MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 1100 Zhen'er was beaten, Cui Qingrou taught her son

One thousand four hundred pieces of moon cakes were baked for a whole afternoon. Six people and six animals ate more than fifty pieces among them. After giving three hundred pieces to Zhao Mu and others according to their tastes, the remaining nearly four hundred pieces were given to Zhao Mu and others. The Wu family, Mrs. Tong’s family, Master Zeng’s family, Master Shan’s family and more than a dozen families with the closest relationship in the village sent some.

In the end, more than two hundred yuan left, leaving a zero to eat tomorrow, and the other two hundred yuan will be installed in 20 exquisite gift boxes and gives them to the guests who will celebrate the festival tomorrow.

Sheng'er used a small square box to wrap up the perfect mooncake she had made, and prepared to give it to her future adoptive mother with her own hands.

Although the work was not heavy, everyone was still very tired after working non-stop for a whole day. After dinner in the evening, they each carried hot water and went back to their rooms to rest.

After Mo Yan took a shower, she worked with Xue Tuanzi in the space and told stories according to the previous agreement. Then she took the cleaned six beasts out of the space and applied a layer of ointment to Xiao Hua's scalded foot. He got into the thin quilt and fell into a deep sleep amidst the snoring of the hairball.

The next day, Mo Yan, Xin'er, and Sheng'er got up early again and loaded twenty boxes of moon cakes onto the carriage. After eating breakfast cooked by Li Xiu, the three sisters got on the carriage and headed towards the city. .

The six beasts took their respective beast tags and went to the capital before dawn, so as not to be seen on the street and cause unnecessary panic. When the city gate guards saw the animal signs, they would only watch where they went to prevent them from hurting anyone, but they did not dare to prevent them from entering the city, let alone drive them away.

Li Xiu, Li Yan and Tang Xin knew their identities and refused to go to Zhuangyuan Mansion to celebrate the festival together. Mo Yan was also worried that they would feel uncomfortable, so she tried to persuade them without forcing them.

At this time, the shops on both sides of the street have hung red lanterns. When night falls, the lamp oil inside will be lit. Since night is the main event, most of the shops are open, making it even more lively than usual. In addition to the people living in the city, there are also many lively people outside the city who plan to participate in the evening lantern festival after shopping.

 There were many young men and women among the pedestrians coming and going. There are young couples with women's hair combed, walking side by side, as well as young girls with untied hair and teenagers who are just starting to fall in love. They don't dare to get too close. One is in front and the other is behind. The woman looks back from time to time and follows closely behind. The young man gave a shy smile, which made the young man's face turn red. His green eyes shone brightly, expressing his indescribable affection.

The carriage was driving slowly, and Xin'er opened the corner of the curtain and watched with interest. Especially when she saw some young couples secretly holding hands in the crowd, with the husband lowering his head to whisper to his wife from time to time. She pulled Mo Yan and pointed at her to see: "This is too bold, even if they are a couple, in public. Yes, it’s so embarrassing to be seen by others. There are children coming and going here, so I’m not afraid of teaching them bad things.”

Mo Yan glanced at it and turned her head silently, imagining that if her innocent sister traveled to modern times one day and saw men and women all over the street hugging each other, touching their **** and kissing each other on Valentine's Day, would she be so scared that she would cover her eyes and hug her? Head thrashing?

Thinking of her sister's panic, she smiled rudely.

Xin'er looked worriedly at her happy sister who was smiling to herself. If her sister's eyes weren't still clear, she would have thought her sister was crazy. But this kind of thing can actually make my sister laugh. Does her sister think of the time when she got along with her brother-in-law? Are they like this too?

Xin'er, who has not yet awakened, is trapped in confusion...

 The carriage drove along the straight street for half an hour and finally arrived at the Zhuangyuan Mansion. The overall area of ​​the Number One Scholar's Mansion is less than one-fifth of the size of the Mo family, but the house is compact and has more than 20 rooms, so it can be accommodated by everyone in the Mo family.

There is only one Number One Scholar's Palace, and the right of residence for a new Number One Scholar is only three years. Before the next number one Number One Scholar is released, the previous number one Number One Scholar will have to find a new residence. It is difficult to find a house in the capital. Although there is still more than a year before the next imperial examination, the Mo family is already looking for a new house in case it is too late.

Because there would be guests coming to the door today, the door that had been closed in the past was wide open. When the sound of the car was approaching, Uncle Sun heard the sound and came out. When he saw the three ladies, he quickly stepped forward and held Xiao Hei's hand, and said respectfully: " Say hello to the eldest, second and third maidens, the master and the young masters have been waiting for a long time."

After working in Zhuangyuan Mansion for a year, Uncle Sun became a qualified concierge and housekeeper under the influence of the servants in the neighborhood. He rarely made mistakes when greeting people or sending them off.

Mo Yan opened the door and got out of the carriage first. She handed a box of mooncakes to Uncle Sun: "Grandpa Sun, these are mooncakes we made ourselves. You can take them and have a try with Grandma Sun."

Uncle Sun looked at the exquisite box and was a little afraid to accept it.

Mo Yan simply stuffed the box into Uncle Sun's arms, and while walking with his two sisters to the Number One Scholar's Mansion, he turned to Uncle Sun and said, "There are some mooncakes and ingredients on the carriage. Grandpa Sun, please bring the ingredients to the carriage." In the kitchen, if you want mooncakes, put them in the dining room temporarily."

Just as Uncle Sun was about to say something, he saw that several girls had already stepped into the threshold and disappeared through the screen wall. He hugged the mooncake box in his arms tightly, tears flashed in his old eyes, and he was extremely glad that he had sold himself to a good owner.

Mo Yan took her sisters all the way to the main hall. Six beasts came out from all directions, rubbed Mo Yan a lot, and followed her. Seeing that there was no one there, the three sisters came to the study by familiar means. Before they got close, they heard their father's voice instructing his brothers from the closed study.

The three sisters looked at each other and at the same time stepped lightly, quietly approaching the door of the study and listening to the conversation inside. Upon seeing this, the six beasts slowed down their steps, and except for the red python, all of them pricked up their ears.

"Is it still reasonable to fight? I asked you to reflect last night. Is this how you reflect?" Mo Qingze's furious voice came from the study: "Do you admit that you were wrong?"

"Dad, I admit that fighting is wrong, but they started the fight first. Why can't Brother Zhao and I fight back? Do we just stand there and let them beat us? Isn't that what fools do? Brother Zhao and I are not fools. !" Zhen'er argued unhurriedly.

"They took action first, so you can take action? You can ask the master to judge. Will the master favor the one who made the first move?" Mo Qingze's voice became louder, showing a bit of helplessness.

"Humph, Master will not favor them, but we have all grown up, and if we have to ask Master to solve even this trivial matter, what is the difference between us and little brats sucking milk?" Zhen'er considers himself a man, how can he be in trouble? Are you willing to ask the Master for help?

Mo Qingze was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute. He decisively turned the gun and pointed it at Yun Zhao, who was silent: "Zhao'er, do you think there is nothing wrong with taking action?"

Yun Zhao looked up at his adoptive father, then at his younger brother, and said with a guilty look on his face: "All the mistakes are Zhao'er's fault. Zhao'er knew that some people didn't like us, so he took his brother on a lonely road. , if he had not met them and spoken rudely to Zhaoer, his younger brother would not have quarreled with them in anger, and then took action to protect himself, Zhaoer asked his adoptive father to punish him. "

As he spoke, he took a step forward and knelt on the ground upright. Although he did not feel that he was at fault in his heart, in order to appease his adoptive father's anger and prevent his younger brother from being punished, he petitioned to be punished.

Not to be outdone, Zhen'er stepped forward and knelt beside Yun Zhao, pouting and saying, "If dad punishes Brother Zhao, just punish me for a while. Anyway, I will make amends with those people who bullied our brothers. "

Mo Qingze, who had been calmed down by Yun Zhao's confession, became furious again after hearing the "bastard words" spoken by his biological son: "You dare to threaten your father? Do you really think I won't punish you for saying this?" For you?"

Zhen'er wanted to say something more, but Yun Zhao at her side covered her mouth: "If you talk too much, your adoptive father will be really cruel."

Yun Zhao looked at Zhen'er as if he was looking at his teammates. If it hadn't been for his younger brother, he would have raised his hand to hit him.

Zhen'er didn't know why, and she didn't feel that she was holding back her brother. She just looked at her father, who was about to burst into flames, and finally closed his mouth. He wouldn't say that he was afraid of pain and didn't want to be spanked!

However, Mo Qingze's anger had been aroused. No matter how much Yun Zhao admitted his mistake and took full responsibility, Zhen'er still could not escape the punishment of being spanked with his pants taken off.

Hearing the loud banging sounds coming from the room and Zhen'er's screams of crying for her father and mother, Mo Yan and Xin'er covered their ears in tacit agreement, almost imagining that their brother's **** must be as red as rouge.

 Only Sheng'er looked worried, and her big eyes had begun to sparkle. She was worried that her two older brothers would be beaten badly, and she was also worried that her adoptive father would be mad at her two older brothers. She wanted to open the door and go in to stop him, but she was afraid of making her adoptive father even more angry and beating her two brothers even more severely.

"Dad, let's write. Can't we write?" Zhen'er covered her burning **** and agreed bitterly.

How could he be willing to pass by the lantern festival that he had finally looked forward to? No matter how unwilling he was and how he didn't want to admit his mistake, he didn't dare to mess with his father at this time.

Yun Zhao also held his **** and nodded. In fact, his injury was much lighter than Zhen'er's. But seeing his brother in so much pain, he was embarrassed to say that he was fine.

Hearing the footsteps, Mo Yan quickly hid with his two sisters. These two brothers are both proud masters, and they can bear being spanked by their father, but if their sisters at home see it, they may not even have the courage to look at them face to face.

Zhen'er and Yun Zhao opened the door to the study and saw six beasts sitting in the yard, with twelve eyes staring at their butts. Even though they knew they didn't understand anything, the brothers still felt a little inexplicable shame when facing such looks.

Zhen'er's eyes quickly looked around, and when she saw that there was no sign of her elder sister or younger sisters, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and urged Yun Zhao: "The six beasts are here, and my sister must be here soon. We have to go back to the room quickly, otherwise It would be very embarrassing to be caught by them."

“Well, let’s go quickly.” Yun Zhao raised his hands in agreement. He didn’t want to be seen by his elder sister or younger sister, especially his younger sister, otherwise it would be difficult to coax him.

After the two brothers limped around the corner and disappeared, the three sisters came out from the corner.

"Sister Yan, did you bring any ointment? Can you send a bottle to my brother and the others? I'm afraid they can't even sit on a chair now." Sheng'er begged Mo Yan with red eyes. The little girl was really sad.

Mo Yan nodded and used the cover of her purse to take out a bottle of ointment from the space. Just as she was about to let Hairball pass it over to prevent the two younger brothers from feeling uncomfortable, she saw her father walking out with an identical bottle in his hand.

Mo Qingze also saw it. He coughed dryly, inadvertently put the hand holding the medicine bottle behind his back, and asked with concern: "You came so early, have you had breakfast?"

 The three sisters nodded in unison to indicate that they had eaten.

Mo Yan didn’t ask about the two brothers fighting and being punished. In front of his father, Mo Yan stuffed the medicine bottle into Mao Tuan’s mouth. When the two younger brothers saw it, they thought it was their father who sent it.

Mo Qingze didn't say anything about this. He called the three sisters into the study and asked about some things at home in detail. He felt relieved when he learned that the autumn harvest at home was successfully completed.

Seeing that it was getting late and the guests were about to arrive, the father and daughter walked out of the study and prepared to receive the guests.

There were not many people invited this time. Apart from Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu, they were the Cui family's aunt and nephew, the Liu family and his wife, and the Han family. Yan Junyu had already made it clear two days ago that he would not come, so there was one less person. Today at noon, these people will have dinner at Zhuangyuan Mansion, and in the evening they will go home to worship the Moon God. After worshiping the Moon God, they gathered at Zhuangyuan Mansion and went to the lantern festival with the Mo family.

The first person to arrive at the Number One Scholar's Mansion was Xiao Ruiyuan. In addition to a box of mooncakes for the festival, he also gave fun gifts to several children as usual. Because of this, even if he rarely smiles and always looks cold, it can't stop a few children from liking him. Every time he comes, they will talk to him for a long time.

　　Well, most of them are just following the other person's preferences and talking about what my eldest sister has done. I can't finish it in detail for several hours. I don’t know why their memories are so good. They can find out some little things that even Mo Yan himself doesn’t remember.

Mo Yan was preparing the noon banquet with Aunt Sun in the kitchen, and she could hear the noise in the main hall. Fortunately, this time Zhen'er and Yun Zhao were hiding in the study writing a letter of apology, otherwise it would have been even more lively.

Not long after, Cui’s aunt and nephew came, and Cui Ping’an also brought his wife Fangcao. The two have been married for half a year, and their relationship is getting better day by day, and they don't want to separate for a while.

With Mrs. Cui protecting them, even if Princess Fuyun hated the couple, she would not be able to find a chance to take action. It's just that she is a princess after all, and she is Fangcao's direct mother-in-law. Fangcao has to pay her respects every day, and she will suffer some injustice. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Fortunately, Fangcao is a kind-hearted person and sticks to her duties. When faced with Princess Fuyun's difficulties, she always endures them with neither humiliation nor arrogance. Even if Princess Fuyun wants to find trouble, there is no legitimate reason. Otherwise, Mrs. Cui will be in prison. Protect her tightly.

Mo Yan got the news, washed her hands and came out of the kitchen. She saw Cui Ping'an and Fang Cao, a young couple, sitting under Xiao Ruiyuan. On the other side, Zhen'er was holding Cui Qingrou's hand and complaining to her.

“Aunt Cui, please explain. It’s obviously not Zhen’er and Brother Zhao’s fault, but my father beat us up indiscriminately. Do you think there is a father who treats his son so cruelly?”

 Cui Qingrou is very happy that her future stepson is close to her, but this does not mean that in order to leave the image of a loving mother in Zhen'er's heart, she echoes Zhen'er's words and criticizes Mo Qingze.

She looked at Mo Qingze, who had lowered his face and glared at his son fiercely, and covered the smile at the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. She did not answer Zhen'er's question directly, but asked: "You were injured when you fought with those classmates?"

Zhen'er subconsciously touched her thigh and said in a panic: "No, the two of us beat the four of them to a pulp. They are no match for us at all."

Cui Qingrou did not expose Zhen'er's lies, nodded and continued to ask: "What if there are six of them? Can you two fight?"

Zhen'er hesitated for a moment, knowing that no one would believe his boast, so he shook his head: "I can't beat him."

It took a lot of effort to defeat those four people yesterday. He and Brother Zhao also received a few kicks, and they were still in pain when they slept last night.

Cui Qingrou smiled softly and said slowly: "You see, fighting back doesn't really solve the problem, right? If there were six of them yesterday, you two brothers would definitely be the ones who were injured and defeated. If so, would you still take action?"

Zhen'er clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "Yes, you can't just be beaten in vain, right?"

Cui Qingrou shook her head and asked: "Are they bad? Do they often make trouble for other classmates?"

Zhen'er said angrily: "No, they have never made trouble for others. They just saw that our two brothers were better than them in Huixunkao and were favored by the master. They were jealous and always had trouble with us."

Cui Qingrou touched Zhen'er's head and said softly: "In other words, they are not actually bad, right?"

Zhen'er nodded. Although those guys had eyes on the top of their heads, they were really not bad in nature. Once, a cat ran into the school. The cook in the cafeteria, who hated cats, wanted to catch the cat and beat it to death. A few of them were saved.

After getting the expected answer, the smile on Cui Qingrou's face grew wider: "Since they are not bad, can you think of a way to be friends with them? Having one more friend is better than one more enemy, right? "

Zhen'er looked at the gentle and approachable woman in front of him and finally understood that she had taken such a big detour to educate him. But he didn't dislike this kind of education at all.

"Aunt Cui, Zhen'er listens to you!" Zhen'er glanced at his father with a resentful look, hugged Cui Qingrou's arm and acted coquettishly: "If my father could be as reasonable as Aunt Cui, Zhen'er would not be beaten. After all, Zhen'er My son is at fault, and so is my father."
