Chapter VIII: Reparation

Xu's thoughts about this concubine have always been complicated, because of how much she has been wronged by her mother, and as long as she sees Mo Yunxiao, she will immediately think of her mother, so Xu really has no love for Mo Yunxiao.

However, a child, without his own mother, the old lady dislikes being a girl and refuses to care, the slaves at the head of the family are used to stepping on the low and worshiping the high, and it is common to deduct the monthly routine in private, and even take the child out of anger behind people's backs.

Xu met by chance, and couldn't help but feel pity for this child, in the end, it was the blood of Master Mo, so he took the person over, and took care of him with a wet nurse and a maid, not far or close, although he didn't love her much, but he also fulfilled his responsibility as a mother.

Master Mo felt ashamed of his wife in this matter, and after seeing his wife treat his concubine like this, he admired Xu's generosity, and the husband and wife were even more affectionate.

"Soon a few begonias, whatever." Dong Li naturally won't say anything to refuse, "But I'm afraid few people dare to ask for my sister's begonias, and I haven't told my father and mother about this yet, so it's no wonder that my sister doesn't know." ”

Xu heard it, and hurriedly asked what was going on, and Dong Li said that he hated this begonia tree and wanted to move it, but he dug up the corpse again, and Xu Shi heard that he chanted Buddha again and again, and held Dong Li's hand for a while: "Fortunately, my son is fine!" Then he angrily scolded the Han family: "It's really hateful! Actually bought us a place where people died! ”

Master Mo is also secretly frightened, it is normal for a big family to die, and it is not uncommon for a bad tempered master to kill a subordinate, but this corpse is buried under the begonia tree, and the golden hairpin that represents the identity, the identity of the person buried under this tree is definitely not ordinary, and his family has just come over, so don't be involved in the murder.

Mo Yunxiao covered his mouth with his hand, his big watery eyes widened, as if he was frightened, Xu Shi saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly called the maid over: "Send the second lady back to rest, ask the kitchen to boil some soothing soup, you take good care of it, I won't spare any mistakes." ”

Mo Yunxiao didn't want to go back, but Mo Youran said that she wanted to go to Dongli to see the scene of the crime, she was scared, and after hesitating again and again, she had to leave stupidly.

Xu was also afraid of that scene or something, and didn't want to go, but he had already sent Mo Yunxiao away with such a reason, and he didn't want to go and see, so as soon as he entered the courtyard, he pulled the east fence into the house, and the ink was served with tea, and the mother and daughter sat in it and chatted, waiting for the father and son to finish.

When Zuo Zhan left, he specially instructed to keep the scene, so nothing here was moved, and the half-dug begonia tree exposed the root system below, like a big open mouth, which looked shocking.

Master Mo didn't come to see the scene at all, it was the Yamen's business to investigate the case, so he wouldn't care so much: "Tell me, how did the people from the Nangong family suddenly appear?" Don't say you didn't investigate. ”

Still can't hide it from Lao Tzu, Mo leisurely touched his nose: "Yes, my son went to see it, and I also asked someone to inquire privately." Although Nangong Xiao's character is not very good, it is undeniable that he is very good at managing the army, and his subordinates are also strict, and in the end, he only heard that the old lady who seemed to be the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei had spoken, asking him to go back and discuss something. ”

The old lady sent a message and he went back? Master Mo was suspicious of this, Nangong Xiao had spent most of his time in the military camp over the years, leading the army to fight against the barbarians, and without him, he was not afraid that the Northern Army would be unstable?

"According to my son, I'm afraid that the battle situation in Saibei will change, otherwise Nangong Xiao will not leave easily." Mo Youran lowered his voice, his handsome face was full of solemnity, the war in Saibei has been fought for so long, is there finally going to be a change? "Daddy, my son thinks that this may be our chance."

was suddenly knocked down from the clouds, Mo Youran was young and promising, and he was naturally extremely unwilling.

Master Mo waved his hand: "Don't be reckless, we still need to think about this matter in the long run." ”

The father and son entered the house, the ink was not in the house, the mother and daughter couldn't stay idle, and they had already started to make a pair of shoes.

"There's one more thing that my son hasn't told his parents yet." Mo Youran went over and looked at the shoes in his sister's hand, the workmanship was very exquisite: "Speaking of this case, I have my sister's great credit!" ”

Dong Liang flew a needle in his hand, and glanced at his brother when he heard the words.

"Oh? Let's talk about it, how can there be credit for the East Fence? Xu raised his head with great interest, but the work in his hand did not stop, and he continued to do needlework with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and Master Mo watched with satisfaction on the side.

"Of course, it's my sister's credit." Mo Youran said the words of the ghost of Dongli to dream, and shook his head at the end: "This unjust soul is really good at finding someone, and it is expected that Dongli is willing to help." ”

"Forget it, it almost scared me to death." Higashi rolled his eyes, still doing needlework.

The Mo family and the husband and wife glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both laughed, Xu put down the work in his hand and hugged Dongli into his arms: "My son, it's hard for you!" It's also my son's kindness, otherwise there wouldn't be a wronged soul who wants you to help redress grievances. The old people often say that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, and if you do good deeds, you will be blessed in the future. ”

"But this matter can't be publicized, if outsiders listen to it, maybe they will add fuel and vinegar, saying that we are in the east fence and are possessed by something unclean, and everyone will be golden, so we must guard against it!" Master Mo was worried that there would be a bad impact, so he reminded him earnestly.

"The father can rest assured, and the son can save it." Mo Youran replied with a straight face, "Just in front of Yunxiao, didn't my son say that?" Only a few of us know about this, and we won't let others know. ”

The son is still very steady, and Master Mo stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

A few people didn't warm up for a while, and the ink ran in from outside, and Dongli sent her to send begonia flowers to Yunxiao, although Yunxiao may not dare to accept it, but she always sent it over.

Shui Mo looked excited: "Master, madam, young master, miss, that Zhao Li, she is here again!" ”

The needle and thread in Dong Li's hand paused, and sighed secretly, this woman is really persistent, doesn't she understand, the more entangled she is, the more disgusted the Mo family will be with her?

As soon as the curtain was lifted, another maid in pink clothes came in, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a peachy face: "Master, madam, young master, miss, Mama Wang took her daughter-in-law to ask to see her outside, saying that she wanted to apologize to Miss." ”

This time, even Mama Wang came, and Dongli pouted, it seemed that Mama Wang still failed to overwhelm Zhao Li in the end.

Xu Shi pulled a face: "Call them in, I want to see what they have to say." ”

Zhao Li has already been dazzled, this is the first time she has entered the inner courtyard, not to mention the exquisite houses, gardens, rockeries and lakes or something, just look at the girls who wear red and green, this is not to say that it is a maid, I thought it was a young lady, look at the dress of others, that bearing, hey, it is really a rich family's maid, more magnificent than the landlord's wife.

Mama Wang is very disdainful of her daughter-in-law's shallow-eyed appearance, but when she thinks of her grandson, she can't help but sigh secretly, who told her that grandson will recognize Zhao Li as such an uninformed and unproductive person, for the sake of her grandson, she will endure this Li family for a few more years, she has already thought about it, and she will give her son a powerful concubine in a few days, and then see what else the Li family is capable of.

Hearing the master call in, Mama Wang straightened her clothes and glanced at Zhao Li's: "Follow me, put away your unseen look, and apologize well when you see the master, do you know?" If my master is really annoyed, I won't be able to protect you. So saying, he went into the house first.

Zhao Li hurriedly followed.

There were two standard-looking maids standing at the door, holding the curtain, Zhao Li glanced at it, and immediately felt proud in his heart, what is the use of you dressing so beautifully, it is not the same as a subordinate, you want to open the curtain for me, a country woman, snorted in her nostrils, and walked over proudly with her head held high.

Dan Zhu stood expressionlessly, like a wooden stake, after all, the ink was young, and the city government was not enough, glaring fiercely at Zhao Li's back.

Mama Wang smiled and greeted the masters one by one, Zhao Li followed behind, her eyes couldn't help but look secretly in private, and saw the exquisite furniture, oh you can shine the shadow of a person, it seems that it is still embedded with gold and silver, how much does it cost? I can't help but envy the maids who I despised just now, working here is more profitable than farming.

Xu looked at Zhao Li's purring eyes, and felt disgusted in his heart, cleared his throat, and fiddled with the lid of the teacup in his hand: "Mama Wang, you are also the old man in the family, I think of your grandmother and brother, and I always leave you a little dignity in everything, but look at what good things your daughter-in-law has done?" As soon as he said that, the lid of the teacup "clanged" and covered the teacup heavily.

Mama Wang was so frightened that her body trembled, and she knelt down: "Madame, forgive me!" It's all because the daughter-in-law of the slave maid is shallow and has never seen the world, so the sister was wronged, and the slave maid brought her to make amends. As he spoke, he went to pull Zhao Li's: "What did I tell you?" What are you doing in a daze? ”

Zhao Li knelt on the ground, his eyes were aimed at the lady above who was wearing a dark red tuanhua brocade dress, and the jewelry on her head was shining, which was called a majesty, and he hurriedly knocked his head to the ground: "It's the little woman who has no eyes and no beads, and she neglects the girl, and she also asks the girl to have a lot, and she doesn't have the same knowledge as the little woman." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bag of loose silver from his bosom: "The little woman has nothing good, these, buy something for the girl......
