Yu Moji didn't know what to say.

She has heard many people say that the nine families on the boat are engaged in some shady things. Even a talented girl like Yi Xiaocheng has a high attainment in the study of Yanjia, and she even has to make a living by selling women from good families. So, what kind of life did Yuan Pingzhi's fiancée experience?

Ling Ai looked at Yu Moji's expression and seemed to guess what she was thinking, and immediately explained, "Although Jingliu is on the Jiangshan boat, what she is engaged in is not something inferior. She's a painter. ”

Yu Moji put his mind at ease and said, "I've heard that General Yuan also has some attainments in the customs picture scroll. ”

"Exactly." Ling Ai said, "The two of them were able to meet because they admired each other's talents. Jingliu is restricted by her identity, and her works cannot be circulated publicly, but she is also a little famous in the calligraphy and painting circle. She cupped her cheeks for a moment, and then added, "As far as I know, it's been seven or eight years since they met; However, it seems that the two have only been in the past two years for life. I am afraid that it took a long time to make this decision. ”

Yu Mochen was stunned when he heard it, and only after a while did he say, "You said in the past that General Yuan had already intended to retire...... Is it for this? ”

Ling Ai nodded, "Your appearance really helped him a lot." ”

Yu Moji was so embarrassed in his heart. "I have always only known that General Yuan is free and easy, but I didn't expect him to be such a loving person, and he is willing to give up his current reputation and status......" Her voice slowly lowered, and after a while, she said, "It is really not easy for him to maintain such a difficult relationship to this day." ”

"I think he also thinks that he can rest assured that he can entrust you with the affairs of the cardinal, and he is willing to reveal one or two at the banquet today. Relying on this person, it seems to be harmonious, but in fact, he has his own persistence in many things. The matter of affection is so, the study of the armor...... He didn't intend to just pick and choose. Ling Ai smiled, "Don't worry, I won't leave the Cardinal House until I cultivate you." ”

Yu Mojin just smiled faintly, and did not put Ling Ai's words in his heart. She thought for a moment and said, "I heard the conversation between the two of you before, saying that the fathers of the two families were good friends with each other, and you know General Yuan so far...... I think I've known each other for a long time. ”

"Indeed, we have known each other since childhood." Ling Ai said frankly, "Don't look at the current human spirit, he was really stubborn when he was a child, and his temperament was extremely stubborn, which made his father very nerve-wracking." ”

Hearing this, Yu Mojian cautiously tested, "I have also heard you talk about General Yuan's father before...... However, since I entered the imperial capital, I have never heard of a minister surnamed Yuan in the court. Well, General Yuan's father ......"

Ling Ai thought about it for a while, and said, "Anyway, I trust you, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you about this." Speaking of which, there is a reason why his personality has changed a lot now. She paused, as if to consider what to say and what not to say, "When he was young, there was a sudden change in his family. His father was charged with a very troublesome crime, and the meaning of the Criminal Department was originally a car split, but later he was changed to exile because of General Lao Yuan's meritorious work in exploring Xiliang. ”

Yu Mojin had never heard of these things, and he had never seen the traces of such a miserable childhood on Yuan Pingzhi's face. She was stunned for a while before she sighed, "General Yuan has actually experienced such a thing...... However, after such a big disaster, he was able to stay in the imperial capital safely, and he was really lucky. ”

Yu Moji remembered her mother. Yu Moji's maternal ancestor is also a rogue person. But her mother didn't have the luck of Yuan Yizhi, and she couldn't escape the implication, and finally followed her father to exile to Aige, so that there were residual ink marks.

Ling Ai said, "My father didn't have a chance to speak in the court back then, and his old friend was in such a big disaster, but he was powerless to save him, and he thought of many ways, but he only saved it, and he has always felt very guilty." She remembered the past, and couldn't help but wonder, "I was really stubborn when I was a child." In order to keep him, his father planned to change his name. But he remembered his father's kindness, and refused to change a word, so that his father spent a lot of effort to create him as a son of the same country. ”

Yu Moji thought for a while before he understood. The friendship between the two families that Ling Ai said in front of everyone before actually referred to Ling Jingcheng and the father he made up for Yuan Pingzhi.

Yuan Pingzhi is now an official and a deputy general, but he even has to hide his true background.

When Yu Mochen heard these things, he felt empathy, and he couldn't bear it, so he blurted out, "Does General Yuan have other family members?" What about his mother? ”

Ling Ai hesitated for a moment before saying, "With him...... There is no mother. ”

It was about that there were too many things that surprised Yu Mochen today, and when she heard this, Yu Mojin rarely did not show the stunned look she often had, but nodded her head to show understanding, "I see." I don't have a mother either. ”

She didn't expect that she and Yuan Yizhi could have such a little in common. As she had told Ling Ai, her own mother was dead.

Ling Ai glanced at her deeply and said, "It's a little different from your situation. General Lao Yuan did not have a wife. In fact, it was the child he was raising. She added, "As for the names of the biological parents, it seems that they never inquired." ”

The little illusion in Yu Moji's heart dissipated silently again.

She was silent for a while before she said, "Even if you are not your own child, General Yuan is unwilling to change his name and surname when he encounters great calamity. If he can do this, he must have been quite good between father and son in the past. General Yuan was able to develop such a good temperament in the end, and it is not unrelated to the happiness he had in his childhood. ”

She and Yuan are really different. She used to have a father, but she was disgusted with the Tusu name that her father gave her casually.

Is it true that only people who have been loved and cared for by their fathers will develop such self-confidence and calmness? Ling Ai is like this, Miss Fu is like this, and so is Yuan Yizhi.

When Yu Moji is not bothered to hide it, it seems that his thoughts and understandings often leak through his eyes and expressions. is as familiar as Ling Ai, and you can guess her mind at a glance.

"Everyone has their own experiences, and it is not only the family that can affect a person. What happens in the future actually depends on your own choice. Ling Ai said slowly, "As the old saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and sometimes it is true, the same family affection can also cultivate a hundred kinds of children." For example, today's lord is said to be Prince Rong's favorite daughter. ”

What she meant was self-explanatory. The lord of the county failed to get his sweetheart, even if he was pitiful; But she forcibly appointed her marriage with her father's majesty, and behaved like that after being rejected miserably, she really had no grace at all, but she was completely like a spoiled child.

Isn't that also a girl who has been pampered by her father?

In the long life, the influence from the family is obviously not as simple as Yu Moji thought; However, Ling Ai's words also fit Yu Moji's thoughts all along.

She has always preferred to take her life into her own hands.

Yu Mochen didn't have a family anyway, and she didn't have much time to think about these things that didn't matter to her.

When she first entered the Cardinal, compared with the reserves of the same period, her foundation and qualifications were really not good. When she finally caught up with a little bit, she was sent to Juping Mountain to level the bandits. In the past few months, although her actual combat experience has increased a lot, it is only one aspect after all. The Cardinal's requirements for Yanshi are quite strict, and they can be called comprehensive. In those aspects outside of actual combat, the strength of Yu Moji is high and low. For example, the design of the armor, the principle of the mecha, etc., because she thinks about it diligently on weekdays, and discusses it with the sergeants on the way back to the DPRK, she now seems to be much stronger than others; It's just that she is not good at smelting and forging, the art of war, military formations, etc., because she has not studied for a long time, it is simply declining.

So as soon as Yu Moji came back, she immediately devoted herself to her ups and downs of reserve schoolwork, she should practice archery, practice archery, and endorse it. When it was time to smelt molten steel in the Tiangong furnace, she never hesitated at all, wearing the Huanhuo gloves and goggle mask developed by the Cardinal, she could withstand the scorching heat and a few terrifying flames from time to time on the edge of the Tiangong furnace, which braved the overwhelming heat wave and occasionally burst out a few terrifying huge flames, and endured the scorching heat all day.

Yan Zheng has always paid attention to her efforts, often persuading her to be a little better to herself, and occasionally inviting her out for a drink, which can be regarded as a moment of relaxation. However, Yu Mochen had too many things to do, and he was always just thankful and insensitive, until Yan Zheng proposed to make up for her knowledge of the military formation, and Yu Mochen responded once, which was counted as a thank you.

She worked so hard, naturally she intended to get a good enough result in the graduation ceremony.

It's not about staying in the Privy House. Even though the graduation assessment can temporarily save the lives of the so-called outstanding talents in disguise, this kind of opportunity is not only quite ridiculous in Yu Moji's eyes, but also has nothing to do with her in fact.

Although her teacher Lu Chen has not yet admitted it in person, Ling Ai and the others have already made it clear that the Cardinal's intention to accept Yu Moji is to send her back to Xiliang in the future to be a pioneer. Every time Yu Moji thought about it, he felt that it was really auspicious.

However, even though she knew these things clearly, even if she had been angry and resentful about it, Yu Moji never had the idea of giving up on herself.

When she was working hard in the Cardinal's Office, all she had in mind was an opportunity to study the science of Yanjia. Now that the opportunity has come, she is not willing to be rejected by this vast and profound field because of her own stupidity.

She has her own plans. Although she will go to the battlefield no matter what in the future, if she can get the top seven in the graduation ceremony, she can not only give an explanation of her efforts over the years, but also raise her eyebrows for herself; And maybe she can get a little more leeway, stay in the Cardinal for a few more days, and she can get some more nutrients from the Yanjia Study, which she really loves, and if she is lucky enough to come back in the future, there will always be a time when the hardships she has endured today will come in handy.

After all, the knowledge she has, the confidence she builds, and even the definition of herself are all about it. The study of Yanjia has become an inseparable part of her life. Going to Xiliang is just a task; Outside of the mission, she has a whole life.
