Chapter 271: Before Marriage
At this time in Yongzhou, the last autumn rain will be accompanied by a cold wind when the leaves on the persimmon trees will fall.
As soon as Hongyu came out of Zhu's room with the medicine bowl, she watched Mo Xue hurriedly walk in from the gate of the courtyard, and the four girls holding an oil-paper umbrella were a little unable to catch up behind. Hongyu hurriedly handed the medicine bowl in her hand to the little maid next to her, then picked up the oil-paper umbrella resting in the corridor and stretched it out, trotted over to Mo Xue and said, "It's raining, the road is slippery, the second girl should walk slowly." โ
"Is my mother feeling better today, have you drunk the medicine?" After Mo Xue was pulled by Hongyu, she had to slow down, then raised her face and asked worriedly.
"I drank the medicine just now, and I'm about to take a break." After Hongyu put Mo Xue up the steps, she handed the umbrella in her hand to the maid next to her, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully for Mo Xue, and said in a low voice, "The second girl cleaned up, if you let the wife know that the second girl came in the rain, wouldn't it be in vain to worry for a while." โ
As soon as Mo Xue heard this, she quickly pulled the clothes on her body and said, "I'm not drenched." โ
After Hongyu helped Mo Xue wipe her face, she took her hand and sighed a few times before saying, "It's good that it's not drenched, don't talk too long when the second girl goes in, the wife drinks the medicine, and she should be tired after a while." โ
Mo She nodded, turned around, and couldn't wait for the maid to lift the curtain, so she raised her hand first.
Hongdou stood up, looked at the back that was going inside, and sighed slightly in his heart. The second girl has not only raised a lot of height in the past two years, but as soon as the eldest girl left, the second girl also became a lot more sensible, that is, Mrs., this wind and cold came too suddenly, it has been more than half a month, and there has been no improvement, and I don't know when the eldest girl will come back.
"Mother." As soon as Mo Xue entered the back room, she immediately put away the worry and apprehension on her face, took the gift box in Siniu's hand and walked to Zhu's bedside, with a sweet smile on her little face, "I heard that my mother is not good, and Grandma Xie specially prepared some tonic medicine for my mother, so I must bring it back." โ
"How to take this, what a faux pas!" Zhu sat up from the bed with his body propped up, raised his hand to brush his hair, and then said with a slight frown.
Mo Xue put the gift box on the table, ran over to hold Zhu's hand and said: "It's not a precious medicine, it's actually the ingredients that grandma asked someone to buy a few days ago, but I didn't buy it. Don't get up, lie down and rest, I'm just coming to see my mother. โ
"Why are your hands so cold!" When Zhu heard this, his brows slowly relaxed, but after touching Mo Xue's hand, he remembered that it seemed to be raining today, so he hurriedly glanced at Mo Xue, "It's raining?" โ
"No, it's just that the wind is a little cold today, so hurry up and lie down." Mo Xue quickly shook her head and carefully retracted her hand.
"Go and let someone boil some ginger soup and send it" Zhu Shi ordered to the side, and then lay down on the pillow a little weakly, for fear that the child would be sick and let Mo Xue stand farther away, and then said, "You child, how old are you, you are still childlike, this cold day, it is raining again, and it is still raining, Lili is going to talk about you." โ
"Mother, I'm not in the rain, and the four girls are holding an umbrella for me."
"Oh, holding an umbrella, that's good......" As soon as Zhu leaned back on the bed, his eyelids slowly drooped, and his face showed a deep tiredness, "I don't know if Lili has an umbrella, that child is also a worrying person." โ
Mo Xue was very uneasy and leaned on the side of the bed and said: "Sister Hongdou is followed by me, when I see Sister Hongdou walking with my sister, I have prepared an umbrella." โ
"That's good." Zhu lowered his eyes, looked at the girl's well-behaved appearance, and wanted to touch her face, but as soon as he raised his hand, he remembered that he was still sick, so he put his hand away slightly, and then smiled reluctantly, "Okay, my mother wants to lie down for a while, you haven't told grandma when you come back, go to grandma's place to have a look, and be careful not to get drenched in the rain when you go out." โ
Mo Xue endured the worry in her heart, watched Zhu lie down, and then slowly retreated.
When will my sister come back, after Mo Xue walked out of the room, she looked at the rain flying outside, and her heart could not hide her anxiety.
"Second girl, don't cry, my wife will be fine." The fourth girl next to her looked at the mist in her eyes, and hurriedly whispered comfort, "If the old lady looks at the second girl crying for a while, she will feel sad." โ
"I didn't cry." Mo Xue shook her lips, swallowed back the tears that were about to fall, and then muttered, "I miss my sister, why hasn't my sister come back yet." โ
"The eldest girl must also miss the second girl, her wife and the old lady, maybe they will all be on the way back, maybe they will be home in a few days.
Mo Xue hung her face and didn't speak, she hoped that what Si Niu said was true, but in the past three months, Si Niu has said this no less than thirty times, and none of them have been accurate. Mother's illness is getting worse and worse, she is very afraid that her mother will be like her father, but she only dares to bury such worries in the bottom of her heart, for fear that if she reveals it, this worry will come true!
After a while, the two walked to Mrs. Mo's side, and just as they were about to enter, they heard Jia Hei's voice from inside: "Don't worry, old lady, the business in the store is still good, and when the owner leaves, everything is explained properly, and those words are just spread by people outside." โ
"That's fine, I'm just a little worried, so I asked you to come over and ask, Lili is not here for this time, how fortunate you are."
"Don't say that, old lady, it's all my business."
"Okay, then you can get busy."
"The old lady rests."
As soon as Jia Hei lifted the curtain and came out, he saw Mo Xue standing at the door, looking like he was waiting for him.
Looking at the little girl's expression that was obviously a little apprehensive and expectant, Jia Hei was slightly stunned and then smiled: "The second girl came back from school, it was raining, and it wasn't drenched." โ
Mo Xue shook her head, walked up to him and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Jia know when my sister will come back?" โ
Jia Hei sighed in his heart and said that what I want to know most now is this, but he said with a smile on his face: "According to the explanation of the eldest girl before leaving, she should be back in a month and a half, and it will not be more than the end of the year at the latest." โ
Mo Xue hummed a little disappointed, knowing that Shopkeeper Jia didn't know how to say this, and after thanking him, he walked into Old Lady Mo's room.
Jia Hei opened his umbrella, and on the way to the front yard, he looked up, looked at the silky autumn rain, and muttered: "The house leak happened to rain overnight, the owner, the owner, you have to come back quickly to make a decision, otherwise the workshop will not be able to bear it by relying on the second master alone, and if it goes on like this, the business of Yunshang Pavilion will also be dragged to death." โ
On the second day, Mo Xue took the thank you gift specially prepared by Mrs. Mo to Xie's house, and Mrs. Xie comforted her with a sigh for a while, knowing that she had always remembered the Zhu family in her heart, and she didn't stay long, and after a little conversation, she let people send it out.
Mo Xue had just left Xie Mansion, just when two carriages stopped at the door, Mo Xue was so worried that she didn't look too much, she was about to walk towards her carriage with her face down, but she only turned around and walked two steps, and a young man's voice came from behind her: "Xue'er." โ
Mo Xue turned her head, and then looked at Xie Tianyun, who was smiling and wearing a red robe, and jumped down from the carriage with a bright face: "When did you come over?" โ
"Just came over." Mo Xue glanced at Xie Tianyun a little listlessly, the academy has been getting along for more than a year, and the relationship between the two is much better than at the beginning. Before Mo Xue's words fell, another carriage came down with a young man dressed in a plain satin embroidered robe and a face like a crown of jade.
"I heard that your mother is sick, but is she better?" Xie Tianyun walked up to Mo Xue and said a word of concern.
"It's going to be fine." Mo Xue was silent for a while, and then said with a resolute face.
"Of course, of course, Xue'er is so well-behaved, Aunt Mo has been sick for too long." Xie Tianyun glanced at Mo Xue carefully, and then smiled. Xu is too worried about the relationship, Mo Xue didn't want to hear people say the word "sick", bit her lip, and said, "Well, I'll go back first." โ
She was about to turn around as she spoke, and Xie Tianyun was about to comfort her a few more words, but then Xie Gexian walked over and said, "Miss Mo should be back soon, don't worry too much." โ
Under the sky after the rain, the thin autumn sunlight fell on his plain robe, reflecting a faint soft light, lining his whole person more handsome and dusty. The adult man's calm temperament, calm smile, and elegant demeanor are best reflected in him.
Mo Xue was stunned, and reflexively wanted to ask for news from her sister, but when she opened her mouth, she suddenly remembered that she didn't know what to call the other party, so she couldn't help but stutter a little: "Xie, Xie ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Xie Tianyun looked at Mo Xue's little round face that slowly turned a little red, and smiled magnificently: "After all, you call the old lady grandma, just call me the sixth uncle with me." โ
is called Grandma Xie because of her grandmother's relationship, and the person in front of her, Mo Xue doesn't dare to kiss casually. After squirming for a while, I had to ask directly: "Do you know the news of my sister and when she will come back?" โ
Xie Gexian looked at the little girl's worried face and smiled faintly: "In two months at most, it will be time to come back." After he finished speaking, he patted Xie Tianyun on the shoulder, and then turned around and entered the Xie Mansion first.
Mo Xue saw that he had all entered, so he swallowed back the words of thanks, and Xie Tianyun next to her saw that she was still worried about a small face, and her pink face was not as white and red as before, and comforted: "What the sixth uncle said can't be wrong, if you can't rest assured, I will inquire for you after I go to Beijing with the sixth uncle this time." Most of the people who come back from the prairie will pass through Shangjing first, and I will send you a message back then. โ
Mo Xue raised her eyes in surprise: "Do you want to go to the capital?" โ
Xie Tianyun nodded: "The sixth uncle will get married at the beginning of next month, and Ming'er will have to go back to prepare, and today is to come and say goodbye." My father couldn't spare time, so I went over to congratulate him, and Mr. Qiao is also in the capital now, and I plan to visit again before the township test. Don't worry, I'll help you remember Sister Mo's affairs, if you have any difficulties at home, just tell my grandma, grandma likes you very much. โ
At about the same time, on the side of the Turkic royal court, Mo Li's family affairs were also moved to the table for discussion. 1
