Chapter 12
Quietly, quietly.
"Could this girl be mute?" Wei Er thought after saying this, the loss would be huge.
Mo Zi really wanted to pretend he was mute at this moment.
"The guest asked you, why didn't you reply?" Qiu Si didn't say that he didn't understand the rules. He usually looked down upon and was harsh on the maids in the house. At this time, he couldn't show his face.
"Mo Zi." His voice was not loud and he was reluctant.
"Mozi? How do you choose a boy's name for such a good girl?" Wei Er couldn't find the word.
"Ink's ink, purple's purple." Mo Zi still lowered his head.
"There are thousands of peonies in Yuling, but the king came just to see Mo Zi." Wei San showed off his talents again, "Mo Zi, the famous peony in Yuling, was originally only offered to the royal palace, but later spread to the nobles and wealthy businessmen.
At home, the florist sold it to me, Da Zhou, and it was worth thousands of gold. I heard that because the Yuling man loved dark purple peonies very much, he often named his daughter’s family after them. Could it be that the girl is also from Yuling?"
"Sir, you are very knowledgeable. Mo Zi is indeed from Yuling." However, there are many people called Mo Zi who are not Peony, but she has no idea about them at all.
"It's a troubled time in Yuling. Could it be that when the girl came to Zhou Dynasty, she was also involved in the war?" Wei San was now justified in going to look at the woman behind him, but her head was lowered too humbly?
"Mo Zi lost his parents and took refuge with others, so he was taken in by Miss San." Now that his name has been revealed, sooner or later people will know that Qiu Sanniang is his master.
"Are you Qiu Sanniang's maid?" Wei Er heard this and jumped in front of Wei San to speak.
"Yes." Mo Zi always lowered her eyebrows and looked down, even though she had learned politeness before that she should look directly into the eyes of others when talking to them.
"Extraordinary young lady, extraordinary girl. That's the truth, that's the truth!" Wei Er looked puzzled, "Third brother, if you don't agree, I'll lend you five taels of silver and bet on this girl to win.
"
"Master Wei Er, since you are the banker, how can you place a bet?" Xiuzhu was cautious, but she was right.
"Someone has to put money on my right hand, sir, so that I can bet." Wei Erke changed his surname to Lai.
As soon as Wei Er finished speaking, there were five taels of silver ingots next to the tea cup on the right.
"Second brother, this is mine. Why should I borrow it from you?" It was Wei San who put the money. "Yuling destroyed the country and the people were displaced. It's really pitiful for Miss Mo Zi to be like this."
Are you pitying her? It's better to be really pity, and don't have bad intentions. Mo Zi doesn't appreciate it. After all, she has no intention of competing with others in terms of talent. It's entirely up to these people to talk to themselves.
"This name is really good for you." Wei Er doesn't care whether he can break the country or not. He is from the Great Zhou Dynasty, so things will be fine in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"You said you are Sanniang's girl?" Qiu Si's face became clouded since Mo Zi mentioned Sanniang.
"Exactly." Mo Zi didn't need to look at Qiu Si to hear his displeasure, "The girl asked Mo Zi to go to the outer garden to do some work. After the work was done, I met the housekeeper and said that Fourth Master wanted more tea here, so he let me in.
Serve.”
"I don't remember seeing you around Sanniang." Qiu Si couldn't find the image of this maid no matter how much he thought.
"Mo Zi is just a second-class maid. She usually does menial work in the girl's yard, serving tea and water and running errands." She had seen him before, but his eldest young master's eyes were higher than his head, and she didn't want to attract attention.
Qiu Si pondered, this statement made sense. There were many maids in Qiu's house, and he had not seen every one of them.
"Oh? Brother, you surprised me." Wei Er suddenly shouted, "The third brother was the first to praise the girl. I'm not surprised that he took care of her. Brother, do you also think that names are good and beautiful?"
It turned out that at this moment, there was another five-tael piece of silver in the circle that Mo Zi won. It was placed by Wei Da.
"Wealth can be found in danger." Wei Da ignored Wei Er and drank tea from a cup.
Mo Zi suddenly felt that among these people, Wei Da was the most sophisticated and shrewd person.
"Niece, we'll be waiting for you this time." Wei Er, the banker, lives up to his name.
"Since she is a girl in my house, how can it be justified if I don't bet on her to win?" Qiu Si took out the silver from his sleeve, exactly five taels, and handed it to Wei Er.
"Okay, I'm done buying it now." Wei Er could really shout.
Everyone sat down and focused their attention on Mo Zi again.
"Girl, we just listened to Miss Xiuzhu's little song, what are you going to sing?" Wei Er is not only a banker, but also like a modern show host, he can take on any job.
How inexplicable! She just poured the tea, the words were not written by her, the hands were not admired by her, she was not the one who suggested redeeming herself as a concubine, and she was not the one who encouraged people to refuse to accept a beautiful concubine. In the end, she wanted to
Perform for people. Also, what's the benefit of her winning? That singer named Xiuzhu didn't complain? Not even a piece of money could fall into her sleeves, so she had to be someone who wouldn't complain.
Let her find a place where no one is and look up to the sky and smile!
Qiu Si coughed impatiently.
Mo Zi finally raised her head. A ray of sunlight passed through the lattice and illuminated her side.
Everyone was stunned.
The purple ink is not ugly. Her skin is like pearls, her eyes are like water, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her lips are like cherry blossoms. If her expression were not a little dull, her posture was a little hunched, and her movements were a little sluggish, she could be called a beauty. It is no wonder that if she lowers her head, she will not
Attracting attention. Although his appearance is exquisite, his movements lack aura, and he lacks a graceful and bright charm.
Nowadays, no matter how graceful her posture is, people only focus on her face and magnify the beauty.
Seeing this, Mo Zi took another half step back, quickly lowered his head slightly, letting the shadows in the hall cover his cheeks again, and then said, "Mo Zi has been poor since he was a child. He is clumsy and has never learned any skills."
Singing? She's not modest, she's really tone-deaf.
Mo Zi lowered her head and could clearly see her facial features, but everyone's eyes dimmed and they saw that she was no longer as bright as before, she was just the most ordinary maid.
These people didn't communicate with each other. They thought they were lost for a moment and immediately forgot about it. Only Qiu Siweisan didn't think it was a mistake and had different expressions.
"How about a female celebrity who can't sing?" Wei Er seemed to be on Mo Zi's side, "I've never seen a maid in the Wei Mansion who can't embroider. This can be considered a talent. Is that right, Miss Xiuzhu?
?”
Xiuzhu curled her lips and said, "Mr. Wei Er said that's right. Xiuzhu has worshiped the master of Nande Embroidery Yufang, and she can embroider well."
"Mo Zi is not good at female celebrities either."
Embroidery? She is not modest. If she tears Wei Er's clothes, she can mend them to make sure they look like they have been mended. If there are patches, she can sew them better without leaving holes.
"Oh my, what about music, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Wei Er said, "Qiu Sanniang is good at everything."
"Mo Zi doesn't know anything." It doesn't make sense. She just doesn't want people to judge her.
"Poems and songs?" Wei Er asked what he caught.
"Mo Zi has never read a book." These days, it is okay for women to be literate, but it is not a good thing.
"..." Wei Er was at a loss for words.
Mo Zi originally planned to pretend to the end, but the certain focus that Qiu Si and Wei San placed on her made her change her mind.
Wei San said that one cannot take a concubine if one has filial piety. However, the period of filial piety will eventually pass.
Mo Zi believed that although he seemed to respect and love his wife, according to Wei Er's description, there was also an element of fear.
Qiu Si said that if Xiuzhu was interested, he would redeem her life and give it to Wei San.
It seemed to Mo Zi that Wei San was listening too seriously to the music, which made Qiu Si think that he was interested in Xiuzhu, so he showed his favor to the fifth-grade master.
Then, consider her own situation. If Wei San really plans to marry a concubine, she should give up his idea for her own safety. Losing to Xiuzhu may not escape his eyes. And one who cannot compare with him
It was easier for Qiu Si to give away the singer's maid.
In a moment, Mo Zi made a decision in her heart, so she spoke——
"Although Mo Zi is stupid, he can still tell good stories. I just don't know if it counts?"
