Chapter 68: Secret Message
It's cold outside, the snow melts very slowly, and the ink is like snow and there are injuries on the body, so I nest in the house all day long to teach the landlord of Pothos and Xia Hedou, eat and drink every day, and unconsciously my clothes are a little tight......
After Mo Ruxue was beaten for five days, someone from the General's Mansion finally came to the door to offer condolences.
Mo Ruxue had heard earlier that Mo Zifeng was going to the frontier for two months, and she didn't know if she had come back, and now it was estimated that the environment on the frontier was even more difficult this season, and she couldn't help but worry about him.
From a distance, I heard Mrs. Mo's high-pitched voice: "My poor daughter, who has been pampered since she was a child, how can she be beaten by those who killed a thousand knives?"
Mo Ruxue stroked her forehead, her head ached, she let everyone in Liuliyuan declare that she was sick, but her mother's howl inevitably made people guess again.
Mrs. Mo walked in and saw her lying on the bed unable to move, she was a little surprised, she didn't expect her to be so badly injured!
"Why do you say you're so useless, you're still a princess, why were you beaten like this! It's a shame! Aren't you pretty powerful when you slap me?"
Mo Ruxue sighed helplessly: "Yes, it's quite embarrassing, so Mrs. Mo, please go back!"
"What did you do wrong, did King Luo beat him? Your father is also a first-class member, and King Luo doesn't give us the Mo family face like this?"
Mrs. Mo sat aside and began to speculate wildly, if she hadn't made a big mistake, no one would have dared to beat her like this.
"Oops, you...... Did you do something dishonorable and be discovered by King Luo? I told you a long time ago to let you add a few concubines to him, he is busy dealing with those concubines, how can he care about you!"
Mo Ruxue glanced at her: "What can I do to be disgraceful! ”
"I have to tell your father when I go back, where he hit you, and it was our Mo family's face!"
"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with King Luo, don't you get involved in the middle, okay? Wait for me to get ready, I'll tell you when I go back, this matter is related to the emperor, you must keep your mouth shut, don't talk nonsense!"
Mo Ruxue made a head-killing gesture on her neck, which really frightened Mrs. Mo, and she nodded frequently.
"By the way, the last time I told you to ask you to get an errand for your brother, how did you inquire? Your father was completely annoyed with him, and the two fathers and sons didn't speak for a long time. ”
Mo Ruxue pouted, as far as Mo Ziye's virtue is concerned, who can see it!
I don't know what standard the Mo family cultivated at that time, but they raised him into a wasteful wreck who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it!
Mo Xu is a standard military general, so he naturally can't get used to his cowardice without temperament.
Mrs. Mo continued: "There are so many civil official positions in Kyoto, there is always one suitable for him, right? Listen to what your father said that the position of Si Shaoqing is good, why don't you talk to the prince and let him help and arrange it." ”
Mo Ruxue stroked her forehead again and sighed, as far as her talented and virtuous brother was concerned, she really couldn't open this mouth to deal with him.
"Mother, I know that there is a position that is particularly suitable for my brother, but it is still a little early to let my brother take office, let him experience a few more years in the house, and it will be almost the same when he is in his forties. ”
"Oh, I know, you mean he's too young, right, he suddenly took office, I'm afraid that people won't accept him, what you said makes sense, but our family has such a hard relationship, do you still need to be afraid of other people's rumors?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that my brother won't be able to stand it, and my mother also understands his character. ”
The last time I saw Mo Ziye crying for a concubine in the General's Mansion, the appearance of chirping made Mo Ruxue, who was a woman, feel ashamed, how could such a baby go out to work?
Madame Mo pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Well, anyway, there is no shortage of his little money at home, just let him stay first, you have to pay attention to that position, don't let others snatch it." ”
Mo Ruxue smiled: "Don't worry, no one can snatch it away! When will my brother come back, this cold day can be punished in the frontier." ”
"He'll be back in about half a month, your father has high expectations for him, and he's quite competitive, I've heard that he has defeated several provocations from small countries in the Western Regions. ”
Speaking of Mo Zifeng, Mrs. Mo had a proud look on her face. Fortunately, thanks to him, otherwise I don't know how many concubines Mo Xu would have to accept, and it took her four years to clean up those two rooms.
Mrs. Mo didn't stay long before leaving.
As soon as she left, Mo Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief, Kyoto has been a little too calm recently, Dai Duo doesn't know if he has returned to the Western Regions or is hiding in Kyoto, he is like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, and he will give people a fatal blow at any time.
"Pothos, I want to eat Fumanlou's braised elbow, you ask the little guy to order one, this dish takes a lot of effort, just let the shopkeeper deliver it in the afternoon." ”
The pothos went out in response, and Xia He's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the elbow: "Princess, the slave maid has long heard that the braised elbow in Fumanlou is delicious!"
"Don't worry, you'll have enough to eat in the afternoon!"
"Thank you, Princess, hehe!"
Mo Ruxue sometimes feels that the personalities of Xia He and Luluo are simply two extremes, and they can't say who is good and who is not, each is good in its own way.
In the afternoon, the shopkeeper of Fumanlou sent two big elbows, and when they were opened, the fragrance filled the room, and the elbows were red and bright, and the color was very attractive.
"Xia He, you take the elbow to the kitchen and cut it into small pieces first, and then bring it to me. ”
Xia He happily prepared to take the basket and Mo Ruxue called her.
"Use the tray to bring it over, put the basket there, you took the basket away, how do you explain to the shopkeeper when they go back?"
"Yes, what the princess said is reasonable, but the slave maid did not think it through, and the slave maid vacated the basket. ”
Xia He put a piece of oiled paper on the tray, took out his elbow and put it on, and happily brought it to the kitchen.
Mo Ruxue slowly got up from the bed, picked up a letter and hid it in the basket compartment, and handed the basket to the shopkeeper who was waiting outside the door.
"It's hard work, brother, take the basket. ”
A silver bun was placed in the basket as usual, and after thanking the shopkeeper for his kindness, he left happily.
Xia He cut the elbow into small pieces and brought it to Mo Ruxue's room, and Mo Ruxue asked Xia He to call both the pothos and Mama Zhang over.
It didn't take long for a big elbow to get into the stomachs of four people.
I can't eat the rest of the one, so I'll put it away first.
Mei Xiang passed by Liuliyuan when she went to get the charcoal, and she happened to hear the laughter of several people, thinking that when she went to get the charcoal just now, the tone of the housekeeper's mother was neither yin nor yang, if it wasn't for her own mother, the housekeeper's mother probably wouldn't give it to her.
In the past, everyone rushed to slap her, but now when I see her, my nose is not a nose, my face is not a face, so I just want to blast her out!
The one in the courtyard, who looked half-dead every day, sat under the window all day and shed tears for a long time when he looked at the dead flowers and trees in the yard, saying something she couldn't understand.
Mei Xiang glanced enviously at the door of Liuliyuan again, and walked towards the courtyard with heavy steps.
Fuman Building.
Shopkeeper Zhu saw the shopkeeper coming back, and greeted him with a smile: "The princess is happy to eat?
During the questioning, he quietly took the basket to his hand.
"The princess looks happy, full of smiles, evaluation, the little one didn't hear ......"
The shopkeeper scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't think about it at all.
"It's okay, you go down first!"
The shopkeeper quickly slipped away.
Shopkeeper Zhu took the basket to the back room, took out the oiled paper on the surface, and found a letter from the mezzanine inside.
"Quickly ask Ouyang to inquire about the contact information of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, I need their help with something important."
There was only this one sentence on the letter, and after reading it, Shopkeeper Zhu put it in his arms.
"Heaven and Earth Alliance......
Shopkeeper Zhu stood alone in the room and fell into deep thought, he had heard of this organization, but he was a businessman, and he had never had anything to do with this kind of person who licked blood on the knife.
Heaven and Earth Alliance - a legendary mysterious intelligence organization, there is nothing they don't know, as long as the price is reasonable, any kind of intelligence can be bought.
They also take on the tasks of various buyers, but they have a rule that they only kill the most evil.
When the shopkeeper Zhu came to the Quanfu grain store, there were few people on the street in the winter.
Ouyang Xun invited the shopkeeper Zhu to the inner room, where a charcoal fire was burning, warm as spring.
"The seventh prince has sent a letter to Brother Ouyang. ”
Shopkeeper Zhu showed the letter to Ouyang Xun, and Ouyang Xun threw it into the charcoal fire after reading it.
"Brother Ouyang, do you know anyone from the Heaven and Earth Alliance?"
"A merchant knows, maybe I can learn about it through him, but this organization is usually a dragon without seeing the end, and we may not be able to find it. I'll try it first!"
"Brother Ouyang, you must pay attention to safety, what happened last time has already scared me. ”
"Don't worry, I've added the staff of the nursing home, and the ones selected are all elites. ”
Shopkeeper Zhu sat for a while and left, Ouyang Xun looked at the four or five courtyards standing outside the door and was a little distracted, the people of the Western Regions are not dead, the long winter is coming, maybe the last incident will be repeated.
Last time, Mo Ruxue actually came to save him in person, which made him very moved, and he wanted to take this opportunity to show his heart to her, but when he saw the man next to her, he knew that he had no chance.
Hearing that the man was a prince, with a noble status and a dignified appearance, and he stood with her like a beautiful person, and they were already married, he could only bury that heart in his heart.
His mother urged him to marry every day, and he couldn't be urged recently, and he saw a few girls, but his mind was full of her shadows, and no one was pleasing to the eye, and he was stunned that none of them succeeded!
