"Where's that?" Old Madam Sun patted the back of her hand, "Now there are only two girls left in our Qingyuan Hou Mansion who have not left the pavilion, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu. It would be nice to have a few more girls to walk around. ”

Mrs. Sun's eyes rolled, and then Mrs. Sun's words said: "The old ancestor is right, look at how happy Xiao Jiu was just now!" ”

Mo Li hurriedly thanked her, and Mrs. Sun took advantage of this time to say again: "I have heard that there are two aunts in the Beining Palace, I don't know who this Miss Wan is?" ”

Several of the other ladies also looked at Mo Li together, obviously interested in this question.

Of course, Mo Li knew that she was inquiring about Murong Wan's biological mother, and said with a faint smile: "It's Aunt Zhao." This Aunt Zhao is a cousin of the old princess's mother's family, and she used to be the home of the official eunuch, but later declined, and her parents were gone, so she took refuge in the Bac Ninh Palace. Speaking of this Aunt Zhao, she is a good embroiderer. Wan'er has read and seen since she was a child, and she has obtained the true biography of Aunt Zhao, and today's embroidery is on par with Aunt Zhao. ”

As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief he was carrying, "Old lady, this is the handkerchief that Wan'er embroidered for me, do you think this handiwork is good?" ”

The veil spread in everyone's hands, and at the same time, everyone's favorability towards Murong Wan also increased a few points. Those who can have such embroidery skills must have a calm temperament and a delicate mind. Although she is a concubine, her biological mother was also a young lady in an official eunuch's family, but she was unlucky enough to become a concubine. I think I am also a knowledgeable person, and the daughter who teaches it will naturally not be bad.

Several ladies praised the handkerchief for its good embroidery. Old Madam Huang also praised: "It's really good, this girl looks decent, but she doesn't lose to those young ladies." ”

Mo Li just smiled lightly, but didn't say anything more, some words are best to stop at the point, and saying too much makes people suspicious.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Mo Li got up and said, "Two old ladies, ladies, Xi'er went out to talk to Miss Jiu, otherwise she should complain about me again." ”

"Go ahead." Old Madam Sun waved her hand.

came out of the flower hall, and sure enough, I saw that Sun Xiaoxue and Murong Wan did not go far, and when they saw Mo Li, the two of them greeted them.

"Sister Xi'er, I want to invite Wan'er to swim in the lake in a few days, she said she has to ask you first." Sun Xiaoxue naturally grabbed Mo Li's arm.

Mo Li saw that Murong Wan lowered her head slightly, a little cramped, and said with a smile: "Wan'er can go if she is interested, now that the weather is lukewarm, don't always be stuffy in the mansion." ”

When Murong Wan heard this, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she lightly blessed: "Thank you, princess." ”

The three of them were talking while walking forward casually, and Duan, who was not far away, saw it and came over this way.

"Xi'er, come with me over there and sit down."

Mo Li knew that the Duan family must have something to say, so she patted Sun Xiaoxue's hand on her arm and said, "Xiaoxiao, you go with Wan'er, and I will sit with my sister-in-law for a while." ”

A table and chairs were placed under a flower stand, and Mo Li went over with Duan's family, and someone from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion came over to serve tea and snacks.

Jiayin took the teapot and said, "A few sisters are busy, I will wait here." ”

After pouring tea, Jiayin also avoided it from a distance, leaving this place to the two sisters-in-law.

Duan nodded with satisfaction: "Xi'er, these girls around you are quite sensible." ”

"Well, it's all taught by Mama He, and I don't have to worry a lot."

"You haven't come back recently, you still don't know about Mo Jinning, right?" Duan Shi was not verbose and asked in a low voice.

If she hadn't mentioned it, Mo Li would have almost forgotten that there was still Mo Jinning, and frowned lightly: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Alas......" Duan sighed lightly, "Didn't Uncle Cousin say that he wanted to find her a home as soon as possible, but he really found it." I heard that he is in a small position in the Criminal Division, although it is not of any grade, but it is not bad. The family population is also quite simple. It was originally scheduled to pass in June, but unfortunately...... But the man is gone. ”

"When we were in Zhuangzi?" Mo Li asked. The chaos before the new emperor ascended the throne killed many people, especially the petty officials in the public gate.

Duan shook his head: "I heard that this is the person." The voice was extremely low, and a slap was secretly stretched out.

Mo Li couldn't understand it, Mo Jinning's fiancé was a member of the fifth prince, and the forces secretly cultivated by the King of Jin were all over the court, and the Shen Penal Division was in charge of the punishment of the Great Interior, how could there be no one from him.

"Has Uncle Cousin's family been implicated?"

"It's also affected a little. Thanks to Uncle Cousin, who is just an inconspicuous petty official, he has been cautious for many years. However, it will be difficult to go up in the future. The most pitiful thing is Mo Jinning, who has just been married, and it will not be easy to find someone in the future. Duan sighed.

"yes!" Mo Li responded casually, she didn't have much sympathy for Mo Jinning. As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, if it weren't for her delusional intention to enter the palace of Beining to be a concubine for Murong Chu, how could she be so hasty to make a marriage with someone without even finding out the details.

It is not difficult to marry a well-to-do family on her terms, but it is only strange that her eyes are above the top, and she finally ended up like this.

Duan sighed again and continued: "Aunt Cousin was seriously ill because of this, and she is still lying on the kang. A few days ago, when I went to see her, she was already too thin to look like a man. Mo Jinning is not much better, she still has a little bit of posture originally, but now she has a haggard face. ”

"They didn't embarrass their sister-in-law, did they?" Mo Li asked worriedly. The mother and daughter are unreasonable, and they can't blame them for their misery.

Duan pursed his lips: "I also said a few ugly words." I can't see them in general, in fact, if I don't care about saving face, I really don't want to see them. Fortunately, Uncle Cousin is sensible, and his two sons and daughters-in-law are not bad, otherwise the family would really not be able to get by. ”

Although the mother and daughter looked pitiful, they couldn't blame others. Mo Jin's eyes were above the top, thinking that he shouldn't have it, even if he didn't have this now, he probably had to make something else. ”

Mo Li exhaled helplessly: "The road under her feet is all her own, I just hope that she can stop in the future and don't make any more trouble." Otherwise, Uncle Cousin doesn't know what she has to do. ”

Seeing Mo Li, Duan also sighed and said, "Look at my chatter, making you unhappy." Forget it, don't mention them, let's just live our lives well. ”

"What's not happy, they don't have much to do with us anyway." Mo Li smiled slightly, "How is my brother doing?" ”

"It's good, it's just busy." At the mention of his husband, a smile appeared on Duan's face, "This Dali Temple is no better than the previous errand, and there is no time to be idle all day long." ”
