little son-in-law

Several people found a teahouse to sit down. This is the only teahouse in the town. The teahouse is not big, with only five or six tables. It sells some simple cooked food and side dishes on weekdays. It is run by a pair of sisters. Qi Hong.

A group of people came in, and the teahouse was deserted in the evening, only two people sat on a table in the corner, who seemed to be porters driving a carriage. There was only a pot of tea, a few steamed buns, and a plate of shredded pickles on the table.The two of them were talking while eating, when they saw someone coming in, they looked up, then lowered their heads and continued talking.

"Brother Mo, why are you guys here at this hour?" Hearing the voice, Qi Hong opened the door curtain and came out with a smile, her hands were still wet, and she wiped the blue cloth apron.People in the town generally have already eaten their dinner at this time, and most of the teahouses are also on their way at this time. They have finished their dinner here and have to rush to the next bigger town to stay overnight.

"Qi Hong, are you making dinner?" Mo Nanjin nodded and smiled, and put Yunzhi on the stool beside her.

"Yeah, I just got it, Brother Mo, what do you want?" Qi Hong looked at the people behind Mo Nanjin. Of course, she knew Xiao Mo and Ming Ting, but she had never seen the two behind. Probably not from the town.

"Just give us a pot of tea, and a few peanut crisps for the three little ones."

Qi Hong agreed and went inside.Ming Ting led the three children to sit at a separate table.Mo Nanjin, Xiao Mo, and Mo Yunzheng were sitting at another table, and another person who looked like a guard stood behind Mo Yunzheng without taking a seat.

Not long after, Qi Hong came out with a pot of hot tea and a plate of peanut cakes. The hot tea was placed on Mo Nanjin's table, and the peanut cakes were placed on the three small tables.The people at the table in the corner just finished eating, so they checked out and left.

Qi Hong watched a few people sitting there silently, took a second look strangely, and said to Mo Nanjin: "Brother Mo, if you want to order anything, just call me."

Mo Nanjin responded with a smile, Qi Hong turned around and went back to work inside.

Seeing that the other two seemed to have no intention of speaking, Mo Yunzheng looked at Mo Nanjin and then at Xiao Mo, resigned to his fate, and said first: "Xiao Mo, why are you here? Didn't Fu Bo say you went back to your hometown? Your Isn't Linyang my hometown?" The Uncle Mo Yunzheng was talking about was Mo Fufu, the old housekeeper of the Mo family.Xiao Mo is his grandson. He lived in Mo Mansion for a long time when he was young, and he didn't leave until he was seven or eight years old. Mo Yunzheng has known him since childhood.In the past few years, Xiao Mo also went back to visit Uncle Fu one after another.

"I came here with my young master." Xiao Mo moistened his throat with a sip of tea, then looked at Mo Nanjin and said.

"Your young master? Oh, this is Brother Mo, right?" Everyone had introduced themselves and exchanged names along the way.

"I have admired Brother Mo for a long time." Mo Nanjin cupped his hands.Huzhou Mo family, the representative of Shi Lin Qingliu, Mo Yunzheng, the eldest son and grandson of the Mo family in Huzhou, was the champion of Tongxi in high school for 16 years at the age of 20.Now at the age of 21, he is already a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, with the official title of third grade.His father, Mo Lingyun, was the Grand Tutor when the Holy Majesty was still the Crown Prince, and now he is awarded the title of Grand Tutor and Cabinet Bachelor, a first-class official.

"I'm ashamed!" Mo Yunzheng also smiled gently and raised his hand to return the salute.His elegant and handsome face, and his calm and steady demeanor make a good first impression.

Mo Nanjin squinted her eyes. If she read correctly, this Mo Yunzheng was also——

"Young Master, why did you come to Nanshan Town?" Xiao Mo got used to shouting, and couldn't change his words for a while.His name was Young Master Mo Yunzheng and Young Master Mo Nanjin, and the fact that the two had the same surname suddenly made people who didn't know the inside story think that these two were brothers.

"It's like this. Qingming went back to Huzhou to worship the ancestors. On the way back to Beijing, I passed by Yunzhou Mansion. I wanted to buy a better inkstone to take back. I happened to meet Yun Qingchuan in Yun's shop and said that he had a few of the top inkstones in his collection. The Yun inkstone he was waiting for, he had asked someone to bring a letter back and asked his family members, saying that he could buy it for me, and I came to Nanshan Town this time to see those pieces of Yun inkstone."

Yun inkstone gets its name from Yunshuixi, where it is produced, because the blue and white textures on the inkstone are intertwined, resembling branches and leaves, so it is also known as tangled inkstone.Yun inkstone, red silk stone inkstone from Yuzhou and frost snow inkstone from Nanchuan Prefecture are called the three famous inkstones in Ningguo.Among them, the cloud inkstone is the second most famous inkstone in Ning country because of its excellent stone quality, smooth and moist, astringent and not stagnant writing, and slippery and non-sticky ink. People who have been to Yunzhou, especially literati, are more or less They will bring a few pieces back to give away.As a prominent family in Yunzhou, the Yun family's collection of cloud inkstones is naturally unmatched by others, and the Yun family's most precious collections in their own family are naturally the treasures of the best.Since Yun Qingchuan asked Mo Yunzheng to come to his family to pick up the inkstone, he must also know about Mo Yunzheng's background.

While talking, the servants of Yun's family had come to look for him, saying that the second young master had asked someone to come back and told him that there was a distinguished guest coming, and he estimated that he should arrive today.The young master had been greeted by people several times on the way into the town early in the morning, and just now he heard that a carriage entered the town, and he came to the teahouse with the young master of the Mo family.Only then did I find it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Yunzheng inquired about Mo Nanjin's residence. When he visited Mo Nanjin another day, he followed the members of the Yun family to Yunfu.

Before boarding the car, Mo Yunzheng took another look at the backs of Mo Nanjin and the others leaving. A few small ones were running in front with baskets in their hands. Little Mo was gesticulating at Mo Nanjin, not knowing what he was gesticulating. Nan Jin and Shao Mingting walked with ease, they couldn't see everyone's expressions, but they could feel the calm and warm warmth between them.In the end, it gradually merged into the summer night.

Mo Nanjin?Why is there always a feeling of familiarity, where have I seen it? Or where have I heard this name?

"Master?" Mo Hui lifted the curtain of the car earlier, but saw the young master staring into the distance in a daze.

"Let's go." Mo Yunzheng stepped into the car.

A few days ago, the strawberries in the orchard were ripe. These days, the cherries at home have also turned red, and one branch is sticking out of the wall. People passing by on the street will inevitably look up at him. In the past few days, the number of small heads going back and forth at the door of Mo's house has increased several times compared to usual. This day, when Mo Nanjin and three came back from watering the field, they saw three children lying on the wall like an arhat. The child tried to stretch his arms to grab the cherries on the tree.The little fat man at the bottom was sweating profusely, and he kept raising his head and asked, "Xiao Niu, is it enough? Is it enough?"

"If it's higher, it's almost there."

"I can't stand anymore, hurry up." As if to verify his words, he shook his body forward.

"Xiao Pang, don't shake, I can't stand in the middle anymore." The child in the middle lowered his head and blamed Xiao Pang for a glance, but just in time saw Mo Nanjin standing behind him with a smile.

"Mo, Mo, Mo, Uncle Mo." He was too scared to speak.The hand holding the top child's feet loosened, and the top child fell down from above with an "ah".

Mo Nanjin caught it quickly with his eyes and hands, and the seven or eight-year-old child hit him with a pain in his chest.

The two children fell to the ground and got up immediately. The three children looked at Mo Nanjin, and lowered their heads with flushed faces, as if bowing their heads and pleading guilty. Mo Nanjin just wanted to laugh.He didn't make a sound just now because he was afraid that if they were afraid of falling off, he still saw him and fell off.

"Do you want to eat cherries?" Mo Nanjin bent down and rubbed their messy little heads.

"We won't dare next time, Uncle Mo." Xiao Jin is the youngest son of Tiejiang Sun, the little fat man is the only son of Yipin Bakery, and the calf Mo Nanjin caught is from the carpenter's house in the town. , I often play in this street on weekdays, and Mo Nanjin knows everyone.

"You can come in and talk to uncle if you want to eat, but it's wrong to steal." Mo Nanjin thought he was still kind and patted these heads twice. The head that was already like a bird's nest is now a mess Grass.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Xiao Mo's mouth twitched again and again, thinking: The young master's bad taste is really not flattering.

"Brother Mo." Mo Yunzheng just happened to see this scene when he walked to the door of Mo's house, he couldn't help but stop, his eyes flashed with interest.When he saw Mo Nanjin raised his head, he greeted her aloud.

"You're here?" Mo Nanjin wanted to call Brother Mo at first, but why did she find it so weird, you call me Brother Mo, and I call you Brother Mo the other way around?The title was simply omitted.

Mo Yunzheng paused in his heart. Mo Nanjin called Yisheng like this, which made people feel a little familiar, and the smile on his face deepened involuntarily.

The guard stood behind Mo Yunzheng, Mo Nanjin was not surprised, but why are Tian Cheng and Guo Mingxia here?Guo Mingxia's attitude last time didn't look like she wanted to visit again.But the visitor is a guest, so he can't just leave the house, besides, Guo Mingxia has never done anything wrong to him, isn't it just that the prefect's lady looks down on a countryman?It can only be said that the Guo family's tutoring needs to be improved, and this kind of thing is not unreasonable in this era.It's even a very normal thing, but no matter how normal it is, we can't force the discriminated person to warmly welcome others to discriminate, right?So Mo Nanjin just nodded at them, and led Mo Yunzheng into the door one step earlier.

Thinking of something, he turned around and stepped out again, beckoning to the three children who were about to turn around and run away.The little joy that had just appeared on the faces of the three suddenly collapsed, and they came over with their heads bowed.

"Uncle Mo. We won't dare next time."

"Really, Uncle Mo."

"Uncle Mo, don't tell my parents, they will beat me to death."

Mo Nanjin ignored them and just motioned for them to follow.

"Master is back?" Yuyang heard the movement, came out of the room, and saw Mo Nanjin followed by a group of people.One of them didn't know him yet, so he asked, "Who is this young master?"

Mo Nanjin gave an introduction to everyone.Sit down in the lobby.

Mingyue brought some cups of tea.

Mo Nanjin asked Mingyue to give the three children a pack of the cherries they had just picked in the morning.Washed two more dishes for the guests to taste.The three children took the cherries away with joy on their faces.There is Yuyang in the hall to take care of her.The three of Mo Nanjin went to the backyard to wash up, then changed their clothes and came out.Because they were watering today, they naturally got a lot of muddy water on their bodies.Just now that Miss Guo Mingxia looked at their clothes and frowned so much that she could tie her into a knot.

"Brother Mo's yard is quite elegant." Just now Mo Yunzheng proposed to visit the house, and Mo Nanjin led everyone to look around.

"Thank you, it's just an ordinary farmyard." Mo Nanjin laughed.

"Lord Mo, you don't know. This house still belonged to our Tian family back then. It's just that our husband was going to Beijing for the exam, and their family was new here. They had nowhere to settle down, so they bought it from him." Guo Yunxia suddenly interjected such a sentence from the side. talk.

"Wife——" Mo Nanjin could see Tian Cheng tug on his wife's sleeve from this direction, but he didn't dare to object publicly, so he could only signal him not to speak in a low voice.

Guo Mingxia glared at him secretly, and pulled off her sleeves.

Mo Nanjin saw it, and Mo Yunzheng naturally saw it too.

"So Brother Mo is not from Nanshan Town?" Mo Yunzheng asked casually.

"Indeed, we moved here from Linyang." Mo Nanjin answered every question.

"Brother Mo, please don't be offended if you ask me a presumptuous question. Linyang is a prosperous state capital city, why would Brother Mo think of moving here?" Why does Nanshan Town look inferior to Linyang City? Yun Zheng's unfinished words, Linyang is the state capital of Nanchuan Prefecture.And Nanchuan Prefecture is one of the most prosperous state capitals in Ningguo.

"Six years ago, Linyang was in great turmoil. Our family fled and came to Yunzhou to join relatives. Unexpectedly, relatives were not found. We passed by here and met Brother Tian, ​​so we settled down here." I was originally going to your house.

"Brother Mo, I—" Tian Cheng was in a hurry when he heard this, his face turned red.

Mo Nanjin signaled him not to say anything, he understood what Tian Cheng wanted to say.

"The Great Chaos in Linyang—" Mo Yunzheng sighed inwardly, and remained silent for a while after contemplating it. It has been six years, how many people still can't get over that hurdle in the heart of this Linyang Great Chaos.The peerless Rong family father and son who had heard their names but never seen their people, and the son-in-law of the two eldest princesses of the Daning Kingdom, all lost their souls in the chaos of Linyang.

"Master Mo, Lord Mo."

"Mrs. Tian, ​​what's the matter?" Mo Yunzheng turned his attention, thinking that this Mrs. Tian's family is also strange, since she met him at Yun's house a few days ago and learned his identity, she has been dangling in front of his eyes.Today he went out to Mo Nanjin's house, and she came with him.Although he considers himself not pedantic, he still understands the difference between men and women.

"I heard that Master Mo came to Nanshan Town this time to buy inkstones, and my father also has a few good Yunyan inkstones. Why don't Master Mo come to Yunzhou Mansion to talk about it and give my father a hand? "

Lovers are waiting here, no wonder they went to Mo's house again, so it should be Mo Yunzheng's place.Mo Nanjin thought to herself.

These days, people also heard that this lady of the Tian family is so powerful that she went to the house of the second uncle Tian Cheng alone, and forcibly plucked a lot of hair from the iron cock of the master of the Tian family. Passing by three feet away, one could smell the soaring resentment.

"Mrs. Montaigne's love, it's just that the Holy Majesty allowed me to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors within two months. Now that the two months are approaching, I will go back to Beijing tomorrow to return to my life. After all, the sacred order cannot be done." demand.

"That's right, since your lord has ordered you, we naturally have to obey." Guo Mingxia said with a sneer.

In the following time, Guo Mingxia was obviously absent-minded, Mo Yunzheng and Mo Nanjin didn't care, and continued to visit the house, and Mo Nanjin even led Mo Yunzheng to the bamboo forest in the back mountain.Along the way, Mo Nanjin pointed out to him the flowers, plants, trees, melons, fruits, insects and birds on the mountain, with several other people trailing far behind.The two hit it off right away and talked happily.Mo Nanjin found that this Mo Yunzheng was really knowledgeable, and he was familiar with the names of many flowers and plants on the mountain.Even under his guidance, Mo Nanjin picked several kinds of herbs.

Before I knew it, most of the day passed like this.Mo Nanjin originally wanted to keep him for dinner, but because he was leaving Nanshan Town tomorrow, and the Yun family was going to give him a farewell tonight, he had no choice but to say goodbye.

"Xiao Mo, if you have time, go back and see Uncle Fu more often, and come to the mansion more often, everyone misses you very much." Before leaving, Mo Yunzheng patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Mo, let's say goodbye this time. I don't know when we will see you again. Brother Mo, take care of yourself. If Brother Mo arrives in the capital one day, I will definitely greet you." Mo Nanjin's hand was held, but he felt a chill in his hand and bowed his head. Looking at it, Mo Yunzheng quietly put a shiny and clear jade pendant in his hand.Mo Yunzheng whispered: "Brother Mo, I have brought this with me since I was a child. If you come to the capital, as long as you show this jade pendant, everyone in the Mo family will recognize it."

"But if we say goodbye today, maybe we will never see each other in this lifetime." Mo Nanjin declined.

"Yes, Brother Mo, I think we will meet again." Mo Nanjin didn't know where Mo Yunzheng's confidence came from, so he could only smile and accepted the jade pendant.

After walking a long distance, Mo Yunzheng suddenly turned back, and saw Mo Nanjin still standing at the entrance, the summer wind blowing his water-colored clothes, and he was extremely quiet.Seeing him turn around, she smiled at him again.

Mo Nanjin, who are you?Why did Yun Jingping, the master of the Yun family, say that the old butler of the Mo family accompanied Mo Nanjin to Nanshan Town five years ago, and even showed his father's token of the patriarch?From Linyang?The Linyang Rebellion six years ago?Mo Nanjin, who are you?Father, what role did you play in the Linyang Rebellion that shocked Ningguo?

Quiet and clean?Quiet and clean?Quiet and clean? !The painting in the palace seemed to think of something, and Mo Yunzheng's face changed drastically.

Mo Nanjin, Mo Nanjin, are you the one I think of?
