CHAPTER XXXVI

When Sun left, Hu put his arms around Mo Shu'an and said, "You were frightened just now?" ”

"Nope." Mo Shu'an leaned on her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "There are only a few." ”

Hu sighed in his heart, and only hoped that his daughter's family affairs would go smoothly.

Mo Junting rushed back when he got the news, and when he entered the house, he saw his mother and sister sitting together talking, and he didn't care about drinking water and asked directly, "Did the concubine call the girls of those families?" ”

Mo Shu'an said, "Brother, sit down and rest." ”

Mo Junting took a deep breath, then sat down and poured water without Yahuan pouring two glasses in a row before saying, "What's the matter?" ”

Hu said, "In addition to Sister An, I also invited girls from other three provinces. ”

Mo Shu'an explained the matter carefully, and saw Mo Junting's expression change and said, "I know, mother doesn't have to worry too much, just like my sister said, I'm afraid that the girl of the Zhou family is more in line with the concubine." ”

Hu Shi was completely relieved when he heard his son say this, "The Lin family's affairs are ......"

"According to the day, Xuemin should have arrived home, even if the road was slower when he took Mrs. Lin back to Beijing, he should be able to arrive within a month." Mo Junting said, "I'll write a letter, and I'll send it quickly." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver it to him." Mo Shu'an asked with some hesitation, even if he hurried up, I am afraid that when he sent it over, he would be on the way back to Beijing, and it would be exactly the same as the fork.

Mo Junting spoke, "But be prepared." "If the letter is really delivered to Lin Qingyang, I'm afraid that my sister's family affair Mo Junting will have to think about it again.

Mo Shu'an also knew what Mo Junting meant, so she didn't say anything more.

The three of them had a tacit understanding not to mention these things, and when Liu's mother took Hu's things over, Hu simply took Liu's mother to the kitchen and prepared some food for the two children, Mo Junting and Mo Shu'an glanced at each other, the two of them entered the study, and the smile on their faces disappeared after the door was closed, Mo Junting said in a deep voice, "Sister, this time ...... enter the palace"

Mo Shu'an said, "Brother, don't worry, just like we analyzed, I'm afraid this marriage will fall on the Zhou family." ”

Mo Junting sighed, he didn't like such an uncertain thing the most, "No one can tell what the concubine thinks." ”

"It's not like we're making a false alarm." Mo Shu'an said.

Mo Junting shook his head, "We only think about the thoughts of the concubine, but we actually ignore the five princes. ”

Mo Shu'an and the five princes also have a relationship, although she didn't see the appearance of the five princes at all, but she remembered what the five princesses said to the five princes at that time, such an attitude, the five princes are either cowardly people or extremely tolerant people, "Brother thinks that the concubine is afraid that the concubine is afraid that the five princes are involved in the affairs of Puyang Temple, so she took the opportunity to choose a concubine to tempt?" ”

"Yes." Mo Junting said.

Mo Shu'an pondered for a moment and asked, "What does the elder brother think the concubine can take the opportunity to choose a concubine to test?" ”

Mo Junting actually couldn't think of it, so he didn't say it explicitly, Mo Shu'an said, "Actually, when my brother said this, I also think that the purpose of the four families chosen by the concubine is too obvious?" It's clear at a glance, but has other plans? ”

"And according to His Majesty's ...... to the concubine If the concubine really chooses someone, just let His Majesty make an order, and let someone take you into the palace, which is a big move. Mo Junting said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid she has other arrangements." ”

Mo Shu'an said, "Actually, I think my brother may be thinking too much, and the concubine may also want to see with her own eyes to be at ease, the concubine and the eighth prince...... The situation of the five princes is not worth the concubine's spending too much thought and means. ”

Mo Junting looked at Mo Shu'an and said, "Isn't it contradictory that you say this?" If there is really no purpose, what does the concubine bother to see and confirm? ”

Mo Shu'an pursed her lips and didn't speak, Mo Junting frowned and said, "Did you think of something?" ”

"Brother." Mo Shu'an hesitated for a long time, but looked at Mo Junting's eyes, sighed and said, "I think it may be that I am thinking too much, and the concubine may just be doing it for His Majesty." ”

"Maybe killing two birds with one stone has another purpose, isn't it?" Mo Junting asked rhetorically, "Now the prince and the eighth prince still live in the palace, although the eighth prince has a prince's mansion outside, but because of His Majesty's favor, he often stays in the palace, and the prince also lives in the East Palace because of his identity, and although the queen is now in name only, but in the end, the queen's background is the biggest advantage, although His Majesty has a lot of dislike, but because of the ancestral training of the Yong Dynasty, the queen and the prince still did not move. ”

The rules specially left by the founding emperor of the Yong Dynasty, the position of the prince is established, that is, in the case of having a son-in-law, the son-in-law needs to be set up as the prince, and when there is no son-in-law, the eldest son must be set up as the prince, unless the prince is not virtuous and makes a big mistake before he can choose a virtuous person from the rest of the heirs.

If it weren't for such regulations, according to Emperor Yan's love for the concubine and the eighth prince, I am afraid that the East Palace would have changed hands long ago, and it was precisely because of this that the queen was willing to swallow her anger, and was pressed by a concubine all day long, and even handed over the power to be in charge of the harem.

The crown prince also knows this, so he has been keeping a low profile, and he is careful not to put the handle in the hands of the concubine.

Mo Shu'an said, "Brother, if the prince is a dull person, I'm afraid he will be ...... long ago So even if the concubine wants to take this opportunity to deal with the prince, I'm afraid it will not be easy. ”

Mo Junting finally expressed the worry in his heart, "What we can think of, others can also think of, I'm afraid that the fire at the city gate will affect the pond fish." ”

Mo Shu'an didn't know, but there was no way, could she not go? Malinger? Even if she really made herself sick, as long as the imperial doctor came, I am afraid she would know what was going on, where could it be so coincidental, it turned out to be good, she fell ill as soon as she heard the summons of the concubine, so it is easy to be hated, Mo Shu'an is not afraid of affecting Mo Fu, but what about my brother and mother? So no matter how flustered Mo Shu is, he has to go.

Mo Junting said, "Report your illness." ”

"My brother knows it can't be done." Mo Shu'an said, "I can't be so selfish. ”

Mo Junting clenched his fists, he thought that the biggest obstacle to making his mother and sister happy was Mo Fu, but at that time he was confident that as long as he was given time, he would be able to surpass Mo Fu sooner or later, and then he would be able to take revenge on those who made his mother and sister suffer, but today, he realized that it was still not enough.

Mo Shu'an said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll be careful." ”

Mo Junting slowly exhaled and nodded.

When the Hu family prepared the meal, the expressions of the two brothers and sisters had recovered and calmed, and the three of them used the meal, and the Hu family helped Mo Shu'an take care of the luggage back to the Mo Mansion, as well as some small things that entered the palace, and the purse was too late to do, and the Hu family directly asked people to buy a lot of it back, and put broken silver and silver tickets without denominations in it, and then made it clear to Mo Shu'an one by one, and when Mo Shu'an entered the palace, it was good to bring it in to do some points.

At night, Hu Shi slept with Mo Shu'an, and when Mo Shu'an fell asleep at night, Hu Shi sighed slowly, and endured the tears of the day, she knew in her heart that things were as simple as Sister An said, her own children, she couldn't understand best, even if the table was calm and quiet, some small actions also revealed the thoughts in their hearts.

I'm afraid that there are other inside stories about the concubine, but the children are unwilling to say it, they don't want her to worry, and the Hu family can only pretend not to know, and when Sister An is sent back to the Mo Mansion tomorrow, the Hu family is ready to go back and beg his father and younger brother.

When Mo Shu'an woke up in the morning, Hu was no longer there.

Dong Qing waited for Mo Shu'an to freshen up, and whispered, "Madame woke up before dawn, checked the things that the girl was going to bring, and went to the kitchen to prepare for food." ”

Mo Shu'an nodded and didn't say anything.

Dong Qing asked, "Doesn't the girl really need to bring a few more people?" ”

"It's not for a fight." Mo Shu'an said with a smile, "When I entered the palace, I didn't know if I could bring someone around, it was enough to have you and Qiushi in Mofu, and I was more relieved that Chunhua and Xia Guo would stay on my brother's side." ”

Dong Qing didn't say anything more.

The people of Mofu came in a hurry, not long after breakfast, the people had already arrived, it was still yesterday's steward of the king, but this time the wife of the steward of the king also came, she brought some mother-in-law and maids to help carry Mo Shu'an's things onto the carriage, when they left the house, they were afraid that the two carriages were not enough, who would have thought that Mo Shu'an's luggage was not even full of a carriage.

Mo Junting personally sent Mo Shu'an to Mo Mansion, Mo Peng was rare to wait for them at home, Mo Junting and Mo Shu'an saw Mo Peng as soon as they entered the mansion, Mo Junting saluted and shouted uncle, Mo Peng's face immediately changed, he only felt that Mo Junting was embarrassed, he was still thinking about whether he should agree if Mo Junting called his father, or teach him a lesson first to let him know that he had been passed out and then come down, but he never thought that Mo Junting came directly to say uncle, which made Mo Peng choke in his throat.

Mo Zhiteng and Mao were also there, but Mo Jingying didn't come out, Mao hugged Mo Shu'an very affectionately and said, "Has my sister eaten?" ”

"Yes." Mo Shu'an said softly.

Mo Peng snorted and said, "When you enter the palace in two days, pay attention to your identity, don't lose the face of the Mo family." ”

Mo Junting's face sank, but Mo Shu'an didn't feel anything, and said, "Yes, father." ”

Mo Peng glared at Mo Junting again, and left directly.

Mo Zhiteng said, "I got a new calligraphy and painting, my cousin came to see it, and if I liked it, I gave it to my cousin." ”

Mo Junting wanted to agree, not for anything else, even if he didn't want to deal with Mo Zhiteng and his wife, but his sister would have to live in Mo Mansion for a few days, and Mo Mansion was now housekeeper Mo Zhiteng's wife.

Mo Shu'an said gently, "Big brother, my cousin has to go back to the academy today." ”

Mo Zhiteng frowned.

Mao said with a smile, "You just give the things to your cousin, your cousin's business matters." ”

Mo Zhiteng glanced at his wife, and then asked someone to get the calligraphy and paintings, Mo Junting thanked him and took it, Mo Shu'an said, "Sister-in-law, you are heavy, I'll send my cousin." ”

Mao responded with a smile, and Mo Shu'an accompanied Mo Junting outside, and Mo Junting said, "It's really not used to hearing you call me cousin." ”

"I feel awkward too." Mo Shu'an whispered.

Mo Junting said, "You don't have to help me refuse in the future, Mo Zhiteng is not a generous person." ”

Mo Shu'an lowered her eyes slightly and said, "My brother's knowledge is not to have fun with people like that, it's okay, they don't dare to offend me for the time being, just remember to take me home after leaving the palace." ”

"Definitely."
