Chapter 9

In the next few days, Mo Yan could be said to stay at home, quietly learning etiquette from the old mother in the mansion.

When saying hello, at what angle should the body be tilted, with whom to greet, and what kind of salute should be performed.When speaking, what details and proportions should be paid attention to, and what should be paid attention to when eating.Even laughing should be done in moderation, and walking should be "slender and thin steps"... The old mother gave guidance and demonstrations one by one.

Fortunately, Zhu Mo also came to Guan to ask Mo Yan from time to time, and she didn't find it difficult to pass the time, on the contrary, she found it very interesting.Hehe, I think she is also a standard house girl in the 21st century, and she does not leave the house for nothing. Here, it is not difficult to be a boudoir lady.What's more, with Zhumo by her side, what could she be dissatisfied with?

During this period, Zhu Mo told her that she was the only daughter of the Mistress of the Mo family, and there was no need to mention her four elder brothers, Zhu Mo only briefly explained.Zhu Mo said, this Mo family is the number one family in the Liyue Dynasty, not to mention his father, Mo Shengchi, who was the prime minister in the Liyue Dynasty, and also held the power in the court. The entire Liyue Dynasty, except the royal family, is afraid of everyone The Mo family.

Mo Shengchi is in his forties this year. He became a scholar at the age of 13, a high school candidate at the age of 16, and won the first prize at the age of 25.The Mo family was originally the family of officials for generations, so the Mo family is even more glorious.Since then, Mo Shengchi has been in charge of the imperial court. For 20 years, he has been in charge of the imperial court, and has been highly valued and trusted by the emperor.

On the day when Mo Shengchi won the first prize at the age of 25, the emperor was overjoyed. Seeing that he was young and handsome, with a good sense of style and martial arts, he betrothed his sister-in-law, Concubine Hua's sister Huashi, to Mo Shengchi. The current mistress of the Mo family, Mo Yan's current mother.

Mo Yan sighed in her heart, no wonder her mother was so confident, it turned out that she was the real sister of the imperial concubine, and the emperor personally appointed her to marry her.In that way, even if she was left out in the Mo family, no one could shake her position as mistress, not to mention that she had four sons and one daughter, which made her position indestructible.

Zhu Mo continued: "Father married one wife and seven concubines, and the wife is naturally the mother. The other seven concubines are all the beloved daughters of ministers with real power in the court. This move is naturally to consolidate the position of the Mo family. Therefore, My mother has no objection to taking a concubine. Although he married a concubine, my father has never neglected my mother these years, and he will definitely spend ten days in her room every January."

Mo Yan felt that Mo Shengchi had a bit of conscience, but even so, Mo Yan still felt a little bit disgusted with Mo Shengchi's taking a concubine from the bottom of her heart.

Zhu Mo saw Mo Yan's displeasure, and laughed and teased: "Yan'er doesn't like the fact that his father takes concubines, come to think of it, Yan'er must like men to be loyal to one of them?"

Mo Yan was startled, afraid that Zhu Mo would hear the difference between her and Miss Mo from her answer.But after thinking about it, Ms. Mo must be domineering, and she must not be able to stand men with three wives and four concubines, so she responded out of her own temperament: "Yes. Conventionally, women can only have one man, why can't men have just one woman?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Mo was not surprised by her words, but still only smiled, "Yan'er is right."

Mo Yan squinted at Zhu Mo and asked, "Second Brother said that Eldest Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother, except for Eldest Brother, although they are not married yet, they have concubines. How come Second Brother didn't even take a concubine?" ?”

Zhu Mo looked at Mo Yan and remained silent for a while.

Mo Yan was slightly startled, seeing that Zhu Mo's eyes were clear and pure, and seemed to hide thousands of things, Mo Yan couldn't think of any words to describe it, in short, looking at those eyes, Mo Yan's heart was not very peaceful.She regretted asking Zhumo this question.

After the sound, Mo Yan took the initiative to break the silence and said: "Ahem, cough, second brother, where did you just say?"

"Why are you coughing again, is your body still not fully recovered?" Zhu Mo came back to his senses and asked Mo Yan with concern.

"I'm fine, I just saw you in a daze and reminded you to regain your composure." Mo Yan replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Mo was relieved, but a blush appeared on that handsome face, "Is that so? Hehe, I just mentioned the concubines of mother and father. Among the seven concubines, except Aunt Yue who had no children, , and the other six aunts all gave birth to children for the father."

"Aunt Gui of the Guilin Courtyard was the first concubine my father took in. She had a son and a daughter. The man was named Zhuchen, who was the same age as me. He was 22 this year. Now he follows his father in the court and never leaves his side. The daughter's name is Lin Luo. Because of her beauty, she was married at the age of 14, and her husband was a senior scholar in the imperial court; Aunt Zi lived in the first courtyard of Zi, her temperament was quiet, and she rarely met outsiders. She had two daughters named Ziyi and Ziqing. Ziyi 17 I just got married a few days ago, and my husband is a student of my father. Ziqing is the same age as you, also 15 years old."

Every time Zhumo mentioned Mo Yan's age, it was the most painful time for her.

Faint food, she is only 15 years old in this time and space, she is so tender!In the 21st century, she always hoped that she would be younger. She didn't expect this, so she felt how depressing it was to be young.Especially every time she faced Zhumo, when she remembered that he was only 22 years old, but she wanted to call him 'Second Brother', it was difficult for her to call him out.I think she was originally a 25-year-old woman, but now she wants to call a man who is three years younger than her brother here.

At that time, Mo Yan had the urge to hit the wall.

Not daring to reveal her depression to Zhu Mo, Mo Yan tried her best to make her smile look normal, and said, "Second brother, continue talking."

Zhu Mo nodded, and said: "The one who was reprimanded by my mother today was Aunt Xin, who was the last one my father married to the family. She gave birth to a daughter, and you have seen it before, Qilian. Aunt Xin is not liked by her father. No place."

Mo Yan frowned, Zhu Mo saw the doubt in her heart, and said: "Aunt Xin's health is not very good, every time she loses consciousness she talks nonsense. Unfortunately, every time she speaks nonsense Afterwards, it all came true. Therefore, the entire Mo family regarded her as an unlucky person. Not only the father and all the aunts, sons, and ladies, but even the servants of the Mo family were afraid to avoid her. It's not enough. The Mo family has sealed this matter very tightly, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and because of this, Qilian is 17 years old, but she is not married yet."

Mo Yan understood a little bit in her heart, no wonder that when Aunt Xin was crying that day, her mother scolded her like that, saying that she cursed herself.Thinking about it, Aunt Xin must have said something 'nonsense' about herself when she was ill.

This matter is very strange, subconsciously, Mo Yan became interested.

Zhu Mo briefly introduced the identification of the Mo family, and Mo Yan made the final calculation in his heart. Mo Shengchi had a wife and seven concubines, eight sons, and nine daughters.In order of seniority, the sons of the Mo family are: Zhuxuan, Zhumo, Zhusheng, Zhuqi, Zhuli, Zhuyu, Zhuzhen, Zhugui; the young ladies are: Lin Luo, Qilian, Ziyi, Ziqing, Yuqing , Xue Ping, Le Zhi, Le Xin and Mo Yan herself.The children of the Mo family, except for their own name which is the single character 'Yan', the rest are double characters.

Now, it's time to weigh your weight in this home!

Thinking of this, Mo Yan asked: "Second brother said, you don't want to pursue an official career, why is that? Daddy must be very angry, right?"

Zhu Mo just smiled, but didn't speak.

Mo Yan asked again: "I usually get into trouble for fun, daddy doesn't like me, right?"

It's strange to like it, Mo Yan secretly contrasts, she has been here for more than half a month, and her mother will come to see her every day, but what about Mo Shengchi?Not to mention stepping half a step into the 'Cuiwan Pavilion' where she lives, she has never even seen the figure of the old man.Her father, Mo Shengchi, was tall or short, round or flat, she had never seen him before!It's so annoying!

Zhu Mo thought it was because he couldn't bear Mo Yan's distress, he paused, thought about his words, and said: "Uh... Father is busy with state affairs, so... I haven't come to see you recently, don't mind it."

Mo Yan smiled, and understood a little bit from Zhu Mo's intermittent words.

"Second brother, I want to listen to the truth, you are perfunctory me!"

Zhu Mo could only smile and said: "Yan'er always gets into trouble, even though my father has never seen it with his own eyes, he has heard a lot about you. Hehe, but, his father has never personally blamed you. Come to think of it, he still loves you very much. of."

If you don't blame yourself, is that called love?Zhumo, what kind of theory is this!Mo Yan complained secretly, it seems that she is not very liked by her father.In the future, I have to improve my value in this family, and I have to find a way to make my father treat me differently.At least, let her change her opinion of herself a little bit!
