Handbook for Avoiding the Court

The mother-in-law saw that Fang Ji's complexion was not very good, and noticed that he was relatively clean on weekdays, and his clothes were meticulous.And at this time, with his body, he didn't ask any more questions.So he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let your servant clean it up for you."

The mother-in-law picked up the crutches, stood up and started to leave.

"It's okay, mother-in-law!" Seeing that her mother-in-law was leaving, Fang Ji couldn't help feeling anxious. He still had a lot of things on his mind, and he wanted to ask them clearly. Thinking about what happened tonight and that rather terrifying nightmare made him more determined Want to know about Mo Jin's past.

"Mother-in-law, I have something to ask you." Fang Ji threw off the quilt and wanted to get out of bed and chase after her.

The mother-in-law turned around, looked at his anxious appearance, and hurried over with a walking stick, so Fang Ji lay down obediently.

The mother-in-law gently stroked the messy hair on his forehead with her rough and dry hands, with a kind face on her face. Perhaps, it was because she had no children in her life and missed her all the time.Or maybe, she feels sorry for these young people who are suffering, as if seeing her once young self is bitter, very bitter, very bitter.

"Ask, son." The mother-in-law said warmly.

"About...about...this wooden box." After Fang Ji finished speaking, he immediately regretted the five words!What he paid attention to was not the wooden box, but he snorted, it's gone!I am really clumsy and stupid!

The mother-in-law seemed a little surprised when she heard the sound. So this young master Fang is interested in this wooden box?So it was her old lady who was worrying too much?

But since he agreed, let him know.No matter what his purpose was, he was the young master's favorite friend after all, so he shouldn't be wrong.

The mother-in-law paused, her thoughts drifting away.

When he was young, the Tailord liked to go to the frontier fortress to do business. Every time he went to the frontier fortress, he could earn a considerable amount of income, and he could bring back a batch of rare treasures from outside the fortress. These are unique to the Jokhang Kingdom. .

One year, for unknown reasons, the Lakers suddenly became restless, and forced Zhennan Wang back 120 miles with the power of the whole country!At that time, the young Emperor Shaokang issued three military orders and ordered King Ming to go to support him, but King Ming refused to carry out on the grounds that he would not accept the orders of his generals.But they attacked the Lakers' lair, and the leader of the Lakers, Murza, fled in embarrassment.

Since then, the Lakers have retreated to a corner in the southwest, and the northwest is firmly in the hands of King Ming, and King Ming's reputation has been greatly enhanced!However, the southwest region has lost more than a dozen cities.

Emperor Shaokang, King Zhennan, and King Ming have each had their own grievances from the bottom of their hearts.No one can conquer anyone.Of course, Emperor Shaokang wanted to deal a severe blow to these two lords with heavy armies. If he killed one of them, not only would the border be unstable, but the three-legged situation would also be broken, and it would no longer be balanced.

The majesty of his own emperor alone is not enough to deter any of them. Hundreds of thousands of troops are like a shackle firmly placed on Emperor Shaokang's neck. : The merits and demerits are balanced.That's all.

The Lakers were defeated, lost their capital, and lived in the southwest. They were very useless, so they ordered all the Han people in the city to be expelled and beheaded, and Han people were strictly prohibited from coming and going.

This is undoubtedly cutting off the Tailord's way of making money!Mr. Tai loves money like his life, so he is naturally not reconciled, and somehow he used some method to infiltrate the Lakers' territory, successfully sold his own products, and secretly brought back a batch of Lakers' items.

On the way back, he was caught by the little princess of the Lakers. In order to save his life, the Tailord did everything he could to please the little princess. The little princess took this wooden box at a glance. Hearing that it was made by Lu Ban's descendants, it was even more amazing up.

Mr. Tai took great care to coax her into telling her that this is his family treasure, and only Mrs. Mo's family deserves to have it.

The little princess was also very happy to see that the grand master was a man of good looks and could speak eloquently.The Lakers women are simply generous, if they like it, they will ask for it.

The Tailord has been away for eight years!Until the woman from the lake died of illness, and the next year, the princess's father also passed away without reason, so the grand master returned to Mo's mansion with his youngest son.

It is said that when the Grand Master came back, he brought this wooden box with him, but nothing.The Lakers who guarded the city checked for a long time and found nothing, so they let him out of the city.

It took eight years to return to his hometown, and the Tailord felt a lot of emotion.When I went back to Mo Mansion and saw Mrs. Tailao, both of them were teary-eyed.

It's a pity that the happy reunion after parting is always so short, and it completely changed after the old lady saw the Laker woman's child.The child was very good-looking, but with obvious Laker features, his eyes were light blue and very dazzling.

Eight years later, the Mo Mansion was already under the control of the old lady, but the old lady had no choice but to send the young boy to the poison doctor's office, and quietly handed over the wooden box to him.

The old lady only gave birth to one daughter in her life, named Youlan.Tailao Madam entrusts all her hopes to her, she is good at both civil and military, and she is not inferior to men in terms of ability.

But the old man didn't think so.

Thirteen years later, the youngest son returned to the Mo Mansion, and the old lady had passed away.The eldest lady picked out a husband-in-law and barged in the door.

Ever since the youngest son returned to the Mo Mansion, the Grand Master tried every means to drive the Eldest Miss and her husband out of the Mo Mansion. In his opinion, a woman is a woman after all. When she is married and obeys her husband, she has a son of her own, so she absolutely cannot hand over the Mo Mansion to outsiders. .

The eldest lady is also stubborn, so she couldn't bear this cowardice, so she left Wang County with her husband, and never heard from her again.

The Grand Master summoned all the elders of the Mo clan to burn incense and pay homage to the ancestors, and wrote the name of the youngest son in the genealogy, named Beixing, styled Nankun.

"..."

"Mother-in-law!" Fang Ji called her mother-in-law softly, and she had already fallen asleep leaning against the head of the bed!After all is old.

Fang Ji was a little embarrassed, this mother-in-law slept so deeply, what should she do.Startled, Fang Ji turned over and got out of bed, and carried the old woman on his back, which was really inconvenient because of his back injury.

Gritting his teeth, he was determined to put the old woman on his back, opened the door, gently put her on the bed, took off her shoes and cotton robe, tucked in the quilt, and took a soup lady from the kitchen, stuffed it under the quilt inside.Then he tiptoed away.

As soon as I got back to my room, I felt my back was wet.When I touched it, it was sticky, red and full of blood.

It was late at night and the weather was cold, so it was inconvenient to ask Fang Lai to get up.

Putting on his cloak, he went to the kitchen to boil hot water by himself.

During these days, if he had gained anything, it would be that he had learned how to make a fire. Thinking of this, he smiled unnaturally.

Maybe it's worrying too much, maybe it's too sleepy, or maybe it's because the wound bleeds too much and feels weak.He fell into a drowsy sleep, but was awake a moment ago, and now he is in the same situation as that mother-in-law.

Fang Ji was awakened by a warm feeling, he opened his heavy eyes, and Fang Lai's big smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.

He lowered his eyes and saw that he was in a big bathtub.The wound on the back has been bandaged again.

"What's going on here!" Fang Ji was a little confused, he remembered that he fell asleep in the kitchen.

"My mother-in-law woke me up, young master, don't move around, the wound will be healed if it gets wet." Fang Lai said while handing over the clean robe.

"What time is it now? Did mother-in-law go to bed?" Fang Ji stood up, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his body indiscriminately. When Fang came to stare at him, his face became hot, "You, go out and look at me do what!"

"I just saw that the young master wiped it carelessly, and the water drops are still hanging on his body, which is not good for his health, how about I help you!" Fang Lai pursed his lips, then picked up another handkerchief and started to use it.

"get out."

"Oh." Fang Lai put on the veil, with inexplicable writing all over his face.

After tossing around for most of the night, this meeting simply couldn't fall asleep!Fang Ji simply got up, held the wooden box, and looked at it again and again.

There were several knocks at the door.

Fang Ji thought, the day is almost dawn, who is here again?He walked over cautiously.

"It's me, mother-in-law."

Fang Ji opened the door, and her mother-in-law was still smiling. Fang Ji quickly led her to sit down at the table, and then picked up the hand stove that Fang Lai had just given and handed it to her.

"Grandma is getting old, she talks inconsequentially, and her mental state is not good." The mother-in-law put down her crutches and covered the stove with both hands, "What did the mother-in-law say?"

"Grandma talked about Ah Jin's father, Mo Beixing..."

When the mother-in-law heard the words, her expression suddenly changed, and then her expression softened again.

"Master Mo brought back a woman that year. That woman was pregnant with Liujia. The Grand Master refused to let her in, saying that she was disobedient and shameless..." The mother-in-law's voice faded.

"Mother-in-law, why don't you stop talking and go to rest for a while?" Seeing that her mother-in-law's voice was fading and her face was not looking well, Fang Ji wanted to give up.

"It's okay, my mother-in-law is getting old, so I won't finish it this time, until tomorrow, I will forget about it!" The mother-in-law waved her hand and continued: "Then the girl left crying, and I heard that she threw herself into the lake... ... This old woman doesn't know either."

The mother-in-law sighed deeply, and continued: "In the second year, Master Mo married Meng Qingyao, the daughter of the owner of the Spirit Snake Valley. In the third year, he gave birth to a son during the Lantern Festival, and he will be Young Master Mo!" Here, the mother-in-law is refreshed, her eyes are bright, and her face is full of smiles.

When Fang Ji heard this, he seemed to understand something in his heart, and he felt a little guilty. He grabbed his cuffs with both hands, feeling heavy and unable to control himself.

"Young man, do you want to ask more questions?" The mother-in-law couldn't help laughing at his blank face.

"Mother-in-law, Mo Beixing really stole the treasury?" Fang Ji's mind suddenly cleared.

"That's just an excuse the emperor made for himself. The master is only a servant of the household department, so he has no such ability!" The old woman shook her head and said seriously: "The treasury has long been empty! The emperor just covets the property of the Mo family, and it is not easy to take it by force." Hao Duo found such an excuse! Many people know that the old man brought a lot of wealth back from Laker Country and hid it in a wooden box. As for the truth, I am afraid that only the old man knows the truth!"

Fang Ji took the wooden box, opened it and looked at the blueprint, "Is this a treasure map?"

"Yes. This is all the property of the Mo family. That's why the government refused to let the Mo family go." The mother-in-law put down the stove and picked up the walking stick. "The mother-in-law is tired, so she went back to her room to sleep."

"Wait, mother-in-law, what is this booklet?" Fang Ji took out the booklet, opened it, and there was nothing there!I can't help but be surprised.

Even though her mother-in-law trusts Fang Ji very much, she really doesn't want to mention it when she thinks it's an evil thing.Then he waved his hand, "Ask Young Master Mo yourself, if he is willing to tell you."

Thinking about everything, feeling hesitant.

Time flies, but an illusion.
