Mo Li returned to Mo Mansion after seeing the medical hall, and as soon as he entered Ruolixuan's courtyard, Xia He greeted him: "Miss, Miss, someone sent a few boxes over at noon this afternoon, saying that they were from the Zhen'an Dart Bureau." ”

"Oh? Where to put it? Take me to see it. As soon as Mo Li heard the Zhen'an Dart Bureau, she knew that it must have been sent by Yu Mingxi, and she had already thought about how to transform the grocery store, so she was waiting for Yu Mingxi's news.

Xia He pulled her sleeve: "Miss, wait, the uncle said to let the young lady come back to the study to find him, the uncle has something to say to the young lady." ”

Mo Li could only press down and look at the boxes of things urgently, and glanced at Ruoping: "Let's go, first accompany Miss Ben to meet my brother." ”

"Sister Ruoping is tired for a day, so let's wait for Miss Slave." Xia He didn't wait for Ruoping to speak, he had already put on Mo Li's arm, "Miss, let's go." ”

Xia He used to be Mo Jinxi's personal maid, but since Miss Da returned to Beijing this time, she has always left Ruoping alone to wait, which has made her very sad.

A later one, how could he have crossed her inexplicably, and today I got this opportunity, so I naturally can't let it go.

Walking on the way to the study, Xia He kept talking about some things about Mo Jinxi's past.

Mo Li frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, just quickened his pace to the study.

In the study, Mo Jinhua, who had left the court, had already changed into a light-colored silk shirt, and the hard work of the past few days had made him much lighter, and he was even thinner than when Mo Li first saw him.

"Uncle, Miss is here." Hearing the little girl Qingxuan's low reminder, Mo Jinhua put down the official document in his hand and got up from the bookcase: "Xi'er is here?" ”

"Brother is looking for me?" Mo Li picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea and sent it to Mo Jinhua.

"It's nothing, I heard your sister-in-law say, Xi'er has been very busy recently, what are you busy with?" Mo Jinhua took a sip of the teacup and didn't sit down, but asked unhurriedly.

"It's nothing, my sister-in-law handed over all the shops at home to me, so I naturally have to think about how to make these shops make more money." Mo Li blinked, things in business are still in their infancy, so it's better not to say too much.

Mo Jinhua saw that she didn't want to elaborate, and he didn't break her, but just smiled warmly: "Those shops should indeed be managed well, I am an official in the court, and your sister-in-law is not good at this, Xi'er can do whatever she wants, just don't be tired." ”

There was a warm current in Mo Li's heart, but she felt that Mo Jinhua deliberately called herself over, not just to ask about the shop.

Sure enough, Mo Jinhua put the teacup back on the table and said softly: "I've been busy with official business recently, but I have some free time today, can Xi'er accompany my brother to the garden for a walk?" ”

Mo Li nodded, followed Mo Jinhua out of the study, and instructed Xia He: "You go back to Ruolixuan and bring my handkerchief embroidered with daisies." ”

The brother and sister walked along the willow shade by the pond in the garden, and the little girl Qingxuan was far behind.

"Why did you break up Xia He?" Hua Jinhua glanced behind him and asked sideways.

"Doesn't my brother have something to say to me?" Mo Li raised her eyebrows mischievously.

Mo Jinhua looked at her deeply: "Xi'er is really getting more and more transparent, it seems that the experience of being outside for a few months has made Xi'er grow up." ”

Mo Li pursed her lips and said nothing, just a faint smile back.

Mo Jinhua walked onto the pontoon bridge by the pond, which led directly to the small octagonal pavilion in the center of the pond, and it was not until the two of them sat down in the pavilion that he asked in a low voice: "Xi'er has ever been familiar with the King of Jin?" ”

"I've only met a few times, but I can't talk about acquaintance." Mo Li remembered that Murong Chu had said that he was a dangerous person, and couldn't help but be a little worried, and told Mo Jinhua about the first time he saw Zhong Hanchi and his wife by Changle Lake, and the fact that he was rescued by Zhong Hanchi when he encountered a startled horse.

"Why didn't you tell your brother about such a dangerous thing?" Hua Jinhua frowned and reproached.

Mo Li stuck out her tongue: "I'm not hurt, I said that I was not afraid that you and my sister-in-law would worry." ”

"When he came down today, he asked me about you." Mo Jinhua's face was a little gloomy, "Originally, I didn't have anything to do with him. It's already a little strange that he came to the house to mourn, but today he called me on official business, but in the end he asked me about some family matters, and he also deliberately focused on how you are doing. ”

"This ...... Could it be that he thought I was frightened that day, so he asked? Mo Li said this, but he also felt a little uneasy in his heart, the dignified prince, there is no need for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to care so much about the sister of a fourth-grade official.

Mo Jinhua sighed lightly: "Originally, your sister-in-law and I didn't want you to send your mother's coffin back to your hometown, but now it seems that it is safer to take you with you." ”

"King Jin seems to be gentle, but he is thoughtful, what he does must have deep meaning, and he will never ask casually."

"Take the opportunity to get closer and throw an olive branch to your brother?" Mo Li leaned closer and lowered his voice, "I heard that the person above is not as good as his body and bones day by day, and this is the time when he needs to win people over the most." ”

Mo Jinhua couldn't help but look at his sister carefully, although he didn't know what an olive branch was, but the meaning was clear.

If it was put in the past, that simple little girl would never have thought of this level, but now in just a few words, she guessed the reason, which made him have to re-examine the little girl in front of him.

"My father has been an official for many years, and he has always been upright, and he also demands the same from me. I only stick to the path I want to take and don't lean in either way. Mo Jinhua stood up and looked at the flower stems standing among the lotus leaves in the pond.

Mo Li saw that he was distracted, and lightly opened his cherry lips and read: "Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the middle, no vines and no branches, fragrant and clear, pavilions and pure plants, can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed." ”

Xi'er's words are very wonderful, a good one is straight from the middle to the outside, not vines and branches, this is exactly what my brother thinks in his heart. Where did Xi'er get this good sentence? Mo Jinhua looked at Mo Li's gaze a little more inquiring.

"It's just that I happened to see a book and wrote it down when I thought it was good, and I forgot what it was." Mo Li replied vaguely, she can't say that this is a famous sentence by the great philosopher Zhou Dunyi of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"My brother wants to be that proud gentleman, and this road must be full of thorns and bumps, but as long as you stick to your heart, I believe that you will eventually achieve your wish."

Mo Jinhua suddenly felt that his sister was not as weak as he imagined, and since this was the case, there was no need to worry too much.

Mo Li remembered that Mo Jinhua mentioned just now about sending Yu's coffin back to his hometown, and it had been almost 20 days since Yu's death, so he asked, "Brother, when will we leave to send my mother back?" ”
