Chapter 128
"Miss, noon has arrived." Min Wei raised her head from the desk and looked at the sky outside, it was indeed almost noon, and it had been nearly half a month since she went to Mo's to ask something that night, although after that night, Min Wei didn't know what to say to Mo's, and finally ended the conversation in silence, but it did not affect the relationship of dependence and trust that the two had finally established.
In the past half a month, the Yao family didn't have the heart to find trouble with the Mo family, because Jiang Qinhan had never stepped into the Yao family's courtyard since the last incident, but spent more time in the outer courtyard, even if he occasionally entered the inner courtyard, he went directly to Cui'er, but for some reason, it was obviously Cui'er who was sent to Jiang Qinhan by Yao's side, but this time he didn't seem to speak for Yao's, so that Jiang Qinhan and Yao's have always been tense.
Min Wei doesn't hate this situation, Jiang Qinhan, whether it is himself or Mo's, doesn't particularly care, after all, Jiang Qinhan has never let Mo and Minwei have expected him, so no matter what Jiang Qinhan does, it will no longer affect Mo's mother and daughter, but this is the opposite for Yao's, a man who has always been in the palm of his hand, suddenly out of control, must be an unadaptable thing.
Zhou Moyan has not appeared since he appeared once that night, Min Wei also asked Jinxiu to inquire, Du Qing was indeed sick, and it is said that after getting better, he fell ill again because of the obstruction of marriage, and now it has long been rumored in the capital, although Du Qing has been valued by King Hui and Princess Hui, but it is not very much loved by the Queen Mother and King Hui's biological mother Concubine Rong, so King Hui's marriage invitation was suppressed by the Queen Mother, And Du Qing, the princess of King Hui, who should have been nine out of ten, was not as logical as Mei Ruxue's position as the queen, but became a joke in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, maybe it was because of this that Du Qing fell ill again.
The emperor's wedding day has also been set for September, and in the half month that Yao's family has quieted down, Mo and Min Wei have gone to several banquets together. Maybe it's because of the influence of the emperor's wedding, it seems that the most talked about at the banquet is who is married to whom, or the date of marriage has been set, and the Mo family has also received posts from several good wives. Most of the wedding banquets are after September, and even Min Wei has received a lot of invitations, although most of them are sisters in the family to marry, but there are also invitations from Zhang Shiyu from me.
Jiang Minting has been hostile to Mo and Minwei since Yao's incident. But he still often follows them to the banquets of various families, although he still can't gain a foothold among the concubines, but he doesn't disdain to make friends with concubines as usual, and now it can be regarded as changing the initial impression of many young ladies in the capital.
Jiao's mother and Rushu have been sent away early by Mo's family, and now Yunjin beside Mo's side has made up his mind not to marry and began to help Mo's take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard, and it is Yujin and Brocade who often serve by Mo's side, and Minwei's side is taken care of by Ruyi and Jinxiu, and Jinse is mostly just guarding the courtyard or talking to Lan's mother on behalf of Minwei.
Min Wei arrived at Mo's courtyard while thinking about it, and just entered the courtyard. I was almost dazzled by the scene in front of me, there were more than ten little girls standing in the courtyard, Mo was sitting in front of the main house, Yao's whole person stood not far behind Mo without any energy, and next to her was a woman she had never seen, since she was also standing behind Mo Shi, could it be Jiang Qinhan's concubine? Cui'er sat side by side on the right hand side of Mo's head with a belly that was not yet obvious and a happy face, while the first chair on the left hand side was empty, which seemed to be prepared for herself, and next to her sat Jiang Minting, who was staring at her desperately.
"Mother." Min Wei froze. walked to Mo's side before saluting and shouting, she and Mo have a tacit understanding, on such an occasion, you can't call you and me casually like in private. So Min Wei is destined to suffer a little bit, in order not to be caught by anyone because of these things, Min Wei waited until Mo nodded before asking again: "This is?" β
"It's nothing, it's just to pick some maids in the house, today your father has taken another concubine, and Huazhi has also found a happy pulse. As soon as your father was happy, he promoted Cui'er and Huazhi to aunt, plus the Aunt Xu of Xinna, it was time to add some maids, and it happened that it was empty today, so let Ya Po bring some people over, although there are three maids by your side now, but Ruyi is almost the age to be released, and it is time to pick two more to prepare. β
Min Wei couldn't help but look at the woman beside Mo Shi with some surprise when she heard Mo's words, it was really a concubine, and she was an aunt just after she came in, I don't know if Yao would vomit to death, Min Wei just glanced at Yao, nodded at Mo Shi and said, "Mother said yes, but it's better for mother to pick first." "Min Wei actually doesn't care very much about the maids around her, although she has grown up in this era for many years, she is still not used to being served in her bones, so she usually doesn't rely too much on these maids.
Mo didn't seem to mean to pick first, but said to Aunt Xu, who seemed to be a little restrained: "Aunt Xu, you just came in, and you didn't bring a maid, you can pick two first." After Mo's words were finished, he closed his eyes and recuperated, not looking at Aunt Xu, but after Minwei listened to Mo's words, she glanced at Aunt Xu, her face was full of restraint and unease, as if she wanted to say something but was a little timid to say it, Minwei didn't want to make a conclusion because of a glance, so she just glanced at it and walked to the empty chair and sat down.
After Min Wei sat down, she couldn't help but look at Cui'er opposite, compared to Aunt Xu, Min Wei was more curious, what would Yao's feel like to Cui'er, the maid who used to be next to her suddenly became pregnant and became an aunt, and she was on an equal footing with herself, and now it seems that Cui'er is living better, after all, Yao's is still standing, but Cui'er has a pregnant relationship and sits in front of Yao's, but Yao's has been diagnosed by the imperial doctor that she can't get pregnant, I don't know if Yao's heart will want to break Cui'er's bones?
Aunt Xu seemed to hesitate for a long time, and then felt that everyone except Mo and Min Wei were all looking at her, so she took two steps forward timidly, and after a few glances in the middle of the group of little girls, she picked out two ordinary-looking little girls who looked very thin, returned to Mo's side, and after saluting, she whispered very quickly with some trills: "Madam." The slave and maid have been chosen. β
Mo Shi nodded, opened his eyes and looked at Cui'er and Huazhi and said, "Since Aunt Xu has finished picking, the two of you are pregnant, let's look and pick a few." Cui'er stood up first and saluted Yao. I went to see those little girls, and Huazhi stood up happily and picked it up before Cui'er.
Mo didn't react to the different actions of the two, just waited for the two to finish picking, and glanced at the maid they had picked. Only then did he turn his head to look at Yao, his smile seemed to be a little deeper, and his voice could also be said softly: "Although Aunt Yao already has two maids by her side, it seems that there is no need to add more, but Aunt Yao is also spoiled by the master in the palm of her hand, and she can't let Aunt Yao and Cui'er generally only use two maids, so Aunt Yao might as well take advantage of the fact that there are two more maids now." β
Yao Shi listened to Mo Shi's words, and his whole body was shocked, and then he glanced at Mo Shi with resentment in his eyes, and then quickly lowered his head. The voice seemed to be a little vague and said: "Madame said that she laughed, where can the concubine be worthy of the person that the master puts in the palm of his hand, but the master can afford the concubine, the concubine dare not be complacent because of this, the maid around the concubine is enough, thank you Madame for your kindness." β
In Min Wei's ears, Yao's words seemed to be uttered with suppressed anger that had nowhere to vent, so he spoke very vaguely, and his head was always low, presumably because of the words that Mo said that the old man put in the palm of his hand and thought of the cold treatment he had received recently. That's why the love is out of control so obviously, it seems that Jiang Qinhan's influence on the Yao family is still very large, at least for the current Yao family.
"Since Aunt Yao said so, I won't force it. Then let Miss Six pick it next. Mo Shi should have heard something from Yao's words, but he didn't say much, just smiled faintly, and then turned his head to Jiang Minting and said.
Jiang Minting glared at Minwei with some smugness, and then walked towards the group of little girls, Jiang Minting went to the banquet with the Mo family. The more I understand the rules in the capital, so as long as there is no mistake on the face, no one will meddle in private, and Jiang Minting understands more is the habit of competing with each other among the ladies in the capital, everything that can be compared will be compared with the previous one, Jiang Minting is most unacceptable is that she can't compare with others, Jiang Minting was teased before because she only brought one maid when she went out, so at this moment she hopes that there can be two more maids by her side.
When Jiang Minting picked it, only Mo Shi and Min Wei were left without picking, but Mo Shi was not in a hurry to pick a maid, but said to everyone: "It's not too early, you all go back to your respective yards to eat." After Mo finished speaking, others were nothing, only Aunt Xu, who seemed a little cramped and uneasy, probably not understanding why Mo, as the head of the house, did not want to serve in the concubine room.
Mo Shi saw that everyone walked outside the courtyard very simply, only Aunt Xu seemed to hesitate for a moment before she said softly: "Slave maid slave maid stay and serve Mrs. Dinner." It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Mo Shi waved her hand to say no, and then said to Yujin, who had been standing aside, "Yujin, send Aunt Xu out." β
Mo Shi has made a very clear order to evict the guests, Aunt Xu left the courtyard with a look of anxiety, and when everyone left, Mo Shi said to Min Wei: "There is a maid you like here, if not, we will eat first, and let Ya Po change a few more in the afternoon." "Mo's is worried that Minwei will pick a few maids at random, so tell SΓΉ Minwei first, if you don't pick it, you can change it again, you don't have to pick it now.
Min Wei glanced inside the group of little girls, didn't move, just looked at one of the little girls and asked, "What's your name?" The little girl who was stared at by Min Wei seemed to be a little wooden, a little silly, at this time, she was looked at by Min Wei and it took a while to react that Min Wei asked herself, her appearance was just ordinary, she was a little tall, although she was not thick eyebrows, but her eyes were very big, and after reacting that Min Wei was asking herself, the whole person became a little nervous, but the voice of the reply was quite clear and crisp, "My name is Brother Zhao." β
After Brother Zhao finished saying his name, he looked at Min Wei with wide eyes, his eyes were full of hope, because Brother Zhao was a little tall, and Min Wei couldn't tell how old she was for a while, so she asked directly, "How old are you?" As soon as Min Wei's voice fell, she heard Brother Zhao's voice reply loudly and urgently: "I'm ten years old this year, miss, don't look at my young age, I can do anything." β
After Brother Zhao finished speaking, he was glared at by Ya Po, Brother Zhao immediately quieted down, didn't dare to say a word, Min Wei didn't care, just looked Brother Zhao up and down a few times, he was about the same age as himself, but he was half a head taller than himself, it seems that he will grow in the future, it doesn't seem that he has many eyes, and the clothes on his body are not as good as those next to him, but he is very clean, and his hair is combed very neatly, Min Wei turned her head to Mo Shi and said, "Just her." β
Seeing that Min Wei had made a good choice, Mo Shi also took a few looks, and then said to Min Wei: "If you like her, then her." And the Mo family seems to have a candidate in mind, and after selecting the younger brother, he ordered two more maids and said to Ya Po: "Keep this one, and those two, okay, you can take the rest away, Yun Jin, you take Granny Kong to the account room to settle the money." β
Ya Po left the few maids ordered by Mo Shi alone, and then smiled at Mo Shi and said: "The old woman has thanked Madame for taking care of her here, and if Madame wants any maids in the future, just look for me Mrs. Kong." After finishing speaking, he saluted the two of them, bowed down and followed Yun Jin to the outside of the courtyard, and the little girls who were picked up and left looked at the three of them with envy and then left the courtyard behind Kong Pozi.
"Okay, since we've picked them all, let's have dinner too, and when Yunjin comes back later, you can take this girl back to your yard." Mo waited until Ya Po left, and then said to Min Wei, the maid that Min Wei picked, Mo Shi only felt that it was very in line with Min Wei's always temperament, although she knew that Min Wei would argue with others, but most of the time Min Wei put away her claws, so most of the maids she picked out were quiet and honest like this.
