Chapter III

After a ceremony, everyone became familiar with each other, and they sat down in turn, and the maids and maids poured tea and snacks. Mo Ziling watched everyone talk, picked up the osmanthus cake and ate it, Zilan glanced at it, and saw that she continued to eat and picked the corners of her mouth and continued to reply to Mr. Han's words.

Mo Ziling has always been practical, and the osmanthus cake made by the master is sweet and soft, so she must eat more. wiped his hands and picked up the teacup, and looked at this disciple who worshiped Shi Niang by drinking tea, he was not only a disciple of Shi Niang, but also his own senior brother, let alone polite. The person surnamed Ji is from Wangji, and he must be a member of the royal family, but I don't know which clan he is from. The master did not go into details, only said that he was the son of the old man; watching his movements, he was polite but not humble, and Tsinghua's noble temperament could not be covered even if he was dressed in cloth.

Mo Ziling recalled the royal information of this dynasty: the current Emperor Jun is in his twilight years, and he has been in power for more than 30 years, and he is mediocre. The vassal states of the Quartet were disrespectful, and Dongyan already had its own private money circulating, and Beiqiang was even more impatient, launching several small-scale battles, which was probably a test of the king's reaction. However, Emperor Jun actually allowed the nuisance to be disturbed, and twice gave the king of Beiqiang a reward for royal things to appease. Emperor Jun is old, although there are many beauties in each palace but no heirs, only a maid in the palace was lucky enough to give birth to an emperor concubine because of a night of pampering, and raised in the Kunfeng Hall of the emperor Mo Yining. Emperor Jun had five younger brothers, who were also in their twilight years, each with many heirs, and the successor to the throne of Emperor Jun was inevitably one of the five kings, and their heirs were in their prime. Nowadays, the royal family is already in dire straits. This person came to Li Cheng at this time to worship Mr. Han, and he had to impress Mo Ziling.

Ji Yuchen's side was also thinking about Mo Zilan and his entourage in the middle of the conversation. Mo Zilan, known as the "Jade Prince" at the time, lived up to his reputation: people are like beautiful jade, gentle and elegant, and after a conversation, it can be confirmed that this person is worthy of friendship. On the contrary, Mo Ziling, who is known as Mo Zilan's entourage, is not to be underestimated, although he doesn't talk about it, he only occasionally answers lightly, and sits there quietly and coldly. Although the body is thin and small, there is no sign of weakness, the skin is white and delicate, the face is beautiful, and the bearing is a little bit better than that of Mo Zilan, the son of Xiyue. If it weren't for Mr. Han's disciple, Ji Yuchen would even suspect that the person in front of him who was a little lazy in the cold was more inclined than Emperor Ji. Seeing him enjoying the osmanthus cake comfortably, he couldn't help but smile: after all, he is still a young man!

When Shen Shi and everyone walked into the dining room and began to eat, because the food was silent, everyone was silent and did not hear the sound. After dinner, they re-entered the front hall, and after using the tea, the Mo Zilan brothers and sisters said goodbye and returned to the palace. Gongsun Yue sent them out, and informed them that the New Year was approaching, and Mo Ziling's senior brother Han Fang's return was imminent; out of the gate of the other courtyard, he grabbed Mo Ziling and said with a smile: "Ling'er doesn't need to have any worries, Yu Chen is my disciple, and he will follow me to practice martial arts, although he lives here, there is still some distance between the guest courtyard and the main courtyard; But when your senior brother comes back, he will make trouble with you again. ”

Mo Ziling replied with a light smile: "Master, I can save it." I also look forward to my brother's return, and my brother's travel knowledge is beyond my reach. After the words fell, Mo Zilan then spoke: "Mrs. Gongsun is too modest, how many people in the world don't know Brother Han Fang's knowledge? ”

"It's too late for me and the old man to be happy if you can come! It's late, go back. Gongsun Yue smiled and watched them get into the car and turn back to the courtyard.

On the way, Mo Zilan talked about Ji Yuchen again and admired him very much. Mo Ziling only smiled at his brother, and after a moment leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep. Mo Zilan dotingly looked at her sister's beautiful sleeping face, the corners of her mouth lifted lightly, and she sighed softly without knowing what to think.

In the days that followed, Mo Ziling still went to the master's mansion to practice as usual. It is rare to meet Ji Yuchen, and when he does, he will leave after a salute, but Mo Zilan often comes to visit, and it takes a few hours to talk. Gongsun Yue said that he would also ask Han Daolin for advice when he practiced martial arts, but he avoided Mo Ziling's cultivation time. Once, Mo Ziling saw him helping the farmers in the farmland near the courtyard, and realized that he was indeed proficient in many knowledge, but his heart to experience the suffering of the people Mo Ziling was to praise, no wonder his brother was talking about this person in her ear all day long.

If the days slip by, you don't realize that the end of the year has come. Mo Ziling went to the other courtyard more and more frequently, and while helping Gongsun Yue prepare New Year's items, she listened to her count her only son Han Dacheng's unfilial piety, and when she heard the happy place, she smiled. One day, Ji Yuchen passed by the dining room, and when he heard the hearty laughter of the master Gongsun Yue, he glanced back, and saw Mo Ziling squatting by the door of the dining room picking vegetables, and smiled at Gongsun Yue inside, what kind of color was that? The jade skin was faintly shiny in the sun, the corners of the lips were lightly raised, the small dimples on the cheeks were also flying, and a strand of hair was mischievously loosened along the delicate ears. After being stunned for a moment, Ji Yuchen walked forward along the stone road, his steps were a little messy, his heart shook like a drum, and after walking a few steps, he chuckled: it turned out that his smile was so beautiful!

Mo Ziling didn't know that the beautiful smile she occasionally showed with true feelings had been seen by Ji Yuchen, and she was still cold and polite when she saw him, but she didn't know why Ji Yuchen changed her silence in the past and would talk to herself for a few words, and once she couldn't help but raise her hand to tidy up the loose hair on her sideburns after practicing. I felt that this person was becoming more and more unpredictable, and I was more determined to stay away from this person. Ji Yuchen was inexplicable, and after several considerations, he asked Mo Zilan, and after hearing this, Zilan first glanced at him suspiciously, and then replied: "Ziling has always been like this, except for those close to him, he is cold to everyone, Brother Ji doesn't have to care." "It's good that Ji Yuchen didn't listen, but he became more and more depressed after hearing it.

Ten days before the New Year's Festival, Han Fang finally returned, and Mo Ziling accompanied Gongsun Yue to stand at the front door of the courtyard to greet him, and Ji Yuchen was also waiting on the side. Half an hour later, I saw a carriage coming, stopped in front of the courtyard gate, first a young boy in Tsing Yi with clear eyebrows came down, and then lifted the curtain, and walked down a person: Tsing Yi robe, covered with indigo, snow fox fur collar tightly wrapped around the shoulder, noble temperament, walking slowly, it was the Han Fang who was called "Snow Boy" at the time.

Walked up to Mo Ziling and stopped, looked down at her, raised his hand to pin a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Ah Ling, I'm back." "The voice is like flowing water. Ji Yuchen raised his eyebrows lightly on one side.

Without waiting for Mo Ziling to answer, Gongsun Yue's voice like a pearl falling on a jade plate sounded with a hint of anger: "Stinky boy, do you still have me in your eyes?"

Turning to Gongsun Yue's side, Han Fang took one of her arms and said with a smile: "Mother, you are such a peerless beauty, no matter who looks at it, only you can give birth to such a peerless son as me!"

Seeing Han Fang like this, Mo Zi Lingfang stroked his chest and was shocked: This is Han Fang!

Gongsun Yue smiled and twisted his son and introduced Han Fang and Ji Yuchen to meet each other, and then Han Fang walked to Mo Ziling's side, and walked into the courtyard side by side with her mother and Ji Yuchen, and said in a low voice: "Ling'er, I have collected a lot of good things for you, how can I thank my senior brother these days?"

"Senior brother, image! Mo Ziling made fun of Han Fang and quickly caught up with Gongsun Yue, and Han Fang chuckled behind her and chased after her······
