CHAPTER XIX

The people in Hu's mansion are very good to Mo Shu'an, not only do their uncles and aunts take care of her, but their cousins and cousins are also very friendly to Mo Shu'an, and her cousin is also afraid that Mo Shu'an will be unhappy in the mansion, so she comes to talk to Mo Shu'an all day long, and chooses the patterns of clothes and jewelry for Mo Shu'an with the Sun family, without the slightest jealousy, but Mo Shu'an still feels uncomfortable, no matter how good it is, it is not her home, but Mo Shu'an hides this discomfort very well, even the Hu family can't see it.

Sun looked at the booklet in his hand for a while, and said, "I still think that set of butterfly love flower jewelry is suitable for Sister An, make the butterfly's wings smarter, and inlay some beautiful gems on it, Sister An must look good when she wears it." ”

Hu said, "It's better for Sister An and Sister Yuan to wear one set, and let them all wear them when they go out." ”

"Okay." Before Sun could speak, Hu Yuan responded with a smile, she was the daughter of Hu Xiaocheng and Sun, because it was the first child of the two of them who had been pampered since childhood, and her temperament was the most cheerful, "Cousin, let's wear the same, okay?" ”

Mo Shu'an smiled when she heard this, "Okay." ”

Hu Yuan hugged Mo Shu'an with a smile and said, "Sister An, if only I were my own sister, how good it would be." ”

Sun scolded with a smile, "Just like you monkey, Sister An is not uncommon with you." ”

Hu Yuan puffed out her cheeks and poured into Mo Shu'an's arms, "No, Sister An likes me the most, doesn't she?" At first, she listened to her mother's words and took good care of Mo Shu'an, but after getting along, she really liked this cousin.

Mo Shu'an hugged Hu Yuan, lest she accidentally bump into it, "I like you the most." ”

Hu and Sun looked at their appearance, shook their heads with a smile, and chose a few more pieces of jewelry before stopping, and asked Yahuan to send the booklet to Yinlou, Sun said, "Sister, do you want to wait any longer, I will take Sister Yuan with you when the time comes." ”

"It's rare for your mother's family to come here." After Hu Shi returned to Hu Mansion, he was dressed much younger, and the whole person looked alive, "I live in my own courtyard, you don't have to worry, not to mention that Brother Ting will go over in a few days." ”

Hu Yuan said, "I can't bear my sister." ”

Sun knocked Hu Yuan on the forehead and said, "When will the purse you promised to embroider for Sister An be ready?" ”

Hu Yuan stuck out his tongue and said, "I have to work hard." ”

Mo Shu'an said softly, "I'll be back in a while." ”

"Then I'll be fine, I'll go to see my sister with my mother." Hu Yuan whispered.

Mo Shu'an nodded in response, and Sun shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, you two sisters go play." ”

Hu Yuan smiled and pulled Mo Shu'an to the yard to play.

After Mo Shu'an left, Hu Shi sighed and said, "I'm going to take Sister An to live in another courtyard for a while, she's ...... I've been in Mofu and haven't gone out to play yet. ”

Sun didn't know, "Now the scenery is just right, and the courtyard is not far from Puyang Temple. ”

Hu Shi smiled and agreed.

Mo Syan's luggage was packed a long time ago, because Hu was going to stay in the courtyard for a little longer, so it was inevitable that there would be more things, and the next day before dawn, the girls were busy, Mo Shu'an also woke up early to accompany Hu to eat, and when the things were ready, Hu and Mo Shu'an got into the carriage, and Hu Xiaocheng personally sent the two of them to the other courtyard.

This is the first time Mo Shu'an has gone out of the city, even if it is just to go to the suburbs, even if she is calm, it is inevitable that she will be a little unable to sit still at this time, Hu Shi glanced at it and felt funny and distressed in his heart, "When you get out of the city in a while, you can push the car window open." ”

Mo Shu'an's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were moist and bright, and she called out a little embarrassedly, "Mother, it's so lively outside." ”

Hu's eyes were red, and he almost cried, so he hesitated and carefully opened the car window and said, "Don't be coquettish, if you see something you like, let Mother Liu buy it for you." ”

Mo Shu'an nodded and looked out through the small slit.

After all, it was in the city, so the speed of the carriage was not fast, but when it was about to reach the city gate, the carriage suddenly leaned to the side and stopped, Hu Xiaocheng knocked on the door, Hu asked Yahuan to open the door, Hu Xiaocheng came in and handed over an oiled paper bag, "The crispy cake just out of the pot, give Sister An a taste, don't burn it." ”

Mo Shu'an smiled, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Hu Shi took it and handed it to Mo Shu'an, and asked, "Is there anything you want to go out of the city?" ”

Hu Xiaocheng said, "It is said that the five princes and the five princesses are going out of the city to pray for blessings." ”

Hu Shi nodded when he heard this, and said nothing, "Don't bump into the nobles." ”

Hu Xiaocheng smiled, "Sister, don't worry, I've arranged it." ”

Hu Shi was relieved, Hu Xiaocheng looked at Mo Shu'an and said, "Sister An wants to eat and tell your uncle, and your uncle will let you buy it." ”

Mo Shu'an pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I'm just looking at the freshness." "She can't go out of the house, but every time Mo Junting comes back, she will buy her a lot of things, such as sugar paintings, sugar gourds, etc., she and Mo Junting have secretly eaten behind Hu's back I don't know how many times.

After the convoy of the five princes and the princess left, the Hu family's carriage moved again, and Hu Xiaocheng simply stayed in the carriage to tell Hu and Mo Shu'an some interesting things.

Hu Shi suddenly asked, "These five princes, how did I hear about the innate ...... Is it crippled, unable to speak? ”

Mo Shu'an didn't know much about this, Mo Junting rarely mentioned these, and looked at Hu Xiaocheng with some curiosity as he took a small bite of shortbread.

Hu Xiaocheng thought for a while before saying, "These five princes are not congenitally disabled, but acquired. Hu Xiaocheng didn't know what it was, speaking of the five princes, Hu Xiaocheng simply said everything he knew, "Now there are four sons in the saint, the prince is not liked by the saint, the four princes are born dull, the five princes have dumb diseases, and there is the eighth prince from the concubine." ”

Mo Shu'an frowned slightly, even Mo Shu'an had heard of the matter of the concubine's favor of the harem, so the emperor had so many sons left, the fourth prince and the fifth prince were disabled, I am afraid they were all out of the throne, and the prince was in an embarrassing situation, and now the harem seems to be in charge of the concubine, and the queen is more like an ornament.

The Holy One is over 50 years old, but there are only four surviving sons, is it a coincidence? Mo Shu'an thought it was unlikely.

Hu Xiaocheng whispered, "The death of the Zhao family seems to have something to do with the eight princes. ”

"What?" Hu couldn't help but exclaim.

Hu Xiaocheng nodded, "If it weren't for that, would you be like this when the Zhao family did?" ”

Mo Shu'an took a sip of the teacup, suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "But uncle, how can the Zhao family's eldest lang and the eighth prince have nothing to do with each other?" ”

"It's also the bad luck of this Zhao family." Hu Xiaocheng had already inquired clearly, sighed and said, "I don't know the specifics, I only heard that the Zhao family saved a child, but he was ...... by the horse of the eighth prince."

Although the Zhao family has been her brother-in-law for several years, Mo Shu'an really has no impression of him, and vaguely remembers that he is a person with a good temper, and it sounds uncomfortable at this time.

Hu Xiaocheng didn't mention this matter again, but said, "Although the fifth prince died early in his biological mother, he also has a disability, because the princess is a relative of the concubine, and her life is not bad, and now she has a son-in-law, but unfortunately I heard that the fifth princess is weak......

"The concubine entered the palace on the fifteenth, and now she is in her forties, and she is still in her favor." Hu Xiaocheng said, "It is the concubine's maiden family, and she was promoted by the saint because of this." ”

Mo Shu'an poured a cup of tea and gave it to Hu Xiaocheng, Hu Xiaocheng took it and drank a few sips, "Now that the eighth prince is fifteen, I'm afraid that the court will no longer be stable." ”

"These eight princes are married?" Hu asked with some curiosity.

Hu Xiaocheng shook his head and said, "Not yet, if you want to come to the concubine, you have to choose carefully." ”

The Hu family asked about the matter of the Eighth Prince and passed, but looked at Mo Shu'an and said, "Sister An's family affairs must not be handed over to the Mo Mansion." ”

Hu Xiaocheng said, "Sister, don't worry." By the end of this month at the latest, I will be able to attack the lord, Mo Peng...... Isn't it just relying on the fact that he is a county viscount? When the time comes, I will not be worse than him, I will always have to call the shots for Sister An. ”

Even if he was talking about his marriage, Mo Shu'an's expression was still calm and said, "Mother doesn't need to worry. ”

Hu said, "Your brother is talking about me, he has a classmate in his academy ......" This matter is actually not easy to tell Mo Shu'an, but after experiencing the affairs of the Zhang family, Hu Shi feels that some things are still discussed with Mo Shu'an, "Although the family is a little poor, it is a hard worker, and his family is simple, his father died early and was raised by his mother, and there is absolutely no problem with his character, what I mean with your brother is, do you want to find a chance for you to meet?" ”

As if he was afraid that Mo Shu'an would think too much, Hu explained, "This kind of thing is not out of line, most of the women in Beijing are ...... before they get married."

"Mother." Mo Shu'an put his hand on the back of Hu's hand and reassured, "I know, it was just because my father had many restrictions, since my brother said that people are good, it must be good, and my daughter will listen to the arrangements of her mother and brother." ”

Hu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, I also have to take a closer look, this time I don't want that weak character, the children of poor families have long been in charge, I think this person is an assertive person, when the time comes, you bring the dowry, and life will not be bitter." ”

Hu Xiaocheng said, "Not only to look at the person's character, but also to look at his mother's character, it must not be that kind of calculation, after all, such a person must be filial, if his mother and daughter-in-law are in a dilemma, life is not appropriate." ”

Hu nodded, "That's exactly the truth." ”

Mo Shu'an listened to his mother and uncle discussing his family affairs, but he didn't feel anything in his heart, so he simply looked at the scenery outside the car window quietly, and after leaving the city, Hu pushed the car window open half of it, although he couldn't see clearly through the curtain, it was not bad.

When I arrived at the annex, it was already afternoon, this annex was repaired in advance, and the Sun family sent someone to take care of it, and the things were very complete, but Hu and Mo Shu'an had no appetite for food all the way, but Hu Xiaocheng took his subordinates to carefully check the surroundings again, and the nursing home told everything again, and felt that everything was in order, so he put his mind at ease, and spent the night in the courtyard, and left the next day.
