Wisps of smoke rose from nowhere in the courtyard, and there was a sense of mystery.

Mo Guanjie didn't believe in gods, Buddhas and immortals, the old lady did, roaring as if she was stunned, and the eldest lady was crying and shouting on the side drum, the scene was extremely chaotic and noisy.

Ah Jiu walked around the main room and walked to the side room, she didn't believe that there would be smoke for no reason.

However, she finally found the place where the smoke was coming from, and at this time it was already empty, leaving no traces, Ah Jiu squatted on the ground, Lingshan held the lantern high, "Miss Jiu, the slave can't find the handle." ”

"Indeed, the evidence is insufficient."

Ah Jiu got up and said, staring in one direction, "If I catch the handle, she won't be afraid." I always understand that at least my grandmother has joined forces with her to force my father to go out. Guess why grandmother did this? ”

“…… Isn't it time to break the old lady's tricks? ”

"I thought it was more important to find the root cause."

Ah Jiu stroked his sleeve and turned around and walked towards the room.

Ling Shan glanced at Fang Cai Ah Jiu to see the direction, who is the 'she' in Miss Jiu's mouth?

"Miss Eight......

Cui'er panted and fled back to the house with the wolf bèi in her hands, "It's thanks to you that you have already explained, or ...... Otherwise, Miss Nine will see the clues. ”

Mo Xinqing handed Cui'er a cup of tea and said firmly: "Even if the ninth sister finds the right place, she can't see anything. "The old lady wants to force the second master to go out, how can you help her?" The second master is released, which also has a bad impact on you. ”

"The ninth sister will not let her grandmother's wish come true, and she will be caught by the ninth sister in two strokes with the power of her grandmother alone, and her mother will not watch her grandmother calculate her father." Mo Xinqing said: "I help my grandmother, first, I rely on my grandmother to let her understand that I am filial." The second is ...... Let the ninth sister have no intention of helping Princess Hezhen. If the mind is not calm, how can it be possible to make a good track? ”

"The slave is convinced."

"I have to help the third uncle."

"Eighth Miss, what if the third master implicates the second master?"

"There is Jiang Shoufu here. My father's career will not be affected in any way, once my father is in trouble again. I can also mobilize my forces to help my father. "You are one who takes one step and sees three steps, and the slave believes in you."

Mo Xinqing smiled modestly and said meaningfully: "The reason why my father doesn't like the Fuguo Mansion is that my grandfather is a nobleman and has a different position from my father's political position, and second, my grandfather always reluctantly forces my father to follow the path he has ...... His father was born in the countryside. The status is not high, he is naturally arrogant, he dislikes nepotism the most, and he has his own ethics and persistence in dealing with people. The more Jiang Shoufu managed, the more disgusted his father became. ”

"But Jiang Shoufu and the second master are both Wenchen."

"There are still differences in nature, and they are in different factions. Even if Jiang Shoufu is cunning and cunning, he is good at scheming and decisive, he will inevitably make mistakes in the affairs of his children. ”

Mo Xinqing said: "I don't ask for anything else, as long as my father and mother dislike it." I can drag the ninth sister, and by the way, I can also use my mother's past to separate them, and they have a chance to stand out if they don't agree with each other. ”

"My father was fond of my mother. If there is no contradiction between them, the aunt has no chance. ”

Even if Mo Xinqing is reluctant to help her aunt, she has to find a way to let her return to the house, Aunt Zhou has already put down her cruel words and can't return to the Mo family, she would rather die, even Mo Xinqing can't persuade her.

"Slave maid, let people inquire about the movements of the third master."

"Wait." Mo Xinqing stopped, paused for a while, and said in a low voice: "You also have to pay attention to the old lady." I must understand why the old lady drove my father out of Beijing...... There must be a reason for that. Do you remember when she became different? ”

"The slave remembers coming back from the mansion of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess......"

"Grandmother must have a secret in her."

Mo Xinqing said: "Be sure to find out. ”

"Yes, Miss Eight."

*******

The old lady pretended to be crazy in the bedroom. spared the entire Mo family unpeaceful. Mo Guanjie stood next to the warm kang, silent, and let the old lady go crazy.

Jiang also lowered his eyelids, as if he was not interested in the excitement in front of him, Ah Jiu helped Jiang Shi, his big eyes were wide, his parents didn't want to see the old lady go crazy, she liked it, it was more exciting than playing monkey.

The eldest lady signaled the eldest lady several times and followed the old lady's words, the eldest lord listened to his mother's words in his life, and later listened to his wife's words, and he didn't have any opinions at all.

"Second Brother ......"

Uncle Mo said embarrassedly, "Mother is also for your good, the situation in the imperial capital is complicated, I am not in the officialdom but I know the fierceness of Jinyiwei, in order to make my mother feel at ease, the second brother might as well seek to release the imperial capital...... There is a mother at home, and my third brother and I are serving my mother, you can rest assured. ”

Jiang Shi stroked his lowered eyelids, Mo Guanjie frowned and said: "Big brother's words are inappropriate, whether it is released or not, it is appointed by His Majesty to stay in the imperial capital, His Majesty will teach me the heavy responsibility of the national eunuch, I am a courtier, I dare not have any carelessness." This year, Guozijian chose to be a prisoner and the imperial capital township test, which is a good opportunity for me to show my strength and loyalty, and it is also a good time for me to display my life's ambitions......"

"Second child, I'm your biological mother, you...... Are you dazzled by career and glory? You are unfilial, unfilial brute!"

The old lady scolded, "Who am I for? It's not that I'm afraid that something will happen to you, why don't you understand that you have only a dead end if you stay in the imperial capital, and only when you leave the imperial capital can you be peaceful and the Mo family be safe. ”

Mo Guanjie lifted up his clothes, knelt in front of the old lady, kowtowed: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have not been both, my mother has three sons and one daughter, even if I die in the imperial capital, my mother also has the eldest brother and three brothers who are filial, you have always loved them the most, and you must have lived better without a son by your side." The son is not a conceited person, there are many people in the world, and there are many talents who are more talented than the son, but the son is willing to serve the empire with the light of fire, be loyal to His Majesty, reform the atmosphere of the literary world, and revitalize the teaching system. “

"I hope the mother understands her son's heart."

Bang bang, Mo Guanjie kowtowed three times, and after getting up, he nodded to Jiang Shi and arched his hand: "Mrs. Lao sent her mother to the eldest brother, and the third brother left." ”

"What did you say?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. was first shocked by Mo Guanjie's determination, Ah Jiu was full of admiration for his father, and he really admired his father's integrity and ambition. Ten years of trees, one hundred years of education. There are too few people who are willing to engage in education in a down-to-earth manner in the face of fame and fortune.

Because teaching and educating people will not be famous, nor will they be profitable.

The title of master and apprentice is of course important, but the chief examiner during the imperial examination is the teacher of the lifters, the master of the house, the person who enlightens or teaches the profession, just a gentleman.

Jiang's lowered eyes lifted, and he looked at Mo Guanjie in a daze, also thoughtful. The cheeks quickly crawled with a red glow, faint.

Mo Guanjie is by no means a person who knows good and bad, blindly filial piety, no one or anything is as important as his beliefs.

In the past, he dared to refuse the Duke of Fuguo, but today, he dares to refuse the old lady's unreasonable trouble.

Not even a chance to leave the old lady at all.

"Second brother, aren't you afraid that others will talk about your unfilial piety?" The eldest lady panicked and said, "You want to kick us out and sleep on the streets?" You're not afraid of someone poking you in the back? ”

The old lady cried, "I'm not leaving. Don't go! You don't want to kick me out. ”

She pointed at Jiang: "Poisonous woman, are you provoking my relationship with the second child behind your back?" It must be that you are not virtuous and can't look down on your wife. Unwilling to serve me. ”

Mo Guanjie dragged Jiang and Ah Jiuyi behind him, straightened his back to protect his wife and daughter, and said loudly: "The feng shui of the Mo house is not good, and my mother always has the most nightmare in the back house, I can't sleep well, I don't eat well, and my energy is not suitable for my mother." The son is good for his mother, so he wants his mother to go to the eldest brother's mansion in the imperial capital to live. Two days later, the son invited a master to exorcise ghosts, and the mansion was peaceful...... Then ask my mother to come back and live. ”

Ah Jiu gave his father a thumbs up behind his back. Isn't it haunted? Isn't it the manifestation of the Buddha?

For the sake of the old lady's body, it's not a good thing to always be haunted by ghosts like this.

Uncle Mo's mansion was also bought by Mo Guan's outstanding silver. But the old lady wrote her brother's name on the title deed property.

Mo Guanjie rarely cares about money, not to mention that he always wants to repay his brother's kindness. agreed with the old lady, not only that, but he rarely asked about the old lady's furniture and the ancestral land of his hometown, even if the old lady left all the qiē to the Mo family's house, he would not rely on his official authority to fight with his brother.

He had already privately told the Jiang family that those financial properties should only repay the old lady's nurturing grace and his brother's kindness to help himself back then.

The Jiang family is not a careless person, and agreed to Mo Guanjie to fight for public property, even if those properties were purchased by Mo Guanjie after the promotion.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!"

The old lady stubbornly sat on the kang, "Even if it's haunted, I won't leave if you worry about the second child until you die." ”

Mo Guanjie frowned, "Mother, my son is for your good." ”

"Kick me out of the house for my own sake?"

The old lady patted her thighs, crying and complaining about grievances, and refused to leave.

Jiang Shi saw that the trouble was not good, and said: "If my mother always dreams that the lord is inappropriate, if you don't move out, it will not be good for your health, the lord has to go to the court every day, and he always has a bad rest, once he makes a big mistake in the court, it is a great event, maybe he will be connected to the nine clans, and when the time comes, ...... At that time, the mother and the Mo family will not be better. ”

"You lied to me! Zhulian Nine Clans? How can it be connected to the nine clans? ”

"Didn't grandmother dream that her father was bleeding?"

Ah Jiu whispered: "The court is unpredictable, in recent years, there have been countless courtiers executed in the imperial capital Caishikou, and a few days ago, the King of Han plotted a rebellion, and there were five or six criminals who killed the three clans. ”

"Since it's dangerous, you still don't let the second child leave the capital?"

The old lady was surprised and frightened, Zhulian Nine Clans? How can it be so strict? It's not the black-hearted Jiang who lied to himself.

"It's even more dangerous to leave the imperial capital to become an official in an unfamiliar place, and if you offend anyone, no one will help your father."

Ah Jiu's words made Mo Guanjie not very comfortable, why scare the old lady?

Because it was Ah Jiu, Mo Guanjie's most painful daughter, he pursed his lips and didn't open his mouth to explain.

"I heard that Jiangnan is unstable, Jinyiwei and everything went to Jiangnan to investigate thoroughly, in case my father goes to Jiangnan to be an official again, he may be implicated."

"Jiangnan can't do it, how about the northwest?"

"The northwest is the place where His Majesty started to prosper, there is still a fierce martial style, my father is a civil minister, and I will be suppressed by the military generals when I go to the northwest, and my father's temper will inevitably clash with the meritorious generals, and His Majesty will generally be meritorious, even if the Wenchen is not wrong, it is also wrong."

Before the old lady mentioned yì, Ah Jiu continued: "The north is close to the capital of the Eastern Liao Kingdom, the remnants of the Eastern Liao still exist, and there are foreign tribes to trouble, it is not suitable for my father, Sichuan and other places have their own drawbacks, and it is not suitable for my father, in fact, my father is the safest in the imperial capital, at least there are several senior brothers taught by my father himself, and my grandfather helps me." ”

"Grandmother, how can being an official not be dangerous? Everyone in the world says that dreams are reversed, maybe my grandmother's dream of something bad is a good thing for my father? Two days later, I asked my mother to call two masters who interpret dreams, and then my grandmother will tell me about the dream in detail, and the masters will definitely be able to see the blessings and misfortunes. ”

The old lady's eyes flickered, "The second child's fate is evil, and his temper is upright, so it's better to ...... It's better to be the second child, you go into hiding, give up the official position to your eldest nephew or your third brother, ask the emperor to read on your merits, and en Meng them into the office, I think they are more suitable for officials than you, and it will save you from committing a catastrophe for the whole family. ”

The big lady's eyes lit up, this can be there!

Mo Guanjie said tiredly, "Sending my mother away tomorrow can't be delayed any longer." ”

Let the old lady's whimsical nonsense continue, Mo Guanjie must be angry to death.

The old lady let out a shocking roar, "I...... I'll go to the yamen to sue you for unfilial piety! ”

"Grandmother is angry, let's not talk about your words, can you win the trust of the presiding judge, even if your father loses his official position because of your complaint, do you think there is still hope for the Mo family in the future? Can uncles and brothers still be in the imperial capital? is your most painful grandson, don't expect to enter the career in this life. ”

Ah Jiu's eyes were deep, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the old lady's heart, and the old lady dodged and moved her body, "He is very good at learning, why can't he be an official?" ”

"Without my father's maintenance, no matter how good my talent is, I may not be able to go to high school, not to mention that Brother Lobby's talent is really impeccable? Grandmother, father and uncle, and the third uncle are all a family, and it is right to help each other and prosper the family. Father is loyal to the country, uncle is filial to you instead of father, and your majesty may be looking at this point will be graceful and brother in the hall. If you will not lose your face until your father dies...... Are you too ruthless? ”

The old lady shrank her body again, "Don't you let me say it if you're not filial?" ”

"Why didn't you say that your father was unfilial? How do you provide evidence to convince the presiding judge of your words? ”

Ah Jiu said lightly: "The family land deed, my father doesn't care, my mother doesn't care, where you got it has evidence to follow, it's not that you write the name of the eldest uncle on the land deed, these things are the eldest uncle's." Father filial piety to your silver every year, every one is in the account book, there is no shortage of you to eat and drink, there is no shortage of your silver, father not only supports you, but also loves brothers, cares about nephews, every morning and dusk, from a lot, why do you say that your father is not filial? ”

"Grandmother, the heavens make it rain, and the people do woe."

Ah Jiu's eyes were sharp, and he approached the old lady and asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want to hide?" Can you talk to your granddaughter? (To be continued)
