Chapter 110. Before going to Beijing (Part I).

The remuneration is only concerned about Xiao Mo's achievements and reputation, but Jiarou is only paying Feng Mo himself with a small reward. [Full text reading]

Thinking of this, even with the indifference of Xiao Mo's character, there was a lot of emotion in his heart.

"It's okay over the years, when I first arrived in Shanxian County, life was indeed a little embarrassing, but later, with the publication of books and sales, it gradually got better. Reading for exams is a bit tiring, but I've gotten used to it over the years. ”

After being stunned for a while, Xiao Mo said with a smile.

Seeing that Jiarou was still ashamed to speak, with a slight hesitation in her expression, Zhu Mo's heart moved slightly, and she asked Jiarou with a smile: "If Sister Jiarou is okay now, how about coming to me for a few words?" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo take the initiative to mention it, Jiarou had a look of joy in her eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded yes.

Obviously, she didn't want to be separated from Xiao Mo like this.

In this way, Xiao Mo took Jiarou and chatted while slowly walking towards his study.

As in the past, Jiarou was cautious and followed behind Xiao Mo step by step, talking less and listening more.

Along the way, Xiao Mo couldn't help but talk about the things he had encountered over the years. When it comes to her state's test failure, although time has passed, Jiarou still looks worried; Speaking of publishing a book and establishing a biography, when the world became famous, Jiarou looked at Xiao Mo cautiously with admiration; Speaking of the two best friends Xiao Frame and Fan Guan, who are bickering all day long, all kinds of fate, even if they are as restrained as Jiarou, they can't help but smile lightly

When Jiarou followed Xiao Mo to the study, as she talked all the way, her temperament was no longer as restrained as she was at the beginning, and even under Xiao Mo's inquiry, she would talk about her life in the Yang family over the years.

Although the important is avoided and the language is unknown, from Jiarou's description, Xiao Mo also has a general understanding of Jiarou's life in the Yang family over the years.

As Di Mo had guessed before, Jiarou had no choice but to take refuge in the Yang family because of the early death of her parents, with the character of Yang Shoucheng and his wife, her life in the Yang family was indeed not much different from that of an ordinary servant, and she followed Liu Lanfeng's side all day long, and the slightest mistake was a burst of scolding.

Even, judging from Jiarou's words, the eldest son of the Yang family has been constantly harassing her in recent years, making her frightened, so although Jiarou will often be scolded by Liu Lanfeng's side, she will not dare to leave easily.

Growing up in such an environment, it is no wonder that Jiarou's temperament is so careful.

At the same time, after learning about Jiarou's experience, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel more and more disgusted with Yang Shoucheng and his wife, and looked at Jiarou in front of him who was full of joy just because he talked to him for a few words, and felt even more pity in his heart

In an environment like the Yang family, Jiarou's heart is still so simple, which is not easy, but if a weak person like Jiarou continues to live in the Yang family, he doesn't know what he will be harmed in the end.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo's heart suddenly moved, and he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly he was shocked

Noticing Jiarou's puzzled eyes, Xiao Mo smiled and asked Jiarou: "Sister Jiarou, in a short time, I will go to the capital with my family, are you willing to go with me?" ”

Hearing the previous sentence, Jiarou's eyes suddenly darkened, but after hearing Xiao Mo's inquiry, she couldn't help but be surprised

Get up, the Yang family and the Xiao family are just relatives of Lian Zhi, and the relationship is already a little far away. Jiarou is already a distant relative of the Yang family, and her relationship with the Xiao family, although it can barely be regarded as a relative, is already outside the nine clans.

Although the blood relationship between them is too distant, compared to the days when she lived in the Yang family, Jiarou prefers to live in the Xiao family, and the people here are very polite to her. For Jiarou, as long as there is less scolding and less harassment in life, she will be very satisfied.

What's more, there is also her brother Mo here, from childhood to day, Xiao Mo is the only one who will give her a sense of security and attachment. Every time she talked to Xiao Mo, she was always more relaxed than ever

However, although her face was happy, after Jia Rou hesitated for a moment, she still cautiously asked Xiao Mo, "Can I?" ”

Xiao Mo knew that Jiarou was worried that her relationship with the Xiao family was too estranged, and if she took refuge in the Xiao family, it would inevitably be a little incorrect, so she smiled and said with relief: "Since you call me Brother Mo, then you are my sister, that is, the young lady of the Xiao family." What's the problem with living in the Xiao family from now on? ”

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Jiarou's face turned even redder, and she was very moving, but after hesitating for a moment, she asked again: "But, I'm stupid, I don't know anything, I can't do anything here." And grandfather and grandmother, will they agree? ”

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "You will come to the Xiao family to be the eldest lady in the future, and you are not asked to do things, where do you need to do anything?" From now on, you just need to live in the Xiao family with peace of mind, and your life will be taken care of by your own subordinates. As for the Yang family, I'll talk to them. ”

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Jiarou was both happy and disappointed.

I am happy that I can get rid of the sea of suffering from this and get along with Xiao Mo.

What is lost is that Xiao Mo's words made her very non-existent. From the bottom of her heart, Jiarou still hopes that the reason why Xiao Mo took her in Xiao Mansion is because she can help Xiao Mo, not just because of Xiao Mo's temporary pity, she just wants her to be an idle young lady from now on.

Xiao Mo didn't know what was going on in her daughter's family, so she just continued to talk with Jiarou for a while, and then sent Jiarou back to her small courtyard.

When talking to Jiarou before, Xiao Mo accidentally thought of an idea, calculate the time, now is the best time to implement it.

After returning to the study, Xiao Mo pondered for a moment before suddenly raising his voice: "Cao Fei." ”

As Xiao Mo's words fell, like a ghost, the door of the study opened and closed, and then Cao Fei appeared silently in front of Xiao Mo.

Looking at Cao Fei's appearance, Xiao Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Although this Cao Fei has become Xiao Mo's personal guard like Chu Da, his previous nature as a Jiangyang thief has not changed, and he is extremely cautious in his work. Although he always follows Xiao Mo's side, he is hidden in the shadows and often disappears, even Xiao Mo rarely finds his traces. Unless summoned by Xiao Mo, Zhi Shao showed up.

According to Cao Fei's words, the guards should be divided into clear guards and secret guards, and only in this way can they protect Xiao Mo and be thorough as much as possible.

Although Xiao Mo felt that Cao Fei was making a fuss like this, he was just a layman after all, and he was not good at commanding indiscriminately.

"Cao Fei, you go to Yang's Mansion and call Yang Shoucheng and his wife

Xiao Mo commanded.

Cao Fei nodded and left silently again.

And with Cao Fei leaving, Xiao Mo also stood up and took Deng Shangquan and Chu Da to walk towards the courtyard where Xiao Shenxing and the Liu family were.

In recent days, with the return of Xiao Mo, the Liu family has gradually handed over all the power of the Xiao family to Xiao Mo's hands, and the days are rarely leisurely.

But Xiao Mo's next decision was too important after all, and it would be bad if he decided on his own without consulting Xiao Shenxing and the Liu family.

When Xiao Mo came to Xiao Shenxing and Liu's room, he saw that Liu was nagging Xiao Shenxing about some trivial matters in life, and Xiao Shenxing looked at the chess game while smiling and nodding to deal with it, although it was an old husband and wife, it was still a warm scene.

Seeing Xiao Mo's appearance, both Liu and Xiao Shenxing were very happy, and Liu even pulled Xiao Mo to his side, asking about Xiao Mo's life and studies, although he would ask once a day, but Liu did not feel tired.

Looking at Liu's nagging, Xiao Shenxing shook his head with a smile, closed the chess game in his hand, and asked Xiao Mo: "Mo'er, you just came to greet us in the morning, and now you are here again, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said to the second elder: "Grandfather and grandmother, it's like this, in two months, I will enter Beijing to take the exam." Judging from the current situation, after the palace examination, Sun Er should stay in Beijing as an official, and I am afraid that there will be very few opportunities to return to Huanzhou from the umbrella onwards.

The palace test has not yet begun, but Xiao Mo has already begun to talk about being an official in Beijing, and others may be a little arrogant or ignorant, but for Xiao Mo, it is a matter of course.

Everyone knows that Xiao Mo has only one goal when he enters Beijing to take the exam this time, that is, to be the top student!!

In fact, if Xiao Mo reads it easily on his mobile phone for this imperial examination: after wα is sorted out, he is not ranked first, it will be a great wonder for the world.

In history, any of the top three Jinshi will stay in Beijing to become a scholar of Hanlin or Hou Ge, and there is no precedent for being released from other states after entering the court as an official.

In other words, it is inevitable that Xiao Modian will become an official in the capital after the examination. Neither Liu nor Xiao Shenxing thought that there would be anything wrong with such a discussion.

On the other side, hearing Xiao Mo's words, whether it was Xiao Shenxing or Liu, they were slightly stunned, and their expressions were gloomy.

After Di Mo became famous, they had already faintly thought of this day, but they didn't dare to imagine that Xiao Mo would leave their side again for a long time in the future.

As they got older, they didn't want to be separated from Xiao Mo, the only grandchild.

Xiao Shenxing looked at Xiao Mo, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally just sighed silently and kept silent.

Seeing the appearance of Xiao Shenxing and the Liu family, Xiao Mo smiled slightly, and said: "Grandson's idea is that since grandson will stay in Beijing in the future, and at the same time, there are no other children in this sect except me, and it is not appropriate for my grandfather and grandmother to stay alone in Huanzhou and have no one to take care of their filial piety." So I thought, grandfather and grandmother, can you accompany me to Beijing and move my family, so that our Xiao family will settle in the capital in the future?

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Liu and Xiao Shenxing were both happy.

Originally, they had already thought about this method, but the customs of the Chu Dynasty, people who entered Beijing as officials, in addition to their wives and children, generally brought fewer relatives, otherwise they would be ostentatious, so although the two elders had such thoughts, they never proposed it, but they just didn't want to embarrass Xiao Mo.

But at this moment, since Xiao Mo took the initiative to propose, it was the best for the second elder.

But Xiao Shenxing still hesitated and said: "Although Huanzhou is the place where my Xiao family initiated, since Mo'er you will enter Beijing as an official in the future, it is nothing for our sect to move your family, but if you accompany you to Beijing when you go to Beijing to take the exam, it is not compliant, right?"

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "Grandson's idea is this, from today on, our Xiao family will begin to prepare for the relocation, and after two months, everything will be fine, we will leave together, and then when we pass through Nanzhou, grandfather and grandmother will stay there for a while, and grandchildren will continue to enter Beijing to catch the exam." After the title of the grandchildren's gold list, you can immediately enter Beijing to live with your grandchildren. This not only saves a lot of trouble, but also saves time, what do grandparents think?

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, the Liu family and Xiao Shenxing glanced at each other, the relocation of this sect is a big deal after all, even they can't make a decision, but after thinking about it for a while, they still nodded in agreement.

Although it is difficult to leave their homeland, for the Liu family and Xiao Shenxing, as long as they can be by Xiao Mo's side, it is not a big deal.

What's more, the capital is prosperous and known to the world, if this sect can gain a firm foothold in the capital, it will be an opportunity for the Xiao family.

Finally, Liu nodded and decided: "Okay, just do what Mo'er said, tomorrow we will start preparing for the move, and we will go to live in the capital with you in the future." ”

Hearing that Liu followed his advice, Xiao Mo nodded with a smile, and after hesitating for a moment, he said again: "However, Sun Er is still worried about another thing.

Xiao Shenxing asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Mo frowned and said: "It is the property of our sect in Huanzhou, I calculated, there are about more than 600 fields, and there are two houses, one large and one small, the people of this sect are thin, if we leave, but there is no suitable person to take care of these industries, if we abandon it, but it is a waste, grandmother, what do you think these industries should be handled?" “

Liu Shi was slightly stunned, just now he was just happy to be able to accompany Xiao Mo to the capital, but he thought of this problem under Xiao Mo's reminder, and he couldn't help frowning.

On the other side, Xiao Shenxing was thoughtful, and vaguely guessed the true purpose of Xiao Mo's visit this time.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, it should be entrusted to the relatives of the clan to manage it on their behalf. It's just that the Xiao family has gone through the ups and downs of all these years, what kind of virtue are those distant relatives of the side branches, whether it is the Liu family or Xiao Shenxing, they are all very liquid, if the ancestral business of the Xiao family is entrusted to them to manage on their behalf, I am afraid that in less than two years, these ancestral industries will become a peerless name.

However, the Xiao family's own sect is thin, but they can't distinguish the manpower to stay in Huanzhou.

While Liu was frowning and thinking hard, Xiao Shenxing asked Xiao Mo, "Mo'er, what do you think?" ”
