little son-in-law

Just as Nangong Jingshen was about to speak, he saw Yuyang coming over with a long wooden box in his arms, so he had to say first: "I'll talk to you tonight."

Yuyang came in and put the box on the table, and said: "The one I left behind is better than this one, and it's not old enough, but this one is already a rare wild ginseng, although it has the old lady's love, but After all, it is better for us to take this ginseng as a gift, the Yun family is also a person who knows the goods, but other than that, the family really doesn't have anything to show right now."

Yuyang opened the box while talking, the ginseng is not too big, it is thinner than a baby's arm, what is rare is the whole root and beard, and there are many reed bowls.

Mo Nanjin looked at the ginseng in his hand and said, "Yuyang is right to be worried. It would have been fine in previous years, but today, there is no need to worry so much."

These days, so many things have happened, even if they want to hide it, the Yun family can't help but be suspicious, so they simply came forward.

After arriving at Yun's house, family members greeted them, and there were people carrying things back and forth at the side door. Only then did they know that the eldest and second misses of the Yun family returned to Ning today, and they even brought their husband-in-law and children. They turned around a corner door, I saw a few children playing and frolicking in the yard, and a few nurses and maidservants were waiting on the side. Mo Nanjin knew Yun Sichuan's son and daughter, and the rest of the children were supposed to belong to the two young ladies' family.

Seeing Mo Nanjin enter the door at this moment, Yun Sichuan's eldest daughter, nicknamed Qigeer, led her younger brother up, saluted and called out in a soft voice: "Uncle Mo."

The little brother Ying Qi on the side also blinked and called, "Uncle Mo."

Mo Nanjin replied with a smile: "Brother Qi, Yingqi, they have grown taller."

But Mo Nanjin really didn't expect to meet two children. The children usually set up another place with the family members. At this time, seeing the children greet them and salute, they really had nothing in hand for them.

Nangong Jing pursed her lips and smiled lightly, tore off the jade pendant from her waist and gave it to him.

Mo Nanjin glanced at him from the end of his eyes. The objects on his body were all made in the palace and had imprints on them. It's okay to find fault by doing so.

Suddenly remembered that Yuyang still had two of the sachets he made a few days ago.After the Double Ninth Festival, there will be a period of Xiaoyangchun weather, and there are many mosquitoes. Yuyang dried some herbs and dried flowers to make some insect-proof sachets for the family. Because of the busy two days, I have no upper body. Today is a coincidence.

Pausing for some time with the child, still under the guidance of the family, came to a garden, inscribed the word Yinfang, walked into the garden, brushed the willows, and the sweet osmanthus was fragrant. The chrysanthemums that are rarely in full bloom.Pass through two corridors, an arch bridge, and come to a hall facing the water. There are not many people, but there are both men and women, but there is a symbolic bamboo curtain in the middle, which can be clearly seen on both sides.It looks like a family banquet, but why do you want to send him a post?

Mo Nanjin looked at Nangong Jingshen, and saw the same doubt in his eyes.

Two people came in, and there was a brief silence in the hall,

The old lady smiled through the curtain: "Brother Jin is here, right? It's not an outsider, please open the curtain, Brother Jin, come over and let me have a look."

At this time, on the building on the other side of the water bank, Yun Qingchuan was standing by the window with a middle-aged man. Looking carefully, he was really not a stranger. It was Guo Shouzhong, the prefect of Yunzhou. Followed by Mo Nanjin, nodded in praise and said, "It's really a rare and wonderful person every time you look at it."

A sneer appeared on Yun Qingchuan's clear and beautiful face, he backed up, sat down on the small bamboo couch on one side, and said, "Master Guo, since you like it, why don't you do it this time? Could it be that Master Guo also knows how to be sympathetic and cherish jade?"

"My little ancestor, are you jealous?" Guo Shouzhong walked over with a smile, and grabbed Yun Qingchuan's white hand that was placed beside him.

A deep loathing flashed in Yun Qingchuan's eyes, but he didn't break free, instead he said with a smile: "How could it be? I don't dare to delay my lord's appreciation of the beauties."

"But I only like beauties like you." Guo Shouzhong's strong body rushed forward.

Yun Qingchuan avoided him nimbly, shook his sleeves, and said, "My lord, you are the honored guest of the old lady today, let's go down."

After all, he had already come to the door first, and before he opened the door, he heard Guo Shouzhong from behind say: "Qingchuan, because of our friendship for so many years, I advise you, don't beat this Mo Nanjin." I'm not afraid to tell you what he thinks. Xia'er saw the princess call his brother with her own eyes, and even General Yun of the current court wanted to salute him. Although I don't know who he is, it probably wasn't you and me. worthy character."

He, Guo Shouzhong, is not a fool either. He was born as a small country gentry, and he has been mixed up all the way to the prefect of a state. If he said he didn't have much thought, no one would believe him. Yun Qingchuan asked him to come over this time, and mentioned Mo Nanjin in his ear several times. , he kept his eyes open, he and Yun Qingchuan hadn't been together for a year or two, and he knew a little about his temperament, probably Mo Nanjin was blocking Yun Qingchuan's eyes.

He and Yun Qingchuan are together, the two of them get what they need, what he wants is beauty, what Yun Qingchuan wants is to expand the family's business, who doesn't need to deal with the government when doing business now, but that's all, if It is absolutely impossible to lose one's official career and one's family for this.

Yun Qingchuan turned around and said with a smile, "Thank you sir for your reminder, Qingchuan understands."

Does Mo Nanjin seem to need me to do it myself this time?He had heard Guo Shouzhong inquire about Mo Nanjin several times, and he thought that he might be able to help, but he was also a pervert.

At this moment in the hall, Mo Nanjin stepped forward, handed the ginseng box in his hand to the maid beside him, and said with a smile, "The old lady looks really good today."

The old lady Yun sat on the warm couch in the center of the hall, smiled happily, and said, "Brother Jin, sit next to me, and you will make my wife happy. Is Yuyang's girl in good health?"

"It has recovered. Originally, I wanted to come over to thank the old lady in person today. I guess the old lady has many distinguished guests today, so I didn't come to bother."

"Yuyang is a girl with a lot of manners. Are you busy with the work in the field?"

"I hired a few helpers, and I'm almost done."

"Time waits for no one."

"You are right, old lady."

While the two were talking, Yun Qingchuan and Guo Shouzhong had already entered, and the latter was led by Yun Sichuan himself to the banquet, although he didn't understand what his second brother was thinking. He brought the prefect back together, and insisted on making trouble for the old lady to invite Mo Nanjin too.

"Brother Jin, this is my second eldest grandson, Qingchuan, haven't you seen him? He travels around all year round, and it's extremely rare for him to come back once." Seeing Yun Qingchuan coming in through the curtain, the old lady of the Yun family pointed at him Said.

"The old lady is making fun of me."

"This is the elder brother of the Mo family that I often tell you about. Brother Jin is half a year older than you, and now he is a man with both sons and daughters. He is no match for you. At this age, he is still unmarried." The old lady grabbed Don't forget to scold him at every opportunity.

"The old lady, please forgive me this time. I haven't met the eldest brother of the Mo family yet."

All the female relatives nearby laughed, and the family seemed to be enjoying themselves happily.

"Yun Qingchuan met the big brother of the Mo family." Yun Qingchuan cupped his hands and said.

"Second Young Master, there is no need to be too polite." Mo Nanjin stood up, not daring to really be his courtesy, this Yun Qingchuan didn't want to see him, and he was not unaware.

"Young Master looks so nervous." Today's table is not big, a table is set up for men and women, so Nangong Jingshen and Guo Shouzhong are on the same table, separated by two people.

"I just came to Nanshan Town not long ago." Nangong Jingshen said indifferently. In fact, except in front of her own family, it is basically impossible to see Nangong Jingshen and Yan Yuese, and it is not aimed at him.

Yun Sichuan was afraid that Guo Shouzhong would lose face, so he said: "This son is a relative of my brother from the Mo family." Then he said to Nangong Jingshen: "This is the prefect of this state, Mr. Guo."

Guo Shouzhong didn't seem to care about it, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, dare not, dare to ask this young master's name?" In fact, Guo Shouzhong has his own little Jiujiu in his heart. It must be a very wealthy person. If you climb up, it will be a way to get promoted quickly.

"You don't need to know." Nangong Jingshen didn't look at him, playing with the white jade wine glass in his hand with his slender fingers, and refused indifferently.

Several other people at the table gasped behind their backs, only Yun Sichuan looked thoughtfully at Nangong's quiet and calm expression.

Here, Guo Shouzhong turned pale. Seven or eight years ago, he was not the prefect. One time when he came to Beijing to report on his duties, he once met the present-day sage, who was still the son of Prince Yu's mansion, and brought his capital officials to salute. What he said at the time It was: "There is no need to be too polite." Because it was the only time he saw the emperor, Guo Shouzhong remembered it very clearly. Hearing the tone now is [-]% similar to that at that time. In addition, the identities of the two are a mystery, even if they are not sure, But don't dare to offend.

"It was Guo who was reckless, please forgive me, my lord."

"It's a good thing you can keep it." The two wandered around the courtyard with everyone in Yun Mansion, listened to some people recite or inscribed a few chrysanthemum poems, and stayed for a lunch. They were all members of the Yun family. , not to mention how uncomfortable.After eating, the two said their goodbyes early and came out.

"Take it as repaying the old lady's love."

On the way, the two bought some bean paste, hawthorn cheese and two jars of grain wine.

In the middle of the afternoon, Mo Nanjin had already started making Double Ninth Flower Cake. Mo Nanjin didn’t know how other people did it. How easy it was for him to make Double Ninth Flower Cake. The glutinous rice flour was ground and sifted long ago. , add sugar, directly mix into small balls, wrap layer by layer with red bean paste, hawthorn cheese, melon seeds, walnut kernels, candied fruit and so on. No flowers added at all.Many people here add sweet-scented osmanthus or chrysanthemum petals, but the Mo family really doesn't like that taste.

The flower cake had just come out of the pan, Rong Xi and Nangong Qiuhu came back with their three children.

There is still the chrysanthemum wine brewed last year, and a jar was brought out.

I had dinner early this morning, after dinner Yuyang planned to pick off the cornus officinalis and dry it in the sun, and put it in the cabinet to prevent insects.

Mo Nanjin picked the only two white chrysanthemums with their leaves growing in the backyard, soaked them in grain wine, and next year the chrysanthemum wine will be available for drinking.

"Little Jin, what do you think? About Jingshen." Nangong Qiuhu helped, cutting off the leaves.

"My mind is a little messy." Mo Nanjin answered truthfully.

"Well, actually, he already knew."

"What?" The scissors in Mo Nanjin's hand accidentally touched her finger, causing a small bloody cut.

"Xiao Jin, let me see, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just accidentally rubbed it."

Nangong Qiuhu took his finger and looked at it. There was nothing wrong, so she was relieved and said, "In a few days, your father and I will be away for a while. I hope that the matter between you and Jingshen can be sorted out as soon as possible. .”

"Where are you going?"

"Don't worry, it's just that there are some things that need to be clarified and resolved sooner or later."

Sitting on the bed, Mo Nanjin was still thinking about what her father said tonight. Six years have passed, and it has been longer for the fathers, more than 20 years.

Nangong Jingshen came in by herself, and Mo Nanjin asked, "Where are the two little guys?" Didn't the father and son take a bath together?

"I'll let them sleep with Xiao Mo and the others tonight."

"Why?" Mo Nanjin frowned.

"I have something to tell you tonight." Nangong sat down quietly.

"Why are you so close? Sit back."

"Little Jin, I know everything."

"and then?"

"Then I want to tell you, just stay together like this, Xiaojin."

"So? How is it?"

Nangong Jingshen's answer was to wrap his arms around his shoulders, tighten his arms, imprint a fiery kiss on Mo Nanjin's lips, and muttered softly on Mo Nanjin's lips: "Xiaojin, call brother to listen."
