It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother - Chapter 116
Seeing that Mo Dai didn’t speak, she seemed to be entangled with Guan Xuan’s words, Zhao Yingzi couldn’t help saying: “Xiao Daidai, I guess someone will come to the door soon, you should hide as soon as possible!”
hide? She thought about hiding, but if the other party wants to find her, it’s useless to hide!
It’s just that this place is not as developed as modern technology. The world is so big that it is not easy to find someone who looks like her, and it is done in secret. She thinks she doesn’t have much limelight, so why was she discovered? Could it be the big portraits painted by the foreigners before? No, at that time Zhao Yingzi hadn’t come yet?
Thinking of this, Mo Dai gave Zhao Yingzi a fierce gouging look, as soon as she came, nothing good would happen! Zhao Yingzi seemed to understand the meaning in Mo Dai’s eyes, and smiled shamelessly.
“Sister, don’t you suspect that I leaked the secret?” Guan Xuan looked at Mo Dai with a dark look.
“If you leaked the secret, your mother would have known about it long ago.” Mo Dai said lightly.
Hearing this, Guan Xuan’s eyes lit up, and there was a hint of warmth in his heart.
Although Modai strongly denied that she was his second imperial sister, he believed that she was the baby girl who was smuggled out of the palace by the traitor back then. Because she looks too much like the elder sister, no, it should be said that she is too much like the empress, with every frown and smile, but the empress’s eyes are ruthless and indifferent, while hers are clean and warm. Because of this, the first time he saw her, he felt hopeful and decided to follow her.
“Did you get someone to do a portrait for you?” Guan Xuan asked.
The corner of Mo Dai’s mouth twitched. A few days ago, she and Xiao Sheng had indeed asked a woman who looked like a scholar to help with the portrait.
“That person is my senior sister. Her martial arts are not as good as mine, but her memory is excellent, she has a good photographic memory, and she is good at drawing portraits and changing faces. She is especially good at lightness kung fu. It can be said that so far, I have never seen anyone better than her lightness kung fu.”
“In other words, your empress already knows about my existence?”
“yes.”
Mo Dai suddenly wanted to scold someone: “Tsk, if I don’t go to Qiong Country to be a dead ghost, what can she do to me?”
Zhao Yingzi laughed out loud: “Xiao Daidai, actually it’s not bad for you to be an imperial concubine, and you can marry Xiao Qing’er, and only if you marry Xiao Qing’er can I give up, otherwise, I will not be reconciled to death! “
“Didn’t you say that the empress dotes on the first prince very much? Then how can she be willing to marry the first prince to a foreign country?”
“The empress is the empress, who let Xiao Qing’er be born in the emperor’s family?”
Maude fell silent.
“Sister, don’t be afraid, when you arrive in Qiongguo, I will definitely protect you!” Guan Xuan said suddenly.
Modai shook her head: “Who said I’m going to Qiongguo? I won’t go, I still have a family to support, whoever wants to go! Since it’s looking for someone who looks like me, it doesn’t have to be me! And , isn’t your senior sister good at disguises, just find someone who is easy to disguise and look like your eldest sister! I have nothing else to do, I’m going back to my room to sleep, you guys should rest early too!”
After speaking, Mo Dai stood up and left the gazebo.
Zhao Yingzi, Guan Xuan and Lie who had not spoken all this time looked at each other, and there was a meaning conveyed in their eyes, Mo Dai thought too simply!
What the queen of a country wants to do has always been inevitable. Since Guan Xuan can recognize her at first glance as the second princess who was lost in Qiong country, how could the queen of Qiong country not think of it? This time, Modai has decided to be the Queen of Qiong Kingdom!
When Mo Dai returned to the backyard, she wanted to go directly to her room, but after thinking about it, she knocked on Shi Mo’s door, then raised her hand, and the door was pulled open, Mo Dai stretched out her hand and pulled her into his arms, closing the door and unbarring it.
“You really didn’t lie to me this time, I trust you, and I will let you round and flatten me in the future!” Shi Mo buried his face in her hair, took a deep breath, and felt infinitely happy in his heart.
Mo Dai’s mood was a little depressed, in fact, she already thought that she couldn’t escape this time, what she was worried about now was that she would go to Qiong Kingdom to become a substitute princess, what would happen to her family? From the bottom of her heart, she didn’t want them to follow her to live in the palace. Although she had never experienced the feeling of living in the palace, she had watched TV dramas in her previous life, and she could probably imagine the situation when she entered the palace.
“What’s the matter?” Shi Mo noticed that Modai seemed to have no energy after going out for a trip.
Modai shook her head, put her arms around his waist, and pressed her face against his chest: “It’s nothing, let’s rest!”
Shi Mo didn’t want to be perfunctory by her, after several times of questioning, Mo Dai told the news brought by Zhao Yingzi and Guan Xuan. Shi Mo frowned after hearing this, sighed after a long time, and said with a smile: “It turns out that our wife is the princess of Qiong Kingdom, no wonder you are different from the village women in the countryside. When I first met you, I felt You have an innate dignity and dignity that ordinary people don’t have!”
“I’m worrying, are you still joking?” Mo Dai rolled her eyes at Shi Mo.
Shi Mo kissed her eyes, and said in a serious tone that he had never had before: “What are you worried about? As long as you are determined not to give up on us! There is no difficult problem in this world that cannot be solved. Don’t you have to carry everything by yourself. , don’t underestimate us, we can also share your worries for you!”
Mo Dai was moved, she pulled down his neck and kissed the corner of his lips, and said in relief: “You are right, let’s wait and see what happens, soldiers will block you, water will cover you!”
“Wife master, you have to protect her, she will be afraid!” Shi Mo’s mouth curled up into a wicked smile, his eyes gleamed with aggression brightly and darkly, but what he said made people laugh and cry.
Mo Dai was in a good mood, and cooperated with him for the first time: “Don’t be afraid, my husband, with me here, no one dares to bully you!”
“Wife master…”
“My husband…”
Looking at each other, Shi Mo’s eyes became darker and more dangerous, like a cheetah peeping at its prey, Mo Dai finally couldn’t hold it back, and burst into laughter.
Shi Mo picked her up and walked towards the bed. It was almost midnight, but their night had just begun.
At Chenshi the next day, Zhao Yingzi saw Qiongqing, she was so amazed by his peerless face that she was speechless, her eyes showed deep obsession. Suddenly she was annoyed by the queen’s decision. Although she had been rude to Qiongqing before, she really liked him. He is like the ice lotus on the top, although she looked up to him like many admirers, but in fact she always wanted to pick him up and take him as her own.
But it’s impossible now, unless she doesn’t want her current identity and snatches him to her side regardless of the safety of her prime minister wife, and from then on, she will live a fugitive life of wandering and being hunted.
Zhao Yingzi was sad, and her heart throbbed every inch of her.
Lie noticed that something was wrong with his master’s face, and stepped forward to remind her a few words. Zhao Yingzi regained consciousness in an instant, restored her unrestrained smile again, and told Qiongqing the news she had received.
Zhao Yingzi originally thought that Qiongqing would be hit hard, but he didn’t, as if he had expected it long ago, and didn’t react too much, but the enamel immediately turned red around her eyes, and tears flowed down her face.
How could this be? He originally thought that the young master could be in love with Miss Mo, and when the young master married Miss Mo, he could also stay. Both he and the young master liked the plain and warm life here.
“Ceramic, clean up, we will go back to the palace with Commander Zhao.” Qiongqing said calmly.
Zizi raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, responded respectfully, and resigned to her fate to pack her things. Actually, there was nothing to tidy up, just two sets of laundry.
When Ciena helped Qiongqing sit in the carriage and put down the curtain, Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi cried like tears. Mo Dai’s expression was complicated, she couldn’t say anything, Shi Mo, who knew the inside story, watched the carriage leave, her eyes were bottomless, she didn’t know what he was thinking.
Inside the carriage, Ciena was crying silently. Although the Modai family had prepared a lot of food for them again, he was not happy at all.
“My lord, aren’t you sad? You are obviously happy…”
“Ceramic glaze.” Qiongqing interrupted Cigla, “Eat a snack when you’re hungry.”
Ciena held back his voice, he just had breakfast, how could he be hungry? Since the young master did not let him speak, he did not speak.
Sitting side by side with Lie, Zhao Yingzi also had mixed feelings in her heart.
“Master, would you like to keep Guan Xuan at Ms. Mo’s house?” Lie asked, Guan Xuan was their captive, but the master did not intend to reveal his identity, and the poison that was fed to him before was also antidote.
“That’s his sister, isn’t it?” Zhao Yingzi said indifferently.
“Can…”
“He won’t harm Xiao Daidai, you can see that too, can’t you?”
“This subordinate is saying…”
“Business? Your master, I have my own measure!”
Lie stopped talking and concentrated on driving.
It has been raining for a few days after Qiongqing left, it was cold and damp, and people’s mood was also depressed.
However, apart from the fact that Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi were a little unhappy on the day after Qiongqing left, they forgot about it the next day. They happily ran around with Maru Niu in the corridor chasing the cloth ball, and the adults were all so cold. They straightened their necks, but their little hands were warm, and their little faces were flushed.
Guan Xuan seemed to regard himself as Modai’s personal bodyguard. Wherever there is Modai, he must be there. It’s okay in the house, but once Modai goes out, he will follow him inseparably.
Mo You was very tasty, but he could only stare at him fiercely, who made himself inferior to others?
Except for Shi Mo, Mo Dai did not inform others that she was unfortunate enough to be locked up by the Queen of Qiongguo as a double princess, but Guan Xuan’s abnormal behavior made the family somewhat uneasy, especially Xu Shaolin, who watched Guan Xuan and With Mo Dai’s similar face, thinking about the possibility that her daughter, whom she has worked so hard to raise, might be accepted by her own parents, this feeling is too uncomfortable.
Mo Dai sensed Xu Shaolin’s uneasiness, so she stayed by his side when she had nothing to do on weekdays, thinking of ways to make him laugh, such as reading, and after dinner, the whole family sat around the table in the dining room and listened to her with their sleeves folded. A small charcoal stove is burning in the dining room, and hot milk tea is placed on the dining table, warming the cold away from the door.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather cleared up, and the sun shone into the yard, as if dispelling the haze in the hearts of the whole family, and it suddenly became brighter.
In the previous life, Laba porridge was eaten on this day. However, there are very few solar terms here, except that the New Year will be more grand, there is no Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, let alone Laba. Modai didn’t notice this before, and because he was so focused on making money, there was no Dragon Boat Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that life is better, she feels that it is necessary to have a special festival from time to time to adjust the unchanging life, so Mo Dai decided to celebrate Laba and cook Laba porridge.
Mo Dai checked the ingredients at home and felt that they were not enough, so she went out to buy, Guan Xuan followed her as usual. Mo Dai went to the grocery store and bought some red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, red beans, almonds, longan, etc. and came back.
At noon, she made a pot of Laba porridge. The porridge was thick and thick, and the red and white colors looked good, and it tasted smooth and refreshing in the mouth. Xiao Xiao didn’t come back to eat, so Modai specially left a large bowl warm in the pot for her.
At the time of You, the sky had already darkened, and the cold wind was blowing on people’s faces, and pedestrians in twos and threes on the street shrank their necks and sleeves and hurried past.
In the inn, Xiao Xiao still had two pieces of honey bean shortbread that were not sold out. Shopkeeper Chou had been watching, but he just refused to pay for it. For her stinginess, Xiao Xiao was no stranger to it.
“Shopkeeper Qiu, I’ll give you these two snacks!” Xiao Xiao was in a good mood today and decided to be generous.
Shopkeeper Chou was a little flattered, he rolled his sleeves and raised his eyebrows to look at her: “There is nothing to be courteous about, it’s either adultery or robbery!”
Xiao Xiao laughed angrily: “Would you like to eat it or not? If you don’t, I’ll take it home for a dental festival. I’m back, see you tomorrow morning!” Xiao Xiao said, picking up the two pieces of snacks and putting them in the bamboo basket behind his back , lifted his foot out of the gate.
“Hey, you said you’d give me something to eat, how can you say nothing?” Shopkeeper Chou chased after him, tiptoed to take out the two pieces of snacks from Xiao Xiao’s back basket, and took a bite with a smile.
“Tch!” Xiao Xiao couldn’t understand how she was so greedy for cheap, a gust of cold wind hit, she subconsciously gathered her clothes, and walked home against the cold wind of shaving her face.
The shopkeeper Qiu got a bargain, and he didn’t forget to care about Xiao Xiao: “A Xiao, walk slowly, it’s dark, be careful of the muddy water under your feet!”
Xiao Xiao snorted, miser!
Xiao Xiao’s stomach was a little hungry, thinking of the hot meals prepared by Xiao Sheng or Mo Dai at home, warmed his heart, and accelerated his pace.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and when she turned a corner, she was the only one left on the whole road, with the wind whistling in her ears, and the bare tree branches on both sides swaying in the wind. Suddenly a white shadow flashed past her eyes, her heart skipped a beat, her footsteps subconsciously stopped, her eyes glanced left and right, and then looked behind her, until a cat meow came, and she Only then reached out and patted her chest, daddy, you scared her to death!
Xiao Xiao raised his foot and continued to move forward, but when he took the first step, he tripped over something, and his body fell forward uncontrollably, right on top of the thing, followed by a muffled sound. hum.
Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he was stunned, but he forgot to get up immediately, until a child’s voice came from under him: “Oh, it hurts me to death!”
Xiao Xiao got up quickly, and then saw a boy whose height only reached her waist, yes, it was a boy, and a bald boy stood up from the ground, blinking a pair of eyes that seemed to be shining brightly in the dark. Meimou looked at her.
Xiao Xiao hastily apologized: “I’m sorry, young master, I didn’t mean to overwhelm you, do you have any discomfort?”
The boy moved his lips: “I, I…” Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and passed out.
Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded, she has pushed other people’s children out of trouble, what should I do? At this time, a white shadow passed her sight again, stopped beside the boy, and meowed around him.
Xiao Xiao understood, thinking that the white cat was raised by the boy, the boy fainted, but the white cat never left, how touching it is!
When Mo You opened the door, what he saw was Xiao Xiao holding a bald boy in his arms and a white cat sitting on his shoulder: “Sister Xiao, you are…” Mo You was a little surprised.
“Close the door quickly, and I’ll explain in the backyard!” Xiao Xiao walked quickly towards the backyard with the boy in his arms.
When Xiao Xiao carried the boy into the dining room, the whole family looked at her in surprise, and the boy in her arms woke up the moment he smelled the aroma of the food, and struggled to get out of Xiao Xiao’s arms, while the white cat He also jumped off Xiao Xiao’s shoulder and stood at the boy’s feet.
Looking at the lights in the corridor and the lights lit in the dining room, Mo Dai could see clearly that the boy was wearing a gray long coat, cloth shoes, and his head was bare, but his face was extremely beautiful, especially his eyes, which were like jet black jade. Kneaded into thousands of stars, the streamer is bright and dazzling, his skin is fair, there is still a little baby fat on his face, his nose is upturned, and his mouth is small.
“I’m hungry, I don’t know if I can eat with you?” The boy’s strange words made the whole family get goosebumps.
Mo Dai’s first reaction was that the child was a young monk, but he didn’t have a scar on his head, and there seemed to be no monks in this world. Where did this kid come from?
Seeing Mo Dai’s family staring at him blankly, the boy thought they didn’t understand what he said, so he frowned, as if thinking about something, and said it again after a while: “I’m hungry, can I Food?” He pointed to the bowl of rice in front of Shi Mo who was closest to him. The white cat following him also meowed twice.
A quarter of an hour later, the boy was full and drank a cup of milk tea with great enjoyment. And Xiao Xiao also explained the ins and outs of the matter.
“What’s your name? Where did you come from?” Maud asked.
Hearing Mo Dai’s question, the boy looked straight at Mo Dai, paused for a second, and then replied: “My name is Guiyi, and I come from Wu Kingdom. I am here to bring you back to my tribe. , save my people from the drought!”
Hearing this, Mo Dai’s scalp went numb: “You are the wizard master of the witch tribe? How did you look like this?” Those foreigners were all honey-colored, with deep-set eyes and tall stature, and the child in front of him Obviously native residents.
Gui Yi was a little annoyed when he heard this: “Are you dissatisfied with my appearance?”
Could he be wrong? He had done research when he came here, and he knew that women in Yunguo like fair-skinned, thin-skinned men. In order to please her, he deliberately dressed up like this, just to make his skin fairer. A lot of medicine, the result is all hair fell out.
Modai nodded: “Young man, you can go back wherever you came from. In short, I will not go back to any tribe with you!”
“You, you don’t like me?” Seeing Mo Dai’s indifferent rebuff, Gui Yi suddenly felt his face was ashamed, tears quickly accumulated in his eyes, and then big tears fell straight down.
The corners of Mo Dai’s mouth twitched, she never expected that the wizard in those foreign populations was actually a little baby, or such a thin-skinned little baby, this is so weird!
Xu Shaolin didn’t understand what was going on, seeing Gui Yi crying miserably, he began to sympathize with him, so he tugged on Mo Dai’s sleeve and whispered: “Mo Dai, this is just a child, you Why is your tone so cold?”
“Father, don’t be fooled by him, he is very capable, he is a wizard, maybe he was originally an adult, but he changed into a child in order to win our sympathy!” She also felt that it was too unreal and impossible for an adult to become a child, but she really wanted to drive this child out, she had enough things to do, and she didn’t want to involve another wizard.
“You lie, I’m only twelve years old!” Gui Yi glared at Mo Dai angrily, this woman is so hateful, he originally wanted to seduce her to be his wife, but now it seems that he has to reconsider.
Mo You walked up to Gui Yi, compared him, found that Gui Yi had one on his chest, covered his mouth and laughed, he is also twelve, and will be thirteen in Chinese New Year.
Guiyi sensed Mo You’s actions, raised his head and glared at him: “I know you laugh that I am not as tall as you!”
Seeing his stare, Mo You laughed even harder, and even reached out to touch Gui Yi’s bald head, Gui Yi was furious, his fair face was flushed, he closed his eyes suddenly, his small mouth wriggled as if muttering something.
Mo Dai was startled, the so-called would rather believe what he has than believe what he doesn’t, since Gui Yi is a wizard, he must have some skills, Mo You laughed too much, it would be bad if he suffered from Gui Yi’s hatred.
Mo Dai suddenly shouted: “Gui Yi, your saliva is drooling!”
Gui Yi was taken aback, opened his eyes hastily, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, his little face was dazed, looking cute and cute, the whole family burst out laughing.
Gui Yi hated Modai to death, led his cat out of the dining room, sat on the bench in the corridor, sulked.
Maru Niu also panted and laughed: Woman, do you want to marry this boy? Although it is a little small, but after a few years of raising it, it will grow up, hehehe…
Modai gave Maru Niu a sideways look: Your spiritual water is still waiting for you to go back and get married!
Maru Niu shook, and then gave Mo Dai a hard look: Damn woman, I hate you! snort!
During the night break, Xu Shaolin felt that Gui Yi was still a child after all, so he arranged for him to share a room with Mo You and asked Mo You to take care of him. Mo You’s face collapsed in an instant, and she begged for help from Mo Dai pitifully. He didn’t want to sleep with a strange child, and this child and his cat seemed weird.
Mo Dai was also worried that Gui Yi would do something weird, so she asked Guan Xuan to stay in a room with Mo You. Fortunately, the bed in the room was big enough to accommodate three and a half children.
When he heard that Guan Xuan was going to live with him, Mo You’s face became even more stinky, but he understood that it was specially arranged by Modai for his own good.
Gui Yi has no objection, but when he was returning to the room, he inadvertently turned his face and caught a glimpse of Mo Dai hugging Mo Xiaoman, with a kind and gentle face, which looked very beautiful.
Gui Yi blinked, picked up the cat at his feet, stared at its eyes and said to himself in English: “Quack, do you think I’m going to tell her? Two days later, she will suffer a **** disaster. If she agrees to follow If I leave, I will help her solve it, if she doesn’t agree…forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow!”
“Meow!” The white cat yelled as if responding to him, stretched out its tongue and licked his little hand, its blue eyes shone strangely under the dim yellow light.
