September 9 is the Chung Yeung Festival of the year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Moyu got up early in the morning to pack her luggage, went to the Queen Mother to get the palace card, packed the gifts, and took Ma Gonggong, Yunshang and Xiangrong, and Biyue out of the palace. Originally, she didn't want to take Biyue with her, but she had to follow, saying that she wanted to go home and see, even if her parents were no longer there, it would be good to see the old scene. Ma Gonggong also had to follow, saying that before the emperor left, he asked him to take good care of her. She is helpless, let's go together! The Ji family is not without food.

She has been in the palace for half a year, and the people of the Ji family have also visited her two or three times, including the one after she recovered from her injury. Anyway, now the emperor is no longer in the palace, and the concubines are all staying quietly, and the harem is surprisingly calm. But as the saying goes, under the calm there must be a storm. I don't know if that's the case, anyway, she doesn't care about it now, and it's a day to be happy.

Since that night, the Queen Mother has not been very unkind to see her, and after Moyu recovered from her injury, she also went to the Queen Mother every day to ask for peace, but the Queen Mother insisted that she was not completely well, so she didn't have to go every day. She didn't shirk it, so she simply didn't go. Thinking that there was nothing to do anyway, just to go out of the palace to have fun, so a few days ago I asked the Queen Mother for advice, saying that she had been away from home for too long, and she missed her relatives very much, and wanted to go home to see, the Queen Mother didn't say a word, and readily agreed.

Originally, he wanted to return to his parents' house with a concubine's honor guard, but Moyu didn't want to be so ostentatious. I was just assassinated, and my scar is not healed, but I can't forget the pain, and I can't wait to tell others: she is here, hurry up and kill her.

So, early in the morning, a slightly gorgeous cyan carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate and headed for the Ji Mansion on Nanhua Street.

Because there is no clear purpose, the people of Jifu do not know that Concubine Li Niangniang is returning to Ning today. Mo Yu walked to the gate of the Ji Mansion and was stopped by the guards guarding the door. Fortunately, Ma Gonggong's signature face was still a little useful, so he hurriedly got out of the way and let Mo Yu and the others enter the mansion, and someone else went in to report to Ji Gang and Yang.

Xiang Rong was very angry, and the dignified concubine Niangniang returned to Ning, and even let her enter through the side door, which was simply unreasonable. Seeing her angry smile, Mo Yu smiled: "You don't have to be like this, let's just wait here." ”

Ma Gonggong was also puzzled, "Niangniang, why does the slave think that this doesn't seem to be your maiden family?" "This father-in-law Ma has been following the people of the Jade Immortal Palace for a long time, and he will also make jokes.

Mo Yuwan smiled and said, "It's not to blame them, I don't spend much time in the house." Even I don't know them. But Grandpa Ma, your old face is more effective than mine. ”

Ma Gonggong was a little embarrassed and said, "It's just that it's difficult for the mother, you have to stand in this wind." ”

Although it is autumn, the weather is not too cold, and the wind is just right, and it blows comfortably. Mo Yu smiled indifferently: "I'm not a young lady raised in the boudoir, this bit of wind is nothing to me." At this time, the chrysanthemums in the temple should be in full bloom! ”

As soon as I heard some play, I was busy and said happily: "Niangniang wants to go and see?" ”

"I used to hear the emperor say that the chrysanthemums in Tokyo are the best in Daxiangkokuji Temple. Not only are the flowers blooming luxuriantly, but there are also many varieties, and the continuous flowers are open, which is dazzling to see. I also want to see it. ”

Ma Gonggong hurriedly said: "If the mother wants to go, the old slave will go back to the palace to make arrangements." ”

Mo Yu stopped his movements and said, "No, flower appreciation is about the state of mind." There were a bunch of guards who went to enjoy the flowers, and it was someone else who admired me, not me. Let's just pretend to be ordinary pilgrims. But seeing the worry on Ma Gonggong's face, he hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You don't have to worry about it, some guards are following." ”

I wanted to look left and right, but I didn't see anyone, and I wondered: "Niangniang, where are the people?" How I didn't see it. ”

Mo Yu raised his head, pointed to the front, and said, "Na, it's inside!" ”

"Oh, I see. Niangniang returns to Ning, safety must be very important, where Niangniang goes, the master will definitely send someone to follow. ”

Mo Yu nodded approvingly, this girl is getting smarter and smarter. Hearing Ma Gonggong say, "Then the old slave is relieved." But this nursing home has never been as reliable as the Yulin Army! ”

"Oh, Ma Gonggong, you can put a hundred hearts! Niangniang can also martial arts......" wanted to talk about it, but the sleeve was pulled by Moyu, and he realized that he almost broke it, so he hurriedly changed: "Besides, I can also do martial arts, I can protect my mother." ”

Ma Gonggong looked up and down and shook his head in disagreement. "Cut, if you know kung fu, I'm still a master!"

Mo Yu smiled and said, "Okay, if Gonggong Ma is really worried, you will go to General Yun's mansion in a while and borrow two people from him." I don't think he would mind. ”

Ma Gonggong thought that this was also a good idea, and when the mother was settled, he would go to the Cloud Commander's Mansion for a while.

As he spoke, the door was opened from within, and a crowd poured out of it. The leaders include the old lady, Ji Gangyang and Ji Boyuan, followed by the concubines of the Yuan family and Ji Gangyang, the second lady Ji Jade, the third lady Ji Mingzhu, and the large and small, men and women of the Ji Mansion house slaves.

The courtyard has already placed an incense case and spread red satin, which is probably arranged in a hurry! Ji Gangyang and Ji Boyuan walked out of the door, came to the steps and knelt down, and shouted: "Minister Ji Gangyang and his son, the inner family welcomes Concubine Li, and Concubine Li's mother is blessed and healthy." ”

Mo Yu was a little uncomfortable, and his father knelt down for himself. Before, she was the only one who watched him play with her from above, but now, she looked down at the top of his head, and there was never a sense of smugness. "Get up!"

Ji Gangyang's father and son thanked him, got up, and said: "The minister didn't know that Niangniang was coming, and he failed to prepare everything, and he asked Niangniang to atone for his sins." ”

"I'm just a concubine, I come back from the palace to live for a few days, there is no need to make the whole city know. It's what it used to be! Engraved in the arrangement, you are not comfortable, and I am not comfortable. ”

This was said extremely explicit and harsh, without mercy, but on the autumn morning, Ji Gangyang's forehead was sweating. If Moyu came back alone, it wouldn't be fine. But she is with Ma Gonggong, so the meaning is different, who is Ma Gonggong, that is the emperor's person! Ji Boyuan looked at his embarrassed father, hurriedly diverted the topic, made a "please" posture sideways, bowed down and said, "Niangniang, please come into the house." ”

Mo Yu did not shirk, climbed the stairs, and slowly walked into this gate. She only walked through this gate twice, the first time was on the day of her wedding, and the second time was today, this is not just a door, it is a symbol of status, the meaning of its existence, and even more valuable than everyone in the house.

"Welcome Concubine Li." This voice was shouted by the masters in the Ji Mansion.

"Welcome Concubine Li." This voice was shouted by the house slaves in the Ji Mansion.

Standing in front of the incense case, Moyu looked at everyone who was prostrate on the ground. This battle is even more spectacular than what she saw in the palace, perhaps, here, she is the most powerful person! Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

The masters in the front row stood up one after another, and then the house slaves could get up. Ji Gangyang and his son have returned to the ranks of the female dependents, bowing their heads and saying nothing. The old lady then said: "Niangniang came in such a hurry, and she did not make a decree in advance, and the house is very well prepared. ”

Saying this, feelings or her sin? "Mrs. Lao was busy in the morning, it was my fault. But it doesn't have to be so troublesome, I like to keep it simple, just have a place for me to stay for two days. Why don't you see Second Young Master Ji? ”

Ji Gangyang bowed down and explained: "Zhong Ting left a book a few months ago and ran to the battlefield. ”

When you went to the battlefield, why didn't you tell her before? Are you afraid that she will sue Ji Gangyang? In fact, there is no need to be careful, she supports his choice, people live for a lifetime, and it is comfortable to be able to decide one thing independently. "There's nothing wrong with the battlefield, as long as he likes it."

The old lady hurriedly bowed down and said, "That's what Niangniang said." The old body has been letting people clean Mo Lanxuan, and the mother can move in at any time. "Fortunately, after Mo Yu left, she also asked Mo Lanxuan to be cleaned every day, otherwise, it would be troublesome. She can't return to Ning, and she has to wait for someone to clean up her room!

"Okay, thank you. I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if the old lady is in good health? ”

"With the blessing of my mother, everything is fine with my old body."

"That's good, it's late autumn, the old lady needs to add more clothes and take care of her body."

"Thank you for your concern."

Mo Yu really cares about this old lady, and she can't talk about any deep feelings. But in this Ji Mansion, the person she trusts the most, except for Ji Zhongting, is this old lady.

Ji Gangyang, who was standing in front, saw that the greetings between the ancestors and grandchildren were almost over, so he bowed down and said, "Niangniang, please move to the ancestral hall." ”

She is now the emperor's concubine, a person with a title, and when she returned to her parents' home, she naturally wanted to open an ancestral hall to worship her ancestors in order to comfort the kindness of her ancestors and protect her children and grandchildren. Mo Yu nodded slightly, followed behind the old lady and Ji Gangyang, walked in front of the Yuan family and Ji Boyuan, and slowly walked towards the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is built on the north side of the Kifu, and it can be said that it is one south and one north from the main gate, and it is far away. The group walked for at least two quarters of an hour before reaching their destination.

When everyone arrived, the main gate of the ancestral hall had been opened, and the housekeeper Ah Fu took a few people to wait in the courtyard, and when he saw Moyu coming in, he knelt down and shouted: "Welcome Concubine Li." ”

Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

The butler got up and heard the old man "Let's start!" After the command, he shouted: "Open the ancestral hall and enter." ”

Mo Yu walked in front and led everyone in, of course, only she could enter the ancestral hall, the old lady, Ji Gangyang, the Yuan family and Ji Boyuan and Ji Feiyu, as well as the housekeeper Ji who acted as a ceremonial official. Others are not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, so they can only stand outside and bow down.

"Kneel."

The futon had already been placed in front of the desk, and everyone bent and knelt on the futon.

"Bye."

Put your hands together, bow once, bow again, bow three times.

"Up."

Then get up, close your eyes and pray for the blessing of your ancestors.

"Incense."

Some people have already handed the lit incense pillars to everyone, and inserted them into the incense burner one by one according to their status and dignity level. Mo Yu looked up at the tablet at the end of the first row, the seat of the Jimen Xu family. A few simple words prove that there was once a woman who existed. Mother, where are you now, are you lonely?

After the incense, this ancestor worship is over. Ji Gangyang stepped forward and said, "Niangniang has worked hard all the way, let's go back and rest first!" ”

Mo Yu nodded, it was indeed a little tiring to walk for so long. "Thank you." Then he said to Steward Ji behind him: "Steward Ji, please ask people to clean up a few more rooms in Mo Lanxuan, so that my entourage can rest in peace." ”

Steward Ji said respectfully: "The slave has already made it happen, please let the lady move." ”

The group returned to Mo Lanxuan in a grand way, and Mo Yu still lived in the original master bedroom. What the old lady said was true, she often had the house cleaned, and even the things were placed exactly as they were when she left.

The old lady stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is exactly the same as when Niangniang left, Niangniang can live with peace of mind." ”

Mo Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, old lady, I'm very satisfied." ”

"In the evening, a banquet will be held in the lobby to catch the wind and wash the dust for the mother, please be sure to move."

"I see."

"So, what else do you need?"

Mo Yu looked around and couldn't think of anything else needed, so he shook his head and said, "I don't need it for the time being." ”

"Okay, let's not disturb my mother's rest, farewell."

"Walk slowly."

She used to talk to them, it was alienation. Now they speak to her, and it is respectful. Mo Yu reluctantly turned around and entered the back room, Biyue poured tea and said dissatisfiedly: "Niangniang, this is too simple." ”

Mo Yu took the tea and took a sip, the tea was hot, it should have been sent in a hurry! I don't know if it was arranged by the Yuan family or the old lady. "If you don't get used to it, you'll have to settle for two days! Ma Gonggong hasn't complained yet, what are you complaining about? "They are the old men in the palace, and they probably haven't seen any master live so coldly!

Ma Gonggong hurriedly bowed down and smiled: "Ouch, master, the slave doesn't dare." Then he reproached Biyue and said: "You are really, our master didn't say anything, you are expensive." ”

Biyue didn't follow, and replied: "Hey, Ma Gonggong, I'm for your good, you see that you are also old, you should live better and enjoy the blessings, otherwise, the wrinkles on your face will grow faster." ”

Ma Gonggong touched his forehead in fright and asked, "Is it?" Do I have a lot of wrinkles on my face? ”

"Hey, there are already several." Biyue said as she stretched out her index finger and scratched her forehead a few times, as if it was really something.

However, although Ma Gonggong was surprised, he quickly reacted and shouted: "You dead girl, and you are bullying my old man again." ”

In fact, Ma Gonggong is not old at all, he is about forty years old. He has the ability to serve the people of the previous emperor, and after the death of the first emperor, he served the current emperor, calling him an old man, because he has served two generations of emperors and has profound qualifications.

Mo Yu saw that they were making a fuss, so he changed the topic and said, "Okay, you don't have to fight." Ma Gonggong, please go to the Yun Consulate's house. ”

Ma Gonggong patted his head and exclaimed: "Oh, what Niangniang reminds me is that you don't say that the old slave has forgotten about this!" The old slave went out first, and you have a good rest. ”

"Well, go ahead! Be careful on the road. ”

After Grandpa Ma left, Mo Yu turned his head and looked at the silent Xiang Rong beside him, this girl usually talks the most, why is this so quiet. "What's the matter, who made our family want to upset the girl, there is not a single smile."

wanted to pout, and said unhappily: "Niangniang, let's come back this time, I feel that many people have changed, the old lady and the old man talk strangely, and even the sisters who used to play well with me don't talk to me very much." ”

Mo Yu's gaze shifted from Xiang Rong's body to Yunsheng's body on the side, and said, "Everyone will change. Now our identities are different, they are not talking to their granddaughter or daughter, but to Concubine Li of Zhou State. They have nothing but detachment and respect for us, which is humility. ”

"But whether it's a granddaughter, a daughter or Concubine Li, aren't they all mothers? I really don't understand. ”

Mo Yu looked at the colorful fallen leaves outside the window, rubbed the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "It's different, the name is different, which means that the benefits you can provide are not the same." You're still young and don't understand yet, but when you grow up, you'll know. However, I hope you never grow up, like you are now, to be a simple and happy girl. ”

"I don't want to be a girl, I don't want to grow up!"

When you grow up, you will mature, you will know what is the trade-off of interests, and you will do whatever it takes for your own ends, even at the expense of other people's lives. It's really nice to be like this now.
