Chapter 62

After Lin Qingyang left, Mo Junting went to Mr. Liu's courtyard, but when he entered the study, he found that it was not only Mr. Liu who was waiting inside, but also a man who looked similar to Mr. Liu's age, and that man was somewhat similar to Mr. Liu in appearance, I am afraid that he is Mr. Liu's relative.

Mo Junting saluted respectfully, and Mr. Liu said with a smile, "Mingbo came just in time, I was about to send someone to look for you." ”

"Sir." Mo Junting spoke, "But what do you have to tell the students?" ”

Mr. Liu didn't say anything, but just introduced, "This is the elder brother of my own family, you can call me uncle." ”

"Uncle Liu." Mo Junting said when he heard this.

"I mentioned you in the letter." Liu Rusheng's voice is a little low, although he is the same age as Mr. Liu, the two are completely different, Mr. Liu has a kind of elegance unique to literati, and Liu Rusheng has more calm, if Mr. Liu is like a breeze, then Liu Rusheng is more like a Taishan stone.

Mo Junting had already thought about it in his heart, in fact, Mr. Liu's words had already reminded him that this Uncle Liu was the one who wanted to see him.

Liu Rusheng looked at Mo Junting for a long time, and then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sit." ”

Mr. Liu knew that his brother was taking the school Mo Junting, and he didn't have much to say, after all, he was ashamed of the family, and the burden of the family was on the elder brother.

Liu Rusheng said, "You want to marry my niece." ”

Mo Junting said, "Yes." ”

Liu Rusheng pondered for a long time and said, "You are not suitable. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Liu looked at his brother suddenly, but Mo Junting's expression was as usual, Liu Rusheng sighed slowly and said, "You Gui wants to marry your daughter to you, and you promised never to take a concubine." ”

"Yes."

Liu Rusheng said, "But you two are not suitable. ”

Mr. Liu frowned, but did not interrupt although he was full of doubts, which showed that he believed in his brother.

Liu Rusheng glanced at his younger brother, and then spoke, "A woman's happiness is not just something you can give if you promise not to take a concubine. ”

Mo Junting pursed his lips.

Liu Rusheng said, "Do you know what kind of person my niece is like? ”

Mo Junting looked at Liu Rusheng, his eyes were sharp but with a kind of gloom, "I will give her happiness." ”

"I don't believe you." Liu Rusheng said without hesitation.

Mr. Liu couldn't help but say, "Mingbo is very committed. ”

Liu Rusheng explained, "It's not that I don't believe what he said, even you, a student, will definitely do what he says, just then your niece will definitely be happy?" ”

Mr. Liu wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute, Liu Rusheng said, "None of them are outsiders, invite your younger siblings and nieces over, I will only say it once today, and then leave it to you to choose." ”

"Okay." Mr. Liu let out a breath and got up and left the study.

Liu Rusheng asked, "What did you do to come here today?" ”

Mo Junting spoke, "Yes." ”

"Yesterday was your sister's return to the door." Liu Rusheng didn't go around in circles, "I want to come and see the fifth prince and your sister, what decision did you make?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Rusheng also showed a little tiredness on his face, "There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, how much ambition a person has, how much responsibility and even sacrifice." ”

Mo Junting's jaw tightened, and he looked at Liu Rusheng, who didn't say anything more.

Mr. Liu soon brought his wife and daughter over, Mo Junting got up and saluted, and waited for everyone to sit down before he sat down again, on the way over, Mr. Liu roughly said it, Mrs. Liu's expression was pensive, but Miss Liu showed a little unease.

Liu Rusheng said, "Mingbo might as well talk about his decision first." ”

Mo Junting closed his eyes, and then said, "I'...... He will not participate in the imperial examination for ten years. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Liu said, "Why? ”

Mo Junting said, "Sir, my sister is the fifth princess, even if I win the champion, what can I do?" ”

Mr. Liu didn't speak, and Mo Junting said, "I've thought about it carefully, the biggest possibility is that there is no me in the top three, or I really won the top prize, and I just ended up idle, not to mention anything else." ”

Liu Rusheng said, "So what do you think?" ”

"The Liu family does not have anyone who is an official in the court." Mo Junting spoke, "But the influence of the Liu family is not only among the mountains and wilderness. ”

Mr. Liu's face changed, but Liu Rusheng didn't move at all and said, "You can't do it, the hard work of the Liu family for generations has come to this, you can't wait that long." ”

"Yes." Mo Junting did not deny it, "The student is just an analogy. ”

Liu Rusheng said, "What about other than that? ”

Mo Junting took a deep breath, only feeling like he had punched the cotton, "The Eighth Prince intends to accept the girl of the Liu family as a side concubine." ”

After all, Mr. Liu's family is still there, Mo Junting can't say bluntly that he wants to accept Miss Liu, and Mrs. Liu's face changed and she looked at her husband.

Mr. Liu's heart was shocked, and he already knew in his heart that his brother's intention to come this time was not just to meet Mo Junting, the eighth prince? Even if he is the most favored eighth prince now, he is unwilling to let his daughter be a side concubine, and a place like the royal family is definitely not suitable for his daughter.

For his daughter, Mr. Liu still knows a lot about his daughter, not only does her appearance follow his wife, but even her temperament is similar to that of his wife, smart but soft, and he is too naïve by the two of them.

Liu Rusheng said, "What about you?" ”

"I ......" Mo Junting opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.

Liu Rusheng said, "Since the Liu family is destined to fall into these things, then you sue me for the reason why the Liu family chose the fifth prince instead of the eighth prince." ”

Mo Junting did not speak.

Liu Rusheng asked rhetorically, "The situation of the two of them, as long as anyone with eyes can see it, why did the Liu family choose a thorny path?" And not a flat avenue? ”

"Because Emperor Yan is not old, at least Emperor Yan feels that he is not old." Mo Junting said in a deep voice, "In ten years, the Fifth Prince's threat is less than that of the Eighth Prince. ”

"There are always exceptions." Liu Rusheng's eyes showed a little appreciation.

Mo Junting spoke, "It's better to withdraw." ”

Liu Rusheng sighed, "You are an official." ”

Mo Junting didn't speak, Liu Rusheng looked at his younger brother, "I don't object to the girl of the Liu family marrying you as a student, it's just ...... The niece's temperament ......"

Mr. Liu has now understood, why his brother said that his daughter is not suitable for marrying Mo Junting, not because Mo Junting's identity is not suitable for marrying the Liu family, but because his daughter's temperament is not suitable, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

Mrs. Liu slowly exhaled and said, "Let your daughter decide for herself." ”

Miss Liu was actually a little dazed, feeling that she understood as if she didn't understand, Mrs. Liu saw this and asked directly, "Do you like Sister An?" ”

"I like it." Miss Liu replied without hesitation.

Mrs. Liu asked again, "If Mingbo will make a lot of sacrifices for this sister in the future, can you always have no resentment?" ”

Miss Liu just wanted to answer.

Mrs. Liu said, "If you think about it carefully and then tell me, you can do it in one year, two years, three years, four years, but what about ten or twenty years?" ”

Looking at the strict expressions of her parents, Miss Liu pondered and understood what they had not finished, and then looked at Mo Junting, seeing the nervousness in Mo Junting's expression, Miss Liu smiled instead, "I believe in him, and I also believe in Sister An." ”

No one expected Miss Liu to answer like this, Miss Liu said, "I know that my father, mother, and uncle are all thinking about me, but why don't you trust Sister An and siblings more?" After all, she is not engaged yet, Miss Liu is embarrassed to call Mo Junting's name directly, but she is vague, "There will not be such a day, you just saw his sacrifice as an elder brother for Sister An, why didn't you expect Sister An to sacrifice for her brother?" ”

For the first time, Mo Junting's face showed a painful look.

Yes, Mr. Liu, they all only saw Mo Junting's sacrifice for Mo Shu'an, but why didn't anyone think about Mo Shu'an's sacrifice and dedication for himself, his brother? Why didn't anyone think from Mo Shu'an's point of view.

Miss Liu said, "Sister An has paid more." ”

Mr. Liu was silent, although Liu Rusheng did not speak, he also looked at his niece differently, I am afraid that their elders have not seen this niece clearly.

"It's better to trust them more." Miss Liu said, "I know your worries, but I absolutely don't need to. ”

The implication is that you are not me, why do you think that it will be painful for me to marry Mo Junting? Mo Shu'an is Mo Junting's sister, and she will also be her sister, she also wants that kind of sister, maybe their family will go another way because of Mo Shu'an's marriage to the fifth prince, but as long as they work together, what about the difficulties?

What if you don't participate in the imperial examination? It was enough for her to know Mo Junting's talent.

What if there will be sacrifices in the future? She believed that Mo Junting would be very good to her.

Mo Shu'an is Mo Junting's younger sister and one of his only two remaining relatives, shouldn't Mo Junting think about her?

Miss Liu looked at Mo Junting's eyes and said, "If a person can even abandon his sister for the sake of his future, can you rest assured that I will marry such a person?" ”

Mo Junting closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already calm, "There won't be a day like that." ”

"Yes." Miss Liu smiled brightly, her slightly ordinary appearance was amazingly beautiful at this moment, "I believe in you, and I believe in Sister An." ”

Liu Rusheng spoke, "Remember your words today. ”

Mo Junting said in a deep voice, "Yes." ”

Liu Rusheng looked at his younger brother and said, "Since they have chosen this path by themselves, we as elders can only be blessed." ”

Mr. Liu's voice was stunned, "It's still my brother who can look at people, I originally admired your talent, but today I learned that Mingbo is more suitable for you to be an official than to be a scholar, but you have to remember that a gentleman has something to do and something not to do." ”

"Yes." Mo Junting said, "Sir, don't worry. ”

After Mo Junting left, Mr. Liu asked, "Is it really okay for the fifth prince?" ”

Liu Rusheng said, "Even if the one doesn't want to admit it, but he will eventually grow old one day, and the main room and the favorite concubine have finally forgotten too much, and now the only four sons left, in addition to the second son and the eighth son, there is only one stupid and dumb two sons, the one who finds himself old, do you think he will feel relieved or threatened in the face of two healthy sons?" After all, that person is very selfish. ”
