Chapter 211: What a fox
Yu Mingxi hooked his lips: "Originally, I was going to go north to see the other semicolons of the dart game." ”
Xu Minglang pondered for a moment, got up and saluted Mo Li: "Miss, I am not talented, I am willing to share my worries for Miss, and go with Young Master Yu." ”
"What are you making a fuss about?" Yu Mingxi glared at Xu Minglang and said, "You're gone, what should I do with this Linglong Pavilion?" You can't let your owner be the shopkeeper himself, right? ”
Mo Li didn't say a word, she knew that Xu Minglang was a smart person, so she would naturally have her own ideas.
I only heard Xu Minglang say: "Back to the eldest lady, Yu Gongzi, it has been a few months since the opening of Linglong Pavilion, there is nothing special in business, Ermao has been helping by my side, but he is also doing his best, and the things in the shop can be handed over to him temporarily." ”
Mo Li smiled indifferently: "Although there are not many people in my hands, all of them are capable." It's just that it's freezing on this day, and the border pass is even more bitter cold......"
Yu Mingxi waved his hand disapprovingly, interrupting Mo Li's words: "It's okay, it's not like I haven't been to the border in winter, although the weather is cold, nothing can happen." Besides, since trade is to be opened, the border gates will naturally not be as unpeaceful as before. Since Minglang wants to go with me, it is better to make some preparations in advance. ”
Mo Li stood up: "It's not early, you two can discuss it yourself, I'll go back first." ”
Yu Mingxi and Xu Minglang sent Mo Li outside the door and watched Mo Li's carriage drive away.
Just about to go back to Linglong Pavilion, Yu Mingxi felt a gaze on the other side, he looked up, only to see a figure flashing behind a window on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, and when he wanted to take a closer look, there was nothing.
Xu Minglang found that he was looking at the opposite side, and also glanced at the teahouse, there was nothing abnormal, and he called softly: "Young Master Yu, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Yu Mingxi retracted his gaze and followed Xu Minglang back to the backyard of Linglong Pavilion.
In the private room of the teahouse opposite, two young women drank tea opposite each other, and one of them, a slightly handsome woman, said, "Sister Lan, was that Mo Jinxi just now?" ”
Gao Zhilan, who was wearing a peach-colored brocade jacket on the other side, looked disdainful: "It's not her." ”
"It's really a fox, you see what she was talking and laughing with that man just now, I don't know what General Murong's expression would be if he was there."
Gao Zhilan pulled the handkerchief in her hand: "My sister still has to be cautious, now she ......"
"Humph! My dignified Miss Yan's Mansion, are you still afraid of her? The woman disagreed.
"That is, even if she is the eldest princess's daughter, she can't compare to her sister's identity as the prime minister's concubine." Gao Zhilan flattered her mouth, but she was disdainful in her heart.
The opposite lady is indeed the fifth lady in Xiao Wentong and Prime Minister Xiao's mansion, the sister-in-law of Princess Xiao of Jin, but she is a concubine with a hidden disease.
Fifth Miss Xiao Lingshuang was born with an extra finger next to the thumb of her right hand, Xiao Wentong even if he asked someone to cut that finger, in order to prevent future troubles, it was cut deeper at that time, and it was still a hole there until now.
Outsiders don't know about this matter, but the lack of a piece of meat on the hand is not good-looking after all, especially for women, it is also a shortcoming. Xiao Wentong and his wife didn't like this daughter, and they didn't discipline her much.
However, the Jin princess Xiao is very fond of her only sister-in-law, Xiao Lingyu is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, she has outstanding appearance and talent since she was a child, and the Xiao family has high hopes for her, so for the sake of the eldest daughter's face, Xiao Wentong and his wife did not treat Xiao Lingshuang badly.
Gao Zhilan became good friends with her, completely to see the face of Princess Jin. However, she later found out that although Xiao Lingshuang was a little worse in temperament, she didn't have any scheming, as long as it was something she knew, she could get it out in three sentences or two. Therefore, Gao Zhilan would often meet with her and ask about the Xiao family and Princess Jin.
At Mrs. Huang's birthday banquet that day, Gao Zhilan saw that Xiao's eyes on Mo Li were a little special, and as soon as the birthday banquet was over, she went to Xiao's mansion first to visit Xiao Lingshuang, who was infected with the wind and cold and couldn't go out, and successfully learned some useful information from her mouth.
Xiao Lingshuang just overheard some words from her mother, and she didn't know the reason for it, she was young and didn't understand the meaning, she only knew that Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, had snubbed Princess Jin because of Mo Jinxi.
After all, Gao Zhilan is a few years older than her, with this sentence, combined with the performance of Princess Jin at the birthday banquet, it is not difficult to guess that Zhong Hanchi has taken a fancy to Mo Jinxi, and Princess Jin also knows about it.
So she had a plan and took snacks to visit Princess Jin in the palace of King Jin...... Although she failed later, it was better than letting Dali Temple catch her handle, otherwise, she would have no life now.
Today, Xiao Lingshuang asked her out, she wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the news of Princess Jin, but unfortunately, the Xiao family has been raising a baby in the palace and has not returned to the palace, and Xiao Lingshuang can't go to the palace to see her, so there is no useful news.
In addition to being disappointed, Tao'er, who was waiting on the side, inadvertently saw through the Ming tile on the window that the person coming out of the Linglong Pavilion opposite looked like Mo Jinxi, so she pushed open a gap in the window and asked the young lady to come over and take a look, which led to the previous scene.
Gao Zhilan glanced at Tao'er, who nodded almost invisibly and quietly walked out of the private room.
Here, Xiao Lingshuang didn't notice the interaction between the master and servant at all, and he didn't take Tao'er to heart when he suddenly went out, and said while drinking tea: "I don't know what's wrong with those men, one or two like this kind of fox." ”
"It is said that marrying a wife and marrying virtue is only a matter of concubine, her brother is just a small official from the fourth grade, where is he worthy of the identity of the Beining Palace?"
Xiao Lingshuang completely ignored Mo Shilang, who had only passed away for more than a year, you must know that the ancestors of the Mo family were also from a scholarly family, but the people were not very prosperous, and there were not many people who joined the ranks, but it was not because they did not learn enough.
Mo Jinhua is not low when he is young enough to sit on the right side of the Yushitai from the fourth grade, but in a place like the capital full of princes and generals, the grade is indeed not high, but if he is let go outside, he is at least a prefect.
Gao Zhilan naturally won't break this point, she can't wait for the Mo family to be looked down upon.
Who knew that Xiao Lingshuang continued: "I really don't think it's worth it for Sister Lan, in terms of appearance and talent, Sister Lan can be called the number one beauty in the capital, which point is not better than the Mo family's girl who is not on the stage, why didn't she win the favor of General Murong?" ”
Although she was touted, she also poked Gao Zhilan's sore spot, she looked a little displeased, frowned slightly and said, "My sister is almost seventeen, is Mrs. Xiao also busy giving you a marriage?" ”
Xiao Lingshuang's face turned pale, Mrs. Xiao had long wanted to give her a marriage, but her marriage was indeed a little difficult. Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the sister-in-law of Princess Jin, how can she be willing to allow a small family at will.
