Chapter 400

The old lady couldn't hear the rest. She had only one thought in her mind: stop it, stop it immediately!

As a daughter of the Mo family, Xiao Jiu's future husband must treat her wholeheartedly and never take concubines. The Emperor himself broke the law of monogamy established by the Kaiyuan female emperor, and took in several concubines, which caused so many terrible things. In the future, he will inevitably take concubines for the princes. Such a family, not to mention the royal family, is an ordinary family, and Xiaojiu is absolutely impossible to marry!

The old lady sent off the Duke and wife of Dongping County on the ground that she wanted to discuss with her family. After thinking about it, she called the big servant girl and said, "go to Xiaowu yard and tell Xiaowu his daughter-in-law. If Xiaowu comes back, let him come to me immediately. I have something urgent to discuss with him."

The big servant girl goes to Mo Pingchu's yard to tell Wu Shulan what the old lady told her. When it's dark, Mo Pingchu comes back to the house with fatigue. Before he can change her clothes, she hears Wu Shulan say that the old lady has something urgent to discuss with him. She's so surprised that she rushes by.

In the old lady's house, Xiao Jiu is feeding the old lady with porridge. Since the old man was buried, Xiao Jiu has been living in the old lady's house. I sleep with the old lady every day, talk with the old lady every day, bring tea, pour water, dress and comb my hair for the old lady, as if I want to compensate the old lady for all the filial piety I owe him.

Everyone in the Mo family knows that Xiaojiu has a heart knot with the old man's death. Especially the old lady knows that Xiaojiu must have a lot of regret for the old man's sudden departure, so she pretends not to know and lets Xiaojiu clumsily serve her, just to slowly ease her heart knot.

When Mo Pingchu came in, he saw Xiao Jiu's clumsy and attentive behavior of feeding porridge to the old lady. Looking at Xiao Jiu's clumsy and attentive behavior and the old lady's full cooperation, Mo Pingchu's eyes turned red.

Mo Pingchu waved his hand to the maid in front of the door. Instead of going directly into the room, he took a deep breath by the door. After calming down, he walked in with a relaxed smile and joked: "Xiao Jiu is really grown up and can serve his grandmother to drink porridge."

The old lady said with a smile: "not only serve me with porridge, bring me tea and peel walnuts for me, Xiao Wu, you see, Xiao Jiu peels all the walnuts for me. Just now I said that if I have enough walnuts, I will start peeling almonds for me tomorrow. "

Mo Pingchu pretended to be discontented and glared at little nine and said, "brother five treats you well on weekdays. Why don't you peel a walnut for brother five? When I was a child, brother five ran around with you all day long. I was so tired that I couldn't bear to let you walk a step more for fear that you might fall."

"Small nine Du mouth way:" that is you know if I fell knock, grandfather will punish you just like this

"You have no conscience. It's brother five. I love you. Do you know?" Mo Pingchu made an effort to poke Xiaojiu's forehead. Xiaojiu hid and yelled to the old lady, "grandma, look at brother five. It's time to spill the porridge."

The old lady waved her hand to Mo Pingchu with a busy smile and said, "well, stop it, stop it soon. I want to have porridge."

Small nine elated Chong Mo Pingchu spit out his tongue, continue to carefully feed the old lady porridge, the old lady finished porridge, small nine will get up to leave the guardian to cook medicine.

Mo Pingchu then asked, "what's grandma's urgent matter to discuss with me?"

The old lady hurriedly told Mo Pingchu what the second prince and the third princess had said when they came to visit, and what the Duke's wife of Dongping County said today. After hearing this, Mo Pingchu frowned and thought for a long time, suddenly slapped his thigh heavily and said in a deep voice, "no wonder, no wonder!"

The old lady asked, "no wonder what?"

Mo Pingchu was a little depressed and said, "a few days ago, the emperor suddenly asked me about my father. He also asked me about his father's character. What would he do if he had to give him an official position? At that time, I felt puzzled and said that my father had vowed in front of my grandfather that he would never be an official all his life. He would not break this promise anyway. The emperor did not ask again, but I saw that he looked as if he was still thinking about it, so I was puzzled, but I didn't think about it“ Today, when my grandmother said that, I suddenly realized that if the emperor really wanted Xiao Jiu to be the second prince and concubine, his father's identity was really not suitable. How could he be a merchant? So the emperor thought about how to let dad accept the official title

The old lady couldn't help but be impatient when she heard this. She said in a busy voice: "don't let Xiao Jiu be the imperial concubine. Your grandfather will never agree to let Xiao Jiu into the palace. If the emperor really has such a plan, why don't we give Xiao Jiu Xu to a Rui now, so that the emperor can't have this idea again."

Mo Pingchu said with a bitter smile: "grandmother, if the emperor insists on this, does the Duke of Dongping dare to rob people from the emperor?"

"What should we do?" The old lady was worried, and her face was very ugly.

Mo Pingchu comforted him with a warm voice: "grandma, don't worry. The Emperor just had this idea. After all, our Mo family now holds nearly half of the troops of Daxia. I'm the youngest Minister of the Ministry of war in history. If the emperor wants to find a loyal helper for the second prince in the future, our Mo family is really suitable. Xiaojiu is the only daughter of our two generations. She is the apple of the eye of the Mo family. Whoever marries her is equivalent to mastering the Mo family. As a king, it is perfectly normal for the second prince to marry Xiaojiu under the balance of interests. "

The old lady sighed with dismay: "our kindness to Xiao Jiu has harmed her!"

Mo Pingchu shook his head and said, "grandma, don't say that. No one can hurt Xiaojiu, and I won't let anyone hurt Xiaojiu. Grandfather died less than a hundred days, the emperor is moved this idea, don't worry too much, he can't force us to agree to the marriage when grandfather's body is not cold, so spread out, how should he be king? And the emperor is to discuss with people, will not make a big fuss, only secret. As long as the emperor doesn't give us an order, we can take it as if we don't know. No matter who says it or who spreads it, we don't recognize it. There will be room for it. "

The old lady nodded and said, "what you said is reasonable, but we can't delay it all the time. As long as the emperor has this idea, he will make an order one day. In my opinion, it's better to make a marriage decision for Xiao Jiu earlier, so that the emperor can't think about it any more. Ah Rui grew up with Xiao Jiu from childhood. He is obedient to Xiao Jiu and has a warm disposition. He knows the root and the bottom of the matter. I think it's very good. "

Mo Pingchu sighed with disapproval: "grandma, ah Rui is very kind to Xiao Jiu, but now it's not the time to talk about it. Our family is in the process of filial piety. We can't make a ceremony or engagement. At most, we can exchange Geng tie in private and make a verbal engagement. It's easy for the emperor to destroy this verbal engagement."
