Chapter 61
Mo Yan squinted her eyes, drank a cup of tea and rinsed her mouth, those young people couldn't sit still anymore, and they came to toss in the middle of the night, this time it was resolved quickly, with only a few noises, it seems that, walking all the way, you don't have to think about it Clean and clean, I hope that on the return journey, I will never meet troublesome spirits.

After entering July, the further south you go, the hotter the weather will be.But Mo Yan thought it was okay, Luzhou had many mountains and rivers, and the sun was not so harsh. Hearing that the disaster relief team was going to distribute food and grass in Luzhou City, the master and servant decided to go to the streets to buy some gifts.

"Miss, madam asked you to come over, and I'm going out to meet guests today."

Mo Li picked up the curtain and entered the door, conveying Lu's orders.Originally, when Mo Xiang went to report last night, he had already said that the two masters and servants were going to wander the streets for a day, but early this morning, the wife of the prefect of Luzhou learned that her wife and lady were temporarily suspended in Luzhou, so she specially sent someone to send a post Come.

"But mother didn't mention it just now."

Mo Yan was a little puzzled, most of his relatives and friends were in the capital, and the rest were relatives of his father in his hometown, and he had never heard of any friendship with the prefect of Luzhou.Moreover, her father, Mo Zhongchen, was an upright person, and it was difficult for her to establish a good relationship with these officials, so that she was not very popular among the daughters of the capital.

Since she was going out to meet guests, she couldn't be rude, so Mo Yan changed into a light pink floral dress again, and asked Mo Xiang to comb her hair again. A cloud-shaped hosta was inserted obliquely in her hair, which looked playful, in line with her age of a 12-year-old girl.

Downstairs, the Luzhou magistrate's mansion has sent chariots, four women, and a big maid, who seem to attach great importance to it.Mo Yan helped Mrs. Lu get into the carriage together, seeing that there was no outsider in the carriage, he had the opportunity to ask, "Mother, let's stay for a while, don't we need to go to someone's house as a guest?"

"Mother is confused."

The corners of Lu's mouth curled up, his eyes were smiling, sitting with Mo Yan, they looked like a pair of sisters.She gently smoothed Mo Yan's broken hair with her hands, "The wife of the prefect of Luzhou is not someone else, she was the best sister of my mother when she was not married."

At that time, Mrs. Lu was still the daughter of the emperor's teacher, and she had a very good relationship with Miss Liu, the servant of the Ministry of Justice. Later, when the minister of the Ministry of Justice resigned and returned to her hometown, Mrs. Liu also left. Due to the long distance, the two only communicated by letters. Later, I heard that Mrs. Liu married a small county magistrate in Beidi and lived a good life.

After getting married, things in the house were in a hurry. As the head of the house, Mrs. Lu had been busy for many years, so she lost contact with Mrs. Liu.At that time, Mrs. Lu was already the wife of the second-rank official, while Mrs. Liu was still the wife of the seventh-rank Zhima official. There was a big difference in status.

Mrs. Lu knows that Mrs. Liu has strong self-esteem, and not contacting her does not mean that she does not miss her, but because she is afraid of being criticized. Mrs. Liu wants to use her previous relationship to climb up. As good sisters, Mrs. Lu understands very well. Write a few letters during the New Year's Eve to express your thoughts.

That is, not long ago, Mrs. Liu's husband was appointed as the prefect of Luzhou because of his excellent assessment, and he only took office for two months. Mrs. Lu once heard Mo Zhongchen mention that something big happened on the road this time, and her mind was not on it. forgotten.

"Your Aunt Liu used to be a famous figure."

There was a glimmer of water in Lu's eyes, and she missed the old days. In a blink of an eye, the two had been married for more than ten years. If the eldest son Mo Qingfeng got married early, she might have become a grandmother.

Mo Yanrao listened with interest to Mrs. Lu's story about the past. It turned out that her mother was not born with a strong personality. She used to be weak and didn't like to fight, so she was bullied very much. Whenever this time, Mrs. Liu would Standing up to protect her, it doesn't matter if you fight against the daughter of a first-rank official for this.

Mrs. Liu is the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. She is very courageous. I heard that the reason why her husband was promoted in office is inseparable from her counseling. It is precisely because a series of murders were solved in Beidi. Time to fame.

"Mother, Aunt Liu is really a hero among girls."

Mo Yan praised a few words and remembered Chen Ying.In fact, the two met only a few times, but they were out for a few days. Apart from her family, what she missed most was Chen Ying. I don't know if the low pressure in the capital has affected Chen Guogong's mansion.

The back house of the magistrate's yamen is in the very center of Luzhou City, and it is only a quarter of an hour's drive from Xiankelai.Just as Mo Yan supported Lu Shi to get out of the carriage, a burst of fragrance of makeup and powder came over him, and then, a tall woman with emerald hair stepped forward quickly and hugged Lu Shi tightly.

"Sister, these years, I have made my sister think so much!"

Mrs. Liu is about two years older than Mrs. Lu, and the years have not left many marks on her face. She is tall, fat, with slender eyes, and looks rich and kind.It is said that love comes from the heart, and Mo Yan was full of affection for Aunt Liu at the first sight.

"Sister Liu!"

Mrs. Lu was also choked up so that she couldn't speak, her petite body was buried in Mrs. Liu's arms, and the surrounding maids persuaded them that the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and it was a great joy to meet again.

Mo Yan was embarrassed, but felt that the scene was a bit weird. Mother has always been strong, and the first time she cried in front of her, it was really pear blossoms with rain, no matter how tough people are, they will soften their minds.

After embracing and weeping for a while, Mrs. Liu took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, took Mrs. Lu's hand, and looked at Mo Yan, "This is Yan Yan, she is a little beauty, she looks like your mother."

"Aunt Liu."

Mo Yan stepped forward to salute and greet politely.

"Mother, Aunt Lu came to our house as a guest, please come and cry at the second gate."

Next to Mrs. Liu stood a girl about 14 years old, wearing a taupe-colored dress, a simple headdress, and no makeup. Her cheeks were a little baby fat, and her eyes were smiling like a crescent moon while talking.

"You girl, come to tease your mother again!"

Mrs. Liu cursed a few words, and introduced to Mo Yan that this is her youngest daughter, Wei Zixian. Although she had such an elegant name, but this girl has been in the Northland for a long time, and she doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. , I just like to run to the Yamen and solve cases with the police.

Mo Yan pursed her lips and chuckled, she couldn't tell just by looking at her appearance. She always thought that women in ancient times had three obediences and four virtues. My lady screamed in shock even when she saw a chicken being killed. Wei Zixian actually had the guts to go to the scene of the crime, but With such a reputation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry in the future.

A group of people chatted all the way and came to the main hall.The back house of the prefect of Luzhou is not big, which is the courtyard where Xiaosan entered.Mo Yan behaved well at first, but later she was amused by Wei Zixian's small movements.
