The fat man and the thin man cleaned up everything on the stove and began to close the window, intending to lock the door and leave. Tang Mo took advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention, and was about to slip out of the kitchen, when a sound of small footsteps came from far and near, and Tang Mo had no choice but to retract half of his body that had just leaned out back behind the water tank.

"Yo, Mama Gao is here, the supper you have ordered is ready."

The fat man greeted him with a smile on his face, while the thin man was busy getting the supper, and Mama Gao glanced at the stove with a blank face.

"Well, tomorrow the old lady will come back, and the lady said to prepare more vegetarian food. Also, Miss Three, let's send it according to your share of food. ”

When Tang Mo heard this, he opened his mouth and secretly cursed silently. Although Li Qing'er is a concubine who is not favored, she is also the little master of Shangshu Mansion, and she even pressed the food standard for people to eat, and these people's hearts are too dark.

The fat man's face fluttered when he heard Mama Gao's words, and then immediately changed to a smiling face.

"The little one understands. Mama Gao rest assured, the little one will definitely listen to what you say. ”

Mama Gao raised her eyelids indifferently and nodded, picked up the food box that the thin man had brought and walked out.

"What do you see, it's so old that you can't even gnaw it, and you still look at it."

The fat man grinned and pushed the thin man who was staring straight at Mama Gao's back.

"What are you talking about, I just don't understand."

The thin man came back to his senses and replied curtly.

"I don't understand what I want, I grind with Ye Modao."

The fat man quipped at the thin man as he busily extinguished the fire in the stove.

"Didn't you say that a month ago, it was all Cui'er who sent supper to the master? Why didn't this girl disappear later? ”

"Maybe people give themselves to the master as a supper, and they still need to do this job?"

The fat man smiled wryly.

The thin man shook his head with a serious expression,

"Cui'er is not that kind of person. I inquired, in the past month, no one has seen Cui'er again, and then I secretly asked the wooden housekeeper, and the wooden housekeeper said that Cui'er had returned to her hometown. ”

"Hey, people won't go back to their hometown, what do you miss about."

The fat man sighed with some regret for the thin man.

The thin man still shook his head,

"You forgot that Cui'er and I fled from the flooded village together, where can we go back to our hometown!"

The fat man listened to the thin man's words and touched his greasy chin and nodded, his face showing puzzlement,

"Look at my memory, could it be that this Cui'er eloped with someone?"

"Nonsense, Cui'er is not such a person."

The thin man suddenly blushed and glared at the fat man with an angry face.

"Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense, then you say, why is your Cui'er missing."

The fat man patted the thin man on the shoulder, and the thin man lowered his head and said nothing.

"Don't think about it, maybe your Cui'er has done something for her master."

Despite how unreliable the fat man's words sounded, the thin man still wanted to believe that Cui'er's story had been told by him.

After the fat man and the others left the kitchen, Tang Mo stood up suddenly, only to find that his arms and legs were numb. So while gently patting his numb thighs, he secretly complained in his heart that it was not easy to steal a radish, and he had to squat and listen to a lot of nonsense.

Tang Mo bit the crispy radish in his mouth, and walked slowly towards his yard as if he were shopping on the street in the original world. While walking, he found that the entire Shangshu Mansion was quiet, there was no wedding atmosphere at all, let alone any colorful decorations, thinking that even Li Qing'er came back but didn't even prepare a wedding boudoir, Tang Mo sighed in his heart, does this Shangshu really don't even want face and lining?

After walking for a while, Tang Mo found that he was lost.

There are not only many courtyards of different sizes in this Shangshu Mansion, but also many long corridors that are intertwined and connected together, which are like a labyrinth. This made Tang Mo, who was already an idiot all the way, miserable, and had no choice but to rely on his own feelings to find his way back.

But even after eating the radish in his hand, he almost gnawed his fingers, and Tang Mo was still stupidly circling around the corridor.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of extremely light footsteps behind him. Tang Mo was shocked, and hurriedly found a nearby pillar to hide. The footsteps are getting closer, hey, isn't this Mama Gao? Tsk, this Master Li is also enough to eat, just after dinner, he has to rush to eat supper, nine times out of ten in this last life is a pig reincarnated.

Tang Mo thought as he leaned as far back as he could behind the pillars of the corridor, and saw Mama Gao hurriedly walking towards the left corner of the corridor with a food box. Tang Mo sniffed his nose and suddenly felt that something was wrong. It's strange, when Mama Gao left the kitchen just now, the food box was obviously filled with red date and lianzi soup, why is it now replaced with green vegetables, eggs, and white rice? Could it be that after Mama Gao sent supper to Master Li, she still had to deliver food to someone else? But when he left the kitchen just now, Tang Mo looked inside and out and couldn't see a green vegetable leaf, could it be that this Gao Mama was still very bold, and dared to open a small stove alone? I just don't know who she's going to deliver food to so secretly?

Tang Mo's curiosity was instantly aroused again, so he quietly followed behind Mama Gao to see what was going on. Mama Gao walked in such a hurry that she didn't notice a small tail behind her.

The two of them walked for about half a pillar of incense, and at this time they had reached the end of the corridor, and what caught Tang Mo's eyes was a large dense bamboo forest, and there was a sheep intestine path in the middle of the bamboo forest. Tang Mo followed Mama Gao quietly through the bamboo forest to a house. There were two subordinates guarding the door of the room, and Tang Mo couldn't follow, so he had to watch Mama Gao enter the house alone.

After about ten minutes, Mama Gao walked out with a food box, and Tang Mo thought about it and quietly followed behind Mama Gao again.

Li Jinnian sat on the Taishi chair in front of the hall and looked at Mo Jing, who was slowly approaching step by step, his brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of elusive expression crossed his face. For him, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, it is just a tool to help him climb up, but how to use this tool to give full play to its maximum use depends on his father's careful planning.

Marrying with the General's Mansion, this is something he didn't expect, but it's also something he didn't want. Originally, it was nothing to marry the ministers of the DPRK and China, anyway, he had many daughters, and in addition to his concubines, there were three concubines, so it would be okay to marry one casually. Although this kind of marriage is not very helpful for his career, it is just a matter of giving birth to a daughter, but the problem is that it is the prince of the General's Mansion who is married to him, the Shangshu Mansion, and others may not know the inside story, but it is impossible for the emperor not to know about it, but why do you insist on implicating him with Ji Zhongwei, an old thing? Could it be that the emperor already knows the secret?

No, it can't be, absolutely not.

Li Jinnian let out a sullen breath from his chest. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, no one knows what the emperor thinks in his heart? When he Li Jinnian regarded his daughters as a pawn in his green ascendancy, why didn't the emperor Lao Er treat these ministers as another pawn that he sacrificed in the struggle to stabilize the country?

"Greetings to my father and mother!"

Mo Jing knelt down and bowed to a blessing.

Li Jinnian didn't respond, although he was looking at the third daughter in front of him who he hadn't seen for ten years, he was thinking about the affairs of the DPRK and China in his mind. Mrs. Zhou glanced at her husband, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and then she coughed lightly, which pulled Li Jinnian's thoughts back.

Li Jinnian swept his eyes at Mo Jing, who was still kneeling on the ground, coughed dryly, and then said expressionlessly,

"Qing'er, your mother died early, and my father promised her before your mother died that when you are older, I must find you a good family. Now Ji Chunqing, the prince who married you to General Ji, can also comfort your mother under Jiuquan. ”

Do you want to talk nonsense with your eyes open like this? Marrying Chongxi, is it just the status of a concubine? This is what a man promised, a promise made to a woman who gave birth to a daughter for him?

Secretly came here with Mama Gao, and Tang Mo, who was eavesdropping on the corner of the outer wall of the hall at the moment, felt that Li Jinnian's thick skin was the first time she had seen it in the past sixteen years. If Li Qing'er was still alive, would he really be blind to his daughter's eyes? Is the heart pinched? Thrown in the ancestral hall for so many years, she didn't care, and now she pushed her daughter into the fire kang for her career, and she said without shame that it was to fulfill her deceased mother's last words, which simply refreshed Tang Mo's three views again.

"Thank you, father, the daughter is all up to her father."

Mo Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, endured the disgust and disgust in her heart at the moment with the same mood as Tang Mo, and replied weakly with a smile on her face.

Li Jinnian nodded, although he couldn't see a trace of joy on his face, he seemed to be very satisfied with Mo Jing's answer, so he turned his head to Zhou who was sitting next to him and said:

"Tell your subordinates to start gathering tomorrow and tomorrow."

After speaking, he didn't look at Li Qing'er anymore, turned around and entered the back hall.

Is this the rhythm of overtime? Tang Mo silently sighed for the subordinates of Shangshu Mansion, I don't know if there is overtime pay?

Seeing that the old man had returned to the back hall, Mrs. Zhou also stood up, and without sweeping the corner on Mo Jing's body, she slowly walked past Mo Jing, who was still kneeling on the ground. She has never been dismissive of concubines.

Kindness? That's it? Didn't the ancients like to talk too much? Tang Mo secretly covered his face for the dead Li Qing'er. I thought that I hadn't seen her for ten years, and it was understandable that my stepmother didn't speak, but at least this father was more or less asking for a while, who knew that it would be over with just a few words, which shows how unpopular this Miss Li Fusan is, this old man and Mrs. didn't even bother to say anything to reprimand her.

Seeing that the two main masters in the hall were gone, Tang Mo hurriedly ran into the hall and helped Mo Jing up, perhaps because he hadn't eaten yet, Mo Jing's face was a little pale and scary.

"Why are you here?"

Mo Jing stood up with a grin under Tang Mo's support, and those two legs were numb as if they were not her own.

"I stole the immortal peach from the heavenly court and came back, and you haven't even walked a few steps in this mortal world, I'm afraid that you will make a mistake, so I came here."

Facing Tang Mo's joke, a smile appeared on Mo Jing's pale face,

"How did I know that the lord and lady of this Shangshu Mansion were so fond of holding shelves, so they made me kneel on this cold bluestone slab for half an hour before they were willing to summon me. Alas, it seems that the third lady of the Li Mansion is really not good. ”
