Chapter 22: Prayer
"Master? Master! Since the appearance of the little marquis, your eyes have never left. ”
The corners of Wen Ye's mouth went up, he didn't expect the two to meet here, it seems that the two of them are destined to be fateful.
"Is there one?"
Wanzhao was helpless, whether she was drinking tea or talking, she unconsciously looked at Mo Yan, even if the head of the Mo family greeted "Little Marquis", she immediately looked up.
"Master, don't worry, since he is not a ruthless person, there will be a way to make him agree to the marriage."
Wen Ye narrowed her eyes, she had a lot of ways to calculate, since she knew his affection for her three years ago, it was too late to deceive her first and then coax her slowly, it was a big deal to tell her identity that there would always be a day when she accepted her.
"It's not that it's impossible to give marriage, it's just that I can't ask Emperor Yan for the time being, and I haven't figured out what to say about Youzhou."
As soon as Wan Zhao heard this, Wen Ye decided to make a move, and if she gave the marriage, she didn't have to find the saint, she immediately thought of a more suitable candidate.
"Master, have you forgotten? There is still someone in the palace who can help you, and her words carry more weight than the saint. ”
Wen Ye smiled knowingly, how could she forget the imperial grandmother, if this old ancestor came forward, this matter would be half done.
"You go and send a message to Bixiao, and let Emperor Yan announce that I will enter the palace tomorrow, just to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager."
"Okay!"
The surging sea of clouds was dyed red by the red glow in the sky, and the evening light was deeply attracted by this magnificent beauty, if there was really a hole in this world, it should be such a scene, she couldn't help but close her eyes and say what she wanted.
"May the master marry the person he likes, and I will be with her for the rest of my life."
Wanzhao prayed sincerely, and the clear sky standing not far away could be heard clearly, and his heart was filled with bitterness and sadness. Since that was her intention, he couldn't trap her in Xiang's house and by his side.
Liangzhou Xiangjia has been the strongest martial arts family on the rivers and lakes for more than ten years. Xiang family has its own shops and land in Liangzhou, it can be said that it is a rich party, Xiang Shanming's kung fu is very exquisite, its internal strength can be ranked first in the rivers and lakes, to make friends with the world's heroes, hospitable and generous, and has a very high prestige in the martial arts
Xiang is the young master of the family, Xiang Shanming's son is Xiang Qingtian, and Xiang is the future head of the family. This majestic identity on the rivers and lakes, he has never been uncommon in the clear sky, those four words have brought him only alienation and jealousy, and the evening photos that have accompanied him since he grew up are his only consolation over the years.
If Wen Ye marries into the Chengyang Marquis Mansion in the future, it means that the clear sky will be separated from the evening light again, and Xiang Shanming will not agree to his son becoming a dowry guard, but let him let him go, he can't do it.
"Childe's surname is Xiang?"
An old man's voice came from behind him, and Qingtian turned to see that it was actually the head of the Mo family. Few people know the identity of the young master of the Xiang family, but it is not a secret that he is the affairs of the Xiang family, Qingkong hesitated and replied.
"Exactly."
Manager Li responded, first bowed, and then invited.
"My little marquis wants to see you, please come with me."
Qingkong nodded slightly, and followed Manager Li to the west courtyard, Mo Yan stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and looked at the red glow in the distance, like a picture of Yulang looking at the mountains. Just as the clear sky was secretly sighing at Mo Yan's graceful posture, Mo Yan had already walked in front of him, his eyes were faint, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at him with a smile.
"To the young master, don't come unharmed."
"We know each other?"
Qingkong frowned slightly, clenching the saber in his hand, he had never crossed paths with Mo Yan, I don't know what he meant by this.
"I don't know each other, I met three years ago."
Mo Yan's words were still faint, but they were unquestionable. Clear Sky was in a panic for a moment, he said three years ago, did he mean the palace civil unrest, he did lead Xiang family to rescue at that time, but unfortunately it was too late.
"Don't be nervous, I met a lot of people that year."
Mo Yan smiled lightly and made a gesture of please, turned around and took a seat in the pavilion in the courtyard, and the clear sky followed with his head down, standing aside without saying a word.
Mo Yan brewed two cups of fragrant tea, and the fresh aroma of jasmine made people intoxicated, and made a gesture of please again.
"To the young master, try it."
Qingtian no longer shirked, and then sat down and tasted a sip of fragrant tea, which tasted good. Since Mo Yan knew his identity, there was no need for him to hide it.
"Little Marquis Mo, what are you looking for?"
Mo Yan smiled faintly, he didn't expect that this young master of the Xiang family was a friendly person, and for some reason, it was rumored that he was a ruthless character who killed people and punished people.
"Let's make a deal and make sure you don't lose."
The corners of Qingtian's mouth curled, Mo Yan wanted to make a deal with himself, it was funny. He is the son of the Marquis of Chengyang, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and in addition to the throne surnamed Chu, there are still things he can't get!
"You answer me a question, and I'll do something for you."
Qingkong just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Mo Yan immediately interrupted, and the gaze in his eyes was unwavering.
"Listen to me, you won't refuse."
Early in the morning of the second day, Mo Yan pushed open the door and Cheng Nuanxin was waiting for him in the courtyard, and Manager Li also made Jingshan tea for him brought back from Wanshou Temple.
"Brother Mo, it's so early today."
Cheng Nuanxin saw him come out and hurriedly greeted him, he specially had breakfast today to come, thinking that he would have to wait until noon, but who knew that Mo Yan got up as soon as he drank tea.
"What are you going to do?"
Mo Yan sat on the rocking chair in the courtyard, half-squinting at the flowing clouds in the sky, the clouds were rolling and leisurely. Cheng Nuanxin leaned over with a smile and opened the folding fan to cool Mo Yan.
"As soon as Brother Mo left the city, it was three days, and I was almost bored to death! Last night, the next person said that you went home, and I came here early in the morning. ”
Mo Yan frowned and glanced at Cheng Nuanxin coldly.
"You're sending someone to keep an eye on me?"
only heard the sound of "pop", Cheng Nuanxin's folding fan fell to the ground, where did he have the courage.
"Don't dare, I sent someone to the Hou Mansion every morning and evening to ask! Actually, I was in a hurry to find you to express my gratitude, and when I came back from the academy that day, you ordered Mr. Li to send a congratulatory gift to the master, and I heard that there was still a share of mine. ”
After Cheng Nuanxin finished speaking, he bowed to Mo Yan seriously, and Mo Yan pursed his mouth and turned his head away.
"Lao Li's mouth is really getting less and less strict."
"This is a good thing, why hide it, how do you want me to thank you?"
Facing Cheng Nuanxin's sincere face, Mo Yan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Anything?"
Cheng Nuanxin hurriedly covered his mouth, regretting his impulsiveness, and suddenly felt that Mo Yan was teasing him, and couldn't help but pout. Mo Yan thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked up.
"Come with me to the palace in a few days."
Cheng Nuanxin looked loveless, he had been to the palace a few times, but Mo Yan must have been summoned by the Empress Dowager when he entered the palace, and he didn't want to go to this troubled harem.
"The Empress Dowager summoned you to the palace again?"
Mo Yan smiled and shook his head, the Empress Dowager didn't have time to see him today, but he should be remembered by her old man.
"Not today, the oracle to enter the palace in the next few days will definitely arrive."
Although Cheng Nuanxin didn't understand what he meant, he reluctantly agreed.
"Brother Mo, are you going to Jingshan again?"
Cheng Nuanxin raised his eyebrows, and desperately hinted at the Jingshan tea on the table with his eyes, he came today to be curious about where Mo Yan had gone in the past three days. Now it seems that they have gone to Jingshan again, no wonder they have been gone for three days, and they are not allowed to follow.
Mo Yan closed his eyes and pillowed his arms under his head, and it took a while before he gently replied with an "um".
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing that he seemed to be very tired, Cheng Nuanxin began to get nervous, picked up the folding fan on the ground and put it in his hand. Mo Yan's eyelids sank and turned his face sideways, Cheng Nuanxin saw him fall asleep, and tiptoed to leave, but heard Mo Yan murmuring in a daze as if he was sleeping, but it was extremely clear.
"I just want to go and see it, maybe I can meet each other."
Cheng Nuanxin sat aside and accompanied him for a while, and when he saw that he was really asleep, he got up and walked out of the inner courtyard.
"Cheng Gongzi stays!"
Cheng Nuanxin was about to go home, but Manager Li chased after him, wanting to leave him for lunch before leaving. The two walked to the dining room, and Cheng Nuanxin couldn't help but start chatting with Manager Li.
"Brother Mo didn't seem to sleep well last night?"
"Yes, the little marquis has been drinking since he came back yesterday, and he drank until midnight and drove everyone out of the inner courtyard, and I don't know when he slept. No, don't worry about the young man, although the little marquis is drunk, he can see that he is happy in his heart. ”
After Mr. Li finished speaking, he sighed lightly, since he was a child, he has never seen him drunk for anyone, if he didn't guess his toss last night, it must be related to the third lady of the Wen family, and when he thought of this, Mr. Li's heart was much more comfortable.
"Really? That's good, I'm really afraid that he won't be able to see it, and if he can get a wife in the future, we don't have to worry so much. ”
Cheng Nuanxin showed his face in an instant, if Mo Yan can really get a wife, he might as well be braver at that time.
"Yes, definitely!"
Manager Li patted Cheng Nuanxin on the shoulder, he will definitely see the little marquis marrying a wife and having children, he must wait until that day!
In the deep palace with red walls and green tiles, two women walked between the palaces, and a little duke led them through the palace gates and entered the harem as deep as the sea.
"Miss Lauwen is waiting here, and the servant goes to tell the Empress Dowager."
"There is Father-in-law Lao!"
Wen Ye nodded slightly, and Bi Xiao stuffed a bag of gold beads in his hand into his arms. I saw that the little father-in-law happily accepted it, quietly put it into his sleeve, and his steps were much faster.
"You're getting better at it."
Wen Ye smiled and touched Bi Xiao with her elbow, Bi Xiao didn't care about her with a cold face, it wasn't that she had stood there for half an hour, and her body didn't know how distressed.
"Hey, I heard that Miss Wen San has entered the palace again, but is it true?"
A delicate voice came from the side of the palace wall, this voice was not big or small, and it happened to enter Wen Ye's ears.
"Yes, I heard that the appearance is good, and the last palace banquet was in the eyes of the saint, so your master is angry."
It was a soft-spoken father-in-law who replied, and listening to the tone, the woman just now should be a palace maid.
"Shinong businessman, the last in the business row, she is just a lowly merchant girl, what is there to be angry? Wearing a veil all day long is an ugly bastard, haha! ”
The palace maid spoke viciously, Bi Xiao was so angry that she couldn't listen to it, and she had to cross the palace wall and tear her mouth. Wen Ye hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her, shook his head slightly and said softly.
"It is not people who are low, but they look down on people's hearts. It's not like I haven't seen those methods in the harem, don't worry, this kind of little trick can't anger me. ”
The palace maid finally stopped laughing, but the father-in-law lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being listened to and get into trouble.
"Let me tell you, the Wen family is now an imperial merchant appointed by the Holy Lord, and a medical family that has practiced medicine for generations, and the late Master Wen has achieved the judgment of the Tai Hospital."
In the face of her father-in-law's advice, the palace maid disagreed, and was sneering again.
"That's also the ability of the Wen family, what's the use of her being a good woman, in the end, she doesn't want to marry a husband and teach children."
"Don't say any more, be careful with your palm."
The father-in-law seemed to notice something, and was a little annoyed, so he dropped a sentence and turned away.
