Chapter Twenty-Six: A Farewell to the Night
On the eighth day of the fourth month, the day before Moyu's wedding. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Ji Mansion set up a family banquet, and even Ji Feicui, who had never shown up, came. One table for men and one table for women.
Ji Gangyang raised his glass and opened the first drink of the banquet. After the first drink, everyone took their seats and began to eat.
At the women's table, the old lady rarely spoke at the dinner table, and the words were addressed to Moyu. "Although you don't live in the capital for a long time, you have to be careful about everything after entering the palace, the relationship between the harem is complicated, and those things can be hidden. You only need to do one thing, and that is to abide by your duty and serve the emperor wholeheartedly. ”
Mo Yu replied "yes", but sneered in his heart. Since she came back for so long, no one has told her about the relationship between the various families in the capital, and no one has told her what the background of the women in the harem is. Now tell her not to care about anything but serve the emperor, when she is an idiot! Although she stays in the mountains, she has not read much history books, and in this harem, the women who died inexplicably are probably those women who only know how to serve the emperor, regardless of whether they are right or wrong!
"Mo'er, you just came back, and you want to leave your mother, your mother is really reluctant."
Can you still let people eat well, now come to play what kind of mother-daughter relationship, and I am not afraid of the people here to watch jokes. Mo Yu stood up, raised his glass forward, and said: "Mo Yu failed to fulfill his filial piety under his mother's knees, so I only use this cup to thank my mother for her nurturing grace." ”
Yuan didn't expect her to toast her, so he had to salute back, but he didn't know what to say. Ji Feicui saw that her mother was embarrassed, and she also brought a cup of tea, and then stood up, still covering her face with a light veil. It seems that her words did not scare her, Ji Pearl said with a smile: "Sister, my sister replaces wine with tea, I wish my sister can be favored by the emperor and glorify the lintel of our Ji family." ”
"Thank you." Moyu returned the favor.
Just thank you, not my sister.
Everyone present saw that the old lady and the lady had toasted, and they all stood up one after another, Aunt Xu, and Aunt Feng, the biological mother of the third lady, everyone poured wine and toasted, and Moyu also accepted it happily. Now that she is a quasi-imperial concubine, she is only missing a concubine's will in the hall tomorrow, and it stands to reason that her current status in the Ji family is greater than anyone else. Ji Pearl was choked from the corner of her eye, and seeing the smile in the corner of her eye, Mo Yu snorted coldly in her heart, wanting to get her drunk, it seemed that she was going to disappoint her. One of the skills I learned in Wuyan Mountain is to drink, and four or five altars are fine.
The old lady frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Okay, I'm almost drunk, don't delay the marriage tomorrow morning." After entering the palace, I will also help your sister, and if you can mention something, you can mention it more. ”
She hasn't entered the palace yet! They just thought about letting her pave the way for another person in the palace, hmph, this is the so-called home, ridiculous and sad. "Don't worry, old lady, I will, I believe that with the appearance and family background of the second lady, coupled with the status of the Ji family in the court, the emperor will definitely find a unique lover for the second miss." Pretend to be stupid, who wouldn't!
Yuan almost jumped up and scolded, but was stopped by the old lady's eyes, so he could only sit there and grit his teeth. Her daughter, only that position in the world is worthy, and she won't look at the rest.
The old lady just smiled awkwardly, "That's good." "Jade will enter the palace in the future, and I didn't expect Mo Yu to help anything, but I just took a position first.
At the women's table, Mo Yu had already toasted them one by one. The corner of his eyes swept over the screen in the middle, the corners of Mo Yu's mouth hooked, picked up the wine jug in one hand, and the wine glass in the other, and walked towards the men's table. When he passed by Yuan's side, he said in a voice that only two people could hear, "I want to see her." ”
Yuan was startled, there was horror in his eyes, and it took a while to calm his little heart to calm down, but when he raised his eyes, he found that the old lady's solemn eyes were staring at her without blinking, and Yuan's steady heart jumped to his throat again. "Old ...... Why did the old lady look at her daughter-in-law like this? ”
Looking over from the position of the old lady, she could just see Mo Yu's lips leaning over and opening and closing, and at a glance, she knew what Mo Yu and Yuan said, and then looked at Yuan's expression after listening, she was even more sure. "What did she tell you?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, she told her daughter-in-law to wish Jade happiness. ”
Mo Yu deliberately chose this angle, as for how the Yuan family and the old lady are sloppy, it is none of her business, anyway, it is estimated that the old lady will not believe the Yuan family's words. Sure enough, the old lady still looked at the Yuan family without blinking, and said: "I don't care what she says to you, I warn you, don't touch her, otherwise don't say it's me, and the queen mother won't be able to spare you." ”
Yuan could only nod his head and say "yes". But she was sneering in her heart, she had already controlled Mo Yu a few years ago, and now it would be too easy to move her, even if Mo Yu committed suicide, he would not hesitate to raise a knife and cut his neck.
At this moment, the ladies at the table all followed Mo Yu to the men's table, wanting to see what she was going to do, but they didn't pay attention to the movements of the old lady and the Yuan family at the women's table.
Looking at Mo Yu again, he walked to the men's table, Ji Gangyang saw her coming, and shouted: "Stop, why did you come here and drink like this." Then he pointed to the cloud clothes behind Mo Yu and said, "You, help your young lady go back." ”
Mo Yu ignored Ji Gangyang's reproach, poured the wine, raised his glass and stepped forward, and said, "Don't worry, Master Ji, I'm very sober, I respect you for this glass of wine, thank you for your fertility." Regardless of whether Ji Gangyang responded or not, he raised his head and drank it all.
She called Master Ji, not father, not father. She only respects the grace of childbirth, not the grace of nurturing.
Pouring another glass, Mo Yu smiled and said, "Young Master, I salute you, thank you for accepting the pastries made by Mo Yu." ”
Ji Boyuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect her to toast with him, so he replied: "Thank you sister, brother also respects you." He was ashamed that he had only taken one bite of the pastries.
When he walked to Ji Zhongting's side, without waiting for Mo Yu to speak, he poured himself full of wine and said with a smile: "My sister is arrogant, she has a heroic style, so that my younger brother admires me, and my younger brother respects my sister three cups." ”
This is her favorite thing to listen to tonight, as if she has met a confidant for a long time, so she smiled and said, "Okay, three glasses." Don't get drunk, if you're drunk, you'll make a big fool. ”
"Come on."
The two of them drank one cup and had another cup, completely ignoring Ji Gangyang's "nonsense". Since it's nonsense, let's not forget everything tonight for the rest of your lives! Ji Zhongting had to admire: "My sister is really a heroine among women. ”
After drinking three glasses, Mo Yu patted Ji Zhongting on the shoulder, and said regretfully: "If only we had known each other earlier, at least we could be drinking friends, hehe, it's a pity ......"
Without waiting for Ji Zhongting to speak, Mo Yu had already taken the wine glass in his hand, bypassed him, and came to Steward Ji. Steward Ji didn't expect the eldest lady to toast him, so he looked at the master and the eldest lady in flattery, and didn't know what to do.
"Steward Ji, what are you nervous about, I can't eat you. Come, I'll give you a toast, although I don't like to listen to you when you usually speak, but I still want to thank you. Thank you for rescuing Moyu from the fire back then, and thank you for taking care of me all these years, and taking good care of me. "Over the years, her contact with the Ji family is only this Ji housekeeper.
There were two glasses full of wine between his thumb and index finger, and Steward Ji reached out to take one glass, seeing that Moyu had already raised his head to drink, and he also raised his head hard. The cracked wine slid down his throat, bringing a strong feeling of dry burning, and Steward Ji had to cover his lips with his sleeves to block the embarrassment.
As soon as he finished drinking, he heard a crisp cracking sound around him, and he was so frightened that he was turning his head and looking at the person who toasted him. But where is the figure of the eldest lady in front of me, the wine glass and jug on the ground are shattered, and the wine is spilled. Looking at the door again, the eldest lady had already flown away, leaving behind a room of pity, helplessness, reluctance, grief, and ridicule. Only Ji Zhongting muttered, "Sister is such a person, why did God arrange for her to be born in such a family?" ”
This feast did not end with the departure of the protagonist. Moyu left, and those who stayed continued to eat before they were full, and continued to drink before they had enough to drink. It seems that her trouble just now is just a small episode. Happiness is theirs, not the departed person.
On the way back to Mo Lanxuan, the evening breeze was gentle, Yun Sheng couldn't help but sneeze, Mo Yu didn't look back, and said, "You go back first, I want to go a little longer." ”
"Let me stay with Miss!" The young lady had drunk a lot, and she did not dare to let her walk alone.
Mo Yu looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and did not shirk. "Leave the lamp, you go to the front arch and wait for me, I want to walk alone for a while."
Yunshang knew that her young lady was in a bad mood, so she left first according to her words. When Yunshang walked farther, Mo Yu stopped and said in a deep voice: "Come out!" ”
As the sound of the sparse sound sounded, a person walked out behind Mo Yu, carrying a lantern and walking towards her. The person who came bypassed her, walked in front of her and stood still, and said in a cold voice: "You are bold enough, you are not afraid that I will kill you here." ”
"You don't kill people, you only tell others to kill. Besides, do you have the guts to kill me now? If you kill me, the Queen Mother and the old lady will skin you alive. Hehe, my request, how have you thought about it? ”
"I can only give you this, I won't let you see people."
In the palm of the hand spread out in front of her, there was an earring, which was exactly the same as the one given to her by Steward Ji on Wuyan Mountain last time. Mo Yu reached out and took it into his palm, and then his tone stabbed at the person like the tip of winter ice. "I hate the person who deceived me the most in my life, you'd better not lie to me, if one day let me know that you lied to me, what you did to her back then, I will do to the entire Ji family and the Yuan family. Your father, your mother, your husband, your son and daughter, I will not let go of any of them, and I will make you regret it even in the next life. ”
Yuan's body trembled slightly, his back was forced to be cold by the ruthlessness of the person in front of him, and the hand holding the lantern pole was slowly clenched, but he still said calmly: "You dare? You're just a sacrifice ......."
"Hmph, you'd better believe that I have that ability. Yuan, it's been more than 20 years! You can't even fight the old lady in this Ji Mansion, how capable do you think you are, I can be a victim today, and tomorrow it may be your daughter. You'd better take good care of her for me, or if your daughter enters the palace, I will give her a fire within three days." ”
After saying that, Mo Yu bypassed the Yuan clan and went straight to the arch in front of him, leaving the Yuan clan behind him who was trembling with anger. Mo Yu is right, she has been married to the Ji Mansion for more than 20 years, although she is beautiful on the surface, everything in the backyard is in her hands. But she is only responsible for the implementation, the big things are decided by the old lady, and even the financial power is in the hands of the old lady, she is just a cover.
When he returned to Mo Lanxuan, Xiang Rong was still waiting for the lamp, and when he saw Mo Yu coming in, he hurriedly greeted him. "Why did Miss come back so late?"
"I drank two more glasses, walked a few more slowly on the way, and didn't come back until the wine was gone, it's hard for you to wait for me at such a late hour."
Xiang Rong pouted and said, "I can't sleep." ”
Mo Yu sneered, it wasn't her who was the bride, she couldn't sleep anything. "Okay, you go sleep with Yunshang tonight, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning!"
"Miss, what about you?" Yun Sheng was a little worried, and was in the living room just now, and was taken aback by Moyu's actions.
"Of course I slept. Okay, I'm not crazy, I'm awake, go to sleep! ”
"Miss, let's go."
"Hmm!"
Watching the two of them walk out step by step, Mo Yu turned around and entered the back room, took two teacups and walked to the soft couch under the window, moved a small low square table, put the teacups on the table, and said to himself: "My cups have been set, and you can't come down yet." ”
The figure in the back room flashed, and a person fell to the ground from the beam of the room, walked to the opposite side of Moyu, sat down with his clothes, put a jar of wine on the table by the way, and said with a smile: "How do you know that I am here?" ”
"Can't I smell my own wine?"
It turned out that the fragrance of wine betrayed him! Yetian tore open the seal of the wine jar, and when he arrived at two glasses, one was handed to Moyu and one was kept for himself. "I've been lying on it for so long, and I haven't noticed it."
Mo Yu picked up the teacup, drank it all, and looked out the window at the dark night. "Last year, we drank together, and it was about this time, but it was on Wuyan Mountain at that time, and now you see me off."
Ye Tian stared at her perfect side face, his eyes were stunned. "Wine is a good thing, I remember when I first went up the mountain, I stole your wine to drink, and was chased by your guards all over the mountain, and five years passed like this."
"Yes, five years is so short."
"Haha, why are you so emotional, I heard that someone just had a drunken madness!"
After another drink, "After a drunken madness, my relationship with them, like a broken flask and glass, dissolved." From now on, the Ji family has nothing to do with me. ”
"Hey, you drink less, ...... tomorrow" Yetian closed his mouth in time, because Mo Yuzheng was glaring at him unhappily, he had to smile and said: "How can this relationship be broken if you say it." ”
She also knows that this relationship must be broken, but she is just a little more comfortable. "Yetian, tell me honestly, when did you know that I was back in Tokyo?"
Yetian played with the wine glass, and pretended to be puzzled and said: "It's the day of praying to God, what's wrong, you...... Not convinced? ”
Letter. As long as he says it, she believes it. Although she knew that the sentence itself was not credible.
Mo Yu stared at his good-looking peach blossom eyes for a long time, and muttered, "Yetian, the first time we met, was it on the mountain?" Why I feel that I have known you for a long time. ”
Yetian withdrew his hand and raised it in the shape of a crescent moon, facing the window, coinciding with the moon in the sky. "Really? I also feel that I have known you for a long time, and you said, we have passed by in the past five hundred years. ”
"Hmph, maybe! It doesn't matter anymore. ”
I'm afraid that this is the last time they will meet, and he really can't tell the truth? Moyu closes her eyes in despair and drinks the bar! There is a saying that he is right, wine is a good thing.
