The night passed.

Bai He and Green Ju didn't sleep well last night, Mo Zi seemed to be able to hear whispers in the haze, worried about Qiu Sanniang's affairs, so the two of them didn't fall asleep until the sky was slightly gray.

Afraid of waking them up, Mo Zi got up lightly.No matter who is on duty this morning, she wants to take over.I can understand their concerns.It's not the worry of one person gaining enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, nor is it the idea that one person will be prosperous and one will lose all. Baihe and Luju sincerely hope that their good girl can find a good husband who will cherish her for the rest of her life.But they have been away with Qiu Sanniang for many years, what they saw and heard made them no longer naive.But at least, hope was not completely lost.If you choose the third son of Prince Jing's Mansion, this expectation is a bit far away.

Mo Zi walked out of the house, turned around and was about to go to Qiu Sanniang's place, but saw a person sitting on the stone chair beside Canna.

Her black hair hangs loose on her apricot coat, her fair complexion is almost transparent in the sunrise cloud light, her cheeks are resting on her hands, she looks like a rare daughter who is worried.

Mo Zi looked at Qiu Sanniang from the porch, so what if she was born rich, in this world of marriage, the richer the woman, the happier she is.Polygamy is destined to only share one person's love and affection with other women.

After brewing a new pot of tea, Mo Zi gently placed the tray on the stone table.Holding the pot with both hands, poured out a cup of clear green, stood aside, and waited quietly.The bright eyes of a woman who seems to be as free and easy as Huo are also dimmed by the uncertainty of her marriage.

"Mo Zi, sit down." Qiu Sanniang picked up the teacup and took two sips slowly, "It's really comfortable."

Mo Zi sat down as she said, "Girl, I told you not to be influenced by my words, the most important thing is your own decision."

"My decision?" Qiu Sanniang's tone was fragile, "Do I still have a choice now? I don't have to choose King Jing's Mansion, then my good mother can just find a lowly man and marry me back. The whole Qiu family has fallen out, an old girl who refuses to marry, really dragged down the girls of you, living with me and being looked down upon by others?"

Nothing Mo Zi said was wrong.The status of a woman is more useful than that of a girl.It is better to marry the third son of Prince Jing's mansion than to marry a man who doesn't know the details.The big deal is not to fight for what's inside, but for what's outside.In the worst case, I will wait out the church and live independently.Originally, she didn't have much hope for her future husband.The wholehearted expectation has long been forgotten.

"I've figured it out, it's just—" I felt more desolate in my heart.

"Girl, I understand." Anyway, Qiu Sanniang is a girl.The daughter is naturally in love, and the coldness comes after the love. "But you don't have to be too pessimistic. It doesn't matter whether it's the concubine named Jinsi, the third son, or the Palace of King Jing. If we really compete, we won't necessarily lose."

Qiu Sanniang stood up abruptly, walked back and forth in front of Mo Zi a few times, and suddenly laughed lightly, "Yes, I was confused. This battle has not been fought yet, so I can't admit defeat first. If I do that, it will be with Liu Niang Seems cowardly."

"The girl is right." Moreover, Mo Zi thinks that as long as Qiu Sanniang maintains her hobby of making money, the jealousy of the women in the back house will be boring and not worth mentioning.

However, she didn't say this, so that Qiu Sanniang would not be too proud and relax, and it would be hard not to torment her.

"Mo Zi, no matter how I look at it, you have to prepare the 300 taels." Qiu Sanniang regained her usual shrewdness, as if weakness was just an illusion in the morning light.

"Don't worry, girl, Mo Zi will definitely abide by the agreement. The day when girl leaves for Shangdu is when Mo Zi will offer matchmaking money to Ci Nian Nunnery." It's easy to say, but I don't know what to do. Fatty.

"I said before, I've always been at ease when you handle things." Qiu Sanniang used Mo Zi's abilities and talents boldly.

At the same time, Qiu Sanniang also kept one hand, which was to tightly fasten Mo Zi's purse.It's because if she were to change herself, I'm afraid she would leave as long as she had some private money.Otherwise, why did she never think of letting Baihe and Green Chrysanthemum Xiaoyi pay 300 taels.

Qiu Sanniang reached out to take the teapot, Jieyu's wrist drooped, and she poured a cup of tea for Mo Zi.

Mo Zi watched Qiu Sanniang bring the cup over, and she couldn't underestimate this move.Qiu Sanniang may not need the maids to wait on the details of dressing and bathing, but it doesn't mean that she will take the initiative to pour tea for the girls.It's not the high-level concern for major matters such as marriage, but the little things in trivial matters, to give people a sense of equality.This is the difference between Qiu Sanniang and ordinary daughters.As long as she puts her mind to it, she can make the simple-minded girls feel completely overwhelmed by her.

Who has ever seen a lady pour tea for a girl?It's such a small matter, but it has to make a normally noble person lower his posture.Qiu Sanniang can do it, because she knows how to conquer people's hearts because of her insights from traveling all over the world.

From the very beginning, Mo Zi "worked" for Qiu Sanniang with the mentality of a migrant worker, but it was also because she was such a master that she made herself a living by her side, and gradually gave up the idea of ​​running away directly, and turned to seek a better life. way.

Mo Zi thanked her, holding the teacup firmly with her slender fingers, and drank the tea calmly, without any humble uneasiness.

Qiu Sanniang saw it, smiled, and also took tea to drink.

"Girl...morning." A hurried and restless voice came from the corridor, and Luju ran out in a panic.

"Mo Zi, why didn't you call us?" Bai He felt a little embarrassed, it was the first time she went to bed late after serving Qiu Sanniang all these years.

"Girl, the two of them stayed up all night worrying, so I'm just going to take their place." Mo Zi knew when to joke and when to reply seriously.

"Worry about it!" Qiu Sanniang said angrily, the sparkle in her eyes folded again and again, which is no longer to be underestimated, "Bai He, help the chef in the nunnery and cook some fresh and colorful vegetarian dishes for the guests in Shangdu to taste." Your workmanship. Luju combs my hair for me, and I am going to see Mrs. Wei. Mozi, after you finish breakfast, bring me the account book of Wangqiulou, and just come back before dinner. Xiaoyi—"

At first everyone thought that Xiaoyi was not in the courtyard, but when Qiu Sanniang called her name, Xiaoyi jumped off the roof and landed right in front of Luju, so frightened that Luju called out.

"Xiaoyi, go back to the mansion to find out." Qiu Sanniang waved her hand.

With an order, everyone took the order and went.It's really Qiu Sanniang's good fortune that a girl is worth three.

At dusk, Mo Zi changed into women's clothes and came back, and saw Bai He was cutting bamboo leaves in the yard.

"So idle?" She walked over and saw that the leaves had turned into flowers, "Is the girl in the house?" After speaking, she was about to go into the house.

Bai He grabbed her tightly, "Don't go now, the girl is sulking."

"What's wrong?" Mo Zi naturally thought of Wei Shi, "Could it be that what did that aunt say?"

"When we had dinner together this morning, we were chatting and laughing with our girl. After we finished our meal, we went for a walk together, but after talking for a while, it suddenly fell silent. The girl spoke a few times, but Mrs. Wei was strangely cold. Seeing that it's boring to follow, Miss, she returned early." Bai He always wanted to sigh in the past two days, "It made my heart flutter, and I don't know how to persuade me."

"What did the girl say to Mrs. Wei?" It must be that there is something wrong with the content of the speech.

"Just talk about what happened at home in the past six months. I hear it very well." Bai He didn't think there was a problem.

Why is that?
