He didn't mention the words of the longevity lock again, turned around and walked out, his back was still straight, and he faintly pulled out a touch of gloom and sadness.

The silver-white lock plate is very common, the texture is average, and the long-life lock prepared by the ordinary small family for the son is not much different, wearing it for many years, most of the silver lock plate is black and oxidized, the lock plate in the hand is slightly hot, and Ah Jiu's fingers gently scratch the word fine dust.

Ah Jiu raised his head, among the many talents in Jiangnan, he still seemed to stand out, not to mention that someone could steal his limelight, even if there were few people who were slightly closer to him.

He even has a name called Motes?!

Humble to the dust?

Could it be that he is the son who is not expected by his parents?

Ah Jiu put the lock plate properly, "There is a wrong name, and there is no wrong nickname - King Lu Yan went out, and everyone dispersed." ”

It was impossible for her to stay alone in the house for too long, and after arranging the end of the banquet, Ah Jiu returned to the ladies.

The ladies who came to the door today no matter whether there were any contradictions between their father and brother or their family and Mo Guanjie, they were all close to Ah Jiu, and it was impossible for the scandal to provoke the daughter of the Mo family.

There is nothing wrong with Ah Jiu himself, he grew up in Jiangnan, although he has been to the imperial capital for nearly three years, most of his childhood friends are still there, and there is a lot of harmony among the ladies, and many people will talk about the past with Ah Jiu and talk about the interesting things in the past.

"Miss Nine."

"I'll be with you first, you have to wait for me to taste the wine together, and no one is allowed to drink it first."

Ah Jiu smiled at the friends around her, put down the wine glass, and walked towards the place where Ling Shan stood, just after drinking two more glasses, her face was peachy, and her eyes were slightly smoky, "What's wrong?" ”

"Second Miss ...... at the door again"

"Who?"

The slight drunkenness in Ah Jiu's eyes faded completely, and he opened his mouth in surprise, and looked at Ling Shan incredulously, "Isn't she in the imperial capital?" “

"It is said that His Royal Highness King Huai went south to buy a dowry, and I just arrived in Hangzhou today, just in time for the lord to set up a banquet, and the second lady wants to come in to meet the lord and Mrs."

Ling Shan saw Ah Jiu's displeasure, and also felt that the second lady's face was really thick, the master had given up on her, and she could still come to the door like the daughter of the Mo family, it was ...... Ling Shan is a person who has seen the world, but she has never seen Mo Xinlan like this, "Why don't you talk to the master?" ”

Ah Jiu shook his head, at this time, Mo Guanjie was working with his colleagues in Jiangnan to make trouble with Mo Guanjie, and it didn't do him any good at all, "I can't avoid her when I go to Jiangnan, it's really enough!" Ling Shan, you invite her to the study, and by the way, send a message to the third brother, saying that I can't get out of here. ”

There was a trace of embarrassment on Ling Shan's face, and Ah Jiu frowned, "What? ”

"It's okay, Miss Nine, the slave maid is going to see the third young master."

Ling Shan shook her head again and again, turned around and left very quickly.

Ah Jiu stared at Ling Shan's back thoughtfully, I don't know if it's an illusion, Ling Shan has been hiding from the third brother recently?! I can't wait to walk around the third brother.

Mo Junyong pushed several good family affairs under the pretext of focusing on his studies, although there were reasons for Mo Guanjie, but Ah Jiu always felt that the third brother was only afraid of someone in his heart.

Ah Jiu does not want to make waves again in the marriage of the third brother.

With Mo Xinlan's temperament, if she is not allowed to come in, she will definitely make a disturbance, and then they will not look good on each other's faces, Mo Junyong also understands this, and after seeing Ling Shan, she nodded and said, "You let the ninth sister rest assured, I will watch her." ”

Ling Shan was far away from him, and he lowered his head and didn't say a word about it.

“…… Ling Shan. ”

"The slave and maid are gone."

Ling Shan turned around and left, Mo Junyong's eyes dimmed a little for a moment, and the hand on the cuff slowly clenched, not that he didn't know the huge gap between each other's identities, but he couldn't forget what happened back then...... Na Lingshan is only a concubine, but it is even more difficult to marry her.

"Third Young Master."

"You say, why did I get such a sister-in-law?"

Mo Junyong shook his head and said dejectedly, "Let's go." ”

******

"To the study? I wanted to see my father first. ”

Mo Xinlan looked at the layout of the governor's mansion like a master, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was a feudal official, and the official residences of the successive governors were very magnificent and luxurious.

Behind Mo Guanjie stood his father-in-law Jiang Shoufu, and Lu Tianyang helped him, and the officials of the eldest princess also got the news of the imperial capital, and the prince of An Guo personally sent letters everywhere to express his attitude to support Mo Guanjie's governance in Jiangnan.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even the governor has to let Mo Guanjie go.

Mo Xinlan is very sensitive to the study, you can see the bustle of the distance and the back garden, the flowers, when she was waiting at the door, she saw the carriages lined up on both sides, it is conceivable that at this time, the mansion must have gathered almost all the officials and women in Jiangnan with heads and faces, as well as famous ladies.

With such a big scene, how can you be without yourself?

It's a shame to miss such a great opportunity.

She can rely on this banquet to make more useful eunuchs, order women, and make good connections to move to King Zhao and help His Royal Highness the Prince.

Mo Xinlan was very unwilling, "Can the ninth sister be busy alone?" I also want to help my father when I come to Jiangnan, so it's better to ......"

Ling Shan bent her knees and said, "Master Hou asked you to wait in the study, and the slave didn't dare to disobey Master Hou's order." ”

Father has been eccentric to the extreme, Mo Xinlan bit her lip, and couldn't help blurting out the words, now is not the time to turn his face with his father, his plan in Jiangnan is indispensable for his father's support, and when the plan is successful, his father will become the backbone of the princeling, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future...... Then the father will know which daughter is most filial to him.

Mo Xinlan remembered that Jiang Shoufu was still as stable as Mount Tai after the prince ascended the throne, it can be seen that Jiang Shoufu has taken refuge in His Royal Highness the prince in private, Jiang Shoufu loves Ah Jiu so much, why is it different from her? But Ah Jiu just hid it from his father, wasn't he afraid that his father would contribute to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before Jiang Shoufu?

"Third brother."

Mo Junyong appeared in the study, Mo Xinlan got up and said, "Why are you?" What about the father? ”

"Second sister, why did you come to Jiangnan?"

"There are a few business to negotiate."

Mo Xinlan's face revealed a trace of displeasure, "Didn't the ninth sister tell my father that I arrived?" ”

Mo Junyong looked at her for a long time and sighed silently. Mo Xinlan muttered resentfully, "She provoked it." ”

"Do you know that if Ajiu tells your father the news of your arrival, you can't even enter the gate of the governor's mansion."

"How so?"

"What have you done and you're repeating it to me? Ah Jiu is her daughter in the end, leaving you with a little face, and never thought of killing them all, father...... He won't kill them all, but his father won't be as delicate as Ah Jiu, and it is impossible for the person he gave up to take another look. ”

"I'm his daughter, my own daughter! Isn't he angry enough? Aren't his eyes better? I also gave him a lot of books, and I also brought a lot of books this time, can you blame me for the things in Zhuangzi? It's all my aunt's doing, I blocked the disaster for him, and I hurt my face for many days, my father used to be angry with me, I can understand, and now I'm still angry with me, is he my own father? ”

Mo Xinlan saw Mo Junyong raise his legs and walk out, and chased after him, "Third brother." ”

"If you're not ashamed, keep making trouble."

Mo Junyong left without looking back, "Father will not care about anything about you anymore, and he will not see you again, no matter how you toss, my father will not ask again, if you still want to be surnamed Mo, you should remember that your father has raised you for all these years, it is best to go back to Beijing immediately." ”

Once Mo Xinlan continues to mess around, Mo Guanjie may really take Mo Xinlan's surname, and he won't even leave the last love.

Mo Xinlan stood in place, her eyes were red, she bit her lip stubbornly, tears were dripping, she wiped her eyes stubbornly, she walked directly out of the mansion, since her father and brother were determined to come here, what was the point of staying by herself?

She is also a self-respecting person, and she will not stick it on her face.

Rushing out of the mansion in one breath, Mo Xinlan ran forward a few more steps, and finally couldn't help but turn back, the palatial mansion of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was still lively and rich, but she herself was like an abandoned girl, no one cared about her, and her father and brother who should have cherished her all ignored her, just because she didn't have her own mother to maintain it...... Just because her stepmother is Shousuke's daughter.

Her stepsister is the most valued lady of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Mo Xinlan's dejected appearance made King Huai very distressed, "Lan'er." ”

"Your Highness, I have no home, Ah Jiu took away my brother and my father." Mo Xinlan leaned on King Huai's arms and cried bitterly, "I used to ...... I didn't want to fight with her, I thought that my father and third brother would cherish me, I was wrong, I was very wrong, I knew it was so...... I wasn't as good as ...... It's better not to let her. ”

In the past, she fought with her stepmother, and the Mo family was defeated, so she wanted to be filial to her stepmother this time and love Ah Jiu, who knew that the Mo family was rich, but she was excluded by the Mo family, and her biological father thought that she had never given birth to her.

"Don't cry, you still have this king."

"Your Highness......"

Mo Xinlan raised her eyes and said seriously: "I have suffered, I have been wronged, I don't want to fall on the prince again, I work together with His Highness to love them, okay?" ”

Can King Huai say badly? "Lan'er, if they don't be filial to you and disrespect you in the future, I can't spare them!"

"Heart to heart, I really don't want the children to lose their father's love, Your Highness, I'd rather I suffer some grievances than be like Jiang...... She ...... to me."

Mo Xinlan cried more and more sadly, and the clothes on King Huai's chest were wet with tears.

King Huai finally coaxed Mo Xinlan to sleep, his distressed gaze could not be mistaken, and stroked her forehead, Mo Guanjie? Jiang's? Ah Jiu?

His dark eyes gradually turned deep......

"Your Highness."

"Lan'er is wronged by this insult for this king, and this king can't even protect Lan'er?"

"You must not be impulsive, the emperor expressly forbids it, and the clan in Beijing colludes with local officials, once you are impeached by the imperial history, you will be banned from the throne."

King Huai also has a few loyal servants over the years, "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are no better than other places, and any disturbance will soon spread to the imperial capital." ”

"This king knows your good intentions." King Huai's face was pale, "This king has his own measure. ”

Once Huaiwang indulged in mountains and rivers, he has been to Jiangnan several times, although he is the son of the prince's step-son, most of the Jiangnan officials give him a little thin noodles, he came to Beijing this time...... also hopes to break one of King Zhao's arms, and then be embarrassed by the prince, he has not even had a rich and idle life.

******

After sending off the guests, Ah Jiu first went to remove the makeup on his face, prepared to take a comfortable bath to get rid of fatigue, invaded his body into the water, only exposed his head, and blew the petals floating on the water, "She's gone?" ”

"Yes, the third young master stayed in the study for a short time and left, and then the second young lady left crying."

Ah Jiu revealed that this was indeed the case, Mo Xinlan Xu might not be able to understand where she lost in this life, so she deliberately let Mo Junyong go, first, Ah Jiu didn't want to see Mo Xinlan, and secondly, let Mo Junyong clearly understand that Ah Jiu gave Mo Xinlan a chance, but Mo Xinlan didn't make any progress at all.

Seeing Mo Xinlan's stupidity with his own eyes, Ah Jiu didn't believe that Mo Junyong would pay attention to her anymore.

"You're not happy?" Ling Shan saw the end from the beginning, and admired Miss Nine so much, she didn't have to do anything, in the eyes of the third young master and the Hou Ye, Miss Nine was kind, soft-hearted, and had all the face.

The more the second miss speaks ill of the ninth miss in front of the third young master, the more it will be counterproductive.

Ah Jiu closed his eyes and said lightly, "It's not worth it." ”

Ling Shan didn't understand whether Mo Xinlan was not worth Miss Jiu's brains, or was it ...... Or should family affection not be calculated?

Quietly looking at Miss Nine, who was calm as usual, Ling Shan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, Xu didn't even understand Miss Nine herself, Miss Nine was fine, but she was too vigilant, and the young master tried her best to break part of Miss Nine's defenses, and wanted to completely get Miss Nine's heart...... The young master, who has always been invincible, doesn't know how long he has to work hard.

Ling Shan hoped that Miss Nine would leave the pavilion as soon as possible, and she would not have to meet the third young master again.

"My father is a poor student, and the Mo family has a deep foundation, and it is far less than the rules of a famous family." Ah Jiu turned his back to Ling Shan, "Insist enough, my father may not obstruct it in every way, he doesn't like to marry with his son the most." ”

“…… Miss Nine...... I"

"Ling Shan, I'm not much different from you. No, I should say that you have a lot more experience than I do. ”

Ah Jiu stuck to the petals on the water, "I respect your choice, any choice." ”

She will not promote this marriage that is too different, after all, marriage is a matter of two people, like people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing.

"The slave will always serve Miss Nine."

Ling Shan felt that she was still alive by Ah Jiu's side, and she was enjoying a peaceful and happy life, she didn't have to inquire about the news, she didn't have to be a female spy, she had long lost her qualification to be a wife, and she couldn't think about being the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion.

*******

After the flower party, Mo Guanjie can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the officialdom of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Mo Guanjie's ability, bearing, and connections are enough to deter people who are not convinced.

What is surprising is that Mo Guanjie did not start with salt administration, tax burden, criminal law and other affairs, the first fire after his arrival was on the reform of the county school, and the reform of the school system could not enhance his prestige, but Mo Guanjie did a good job.

At the same time, there are a lot of people concentrated in a small building, and Lu Tianyang's sudden arrival in Jiangnan will inevitably redivide the interests, and they don't want Lu Tianyang to take more benefits. R1152
