Yu Moji had heard before that Jin Niang woke up shortly after she was rescued; It's just that Yu Moji has always wanted to pretend that he has never been involved in that matter, so he has always deliberately avoided seeing each other.

Jin Niang came to her on purpose.

When Yu Mojin saw Jin Niang for the first time, he only saw two ghostly images coming out of the swinging pool. There was something strange about it. Therefore, even though Yu Moji had heard Ling Ai describe Jin Niang's beauty, in a hurry, he didn't pay attention to it.

Only now did she know that what Ling Ai said was indeed true.

The woman had regained the vitality and health she was supposed to have, and looked like an elf who had occasionally stayed on earth.

"It's beautiful." Yu Moji didn't know if he had already said these two words.

Jin Niang just looked at her with a smile and said, "Xiaoyu, it's good to see you." ”

When Jin Niang laughs, she will not habitually restrain her smile in a dignified and decent manner like Ling Ai, the eldest lady from the princess's family; Jin Niang's smile is very distinctive—her eyes are curved into a gentle arc, her nose is slightly wrinkled cutely, and the corners of her lips are full of smiles, showing her braided teeth very happily.

She's not really young anymore. At this distance, Yu Moji doesn't need to look very carefully, you can find that the corners of Jin Niang's eyes and neck have given birth to shallow fine lines.

But her smile was so innocent and natural.

Yu Moji stared blankly for a moment, and suddenly saluted for this natural beauty, "...... Hello teacher. ”

When she finished speaking, she immediately blushed - she remembered that there was no such thing as etiquette in the Cardinal.

"Huh?" Jin Niang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "No, no." Although I am Lu Chen's wife, I can also be regarded as a master of the Cardinal. You are just like them, just call me Jinniang. ”

Yu Moji nodded.

"I heard Xiao Ling say that you saved me." Jin Niang looked at her very kindly, "I've always wanted to come and see you, so I can thank you." It's just that my body hasn't been getting better, so it's been delayed for a long time. ”

"No, no," Yu Mojin shook his head in panic, "I just...... I just listened to Ling Ai's arrangement. ”

Jin Niang just smiled and said, "I heard it say that you are from the Aige Cottage in the west of Chilu Mountain. Although I don't know much about that place, some people from my mother's family have also lived in Xiliang, and I heard that the living environment, language, and culture there are very different from those of the imperial capital. You've been in the imperial capital for some time, but are you still used to it? ”

Yu Mochen said in her heart that she was not used to this, her days of mourning were much worse than now.

However, Jin Niang was also kind after all, and Yu Mozhen was very pleasing to the eye when she saw this master who was only seeing her appearance clearly for the first time, so she hurriedly replied, "Everything is fine." ”

Jin Niang didn't just say hello, and said again, "Lu Chen is not a careful person after all, although he hopes to be a competent teacher, but there are inevitably omissions in many things." If you are not used to it, if you are unhappy, don't be ashamed to confide in it. I know you're good friends with Xiao Ling, but that kid is always running around. If you can't find someone to talk to on weekdays, you can also talk to me, or, when you get back, you can also ask him how he adapted back then. I've heard you two know each other well. ”

Yu Moji looked at Jin Niang suspiciously, "General Yuan...... What does he have to adapt to? ”

Jin Niang smiled and said, "Don't look at the way he looks like a fish in water now, when he first came to the imperial capital, he was a very difficult child to get along with, and it took a long time to get along with everyone." ”

Yu Moji was stunned when he heard this. She originally thought that with the kind of demeanor shown by Yuan Yizhi, he should also be from a famous family. But what Ling Ai said to Jin Niang didn't seem to be the case at all.

What has happened to the near-perfect Yuan Zhizhi in the past?

Jin Niang didn't pay attention to the usual stunnedness on Yu Moji's face, and continued, "Where do you live now?" Far from it? Is life still convenient? Do you have money to use? ”

Yu Moji's heart was hot when he heard it.

She has had a hard time when she was a child, and she has seen too many people who care about her situation, whether true or false; According to the little experience she has saved up alone over the years, people who usually talk about money are really concerned about her situation.

Although Yu Moji occasionally hurts herself, in front of people who really care about her, she will try to hide her embarrassment as much as possible; So she was even more determined that everything was really fine.

She didn't want Jin Niang to ask any more. Because of this gentle water-like master, no matter what she asks, Yu Moji will probably answer.

Then the fragile and despicable side that Yu Moji painstakingly wants to hide, I'm afraid he can't hide it.

She had no choice but to ask back.

"Ling Ai told me, Jin Niang, you visited relatives in Beiliang a few days ago," this is the only topic that Yu Moji can think of now, "I have lived in the southwest for a long time, but I don't know what the scenery is like in the north. In the future, if you are free, please tell me more. ”

As she spoke, she felt a little wrong.

Jin Niang just went back to visit her family, why did she return to the Cardinal in such a bizarre way?

Sure enough, Jin Niang smiled bitterly, "The statement of going back to visit relatives is just made up to fool people." It's not that Xiao Ling doesn't know, why did he tell you like that. ”

Yu Moji was stunned for a moment, and said, "This is also my fault." I shouldn't have asked. As he spoke, he began to wonder how he could find an excuse to escape.

Jin Niang shook her head, "It has nothing to do with you listening to this matter." Xiao Ling told us, you should know, you know everything. ”

Yu Moji nodded a little sourly.

Jin Niang turned around and closed the door.

"Since it was known that the source of the Chitose Gold was likely to be in the deep sea, the Cardinal Council has been developing mechs that can operate in deep water for a long time." Jin Niang explained, "Although Beiliang is located in the north, it is also close to the sea, so everyone is good at water. The Cardinal's rare presence of a few of us who are good at the water is often sent to test the mechs underwater. It's just that this matter can't be disclosed to the public, so I made up an excuse to go back to visit my family. ”

"It turns out ......" Yu Mochen heard her say this, and couldn't help but remember that he had also embarked on the destiny track written by others, so he sighed and said, "But whoever can be useful, the Cardinal will use it." ”

"You're not wrong to say that," Jin Niang smiled calmly, "but since you have received the cardinal's salary, you have to do something. After all, no matter where you are, it's not good to be a useless idler. Otherwise...... It's hard to survive. ”

There was never a hint of sadness in her smile, but her words were heartfelt.

Yu Moji understood what she meant.

Isn't this kind of way of living, which exhausts all the ways out, also a portrayal of Yu Moji's life?

Yu Moji sighed with emotion, and gradually became a little vigilant in his heart.

Even though this conversation is very casual, Jin Niang is also a very charming woman who is admired by Yu Moji; But when they met for the first time, they talked about it to such a point, and Yu Moji always felt that something was wrong.

"Jin Niang, I'm a very stupid person, if there is anything inappropriate in my words, please forgive me." Yu Mochen cautiously tentatively said, "When I hear what you say, I always feel that I mean something...... Do you have something to say to me? ”

Jin Niang bowed her head slightly, "Actually, I didn't come to tell you about this on purpose, but now is a good time." ”

These days, Yu Moji has been thinking very openly. She only smiled bitterly, "It's always good to know something you should know." ”

Jin Niang said, "Lu Chen said that you are very similar to Yongzhi, they are both sensible children. ”

"I just think it's a little weird." Yu Mojin sighed helplessly, "After all, General Yuan is in a hurry to go to the battlefield, and there are some things that I haven't had time to tell me, and there is no way; But he can meet with me almost every day, so why should I always ask someone to relay what I should tell me? ”

"You're right," Jin Niang's smile was a little lenient and conniving, "Lu Chen is such a person, there are many things that have to be done, but he often does it neatly, and he doesn't even have the slightest intention of objecting." He can personally drive every crucial step and even make decisions himself. But he did know how uncomfortable it must be for those involved in these things. Therefore, he was always reluctant to state the sad facts himself. ”

Yu Mojin nodded, "After all, Jin Niang, as the wife of the teacher, also bore the brunt of the underwater dispatch." ”

"Lu Chen has been very difficult these years. The official position is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more things to take into account. Up to the court, down to each of his protégés, he always wants to try his best to take care of it, and when he can't catch it, he will be sad. Jin Niang smiled nonchalantly, "His little thought, even if he is suspected of self-deception, I should always understand." ”

Yu Mochen thought for a while, and said, "When I was a child, I studied with the master from Qi State, and there was a sentence called 'Gentleman Yuan Cook', and I didn't understand why the people of Qi advocated this kind of hypocrisy at that time. Now that I think about it, I guess I have the same last resort as the teacher. She smiled as optimistically as she could, "It's good that the teacher is in an important position and can still try his best to maintain compassion." ”

Jin Niang just laughed and was noncommittal. "I didn't expect that you have lived in mourning for a long time, and you have also learned these half-written sentences used by the people of Qi State," she showed an expression of reminiscing about the past, "After all, the times are different." ”

"Although Aige is guilty of having a thousand-year-old gold, he has attracted the covetousness of the people of Qi; But it was also the Qi people who opened up the passage to the other side of Chilu Mountain, so that the Tusu people who mourned were able to learn the culture of the Qi people, and the village was much more prosperous than in the past. What is lost and what is gained, it is really hard to measure. Yu Moji calmly stated the facts, "In the past, the Tusu people probably never expected such a future, but people have been swept up in the torrent, and there is always something that they can't help themselves. ”

"Looks like you've thought it through." Jin Niang looked at her with a little distress in her eyes. Maybe it's because it's not quite the right time, Jin Niang's innocent smile is finally put away. "In that case, my next words will be a little more reassuring." She paused, and then said, "There are a few mountain bandits in the south, you should have heard of it. Lu Chen plans to send you to participate in the bandit suppression this month. ”
