Mo Xuetong returned to the house at noon, but Mo Huawen was not in the house.
Since the last time Mo Huawen decided to marry Xu Yan, although the betrothal gift has not yet been sent, the matter has been settled. There are more or less rumors in this house that the master is going to have a successor, although I don’t know the specific details. No, but the servants in the mansion had already seen that Mo Huawen was preparing for the betrothal gift.
Because of Lan Xinru's incident, the old lady finally let go of Mo Huawen's marriage. The servant in the mansion was fired, and Lan Xinru disappeared. Of course, Mo Xuetong didn't believe that Lan Xinru was in peace. Back home, Mo Feng went out to find out. Lan Xinru is now renting a house in Dongchengmen.
The lease term is half a year, and it seems that he plans to live in the capital for a long time!
How could she go back if she hadn't caught the golden turtle husband? But this Mo Mansion has no shame to come in again.
After Mo Xueqiong's incident happened, Mo Huawen asked Mo Xuetong to help with the housekeeping. Mo Xuetong left most of the affairs in the house to Aunt Ming and Mama Xu, and the two aunts still shared some of the responsibility. But the focus had to be on Mo Xuetong. With the help of Grandma Ming and Mother Xu, Mo Xuetong got started quickly.
However, even so, she only asked when needed. After all, Xu Yan will still be the head of the house in the future. When Xu Yan comes in, she will return the responsibility of the housekeeper to her, and now she will be an intern for a period of time. , she also served as a housekeeper for a period of time in her previous life.
Mrs. Zhenguo Hou made excuses for her poor health, so she left all the housekeeper matters to her. She was still very touched at the time and felt that Mrs. Zhen Guohou really regarded her as a daughter-in-law. It was only after the housekeeper discovered that there was something wrong with the housekeeper. Her income and expenditure were simply unbalanced. In order to avoid being blamed by Mrs. Zhenguo Hou, she even posted her own dowry money.
Later, with the help of his grandfather and father, Sima Lingyun gradually became prosperous and his income increased. Madam Zhenguo Hou took back her power as a housekeeper, on the pretext of letting her take good care of her body and give birth to a healthy child. , the incense of Chengzhen Guohou Mansion.
Now that I think about it, all of this was just for use. No one from the top to the bottom of Zhenguo Hou Mansion recognized her as the Crown Prince's wife. When the final use value was squeezed out, she was left with only the most miserable person. 's end.
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Miss, just now Grandma Ming came over and asked, the ancestral hall over there has been almost completed, and there is still a large open space next to it. Do you want to build a few wing rooms and put some sundries there like before?" Mo Lan came in and asked. .
After the fire in the ancestral hall, the area was reduced to ashes, and Mo Huawen built a larger ancestral hall in that area. After all, he is now a third-grade official, and he can build a larger ancestral hall with his official rank. It's bigger.
There were five or six wing rooms next to the ancestral hall, which were all burned down by the fire. Mo Huawen only talked about building the ancestral hall, but nothing else. A large area was left vacant in that direction, and even the trees were burned. It was clean and very unsightly when it was bare. Aunt Ming looked at it and pointedly reported it back and forth to Mo Xuetong.
"Tell Aunt Ming that we just need to build a few wing rooms in the ground floor and plant a few trees. It just needs to be done quickly. After a while, if my father marries a new wife, he will have to go to the ancestral hall to worship his mother. After a while, It’s too late.”
Mo Xuetong thought for a while and said.
It is the rule of the Qin Dynasty that the successor Xian must perform the concubine ceremony with the first wife. Moreover, the successor Xian is not like the first wife. The three matchmakers and six betrothals do not have to stay for a year and a half. The current situation in the Mo Mansion cannot allow this time to be too long. Mo Xuetong estimated that after the first month of the lunar month, her father would officially apply to the Fuguo Duke's Mansion.
After entering the temple, it is necessary to pay homage to the ancestral hall. Although the building of the wing will not take too long, it still needs to be painted, and it will take a while until the paint is dry before it can be used.
"Mother Ming said that if we rebuild the wing, we might be running out of time. We may need to work on it at night. I don't know if it will disturb the young lady, and the two young ladies over there may also be affected." Mo. Lan said hesitantly.
When she said this, Mo Xuetong remembered that the ancestral hall was close to the back door, but connected to his Qingwei Garden on the other side, so they could be considered neighbors. The yard where Mo Xueqiong and Mo Xuemin lived was a bit far away, but Now they have been moved to a remote place by Mo Huawen, which happens to be within that area. The secret construction of the ground will definitely affect them.
"Ask Nanny Ming to tell the eldest lady. The fourth lady will tell you what my father said. We need to rush to build the ancestral hall. There may be some noises coming out, and outsiders may come in. Let the two young ladies keep an eye on the people in their own yard." Mo Xuetong thought for a while and said, it's not just the sound problem, but also the matter of servants entering the backyard. If they don't explain clearly, if something goes wrong, it will fall on her.

"Yes, I will go and tell Aunt Ming right now." Mo Lan responded and retreated.
After lunch, Xu's mother asked someone to come back and tell her that the master said yesterday that he would bring in some cloth to celebrate the new year and make some clothes for every servant in the house. He asked Mo Xuetong how to choose.
His father hasn't returned home yet, and he can't talk to him about some matters. Thinking that he has nothing to do in the afternoon, Mo Xuetong asked Mo Yu to tell Mother Xu that he would leave the house once in the afternoon to pick up some cloth and bring it into the house. The sewing team can first prepare for people's tailoring.
Mo Lan stayed in the house to take care of affairs for Mo Xuetong, and Mo Xuetong took Mo Ye and Mo Yu out.
Since entering the capital, Mo Xuetong has only gone out a handful of times, and each time she is not alone. This time she only brought two maids, Mo Yu and Mo Ye. Both of them had eyes shining brightly and eyebrows flying. He got on the carriage excitedly.
Mo's carriage was not luxurious, but it was very spacious and comfortable inside. The seats were cushioned with thick cushions, and there was a small charcoal basin in the middle. The charcoal fire inside was burning brightly. Mo Yu supported Mo Xuetong on the He sat down inside and said with a smile: "Miss, where should we go first?"
"Let's go to Yiyi Pavilion. I heard that the cloth in that place is very suitable for the public. You should be able to choose suitable materials." Mo Xuetong casually picked up the book next to him, flipped through it and said with a smile.
Mo Ye gave an order and the carriage moved smoothly.
"Young lady is really amazing. Even the Yiyi Pavilion knows about it. I heard that many wealthy families order the clothing materials for their people there." Mo Yu looked at Mo Xuetong with admiration.
Mo Xuetong smiled but did not answer, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
How could she not know that in her previous life, all the clothes for the servants in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion were custom-made by her, but the money for the clothes came from her own pocket. She remembers that one time during the Chinese New Year, because she was so honest Unable to pay, I took the bill to the yard of Mrs. Zhen Guohou. Before I arrived, I met Aunt Tian next to her. She just said that the wife was not in good health and told her not to go to pay her respects.
For five or six days in a row, she just didn't see Mrs. Zhen Guohou, and Yiyige's orders for money came again and again. She had no choice but to sell one of her stores at a low price, and she could barely scrape together the money. , paid the bill for the clothes, and on the day she paid the bill, Mrs. Zhen Guohou's health got better!
The illness is timely, and the recovery is really timely!
It’s just that my eyes were blinded at that time!
There are indeed a lot of materials in Yiyi Pavilion. The upper and lower floors are all ordinary popular clothing materials, but the styles are good. Mo Xuetong picked some and paid money on the spot and asked the people in Yiyi Pavilion to deliver the fabrics to him. In the mansion, Mo Ye and Mo Lan went to the bookstore next to them.
The medical book I saw at Bai Yihao's place in the morning was very good. It not only contained the usage of herbal medicines, but also the appearance and growth of some herbs. Mo Xuetong mainly studied medicine by himself, and he also learned it in his previous life. Although I have free time to study in this life, I have no one to guide me. If there is such a detailed medical book, it would be the best.
The carriage stopped at the street corner in front of the bookstore. Mo Xuetong put on his curtain hat and got out of the carriage with Mo Yu and Mo Ye.
There are not many people in the bookstore. This bookstore mainly sells books on medical tools, and occasionally there are a few contemporary story books, collections of classics, etc. Maybe it is because during the Chinese New Year, everyone is busy having fun.
Mo Xuetong rummaged through the shelf of medical books for a long time, and she found one that was quite similar to Bai Yihao's. Although the corners of the book were damaged, they were not serious.
"Miss, this book has been ordered by someone. Please choose another one." The shopkeeper is an old man in his fifties, very bookish. Seeing that Mo Xuetong is holding this book, he is embarrassed. The way.
"How could it be? If it has been sold, why is it still here? Isn't this deliberately deceiving people?" Mo Yu was unhappy. His lady had just browsed for a long time before taking a fancy to it, so she must have liked it very much.
"Because this book is extremely rare, even though the book has not yet been decided, some doctors and doctors want to come and copy it. There was one who was copying here just now. There may be something going on. I didn't have time to say it, so I was a little anxious. Put the books on the shelves," the shopkeeper explained.
"Shopkeeper, how about we sell it for three times the price?" Mo Ye said standing aside.
"It's really not possible. I don't dare to violate the book I ordered from that company!" The shopkeeper looked uncompromising, "I can't sell it to you even if I add ten times more."
"Shopkeeper, can this book be copied?" Seeing the fierce argument here, Mo Xuetong turned to the bookcase and asked gently: "If it can be copied, can you let me copy it too?"
"There is no problem if this lady wants to copy, but I don't know when that person will come to get it. If she comes to pick it up, the lady will not be able to finish the copy." The shopkeeper is not an unkind person, but I think of that person's temperament. , is really casual and moody, who knows when I suddenly want it.
"The shopkeeper just wants me to copy it. Thank you very much. No matter whether you can finish the copying or not, it's good to copy some." Mo Xuetong sat down at the table near the window, and Mo Yu spread the paper for her. , pressed the paperweight, and Mo Ye was already grinding ink for her on the other side. Seeing her determination, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything more, and just asked the waiter in the shop to serve tea.
Time passed little by little, and Mo Xuetong was still sitting at the table. He had been transcribing for nearly two hours. Because he didn't know when others would come to pick it up, he only copied some that he thought were useful to him, and even used graphic drawings on some uncommon ones. Later, because her appearance was ruined, she spent all her time painting and playing the piano. (To be continued)
