Chapter 144: Apricot's Worries (First Update)
"Speaking of this Young Master Li, it has something to do with you," Xing'er said, in the night, she couldn't see Chen Mo's face clearly, she only heard him snort lightly, and said tightly: "You forgot, if you didn't want to raise carrier pigeons, the ninth girl couldn't play with this Young Master Li's eight poles, how could she know each other?" ”
"But isn't the person who can domesticate carrier pigeons called Xi Xiaolei?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.
"Yes, but that Young Master Li lived in Mr. Xi's house, and later, for convenience, General Huo sent someone to buy a house from the back street, and Mr. Xi moved over, and Young Master Li also followed, and the nine girls went over occasionally, and they got to know each other after coming and going."
"The ninth girl has a high vision, so Young Master Li must have something extraordinary, right?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.
Xing'er nodded and said: "Young Master Li's appearance is naturally needless to say, Bo Gu Tong is now rich and rich, it is rare to be quite fluent in sound rhythm, and the flute is very clever......
"So, Ninth Girl, is this Boya meeting the sub-stage?" Chen Mo said in a sour tone that even he couldn't realize, smiled after speaking, and said: "Beautiful talents, good stories through the ages...... Go back and tell your ninth girl, and on her wedding day, our family will give her a big gift...... It's not too early, let's say goodbye! ”
"Wait!" Seeing that Chen Mo was leaving, Xing'er couldn't help but call him out loud, and stopped talking, until Chen Mo was a little impatient, and finally said: "The girl fell too fast, and the slave family was ......a little worried."
Chen Mo asked strangely, "What are you worried about?" ”
"I'm worried that the girl has been deceived by Young Master Li, according to Young Master Li, he originally went to Beijing to take the exam. Originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, his ancestors were salt merchants. Or the ninth place in the Zhejiang examination, if it weren't for the small place that stained the exam paper. It is possible to have a ...... It can really be described as handsome and chic, suave, and the export is a chapter, but, I don't know why, the slave family just thinks that this Young Master Li is unreliable. Master, you are a friend of the Ninth Girl, and the slave family wondered, can you talk about the girl and let her calm down a little......"
"Calm down?" Chen Mo didn't hear what he was talking about. Hurriedly interrupted Xing'er: "What do you mean?" ”
Xing'er suddenly lowered her voice, leaned next to Chen Mo's ear and whispered: "Once, the slave family overheard the girl talking to Young Master Li, and between her words, she revealed the intention of eloping with him......
Xing'er exhaled like an orchid, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and when he heard the word "elopement", he came back to his senses and was shocked: "What? It's only been a few days, huh? ”
"Sir, are you quiet?" Apricot grumbled softly.
Chen Mo came to his senses. Hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't you say that Young Master Li was the one who went to Beijing to take the exam?" By the way, you said that he would try ninth, but this year is the year of the Lunar New Year. Last year was the year of Dabi, huh? ”
"Don't mention it, according to that Young Master Li, when the palace exam was held last year. He ate something bad and had diarrhea, so he didn't enter the exam room directly! ”
"Oh." Chen Mo nodded, and asked again: "Then he still hasn't good to go home and review his homework." What are you doing in this Jingshi? ”
"Who knows?"
"But even so, after ten years of cold windows, it was the title of the gold list, and the ninth girl didn't encourage this Young Master Li to start over, how could she think about it......"
"Master, you don't know this, the girl encountered great difficulties when she was young, which can be said to be related to the court, because she doesn't attach much importance to the matter of entering the court as an official, on the contrary, there is still some rejection, and I always feel that no matter how good a person is, as soon as he enters the officialdom, he will change his taste, so it is not strange to have this idea."
"I see!" Chen Mo nodded, he had long known that Li Jiumei and this apricot were both people with stories, but he had never asked, and seeing that the topic had come to this, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you two known each other for a long time?" A master? ”
"Do you have times when you can't help it?" Xing'er said secretly in her heart and said: "Actually, the slave family has long known that the master has asked this question, but the master is really calm, and you have been holding it until now." And you didn't even ask us about the details, so you handed over such an important errand to us, aren't you really afraid that we will harm you? ”
"Do you will?" Chen Mo did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Of course not," Xing'er said quickly: "The master is the most unusual person the slave family has ever seen in his life, the slave family knows that the master is a person who does great things, and he can help the master, and the slave family and the cousin are very happy......"
"Cousin?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "What do you mean, the ninth girl is your cousin?" ”
"Exactly, she is the child of the slave aunt, the two families, both of them were ruined by the imperial court in the Jiajing year, and there are only two of us left, and later, by chance, I entered the Yuexian Building, and I have always been known as a master and servant." Xing'er said this, sighed slightly, and continued: "Because of this, the slave family can't watch her being deceived, and ask the master to think of a way for us to help you with all our hearts, right?" ”
"Broken family?" Chen Mo paid more attention to this, pondered it, and simply asked directly: "The reason why each of your sisters and sons helped our family so much, but what grievances do you have, I hope that one day, the grievances will not be successful?" ”
Apricot confessed: "Yes! Then he added another sentence in his heart: "Yes at the beginning, ...... now?" "Even she couldn't tell.
"What grievances do you have against you? Isn't the ninth girl on good terms with Xu Wenbi and Zhu Xixiao? In our Ming Dynasty, who are there who they dare not move? ”
Xing'er didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while, and finally said: "It's hard to say, don't ask, master, tell you now, it's just to add to your troubles...... Or Young Master Li, you have to think of a way? ”
"People who are in love are blind, listen to what you mean, your cousin has already fallen in love with that Young Master Li at first sight, what good way can our family think of?" Chen Mo said, listening to Xing'er's heavy sigh, he couldn't bear it, so he said again: "Forget it, let's take the time to meet that Young Master Li, and check for the ninth girl, it's really like what you said, let's think about it again, okay?" ”
Xing'er said, "That's all it can be...... How long will it take for you to come back this time? ”
"I can't say," Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, tomorrow, tomorrow, our family must get up early tomorrow, this is always okay, right?" ”
Xing'er smiled and took a blessing: "The master walks slowly, and the slave family will not send it!" ”
Back at Chen's mansion, Chen Mo asked, and heard that Chen Ju was not there, but Chen You had not entered the palace, he had been waiting in his room, and hurriedly threw the reins of the horse to the little fireman, and walked quickly to his residence.
The lights were on in the room, Chen Mo pushed the door and saw that Chen You was sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed and drinking tea, and couldn't help but smile: "Our personal eunuch, how can you have time today, and go to our house to steal tea and drink?" ”
"Phew, do we still need to steal? Drinking you is giving you face, okay? Chen You scolded with a smile, and said with a swipe of the tea cup in his hand: "But this big red robe is of the highest quality, where did you get it, let's get a few catties!" ”
"Get out!" Chen Mo scolded with a smile and asked, "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what is the important thing to find our family?" (To be continued......)
