In the late spring, the light rain gradually stopped, the sky cleared, the heavy mist between the heaven and the earth was dispersed, the climate warmed up, most of the people in the imperial capital wore bright thin clothes, and the famous ladies and nobles purchased the latest styles of dresses and jewelry.

Originally, Ah Jiu paid attention to Mo Xinlan, who left from the study that day, but later Mo Xinlan took the initiative to admit her mistake to Mo Guanjie and took the initiative to communicate with Mo Guanjie.

Ah Jiu saw that Mo Xinlan was less extreme, smiled more, acted steadily, and got along more and more harmoniously with Ah Jiu.

In addition, Jiang's belly is getting bigger day by day, and the reaction during pregnancy is very heavy, which distracts most of Ah Jiu's energy.

After Mo Xinqing moved back from the Yanguo Mansion, she rarely went out again, and stayed in the room all day to do embroidery work, Ah Jiu heard that she embroidered Buddhist scriptures and screens, as if there was nothing worth Mo Xinqing's concern about except for the female infrared.

Even her biological mother, who lives in Zhuangzi, has not visited her for a while.

Ah Jiu's wariness of Mo Xinqing is far more than Mo Xinlan, when her mother Jiang is pregnant and has a child, she looks at Mo Xinqing more closely, for fear that Jiang will be hacked when she is the weakest.

"Miss Nine, Master Hou, please go to the front hall."

"Got guests?"

Ah Jiu was inserting the pink peach blossoms minus the branches and leaves in the enamel white jade vase, only to vaguely hear his father leading the guests back, the sunset outside was just right, it seemed that his father had the heart to invite the guests to dinner, I wonder if the kitchen had bought some good ingredients today.

Ling Shan said: "Master Hou has ordered, just prepare according to the usual." ”

“…… Is it Uncle Lu? ”

Ah Jiu turned the vase, admired his flower arrangement skills, and entertained guests with family banquets, which could only be his father's closest friend.

Uncle Lu rarely comes to the Mo Mansion. He and Mo Guanjie got together in most of the most prestigious restaurants in the imperial capital, of course, most of them were Uncle Lu's treats.

After Mo Guanjie became the Hou Ye, he had more money than before, and he sponsored more poor students, plus the old lady lived in the Yan Guo Mansion, how could Mo Guanjie really let Yan Guo Gong support the old lady?

Every month, he sent money and other things to Yan Guogong for the old lady's expenses.

Ah Jiu knows the importance of filial piety, although he hates the old lady's partiality. Mistreat your father. But it didn't stop Mo Guanjie's filial piety, but every time she sent silver and clothes, she did it with great fanfare, trying to let the people of the imperial capital know.

So in case something happens in the future. Others don't want to accuse Mo Guanjie of being unfilial. "Lord Lu seems to have drunk with Master Hou, and after sending Lord Hou back, Lord Hou will keep Lord Lu."

"Uncle Lu has been having a bad time lately?"

Ah Jiu got up and brushed off the wrinkles of his clothes, "Send the porcelain vase to my mother." “

Ling Shan spoke for Lu Tianyang. "His Royal Highness King Qi hasn't mentioned the matter of the prince of the world recently, and Lord Lu has been the commander of the Jinyi Guard since he stepped down. has been idle at home, the emperor invited a doctor to the king of Qi, and rewarded the beauty, so that the world knew that His Royal Highness the king of Qi could not give birth...... Son comes. Lord Lu must be worried about this. “

King Qi gave birth to a nephew who did not have a son and refused to succeed the clan, and Emperor Shenwu refused to agree to the king of Qi to be the son of the world, and the two of them were deadlocked. The most embarrassing thing is Uncle Lu.

I heard that Emperor Shenwu was extremely reluctant to see Uncle Lu, a 'meritorious man'. "Actually, the emperor thinks too much, if Uncle Lu has the heart to be the prince of Qi. has long followed the surname of His Royal Highness King Qi. “

How can an orphan named after being born and raised still have feelings for his family?

Walking to the living room, Ah Jiu heard Mo Guanjie speak with a big tongue before he entered the door, "Brother Lu Xian...... Forehead. ”

Mo Guanjie burped, his face was full of alcohol, and his eyes were drunk, "They don't look down on you, and if they take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, they have no vision and don't know the benefits of Brother Lu Xian, you don't have to worry about the divorce, I'll help you find a good ...... Good. ”

Ah Jiu froze, looking at Uncle Lu with his father's arm on his shoulder, even if he didn't wear the python robe of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Uncle Lu was still extravagant, perhaps his past exploits spread, Uncle Lu had a little more of the heroism of a Confucian general and a warrior, and less ruthlessness when he was a Jinyi Guard.

But when did Uncle Lu get married and quit his marriage?

It is said that Uncle Lu is more sought-after than in the past, after all, he is the only righteous son of His Royal Highness King Qi, even if he is idle now, he will not be reduced to the point of being retired.

Lu Tianyang heard the footsteps, and he didn't need to look up to know that Ah Jiu had arrived, the sound of her walking was different from others, and he could always spot her quickly.

"I don't blame others for my embarrassing identity."

The corner of Lu Tianyang's eyes has been looking at Ah Jiu, who was not surprised a lot, he was originally confident in his marriage plan, he had no certainty of victory, shouldn't he, he calculated very clearly step by step, Mo Guanjie is easy to be soft-hearted, and he knows how to repay his kindness, so he is completely unwary of him...... If he is too strong, Mo Guanjie would not have nodded if he died, and he could only win with weakness......

Ah Jiu married him who was 'divorced', did he wronged Ah Jiu?

What was the pain in his heart?

As long as the result is good, giving Ah Jiu a beautiful wedding is enough to make up for it.

At this time, he must not hesitate any longer, even if Ah Jiu has grievances, he has to carry out the plan, otherwise he will not be able to avoid the obstruction of the eldest princess.

He has already decided to give up his hatred, Ah Jiu must marry him!

Lu Tianyang took a sip of wine, "No official, no lord, no relatives, just like duckweed, there are the eldest princess and others in the court, I am afraid it is difficult to be promoted to the knighthood in this life, even if there is a righteous father, His Royal Highness King Qi, it is difficult to change my situation, and I can't marry the woman I like if I have little property." ”

"Brother Lu Xian is too pessimistic, it's not difficult for you to marry a wife, there are many families who are willing to marry you."

Mo Guanjie showed a distressed look, thanks to Lu Tianyang wearing a mask, or he really couldn't face the sincere Brother Mo anymore, but in terms of scheming and acting, Lu Tianyang is definitely a rare character, no words, just a look, the action of holding a wine glass expresses the loss very clearly.

"Lord Zhang has a young daughter, I can help Brother Lu Xian protect the media, Lord Wang has a sister, and it is also suitable for Brother Lu Xian."

Ah Jiu only learned today that his father had always paid attention to the young lady of the official eunuch's family, and he had selected two ladies, whose age, identity, and appearance were very suitable for Uncle Lu. Although these two ladies delayed leaving the cabinet because of filial piety and other reasons. But he is not even over twenty years old, he is well-read and decent, even if he is not as famous as the top celebrities, he is still somewhat famous in the imperial capital.

Lu Tianyang looked up at Ah Jiu, who was secretly criticizing Mo Guanjie, she seemed to be attracted by Uncle Lu's black eyes, and her brain was a little wooden. Uncle Lu's eyes are so good-looking. "I ...... Unwilling to compromise. “

Lu Tianyang hooked the corners of his mouth. I am still very proud of Ah Jiu, who is obsessed with looking at him, Ah Jiu may not be ruthless to himself, and only he can make Ah Jiu, who has always been shrewd and keen, lose his temper.

This sentence is suspected of confession. Ah Jiu suddenly noticed that Uncle Lu's gaze at him was a little abnormal.

Lu Tianyang has already put his hand on the mask, the first person to see his appearance should be Ah Jiu, will she be amazing?

"Actually......"

Mo Guanjie, who was drunk on the table, suddenly raised his head, shook his head and said, "Brother Lu was delayed by His Royal Highness King Qi. How can anyone directly take you to propose marriage indiscriminately? Who does His Royal Highness King Qi think he is? The people handed over more than ten years ago have long since changed. ”

“……”

Mo Guanjie is definitely a master of mending knives, when Lu Tianyang is preparing for a showdown. Mo Guanjie topped a basin of cold water.

Ah Jiu saw the stitches and asked, "Dad is talking about Uncle Lu's divorce?" That family is an old friend of His Royal Highness King Qi? ”

It's never a good thing to get out of a marriage.

"His Royal Highness King Qi has made a lot of trouble since he returned to Beijing."

Mo Guanjie pointed to the position beside him, and Ah Jiu sat down obediently, avoiding Uncle Lu's slightly disappointed gaze. "What did His Royal Highness King Qi do? Still not dealing with His Majesty? ”

"Why?"

Mo Guanjie sighed: "I think the most daring person in this world is the King of Qi, Ah Jiu should ask the King of Qi when he will not fight with His Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi...... It's getting more and more powerful. Two days ago, His Majesty was so angry that he left the court, and today he finally persuaded His Majesty to go to court. Before he could wait for anything, King Qi quarreled with the prince again. The scolding battle of chickens, flying dogs and jumping made the Golden Palace smoky, and His Majesty was run away by King Qi again, and even your grandfather did not fall well. ”

King Qi is full of firepower, no matter if you are the emperor's crown prince or the first assistant minister, he can say what he wants, and no one cares.

The prince who was originally blocking the king of Qi and was wary understood at this time that even if the king of Qi had a black flag army, he was not qualified to inherit the throne at all with his ability to cause trouble with others.

King Qi's hatred value is stable, but he is still living very comfortably, and he refuses to wronged himself at all.

"I know that His Royal Highness King Qi loves you, but Brother Lu will take you to someone else's house to propose marriage in the future, you must not agree."

“……”

Lu Tianyang can't tell Mo Guanjie that he did it intentionally, his father-in-law's temperament, he knows better than anyone else, if his father-in-law doesn't make enemies after returning to Beijing, firstly, the father-in-law will be very depressed, and secondly, it is not a good thing to align the king's lineage, after all, the two states of Youyun are enough to make anyone covetous.

Ah Jiu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qi hasn't gone too far. "Huh?"

Mo Guanjie and Lu Tianyang looked at Ah Jiu at the same time.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is quite like His Majesty when he was young." Ah Jiu's smile was even brighter, "Uncle Lu doesn't have to worry about not marrying a wife, if he agrees in front of a few families, and soon regrets not giving face to King Qi and Uncle Lu, His Royal Highness the King of Qi dares to go directly to rob people, and if His Royal Highness the Majesty blames him, His Royal Highness the King of Qi will say that the son inherits his father's business." ”

Back then, the king of the mountain, Emperor Shenwu, robbed fewer people?

"If the Father-in-law robs you ......"

"How is that possible!"

Ah Jiu blinked mischievously, "You are my Uncle Lu, my elder, my father treats you as his own brother, Uncle Lu is a joke, it's not funny at all." ”

Mo Guanjie laughed at the right time, "No, Ah Jiu is not right, it's funny." “

After drinking a glass of stuffy wine, Lu Tianyang's arrangement today completely came to naught, and it didn't have any effect.

*******

"How?"

Mo Xinlan walked around the room anxiously until Mo Xiang appeared, and hurriedly asked, "Are you ready?" ”

"Second Miss don't worry, no matter how closely Miss Ren Jiu watches it, the slave maid will let the things you want be transported into the backyard, and everything will be according to your orders." "Is there anyone in the study?"

"Master Hou and Lord Lu drank in the living room, only let Miss Nine accompany them, the third young master visited friends and did not return, Mrs. raised the baby in the room, and Miss Eight rarely went to the study. Except for the two cleaning houses, the study is heavy and the idlers are not allowed to approach. ”

"You have to make sure that no one is good."

Mo Xinlan was a little relieved, if it wasn't for Mo Guanjie hiding the 'incriminating evidence' in the study, she wouldn't have found it, and she wouldn't have made such a decision.

"I just want my father not to be implicated, not to hurt anyone."

Mo Xinlan said this to herself. She said this to the Buddha, as if what she was going to do was a good deed, a great thing to save the Mo family from danger.

"The books that Hou Ye has accumulated over the years are only afraid that they are...... There are also some antique ......"

"Only by making an accident can you win the trust of others, and in the future, Xu Weipan will not blame his father." Mo Xinlan is not distressed about the loss, "Compared to my father's life title, books and other things are just things outside the body. Later, when I had the opportunity, I would help my father build a bigger study. The shelves are littered with my father's lone favorite ancient books. ”

She also had her dead mother's dowry in her hand, although she had lost a sum of money because of the coal hoarding, the silver in her hand. The field yield is still very impressive.

With her memory, it is not difficult to make a fortune and make money.

"I'm willing to give my father gold and silver."

"Second Miss is the most filial daughter of Master Hou, Miss Nine is just a nice talk, she is not comparable to you, you can't guess what Jiang Shoufu often sends to Miss Nine?"

Mo Xiang's face was full of mockery. "It's not pen and ink or paper inkstone, and how many days has the Jiang family risen? There is no comparison with the auxiliary Guogong. If Jiang Shoufu dared to accept bribes, someone would have stabbed the emperor a long time ago, and the Jiang family was just looking at the scenery. ”

Mo Xinlan has endured enough of the hardships of poverty, and she attaches great importance to money. Even though she knew that Mo Xiang was not quite right, she was still counting on Mo Xiang, and it was not good to reprimand Mo Xiang at this time. Money can make ghosts grind, and nothing can be done without money.

In memory, Jiang Shoufu has always been very incorruptible. The Jiang family is not rich and noble.

Most of the empire's fast-paced maritime trade and other businesses were concentrated in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and the Jiang family couldn't get involved at all.

"No matter how hard you go to the study to watch, don't let anyone into the study."

"Yes, Second Miss."

"I have arranged for Mo Yi and Mo Shi to invite the housekeeper mother on duty in the study to drink and touch the cards. If anyone dies because of this, she can only be blamed for her bad life. ”

Mo Xinlan's eyes were deep with a burst of coldness, for the safety of his father, are he afraid of killing?

She no longer asks her father to understand her hard work, secretly solve a danger, and keep the Mo family safe, even if she suffers retribution in the future, she will not complain, and she will not be grateful to her father and brother...... It doesn't hurt either.

*******

The night was deep, the night breeze was slow, the Hou Mansion was silent, suddenly the door opened, two black shadows flashed from the house, and the placket brought a gust of wind, and soon the black shadow disappeared into the night, and there was no movement.

The open door closed silently, the candle flame was lit, and the candlelight reflected a beautiful face - Mo Xinqing leaned against the door, her red lips seemed to have been kissed, glowing with ruddy pearls.

"Miss Eight."

Cui'er walked out of the inner room, and Mo Xinqing, the leader, asked with affection, "He went?" ”

Mo Xinqing nodded slightly, touched her slightly swollen lips, that person still has her in his heart, but unfortunately even if he has advanced kung fu, he also instructed the leader of the killer to die, fate is manipulated in the hands of others, and the days of licking blood with a knife are not suitable for her.

"Senior brother is much funnier and more handsome than the prince of Yanguo."

Mo Xinqing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "It's also thanks to him that he came to the imperial capital to do business, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to find him." ”

"If you send him a message, he'll be there."

"If it weren't for the reduction of my manpower in the imperial capital, the master would not be very satisfied with me, and I would not be ...... Don't owe a favor to others. ”

It's not because he is already handsome and has a deep affection for himself, so Mo Xinqing won't let him touch a single hair of his hair.

"You go and look at Mo Xiang, I guess the second sister will let her take care of the study."

"The slave really can't imagine that the second lady dares to do such a thing."

The corners of Mo Xinqing's lips raised slightly, and a scorching light flashed in her eyes, "Without the ninth sister, the mother will never die with her, and the father will be sad, and he should not execute another daughter for the sake of the deceased ninth sister, after all, the second sister is supported by the auxiliary prince behind her, and he doesn't want to see the second sister." At that time, I will be the only lady in the Hou Mansion. ”

"Madame may think of you as Miss Nine."

"It's not impossible to recognize her as a mother, as long as it can bring me benefits, my mother-in-law is a mother."

Mo Xinqing values Jiang Shoufu behind the Jiang family more, if she can win over Jiang Shoufu, all the previous losses will be made up, she is still one of the best masters, and then she can be left and right, and she doesn't have to serve her teacher to the death.

In her opinion, the possibility of success is not high, and she has never paid a single heart for the great cause of restoring the country.

Obey orders, just because the master can give her more manpower to facilitate her actions.

As long as she can become the wife of the prince of Yan Guo and the granddaughter-in-law of the eldest princess, she may be valued and favored by the eldest princess, and she may be able to save the eldest princess at a crisis and inherit the purple shirt.

"You're going to get what you want."

"I have to eat one bite at a time, and it's not my turn to think too much right now."

Mo Xinqing urged Cui'er, "Go quickly, don't delay the business." ”

Cui'er nodded and left.

"Ninth sister, I'm sorry, who let you get in my way."

Mo Xinqing smiled and said to herself, "I promise to be filial to your mother and father,"

******

Ah Jiu personally carried the alcohol through the Moon Gate, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I have to go and get the good wine, and the alcohol that has been pressed for several years is finally cheaper than Uncle Lu." ”

"Miss Nine......

"Am I wrong? This is made by my own hands, and only I know the recipe for making wine, which is an ancient recipe. Usually my father can't drink, but my father ...... to Uncle Lu."

Bang, Ah Jiu felt that it was dark in front of him, the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground, and a black shadow flashed, supporting Ah Jiu who had fainted.

Ling Shan made a decisive move to snatch Ah Jiu back, but the other person entangled Ling Shan, that person's kung fu was better than Ling Shan, plus they sprinkled the drug in advance, Ling Shan's brain was dizzy, and he was knocked unconscious before he had time to shout. (To be continued) R580
