"Master, the oiran doesn't see you."
The man wore a silver mask on his face and his eyes were narrowed.
"Didn't you get enough money?"
The subordinate shook his head, "The old madam was unmoved and said that the oiran didn't accept guests, otherwise the subordinate..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man, "I have just entered the capital, so I shouldn't be too showy. I'm just a fireworks woman. I have a long time to come. It's not worth doing bad things for her."
Anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future.
Yanran, whom the two of them talked about, was staring at each other with the madam.
"Tell me, what do you think?" The madam put the tea cup on the table.
"Just now someone wanted to see you and was very generous. I knew you would definitely not see him, so I pushed him away."
Yanran played with her hair absentmindedly.
"I know my mother is doing it for my own good, but the young master is generous and has an extraordinary temperament. How come there is no wife at home?"
The madam was silent for a moment and said seriously: "You asked for the performance yourself, didn't you just want to attract him? When people come, you push them away. If you have anything to say, just say it clearly. You can't stay here forever. Let’s go to Fengyue Tower!”
She treats the girls in the building equally. If the girl has someone she likes, she naturally wants them to belong somewhere, so that they don't want to be as helpless as her when she gets old.
"If he was happy with me, how could he not tell me about her family situation?"
Yanran looked a little more serious. She was brought back to Fengyue Tower by her mother at the beginning of this year.
The first time I met a guest, I met the young master. This man was different from the other people my mother said. He simply drank tea and listened to music, and the two had a great conversation.
Later, the young master often came to the building to see her, but every time he came, he just simply drank tea and chatted, and did not do anything extraordinary.
He was even worried that she wouldn't be able to cope with other guests, so he spent a lot of money to buy her in so that she wouldn't have to deal with other people.
When she met such a handsome young man who thought about herself, she was not unmoved, but every time the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back because of other concerns.
"If he didn't like you, how could he consider you like this?" The Madam stood up and patted her shoulder, "One has to speak first about feelings, otherwise it would be a pity if you missed it."
…
the other side.
After leaving Fengyue Tower, the fourth prince and the two parted ways and went directly to Mo Mansion.
"Grandpa, your lovely and well-behaved grandson is here to see you."
After saying this, no one responded to him. The fourth prince raised his legs and went in. The house was quiet.
He scratched his head. Could it be that his grandfather was still angry, so he hid and refused to see him?
But if he couldn't see his grandfather, how could he cry about poverty?
"Grandpa, I brought the best snacks from the palace to see you."
"Why are you shouting so loudly?" An old man with gray hair came out, holding his hands behind his back, and raised his hands to pick his ears, "I'm not deaf yet!"
The fourth prince grinned and stepped forward to hold Mr. Mo's arm.
"I'm not afraid that you don't want to see me, grandpa."
Going to the main hall, the fourth prince warmed his hands, took out the snacks he brought and handed them to Mr. Mo.
"Grandpa, I brought this specially for you, try it."
Mr. Mo looked wary and did not reach out to take it, "To show your courtesy for nothing, it is either adultery or theft. Have you been beaten by your mother-in-law again and you want me to help you seek justice?"
The fourth prince shook his head quickly, "No, I just miss you, grandpa."
Mr. Mo took the snack and said unceremoniously: "What's the matter if it's not being beaten?"
"Well," the fourth prince rubbed his hands and hesitated: "It's the Chinese New Year soon, money is a bit tight, so..."
He has not yet given the gift he owed Luo'er before, and the red envelope for the New Year must be indispensable, otherwise he will not only be criticized by his father and mother, but also Luo'er will arrange it in his heart.
"Your money was taken away by your mother and concubine?"
His daughter, Mr. Mo, still understands.
"Okay," seeing the way he hesitated to speak, Mr. Mo thought he had guessed correctly and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and gave it to him.
"Take it, the silver note will be sealed with a red seal for you."
In fact, the fourth prince was trying to organize his words when he hesitated to speak, but since he had misunderstood it, he thought it was taken away by his mother and concubine.
If the mother-in-law pursues the matter, she can say that her grandfather has misunderstood.
"I asked you to learn the machine arts from me, but if you did, you might be able to fight with your mother and concubine."
"Thank you, grandpa," the fourth prince happily collected the banknotes and froze when he heard the words.
Suddenly remembering the torture he suffered in the palace, the fourth prince's eyes lit up.
If I learn the art of machine learning from my grandfather, then I don't have to live in the palace or practice calligraphy.
The more the Fourth Prince thought about it, the more feasible it became.
"Grandpa, I'll learn." He seemed to have made up his mind, "I'm willing to learn the art of machine learning from you."
Mr. Mo was a little surprised, then smiled happily.
"Okay, at least you won't accomplish anything after learning this. Otherwise, when your grandfather and your mother and concubine are gone, no one will protect you anymore."
Although the Moh family is not involved in government affairs, as long as the art of organization is not lost, others will not dare to underestimate the Moh family.
"But my father wants me to practice calligraphy in the palace. Grandpa, you have to tell my father. If he agrees, it will be fine."
Mo Lao, who was still sensational, paused.
No wonder this brat suddenly agreed. He was relieved that he was finally sensible and was waiting for him here.
…
Back at the palace, the fourth prince ran to his residence in a happy mood, intending to show off in front of the second prince, but there was no one in the room.
"Your Highness, you are back. The Emperor asked you to go to the side hall of Zuihua Palace to find him." A Feng knocked on the door and came in.
The fourth prince followed Ah Feng to the side hall and saw the other royal brothers there, feeling confused.
Could it be that something happened?
"My son has met my father," the fourth prince asked the prince next to him in a low voice after saluting.
"Brother Crown Prince, what's wrong?"
The emperor glanced at him and said, "This year's New Year's Eve family dinner will be celebrated together. No one is allowed to be absent, especially the fourth child."
The Fourth Prince: "..."
I thought it was something big, but it turned out to be just to light him up.
"My son will definitely not be absent."
"Father," the prince said with cupped hands, "the emperor's uncle should have already set off and will arrive in the capital soon."
The emperor nodded, "Back then, he asked himself to be stationed in Yueqing. It has been hard on him these years."
[Already set off, I have arrived in the capital now. 】
[Don't you be quite touched by the tyrant's tone? He invited you to Yueqing because he was worried that if you ascended the throne, he would not be able to survive first and then make a comeback. 】
[As a result, you are still impressed by yourself here. 】
emperor:"……"
It was not that he had never doubted the emperor's brother before, but for so many years, the emperor's brother had been able to make no mistakes.
The second prince thought of the figure he saw in Fengyue Tower. According to Zhao Luo'er, that person was undoubtedly the emperor's uncle.
