The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 1083 Continue? envy

When Mo Yan found Xin'er, Xin'er was still sleeping. Her upper eyelids were swollen, there were blue shadows under her eyes, and there were dried tears on her face. She obviously cried for a long time last night and fell asleep very late.

Coming to the bed and sitting down, Mo Yan looked at her sister's brows that were still frowning in her sleep, wondering what happened. This girl is not an unreasonable and ignorant person. It is obviously not a small matter for her to be at odds with her father and to make herself feel so sad.

I heard that after Zhen'er came back, he took her and said something secretly. She wiped her tears and ran back to the room crying. When she came out again, she got angry with her father. It seemed that her father had done something. , that’s why Xin’er is like this, but what can father do?

While Mo Yan was thinking, Xin'er, who was sleeping unsteadily, seemed to notice something, and her eyelids moved and opened. Seeing my sister right in front of the bed, I felt like I was looking for someone to rely on. I shouted "Sister" excitedly, then threw myself into my sister's arms and started crying.

"Sister, you, why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for you all night." Xiner said with sobs. No one knew how she survived last night.

Mo Yan deliberately said that she had written a letter last night saying that she would not come back, but seeing Xin'er's sad and helpless look, she didn't mention it. She patted her shoulder and comforted her softly: "You won't be pretty if you keep crying. Sister, now In front of you, if you have any grievances, just tell me."

Xin'er sobbed and nodded. She was about to say something but didn't know how to say it. After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice: "If dad wants to find a stepmother for us, sister, what will you do?"

As soon as Mo Yan heard this, she understood why this girl was sad. Although she didn't know what happened yesterday that would cause her sister to have such a problem, it didn't stop her from explaining this troubled sister.

"Whether dad can find a stepmother or not, we really have nothing to do with it! It has been very hard for dad to live with us three siblings over the past few years, and the stepmother will get married soon. You have reached the age to talk about your in-laws' family. , Zhen'er will also have a family of his own, and then dad will be helpless. Can you bear to see dad alone, with no one to even eat with him? "

Seeing Xin'er opening her mouth to speak, Mo Yan knew what she wanted to say by looking at her expression, so he continued following her thoughts: "Maybe you will say that we will come back to see her often in the future, and Zhen'er will live with her father. But have you ever thought about it, we can do whatever we want at our in-laws' house and come back whenever we want? As for Zhen'er, he will also have his own future and family. By then, most of his energy will be focused on these two. How much can be divided between them? Daddy? How many times throughout the year can I eat, drink tea and play chess with daddy? "

Seeing Xin'er lowering her eyes and saying nothing, thinking seriously, Mo Yan touched her head and sighed: "If dad renews his relationship one day, I won't object, as long as that person can make dad happy and can accompany dad." When I grow old, I will only be happy and grateful."

Life spans only a few decades. Normal people are accompanied by their parents when they are young, by their wives and children when they grow up, and by their old age they still have wives and children to talk to. No matter how good or bad their lives are, at least there is always someone by their side to accompany them, and in their hearts. There's always somewhere to go.

When his father died when he was young, the old Mo family did not give him a trace of care of his loved ones. He finally had to marry his wife and child, but that woman eloped with others, so that his father had to pull his sister and brother alone.

They finally grow up, and one day they will run away from home to pursue their own families and ideals. The father will spend most of his remaining decades alone. How can such a life be considered "lonely"? Summary? Mo Yan really hopes that her father can have a companion, even if it is just to spend his old age with him.

Xin'er frowned, still unable to accept it: "Then, what if she treats us badly? Just like Tang Xin's stepmother, she is so bad. If it weren't for us, Tang Xin might have been trampled to death by her stepmother. ”

“Pfft!” Mo Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She pointed at Xin’er who looked puzzled and joked: “Aren’t you afraid that your dad will know if you compare him to Tang Xin’s dad?”

Tang Xin’s stepmother dared to treat her like that. Wasn’t it because of her father’s useless connivance? In this era where husband is the most important thing, if Tang Laoshi shows the courage that a husband should have and protects Tang Xin, even if Tang Xin's stepmother gives birth to a son, at most she will only dare to shame her and secretly take advantage of her. If the food was too much, Tang Laoshi would have eaten her long ago. In the final analysis, the problem still lies with Tang Laoshi.

Her father is not Tang Laoshi. Even if he marries an unkind and unkind woman, he will not allow her to bully their three siblings. Besides, how could their siblings be at the mercy of others? She has the status of a county princess, and she has several ferocious beasts that have been given the title of auspicious beasts by the emperor, so it is not difficult to protect her younger siblings. If a stepmother comes in one day, it should be the stepmother who really needs to worry, right?

Xiner didn't react at first. She thought about it carefully and finally understood the unexplained meaning of her sister's words, and fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Xin'er seemed to have understood something, and said to her sister with a painful expression: "Sister, I know what you said is right, but when I think of a woman living with us, I just feel awkward. I feel sad, am I being selfish and not thinking about my father?"

“No, it’s normal for you to think so. My sister thought so too before.” Mo Yan touched her astonished sister’s head and comforted her with a smile. This kind of thing is difficult to explain. Even if she puts the truth in front of her sister, she still needs to figure it out on her own. She now understands that it is best to fulfill her father's needs, but she just can't get over the hurdle in her heart.

She herself was not as relaxed as she said. They were obviously living happily together as a family, but suddenly a strange woman broke into their home. It was really awkward to live together. But compared to my father's happiness in his later years, what does this awkwardness mean? After all, she hopes that her father can live a better life after the siblings have their own destinations!

Mo Yan's comfort worked. Xin'er's expression relaxed, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Sister, you are so open-minded, and so is Zhen'er. I can't compare to you."

Mo Yan rubbed her sister's hair and said seriously: "It's human nature for you to think like that. It has nothing to do with being open-minded or not."

At this point, she paused and asked: "After talking so much, I still don't know what happened. Can you tell me now?"

Xin'er's mood improved a lot. She nodded immediately after hearing this: "I don't know the details. Zhen'er came back yesterday and told me..."

 Under Xin'er's narration, Mo Yan roughly understood the whole story.

It turns out that after she sent off her relatives and left the Liu family yesterday, her father also returned to the Cui family after watching the ceremony. After the wedding banquet, for some reason, he met the Cui family's aunt in a garden of the Cui family.

At that time, Zhen'er wanted to go home early and saw that his father was not at the place where Cui's family was entertaining guests, so he and Yun Zhao went to look for him separately. As a result, he saw the two people talking together in the garden.

Although the two of them did not do anything that exceeded the rules, and Aunt Cui was followed by two maids, Zhen'er felt that there was something inexplicable between them from their words and demeanor. He saw his father and Aunt Cui's family saying a few words and about to leave. When Aunt Cui's family walked down the steps, for some reason, her footing slipped and she fell forward, falling into his father's arms.

If it was just an accident, they would have just stood up and felt embarrassed in their hearts. However, Aunt Cui was helped up by the maid, apologized to her father and left in a hurry. She couldn't help but look back in the middle, but her father stood still and didn't move. Looking at Aunt Cui, their eyes met.

Even though no one spoke, even a ten-year-old Zhen'er could see the indescribable ambiguity. On the way home, Zhen'er asked his father insinuatingly, and finally confirmed that his feeling was correct. His father just treated Cui Ping'an's aunt differently.

 After returning home, Zhen'er couldn't wait to tell her second sister what had happened. In fact, he has no special opinion on this matter. He thinks Aunt Cui is very gentle and he likes her very much. If his father wants to marry such a woman, he will not have any resistance.

As for the fact that every stepmother has a stepfather, Zhen'er has never thought about it, because he believes that his father is not such a person, and he also believes that he will not become a victim of the vicious stepmother.

On the other hand, he has never enjoyed maternal love and has a stronger desire for maternal care than ordinary people. Cui Qingrou's character and appearance all satisfied all his beautiful fantasies about a mother. In short, if my father can marry his aunt one day, he will not only not be sad, but will be happy.

Zhen'er told his second sister about Wuying'er. He actually hoped that his second sister would stand with him and encourage his father to propose marriage to the Cui family. Cui Pingan was at home at that time, and he heard Cui Pingan say that the old lady of the Cui family hoped that her aunt could remarry, but it was just that Aunt Cui didn't want to get married, so she left it alone. Now seeing that Aunt Cui treats his father differently, he Intuition suggests that the Cui family will not refuse if his father proposes marriage.

However, Xin'er didn't think so. As soon as she heard that her father might have a girl he liked and wanted to marry her home, she felt very uncomfortable. Not only did she cry in front of her younger brother, she also got into trouble with her father at the dinner table. Awkward, he obviously believed in his heart that his father would renew his relationship, and he would not be a good father to the three siblings from now on.

After listening to this, Mo Yan no longer knew what to say. There is nothing wrong with the birth date. One of the two younger siblings wants to find a stepmother for him, and many people love him. The other is in a state of panic, fearing that his father will be fooled by his stepmother and become a piece of cake that his father does not care for and his mother does not.

Seeing the lingering confusion in her sister's eyes, Mo Yan rubbed her forehead and said helplessly: "If you slander dad before he made it clear that he wants to renew their relationship, my sister will be wronged for dad! No matter if dad has any feelings for Aunt Cui or not. The idea is, no matter whether dad will renew our relationship in the future, you just need to know that he is our dad and he will always love us."

 After Mo Yan’s explanation, Xin’er thought a lot. Although I can't accept my father's second marriage for the time being and I don't want to have multiple stepmothers, I am no longer so resistant to it.

She personally made a bowl of noodles with vegetables and pork for her sister, and after watching her eat it all, Mo Yan returned to her room. She wanted to write a letter to her father to ask what was going on, but after thinking about it, she gave up. This thought.

“Yan Yan, why didn’t you ask?” Xue Tuanzi’s voice came out again, with a strong flavor of gossip in his tone.

"It's not clear in the letter. I'll ask my father in person when Mu Xiu comes back. If my father really likes Aunt Cui, I'm quite in favor of him getting together with Aunt Cui." Mo Yan had hoped that his father would be together again. Marrying, especially after getting engaged and emotionally bonded, the idea becomes stronger.

The Cui family's aunt is a nice person, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, gentle and graceful. Such a woman is a good match for her father and is unlikely to treat her younger siblings harshly.

"Tsk, tsk, you are really thinking! How about you ask your father to propose marriage to the Cui family? Then your father and daughter will hold weddings on the same day, and it will be lively if one gets married and the other gets a wife." Xue Tuanzi said matter-of-factly I am very proud of my idea.

The corners of Mo Yan's eyes twitched, and when he entered the space, he took the snow dumplings into his hands and ravaged them fiercely: "Don't say that my father and Aunt Cui's affairs are not settled. Even if there is, it is impossible to arrange it like this. There is so much excitement here. Double happiness is not such a happy idea!"

If they really do this, their family will probably become famous throughout the capital, and it’s not even a good name!

"Ah, stop, stop rubbing. Isn't this for your own good?" Xue Tuanzi yelled, trying hard to break free from the devil's hand.

Mo Yan stopped her hand and said with a smile: "Is it good for me? Then you can tell me how it is good for me."

Xue Tuanzi twisted his limp body and took the opportunity to escape from the "devil's claws". He fled into the air as if flying. He felt that the distance was safer, so he said angrily: "When you meet that kid, he becomes slimier every time. I I'm really afraid that one day you two won't be able to hold it back and make the doll first. If your father gets married, will he have the nerve to delay your marriage? "

Mo Yan's face burst into red, but she ignored her shame and annoyance. She stared at Xue Tuanzi and said suspiciously: "Every time I meet Brother Xiao, I have clearly blocked you. Why do you still know about it? Tell me, are you still there?" Is there any other way to spy on me?"

Xue Tuanzi rolled his eyes and was obviously a little panicked: "No, no, you blocked me. I don't know what happened outside."

Mo Yan couldn't believe it. He stretched out his hand and caught the snow dumpling in mid-air again, and said with a ferocious smile: "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise, hum!"

Xue Tuanzi was frightened to the point of peeing by his master's sly smile, but his instinct told him not to tell the truth, otherwise he would definitely die without any body parts. So, its body softened and it stretched itself out in Mo Yan's hand, with a "do whatever you want" look.

Mo Yan's face darkened, and after a long time of coercion and inducement, Xue Tuanzi's "mouth" was bitten like a clam shell. He refused to speak a word, and even scratching the itch didn't work.

Mo Yan had no other choice. She couldn't really do anything to the snow dumpling, so she had to put it down depressedly. She secretly warned herself that when she meets Xiao Ruiyuan in the future, she should try not to do anything intimate, otherwise she would always feel like there are eyes staring at her in the dark. Looking at them, it’s so scary!

 …

 In recent days, Mo Qingze has been a little troubled. He has not returned to Zhuangyuan Mansion for dinner in five or six days! It wasn't that he didn't want to go back for dinner, but every time he was out of office, the same person used different excuses to invite him to come over for dinner. It was difficult to refuse the hospitality, and there was another voice in his heart urging him to go, so he had no choice but to go.

 But after several days of this, no matter how stupid he was, he knew there was something wrong.

Looking at the clepsydra in the corner, Mo Qingze could not sit still for a moment or so. Although he felt bad, there was still a small expectation in his heart.

Someone was already packing things in the room, and a waiter came over and said, "Sir Mo, how about having a drink in Lan Kwai Fong after I leave the office?"

This lecturer has been in the Hanlin Academy for five or six years. Because he was born in a poor family and has no connections, and he has no talent that is very eye-catching, he has never been promoted. But he was a senior after all, and Mo Qingze didn't feel intimidated by the celebrity in front of his prince at all, so he stood up quickly and politely declined with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Mo has private matters to attend to after leaving the Yamen, so we can only let down Meng." With your kindness, I will treat Master Meng to a drink someday."

When Meng Tao Shi heard the words, he did not force it. He said with a smile: "Then it's settled. Don't forget it, Mr. Mo."

"Absolutely!" Mo Qingze breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with a smile.

Meng Daoshi returned to his seat, packed up the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, and waited to put them away in the office. Another speaker sitting next to him came over, stared at Mo Qingze not far away with jealousy, and said angrily: "Isn't it just that **** got into the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince? How dare you If you don’t take your senior seriously, if you don’t give birth to a good daughter and get a powerful son-in-law, who will take him as a lowly person with a mud-legged background?"

Master Meng frowned, not agreeing with his colleague's words. If you don't have real talent and practical knowledge, how can you escape from being involved in a fraud case after the autumn of last year? What if I just got lucky and became the top pick in high school and was admired by students all over the world?

Just thinking that the two of them had worked together for many years and were fighting for their own grievances, Master Meng could not directly defend himself, so he reminded tactfully: "Master Mo's talent is obvious to all. If the words you just said were spread, they would fall into the ears of His Highness the Crown Prince. "How do you know that His Highness will not misunderstand that you are mocking him for not knowing enough about people and mistaking fish eyes for pearls?"

The man broke into a cold sweat after listening to the lecture. He looked around quickly and saw that no one was paying attention. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice a little: "Humph, Mo seems to be upright and upright in front of others, but he can't tell you in private." How unbearable, Mr. Cui has been waiting for him outside every day these days, and I have never heard of any interaction between them before. If there is no ghost in this, I will be the first to not believe it."

When Meng Daoshi heard this, he became really angry. His face darkened and he scolded: "Even if there is something in it, it's none of your business! The Cui family can remain standing for hundreds of years. Could it be that the head of the family is... You fool? Master Mo has caught Master Cui's eyes. That's his ability. Ordinary people want to catch up with the Cui family but can't even find the door! I will pretend that I have never heard these words today. Don't ask for it in the future. Let’s talk about it again, otherwise don’t blame me for not caring about the friendship we have had as colleagues for so many years and severing ties with you.”
