Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 42

Back in the mansion, Mo Yan and the maid Mo Xiang tacitly kept silent, never mentioning anything about the scene of the crime.

Mrs. Lu seemed to be worried, and when she saw Mo Yan entered, she sent her maid, Mo Li, to watch at the second entrance. In case the master returned home, he quickly took people to the side hall to discuss matters.

The side hall was very quiet, Mrs. Lu kept her head down, not knowing what she was thinking about, Mo Yan originally wanted to present the snacks she bought today, but she was too embarrassed to disturb her thoughts, so she just sat aside and waited patiently.

After a long time, Lu came back to his senses, his eyes became clear, and he smiled softly, "Yanyan is back!"

"Mom, look, I bought a lot of snacks, and I can't leave the house for a few days."

Mo Yan felt that the person closest to her here was her second brother, especially after the two had a common secret.But the second brother always treats her like a little girl, and leaves like that without explaining the reason. The reason is that he traveled for half a year and came back during the Chinese New Year.

"Yanyan, do you still remember your grandma?"

The high-ranking officials in the capital are used to addressing grandfather and grandmother, but Mo Zhongchen was born in a remote mountain village in a poor family. It was the whole family who worked hard to support him to study. From a scholar to a second-rank official step by step, the journey along the way The hardships can be imagined.

Mo Yan has some memories of her previous life. She vaguely remembers that when she was a child, her grandparents and uncles at home once came to the capital. At that time, her father was still an unknown official of the fifth rank. His mother came from a wealthy family, and his grandparents were afraid that his father would be laughed at because of their status, and they couldn't let go of the few acres of land at home, so they didn't come to the capital for so many years. Occasionally, they would ask the village head to write a few letters to report that they were safe. book from home.Mrs. Lu is not a mean person, nor does she look down on country people. Besides, she is her in-laws. Every year, she spends a lot of money on New Year's gifts. The food in Kyoto is delicious and fun, and everyone in the family has a share. .

"Remember, grandpa and grandma are in the village, far away from Kyoto."

Mo Yan has never been out of Kyoto since he was born, so he has no concept of the geographical location of Dayue, only knows that it is far away, and how far it is, and it will take a month to get there in a carriage.

"kindness."

Mrs. Lu nodded. Mo Zhongchen was neither the eldest son nor the youngest in the family. He happened to be in the middle. Mo Yan also had an uncle, a third uncle, and a sister-in-law, all of whom stayed in the village. Mrs. Lu once wrote a letter, hoping If the family comes to live in Kyoto, it will be properly settled here. If the parents-in-law like to farm for recreation, they also have a farm at home.

But my parents-in-law are getting old, and it is always hard to leave their homeland, and they haven't come here for so many years.As the mistress of the family, the Lu family naturally didn't have the time to go to remote places. The two parties could only communicate by letter, and often talked about trivial matters of each family.

"Mom, why did you suddenly ask grandma, is grandma coming to the capital?"

Mo Yan understands that at this time, the right family is important. Like his father, Mo Zhongchen, who came from a poor family, he can get to a high position. His own efforts are one aspect, and he absolutely cannot do without the help of his mother, Lu's family.But she has no concept of family status, on the contrary, she really wants to see simple relatives, and she doesn't think it is a shame to have such grandparents.

"No."

If the two elders are willing to come to the capital, that would be the best, but the custom in the country is that the eldest family takes care of their parents, so Grandma Mo Yan has been living with the uncle's family. Although their son has become a high-ranking official in the capital, they still do what they should. point.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Mo Zhongchen was ushered into the side hall by the maid Mo Li, and suddenly asked the maid to wait at the second door. Mo Zhongchen thought something happened, and looked anxious, and yelled as soon as he entered, "Ma'am, could it be that you are coming out?" something big?"

"It's not a big deal."

Mrs. Lu nodded her head and made a fool of herself. Seeing that Mo Yan was about to leave, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Yan Yan, this matter has something to do with you, so you should stay and listen."

"It has something to do with me too?"

Mo Yan rolled her eyes, guessing in her heart, could it be that the second brother sold herself before leaving, and the mother's autumn harvest settled the score?It's also impossible, if the second brother dared to take her out of the house at night, and mother would be the first to skin him, that guy would not tell the truth.

"I received a letter from my hometown today, that my uncle's Qingyun is getting married."

The Mo Qingyun mentioned by Mrs. Lu is the eldest son of the eldest son of Mo's family, and also the eldest son's grandson. In the countryside, he is a person who stands up for the family.But don't be fooled by this elegant name. Mo Qingyun is a tall and thick man with natural supernatural powers. In the early years, he went hunting with the hunters in the village. In the year of reaching the crown, it is too late to get married in the countryside.

"Ah? This is a great event! Ma'am, let's prepare a gift, bring back some of the fashionable fabrics from Kyoto, and that..."

Mo Zhongchen stroked his beard and laughed twice. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was silent, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to send a gift back. I'm going to discuss it with you. This time, I'll go in person."

Mrs. Lu thought for a moment, ignored Mo Zhongchen's eyeballs falling, and continued, "The wedding is at the end of August, and there is still some time to prepare, so there is still time."

Ever since she got married, it was a pity that Mrs. Lu hadn't been to that remote village once.She did not fulfill her filial piety by her parents-in-law, but left it to the uncle's family. Now that the eldest son and grandson are getting married, this is the top priority of the old Mo family. As the wife of the Mo family, no matter how high her status is, she has to go back and have a look.

In addition, Mrs. Lu also has her own considerations. The situation in Kyoto is not clear now. The empress may die at any time. At that time, the wives will have to kneel to the spirit every day. If this is not allowed, she will take this opportunity to go out to hide and relax. Do your duty on behalf of your master.

"Madam, do you mean to take Yanyan with you?"

Mo Zhongchen looked at his daughter who didn't know what was happening on the chair, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He really wanted Mo Yan to follow him back to meet his relatives at home. After all, blood is thicker than water, but the wound on her head was just right, so it might not be. Can stand the journey.

"Well, so you are staying in the yamen recently, master."

Lu waved his hand and made a decision. He said it was a discussion, but in fact he didn't ask Mo Yan and Mo Zhongchen for their opinions. Instead, he told them that the father and daughter looked at each other and could only nod silently.

He was about to go on a long journey, and his old horse and narrow carriage could not go on the road at all. Thinking about it, Mrs. Lu rented one from a carriage dealer, with soft cushions inside and bamboo mats on top, so that he could save money at home on weekdays. It's a last resort to show to outsiders, it's okay to go out to be extravagant, if you make it poor, it's easy to be looked down upon by people with high eyesight and low hands.

So, starting from the second day, Mrs. Lu hurriedly made preparations before leaving. Mo Yan was measured by a tailor, and three or four sets of exquisite dresses and a small box of jewelry were delivered the next day.

These jewelry are all ordinary silver, but the style is popular in Kyoto. It should be made by someone entrusted by my mother. There is also a large box of pearl flowers. The Lu family did not let Mo Yan wear it, but asked her to keep it. To relatives and sisters, always give some decent and desirable gifts.

"Miss, this time the servant will follow?"

Mo Xiang is the happiest one to be able to travel far away. The carriage is not spacious, and there are not many people with it. As a personal maid, Mo Xiang needs to serve around, while the little maid Mo Yu can only watch the yard at the house.

"of course."

Counting the days, it won't be long before they leave. This round-trip will take at least three months. Before leaving, Mo Yan thinks he cheated on his teammates and cousin Xia Ruoxue once, and said goodbye to his good sister Chen Ying.
