"Mother, please tell us how you got hurt like this back then, right?"

"It's not that after giving birth to you, when I went up the mountain with your father to chop wood, I accidentally fell down the mountain and fell like this. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Your father is fine, but he is sick and dead. ”

That's what my father used to tell them. But Mo Li and Mo Qian always didn't believe that before their father died, his expression was as gloomy as his mother was at this time.

"Which of us is older and who is smaller?"

The woman opened her eyes and looked at them for a moment and said, "I don't remember." ”

The brothers had no choice but to give up.

The next night, Moli received a letter from Rong'er, and the brothers read the little poem written by Xia Zhongshan.

"These two princes have some talent?"

"Now my mother's illness is probably only Rong'er can help cure her with acupuncture, she also said in the letter that her mother is in this situation, and she can speak, I am afraid that she was relieved by the blood tongue in the past, but the internal injuries are blocked by the meridians, and only in the future with acupuncture and strange medicine, slowly treated, her statement is very similar to what the previous doctor said."

However, she said that the next time she would come out of the valley in the fall. Do you have to go to the capital tomorrow? ”

"Rong'er ordered, this note must be delivered to Anping Hou in person. Zheng Qianjing's side, you have to keep an eye on it, I estimate that she will be in Chengguo Mansion in the past few days, and she will go to the South China Sea in a few days. My mother can talk and swallow food, and she is much better than she used to be demented, and the water is flowing out. So now let's take care of Anping Mansion first. ”

The brothers discussed their separate actions, and Mo Li was not in a hurry to reply to Rong'er, and rushed to the capital early the next morning.

In order not to attract attention, Rong'er ordered Mo Li to secretly go to Wenqu Academy to find Ying Ze first.

In the afternoon, Ying Ze got out of school and left the academy, and Laiguo was already waiting outside the gate with a small carriage. The autumn exam is approaching, Ying Ze's mind is all on the exam, out of the hospital, say goodbye to the classmates, hurriedly to his own carriage, with his head down and about to get on the car.

A figure in Tsing Yi came out next to him, one step ahead of him, and got into the carriage.

"Who?" As soon as Ying Zeze's hand was pressed on the sword at Cai's waist, the man whispered inside, "I'm shit." ”

Laiguo turned his head, sweating, there were many people coming and going outside the courtyard gate, he didn't notice that a person suddenly got into the car, I heard that it was "shit", this voice was indeed familiar, I couldn't help but smile, wanted to speak, but was stopped by Ying Ze making a gesture.

Ying Ze looked at the people in the car, it was really shit, got into the car, and Laiguo slowly drove the carriage back home.

Mo Li first ridiculed: "The second son is becoming more and more successful, he won the spring test, his face is full of joy, and there are really a lot of happy events in Anping Mansion this year." ”

"My sister told you to come to me, right? There must be something important. Ying Ze smiled, this year, he has taken off his former playfulness and got rid of a heroic man with a good temperament.

"The third lady asked you to take me into the house and deliver a token to the Hou Ye in person." Moli is serious and authentic.

Ying Ze thought for a moment and nodded.

Gu's middle-aged pregnancy, less than three months old, is not suitable to move around too much, most of them lie quietly in the house. Xie is younger, almost three months pregnant, and most of the time on weekdays is either recuperating or walking in the garden, listening to the piano and playing the piano. Ying Qingyuan came back in the afternoon today, and after going to see Xie Shi first, he was accompanying his wife in the house at this time.

Yu Xiang has become the special chef of Gu and Xie, and is responsible for their food and drink every day.

She sent Gu Shi half an afternoon's fetal soup, watched her eat, ate some dried fruit food, came out with a plate, and met the second son who came to ask for peace, then turned back to the house and said, "The second son is here." ”

"Hmm." Ying Qingyuan responded inside, and at this time, he had to come back from school to see his mother.

Ying Ze came in from outside, Gu Shi was lying on the soft couch outside and noticed that it was abnormal, since she was pregnant, he first went back to his small courtyard to change his clothes and then came back, but today he didn't.

"How is Mother today?" Ying greeted him, with a subtle eagerness in his tone.

"I'm fine. Why are you a little in the dust today? ”

Ying Qingyuan looked at his son and asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

You should whisper a few words in his ear.

Ying Qingyuan's mouth was half open, a pair of refined eyes were stunned, and then smiled, "Ask him to come to the study to see me." ”

You should run out.

Gu Shi looked at her husband, he whispered a few words to her, Gu Shi was stunned, and nodded. Ying Qingyuan asked Xuehua Haosheng to look at his wife, and went to the study.

should take Moli to the inner room of the study,

"You go out and watch first." Ying Qingyuan said in correspondence.

You should go out and keep watch at the door.

Mo Li saluted him, Ying Qingyuan politely asked him to sit down, but he was embarrassed to call him shit, at this time Xuehua brought tea and put it on the table, and then bowed his head and went out.

"Please have tea." Ying Qingyuan is not like children, opening a "shit" and closing a "shit", calling happily and naturally, after all, he is an elder with status, but thinking of this smelly, vulgar and funny nickname, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Mori, thank you, uncle." If it were based on Moli's original temperament, he would not be so close and polite to him, but this is Rong'er's father, so he naturally has to be respected.

"So you have a name? They thought you didn't have a name. Ying Qingyuan smiled, looking at this man with slightly dark skin and not outstanding enough, his respect did not hide the coldness and arrogance on his body, this is not an ordinary kind of goodness, the first time they met, they did not call him Hou Ye because of their low status, but they called him "uncle" very freely, which made people have to find out and think deeply.

Mo Li met his eyes, and also felt that this middle-aged beautiful man was by no means an ordinary vulgar prince, no wonder Rong'er was born so beautiful, just looking at her father, she knew that the dragon and phoenix had roots.

Although he was born in a poor family, how could it be because of the princely that he was subservient and charming? smiled lightly, took a sip of tea, and asked with concern, "Are Aunt and Aunt Xie okay?" ”

Ying Qingyuan knew that he was the "messenger" who helped Yuqin and Rong'er relay letters, he did do a lot of help, and now Rong'er called him to come to the mansion again, he and Rong'er must be very good friends, so he knows some things about Anping Mansion.

It's very strange, Ying Qingyuan doesn't reject this child who was born in a poor family, but he likes his hardness a little, he has read countless people, Mo Li is not a person who easily bends his waist and bows his head, respecting him is not flattering, it is a kind of "respect" that makes people feel very special, this Mo is not simple, and that special heart makes him like it a little strangely.

"It's all right in the house. Rong'er is not the average person who trusts you—this friend. Ying Qingyuan is not in a hurry to talk about business, it is a father's intuition, he wants to know more about this man first.

Mo Li's cheeks were slightly hot, but a pair of clear eyes calmly met his scrutiny, and said with a smile: "It's just that I fell in love with Rong'er." ”

Ying Qingyuan just drank a sip of tea, choking and coughing, he called his daughter "Rong'er" nothing, but his tone made people can't tell the taste.

"Uncle beware." Mo Li didn't want to dodge on this issue, so he didn't hide some special emotions, and stood up with concern to help him beat his back.

Ying Qingyuan waved his hand and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, feeling that he had lost to Mo Li just now, and couldn't help but smile, "My Rong'er likes you very much, right?" ”

Mo Li was questioned by him head-on, and he was a little embarrassed, he shouldn't have broken it, but the elders asked directly, and it was inappropriate not to answer, so he sat down and said, "We are indeed very talkative." ”

"You see each other often?" Ying Qingyuan couldn't imagine what his daughter was doing outside these days.

Mo Li shook his head, "How can we see each other often now?" It's not the same by letter. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, "This is the letter that Rong'er entrusted me to hand over to you in person." I'm afraid you have to go to the palace, and after you enter the palace, I will send a letter to Rong'er. ”

Ying Qingyuan took the letter, opened it and saw that there was a small calligraphy and painting in the letter, a poem written, read the poem, his face changed slightly, and he quickly read his daughter's letter, and then when Mo burned the letter, he put the small calligraphy and painting into his arms.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow when I go to the palace. For the past two days, you will live in the East Courtyard with Ze'er. I'll take you to the East Courtyard. ”

"Daddy. I'll just take him back to the courtyard. ”

You should come in from the outside.

Ying Qingyuan smiled, "I want to talk to Mo Li more." ”

"There's Uncle Law and Zaize." Mo Li also wanted to contact Ying Qingyuan more to understand more.

Ying Qing smiled: "I owe you a favor in Anping Mansion." ”

Mo Li smiled: "I owe Rong'er a lot of silver." ”

Ying Qingyuan and Ying Ze laughed, this should be together, as if there was a natural tacit understanding.

Out of the study, Ying Qingyuan and Ying Ze took Mo Li around the garden and took him to the east courtyard.

Lang Wenqi also lives in the east courtyard now, mainly reading in the study during the day, and when he stays, he comes back, and the two discuss their homework together. The shit came before, and I guessed that there was something important, but at this time, I couldn't read in the study, so I wandered back and forth in the yard, and waited for it to come back.

Hearing the sound of conversation outside, he walked out and saw Hou Ye personally accompanying the shit in, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye to Hou Ye, and stepped aside.

And they went to the study of the regent. There are two rooms in the study, and there are two large bookcases inside and outside, Lang Wenqi uses the outer room, and the inner room should be used, and there are a lot of books on the two bookcases, and some article pages.

"I was just trying to see how you've been preparing for the exam lately." Ying Qingyuan first picked up the article on the bookcase outside and read it carefully.

Lang Wenqi's writing is exquisite, and he is also very insightful when it comes to topics, and he is very talented in finance and taxation. Next year, he aims to be in the top three of the Tobu.

"Qi'er work hard." Ying Qingyuan is very appreciative of Lang Wenqi's articles and abilities, his brothers are working outside while studying, helping Gufu and Anping Mansion to manage things, and have gained a lot of practical experience, Lang Wenqi has a talent in this area, there should be no problem in the second exam, at least next year into the top 20 of the household science examination, his birth and age, in fact, next year will not be in the top three, it is already extraordinary. It's just that Rong'er has set a goal for him, hoping that he can get the top three.

"Qi'er must work hard." Lang Wenqi said respectfully.

Mo Li glanced at the article in Ying Qingyuan's hand on the side, and secretly praised Lang Wenqi in his heart, he was so capable at the age of fifteen, and he could write well, and he could write good articles that understood how to manage the world, this is a young genius. It is no wonder that Ying Qingyuan looks at him like his own son.

Ying Qingyuan entered the inner room, picked up Zaize's article and looked at it, thinking for a moment without making a sound.

"Daddy, please." The attitude of not allowing his father should be a little drumming in his heart.

Ying Qingyuan smiled lightly and waved his hand, "According to your foundation, it's a bit of a hurry now. I can't find anything wrong with your current article. After all, you have not been in contact with the affairs of the military department, but with Guoqiang with you, I think the second test should not matter much, if you fail the third test next year, it doesn't matter, try again in two years, and you will follow your Uncle Feng to learn more practical things in the military department in these two years. ”

Ying Ze didn't dare to tell his father that as long as he tried the second time, he would definitely be able to pass the third test, so he nodded a few times and said, "Ze'er must go all out." ”

"Wenbo's second test must be no problem. What do you seem to have discussed? Wenbo is also very good at the affairs of the household department, why does he want to attack the ministry? Ying Qingyuan asked with a smile.

Lang Wenqi said: "What my brother means is that if my brothers are in the household department in the future, it will be nothing when the position is low, if the position is high in the future, there is no reason to be together, unless one serves the other." My brother's knowledge is better than mine, and he doesn't want to press me. ”

"Enze is now in the Ministry of Works, if you are all hit, I think you will be one of you close to entering the Ministry of Punishment." Ying Qingyuan said with a smile, thinking in his mind, if there is a letter that he is not going to do something with Rong'er, this kid is suitable for the Criminal Department. His eyes turned to Mori, "You still have a brother at home, right?" ”

Mo Li nodded, didn't wait for him to ask, and said with a smile: "There is also a brother named Mo Qian, who takes care of his mother at home." ”

"Do you usually read?"

"They all read and learn words, especially the Moqian articles do well."

"He didn't take the exam?"

"He may be preparing for the exam from next year."

"You don't want to refer to it?"

"Next year, I just want to cure my mother's illness first."

"What's wrong with your mother?"

"Not long after my mother gave birth to us, she and my father went up the mountain to chop firewood, and fell down the mountain and became paralyzed, so we stayed in bed for many years."

Hey, this is a poor child. Ying Qingyuan understood his distress, nodded, and didn't say anything superfluous.

At this time, Laiguo said outside, "The little goose is here again." ”

Lang Wenqi's face was flushed.

Ying Qingyuan smiled and glanced at him, "Congqing sent someone to bring you food again, right?" ”

Ying Ze said with a smile: "The second sister cares about Wen Qi very much. ”

"Don't stress too much. As long as Congqing likes you, try it twice, and it doesn't matter what happens next year, your aunt and I already treat you as our own people. ”

Ying Qingyuan said this, Mo Li understood everything, it turned out that Wenqi was the quasi-second son-in-law of Anping Mansion, and his heart moved, if Lang Wenqi wins the top three next year, is it too embarrassing for Rong'er to be like this? But he really doesn't like officialdom, Rong'er definitely doesn't care if he is an official or not, but Anping Mansion has a face.

"If you're short of people at home, I'll help you add a few people. Young people, starting a family, are indispensable for business, but they can't completely move their careers because of family affairs. Through such a period of contact, Lao Jianghu basically discovered the relationship between Moli and Rong'er. In fact, he doesn't care if Mo Li is an official or not, as long as his daughter is happy, but a man has a good career, his daughter can live a decent life.

Is this a hint at him? Mo Li didn't want to show his edge too much, and he didn't want to brush Ying Qingyuan's mind at this time, so he nodded and said, "We will work hard." ”

Ying Qingyuan's heart was relieved, this Mo's brain is not an ordinary good man, and he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he looks very experienced. As long as he can understand the words, at least he will think about the future.
