This year's Spring Festival is later than in previous years, so this day is also particularly cold.
Mrs. Xu got up early on New Year's Eve and looked around the house inside and outside. It was decorated with lanterns and colors, and it was very beautiful.
Although Xu Qingmo's injury has healed a lot, Mrs. Xu still refuses to let her move more. She makes her sit and lie down most of the time, for fear that if someone accidentally touches her bones, the wounds that have not yet recovered will become more and more serious. serious.
This year is the first time that the old lady of the He family celebrated the New Year at the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion after her daughter passed away. She originally rushed over to take care of her granddaughter, but now it's almost the New Year in the blink of an eye.
Marquis Ningyuan had already taken a bath a few days ago, and he was resting at home these days. He often had nothing to do, so he sat with the old lady of the He family to bask in the sun. One of them was lying next to him while he was recuperating. Xu Qingmo.
Just when they had just finished lunch, the emperor's oral instructions came from the palace, asking the family to enter the palace for New Year's Eve dinner, and the old lady and Mrs. He were specifically mentioned in it.
Although the Qingyuan He family has withdrawn from the political core for many years, the century-old family still has a pivotal position in the hearts of those in power.
After receiving the order, Marquis Ningyuan looked at Mrs. Xu, who was frowning next to her, with a face full of embarrassment: "...This, His Majesty's oral order, we can't resist it!"
"Mo Mo needs to recuperate now, so he can't be bumpy. Why don't you, a father, care about it at all?" Mrs. Xu was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, "Mo Mo is a girl after all, and she has to be raised carefully, but it's not you. Those bastards who serve as soldiers don’t treat people as human beings!”
"That's right, look at how you are a father!" Mrs. He on the side also echoed, "You don't worry about anything every day. You are a daughter, do you think you are some rough boy? You don't care at all! "
With the help of the old lady, Mrs. Xu gained a lot of confidence: "Look, you just don't care about your daughter at all, you don't know how to care for her!"
Ning Yuanhou looked at the two people singing in front of him and felt helpless: "What should we do? Shall we resist the decree?"
Madam Xu naturally would not talk about resisting the decree, but she was dissatisfied in her heart: "You are relying on us not to resist the decree, so you don't know how to feel sorry for your daughter! When Mo Mo gets married in the future, I will not let my son-in-law give you a husband." liquor!"
"Don't worry, there will never be a next time!" Father-in-law's wine is still very important!
Old Mrs. He looked at Ning Yuanhou, who was languishing in Mrs. Xu's place, and suddenly thought of her daughter who died young. She felt sad, but she still endured the sadness, offered a few words of help, turned around and left.
After returning to the yard, Mrs. He took out a tiger head hat from the package she carried with her and put it in her arms, with tears in her eyes.
As soon as Mrs. He opened the door, she saw Mrs. He holding the tiger head hat. She understood that Mrs. He was thinking of her daughter who died young. She slowly stepped forward and looked at the person in front of her in recent years. The old lady who worked hard for the whole family softly shouted: "Mother!"
Mrs. He raised her eyes to look at Mrs. He and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Don't take it to heart, I just suddenly remembered..."
Over the years, in order to prevent her daughters-in-law from feeling partial, Mrs. He rarely mentioned their deceased sister-in-law in front of them. They were all mothers, so they naturally understood that it was a good idea for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift. What a sad thing.
Mrs. He looked at Mrs. He and comforted her softly: "Mom, my sister is kind-hearted. She must be very happy over there!"
Mrs. He sobbed softly, Mrs. He stopped talking and just listened quietly.
As for Xu Qingmo, he had been forced to change into a pair of newly made clothes.
Because of the injury, Xu Qingmo's appetite has not been very good these days, and the clothes he made are a whole lot smaller. When Mrs. Xu was helping Xu Qingmo change clothes, she shed tears of distress.
Xu Qingmo looked at his mother who couldn't stop crying and comforted: "Mom, they all say that thinner women are more beautiful!"
"What does it look like? It looks good!" Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red. "What do you want to do to look so good? Of course, you have to be in good health to be considered good!"
Xu Qingmo was speechless and could only listen to Mrs. Xu's mumbling: "...After entering the palace, you don't want to go anywhere. When you salute, be careful with your movements. Don't hurt yourself, you know?" ?”
"I know!" Xu Qingmo must respond obediently at this time, otherwise, he will be scolded to death today.
"This year your Majesty is probably holding the annual party in the palace because the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince are both getting married and wants to be lively!" Mrs. Xu said softly, "I know you don't like Yan Junuo, but her Now that your identity is there, you should still salute, do you understand?"
"I know!" Xu Qingmo said helplessly as he looked at the mother beside him who was thinking in vain, "As long as she doesn't cause trouble for me, I won't cause trouble!"
Mrs. Xu knocked Xu Qingmo on the head: "Don't be stubborn with me!"
Xu Qingmo had no choice but to shut up obediently.
Just when Mrs. Xu was arranging the carriage and horses, the queen came with news and sent a carriage. She said that she was worried that Xu Qingmo's injury was not fully healed yet, and in case of bumps or something, it would take a long time to recover.
When setting off, Xu Qingmo looked dizzy as he looked at the carriage in front of him: "The Queen, you must think that my fate is too great. Will I really not be drowned by the saliva of those literati if I sit in this carriage?"
"You just escaped from death, and you were involved in such a big conspiracy. You just made a meritorious service. The scholar who doesn't care about his life is going to tamper with this matter. I'm afraid he thinks his life is too long!" Xu Yanquan suddenly appeared next to Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo glanced at Xu Yanquan leisurely: "Then you will sit with us?"
"First of all, I'm not a married woman, and secondly, I'm not an injured person, so why should I ride in a carriage!" Xu Yanquan turned his head, "I'd rather ride with my father, so you can take care of yourself!"
Then, Xu Qingmo sat in a carriage with Mrs. He, Mrs. He, and Mrs. Xu. It wasn't that she felt uncomfortable, but these three were all elders, and they kept telling Xu Qingmo one by one along the way. , her head was a little dizzy after hearing it!
After finally getting off the carriage, Xu Qingmo saw Meng Hetong from a distance. At that moment, she seemed to have seen a savior. Before they could react, she dragged Xu Yanquan to find Meng Hetong.
Meng Hetong, who had just gotten off the carriage, saw Xu Yanquan running over with Xu Qingmo. As she walked, she said: "Your Majesty, please help us!"
