Chapter 36: Eccentricity (Double Seeking Pink)

In the warm spring-like room, Jiang took off his robe and leaned on the warm kang, Ah Jiu walked to Jiang's side with a hand stove with incense tablets like a treasure, and said flatteringly: "Mother, is it fragrant?" I make my own spices. ”

Jiang Shi lazily responded, Lai Yangyang was unwilling to take care of Ah Jiu, who had always been pampered in his heart, and took out an ancient scroll from the kang table and looked at it slowly.

It's over, my mother is angry, I blame myself for only remembering my father's words, forgetting my mother, Ah Jiu's big clear eyes blinked, drooped down her shoulders, pitiful like an abandoned cat, if she was like a cat's ears would also droop down, throw off the embroidered shoes, hold the fragrant hand stove in her arms, climb to Jiang's side, and drill into her arms without a word, "Smell Ah Jiu incense is not fragrant, mother ......"

The tail note has a unique coquettishness, soft and sweet.

It's not that Jiang doesn't want to push her away, but the villain who is warm and fragrant is the most annoying.

"Mother."

“…… Ay. ”

Jiang Shi held her with one hand, and brushed her delicate eyebrows with the other, Ah Jiu was squinted comfortably, Jiang asked helplessly and pityingly: "Ah Jiu, is it not good to only follow my mother?" ”

"It's not bad, it's just that Ah Jiu also wants his father."

Ah Jiu drilled into Jiang's arms again, and said sullenly: "You can't push him away because of the eighth sister and Aunt Zhou, as well as grandmother, my mother is troublesome, in fact, my father is also very pitiful." If it weren't for my choking, my mother would have killed all sides in Yuqingtang now. ”

Jiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Kill all directions? I feel like I'm pretty good. ”

"You are already very powerful, and you are also very ......" Ah Jiu paused for a moment, quietly raised his eyelids, and looked at Jiang, looking cautiously like a cat that was afraid of annoying his master.

"Say." Jiang's fingertips tapped the tip of her upturned nose. "The best thing about you is that you are honest, transparent, and dare to say anything."

Ah Jiu knelt where Jiang's body was bent and raised his little face, "Mother doesn't care about my father!" ”

"Ah Jiu."

"Listen to me first, I know that my mother is not the biological mother who wants to be with my second sister. Daddy previously passed away compared to his wife. Ah Jiu's small hand blocked Jiang's mouth. said seriously: "You blame your father for Aunt Zhou, and you gave birth to the eighth sister with Aunt Zhou, even if you have been with your father for more than ten years." You're to blame him, too. ”

Jiang's eyes were vague and uncertain, and he pulled Ah Jiu's hand down, "I'm not qualified to be your father's wife?" ”

"It's not." Ah Jiu shook his head hurriedly.

"Then Ah Jiu wants my mother to hold the vinegar jar all day long and restrain your father's hands and feet?"

"Not really." Ah Jiu shook his head again.

Jiang Shi smiled casually: "Neither." How do you want me? ”

"Be positive, fight for a little. Take Daddy to heart. ”

Ah Jiu stared at Jiang, "If I say, there are probably not many people in this world who can match my mother, and you have already married him." It's time to face a qiē problem positively, daddy...... It's not that it's not worth entrusting your mother for life. The reason why I remember my father's words is that I am bent on keeping my mother. It is true that I am eccentric, but the object of my eccentricity. It's not Dad, it's you. ”

Jiang's eyes were slightly hot, and he touched his daughter's silky cheeks, "You don't understand yet, but you don't have to learn from me in the future." ”

Ah Jiu hopes to live a good life or say that Ah Jiu's mind is a good person, Jiang has about a number, I used to decide to choose among my mother's nephews, I am afraid that there are too many variables, although my nephew does not dare to treat Ah Jiu badly, but the nephew is not worthy of Ah Jiu.

This girl is much smarter than when she was in Jiangnan, and her ambitions are much higher, and she can even see through her thoughts, and Jiang is a little caught off guard.

"I have fought for it, even if it is unsatisfactory, I don't regret it, mother...... You should give Daddy a chance. ”

"You still say you're biased with me? Open your mouth and keep your mouth shut and don't leave your father. ”

Jiang sighed: "Your little head is pretending to be like this? You don't have to worry about me and your father. ”

"Your grandmother and sister Qing were personally sent back by Mrs. Korea, Mrs. Han ...... It was really majestic, but I didn't say much but let the wife of the criminal officer kneel for a long time, it wasn't Sister Qing who came forward to speak for me, and I didn't necessarily be able to get up until Mrs. Han left. ”

"And this?"

Ah Jiu rolled over, stared at Jiang's knee with wide eyes, and touched his knee with his little hand, "Are you injured?" ”

"Sister Qing is smart and intelligent, and she is a person who respects her mother-in-law, I will say hello to Mrs. Han in front of her eyes, how can she make me too shameless?" Jiang Shi took Ah Jiu in his arms and patted her on the back one by one, "I used to think that Sister Lan'er's temperament was not easy to say, maybe she would treat me as a villain who killed her mother and took advantage of the master, but now I see that although she is more serious, her words and deeds are in order, she is not close to me, she does not hate me, and she is also a little sincere to you, just rush this one, what should be given to her, I will not lose a point to her, I should teach her, I will teach her instead of her mother, naturally she can not listen, believe me, in herself." ”

No matter what, it is impossible for the Jiang family to do their best for Mo Xinlan and Ah Jiu, and they can't wait to give their hearts to Ah Jiu.

"The people and things in the capital, don't surprise me, I have already made preparations. Only Sister Qing ......"

"In the past, Niang Xu thought that Aunt Zhou was planning for the eighth sister."

Although Aunt Zhou is difficult, it is not beyond the normal level, Mo Xinqing ...... Ah Jiu couldn't help but think of her who was decisive and radiant on the street.

"At a young age, she is extraordinary, I heard that she went to her hometown to accompany your grandmother for most of the day, not that there is no one in my eyes, your grandmother can't teach Sister Qing, just now I took a closer look, her words and deeds, every move has an ancient etiquette atmosphere."

"Ancient rites?"

"Hmm." Jiang nodded affirmatively, and muttered to himself, "Who taught her?" ”

Ah Jiu couldn't help but be cautious, the ancient rites were the inheritance of the once first powerful country Beiyan, since the Northern Yan was destroyed by Emperor Shenwu, the cumbersome ancient rites with a long tradition have gradually been lost.

Emperor Shenwu was born recklessly, although he was assisted by Mu Yi, the king of the mountain, but he could not comprehend the essence of the ancient rites for a while, and Emperor Shenwu was also disgusted with the cumbersomeness of the ancient rites.

In recent years, Emperor Shenwu has sat firmly in the world, but he has remembered the benefits of ancient rites, and desperately wants to put gold on the face of the royal family and promote etiquette.

However, it is difficult to find people who are willing to be the famous and ancient rites of Emperor Shenwu all over the world.

It's not that people don't have it, but most of them hold their once noble status. Look down on the Shenwu Emperor, who was born as a bandit of the Mountain King.

What's more, most of them have a hatred for destroying the country with Emperor Shenwu, and it is the general trend to unify the world and end the chaotic times, but not everyone can forget the pain of losing the country.

"If the eighth sister has a mysterious master, it is a very bad thing for the Mo family. I am not jealous or envious of the eighth sister who knows more and has a lot more than me, but I am worried that the person who taught her has something else to ask for. His Majesty suppressed the remnants of various countries for more than 20 years, except for the remnants of Nanling who occupied the island. Northern Swallow. Most of the remnants of the Eastern Liao forces turned into darkness, and they did not give up on subverting the empire. ”

Ah Jiu often accompanies Mo Guanjie to read the Di Bao, and Jiang is not interested in the Di Bao and doesn't see much. Ah Jiu can't forget the bloody clothes religion recorded in the jì Di newspaper. The Plum Blossom League and other secret organizations with the mission of recovering their homeland.

Jiang shook his head and said: "Maybe you think too much, Sister Qing has the opportunity to be guided by a master to look extraordinary, don't talk about her, even your father is not worthy of those people's attention." ”

"Mother is right."

She was afraid that Jiang would think too much. He was more and more concerned about Mo Xinqing in his heart, and Emperor Shenwu had never been soft on the eunuchs who colluded with the remnants of Beiyan and other countries. This thing...... It's too strict, and you can't leak half of the news anyway.

Mo Xinqing came back at a very good time, and in two days it will be the Yaotai Phoenix Banquet in the eldest princess's mansion, even if the invitations have been sent. With Mrs. Han's ability, it is not difficult to get her another post, even if Mo Xinqing doesn't get a post, Ah Jiu and Mo Xinlan can't help but take her with them. But it's just ordinary. Once Mo Xinqing's words and deeds are seen, how should he explain the past?

Ah Jiu rubbed his forehead. This matter is more difficult than coaxing her mother to change her mind, isn't it that she wants to steal Mo Xinqing's limelight everywhere and cover her with the limelight? With more dazzling scenery, others can't pay attention to Mo Xinqing?

Being in the limelight is not in line with Ah Jiu's plan, and she is too hated, with her background at this time, even if she can dominate the crowd, it will cause endless trouble and resentment from the ladies.

Hey, why don't you think that you can't reach the beauty of the crowd, but it's troublesome?

Could it be that she underestimates the celebrities in the capital too much?

Ah Jiu approached Jiang's arms and pressed her hand on his head, "Mother, touch it to see if it's hot?" ”

"What's wrong? Under the weather? Jiang cautiously felt the temperature of his daughter's forehead, and then his forehead was even more offset, "It's not hot." ”

"If it's not hot, it's not a hot head, arrogant."

"I'm thinking nonsense again."

Jiang shook his head helplessly, "The thoughts in your head are getting more and more weird, and even I can't see through them." I remember when you were in Gangnam, you were very well-behaved. ”

The twists and turns on the way back to Beijing made Ah Jiu change a little bit, and even the Jiang family couldn't keep up with Ah Jiu's train of thought.

"Madam, Miss Eight has arrived."

The maid at the door whispered, Miss Eight's style, and the honor favored by Mrs. Han really made people up and down the Mo Mansion envious.

Eighth Miss Mo Xinqing's dress is not as expensive as that of Second Miss, but it is impressive, even if others want to imitate it, they can't learn from Miss Eight, so they can only be reduced to Dongshi's imitation.

There was no movement in the room for a long time, and the maid asked apologetically: "The slave and maid will pass you on the information when they enter the door." ”

"Not necessarily." Mo Xinqing smiled kindly, "Mother Xu is in trouble, I'm not in a hurry." You are the maid in front of your mother, you rashly broke in for me, made you embarrassed, and let my mother blame me for not being polite and couldn't afford to wait for a while. ”

"I didn't see Miss Ordinary Er, I waited too long for her."

"Shut up, let Mother hear your skin carefully."

Mo Xinqing said lightly: "You forget your duty, forget the most basic rules, if you are the maid in front of me, I will not tolerate it." ”

"Miss Eight...... The slave did not dare to say more. The maid's face turned pale with fright, "The slave is just wronged for you...... The others didn't hear it, and begged the eighth lady to spare the slave. ”

"When my mother asks, I'll tell you the truth." Mo Xinqing didn't rub the sand in her eyes, "Is it your fault, my mother has her own conclusion, that is, begging for mercy and favors, and you shouldn't ask for me." ”

Ah Jiu opened the curtain, Mo Xinqing just raised his head at this time, the two looked at each other, and they were a little more cautious with each other, Mo Xinqing smiled first: "Ninth sister?!" ”

Just now, Mo Xinqing hid behind the door of Yu Qingtang and glimpsed Ah Jiu, and saw it more clearly at this time, Mo Xinqing couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, with a sweet and tactful smile on her face as always, Mo Xinyi has a temperament that is not weaker than her, maybe stronger than her.

Mo Xinqing has seen many famous ladies and ladies, but in front of Mo Yuyi, she will be nervous and her heart beats fast.

When people care too much, they are nervous.

"Eighth sister."

Ah Jiu only slightly hooked the corners of his lips. "Mother has been waiting for you."

Originally, Mo Xinqing took the initiative to come to Jiuheju and took the advantage of being the first-hander, but who knew that Ah Jiu was waiting for her with Jiang...... The situation immediately reversed, the Jiang family seemed unfathomable, and Mo Xinqing 'threw himself into the net' and lost the opportunity.

"I should say hello to my mother, I'm late." Mo Xinqing's smile did not change. Get close to the wrist of Gola Ajiu. With a slightly playful wink, "If my mother blames me, I hope that my ninth sister will help me say a few more good words." ”

"How can my mother blame the eighth sister? Many people look at the eighth sister differently. Mother doesn't dare to do anything to you, and I'm not afraid that I will kneel down to meet the wife as a criminal wife? ”

"I didn't think about this matter and didn't resolutely refuse Mrs. Han's kindness."

Mo Xinqing's face was sincere, and her eyes staring at Ah Jiu were full of sincere apologies. is so honest that people can't bear to blame her.

"Eighth sister is really rare. Both civil and military, and filial piety, standing with you, I am a little ashamed. ”

"The ninth sister has an outstanding appearance. It's the pearl of my mother and father's palm, how can I not catch up with me? ”

"In terms of filial piety to my grandmother, I am not as good as the eighth sister." Ah Jiu lightly broke the 'truth' that Mo Xinqing concealed, "Just rush to the eighth sister's heart." My mother won't blame you. ”

Mo Xinqing didn't want to refuse Mrs. Han's send-off, nor did she just want to use Mrs. Han to give Jiang a horse. I'm afraid that their grandmother is unwilling to return to Beijing by car, and the news of Jiang Cifu's imprisonment, it is impossible for grandmother not to know, at this time, she no longer has to worry about Jiang Cifu, and she can't be a mother-in-law in terms of identity, so she will pull Mrs. Han to be bold.

Mo Xinqing's eyes were solemn, and then she said without regrets: "It's good that my mother doesn't blame me." ”

"Hurry up and go in and talk, so that your mother won't have to wait."

Ah Jiu dragged Mo Xinqing into the door, and paid special attention to this eighth sister who was the same age as herself, if her heart was consistent with her words and deeds, where would she find a sister like her?

Jiang had already gotten up from the kang, but he was lazy and didn't change, leaning on the pillow embroidered with red and gold thread, the crow and the green silk bun, revealing Jiang's white neck, and being looked at by her eyes, it was difficult to remember that Jiang was only middle-class. At this time, Jiang showed all her grace, and in the face of the arrogant Korean lady, Jiang has always been humble and obedient.

"Mo Xinqing said hello to her mother."

kneeling on the futon in a proper manner, Mo Xinqing restrained her pride, like a little concubine trembling under her mother-in-law, and did not dare to have any trespass.

No wonder her biological mother, Aunt Zhou, failed to get benefits from Jiang's mother and daughter several times, and sure enough, their mother and daughter are not ordinary people.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Mother."

After Mo Xinqing kowtowed, he slowly got up, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his hands to stand beside Jiang.

"Madame is awake?"

"When I go back to my mother, I haven't woken up yet."

"In that case, why don't you serve in front of Mrs. Tai? Listen to your aunt, Mrs. Tai can't leave you. ”

Jiang's smile was tactful, but Mo Xinqing didn't dare to treat her as a soft-hearted grandmother, and replied cautiously: "Grandmother just saw that my filial piety was available, and any of these many granddaughters followed her grandmother." I didn't see my mother, and I let my mother outside, but I was really careless, and my grandmother had ordered her to invite my mother into the door before she rested, but I was negligent and asked my mother to punish her. ”

Ah Jiu said with a smile: "Eighth sister is really rare, don't blame grandmother for liking and valuing her the most." The eighth sister is a harmonious family, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of grievances, and her father is happy to know it. Compared with the eighth sister, I am too far apart in heart. ”

"Smack."

Ah Jiu stroked his palm and said, "I'll write ten big characters in a while." ”

"If you practice calligraphy, you will practice calligraphy, what does Sister Tiqing do?" Jiang knows that Ah Jiu has a lot of ideas and sharp words, since Ah Jiu wants to return Mo Xinqing to a dismount, is she still afraid of being a mother?

"Practicing calligraphy can exercise the mind and not be shocked by honor and disgrace. Even if others misunderstand and bear all the faults, there is no regret. ”

Ah Jiu hooked the corners of his mouth at Mo Xinqing, but the smile showed a little contempt and mockery.

Mo Xinqing lowered her head as if she hadn't seen it, a little wooden, and she had no previous spirituality.

Jiang raised his eyebrows, "Sister Qing'er don't take care of everything by herself, carefully stuffy the illness, the children of the Mo family can work together to make the family prosperous, with one person, no amount of praise is just a flash in the pan, not for long." ”

"A daughter obeys her mother's teachings."

Mo Xinqing respectfully agreed. The palm of his hand was almost cut by his fingertips.

"Madam, the mandarin duck has arrived."

Mandarin duck? Jiang glanced at Mo Xinqing suspiciously, and Mo Xinqing said: "It's the big girl next to my grandmother, who has been serving my grandmother, and she has a lot of face in the old mansion. ”

"Ask her what's the matter?"

The Jiang family may not necessarily give face to this 'Mandarin Duck Sister'.

The mandarin duck at the door frowned dissatisfiedly. This lady in charge won't even let her in? Who doesn't know that her words are more effective than ordinary masters. In the old mansion, even the young master greeted her with a smile.

The mandarin duck said neither hard nor soft: "Mrs. Tai wants to see Mrs., let the slave inform you." The slave and maid had to go back to serve the lady, so they didn't enter the door. ”

As if she didn't bother to enter the door.

Ah Jiu's eyebrows raised slightly, "Sister Mandarin Duck is such a big shelf." ”

"Ninth sister, the mandarin duck doesn't know what to do. When I get back to my grandmother, she will punish her. Mo Xinqing said softly: "If the ninth sister is bent on punishing the mandarin ducks. My grandmother left Mandarin Duck abruptly and had just arrived in the capital, and I was worried that my grandmother would not be used to it. ”

Jiang Shi handed his wrist to Ah Jiu, got up and said, "Sister Qing is right. Ah Jiu, you really should learn more from your eighth sister. ”

"Are you willing to make me like the eighth sister?"

"It's not good to be like Sister Qing'er?"

"I'm not the same as the eighth sister, and I can't learn it. Arsenic of the other. My honey. ”

Mo Xinqing was next to him and heard Ah Jiu's words clearly, and the patience that he had cultivated all the year round was almost poked by Ah Jiu. lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly, his resentful gaze flashed, and he silently followed the intimate mother and daughter in front of him towards Yu Qingtang.

Before entering Yu Qingtang, Ah Jiu's eyes swept over Mo Xinqing, and he glanced at Jiang, and the mother and daughter were very wary of Mo Xinqing's expression.

"Mother."

Mo Xinlan and Mo Junyong stood together, and Mo Xinlan took the initiative to give gifts to the Jiang family.

"Third brother."

Mo Xinqing called affectionately.

Mo Junyong nodded with a smile, and also seemed to look at Mo Xinqing highly, and the intimacy was deeper than that of Mo Xinlan's sister.

Interesting, a hint of playfulness flashed in Ah Jiu's eyes, the second sister was afraid that she could feel it, Jiang's heart moved, but Ah Jiu clenched Jiang's wrist and shook his head gently, Jiang frowned and stared at Ah Jiu for a long time, "After entering the door, be well-behaved." ”

"Hmm."

Ah Jiu didn't dare to face the Jiang family, although Mo Xinlan was also very good, it was too difficult to win Mo Xinqing.

The best way is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Ah Jiu is unwilling for Mo Xinlan to passively exchange fire with Mo Xinqing, if Mo Xinlan takes the initiative, she will not stop it.

*****

Mrs. Tai was an old man with gray hair, a slightly dark complexion, and very rough skin, even if she was wearing silk and satin, and her headband was expensive to wipe her forehead, it could not hide the smell of a village woman on her body.

Speaking of which, it has only been ten years since the Mo family got rid of the farmer's situation because of Mo Guanjie, and the old lady has been tending to the crops in the early years and has suffered, even if she is raised now, it is difficult to change the habits of her early years.

In the wealthy Yu Qingtang, in front of the elegant and calm daughter-in-law Jiang, the old lady became more and more vulgar.

Even if the Jiang family respectfully saluted her, she felt that she was a head shorter than her daughter-in-law.

From the moment Jiang entered the door, the old lady didn't like her, and she originally married the daughter of the grandfather's family, but the result was ...... As a result, the delicate and beautiful Xiao Zhou became a concubine, which made the dowry of the little Zhou family that the old lady was looking forward to suddenly decreased.

Although the dowry of the deceased daughter-in-law is there, because the Jiang family is the stepfamily, the dowry is all registered in detail and detail, even if a needle is recorded again, the old lady can't intervene at all.

Sometimes she often thinks that if Xiao Zhou's family is the stepfamily, the Mo family must be richer than now, and as for Jiang's father, who was the champion and became a big official, he was far less influential than gold and silver fields.

The Jiang family is that in addition to the first assistant, can there be hereditary wealth and wealth?

After Jiang entered the door, Mo Guanjie took Jiang to perform his duties, and he left for more than ten years, so that the old lady had no chance to give Jiang a chance to get off the horse, she wanted to send Aunt Zhou to Mo Guanjie, who knew that Mo Guanjie refused, these Jiang did not come forward, but the old lady knew her son's temperament, if there was no Jiang behind his back, Mo Guanjie would not dare to refuse her.

Xiao Zhou's appearance is a hundred times stronger than Jiang's, and he is empathetic, which man doesn't love it?

It wasn't because the Jiang family was jealous that Xiao Zhou stayed in the capital.

There is no mother-in-law who likes a jealous daughter-in-law, especially the old lady who has been digging in the field all the year round, don't look at Mo Guanjie as the most competitive among her sons, and also give her the identity of earning her life, but she does not love her second son Mo Guanjie the most, and always wants to give her eldest son more benefits.

"Yes, yes."

The old lady ignored a row of granddaughters and granddaughters kneeling in front of her, wiped her tears and said: "I heard the news of the second child being imprisoned, I couldn't bear the pain, I couldn't take care of anything and hurried to the capital, I was so tired that my body seemed to fall apart, and there was no place where my bones didn't hurt, but you ...... The daughter-in-law is indifferent, how have you followed the second child in the past few years? Don't you know how to persuade him? It's not that you're not virtuous, Jie'er will never go to prison. ”

She was full of anger, and years of hatred rushed straight towards the Jiang family, Mo Xinqing lowered her head to hide the curvature of the corners of her mouth.
