Mrs. Mo said he would not agree
Chapter 108
This New Year's Eve dinner, the Mo family ate a little peacefully.
The whole family was not there.
For the Mo family, this has become commonplace.
Every time the flavor of the new year is strong, it will be somewhat sentimental, but apart from the adults, Tao Niang and An Niang are still children, even Tao Niang is only in her teens, and has not yet experienced the horror.
Fireworks and firecrackers were set off outside, blasting the splendor of the courtyard.Tao Niang has carried little An Niang to the highest place in Mo Mansion.When climbing up and watching, An Niang leaned in the arms of the second sister and said in a low voice: "I love my sister, why didn't my brother come back?"
An Niang couldn't remember Mo Guangsheng, nor could she remember Mo Feihe.
But she still remembers the half-grown boy who would come to tease her every day.
Tao Niang heard that An Niang was a little immature, she still couldn't speak clearly, she couldn't understand what "two" said, and she was also a little depressed.
However, Tao Niang did not show a depressed and sad expression, but smiled at An Niang, "Brother is still training himself so that he can protect his family and country in the future, just like uncle and grandfather."
An Niang nodded with a vague understanding, and was soon attracted by the fireworks exploding in the sky.
The two children were playing outside, Xu Sumei sent someone to watch, but she and Mo Jingchun were sitting in the main hall.
Talking about small talk is a bit strange, but it can be regarded as a commonplace.
Originally, the relationship between Mo Jingchun and Xu Sumei should avoid suspicion, and it is reasonable not to be too close.
But the situation in Mo's house is like this, Mo Jingchun is in charge of the outside, but Xu Sumei is in charge of the housework internally. After coming and going, the relationship between sister-in-law and uncle is no longer so strict.
In Xu Sumei's view, Mo Jingchun was more like her brother, who talked about everything.
Listening to the commotion outside, she was wearing a light pink cotton gown with a narrow collar and a pair of soft-soled shoes on her feet. In this festive festival, she was dressed in a rather simple and elegant way, even on her head, there was only one Root hosta.
When she doesn't have to face outside entertainment, Xu Sumei doesn't like to put so much rouge and powder on her face.
"Ziqing, according to rough calculations, Taoniang is almost fifteen years old," Xu Sumei said unhurriedly, "now, people are starting to look at her, what do you think?"
They are all from her own family, so Xu Sumei's words are not so tactful.
In this case, it is impossible for her to tell Tao Niang.
I can only tell Mo Jingchun, who is a father, first, so I have a plan.Although Xu Sumei took Tao Niang out, Mo Jingchun was her father.
Mo Jingchun was silent for a moment, "It's still a year or two, it's too early." He sighed, "If I can choose, I hope Tao Niang can meet someone I like."
Xu Sumei thought of Mo Jingchun's experience, and didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, "As a parent, I can only help you take a look. If you like it or not, it must be Tao Niang's favorite, and that's the only way to count. I'm a little younger now, but it's okay to look ahead. Anyway. I have a bottom line in my heart, lest I be in a hurry..."
Her words reminded her of what happened to Princess Kongxiu before.
All the rich and powerful children of the right age in the capital got married in a hurry because of this matter, and they didn't know what the result would be.However, they were able to select candidates so quickly, thanks to their previous preparations and acquaintances, which are all the same reason.
Mo Jingchun: "It's okay to take a look, but these days, there are rumors outside..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Sumei interrupted him with a smile, "Don't worry about this, you and the Mo family are inseparable, don't think about those weird thoughts, Ziqing, if you weren't here, you You think Zhimei and her father are outside, how can they be so safe?" She sighed and said helplessly.
"There are only three or four generals in the court, and half of them are from the Mo family. How can you not suspect us?" Xu Sumei's brows were slightly tired, "If you don't say it, they don't say it. can not tell?"
Chaozhong originally had three generals, but after Chang Ping was invited back to train the navy, there were four.
Mo Jingchun: "This is His Majesty's wisdom."
Xu Sumei smiled and said nothing.
wise?
Maybe so.
In the short few years of his reign, militarism is not counted, but there are also wars.The power of the clan was stripped away silently, and the family... Xu Sumei thought of the Lin family, and then thought of the attack this time.The matter was resolved very quickly and quietly, such a fast speed, unlike... when Mo Jingchun had an accident before, the matter about King Xuhuai dragged on for a long time, and died with such a bleak and strange end ...That was to guard against other royal families... After all, this new assassination, apart from the rebels, did not show any traces of interference from other clans...
Xu Sumei thought of a lot.
After realizing that these two accidents, Emperor Zhengshi handled them differently, she guessed that this time the curtain ended so quickly, maybe there was something hidden behind the scenes.
Some of Emperor Zhengshi's behaviors were too paranoid, but on the surface he was still calm and sophisticated, keeping his direction firmly.
Xu Sumei unexpectedly thought of the Yingchuan Lin family in the past few years... from a famous family to the point where no one can save it, this is really...
Xu Sumei slowly looked at Mo Jingchun, he was looking at Tao Niang and An Niang who were walking towards here.
A long-buried worry resurfaced in my heart.
...
After the second day of the new year, there are not many etiquettes that need to be busy.
Mo Jingchun took some time out of his busy schedule to take Tao Niang and An Niang for a stroll around the Biezhuang on the outskirts of Beijing.The Mo family didn't only have this one courtyard, there were several scattered in other places, all of which were fertile fields.
But here is the closest, and it is more convenient to go back and forth.
For the two little girls who have been trapped in the mansion, this is already far away.
After all, it is not always possible to go to Tan Qingshan.
Since what happened last time, Tan Qingshan's Huaguang Temple probably lost a lot of incense. After all, it has only been a few days, and the panic has not dissipated.
Tao Niang sat on the carriage and looked outside, while An Niang was lying in the carriage happily and sleeping.
The nurse and the maid sat in the small carriage behind and brought a lot of things.
Tao Niang, who was lying on the car window, looked away, looked at the sleeping little girl and was silent for a while, holding her little face and said helplessly: "What should I do, Aye, will An Niang become a little girl in the future?" Piggy?"
Mo Jingchun was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, when he heard this, he said with a smile, "Why do you think so?"
In fact, he wanted to ask more, how did Tao Niang know about Piggy?
Maybe it was seen on the villa before?
Tao Niang said happily: "An Niang is always sleeping. I calculated that An Niang can sleep for six or seven hours in a day of twelve. Doctor Qin is going to prescribe medicine for An Niang again."
Mo Jingchun smiled, "She is still young and gets tired easily."
Tao Niang knew that An Niang was not in good health, so she held her chin and said, "It would be great if my aunt could come out with us." Right now, she is too busy.
Mo Jingchun shook his head, even if there was a chance, Xu Sumei would not.
This is not going to a lively place like Tan Qingshan, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Sumei and Mo Jingchun seldom go together.
But with such a complicated relationship, he has no intention of talking about it for the time being. He glanced at Tao Niang who was a little happy because she was going out, and said with a light smile, "Why are the eyes dark and blue? Is it because I didn't sleep well last night?"
Tao Niang forced a smile and said, "It's just a little late at night. Aye, the teacher taught me a new poem, and I'll recite it to you..." She quickly changed the subject, and loudly recited the long poem that she had just memorized in the past two days. I recited the poem.
Mo Jingchun nodded from time to time, as if listening carefully.
"Not bad, very proficient." After Tao Niang stopped, Mo Jingchun said approvingly, "I saw Ah Zheng's reply last night, so I couldn't sleep?"
Tao Niang pinched her face and said sullenly: "Didn't you guess everything? Why do you still ask me?"
Mo Jingchun: "Maybe there are other accidents."
Tao Niang believed that Aye hadn’t read the letter, so she said hesitantly, “Ah Zheng apologized to me because he knew me…” She glanced at Mo Jingchun cautiously, and said quickly, “After you don’t like someone, , I was afraid that I would not like him because of his identity, so I kept hiding it and dared not say anything."
Someone... Isn't this the shining Emperor Zhengshi?
Tao Niang may not have guessed his relationship with His Majesty, but her rejection of Emperor Zhengshi is obvious... Mo Jingchun's eyes darkened, Tao Niang is still very sensitive on these matters, and His Majesty did not hide it earlier. Tao Niang felt the killing intent of living more or less.
Mo Jingchun: "Isn't this very good?"
He didn't seem to understand the meaning of Tao Niang's words, and said encouragingly, "Being open and honest is the first rule of making friends."
Tao Niang thought for a while, and gradually showed a small smile.
It seemed that the panic just now had been swept away, and he began to enjoy the scenery outside happily again.
When they arrived at the Biezhuang, Tao Niang looked at the other parked carriages, and suddenly remembered what Aye had said before, that there were some other guests in the Biezhuang.
She looked at Mo Jingchun, "Aye, they are..."
She saw the steward of the villa approaching, and could hear a lively female voice from a distance.
He paused, "Although the dean is young, he is very capable."
Tao Niang didn't feel much about Mo Jingchun's "young age" at first, but when she saw Chen Wenxiu, she opened her mouth slightly in surprise.In her opinion, Chen Wenxiu, who is not a few years older than her, can become the dean of an academy, which is really amazing.
After the two parties met the ceremony, Chen Wenxiu first said to Mo Jingchun: "Thank you Shangshu for lending us this place, but the 'donation' money you sent earlier, uh, is a bit out of order."
Mo Jingchun looked at Chen Wenxiu's embarrassed expression, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with it?"
[To raise funds, they need to collect things, and then after they are auctioned off by rich buyers, the funds obtained will be donated to the women's academy, and the things that are auctioned will belong to the buyers.This is a charitable activity, and the things that are photographed may not have their value, the value lies in the meaning]
Jingguai explained in a timely manner, allowing Mo Jingchun to understand the difference.
In fact, if Mo Jingchun can see how these two characters are written, it may not be impossible to guess what they mean.
He heard Chen Wenxiu explain to him seriously, and then showed a small smile, "The first fundraising has ended years ago, thanks to Jiao's generosity, many of these things are supported by them Yes, they bought a lot in the end." She glanced at Mo Jingchun, then at Tao Niang beside her, "That day, this little girl also went, I thought you already knew gone."
Mo Jingchun recalled in a daze that he had guessed the reason why Jiao's opened the flower viewing banquet before, but he didn't expect it to be for this...
He changed his mind and decided to find Mohen later.
Mohen was in charge of this matter, but some news was delayed.
Mo Jingchun said with a faint smile: "Since that's the case, then change it to donation, the difference is not too big."
Chen Wenxiu muttered, "That's a big difference", and said, "The amount of money you sent is too much. When I turn around, I will ask someone to send some of the intercepted things to Mo's house. Please don't refuse, Shangshu." As soon as she finished speaking, a young man came hurriedly in the distance.
"Dean Chen, over there..."
Mo Jingchun said goodbye to Chen Wenxiu who was about to go to work, and led Tao Niang and An Niang inside.
Looking young, but very mature.
In front of Mo Jingchun, he didn't look cowardly at all.Although the etiquette and words are correct, it always gives Tao Niang an illusion that she is not used to.And... Tao Niang touched her face and looked at Mo Jingchun.
She always felt that the dean didn't feel that kind of awe in front of Aye.
This is not an action on the surface, but more like an invisible illusion.
Tao Niang thought for a while, but did not say this.
Mo Jingchun said with a smile: "Biezhuang has allocated half an acre of land to them. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." Chen Wenxiu's ideas are always wild, but Mo Jingchun is not afraid to get along with her .
Tao Niang's eyes lit up, and she took An Niang with her after a while.
Mo Jingchun said that he didn't intend to restrain them, so he really didn't intend to stop them, but called Mohen in, and asked about the Women's Academy and Jiao's.
Mo Hen leaned forward and said, "Mr. Jiao, the small matter of Jiao's family was only checked because the girl was going, but on the surface, it seemed that there was no problem. There were no rumors about it in the market. It looks more like a tacit understanding between the Jiao family and the Women's Academy."
Mo Jingchun frowned, and after thinking about it, Chen Wenxiu used some method to hook up with the Jiao family, and then used Jiao's reputation to start a fundraiser... and the fundraiser has a charity name, which sounds like a good one. Good deed, but why doesn't anyone know about it?On that day, even the news of Kang Yujia's accident was far more widely spread than this incident...
Is it because of Kang Yujia's accident, if it has something to do with the first fundraising, it will be bad for his reputation?
This is also possible.
But the most important thing is that maybe these aristocratic families are still not sure how to treat this academy.
They were frightened by Emperor Zhengshi recently, and they wanted to put more effort into the things that the emperor acquiesced, but they were too afraid, and instead provoked His Majesty's displeasure, and when they still couldn't figure out the distance, it would be better not to say anything?
Mo Jingchun praised the prudence of these aristocratic families in his heart.
However, this is also in exchange for many accidents before.
Far away from the capital city, the tranquility and ease and peace emerge, which makes people feel lazy and do not want to move.Mo Jingchun stayed in the courtyard for half a day, and when Tao Niang and An Niang came back like little cats, it was almost evening.
Mo Jingchun said with a smile: "If my sister-in-law sees you like this, wouldn't she be very angry?"
Xu Sumei is still somewhat obsessive about etiquette and tidiness.
An Niang said in a childish voice, "Ni Ni, so stubborn!"
Those big bright eyes are enough to show the porcelain doll's liking.
Tao Niang coughed lightly, besides being with An Niang, she naturally did other things.For example, follow Chen Wenxiu and the others to observe the fields in winter, and then take care of the wheat seedlings... It was the first time she realized that there were so many interesting things in the farmland in winter.
Mo Jingchun and the others originally planned to stay here for two days before going back, Tao Niang whispered: "Aye, can I follow them to the back mountain tomorrow?"
Mo Jingchun closed the book and thought for a while: "Okay, but you have to bring a few attendants, and if there is an accident, you must withdraw immediately. Also, listen to Mohen." 2
He glanced at Mohen, who bowed slightly.
Tao Niang's eyes lit up, "Good!"
The next day, Tao Niang joined the people from the girls' academy early, and then went to climb the mountain.An Niang is still young, no matter how much she likes her, she can't run around with them, so Tao Niang has no choice but to put An Niang beside Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun glanced at An Niang who was sitting next to An Xin holding the mud, smiled wryly and shook her head.
If after returning home, An Niang can't find Ni Ni to be stubborn, if she starts crying, then it's...
When he thought of his sister-in-law's appearance, he shuddered for a moment.
Mo Jingchun casually stopped An Niang from moving something into her mouth, and said with a smile, "This is not edible."
An Niang pouted, "This is what An Niang made, cake."
Mo Jingchun glanced at the appalling "mud cake" in An Niang's little hand, and said with a smile: "An Niang, after the food is ready, you have to send it to the kitchen and wait for it to be steamed before eating, remember?"
He didn't know how the pastry was made, so he could only talk about it casually.
An Niang thought about it very seriously, and finally handed the finished pastry to the nanny so that she could send this plate of "pastry" to the kitchen.
Mo Jingchun said without changing expression: "What did An Niang do?"
An Niang's little hand was washing her hands in the basin, it was warm, she thought for a while, "Milk Cake."
She can only eat a small piece every three days, but she is greedy.
Mo Jingchun smiled, "Tell the kitchen to heat up the milk cake and bring it here."
The nurse backed away knowingly.
Not long after, the fragrant pastries were brought up, and the little body that was originally attached to Mo Jingchun's body bounced up suddenly, watching the nanny walk over eagerly.
Mo Jingchun: "This is outside, so..."
With a drawn out voice, he looked at An Niang who was looking at him anxiously, "You can secretly eat another piece."
An Niang stretched out a chubby little hand.
Start counting your fingers.
One.
Another one.
It's two yuan!
An Niang's big eyes lit up.
The nurse gave her one piece, and put the other on the handkerchief beside her.
An Niang gnawed in small bites and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Mo Jingchunxin took a piece in his hand, looked at the sky outside, and was about to ask someone to check the situation in the back mountain, when he felt his ticklish waist being pinched moderately.
Mo Jingchun, who was eating, swallowed the pastry silently and quickly.
Your Majesty is getting impatient again?
Mo Jingchun thought of the silence of the past few days, he originally thought that Emperor Zhengshi had lost interest in playing with dolls.
It was just an unintentional touch, Mo Jingchun waited and found no other movement, so he didn't think about it, but picked up hot tea, intending to relieve his boredom.
As soon as the warm thirst-quenching tea slipped down his throat, Mo Jingchun coughed violently.
The choked water wet the clothes in front of him, causing him to pull the handkerchief to cover his mouth in embarrassment, and then coughed again and again.The attendants, as well as the nanny and maid who served An Niang looked over one after another. Wei Yi took a few steps forward and said worriedly, "Your Majesty?"
Mo Jingchun waved his hands, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said hoarsely, "I'm choking, I'm going to change my clothes." His clothes were wet, and it was normal to change another one.
When he got up slowly, Mo Jingchun paused slightly, and looked back at An Niang who was still looking at him blankly.
The child's innocent eyes made Mo Jingchun very ashamed, but he still insisted and said, "Wei Yi, you and the nanny look at An Niang, I will come as soon as I go."
Wei Yi nodded and retreated to his original position.
In his opinion, Mo Jingchun was just going to change clothes, and there was really no danger.
Mo Jingchun's walking speed was not fast.
Even very, very slowly.
If he hadn't walked naturally and hadn't encountered anything just now, Wei Yi would have suspected that he was injured.It was only when Mo Jingchun left, or in other words, dawdled out of the house, that his footsteps became unsteady and staggered.
Incoherent, unsteady steps hurriedly sounded.
It was as if he couldn't support himself right now, so he supported his waist and felt the position of his stomach, as if the pastries and tea he ate just now were enough to make him swell enough to hold his stomach, and his face paled in pain.But the staggering when he walked was a little different, as if he was afraid that something would not hold back.
It will be a thousand miles away.
Mo Jingchun left in a hurry, and it took almost half an hour to leave.
When he came back again, Wei Yi clearly felt Lang Jun's exhausted and tired appearance, and his toes couldn't help moving slightly, "Lang Jun?"
Mo Jingchun waved his hand weakly at him, "It's nothing, I just went to visit..."
He gritted his teeth and held back the word.
Mo Jingchun let out a sigh of relief, looked at the little chubby girl who had fallen asleep on her own because there was no adult to accompany her, and said to herself: "It seems that when we go back, we still have to..."
His voice was so soft that he couldn't hear clearly, and then he asked people to continue watching An Niang to rest.
Mo Jingchun didn't dare to stay with An Niang anymore.
It's all for him to make a fool of himself, but if he makes a fool of himself in front of little An Niang, is he really going to commit suicide and apologize?
As soon as he thought of the weird, crazy, painful swelling mixed with pleasure, Mo Jingchun couldn't help pinching the center of his brows and sighing.
What are you doing, Your Majesty?
Back Mountain.
Tao Niang was following behind Chen Wenxiu and the others, watching with great concentration a tall man who was explaining to them the troubles and dangers they would encounter in the wild, and then told them step by step how to find them from the terrain behind the mountain. Water source, how to arrange traps according to the terrain...
This is the bodyguard specially invited by Chen Wenxiu, he travels around all the year round, as long as he is paid, he can do anything.When Chen Wenxiu invited them to teach these little girls, she didn't show any strange expressions.
Walking darts outside is also work, and teaching here is also work.
As long as he has money, he never cares what his employer thinks.
After the bodyguard told about his previous adventure, Tao Niang and other female students breathed a sigh of relief.Then follow the bodyguard and start to identify the marks and feces on the ground, because in this way, the surrounding dangers and prey can be distinguished in time.
Or, sometimes, large prey can also become hunters.
And they are the prey.
Tao Niang followed Chen Wenxiu in amazement, "How could you think of hiring someone to teach them this?"
Chen Wenxiu sighed and said, "Nowadays the academy is not standardized, there is only one teacher who is serious about teaching, and now we are still recruiting good teachers, but besides the young female students, there are also teenagers, nearly eighteen. They It may not be possible to stay in the academy for a long time, I think I have to teach them more, if they want to farm the land in the future, if they want to leave the capital, they must not be so blind, they will know nothing."
Tao Niang agreed in her heart.
Sometimes the reason why people can't figure out a solution is not necessarily because they are stupid, but because they have never encountered it before and have no relevant knowledge; it is also because the unknown is the most fearful.
Because Tao Niang is Mo Jingchun's daughter, Chen Wenxiu also took good care of her. When Tao Niang was puzzled, she laughed heartily, "Mo Shangshu saved my life. If Mo Shangshu didn't exist, I would have It may not be possible to stand here now."
Thinking of that terrifying emperor, Chen Wenxiu couldn't help but shudder.
Tao Niang listened, but her expression was a little strange.
The dean seemed to admire Aye very much, and when he talked about Mo Jingchun, he was full of praise. Could it be... She glanced at Chen Wenxiu and felt that the dean's thinking was very unique and out of the ordinary. In addition, they are also very cautious and restrained, all for the sake of female students.
Now she knew why Aye admired this old lady.
Tao Niang murmured, unfortunately, the dean's age...
She said furtively, "You this year..."
Her voice dropped again.
Suddenly hearing Tao Niang's words, Chen Wenxiu was also at a loss for a moment, "Huh?" She uttered a syllable stiffly, and then looked at Liu Hong.
Speaking of which, Chen Wenxiu didn't know how old she was.
When she was brought out by King Mingchun, she should be twelve or thirteen years old, and after several years, should she be sixteen or seventeen, or seventeen or eighteen?
Liu Hong silently looked at Chen Wenxiu's face that looked no more than fifteen, "...Nineteen."
Turns out I'm 19 years old.
Chen Wenxiu thought so in her heart.
Tao Niang opened her eyes wide, looking at Chen Wenxiu's appearance, she really didn't want to believe that she was almost twenty.
"So young, with a baby face." Chen Wenxiu pinched her own face, then looked at Tao Niang.
This is asking her invisibly why she is asking this question.
Tao Niang said with a smile: "I originally thought that the principal was only fourteen or five years old, and I also thought that he was not much older than me. But now that you are so old, you have shouldered such responsibilities, which is really admirable." What is on her mind can't be said out loud, Tao Niang, a shrewd and capable little brain, made up a very reasonable reason after a second thought.
Chen Wenxiu smiled, "Here, nineteen is considered a big one."
Listening to Chen Wenxiu's strange tone, Tao Niang nodded slowly, "Being engaged on the [-]th and [-]th is a common occurrence, and getting married on the [-]th and [-]th is already too late for girls."
Chen Wenxiu frowned, "It's so early, yes. But if you give birth at such a young age, it will be a bit of a loss to your body."
Tao Niang opened her mouth slightly, thinking silently, she hasn't left the cabinet yet...
Liu Hong quickly said: "Dean, Miss Mo hasn't left the cabinet yet."
Chen Wenxiu received Liu Hong's hint, smiled awkwardly, touched the back of her head and said, "That's all, you can't talk nonsense..."
Tao Niang: "Well, this is also part of the knowledge you mentioned. It's okay to talk about it." She calmed down, her ears were slightly red, and she didn't look at Chen Wenxiu again.
Chen Wenxiu thought for a while, "The human body is not yet fully developed when it is fifteen or sixteen years old. It is considered to be fully grown when it is at least seventeen or eighty-nine years old. If it is too young, it will easily damage the body. Women are disadvantaged. But..." She thought about the overall life expectancy of the current dynasty, and early marriage and early childbearing are also for survival.
It's not like in the future, you can live to seventy or eighty.
Chen Wenxiu was taken aback, in the future, which future?
Chen Wenxiu didn't stop at this embarrassing topic, and followed Tao Niang, explaining a lot of interesting knowledge to her while walking, and when everyone was exhausted and paralyzed in the evening, supporting each other down the mountain, Tao Niang looked at Chen Wenxiu His eyes are already sparkling.
She remembered Aye's praise for Chen Wenxiu, and Chen Wenxiu's admiration when he mentioned Mo Jingchun. If it was this person, even though they were a little similar in age, Tao Niang would not reject her.
She remembered that day when she and Ah Zheng met in Jiao's Plum Garden.
Ah Zheng invited Tao Niang to look around the red plum grove, and then said with a smile: "No matter how many times I see it, plums are my favorite."
Tao Niang smiled and said, "Why?"
Ah Zhengdao: "This is my aunt's favorite flower. She thinks that this kind of plum blossom is proud and blooms in the cold. As for me, I think that the bright red color sprinkled on the white snow complements each other beautifully."
Tao Niang squinted at Ah Zheng, rubbed his little head angrily, "Why did you say it so gloomy, you ruined all the beautiful mood your mother said." It sounds like, It's like blood red splashing on the white ground. It's very unlucky to say this near New Year's Eve.
But after saying this, Tao Niang couldn't help but look at Ah Zheng again.
Since Ah Zheng is not afraid to bring up the issue of his own mother, then...
"I'm not sad." Ah Zheng seemed to sense Tao Niang's worry, and showed a small smile, "I said, it was Mom's own choice, wasn't it? She is loyal to her choice and is willing to die for it It's no use feeling sorry for her."
He rubbed the red plum with his toes, melted into the snow, and said lightly: "Besides, it will be a matter of time before I, Aye, marry again."
"Marry again?"
At that time, Tao Niang didn't know that the person Ah Zheng was referring to was Emperor Zhengshi.
"Although he hasn't agreed to it for several years, in the end he will. It's not for me, but to stabilize his position. I guess, many people are regretting how they were deceived by his illusion in the first place." Ah Zheng was silent. After a while, he said softly, "I know he has someone he cares about very much, but who can tell clearly about the interests?"
Tao Niang always felt that Ah Zheng was thinking too much at such a young age.
This child who is only five or six years old, why does he have so many feelings?
It turned out that Emperor Zhengshi had abandoned the harem all these years, and it wasn't true that there was no one there.
But there are no new concubines in the palace, and I have not heard other rumors, but I have heard vaguely that maybe the emperor has a habit of cutting off sleeves, but no one can prove it, and it is only nonsense.
Tao Niang patted her small face, and focused on Aye.
Now that she has grown up, there is still nothing beside Aye.
Occasionally, she would see her uncle sitting in the courtyard, looking at the white clouds in the sky from a distance, with a calm and elegant expression, as if she was just enjoying the beautiful scenery on a sunny day.
But Mo Yuanze told her in private that every time his uncle behaved like this, he was thinking of him.
That is a long, longing that cannot be shortened.
If there was such a person by Aye's side, wouldn't he be happier?
Tao Niang sometimes wonders, is she Aye's drag?
Without her, in Mo Jingchun's identity, it would be a simple matter to marry again.
After sending Tao Niang and others back, Chen Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief. After counting the number of female students, there were not many girls and no one was injured. Then she took Liu Hong back to her place, and sighed along the way, " I finally know that the teachers in the school are hard to be human, and I always worry about taking the students out, for fear that something will go wrong..."
"Miss Mo seems a little weird." Liu Hong said suddenly.
Chen Wenxiu paused, "What's weird? She found out my identity? That's impossible, right? With all the secrecy measures up to this point, I can still suspect..." Pity her mask, she dared not even take it off when she was sleeping. I'm starting to have small pimples, which is really annoying.
Liu Hong shook her head slowly, and said hesitantly: "...I think she seems to be concerned about your relationship with Mo Shangshu?"
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Chen Wenxiu, who was drinking water, suddenly choked out, coughing in embarrassment, and beat her chest desperately.
She understood immediately, and then coughed wildly.
Liu Hong hurried over and patted her on the back of the vest, and when she recovered, she saw Chen Wenxiu's face turn red and then white, white and then black, showing a look of crying, "Well, how dare I Go think about Mo Shangshu... At most, I just admire him, you know if you admire him!"
She stared at Liu Hong and emphasized very seriously.
Liu Hong nodded slowly, "My servant knows."
Of course Chen Wenxiu didn't think that way about Mo Jingchun, she regretted her life very much.
As soon as Chen Wenxiu showed the relaxation of escaping after the catastrophe, Liu Hong said hesitantly: "...But, the servant girl knows, that hidden guard may not know."
what!
There are hidden guards beside Tao Niang?
When Chen Wenxiu thought of that shitty, vicious, and tyrannical emperor, he wanted to lie down straight and pretend to be a corpse.After a long while, she jumped up suddenly, grabbed Liu Hong and ran out, "Let's go, let a few drivers prepare, we'll go back today—"
Originally, they planned to wait until tomorrow before going back.
As a result, under Chen Wenxiu's urging, they were very rude, and they left in embarrassment without even telling the master. Even when Mo Jingchun received the news, they had already boarded the carriage.
Mo Jingchun: "..."
He glanced at Tao Niang suspiciously.
She looked up in a daze, and said softly, "We had a good chat today."
Seeing that Tao Niang didn't know the inside story, Mo Jingchun didn't think about it anymore, but said to Wei Yi, "Send someone to protect them back, so that they don't have to go to the city gate during the curfew."
"Here."
After Wei Yi left, Tao Niang said strangely: "Why did the dean leave?"
Mo Jingchun shook his head, looked at An Niang who had eaten well and was holding on to the bell, "Maybe he thought of something important." His eyes were dark.
Chen Wenxiu was very cautious, if it wasn't a big deal, she wouldn't leave in such a rude manner.
Well, later tonight, I will invite a hidden guard to ask about it.
As Mo Jingchun thought about it, he suddenly felt that the little finger of his left hand was pinched gently and gently.
The whole family was not there.
For the Mo family, this has become commonplace.
Every time the flavor of the new year is strong, it will be somewhat sentimental, but apart from the adults, Tao Niang and An Niang are still children, even Tao Niang is only in her teens, and has not yet experienced the horror.
Fireworks and firecrackers were set off outside, blasting the splendor of the courtyard.Tao Niang has carried little An Niang to the highest place in Mo Mansion.When climbing up and watching, An Niang leaned in the arms of the second sister and said in a low voice: "I love my sister, why didn't my brother come back?"
An Niang couldn't remember Mo Guangsheng, nor could she remember Mo Feihe.
But she still remembers the half-grown boy who would come to tease her every day.
Tao Niang heard that An Niang was a little immature, she still couldn't speak clearly, she couldn't understand what "two" said, and she was also a little depressed.
However, Tao Niang did not show a depressed and sad expression, but smiled at An Niang, "Brother is still training himself so that he can protect his family and country in the future, just like uncle and grandfather."
An Niang nodded with a vague understanding, and was soon attracted by the fireworks exploding in the sky.
The two children were playing outside, Xu Sumei sent someone to watch, but she and Mo Jingchun were sitting in the main hall.
Talking about small talk is a bit strange, but it can be regarded as a commonplace.
Originally, the relationship between Mo Jingchun and Xu Sumei should avoid suspicion, and it is reasonable not to be too close.
But the situation in Mo's house is like this, Mo Jingchun is in charge of the outside, but Xu Sumei is in charge of the housework internally. After coming and going, the relationship between sister-in-law and uncle is no longer so strict.
In Xu Sumei's view, Mo Jingchun was more like her brother, who talked about everything.
Listening to the commotion outside, she was wearing a light pink cotton gown with a narrow collar and a pair of soft-soled shoes on her feet. In this festive festival, she was dressed in a rather simple and elegant way, even on her head, there was only one Root hosta.
When she doesn't have to face outside entertainment, Xu Sumei doesn't like to put so much rouge and powder on her face.
"Ziqing, according to rough calculations, Taoniang is almost fifteen years old," Xu Sumei said unhurriedly, "now, people are starting to look at her, what do you think?"
They are all from her own family, so Xu Sumei's words are not so tactful.
In this case, it is impossible for her to tell Tao Niang.
I can only tell Mo Jingchun, who is a father, first, so I have a plan.Although Xu Sumei took Tao Niang out, Mo Jingchun was her father.
Mo Jingchun was silent for a moment, "It's still a year or two, it's too early." He sighed, "If I can choose, I hope Tao Niang can meet someone I like."
Xu Sumei thought of Mo Jingchun's experience, and didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, "As a parent, I can only help you take a look. If you like it or not, it must be Tao Niang's favorite, and that's the only way to count. I'm a little younger now, but it's okay to look ahead. Anyway. I have a bottom line in my heart, lest I be in a hurry..."
Her words reminded her of what happened to Princess Kongxiu before.
All the rich and powerful children of the right age in the capital got married in a hurry because of this matter, and they didn't know what the result would be.However, they were able to select candidates so quickly, thanks to their previous preparations and acquaintances, which are all the same reason.
Mo Jingchun: "It's okay to take a look, but these days, there are rumors outside..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Sumei interrupted him with a smile, "Don't worry about this, you and the Mo family are inseparable, don't think about those weird thoughts, Ziqing, if you weren't here, you You think Zhimei and her father are outside, how can they be so safe?" She sighed and said helplessly.
"There are only three or four generals in the court, and half of them are from the Mo family. How can you not suspect us?" Xu Sumei's brows were slightly tired, "If you don't say it, they don't say it. can not tell?"
Chaozhong originally had three generals, but after Chang Ping was invited back to train the navy, there were four.
Mo Jingchun: "This is His Majesty's wisdom."
Xu Sumei smiled and said nothing.
wise?
Maybe so.
In the short few years of his reign, militarism is not counted, but there are also wars.The power of the clan was stripped away silently, and the family... Xu Sumei thought of the Lin family, and then thought of the attack this time.The matter was resolved very quickly and quietly, such a fast speed, unlike... when Mo Jingchun had an accident before, the matter about King Xuhuai dragged on for a long time, and died with such a bleak and strange end ...That was to guard against other royal families... After all, this new assassination, apart from the rebels, did not show any traces of interference from other clans...
Xu Sumei thought of a lot.
After realizing that these two accidents, Emperor Zhengshi handled them differently, she guessed that this time the curtain ended so quickly, maybe there was something hidden behind the scenes.
Some of Emperor Zhengshi's behaviors were too paranoid, but on the surface he was still calm and sophisticated, keeping his direction firmly.
Xu Sumei unexpectedly thought of the Yingchuan Lin family in the past few years... from a famous family to the point where no one can save it, this is really...
Xu Sumei slowly looked at Mo Jingchun, he was looking at Tao Niang and An Niang who were walking towards here.
A long-buried worry resurfaced in my heart.
...
After the second day of the new year, there are not many etiquettes that need to be busy.
Mo Jingchun took some time out of his busy schedule to take Tao Niang and An Niang for a stroll around the Biezhuang on the outskirts of Beijing.The Mo family didn't only have this one courtyard, there were several scattered in other places, all of which were fertile fields.
But here is the closest, and it is more convenient to go back and forth.
For the two little girls who have been trapped in the mansion, this is already far away.
After all, it is not always possible to go to Tan Qingshan.
Since what happened last time, Tan Qingshan's Huaguang Temple probably lost a lot of incense. After all, it has only been a few days, and the panic has not dissipated.
Tao Niang sat on the carriage and looked outside, while An Niang was lying in the carriage happily and sleeping.
The nurse and the maid sat in the small carriage behind and brought a lot of things.
Tao Niang, who was lying on the car window, looked away, looked at the sleeping little girl and was silent for a while, holding her little face and said helplessly: "What should I do, Aye, will An Niang become a little girl in the future?" Piggy?"
Mo Jingchun was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, when he heard this, he said with a smile, "Why do you think so?"
In fact, he wanted to ask more, how did Tao Niang know about Piggy?
Maybe it was seen on the villa before?
Tao Niang said happily: "An Niang is always sleeping. I calculated that An Niang can sleep for six or seven hours in a day of twelve. Doctor Qin is going to prescribe medicine for An Niang again."
Mo Jingchun smiled, "She is still young and gets tired easily."
Tao Niang knew that An Niang was not in good health, so she held her chin and said, "It would be great if my aunt could come out with us." Right now, she is too busy.
Mo Jingchun shook his head, even if there was a chance, Xu Sumei would not.
This is not going to a lively place like Tan Qingshan, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Sumei and Mo Jingchun seldom go together.
But with such a complicated relationship, he has no intention of talking about it for the time being. He glanced at Tao Niang who was a little happy because she was going out, and said with a light smile, "Why are the eyes dark and blue? Is it because I didn't sleep well last night?"
Tao Niang forced a smile and said, "It's just a little late at night. Aye, the teacher taught me a new poem, and I'll recite it to you..." She quickly changed the subject, and loudly recited the long poem that she had just memorized in the past two days. I recited the poem.
Mo Jingchun nodded from time to time, as if listening carefully.
"Not bad, very proficient." After Tao Niang stopped, Mo Jingchun said approvingly, "I saw Ah Zheng's reply last night, so I couldn't sleep?"
Tao Niang pinched her face and said sullenly: "Didn't you guess everything? Why do you still ask me?"
Mo Jingchun: "Maybe there are other accidents."
Tao Niang believed that Aye hadn’t read the letter, so she said hesitantly, “Ah Zheng apologized to me because he knew me…” She glanced at Mo Jingchun cautiously, and said quickly, “After you don’t like someone, , I was afraid that I would not like him because of his identity, so I kept hiding it and dared not say anything."
Someone... Isn't this the shining Emperor Zhengshi?
Tao Niang may not have guessed his relationship with His Majesty, but her rejection of Emperor Zhengshi is obvious... Mo Jingchun's eyes darkened, Tao Niang is still very sensitive on these matters, and His Majesty did not hide it earlier. Tao Niang felt the killing intent of living more or less.
Mo Jingchun: "Isn't this very good?"
He didn't seem to understand the meaning of Tao Niang's words, and said encouragingly, "Being open and honest is the first rule of making friends."
Tao Niang thought for a while, and gradually showed a small smile.
It seemed that the panic just now had been swept away, and he began to enjoy the scenery outside happily again.
When they arrived at the Biezhuang, Tao Niang looked at the other parked carriages, and suddenly remembered what Aye had said before, that there were some other guests in the Biezhuang.
She looked at Mo Jingchun, "Aye, they are..."
She saw the steward of the villa approaching, and could hear a lively female voice from a distance.
He paused, "Although the dean is young, he is very capable."
Tao Niang didn't feel much about Mo Jingchun's "young age" at first, but when she saw Chen Wenxiu, she opened her mouth slightly in surprise.In her opinion, Chen Wenxiu, who is not a few years older than her, can become the dean of an academy, which is really amazing.
After the two parties met the ceremony, Chen Wenxiu first said to Mo Jingchun: "Thank you Shangshu for lending us this place, but the 'donation' money you sent earlier, uh, is a bit out of order."
Mo Jingchun looked at Chen Wenxiu's embarrassed expression, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with it?"
[To raise funds, they need to collect things, and then after they are auctioned off by rich buyers, the funds obtained will be donated to the women's academy, and the things that are auctioned will belong to the buyers.This is a charitable activity, and the things that are photographed may not have their value, the value lies in the meaning]
Jingguai explained in a timely manner, allowing Mo Jingchun to understand the difference.
In fact, if Mo Jingchun can see how these two characters are written, it may not be impossible to guess what they mean.
He heard Chen Wenxiu explain to him seriously, and then showed a small smile, "The first fundraising has ended years ago, thanks to Jiao's generosity, many of these things are supported by them Yes, they bought a lot in the end." She glanced at Mo Jingchun, then at Tao Niang beside her, "That day, this little girl also went, I thought you already knew gone."
Mo Jingchun recalled in a daze that he had guessed the reason why Jiao's opened the flower viewing banquet before, but he didn't expect it to be for this...
He changed his mind and decided to find Mohen later.
Mohen was in charge of this matter, but some news was delayed.
Mo Jingchun said with a faint smile: "Since that's the case, then change it to donation, the difference is not too big."
Chen Wenxiu muttered, "That's a big difference", and said, "The amount of money you sent is too much. When I turn around, I will ask someone to send some of the intercepted things to Mo's house. Please don't refuse, Shangshu." As soon as she finished speaking, a young man came hurriedly in the distance.
"Dean Chen, over there..."
Mo Jingchun said goodbye to Chen Wenxiu who was about to go to work, and led Tao Niang and An Niang inside.
Looking young, but very mature.
In front of Mo Jingchun, he didn't look cowardly at all.Although the etiquette and words are correct, it always gives Tao Niang an illusion that she is not used to.And... Tao Niang touched her face and looked at Mo Jingchun.
She always felt that the dean didn't feel that kind of awe in front of Aye.
This is not an action on the surface, but more like an invisible illusion.
Tao Niang thought for a while, but did not say this.
Mo Jingchun said with a smile: "Biezhuang has allocated half an acre of land to them. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." Chen Wenxiu's ideas are always wild, but Mo Jingchun is not afraid to get along with her .
Tao Niang's eyes lit up, and she took An Niang with her after a while.
Mo Jingchun said that he didn't intend to restrain them, so he really didn't intend to stop them, but called Mohen in, and asked about the Women's Academy and Jiao's.
Mo Hen leaned forward and said, "Mr. Jiao, the small matter of Jiao's family was only checked because the girl was going, but on the surface, it seemed that there was no problem. There were no rumors about it in the market. It looks more like a tacit understanding between the Jiao family and the Women's Academy."
Mo Jingchun frowned, and after thinking about it, Chen Wenxiu used some method to hook up with the Jiao family, and then used Jiao's reputation to start a fundraiser... and the fundraiser has a charity name, which sounds like a good one. Good deed, but why doesn't anyone know about it?On that day, even the news of Kang Yujia's accident was far more widely spread than this incident...
Is it because of Kang Yujia's accident, if it has something to do with the first fundraising, it will be bad for his reputation?
This is also possible.
But the most important thing is that maybe these aristocratic families are still not sure how to treat this academy.
They were frightened by Emperor Zhengshi recently, and they wanted to put more effort into the things that the emperor acquiesced, but they were too afraid, and instead provoked His Majesty's displeasure, and when they still couldn't figure out the distance, it would be better not to say anything?
Mo Jingchun praised the prudence of these aristocratic families in his heart.
However, this is also in exchange for many accidents before.
Far away from the capital city, the tranquility and ease and peace emerge, which makes people feel lazy and do not want to move.Mo Jingchun stayed in the courtyard for half a day, and when Tao Niang and An Niang came back like little cats, it was almost evening.
Mo Jingchun said with a smile: "If my sister-in-law sees you like this, wouldn't she be very angry?"
Xu Sumei is still somewhat obsessive about etiquette and tidiness.
An Niang said in a childish voice, "Ni Ni, so stubborn!"
Those big bright eyes are enough to show the porcelain doll's liking.
Tao Niang coughed lightly, besides being with An Niang, she naturally did other things.For example, follow Chen Wenxiu and the others to observe the fields in winter, and then take care of the wheat seedlings... It was the first time she realized that there were so many interesting things in the farmland in winter.
Mo Jingchun and the others originally planned to stay here for two days before going back, Tao Niang whispered: "Aye, can I follow them to the back mountain tomorrow?"
Mo Jingchun closed the book and thought for a while: "Okay, but you have to bring a few attendants, and if there is an accident, you must withdraw immediately. Also, listen to Mohen." 2
He glanced at Mohen, who bowed slightly.
Tao Niang's eyes lit up, "Good!"
The next day, Tao Niang joined the people from the girls' academy early, and then went to climb the mountain.An Niang is still young, no matter how much she likes her, she can't run around with them, so Tao Niang has no choice but to put An Niang beside Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun glanced at An Niang who was sitting next to An Xin holding the mud, smiled wryly and shook her head.
If after returning home, An Niang can't find Ni Ni to be stubborn, if she starts crying, then it's...
When he thought of his sister-in-law's appearance, he shuddered for a moment.
Mo Jingchun casually stopped An Niang from moving something into her mouth, and said with a smile, "This is not edible."
An Niang pouted, "This is what An Niang made, cake."
Mo Jingchun glanced at the appalling "mud cake" in An Niang's little hand, and said with a smile: "An Niang, after the food is ready, you have to send it to the kitchen and wait for it to be steamed before eating, remember?"
He didn't know how the pastry was made, so he could only talk about it casually.
An Niang thought about it very seriously, and finally handed the finished pastry to the nanny so that she could send this plate of "pastry" to the kitchen.
Mo Jingchun said without changing expression: "What did An Niang do?"
An Niang's little hand was washing her hands in the basin, it was warm, she thought for a while, "Milk Cake."
She can only eat a small piece every three days, but she is greedy.
Mo Jingchun smiled, "Tell the kitchen to heat up the milk cake and bring it here."
The nurse backed away knowingly.
Not long after, the fragrant pastries were brought up, and the little body that was originally attached to Mo Jingchun's body bounced up suddenly, watching the nanny walk over eagerly.
Mo Jingchun: "This is outside, so..."
With a drawn out voice, he looked at An Niang who was looking at him anxiously, "You can secretly eat another piece."
An Niang stretched out a chubby little hand.
Start counting your fingers.
One.
Another one.
It's two yuan!
An Niang's big eyes lit up.
The nurse gave her one piece, and put the other on the handkerchief beside her.
An Niang gnawed in small bites and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Mo Jingchunxin took a piece in his hand, looked at the sky outside, and was about to ask someone to check the situation in the back mountain, when he felt his ticklish waist being pinched moderately.
Mo Jingchun, who was eating, swallowed the pastry silently and quickly.
Your Majesty is getting impatient again?
Mo Jingchun thought of the silence of the past few days, he originally thought that Emperor Zhengshi had lost interest in playing with dolls.
It was just an unintentional touch, Mo Jingchun waited and found no other movement, so he didn't think about it, but picked up hot tea, intending to relieve his boredom.
As soon as the warm thirst-quenching tea slipped down his throat, Mo Jingchun coughed violently.
The choked water wet the clothes in front of him, causing him to pull the handkerchief to cover his mouth in embarrassment, and then coughed again and again.The attendants, as well as the nanny and maid who served An Niang looked over one after another. Wei Yi took a few steps forward and said worriedly, "Your Majesty?"
Mo Jingchun waved his hands, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said hoarsely, "I'm choking, I'm going to change my clothes." His clothes were wet, and it was normal to change another one.
When he got up slowly, Mo Jingchun paused slightly, and looked back at An Niang who was still looking at him blankly.
The child's innocent eyes made Mo Jingchun very ashamed, but he still insisted and said, "Wei Yi, you and the nanny look at An Niang, I will come as soon as I go."
Wei Yi nodded and retreated to his original position.
In his opinion, Mo Jingchun was just going to change clothes, and there was really no danger.
Mo Jingchun's walking speed was not fast.
Even very, very slowly.
If he hadn't walked naturally and hadn't encountered anything just now, Wei Yi would have suspected that he was injured.It was only when Mo Jingchun left, or in other words, dawdled out of the house, that his footsteps became unsteady and staggered.
Incoherent, unsteady steps hurriedly sounded.
It was as if he couldn't support himself right now, so he supported his waist and felt the position of his stomach, as if the pastries and tea he ate just now were enough to make him swell enough to hold his stomach, and his face paled in pain.But the staggering when he walked was a little different, as if he was afraid that something would not hold back.
It will be a thousand miles away.
Mo Jingchun left in a hurry, and it took almost half an hour to leave.
When he came back again, Wei Yi clearly felt Lang Jun's exhausted and tired appearance, and his toes couldn't help moving slightly, "Lang Jun?"
Mo Jingchun waved his hand weakly at him, "It's nothing, I just went to visit..."
He gritted his teeth and held back the word.
Mo Jingchun let out a sigh of relief, looked at the little chubby girl who had fallen asleep on her own because there was no adult to accompany her, and said to herself: "It seems that when we go back, we still have to..."
His voice was so soft that he couldn't hear clearly, and then he asked people to continue watching An Niang to rest.
Mo Jingchun didn't dare to stay with An Niang anymore.
It's all for him to make a fool of himself, but if he makes a fool of himself in front of little An Niang, is he really going to commit suicide and apologize?
As soon as he thought of the weird, crazy, painful swelling mixed with pleasure, Mo Jingchun couldn't help pinching the center of his brows and sighing.
What are you doing, Your Majesty?
Back Mountain.
Tao Niang was following behind Chen Wenxiu and the others, watching with great concentration a tall man who was explaining to them the troubles and dangers they would encounter in the wild, and then told them step by step how to find them from the terrain behind the mountain. Water source, how to arrange traps according to the terrain...
This is the bodyguard specially invited by Chen Wenxiu, he travels around all the year round, as long as he is paid, he can do anything.When Chen Wenxiu invited them to teach these little girls, she didn't show any strange expressions.
Walking darts outside is also work, and teaching here is also work.
As long as he has money, he never cares what his employer thinks.
After the bodyguard told about his previous adventure, Tao Niang and other female students breathed a sigh of relief.Then follow the bodyguard and start to identify the marks and feces on the ground, because in this way, the surrounding dangers and prey can be distinguished in time.
Or, sometimes, large prey can also become hunters.
And they are the prey.
Tao Niang followed Chen Wenxiu in amazement, "How could you think of hiring someone to teach them this?"
Chen Wenxiu sighed and said, "Nowadays the academy is not standardized, there is only one teacher who is serious about teaching, and now we are still recruiting good teachers, but besides the young female students, there are also teenagers, nearly eighteen. They It may not be possible to stay in the academy for a long time, I think I have to teach them more, if they want to farm the land in the future, if they want to leave the capital, they must not be so blind, they will know nothing."
Tao Niang agreed in her heart.
Sometimes the reason why people can't figure out a solution is not necessarily because they are stupid, but because they have never encountered it before and have no relevant knowledge; it is also because the unknown is the most fearful.
Because Tao Niang is Mo Jingchun's daughter, Chen Wenxiu also took good care of her. When Tao Niang was puzzled, she laughed heartily, "Mo Shangshu saved my life. If Mo Shangshu didn't exist, I would have It may not be possible to stand here now."
Thinking of that terrifying emperor, Chen Wenxiu couldn't help but shudder.
Tao Niang listened, but her expression was a little strange.
The dean seemed to admire Aye very much, and when he talked about Mo Jingchun, he was full of praise. Could it be... She glanced at Chen Wenxiu and felt that the dean's thinking was very unique and out of the ordinary. In addition, they are also very cautious and restrained, all for the sake of female students.
Now she knew why Aye admired this old lady.
Tao Niang murmured, unfortunately, the dean's age...
She said furtively, "You this year..."
Her voice dropped again.
Suddenly hearing Tao Niang's words, Chen Wenxiu was also at a loss for a moment, "Huh?" She uttered a syllable stiffly, and then looked at Liu Hong.
Speaking of which, Chen Wenxiu didn't know how old she was.
When she was brought out by King Mingchun, she should be twelve or thirteen years old, and after several years, should she be sixteen or seventeen, or seventeen or eighteen?
Liu Hong silently looked at Chen Wenxiu's face that looked no more than fifteen, "...Nineteen."
Turns out I'm 19 years old.
Chen Wenxiu thought so in her heart.
Tao Niang opened her eyes wide, looking at Chen Wenxiu's appearance, she really didn't want to believe that she was almost twenty.
"So young, with a baby face." Chen Wenxiu pinched her own face, then looked at Tao Niang.
This is asking her invisibly why she is asking this question.
Tao Niang said with a smile: "I originally thought that the principal was only fourteen or five years old, and I also thought that he was not much older than me. But now that you are so old, you have shouldered such responsibilities, which is really admirable." What is on her mind can't be said out loud, Tao Niang, a shrewd and capable little brain, made up a very reasonable reason after a second thought.
Chen Wenxiu smiled, "Here, nineteen is considered a big one."
Listening to Chen Wenxiu's strange tone, Tao Niang nodded slowly, "Being engaged on the [-]th and [-]th is a common occurrence, and getting married on the [-]th and [-]th is already too late for girls."
Chen Wenxiu frowned, "It's so early, yes. But if you give birth at such a young age, it will be a bit of a loss to your body."
Tao Niang opened her mouth slightly, thinking silently, she hasn't left the cabinet yet...
Liu Hong quickly said: "Dean, Miss Mo hasn't left the cabinet yet."
Chen Wenxiu received Liu Hong's hint, smiled awkwardly, touched the back of her head and said, "That's all, you can't talk nonsense..."
Tao Niang: "Well, this is also part of the knowledge you mentioned. It's okay to talk about it." She calmed down, her ears were slightly red, and she didn't look at Chen Wenxiu again.
Chen Wenxiu thought for a while, "The human body is not yet fully developed when it is fifteen or sixteen years old. It is considered to be fully grown when it is at least seventeen or eighty-nine years old. If it is too young, it will easily damage the body. Women are disadvantaged. But..." She thought about the overall life expectancy of the current dynasty, and early marriage and early childbearing are also for survival.
It's not like in the future, you can live to seventy or eighty.
Chen Wenxiu was taken aback, in the future, which future?
Chen Wenxiu didn't stop at this embarrassing topic, and followed Tao Niang, explaining a lot of interesting knowledge to her while walking, and when everyone was exhausted and paralyzed in the evening, supporting each other down the mountain, Tao Niang looked at Chen Wenxiu His eyes are already sparkling.
She remembered Aye's praise for Chen Wenxiu, and Chen Wenxiu's admiration when he mentioned Mo Jingchun. If it was this person, even though they were a little similar in age, Tao Niang would not reject her.
She remembered that day when she and Ah Zheng met in Jiao's Plum Garden.
Ah Zheng invited Tao Niang to look around the red plum grove, and then said with a smile: "No matter how many times I see it, plums are my favorite."
Tao Niang smiled and said, "Why?"
Ah Zhengdao: "This is my aunt's favorite flower. She thinks that this kind of plum blossom is proud and blooms in the cold. As for me, I think that the bright red color sprinkled on the white snow complements each other beautifully."
Tao Niang squinted at Ah Zheng, rubbed his little head angrily, "Why did you say it so gloomy, you ruined all the beautiful mood your mother said." It sounds like, It's like blood red splashing on the white ground. It's very unlucky to say this near New Year's Eve.
But after saying this, Tao Niang couldn't help but look at Ah Zheng again.
Since Ah Zheng is not afraid to bring up the issue of his own mother, then...
"I'm not sad." Ah Zheng seemed to sense Tao Niang's worry, and showed a small smile, "I said, it was Mom's own choice, wasn't it? She is loyal to her choice and is willing to die for it It's no use feeling sorry for her."
He rubbed the red plum with his toes, melted into the snow, and said lightly: "Besides, it will be a matter of time before I, Aye, marry again."
"Marry again?"
At that time, Tao Niang didn't know that the person Ah Zheng was referring to was Emperor Zhengshi.
"Although he hasn't agreed to it for several years, in the end he will. It's not for me, but to stabilize his position. I guess, many people are regretting how they were deceived by his illusion in the first place." Ah Zheng was silent. After a while, he said softly, "I know he has someone he cares about very much, but who can tell clearly about the interests?"
Tao Niang always felt that Ah Zheng was thinking too much at such a young age.
This child who is only five or six years old, why does he have so many feelings?
It turned out that Emperor Zhengshi had abandoned the harem all these years, and it wasn't true that there was no one there.
But there are no new concubines in the palace, and I have not heard other rumors, but I have heard vaguely that maybe the emperor has a habit of cutting off sleeves, but no one can prove it, and it is only nonsense.
Tao Niang patted her small face, and focused on Aye.
Now that she has grown up, there is still nothing beside Aye.
Occasionally, she would see her uncle sitting in the courtyard, looking at the white clouds in the sky from a distance, with a calm and elegant expression, as if she was just enjoying the beautiful scenery on a sunny day.
But Mo Yuanze told her in private that every time his uncle behaved like this, he was thinking of him.
That is a long, longing that cannot be shortened.
If there was such a person by Aye's side, wouldn't he be happier?
Tao Niang sometimes wonders, is she Aye's drag?
Without her, in Mo Jingchun's identity, it would be a simple matter to marry again.
After sending Tao Niang and others back, Chen Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief. After counting the number of female students, there were not many girls and no one was injured. Then she took Liu Hong back to her place, and sighed along the way, " I finally know that the teachers in the school are hard to be human, and I always worry about taking the students out, for fear that something will go wrong..."
"Miss Mo seems a little weird." Liu Hong said suddenly.
Chen Wenxiu paused, "What's weird? She found out my identity? That's impossible, right? With all the secrecy measures up to this point, I can still suspect..." Pity her mask, she dared not even take it off when she was sleeping. I'm starting to have small pimples, which is really annoying.
Liu Hong shook her head slowly, and said hesitantly: "...I think she seems to be concerned about your relationship with Mo Shangshu?"
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Chen Wenxiu, who was drinking water, suddenly choked out, coughing in embarrassment, and beat her chest desperately.
She understood immediately, and then coughed wildly.
Liu Hong hurried over and patted her on the back of the vest, and when she recovered, she saw Chen Wenxiu's face turn red and then white, white and then black, showing a look of crying, "Well, how dare I Go think about Mo Shangshu... At most, I just admire him, you know if you admire him!"
She stared at Liu Hong and emphasized very seriously.
Liu Hong nodded slowly, "My servant knows."
Of course Chen Wenxiu didn't think that way about Mo Jingchun, she regretted her life very much.
As soon as Chen Wenxiu showed the relaxation of escaping after the catastrophe, Liu Hong said hesitantly: "...But, the servant girl knows, that hidden guard may not know."
what!
There are hidden guards beside Tao Niang?
When Chen Wenxiu thought of that shitty, vicious, and tyrannical emperor, he wanted to lie down straight and pretend to be a corpse.After a long while, she jumped up suddenly, grabbed Liu Hong and ran out, "Let's go, let a few drivers prepare, we'll go back today—"
Originally, they planned to wait until tomorrow before going back.
As a result, under Chen Wenxiu's urging, they were very rude, and they left in embarrassment without even telling the master. Even when Mo Jingchun received the news, they had already boarded the carriage.
Mo Jingchun: "..."
He glanced at Tao Niang suspiciously.
She looked up in a daze, and said softly, "We had a good chat today."
Seeing that Tao Niang didn't know the inside story, Mo Jingchun didn't think about it anymore, but said to Wei Yi, "Send someone to protect them back, so that they don't have to go to the city gate during the curfew."
"Here."
After Wei Yi left, Tao Niang said strangely: "Why did the dean leave?"
Mo Jingchun shook his head, looked at An Niang who had eaten well and was holding on to the bell, "Maybe he thought of something important." His eyes were dark.
Chen Wenxiu was very cautious, if it wasn't a big deal, she wouldn't leave in such a rude manner.
Well, later tonight, I will invite a hidden guard to ask about it.
As Mo Jingchun thought about it, he suddenly felt that the little finger of his left hand was pinched gently and gently.
