Chapter 147 Lin Jiao Pretending to Be a Pig and Eating a Tiger
Could it be that in the book Pei Yuan and Liu Qingluan met not in the capital, but in Liangzhou?
Lin Jiao couldn't explain how she felt about Liu Qingluan.
She believed in Pei Yuan's feelings for her, but she was afraid that she would not be able to reverse the original plot in the book, so she still felt a little uneasy.
Although it was not stated explicitly in the letter, the meaning behind the lines was that in order to please Pei Yuan this time, the old emperor not only brought gold and silver to Pei Yuan, but also beautiful women.
And Liu Qingluan is among these beauties.
But it was said in the book that Liu Qingluan was the prime minister's only daughter and was loved by many people. How could she be sent to Liangzhou as a beauty?
On the first day, Wu Mo didn't let Lin Jiao go out.
Lin Jiao talked to Wu Mo several times before Wu Mo agreed to let her walk in the yard.
The yard is not big, with only five rooms, two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a miscellaneous room for storing things.
Although the house was made of blue bricks, it looked like it was quite old. There was a willow tree that had just sprouted in the yard. Looking at the layout and environment, Lin Jiao was basically sure that Wu Mo was taking her to live in the countryside.
But Lin Jiao is not sure yet how far it is from Liangzhou.
But it was only for one night, and Wumo wouldn't take her very far.
"Although spring has begun, it's still a little cool in the yard. You'd better go indoors and rest early."
Wu Mo stood at the door of the kitchen and saw Lin Jiao folding willow branches under the willow tree, and curled his lips in disgust.
Sure enough, only women would like such useless things.
"I see."
Lin Jiao broke a few sprouted wicker sticks and then returned to the house.
Back in the house, Lin Jiao peeled off the skin of the wicker and began to weave something.
Wu Mo came over with the evening meal, looked at the things in Lin Jiao's hands, and frowned.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm making a fortune ball to pray for my husband. I hope his injury can get better soon."
Lin Jiao looked like a good wife and carefully knitted the wicker in her hands.
Lin Jiao made this up. After all, when it comes to establishing a character, you have to do something consistent with the character.
Anyway, Wu Mo is from northern Xinjiang and doesn’t understand the culture of the Central Plains. Even if you lie to him, he won’t understand.
"Fortune ball?"
ha?
Wu Mo really doesn't understand this kind of thing. Such childish stuff has no chance of being useful. Only a woman as stupid as a pig would believe this kind of thing.
"Did you read that letter?"
Umo asked.
Pei Yuan is about to have another woman, and this woman doesn't care?
Don’t they all say that women in the Central Plains are very jealous?
Especially the women in Liangzhou, where the folk customs are open, are like tigresses.
"I saw it."
Lin Jiao nodded, "But what does it say?"
Umo: "...you can't read?"
Then why is she reading the letter?
Crazy?
"Well, I can't read."
Lin Jiao took out the letter and said, "But you asked me to read it, so I read it anyway."
Wu Mo: "..." There is definitely something wrong with this woman's brain.
Pei Yuan was definitely blind, so he treated such a stupid woman as a treasure.
"You are illiterate. How did you read Pei Yuan's letters to you before?"
Umo asked.
"I just let others read it to me."
Lin Jiao put the letter in front of Wu Mo, "There is no one else here, why don't you please read it to me?"
"If it's inconvenient for you, Master, you can go out and find someone you trust to read it to me."
How could Wu Mo go out to help Lin Jiao find someone?
"No, I can read and it will be the same if I read to you."
Wu Mo picked up the letter and looked at Lin Jiao with a gentle smile.
He wanted to see how this woman would react after knowing that Pei Yuan was about to have many women.
"Then thank you, sir."
Lin Jiao nodded gratefully and continued to play with the wicker in her hand.
The soft wicker was really woven into a ball by her, but there was no word "Fu" on it, and it looked very ugly.
Wumo moved his eyes to the letter paper in his hand and began to read the content on it word by word.
There was not much content on this piece of paper, and Wu Mo finished reading it in less than a quarter of an hour.
He was also afraid that Lin Jiao wouldn't understand, so he kindly explained it to her.
"Do you understand the content of this letter?
The emperor lamented Pei Yuan's hard work in guarding Liangzhou, and he repelled the Northern Xinjiang army some time ago, so he specially asked people to bring gold, silver, jewels and beauties to reward him."
"Forget about the rest of the beauties, they are all ordinary things after all, but there is a woman named Liu Qingluan here. She is the only daughter of the prime minister at the time, and she is very delicate."
Lin Jiao stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Wu Mo. The emotion in her eyes was easy to understand. It was an emotion of wanting to be jealous but not daring to be jealous.
"Such a delicate beauty, why did the emperor let her come to Liangzhou?"
Lin Jiao asked softly, with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
Sure enough, Wu Mo knew a lot. He actually knew Liu Qingluan’s identity. Did he also know why Liu Qingluan came back to Liangzhou?
First, let’s talk about this person’s words.
Wu Mo smiled and said: "I don't know very well, but I heard that Miss Liu admires Pei Yuan very much. She was not included in the beauties sent by the emperor this time.
It was she who volunteered to recommend herself to the emperor, saying that she would not marry anyone but Pei Yuan in this life, and the prime minister loved this daughter very much. The prime minister would definitely not refuse her daughter's request, so she begged the emperor, and the emperor agreed. "
It turned out to be so.
"But I haven't heard my husband mention this Miss Liu."
Pei Yuan probably doesn’t know Liu Qingluan yet, right?
"It's not important."
Wu Mo said: "Miss Lin, you have to know that Liu Qingluan is the daughter of the current prime minister. Although the court is in danger now, her identity is still here. She has been trained in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and various rules since she was a child.
Out of all the ladies out there, how do you think you compare with Liu Qingluan?
Men all like beautiful women, but you are not as beautiful as Liu Qingluan. Do you think Pei Yuan will still want you if he has Liu Qingluan?"
"You're talking nonsense, my husband-in-law would never do this to me."
Lin Jiao became anxious and looked at Wu Mo with red eyes.
"My husband-in-law said that he only likes me in this life, and he will not want other women."
"Miss Lin is really naive. If men could be believed, there wouldn't be so many women who have been let down."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wu Mo smiled and left.
It was because he believed in his father that his mother died so miserably in the end.
In this world, the most unbelievable thing is love.
"Bang!"
There was a sound of something being broken in the room, Wu Mo curled up his lips and left without looking back.
Woman, nothing more than that!
Lin Jiao listened to the footsteps outside and walked away, and twitched her lips with a sneer.
This Wumo is really not very good at stirring up dissension.
But regarding Liu Qingluan, she really wanted to ask Pei Yuan what was going on?
