Peasant woman

Chapter 57

When Xu Cao and Fugui came to the county government office, the master of the county government office had already made preparations and was only waiting for the arrival of the minister of Beijing.Seeing Xu Cao, the magistrate of the county government ordered his servants to take Xu Cao and Fu Gui down to rest first, and come out when the ministers in Beijing need to see her.

Xu Cao and Fugui waited in the room until noon, and just after lunch, the county government master sent someone to send Xu Cao and Fugui over.

When the official saw the riches and honors, his expression was strange, hesitant to speak.Seeing that Xu Cao was so curious, she couldn't help asking, "Brother Guancha, why do you look at my husband like this?"

The elder brother of the official messenger smiled strangely, "Little sister-in-law will find out after the meeting."

It was only when Xu Cao saw the minister in Beijing that he realized why the officials laughed so strangely.

The Minister of the Central Committee of Beijing looked to be in his thirties, wearing a brocade robe. The Minister's face seemed somewhat familiar, with a full forehead, a resolute face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a little thin lips, and a burly figure.

Xu Cao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the burly man standing beside him.

After blinking, Xu Cao turned to look at the Minister of Beijing and China.

Until the county magistrate next to him coughed and said, "Lord Mo, this is the person you are looking for."

Master Mo glanced at Xu Cao, and was stunned when he saw the wealth and honor beside Xu Cao, as if he didn't expect that there would be someone who looked so similar to him in this world.

Even Xu Cao was very surprised, not understanding how her husband looked so similar to Mr. Mo from the capital.Similar eyebrows, similar body.

Fu Gui looked at Mr. Mo stupidly for a few times, then touched his face, and whispered to Xu Cao: "Daughter-in-law, why does this person look so similar to me?"

The only difference is the expressions of the two of them. It's fine when Fugui doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he looks a bit simple and honest, which doesn't match the shrewd Mr. Mo.

Master Mo frowned and touched his chin, ignored Xu Cao who was on the side, and said to Fugui, "You...you..." Master Mo seemed to think of something while talking, and looked at Fugui in shock.

Looking around, Mr. Mo withdrew the shock on his face, and said to the county magistrate: "Prepare a room, I have something to tell them, everyone else just wait outside."

"Yes, my lord."

When there were only Xu Cao, Fugui and Mr. Mo left in the room, Mr. Mo looked at Fugui several times before saying in a deep voice, "What's your mother's name?"

Fugui was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, "My mother's name is Mo Yiwan."

Xu Cao stayed by and didn't speak, and understood in her heart.

As soon as the adult heard Mo Yiwan and the three of them, he stood up excitedly, "You... where is your mother now? Quickly take me to see."

"My mother is dead." Fugui's voice was low, "It was difficult to give birth to me..."

"How could it be?" Master Mo seemed in disbelief, "Fourth Sister... Fourth Sister, why..."

After a long time, Xu Cao learned the whole story from Mo Dakou.

More than 20 years ago, the Mo family was already a powerful family in the capital. The three generations of the ancestors were all important officials in the court. When Mr. Mo was in this generation, the Mo family had four sons and one daughter.The Mo family has only one wife, and the four sons and one daughter are all descendants.Mo Yiwan is the fourth young lady of the Mo family. This Mr. Mo is named Mo Yubai, the youngest son of the Mo family, who is two years younger than Mo Yiwan.

The Mo family was implicated in the struggle for the throne more than 20 years ago. In desperation, the wife of the Mo family had no choice but to send her daughter to another place, but encountered bandits on the way. Since then, the Mo family and Mo Yiwan have lost contact.

"Father and mother have been looking for Fourth Sister for more than ten years, but they never thought that Fourth Sister would end up in this kind of place. And... she even married a man from the mountains." Mo Yubai wiped his face, and felt emotional again. , It is sad again.Thinking of the fact that the fourth sister, whom I haven't seen for more than 20 years, has gone like this, my heart is sore and painful. If my mother knows, I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable.

Fugui remained silent.

Mo Yubai sighed and stopped talking.The three of them were silent.After a long time, Mo Yubai proposed to visit Mo Yiwan.

The guards brought by Mo Yubai also wanted to follow, but they were all stopped by Mo Yubai.

It was already Youshi when the three of them returned to the village. Fortunately, few villagers saw Mo Yubai, otherwise Mo Yubai's similar appearance to Fugui would have caused much gossip.

Xiaoguang Xiaoxia was making dinner in the kitchen, when she saw Xu Cao coming back, she said with a smile, "Sister, you're back, let's eat quickly."

While talking, looking at Fugui and Mo Yubai behind Xu Cao, the two of them widened their eyes and pointed at Mo Yubai, "Sister, who is this person?"

Xu Cao had no choice but to lie and say that she was a friend in the town.

Because of Mo Yubai's arrival, Xu Cao added two more dishes and asked Xiaoguang to drink.

Mo Yubai didn't dislike the bad food and drink, he drank wine and ate food with Fugui in a dull manner.

After the meal, Xiaoguang Xiaoxia went to rest first, Xu Cao, Fugui, Mo Yubai and Miao Miao stayed in the same room.

Mo Yubai patted Miaomiao's head, smiled at Fugui, "But your daughter?"

Fu Gui nodded, "Miao Miao is born with my ex-wife."

Mo Yubai glanced at Xu Cao, but said nothing more.Xu Cao remembered something, went back to the room and took out the bracelet and jade pendant left by the rich mother. Seeing these two things, Mo Yuguang was very excited, "This is the bracelet that father and mother specially made for fourth sister. With Yupei, the name of Fourth Sister is engraved on it."

Xu Cao took a closer look, only to find that the word Wan was engraved inside the bracelet, and even the word Wan was on the jade pendant.

Mo Yubai was very sad, and said in a low voice: "This is something left by the fourth sister. Now that you are her daughter-in-law, you should keep it well. By the way, the emperor gave you a reward, and I will ask them to bring it over tomorrow. Actually , have you ever thought about going back to Beijing with me? My father and mother will definitely like you."

The only child left by the fourth sister, he thought that his father and mother would be very happy.Although the nephew looks silly, the nephew and daughter-in-law look pretty good.

Hearing this, Xu Cao and Fugui were stunned.After a while, Fu Gui said in a deep voice, "We won't go to the capital."

Xu Cao also thinks the same, even if Fugui's family is a powerful family, but she and Fugui have lived in this remote place for so many years, what can they do in the capital?Do you live under the protection of the Mo family all your life?It must be very uncomfortable to be rich.

Mo Yubai frowned, "If you don't go to the capital, do you still want to stay here forever?"

Fugui is silent.

Xu Cao said: "Uncle...Uncle, Fugui and I have lived here for so many years, if we were to go to the capital, we would not even have a skill, we are not suitable there."

Mo Yubai snorted, "You are the grandson and grandson's wife of the Mo family, who will let you work? Where do you need any special skills? The Mo family will give you a lifetime of glory."

"We don't need it." Fugui said.

"That's all, that's all, I won't tell you this for now, where is Fourth Sister's husband-in-law? Why haven't I seen him all this time?"

Xu Cao was silent. She hadn't told Mo Yubai about the Yang family's affairs, and she didn't know how he would react if he found out.

Although he didn't want to talk about it, Xu Cao still briefly explained the situation of the Yang family.

Mo Yubai's face darkened as he listened, but fortunately he didn't say anything in the end.Just let Fugui and Xu Cao take him to Yang's house first.

When I came to the Yang family, the Yang family was having dinner, and now there were only three members of the Yang family, Father Yang, Mrs. Chen, and the second child.

When the Yang family saw Mo Yubai, they were very surprised, and looked at Mo Yubai and Fugui for a long time.Chen couldn't help laughing, "Oh, where did this man come from? He was carved out of the same mold as Fugui. Old man, whose is Fugui..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Yubai's face darkened, "Presumptuous! Where did you come from?"

Chen Shi was taken aback, pointed at Mo Yubai and said, "You are presumptuous! Who are you? This is the Yang family, who do you think you are?"

Fugui glanced at Mrs. Chen, and said to Father Yang, "Father, this is my uncle and mother's fifth younger brother."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and Mrs. Chen looked at Mo Yubai with her mouth wide open.

Xu Cao had no choice but to tell the whole story from the side.After Chen heard that the current emperor was going to reward Xu Cao, her face turned dark.When he heard that Mo Yubai turned out to be a minister from the capital, his face turned blue and white alternately.

After Xu Cao finished speaking, everyone was silent.They are all out-and-out farmers, and the people they contact the most are the officials in the county government, and the biggest officials are only the masters of the county government. They have never met the ministers in Beijing, let alone the ministers are relatives of them relation.

"Father, uncle came here just to see you, and then to see mother."

Father Yang nodded, looked at Mo Yuguang, hesitated to speak, and looked very uncomfortable.Although he knew that the daughter-in-law he picked up back then might belong to a rich family, but he never thought that such a rich family would be the young lady of a powerful family.

Mo Yubai really didn't have much to say to this farmer, so he said: "Since the matter is like this, there is nothing to say. But I will bring Fugui and his wife back to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Chen's expression was joyful.Because she knew that if Fugui and Xu Cao went to the capital, the big house and the ten acres of land would belong to their Yang family.

"My wife and I will not go to the capital." Fugui frowned.

But he didn't want Mo Yubai to be as stubborn as him, "No, you are the only flesh and blood of Fourth Sister, you must go back!"

"I'm not going!"

After Fugui finished speaking, he pulled Xu Cao and turned around and left.

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, sighed, then turned to look at Old Man Yang, but didn't say anything.When he turned his head to look at Chen Shi, Mo Yubai's face darkened again and again, and finally he gave a cold snort, and flung his sleeves away.

Chen Shi was very scared by Mo Yubai, and he was relieved when Mo Yubai left.
