One of the Red Buildings: Three Thousand Miles

"Master, did you agree to Mo Xuan just like this?" From Mrs. Shi's voice, no emotion could be heard.

Except for Mo Xuanmen, Master Shi suddenly realized that something was wrong when he thought about it.Because he couldn't see Mo Xuan's suffering, he spoke quickly without thinking about the consequences.Mrs. Shi was upset, and Master Shi didn't know how to end it.

Master Shi was a little embarrassed, his old face was flushed, and he was very ashamed.Originally, Mo Xuan's marriage was an agenda set by Mrs. Shi after discussing with him for a long time, and it took a lot of effort. Let's meet each other and see if they are suitable for each other, then we will make an appointment for Mo Xuan's marriage after the new year.When Hou Xuan married a wife, Mo Xuan could continue to marry.

Originally it was well thought out, Mrs. Shi also told Mr. Shi about those families, now Mr. Shi has been in the capital for a long time, and he also knows the people in the capital, so he is very moved by Mrs. Shi's good intentions.Don't look at her as the aunt, Mrs. Shi has not cared less about Mo Xuan's affairs.It's a pity that Master Shi's heart softened for a moment, and he agreed to Mo Xuan. Mrs. Shi didn't get angry at that time, but just went back to the house, and Mrs. Shi got into trouble.

Master Shi knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't explain it. He just smiled wryly and said to Mrs. Shi, "Ma'am, is it for your husband? Just seeing Mo Xuan like that, my heart as a father... feels uncomfortable." Die. That girl has always been strong, and she is an obedient, sensible and filial child. Thinking of this, I really can't bear to look at her like that."

After all, it was the precious girl whom he had loved for more than ten years, Master Shi still preferred Mo Xuan in his heart.People are like this, no matter whether this thing is good or bad, as long as it is what you like, even if you later know that you like it wrong, but out of habit, you will still have a good impression of this thing, and you will be very kind when you see it, or even like that. love forever.This habit of inertia is expressed in Master Shi, which is the unspeakable selfless love for Mo Xuan.

Mrs. Shi was angry, she couldn't bear to see Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan was already like that, yet Master Shi was still sticking to his shell to protect him.Sui's voice became even colder, "If the master doesn't care, I don't care about being so arrogant. There are so many children in the family, and I can't even ask about my own, let alone those few concubine children. I just want to Now, Xuanxuan is grown up now, when she gets married, Mo Xuan will still stay at home, let's see who looks good!"

Master Shi was taken aback, and forgot about this. He couldn't help but look at Mrs. Shi and said worriedly, "Xuanxuan is only so old, will it be too fast?" Things are also very caring.

Seeing Master Shi like this, Mrs. Shi looked a little better, and said lightly, "I always want to marry. She is not very old, but the other party is not young. I searched and said that in a few years, But Xuanxuan’s marriage has come to the door, and Mo Xuan is still at home, do you think it’s okay to treat her?” Mrs. Shi paused, and waved her hand, “Do the math, anyway, you two have your own ideas, I What are you worrying about, but, master, I put this here. I don't care about Mo Xuan's marriage. You let Aunt Liu figure it out. When they feel better, tell me back, and I will give you the dowry money. According to the photo, but this matter, they can toss it themselves."

Seeing that Mrs. Shi was angry, Master Shi also pondered something in his heart, isn't it, without his aunt's involvement in the marriage, even if Mo Xuan married according to his own wishes, would he be able to live well in the future?It's strange that people before and behind can raise their heads!

Master Shi turned around and wanted to discuss with Mrs. Shi again, but Mrs. Shi got up angrily and left.Master Shi sat alone on the chair with his head tilted, thinking hard.

After Mrs. Shi left, Xuanxuan was still staying where Mo Xuan was, looking at Mo Xuan with a happy face, Xuanxuan fell silent.She didn't understand why Mo Xuan sharpened his head and insisted on going to the royal family. Although Mo Xuan was pretty, how could a flower like her suddenly appear in the imperial garden full of flowers?To enter the harem is to enter politics, the current low position of the Shi family, it is impossible to provide her with any protection, what kind of attraction does such a life give her!

Mo Xuan struggled to sit up, drank the porridge that Xuanxuan brought her, saw Xuanxuan's bewildered face, smiled, with a smug expression, and rarely said to Xuanxuan in a calm tone, "People go to high places. Go, I knew from a very young age that I will get nothing if I don't fight. I will hold my parents' love, my life, and even my future in my own hands, and I will never let others control .”

Xuanxuan couldn't help persuading, "Sister, but there are some places that you can't make a fortune if you want to go there. Mother said, it's a place that eats people without spitting out their bones, a world where you can't cry or be sad when you are dead or injured. For a family like ours, there is no other way out but to fight on your own, but what can you do if you fight by yourself? What do you do if you can’t get up after being wronged? Sister, let’s be realistic, it’s too cruel there.”

Mo Xuan sneered, "Where is it not cruel?"

Xuanxuan choked for a moment, and said quietly, "But have you ever lived a life full of blank eyes? Do you know the feeling of being ignored by everyone? To tell you the truth, you have been smooth sailing for so many years, mother? I would like to be a villain, rather than not being able to do it. Big sister, you are living too comfortably, and you think the outside world is simple."

Mo Xuan looked at Xuanxuan mockingly, "Unfortunately, no matter how much you have suffered, the future is determined. In my life, I can lose to anyone, but I must not lose to you!"

Xuanxuan was speechless and could only get up and leave.Mo Xuan's obsession is too deep, and she doesn't know how to persuade her.

In the next few days, Mrs. Shi did not take care of Mo Xuan anymore, even Mo Xuan and Aunt Liu's greetings in the morning were omitted, and the daily sending of people to each child's room to inquire was also stopped. Apart from the fact that there was no deduction, Mrs. Shi directly pretended that the mother and daughter did not exist, spending money to support them like idlers.

Gradually, Master Shi also figured out something, Mrs. Shi was so angry, there was some truth to it.If you refute the words of the mistress, you will refute them. Then who will listen to the words of the mistress in the future?The general can't convince his soldiers, he will lose every battle on a regular basis, similarly, if the mistress of the house can't establish her prestige, who will listen to her?

So Master Shi was waiting, waiting for the day when Hou Xuan would release the ranking so that he could deal with it.

Ten days after Qiu Wei, the imperial city announced the announcement, Mrs. Shi sent someone to guard it early, and reported back at the first time, but unexpectedly, before the person who reported the report came, the one who played the trumpet came first.

Shi Houxuan, No.1 since then, the Holy Majesty has read his article, and he is very impressed.

Mrs. Shi sat here in a daze for a long time before she recovered.Fortunately, there was Xuanxuan at the side, who hurriedly gave the money to the messenger, and then took the money to the little boy who came to congratulate him outside the door. For a while, the whole Shifu was beaming with joy.

Mrs. Shi held Hou Xuan's hand tremblingly, shouted for a long time but couldn't continue, her excitement was beyond words.Hou Xuan patted his mother's back with a light smile, and said solemnly to Mrs. Shi, "Mother, my son passed the exam."

Madam Shi burst into tears with excitement, and kept nodding her head, "I passed the exam, my son passed the exam."

That night, she didn't prepare dishes at home, so Mrs. Shi went out with celebrities and went to the best restaurant in Beijing to order a table of dishes for takeaway.Originally, the restaurant didn't offer takeout, but it was heard that it was the champion of Jinke, so they made an exception and gave it away.When Master Lin Ruhai came back, the family sat down around the table lively, and Hou Xuan was not happy.

"My brother's knowledge is definitely not in vain. After ten years of hard work, he became famous all over the world. Brother, you are now famous all over the world!" Zhuangyuanlang, Zhuangyuanlang, this is not an ordinary person.Xuanxuan was so happy that she toasted Hou Xuan with a wine glass.

Hou Xuan drank it down with a smile. Years of hard study finally paid off, and he had to work hard for the rest.

Lin Ruhai was also very happy, and pulled Master Shi to keep drinking, saying that Master Shi was blessed and he had credit for it.Master Shi couldn't help but nodded, "No, Hou Xuan, if your uncle hadn't bothered to teach you for many years, you wouldn't be where you are today. Come on, come on, quickly bring a cup to your uncle, and you will be an official in the court in the future. Learn a lot from your uncle."

Speaking of being an official in the court, Mrs. Shi was worried again, "Master, Hou Xuan is now the number one scholar. This is in the court, but what position do you want to start from?" Mrs. Shi not only wanted Hou Xuan to stay in Beijing, but also wanted to Let Hou Xuan do something really useful.It is difficult to reconcile the positions of exiles with high positions and real power, unlike Beijing and Beijing, where there are radishes and pits where one must leave.But Mrs. Shi is here, Mrs. Shi must not leave, if Hou Xuan leaves, Mrs. Shi will be very concerned about it.

Master Shi pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, "A good man has ambitions everywhere, as long as he is given a chance to exercise, even if he is let go of a foreign job, he will let him go."

When Mrs. Shi heard this, her heart sank again.

Seeing this, Xuanxuan said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about it. My brother is already the number one scholar, what else is there to do? You have to think about it for the rest of your life. Are there three beauties in the world? My brother is now I've already been named on the gold list, so I just need to spend some time in the bridal chamber. Mother, when will you find me a sister-in-law to help me? I also want to be free."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Do you want to be a sister-in-law for Brother Hou Xuan, or do you want to find someone to take over your work, so that you are just being lazy?"

The old God Xuanxuan was shaking her head and said, "No, no, everyone is lazy, everyone is lazy."

"Hahaha..." Dexie and Zhao Jin laughed loudly.Mrs. Shi couldn't hold it anymore and was also amused.

Hou Xuan knocked Xuanxuan on the head with chopsticks, and laughed and cursed, "I told you to talk nonsense, it's not big or small."

Xuanxuan covered her head and lay down in Mrs. Shi's arms, covering her face and pretending to cry, "Mother, look at my brother, he doesn't care for his sister at all. He doesn't appreciate how much I have devoted to his life-long affairs. Mother, you You must be the master for me, you must not be blinded just because your brother became the number one scholar, there is no distinction between black and white, mother, you must be firm, I believe in you."

After Xuanxuan finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Shi with resolute eyes, as if she was still playing tricks, her posture seemed to say, "Mother, I believe in you, you will definitely vent your anger on my daughter!"

Mrs. Shi was so troubled that her depression was swept away, she patted Xuanxuan's forehead dumbfounded, and scolded, "Be honest with me, I'll only count you as poor-mouthed!"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Xuanxuan is filial, my sister is very lucky."

Mrs. Shi touched Xuanxuan's head with her backhand, "This girl is quite filial, she is becoming more and more sensible, and she deserves to suffer with me for so many years."

Master Shi was embarrassed and touched his nose in embarrassment.Seeing this, Lin Ruhai quickly changed the subject, "But Xuanxuan's words are still correct. Hou Xuan is now on the gold list, and this marriage should be put on the agenda. Sister has time, and she should also look for Hou Xuan to find someone with virtue and talent." A good woman who has both."

Mrs. Shi looked at Hou Xuan with loving and gentle eyes, nodded and said, "This makes sense, we should look at each other. I don't know which daughter-in-law I will go to."

Sitting on the seat, Mo Xuan said coldly watching Mrs. Shi and the others frolicking, feeling like a knife was twisting in his heart. Once upon a time, he was also the center of the table.Although Madam was lukewarm towards her when she was in the borderlands, she has never been so completely ignored as she is now.But today, Hou Xuan won the first prize, Mrs. Shi's low position in the Shi family has become more and more consolidated, and Master Shi is full of joy, glad that he has a good son who is outstanding, and he will not think of himself at this time.At this moment, Mo Xuan felt like an outsider, watching the family congratulate him enthusiastically, all the laughter had nothing to do with him.How pitiful.

Mo Xuan felt sorry for herself, and Zhu Xuan, who was sitting beside her, looked at her several times, worried.

After the banquet was over, Master Shi suddenly saw Mo Xuan leaving quietly by himself, and suddenly thought of Mo Xuan's lifelong event, and couldn't bear it.When I turned around to find Mrs. Shi, I told him about it.

Mrs. Shi was pulling Nanny Wang to say that there were suitable girls of the right age in the capital, and after searching around, she suddenly found that there were still many suitable girls.While we were chatting, when Master Shi came, he smiled and talked about several family members, and asked Master Shi how he was.Master Shi suddenly responded, and waved at Nanny Wang. Nanny Wang glanced at Mrs. Shi and went out.

Mrs. Shi hurriedly asked what was wrong with Mr. Shi, but Mr. Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "Hou Xuan has won the first prize, so it is time to celebrate. Madam should also prepare a big gift and send it to my aunt's house. After all, I have studied in Wanjia Academy for so long. , no matter what, I have the grace to teach him."

Mrs. Shi smiled, knowing that Master Shi had something to ask for, and it was hard to open her mouth, so she didn't say anything clearly, and followed her sloppy eye, "Yes, don't worry, Master Shi, I have already found something out of my pocket. As soon as the list is released, someone will send it away."

Master Shi nodded absently, "That's good, that's good."

Mrs. Shi ignored it, and went to wash up on her own. Master Shi sat on the stool blankly and worked for a long time. Finally, seeing that Mrs. Shi was about to rest, he said cautiously, "It's not just that the anger in Madam's heart can be dissipated." gone."

Mrs. Shi sneered, "I don't need to worry about anything, what the master thinks is the most important thing."

Master Shi looked at Mrs. Shi in embarrassment, "Ma'am, this, this, this..." Master Shi did not continue for a long time.

Madam Shi remained silent, and looked at Master Shi indifferently, waiting to see what Master Shi would continue to say.
