MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 138
The mansion in Shifu is comparable in size to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Overlooking from a high altitude, rows of glazed ink tiles line up, curved cornices outline the momentum of the building, the pattern design of the courtyard, and the interspersed embellishment of pavilions and pavilions all reveal the pride and ingenuity of the royal craftsman think.
Mu Qianche and Shi Mo stood on a hidden roof and looked into the mansion.
"So you're satisfied?" Mu Qianche asked, he thought Shi Mo would enter through the gate, but he didn't want him to just sneak a peek in the dark.
"Well, I'm satisfied, otherwise how could I ask you to help?" Shi Mo said.
Mu Qianche gave Shi Mo a sideways glance, and didn't speak any more, but leaned against a flying eaves corner, waiting quietly for someone to finish peeking.
Shi Mo stared at the courtyard of the main house, seeing attendants coming in and out from time to time, and many people he knew well gathered in the courtyard, all with anxious expressions.
Is that person sick? Shi Mo couldn't help thinking.
Shi Shi was right, his mother Shi Xin was indeed ill, and the illness was not serious. Shi Xin's eldest daughter, Shi Rui, is only eight years old, and she can't do anything. Shi Xin's husband, Shi Mo's father, Yao Xi, is weak by nature and can't be a family at all. Right now, Shi Rui's father, Fei Hao, is in charge of the whole Shifu.
At this time, a middle-aged woman in a maroon robe came out of Shi Xin's room with a medicine box, and said something to Fei Hao, and Fei Hao ordered Su Lan, the housekeeper next to him, to hand over the silver taels to the middle-aged woman. , the middle-aged woman nodded and accepted, and hurriedly left the Shifu.
Fei Hao was born with a handsome face and gentle manners. He was twenty-five years old, but only two years older than Shi Mo. He married into the Shi Mansion at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to his eldest daughter Shi Rui at the age of seventeen. She has been loved by Shi Xin ever since. Originally, she was only married in as a servant, but because of her father's dignity, she was immediately promoted to be the rightful lord of the Shifu, only missing Yao Xi's position as the rightful husband.
Feihao's natal family is just a farmer's family on the outskirts of the imperial capital. The family only has a few acres of Susukida and is not rich. Since Da Feihao married in, his natal family has also become prosperous, and now it has become a big landlord with thousands of acres of land, and the family is said to have opened several shops in the city.
On the other hand, Shi Mo's biological father Yao Xi, her natal family was originally a down-and-out official family in the previous dynasty, and her natal family could not be counted on. Yao Xi himself is incompetent, and has no right to speak in the mansion.
As for Shi Xin's other side husbands and servants, since they only had sons, Shi Xin naturally didn't like them. Most of Shi Xin's sons are already married, and there are still three who are under fifteen years old waiting to be married.
"Hey, Mu Qianche, take me down, I'm going to ask that doctor what's wrong with that man!" Shi Mo said while grabbing Mu Qianche's shoulder.
Mu Qianche squinted at him again, and seeing his anxious expression, she forgave his commanding tone for the time being, grabbed his arm, swept across the roofs of the buildings, and landed at the entrance of an alley to wait for the doctor.
When he arrived at the doctor, Shi Mo stepped forward to inquire about the situation, while Mu Qianche stood far away.
The doctor's name is Chuan Ji, and the master of the Shifu usually goes to her when he is sick. Chuan Ji was startled when he saw Shi Mo, he didn't understand how Mo Mo, who had already been reduced to the official supporting field, would appear in Dijing.
In order to gain Chuanji's trust, Shi Mo said that someone had redeemed her for an official match, and now he is remarried. In fact, Chuanji didn't dislike Momo, the eldest son of the Shi family, on the contrary, he admired him very much. When he heard that he remarried, he was also happy for him.
Chuanji then informed Mo Mo of Shi Xin's condition, and seeing Mo Mo's serious face, he couldn't help saying: "Young Master, you should go back and see Mrs. Shi, she, time is running out!"
Shi Mo couldn't accept it for a while, and was stunned, not even knowing when Chuan Ji left.
Mu Qianche's ears are so good that he heard what Doctor Chuanji said just now, so she walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you going back?"
Shi Mo turned to look at Mu Qianche blankly, his face was pale, Mu Qianche had never seen such a fragile Mo Mo, he couldn't say what he had planned for a while, and just said calmly: "Go back."
Prime Minister's Mansion, inside Luyixuan.
The second round of fighting between Mo Xiaoyu and Zhao Tianzan has also ended, the two children have reconciled now, and they are playing with the black and white pieces on the chessboard in the living room, Mo Xiaoyi also follows beside and intervenes from time to time.
People sat in the hall and chatted. Mo Dai proposed to move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and planned to go back tomorrow. Zhao Yingzi looked unhappy, and asked Mo Dai why she left in such a hurry, obviously all the men were watching by her side.
Mo Dai was worried that Zhao Yingzi would say any more exaggerated words, so she used Xiao Xiao's marriage as an excuse. Although Zhao Yingzi was still dissatisfied, she didn't say anything more.
I don't know if it was Mo Dai's illusion, but during the chat, Mo Dai always felt that Zhao Yingzi's third father, Tong Qingzhu, was staring at her all the time.
At this time, the attendant brought a tray of red peace fruits. This peace fruit is a modern apple, but it is small in size. Mo Dai had never seen this kind of fruit when he was in Luling Town, and the fruit types at the bottom of the valley were relatively simple, so he became interested and wanted to leave the seeds to bring Go to the bottom of the valley to plant, where the aura is full, and she believes that it will be able to grow.
The Pingan fruit had been washed, and as soon as it came up, the children surrounded it, but the adults didn't speak, and they didn't dare to move. Qiongwu picked up two and gave them to Tong Qingzhu and Xu Shaolin first, and then distributed them to the children, but the rest was not enough to give each of them one.
Qiongwu was a little embarrassed, so she went out and asked the attendant in a low voice why he didn't bring more. The attendant immediately said with a look of embarrassment that someone else gave the fruit to the prime minister, and there was only so much left after the prime minister finished dividing it.
Qiong Wu couldn't help it either, just as he was about to explain to everyone, he turned around and saw that Mo Dai was using a dagger to divide one of the peace fruits into eight equal parts, neatly dig out the core, carve it into the shape of a rabbit with long ears, and place it neatly in a pile. The inside of the white porcelain plate, which has only eaten dim sum, looks very lively and interesting. Mo Dai also asked the attendant to pick the teeth with a bamboo stick and insert it on the rabbit apple, so that it is convenient to eat.
When the three children saw the fruit, they immediately gave up eating the fruit and handed it to Mo Dai to carve it into bunnies.
Qiong Wu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said that he would learn how to carve a little rabbit from Mo Dai.
Zhao Yingzi looked at him suspiciously, and immediately poured cold water on him: "Forget it, it's not good if you cut your finger!" Saying that, she pushed all the rest of the Ping An fruit to Mo Dai, "Xiao Dai Dai, You can carve all of these into bunnies, originally I wasn't interested in this man's favorite thing to eat, but after you manipulated it with your skillful hands, it made my index finger twitch!"
Mo Dai couldn't stand Zhao Yingzi's exaggerated remarks, because the closer Zhao Yingzi got to her, the more Tong Qingzhu stared at her, saying that she was jealous and hated her, but it didn't look like it, but it made Mo Dai afraid scorching hot.
Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi held a little rabbit in each hand, and smiled triumphantly, as if they were saying, look, our mother is the most powerful! Zhao Tianzan looked at it and began to envy and hate again, pinching the little rabbit and biting it as if to vent his anger.
Poor Mo Xiaoman wanted to eat too, so Mo Wu lightly squeezed a piece for him to bite slowly. As a result, he, who only had six front and upper teeth pierced, bit a big piece, but swallowed it directly because he didn't grind his teeth. Being stuck, when he coughed out, tears were streaming down his face, and Mo Wuqing wanted to slap his own face in pain.
Modai also felt distressed when she looked at it. She remembered that when modern times fed fruit to seven or eight-month-old children, they used silicone bites to prevent children from getting stuck or choking when eating. Of course, there is no such thing here, so She asked the attendant to bring a small bowl and a porcelain spoon, crushed the Ping An fruit into a puree, held Mo Xiaoman in her arms and fed him a little bit.
Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi looked envious, and eagerly wanted to feed Mo Dai, especially Zhao Tianzan, who looked at Modai and Mo Xiaoman in surprise, and forgot to eat the Ping An fruit in his hand.
The three brothers Xu Shaolin, Xiao Sheng, Qiongqing and Mo Wuyun have long been used to Mo Dai's temper and know that she dotes on children. Zhao Yingzi, Qiongwu, Tong Qingzhu and his two sons who didn't know it were all surprised by Modai's actions. How could a woman be so good at taking care of children?
Tong Qingzhu seemed to have discovered a new continent, his eyes were even hotter looking at Mo Dai, and suddenly he pushed his eldest son and second son to him, and said to Modai with a smile: "Miss Mo, this is me. The two sons, the eldest, Zhao Tianhui, is fifteen years old, and the second, Zhao Tianxing, is eight years old. They all look like me. I have been honing their cooking, embroidery, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child. Let me tell you, this Man, everything has to be cultivated from an early age. My two sons, I dare to assure you, they will definitely go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen in the future, and their bridal chamber skills are first-rate. Why, take them, the dowry is absolutely Lots of it!"
Tong Qingzhu's eldest son, Zhao Tianhui, is fifteen years old after all. Hearing that his father was good at promoting him in front of so many people, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to bump his head to death. Although the second son, Zhao Tianxing, was only eight years old, he knew everything he needed to know and what he shouldn't understand, and now he was just like his elder brother, with his head bowed down, ashamed to see others.
Zhao Yingzi and Tong Qingzhu looked at each other, smiling very lewdly, while Qiong Wu's face was flushed.
Looking at Mo Dai's family, except for Mo Dai who kept his face still, everyone else was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
This is nothing, what is even more exciting is that four-year-old Zhao Tianzhan was very upset when he heard his father promote his eldest brother and second brother but left him alone. He ran to Modai and said solemnly: "My name is Zhao Tian Zan, I’m four years old this year, my elder brother and my second brother know it, and I’ll learn it in the future too, so you accept me too, you should always hug me, touch my head, feed me, and… Take me to play!" After speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly smiled proudly at Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi, "You guys will have to call me daddy from now on!"
"Pfft—" Zhao Yingzi laughed out loud, Tong Qingzhu's half-smile was not a smile, but he didn't expect that among the three sons, Zhao Tianzan, the youngest, got his true biography.
Mo Dai wanted to vomit blood when he heard it, and he didn't understand how this big kid could be so precocious, but with a father like Tong Qingzhu, who said he taught that kind of kung fu since he was a child, it's hard not to be precocious!
Xu Shaolin, Xiao Sheng, Qiongqing and Mo Wuyun also suffered internal injuries. Mo Xiaoyi still didn't understand what Zhao Tianzan meant, but Mo Xiaoyu understood that Zhao Tianzan wanted to be his father. , There is no door, so without further ado, go up and push Zhao Tianzan to the ground and start beating.
Everyone hastily fought back and brought up the sensitive topic just now.
When Mu Qianche and Shi Mo returned to Luyixuan, they saw such a chaotic scene.
"Are you back?" Mo Dai looked at them with a smile, and suddenly found that the complexions of the two of them were a little strange, especially Shi Mo, whose face was pale and looked sad and haggard.
"What's the matter, aren't you feeling well?" Modera lowered Momo, stretched out her hand to his forehead, it wasn't hot, not only not hot, but rather cold, his hands were also cold, and trembling unconsciously.
Mo Dai hugged Mo Dai tightly in his arms, and buried his face in her hair, as if he could get the strength to support him by doing so.
Tong Qingzhu clicked his tongue involuntarily, not bad, this little girl's man is so bold, he dares to hug his wife in public, and although he has always regarded himself as bold, he never dared to hug Zhao Wuniang outside !
"Wife master, go back to your room, Shi Mo has something to tell you." Mu Qianche said.
At the end of the day, Mo Dai, Mu Qianche and Shi Mo drove towards Shifu in a carriage.
Maru Niu also followed, and when the punk entered Luyixuan before lunch, it hid in the room and did not come out. He intuitively thought that if the punk saw it, he would definitely think something wrong about it.
The atmosphere along the way was a bit dignified, Shi Mo kept holding Mo Dai's hand, the closer he was to the Shifu, the more uneasy he was.
"My wife, I'm sorry!"
He obviously decided to give up everything and follow Mo Dai wholeheartedly, but once he arrived in the Imperial Capital, he couldn't help but think of the Shifu, and think of that person. Today, when he learned that that person will die soon, he would actually feel pain and sorrow. Obviously that person has never cared about him, he is really a bitch!
"You don't need to apologize. It's not your fault. You will think about that home, which shows that you are kind and affectionate. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have any fetters with you."
"My wife, thank you very much..."
"We are family, no thanks."
"Ok."
Maru Niu snuggled into Mu Qianche's arms and expressed bad acceptance of Shi Mo's fragility today.
Maruu: Woman, this is not like Shimo. He used to be arrogant, but today he looks like a frosted eggplant. The contrast is too great. Could it be a fake?
Mode: Everyone will have a moment of vulnerability.
Maruki: But he is too ugly, even uglier when he is weak, you dare to want such, the taste is really bad!
Mode: You can shut up now!
Maru Niu: Humph! I am thinking of you and your descendants. I bet that the children of this ugly boy will definitely follow him. They are ugly beyond words!
Mode: How dare you say that!
Marugi: That is, if the child he gave birth to is not ugly, I will put my head on the ground, walk around him three times with my front feet, and never call him ugly again!
Mo Dai gave Maru Niu a white look, and ignored it.
At this time, Mu Qianche also had mixed feelings in his heart. If Mo Dai wanted him to come with him, he had a premonition that Mo Dai might save Shi Mo's mother for Shi Mo's sake. It was obvious that she devoted herself wholeheartedly to each of them, and this kind of her always made him feel distressed.
After driving for a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of Shifu. Three people and one pig got out of the carriage, and Maruniu consciously hid in the black bundle brought by Mu Qianche.
Shi Mo knocked on the door, and soon, the corner door next to the door was pulled open, and an old man about fifty years old came out, staring at Modai and his group: "Who are you?"
"Uncle Shitou, it's me, do you still recognize me?" Shi Mo said with a smile.
When the old man named Shi Shi saw Shi Mo, a look of surprise flashed across his old face: "Is it the young master? It is really the young master!" Shi Shi said and suddenly shouted through the door, "The young master is back! "
When the words fell, five or six servants of different ages came out, and when they saw Shi Mo, they all excitedly called out: "Young Master! It's really Young Master! That's great! That's great!"
Mo Dai chatted with them one by one, while Mo Dai and Mu Qianche looked at each other in blank dismay, how popular they are!
Most of the servants in the mansion were extremely enthusiastic after seeing Shi Mo. Shi Mo's biological father, Yao Xi, was undoubtedly the happiest to see his eldest son, while the other fathers were polite and distant.
Yao Xi's height is also around 1.8 meters, he wears a lake green silk robe, his facial features are gentle and handsome, he doesn't look like Mo Mo at all, because Mo Mo told her that this person is his own father, Mo Dai thought Mo Mo might look like his mother maybe.
Yao Xi looked Shi Mo up and down, and realized that Mo Mo was pregnant from the experience of someone who had been there, so he immediately asked him with his eyes. Facing Yao Xi's scrutiny, Mo Mo felt a little embarrassed, pointed at Modai and said, "She is my wife-lord!"
After Mo Dai followed, she clasped her fists and bent down to salute Yao Xi: "Father!"
Yao Xi couldn't believe it, he didn't expect that the eldest son who had been reduced to the position of an official with a poor background would actually remarry, and the wife is still such a handsome and polite woman, and she has a child, this is really merciful!
Even if Yao Xidang took off the jade pendant around his waist and gave it to Mo Dai as a meeting gift, Mo Dai didn't shirk it and happily accepted it.
Yao Xi leads Shi Mo, Mo Dai and Mu Qianche to the main house to visit Shi Xin, the owner of the Shi Mansion, Mo Shi's wife, and meets Fei Hao and his eight-year-old daughter Shi Rui in the courtyard.
Fei Hao was wearing a royal blue silk robe, with a faint smile and a gentle demeanor. Shi Rui was wearing a pink dress and a short silver jacket, with delicate features, somewhat similar to Fei Hao.
Shi Rui couldn't recognize Shi Mo anymore, and he was extremely arrogant and indulgent on weekdays. When he saw a stranger appearing, he said loudly to Yao Xi: "Daddy, you are so confused. Why do you bring everyone to your mother's yard? Hurry up!" Drive them away!"
Modai's eyelids twitched, this child is really unpleasant, uneducated, it makes one's hands itch!
"He is your elder brother Shi Mo, don't you remember?" Yao Xi was too excited to see Shi Mo, so he didn't care about it like a child.
"Eldest brother? Where did the elder brother come from? Didn't he already be assigned as an official match?" Shi Rui looked down on others with a crooked nose and slanted eyes at a young age, and the eyes staring at Shi Mo were especially contemptuous and presumptuous.
Shi Mo sneered, greeted Fei Hao coldly, and then went into the room to meet Shi Xin, but was blocked by Shi Rui.
"What did I ask you? Didn't you hear? Ugly!" After finishing speaking, Shi Rui spat on the ground, then made a face, and continued to curse: "Ugly! No one wants it! Ugly...ah, it hurts." what…"
Mo Dai couldn't hold it back, and directly stepped forward and pulled Shi Rui's cheeks to both sides, and said in a cold voice while pulling: "You don't learn well at a young age, sister, I will teach you for your father!" Shi Rui was in pain twice. With tears in her eyes, she originally stretched out her hand to grab, raised her leg to kick, and struggled violently, but the more she struggled, the more ruthless Modai's strikes were, so she could only cry and cry.
Fei Hao, who had been listening to his daughter swearing and swearing with a faint smile just now, panicked now, and shouted for Mo Dai to let go. The servants took down Mo Dai, but those servants couldn't get close to Mo Dai's body, whoever dared to approach, Mu Qianche directly overthrew her with a palm.
Shi Rui finally cried and begged for mercy, Mo Dai let go, patted her red face and said, "Quickly apologize to your elder brother!"
Shi Rui didn't dare to disobey Mo Dai's order, and apologized to Mo Mo weepingly.
Shi Mo, Mo Dai and Mu Qianche entered the room and saw Shi Xin, who was falling asleep at this time. Mo Dai was very surprised at first glance, because Shi Mo and Shi Xin looked completely different, Shi Xin was small and petite, and now he was tortured by the illness with prominent cheekbones and sunken eye sockets, which can be regarded as profound facial features.
Shi Mo asked the Sichuan doctor, and she said that Shi Xin suffered from tuberculosis, and the medicine had no effect, and it took only two days, and Shi Fu had already prepared Shi Xin's funeral under Fei Hao's command.
After checking Shi Xin's pulse, Mu Qianche also shook her head.
At this time, Shi Xin woke up, and suddenly saw Shi Mo sitting in front of her bed. She thought she was dead, and said weakly: "I didn't expect you to be dead, let alone the first person I saw after I died. It's you! Cough cough..."
"You're not dead!" Shi Mo couldn't call "mother", "But, it's coming soon, I'm here to see you this time, even though you don't want me to come to see you!"
Shi Xin blinked with all his strength, and then realized that she was not dead yet, and that the person standing in front of her bed was really her eldest son, as if suddenly thinking of something, Shi Xin grabbed Shi Mo's wrist, and his bony fingers were now Extremely powerful: "Shi Mo, you came back just in time... From now on, you will take care of your sister instead of me... Cough cough, you have to support the entire Shifu! Cough cough..."
"But I'm married and I have my own life..."
"Put your life down...you, you are the eldest son, you have to support the entire Shifu...cough cough...you have to take care of your sister..." Although Shi Xin was weak, he said forcefully.
