Aunt Hua has been the old lady's dowry since she was a child, and her affection is different from others. When she saw everyone running away, she said.
"Old lady, don't be anxious. I see that the eldest lady is also a smart person. She will plan for herself. Just now when Madam Zhen Guohou was talking to you inside, Mo Xiu next to the eldest lady took care of the prince in the yard. I asked him to leave, I am afraid that the eldest lady herself has something to say to the prince. It is said that the prince and the eldest lady have a good relationship on weekdays. Mrs. Hou also likes the eldest lady. From time to time, she asks the prince to bring some food to the eldest lady. It will not happen. I really want to wrong the eldest lady."
Aunt Hua comforted the old lady's heart.
If there are two concubines in the mansion, how will the girls of Mo Mansion get married in the future!
The old lady was so angry just now because Mrs. Zhen Guohou only agreed to Mo Xuemin as her concubine. She kept saying that if Mo Xuetong also married into the Hou Mansion, the sisters would have someone to take care of her. The concubine's involvement is unclear, and she is still thinking about the legitimate daughter of the Mo family. How can the old lady not be angry, when the daughter of the Mo family is so worthless that she sells one and gets two free.
Now after hearing what Aunt Hua said, she slowly calmed down. She picked up the newly brewed flowers and took a sip. Her face was gloomy and her brows were furrowed. She asked, "How did Prince Sima look when he came back?" how?"
"After the prince came back, he stood in the yard with his head lowered. His expression could not be seen clearly. He walked around twice in the yard angrily, and then kicked a boy who was following him. Others There's nothing unusual about it." Grandma Hua was standing in the corridor at that time. Although she couldn't see Sima Lingyun's expression clearly, she could clearly see his movements.
This shows that Sima Lingyun was very upset at that time.
"Is it true that Min'er and Sima Lingyun have an affair?" The old lady's face flickered under the light, and she couldn't see clearly, and her eyes were gloomy.
"It seems a little bit like that, but Mrs. Zhen Guohou is also surprised. She doesn't always think about the eldest lady on weekdays. Why does the eldest lady really want to marry her and become like this?" Grandma Hua took a closer look at the old lady's face. Looking at her face, she felt that she was not as angry as before, so she mentioned it cautiously.
"Hmph, I'm afraid she does it just for show. She must have set her sights on Tong'er a long time ago! That's right, if you don't marry a good legitimate daughter, how can you marry a concubine as your wife?" The old lady is not a stupid person. At this time, he also figured it out, curled his lips and sneered, saying that he loves Mo Xuemin so much just to deepen the relationship between the two houses. The real target is of course the legitimate daughter.

"The eldest lady is smart. Moreover, the eldest lady has always had a good reputation. Even if she becomes the wife of the Prince of Zhenguo, it is not too high. I heard from the uncle in the mansion that the emperor's appointment will come in the next two days. When the time comes, the eldest lady will Not only is she the daughter of a fifth-grade imperial official, but marrying the heir apparent is not a big problem." Aunt Hua said softly while considering her words, looking at the old lady's face.
The old lady's face was quite normal, although the shadow under the lamp was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, making her look a little more gloomy. After a while, she said,
"Min'er is really a smart person, but she used it in the wrong place. No wonder she said that to me during the day. There is really nothing in this house that she doesn't know." The old lady said coldly.
"Doesn't she have Aunt Fang in this house? I heard that before you came, this Aunt Fang was very windy and rainy. It is said that Aunt Fang was the separated daughter of the Yu family. This To be honest, being a main wife is not difficult." Aunt Hua said with a smile.
"Humph, you have to have that fate. Okay, don't worry about it now. Let's wait until Hua Wen comes back to make a decision. After all, she is his daughter and I can't make the decision." The old lady said angrily. The old lady was also a shrewd person. Yes, let’s put this together beforehand, so there’s nothing I can’t figure out.
In these matters, Mo Xuemin will never be clean!
She really had no choice but to care about a concubine with evil thoughts!
"Old lady, look at what you said, you are not the only one in this house, the uncle has to listen to you, right? But it is really late today, so now, you should rest first, don't hurt your body, wait for the uncle It's not too late to discuss it when we get back. If the eldest lady is interested, she can ask the Marquis of Zhenguo to let go." Aunt Hua smiled and took off the hairpin from the old lady's hand, combed her long hair with a comb, and got ready to go to bed.
"Forget it, me, as long as no one deceives me again, it doesn't matter if she's big or small. Why is this little girl so vicious, even her own sisters are plotted against her."
"The young lady who grew up in front of the old lady is still docile. Look at Miss Yan, and then look at Miss Min. Old lady, you should still worry about your obedient granddaughter!"
"Yes, you can't worry about everything when you get old, right! And some people don't agree even if they worry about it!"
"Where is Miss Third?" Grandma Hua asked.
"Forcing her to copy scriptures, how could it be that she has nothing to do with it!" the old lady said irritably. Not a single decent liberal arts student, according to her, must learn the rules carefully.
The incident in the Mo Mansion spread throughout the capital early in the morning. This kind of thing would have passed away and left traces. As long as the Mo family and the Zhenguo Hou Mansion recognized the matter and worked together to suppress it, it would not be a big deal. Even if Mo Xuemin's reputation suffered in the end, but marrying Sima Lingyun was not a big loss.
But now, because the two governments have not reached an agreement, the Mo Mansion asked the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion to cede the position of the Crown Prince's wife. The Zhenguo Marquis Mansion only agreed to take her as a concubine, so no one tried to suppress the rumors. There was no one in charge in the Mo Mansion. It was true. There was nothing he could do, but the Zhenguo Hou Mansion was also silent, which made the good people talk more and more.
Because the rumors were not suppressed, they spread more and more fiercely and became more and more unfavorable to the Mo Mansion. After all, Da Qin's requirements for women were much stricter than men.
Luo Mingzhu arrived at Mo Mansion early in the morning. The person at the door only said coldly that the third lady was not feeling well, so he wanted to send her back. Thinking of what Mo Xuemin said yesterday, Luo Mingzhu relied on the young lady from Fuguogong Mansion to act arrogantly. After a while, he and his maids and servants broke into Mo Mansion.
When I arrived at Mo Xuetong's Qingwei Garden, I discovered that Mo Xuetong had been punished to copy scriptures last night and had not slept a wink until now. When she saw Luo Mingzhu come in, she fainted before she could say a few words.
Luo Mingzhu quit. On the one hand, she asked someone to bring a message to her grandmother. On the other hand, she slept with Mo Xuetong. She also asked the doctor to see a doctor, which made the already troubled Mo Mansion even more chaotic. The old lady was surprised by Qingwei early in the morning. When I came to the garden, before I could sit down, Mrs. Xu came angrily.
Old Mrs. Xu is a man with a destiny, but the old lady has nothing to say. Old Mrs. Xu didn’t say to sit down, so she really couldn’t sit down. Mother Hua supported the old lady and said good things to make Old Mrs. Xu calm down.
Aunt Hua explained that the root cause of this incident was yesterday. Yesterday, the third lady came out of the ancestral hall privately, and something like that happened again. The old lady was so angry that she ordered her to copy scriptures at night.
After that, I was arguing with Madam Zhen Guohou about the eldest lady. After the argument, I was in a bad mood, and I was getting older. I had long forgotten that the third lady was still copying scriptures. Of course, even if she thought about it, she would not let her stop. , I didn’t expect that her body was so weak, and she fainted again after just one night.
Such a thing happened, and the auxiliary father-in-law came to investigate. Now he is standing aside. No one cares about her at such an old age. The old lady is ashamed and angry, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Mo Xuetong When he woke up at the right time, he had someone show the old lady her seat first, and then comforted the old lady with soft words and said she was fine. She took the whole matter into her own hands, so the old lady didn't get angry on the spot.
However, even so, the old lady did not give the old lady a good look. He hugged Mo Xuetong and called him a child that no one cares about. Finally, he chatted with the old lady with a straight face for a long time, meaning that if Mo Mansion continued Luo Mansion doesn't mind raising children for Mo Mansion by bullying a motherless child like this.
This is the most unacceptable thing for the old lady. If outsiders knew that the Mo Mansion could not even afford a legitimate daughter, the entire Mo Mansion would be shameless. It could be said that the old lady missed her unseen granddaughter when she stayed there a while ago. If he stayed here for another ten days and a half, Mo Mansion would still have the nerve to associate with other mansions.
She immediately patted her chest and promised that such a thing would never happen again. After repeated assurances, Mrs. Xu took Luo Mingzhu and left with satisfaction.
Mo Huawen returned to the house in the afternoon and met the old lady in the backyard. Before he could say a few words, the imperial edict arrived. Mo Huawen immediately went to the front to set up the incense table to receive the edict.
The metaphor of the imperial edict is very peaceful. It is said that Duke Wen is loyal and patriotic. He has been diligent and willing for many years and is a capable official. The emperor's holy heart is so comforted that he was promoted to three ranks in succession, from the original fifth rank to the third rank, and was granted the title of Beijing. Zhao Yin.
The rank was upgraded to three levels in a row, and Jing Zhaoyin was awarded the title of a real official. This honor has never been achieved before. This represents not only a third-level position, but also a first- and second-level official in the Qin Dynasty. , he is not a particularly high-ranking official from the third level, but to be promoted to three levels in a row and become an official with real power and position, the meaning of this requires people to experience it before he can understand it.
Mo Huawen used to be a fifth-rank petty official, not the number one figure in the capital, but he was a close minister of the emperor. It is said that Mo Huawen was an old friend of Emperor Zongwen when he was in Qidian, and he had always been very popular with Emperor Zongwen. He is respected, because as a fifth-grade official, he is not the same as other fifth-grade officials.
Emperor Zongwen would always call him if something happened.
This time, he had the honor of being promoted to the third level in a row. Some people with keen reactions came to Mo Mansion to congratulate him as soon as the imperial edict left. For a while, congratulations were heard in the front yard. Mo Huawen was very busy. The banquet was held for ten banquets. The family and servants had not been so lively for a long time, and everyone was busy inside and outside.
The rumor was suppressed invisibly, but the situation became more and more undercurrent underneath!
Qingwei Garden
Mo Xuetong sat up from the bed, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at the sky outside the window. The sky was pretty good. It was considered a good day to have such a bright sun in winter. She touched her head and felt a little dizzy, even though she was in Fuguo. The Duke has been raising her for a while, but her foundation is still a bit weak, and she couldn't stand it just for one night.
"Miss, you're awake. Does your head still hurt? Do you want to call a doctor to check?" Mo Yu came in through the curtain with a basin of warm water in his hand. When he saw Mo Xuetong sitting up, stroking his head, he hurriedly put it down. With the water basin in his hand, he came over and touched Mo Xuetong's head.
"No need to scream, I'm just a little tired, it's okay." Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, but his face was still a little pale. (To be continued)
