Remember [Bayi Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.

When he said this, the tone was very casual, casual and casual. Bayi Chinese Network

There was a plum tree in Xie Gexian's house, and when he moved here last year, it was not blooming, and he thought it was dead, but he didn't let people cut it down. In the spring and summer of this year, after being taken care of from time to time, this old plum tree also grew a few leaves, but it still looked half-dead, and there was not much life. But I don't want to, this year's winter after the heavy snow in the past few days, suddenly bloomed a plum tree, a tree of red plums blooming in the snow.

At this time, Xie Gexian was standing under this plum tree, with white fur and black hair, and his expression was indifferent.

The wind blew, shaking off the snow particles on the plum blossoms and drifting them onto the two of them, and suddenly the fragrance of plum blossoms came to their faces. Xie Gexian suddenly raised his hand, folded off the nearest plum blossom, and held it in his hand to watch and play.

"Congratulations, sir." After Mo Li was slightly surprised, he opened his mouth to congratulate, and then quietly glanced at the man in front of him. He suddenly told her this kind of thing, and although it was not rude, it always felt a little weird. If you are a young person of sixteen or seventeen, you may be excited and want to share such a life event with your friends, so it is normal for you to be tempted to say it in private. But she and Xie Gexian, although he sometimes chatted with her after the last time he told her about the old past in the teahouse, but they were all innocuous words, and compared to friends, there seemed to be something missing.

Xie Gexian just hummed, his expression was still faint, and he didn't see the slightest joy on his face, and he didn't even have any expectations.

Mo Li hesitated for a while, it was enough for her to congratulate her on such things, if she cared too much, it would make her look abrupt, so she was hesitating whether to ask him at this time about the silk line, what is the attitude of the government, and whether Lord Li's murder case has been closed. Ah Shengke is still suspicious.

But at this moment, Xie Gexian looked at the plum blossom tree. Suddenly, he said: "It's a pity that it's not night, there is no moonlight, and there is no wine to drink." ”

Mo Li was stunned for a moment, Xie Gexian slowly turned the plum blossom in his hand, and whispered two sentences in his mouth: "Creation may be intentional, so teach the bright moon exquisitely." A total bounty of gold and green ants, don't be drunk, this flower is not compared with the flowers. ”

Mo Li is literate and has also learned several poems. But not at it. And she is not the kind of talented woman who can recite poems with her mouth open, and she can't just read one or two lines of poetry casually by others, and she can immediately know where it came from and whose work it is. And what kind of state of mind does the poet want to use this poem to symbolize? Finally. She is not a girl carefully raised by a big family, and now all the things she is good at are what she has in exchange for her own life. There is no romance of wind and snow, only the reality of survival.

No matter how it was before, now and in the future, she and him will not be a person of the same class.

Under a red plum tree, the noble son with a face like a crown of jade is dressed in a white fur. The wind blew, and a few petals slowly fell to his shoulder.

If you don't know who he is. Seeing this scene, I am afraid that everyone will think that the man in front of him must be a noble son who does not touch vulgar things.

After Xie Gexian finished reading the half of the words, he handed the red plum in his hand to Mo Li: "I didn't expect that such a plum tree on the verge of dying could bloom in the snow, and the plum blossoms of this tree can match you." ”

……

Before saying goodbye and leaving, Xie Gexian revealed a few words to her. In addition to the matters related to taxes and silver, he also found out several cases of bribery, because it involved many officials, so it was kept secret for the time being, and only brought the evidence to Shangjing, and someone would decide; As for Lord Li's murder, he only asked her to wait patiently, if the bribery in the silk line can be properly resolved, then Ah Sheng will naturally not have any bad suspicions.

At noon on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Xie Gexian set off to leave Yongzhou. Bayi Chinese Network

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Mo Li took the New Year's gift, led Mo Xue, and went to the Xie family to visit Mrs. Xie with Mrs. Mo.

"Come here, come here, why do you still bring such a thick gift." After inviting the three of them to sit down in the hall, Mrs. Xie called Mo Xue over, squeezing her fleshy little hand while smiling at Mo Li.

Mo Li said modestly: "Xue'er has often been taken care of by you for most of the past six months, this is just a little heart. ”

"For most of the past six months, Xue'er has come to accompany me from time to time, which has given me a lot of fun." As she spoke, Mrs. Xie took a look at Mo Xue'er's dress today, and then said, "This girl is better than last year, look at this eyebrows, they are gradually opening, she is almost eight years old." ”

Old Madam Mo nodded and said, "It's her birthday in January, and she will be eight years old after the New Year." ”

"Oh, blessed are the daughters born in January." Mrs. Xie smiled, and then asked, "What month was Lili born?" ”

"She's the fourth day of April." Old Mrs. Mo smiled lightly, but there was a bit of gloom in her eyes, after this year, she was almost eighteen, and if she was a virtual age, she would be nineteen. If Mo Liujin's filial piety expires, it will be a little embarrassing for her granddaughter's age to say it.

Mrs. Xie looked at Mrs. Mo's expression and understood what she was worried about, so she smiled: "April is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, and it is also excellent. ”

Mo Li knew that the two old sisters must want to say something considerate, so she called Mo Xue to her side, then stood up and said, "I heard that the third grandmother gave birth to a little master last month, and it just so happened that I also prepared a congratulatory gift today, and I want to go over and take a look." ”

"Then you go, she just happened to be out of confinement." Old Lady Xie nodded, and Mo Li owed a debt with Xue'er before going out.

As soon as the brocade curtain was lowered, Mrs. Xie sighed to Mrs. Mo: "This child is getting more and more out, but it's a pity that we didn't have the fate of being in-laws." ”

"It's that she's not that blessed." Mrs. Mo also sighed, "Since her father left, this girl's temperament has become stronger and stronger, knowing that she has a heavy burden, although I am anxious, I don't dare to tell her, so I will talk to my daughter-in-law on weekdays." ”

"A girl's family has to take care of so many things, don't be strong." Old Mrs. Xie nodded in understanding, and then said, "Originally, I thought that Lili still had filial piety on her body, so I was not in a hurry. I was going to ask you about the two children I mentioned to you before at the end of the year, but I didn't know that Yuan Bai had already been connected by someone else to protect him. ”

I really didn't think that Mrs. Xie was still thinking about this, and after Mrs. Mo was surprised, she also felt pity in her heart, but she still smiled on her face: "That's a good thing." Lili is not blessed in the end. ”

At the same time, Mo Li's side. As soon as he walked to the gate of Grandma Xie San's yard, he saw Xie Tianyun coming out of it, suddenly looked at them, and immediately walked over with a smile: "How can Sister Mo come here today, Sister Xue'er is also here." ”

He was now fourteen years old, much longer than he had been a little over a year ago, and now Cher could barely reach his chest. A young man like a jade tree in Zhilan, with a clean face and a sunny smile. Only after this period of voice change, this is another merry and noble son.

Mo Li looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I heard that the Eighth Young Master has an extra little brother, so it's not time to congratulate the Eighth Young Master." ”

Xie Tianyun smiled: "Thank you, Sister Mo." It's just that Sister Mo is always so polite as me. Call me Brother Yun is not as good as that Eighth Young Master, Xue'er said yes. ”

Mo Xue only stood there and smiled, although she had also grown taller. But the round face still has baby fat, and with that pair of round eyes, it flickers and flickers, making people want to reach over and pinch and knead it.

Mo Li smiled, thinking about the future of this young man, so he changed his name according to his meaning: "I heard that Brother Yun is going to participate in the township test next year." ”

Xie Tianyun withdrew his gaze from Mo Xue's pink face. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, Mr. thinks I'll give it a try sooner." It is also beneficial and harmless. ”

Mo Li said: "Brother Yun is so smart and studious, he will definitely be able to go all the way to high school." ”

Xie Tianyun smiled generously: "Hehe...... Then thank you Sister Mo Jiyan! It's just that if I can't pass the township test next year, won't I have the face to see Sister Mo, even if I can't raise my face in front of Xue'er. ”

"Brother Yun is humble." Mo Li smiled faintly, then glanced at the courtyard, and asked, "I don't know that Grandma Xie San can easily meet guests at this moment, if it is inconvenient, please trouble Brother Yun to send my congratulatory gift in." ”

"It's convenient, mother, she has been up for a while, and she is looking at her younger brother, it is my rudeness, and she has been standing here talking."

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after returning from the worship in the clan, after taking advantage of the fact that Mrs. Mo and Mo Xue couldn't bear the sleepiness and went back to rest, the Zhu family called Mo Li to her house and carefully mentioned Ah Sheng's matter.

"Mother knows that you have an idea, but this is a big deal, you have to give your mother an explanation, what did he tell you before leaving? This year has passed again, you are now eighteen, the old lady is trying to let me see whose child is good, whether I have any intentions, hurry up and think about this matter, I can't wait until your filial piety period has passed, and then start to prepare. Lili, the woman's youth is very short, she can't wait too long, and the old lady is also old. ”

Mo Li lowered his eyes: "It's only been a few months, so I have to wait for the New Year to say no, and he's so far away from Yongzhou." ”

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, when Zhu Shi saw Mo Li's expression, he faintly felt that things were not so simple, so he became more and more uneasy: "Is it that he doesn't plan to come back at all!" Or did he not and had no intention of getting involved? ”

"No......" Mo Li raised her eyes and smiled helplessly, "Mother, don't worry, I think it's almost summer time to receive the news." ”

Zhu looked at Mo Li for a while, and then sighed lightly: "Lili, my mother thinks, in fact, you don't have to recruit a son-in-law." The mulberry garden in Dongzhuang, whether the clan wants to take it back or continue to rent it, let it be, now the business in our store is good enough, there is no need to add icing on the cake. ”

Mo Li shook his head: "Mother, I still have any serious good family who dares to marry, if there are really people who are willing to marry, most of them are under the idea of dowry." And if I really get married, who will take care of the business in the future? Won't you walk back to the same situation as when your father just left? ”

Zhu was stunned, she hadn't thought about this, Mo Li continued: "Mother, let others come in and let us take care of it, it's better than us going to circle others in the past!" ”

"You kid, you're talking nonsense, what's in the circle!"

"Isn't it?"

After the Zhu family rested, Mo Li returned to the East Chamber, today is the first day of the new year, and visiting relatives and friends will start tomorrow. After she went to bed and lay down, Hongdou and the others were also busy.

As soon as the maids withdrew, the room fell silent, except for the occasional sound of firecrackers in the distance.

After lying down for a while and not falling asleep, she touched her neck, pulled out a rope, and took out the wolf tooth that was warmed by her body temperature, and then held it in her hand while thinking about things.

……

The New Year is a unified holiday.

While Yongzhou is lively, the prairie in the north is not deserted, and it is a little more restless than the excitement in Yongzhou.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, in the upper reaches of the Yenisei Holy River, in the Gor grassland, in the big tent of the patriarch of the Qiyan tribe, more than a dozen elders were discussing one thing with solemn expressions, a matter related to Ah Sheng. One thing, whether Ah Sheng can stay in the Qiyan tribe for a long time, and continue to increase the prestige and cohesion of the Qiyan tribe on the grassland.

The wolf is a sacred relic on the grassland, even if there are many tribes on the grassland, each tribe has its own totem, but the wolf is worshiped by all the grassland people. Fifteen years ago, after a shepherd girl who went out to graze on the shore of the Holy River accidentally met the child sent by the silver wolf, the prestige of the Qiyan tribe has risen at a visible rate for seven years, and even faintly overshadowed the Turkic Ashina clan. The Turks are the most powerful people in the steppe, with a population of more than one million and more than 200,000 powerful wolf riders, while Ashina is a noble surname among the Turks. Therefore, even if Ah Sheng was found out first by the people of the Qiyan Department, and gave Ah Sheng the surname of Qiyan in time. But the Turks still say that Ah Sheng is their clansman, and even if he is crowned with a beggar surname, he cannot change it, because the Turks have always claimed to be the descendants of wolves. Therefore, since Ah Sheng is a child given by the holy wolf, he should naturally belong to their tribe.

One can fight on a horse, and he can kill the enemy with a sword, and when he was only a teenager, he led 3,000 men and horses to destroy a tribe of tens of thousands of people. And in the next two years, there were even more successes, and more and more people fell under his sword, so that, coupled with his extremely symbolic origin, and the figure of the holy wolf that appeared beside him from time to time. It is conceivable what kind of appeal it will have to leave such a person in the tribe, not to mention that now the Turks have decided to attack Mingshan, intending to completely open up the road to the Wusun country.

And if the place of Mingshan is really occupied by the Turks, then the grassland will really be dominated by the Ashina family in the future.

After enumerating the names of five or six girls, sit away from the patriarch and beg for faces. One of Aruwei's nearest elders spoke: "Naren is the most suitable age, and she has also been in contact with Ah Sheng, and Ah Sheng still remembers her, and the rest of them, Ah Sheng has never seen them before. ”

Someone immediately objected: "But Naren has already made a deal with Barr, so ......"

The elder said, "I will go to Bal's house myself." ”

On the other side, there was a human: "This is indeed a grievance to Barr, and afterwards, my three nieces can choose whatever he wants." ”

At this time, Aruwe on the main seat suddenly spoke: "The Bal family is not a problem, the problem is Ah Sheng, have any of you told him this?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, you look at me, I look at you.

After a long time, the elder who had just recommended Naren said, "Since Bayan is waiting for him to come back, let Bayan tell him about going." ”

……

Last night, he drank seven or eight jars of mare's milk wine with a dozen or so men, and Ah Sheng did not collapse until the second half of the night, so he continued to sleep until the meeting in the patriarch's tent was over. When Bayan entered his tent, he moved his head, opened his eyes slightly, looked at it, and then closed it again.

Bayan smiled, walked to his bedside and sat down, and was about to open his mouth to let him get up, but suddenly saw a corner of his handkerchief that was incompatible with his whole person, so he reached out curiously to it.

But as soon as he pulled out half of the handkerchief, Ah Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his wrist.
