Chapter 39

In the past few days, Kyoto has been shrouded in a dark cloud. The news about the harem has been temporarily blocked. , dealing with a series of officials.

All the officials were ashamed, and even Mo Zhongchen, who had always been talkative and had to be impeached in the early court, kept his mouth shut and lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.Just kidding, it's so hot in June, if he offends the emperor and is dispatched to the frontier for labor reform, the road is not acclimatized, it will kill him.

Although there was no accurate news, but seeing the frowning look on the emperor's face, everyone also understood that the empress is not well, and now she is just dragging her days.

It is strange to say that Wan Qi Yufeng married for a few years, and there were several low-level concubines in the harem, but none of them were pregnant. Some officials took advantage of this loophole and wanted their daughters of the right age to participate in the draft. In case a prince is born, it will be a joyful event of soaring into the sky, proud and elated, and smoke rising from the ancestral grave.

This kind of low air pressure directly affects the banquet. No one dares to be nervous at this time, and they all behave carefully with their tails between their legs. Some smart officials, after leaving the Yamen, do not go to restaurants and tea houses, and return home on time.

Mo Yan has been reading at the mansion. On the second night after she came back from Changpingfang, the second elder brother Mo Qingyu went back to the mansion. His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his beard was unshaven, and his clothes were not neat. Several big holes were broken.

Mo Qingyu carefully came to Mo Yan's side to make amends as usual, after hearing her description of what happened that day, she looked terrified, and comforted her as if what happened that day didn't happen, and there is no need to be afraid, and he will take care of the aftermath.

Not two days later, during dinner, Mo Qingyu appeared again. This time, he went to the side hall, knelt down, and kowtowed to Mo Zhongchen and Mrs. Lu, expressing that he wanted to travel for a few months. To gain knowledge, it is also good to experience the customs of the people, and vowed to cut off contact with people of various religions and nine streams after returning, and start a new life.

Although Mo Yan knew there was a story in it, but the second brother didn't tell it, she didn't ask if she was sensible, she always felt that in private, the second brother was not that simple, maybe he was doing something, a big thing.

Unexpectedly, both father Mo Zhongchen and mother Lu Shi did not speak, but just took a package in silence, and Mo Yan knew that there were many places to spend money when going out, so he gave him the 1000 taels of silver notes that were cheated later, as a compliment to his family. , she has always been willing.

The second elder brother, Mo Qingyu, left on a drizzle morning. He was riding a fast horse with a package and a water bottle hanging on the horse's head. On that day, Mo Zhongchen made an exception and returned from the yamen, and his eldest brother Mo Qingfeng was also there. , the original atmosphere was very sad, but the eldest brother was so frightened that the second brother didn't have time to say goodbye. He turned his horse's head and fled quickly in embarrassment, diluting the atmosphere of parting.

Mo Yan is not used to it. After time travel, the second brother is the person who cares about her the most, even surpassing her parents.He often appeared in her small courtyard with various snacks, bringing new ripples to her stagnant life.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Mo Yan felt that she would miss her second brother very much. The most important thing is that the joint playbook that the two had discussed before had to be stranded because of Mo Qingyu's departure.

Bored at the house for a few days, Mo Yan has been reading medical books, sometimes tired, rubbing her eyes, sitting in the small pool by the pond for a while, chatting with the maids Mo Xiang and Mo Yu, and occasionally going to the main courtyard to help Lu's small busy life is also unhurried, and he lives day by day.

Chen Ying wrote a letter expressing apology. Originally, the two agreed to go to Zhuangzi to stay for a while, but because of some changes in Chen Guogong's house, it failed to materialize. I hope Mo Yan will not be offended.

In the process of studying, it is inevitable to encounter some puzzles. Mo Yan urgently needs to find a knowledgeable person to ask for advice. It seems that this matter will be postponed again.At present, the rumors are tight. After all, the two of them are not relatives, so they should be careful when walking around and having dinners.

June [-]th is a good day. When I wake up in the morning, the sky is a little gloomy, without the dazzling sunshine.After breakfast, the head of the farm at home went to his mother to reconcile the account. Mo Yan had nothing to do and was bored for a few days, so she asked to go out of the house, take a walk outside, and buy some snacks on the way back.

Seeing that the rumors are tight recently and no one visits the mansion, only the mother and daughter are left in the house on weekdays, and she is busy with the affairs of the mansion, so she nodded her head in agreement, and asked Mo Li, her maid, to fetch a purse for Mo Yan. There were some trivial silver taels inside, and asked Mo Yan to buy snacks.

On the main street of Kyoto, there are people coming and going, bustling and bustling. There are traveling businessmen everywhere. Occasionally, you can meet caravans and bodyguard teams on the street. Behind them was a long line of carriages and dozens of bearded and strong men, which matched the image of bodyguards in Mo Yan's mind.

"Miss, look, isn't that spring love ahead? Could it be that Miss Biao has also taken to the streets?"

Mo Xiang was sitting by the carriage, looking around aimlessly, she saw Chun Qing wearing a pink satin dress, her face painted with makeup, holding a small round fan in her hand, looking left and right.

"Huh? It's really her!"

Mo Yan was also surprised, Xia Ruoxue is the most shrewd person, and knowing about the affairs in the palace, she had already entered the palace to talk with the queen mother, and took the opportunity to please her, how could she have time to wander outside?Chunqing is a clever girl who quickly became a personal servant girl. It is a little strange to appear on the street at this time.

Sure enough, the moment the carriage passed by, Chunqing disappeared without a trace, either going to the nearby teahouse or entering the alley.Although Mo Yan was puzzled, she didn't intend to continue to explore. No matter what Xia Ruoxue did, it had nothing to do with her now, so why bother to meddle in other's business.

Sometimes, there is a coincidence, and you don't want to be nosy, but nosy things just come to you. After the carriage took a few steps, Mo Yan met the suspect in her heart, the self-proclaimed flamboyant General Yuan.

Yuan Huanzhi was walking on the street with a folding fan in his hand. He looked loose, but in reality he was tense. He looked around and saw that no one was following him, so he looked up with confidence. to a floating red silk scarf.

"Park in the alley ahead."

Mo Yan thought for a moment, calmly analyzed, and finally decided to get out of the car to find out what happened. She suddenly remembered the nightmare a while ago, thinking of the innocent maidservant who died tragically, plus the weirdness of the West Garden Poetry Club, everything was like an invisible big net, Unknowingly, she has been involved.
