It was the middle of winter again, but there was a snowstorm in the south. The emperor was very anxious, and life for his ministers was not easy.
And Mo Jinran's life was really boring, so he asked the emperor personally to go to the disaster relief. In line with the emperor's wishes, Mo Jinran agreed and went south on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. It was approaching the New Year, and the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government were all
I don’t like to go there. After all, the journey is far away. If there is heavy snow and the road is blocked, I won’t be able to come back to celebrate the New Year.
Mo Jinran's request for orders was approved by many ministers in the court, and it was early in the morning when he said this. Gu Hong immediately knelt down and asked for orders, wanting to go with Mo Jinran. Naturally, the emperor did not reject it.
Reason, but Xu Yi’s subsequent request for life was rejected.
"Xu Aiqing, please don't go. It's approaching the end of the year, and there are many things in the Ministry of Rites that need to be carefully considered. You know better than I do. Besides, it's a long way to go, and the Prince Consort and the Ninth Prince are both generals, so naturally it's more suitable."
Xu Yi's heart couldn't help but sink. Doesn't this mean that he is useless? He sighed and had no choice but to obey the Holy Grace.
Mo Jinran glanced at Xu Yi and gave her a comforting look. She knew that Xu Yi wanted to be with her, but she had been in a bad mood for the past three months and she had also ignored Xu Yi. However, she really didn't want to be with her.
I'm happy, I don't want to be with Xu Yi, it just makes him worried.
After retreating from the court, Xu Yi and Mo Jinran walked back together. Xu Yi couldn't help but worry and said to Mo Jinran: "Of course, you should be more careful when you go there!"
"It's okay. I'm not a child anymore. Besides, isn't it much safer here than going to the battlefield?"
"But it's freezing cold here, so you have to take good care of your body! Look at your current body, it's very weak!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you said, I'm fine!" Mo Jinran grinned at Xu Yi, not wanting to admit that he was lovesick.
"Hey, you!" Xu Yi had no choice but to let her go. Xu Yi has a very good temperament and has always been dominated by Mo Jinran. This is somewhat similar to the previous coldness, but he didn't expect the coldness
His stubbornness was so heartbreaking. For three months, he didn't even write a letter.
"Are you still thinking about Mr. Leng? If so, go find him!" Xu Yi said bitterly in his heart. Mo Jinran had never treated him like this before.
"Don't talk nonsense, who said I missed him." Mo Jinran pretended to be indifferent with an attitude of refusing to admit it.
"Okay, okay, I don't miss him anymore, would you like to have dinner at my house today at noon?"
"Okay! Go back early in the evening to say goodbye to your parents!"
"Yeah!" So Mo Jinran sent the boy back to say that he would not return home at noon, and asked Princess Xili to eat by herself, while she went to Xu Yi's home.
Every year when the New Year is approaching in Xu Yi's family, there are not many servants left. Xu Yi has no relatives, but he hopes that other families will be reunited, so those who have families, he will let them take leave early.
The salary was still paid, which resulted in the deserted look of the former Number One Scholar's Mansion.
Mo Jinran couldn't help but worry about him: "If I don't come back during the New Year, you can go to my house to celebrate the New Year and have a lot of fun!"
Xu Yi smiled: "You are not at home, what should I do? But don't worry, I will go see the old general and his wife!"
"Well, thank you in advance, but please help me take care of Princess Xili!"
Xu Yi's expression changed when he heard this. "You have been very concerned about Her Royal Highness recently!"
"What? Are you jealous?" Mo Jinran looked at Xu Yi with a beautiful smile, but this smile had not been shown for a long time. It was so naughty. Xu Yi's heart moved, but he refused to admit it.
"Who's jealous? I'm just reminding you, don't let the princess have any ideas, it will be difficult to deal with it then!" Xu Yi was also jealous, but what he said was reasonable.
"Don't worry, I am free and sensible, but I always feel sorry for Princess Xili!"
"Oh! This is all fate!" Xu Yi sighed. He felt that everything was destined. Mo Jinran was destined to save him, and he was destined to have admiration for Mo Jinran. And Princess Xili was also destined.
It is destined that there is no happiness in the life of a princess. But compared to Princess Fuya who married Yan Ye, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse! At least, in Mo Jinran’s house, there will be no happiness.
Intrigues and jealousies. If the princess who marries far away is not favored, her life may not be as good as that of the slaves!
"When did you start being so sentimental?"
"Haha, it's not sentimental, it's just that we are all mature!"
Xu Yi's words made Mo Jinran sigh. She has matured. It has been a long time since her three-line soul returned to the body. If she had shown her real daughter to others, she would have been married and had children by now. Thinking about it this way, it is better for a female companion to dress as a man.
It's very beneficial. Because among the three souls, the soul that traveled from the 21st century is the main thought, so she doesn't want to get married and have children so early. Then her life will be a foregone conclusion early, what's the point?
Woolen cloth?
Because there were relatively few servants in Xu Yi's house, Mo Jinran and Xu Yi also went to the kitchen to help during lunch. The cook in the house went on vacation, leaving only a maid with no father and mother left to cook on weekdays.
Xu Yi didn't care about home-cooked meals.
But when Mo Jinran came to eat here, he naturally had to spend a lot of money. He sent the concierge to buy a lot of vegetables, and the little maid was really busy for a while.
Mo Jinran stood in the kitchen and could only help with the work of picking vegetables. Today's chef was Xu Yi, and he was also a little in a hurry. Ever since he saw Leng Qing making medicinal meals for Mo Jinran, he had secretly learned
After a while, it finally came in handy today.
But in the past, I only learned to cook by looking at it without actually doing it, so today I couldn't help but start making mistakes.
For example, the fish was over-steamed and no longer as tender as it should be. Another example was that the pork ribs were overcooked, making it very laborious to eat. This made Xu Yi annoyed, and he had happily asked Mo Jinran to come and eat.
, intending to show off his skills, but it was self-defeating.
"Forget it, let's go out to eat!" Xu Yi said to Mo Jinran in annoyance after looking at a table full of people barely swallowing.
"It's very good. I like the chewy ones like this!" Mo Jinran put a piece of ribs into his mouth. Although it was a bit hard, it would be better if he bit it for a while. This was the first time Xu Yi gave it to her.
When cooking, you have to eat it anyway!
Seeing Mo Jinran like this, Xu Yi felt even darker in his heart. "It's all my fault. I can't compare to Mr. Leng. Mr. Leng can do everything perfectly, but I'm not even as good as him!"
"Okay, why do you always mention him?" Mo Jinran suddenly became angry. Princess Xili mentioned it to her yesterday, and Xu Yi mentioned it to her again today. Even if everyone can see it, he can't keep it.
Silence?
The Lengqing thing really made her upset. She was so upset because she didn't know what to do and couldn't afford to go to him.
Xu Yi was startled. He didn't expect Mo Jinran to lose his temper suddenly. Instead, he calmed down. Mo Jinran had been getting into trouble recently, and he needed to remind him. "However, even if you want to be angry, I have to tell you."
Yes! Mr. Leng has been gone for three months. Others are not very clear about the matter between you, so you have to resolve it yourself. But do you just want to be so frozen? Do you want to stay away from each other forever? I obviously like it.
Worrying, caring, and missing, who are you torturing like this? If you are having a hard time, am I going to have a good time? Seeing that you are getting thinner and thinner, not only will I be worried, but even the Ninth Prince will be worried. Not to mention the old general and his wife.
?Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should take good care of yourself for the people who care about you, right? If you really don’t care about Mr. Leng, then you should make it clear and don’t have any contact with him in the future, and don’t worry about him anymore!”
Xu Yi's words surprised Mo Jinran. She didn't expect that he would have so many hands with her. Although every sentence made her feel sad, it was right. And did she really want to have nothing to do with Leng Qing Lao Si? The answer is
No, she doesn’t want it! He and Leng Qing were just quarreling, but three months was a bit long.
This can't be entirely blamed on Mo Jinran, it's just that Leng Qing pampered her too much in the past, which made her start to not know how high the world is. She forgot that Leng Qing can also be hurt and heartbroken.
"Of course, please think carefully. I know you are stubborn and refuse to admit defeat, but think about how Mr. Leng treated you in the past? Starting from your food, clothing, and daily life, Mr. Leng has taken good care of you. Although you and I
We have known each other for the longest time, but it also makes me feel the most guilty. Who else in the world can do this?"
Mo Jinran couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes. Although she missed Leng Qing before, she had been blaming him for not writing to her and blaming him for not pampering her anymore. But she had forgotten how good Leng Qing was before. Xu Yi said this
, filling her mind with the scene of taking care of him indifferently.
She was so moved that Xu Yi learned to cook for her, but Leng Qing did it every day. He did not hesitate to study medicine for her health, and he was in danger many times for her sake. Why did she even lower her head once and write him a letter first?
Why didn't you even believe it? She finally understood that she was wrong after all.
"Xu Yi, thank you, I understand!"
Xu Yi looked at him and smiled bitterly. In fact, he didn't have to say this at all. If Leng Qing and Mo Jinran were separated, he could dominate Mo Jinran by himself. However, he couldn't bear to see Mo Jinran.
Unhappy. But he can tolerate having one more person to love and take care of Mo Jinran. "As long as you understand, we'd better not eat these!"
"No, I want to eat. What I provide is not the rice, but what you want!" Mo Jinran was still in tears, and the corners of his lips were raised. He put the rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls. After a long time, he realized that this was what she had eaten.
The most delicious time. Because she figured it out, she wrote a letter to Leng Qing when she got back. They had their own knots in their hearts and they needed to be solved!
