Chapter 42: The Marriage Contract Is Resettled
Although Yang Jinzhi's troubles had been banned by Dongli, Nangong Xiao naturally had his own news channels, and soon learned the news, and his face changed for a while, and he finally couldn't help laughing.
The two girls came together, and it seemed that the relationship was a lot better, Nangong Xiao looked at them with interest, it seemed that they seemed to have had some intersection when they didn't know, and it seemed that the relationship was good.
"The meal has been prepared, but Shizi Ye and Lord Zuo are both foreign men, so it is inconvenient for me to accompany them, brother, you take care of the guests, Miss Yang, let's go inside." After Mo Dongli entered the door, he nodded slightly to a few people, and took Yang Jinzhi into the inner room, and the maid had already prepared the water to clean her hands and face.
As a result, as soon as the dish came up, Mo Youran turned his face and smiled strangely at himself, and then greeted the guests very warmly, mainly to greet Nangong Xiao, Zuo Zhan had already seen this kind of dish, and he couldn't fix him at all.
Nangong Xiao had a soft smile on his charming face, although Mo Youran changed his cold and hard expression and became extremely enthusiastic and a little strange, but he didn't have any unexpected performance, he picked up the chopsticks very elegantly, sandwiched a chopstick in a plate of red, green, and green dishes that looked very good, and then put them in...... Left to occupy the inside of the bowl.
Zuo Zhan lowered his head and glanced at it, picked it up and ate it, his face expressionless.
Nangong Xiao smiled, and put a chopstick in another plate and put it into Mo Youran's bowl: "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to greet me, I think my father will be very satisfied with this." ”
Mo leisurely bit the chopsticks in his mouth and squeaked: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Can't you see that?" Nangong Xiao spread his hands very happily: "My father seems to have a good impression of the Mo family, and very much hopes that I can marry a daughter of the Mo family. ”
"Click!" The heavy ebony chopsticks in Mo Youran's hand were clenched in two by him, he didn't know martial arts, which can be verified by God.
Nangong Xiao seemed to be very happy with his reaction, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and the next second his mouth was tightly pursed, stiffened for a moment, chewed and swallowed slowly, and silently picked up the teacup on the table and poured it: "The taste is a little peculiar, but it's acceptable." ”
There are a lot of chili peppers added to the dish, this thing was accidentally discovered by Dong Li, and I was very happy to teach the cooks how to cook, naturally, at the beginning, no one except her could accept this taste, but the spicy thing has a charm, and it felt very uncomfortable when I ate it at the beginning, but it seemed to be addictive, the more I ate, the more I liked it, and now Mo Youran and Zuo Zhan are about to become spicy and unhappy.
Although Nangong Xiao had long known that there was something strange in the meal, but the first time he came into contact with this taste, the stimulation of his taste buds was still a little unbearable, he thought it was adding something bitter or something, but he didn't expect that the whole mouth was numb after one bite, as if it was on fire.
Zuo Zhan was just acting as a bystander to this matter, and he was neither as angry as Mo Youran, nor as stimulated as Nangong Xiao, and continued to eat slowly: "Today's food is good. ”
Yang Jinzhi was naturally not treated in the same way, Dong Li had already made things clear in advance, she was obviously very cautious when trying fresh dishes, only tasted a small bite, and after making sure that she couldn't accept it, she stopped her chopsticks and specially put her chopsticks on some dishes that had not been specially seasoned.
The voices of a few people outside were not loud, Yang Jinzhi and Dong Li didn't hear it, the relationship between the two girls was not bad, but it was Xue Ming, a little thing, who noticed the conversation outside, but those human thoughts were really a bit esoteric for a small spirit who was not deeply involved in the world.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Mo family's house, Zhenbei Hou put down the tea bowl in his hand with satisfaction: "I know that the two brothers and sisters are sensible people and will not make unwise decisions." ”
Master Mo and Xu glanced at each other, their faces were very ugly, but they were very helpless, if the fact was really as Zhenbei Hou said, it would be a good thing that Dongli could marry into the Nangong family.
But as long as I think of the complicated situation of the Nangong family, I feel extremely uneasy, it is a Longtan tiger's den, once my daughter enters, it will be broken and there will be no bones, and I feel chilled when I think about it.
Xu Shi thought about it and didn't feel at ease: "Although what Hou Ye said is reasonable, but Mrs. is afraid that it is not easy to speak, in fact, we all know that Mrs. didn't like this marriage from the beginning, but she has been forced to suppress it in her heart, she is the young lady of Anguo Gong's family, if we marry in, won't we be able to live in peace every day?" ”
Especially now that there is a farce of the previous divorce, the maid is the right-hand man by Mrs. Zhenbei Hou's side, and her own family is equivalent to tearing her face with Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, isn't it even more unpopular for her daughter to marry in?
Zhenbei Hou obviously understands the thoughts of the husband and wife, and his heart is not completely silent, his husband and wife have been in a position for so many years, but there is still no tacit understanding, and even the lifelong affairs of his son have never been able to form a united front: "You don't have to worry, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is always on my shoulder, and with me for a day, I won't make Dongli suffer much crime." Of course, I can't guarantee that she won't be guilty at all, after all, I'm a man, and it's not good to meddle too much in the affairs of the inner house, but I can still save Dongli's life. ”
Master Mo and Xu glanced at each other, and finally reached a consensus, even if it is a little hard, it is better than losing your life, no matter how bad it is, there is still an old lady in the Beihou Mansion in the town, and the old lady likes Dongli very much.
Zhenbei Hou twisted the beautiful hair with one hand, faced the dark and uncertain expressions of the Mo family and his wife, and sighed slightly: "I also know that a dog is not a good match, I have also heard a lot about her these days, this child is a good child, it is a pity to give it to Xiao'er, but at the moment, there is no suitable candidate." ”
The husband and wife of the Mo family also knew that they were unwilling and helpless about this, so they could only sigh secretly, marry it, if you don't marry it, who will save your daughter? No matter how unreasonable Nangong Xiao is, at least he has great military exploits and deep holy grace, and he can't be touched by idlers.
So, without the knowledge of Mo Youran and Mo Dongli's brothers and sisters, the marriage of Dongli was finalized.
Mo Yunxiao sat in his room and carefully traced his eyebrows in the mirror, Lily opened the curtain and ran in, panting: "Miss, slave, slave heard a great news." ”
"What's the matter? In a panic, people will see it and say that I will not teach people. Mo Yunxiao frowned very dissatisfied, picked up a small brush and brushed the willow eyebrows carefully: "What's the big deal?" The Marquis of Zhenbei has lived, why can't he see the prince? ”
"That's what the slave has to say." Lily stomped her feet, and she didn't know whether she was running or in a hurry, her face was very red, and she was about to speak, but she stopped and looked at Peony: "It's better not to let others know about this." ”
Peony snorted in her nose: "Miss, the slave will go out and show you something." After saying that, he glanced at Lily, twisted his body and went out, walked to Lily's side and deliberately bumped into her.
Lily glared at the little hoof viciously and spitted: "Don't look like your heart is higher than the sky, remember your identity, we are maids, don't think you can stand up just because Miss has a good heart." ”
The corners of Mo Yunxiao's mouth twitched, these two maids seemed to have big hearts, and they began to think about some of them, if they really became a dowry maid in the future, they were afraid that some of them would be annoyed, so they would find an opportunity to hurry away: "Say, what's a big deal, don't let others hear it." ”
Only then did Lily put on a smile on her face, leaned over and whispered in Mo Yunxiao's ear and said it like this, Mo Yunxiao's eyebrows that had just been drawn suddenly wrinkled into worms: "Is this true?" ”
"Is that still fake? I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei is here for this, Miss, you have to be careful, counting, your age is just within the range. Lily said worriedly, her fingers clenched the handkerchief: "In case the lady only cares about the eldest lady at that time, you can ......"
Mo Yunxiao stroked his smooth long hair with one hand, slowly wrapped it around his fingers, his white teeth bit his red lips, and after thinking for a while, he stood up: "You continue to inquire about this matter, I will go to a few young ladies who are familiar with me, if this matter is done well, the benefits will definitely not be lost to you in the future." Don't worry, I can see clearly what you are thinking. ”
Lily's eyes widened in surprise suddenly, and she knelt down and kowtowed happily and shyly: "The slave maid has been a young lady's person all her life, and the young lady will do whatever the slave and maid say!" ”
If this is the case, Mo Yunxiao pulled out an invisible sneer at the corner of his mouth, called the peony to enter the door to serve, and the subordinates immediately began to prepare the carriage.
The girls in Qinghe Town are relatively free compared to other places, although there are also "Women's Rings" and the like as teaching materials, but they often sit in the carriage and go out to play, not in the real sense of the door without stepping out, every year in the late spring, there will be a very lively spring activities.
Mo Yunxiao is a means, only a few days after he came, he has already become a close friend with the daughters of several big families in the town, this time the news that Lily heard is not trivial, even if he is as calm as Mo Yunxiao, he can't sit still, and hurriedly went to the most powerful Li family to visit Miss Li Furong.
The Li family is a big family, and the one left in Qinghe Town is only a branch, this branch is in the capital, and there have been many high-ranking officials and magnates, and they are also tightly tied together with many powerful families through marriage, and the news is very well-informed, Li Furong is the most noble lady in the clan of Qinghe Town, if what Lily heard is true, Li Furong will definitely not be unaware.
The carriage had just left the Mofu for a short distance, and a fast horse came rushing in front of it, and the horse was rampage like a madman, and the man on the horse was so dead on the horse's back that he couldn't lift his head, allowing the crazy horse to rush towards the carriage.
The coachman tightened the reins as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, but it was still too late in time, the crazy horse had arrived in front of the carriage in the blink of an eye, and it was about to crash, Mo Yunxiao, who clearly saw everything through the window, screamed in horror, at this moment, what lady's demeanor, what upbringing, what image, all disappeared.
The horse rushed over the carriage dangerously, but at the moment of rushing over, he grabbed Mo Yunxiao from the window of the car, quickly dragged the person out of the window, threw him on the horse's back and ran away quickly.
