Chapter 175: Door-to-door proposal
Early this morning, the entire Wenxi City was boiling again, and it was said that it was because King Yong'an, who had always been unsociable, actually went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage.
The carriage of the Yong'an Palace's Mansion drove out of Liuyue Lane, then crossed Changsheng Street and stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mo Yanxi sighed and asked a little reluctantly, "Do we have to go?" Why do you have to go? ”
"Since ancient times, marriage events, parents' appointments, matchmakers' words, indispensable, if you don't go through this experience, it is inevitable that someone will gossip about you behind your back in the future, don't worry, everything is with me, you don't have to do anything, if you don't want to see people, just go to the yard where your mother stays, I heard that the place has been empty, no one lives."
Yuan Huaisheng said, was helped out of the carriage by Murayi, and then turned his head to pick up Mo Yanxi personally.
There are already many people waiting at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter how reluctant they are, it is King Yong'an who comes, even if he is dismissed, he is also a royal prince, and they must wait respectfully.
Mo Fulin had a cold face, and after saluting, he led Yuan Huaisheng in, as for Mo Yanxi, he didn't even want to look at it.
Of course, Mo Yanxi didn't have the heart to care about him, her mind was all in the incense garden at this time, and I heard Yuan Huaisheng say that the place had been deserted, and Mo Yanxi didn't think anyone would want to live there. The Incense Garden can be said to be the worst courtyard in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which has been in disrepair for a long time, and even the places where some big girls live are more gorgeous than them.
"Twenty emerald pearls! Twenty pearls in the sea of Zihai! Save two gold-inlaid pearl agate lotus hairpins! Two pairs of Tengyun Mobao! Two gilded ingots incense burners! Ice Jade Ruyi two! Two white jade bracelets in Qinghe! A pair of phoenix golden hairpins! A pair of Puhua jadeite! ……… Two golden horses and jade pots! Twenty phoenix brocades, two pairs of embroidered phoenix fans! There are also 40 gold ingots! A total of 222 pieces! ”
Muraichi took the long dowry list and read it for half an hour before finishing it.
This thing was brought in box by box, and it couldn't be put in Yan'an Hall, it spread all the way, and the team was almost behind the next door!
"Prime Minister Mo, are you satisfied with this king's things?"
Yuan Huaisheng nodded, took a sip of tea, and looked at Mo Fulin with a smile.
Mo Fulin's face was gloomy, and his unhappiness was all revealed on his face, and when he heard this, he said coldly: "Lord Wang, this thing was brought by you, what is the use of being dissatisfied with what I said, after all, it is not left in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
That's right, although these dowries were brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion, most of them were personally selected by the emperor and queen and given to Mo Yanxi, and they naturally couldn't accept these things.
"Prime Minister Mo, what you said is out of sight, propose relatives to give dowry, marry relatives with dowry, no matter what Yan Xi says, she is also your daughter, this king has to show something. Otherwise, if there is any rumor that spreads another day, where will this king's face go? ”
Mo Yanxi sat on the side, drinking tea quietly, and almost squirted out the tea when he heard this. Yuan Huaisheng's words were all signaling Mo Fulin not to be stingy, since she is her own daughter, this dowry is indispensable.
Sure enough, Mo Fulin's face was even more gloomy, and he was about to eat people. And Zhang Ruping on the side naturally understood the meaning of these words. I saw her eyes roll, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, this Mo Yanxi is not from our Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, and it has nothing to do with us if she wants to marry." ”
Hearing this, Mo Fulin turned his head and glared at Zhang Ruping viciously, eager to devour her alive.
Yuan Huaisheng raised his eyebrows with interest: "I have long heard that Prime Minister Mo Cheng helped the concubine in the family to be the housewife, thinking about it, I am afraid that I don't know the rules of Yuan Ling marrying a wife and a concubine, even if this concubine is favored, she is not qualified to ascend to the hall of elegance." I didn't expect that the ancient wonders were encountered by this king here, and since you said that Mo Yanxi has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, then let's go. Without a father or mother, there is no parental covenant. That's what it will do. ”
Mo Yanxi couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth, Yuan Huaisheng is really scolding people around the corner. However, she was sure that Mo Fulin would never let Zhang Ruping do anything wrong, not to mention that she was originally a concubine and had no right to speak. As far as the king of Yong'an is concerned, if they are bombarded out, I am afraid that the prime minister's mansion will be surrounded by water, and the people can drown him with a mouthful of saliva.
What's more, King Yong'an came on behalf of the royal family, and Mo Fulin didn't dare to save the royal family's face even if he had ten thousand guts.
"Slut! You shut up! Let me go down and go to the ancestral hall to reflect on it! ”
Mo Fulin really turned around with a grim face, and unceremoniously gave Zhang Ruping a lesson in the face.
Mo Baiqing naturally couldn't stand his mother's grievances, so he quickly got up and said, "Father... Mother, she was also unintentional! You..."
"Rebel! Go down with you! ”
Who would have thought that before Mo Baiqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Fulin!
The two of them didn't dare to delay any longer, except for Yan'an Hall.
"The prince, a lowly woman, has not read any books, please do not forget to blame the prince! Today you came with so many gifts, obviously sincere, Yan Xi has been naughty since childhood, has a bad temperament, and made a heinous mistake, thanks to the prince, I don't dislike it, and I don't know what blessings she cultivated in her last life. Although I can't forgive her sins as a father, it is a father and daughter after all, and she is naturally happy to find a good son-in-law now. ”
Mo Fulin gritted his teeth and said, there was no joy in his tone. Hypocrisy at its core.
When Yuan Huaisheng heard this, he smiled and said: "Prime Minister Mo Cheng is afraid that he is old and confused, and the matter of the day has not yet been decided!" Since it is something that is not yet clear, do not speculate. Or does Prime Minister Mo want to deliberately label Mo Yanxi as a mother-killer, and then let everyone in the world know that the king's wife is a murderer? Or is it that the younger brother and daughter-in-law personally chosen by His Majesty today turned out to be a sinner with a bad record? ”
When Mo Fulin heard this, his eyes were stunned, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the minister doesn't dare!" That's not what the minister meant! It's just that! It's just that! ”
"Back to the prince, my father recently thought of my poor mother, and his heart was full of pain for a while, and he looked forward to finding the murderer as soon as possible and bringing her to justice, so that he would say such a thing, and I hope that the prince can read on his father's childlike feelings, and he can have a lot of adults, and don't be held responsible."
At the critical moment, Mo Youxi came out to relieve Mo Fulin, and Mo Fulin nodded hurriedly.
Yuan Huaisheng's face gradually softened, and when Mo Youxi saw this, he hurriedly looked at Mo Yanxi on the side, and said with a smile: "My sister and I haven't seen each other for nearly three years, and in the past three years, the Prime Minister's Mansion has changed a lot, so it's better for me to take my sister to take a look around." Since it's a matter of marriage, you and my father can't talk about anything, right? ”
Mo Yanxi just wanted to find a reason to go out, but when he saw Mo Youxi being the first to say it, he was not polite, and informed Yuan Huaisheng. followed Mo Youxi out of Yan'an Hall.
The two walked along a cobblestone path for a while, until they couldn't see the person brought by Yuan Huaisheng at all, Mo Youxi shook off Mo Yanxi's arm this time, and said, "I really didn't expect that the sparrow must have a time to fly on the branch and become a phoenix." King Yong'an is really unique. ”
Mo Yanxi listened to it, and laughed without surprise: "Just now, my sister is long, my sister is short, and I can't wait to kill me now, that day in the imperial garden, you looked pitiful and sympathetic." Mo Youxi, you are really changeable. I don't know how many faces you've grown. ”
"In front of others, I am acting on the spot, I don't like you in my heart, and I dirty my eyes, so you can only die."
Mo Yanxi was not afraid at all when he heard this, and laughed instead of being angry: "So what? Are you planning to get your hands dirty here? Silently dispose of me completely? Or is it just lip service and doesn't dare to do it at all? ”
Mo Youxi raised his eyebrows when he heard Mo Yanxi's provocative words, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. But after a while, he returned to his original smile.
"Where do I dare, now you are in power. If you die in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if you have a hundred mouths who can't tell us, what are you anxious about. I have time to play with you. ”
Mo Youxi said, then sneered and left with Herui.
Xiangxue was standing not far from Mo Yanxi, and when she saw Mo Youxi leaving, she put the dagger in her sleeve back on, walked over, and whispered: "In the past, she was arrogant, because of Mo Fu's love, she did a lot of dirty things behind her back, and when my aunt was there, although she didn't feel too embarrassed, she didn't give a good look." ”
Mo Yanxi listened, his face gradually calmed down, and he fell into deep thought.
According to Xiangxue's words, it can be known that Mo Youxi has no hatred with his mother-in-law at all. It stands to reason that the death of his mother cannot have anything to do with Mo Youxi.
But in the entire Mo Mansion, only Mo Fulin and Mo Youxi have the ability to make such a big move.
The more Mo Yanxi thought about it, the more he couldn't find the reason, and finally he didn't want to think about it at all, and went to the incense garden with Xiangxue leisurely.
This incense garden is really uninhabited. It's very quiet, and there are not many people around. The lilacs at the door are dead. No small purple flowers can bloom anymore. At a glance, the words on the door were blurry and unclear, and a layer of ash had fallen on it. Entering the courtyard, Mo Yanxi found that except for the dust and cobwebs that could be seen everywhere, there was basically no change inside. Even the swing that her mother made for her was still hanging intact.
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. Flowers bloom and fall, things are not people, time passes, and after all, it is different.
