This year in Mo Zhai was extremely lively.
He Yan didn't follow Mo Yitao to meet the Mo family at all. During this time, the Mo family used various methods to probe him clearly, so he didn't have the mood to deal with those who were hostile to him. Eat snacks on the second floor and swipe your phone, continue to be a rice bug.
It's just that the Mo family's New Year's greetings are a bit long, and it won't be over until a meal at noon.
He Yan was holding the mobile phone, and after reading the celebrity gossip and reading novels for a while, he gradually felt a little bored, and he didn't know if it was because he just stayed in the room after eating in the morning and didn't digest much. Strangely, he had no appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after taking two hasty bites.
"Young master, are you feeling unwell?" the housekeeper immediately asked with concern. Not to mention the owner's attitude, he himself likes this little guest very much, he is obedient and clever, and it is painful to look at, at least more popular than those pampered young masters and ladies downstairs who all look at people with their chins "Why did you eat so little?"
He Yan shook his head, "No, I ate too much in the morning, and now I can't eat. Uncle Zhang, hurry up and get busy."
The housekeeper paid him a few more words of concern in a soft voice, and then went down to serve the master again.
After eating, He Yan was so bored that he rolled around on the large and soft sofa for several times, and finally rolled his eyes, as if thinking of some bad idea, he took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and started sending a message to someone.
Downstairs living room.
Although it is said that the direct line of the Mo family has withered and there are only two people left, Mr. Mo who is about to enter the earth and the head of the Mo family who is still single, but the side line is so flourishing, even if only the side line came to the family banquet on the first day of junior high school. There are more important people in the room, but there are still seven or eight tables full, taking up more than half of the space in the living room.
A lady with exquisite make-up was sipping a drink casually, her eyes wandering around aimlessly, suddenly she seemed to see something, with a strange expression on her face, she pulled her mother beside her, and said in a low voice: "Mom! , I just saw Butler Zhang go upstairs with the meal."
Originally, everyone at the dinner table was busy courting Mr. Mo and Patriarch Mo, and not many people had the energy to pay attention to the movements of a housekeeper. However, their family is far away from the direct lineage, and there is no one in the family who can be treated differently by Patriarch Mo, so they were arranged in a relatively remote position, which happened to be relatively close to the stairs, so she noticed that Butler Zhang was holding a A plate of meals went upstairs.
Although Steward Zhang said that he was just a housekeeper, it is reasonable to say that he would be included in the ranks of servants, but the actual situation is that Steward Zhang has been serving the Mo family for more than ten years, and he is very important to the two heads of the family. Has been out of the scope of ordinary people. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the current Patriarch, this housekeeper probably weighs more than most of them present. So even if Steward Zhang is just a servant, they should be polite to him.
A confidant servant like Steward Zhang, to some extent, represents the identity and status of the master. Except when serving the master, he will not serve food and water for anyone.
But just now? She actually saw Butler Zhang go upstairs with the meal in person
Could it be the boy named Mo Qi who was personally taken to the main house by the owner of the Mo family... It is said that he is the orphan of a certain side branch, and his background is very poor.
She couldn't help thinking of the rumor that had been circulating in the Mo family during this period of time and made most people restless, and her expression was a little weirdly dull for a moment.
It is impossible for the lady sitting next to her to think of things that she can think of, but her performance is much calmer than her own daughter. After a brief surprise, she immediately put her arm on her daughter's waist, her face With a smile, he looked at the eyes of everyone at the dinner table, and said to his daughter in a very low voice: "Don't worry about it, these things are not something we should get involved in."
The girl came back to her senses, quickly restrained the expression on her face, exchanged a short but meaningful look with her mother, and turned back into that delicate and elegant rich girl.
Mother is right, their family is just an inconspicuous branch among the countless branches of the Mo family, and it is unlikely that the position of the mistress of the Mo family will fall on her head. Besides, she thinks that she is indeed not worthy of it. Mo Yitao's. Regarding the fact that the head of the Mo family found a boy as his lover, let those who think about being the mistress of the old house of the Mo family worry about it themselves.
She is a smart person. From Butler Zhang's actions, it can be seen that the boy's importance in the Mo family is not low, at least much higher than some people imagined.
Thinking of the few women in the family who dreamed of marrying Mo Yitao every day, and even "competed" on their own, she couldn't help but secretly gloat. If the group of ladies with eyes above the top knew that their status in the eyes of Patriarch Mo was not as good as a man, they would be so angry that their noses would crooked, right
Thinking of this, she suddenly had some subtle affection for that young man whom she had never met before.
Except for her who was looking around because she had nothing to do, no one sitting at their table seemed to notice Zhang Butler's actions. The girl nonchalantly looked at the people around her, covered her upturned mouth with a tissue, and felt much happier than when she came here.
But compared to her happiness, some people's moods are not so wonderful.
For example, a certain Miss Mo family who followed her family to the main table because her branch developed well.
Because Mo Yitao was on the right team when he came to power, and didn't follow those shallow-sighted people to trip up the new head of the family at that time. Now their family can be said to be the branch that Mo Yitao favors the most. And because her father's work ability is also very outstanding, which Mo Yitao values very much, so she has long thought in her heart that if someone in the Mo family can take the position of the Madam of the Mo family, it must be her.
She was secretly proud that she was able to sit at the main table and overwhelm those whores who often squeezed her because of jealousy, but soon, this pride was washed away by Mo Yitao's indifferent attitude Not left.
At the dinner table, her mother brought the topic to her several times, and Mr. Mo seemed to be very satisfied with her, and praised her cooperatively, but Mo Yitao was still the same as before, and had no intention of answering the conversation at all. , amidst all the talking and laughing, Yan Yan was eating with a face of nothing to do with himself, and he didn't even bother to give her a spare glance.
Thinking of the recent rumors that Patriarch Mo picked up a young boy from a side branch to the old house, she felt tense.
It doesn't matter... People like Mo Yitao have this face to everyone. She has long been used to it. Anyway, no one in the family is qualified to sit in that seat except her. Playing with boys is only temporary now. I believe that in the end, a smart person like Patriarch Mo will always make the choice that is most beneficial to him.
She was so self-comforting, her mood quickly calmed down, but within a few minutes, Mo Yitao's cell phone sent out a text message alert, Mo Patriarch, uncharacteristically, quickly took out the cell phone, typing while showing A faint smile.
A wave of anger mixed with embarrassment surged up, she couldn't hold the cup in her hand firmly for a moment, the cup fell on the table, and the bright red wine in the cup splashed along the edge of the table onto her delicate skirt.
"Oh..." The people at the table became a little commotion because of this change, and they cast all kinds of eyes on her, only Mo Jiaxiang, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't notice the little girl who happened around her. Like a commotion, he replied to someone without looking up.
"Brother, it's so boring to be alone."
"Hey, it's over soon, and I'll be with you as soon as it's over. Are you going to make a snowman later?"
"Okay, okay~"
Patriarch Mo:!
