Chapter II

Hu Shi looked at his daughter's well-behaved appearance, and sighed in his heart, when his daughter was so old, she didn't even have the strength to breastfeed, how could it be time to get married in a blink of an eye. Hu hopes that his daughter will marry a good husband and be happy for the rest of her life, but what if she is worried about being bullied in her husband's family?

Mo Shu'an saw her mother's expression of joy and worry for a while, and knew that her mother was afraid that she was thinking too much, so she lowered her eyes slightly and asked, "Mother, how did you look at your brother?" But what is in tune? ”

This elder brother refers to Mo Shu'an's sibling brother Mo Junting, and the eldest brother Mo Zhiteng and sister Mo Jingying in the family have not let their mother touch their hands at all from the selection of people to the final operation.

It's just that Mo Shu'an has always been curious, how did her mother get her father to agree, she and her brother must have her mother's nod and consent to the relationship, otherwise others will never be able to call the shots.

Hearing this, Hu said, "I always feel bad." ”

For his son's family affairs, the Hu family is also heartbroken, and the current situation is not high, and the Hu family is unwilling to choose an unsatisfactory one, which is related to his son's life.

Mo Shu'an also understands her mother's difficulties, the Mo family was awarded the title of duke for military merits earlier, but now there is no surplus of the county viscount, if the Mo family has no great merit, when the eldest brother attacks the lord, he will be a county man, and the nephew's generation will have no title to attack.

Although the son does not say anything about his father's faults, Mo Shu understands in his heart that his father is not a capable person, and he has been in the position of the head of the Ministry of Rites for five years.

The eldest brother Mo Zhiteng married the daughter of the minister, this family affair was set by the grandmother through the face of the grandfather, a few days ago Mo Shu'an heard the eldest sister show off and learned that the family was ready to donate the prisoner for the eldest brother, and then run for an official position, just like their father.

After a lot of running, I don't know how much money it will cost and how many generous gifts it will give, and I am afraid that because of this, her father only agreed to take out 10,000 taels of her dowry.

In fact, if it weren't for the Mo family's strong foundation, although there were no good talents for several generations, but there were no heirs of the defeated family, I am afraid that she would have been unable to make ends meet, she heard her aunt mention that some titles are higher than the Mo family, and now they are just eating food and barely maintaining the dignity of the family.

However, Mo Shu'an's brother Mo Junting is a good reader, but he has already made a name for himself in the fifteenth, so he is waiting for the township exam in August, and if he wins, he will be lifted.

Mo Shu'an persuaded, "Mother doesn't need to worry, why don't you wait for two more months, and then talk about it after my brother's trial, if my brother wins, I'm afraid that the sixteen-year-old will not be able to talk about good relatives?" Maybe my mother will be picky then. ”

Hearing this, Hu Shi smiled and nodded Mo Shu'an's forehead, "Where is it as easy as you say, then it doesn't mean that you will be admitted if you are admitted." ”

Mo Shu'an could see it, "Anyway, my brother is young, even if I wait another three years, it's not too late." ”

"At that time, your brother was nineteen years old, why is it not too late?" Hu Shi also felt a little impatient when his daughter said this, "Your uncle said the same thing, and ......"

Mo Shu'an wanted to wait for her mother to continue, but she stopped after finding that she had said it, and blinked a little suspiciously and asked, "Why did Mother say half of what she said?" ”

Hu Shi said, "The matter has not been decided yet, and I will sue you in a few days." ”

Mo Shu'an stared at the joy on Hu's face that couldn't be hidden, and pondered for a while, with a little joy in his eyes, "Mother, isn't my grandfather on the fold?" ”

This was a little vague, but Hu Shi nodded, and when he saw that his daughter guessed it, he didn't hide it, and whispered, "I said that it has been dredged." If it weren't for the fact that my mother-in-law has been obstructing me, the throne of the prince would have fallen to my younger brother a long time ago, "I just don't know how many levels it will be lowered, in case it ......"

Mo Shu'an was weak and cold when she was young, and she could only stay in the room most of the time, but later she grew up and had better bones, and she could go out and exercise with her brother, and the habit of reading books was also raised, even Mo Junting's book, Mo Shu'an turned it over several times, "My grandfather is a county uncle, and it stands to reason that the position of the son of the world should have been inherited by my son-in-law or eldest son, and my grandfather has no son-in-law now, and my uncle is the elder, so my mother doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Hu Shi looked at his daughter's serious appearance, couldn't help pinching her face, and didn't know what to say about her daughter, "It turns out that I am always worried that you are too soft and never care about others, and it is easy to suffer losses after getting married, and I regret that I have always asked you to let the eldest girl." This is the first time that Hu Shi said these words in front of Mo Shu'an, "Later, it was your uncle who said that you have your own scales in your heart, and you don't care about it, but you just feel that those are not worth your waste." ”

Mo Shu'an didn't say anything, just quietly listened to her mother's words, and Hu sighed, "Now it seems that I don't know you as well as your uncle, and I can't see everything as thoroughly as you." ”

"Not really." Mo Shu'an held her mother's hand, "My mother just wants to protect me in her arms and cherish me, but she always feels wronged by me, so she is afraid that I will be bullied." And although my uncle also loves me, he loves me because I am a mother and daughter, so naturally there are some bystanders who have a clear attitude. ”

These are Mo Shu'an's heart's words, the Hu family may not be smart enough and not strong enough and too content, married into the Mo family for nearly 20 years and has not been able to control the power of the house, was made difficult by the people left by his father's original partner, and now he has to endure the presumptuousness of Mo Jingying, a junior, but Mo Shu'an knows that she is a good mother, and she also tries her best to give the best things to their brothers and sisters.

Mo Shu'an looked down at her mother's hands, she hadn't seen her mother's nails since she could remember, and she had dyed those lady's favorite kodan, and her mother always cut her nails short, so that people would grind them round and moist for fear of accidentally scratching their brother and sister.

Even now that they have grown up, their mother's nails have never been raised.

My father was eleven years older than my mother, and my mother never wore bright clothes since she got married, and always dressed up steadily, because this was in line with her identity, but my father never noticed my mother's thoughtfulness, and my mother was used to wronging herself, and she never complained.

Mo Shu'an heard Liu's mother mention that she always slept at night when she was a child, and she had to be held by her mother to sleep for a while, even if she was put down when she fell asleep, she cried non-stop without a cup of tea, and her mother hugged her all night long, and she was really tired before she was hugged for a while, and before she could cry, she returned to her mother's arms.

But she slept soundly during the day, and forcibly changed her routine because of her weak health. And the sibling brother is just the opposite, the work and rest is normal, noisy during the day and sleep peacefully at night, thanks to the brother is not as hypocritical as her, it is not possible to leave the mother, but the mother can not rest assured, afraid that the next person will take care of it inappropriately, sleep for a while and wake up to see, before they are one year old, the mother has not slept a single sleep.

"There is no better mother than you." Mo Shu'an's voice was not loud, but it was unexpectedly firm, not only she but also her brother thought so, her brother is now studying hard, in order to be able to support his mother after he gets ahead, so that others can no longer underestimate his mother.

Hu Shi's eyes turned red when he heard this, but he didn't want his daughter to see it, so he took a few sips of the teacup slowly, and waited for the feelings to calm down, then put down the cup and said, "Just your mouth is sweet, by the way, how are you doing with Mrs. Zhang's clothes?" ”

Mo Shu knew that her mother was embarrassed, and she didn't worry about it, and as she changed the topic, "Because the date is chosen in February next year, my daughter wants to make a set of ...... for Mrs. Zhang."

Seeing that his daughter had thought about it properly, Hu Shi advised, "There are still a few months to go, just do it slowly, but don't hurt your eyes." ”

Mo Shu agreed, chatted with her mother about other things, and stayed in her mother's room to rest with her mother after lunch.

Sleeping in a daze, Mo Shu'an heard her mother's exclamation, and quickly sat up and asked, "What happened to my mother?" ”

Hu asked Liu's mother to bring water, Danqiu waited for Mo Shu'an to freshen up, and comforted herself in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's not my side that has an accident." ”

Mo Shu'an took the handkerchief and wiped his face, and asked, "Is it my grandfather......

"Not really." Hu frowned, "It's your brother-in-law, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

People are close to each other, and Mo Shu'an calmed down when she heard this, "Why is it suddenly bad?" Big sister returned to her parents' house today? "It's not a secret that Mo Jingying asked someone to cut off the brocade, and it has already reached her ears without waiting for Mo Shu'an to ask someone to inquire, if there is anything wrong with her husband, I'm afraid the eldest sister doesn't have the heart to do this.

Hu said, "Danqiu will talk to the girl. ”

Danqiu was kneeling on the ground to arrange the corners of Mo Shu'an's skirt, "The slave maid heard the little maid ring who was waiting in the study in the front yard say that it was a fallen horse, and when she was sent back, she was already out of breath and less in breath, and the eldest sister sent the maid ring around her to beg the master to ask the doctor for a doctor." ”

Mo Shu'an responded, sat in front of the dresser and asked Yahuan to comb her hair, Hu Shi said, "I'll go to the front yard and ask." ”

"Can my father or my eldest sister have someone inform my mother?" Mo Shu'an took Hu's hand and didn't let her leave, "Or maybe the housekeeper mother in the front yard came to talk to her mother?" ”

Hu sighed, "No. ”

Mo Shu'an's tone was flat, "Then what did my mother do?" Just don't know. ”

Hu Shi said angrily, "You think I'm for the big girl?" It's not that I'm afraid...... If my uncle really has a case, the eldest girl will go back to live in the house and add to my son's right and wrong. ”

Mo Shu'an shook her head, she was not afraid, anyway, she was going to get married in less than a year, so it was a big deal to endure it, and her brother was studying in the academy and only came back for two days a month, but her mother was afraid that she would be sad. Mo Shu'an really didn't want her eldest brother-in-law to go like this, even if it dragged on for more than ten years. When her brother is full-fledged, she will also stand in the Zhang family, and it will not be too late to die, at that time, with their protection, no one will bully her mother.
