The Qin family and the Yu family came together this time, but in fact the Qin family was the main one, and the Yu family only came with the eldest man of the Yu family, his eldest wife Chen, and the eldest lady Yu Si of the Yu family. Rong, two more carriages from Yufu followed Qinfu's carriage, but the other people from Yufu did not enter Beijing.
After arriving in Beijing, there was no immediate contact as Aunt Fang said.
Mo Xuemin was sick. She was so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed. Mo Huawen had to release Aunt Fang and let her live in Fuqing Hospital to take care of Mo Xuemin who was seriously ill...
Rumors first started in twos and threes, and then spread. Rumors were spread in the streets and alleys. Even some matrons of aristocratic families would talk to each other when they met.
The eldest daughter who was born as a concubine in the Mo Mansion wanted to climb high, from secretly having an affair with Sima Lingyun of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, to when the eldest daughter Mo climbed into the King of Chu's bed regardless of shame, and was thrown off the bed by the King of Chu...
The rumors became more and more unpleasant. Mo Huawen was angry and anxious when he heard them, but he had no choice but to restrain Mo Xuemin and lock her in the inner courtyard. He wanted to wait for a while and then talk about it after the rumors subsided, but the rumors did not stop. Retreating only made matters worse. The two stewards of the house came to Mo Huawen crying and crying every day, asking for justice for their daughter.
Mo Xuemin couldn't explain the situation clearly at that time, which made Mo Huawen and Mo Huawen very upset. It took a lot of money to calm down the Mo Jin incident in the house.
The Duke of Fuguo sent another letter urging Mo Xuetong to go there, and Mo Huawen personally took Mo Xuetong to the Duke of Fuguo.
Mo Huawen also followed all the etiquette when he came to the house this time. He accompanied Mo Xuetong in and kowtowed to Mrs. Xu. Then he accompanied Mo Xuetong to the garden where he was sitting, and arranged all the items he had brought. Tong will live in Luo's house for a while, and Mo Huawen is worried, fearing that she won't be used to living there, so he specially ordered people to bring her favorite furnishings in the house out of season.
Although Mrs. Xu was not very satisfied with this son-in-law, she understood Mo Huawen's love for Tong'er and was quite happy in her heart, so even if she wasn't happy, she turned a blind eye and just pretended not to know.
Seeing that the garden was almost decorated, Mo Huawen agreed to Mo Xuetong's coquettishness to visit her every once in a while, and then went to the front hall under Mo Xuetong's reluctant gaze. The eldest master Fu Guogong is not in the capital, but the second master of the Luo family is, waiting for him in the front hall.
Mo Huawen had been to the Luo family's yard before, but he never came again after he took Luo Xia to Yuncheng to take office. After that, he returned to the capital, and because of the rift between the two families, it was even more impossible to come here. Naturally, at this time Not familiar with him either, Mo Lan led him out through the garden.
As soon as she left Mo Xuetong's garden, she heard a burst of laughter coming from behind the rockery. She knew it was the female family member of Luo Mansion. Although the two families were relatives, it was unreasonable to meet without introduction. She wanted to stand still. At the edge of the rockery, Mo Lan was asked to move slowly over. After he stood still, a figure suddenly appeared from the other side and bumped into him.
Mo Huawen was a civil servant, so he naturally had no time to react. He was actually bumped into someone, and he couldn't see the person clearly. He swayed a few times, subconsciously hugged the figure, and the two of them fell to the ground together.
"Hey, who are you? Let go of our lady." The maid's voice sounded. Mo Huawen let go hurriedly. Mo Lan was also startled and came over to help Mo Huawen. There were several maids nearby. He helped up a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes. Mo Huawen took a rough look. She was about twenty years old. She was too embarrassed to take a closer look. She took two steps back, bowed deeply, said "I'm sorry," and turned around to leave. .
He didn't know who this person was, and thinking that Luo Mansion didn't seem to have any unmarried daughters around the age of twenty, fortunately, these things didn't bother him.
"Who is this?" Xu Yan was helped up and when he saw a handsome and gentle man opposite him, he blushed and stepped aside to watch him leave and asked the maid next to him softly.
Mo Huawen was only in his thirties. He was handsome and had a gentle attitude. It was the right time for a man to be handsome. When he bumped into someone, he didn't act like an ordinary protégé. He looked around and had a calm attitude. Upright and calm, it is very popular, especially for a woman like Xu Yan who considers herself to be solemn. She fell in love with her as soon as she saw her. She didn't care about her shyness at the moment and spoke with a pretty face.
"I'm afraid this is the uncle of the Duke of Fu!" The maid who was following her replied uncertainly. This morning, people in the mansion said that the uncle and cousin were coming over. Since this man can get in, The inner court must be close relatives.
"Is this Cousin Luo Xia's uncle?" Xu Yan blinked and asked with a blush. Cousin Luo Xia's husband had long been heard to be a talented man. He was handsome. He was once married to Cousin Luo Xia. She can be regarded as a handsome man and a good-looking woman. It was a good story for a while. It is said that this cousin-in-law is very talented. The house where Xu Yan lives now is close to the yard where Luo Xia lives. When he is bored, he often goes to his cousin's house to look for books. look.
In my cousin's house, I occasionally see a few calligraphy pieces left by my cousin's husband. The handwriting is proud and the poems are beautiful, worthy of a good calligraphy! Although I have never met this cousin-in-law, I still long for having such a brilliant husband-in-law like my cousin-in-law. The poems echo the words, and my life is not in vain. Thinking of this, my face becomes redder and redder.
"It seems so. Miss, please wait a moment. Look, that is the girl who sent my uncle out just now. It seems that she is not from the house. I will go and find out." Looking at the appearance of my young lady, the maid who followed Xu Yan If you don't understand, Mo Lan suggested after pointing.
"Isn't this bad?" Xu Yan blushed and pinched the handkerchief in her hand, unable to raise her head for a moment, thinking that it was inappropriate for an unmarried woman to inquire about other men's affairs.
"It's okay, I didn't say that the young lady wanted to inquire." The maid was also knowledgeable, so she volunteered and walked over, and started talking to Mo Lan in a familiar manner.
Glancing at Xu Yan who was standing not far away, Mo Lan was no stranger to him. He was talking to the maid about Mo Huawen affectionately and without any thought, and only praised Mo Huawen as being rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth. He is truly a gentleman, a romantic and talented man, he is deeply affectionate to his wife and loves his daughter very much, he is gentle and noble, and he is elegant in talent and learning! He deserves to be an excellent and personable husband.
Xu Yan, who was waiting aside, could not even lift his head as he heard this, tugging at his handkerchief. His face was hot and his heart was beating.
When Mo Lan returned to the yard, she happened to catch up with Luo Mingzhu coming over to talk about what happened last night. She didn't reply first, opened the curtain and came out, asked the maid to be more attentive, turned around and walked out of the garden to replace him. The young lady went to thank the old lady.
"Cousin, where did you go after the last banquet? I wanted to go back with you, but when I turned around, I couldn't see anyone." Luo Mingzhu was still talking about the flower viewing banquet.
"Second cousin didn't attend the banquet tonight?" Seeing Luo Mingzhu's genuine concern, Mo Xuetong raised a gentle smile on her lips and asked with a smile. As far as she knew, the main candidate for the prince's concubine was a young lady from the four major princes' houses. She will definitely stay. There is only one young lady in Luo Mansion, Luo Mingzhu. How could she be allowed to leave first.

"I participated. I originally wanted to go with my cousin, but then my cousin disappeared. If I wanted to go back, I received the Queen's order and I couldn't leave. If I had known better, I would have left first." Luo Mingzhu looked depressed. , there is no joy at all because of running for the crown princess.
"Isn't the dinner fun? I heard that there will be a talent show for the young lady. What did the second cousin perform?" Mo Xuetong glanced at Luo Mingzhu's face and knew that the second cousin was not very happy, but she didn't know what was wrong. This second cousin was angry. Everyone knew the choice of the prince's concubine. Those who could participate in the banquet last night were the ones most likely to win. Why did Luo Mingzhu become unhappy
"What fun!" Luo Mingzhu said wistfully, suddenly thinking of something, she blushed, took the handkerchief and twisted it twice, curled her lips and said, "I just played the piano, but your eldest sister is very popular. The sound of the musical instrument attracted several princes."
Mo Xuemin really didn't miss any place to show off her talents, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In her previous life, her father used methods to force this matter to be sealed up, so Mo Xuemin was depressed for a few days, but she will still be expensive in the future. Mo Xuemin is a talented girl with a good reputation among young ladies. In this life, Mo Xuemin will take advantage of every opportunity. However, she will not be so successful in this life. She will knock Mo Xuemin down from the peak of the limelight little by little...
"No matter what I do, the eldest sister can't possibly steal the attention of all the princes. But the second cousin seems to have a crush on a certain prince. Could it be that the eldest sister has also stolen the limelight from the second cousin?" Seeing Luo Mingzhu's depressed look, Mo Xuetong teased. He said, this cousin didn't seem to have married any prince in her previous life, so she probably had no chance of joining the palace, but looking at Luo Mingzhu's look, it was clear that she had a goal.
"No way, don't talk nonsense." Luo Mingzhu's face turned red on the spot after Mo Xuetong hit her mind. She stood up and tried to pinch Mo Xuetong's face.
Just as she was smiling, Mo Lan came back, opened the door curtain and came in, saying that the old lady asked the two young ladies to go over. There was a reward from the palace and the two young ladies should take it.
"Me too?" Mo Xuetong was startled for a moment, pointed at herself and asked in confusion. Although she smiled on her face, she was secretly wary in her heart. She didn't even see the queen's face, so how could she have a gift? Besides, the queen's face that day was His behavior is obviously abnormal, but half a month has passed and no news has come out. Could it be that I guessed wrong.
"The father-in-law who brought the reward said that it was originally going to be sent to the Mo Mansion, but when he heard that the young lady was here, he skipped the trip and simply stayed at the Fuguo Mansion. The eldest lady was present last time, but After all, the young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Mo Mansion, so this reward is given to the young lady, and this face is also given to the Mo Mansion. No matter how hard a concubine acts, she cannot get past the legitimate daughter. The old lady also said that it is just right, this Hui Zheng was happily entertaining the father-in-law beside the queen in the hall, asking the two ladies to go and thank him quickly." Mo Lanxiao explained clearly in a few words, and it was thanks to her clarity of speech that she spoke so long.
"Cousin, you are such a sweet girl. You are so smart. Fortunately, she didn't say a word in reply." After listening to her tirade, Luo Mingzhu also chuckled, especially thinking of Mo Xuemin doing so much, to In the end, I got the advantage of my cousin. She was not in a bad mood, so she couldn't help but joke about Mo Lan.
"Second cousin knows how to make fun of Tong'er. Why don't you replace the maid next to you with Mo Lan and see if the one next to you is the smart one? I'm afraid I would have asked for you already!" The door curtain opened, Luo Mingzhu's eldest maid Yuyan walked in happily. Just as she was talking to her, everyone in the room stared at her when she came in. She blushed in confusion and simply kept her words in her heart. She was so cute. He came over and stood behind Luo Mingzhu.
"Look, I don't have any good news to tell to my second cousin alone, and I don't intend to let us share it." Mo Xuetong smiled and narrowed her eyes, pulling Mo Lan straight away, insisting that Luo Mingzhu say let her go. Huan inquired about what was going on, which made Luo Mingzhu blush and Mo Xuetong yawn.
Mo Xuetong was small and frail, and couldn't stand up to Luo Mingzhu. After a while, she collapsed in Luo Mingzhu's arms and begged for mercy, until she didn't dare to do it anymore!
After fussing for a while, they realized that there were people waiting outside and couldn't bear to worry about it. They sorted out the messy clothes under the service of the maid, and the two of them took the maid to the courtyard where the old lady lived.
Following Luo Mingzhu, Mo Xuetong's expression slowly became solemn, and she felt uneasy. Why would the queen think of her, the daughter of a fifth-rank imperial official, for no reason, and why would she send a gift to the Fuguo Duke's mansion at such an inappropriate time? , it was Mo Xuemin who was present, but it was she who gave the gift. Even if the two of them were a concubine and a concubine, it was impossible for the queen to pass the concubine's reward to her concubine.
Of course she didn't believe that the queen would make a mistake and mix up such nonsense. What was the reason why the aloof queen, who had never interacted with her in her previous life, thought of her...
It was the same day at the flower viewing banquet that day, the rich ladies whom the emperor met privately, fisted their hands slightly at the bottom of their sleeves! (To be continued)
