Chapter 68: Secret Message
It was cold and freezing outside, the snow was melting very slowly, and Mo Ruxue was injured. He stayed in the house all day teaching Luluo and Xia He to fight landlords, eating and drinking every day, and unknowingly, his clothes became a little tight...
Five days after Mo Ruxue was beaten, someone from the General Mansion finally came to express condolences.
Mo Ruxue had heard earlier that Mo Zifeng was going to the border for two months, and she didn't know if he had come back. The environment on the border was probably even more difficult this season, so she couldn't help but worry about him.
Mrs. Mo's high-pitched voice was heard from a distance: "My poor daughter, who has been pampered since she was a child, why was she beaten by those who killed her a thousand times?"
Mo Ruxue stroked her forehead, feeling a headache. She asked everyone in Liulicuan to declare to the public that she was sick, but her mother's howl inevitably led to further speculation.
Mrs. Mo walked in and saw her lying on the bed unable to move. She was quite surprised. She didn't expect that she was really injured so seriously!
"Why are you so useless? You are still a princess after all, so how come you were beaten into such a horrible state! It's really embarrassing! Aren't you very powerful when you attack me?"
Mo Ruxue sighed helplessly: "Yes, it is quite embarrassing, so Mrs. Mo, please come back!"
"What mistake did you make? Was it King Luo who beat you? Your father is also a first-class official after all, but King Luo doesn't give us the Mo family face like this?"
Madam Mo sat aside and began to make random guesses. If she hadn't made a big mistake, no one would dare to hit her like this.
"Oh, you...did you do something disgraceful and was discovered by King Luo? I have long told you to give him a few concubines. He is busy dealing with those concubines, so how can he have time to take care of you?
!”
Mo Ruxue gave her a white look: "What disgraceful things can I do! You old man thinks too much."
"I have to talk to your father when I get back. He's not beating you, but the face of our Mo family!"
"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with King Luo, can you please stop getting involved? When I get better, I will tell you when I go back. This matter has something to do with the emperor. You must keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense!
"
Mo Ruxue made a beheading gesture on her neck, which really frightened Mrs. Mo. She nodded frequently.
"By the way, last time I told you that I wanted you to find a job for your brother. How was your inquiry? Your father was completely annoyed. The two fathers and sons didn't speak to each other for a long time."
Mo Ruxue pouted, "Who can appreciate Mo Ziye's virtue!"
I don’t know what standards the Moh family used to train Mo Ziye at that time, but they forced him to become an ignorant, incompetent, and extravagant loser!
Mo Xu is a standard military commander, so naturally he can't stand his lackluster and cowardly look.
Mrs. Mo continued: "With so many civil servant positions in Kyoto, there must be one suitable for him, right? Listen to what your father said about the position of Temple Shaoqing, which is a good one. Why don't you talk to the prince and ask him to help make arrangements."
Mo Ruxue stroked her forehead again and sighed. She really couldn't open her mouth to deal with her brother who had no talent or virtue.
"Mom, I know that there is a position that is particularly suitable for my brother, but it is a bit early for him to take up the position now. Let him practice in the house for a few more years. He will be ready when he is in his forties."
"Oh, I see. What you mean is that he is too young, right? He suddenly takes office and is afraid that others will disapprove of him. What you said makes sense, but with such a strong relationship in our family, do we still need to be afraid of other people's rumors?"
"I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid that my brother won't be able to bear it anymore. My mother also knows his temper."
The last time I saw Mo Ziye crying and moaning over a concubine at the General's Mansion, even Mo Ruxue, a woman, felt ashamed. How could such a baby go out to work?
Mrs. Mo thought for a moment and nodded.
"Forget it, the family doesn't lack his salary anyway, so let him stay for now. You have to pay attention to that position and don't let others take it."
Mo Ruxue smiled brightly: "Don't worry, no one can take it away! When will my brother come back? It's so cold in the frontier."
"He will be back in about half a month. Your father has high expectations for him, and he is pretty good. I heard that he has defeated several provocations from small countries in the Western Region."
Speaking of Mo Zifeng, Mrs. Mo had a look of pride on her face. Fortunately, she had him, otherwise she wouldn't have known how many more concubines Mo Xu would have had. It took her four years to clean up those two bitches.
time.
Mrs. Mo left after not staying long.
As soon as she left, Mo Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief. Kyoto has been a bit too peaceful recently. Daido didn't know if he had returned to the Western Region or was hiding in Kyoto. He was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to give someone a fatal blow at any time.
"Luluo, I want to eat Fumanlou's braised pork elbow. You can ask the waiter to order one. This dish requires a lot of effort. Just ask the waiter to deliver it in the afternoon."
Luluo responded and went out. Xia He's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the pork elbow: "Princess, I have long heard that Fumanlou's braised pork elbow is delicious!"
"Don't worry, I'll let you eat enough this afternoon!"
"Thank you, Princess, hehe!"
Mo Ruxue sometimes feels that the personalities of Xia He and Luo Luo are simply two extremes. She can't say who is better and who is not. They each have their own merits.
In the afternoon, the waiter at Fumanlou delivered two large elbows. As soon as he opened them, the aroma filled the room. The skin of the elbows was bright red and the color was very attractive.
"Xia He, take the elbow to the kitchen and cut it into small pieces before bringing it to me."
Xia He happily prepared to take away the basket as well, but Mo Ruxue stopped her.
"Bring it over on a tray and put the basket there. If you take the basket away, how will you explain it to the shopkeeper when you get back?"
"Yes, the princess is right. I didn't think carefully. Please free up the basket now."
Xia He put a piece of oil paper on the tray, took out the elbow, put it on, and carried it to the kitchen happily.
Mo Ruxue slowly got up from the bed, picked up a letter and hid it in the basket, and handed the basket to the waiter waiting outside the door.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother, get the basket."
As usual, a silver coin was placed in the basket. The waiter thanked him profusely and left happily.
Xia He cut the elbow into small pieces and brought it to Mo Ruxue's room. Mo Ruxue asked Xia He to call Lu Luo and Aunt Zhang over.
It didn't take long for a big elbow to enter the stomachs of four people.
I really couldn’t eat the remaining one, so I left it alone.
When Mei Xiang went to get the charcoal fire, she passed by Liuli Garden and happened to hear the laughter of several people. She thought of the tone of her mother in charge when she went to get the charcoal fire just now. If her mother hadn't stepped forward, the mother in charge would probably not have done anything.
will give it to her.
In the past, everyone was vying to please her, but now when they see her, her nose is not a nose, and her face is not a face, so they just have to blow her away!
The man in the other courtyard looked half-dead every day, sitting under the window all day long lamenting the spring and autumn. He would shed tears for a long time looking at the dead flowers and trees in the yard, and he would always say things she couldn't understand.
Mei Xiang glanced at the entrance of Liulicuan again with envy, and walked towards the other courtyard with heavy steps.
Fumanlou.
Shopkeeper Zhu saw the waiter coming back and greeted him with a smile: "Did you enjoy the meal, Princess? Did you comment on the food?"
As he asked, he calmly took the basket into his hand.
"The princess looked happy, with a smile on her face. She commented, but I didn't hear it..."
The waiter scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't think about it at all.
"It's okay, you go down first!"
The waiter quickly ran away.
Shopkeeper Zhu took the basket to the back room, took out the oil paper on the surface, and took out a letter from the sandwich inside.
"Ask Ouyang Xun to find out the contact information of the Tiandi Alliance. I need their help with something important."
There was only this sentence on the letter. Shopkeeper Zhu put it in his arms after reading it.
"Heaven and Earth Alliance..."
Shopkeeper Zhu stood alone in the room deep in thought. He had heard of this organization, but he was a businessman and had never had anything to do with such a person who licked blood from the edge of a knife.
Tiandi Alliance - the legendary mysterious intelligence organization. There is nothing they don't know. As long as the price is reasonable, any kind of information can be purchased.
They also take on tasks from various buyers, but they have a rule that they only kill the most evil people.
Shopkeeper Zhu came to Quanfu Liang Store. There were not many people on the street in the winter.
Ouyang Xun invited shopkeeper Zhu into the inner room. There was a charcoal fire burning in the inner room, which was as warm as spring.
"Master Qiyue sent a letter to Brother Ouyang."
Shopkeeper Zhu showed the letter to Ouyang Xun. After reading it, Ouyang Xun threw it into the charcoal fire.
"Brother Ouyang, do you know anyone from the Heaven and Earth Alliance?"
"I know a businessman, maybe I can find out more about it through him, but this organization usually has its beginnings but not its end, so we may not be able to find it. I'll give it a try first!"
"Brother Ouyang, you must pay attention to safety. What happened last time has made me scared."
"Don't worry, I've already added more people to the nursing home, and I've selected all the elites."
Shopkeeper Zhu sat for a while and then left. Ouyang Xun looked at the four or five nurses standing outside the door in a daze. The people in the Western Regions are evil-minded. The long winter is coming, and maybe what happened last time will happen again.
Mo Ruxue came to save him personally last time, which moved him very much. He wanted to take this opportunity to express his feelings to her, but when he saw the man beside her, he knew that he had no chance.
He heard that the man was a prince, with a noble status and a handsome appearance. He stood with her like a beautiful woman, and they were already married. He could only bury his thoughts in his heart.
