Zhao Mo left the Yongjia Marquis Mansion and did not return directly to the Liao Prince's Mansion. He first went to Liulichang in the outer city.

Qin Hanzhen said that she went to visit the Longfu Temple Fair on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Niu also asked her to draw the lively scenes at the temple fair. He knew that this was still a bit difficult for Qin Hanzhen today. If it was just a rough drawing, it would be just one picture.

Painting, that's fine, but with Qin Hanzhen's temper, how could she casually deal with the painting her grandmother wanted? She must have painted seriously. Although he has also practiced calligraphy and painting in recent years, due to his limited talent,

There are serious things to be busy with again, which is far less than the amount of thought he spent in the past few years. Qin Hanzhen can't help him with painting, so he can use other methods to help.

Zhao Mo had a property near Liulichang. The shop was rented to Prince Xiuning and he still rented it. The small courtyard behind the shop was vacant. Since he was going to stay in the capital for a while, he thought about it.

Qin Bai loved antique calligraphy and painting, and Qin Hanzhen also loved calligraphy and painting. Qin Jian and several of his friends from the clan would also visit the outer city from time to time. He had this small courtyard cleaned up before the year.

Put on the charcoal fire and daily necessities, and arrange for a couple to stay here. Whenever he gets tired from shopping nearby, he can come over to rest and warm up at any time. Now that he has free time, he can come and enjoy it first.

He asked people to do some things in the yard, and then went to Liulichang for a walk. But the market hadn't opened on the third day of the lunar month, so there was nothing to go shopping, so he had to go back to the inner city. At this time,

The sun was already setting in the west. He went directly back to Prince Liao's Mansion and saw Ah Shou as soon as he entered the door.

Ah Shou came up to meet him, helped lead the horse, and complained that he rode away without even taking him with him. He asked with concern where he had been that day, but the wind blew and the snow fell.

? Seeing that he had changed into unfamiliar clothes, he immediately guessed where he went: "I am going to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion? I was worried that you would suffer outside. You told me earlier, but

We were going to the Hou Mansion, why did we leave the younger ones behind? The younger ones from the Hou Mansion also went there often. They were very familiar with each other and could chat with the old brothers. Their big kitchen

The mutton stew is so good that my little one has been talking about it for a long time and wants to try it again sometime."

Zhao Mo rolled his eyes at him: "Look at your potential! The mutton at my uncle's house is indeed well stewed, but we don't know the secret recipe. If you want to eat it, just ask the kitchen people to follow it, and you will be so greedy.

?”

Ah Shou said with a smile: "If it were in our own county prince's palace, then of course we would cook whatever we wanted. But now that we live in the Liao Prince's palace, the young people know that it is the secret recipe of the Yongjia Marquis Palace.

, how can we ask the cook in the palace to learn from it? Besides, the cook in the Hou's mansion has some unique skills. Even if the younger one knows what ingredients are used in his stewed mutton, he can't make it taste exactly the same. Think about it.

If you want to eat authentic food, you still have to go to the Marquis Mansion."

This was what Zhao Mo wanted. He threw a purse to Ah Shou casually: "You are a good boy, this is the right idea. I have rewarded you with the purse, and you must continue to be so attentive in the future. If you

I'm thinking about the mutton stew at my uncle's and grandpa's house. When I get a vacation, I'll go see your old brothers. I want to go to the Hou Mansion, but I can't think about taking you with me every time."

Just kidding, how can you act freely when you always have people with you? Just like today, he waited in the corridor between the two princes of the Qin family for more than half an hour. If he had brought Ah Shou with him, wouldn't he have been talked about to death? He brought too many people,

What's that quiet? If he alerted the woman guarding the side door of the Lianghou Mansion, wouldn't he be laughed at? When he met his cousin Qin, even a quiet Feng'er was too redundant, let alone the one behind him.

A long list.

Ah Shou had no idea what his county prince was thinking, and he was happy that Zhao Mo nodded and allowed him to go to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion during his vacation. In fact, his old acquaintances were mainly at the Chengen Marquis Mansion.

When he followed Zhao Mo to live in the Marquis Chengen's Mansion, he still recognized a few friends. There were also Sister Qingdai and Mother Fei who served in the inner courtyard. There were also several close sisters in the Qin family's two marquises' mansion. If he

If you really go to visit friends, you will inevitably have to take something with them.

He handed the horse to the boy below and accompanied Zhao Mo all the way to the courtyard where he lived. Zhao Mo went to Beijing to stay in the Liao Prince's Mansion this time, and he still lived in the same courtyard where he had lived before. Although it was not the main courtyard.

The house is better than a clean and quiet one. The people waiting inside and outside the house, as well as the treatment, are naturally different from those back then. Zhao Mo's status has risen by an unknown number of levels, and the servants in the palace have not been able to do it in a year.

You may not be able to see the princes, princesses and other masters above you, so how can you put on airs in front of Zhao Mo?

After entering the house, Ah Shou pushed everyone away and reported to Zhao Mo: "During the day, the prince sent someone to call me, but he was not at home. The person who came was very angry for a while and asked the children to tell me when he came back."

I'll go over there as soon as possible, saying that the prince has something he needs to tell me to do."

Zhao Mo frowned: "What's the matter with him?"

Ah Shou shook his head: "I don't know, I originally wanted to find out the messenger's tone, but he just dropped the words and left. What a big arrogance!"

Zhao Mo was surprised when he heard this: "Do you recognize that person? When did my father have such an arrogant person?" Now even Zhen Zhong didn't look at him anymore, and he was even more respectful and polite when he spoke.

The same is true for a confidant. Is it possible that there are people under Zhao Shuo who are so indifferent?

Ah Shou said: "I have never seen him before, and I have tried to find out. He is tight-lipped and has never revealed a word of the truth. But he came here on horseback with Sheng'er. I saw that Sheng'er was following him.

Behind him, he didn't say a word, his face was stern, and he looked like he was very taboo."

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows, his expression somewhat meaningful.

Sheng'er and Chang'er, who had an ambiguous relationship with Lan Xue and Lan Fusheng back then, were both Zhao Shuo's servants. They were sent by him to work for Zhao Mo and accompanied Zhao Mo to the Liao Prince's Mansion to inquire about news.

Looking for the so-called evidence that the King of Liao and his concubine planned to use to frame Zhao Shuo.

Nearly four years ago, Chang'er was ordered by Zhao Shuo to send an urgent letter to Zhao Mo who was returning to Beijing along the canal, asking him to speed up his journey back to Beijing and stop traveling with the Qin family. In fact, he was ordered by Lan Xue to secretly

Sow discord and prevent Zhao Mo from returning to Beijing. Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen discovered his disobedience, exposed his true intentions step by step, and reported it to Zhen Zhong who came later. After Zhen Zhong returned to Beijing, he reported to Zhao Mo

Shuo Zhen knew the truth and took Chang'er away. Although Lan Xue later used her sweet words to clear her name, and even got Lan Fusheng back, but Chang'er was a small person, so naturally he was no longer under the influence of Zhao.

In the team that was pardoned by Shuo, Zhao Mo heard that he was kicked out of the house, and he didn't know where he went.

Sheng'er, who had been a partner with Chang'er, was once suspected and guarded by Zhao Shuo and several managers, and was thrown into idleness. Fortunately, he was quite clever and indeed innocent, and returned to his post a year later.

However, he was delayed for this year, and his original position as a confidant was naturally replaced by someone else. Now he is just doing errands in the front yard, and his status is not the same as before.

After Zhao Mo returned to Beijing, he went to his father's house to pay his respects. He signaled to Ah Shou. Ah Xing and the others talked to Sheng Er and renewed their friendship through their past work together, so that they could use him to inquire about the situation in his father's house. Sheng

After suffering the consequences of Chang'er, he became more cautious now. He was respectful and courteous to Zhao Mo and his group, but did not dare to get too close. However, he was not a fool. Zhao Mo was gaining power now. If he could get his support, he would be able to change his mind.

Going to Suning County Prince's Mansion to work would naturally have a bright future. It was much better than sticking to Zhao Shuo as a boy in the outer courtyard. Therefore, when he encountered unimportant news, he was happy to reveal a few words to Zhao Mo's people.

, even in exchange for some reward money, it can help support the family's finances.

Just like this time when Zhao Shuo sent an ugly servant to deliver a message to his son, Sheng'er could have mentioned this person's identity to Ah Shou, Ah Xing and the others in private. This kind of thing was not a secret. He was completely

There is no need to be taboo. But he just kept a straight face and said nothing, and he was taboo about that person, so the identity of that person is a bit intriguing. Could it be that he is not Zhao Shuo's servant? Or maybe, he is not a servant at all.

His identity? Perhaps Zhao Shuo had given instructions in advance not to reveal who that person was?

Zhao Mo sat on the chair, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked Ah Shou: "How old is that person? What is he dressed like?"

Ah Shou said: "Look, I'm about eighteen, nine years old. He's quite handsome. He's dressed the same as Sheng'er. They're both new winter clothes made by the boys in the front yard of the prince's house years ago. They're just smaller.

Look, the man's clothes seem to fit a little bit, and the outer robe is at least a little too long, almost reaching his calf."

The clothes of servants generally do not have wide robes and big sleeves, and the hem is shorter, so that it is easier to move and do things. A robe that almost reaches the calf is definitely not suitable for a boy who is responsible for delivering messages and running errands in the outer courtyard.

. The real owner of the clothes this man was wearing might be a tall young man. Zhao Mo recalled the situation of the servants in the front yard of Zhao Shuo's place, and he could probably guess which one it was.

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "Interesting. Could this messenger be a young master from some family? He actually changed into a servant's clothes and came to see me. He was pretending to be a ghost, but he didn't know how to act. A young boy came to my door.

What arrogance were you talking about before? What kind of song did my father sing this time? He even started playing with the children."

Ah Shou asked him: "Is I going to die in the master's house? Listening to the person who told me the message, the master seemed to be in a hurry, and he was about to go outside to find me. The younger one said that he didn't know that he was dead.

Where can I deal with people?"

Zhao Mo straightened his sleeves: "Forget it, ask Qingdai to come and wait for me to change my clothes. This outfit was lent to me by my uncle and grandpa. Don't let anyone get it dirty. Remember to wash it carefully, dry it, put it in a box, and send it back.

Hou Mansion."

He didn't mention the matter of going out, and only paid attention to ordering clothes. Ah Shou was a little unsure: "Sir, are you going to... go there?"

"Of course I have to go there." Zhao Mo smiled slightly, "My father is so sneaky. If I don't figure out what he wants to do as soon as possible, what if he wants to sell me?"

I went out for a big shopping trip today. I dragged a cart of stuff and walked several kilometers and came back. My back is sore and I only had a hamburger for lunch. My hands were shaking when I was typing. I don’t know if I was tired or hungry...
