Chapter 3 The Peonies Bloom III

"Go and call someone in." When Mo Zi thought about it, Qiu Sanniang was already dressed.

Mo Zi opened the curtain and waited for Qiu Sanniang to sit down on the couch in the outer room. Then she went to the porch and called, "Mother An, please come."

I saw Mrs. An walking through the courtyard, smiling so hard that her eyes were stitched together.

Mo Zi saw it in his eyes and thought to himself, laugh, laugh, let's see who laughs last.

"Mother An, what kind of tea would you like to drink?" A faint smile appeared on her face, "I'll make it for you."

"Mo Zi, I'm not going to work for you. I'm just here to convey my wife's message, and I'll leave after I finish speaking." This girl was probably the only one in Sanniang's Courtyard who was decent and appropriate. Mrs. An tsked softly, "This mouth is so sweet, and she said strangely

It’s so lovable.”

Mo Zi didn't answer, but helped to lift the curtain, "Mother An, please come inside." She had to be nice even if she didn't like it, otherwise how could she find out the news ahead?

"Hello, Miss Third." Mrs. An was blessed, secretly smelling the incense in the room, peeking at the furnishings on the couch, and keeping it in mind.

Qiu Sanniang slowly clasped the tea lid and said, "No need to be polite. What message did mother want you to pass on?"

"Did the girl hear it?" Mrs. An pretended to say, "Look at my voice, don't scare the girl."

"I'm so shocked. I'll let the girls hit you when you hit me. Can you hurt yourself?" Although Qiu Sanniang is the third eldest child, her two elder sisters died young, so she is truly the eldest daughter of the Qiu family.

Even though Mrs. An had the support of her wife, she still knew the difference between master and servant. She cursed in her heart, but she repeatedly admitted her mistake and stated her purpose of coming, "My wife is hosting a banquet in Hongchun Pavilion tonight to entertain distinguished guests. Please dress up and attend."

"Where do your distinguished guests come from?" I asked lazily, but I couldn't help but answer.

"The prince's concubine, Mrs. Wei, has been in love with her since they grew up together. Her natal family's old man passed away, so she came back to see her off. Because she often praised the girls in her letters for their temperament and good looks, she wanted to take this opportunity to meet her.

." Mrs. An chose her words carefully.

"It is a blessing for our descendants to meet such a noble person." Shangdu Jingwang's Palace? Is it possible that such a good thing can happen?

Look at your nose with dark purple eyes, and look at your heart with your nose.

"That's natural. The third girl is the eldest daughter of our Qiu Mansion. She has a heavenly appearance and a not to mention temperament. She will definitely please the noble man. Although she is a concubine, she gets along with Princess Jing like a real sister. She often gets along with Princess Jing like a real sister.

I've been waiting around and got to know a lot of noble ladies from Xanadu." Mrs. An said that, and that's about it. "Third Miss, it's getting late, so you should hurry up and get ready. I still have to go back to my wife."

"Mo Zi, send it to me." Qiu Sanniang glanced sideways at Mo Zi before taking a sip of tea.

"Mama An, I'll take you out." Mo Zi didn't know that Qiu Sanniang was trying to make her talk again.

The two of them left the main room one after the other.

"Mother An, please accept this." Mo Zi took out three coins from his sleeve pocket and said, "I'm sorry to have you wait so long."

Mrs. An pretended, and finally put it into the sachet bag with a smile, "If nothing else, the third girl is the most generous to our servants."

Who doesn't know how to sing? Mo Zi looked at it calmly and said, "According to mother's wishes, that concubine wants to choose one of the young ladies from our Qiu Mansion?"

"No, I don't know who is so lucky?" Mrs. An's eyes widened when she saw the money, and there was nothing she couldn't say. Everyone in the house knew it.

"Whose family are you proposing for?" Xanadu? It's a bit far away.

"Who else can I help? Of course it's the young master in Prince Jing's palace. That's why I say it's a blessing." Mrs. An looked at the money instead of the monk.

Mo Zi stuffed in another five coins, "Who is this?"

This time, Mrs. An stopped and put it away directly, "Mo Zi, if it were someone else in this courtyard, I wouldn't say a word if I gave you money."

"Mom, good deeds are repaid with kindness. If my girl marries well, she will definitely give you a big red envelope." Mo Zi thought to herself, if you love money, you love money, and there is no shame in it.

"Third Master." Mrs. An lowered her voice when she saw Lu Ju.

"Concubine?" Mo Zi asked for the last time.

"How could a child born from Princess Jing's belly be a concubine?" After Mrs. An finished speaking, she arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

"It's good to go, Mother An. Mo Zi will see you off not far away." Mo Zi stood still, standing tall and graceful.

Mrs. An heard the door bolt being locked behind her, and when she turned around, she felt a little annoyed, "This girl is really capable." She slapped herself in the face, planning not to mention her leaked news in front of her wife.

Besides, Mo Zi returned to the house and saw Qiu Sanniang opening a copybook at the table.

"How?" Qiu Sanniang asked.

"That concubine is here to meet and choose someone for my third young master." Mo Zi stepped forward, holding his sleeves and raising his wrists, studying the ink.

"Concubine?" Qiu Sanniang also asked.

"Girl, I asked you the same question. It can be said that you are a direct descendant." Mo Zi soaked the pen and handed it over.

"Legendary?" Qiu Sanniang smiled coldly, her words were strong and she owed a woman's tenderness, "Why does the third young master who is the direct descendant of Prince Jing's family want to marry a young lady from a merchant family and come all the way to our place? Most likely, he is not this person.

If there is a problem, there is a problem in this government."

Since ancient times, business has been considered lowly. Even if you are the richest in the world, if there is no one in your family who is an official or a scholar, you are still inferior to others.

In the last three generations of the Qiu family, there had been donations of six-rank petty officials. When it came to Qiu Sanniang's ancestors, the imperial court abolished the system of donation of officials, and there was no one who became an official. Qiu Si and Qiu Wu were both dandy children, and their studies and scientific examinations were like reaching the sky.

Whether these two can keep the Qiu family business for hundreds of years is not Mo Zi's concern. Qiu Sanniang is a woman and she has to get married. If she marries and takes the surname of another family, she will become a member of that family. And since she plans to temporarily follow Qiu Sanniang,

Of course Qiu Sanniang is good because she is good.

"Prince Jing's Mansion is not an ordinary portal. If you take the time to inquire, there will definitely be clues to follow." Mo Zi was not in a hurry.

Qiu Sanniang never had more than half a page to practice calligraphy. She put down her pen, frowned and flicked her sleeves, "I listened to you in vain. Baba puts on these clothes and feels hot and stuffy just sitting there."

"Do you want to go and sit with Jiuniang? A few days ago, she mentioned the girl's purple wood butterfly pattern hairpin? Here, I carved another one, just in time to give it to her." Jiu Niang is ten years old.

His wife's biological daughter.

Mo Zi was smart, and Qiu Sanniang was also understanding. She immediately pursed her lips and smiled, "Bring it to me and let me have a look."

Mo Zi left the room and came back less than half a moment later, placing the newly made hairpin on the desk.

Qiu Sanniang looked at it carefully and couldn't help but praise it, "This butterfly looks like it's about to fly out. Look at this craftsmanship, it's getting better and better every day. It's not in vain that I saved you."

Mo Zi lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, not showing any arrogance.

Before time travel, she was a naval engineer, designing various battleships and submarines. However, this talent was not used in the Qiu Mansion. As for the carpentry skills, she should have learned them after coming to this era. Who did she learn from?

She didn't remember what level she had learned at all. She just couldn't stop holding the carving tool in her left hand. Her right hand had one more skill than ordinary women - abacus, which she learned from her mother who was an accountant in high school.

I can hit seven, seven, eight or eight.

Therefore, Mo Zi is neither left-handed nor right-handed, but is equally dexterous with both hands.
