Chapter 189: There has been no heir
Mo Li raised his eyes and looked at the eldest princess, as if asking her opinion.
The eldest princess still had a face that no one could approach, and there was even a little impatience in her eyes, but she nodded slightly.
After getting permission, Mo Li lightly hit the brocade box, only to see that inside was a pair of purple and green Ruyi more than three inches long and finely carved.
Purple emerald is rare, such a large emerald material is even rarer, and the most rare thing is that this Ruyi is still a pair.
Everyone present showed envious eyes, and the eldest princess was really generous.
After Mrs. Huang saw it, she smiled and said: "We don't have any good things in our small family, so don't dislike it if you send a gadget to Jinxi." ”
Before the words fell, he took a white hosta from the maid behind him and inserted it into Mo Li's bun.
The hairpin looks ordinary, but the hairpin head is hollowed out, and inside is a small gold ball, with the movement of the hairpin, the small gold ball will also dangle in it, looking very smart.
Not to be outdone, Old Madam Sun directly pulled Mo Li to her side, took off a gold silk jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on for her: "If you are tired from standing, sit down and rest." ”
The girl beside her quickly moved her seat and gave up her place to Mo Li. Duan was also beckoned by Madame Huang to sit among the women.
Mo Li thanked him, sat down, and didn't forget to nod to the girl next to him.
The girl looked like she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, her little face was pink and tender, there was a shallow little pear nest on each side of her face, a pair of big eyes stared at Mo Li curiously, and she lowered her voice and said, "My name is Sun Xiaoxue, are you the Miss Mo who is going to marry General Murong?" ”
didn't wait for Mo Li to answer, only to hear Mrs. Sun say angrily: "Xue'er, don't be rude." Jinxi, this is my little granddaughter, she has been naughty since she was a child, don't you mind. ”
"No, it's cute to smile." Mo Li smiled lightly.
It's the first time Sun Xiaoxue has heard someone call her "Xiaoxiao", but she likes this name very much.
Tea and snacks were served again, and everyone began to chat again.
Taking advantage of everyone's words, Mo Li quietly approached Sun Xiaoxue and said, "My name is Mo Jinxi, and I am the person you said." ”
Sun Xiaoxue got Mo Li's response, smiled happily, and the little pear nest on her face was deeper: "I knew Sister Jinxi before, and I finally met it today." ”
Mo Li had already heard his younger brother say that Murong Chu's deputy general, Sun Han, was the second son of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, but he still asked, "How can Xiaoxiao know about me?" ”
"Listen to my second brother." Sun Xiaoxue attached herself to Mo Li's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
This little girl has a bold personality, but the real Sun Han is a little similar, and Mo Li can't help but have a good impression of her.
Old Madam Huang glanced over here, saw the two whispering in a low voice, and coughed lightly: "Don't hold you little girls here, go out for a walk." Xiao'er, accompany you Sister Jinxi. ”
"It's still my aunt and grandmother who know that it hurts, so I'll take Sister Jinxi to the garden." After getting the pardon of Mrs. Huang, Sun Xiaoxue hurriedly blessed her body and pulled Mo Li out. Accompanying these old ladies and ladies in the warm pavilion is about to suffocate her.
The other three daughters also came out of the warm pavilion later, there were elders just now, and everyone didn't dare to make a mistake, but now when they got outside, several people began to look at Mo Li unscrupulously.
Mo Li turned his head slightly to the side and looked at those few glances, and the three of them invariably turned their faces to the side and looked away.
"I finally don't have to stuff in the house." Sun Xiaoxue let out a sigh of relief, and as if inadvertently, she took Mo Li's arm and walked along the bluestone path, and quickly distanced herself from the three young ladies.
Sun Xiaoxue glanced back, only the personal maids of the two followed not far away, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Sister Jinxi, don't be like them, they are jealous." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Mo Li asked sideways.
Sun Xiaoxue looked back and smiled: "My sister is about to become Mrs. Murong, just now the eldest princess gave Ruyi again, isn't this enough to make people jealous?" You know, the eldest princess doesn't just give things to everyone. ”
"So, I should feel honored?" Mo Liwaner.
"Not really." Sun Xiaoxue nodded seriously, "Not to mention marrying General Murong, just talking about the eldest princess, there are few in the capital who can get into her eyes." ”
"Why didn't I think that the eldest princess didn't say a word to me just now." Mo Li shrugged disapprovingly.
"Sister doesn't know about the eldest princess?" Sun Xiaoxue asked.
Mo Li wasn't sure if Sun Xiaoxue knew that she had lied about amnesia in Xidaying before, so she didn't say much, just shook her head.
Sun Xiaoxue looked around and made sure that there was no one around, so she approached Mo Li, lowered her voice and said, "The eldest princess has been alone for many years, and she has developed such a cold temperament. If she doesn't look down on you, let alone give Ruyi, she doesn't even bother to give you a look. ”
Mo Li frowned slightly, how could the sister of the Holy Lord be alone?
When I was puzzled, I only heard Sun Xiaoxue continue: "The eldest princess's husband back then was also a general, and the two of them had a deep relationship, and the eldest princess has been following her husband to guard the border passes, and the fly in the ointment is that there has been no heir. ”
"Later, the general died in the battle with Beixiang, and the emperor felt sorry for his eldest sister and wanted to take her back to the capital, but she insisted on refusing, and insisted on staying at the border to keep an eye on the war with Beixiang."
"It wasn't until General Murong defeated Beixiang and Beixiang was forced to hand over the surrender letter that the eldest princess came back. But although people are back, their hearts are also dead, and they are cold to everyone, so I can talk to my aunt and grandmother. I didn't even go out before, but in the last year or two, I've gotten better, and I'll occasionally come out and walk around. ”
"It's a pity, such a princess, ended up with a new single shadow, a lonely person. My sister didn't see the appearance of the eldest princess when she returned to Beijing, alas...... It's poignant to think about. ”
Mo Li was still feeling sorry for the eldest princess, but looking at Sun Xiaoxue's old-fashioned appearance and sighing, she couldn't help but feel funny in her heart, and asked, "How old is Xiaoxiao this year?" ”
"Huh? I...... It's going to be thirteen soon. Sun Xiaoxue didn't understand why Mo Li suddenly asked her age, and replied ignorantly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the surrender of Hokgo was almost eight years ago, and at that time Xiaoxiao was still a nursing doll, so it was really funny to know the bitterness when she was so young." Mo Li said with a smile in his eyes.
Sun Xiaoxue knew that she was being ridiculed, and said angrily: "Sister, you laugh at me!" ”
"No, no, I just think Xiaoxiao is so cute." Mo Li hurriedly said, "You heard these words from the two old ladies, right?" ”
Sun Xiaoxue nodded: "My grandmother and aunt sighed behind their backs, trying to make the eldest princess happy." ”
