Chapter 37: The Rumors
Ling Xiao understands that if Mo Chang has affection for himself, it is more or less worth it, even if it is coarse tea and light rice in the future, it can be regarded as a destination.
It's enough to see him like this.
Even if he became it with the help of Qin Xian, his suppressed hatred for Liguo would inevitably not be vented on himself.
He is good and he is bad, and he has no hope of his own.
Ling Xiao had to make up his mind, at the very least, to find a way to return to Datong.
Thinking so, she bumped into Cuizhu in the yard.
Cuizhu scolded her in a low voice, "What do you want! Go to sleep. Don't be cranky all day. ”
Ling Xiao said "um", didn't look back, walked back to his room, and made up his mind.
Early the next morning, Mo Chang was well educated, and he got up early for many years, and Cuizhu and Ling Xiao also got up to serve. Hou Cong Changkong naturally didn't sleep lazy, got up and washed up, Qingsong urged him to eat, said hello to Mo Chang and went to the princess's side.
People are people who have something to do.
Cuizhu also joked with Qingsong, "Your Hui Niang doesn't cook for you, she is in charge of cooking for Captain Dugu." ”
Qing Song turned around and made a gesture to him, but he didn't really have time to joke, and followed his master.
The side courtyard has become a small world for the three masters and servants of Mo Chang.
Mo Chang said that he had breakfast, and he had to practice calligraphy after breakfast, so the two of them could just take care of themselves, and after speaking, he went back to the room.
Ling Xiao smiled and told Cuizhu, "I don't have anything else to do, I want to do some needlework while I'm idle." I'll see if I can get out. ”
"Enough." Cuizhu said.
"There's no clear order." Ling Xiao said a word, walked back to his room, cleaned up, took the broken silver, and when he came out, Cuizhu was still in the yard looking at the flowers.
"Really go out? Am I with you? ”
"No need, in case His Highness calls."
"Long enough? You don't know each other here, be careful of being stolen with a sack. ”
Ling Xiao ignored him and walked out of the courtyard by himself.
Cuizhu looked at her and pursed her lips. He doesn't need to be tracked at all. Whether you can get out or not is first of all a question. But she actually took it upon herself to go out, and that's the key.
In the room, Mo Chang took the porridge for breakfast to find Bai Yi. The two of them took a few sips face to face, and also commented on the day's heat. Mo Chang found that they got along like this, calm and happy.
If only it could be like this forever.
Bai Yi told Mo Chang that she was looking for the Queen Mother, and yesterday, she only saw Mo Hui.
Mo Chang didn't comment much on the matter of "looking for the Queen Mother", anyway, Bai Yi did things for himself, he felt that it was sweet, and he understood that he couldn't stop it. So, just as an elder, I asked about the latter matter, "How tall has Hui'er grown?" ”
The white-clothed hand measured the comparison at his side. "It looks a bit like His Highness."
"Yes, his father was like me."
Bai Yi tilted his head, "Then are you all like grandfathers, or grandmothers?" ”
This made Mo Chang return to his childhood, the golden time when everything could be described as "happy". "It's all like that." He said.
Then, he sighed.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yi asked.
"When I left, Hui'er was still young, but she was three years old. He has a simple temperament, and at such a young age, he is about to be swept into the whirlpool. “
"How?" Bai Yi asked again.
Mo Chang said that Mo Hui's mother was a gentleman among women, not only soft-looking, but also had poetry and books in her belly, and was kind-hearted. However, the background is not high, they are average, but they have been scholars for generations. It was because of his talent that he was chosen to be Mo Rong's roommate, and after giving birth to Mo Hui, he has been very quiet and low-key. Now, Mo Rong has ascended the throne, and I have never heard of giving her a position. Back then, because Mo Rong had not yet officially married his wife, Mo Hui did not have his mother's education, so most of them were raised in the palace.
"That's right," Bai Yi said truthfully, "If Mo Rong makes the daughters of other high-ranking families as queens, it is a big question whether people will regard him as their own." After someone has a son-in-law, it's good that he is not made a prince now, but if he is made a prince, it will be a thorn in someone's eye. What's more, this Mo Rong's throne is also unstable, if you sit on the dragon chair, what will you do to him? ”
Mo Chang did not answer these questions. Because he didn't want to deceive the white clothes. What's more, assuming that he can regain the throne, he hopes that Bai Yi will be by his side.
"You are active in the palace, be careful, and find the queen mother, but second."
He changed the subject. Then, I packed up the dishes and went back to my room. I met the little eunuch who was blocking the princess's mansion outside.
"I'm sorry, but our Highness is writing big letters."
"It's nothing. Brother tell me, tonight is in the Slender Waist Lake, it's set. ”
After the little eunuch finished speaking, he left.
Cuizhu didn't enter the hall either. His attention was elsewhere. He found that Ling Xiao came back soon, and said, "Sure enough, people won't let any of us out," and entered his room in frustration. Cuizhu stayed in the side courtyard for a while, and then went out to take a walk around the princess's mansion, mainly to inquire about one thing, did Ling Xiao really not go out?
The man at the door accepted Cuizhu's silver and opened his mouth, "Naturally, you can't go out." However, it is not a big deal for Miss Ling Xiao to buy needles and threads. We asked her to find an errand boy at the door. ”
So persistent in order to buy a needle and thread? Don't you see that she likes to do needlework?
Because of the river, the street layout is narrower, and it is not as open and neat as the big tree. The princess's mansion is not far from the market, but the gate is still clean, and idle people can't stay arbitrarily. The person on the door didn't feel that Cuizhu was "running away" again, so he let him go out for more than a dozen steps to look around.
Cuizhu found that on the street in the southeast direction, there were children walking around running errands.
The man at the door said, "You girl didn't run that far!" ”
Cuizhu laughed with her, but she didn't come back, but walked to the group of children who were running errands, and asked if Ling Xiao had been here, what did they do?
An eleven or twelve-year-old boy said, "That girl of yours wants to know where the envoy of the kingdom lives." ”
"Deliver a word or something?"
"None of them. Inquire first. ”
Cuizhu gave the silver and instructed those people to treat it as if they had never seen her, not to mention it like "that girl", and not to mention it to the person who ran errands for her. The other party agreed. Cuizhu thanked the master and returned to the side courtyard. Just then, Mo Chang opened the door and let Cuizhu in.
After a while, Cuizhu came out and asked Ling Xiao to go in.
The sound of the summer wind blows through the eaves and courtyards. Mo Chang had already heard Cuizhu say what had just happened. He didn't ask anything, but he made up his mind.
"In the evening, I went to the Slender Waist Lake for a banquet, but you didn't dare to say it or not. You have to listen to the arrangement of Yuwen Gongzi. ”
