Chapter 8 Fortune

Mo Mansion is located in the inner city of the imperial capital, Mao'er Hutong at the northeast corner of Chang'an Street, most of the surrounding neighbors are imperial historians, and the scale of the mansion is not large, but it is a three-entry courtyard.

At the beginning, Mo Guanjie worked hard for his furniture and borrowed a lot of money to buy the mansion.

The Jinyi guard escorted the carriage to Mao'er Hutong quickly, where the geographical location is not very good, but it is better to be clean.

It is said that the subordinates of the official mansion went out and saw the brocade guard on the horse, and they were so frightened that their feet were weak, especially when they saw clearly that the leader was wearing a silver eagle mask, and immediately ran back to the mansion like a king of Hades asking for his life, and closed the door of the mansion.

Ah Jiu couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, King Lu Yan's prestige was flourishing, and he didn't know how many courtiers he had locked.

It is not an exaggeration to say that eighty percent of the officials are honored and honored by him.

After the carriage stopped, Ah Jiu Hu Jiang scared the carriage, the surrounding qiē was very strange to her, the vermilion gate in front of her, the mansion with the golden characters on the plaque, if nothing else, it was her home in the capital.

Ah Jiu held Jiang with one hand and clenched into a fist with the other, not only Jiang was worried...... She herself was not worried about getting along with her sisters.

What's more, his father Mo Guanjie has to go to Beizhen Fusi to be tried, although it seems that there is no major incident, but who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? Will my father be reinstated soon?

"Mrs. Lao takes care of the mansion, I ......" Mo Guanjie bowed to Jiang and promised: "Strive to come back from Beizhen Fusi as much as possible." ”

Jiang Shi avoided it, without any worry on his face, and said calmly: "The master marries a concubine and comes back, how dare the concubine not do his best, you can rest assured that there is a concubine in everything in the family." ”

After more than ten years of knotting, Mo Guanjie trusted Jiang very much, turned his head and touched his daughter's little face: "Ah Jiu remembers to get along well with her sisters, Lan'er grew up in Beijing, is steady, and takes care of her sisters, if you don't understand something, ask her, Qing'er is the same year as you, lively and cute, empathetic, want to come with her, Ah Jiu will not be lonely." As for your brother Junyong...... He studied in Guozijian, had good learning, and had a promising career. ”

Ah Jiu nodded and said, "I wrote it down." ”

King Lu Yan tilted his head slightly, and Brother Liu Tiecheng pouted bluntly, although they are brothers and sisters of the same father, blood and blood, but after all, they are not the same mother, and they have not grown up together, how can they be intimate.

Mo Guanjie was really lucky in the first half of his life, otherwise he would not have been a man and would have been Mo Guanjie.

His ancestral home is Shandong, and he is a fellow villager of Confucius, but his ancestors have been farming for three generations, and his family is in a difficult situation.

In order for Mo Guanjie to study, his eldest brother took on the burden of the family.

Although Mo Guanjie was born in a peasant family, he did not suffer from farming, and he was dedicated to learning and worshipping a famous Confucian in Shandong as his teacher.

When he was weak, he showed off his talent in high school and raised people.

Poor Xiucai, Jin Juren, won the lift, the Mo family got out of poverty, Mo Guanjie respected his eldest brother as a father and entrusted his money and family affairs to his eldest brother, and the Mo family gradually became noble in the countryside.

At the age of eighteen, Mo Guanjie entered Beijing to participate in the three-year examination of Shenwu, and won the first place in the second class of high school.

When looking at the imperial list at the Arc de Triomphe, he was valued by the family of the Duke of Fuguo and snatched back to the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo.

At that time, Mo Guanjie was not only young and handsome, but also dignified in appearance and appearance, among the high school movers, whether it was age advantage or appearance, he was absolutely top-notch.

It is even more rare that he did not marry, and the beloved daughter of Fuguo took a fancy to him at a glance.

He was confused because he caught his son-in-law and became the son-in-law of the Duke of Fuguo, and married the Zhou family, who had a lot of dowry, as his wife.

This marriage once caused a sensation in the capital.

After all, it is difficult to have a talent like Mo Guanjie under the list, and Emperor Shenwu even joked with the Duke of Fuguo in his spare time, if Mo Guanjie entered the palace to thank him, he would directly let this handsome heir to the lord.

After marriage, Mo Guanjie and Zhou's Qinse and Ming, although they had different living habits, the two were humble to each other, and they never blushed.

Zhou is the most beloved concubine of Fuguo Gong, and he can't bear to let her go out with Mo Guanjie, but after Mo Guanjie lost the pavilion election, he was unwilling to use his father-in-law's power to be a Beijing official, and he was bent on letting go to show his ambitions.

Later, because Fu Guogong and Zhou's brothers warned Mo Guanjie several times, his thoughts of going out were more urgent.

The old opponent of Fuguo Gong had the intention to make Fuguo Gong ugly, and put Mo Guanjie in Shaanxi County to be a county magistrate.

As his wife, Zhou naturally went out of Beijing with him, but Zhou's health was not very good, and the environment in Shaanxi was harsh, so she was not very adaptable and often went back to Beijing to live.

Although Mo Guanjie was dissatisfied, he cherished his wife's frailty, so he agreed to allow the husband and wife to live separately and get together occasionally.

In the sixth year of Shenwu, Zhou's eldest son Mo Junyong was born, and two years later, Zhou's daughter Mo Xinlan died.

Mo Guanjie kept filial piety for his wife Zhou for a whole year before he set a stepwife candidate - Jiang.

The most talked-about miracle moment came, Liu Tiegong lowered his voice and continued to gossip with his brother Liu Tiecheng and others:

Jiang Ningyuan, the new father-in-law who has failed many times, sent his beloved daughter to Beijing to prepare for marriage, just in time for Enke, who is once every three years, and in order to let his daughter gain a firm foothold in her in-law's family, he resolutely decided to take the exam again. As a result, he ...... He turned out to be a high school champion and was very trusted by His Majesty, and in ten years, he went from Hanlin to the second assistant, and Jiang Cifu created a legend of officialdom promotion, and he was only one step away from the first assistant under one person. Master Mo also has an additional second-assistant father-in-law, and there are many people who remarry after losing their wives, and according to common sense, most of the stepwives' families are lower than those of their wives, and Lord Mo is enviable...... The first marriage is higher than the first marriage, and no one criticizes him for clinging to wealth, who would have expected that Jiang Juren, who had fallen five times, would be the top student in high school at the age of thirty-five? ”

"Now that the founding lords are not used, Jiang Cifu is the one who dares to reject His Majesty's will, except for the founding king of the year, and Jiang Cifu can persuade His Majesty today."

Liu Tiecheng smacked his lips and said: "I heard that at that time, the Duke of Fuguo wanted to let the concubine be the successor of Lord Mo, and later Lord Mo accepted Xiao Zhou as a concubine and married Mrs. Jiang, and his luck was so good that he was angry. ”

The more this group of brocade guards spoke, the louder they became, Mo Guanjiejun's face was slightly red, he married two wives, which time was enough to cause a sensation in the capital, and added enough talking points for the people of the capital.

God knows that he made a marriage contract with Jiang Juren's daughter back then, but he didn't want to be trapped in the domineering of the founding nobles anymore, and he didn't want to be at the mercy of the auxiliary prince to promote him, but the result was that the world envied his fortune.

"Uncle Lu." Ah Jiu asked innocently, "Are you sure that your subordinates are not disguised by the women of the neighborhood?" ”

“……”

Brother Liu Tiecheng and others almost got off the horse.

Ah Jiufu bowed, "Everyone, keep in mind the trivial matters of my Mo family, if you forget to do business, wouldn't it be the fault of the Mo family?" I also listened to what you said, and I don't dare to disagree, it is not my father's fortune, it should be my grandfather's accumulation, His Majesty's wisdom and wisdom, and my grandfather's grandfather is today. ”

"Miss Mo is right."

Under the gaze of Lord Lu, Jinyiwei dismounted neatly and bowed to Mo Ajiu, "It's our nonsense, the emperor promoted Jiang Cifu...... It is a wise and martial move. ”

Originally, Miss Mo had a life-saving grace for Commander Lu, how could they, the irons of Commander Lu, dare to hold up in front of Ah Jiu?

Commander Lu was ruthless, but he only looked at Mo Ajiu differently, and they didn't dare to offend Ajiu lightly.

The gossip is just ...... It's just because they got carried away for a while after returning to Beijing, and they have always been arrogant in the capital, and no one dares to talk about it.

Even if it is Jiang Cifu, as long as they have a crooked mouth, it is enough for Jiang Cifu to explain in front of the emperor for a long time.

Jiang Cifu's status is higher than that of Lu Commander, who protects Ah Jiu for some reason, but King Lu Yan holds the power of supervising hundreds of officials and nobles, and the power to cut first and then play is not to be despised by people.

Ah Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and handed over the exquisite purse, "Please also ask your adults to take care of my father." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Liu Tiecheng didn't dare to take it even if he was killed.

King Lu Yan waved the whip on the horse, and the purse was rolled up by the whip and fell into his hand, the purse is the style of Jiangnan, and the embroidery is very exquisite, "You embroidered it?" ”

"Let Uncle Lu laugh."

It is said that the purse is used to send silver tickets in the capital, and the purse is not a sachet and does not have a peach-colored effect.

King Lu Yan took out the broken silver from his purse, but it was only ten taels...... Liu Tiecheng hung his head, and only Miss Mo took ten taels of silver to send us away.

After squeezing the silver, Lu Tianyang smiled and said, "Niece Mo is refreshing enough, I guarantee that Brother Mo will be treated preferentially in the Imperial Prison." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lu." Ah Jiu not only has a sweet smile, but also a sweet voice.

King Lu Yan stared at her for a long time, then turned around and said, "Go back to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen." ”

After they left, the smile on Ah Jiu's face immediately disappeared, "Mother, let's go home." ”

They followed the Jinyi Guard into Beijing, and there was no entourage around them, most of the house slaves serving in Jiangnan were dismissed and sold, and a few loyal people who refused to leave, the Jiang family first arranged for them to wait for news in Jiangnan.

Therefore, Ah Jiu could only step forward and knock on the door in person.

The figure of the mother and daughter in the wind and snow is slightly lonely and depressed.

Ah Jiu's face was not cowardly or depressed, and he was calm as usual.

When-when-when.

Seeing that no one answered the door for a long time, Jiang's face was a little ugly, she had sent Aunt Zhou the news of her arrival in Beijing, but no one expected that they would be chased and killed by assassins on the way, and because of the illness of Commander Lu, it was delayed for a few days, and the Mo family was not prepared and could not blame Aunt Xiao Zhou, who was in charge of the family in the capital.

"Who?"

With a creak, a gap opened in the side door next to the main entrance, and a middle-aged man in a brand-new cotton coat came up, glanced at the person knocking on the door first, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”

"Dare to ask Aunt Zhou if she can be in the house?"

Jiang Shi stopped Ah Jiu and stepped forward to ask, "Call her, you will naturally know who I am." ”

The middle-aged man didn't know Jiang and Ah Jiu, and he could see that they didn't look like liars, so he said, "Aunt Zhou went to the Fuguo Mansion with the second lady, you are ......"

"I'm Mo Xinyi, Miss Mo Jiajiu."

Ah Jiu came up from behind the Jiang family, he was so despised that he couldn't even enter the house, "Mother, I think the people in my grandfather's mansion will know us, why don't you go to my grandfather's mansion?"
