Chapter 146: Invitation
Although Concubine Sun Guifei specially sent invitation posts to several low-grade female dependents, Taichang Temple Cheng Mofu was still not among her candidates. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info she has vaguely heard that the daughter of the Mo family is as beautiful as a flower, but ...... Song Yuan's disgust for the eldest princess of Hui'an, how could Sun Guifei not know?
How could she touch the emperor's scales?
But Mo Jiao didn't think so, he felt that Wu Zhao was Wu Zhao, and the Mo family was the Mo family, and now that Wu Zhao was dead, the Mo family naturally had nothing to do with Wu Zhao. So after he heard the news from He Youdao that the emperor of the lotus banquet intended to choose a concubine for the princes, he returned to the mansion and went straight to Jiashan Hall.
"With the appearance and character of a few girls in our family, how can it be enough to be a princess? Even if you can't be a concubine, it's good to be able to get the status of a side concubine! There aren't many opportunities like this, so don't miss them! Try to get an invitation anyway! Mo Jiao said to Mrs. Mo.
Although his daughter's appearance is a little insufficient, she can make up for it! To be a queen, the important thing is to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable...... In this regard, both Mo Jiao and Wu have the same confidence in Mo Shaoqi as enigma.
Take 10,000 steps back, but Qi'er can't be chosen, isn't there still three girls and seven girls? The looks are all first-class and good, anyway, they are all daughters of the Mo family, and whoever they send into the palace is not harmful to themselves, and there is no harm to the Mo family.
He said it so temptingly, Mrs. Mo was naturally very moved when she heard it. She and Mo Jiao have always had the ambition to revitalize the Mo family as their lifelong goal, and it is a good shortcut to send a certain granddaughter to the palace or even to the palace.
But the invitation is ...... Where can I get a pension wife?
"It's a good idea of yours, but it's up to you to think about the invitation!" Old Madam Mo said.
"He Shangshu, have you ever asked?"
Mo Jiao didn't go to the Wu family to discuss, he came directly to Mrs. Mo, and naturally he had already made a calculation in his heart, and when he heard the words, he said, "He Shangshu...... Mother knows, the most is the temperament of the goose plucking, and it is not impossible to ask him if he has an invitation in his hand, but the silver is ......"
When it came to silver, Mrs. Mo was a little discouraged. She has tried her best in the past two years, but she has not reaped any benefits from Mo Shaoli, but has successively filled a lot in the house, and now there is not much private room left in her hand.
"Can you think of another way?" She asked with a sigh.
Mo Jiao said: "In addition to He Shangshu's path, that is, the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion." The fourth child is now married to his cousin, and it should not be difficult for the mother to ask the fourth child to ask the Hou Mansion for an invitation. ”
When Old Madam Mo heard him say that the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, she was silent again.
Two days ago, she just had a disagreement with Mo Jun because of the dowry to the Liu family, and scolded Mo Jun for half a day in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, how can she still have the face to go to him and ask the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for an invitation?
Mo Jiaojiao came to Mrs. Mo excitedly, thinking that whether he asked her to take the silver or let her go the path of Wei Yuanhou, there was always something that could be done. But I didn't expect that Mrs. Mo not only couldn't take out the silver, but the fourth lady also refused to say it.
His face was a little unpleasant: "Mother means ...... Such a good opportunity will be passed up in vain? ”
Old Lady Mo's face was no better than his, and she saw where she went: "Where did I say I was going to let it go?" It's just that you always talk about He Shangshu all the time, this is good and that, but when it's time to use him, it's not okay? ”
The two were complaining to each other, and Wu came.
She didn't bother to say hello to Mrs. Mo when she entered the door, so she said first: "Mother, master! A Jiu Gonggong beside King Gong sent an invitation to the lotus banquet! ”
Old Lady Mo and Mo Jiao, who were at a loss for this matter, were overjoyed when they heard this, and said in unison: "Take it to me!" ”
Wu's eyes flickered a little: "It was taken by the seven girls!" ”
Old Mrs. Mo even called Hongfu to go to Fengyi Garden to invite Mo Shaoli to come.
In Fengyi Garden, Mo Shaoli was reading the invitation card: "Will Concubine Sun give me a post?" It's unusual! ”
Snow Kite asked, "Girl, shall we go then?" ”
"There is no good wine in wine, and there is no good feast...... Don't go to those places in the emperor's house! ”
Snow Kite had never been to the Royal Forest Garden, but she was a little yearning in her heart, and said: "The invitation was sent by Ah Jiu's father-in-law, it must have been given to the girl by King Gong?" ”
Mo Shaoli said: "Even if it was ...... sent by Song Tian"
As she was talking, Hongfu came: "The old lady asked the girl to take the invitation to the lotus banquet to Jiashan Hall." ”
When he arrived at Jiashan Hall, Mo Shaoli gave the invitation to Mrs. Mo, looked sideways at Mo Jiao and Wu who were sitting next to her, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Sure enough, as expected, as soon as there is something that can be linked to the royal family, they are always indispensable husband and wife!
When Mrs. Mo took the invitation and opened it, she was stunned: "Seven girls, why is there only your name on it?" ”
Traditionally, the lotus banquet invitation is usually given only one copy by the family, and whoever is invited to it will write their name on it. Generally speaking, as long as the invitation is sent to someone's family, the ladies of the family, especially the young girls, will write it.
Although the Mo family had not received an invitation to the lotus banquet before, the old lady Mo had heard of the rules.
Mo Jiao and Wu heard Mrs. Mo say that there was only Mo Shaoli on the invitation, and the joy on their faces faded, but Mo Shaoli had already stood up and said to Mrs. Mo: "Grandmother, I don't know how it can be only me." I still have a few pieces left of the big characters that the master asked me to write, so if there is nothing else, I will go back to writing first. ”
"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Mo stopped her and raised the invitation in her hand, "This post, the lotus banquet is ...... you."
"Don't go!" Mo Shaoli said very simply.
The lotus banquet was held by Sun Guifei for Song Ke and others to choose a concubine, and she couldn't avoid Song Ke, how could she send it to the door!
"Seven girls, how can you say that! The lotus banquet is an invitation sent from the palace, and many people can't get it! If you refuse like this, won't it hurt Sun Guifei and ...... King Gong's face! Mo Jun couldn't help but scold.
Just now, when he heard Mrs. Mo say that there was only Mo Shaoli on the invitation, his face had sunk, and when he saw that Mo Shaoli actually said no, he was even more angry. He racked his brains and begged for nothing, but she wanted to give up in vain! He also wanted to let Qi'er take a ride, how could he allow her not to go!
If he could, Wu would never want Mo Shaoli and Mo Shaoqi to appear in the same frame. In her ideal state, wherever Mo Shaoqi appears, Mo Shaoli had better disappear, and it would be better if she could disappear forever.
But what is it now...... There is only Mo Shaoli on the invitation, if she doesn't go, Qi'er won't be able to enter the Royal Forest Garden!
So she could only suppress the jealousy in her heart, and coaxed Mo Shaoli with kind words: "Seven girls, think about it, how can we afford to offend King Gong?" How can we afford to offend the concubine? If they ......" and Mo Jiao were white and red, trying to reason.
When Mo Shaoli heard her say this, she hesitated a little in her heart.
