The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 900: Beware of Planning (2)

 Having been able to tame a myna that can deliver messages in a short period of time, it wouldn’t be too difficult to tame another one, right?

The next day, on the way to the Hanlin Academy, Mo Qingze "ran into" Zhao Fengnian, the minister of Taichang Temple, who had just left the morning court and was about to go to the Yamen office.

In Dachu, only officials of the fifth rank and above are eligible to go to court. Officials below the fifth rank only need to arrive at their respective places to handle official business before Chen hour, but they can sleep one hour longer than officials above the fifth rank.

Seeing the kind smile on Zhao Fengnian's face, Mo Qingze, who was already aware of his calculations, showed a just right smile. When the subordinates saw the superior officer, he made a bow gesture and saluted Zhao Fengnian: "I have seen Mr. Zhao. .”

Zhao Fengnian felt quite proud to see the celebrities around the prince being so respectful and courteous to him. However, seeing his pale expression, he felt that it was difficult to get closer to him.

Thinking of the advice given by his mother at home last night, Zhao Fengnian looked at the person in front of him and wondered how he felt about it. Let alone his appearance, he could be called the most handsome number one scholar in this dynasty. His future would be even brighter. If he could become a family , will the benefits obtained in the future be less?

The more Mr. Zhao thought about it, the more beautiful he became. His wrinkled old face smiled like a chrysanthemum. He patted Mo Qingze on the shoulder familiarly, and his voice became gentler: "I have said that you and I are officials in the same dynasty, so there is no need to be like this. You’re welcome, Master Mo, but you don’t regard me as one of your own?”

Hearing this familiar tone, Mo Qingze got goosebumps, and the expression on his face became more respectful: "Your Excellency, I sympathize with you, and I am deeply grateful. However, the courtesy cannot be discarded. I must not neglect your Excellency."

When Zhao Fengnian saw this, he didn't know whether to be proud or depressed. This man looked gentle and polite, but he was really clueless. This look really made it difficult for him to make a move. He couldn't just say directly, Mr. Mo, my niece has taken a liking to you. Come on in whenever you are free. Come to my house to propose marriage?

If he really said this, he would not be able to raise his head as a human being in the officialdom, nor would he want to lose the reputation of the Zhao family!

After thinking about it, Zhao Fengnian decided to make his words clear in a tactful way. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he asked cryptically: "I heard that Mr. Mo lives alone in the Number One Scholar's Mansion with no one caring about him. Is this really true?" of?"

Mo Qingze's eyes flashed, and he said half truthfully: "To tell you the truth, my lord, Xiaguan's family was poor. He only had one wife in his early years. Later, his wife died early and he did not remarry. Now there is an old couple in the No. 1 Scholar's Palace to take care of Xiaguan's family. Daily life.”

Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up and he kept up his efforts: "Master Mo is still young, and he is very important to the emperor at the moment. His future prospects are bound to be good. Have you ever thought about remarrying?"

"This..." Mo Qingze's face showed a hint of shame at the right time: "Xiaguan really has no intention of remarrying, and Xiaguan already has three children. Which young lady is willing to ignore the past and marry Xiaguan? Stepwife?"

Zhao Fengnian couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Are you looking for a big girl, or a big girl with a good background?

No matter what Zhao Fengnian thought, Mo Qingze continued: "The official has children and a daughter. It doesn't matter whether he takes a wife or not. If he meets the right person in the future, he will not raise any more children to avoid giving birth to biased children and causing trouble. The house is restless.”

These words came from Mo Qingze's heart. He really had no intention of marrying a wife, so naturally he would not have any more children. Now that he is talking about this, I just hope that Mr. Zhao will retreat when he sees the difficulty and give up his intention to protect him as a matchmaker. Otherwise, once the words are made clear, there will only be more trouble waiting.

Zhao Fengnian was indeed a little discouraged, and his brows were furrowed. He stared at Mo Qingze, who had a serious look on his face. He couldn't imagine that someone would refuse to have more children because he thought they had too many children. Is this still a man? Or was he aware of something and deliberately used these words to block him?
