The main courtyard of the Mo Mansion and Jiuhe House are as comfortable and warm as ever, and the non-luxurious furnishings set off the taste of the hostess very well.

It is not the first time that Mo Xinqing has stepped into Jiuhe Residence, although the old lady is still competing with the Jiang family, but she never falls behind every day to her mother-in-law Jiang's morning and dusk, like the most well-behaved concubine, she does not dare to cross the thunder pool.

Even if Aunt Zhou was upset about Mo Xinqing, and the old lady forced her to stay by her side, Mo Xinqing could always find a way to get out to greet Jiang.

When facing Ah Jiu, she was also very polite, and after showing friendship with Ah Jiu several times but not getting a response, she didn't entangle anymore and kept an appropriate distance from Sister Jiu.

It is said that Jiang's and Mo Xinqing are concubines, which is really a blessed person. It's just that Mo Xinqing knows that her perfect expression has not dispelled Jiang's doubts, and she can't trust the ninth sister with clear eyes as if she is watching a good show.

After returning to Beijing with the old lady, Mo Xinqing has been carefully observing and adapting to the changes in her relatives.

She was very in awe of the Jiang family, who had pressed her biological mother Aunt Zhou in the capital for more than ten years, and was also surprised by the changes of her second sister Mo Xinlan and third brother Mo Junyong.

The person who surprised her the most was Mo Yunyi, her sister who was born in the same year as her, many people said that she was a genius, with an excellent mind, and she would become a great weapon in the future, but Mo Xinqing faintly felt that Ah Jiu Mo Yunyi was a real genius, and Xu was even better than her.

Mo Xinqing entered the door and saw that Jiang was wearing a half-new loose gown, combing a slightly loose falling ponytail, and looking at Ah Jiu who was writing something on the kang table with soft eyes, and from time to time Jiang would point out where Ah Jiu had miscalculated.

Ah Jiu naughtily tapped his skull with a pen, and smiled coquettishly at Jiang's, "It's still smart." ”

This sentence. will always be exchanged for Jiang's softer and more pampered smile.

Mo Xinqing thought to herself that she should really let her second sister take a look.

"Mother."

Mo Xinqing bent her knees with a smile and behaved, her voice was tactful and pleasant, and she didn't see any anger that she couldn't follow Mo Xinlan back to the Fuguo Mansion, "What do you have to say about changing your daughter?" ”

When she got closer, she saw that Ah Jiu was not practicing calligraphy, but taking inventory.

The Jiang family handed over such important matters to Ah Jiu, in addition to trusting Ah Jiu. I also want to exercise my own daughter.

Inventory. How to take care of housework and other things, Jiang will teach Mo Yunyi little by little and carefully.

And she, Mo Xinqing, didn't want to get Jiang's guidance. Xu is the second sister, and she may not be able to pass on the experience of the Jiang family for many years.

Jiang has been out with Mo Guanjie for more than ten years, and every year he will send silver to the imperial capital. He is very honest as an official, if he only relies on his monthly salary. I'm afraid that he won't even be able to support himself.

Mo Guanjie lived a very nourishing life, and he didn't worry about the lack of silver, and he wanted to come to his mother-in-law Jiang's credit.

Jiang's smile was bright, but it was different from the unsuspecting smile of Ah Jiu. Although he was laughing, the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Sister Qing'er, can you blame me for leaving you?" ”

"What did Mother say? How dare your daughter blame you? Besides, the second sister invited her daughter to go to the Fuguo Mansion together. The daughter had already met her grandfather a few days ago, and it was more in line with her daughter's desire to stay with her mother and fulfill her filial piety. ”

Mo Xinqing is sincere. He bowed his head and said: "My daughter always remembers her identity, and she remembers that it is Miss Mo, no matter how honorable my grandfather is, my surname is Mo." The father is still in prison, the daughter can't save her father, and the daughter is deeply honored to be by your mother's side and be sent by you, and the daughter can be regarded as a daughter who has made a modest contribution to the Mo family. ”

Ah Jiu raised his eyes quietly, no matter from his expression or movements, he couldn't see any flaws in Mo Xinqing, and he couldn't hear Mo Xinqing's reluctant hypocrisy, if it weren't for Ah Jiu who couldn't always rest assured of Mo Xinqing, the eighth sister was probably the most perfect sister.

If the ledger of the flowers and trees three years ago came from her, Ah Jiu would not help but admire her, and if it was also her means of extinguishing the mouth, Ah Jiu would despise her.

Three years ago, Ah Jiu was still coquettish on Mo Guanjie's knees, not the fainting after the assassination in Beijing, and had a strange dream that he couldn't remember, Ah Jiu didn't dare to compete with Mo Xinqing at all.

"Sister Lan'er goes to the Fuguo Mansion, which is also filial piety, and it is the same as you staying."

Jiang leaned over and took the brush from the stunned Ah Jiu, and blamed: "Don't spend the account book." ”

Completely ignorant!

Mo Xinqing lowered her head and stood aside, her grandmother was not confused, no matter how much careful thinking she had, she couldn't get into Jiang's eyes.

She never expected Jiang to ...... Mo Xinlan will be so 'maintained', from the ordinary Jiang family's unfamiliarity with Mo Xinlan, it is completely invisible.

Jiang Shi looked at the account book that Ah Jiu had finished calculating for a while, and a bit of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he poked her forehead, "Ghost girl." ”

"Hey, hey." Ah Jiu's white and tender little hand tugged at Jiang's sleeve and shook it gently, until Jiang nodded, and a bright smile reappeared on her little face, "My surname is Mo and I am willing to do my best for the Mo family, I can't let the two sisters be beautiful in front of me, and I can only behave in front of you and my father, and entertain my relatives with colorful clothes." ”

Mo Xinqing didn't seem to understand Ah Jiu's allusions, with a decent smile on her lips, and occasionally looked at Ah Jiu with a little pity for her sister.

"I heard Aunt Zhou say, Sister Qing knows Sanskrit?"

Jiang picked up the teacup and covered the tea leaves with the teacup, "Now that I know Sanskrit, I can't find a few people who can write Sanskrit in the capital." ”

"By chance, a wandering monk learned Sanskrit for a few days, but he only knew a little about it, and he couldn't say that he was proficient."

"A little bit of fur is very powerful."

Jiang raised his eyes with a smile, "Sister Qing doesn't have to be afraid that I will embarrass you, and you don't have to worry about me asking where you learned Sanskrit, you have this opportunity, I am happy with the master, Ah Jiu and Sister Lan also have their own opportunities, these requests are not allowed, although Ah Jiu is my own child, I never thought that all the blessings in the world would go to her, you and Sister Lan are outstanding, and I also have a bright face." Maybe one day in the future, Ah Jiu will have to turn to you for help. ”

"The ninth sister is blessed and talented, far from being comparable to me, Sanskrit is just a small way."

"That's it." Jiang took a sip of tea, "After getting along for a long time, you will know what kind of temperament I am, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and I will see the hearts of the people for a long time, and I will talk more now." Sister Qing also saw that she trusted me completely. ”

"My daughter doesn't dare."

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang raised his hand to prevent Mo Xinqing from kneeling, and patted Mo Xinqing's arm, "I have something to trouble you, recently the Mo family seems to have committed Tai Sui, and everything is not going well, so I want to copy a Sanskrit scripture and enshrine it in the Jialan Temple, while praying for the old lady." While praying for the Buddha to bless the old man and turn evil into good fortune. ”

"Originally, I wanted Ah Jiu to copy it. But this magic star is lively and active. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang and Mo Xinqing looked at Ah Jiu together, only to see her winking playfully. "Tadpole-like Sanskrit...... It knows me, I don't know it. Even if I follow the cat's picture and the tiger, the words do not reach the meaning, and I copy the scriptures wrong. The Buddha will definitely lower his responsibilities. ”

"Look, I'll talk about her. She just has a bunch of excuses and reasons, isn't she lazy? ”

Jiang shook his head helplessly, looked at Mo Xinqing and said, "I'm bothering you about this matter, I can trust Sister Qing." ”

"My daughter will do her best."

Mo Xinqing could only agree. A volume of Sanskrit scriptures that are still enshrined in the Garan Temple cannot be copied in a month, Jiang ...... This is to trap her in the house.

Maybe it's not the Jiang family, Mo Xinqing will never believe that the Jiang family will be kind to Mo Xinlan. Her gaze swept over Ah Jiu, and there was only one person who could make Jiang change his mind.

"Mother. I want to copy Sanskrit with the eighth sister. Ah Jiu asked.

"Sister Qing'er, what about it?" Jiang asked Mo Xinqing, "Ah Jiu is too active, if I can be quiet because of copying Buddhist scriptures, I will be Amitabha." ”

"My daughter is naturally willing."

Mo Xinqing happily agreed, Jiang Shi spoke, did she dare to disagree?

Until now, Mo Xinqing has no certainty of winning and tearing the skin with the Jiang family, and she has to pretend to be the most low-key concubine.

"Ruyi, you serve them to the East Wing."

"Yes."

After Jiang Shi gave the order, seeing the two sisters go out with Sanskrit scriptures in their hands, the look of wonder disappeared in a flash, no matter what Ah Jiu wanted to do, she would support her only baby daughter behind her back.

*****

Mo Xinqing carefully copied the Sanskrit scriptures, but Ah Jiu was fascinated by the Sanskrit scriptures, one wrote and the other read, but they were all right.

After a while, Ah Jiu approached Mo Xinqing, pointed to one of the lines of Sanskrit and asked, "Eighth sister, what does this sentence mean?" ”

Mo Xinqing glanced at it, "Buddhism abstains from killing, and saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

"Does this book say what happens to the harm that takes the lives of people, especially innocent people, in order to achieve their ends?"

“……”

Mo Xinqing originally had something in her heart, but when she heard Ah Jiu's words at this time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and quietly looked at Ah Jiu who was hiding her curiosity, she didn't look like she was coquettish by Jiang's side at this time, calm, calm, and put a lot of pressure on Mo Xinqing.

"Why does the ninth sister ask that?"

She wanted to pretend to be stupid to test Ah Jiu first, "Harming innocent people's lives is to pay for their lives, most of the Buddhist scriptures don't say it, but there are sentencing standards in the imperial law." ”

"Isn't it an aggravated sin if you knowingly commit it?"

"Nine Sisters......

Ah Jiu raised his hand to suppress Mo Xinqing, and said coldly: "Those who disregard human life and trample on the law for their own selfish interests must not be tolerated. ”

Mo Xinqing smiled slowly: "What you said is very right, the ninth sister's talent and learning far surpass mine." ”

Do you have proof?! Mo Xinqing's eyes flashed sharply, as if when he returned to the street to shoot arrows, Ah Jiu was unmoved, and replied lightly: "Skynet is magnificent but not leaky." ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, both trying to find some clues in each other's eyes, or to make each other surrender.

Mo Xinqing took the lead in looking away and said softly: "Whether the ninth sister wants to believe it or not, I have always had respect for my mother, and I dare not disobey my mother's words. I advised my aunt to put her mother first and spend her days quietly sincerely. ”

A hint of mockery flashed in Ah Jiu's eyes.

Mo Xinqing suddenly had a free and easy momentum on his body, "The mountains are very high, the empire is very large, and the eyes of me and the ninth sister should not be limited to the back house." After reading books for many years and meeting many people, I have no intention of fighting with each other, and the ninth sister is a sister born from the same root, why do you have to live or die? ”

"I am friends with my ninth sister, why do you have to force me hard?"

Mo Xinqing said: "This is not good for the ninth sister. ”

"You're saying it beautifully." Ah Jiu nodded matter-of-factly, "It's very beautiful, but it's a pity...... When your Lingyunzhi foundation is wrong, what you say is just a mirror, and it seems beautiful. It's just a hidden evil. ”

Mo Xinqing lowered her head and chuckled, "Ninth sister, do you have to embarrass me?" Can't you live a quiet life? ”

"It's not that I don't want to have harmony in my family, my sisters get along well, I don't think I'm a narrow-minded person, whether it's the eighth sister or the second sister, if you can make a name for yourself. I rejoice in you. Be proud to be your sister. ”

Ah Jiu's clear eyes looked directly at Mo Xinqing, "Eighth sister, dare to say that?" ”

Mo Xinqing didn't respond to Ah Jiu, and re-put pen to paper: "I'm not as good as the ninth sister." I had to finish copying the scriptures that my mother had arranged for me. If the ninth sister finds it boring, let's leave first. Copying the scriptures requires Akagi for the Buddha to be able to achieve his wishes. ”

"I don't know what the Eighth Sister relies on, and I don't know who is teaching the Eighth Sister behind the scenes. I advise you, people's hearts are unpredictable. Don't hurt others or yourself. ”

Ah Jiu turned around and left the east wing.

Mo Xinqing looked up and stared at the direction she left for a long time, silent for a long time, and suddenly a light smile hung on her lips, and the edge of her eyes was even better.

*****

"What's wrong?"

Jiang hugged Ah Jiu funny. Grasp her slightly cool little hand, "Sister Qing is angry?" Do you need your mother to help you take revenge? ”

"It's not."

Ah Jiu shook his head and bit his lip. If she took out the evidence given by Uncle Lu, wouldn't it be the same as Mo Xinqing. Unscrupulous means to achieve the goal!

Most of the evidence was forged by Uncle Lu, that is, it was in her favor, and she was unhappy in the end.

Jiang said: "Still refuse to tell me? ”

"Mother...... I ......"

"Ah Jiu wants to be upright and fair." Jiang sighed: "This is true, but the most in the world is injustice, have you ever thought about this?" Your father and your grandfather obviously didn't make a mistake, but they were imprisoned by His Majesty for various reasons, don't you understand? ”

Ah Jiu was stunned for a long time, and slowly withdrew from Jiang's arms, "I think I understand." ”

Jiang touched Ah Jiu's forehead, "The people from the Jinyi Guard came to deliver the news, and you can go to the Imperial Prison tomorrow to pick up your father back." ”

"Hmm."

Ah Jiu nodded in surprise, "I'll pick it up." ”

"No, let your third brother go, you will stay at home honestly for me."

"Mother?!"

Ah Jiu looked devastated, and Jiang said: "Your father would prefer to see your third brother go, he is the heir of the Mo family after all." ”

"I think my mother has changed." Ah Jiu was not jealous of Mo Junyong's father's attention.

"Isn't this what Ah Jiu is hoping for?"

"Don't you feel reluctant?"

"Since I have to be entangled with him for the rest of my life, I will enter the ancestral grave of the Mo family in the future, and receive the incense of future generations, I hope that the Mo family will be good."

Ah Jiu grabbed Jiang's waist, "Mother, I will protect you." ”

Jiang smiled but did not speak.

"No matter what, I'll protect you." Ah Jiu's persistent repetition, that evidence can be made a little more like......

******

After Mo Xinlan came back, she heard the good news that Mo Guanjie was about to be released from prison, she was happy, Jiang was not her biological mother, but Mo Guanjie was her biological father, and he had always loved her, Mo Xinlan thought of something, and went directly to find Mo Junyong, and she must let the third brother pick up her father.

Ah Jiu has been under Mo Guanjie for more than ten years, and now it is time for their brother and sister to fulfill their filial piety.

does not seek to completely occupy Mo Guanjie's father's love, but only to leave no regrets.

When she arrived at the outer study, after seeing Mo Junyong, she said directly: "Third brother, you must go to pick up your father, even if your mother is not allowed, you must also go." ”

Mo Junyong sat behind the desk, raised her eyes from the scroll in her hand, looked a little embarrassed, and pointed to the bookshelf next to her, Mo Xinlan rushed over in a hurry, trying to persuade Mo Junyong, but she didn't see anyone behind the bookshelf.

When she found out, her pretty face immediately blushed slightly, "What's the matter with the ninth sister...... How in the study? ”

Ah Jiu raised the scroll in his hand, as if he hadn't heard Mo Xinlan's words, "Come and find two books, the books in the outer study are really complete." ”

Mo Xinlan's face was like fire, and she opened her mouth to explain: "I am really happy to hear that my father is about to be released from prison...... I ......"

"I have the same mind as my second sister."

Ah Jiu looked at Mo Junyong, "Third brother, I'll return you after I finish reading these books." ”

"Hmm."

Mo Junyong pressed his forehead, "If you want to read in the future, you can come directly to the outer study." ”

Mo Xinlan's eyes widened in surprise, is this still the third brother who thinks that a woman can't read the profound holy way? Although he did not dare to think that a woman was virtuous if she was not talented. can always insist that women teach their husbands and children in the back house, it is not impossible to read, but women do not have to take the imperial examination, and it is a waste of effort to read the Four Books and Five Classics and other scriptures.

What Ah Jiu Fangcai held in his hand was the annotation of Shangshu.

Every book in the outer study is regarded as a treasure, not to mention borrowing, and no one can touch it.

Why did you make an exception to Ah Jiu repeatedly?

"Second sister, I'll go back first."

After Ah Jiu said hello. Leave the outer study. How did Mo Junyong say to Mo Xinlan. She didn't pay attention to it anymore, and knocked her forehead with the scroll, it was not unusual for the second sister to be wary. After returning to the room, Ah Jiu freed the Shang book note to the side and picked up the stack of 'evidence' again, Jin Yiwei was an expert in forging evidence. Naturally, there will be no obvious loopholes.

But Ah Jiu is still not very relieved, and Mo Xinqing is not good at stubble. The head of the Jiang family can still exchange news with the outside, and usually serve the old lady wholeheartedly, it is hard to believe that Mo Xinqing is just a little girl who has not yet reached the end of time.

She carefully checked the vouchers of the sale, and there were still traces to follow.

"Miss Nine. The rock sugar bird's nest that the lady had delivered. ”

When Ah Jiu looked up, the sun was setting in the west, and the house was full of yellow sunset glow.

Lingyun said: "It's just a few pieces of paper." You've been watching for two hours. ”

Of course, on the table beside Ah Jiu, a thick stack of rice paper was full of words. Fang Cai Lingshan was almost impatient with the ink.

Ah Jiuxian stretched his arms, and then took the bird's nest, "I'm hungry, or my mother hurts me." ”

"You don't want to know what the second young lady said to the third young master?"

Ling Shan's eyes overflowed with disapproval, even if the evidence was forged, could Miss Eight still see it?

"It's already very rusty, easy to misunderstand, although it's a close blood but a stranger who has just met, she really can't trust me for a while. However, I believe that sooner or later she will understand, my mother and I have never had the intention of harming her and the third brother. ”

"Miss Nine doesn't feel wronged?"

"What's wronged?"

"Sandwiched between the lord and the lady, a good heart was misunderstood by the second miss, the second miss went to the Fuguo Mansion today, I don't know what to say."

Seeing the indignant Ling Shan, Ah Jiu shook his head and said, "You have a more impulsive temper than me." I obeyed my father's explanation, just because the second sister and the third brother are not necessarily opposed to me, I hope that my mother will take the initiative, but also to eliminate the estrangement between her and her father, and hope that my mother can live a better life. I do my best to be worthy of my heart. If the second sister is still the same, and the father is still indifferent after his mother takes the initiative to get close, then ...... Naturally, I won't go all the way to the dark. ”

It's not like Mo Xinlan is the enemy, and it is still possible to treat her as a stranger.

"It's good that you have a sense of proportion." Ling Shan said: "I'm really afraid that you are always soft-hearted and retreat again and again to others." ”

Ah Jiu smiled: "After watching my mother's actions, I understand that the combination of rigidity and softness is the king's way. Sometimes, I am too stubborn, I believe in myself too much, and I can't see through it. ”

*****

In the edict, Mo Guanjie used the strategy offered by Ah Jiu to have a deep and sincere conversation with Ouyang Jue, the most important witness in the Han Wang's rebellion case, and did not need to reprimand, only said how His Majesty took a fancy to him...... Mo Guanjie did not look like he was a benefactor of Ouyang Jue, starting from Zhongjun, he mentioned the emperor's trust in him several times.

In the end, Ouyang Jue burst into tears, regretting that he had betrayed His Majesty's trust.

"The emperor doesn't want to know about the rebellion of the Han king, you have read the books of the sages, you should be clear in one sentence, the blessing of the people is prosperous, and the decline of the people is disturbed. It is better to be a peace dog than a troubled world. His Majesty has unified the country, and there are still remnants of the remnants who intend to restore the situation of the four kingdoms, so think about it yourself, why you are studying, and why you are an official. ”

After Mo Guanjie finished speaking, he left Ouyang Jue's cell.

"Brother Mo, what do you mean by this?"

Lu Tianyang, who was waiting outside, was almost frightened by Mo Guanjie, who was bowing to him, and stepped forward to hold his arm, "It's a little brother." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

After Mo Guanjie looked at other people's cells, he knew that it was not just a rumor that Beizhen Fusi was the palace of the king of Hades, thinking that he would live a life in prison for two months, he was grateful to Lu Xiandi from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Xian not only saved my family's life when he returned to Beijing, but also thanks to Brother Xian's care these days, the foolish brother is unforgettable!" ”

Lu Tianyang said a few words modestly, Brother Mo is much more affectionate and righteous than the little niece who only talks about gratitude.

"Brother Mo has completed His Majesty's trust, and his ascension is just around the corner."

Lu Tianyang said: "I remind Brother Mo, if you are promoted, you will only be trusted by Your Majesty, and no one will intercede for you." ”

"This ......"

Mo Guanjie was curious about who Lu Tianyang was referring to?

After Ouyang Jue wrote the melody, he committed suicide, and Emperor Shenwu ordered someone to bury him, and ordered the release of the meritorious man - Mo Guanjie.

After receiving the holy decree, Mo Guanjie packed up the books sent by Lu Xiandi these days, walked out of the edict, and before he could get used to the light outside, he heard bursts of crying:

"Son, you finally came out, if you are good, my mother will not live."

"Mother?!"

The corners of Mo Guanjie's mouth twitched slightly, this surprise was really a bit big.

P.S. Ask for a pink ticket. (To be continued) R655
