Chapter 279: I've Disappointed You
Because of His Majesty's holy decree, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, which was originally far away from the royal family's favor, instantly became an upstart in Haojing.
Although Qi Mo inherited the holy decree with his brother, the taste in his heart was mixed.
The glory earned by the Marquis of Jing'an because of his father's death on the battlefield was easily crowned Yongding Marquis by his second brother.
In contrast, he is even more nondescript.
"I didn't know that the second brother was capable," he suppressed the envy and sourness in his heart, only stroked a well-groomed beard, lifted his lips and smiled, "In the past, I only looked at your uncertain nature and willfulness, but I didn't want to, the second brother actually had the ambition of his father." If my father had a spirit in heaven, he would have rejoiced and rejoiced. β
"Big brother praises, but it's just a fluke." Qi Mojing didn't say much, and only asked the prince and the old lady to go to Rong'an Hall together.
The smile on his face didn't seem to be fake, but it seemed to be a little satisfied as if his wish had been fulfilled, "Thanks to His Royal Highness's refusal to give up, I actually came to visit in person today, why don't I take a break here, so I can taste the craftsmanship of the chef of the Marquis of Jing'an." β
Xiao Jian had intended to raise Qi Mojing, and he would not refute his words, so he said "bother", so he went to the mansion with Qi Mojing.
Although it was only half a day, the news of the prince Xiao Jian's visit to Qi Mojing spread in the capital of Yingjing, and for a while, the eldest lady received more greetings than a carp crossing the river, which was unspeakable.
Shi Jin hid in Qingfeng Courtyard to do needlework, and when he heard the news that Kite handed to him, his face showed a little trance.
"Sister Shi Jin, Your Majesty has married the second master and Princess Jinxin of Da Mu Co, so are you not in a hurry?" The kite was a little indignant.
In the past, I saw that the second master had a deep love for Shi Jin, but I didn't expect it to be a flash in the pan.
Shi Jin thoughtfully.
It's not that she hasn't been in Damco, she knows that Damco doesn't have a Jinxin princess, only a princess Liangyu who has been trapped in Durle all the year round.
"I see." She lowered her eyes and smiled, as if she had seen the second master's plan.
"How can you still laugh?! When the princess of Jinxin enters the door, there is a time for you to cry. The kite poked Shi Jin's arm, looking quite indignant.
Shi Jin's eyes bent, "The princess is golden and noble, and she won't be embarrassed by my little girl." β
At this moment, not only Kite, but also Zhihua sighed, and each glanced at it, and they all saw the sigh of "this girl is stupid" in each other's eyes.
No matter what they said, Shi Jin only stood still, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, and he didn't take this matter to heart.
However, after only doing needlework for a while, Shi Jin became a little dizzy. She has been disturbed by dreams for the past few days, and her spirit is shorter, and the afternoon is just right, she is confused by the warm sun, and the sleepiness is aroused a little more.
In the end, he didn't care about Kite and Zhihua, so he only said forgiveness and went back to rest.
.
On the other side, when she finally sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away, the old lady's face became worse with the naked eye.
"Come with me!" She faced Qi Mojing directly, with a look of annoyance in her eyes, but she reluctantly suppressed it, and walked towards the ancestral hall step by step with a cane.
"Second brother......" Although Qi Mo didn't feel good in his heart, he still had some fear.
He and Qi Mojing are brothers, and they know their mother's persistence. Over the years, the old lady refused to let the two of them practice martial arts, in order not to repeat the mistakes of Jing'anhou.
Although Qi Mo has had a close relationship with the literati and elegant guests in Haojing City over the years, and has done a lot of ridiculous things, he has complied with the old lady's wishes, obediently inherited the title of the Marquis of Jing'an, and struggled to maintain the slight glory of the noble children.
However, Qi Mojing was born with a backbone, although he also claimed to be a literati, in the end, he was not under the control of the old lady.
It's good now, it's only been more than half a year since I went out, not only Luo Cheng has also broken through, but he has also made a name for himself.
Qi Mojing nodded at the eldest brother, his steps were calm, and he followed the old lady not far away, and entered the ancestral hall with her.
When the old lady heard the holy decree, although the turmoil in her heart was huge, she was not completely confused, and she did not dare to count Qi Mojing in front of the nobles of the heavenly family.
But at this time, the noble man had left, and the anger and fear in her heart came in waves, and she almost couldn't stand.
Qi Mojing saw that her mother was unstable and was about to help her, but she pushed her away.
She walked a few steps quickly and stepped into the ancestral hall, only then did she completely put down her face and coldly reprimanded, "Kneel!" β
Qi Mojing obediently knelt along the futon, kowtowed in a proper manner, and entered the incense again, so he knelt straight on the spot.
"You're so daring! Breaking into Luocheng alone, and pointing at the king with a different surname, you are not afraid of getting into trouble, don't you even care about the entire Jing'an Hou Mansion? ! The old lady's chest rose and fell in anger, and she pointed at him and shouted angrily.
"When the child was born, the father was killed in battle. Later, all the merits of my father came from the mouths of others. Qi Mojing looked ahead, looked at the tablet of Lao Jing Anhou, and said word by word, "At that time, the child thought that his father was so brave and fearless, even the child also had a glorious face. Mother is so secretive, is it possible, just to avoid causing trouble?! β
"People say that the tiger father has no dogs, but the mother is bent on burying my two brothers. Child," he said, with a cold look in his eyes, "unwilling! Also, unwillingly! β
"You !!" The old lady was annoyed by what he said, "Your father was so ambitious back then, but where is he now?" Wasn't he shot into a sieve by the enemy, and in the end, the old body still collected the body with him?! He is good, he has fulfilled the righteousness of his family and country, leaving us orphans and widows alone, how have he spent all these years?! β
When she said this, she seemed to remember what had happened before, and she couldn't help but feel sad from it, and her face was full of old tears.
Qi Mojing was not afraid that the old lady would be angry, but he was afraid that she would cry like this.
He wanted to get up to comfort the old lady, but she reprimanded him again, and had to kneel again, only holding his head high, refusing to give in to half a point.
"Mother has the truth of mother, but the child is the blood of Jing'anhou, and he has the blood of his father in his bones. The mother knew that since the child fell into the water at the age of fifteen, he had a ridiculous and ridiculous dream every day. β
He chuckled, "In the child's dream, the eldest brother does not fight or grab, and the child secretly practices martial arts, and also obeys the instructions of his mother who does not enter the official career. But does my mother know that the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion has no quarrel with the world, but it is still trampled into pulp? The princes are fighting, the people are displaced, the family is upside down, and all industries are in ruins, let's Jing'an Hou Mansionββ"
There was some desolation in his voice, "Two hundred and thirty-one mouths, all of them were slaughtered, and none of them were spared. β
The old lady was crying, and when she heard her son's words, she was frightened, but she still opened her mouth and stammered, "...... It was just a dream......"
Qi Mojing lowered his head, "For my mother, it's just a dream. But as far as your son is concerned, seeing that his relatives have dissipated, how can you accuse your son of saving the Hou Mansion and the general? β
When he said this, he simply let go and said, "Maybe my mother doesn't know that Ti Qisi is an assassination organization established by her son, and the Jing'an Hou Mansion has been living smoothly all these years, how do you know how much blood is stained with her son's hands?" β
Qi Mojing's cold and bloodthirsty eyes stared at his mother, and when he saw her hunched down in a corner under his words, he lifted the corners of his lips, "...... In the end, it was ...... that disappointed my mother."
