CHAPTER XXXII

On the day of Old Man Hu's birthday, Mo Peng did not come, but Mo Zhiteng came to celebrate his birthday with his wife Mao, Mo Zhiteng didn't want to come, but Mao persuaded him a few words, even if Mo Peng and Xiao Hu reconciled, his original partner was still the girl of the Hu family, the daughter of Old Man Hu, Old Man Hu was also Mo Zhiteng's serious grandfather, and it would be impossible to say that Mo Zhiteng still needed Old Man Hu's help in the future.

Mo Zhiteng is already a soft-eared person, since Mo Jingying was retired and returned home, and Mo Junting was adopted, Mo Zhiteng felt that only Mao's interests were the same as his interests, and Mao's belly had his flesh and blood, and the relationship between the two of them became better and better, even when he saw Mo Junting this time, Mo Zhiteng's attitude towards Mo Junting was much better, after all, Mo Junting had no interests with him.

After the Mao family gave the old man Hu's birthday, he was taken to the backyard to be with the female dependents, Mo Shu'an was by the side of the Hu family, and when he saw the Mao family, he pursed his lips and smiled and greeted him, with an attitude close to nature, as if nothing had happened at the beginning, and they were still a family, "Sister-in-law." ”

Such an attitude made several female relatives in the house have a much higher evaluation of Mo Shu'an, they are such a big family, no matter how bad the trouble is at home, the appearance must be glamorous, simply put, if the arm is broken, it must be hidden in the sleeve, if Mo Shu'an really ignores the Mao family or embarrasses her, these female relatives will feel that Mo Shu'an is ignorant.

Mao took the initiative to hold Mo Shu'an's arm, and after greeting everyone with a smile, he sat down together, Mo Shu'an asked someone to bring warm water to Mao, after all, she was pregnant, and some things were not suitable for use, Mao took two sips before laughing, "It's still my sister considerate." ”

Mo Shu'an smiled and didn't speak, Mao now calls Hu his aunt, and his attitude is much more submissive than when he didn't leave.

After a conversation, Mao suddenly whispered, "I'm a little depressed, can my sister go out for a walk with me?" ”

Mo Shu'an wasn't sure if Mao really wanted to go out to breathe or if he had something to say to her, so he asked with some concern, "Sister-in-law is unwell?" ”

Mao didn't say anything, just gently shook Mo Shu'an's hand, Mo Shu'an lowered his eyes slightly and understood, this was to find an excuse to have something to say to her, Mo Shu'an said to Chunhua, and asked Chunhua to say hello to Hu when Hu was free, and then accompanied Mao out.

Because of her pregnancy, Mao walked a little slowly, and after going out, Mao asked, "Is there a quiet place to talk?" ”

"There's a small courtyard over there, and the scenery is nice and clean. ”

Mao said, "Okay." ”

Mo Shu'an led Mao to the small courtyard, and Mao suddenly sighed, "My sister looks very good." Today, Mo Shu'an is wearing a dress with a hundred butterflies and flowers, wearing a begonia pearl step shake and a glass hairpin, his expression is calm and calm, but there is more girlish between his eyebrows and eyes, Mao can't remember what Mo Shu'an looked like when he was in Mofu, but he is sure that he will never be as eye-catching as he is now.

Mao sighed in his heart, many people said that Mo Jingying's appearance was amazing, but Mao felt that compared to it, Mo Shu'an was superior, but when he was in Mo Mansion, he deliberately kept a low profile.

There is a pavilion in the small courtyard, and when Mo Shu'an and Mao arrived, the chairs in the pavilion had been cushioned, and there were a few fruits that Hu liked on the small table. ”

Mo Shu'an smiled and said gently, "Sister-in-law, sit down and rest." ”

Yahuan helped Mao sit down, Mo Shu'an poured two glasses of water with his own hands, and then sat next to Mao, Mao looked at Yahuan beside Mo Shu'an, which had been with Mo Shu'an since Mo Fu's time, and thought it was Mo Shu'an's cronies, so he didn't mention letting people quit, Mao said as if chatting, "Sister Ying was a little unwell some time ago, what to eat and vomit." Mao pricked a plum with a skewer and put it in his mouth, the plum tasted sweet and sour, "I also like to eat something sour." ”

Mo Shu'an didn't understand at first, but after looking at Mao's appearance, and then comparing what she said, she was stunned If she remembers correctly, didn't Mo Jingying just have a miscarriage? Why is she pregnant again, the Zhao family is no longer there, so this child ...... Zhang's Saburo's?

Mao seemed to be chatting, "Although she was unwell during that time, she loved to go out very much, and she didn't know what to do, but after receiving the letter a few days ago, she called the doctor, and after the doctor prescribed medicine, Sister Ying became more seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed for a few days." ”

Mo Shu'an pinched the handle of the fan with his fingers, is this another miscarriage with medicine? Mo Jingying began to marry Zhang Jiazaburo under the pretext of using the child as a reason, but who knew that the plan was not successful, so she directly asked the doctor to drink the abortion pill.

Mao said, "Ten medicines and nine poisons, some things must not be drunk, and they are connected to ......" As if he was afraid that Mo Shu'an did not understand, Mao almost made it clear, "That kind of thing is very dangerous to women." ”

Mo Shuan lowered his head and did not speak.

Mao continued, "Although Sister Ying is recuperating in bed, she is not lonely, and she communicates with the outside every day. ”

Letterhead exchanges? Mo Shu'an thought about Mo Jingying's temperament, she was so strong that she only needed to show off and make people jealous, and she would never complain to others, but her plan failed, and she was afraid that she would have to write things down again, in fact, Mo Shu'an sometimes felt that Mo Jingying was used to hating her. Thinking about it like this, I can roughly guess the content of the letterhead, in the final analysis, it is to ruin her reputation, but Mo Shu'an feels that after Mo Jingying's efforts for so many years, the reputation of her and her mother is really not much better in Mo Jingying's circle, even if it is worse.

It's a pity that Mo Jingying didn't understand, both prosperity and loss, she and her mother's reputation are poor, and Mo Jingying's own is not much better, I'm afraid that even Mo Jingying's so-called little sisters, on the surface, comfort Mo Jingying, but they don't know what to say inside.

Mao suddenly said, "You are not young, if your aunt has any plans that are not easy to speak, you can just talk to me." ”

Mo Shu'an was a little puzzled about Mao's attitude, but he didn't miss anything on his face, and he didn't even mention the matter of the Lin family, but just said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern." ”

Mao ate two more plums before stroking his stomach and said, "Mothers always have to think more about their children." This can be regarded as an explanation of the behavior just now, "Even if Brother Ting succeeds in the heart of his husband, he is also the younger brother of his in-laws." ”

Mo Shu'an thought it was funny, I am afraid that it was because Mo Junting was passed out that Mo Zhiteng would treat him as a younger brother, but he said, "What my sister-in-law said is true." ”

Seeing that Mo Shu'an understood, Mao didn't mention it anymore, "Okay, let's go in." ”

In the palace, the concubine looked at the roster in her hand, "Why is this girl of the Liu family still not married at the age of nineteen?" ”

"Back to the master's words, the slave inquired and said that the Liu family is such a girl, she is very spoiled, and this girl has a high vision......"

The concubine didn't wait for anyone to speak, so she directly tore up the page and threw it to the ground, "How can such an old age be worthy of the fifth prince, besides, Brother Xun is still young, this person married and gave birth to a child, where is there still a way for Brother Xun to live." The implication is that the five princes are ready to take a younger age, not only the younger ones, but the best ones are weaker, although the five princes are disabled, it is impossible to win the throne, but the emperor and grandson can, and the Yong Dynasty is not without that kind of direct canonization of the emperor's grandson.

And you can't be favored at home, otherwise what if you give the five princes a boost.

The palace maid instantly understood what the concubine meant, and hurriedly said, "It's the slave maid who is not thoughtful." ”

The concubine casually threw the booklet on the body of the big palace maid, and the big palace maid directly tore off a few pages, and then held it in front of the concubine again, but the concubine didn't mean to take it, just leaned on the couch, "You say it next to you." ”

"Yes." The palace maid didn't need to read the booklet, she remembered the contents on it, "The four girls of the Yu family, fifteen years old, can't ...... because of moles on their faces."

"Yes." The concubine raised her eyebrows and looked over with some displeasure, "How can someone who is not good-looking be worthy of the fifth prince." ”

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and the concubine sighed, "Why are you so stupid, forget it, pick up that younger and beautiful look." ”

"The second girl of the Sun family, sixteen years old, has a good appearance, but because she fell into the water when she was a child, she has not been to menstruation so far."

"The second daughter of the second room of the Wang family, fourteen years old, has a good appearance, and her irritable temperament often scolds the maids around her."

“……”

The concubine didn't speak, after all, these shortcomings are too obvious, and after a little inquiry, she will know that it is not appropriate, what she wants to find for the fifth prince is the kind of girl who can even be said to be excellent on the surface, "Wait, Mo family?" ”

"The second girl of Mofu, from the steproom, because of the premature birth of the twins, is weak and rarely goes out, her parents are divorced, and now she lives with her step-brother and is retired by the Zhang family."

The concubine's eyes narrowed, "Retreat? ”

"The slave inquired, it was originally a marriage with Zhang Jiasan Lang, but Zhang Jia Saburo and the Mofu eldest girl had a head and tail, and the Mofu eldest girl was the wife of the Zhao family before she was divorced......"

The concubine didn't say anything after hearing this, "Go on." ”

"Yes."

After the palace maid finished talking about all the lists, the concubine looked at her nails at the sun, "Okay, let's go and inquire about the situation of the girls of Zheng, Chen, Mo, and Zhou." ”

"Yes."

In the Lin family village, Mrs. Lin looked at the letter in her hand, did not speak for a long time, and the mother-in-law next to her asked with some concern, "Madame, but where is it uncomfortable?" "When I received a letter from the young master on weekdays, Mrs. Lin was always full of joy, but today she had a sad face.

Mrs. Lin shook her head and didn't say anything, and her mother-in-law asked, "But what's wrong with the young master?" ”

"Not really." Mrs. Lin pursed her lower lip before she said, "It's a happy event, Brother Yang has a crush on a girl, and I went to Beijing to help propose marriage." ”

"But that girl is not good?"

Mrs. Lin said, "No, although his mother is a step-family, his father is indeed a county son, his maternal grandfather's family is a county earl, the son is the daughter's maternal uncle, and the sibling brother is a friend of Brother Yang, and his academic future is excellent." There is no trace of any bad in such a background, Brother Yang can be said to be high, but Qian Ma ......"

"It's a great event." Without waiting for Mrs. Lin to speak, Mother Qian smiled and said, "Congratulations to Madame." ”

"Qian Ma...... Originally, it was good that there was no news from the Cheng family, but now the Cheng family has sent a letter, how can this be good. Mrs. Lin said distressedly.

Mother Qian said directly, "Madam, the Cheng family forgot to believe in their righteousness at the beginning, the young master was young after the death of the master, and the young master was not mentioned to their family, but how did their family deal with it?" At first, I replied to my wife, but then I didn't care about it at all, and now I know that the young master is promising, but I have the shame to come to mention the marriage contract of the year, where is there such a good thing, besides, the lady also has to think about the future of the young master, and the young master will be an official in the future, don't you need help? ”
