Mo Xiang said what she said, Mo Xinlan didn't necessarily believe it, but Mo Xiang had always been dedicated to her, that is, she knew that Mo Xiang loved to take advantage of it, and Mo Xinlan also believed in Mo Xiang more.

After all, no matter how good Ah Jiu is to her, she is not a half-sister.

Mo Xinlan was a little more wary of the Jiang family.

put the account books, title deeds and other things in place, and slept peacefully under the service of Mo Xiang and others, until she lay on the bed, Mo Xinlan remembered that her cousin seemed to have an interest in someone.

The uncle's only sister-in-law, Zhou Xiangrui, secretly admired the eighth sister Mo Xinqing, and he also had a good impression of Mo Xinlan himself, I don't know when the eldest uncle Xia said to Zhou Xiangrui that his future wife would only be one of the two cousins, so Zhou Xiangrui was very close to Mo Xinlan's sisters.

Mo Xinqing often goes to her hometown in Shandong, and Mo Xinlan enjoys the love of Cousin Zhou.

Ah Jiu is smart, lively, and sharp-toothed, thinking that after Cousin Zhou meets Ah Jiu, he will gradually forget his love for her and Mo Xinqing, and concentrate on Ah Jiu.

Even if Cousin Zhou is unforgettable for a while, he has always been honest and respectful to Ah Jiu.

If you want to keep the wealth of the Fuguo Mansion, it is not easy to rely on Mo Xinlan alone, if you can get the help of the Jiang family, the foundation of the Fuguo Mansion will be much more stable.

Ah Jiu married into the Zhou family, Mo Xinlan can also be more at ease with the Jiang family, even for Ah Jiu, the Jiang family does not dare to treat the third brother Mo Junyong badly, or make things difficult for the future third sister-in-law.

Mo Xinlan slowly closed her eyes, she had to help Cousin Zhou make arrangements, as for her own marriage...... Mo Xinlan also wants to work harder, if she really can't impress the prince of Chengguo, she would rather give up than make the family unhappy because of marriage.

Ah Jiu can't be liked by the Duchess of Chengguo, she doesn't necessarily can't.

Lu Lingfeng was handsome, her face swayed in front of her, and she faintly looked forward to it in her heart.

*******

Mo House. Mother Li accompanied Mo Xinlan's nurse Mother Zhou with a flattering smile to drink, Mother Li, who was originally in the inner house, has changed her scenery since she beat Aunt Zhou's return, and Jiang re-established the rules in the inner house according to Ah Jiu's ideas, even if the old lady is in the yard, she has to follow the rules of the house.

Li's mother was unwilling to go to Zhuangzi with Aunt Zhou, so she volunteered to stay, and according to her words to Aunt Zhou, she was to act as a-stirring stick in the back house. Let Jiang not have a good time. Not to mention the constraints everywhere, it is also necessary to make the Jiang family's life unpleasant, and by the way, you can also help Aunt Zhou take care of and serve Miss Eight.

Mo Xinqing doesn't look down on Li's mother, who is greedy for money. had a mediocre attitude towards Mother Li, so Mother Li could only bother to attach the second lady Mo Xinlan, and invited Mo Xinlan's nurse to drink several times.

"It's still the old sister who is blessed, the sophomore lady. Not only are the children and grandchildren running, but even the Moxiang girl is like a noble lady. ”

Li's mother diligently persuaded him to drink. I know that Mother Zhou is very loyal to Mo Xinlan, and Miss Kua's second sister is outstanding, and by the way, she is excellent at accumulating ink fragrance.

Zhou's mother looked proud, and naturally she talked a lot after drinking. "Sister Lan is my grandmother, she will never forget me, and I swore in front of my wife. has protected Sister Lan all her life, and now Sister Lan is in charge of Mrs. Lan's dowry. How can outsiders rest assured? Or your own family is reliable. ”

"The old sister is right, the second lady values the old sister, and it is not in vain that the old sister worries about the second miss."

"I'll talk about you with Sister Lan." Zhou's mother drank wine and took some benefits, and they were all born from the Fuguo Mansion, so she naturally stood on the same line, "I can't see the ...... over there."

She pointed in the direction where Jiang lived, "I can't see that her family is dominant, and she takes all the things left by her wife, that is, Sister Lan is sensible, treats her as a mother, treats Ah Jiu as a younger sister, and changes her home, how can she say that she drove Aunt Zhou away, and drove away?" ”

"It's just that she doesn't look like she can tolerate people, and she is so jealous."

Mother Li just picked it up, "The second lady has enough to chew on her fingers for a year, and I serve people everywhere, which is my family...... has been helping the second lady to cook the shop, but he can't stay still when he is suddenly idle. If a man is too idle and doesn't hide it from his old sister, I don't worry about it, right? ”

Mother Zhou frowned, "Madame's dowry can't be missing, and we can't take unfortunate money as slaves." ”

"Look at what you say, how can I disrespect my master?"

Mother Li poured wine for Mother Zhou again, "They are all from the Fuguo Mansion, I am looking forward to the second miss, the third young master, and the eighth miss are good, the second miss has outstanding conduct, and she is valued by the palace, that is, she lives under that hand, and the person who marries in the future will be the master of the I person, I often say that the second miss is the top blessed, that is, the princess is also made." If I can keep up with the second miss, then I really have accumulated yin virtue in my previous life, how dare I have the mind of betraying the master? ”

"This is reasonable, our wealth does not depend on the master? If the master is good, we are good. ”

"That's right, that's right."

After Zhou's mother was full of wine and food, Li's mother asked her little granddaughter to send Zhou's mother back in person, and gave her two silver tickets, although Zhou's mother was drunk, she also knew the value of the silver tickets, plus the bracelet on Moxiang's hand, Zhou's mother made up her mind to help Li's mother.

Over the years, Li's mother has not forgotten or bullied her when she was in the limelight, and now Li's mother is bowing down in front of her, and she is careful to be careful, and her pores are open as if she has eaten the fruits of life, and she is very comfortable.

"Daughter."

Zhou's mother said to Mo Xiang, who was fiddling with a box of jewelry; "You talk to the second lady, and the shop will let Li's mother's man continue to manage it."

Mo Xiang smiled faintly, "Mom just drank two meals of wine from her house, so she let out this kind of fat shortage?" The second lady has the right idea, how can she listen to my advice? ”

"It's not just two drinks, isn't there a silver ticket for this?" Mother Zhou's eyes were drunk, she touched Moxiang's hand, and patted the bracelet on her wrist, "My girl is really handsome, in the future, if you follow Sister Lan, you will definitely have a good future, so you will not live up to your appearance, others don't know you, I don't know...... Sister Lan will definitely listen to your words. ”

Mo Xinlan had promised Mo Xiang to be a roommate before, and promised her aunt's position.

As a result, Mo Xiang became more and more different from Mo Xinlan, and she was more concerned about Mo Xinlan's future husband candidate, in the dead of night. Mo Xiang will secretly think that the emperor can be matched with the second lady, and Lu Lingfeng, the prince of Chengguo, is a top candidate in terms of family background, appearance, and talent.

If she can marry with the second lady to the Chengguo Mansion, Mo Xiang can wake up with a smile in her dreams.

Mo Xiang took off the bracelet, and there was a little more high-minded command: "I will talk to the second lady about this, but the errand is given." She is not allowed to be greedy for Miss Mo's silver. In the future...... If she doesn't know what's going on, I can help her and let the family fall into the mud. ”

"This is natural, Mother Li is still very sensible. Maybe you can give some dividends every month, but this is a fat shortage. ”

Don't dare to be greedy for Mo Xinlan's silver, and you can always make some benefits by managing the store.

The next day, Jiang detained Ah Jiu, who wanted to sneak into the study to accompany Mo Guanjie to study. Ordered someone to fetch the account book, "You won't finish reading it today." Don't go anywhere. ”

Ah Jiu could only sit down honestly and help the Jiang family take inventory, in fact, these mundane things were not difficult for her, compared to reading the account book. told the housekeeper to mother, Ah Jiu preferred to go to the study, or read with his father. Or to defend with my father about a certain saint's words.

Jiang said: "Ah Jiu, you are a woman. No matter how good your studies are, you can't go to the imperial examination like your third brother. ”

"Madam, Second Miss has arrived."

"Let Sister Lan in."

When Jiang saw Mo Xinlan, he always had a smile on his face, Mo Xinlan was very outstanding, and a purple Jinhu satin twig dress was particularly eye-catching on her, in recent days, Mo Xinlan was full of glory, charming and graceful, and her every move was like a beauty stained with ink, which was particularly moving.

"Mother Ann."

"Second sister Ann."

Ah Jiu put down the brush and bent his knees before Mo Xinlan saluted, even if he was reluctant to settle the account, Ah Jiu would not show any displeasure in front of Mo Xinlan.

"Come, sit down and talk."

Jiang asked Mo Xinlan to sit down and instructed Linglong to bring good tea, "Sister Lan is wearing this, is she going out?" “

Mo Xinlan said: "Today, there is a gathering in the Poetry Society, and it is set to be in the head of the Hanlin Academy. I also ask my mother to be accommodating, and I want to go with my ninth sister. ”

Ah Jiu's eyes blinked when she heard this, and Jiang knew that this was her heartbeat.

"Ah Jiu is not good at poetry, will he embarrass Sister Lan?"

"There are also sisters in the poetry club who are not good at poetry, but they are looking for a poetry to get together, not in poetry and songs, and the ninth sister is not without ink, but she can't get the first place for a while, and she can always cope with the past."

Mo Xinlan said with a smile: "The ninth sister is innocent and lively, she always has to go out to see the world and get along with Miss Boudoir." If it were someone else's family, I wouldn't invite the ninth sister, the Yuan family style is very good, and the people who went this time are all well-known ladies, which is just right to introduce the ninth sister. ”

Jiang nodded and said: "In this way, it will bother Sister Lan, if Ah Jiu is disobedient, you can discipline her." ”

"The ninth sister is well-behaved and intelligent, and her mother is too worried."

"Ah Jiu, you must not cause trouble to your second sister, you know?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

Ah Jiu nodded obediently and threw a grateful smile at Mo Xinlan, it's good to be able to go out.

Jiang also hopes that Ah Jiu can have a few more friends of the right age, so that Ah Jiu can hang around Mo Guanjie all day long, and open his mouth and say how Uncle Lu is, how is it, and a young lady like Ah Jiu will not all respect Lu Tianyang, and the vision of appreciating talents should not be far behind.

"One more thing." When Mo Xinlan was waiting for Ah Jiu to change his clothes, she said to Jiang: "I want Mother Li's man to continue to manage the shop in the imperial capital, and in the future, Mother doesn't have to assign errands to him, Mother Li...... It's always the person she stays, and my mother is not easy to deal with, so it's better to let her go to my hospital, and I will help my mother discipline her. ”

Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to see the ink fragrance behind Mo Xinlan, and pursed his lips, how could she hide the recent movements of the back house from her?

Originally, Jiang thought that Li's mother was jumping up and down in vain, but who knew that it really made Li's mother impress Mo Xinlan.

What should I say about Mo Xinlan?

Without Aunt Zhou watching, how much silver would Mother Li's family have to be greedy?

At least in terms of business, the Jiang family admires Aunt Zhou very much, if Mo Xinlan seeks stability, her biological mother's dowry will be preserved, and once she is eager for quick success, she may lose a lot of silver.

"It is said that Sister Lan'er will not arrange for me to take care of the dowry shop, but since you talk about it in front of me today, I will say more."

Jiang Shi pointed to the point, "The account book must be checked diligently, and the courage of the stewards must not be fattened, although the water is clear, there are no fish, but it is not possible to raise a group of minions who betray the master in a daze." Li's mother is an old man in the house, I have not been in the capital for more than ten years, and I don't know her well. I've heard people talk about her man...... Lack of steadiness in doing things, quick success. ”

Mo Xinlan listened respectfully, "My daughter remembers her mother's teachings. ”

Get! Jiang Shi knew at a glance that Mo Xinlan didn't take it to heart at all, just coping with things, and said, "It's good that you have a sense of proportion." “

If Ah Jiu dared to take her words as wind in his ears, Jiang would have stepped forward to teach Ah Jiu's ears a lesson.

When it comes to the dowry of the original concubine and the original partner, Jiang would rather have one less. Talking too much will make you sensitive and suspicious. Mo Xinlan, who was suspicious of her stepmother, thought too much.

"Mother, second sister, I've picked it up."

Ah Jiu stepped forward with a smile. The pink dress, the head rope wrapped in small beads, the big eyes, and the thick eyelashes are slightly upturned. It seems that she is extremely cute, and a bright atmosphere hides the brightness of Ah Jiu's facial features. Delicate but not charming, pretty but not glamorous.

Jiang nodded with satisfaction, not stealing Mo Xinlan's limelight, Ah Jiu has some of his own characteristics.

This is how the ladies who have not yet reached the end should be.

Jiang Shi looked at Ah Jiu no matter how good. On the contrary, Mo Xinlan's pearls are round and jade, extravagant, and stable and stable. But it lacks the vigor of a girl.

She couldn't help but wonder what happened to Aunt Zhou Mo Xinlan?

made Mo Xinlan so mature and dull.

She was secretly glad to have raised Mo Xinlan. Or...... Still not to be wrongfully killed?

However, Jiang also knows that Mo Xinlan's appearance is still very attractive, those famous ladies all want their daughters-in-law to be stable and have the style of an eldest woman, but as a mother, she doesn't want Ah Jiu to be too precocious.

Jiang Shi smiled and ordered: "You have to listen to your second sister, don't be naughty, you know?" ”

"Got it."

Ah Jiu raised a smile and grabbed Mo Xinlan's arm, "I won't embarrass the second sister." ”

Mo Xinlan smiled slightly, gave a blessing, and left with Ah Jiu.

On the way, Ah Jiu asked, "Who are there at the poetry meeting?" Who makes the best poems? ”

"In addition to the young lady of the Poetry Society, Sister Yuan will also invite several talented people in the capital, rich and noble sons."

“…… And the foreign man? ”

"Naturally."

Ah Jiu was a little disappointed, thinking that the poetry would be very elegant, but who knew that there was still a group of young girls who were showing off their poetry talents, in order to make a name for themselves or hope to find a lover.

Mo Xinlan didn't notice Ah Jiu's abnormality, at their age, it was very important to marry someone who was beneficial to the family, "Sister Jiu, let me tell you." ”

"Huh?" Seeing Mo Xinlan's cautious face, Ah Jiu asked, "You say." ”

"I don't care if you learn your father's style or not, at the poetry meeting, you are not allowed to speak ill of Miss Han, and Miss Zhuge is the youngest daughter of the servant of the ministry, you had better stay away from her, after all, the future of the servant is not very good, I am worried that she will entangle you."

"Second sister is too worried, I just don't like Mrs. Han, and I won't implicate others, in the same way, the person who has a relationship with my father is Uncle Li, Zhuge Shilang, and I don't know him? It's only the first time I've met Miss Zhuge with her, how could she get entangled with me? Besides, Zhuge Shilang has not been dismissed from office, so alienating Miss Zhuge is not the behavior of a person who tends to be inflammatory? ”

"Ninth sister......" Mo Xinlan pressed her forehead weakly, and she had never gained the upper hand with Ah Jiu's reasoning, "Everyone else knows how to avoid evil, you have to cause trouble for the family to be happy?" It's always right to be careful in the imperial capital. ”

Ah Jiu said: "What the second sister is worried about, I understand, don't worry, I will never embarrass my father and second sister." ”

Mo Xinlan sighed: "I hope." ”

The mansion of Lord Yuan, the head of the Hanlin Academy, arrived, and Ah Jiu got out of the carriage with Mo Xinlan and went to the flower hall in the backyard under the guidance of the servants.

The open window has a faint fragrance of plums, but if you have seen the merlin of the Chengguo Mansion, you will not feel that the merlin of the Yuan family is magnificent.

There are many charcoal braziers in the flower hall, even if the windows are open, they don't feel cold.

In front of the window, there is a long case with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other objects.

A few young ladies who arrived early gathered together and whispered, and on the east side, which was blocked by beaded curtains, sat a few rich and noble sons.

As soon as Mo Xinlan entered the door, she attracted the attention of everyone in the flower hall, in the girl's show, she was excellent in terms of talent, appearance, and figure, and she was the leader of the poetry club, and she was the most sought after one.

"Sister Yuan."

Mo Xinlan took the initiative to introduce Miss Yuan, who came up: "This is my ninth sister, who just returned to Beijing with her mother. ”

"Miss Mo Jiu......"

Miss Yuan's appearance is only delicate, but the bookish aura on her body is very strong, and the frowning grace between her eyebrows adds a bit of brightness to her.

"I didn't expect to see you."

Miss Yuan is very enthusiastic about Ah Jiu, beyond Mo Xinlan's cognition.

Mo Xinlan looked at the many young ladies and sons in the flower hall. How big is looking at Ah Jiu...... This...... Mo Xinlan didn't think she had such a big face.

"I'm glad to meet your sisters, too."

Ah Jiu smiled and blessed the gift, none of the girls present were younger than her.

Miss Yuan crossed Mo Xinlan, directly grabbed Ah Jiu's hand, and said affectionately: "I'll help you introduce the sisters of the Poetry Society, I have heard that Master Mo and Master Jiang are masters of poetry, and Miss Nine has to be taught by two adults, so she is far better than me." ”

"Don't dare to be. I can't compare to my second sister and all my sisters. My dad always said that I didn't have a head to write poetry. ”

"Sister Ah Jiu is witty and interesting, and she is really a lovely one."

Miss Yuan and the others became more and more enthusiastic about Ah Jiu, and they were not as good as they had seen for the first time. On the contrary, they are like good sisters who have been together for many years.

Ah Jiu quietly looked at Mo Xinlan, the second sister is willing to get close to the noble, favored ministers, and the young lady of the poetry club is naturally the same as the second sister. She-Ah Jiu is not talented, but who made her the only granddaughter of her grandfather.

For the sake of my grandfather, who is about to be the first assistant. Ah Jiu will also be the most dazzling existence in the poetry society.

Mo Xinlan was a little lost, and at this time, a sturdy young man walked out from behind the bead curtain, with a Chinese face and thick eyebrows. Big eyes, the bridge of the nose is not straight enough, and the five officials are positive. "Cousin Arashi."

There was a hint of pity in his eyes, "Don't care. I'll see how long she can be proud. ”

"Cousin." Mo Xinlan brought Ah Jiu here just to let Zhou Xiangrui's cousin get along with Ah Jiu, and then have a good impression, "You misunderstood Sister Jiu, she is a very good, very good sister." ”

"Hmph."

Zhou Xiangrui's first impression of Ah Jiu was obviously not very good, how could Ah Jiu dare to match his two cousins? must rely on the power of the Jiang family to bully Cousin Lan.

Ah Jiu is always surrounded by people, and it was better after the poetry meeting began, Ah Jiu met a lot of ladies, and his face was sour with a smile, so he couldn't be quiet for a while, Mo Xiang walked to Ah Jiu's approach, "Second Miss is enjoying the scenery outside in Merlin, please Miss Jiu over." ”

The Yuan family vacated the entire garden and allowed the ladies to come and go freely.

In order to get inspiration for writing poems, several young ladies went to Meilin to enjoy the scenery.

Ah Jiu thought that Mo Xinlan was looking for her, so he followed Mo Xiang to Merlin, and before he went far, Mo Xinlan beckoned to Ah Jiu, "Sister Jiu, come here." ”

"Second sister...... He is ......" Ah Jiu stopped not far from Mo Xinlan, the young man in front of him had a slightly dark face, cheekbones, and a little acne on his forehead, and he looked like the young master of the Fuguo Mansion from his face, and he was also very close to the second sister.

"Cousin Zhou."

Mo Xinlan insisted on dragging Ah Jiu to the front, "The ninth sister just call his cousin with me, my cousin loves us very much, and the ninth sister will have difficulties in the future, even if she talks to him." ”

Ah Jiu curtsied and said, "Cousin Zhou." ”

Sure enough, he is the son of the prince of Fuguo, and he looks quite like his father.

"Miss, Miss Yuan called you."

Mo Xiang took this opportunity to call Mo Xinlan away, leaving Ah Jiu and Zhou Xiangrui alone to look at each other.

Zhou Xiangrui's eyes were full of impatience, looking at Ah Jiu as if he was looking at the enemy who bullied his cousin, Ah Jiu turned around and left, too lazy to pay attention to Cousin Zhou, who was both the second sister, and everyone else could see that Cousin Zhou's love for the second sister.

"Hey, you stop."

Zhou Xiangrui stretched out his hand to pull Ah Jiu, "I have something to say to you." ”

"Let go."

When Ah Jiu raised his head again, his sharp eyes startled Zhou Xiangrui, this girl is too fickle, she is really treacherous.

Zhou Xiangrui can also rank No. 1 in the Xungui circle, although he is frightened, Ke will not be intimidated by Ah Jiu, "Cousin Lan asked me to take care of you, you can't go." ”

"I don't need you to take care of me!"

Ah Jiu twisted his arm, Zhou Xiangrui's hand was like iron pliers and grabbed her tightly, Ah Jiu smiled coldly, suddenly raised his foot and kicked Zhou Xiangrui's calf fiercely, "I don't believe you don't understand what the second sister means." ”

Ah Jiu held back her anger, even if she didn't want anyone, she wouldn't marry a man who had a second sister in her heart.

Naturally, she was ruthless.

Zhou Xiangrui didn't expect Ah Jiu to be so wild, he was careless for a while, his calf bone happened to be kicked, and he jumped around holding the leg that was kicked, "You...... You ......"

"How am I?" Before Ah Jiu could finish speaking, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Nine Sisters...... You're ......."

Mo Xinlan suddenly stood in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "The ninth sister is playing with Cousin Zhou, the ninth sister is very lively, and Cousin Zhou also loves to play." ”

One of the ladies who was not under Mo Xinlan, dressed in gorgeous clothes like a proud phoenix, squinted at Ah Jiu, "I've heard of her, and Sister Qing also mentioned her, and Master Mo, who dares to let my mother eat closed-door soup, should have a little temper." ”

Ah Jiu replied lightly: "It turns out that you are the beloved daughter of Mrs. Han?" How dare I compare with Mrs. Korea with such a little temperament, even the queen mother will not let my mother kneel to greet her, Mrs. Korea did it. ”

"Miss Han!"

Mo Xinlan had a sad face, she really shouldn't have let Ah Jiu come over.
