Out of the kitchen, past the bedroom, and then out, is the hall, that is, the front yard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info all kinds of medicinal herbs are planted in the front yard, the end of the courtyard is the living room, two rows of tables and chairs are scattered, a table on the hall, two chairs are placed on both sides, there is an ink landscape painting, there is no other decoration besides.

When Mo Yu entered the hall, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the seat on the right, drinking tea. Seeing Mo Yu come in, he hurriedly put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and took a step forward, bowed and saluted: "The old slave has seen the eldest lady." ”

Because there is also a young lady in the Ji Mansion, who is younger than Mo Yu, the housekeeper calls her "Miss". Mo Yu gave a handful of hands and said, "Get up!" Yunshang, go make a pot of tea. Then he walked to the main hall and sat down. Only then did I find that there was not only one housekeeper in the hall, but there were also five small servants standing on the right side, but there were no usual materials, and Moyu looked at the housekeeper suspiciously. "Every month is the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, why is Steward Ji here today?"

"Back to the eldest lady, the old slave is here today, isn't it...... It's not ......" Steward Ji turned around and couldn't say a complete sentence after a long time. Picked up his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Mo Yu raised her head, feeling a little bad in her heart. "Since you haven't figured out how to say it, let's wait until you're done!" After saying that, he stood up and gestured to leave.

The housekeeper took a step to the right, blocked Moyu's way, and said stubbornly: "Back to the eldest lady, the old slave is indeed in trouble this time." The emperor is in this year's draft, and the second lady in our house is also on the list, but ...... But ......"

She had heard Yetian talk about this matter, since she had been selected, with the strength of Ji Fu, it was not difficult to enter the palace safely and steadily, could there be any changes in this? At this time, Yunshang came in with tea, first brought a cup to Moyu, then poured a cup for the housekeeper, and finally led the rest of the room out.

Mo Yu picked up the tea and sniffed it lightly, without any waves in her eyes. "But what is it, say it!" But don't let her second sister not want to enter the palace, let her go back to replace her!

The butler took the tea and placed it on the table. "However, a few days ago, the second lady had chickenpox, and she hasn't gotten better yet. The doctor said that even if it is healed, there will be a scar on his face, and it will not fade within half a year. ”

"It's just that she has a scar, and besides, this scar will be fine in half a year, so wouldn't it be better if you sent her in half a year?" This thing came to her, and it didn't help!

"It's not as simple as the eldest lady thinks. This time, the second lady entered the palace, the day and hour were calculated, the queen mother and the emperor attached great importance to it, once it was missed, half a year later, it would be difficult for the emperor to think of the second miss of the Ji family. "There are so many women in the capital, how could the emperor think of a woman who was defeated.

Presumably these two young ladies entered the palace, the queen mother and the people of the Ji family have done their homework in front of the emperor, once something goes wrong, the emperor is not to blame, and after half a year, he will remember that he still has a woman who has not married, and probably will not remember what she looks like! But this chickenpox can't be controlled by anyone, and the emperor really doesn't give him any affection?

Mo Yu plucked the tea leaves floating on the upper layer and asked, "According to the ability of the Ji family, it is not difficult to think of a way. Or now you can make the second lady leave a good impression in the emperor's heart, and after half a year, you can also let her get the emperor's favor. You came to me and told me what was the use, and I couldn't help me. ”

Steward Ji's heart trembled like a sieve, Yangchun March was still a little cold, but fine beads of sweat kept coming out of his back. "What do you mean...... Be...... It is to let the eldest lady enter the palace. ”

The lid of the tea leaf slipped from his hand with a "ding" sound, and Moyu looked up at the housekeeper in front of him in disbelief. She heard her right, and asked her to enter the palace. Mo Yu sneered: "Butler Ji is joking with me? ”

"The lord asked the eldest lady to enter the palace instead of the second lady." The tone is loud and unquestionable. Steward Ji raised his hand again and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and a large area of water stains were smudged on his dark blue sleeves.

Mo Yu looked at the housekeeper for a long time, wanting to see a hint of joke from the old man. Half a cup of tea had passed, and she still saw the butler with his head down. Mo Yu closed her eyes and sneered in her heart, is this the family affection of a wealthy family?

After a long time, Mo Yu calmed down the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Since you have made a big show to let the emperor know the second lady, there must be her name in the palace, corresponding to her portrait, then when I enter the palace, isn't it a bully?" ”

"Don't worry about this matter, the Queen Mother will arrange it."

Mo Yu suddenly realized. Yes, the sister of the husband of her father's current original sister is the current queen mother.

The queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, and the former emperor is not the emperor's biological father. After the emperor ascended the throne, in order to show his kindness to the emperor, he still regarded the emperor's original partner Chai as the queen mother, and the Guo clan of the emperor also received honorary rewards, but it was just a false name and no real power. The queen mother was afraid that the emperor would disregard secular morality one day and depose her, so she attracted the Ji family, a big backer.

Profit grabbing is really a terrible motivation, some people win all the money under this motivation, and some people are brittle under this motivation. But no one is willing to give up, and would rather press family affection, affection, love, identity, status, money, reputation and even more, but also gamble, and if it doesn't succeed, it will become a benevolent.

"Don't worry, the lord means that the eldest lady will enter the palace first, and after half a year, the second lady will enter the palace when she is sick, and when the eldest lady wants to stay, the queen mother can arrange it."

In other words, let Moyu enter the palace to occupy a place for the Ji family first, it doesn't matter who this person is, the important thing is that half a year later, the second lady of the Ji family enters the palace, and that is the main event. That doesn't make sense, does it? Since the second lady always wants to enter the palace, it is superfluous for her to enter the palace first, why? "Can you tell me who came up with the idea?"

......The housekeeper was very embarrassed, he knew, but he didn't dare to say it!

"If you don't dare to say it, I'll have to know sooner or later. It's just that I have to remind you that you tell me and I know that the ending is not the same. Mo Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, didn't swallow it immediately, and circled around his mouth, his thoughts running.

"The old slave really doesn't dare to say it." Steward Ji bowed his head and said.

Since he didn't dare to say it after repeated questioning, this person's identity must be very high. The Ji family arranged it like this, unless, the Ji family and the queen mother have some ulterior secrets, and the people of the Ji family must enter the palace now to be the emperor's concubine and be the introduction of their secrets.

Without speaking or moving, Steward Ji just stood there quietly, waiting for the eldest lady above to think. After a long time, a whisper came from overhead. "If I don't go back, what will you do to take me back?"

Hearing the question, Steward Ji raised his somewhat sore neck and replied: "The eldest lady has always been a member of the Ji Mansion, and she should contribute to the rise and fall of the Ji Mansion. The lord naturally hoped that the eldest lady would go back, and the lady asked the old slave to bring this. As he spoke, he handed over the things in his hand.

Mo Yu took it, spread out the rags in his palm, and a cyan earring came into view. At first glance, she knew that these earrings were bargains, and after a long time, the earrings had been discolored and cracked, but she still recognized the earrings at a glance. The palm of her hand immediately clenched into a fist, and her nails sank into the flesh, and they were broken violently, but she didn't feel any pain, and at the moment she had nothing but anger in her heart.

Ten years ago, someone once told her that when she was 15 years old, he would wear these earrings for her. Ten years have passed, and her time has long passed, but where is the person who promised to put her earrings on at this moment?

"Miss?" The butler asked worriedly when he saw that her face was as cold as iron.

"Get out."

Just one word, but it made the butler's back cold, he dared to believe that if he stayed for this sip of tea, the person in front of him would immediately tear him to pieces. Although this eldest lady usually doesn't meet many times and doesn't talk much, in his opinion, this tepid and unsmiling eldest lady is definitely not a master to be messed with. So, without saying a word more, he strode out of the living room with bated breath, and as soon as he walked outside the hall, he heard the sound of the teacup breaking behind him.

Yunshang was standing outside, and when she saw Steward Ji coming out, she was about to step forward to ask, when she suddenly heard the sound of the teacup breaking in the house, thinking that something had happened to Moyu, and she raised her foot and wanted to rush into the house, but was stopped by Steward Ji.

"Hey, don't go in, let's let your young lady be quiet for a while!" The butler glanced into the hall and persuaded.

Yunshang was very puzzled, "What the hell is going on, what are you here for?" ”

"It's inconvenient for me to tell you about this matter, don't ask if you are interested, your young lady is angry now!"

"Steward Ji, you tell Yunshang honestly, did you ask Miss to do anything embarrassing?"

Steward Ji looked up at the sky outside the wall, I don't know why, the sky here is always better than the one in Ji's mansion. This is indeed a difficult thing for the eldest lady, and he has seen too much family affection in the mansion, and his heart has long been numb. But for some reason, for this eldest lady, he felt a little sympathy and unbearable, and even guilt. Could it really be because he personally rescued her from the fire?

"Steward Ji, you speak!" Yunshang saw that Steward Ji was stunned, and said anxiously.

Hearing the sound of talking, Steward Ji came to his senses and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

"But, Miss, she ......"

"Alright, don't say any more." Steward Ji interrupted Yunsheng's words, and then walked to the guest room next to him. Let him be this wicked man, is it easy for him?

On the left side of the living room, there are several guest rooms, and when people come to the Kifu, those who can't go back that night will stay and leave the next day. After a long time, Moyu asked people to vacate those rooms and use them as guest rooms, and Ji Fu lived there when he came again.

Yunshang looked at Steward Ji who was walking away, and wanted to enter the hall but didn't dare to enter, so he had to wait outside the door.

After about an hour, Yunshang saw Mo Yu coming out, and the whole person was stunned. In her impression, her young lady has always been gentle and elegant, although she doesn't talk much, but she is very quiet, and she will not see sadness, sadness, resentment, and despair, and the occasional helplessness is just a spoiling of Xiangrong.

"Miss?"

But now, her young lady walked past her, without saying a word or giving her a look. Just like that, I walked to the bedroom without a soul, and then lay on the chaise longue under the window, sleeping peacefully with my eyes closed, with no peaceful sleep on my face, and more helplessness and despair under the thick eyelashes.

"Miss?"

From beginning to end, Yunshang didn't wait for a word from her young lady. I had to take a blanket and cover her, and then sat aside and boiled tea, watching the white gas rising from the lid of the pot to less and less to more, changing one pot after another, but her young lady was like a sleeping kitten, and there was no sign of waking up.

What did Steward Ji say to Miss?

When the lamp was in hand, Xiang Rong jumped into the courtyard from the outside and shouted happily, "Miss, Miss." ”

Yunshang heard the voice, hurriedly walked to the door and made a silent gesture, glanced back at the person lying on the chaise longue, saw that she was not disturbed, put her mind at ease, and shouted with laughter: "What are you yelling about, be careful of disturbing Miss." ”

"Disturbing Miss?" I can't figure it out, didn't I say that there was a dinner party tonight, and the front yard was ready, so I waited for the young lady to pass. "What's wrong with Miss?"

"Miss sleeps ......" Yunshang was about to explain, when she turned her head and saw Moyu who had already sat up, she hurriedly walked to her side, poured the brewed tea, and handed it to Moyu. The young lady finally woke up. ”

Mo Yu put on her shoes, took the tea in Yun Shang's hand, and said, "I've worked hard for you today, I'm scared of you!" ”

It really frightened her, in this homecoming garden, the young lady is the backbone, if something happens to her, what can they do? Putting these aside, Yunshang has been serving this young lady for ten years, and although she is called a master and servant, she is like a sister, so she is naturally worried when she sees her like this.

Xiang Rong also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and timidly walked to Mo Yu's side, and said uneasily: "I'm sorry, Miss, I disturbed your rest." ”

Mo Yu smiled, handed the teacup to Yun Shang, patted Xiang Rong's hand and said, "You didn't disturb me, I just woke up." Isn't dinner ready, you came to call me over? ”

"Mmmmmm, just wait for Miss, tonight, Uncle Chen made a lot of delicious food." The little girl kept nodding.

"Okay, then you go first, I'll change my clothes and go over."

Xiang Rong obediently ran out, probably to see what kind of delicious dish Uncle Chen had made again.

Mo Yu got up at this time, took off his coat, took the clothes in Yun Shang's hand and put them back on, brushed his hair, saw Yun Shang's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "I know you have something to ask, but I really don't want to talk today, I'll tell you later." I'm fine, I'll be fine. ”

Yunshang picked up the croissant comb and combed Moyu's hair. "Miss, no matter what happens in the future, Yunshang will be by your side and will never leave."

"That's not good, you're the same age as me, you've been delayed for a few years, you can't delay it in the future, when you go down the mountain, I'll ask someone to tell you about your family, and when you have a home, maybe you will forget about me when the time comes, haha." A few days ago, Yetian was discussing her marriage with her, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

Yunshang was a little unhappy, "Miss joked about Yunshang again, Yunshang doesn't marry anyone, if Miss stays on this mountain for the rest of her life, Yunshang will accompany you for a lifetime." ”

Staying in the mountains for the rest of my life, I am afraid that this wish will not come true.

Mo Yu picked up the scissors on the table and gently cut off the wick. The candle flame flickered and calmed down. At this moment, a moth pounced, and it was too late for Mo Yu to save it, and the smell of charred corpses was already emitted in the air, like the smell of ten years ago, terrifying and disgusting.

Moths put out the fire and kill themselves. The moth pounced on it because it saw the light and felt it was fresh, and never thought about losing its life. But what about her, knowing that the palace was also a sea of fire, but she still had to listen to other people's arrangements strangely and throw herself inside, because she had no choice.

"Miss, are you alright?" Behind him, Yunsheng's worried voice came.

Mo Yu shook her head, "It's okay. Let's go, they must be in a hurry. "A person should live a good life, even if it is to put out a fire, she must die worthwhile.
