Chapter 12 Entering Beijing
The ship left Huai'an, all the way smoothly, passed through Xuzhou, passed through Cangzhou, and arrived in the capital on this day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the Tongzhou wharf, Chen Bo had already sent people to Beijing by land to deliver a letter to Fuzhong, and when he arrived at the outer south wharf of the capital the next day, the carriages and horses of Mofu were already waiting at the wharf.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the Korean paper pasted on the porthole is replaced with green shadow yarn.
When he got up in the morning, Mo Shaoli leaned against the window and looked outside through the screen window for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "The quiet days on the ship are gone!" Where is this going home, it is clearly the rhythm of returning to the battlefield, but I didn't expect that after dying of exhaustion in the workplace, I had to continue to fight with the women in the back house when I woke up. ā
"What are you talking about? What's going on out there? The snow kite, who walked in from outside the door with a tray, heard Mo Shaoli speak, put down the soup porridge in her hand, walked behind her, looked out and asked.
"Curious baby!" Mo Shaoli turned around and left the porthole, sat down at the table and drank Zixuan's daily assigned task: white fungus red date soup.
Snow Kite looked out the window for a long time, but she didn't see what the girl was looking at just now, and couldn't help muttering: "Who did the girl say was fighting?" How I didn't see it. ā
Mo Shaoli listened, almost choking on porridge.
After breakfast, Mo Shaoli asked Xue Kite to comb her double buns, and picked out two white rice bead chains from the box for her to wrap around her hair buns, wearing two pearl earplugs the size of broken rice on her ears, wearing a magnolia-colored gold collared shirt and a light yellow Luo skirt.
Zixuan couldn't help but rejoice when she looked at it. The girl is sensible in the end, knowing that the old lady does not like people to give filial piety to the fourth wife, and she knows that she has to avoid the old lady's jealousy when she returns home without persuasion. If you are still as plain as before, and you go back and make the old lady angry, it will be the girl who will suffer at that time.
Mo Shaoli looked at himself in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled.
In the first match, how could I give them a chance and let myself fall into passivity?
July is the hottest weather in the capital, and the scorching sun shines down and bakes the bustling docks to a steaming heat.
Mo Shaoli took Zixuan's hand, slowly walked off the boat along the pedal, and looked up.
On the wharf, five or six carriages with the Mofu logo stood side by side, and in front of the carriages stood a line of teenagers of varying heights.
The eldest young master Mo Shaosong, the third young master Mo Shaobai, the fourth young master Mo Shaohua, the fifth young master Mo Shaofeng, except for the second young master Mo Shaoyu who died young, the young masters of the younger generation are here. And in addition to Mo Shaosong's mediocre appearance, the other few have handsome eyebrows and good looks, which are extremely eye-catching.
It's so complete!
It seems that although Mo Fu is not kind to her, Mo Si is very popular!
In fact, she didn't know that all the teenagers in Mofu rushed to the dock to pick up people, not because they were welcome back, but because of the upcoming autumn expedition.
Since Mo Jun is still the master, the Mo family has not been able to enter the scientific examination for ten years. Now that the eldest princess of Hui'an has died, the nine-month filial piety period of the young masters has expired, and it coincides with the year of the scientific examination, so naturally they will all be locked up to study and prepare for the exam. Although the most high hopes were placed on the eldest young master Mo Shaosong, who passed the children's examination at the age of twelve, in order to create a good learning atmosphere for him, the Mofu teenagers were detained in the study these days.
So as soon as I heard that there was such a good thing as going outside the city to pick up the fourth uncle, the young masters in the study suddenly blew up the pot and rushed to grab it, and finally Mrs. Mo waved her hand and came.
In his previous life, Mo Shaoli was sent to Lixiangyuan the next day after returning home, and in the later life, which was not too long, he almost lived a life of isolation. Except for the married aunt Mo Qiu, the rest of the Mo family usually almost didn't exist as if she didn't exist, and only when there was something to assign her or someone to vent her anger, would they dig her out of the Lixiang Garden in the northwest corner of the back garden.
So at that time, she rarely met and interacted with this group of young masters, and she didn't feel much when she saw them at this time, she didn't like or hate them, only the fifth young master Mo Shaofeng and Mo Shaoli took a few more looks.
In his previous life, when the fourth master Mo was terminally ill, Mrs. Mo took the initiative to marry his niece Xiao Lu Chongxi. After the death of the fourth master of Mo, the little Lu family succeeded Mo Shaofeng in the second room as the heir. Mo Shaofeng inherited the property of the fourth master of Mo, but he never said a word for her when she was framed, and he never looked at her until she starved to death when she was sent to Qingyun Nunnery.
Also shortly after the death of Fourth Master Mo, Mrs. Mo took away all the dowries of the eldest princess in the treasury of Fengyi Garden, saying that she would temporarily help Mo Shaoli keep it and give it to her when she grew up.
But Mo Shaoli never saw a piece of clothing and jewelry from his mother until he died, let alone the gold and silver treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings given by the Queen Mother and the first emperor. And Mofu, which has always been poor, has become rich since then, and only Lixiangyuan, where she lives, has no ice in summer and no carbon in winter, and the food is often poor.
Mo Shaoli's gaze swept over the young masters of the Mo family and landed on the carriage not far away.
In her previous life, Mrs. Mo sent her to pick her up was a mother-in-law from the outer courtyard, and her words and deeds were very unscrupulous, and she was later reprimanded by Zixuan, although she was a little restrained, she was sad for a long time.
She is the young lady of Mofu, but even the inferior mother-in-law in the outer courtyard despises and bullies her.
"Seven girls! Hearing that the seventh girl is in good health, the old lady is very happy! specially let the slave maid come to welcome the seventh girl back home. A voice with a slight foreign accent interrupted Mo Shaoli's memories with a flattering tone.
Mo Shaoli looked over, but what he saw was not the mother-in-law in his previous life, but Mrs. Liu's wife in Jiashan Hall in Mrs. Mo's courtyard.
She remembered that this Mrs. Liu was the janitor of Jiashantang, although she was a little greedy for money, she was considered to have a better attitude towards her and her mother among the people of Mofu, and she was usually respectful when she saw them. In her previous life, the news that the snow kite passed from He Mansion was brought to her by Mrs. Liu.
"Hard work Mama Liu! Qingcheng, take some silver to buy wine for Mama Liu! Mo Shaoli said.
Mrs. Liu looked at Mo Shaoli and blinked. The seventh girl has only been in Jiangnan for a few months, how can she seem to have grown up all of a sudden, and her words and actions are different from before. In the past, the seventh girl didn't want to say that she would give a reward, and she wouldn't even say a word to her.
It turned out that although this Mrs. Liu was from Jiashantang, she usually didn't get into the eyes of the old lady, but today she was pointed out to pick up the seventh girl, which made her overjoyed. She has been in the house for more than ten years, and she can see many things clearly, although the old lady doesn't like the seventh girl, but the seventh girl is the daughter of the eldest princess after all, when the eldest princess got married, two hundred and forty dowries, one by one, were brought in, and they were full of Fengyi Garden, she had seen it with her own eyes.
Not to mention anything else, the Seven Girls are rich!
No, a reward was given as soon as they met!
Mrs. Liu took the purse handed by Qingcheng with a smile on her face, and after thanking the reward, she held the purse with her hand and quietly pinched it.
It's a whole piece of silver ingot!
She was suddenly a little happy and couldn't find Bei: "Seventh girl, you ...... This way, it's your car! ā
Mrs. Liu led Mo Shaoli to the carriage in a disorderly manner and put down her pedals.
After Zixuan helped Mo Shaoli get into the car and sit down, the green orange and green beads bowed their heads and came in.
Mrs. Liu climbed into the front room of the car and sat on one side with the driver.
Mo Shaoli looked at the back of Mrs. Liu, thinking of the mother-in-law who squeezed in after she got into the car in her previous life, and felt a sense of trance in her heart.
Many things are different from the previous life!
She looked out through the car screen window and saw Master Mo Si standing not far away talking to people, his bamboo-blue figure was elegant and outstanding, and his handsome face was as clear as the breeze and the moon, which was better than the young man beside him.
In the last life, Daddy was carried off the boat.
Mrs. Liu, who was sitting in front of the car, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but put her hand into her sleeve, pinched the purse containing the silver reward, and pinched herself with her hand, and then took a breath with a "hiss".
It's really not a dream! Get rich!
The days of Mofu are cold, and Mrs. Liu is not powerful, and the monthly share of silver is only a few hundred yuan, and she has a perennial sick son at home, and her life is very poor. Although it is easier to get money as an errand in Jiashantang than elsewhere, except for the eldest princess who would reward some silver from time to time, even the most generous eldest lady only gives a few dozen dollars each time, and it is rare to get a few times a year.
Now the seventh girl not only looks more and more like the eldest princess, but also has the appearance of the eldest princess in her actions and words, and her shots are even more generous than the eldest princess. With this ingot of silver, his son Ah Cai's medicine money in the past few months has been settled again......
Mrs. Liu was thinking about it, when she saw the snow kite holding a paper umbrella and coming over, she hurriedly jumped out of the car to meet her: "The snow kite girl is here?" It's sunny outside, so it's cool in the car! ā
Snow Kite is a second-class maid in Mo Mansion, and her status is much higher than that of Mrs. Liu, but because she is Mo Shaoli's maid in Fengyi Garden, her life in the mansion is not very easy.
The people of Jiashantang even dared to give the faces of the fourth wife and the seventh girl, let alone them? At this time, when she saw that Mrs. Liu was suddenly so attentive, she couldn't help but feel a faint chill in her back.
What kind of moth is the old lady going to come out of?
