”

~~~

While everyone was pushing the cups and changing the lamps, Fang Yuyan and Youting glanced at each other, only to see his fingers shake slightly, signaling her to leave the table quietly, and then he also got up and paced towards the side door of the courtyard.

"Why did you sneak out?" asked Yuting with a smile in his eyes.

"I asked knowingly, not because of the look in your eyes. Fang Yuyan replied helplessly.

"Who made you blatantly imitate the red apricot out of the wall!"

"No, but you came to me before and told me that I couldn't marry you. ”

"Yes. If you can marry that county lord home, it will also be a good thing for us Hengguo, maybe my father will be able to dispel the idea of marrying you and me. ”

"On the other hand, if you marry that prince, we will also have a turnaround. ”

"Huh?" Yuting blinked.

"As far as you can see that I have a good impression of Lord Chanyuan, I can't see your little care?" Fang Yuyan said with a chuckle.

"Then let's see who can get things done first. Yu Ting said as he looked in the direction of the courtyard, his gaze seemed to penetrate the courtyard wall.

Yuan Han, you must not know that I have fallen in love with you since you fought with Yi Guo for the second time three years ago, and I have fallen in love with you who have never been defeated on the battlefield, and no one can replace you from now on.

At the corner of the street across the street from Mofu -

"You said Chan'er was nearby, are you sure?" Helian Jialu looked around, then turned to Guan Shu and asked.

"Hmm. Guan Shu nodded, pointed in the direction where Helian Jialu was back, and said, "Over there." ”

"How do you know?"

"It's all due to it. Guan Shu smiled and took out a flat bottle like a snuffbox, held it in the palm of his hand and handed it to Helian Jialu.

"What kind of ...... is this," Helian Jialu looked puzzled.

"When Chan'er was in Moge, my father specially collected several rare medicinal materials and made a decoction for Chan'er, just to make some changes in her appearance. One of them is taken from a plant called Black Mandala, because of long-term use, Chan'er has left a unique aroma on her body, which only it can recognize. Guan Shu opened the lid of the bottle, and a translucent insect in the pot was shaking its tentacles quite anxiously, looking very similar to the one of Shibuya Nanaya Lord Tian Chitachi.

Helian Garlu narrowed one eye and leaned forward to take a closer look with the other. Seeing this, Guan Shu then explained:

"This little worm has been fed only one medicine since birth, and it will always recognize only that taste, and will be restless within ten miles of the source of the aroma. I fed it just black mandala when it first hatched. ”

"Such an amazing little fellow. But what if someone else smells of a black mandala as well?"

"No, this plant is the only one left in the world. Speaking of which, this little worm is already very rare, but according to my father, it is not extinct. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm, and it's also very related to Chan'er. ”

"Don't sell it, tell me quickly. Helian Jialu's curiosity was aroused, and he said in a strange tone.

"You should have heard that in addition to the two senior brothers of the Tuoba family and the Demon Palace, Princess Kui also has a senior sister. ”

"Well, I know her name, her name is Ba Xue, and I heard that her medical skills are particularly good. Helian Jialu said, suddenly reacting to something, "Ah, could it be that she raised this little worm in the first place?"

"Not bad. Back then, Princess Kui Yu once took Master Mu to find Ba Xue's predecessor to detoxify, and it was probably from her at that time. I think her descendants also know how to reproduce this little worm. ”

"Alas. Helian Jialu only sighed when she heard this.

"Huh?"

"You are in Yi Country, you must have heard of the great general Shui Qi, right? He is the bloodline of Ba Xue's predecessors. And eleven years ago, dozens of people up and down the Shui family were raided, and it seemed that no one was left in the world...... I remember when I was a child, my father said that Princess Kui and Ba Xue's predecessors have a very good relationship, like my aunt's life experience, there are not many people who know that she is actually a descendant of Hengguo, but Ba Xue's predecessors are one of them. Helian Jialu was stunned for a moment because she remembered that her aunt and uncle were also killed by Yi Guo, so she quickly shook her head and changed the topic, "Let's go find Chan'er quickly!"

"I'll send you to the front, and when I see Chan'er, I'll go back to Moge. After all, my status is not suitable to be by your side all the time. ”

"What's not suitable, who said it's not suitable!" Helian Jialu was a little anxious when she heard this, "I won't let you go." ”

"County Lord......"

"I don't care about the dignity and inferiority of the county lord and the non-county lord, I only know that you are the small pavilion master of the Yi Guo Mo Pavilion, and I am the county lord of the Wei Kingdom. Helian Jialu deliberately accentuated the words "Yiguo" and "Weiguo".

When Guan Shu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly, and said softly:

"I see. ”

Helian Jialu blushed and tilted her head to the side, but the smile on her lips completely revealed what she was thinking.

~~~

Fang Yuyan and Youting returned to the courtyard and sat down one after another, and after a while, a servant came to report:

"Young master, cousin, young master, miss, the county lord of Helian County of Wei Guoming County came to visit, I haven't heard the lord mention it before, and the lord is not in the mansion, so I will let the county lord take the county lord to the side hall to wait. ”

"Is it Jialu?" Chan'er looked at Yuan Han with some surprise.

"The county lord of Helian came from afar, and he and the county lord Chanyuan are cousins, so they can only be the distinguished guests of our distinguished guests, how can we be lazy. I'll go with you to welcome the county lord. Mo Ziluo said and stood up.

"Let Chanyuan go too, their sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Yuan Han said.

"It's fine. The county lord please. ”

The servants of the Mofu led Mo Ziluo and Chan'er to the side hall and retreated.

Since the day Chan'er fell off the cliff, Helian Jialu saw Chan'er for the first time, and Chan'er saw Jialu for the first time since she lost her memory.

"Are you really Chan'er? I almost don't recognize you. Helian Jialu's eyes glistened with tears.

"Well, I've wanted to see you all these years. That's nice. Chan'er smiled and patted Helian Jialu's back to comfort her.

"It's okay. Helian Jialu looked Chan'er up and down again, and finally laughed and said.

Only then did Mo Ziluo step forward and introduce himself and the guests in the mansion to Helian Jialu.

Chan'er deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Guan Shu.

"You brought Jialu to me?" Chan'er said softly.

"yes. I said I'd see you again. Guan Shu smiled and said.

"You two...... It's a good relationship. Chan'er looked back and forth at Helian Jialu's back and Guan Shu's face.

"Ah, what are you talking about?'s weather is nice today, haha......" Guan Shu said to him.

"Not honestly. Chan'er pouted and didn't answer.

"Okay, it's okay to say whatever you say. Guan Shu saw that no one was paying attention to him and Chan'er, so he acquiesced, and said to Chan'er, "Also, I found out what you asked me to help you check, and I will tell you at night." ”

"Be careful when you come, two of my guards may still be above you, and the others are not weaker than me. ”

"Rest assured. Yuan Han is here too?"

"Yes. He will be very happy to see you, you are his savior. ”

Mofu Courtyard –

The eldest prince Yu Nan and the second prince Yu Shi were the first to discover Mo Ziluo who was about to step into the courtyard, and Helian Jialu next to Mo Ziluo.

"Sister Jialu, long time no see. The eldest prince Yu Nan walked around the long table in front of him and stepped forward to greet him.

“…… Brother Yunan?" Helian Jialu cried out with some uncertainty.

"It's me. Yu Nan smiled and said, "The last time we saw each other was about six years ago." ”

"Well, but Brother Yunan's smile has always been so sunny, it's easy to recognize. Helian Jialu said as he looked to the side, "...... Isn't the slimy ghost there?"

As soon as Helian Jialu said this, everyone was puzzled. In the silence, I only heard the second prince clear his throat and said:

“…… Don't come unharmed, nasty. ”

"Are you Yushi?" Helian Jialu looked visibly surprised, "It seems that a lot has changed compared to before." ”

"Except for what you say, you're still just as annoying, haven't you changed in other aspects?" Yu Shi glanced at Helian Jialu angrily.

"Each other, each other. Helian Garlu wrinkled her nose, looked away, and said no more.

"You two, pinch as soon as you meet. Seeing this, Yu Nan shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Yu Shi again, "How can you say that you are also a brother, and Sister Jialu is still a guest, so don't talk to her." ”

"Hmm. Yu Shi nodded expressionlessly, stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Sister Jialu, Sister Chanyuan, take a seat." ”

"Alright, everybody, sit down. Mo Ziluo also said to everyone.

~~~

Almost at the end of the day, Mo Yue, the head of the Mo family, took a break from the busy affairs of the money village and returned to the mansion. At this time, Yu Nan, Yu Shi and Youting had already returned to the palace before the palace gate was closed, and the rest of the guests also dispersed one after another, only Yuan Han, Chan'er, and Helian Jialu were stopped by Mo Ziluo and Fang Yuyan.

"Dad, we've helped you keep your important guests. Mo Ziluo said with a smile.

Mo Yue stopped in front of the main hall and looked at Yuan Han through the lantern in the servant's hand, and at this look, his tired expression was instantly replaced by excitement and joy.

"Are you...... The king of the lonely country, Yuan Han?"

"Yes. Yuan Han nodded with a warm smile.

"It looks like your father. Mo Yue was quite emotional, noticed Chan'er and Helian Jialu, and asked, "Who are these two?"

"My brother Gong's daughter, Chanyuan. and her cousin, the county lord of Helian Jialu of the Victorian Kingdom. Chan Yuan and Cousin Mo are also very related. ”

Hearing this, Mo Yue couldn't help but look at the two of them carefully, and then his eyes lingered on Yuan Han again, as if he wanted to find the traces of the old man, so he was silent for a while before he spoke again:

"My cousin, my family. Ziluo, Lan Hui, and Mu Yan, haven't come to see the prince and your cousin Chanyuan. ”

"Dad, we talked about it just now, Sister Chanyuan is younger than my brother and cousin, but older than me, and she is my cousin. Mo Lanhui said to Mo Yue.

"Good. Is the guest room ready?" Mo Yue asked Mo Ziluo again.

"Well, that's for sure, don't worry. ”

"Hmm. Mo Yue nodded with satisfaction and looked at Yuan Han and the others, "It's not too early, you guys should rest early." The emperor has been looking forward to your arrival, and I think he will summon you into the palace early tomorrow morning. ”

"Good. My cousin is quite tired after a busy day, so let's get inside. Yuan Han said, "You don't have to bother to greet us, we will tell Ziluo if we need anything, and we won't be polite to you." ”

"Good. Mo Yue laughed, "Ziluo, you lead the way for Uncle Fu Wang and them, come to my room when you come back." ”

"I see. ”

~~~

After Yuan Han, Chan'er, Helian Jialu and their entourage packed up and settled, Mo Ziluo left. Yuan Han, Chan'er, and Helian Jialu said a few more words, and then went back to their rooms.

Xitao accompanies Chan'er to live in the same room, and Xiaorao and Peiqi live next door.

"West Peach. Chan'er beckoned to Xi Tao, who was busy making tea and pouring water.

"County Lord, what's the matter?" Xitao put down the teapot and took a few steps closer.

"Don't be surprised that a guest will come in a moment, and the way he will come may be peculiar. Also, pour an extra cup of tea. ”

"Ah...... Oh good. Xi Tao replied blankly, but then became excited, "What else do you need the slave to do, the county lord just orders." ”

"Well, you just have to wait and see. ”

"Yes. ”

In the guest room on the other side -

Yuan Han is calling Jing Hu and Luo Dong to tell him something.

Needless to say, this is not a coincidence, but Yuan Han and Chan'er colluded in advance.
