Chapter 1614: Chapter 1621: Duke Li Guo Mansion’s Plan (1)
So families are happy, so are worried. Here, the House of the Auxiliary Duke is overshadowed by gloom and unease, while Duke Li Guo’s Mansion received great news, which made the entire family extrely joyful, especially the Mo Qingshan couple of the second room, who were overjoyed.
This morning, the Secret Guard dispatched to protect Mo Zili brought back news that Mo Zili is currently in Qing County, staying at the mansion of the Qing County Official, Shen Luming, where he’s been living for over a month without showing any intention of leaving.
Duke Li Guo’s Mansion is not unfamiliar with the Qing County Official family. Last year, The Emperor ntioned this person to them, saying his daughter sowhat resembled Wu Xiangyun. At that ti, Duke Li Guo planned to have Mo Zili marry the Qing County Official’s daughter as his wife, but Mo Zili declared he would not marry again and resolutely left the mansion to travel after his birthday, so this matter was shelved.
Who knew that fate would play a part, he unexpectedly traveled to Qing County and encountered the Qing County Official’s daughter, further staying in the Official’s mansion. It is said that in the Mansion, he was either viewing calligraphic paintings or playing the zither and composing poetry, showing great artistic interest.
Since Xiang Yun got married, he was drunk and insensible inside the ho all day, not even looking at calligraphic paintings or playing the zither and composing poetry, even during his rare monts of sobriety.
Upon arriving at the Official’s Mansion, he beca so leisurely. Right now, saying he has no interest in the Official’s young lady would be telling it to a ghost, and even a ghost wouldn’t believe it!
“Indeed, destiny brings people together from afar; who would have thought that matching them didn’t work out, and they unexpectedly t themselves!”
Old Mada Liu, leaning on the babu bed with honey wax string beads in her hand, laughed and talked with the two daughters-in-law.
Lady Bai happily said, “Heaven blesses us, finally allowing my son to et soone he likes. I originally feared he wouldn’t turn around in this lifeti, but now it’s good. With this person fulfilling his wishes, he should soon be coming back!”
Lady Wu laughed and said, “I just fear Li’er will fall in love with that young lady and be reluctant to co back. Doesn’t everyone say that young n think a day apart feels like three autumns? From Qing County to the Capital, it takes at least over a month; think about it, such a distant journey, such a long separation, how could Li’er bear to leave?”
Sitting across, Mo Qingshan said, “No worries, either we at Duke Li Guo’s Mansion directly propose marriage and quickly bring that young lady back; or have Father transfer the Qing County Official to the Capital to hold office, making it convenient for them to et, thus relieving them from the pain of longing!”
At this mont, Mo Qingshan’s pale face carried a deep smile, and because of his joy, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks. Since his son left ho, he suffered even more than Lady Bai, spending all day in his son’s study room, sitting through an entire day. Missing and caring for his son caused this inherently weak man’s body to decline day by day, weaker by the day. Now suddenly hearing his son has a chance for happiness, Mo Qingshan truly wished he could imdiately bring that young lady into the mansion, so his son could stay obediently at ho!
“Yes, this idea is good!”
Duke Li Guo stroked his beard and nodded in agreent, “Later, I’ll go and see about finding a fifth or sixth rank position to transfer that Qing County Official to the Capital, so that rascal boy can co ho sooner!”
With the family’s plans decided, everyone was joyful.
At this mont, far away, County Magistrate Shen, unaware of his imminent promotion to Capital official, was busy organizing etings with Town leaders, urging them to go back and mobilize the citizens to actively raise geese and ducks. These poultry not only lay eggs and provide at, but their feathers can be sold for money too, and they fetch quite a price. The feathers of a single duck could nearly equal one-fifth of the duck’s value, very cost-effective!
