Chapter 12, Old Things
"Tell me, how long has it been? In the past, he fooled around outside, but now that the master is back, he doesn't come back. No way! Aunt Yun, send someone to find the eldest young master back, even if he is tied up, he will be tied back. Liu commanded angrily.
"Yes." Yun Gu answered, turned around and retreated.
Liu was the only one left in the silent room, and looking at the empty room, Liu's face gradually took on a layer of gloom.
In a green building on the street, charming figures shuttled through it, and a woman dressed in red walked among them, smiling and greeting around: "Ouch, Wang Gongzi, you haven't been here for a long time." "Ouch, Master Zhao, you're here, Cui'er, why don't you hurry up and serve Master Zhao."
This woman is the old bustard of this green building.
In a room in the backyard of the Qinglou, a curtain covered it, and several figures faintly revealed from it.
"Young Master Mo, when are you going to take Hong'er away?" A coquettish voice rang out.
"Don't be in a hurry, let me kiss me and I'll take you away." A male voice replied.
"Young Master Mo is eccentric!" Then another woman's voice rang out.
"Hahaha, it's all there!" The man laughed.
At this moment, the door was opened, and a wind poured in, blowing away the obscene atmosphere in the room.
"Ahh The woman in the room screamed in fright.
"Who is so bold and doesn't know that I, Mo Zhe, am here?" The man roared angrily.
This man is the son of the Liu family, the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion - Mo Zhe.
Mo Zhe lifted the curtain angrily, and when he saw the person who came, the anger on his face went down a little, but he still looked disdainful.
"Aunt Yun, it's you! What are you looking for me?"
Standing at the door at this time was none other than Yun Gu who was ordered by the Liu family to come to find Mo Zhe.
Yun Gu replied: "Eldest young master, Madame has an order, ordering you to return home quickly." ”
"Mother? Did she say anything?" Mo Zhe obviously had no intention of moving, half leaning and half leaning on the woman next to him.
"The master has returned home!" Yun Gu replied.
Mo Zhe was startled from the woman, hurriedly got out of bed, picked up the clothes on the ground, and asked while putting on his clothes, "My father?" Didn't he go to Yaozhou? Why did you come back so soon? ”
"The matter in Yaozhou was completed ahead of schedule, and the master came back ahead of schedule, and the lady said, in the future, it is better to come to this kind of place less." Yun Gu glanced at the two half-naked people on the bed with her eyes.
"Alright, let's go!" At this time, Mo Zhe was already dressed, and hurriedly urged Yun Gu who was waiting, not even looking at the complaining eyes of the two women on the bed. "Young Master Mo, Young Master Mo......"
Day 2.
Mo Jiuwu stood in the courtyard, watching the flowers blooming in the flowerbed next to him stretching their branches and leaves in the hot sun, while Qingqing looked around.
"Don't worry, she'll meet us." Mo Jiuwu said, but never took his eyes off the flowers.
"Miss, why are we here to see Mrs. Lin?" Qingqing was puzzled.
"They helped us last night, and we have to thank them no matter what we say today." Mo Jiuwu took his eyes off the flowers and looked at the figure walking not far away, "Okay, here." ”
Hearing this, Qingqing turned his head and saw the Lin family's personal maid walking towards them.
"Fifth Miss, Madame is invited."
Mo Jiuwu smiled slightly, "I'm tired." After saying that, he followed the maid into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin standing in front of the table, fiddling with a pot of flowers on the table, as if he was not satisfied, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Madam, the fifth lady is here." The maid reminded on the side.
But Lin didn't answer, didn't even raise his head, and still fiddled with the potted plants by himself.
"Miss Five, please be seated." The maid beckoned to Mo Jiuwu, but Mo Jiuwu didn't pay attention, but walked to Lin's side, took the scissors on the table and began to trim.
"Sometimes more is not necessarily pretty, cut off those that grow out appropriately, and the rest will have room to grow." After trimming, Mo Jiuwu put down the scissors and said.
Lin looked at the completely different potted plants, and his furrowed brows also relaxed, and then he raised his head to look at Mo Jiuwu.
"I wonder what happened to Miss Fifth coming to me today?" Lin took the handkerchief handed over by his servant and wiped his hands and asked.
"It's not a thing, it's just to thank Madame." Mo Jiuwu replied, and leaned over slightly towards the Lin family after speaking.
"Fifth Miss is serious, I didn't help you with anything, just impulsively." Lin also said, as if she really hadn't helped Mo Jiuwu.
"Really? But last night's move, I don't think it was Madame's impulse. Mo Jiuwu's eyes were fixed on the Lin family.
Looking at Mo Jiuwu, who was only thirteen years old in front of him, Lin was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed at himself, "I can't help you either, but I still have to advise you, don't go against Liu, since you have decided to pretend to be stupid, then keep pretending!" At the very least, lives can be saved. ”
Mo Jiuwu began to laugh as if she had heard some funny joke. Lin looked at Mo Jiuwu suspiciously, and suddenly found that Mo Jiuwu, who was only thirteen years old in front of him, couldn't see through it.
"Yes! Originally, I thought that I could at least live by pretending to be stupid, but, madam, you have also seen that sometimes you can't get along with each other if you don't endure it, and if I don't trouble them, won't they come to me for trouble? No, they will only get stronger and stronger, so dodging only belongs to the weak, but I, Mo Jiuwu, am not weak. Mo Jiuwu looked at Lin and said domineeringly.
Lin was completely stunned, looking at the person in front of him, he couldn't believe that this sentence actually came from the mouth of a thirteen-year-old child.
"Everyone has their own choices, so I still have to thank you for yesterday's events, at least, you weren't like them." After Mo Jiuwu finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but Lin's helpless voice came from behind him, "It's hard to imagine that a person with a personality like her can have a child as different as you." ”
Mo Jiuwu was stunned for a moment, his footsteps stopped, and he turned his head to look at Lin, not understanding what she meant.
"What are you talking about?" Mo Jiuwu asked.
"Also, you were only two years old when she died, and it's been eleven years since she died, and you must not remember her anymore." Lin sat on the chair and looked at Mo Jiuwu.
"Do you know how your mother died?" Lin looked at Mo Jiuwu, but before Mo Jiuwu could answer, he said to himself.
"She was a defeated and died with hatred. The first time I saw you was thirteen years ago, one day, a woman appeared in Xiangfu with a baby still in swaddling clothes, saying that the baby was Xiangye's daughter, we only knew that when Xiangye went out on business, he inadvertently fell in love with a peasant girl, and then the emperor Zhao Xiangye returned to Beijing, Xiangye promised that the peasant girl, when the time came, he would definitely send someone to pick her up, but you also know who Xiangye was, and soon after he came back, he forgot about the woman, who knew that the woman was pregnant with Xiangye's child, and came to the door, In order not to let the outside world know about this ugly thing, Xiangye accepted the woman as a concubine. Speaking of this, Lin paused for a moment and took a sip of tea before continuing.
"That woman is your mother, and it was not a big deal to have multiple women in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but your mother didn't seem to be satisfied with being a concubine, so she began to fight for power with Liu, who was already the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time. Indeed, she did have the upper hand at the beginning, but she was still too simple, because no matter when, Xiangye would not pull Liu down from the position of the housewife, because behind Liu was Shangshufu. Therefore, the result speaks for itself, and their power struggle lasted for two years, that is, when you were two years old, your mother was not able to fight the Liu family, so she died of illness in daily regrets. Lin got up and looked at Mo Jiuwu, "In this battle, I have witnessed everything. And the reason why I am telling you is not to stop you from anything, but to hope that you will not follow your mother's path. ”
Looking at the Lin family in front of him, Mo Jiuwu didn't answer, just leaned down slightly at her, and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Mo Jiuwu leaving, Lin's mouth opened lightly, as if he was saying something, but no one heard it clearly.
And Mo Jiuwu, who left from the Lin family, walked on the way back to the West Courtyard, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, in fact, after listening to the story of Mo Jiuwu's mother told by the Lin family, Mo Jiuwu was not too fluctuated, first, she was not the real Mo Jiuwu, so that woman's affairs had little to do with her, and secondly, she didn't think that she would end up in the same situation as that woman, if that was the case, then she would be sorry for the so many court dramas that her agent gave her, so when it comes to court routines, she is very familiar with them.
Looking at Mo Jiuwu with a calm face, Qingqing's hanging heart was put down, she thought that when she heard what Lin said, Mo Jiuwu might collapse, but no.
"Miss, in fact, Madame didn't fight for the position of the mistress, Madame just didn't want you to be said to be born from a concubine, so she ......," Qingqing explained on the side.
Mo Jiuwu was stunned for a moment and looked at Qingqing, "Qingqing, how do you know?" By the way, how did you get to the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
"When Qingqing met Madame, Miss was still very young! It's just babbling. Qingqing came to the capital at the age of three with his family to escape the famine, but in the middle of the road, the family starved to death, died of illness, only Qingqing arrived in the capital alive, but he didn't understand anything. Fortunately, Qingqing was taken in by an old beggar, so he had a bite to eat, and then Qingqing met Mrs., and Mrs. took Qingqing to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of Miss, Qingqing sometimes listens to Mrs. Madame talking to herself, I didn't know at the time, but now I understand that Mrs. is also for Miss. Qingqing said, a layer of mist gathered in his eyes.
When Mo Jiuwu heard this, he was slightly stunned, a sadness welled up in his body, and his eyes involuntarily flashed a layer of mist.
Mo Jiuwu touched the liquid that flowed out of her eyes, and she didn't know what to do, it may have involved the mother of the original owner, so this sadness should come from the original owner.
