After spending a little money on sesame oil, and after asking for a peace charm that opened the light as she wished, Mrs. Mo asked Mo Li to shake the stick. The incense in the hall was curling, Mo Li pondered for a while, raised his face, indifferently looked directly at the Buddha statue on the seat, and said in his heart: What I will face, the Buddha can not do anything.

Seeing that her granddaughter had just picked up the holder and put it down, Mrs. Mo asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Li turned his head and smiled: "Grandma, let's not ask for this, grandpa only asked me to come over yesterday and ask for a peace charm." ”

"What's the matter, since you're here, it's okay to ask for a signature."

"Grandma, I just have that peace charm, it's rare for grandpa to dream once, let's just rely on grandpa." Mo Li stood up as she spoke, grabbed Old Lady Mo's arm and said coquettishly.

"You girl, you're going to move out of your grandfather to block me!" Mrs. Mo only said that her granddaughter was still worried about the Yang family, and she was afraid that she would not be able to sign it, so she did not force her, but she was thinking in her heart that she would find a time in the future, and she came over alone to say hello to her granddaughter. When Mo Li took Mrs. Mo's arm and went out, she looked back at the hall again, her eyes were indifferent, she was a person who crawled out of hell, how could she be afraid of the quality of a lot. She just didn't want her grandmother and mother to worry about that piece of wood and paper.

After going out of the hall, I chatted with Mrs. Xie for a while in the small courtyard of the temple, and the two old men got together, so they had to ask how the other party's children and grandchildren were doing. When Mrs. Xie knew that Mo Li had already decided on someone's house, she sighed with pity, and then smiled and said that there are a few children in her grandchildren who are suitable for age and appearance. Old Mrs. Mo just smiled, knowing that this was a kind word, and the threshold of the Xie family was much higher than that of the Yang family. In the end, the two old ladies set a time for the next meeting, and then reluctantly sat in their respective carriages to say goodbye.

Today's trip finally achieved its goal, Mo Li sat in his car, leaning on the shaking trunk, lowering his eyes, looking at the peace charm in his hand, and slowly thinking about the next thing in his heart.

The Xie family's background is deeper than that of the Yang family, and a year after she married Han Sidao, Han Sidao prepared everything, including secretly inquiring about the relationship between her grandmother and Mrs. Xie, including inquiring about where Mrs. Xie was going on weekdays. Then he signaled her to go back to her parents' house and take Mrs. Mo to Guanghua Temple to offer incense, so that she could use the relationship between the two old ladies to get in touch with the Xie family, and thus smoothly enter the circle of those official ladies to pave the way for him.

Later, she learned that in fact, Han Sidao had already been in a relationship with the Xie family in private, including the Yang family, all within the scope of that man's involvement. Many things are now clear when she thinks about them, but in fact, the answers were in front of her a long time ago, and she never wanted to open them because she believed him.

Now that she is more than a year ahead of schedule, and Han Sidao's side, I don't know what kind of friendship she has with the young masters and officials of the Xie family, and what kind of situation will it be in the future? How strong will fate stand in front of her? When Mo Li was lowering her eyes and pondering, Mrs. Mo patted her hand and said, "Why is it still in your hand, why don't you put it away quickly, this is the light, you can't be sloppy!" ”

Mo Li came back to his senses, raised his eyes and smiled, took out his purse and carefully put away the peace charm, and then asked: "By the way, grandma is going to Xie's house for the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, can you think about what gifts to prepare?" ”

Old Madam Mo shook her head lightly: "Just thinking about this, it is said that with my friendship with her, it doesn't matter what the etiquette is, it will always mean it." It's just that now this Xie Mansion is not a casual place, the threshold is high, I'm afraid that there are a lot of people who have celebrated their birthdays in the past, and they were also excited just now. ”

"What does Grandma think, you are going to see your old sister, and what those many people do. Besides, Grandma Xie knows that our family is not a wealthy family, and she invited her grandmother over not to stare at the congratulatory gift, not to catch up with her grandmother. When we go back, we will pick two good materials in the shop, just wait for the light crepe, and we don't have to think about it, so it's not unusual for people to see anything. ”

Old Madam Mo smiled: "You look a lot more enlightened now, and you still have a set of words." ”

Mo Li pursed her lips and smiled: "Then grandma thinks what I said is reasonable?" ”

"In reason, my glass is becoming more and more empathetic." Old Mrs. Mo smiled and patted her hands, but she scolded the Yang family thousands of times in her heart, her such a good granddaughter was so disgusted by them, if they hadn't dragged the child to this age, she would not be afraid to quit this family. Mrs. Mo thought about it and sighed again in her heart, now that her granddaughters are sixteen, if she is really divorced, she may be told by outsiders, and it will not be easy to find a good in-law again......

At this moment, Mo Li was thinking about another thing, the matter of going to Xie's house the day after tomorrow had been decided, and now she still needed to go to another place to be alone, so that the drama of the day after tomorrow would be easy to play.

After the carriage stopped at the corner gate, Mo Li helped Mrs. Mo get out of the car, but when she was about to step into the corner gate, she suddenly turned back and glanced at Ah Sheng. Ah Sheng was driving the carriage to the alley, noticing her gaze, and then turned to her and raised his eyebrows inquiringly. Mo Li didn't say anything, only stopped his gaze on his face, then slowly retracted, and quietly helped Old Lady Mo in.

At this time, Mo Liujin had already gone out, and Han Sidao naturally left. Mo Li accompanied Mrs. Mo to pick out two blue and sky-colored crepes in her own warehouse, looked at the unsalable fabrics, asked a few words to the guys in the warehouse, and then went back to the backyard with Mrs. Mo. As soon as the Zhu family heard that they were back, they hurriedly rushed to Mrs. Mo to inquire, and when they heard that they were still in the temple and met the grandmother of the Xie family, they were surprised for a while: "It turns out that Mrs. Xie has lived here in Yongzhou, I remember that she came a few times when Lili was just born, but then she returned to Qingning County." ”

Mrs. Mo smiled: "Her human nature is twisted, and she was born in a landlord's family, not a famous lady, and she was also taken to live here for a while, and it is estimated that she is not used to the style of the high-ranking family, so she went back." Now that the people above her are gone, she is the highest in the Xie Mansion, and the sons and grandsons under her knees are also promising, so this time it is naturally different from before. ”

The three women, the old, middle and young, said that it was time for lunch after a while, and when Mo Li was about to ask why she didn't see Mo Xue, she watched Xue Lin lead Mo Xue in from outside.

"I taught Xue'er to draw two pictures, and the old lady and cousin came back." As soon as Xue Lin entered the room, she smiled at Old Lady Mo, and then said with concern, "Does the old lady feel tired today?" I've just stewed you a cup of pear soup with rock sugar, which should have cooled, and I'll bring it to you. ”

"The pear is cold, grandma is old, I'm afraid I can't stand it, and it's not good if I drink it in case I get sick at night." Mo Li looked at Xue Lin and smiled, then turned to Mrs. Mo and said, "It just so happens that my throat is a little itchy, why don't you cheapen me with that cup of pear water, grandma said it's okay?" ”

"It turned out that you girl was greedy, but she said that I couldn't eat it, and this heart made it." Old Mrs. Mo scolded her with a smile, then forgot about Xue Lin's side, and followed the Zhu family out to let people pass the meal. Mo Li called Mo Xue to her side again, but she didn't ask what she had painted, only asked her if she had memorized the ten words she taught yesterday. Xue Lin stood aside a little embarrassed, and was about to interject, but then Zhu led the maid to bring the food in, and she had to stop talking again.

After the meal, after Mo Li came out of the old lady, Xue Lin followed her and said with a flattering smile: "I didn't see my cousin drink that pear soup just now, didn't I say that my throat was uncomfortable?" ”

Mo Li said lightly: "I ate too much for lunch, I let the red beans take it to my house and put it, and I will drink it when I get up in the afternoon, thank you very much." ”

"Cousin is too polite, if cousin likes it, I will often make it for you in the future. And seeing that my cousin's complexion is better today than yesterday, I am really relieved. Xue Lin seemed to be very happy, and laughed as she spoke, with a girl's unique coquettishness on her face.

Mo Li glanced at her, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Speaking of which, I really have something I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Xue Lin asked immediately.

"I have a half-made purse, I wanted to embroider a white cat, but my embroidery work is not good enough, I haven't started for a long time, if you are free, can you help me?"

"What's wrong with that, although my embroidery is not very good, but embroidering a cat is okay."

"Thank you so much, let me get it." Mo Li smiled and led Xue Lin to his house.

Not long after, Xue Lin walked out with Mo Li's half-finished purse and said, "I'll start the construction now, and it is estimated that I will be able to embroider my cousin in three or four days." ”

"There's no hurry, you take your time." Mo Li sent her out with a smile, watched her go back to the West Chamber before turning back into the house, and then called Hongdou over and whispered a few words. When Hongdou heard this, his face was surprised, and he hurriedly said: "Girl, how can this be made, if the old lady knows, she will have it!" ”
