Chapter VIII

Mo Junting got the letter, and went directly to ask for leave and took the scholar back to Mo's mansion, he knew what his sister meant, but he didn't confirm with his own eyes that his mother and sister were fine, he was always uneasy.

Hu Shi was naturally happy to see his son, and ordered to cook a lot of meals that his son and daughter liked, and after the meal, Mo Junting and Mo Shu'an both accompanied Hu Shi to talk, and naturally talked about the Zhao family, but Mo Junting diverted the topic at a slight mention and talked about the affairs of the academy.

Even if Mo Junting said just some very boring things, Hu and Mo Shu'an also felt happy, not to mention that Mo Junting was already very eloquent, and he said some very interesting things, which made Hu and Mo Shu'an laugh non-stop, Mo Shu'an's cheeks were flushed, and he looked at Mo Junting with antiquation, looking at such a sister, Mo Junting's heart softened, "I will definitely be able to win this time, and my sister will be more beautiful when she gets married." ”

Mo Shu'an lowered her eyes slightly to cover the water in her eyes, and smiled when she looked up again, "Okay." Although the two of them are compatriots, they don't look very similar, and Mo Junting's appearance is more like his deceased grandfather.

Hu asked, "How many days is Brother Ting going to stay at home?" ”

Mo Junting said, "My husband and I took leave to come out, and we are going to go to Zhao's house tomorrow to make incense, and we will go back to the academy early in the morning after tomorrow." ”

"It's fine." Although Hu Shi was full of reluctance, he also knew that it was not a good thing for his son to stay now, "I will try the clothes I just made with you later, if there is anything inappropriate, take advantage of these two days to change it, and you will take it away the day after tomorrow." ”

Mo Junting nodded, when he came, he already knew that the eldest sister had robbed her mother of the silk she had specially prepared for her sister, "Wait for two more months." When he was lifted, his mother and sister had a better life.

Hu Shi said softly, "Brother Ting, you must remember that everything else is empty, the body is the most important, you can study hard, and you can't delay eating." ”

"Mother rest assured." Mo Junting said soothingly.

Hu Shi saw that his son's face was ruddy, and he was taller again, "It's thin." ”

Mo Junting's eyes swept a glance at Mo Shu'an, and Mo Shu'an said with a smile, "I think it's because my brother can't eat the soup stewed by his mother, and the shortbread he makes is thin." ”

"I think you're hungry." Hu Shi smiled and said, "It's a little late today, I'll make shortbread for you tomorrow." ”

Mo Junting breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was afraid of the tears of his mother and sister, "Mother don't be tired." ”

After Mo Junting finished trying on the clothes, Hu Shi said, "Okay, you two go and whisper, by the way, Junting will wait for your father to come back, remember to say hello." "Mo Junting went to see Mo Peng as soon as he returned home, but unfortunately Mo Peng went out, even if Mo Peng was wrong, it was Mo Junting's father, Mo Junting was the one who was going to go through the imperial examination, and he must not leave a handle.

"My son knows." Mo Junting also understands this.

Hu Shi knew that his son had always known proportion, so he nodded and waved his hand to send their brother and sister away.

Mo Junting and Mo Shu'an went to the small study, as soon as they arrived at the study, after the maid had refreshments, Mo Shu'an let people leave, and then picked up the places on the book that he didn't understand, Mo Junting explained them one by one, and waited for Mo Shu'an to understand before saying, "I recently read some new books, and I have written and annotated them silently, but I didn't have time to bind them, and I will let them send them to you when they are properly in a few days." ”

"Okay." Mo Shu'an's eyebrows bent, and only then did she reveal a little bit of her little daughter's true temperament, "Brother, don't be tired." ”

"I'm measured." Mo Junting sat on the chair, took a sip of warm water and said, "I think this time is much easier than before. ”

Mo Shu'an was a little puzzled, and Mo Junting explained, "The imperial examination relies on accumulation. ”

As soon as she said this, Mo Shu'an understood, Chunhua had already sent the things Mo Shu'an wanted, and Mo Shu'an took out the fan cover, sachet and other items inside and gave them to Mo Junting.

Mo Junting didn't change it immediately, his fingers stroked the pattern on it and said, "My sister used to make it can still be used, you have to embroider a dowry and prepare a meeting gift for the Zhang family recently, don't ......"

"Brother." Mo Shu'an interrupted Mo Junting's words, "It's all small things, and it won't take much time." ”

When Mo Junting heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, carefully put away his things, and then asked, "What are my father's plans for the Zhao family's affairs?" ”

Mo Shu'an sat next to Mo Junting and carefully explained the matter, "I think the death of the eldest brother-in-law is a little strange. ”

Mo Junting pondered for a moment and said, "This matter...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

"Huh?" Even if Mo Shu'an is smart, but in the end, she is a girl in the boudoir and rarely goes out for many reasons, and her knowledge is limited, and she can detect the strangeness of the Zhao family's death.

Mo Junting pondered for a long time before saying, "The Zhao family is not an ordinary family, and the eldest son of the Zhao family is the eldest son, even if he goes out to relax, there will be no shortage of people around him, but how did he fall from the horse?" The Zhao family has a steady temperament, even if he rides a horse, it should be a trained horse, such a horse...... It's not something that can be surprised at random. ”

Mo Shu'an also understood.

"But the Zhao family didn't make any moves." Mo Junting didn't drink water while holding the cup, "I didn't even report to the official for a thorough investigation, which shows that the Zhao family knows how their son died, but they can't say that they can't be held accountable, those subordinates ...... It is said that it was angered, but it is better to say that it was extinguished. ”

Mo Shu'an's face turned pale, and he glanced at Mo Junting, Mo Junting said, "When my father comes back, I'll ask him if he knows the inside story, if he doesn't know, I'm afraid ......."

"The Zhao family also hates our family?" Mo Shu'an muttered.

Mo Junting nodded, in the end, the two families are also relatives, even if they can't say it directly, they have to remind it a little, if the Zhao family doesn't even remind them, according to Mo Jingying's temperament, I'm afraid that from time to time I will have to take out my husband's death and cry to win sympathy, so the one related to this matter, will the person who doesn't even dare to pursue the Zhao family think that the Mo family is ignorant and take action against the Mo family?

Mo Shu'an gritted her teeth and said, "I'm afraid my brother won't be able to persuade my father." "Even if because Mo Junting was admitted to Xiucai, Mo's father paid more attention to him, and he would not listen to Mo Junting, because Mo's father hoped that it was Mo Zhiteng who would be admitted to Xiucai, he felt that the Mo family was very proud of his talent, and on the other hand, he felt that Mo Junting's biological mother was just a concubine, and it was embarrassing to be mentioned, so his attitude towards Mo Junting was very ...... Cloudy and sunny.

Mo Junting sighed, "If you can't persuade you, you have to persuade you." "He is not for the Mo family, but for his mother and sister, if something happens to the Mo family, none of them can escape.

Mo Shu'an said, "It's better to send a letter directly to my grandfather and uncle." ”

Mo Junting is not a person who hesitates, "I'll go in person." ”

Mo Shu'an nodded, "I made a pair of shoes for my grandfather, wiped my forehead for my grandmother, and made some small things for my uncle and aunt, and my brother helped me send them." ”

Mo Junting nodded when he heard this, he understood that his sister's hard work was all for him, they were all using their own methods to take care of each other and be good to each other, thinking of the contact with Zhang Sanlang during this time, Mo Junting felt from the bottom of his heart that he was not worthy of his sister, but his sister couldn't drag it out, what if one day his father was coaxed into matching someone to his sister casually?

Mo Shu'an sent Mo Junting out, asked Yahuan to talk to the Hu family, and then went back to the house and sat by the window to embroider, she wanted to make a dress for Mrs. Zhang, and now she has only made a small half, and slowly exhaled a breath and calmed down and continued to embroider.

Hu Mansion is not far from Mo Mansion, it is only a tea cup to take a carriage to arrive, Mo Junting is the grandson of Hu Mansion, and he is a good person, so as soon as he arrived at the Hu Mansion gatehouse, he quickly welcomed people in, and let people pass it on, and what came out was Mo Junting's uncle Hu Xiaocheng, but Hu Xiaocheng's face was ugly, and when he saw Mo Junting, he barely eased his expression, pulled Mo Junting and went inside, and gritted his teeth without waiting for Mo Junting to ask, "That old pious woman, that old pious woman actually secretly sent abortion medicine to Mo Jingying." ”

"What!" Even Mo Junting was shocked at this time, he only learned from his sister that Mo Jingying was pregnant with the heir of the Zhao family, and he was afraid that it was the only bloodline, why did he come to Hu Mansion and heard his uncle say that his grandmother smuggled the abortion pill to Mo Jingying, Mo Junting breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it Mo Jingying who wants to use it herself?" ”

Hu Xiaocheng sneered, "Who knows." ”

Mo Junting took a breath of cold air, if Mo Jingying really dared, then the Hu family, the Mo family, and the Zhao family would really be endless.

The two of them had already gone in while talking, and Mo Junting saluted, "Grandfather, grandmother." ”

Old Man Hu saw his grandson and said, "Shouldn't Brother Ting be in the academy today?" ”

"I learned about the eldest sister, so I asked for leave to come out, and I always had to go to the eldest brother-in-law to offer incense." Mo Junting said gently, "I have to go back early in the morning the day after tomorrow, so I took advantage of today to visit my grandfather, grandmother and uncle." ”

Hu Xiaocheng liked this nephew very much and said, "Why don't you rest at home." ”

"Hmph." Old Madam Hu said coldly, "It's so good, I think it's specifically to come back to see Sister Ying's jokes." ”

Old Man Hu scolded angrily, "Shut up, I haven't said ...... yet"

"What's wrong with me?" Mrs. Hu was not afraid at all.

Hu Xiaocheng's eyes were cloudy, Old Man Hu trembled angrily, Hu Xiaocheng hurriedly went to serve water to let Old Man Hu be smooth, Mo Junting was a junior and stood aside, and did not say a word.

"What's wrong with you?" Old Man Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Why is your heart so ruthless, we and the Zhao family are also in-laws, not enemies!" Sister Ying's belly is the only bloodline of her grandson's son-in-law. ”

"So what? You can't delay Sister Ying for a lifetime for a dead person. Old Madam Hu didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, "Doesn't their Zhao family still have two sons?" Although one is a concubine, the younger one is a concubine. "Her son and daughter died, and her son didn't even have an heir.

"Mother, even if Sister Ying wants to remarry, she will have to wait three years." Hu Xiaocheng gritted his teeth and said, "By then, the child has been born and raised to the age of two, which can be regarded as a full ......."

"Shut up." Old Madam Hu said in a cold voice, "What if you say it easily, what if the Zhao family does something?" It is a big deal for a woman to have a child, but what if the Zhao family wants to go to the mother and keep the child? ”

Old Man Hu was full of disappointment, "You...... Forget it, Xiaocheng asked your daughter-in-law to go to Zhao Mansion immediately, and you must stop ......"

"It's too late." Mrs. Hu said, "Sister Ying has already used it, by the way, I sent it in the name of Xiao Hu, the dim sum that Xiao Hu sent to Sister Ying, of course Sister Ying is so filial, of course, she will use it immediately." ”
