Chapter 17
Xiao Ying glanced at Xie Mo, saw her small body in white, and her childish face was full of sorrow, sighed, squatted in front of her, held her hand and said: "Mo'er , Auntie is most worried about you, you must be well. Cousin will wait for you to come back."

After Xie's mother passed away, Xie Qian wanted to help the spirit go back to his hometown and then stayed in his hometown to keep his filial piety, Xie Mo went with him.The others stayed in Beijing, and the Huang family still presided over Zhongfei, and the filial piety period lasted for 27 months.

"En." Xie Mo replied in a low voice.

Xiao Ying held Xie Mo's hand tightly, her eyes were full of worry, Xie Mo looked at him and nodded vigorously, "Cousin, don't worry, I will be fine."

Only then did Xiao Ying get up and drive back to the palace.

Xie Mo walked back to her father's study, leaned in his arms, and stayed with him, and she didn't want to socialize with mourners outside.

After a while, Xie Qian came in and said that after seeing the date, he chose to start the trip on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Okay!" Xie Huaiyuan patted the back of the eldest son's hand, "Take good care of your sister, she is still young. In the future, this family will always be run by you. Everyone in the family will also depend on you."

Xie Qian suddenly felt uncertain, with his father around, there was no reason for him to be relied on as a family member.

"I'm talking about the future. Well, let's take Mo'er out. The days are tight, and you should also prepare your luggage. Bring more people around your sister. Don't waste your time in your hometown."

"Yes."

Xie Mo's maid and mother in charge were packing up the box for her, and Linglong stayed with her in the pavilion.The first seven days have passed, and the ritual is over.She sat here bored, occasionally throwing a little fish food into the lake.

"Why are you blowing air here?" Mrs. Huang, dressed in filial piety, walked into the pavilion.

"The house is in a mess, I'm going out for a walk. Why is my sister-in-law here?" Xie Mo put down the fish food.

"Let me see if you're missing anything."

"I don't know either. Mother Wang and the servant girl are taking care of everything around me."

Huang said: "I also know that it is useless to ask you. I asked someone to ask your mother in charge. She is also someone sent by my mother. She knows much better than your master."

Mother Wang, who is in charge, said that there is nothing missing.However, Mrs. Huang still gave her 500 taels of silver, saying that she was from a poor family who was well off, and what was missing could be bought.

Although Xie Mo was not short of money, she still wanted to thank her for taking out the 500 taels from her own money, so she thanked her.

"Sister-in-law knows that although you are young, you have been with your mother since you were a child, and you have an idea in your heart. I am also here waiting for you to come back."

Xie Qian has gone to several villages where he has been doing free clinics. Since he decided to become an official, he has successively introduced several people from the villages to work as clerks in the pharmacy in the city.

Now that he has been away for more than two years, he has left some money for them, in case someone who is seriously ill but has no money for medical treatment can go to the front desk to pay money.Xie Qian studied medicine because of her mother's illness, but medicine can only cure the disease but not the life.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, he and Xie Mo bid farewell to their father and got into the carriage together.

Xie Huaiyuan asked him to bring Xie Mo with him because he was going to court and had little time to take care of the family affairs.And Xie Mo was the most clingy to Xie Qian since childhood.Just let her follow to relax.

It was the first time for Xie Mo to go out of the capital in his life, and he felt fresh when he went out of the city gate, so he lifted the curtain and looked outside.Xie Qian never held her back, and let her watch along the way. Along the way, there were people who arranged places for meals and lodging.

Xie Qian was sad in her own heart, thinking that her sister was also, so she told her the customs and knowledge along the way to spread each other's sorrow.After walking for half a month, I returned to my hometown in Yunyang.Someone has been looking after the old house, so they can live in it directly. The brother and sister live in two connected large courtyards, so that their respective servants can be accommodated easily.

The Xie family in Yunyang is a common surname, one of the descendants of the Xie family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.Half of the people here are surnamed Xie, and the other half are related to those surnamed Xie.

Empress Xie is the respected mother of the country, and Xie Huaiyuan is the head of all the officials, so Xie Qian brothers and sisters came back to observe their filial piety, and the patriarch welcomed them all.After settling down, Xie Qian brought Xie Mo's family to visit.

Naturally, there were no big social activities on the days of keeping filial piety, so Xie Qian took Xie Mo to study, and asked her to read more history books, so as to teach her something, after all, she would need it in five or six years.

"When the filial piety period expires, we will return to the capital. Since we want to go back, we have to know what happened in the capital, the palace, and even other places." Xie Qian smiled, "Even if the empress has hinted at your life's event, but the emperor But I have never expressed my opinion. However, as the only daughter-in-law of the Xiangfu, even if you do not enter the palace in the future, you will definitely marry into the family of the Gongqing to be the head of the house. Now, your mother has gone, and your sister-in-law is far away. Capital. Of course, only my elder brother will teach you."

"Oh."

Not long after staying here, I received a letter from the capital, knowing that the prince had an eldest daughter half a month ago, and because she was the first grandchild, the emperor liked it very much.

Xie Qian looked at his younger sister, "It's a daughter." He didn't want Shi Liangdi to give birth to the prince's eldest son, but it was five or six years before Mo'er could marry.During this period, the prince will definitely have another child.

Empress Xie has a regret that two of Xie Mo's direct sisters died young, and the others are concubines.There is only one Xie Mo who happens to be eight years younger than the prince.If she wants to leave the position of the hostess of the Eastern Palace to her niece, she will have to wait a few years before the eldest grandson is born.As for Xie Mo, there will inevitably be a few concubine children who are older than their biological children.

Xie Mo was not in a good mood, "I know, it's all like this. Will my brother also want to take a concubine in the future?"

"I'm keeping my mother's filial piety now, let's not talk about this. Come on, let's continue to review the book. Yesterday we talked about Yan Zi's envoy to Chu."

"Let's talk for a while, um, brother, what about the second prince, how is he doing in Jiangnan?"

"Uh, I don't know about that."

Xie Mo was a little disappointed, but he still lowered his head and opened the book.My brother's lectures are very lively, and she likes to listen to them.

Xie Qian actually knew about Xiao Mao's stay in the south of the Yangtze River.Although he is in his hometown in Yunyang, the manpower of the Xie family has gradually been transferred to him.He has his own way to know Xiao Ma's situation, and he must pay attention to it.After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.However, Xie Mo's attention to Xiao Ma made him alert.It seems that Concubine Yun, mother and son have put a lot of effort into Mo'er.

"Mo'er, you should know that we are relatives, and our position has already been settled."

"However, my cousin's status as the crown prince has already been decided."

"Do you think the dust has settled like this? So, don't get too close to the second prince."

Xie Qian had a serious face, Xie Mo just nodded obediently, "Brother, I understand. In fact, next time we meet, I have to take care of the defense of men and women. So, I won't get too close."
