Chapter Forty-Eight: The Quarrel in the Tea House
In the teahouse, Uncle Mo Nian held the teacup, lifted the lid, and after blowing the tea carefully, he took a sip: "Tsk, second brother, so you are eighty percent sure that you can sit in that seat?" ”
Mo Jili shook his head in the middle of the hall: "Eighty percent is more, in fact, my estimate is sixty percent!" ”
"Then what do you say about moving to the capital after a year, you must know that the General Administration is built in the capital, but from the old to the new, how can it be a one-brain move? If you can't get to that seat, I'm afraid someone will have to stay and clean up the mess! Mo Nian put down the tea as he spoke, leaning slightly towards the back of the chair.
"Big brother is right, but if I can't do that position, then it won't be my turn to stay and clean up the mess!" Mo Ji said as the man took two steps back and sat down in his chair.
At that moment, Mo Nian's brows furrowed, and he was speechless, and the old man Mo Yan at the top opened his mouth: "Ji Er is right, officialdom is like a boat, if you can't enter, you will definitely retreat, and you will never be able to stabilize this position, I am afraid that Ji Er will really not be able to fight, and the current position will be lost......"
"Dad is right, my son can only say that he will leave Jiang'an and go to Beijing in a year, and it is precisely because of this: if it becomes a good thing, if it doesn't work, whether it is Han Shouzheng or not, the winner will never want me to stay in the Caoyun family, which will affect their mastery of Caoyun, so whether I protect myself or seek progress, I must take another path to stabilize my future, then there is only one back road I can take, invest in Beijing!"
"Han Xiu has been fighting with you all these years, but if you think about it, you can understand that if your new set of laws is not used, I am afraid that you are the only one who belongs today, and the position of the governor will be his! Eh, Ji'er, you said that you voted for Beijing, are you planning to rely on this Liang Guogong line? The old man Mo Nian pinched the beard on his chin and asked.
Mo Ji nodded: "That's right, I originally had a friendship with Fu Shizi under the same emperor's family, and now that there is one more line of in-laws connected, and there is more protection, wouldn't the road be more stable?" ”
"But the younger brother and sister are just adopted daughters......" The eldest shook his head, obviously having no confidence in the so-called guarantee.
"Big brother should have heard the rumors, right?"
"You also said that it was a rumor, so it should be true, and it was just illegal, and it was not as good as ......."
"What if it's a concubine? I'm not going to share the property of the Liang family! What I want is for Liang Guogong to be my father-in-law! Mo Ji raised his head as he spoke: "No matter how close Fu Shizi is to me, he is the same door and classmate, I can't borrow his light, but I can borrow Liang Guogong!" Whether Yehuang is an adopted daughter or an illegitimate child, after all, Liang Guogong personally protects the media, so he and our Mo family will be in-laws from now on! ”
"There is still a lot of difference between sealing and not sealing......" the old man Mo Nian looked regretful.
"Father, if it is sealed, do you think your son can still marry her? Moreover, Liang Guogong has just broken with Wu Wangye, at this time he has cleared up right and wrong, but it is inevitable that he will be uneasy, and now he is sending his adopted daughter to be my successor, and he also wants to win me over and protect his bottom, this officialdom, either friends or enemies, I don't want to turn the friends sent to the door into enemies. ”
"Okay, according to the meaning of the second brother, that is, no matter what, you have reaped all the benefits by marrying her, right? So since you have a back road, that is, we don't have to worry about your career, right? Uncle Mo Nian raised his hand to speak at this time, Mo Ji nodded and said, "Yes" Then Mo Nian stared at Mo Ji and asked: "In this case, then put this topic down first, or go back to our previous topic......
"Big brother, I said this, in fact, to explain the previous matter, I, I think...... The matter of the night phoenix kneeling down to worship Shufen will be spared! Mo Ji just said it, and Tan, who had been sitting on the chair without saying a word, suddenly stood up with a glare: "What did you say?" ”
"Mother, my son doesn't want to disobey you, let alone disrespect the number of courtesies, but I have already said very clearly before, Liang Guogong is a family of I have a request, he has a plan, we are reciprocal, but no matter how high-ranking I am, I am only from the third grade, but I am a super official in the country, in the end, I lose others, right? Now even if Yehuang is not titled, his identity is a little vague and does not occupy the lineage, but in the end, it is the adopted daughter of Liang Guogong, Liang Guogong and I have told me several times, and its attitude of attention is only afraid that the private matter is true, if she is called to return to Shufen for an hour, I am afraid that the body and bones will not only be unbearable, but also uncomfortable, even if we do it with respect, but in case she is not happy, in the future, it will be said to Liang Guogong, I will not ...... Troubled? ”
Mo Ji said with a sincere face, and there was more obvious worry in his eyes, and he saw that Tan's mouth, which was about to get angry, twitched a few times, and finally sat back in the chair, tilting his head and complaining: "I'll just say, which of those high-ranking young ladies is not pampered?" Baba's marriage comes back, where will there be a daughter-in-law? Everyone is putting on a shelf to show their identity, and they can't wait to trample us underfoot, so I chose Shufen back then, and you weren't happy at that time! ”
"Mother, why are you talking about this again......" Mo Nian seemed to feel sorry for his younger brother, and whispered, but Tan raised his head and glared at him: "What's the matter?" Still unbelievable? Originally, he came to my eldest sister's house to borrow a few years, I knew that our family had inherited love, but in the end, it was the official eunuch's family, and he also learned the delicate nature of that body! I didn't ask him what he meant, and I named him Shufen, but since ancient times, which of these marriages has not been decided by his parents? Na Shufen got married, and she also served properly and diligently! The most important thing is that I only got married for two months and I had a letter! Do you dare to say that I didn't pick the right person? Although there was an accident at the production site, it still left an incense at home, didn't it? ”
When Tan said this, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Mo Nian: "It's better than your daughter-in-law, and you can get a man, but it's a pity that you went early, and you can't give birth to a few more to add Ding, you look at your daughter-in-law, these years, either there is no movement, or she is pregnant and gave birth to a girl, and now the two of the size are in your room, can you live on it?" Further back, one or two people are people, is your room empty? ”
Mo Nian lowered his head at this time and looked submissive, no longer the way he was before. At this time, the old man Mo Yan, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help it, he coughed and tried to remind Tan to stop, but Tan ignored Ben, so he coughed a few more times, and Tan's face immediately darkened: "What are you coughing up, I can't say it?" ”
"You ......" Mo Yan just said a word, and Mo Qing, who had been sitting in his lower hand, stood up: "Mother, I, I'll go back first......" After speaking, he turned around and ran out like flying, and Tan's hand only had time to make a holding posture in the air.
"You, when you talk about your son and daughter-in-law, you also think about your daughter, isn't she just as difficult now? You can't be considerate of ......" Mo Yan complained, and Tan slapped the table: "I understand? Did you understand me at the beginning? Your mother has been considerate of me? ”
As soon as Mo Yan heard this, his face changed, and he lowered his head and shrank to the side, but Tan began to cross his waist, as if he wanted to make a long accusation, Mo Ji immediately stretched out his hand at this time: "Okay, father, mother, don't talk about the past, now that Qingniang is also gone, big brother, you also said, let's not be entangled in this matter!" If you want me to say, the matter of Yehuang kneeling Shufen will be exempted, as long as she goes to the pillar to worship for a while, and the number of rituals is also full! ”
The Tan family took a deep breath, as if he had suppressed the fire, but the person looked at Mo Ji and said, "If you want me to answer this, you can also answer me!" ”
"Mother is talking ......"
"I'll have sex with your stepwife today!"
