Chapter 92:
Jin Yan, who was among the twelve people in the west courtyard, ran to open the door for her first. As soon as the door was opened, a body that was cooled by the night wind rushed straight into his arms, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol.
"...Mo Dai?" Xiao Xiao asked Jin Yan drunkenly.
"My wife, I am Jin Yan..."
"Who is Jin Yan? I don't know you, go away...I'm looking for Mo Dai!" Xiao Xiao pushed Jin Yan away, and walked towards the front yard crookedly, holding up a The small wine jar poured wine into his mouth.
Jin Yan felt a little sad because of Xiao Xiao's words, but Xiao Xiao was drunk, and tomorrow she might not even remember what she said.
The night wind was cold, but Xiao Xiao was burned by the strong wine, even though his skin felt cold, his chest was burning hot.
She came to the front yard and slapped on the doors one by one, shouting loudly as she slapped: "Modai...Modai, come out!"
So Mu Qianche and Mo You opened the door and walked out. In the darkness, Xiao Xiao couldn't see who came out, so he confirmed, "Mo Dai...is it Mo Dai?"
"Miss Xiao, my sister is not with Young Master today, I think she is with Young Master Xiao!" Mo You reminded.
Although Mu Qianche didn't know why Xiao Xiao got so drunk today, but she was not with them when she came back, obviously she had something on her mind.
"Xiao Xiao, you're drunk, let Mr. Jin help you go back and rest." Seeing that Jin Yan followed, Mu Qianche said calmly.
Xiao Xiao recognized Mu Qianche's voice, subconsciously felt a little awe towards him in his heart: "Since Mo Dai is not here, then I'll go first...Excuse me, Mr. Qianche!"
Xiao Xiao turned and left, shaking unsteadily, Jin Yan hurried forward to support her, but she subconsciously pushed her away.
Xiao Xiao came to the backyard and was about to knock on the doors one by one, but saw that Mo Dai had come out of Xiao Sheng's room, Xu Shaolin and Mo Wuyun also got up and opened the door and came out.
Mo Dai raised her hand to signal them to go in and rest first, Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Xiao worriedly, he had never seen his sister so abnormal like tonight. Modai patted his hand, then walked towards Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Sheng saw that Mo Dai helped Xiao Xiao out of the backyard, although he felt uneasy, but he knew that his elder sister trusted Mo Dai the most, and she might not say some things to his younger brother, but she would tell her the truth to Mo Dai Mood.
Mo Dai helped Xiao Xiao to sit in the gazebo of Mo Mansion, Jin Yan thoughtfully brought over some snacks and a pot of hot tea, and said, "Master, the wife master is drunk, she has been calling for you, this time I'll leave it to you afterwards!" Mo Dai nodded, and Jin Yan took another deep look at Xiao Xiao before leaving.
A lantern was hung on the eaves of the gazebo. The yellow and white light shone on the stone table inside the gazebo. Two cups of hot tea were filled with steam.
Even when Xiao Xiao sat in the gazebo, he rested his head on Mo Dai's shoulder, like a drowning man eagerly trying to grab that life-saving straw, with one hand tightly clutching Mo Dai's arm, while the other With one hand, he continued to hold the bottom of the small wine jar and poured wine into his mouth.
"Is it interesting for you to drink alone?" Modai asked lightly.
"No, it's boring, come, drink with me!" Xiao Xiao handed the small wine jug to Mo Dai, but Mo Dai didn't pick it up.
"Don't expect me to drink the rest of your wine, I despise your saliva!" Modai said mercilessly.
Xiao Xiao's body trembled, but she didn't speak. She remembered that Modai was a bit of a clean freak.
"Tell me, why did you drink like this tonight?" Although Mo Dai asked like this, she already guessed in her heart that it must be related to Shi Mo, and only Shi Mo can make Xiao Xiao go crazy Not like herself anymore.
But Shi Mo stayed in Mo's mansion all the time today, while Xiao Xiao stayed in the massage parlor. The two never met at all. Why did Xiao Xiao explode suddenly? When she came back from work in the evening, Xiao Xiao hesitated and dodged his words. At that time, she didn't care. After all, Xiao Xiao was an adult. She was free to do what she wanted, and she didn't want to interfere with her too much.
"Mo Dai, can you really not marry Shi Mo?" Xiao Xiao suddenly asked straight to the point.
Mo Dai was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head: "I can't."
"Why? Shi Mo is so good, why can't you marry him?" Xiao Xiao had an incomprehensible expression on his face.
Mo Dai picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xiao Xiao: "You are cold all over, but it's warm when you drink it." She also picked up another cup of hot tea and sipped lightly.
Where did Xiao Xiao want to drink hot tea, and asked again: "Why can't you marry him? You have married so many people, so why not marry another one?"
Mo Dai was taken aback by Xiao Xiao's logic, but she was drunk, so she didn't care about her: "You are drunk now, I won't explain it to the drunk, it's useless to explain, anyway, you will forget it tomorrow Clean it up!"
"I'm not drunk!" Xiao Xiao was a little annoyed, he put the water glass heavily on the stone table, and then clasped Mo Dai's shoulders with both hands and stared at her, his eyes were full of pain and despair, but at the same time he was a little bit unwilling, "Mo Dai, if you can't marry Shi Mo because I like him, then I beg you to marry him. My only two wishes in this life are that Xiao Sheng can marry a good wife and lead a life without worries. I can live happily. Of course I think I can marry him and give him happiness myself, but he has no intentions of me, and I can't see him unhappy, as long as he is unhappy for a day, I can't give up on him!"
As Xiao Xiao said, he suddenly knelt down towards Mo Dai, and his eyes were already hot: "Mo Dai, in this life, I only believe in you, and only you can give him happiness! At the official match that day, when he saw I let me go, I didn't want to leave there at all, he agreed to leave there only when I said your name and lied that you wanted to marry him, he likes you, Modai!"
Mo Dai looked at Xiao Xiao who was kneeling on the ground speechlessly, and didn't let her get up, anyway, she wouldn't get up without her approval, she had seen her stubbornness before, so she put the water glass on the stone Standing up on the table, with one hand behind his back, he pointed at Xiao Xiao's forehead with the other and said—
"Xiao Xiao, because of your drunkenness, I forgive you for making unreasonable demands. You said that only I can give Shi Mo happiness. Are you Shi Mo's mother or his father? Only he knows whether he is happy or not. You are blind." What are you worrying about? The reason why he heard my name and you lied that I was going to marry him before he left the matchmaking scene was because I still owe him a hundred taels of silver. He must have been wondering how could I be so A shameless woman who owes him money but does not pay back, but is greedy for his beauty, he wants to come out and teach me a lesson, not what you said I like or not, understand?"
After Xiao Xiao heard Modai's analysis, his heart surged and he felt like being struck by lightning.
"Okay, don't bring up this topic again in the future. When you get up, you don't think it's embarrassing to kneel!" Mo Dai rudely pulled Xiao Xiao up, Xiao Xiao's knees went numb, and the whole person rushed towards Modai, Mo Dai Dai didn't notice it for a while, and took several steps back. When she almost stepped back on the steps and fell backwards, her shoulders were supported by a pair of big hands.
Mo Dai only felt a breath of green grass and mud wafting into her nostrils, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat, what she said just now would not be heard by the man behind her!
"Xiao Xiao!" Mo Mo's voice came, Xiao Xiao raised his face, and saw Shi Mo standing in the gazebo with a black face, his black robe was blown up by the night wind, and he exuded a dangerous look like a beast. breath. Xiao Xiao subconsciously snuggled into Modai's arms.
"You are really capable. Not only did you lie and deceive me, but you also asked for a marriage for me when I didn't know it. Are you my mother or my father? Fortunately, only I know whether I am happy or not. What are you so crazy about?" What?" Shi Mo's stern words made Xiao Xiao shrink his neck, and Mo Dai's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and sure enough, this guy heard what she just said.
Shi Shi walked to the front of the stone table and took a sip of the water glass. When Mo Dai saw it, he reminded him: "That's what I drank!"
Mo Dai didn't care much and drank it directly, and the place where he put his mouth happened to be where Modai's mouth was. After taking a sip, he said: "Don't be afraid, I don't despise your saliva!"
Mo Dai's body trembled immediately, this shameless man really followed from the beginning!
Shi Mo drank several more sips before putting down the water glass with a sigh, as if he just drank some excellent tea.
Xiao Xiao is really afraid of Shi Mo at this moment, no, it should be said that she has a sense of awe towards Mo Mo from the very beginning, unknowingly derived from awe, a trace of joy, when she found out, that joy has turned into infatuation , but maybe she lived in her own ivory tower from the beginning to the end, relying on her imagination to deepen her infatuation with Shi Mo.
"Xiao Xiao!" Shi Shi flipped off his robe and sat in front of the stone table chicly, then turned his face to look at Xiao Xiao who had hidden behind Mo Dai at this time, his eyes were sharp and deeper than the night, "I Thank you for your kindness to me, but I can’t respond to you. Today I will make it clear to you, my marriage, my happiness, I will fight for it myself, even if I can’t get it, I won’t feel unhappy. Enjoy the process, you understand?"
Xiao Xiao nodded subconsciously, but then shook his head again.
Shi Mo took another sip of the water glass: "Forget it, you're as stupid as you are, it's hard for you to understand! In other words, stop meddling in my own business, understand?"
Xiao Xiao was startled, a look of hurt flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded. Seeing Xiao Xiao's sad appearance, although Mo Dai couldn't bear it, this is a matter between Shi Shi and Xiao Xiao, and she is inconvenient to intervene.
Shi Mo suddenly drank the water in the glass in one gulp, then stood up and smiled at Xiao, "Come here!"
Xiao Xiao shrank her neck again in fright, but she didn't dare to refuse Shi Mo's request, and walked over hesitantly. Holding her up, her face was touching his finely knotted chest, and the breath that belonged to him strongly invaded her lungs, she was so frightened that she forgot to breathe, and her whole body was as stiff as a stone.
Mo Dai was also taken aback by Shi Mo's abnormal behavior, and subconsciously stepped aside to let his uncle open an unimpeded path.
"You keep saying that you like me, and you don't want to marry me, but you are afraid of me to death. Let me ask you, if I marry you, would you dare to have a bridal chamber with me? I, Shi Mo, don't like a wimpy wife, you stupid girl." I have always been like a younger sister in my heart, and it will not change in the future! You are just worshiping me blindly, give up on me, and find your own happiness!"
Mo Mo said, looking down at Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he closed his eyes, his heart was beating wildly, and the alcohol all over his body turned into cold sweat, and the night wind blew, making her shiver.
Shi Mo laughed lowly, and finally pressed a kiss on her forehead, sighed and said: "I will remember your kindness to me, sister! Well, big brother will take you back to the room, and don't drink any more in the future." Alright, drunk, the whole family is worried about you!"
Xiao Xiao's heart suddenly became sore, and tears burst out instantly. For three years, she seemed to be waiting for a thoughtful word from him, so in the next second, Xiao Xiao let out an unpleasant wail.
"If you cry again, I will throw you into the small pond, do you believe it?" Shi Mo threatened.
"Woooo..." Xiao Xiao's voice dropped instantly.
"Still crying?" Shi Mo stared.
"Oh!" Xiao Xiao hurriedly held back.
"That's good, treat Jin Yan better in the future, he is a good man, and he cares about you too!"
"..."
"What about the answer?"
"Ok…"
"I heard from A Sheng that there is a couple of Mr. Shang in the massage parlor who are also interested in you. Hurry up and marry them all!"
"..."
"Ok?"
"Ok…"
"Suck your snot up, if it gets on Lao Tzu's robe, I will cut you alive!"
"Prickly..."
"...Why are you so disgusting?"
"You made me suck..."
"Ok?"
"..."
Mo Dai looked at the back of Shi Mo holding Xiao Xiao away, listening to the ridiculous conversation between them, feeling mixed feelings in her heart, Mo Mo spoke clearly this time, Xiao Xiao can only be his sister, the relationship between them No matter how impossible it is, I don't know if Xiao Xiao can pass the hurdle in her heart, alas!
Modai put the teapot, water cups and snacks on the tray and walked out of the gazebo. A gust of night wind blew, and she couldn't help shivering, and walked quickly towards the backyard.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Xiao announced to the family at the dinner table that she would propose marriage to the son of the Shang family.
This news made Mo Dai feel a little sudden. They had been urging Xiao Xiao to go ahead of time, but they hadn't seen her act for a long time. She was obviously moved when Shang Tong gave her the purse last time, but in the end there was still no news. It's just Shi Mo's words that she is going to propose marriage today, which is really hurtful, the weight of the whole family can't be worth Shi Mo's words!
As soon as Xiao Xiao made this decision, she first looked at Mo Dai, seeing Mo Dai's indifferent appearance, she panicked in her heart: "Mo Dai, is there something wrong with me going to propose marriage now?"
Mo Dai glanced at her, and said lightly: "Sure, why not? It's not right if you delay!"
"Really? Hehe!" Xiao Xiao was relieved, scratching the back of his head and giggling.
Mo Dai couldn't stand her, but that's all, who made Shi Mo hold the most weight in her heart! As long as she is doing well, nothing else matters.
Xu Shaolin and Xiao Sheng were so happy that they didn't even care about eating, so they hurried to prepare the dowry. The three Mo Wuyun brothers also rushed over to help after dinner, and Mu Qianche and Mo You also followed. For a while, only Mo Dai, Xiao Xiao and the two younger ones were left at the dinner table. As for Mo Mo, the twelve people Said he was still sleeping in the room.
In the massage parlor, Shang Shui looked at Xiao Xiao who was kneeling in front of her in surprise, and when he saw her presenting one hundred taels of silver, two bolts of high-quality silk, two bamboo boxes of pastries and two Liancheng's Pearl's betrothal gift, her eyes almost popped out, it was such a big deal, she really never dreamed of it!
Shangren Shangyi was so happy that he wiped away his tears, while Shang Dashangtong looked at Xiao Xiao and those precious betrothal gifts in disbelief.
"Aunt Shang, Uncle Shang, I want to marry Shang Da, Shang and the two young masters as husband-in-law. I will definitely treat them with all my heart in the future, and I hope Aunt Shang and Uncle Shang can make it happen!" After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Shang Shui's decision. Reply.
Shang Shui was too engrossed in staring at the two pearls, Shangren Shangyi couldn't help tugging at her sleeves, she regained consciousness suddenly, not knowing what Xiao Xiao said just now, she just laughed and said: "Okay! "
When Xiao Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he finally felt relieved: "Aunt Xie Shang, then, when can I marry them?"
"The sooner the better, I think you can arrange your marriage after Ms. Mo returns from the Luling branch! I'm also waiting to hold my granddaughter!" Shang Shui said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao and Shang Da could not help but blush.
Shang Shui was very happy at this moment, someone finally came to propose marriage to her two sons, and the dowry was so generous, she would have to find time to go out and show off later, to show those who underestimated her son, her son Not only did she get married, but she also married into a good family. I envied and hated them to death, ha, ha, ha!
The two pearls in the betrothal gift were given to Xiao Xiao by Shi Shi, saying that it was his wish to be a big brother.
When Mo Dai thought of Mo Mo wearing a loose black robe and coming out to buy Xiao Xiao a betrothal gift with a lazy and sleepy face, she hated her teeth, because that guy was obviously giving Xiao Xiao pearls, but his eyes were always Staring at her, when she inadvertently met his gaze, he gave her a charming wink and said with a smile: "Do you want pearls too? Don't worry, let alone pearls, it's me Mo Shi himself, can give you all!"
"Mo Dai?" Mu Qianche couldn't help calling out when she saw that Mo Dai was thinking about things.
"What's wrong?" Mo Dai returned to her senses.
"I'm free now, didn't you say you want to practice calligraphy?"
"Ah, yes, I'm going to practice now!" Mo Dai walked into the pharmacy, took out the pen and paper that Mu Qianche used to write prescriptions, and began to copy medical books and practice calligraphy.
Mu Qianche looked at Mo Dai's focused side face while practicing calligraphy, and after looking at it for a long time, she turned her eyes away and found another medical book and flipped through it silently.
This time, Shang Shui really has both face and face, and he is happy all day long, looking at Xiao Xiao is also more and more satisfied. The business of the massage parlor is still good, but the customers who come to massage want Modai to massage them, but at the same time, they are reluctant to part with the money, so they can only ask the masseuse to massage them for them.
And because the scar on the face of the masseur Shan Liang is too terrifying, almost all the customers are reluctant to ask her for a massage, so she can only do some chores now. Shan Liang felt that he didn't massage the clients but still had the masseuse's monthly silver, and felt very sorry, so he took the initiative to ask Modai to resign.
Mo Dai did not agree, because she heard that Shan Liang's family was relatively poor. She was the eldest daughter of the family, and she had three younger brothers who were in their teens, and another father who was not in good health. I didn't dare to get married, I was afraid that if I married, I wouldn't be able to support myself.
Modai touched her face carefully, and then let her continue to work.
After that, Mo Dai touched Xiao Xiao's face and Qing Cheng's face respectively. After touching, he drew some patterns of masks on the paper. Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, he went to the jewelry shop and asked the craftsmen there to make masks according to the patterns. Get those masks out. The mask does not require too complicated a process, it only needs to be made according to the size of the pattern given by Mode, and it can be completed in one day.
So the next day, when Mo Dai distributed three masks of various shapes to Xiao Xiao, Shan Liang and Qing Cheng, Shan Liang suddenly understood Mo Dai's good intentions, and burst into tears. Xiao Xiao and Qing Cheng looked at the mask and found it novel and interesting. The most important thing is that the mask is made of silver, so it might cost a lot of money.
Shan Liang's mask has half of her face. After wearing it, it covers the scars, but makes her facial features look mysterious and handsome. She is a beautiful woman, so there is still a half-scary feeling. Shan Liang himself will go Looking in the mirror, I was so happy that I cried.
Qingcheng's mask is a modern spectacle frame shape, which makes up for her small forehead and high cheekbones, making the lines of the whole face smooth and round, which is also much more beautiful. And Xiao Xiao's mask is an exquisite fox shape. Wearing the mask gives her a bit of a queen's glamorous aura, which just hides her impression of a silly big sister.
Xiao Xiao happily looked in the mirror, and asked Mo Dai from time to time if she looked good. When Shang Datong saw Xiao Xiao wearing a mask, he was amazed for a moment, Shang Tong blushed, and Shang Da smiled directly: "It's so beautiful!"
So Xiao Xiao blushed suddenly, turned around and left as if fleeing.
Xiaoqi said to herself behind the scenes: "Sister Xiao really looks good with a mask on, she doesn't look like her anymore, she's obviously stupid when she doesn't wear a mask!"
Seeing Shang Da and Shang Tong's complexion suddenly turned pale, Mo You hurriedly pulled Xiao Qi aside, and whispered: "You just say that it looks good, and the rest of the words are superfluous!"
From the corner of Xiao Qi's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Shang Da and Monk Tong, and immediately understood Mo You's meaning, so he smiled and said: "Brother Da, Brother Tong, Sister Xiao looks so good wearing a mask, I can't help being happy to fall in love with her." !"
As soon as Xiaoqi's words came out, Shang Da and Shang Tong's expression turned even worse.
Mo You simply ignored Xiao Qi, this idiot, she decided not to be with him anymore, so as not to lower his IQ!
Bai Duoyin's branch massage parlor in Luling Town is about to open, and Mo Dai will take the whole family to Luling Town, and it will take more than ten days to go back and forth, so the massage parlor in Shuiquan Town will be fully managed by Shang Shui's family On the side of the female soup, there are two masseurs, Shan Liang and Qingcheng, while the masseuses of the male soup are Shang Dashangtong and Xiaoqi.
As for the Mo Mansion, Xu Shaolin was a little worried about the twelve men Xiao Xiao brought back from the official match, but Mo Dai patted the back of his hand and said, "Father, don't worry, it's a blessing, not a curse, it's a disaster." You can't hide, as long as people are fine, everything else is not important!"
So a family of ten or so people set off on the road in two carriages. The state of mind of this trip is quite different from the last time. Last time, the whole family moved, and the future was unknown, and my heart was uneasy, but this time it was more like a trip. The bad guys are guarded by martial arts masters, and when they encounter headaches and brain fever, there are also genius doctors by their side. If they get lost, there will be her Modai's supernatural power to show their power.
The distribution of people in the carriage this time is a bit different from last time, Mu Qianche knows kung fu, so Mo Dai let him ride in a carriage with Xu Shaolin, Xiao Sheng, Mo Wuyun, Mo Wufeng and Mo You, while the rest ride with her in a carriage.
There are two carriages, one is rented, and there is a ready-made coachman, while the other is bought by Shi Mo, and Xiao Xiao is the driver.
At this time, Mo Dai was holding Mo Xiaoman and the two little Bingwanu and sat on the seat near the back wall of the carriage, while Mo Wuqing and Mo Shi each occupied a window position.
Maruniu and the three little ones were very excited, they stayed in the Mo Mansion for a long time without leaving the door, and this trip made them find it novel and interesting.
Mo Xiaoman fell asleep in the shaking carriage after a while, and was picked up by Mo Wuqing, so Maru Niu and the remaining two little ones began to fight for Modai's arms, unfortunately, Maru Niu fought for Mo Dai's arms. He couldn't grab the two little ones, so he had to lie next to Modai, and the two little ones occupied one of Modai's legs, and then began to pester Modai to tell stories.
Ever since Mo Mo got into the carriage, he leaned against the window and closed his eyes to sleep, not talking to Mo Dai or Mo Wuqing. Mo Dai didn't understand why Shi Mo came with their family. He looked like a lazy guy. It would take at least three and a half days from Shuiquan Town to Luling Town. The journey was bumpy and tiring, so why did he come here?
Realizing that Modai was looking at him, Mo Mo suddenly opened a slit of his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile: "Why, are you interested in my body? Neck? Clavicle? Or chest and abdominal muscles? As long as you say something, I will immediately Take it off for you!"
Mo Dai's scalp went numb, but she said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm only interested in my husband."
Mo Wuqing was already shocked by Shi Shi's bold speech, but he didn't want Mo Dai's next words to be unreasonable, so he blushed immediately.
Shi Mo chuckled, and then began to look at Mo Wuqing with sharp and aggressive eyes, which made Mo Wuqing feel uncomfortable, and only stared at Mo Dai in annoyance, the bright eyes conveyed a meaning: you provoked him of!
Mo Dai could only comfort him with a smile, then turned to stare at Shi Mo, but Shi Mo looked at her with a half-smile, with a meaning in his eyes: You provoked it all!
Wan Yan, the magistrate of Luling Prefecture, received a message sent to her by Gu Hong Feige this day. When she saw the four lines of poem written on the note, Wan Yan knew that Gu Hong must have deciphered it correctly, and only that person To be able to write such beautiful, touching and sad sentences.
Wan Yan put the note between her lips and kissed it, and immediately took out the silk handkerchief to wipe her mouth after the kiss, and said in her heart that she really miscalculated just now, and she didn't know where Gu Hong cut the note, maybe it was the hut What about the toilet paper inside!
Wan Yan took the note into the study, rushed behind her and said loudly: "Xiao An, grind ink for me!"
So, in less than a moment, Wan Yan wrote four large sheets of paper, and the maid, Xiao An, glanced at it, and immediately got goosebumps all over her body. After holding back and holding back, she finally couldn't hold back, and said kindly: "My lord, Your pages full of gorgeous words of admiration will frighten the prince!"
"Fart! What do you know? This is the true flow of the official's affection, just like the water of the Furong River, flowing endlessly!"
"..."
"Hey, the 18th of next month will be the prince's birthday, I have to prepare well, I can't let that woman Zhao Yingzi take the lead!"
"My lord, are you planning to use these four lines of poems to win the favor of the prince?" Isn't it too rare?
"You still pouted when you said you didn't know it! Just by these four lines of poems, I can get the prince's blue eyes. No one can break it. Only this official knows. This shows that this official and the prince have a sympathetic heart and love!"
"But the county magistrate Gu asked someone to decipher it, maybe Mr. Zhao..."
"Let's go..." Wan Yan sensed the seriousness of the matter before she uttered the word "fart". Xiao An was right, it was Gu Hong who found someone to crack it. Accident!
