Chapter 179
Minwei sat at the desk reading a book, Jinxiu quietly stood aside, but unfortunately half an hour passed, but the book in Minwei's hand did not turn a page, Jinxiu looked at the sky outside, lowered her head and said to Minwei who was sitting in a daze: "Miss, the time is coming, it's better to rest early." Jinxiu saw that the book in Minwei's hand hadn't been turned for a long time, and thought that Minwei wanted to rest.
Min Wei was in a daze, and after hearing Jinxiu's words, she nodded, and seeing Minwei nodding, Jinxiu immediately saluted and said, "Slave, let people prepare." Jinxiu walked out of the room, Min Wei was still thinking about her thoughts, this afternoon in Mo's courtyard, Min Wei also talked about Princess Hui, but Mo said to Min Wei with a mysterious smile that she would know later.
Min Wei pressed her forehead, Mo rarely hid it from Min Wei since she was reborn, thinking about today's events is not as optimistic as she thought, not to mention Princess Hui, that is, Mrs. Liu is very enthusiastic about her, and it can even be said that she is a little too enthusiastic, which also makes people feel very strange, but Min Wei finally chose not to think about it anymore, and the reason why Min Wei gave up thinking again is probably because Min Wei still trusts Mo from the bottom of her heart.
"What does the little girl think so intrigued about?" Zhou Moyan's voice suddenly appeared in the room, startling Min Wei who was in a trance, since Zhou Moyan appeared in Min Wei's room out of thin air several times, Min Wei is rarely alone in the room, there is always a splendid or wishful thinking in the room, this will be a splendid and just out, it is rare that there is only Min Wei alone in the room.
"Shizi." Min Wei was so frightened that her heart was beating wildly, and after she calmed down, she looked back at the window calmly and said, according to Zhou Moyan's habits of appearing several times before, probably Zhou Moyan will be standing at the window this time, sure enough, Min Wei saw Zhou Moyan at the window, leaning against the window, with a cynical smile on her face, and holding a fan in her hand, which made Min Wei can't help but want to complain.
"Little girl. You haven't answered me yet, why do you think so obsessed? Zhou Moyan actually wanted to see Min Wei startled, but when she saw Min Wei turn around, Min Wei was already calm. Although Zhou Moyan had some regret in his heart, he still asked with a smile.
"What do the courtiers think, do they still need to sue the prince? It's not too early, the courtiers are going to rest, you see, the prince" Min Wei heard Zhou Moyan's question, and didn't know why she thought of Princess Hui. Although she knew that Zhou Moyan and Princess Hui were not biological mothers and sons, and she also knew that what Princess Hui did today was not for Zhou Moyan, and Zhou Moyan was just an arrow target launched by Princess Hui in order to protect her daughter Yuru County Lord, but Min Wei still couldn't help but be angry at Zhou Moyan.
Zhou Moyan has seen Min Wei show her claws to others many times, but it is the first time she has seen Min Wei so unkind to herself, although Zhou Moyan felt very fresh in her heart, and she wanted to say something when she opened her mouth, but she heard a sound of small footsteps coming from a distance outside the door, Zhou Moyan immediately stopped the words in her mouth, and disappeared into the room. As soon as Zhou Moyan's figure disappeared, the door of the room was pushed open, and then Jinxiu entered the room.
After Zhou Moyan left the Jiang family's house, he shouted 'Aoki' to the air, and after a while, Aoki, who was dressed in black, knelt in front of Zhou Moyan, Zhou Moyan seemed to think for a while before asking Aoki: "Do you think that when that little girl faces me today, her face doesn't seem to look very good?" ”
Aoki said secretly in his heart: Probably it's your own problem, master, who can change the young lady to have a good face for a person who always likes to break into her boudoir at night. Although Aoki thought so in his heart, in the end, he said expressionlessly: "Master, you think so." After following Zhou Moyan for a long time, Aoki not only had fewer and fewer expressions on his face, but even when he replied, he was always simple and clear because he didn't want to be teased.
Listened to Aoki's expressionless reply. Zhou Moyan sighed in his heart, Aoki has also learned, it seems that the future will really become boring, after sighing, Zhou Moyan still couldn't help but say to Aoki: "Aoki, I said that you are really getting more and more boring." Aoki heard his master say this. He just said with a wooden face: "Master, what you said is true. ”
Zhou Moyan saw that he really didn't find any opportunity to tease Aoki, so he had to wave his hand to let Aoki go down, Aoki stood up after saluting, and disappeared into the night with a shake, Zhou Moyan glanced at the Jiang family house behind him, thinking to himself Why didn't Min Wei have a good face for herself today? But he left the alley without a pause.
A few days after Jiang Minfeng's full moon banquet, Minwei went to Mo's place early in the morning, and now the Jiang family's back house also has the rules of morning and dusk, after all, the current Jiang family is different from before, Jiang Qinhan's house used to have only Mo and Yao's, at that time, the Mo family did not come back from the dead, and the character was still very weak and deceitful, and the Yao family had Jiang Qinhan's preference, so naturally there were no rules at all, but since Cui'er and Huazhi have become a common room one after another, and Jiang Qinhan brought back Aunt Xu, there are more people in the Jiang family's back house, The rules of nature were slowly erected.
In the current Jiang family's back house, Cui'er has died of dystocia, and Huazhi was sold the day after Cui'er's death, and Jiang Qinhan, who was furious, asked for a deed of sale from Zhao Jiang's family, and sold her after whipping her, but since the rules have been established, it is impossible to abolish it lightly, so the morning and dusk province has been maintained in this way, but the Yao family has been sick since the day of the palace banquet, so only Aunt Xu and Yao's children come to the morning and dusk every day to settle the province.
When Minwei arrived at the main courtyard, there was only Aunt Xu sitting inside, and I didn't know if Jiang Minrui's brothers and sisters had not arrived yet or had already left, when she saw Minwei come in, Aunt Xu immediately stood up and saluted Minwei, and waited until Minwei came in and sat down, Aunt Xu sat down again, and soon after, Ning Bing came over with Jiang Minfeng in her arms, and Aunt Xu sat for a while before getting up and leaving, Minwei saw that Aunt Xu also left and knew that she was late today, and Jiang Minrui's brothers and sisters should have already come.
Ning Bing stayed in the room for half an hour and then took Jiang Minfeng back to the east wing, only Mo and Min Wei were left in the room, and Mo said to Min Wei: "I'm going to go to the shop to have a look later, you can go with you." Listening to Mo's words, Min Wei nodded, Mo has handed over all the shop's account books to Min Wei to see, since entering Beijing, Mo will take Min Wei to the shops in the capital every month.
This day of the month is a very happy time for Min Wei, this is not good in ancient times, Min Wei only realized after crossing that the ancient ladies did not have much freedom at all. Basically, it is impossible to go out except for things like going to banquets, and it is even more impossible to go out in disguise as a woman like the one written in the passage, because the average lady has a personal maid around her, and the women live in the inner house. Trying to get through a few checkpoints and get out of the gate is simply a dream.
The rules in ancient times were very strict, especially for unmarried women, so the life of the young lady in ancient times was actually boring and boring, which Min Wei realized after crossing over, maybe because there was no entertainment. I can't go out often, so in ancient times, I would always learn some talents to pass the boring time, and by the way, I showed myself in front of others.
With Mo's words, Min Wei went back to the courtyard to change her clothes, and when she returned to the main courtyard, she saw Mo Shi instructing Ning Bing and Xiaolian: "You two will take the Eighth Young Master to stay in the main courtyard, and you must not leave the main courtyard without permission." Seeing Min Wei coming in with Jinxiu, Mo Shi said to Yun Jin: "Let people go and see if the carriage is ready, and bring the freshly made peach cloak to the young lady to put on." ”
Min Wei looked at the clothes on her body, and then at the peach-colored cloak that Yun Jin held out. Min Wei had a black thread on her head, and said secretly in her heart: Okay, although I am wearing a little plain, but I will not take out such a red cloak, although Min Wei is not very willing, but she still took the cloak in Yun Jin's hand and tied it for herself with the brocade.
At this time, the mother-in-law had already come to tell her that the carriage had been prepared, and Mo Shi waved her hand to let Ning Bing and Xiaolian go back to the east wing before taking Min Wei out of the main courtyard, Min Wei followed Mo Shi into the carriage, and waited for the carriage to go for a while. Min Wei realized that this time Mo didn't seem to go to the Splendid Pavilion as before, looking like the way to Mobaozhai, Min Wei was a little curious, but it was only for a moment.
Today, Mobao Zhai in the capital is still Jin Lang as the shopkeeper. When Mo and Min Wei arrived, Jin Lang did not come out, and when the two entered inside, they saw Jin Lang talking with a guest, and Mo did not go over, but just took Min Wei to look around in the shop, and after a while. Jin Lang smiled and came in the direction of Mo and Min Wei, since Mo began to ask about things in the shop, Jin Lang's attitude towards Mo was much better than before.
"Miss, Miss, I'm thinking about sending last month's account book to Miss." Strictly speaking, Jin Lang is not a descendant of the Mo family or the Jiang family at all, so although his attitude towards the Mo family and Min Wei is much better, he is not as respectful as his father Jin Lao, but his attitude makes Min Wei look more pleasing to the eye, because this attitude will not make Min Wei feel awkward.
"Shopkeeper Jin, I'm just coming over to take a look today, you just have to do your own thing." Mo Shi said with a smile to Jin Lang, and Jin Lang just arched his hand after listening to Mo Lang's words and then really turned around to do his own thing, Mo Shi was not surprised, he still took Min Wei around the shop, and Mo Shi did not say anything about Jin Lang's attitude.
Mo once mentioned to Min Wei that the shopkeepers in Mo's dowry shops are already free, except for Hongxuan's slave status was sold by Mo's family, the rest of the shopkeepers are all old man Mo has already sold his slave status, and now these people and their descendants are still willing to help Mo's dowry shop take care of business, probably to repay the old man Mo's affection, and the money taken by these shopkeepers who work in Mo's shop is actually the same as those outside the shopkeepers.
"Sister Mo?" Mo Shi and Min Wei were still walking around the shop, and Min Wei felt a little unusual, as if Mo Shi would not usually stay in a shop for so long like this, just when Min Wei couldn't help but want to ask Mo Shi, there was a voice with doubts behind her, and this voice Min Wei felt inexplicably familiar.
"Sister Li, I didn't expect to meet you here." Mo Shi turned around in time, and then said to the visitor with just the right amount of surprise on his face, and Min Wei was also a little stunned when she turned around and saw the visitor, it was actually Mrs. Liu who she had only seen a few days ago, and behind her was the smiling Liu Wanwan, and there was a young man who was not very old.
"It's a coincidence, I thought that the weather was good today, so I took Wanwan and Zhi'er out to have a look, and bought some paper, pens and rouge gouache by the way." Seeing that she didn't recognize the wrong person, Mrs. Liu immediately walked over to Mo's side, even though Mo and Mrs. Liu tried their best to show that they were just a coincidence, but Min Wei still reacted, Mo and Mrs. Liu had probably made an appointment to meet here.
"I also saw that the weather was good today, so I took Wei'er to my dowry shop to have a look." Mo Shi listened to Mrs. Liu's words, and immediately said with a smile on her face, Min Wei was full of black lines on the side, but she still couldn't bear to say anything, as long as she could go out for a walk, she really didn't care who she was with.
"Is Vile there too? I was happy to see my sister just now, but I didn't notice it, by the way, this is my son, Zhi'er, come over and see my aunt. Mrs. Liu pushed out the young man behind her as she spoke, and Min Wei saw the young man's appearance clearly, Si Swen was white and pure, and she saluted politely when she saw Mo Shi and Min Wei.
It is said that Mrs. Liu's maiden family, the Li family, is also in business, but it is different from the Mo family, the Li family is a generational businessman, and Lord Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is not like Jiang Qinhan was born into a family, Lord Liu is just a poor family, and after the examination, Mrs. Li took a fancy to marry Mrs. Liu.
And Mrs. Liu is a little luckier than Mo's, she has a son and a daughter, and Lord Liu has always been very good to Mrs. Liu since she became a parent, and then Mrs. Liu's maiden family gradually declined, because there are no people in the Li clan who are good at business, and the business of the shop in the clan has slowly deteriorated, on the contrary, Lord Liu's official has become bigger and bigger, and he has married a few concubines, as for what Mrs. Liu looks like in Liufu, it is not difficult to guess.
"Wei'er, why are you in a daze, I haven't seen the son of the Liu family yet." Min Wei silently recalled the news from Jinxiu in her heart, and at the same time, when she felt infinite sorrow for the ancient system of three wives and four concubines, Mo Shi opened her mouth and said to Min Wei.
