CHAPTER XXXV
Mo Shu'an frowned and looked at Chunhua and asked, "Who did the porter say was coming?" β
Chunhua said, "If you go back to the girl, it is the Wang Steward of Mofu who said that she wants to see the girl." β
Qiu Shi asked, "Girl, do you want to send a letter to the young master?" β
Mo Shu'an has been moving out for so long, and the people in Mo Mansion haven't even sent anything, and at this time, they suddenly said that they have something to ask to see, no wonder they are uneasy, not to mention that Mo Junting is not in the mansion today, Mo Shu'an can't guess what is going on in Mo Mansion after thinking about it, Xia Guo said, "Why don't you go to Madame's side to avoid it?" β
"It's all about avoiding this." Mo Shu'an was amused, "Alright, bring someone in." β
Chunhua was a little reluctant, but Mo Shu'an said, "You can't take me home, even if my father has such an idea, my brother and sister-in-law and even my eldest sister will stop it." β
"Slave and maid, go now." Chunhua was also relieved when she heard this.
It didn't take long for Chunhua to bring Steward Wang in, compared with the past, Steward Wang's attitude was much more deferential, as soon as he entered the door to salute, Mo Shu'an said, "Get up, I don't know who is looking for me in the family when Steward Wang came today?" β
"Back to the girl's words." Steward Wang was a little chubby, looking very loyal and honest, "It was the young lady who asked the little one to come and talk to the girl, tomorrow the lord will send someone to take the girl back to the house, and let the girl prepare in advance." β
As soon as he said this, Xia Guo's face changed first, and Mo Shu'an lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "But what happened at home?" β
Steward Wang smiled and said, "It's a happy event, the concubine Niangniang sent someone to the house today to say that she wanted to take the girl into the palace in three days to talk." β
Mo Shu was shocked suddenly, and he couldn't care about anything else and looked at the king's steward, "Concubine Niangniang? "How could this matter involve the noble concubine Niangniang, and most importantly, why did you take her into the palace to talk? What can they say to each other?
Steward Wang didn't seem to notice that Mo Shu'an's expression was wrong, and said, "Yes." β
Xia Guo couldn't help but ask, "Why did the concubine Niangniang see my girl?" β
Steward Wang said, "I don't know what the little ones think, what the nobles think can be guessed by people like us." β
"Did the concubine only see me or ......," Mo Shu'an asked tentatively.
Steward Wang said respectfully, "The young lady asked the little one to inquire, and there are several other girls besides the girl." β
Mo Shu'an took a sip of water from the teacup, and reluctantly regained his calm and said, "I know." β
Steward Wang said, "Originally, the master asked the girl to take her back to the house, but the young lady felt that the girl would inevitably have to pack up her things, so it was delayed until tomorrow." β
"Yes." Mo Shu'an understood the meaning of the king's stewardship's words, "Tomorrow I will personally go to thank my sister-in-law." β
Seeing that Mo Shu'an had no other instructions, the steward Wang took his leave first, and as soon as the others left, Xia Guo asked, "Girl, what's going on?" β
Dong Qing pulled Xia Guo down and didn't let Xia Guo speak anymore, Mo Shu'an pursed his lower lip and said, "Qiu Shi will arrange for someone to send a letter to my uncle, ask my uncle if there is any news, and then send a letter to my brother and ask him to come back immediately." β
"Yes." Qiu Shi hurried down to make arrangements.
Mo Shu'an slowly exhaled and said, "Chunhua and Xia Guo go to clean up things, you don't need to clean up too much, it's enough for four or five days." β
Chunhua and Xia Guo responded.
Mo Shu'an got up and walked to the study, she didn't read, she just reclined on the soft couch by the window, and entered the palace? Although the Mo family has a title, it is never Mo Shu'an's turn to enter the palace, and the concubine summons a few girls, such a thing...... can't get away with so many things, the family affairs of the fifth prince and the eighth prince.
The concubine is the biological mother of the eighth prince, and it is appropriate to do it for the eighth prince, but since she will be called into the palace, the concubine can't look down on her status at all, and even the position of the side concubine, I'm afraid it won't be her turn. Then it's the five princes, the five princes have just lost their wives, and the original partner is the niece of the concubine, so strange to die...... Mo Shu'an lowered her eyes slightly, if her guess was true, then did the concubine want to choose the main room or the side room for the five princes?
Mo Shu'an actually can't hold it, after all, her identity is very embarrassing, and she has to look at the background of the others to guess it.
"Girl, Madame and Madame Sun are here." Chunhua hurriedly ran and saluted.
Mo Shu'an was stunned, quickly got up and said, "Why are my mother and aunt here, and where are they?" β
Dong Qing helped Mo Shu'an tidy up her dress, and Chunhua said, "As soon as I entered the door, the slave maid came to tell Miss SΓΉ first." β
Mo Shu'an responded, and hurriedly greeted him, but before he could reach the door, he saw Hu and Sun walking over quickly, with obvious anxiety on their faces, "Mother, why is my aunt here?" β
"How could we not come to such a big event." Sun and Hu were both wearing their regular clothes at home, and they looked like they were in a hurry to go out and didn't have time to change.
Mo Shu'an said, "Mother and aunt come in first and sit down, and Dongqing will go and get some wood dew." β
"Yes."
Hu Shi asked directly, "Is there a place to speak?" β
"Yes." Mo Shu'an led the two to the flower hall.
When everyone sat down, Mo Shu'an sat down beside Hu, Dongqing had already brought water, Sun took a few sips, and Hu said, "Have the people from Mofu been here?" β
"Yes." Mo Shu'an didn't hide it, "It was said that the concubine sent a message asking me to enter the palace to talk with me, and my sister-in-law sent someone to let me pack my things, and my father will pick me up tomorrow." "I asked someone to send a letter to my uncle and brother, and I wanted to trouble my uncle to help me find out what was going on." β
Sun said, "Your uncle learned the news after the people went to Mofu, and hurriedly came to tell us, and your mother and I couldn't sit still and came over immediately, thinking that it was because of the person who sent the letter." β
Mo Shu'an was warm and warm, the fear just now disappeared a lot, Hu Shi held Mo Shu'an's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, your uncle has already inquired that the concubine did not only send people to the Mo family, but also sent people to the Zheng family, the Chen family and the Zhou family. β
The Zheng family, the Chen family, and the Zhou family? Mo Shu pondered for a while, if he brought the Mo family, these four families all had one thing in common, that is, their ancestors all had titles, but until now, only the Mo family and the Zhou family still have a small title, and none of them have any real power.
"The Zhou family has a high title, but unfortunately they can't make ends meet for a long time, but they are barely holding on, and the Zheng family and the Chen family have no titles in the previous generation, but there is a capable ...... next to the Zheng family" Sun carefully explained the situation of the other three families.
Hu Shi didn't speak on the side, but Mo Shu'an felt that his mother's hands were sweating, and there was a little uneasiness between his eyebrows and eyes, even more panicked than when he proposed to make peace with his father at that time.
Mo Shu'an didn't know how to comfort him, and when Sun finished speaking, he already had a guess in his heart, this is not like choosing a side concubine for the five princes, the side concubine is a concubine with a relatively high status in the end, no matter how good the Zhou family is, it is also the county earl's title, and the concubine from the county uncle's mansion is a side concubine for the five princes? It's almost the same as the Eighth Prince, and it is impossible for the concubine to raise the Fifth Prince like this.
Sure enough, Sun said, "Your uncle guesses, I'm afraid he wants to choose a step-concubine for the fifth prince." After saying that, he saw that Mo Shu'an's expression did not change at all, and he had obviously guessed it, Sun sighed in his heart that this niece was really smart, and he didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse, "But as long as the matter is not explained, there is still room for turnaround, I heard your mother say about the Lin family, I don't know if the people of the Lin family can come to Beijing?" β
Mo Shu'an shook his head, "This time, I'm afraid it will take a few days." β
Hu said, "This time it's just an meeting, and if you think it's really settled, you still have to write about it, and you should be able to catch up." β
"It's just...... Will Mofu let go? Sun asked with some hesitation, "There was no such thing before, we cut Sister An's family affairs first, and we are still a little sure, but now we are ...... Mo Peng, I'm afraid, doesn't care what the situation of the five princes is, but prefers a daughter who has become a princess. This is a straightforward statement, but it is true.
Hu Shi slowly exhaled a breath, "He will definitely choose like this, he doesn't care what life Sister An lives, whether he will be happy or not, what he wants is his own face." It's not that he thinks the princess is noble, but compared with Lin Qingyang, it is obvious that a son-in-law like the fifth prince makes him feel more face-saving when he says it.
Mo Shu'an spoke, "Mother, aunt, you actually thought a little early. β
"Huh?" Hu Shi looked at Mo Shu'an.
Mo Shu'an comforted, "In the eyes of my mother and aunt, I am naturally very good, and I have no vision if others don't choose me." This is a little joke, "But in the eyes of others, I am just a person who has been divorced, and I am not favored at home, and my brother has also been passed out, and even my reputation is ...... I'm afraid it's not much better, compared to the other three girls, no matter what kind of mind the concubine has, she won't choose me. β
Saying this, Hu and Sun glanced at each other and laughed, "The two of us haven't understood Sister An yet." β
Hu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and Sun Shi said, "It's the same reason, it's better to prepare early, the Lin family still sends someone to urge, if it's too procrastinating over there, then give ......" The latter words didn't say, but the meaning was already very clear, they still wanted to prepare early, "The princess sounds noble, but think about the five princesses, it turns out that they are still the nieces of the concubines, don't they also die suddenly?" What's more, the five princes can't speak, and there is the eldest son here, it's really ......"
No one understands the pain of the stepfamily better than the Hu family, and she doesn't like her daughter to follow in her footsteps, "Although your aunt's words are straightforward, this is the truth, and ...... If you marry into a family with a comparable family background, Sister An is unhappy, and she can still get married, and we can also give you a head out to help you get angry, but the royal ...... No matter how much pain you have, you can only swallow it yourself. β
Mo Shu'an didn't know that the Hu family and the Sun family were completely thinking about themselves, "When I enter the palace, my daughter will be measured." β
Sun said, "Sister might as well stay today, I want to come back in a while, Brother Ting will also come back, when the time comes, your family will have a good gathering, I will go back to the house first, and then there will be new news and then someone will send it to you." β
Hu Shi responded, "Okay." β
"I'll send my aunt." Mo Shuan stood up and said.
Sun said, "It's all my own family, don't be angry, I'll go, I'll let Mother Liu send a change of clothes to my sister in a while." β
Despite Sun's words, Hu and Mo Shu'an still sent people to the door.
