Chapter XII
Min Wei thought more than once about letting Mo return to live in the big courtyard, but Mo sometimes became inexplicably stubborn and insisted on living in this place, and finally under Min Wei's coquettish offensive, she was just arranged in the big yard, but she never refused to leave this small yard, Min Wei had no choice but to accompany Mo to continue to live in the small yard, but the small courtyard has limited rooms, and the light in the big yard is good, so she will often go to the study of the big yard to read.
Min Wei walked to the door of one of the rooms and knocked lightly, and Mo's cheerful voice immediately sounded in the door, "Is it Wei'er?" Come on in. Min Wei pushed open the door and walked in, and after entering, behind the screen on the left was Mo's living place, and on the right was a somewhat simple bookshelf, on which some books Min Wei had basically read.
Thanks to these books, she already knew when she was more than 3 years old that the place she had traveled through did not exist in real history, although she once deeply doubted that this world was so similar to the Ming Dynasty in her previous life, including her father's official position, and the capital in the south, and the land album of the Southern Qin Dynasty drawn by the government were somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty.
But it is very obvious that this world is not the Ming Dynasty, because the ruler of this dynasty is the emperor's surname Zhou instead of Zhu, and the current emperor is a child who is only a teenager, and his experience is somewhat the same as the Kangxi he knew in his previous life, they are all teenagers who ascended the throne, as for the future, Min Wei herself doesn't know if it will be the same.
Min Wei just glanced at the books, and then cast her eyes behind the screen, behind the screen there was a slight sound of footsteps from far and near, and then a light green skirt appeared on the side of the screen, along the skirt corner appeared Mo Shi's somewhat haggard face, Min Wei saluted very regularly and shouted 'Mother', Mo's eyes flashed a hint of light, and then responded with some relief.
Min Wei understands that the Mo family cares very much about her etiquette, and she absolutely does not allow herself to make mistakes, she strictly requires herself according to the standards of the family's daughters, Min Wei knows that Mo's insistence actually stems from the origin of the Mo family, for a woman who was born in a business, marrying into a family like the Jiang family, it will indeed be harder than ordinary people, so she will be strict with every action of Min Wei.
Mo naturally didn't know what Min Wei was thinking, but he felt relieved about Min Wei's smoother and smoother movements, but Mo just put this relief in his heart, and was stunned for a moment before he spoke again: "Let's go." After finishing speaking, I wanted to take Min Wei's hand, but in the end I just took a step and walked out.
Although Mo didn't hold Min Wei's hand, the speed of walking on the road slowed down significantly, and he even paused slightly when he saw that Min Wei was a little struggling, and Min Wei always followed stubbornly, without the slightest intention of asking for help.
The two of them stopped and walked like this, and came to the old lady's house, the old lady's health has become worse and worse in the past two years, and the doctor has already said that it is only a matter of these two years, think about it, the old lady is more than 50 years today, even if it is properly maintained, there is no way to stop the illness, and now the old lady is recuperating in bed all day, and it is inevitable that she feels that the days are boring, so she will often let Minwei come over to talk to herself.
Mo Shi took Min Wei to the old lady's room, knocked on the door, and waited until the old lady answered before pushing the door in, and the girls in the room were really taken away, the old lady's temper has become more and more strange in the past two years, and she always dislikes the room for being too noisy, so there are fewer and fewer girls in the house, and they are either let out or driven out by the old lady.
Mo Shi walked to the inner room and saw a figure squatting in front of the old lady's couch, and before Mo Shi could speak, the figure had already stood up first, and said softly with a smile: "Brother and sister are here." Min Wei didn't need to look at it to know that the person who came was the fourth aunt Xiao Chen, she was her grandmother's niece, although she looked a little similar to her grandmother, but her personality was very different from her grandmother, her personality was very supple, just like every woman in this world.
Mo Shi bowed for a while, called 'Fourth Sister-in-law' and saluted in the direction of the bed, called 'Mother', and then stood silently and quietly in the corner, Min Wei stepped forward and saluted, shouted 'Fourth Aunt', and then took two steps towards the bed behind her, shouted 'Grandmother', and then saw a thin and age-spotted hand stretched out from the bed, beckoning in the direction of Min Wei.
Min Wei took a few steps forward, and Xiao Chen on the side of the bed also took two steps back, Min Wei walked to the side of the bed and saw that the old lady on the bed was a little older than when she looked at it a few days ago, her eyes had completely lost the bit of sharpness before, and there was more love, although the corners of her mouth were still slightly pursed, but she was no longer the old lady with a ruddy face and full of spirit when she held herself and laughed that year.
Min Wei saw the deep and shallow doting in the eyes of the old lady when she saw her, her nose was sore, and there were some tears in her eyes, no matter what the old lady's intention was to keep herself by her side back then, in the end she didn't owe herself the slightest, even if she had all kinds of disapproval in her heart for her strength and all kinds of embarrassments for Mo's family.
"Little girl is here." Min Wei was still thinking about the rights and wrongs of the old lady and Mo's past, the old lady had already raised her skinny hand, gently touched Min Wei's face, and then the smile on her face was a little more.
The old lady seemed to have some energy, and then reached out and touched Min Wei's neatly combed bun, held Min Wei's hand, and forced herself to sit up, Xiao Chen, who was closest to the bed, immediately walked to the bed, put a pillow under the old lady, and helped the old lady sit up with Min Wei, and then continued to retreat to the place where she was standing.
The old lady looked at Min Wei carefully, then at the silent Mo Shi in the corner, and at her niece Xiao Chen, who was standing a little closer to her in front of Mo Shi, her eyes revealed some indescribable feelings, she turned her head, patted Min Wei's hand, and then said: "Xiao Nannan, you go out and wait first, and I will talk to your mother and aunt." ”
Min Wei looked up at the old lady, as if she wanted to stay and take care of her, she had heard the doctor's words a long time ago, and everyone did not avoid her, because she was still young, but she was not a child in the real sense, so she knew a lot of things.
But the plea in her eyes did not impress the old lady, the old lady just nodded slightly, and then let go of Min Wei's hand, Min Wei desperately suppressed the tears in her eyes, and then stood up and walked out.
