The story told in the vernacular novel is a bit old-fashioned. It mainly tells the story of a poor scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination with the money saved by his family.
Unexpectedly, the scholar met bandits on the road. The bandits robbed his money but spared his life.
But how can I go to Beijing to take the exam without money?
Even if the scholar works hard, he still can't catch up with the schedule.
But the scholar was determined to take the exam, so he gritted his teeth and continued to go to Beijing. When he was thirsty, he asked kind people for water, and when he was hungry, he ate wild grass on the roadside.
Only one day had passed and the scholar fainted from hunger.
A beautiful and kind-hearted young lady passed by and gave the starving scholar some money and food. After the scholar woke up, he remembered this young lady whom he had never met before.
The scholar knew nothing about the young lady, only that she was the third daughter of the Su family in the capital.
He secretly swore that if he got a good score in high school, he would marry this girl.
Li Mofu felt his stomach when he heard this. It was empty and he could eat something more. So he interrupted Guozi and asked, "Have you read this storybook?"
Guozi was stunned for a moment, "I've seen it, Master Li."
"Then just tell me the ending." Li Mofu swayed back and forth with his legs crossed.
"Yes..." Guozi answered, though puzzled, "A scholar passed the imperial examination and proposed to marry the third daughter of the Su family, but was ridiculed by the Su family's master for daring to propose without even holding an official position."
"Later, the scholar was appointed by the emperor as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy and granted marriage to the then prime minister's second daughter. From then on, his career rose rapidly."
"And the third daughter of the Su family married a general, but she didn't live a good life afterwards. The general had many concubines and many confidantes outside."
Li Mofu rolled his eyes and chuckled, "The man who wrote the book must be a daydreamer. He even married the daughter of the prime minister and rose to prominence! Haha."
As far as Li Mofu has read many ancient Chinese novels about domestic intrigue, this is an absolutely low-level routine.
He would never have watched it before.
What a pity, now is now, if you don’t watch it now, you will just be bored.
Guozi closed the book and said nothing. He naturally didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what there was to say. It was just a storybook, just a way to pass the time.
Just watch it for fun.
"Come to think of it, isn't this general your young master?" Li Mofu said something shocking again, not only saying it once but also confirming it, "This is definitely written based on your young master!"
Mo Yi looked at Li Mofu in shock, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"What's wrong?" Li Mofu sat up immediately and shouted, "Isn't what I said wrong? Your young master has so many concubines that they can fill up the whole room, right?"
"Anyway, I'm just a concubine. If I get tired of her, I can just buy a new one. It's very convenient! Tsk, men all understand. Don't talk to me about confidantes!"
Mo Yi also stood up in anger, "The young master only has one concubine! She is usually chaste and diligent in studying and practicing martial arts. What do you, an ignorant person, know!"
Li Mofu was already holding back his anger, and after being trapped in this small courtyard for so long, his anger had already turned into a rebellious character. The more anxious you are, the more anxious he becomes.
"Just a concubine~," Li Mofu said in a shrill voice, then smiled angrily when he saw Mo Yi's face darken. "What do I know? I know everything!"
"Even if I'm ignorant, I know I'm your master's savior! Even the stone lions at the door are cleaned every day, but what about me? I was almost killed by his concubine!"
"Don't think I don't remember anything!"
"I remember eating rotten leftovers, I remember someone broke into my yard and beat me! I remember they forced me to kneel down, I remember they pushed me into the water!!" Li Mofu's eyes turned red with anger and his voice became hoarse.
"I'll remember them all!"
Li Mofu seemed to be venting the frustration he had been feeling for so many days. In fact, the dream was more torturous than anything else.
"Still reading? What kind of books are you reading?"
"The purpose of studying is to understand reason and distinguish right from wrong. Is this how your young master studies?"
Li Mofu sneered, "Don't call yourself a scholar. Where did you learn from the books?"
"Just one concubine!"
"Just one concubine has already killed me! If there are more, your young master should be prepared to follow me to the underworld!"
Li Mofu was so angry that he jumped up at the end, and took out all the frustration of coming here for no reason and suffering on Mo Yi, his voice became hoarse.
"Mr. Li!"
Guozi fell to his knees with a thud, startling Li Mofu who had just vented his anger.
Compared to Li Mofu's indifferent shock, Guozi was the one who was really scared. After hearing so many words, would he be sold out by the young master?
If it was sold...
Guozi thought of the slaves who were sold out by the mansion, all of whom went to places that were not worthy of being mentioned.
He was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat.
Li Mofu reacted and pursed his lips. He no longer had any good feelings towards this feudal place.
He wanted to go back, he didn't want to stay in such a place.
"Alas," Li Mofu sat back on the chaise longue, "How about you kill me?"
Mo Yi's face became even darker, but he could do nothing about it!
Although most of what Li Mofu said was complaints and resentment, they were the truth.
As for what happened to Li Mofu, it was really the young master's negligence from beginning to end. It was the young master's fault.
But the young master is the prince, so no one dares to speak out so blatantly and presumptuously even if it is his fault.
No matter what, Li Mofu should have died when he said this!
But Li Mofu can't die!!
This made Mo Yi seriously injured, and he wished he could bleed and ask for leave right now!
Looking at Li Mofu's indifferent and even death-seeking expression, Mo Yi felt like he was really going to be pissed off to death.
When he thought about reporting today's events to the young master after Li Mofu fell asleep, Mo Yi felt breathless.
"...Mr. Li, be careful with your words!"
After saying that, Mo Yi flicked his sleeves and left the house. He wanted to go outside to get some fresh air and calm down, otherwise he would be really angry to death!
Guozi was kneeling on the ground, and he trembled when Mo Yi passed by him.
The room became quiet for a moment.
Li Mofu felt better after venting, and even better after Mo Yi left!
But soon I felt a little depressed again.
He only dared to vent his anger towards the male protagonist and his subordinates, and he was afraid to vent his anger towards others.
Here, only the male protagonist will let him go for the sake of his life. Others, even the male protagonist's parents, will not let him off easily even if they don't kill him.
The only person he can threaten and vent his emotions on is the male protagonist.
Li Mofu felt helpless and patted his head, feeling aggrieved.
His identity here is that of a lowly person from the countryside who has never seen the world, even though he is the male protagonist's savior and even his wife.
He has other hardships to endure without the male lead.
With the male lead, he can still live a carefree life for two or three years.
"Heh." Li Mofu laughed at himself.
Guozi knelt on the ground and listened to Li Mofu sighing, laughing and humming, which was even more torturous.
He mustered up the courage to whisper, "Sir, do you still want to eat chicken?"
Li Mofu's attention was immediately drawn to him, "Why are you still kneeling?"
“…” Guozi didn’t dare to say more.
Li Mofu supported his chin and sighed again, "Get up."
"That...that chicken?" Guozi stood up and asked again.
Li Mofu thought about it. He had just had a fight and needed to replenish his energy. "Eat! Why not? Only by eating can you live well!"
Guozi breathed a sigh of relief.
After eating the chicken and drinking the medicine again, Li Mofu felt full and lay down to rest for a long time until the hot water was ready and then he went to take a shower.
After taking a shower and washing up, he went to bed. Li Mofu was very tired after scolding others and fell asleep soon after lying down.
====
But after he fell asleep, the Qinglian Courtyard was extremely tense. After Mo Yi reported the last word, the room fell silent.
"Oh!"
After listening to Mo Yi's report, Lu Mingyun's face turned pale and dark, and finally he slammed the table to vent his anger.
Mo Yi knelt on one knee on the ground with his head down, while Mo Zhu stood beside Lu Mingyun with his head down.
"Young Master..." Before Mo Yi could finish his words, Lu Mingyun raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't touch him." Lu Mingyun said in a deep voice, holding his forehead.
What’s the use of him being angry?
What can he do about this person?
He can only bear this anger!
Lu Mingyun also knew Li Mofu's bad temper, and he really couldn't keep his composure at all.
...That's not right. Is it because I was too patient before that I explode at the slightest moment now?
It really makes people hate it.
Lu Mingyun covered his face with his hands and sighed, then waved his hand, "Go back and continue to guard him. Don't provoke him. It's normal for him to feel resentful."
Mo Yi frowned in confusion, "Master, although we can't kill him, we can still teach him a lesson."
"Teach him a lesson?" Lu Mingyun put down his hand and looked at Mo Yi in disbelief, as if he had heard something particularly funny. "Don't you understand what he yelled at you for today?"
"What's his attitude now? He's half dead, half dead. He's just living a miserable life. If he lives well, he lives well. If he doesn't, he dies.
"Why did I ask you to guard him these days?"
"It's to prevent him from hanging himself!"
"You're telling me now that you want to teach him a lesson? Are you trying to force him to death?!"
Mo Yi understood, cold sweat breaking out on his back, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "My words were spoken carelessly! Please forgive me, Master!"
He had followed the young master for many years and knew what the young master was most afraid of, so he broke out in a cold sweat because of what he had just said.
Was he possessed by a ghost just now? He actually wanted to touch Li Mofu?
Lu Mingyun's face was gloomy, partly because of Li Mofu's bad temper, and partly because he remembered Lin's vague temptation this morning.
Really, I want to kill someone.
"Go back and guard it. Don't let him fall into the Lin family's trap again." Lu Mingyun supported his chin, closed his eyes and waved his hands, looking like he didn't want to discuss this matter anymore.
Mo Yi responded and stood up to leave.
After taking a few steps, Lu Mingyun called him back, "Wait a minute."
"Yes, young master, is there anything else you want to tell me?" Mo Yi asked.
Lu Mingyun wanted to ask him to tell Li Mofu that Bai Wanting was pregnant and that was why he was not beaten to death, but when the words came to his lips, he always felt something strange, so he swallowed them back.
"...Let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't go too far and doesn't run away," Lu Mingyun thought for a moment and added, "It's best to ask me first."
"Yes." Mo Yi responded.
"Let him have a taste of what it's like to be rich and powerful, and stop looking like he's about to die all day long!" Lu Mingyun said.
