prisoner in the door

Chapter 308 307: "The Prince's Bride"

Mo Zhenzhen was demonstrating her own value. As the legitimate daughter of the Hou family could not bring her much help, she had to add more value to herself.

Of course, this kind of behavior is also very dangerous. After all, if you expose too much of your own value without matching power, the final result may not be satisfactory. In the end, you may be locked in a "cage" and become a certain person or... The property of a certain force provides value to them.

No one cares where Mo Zhenzhen's merits come from, and they don't care either. They even pretend to be confused and only want to get benefits from Mo Zhenzhen.

The Hou Mansion remained silent, as if acquiescing to this behavior, because Lord Mo had already obtained the benefits he wanted.

Mo Zhenzhen became a favorite in front of those sisters-in-law. Before she sent away the underage children at home, these sisters-in-law didn't even say thank you to her, and turned around and went back to her parents' home. Until Mo Zhenzhen showed up After showing their worth, they came back from their parents' home. They greeted Mo Zhenzhen warmly and praised her from top to bottom.

After a series of procedures are completed, we can get down to business.

It's easy to talk about the serious matter, it's about the Ping An card.

Mo Zhenzhen had said before that this was for the younger members of the family to enshrine in front of the Buddha to pray for blessings. Of course, it is impossible to change her mind now. Every child has it, even the sons and daughters of the family have it.

Just having the Mo family is obviously not enough. They will come back and flatter Mo Zhenzhen, so they must have something more to ask for.

What they want is more peace cards.

After all, things that have been blessed with merit can be given to ancestors if they are not used by living people. They can be kept by ancestors just in case if they are not used. This peace card is like a one-time all-purpose brick. It can be moved wherever it is needed. It is especially good. There are no side effects, and all they have to pay is a touch of lip service.

Mo Zhenzhen also didn't take Qiao. When people asked, she really gave it to him in a good-natured manner.

Each person was given three more. Such a happy way of giving made the four sisters-in-law both satisfied and confused. They felt that Mo Zhenzhen must have some leftovers if she was so happy. They opened their mouths to ask for more, but Mo Zhenzhen showed her embarrassment. color.

"These peace cards are not easy to make. They are carved from century-old peach wood. I don't have much left, so I have to leave them to my brother and father."

When Mo Houye and the four young masters of the Mo family were mentioned, Mo Zhenzhen showed some curiosity on her face.

"I haven't seen my father and brothers recently, and I haven't sent out the peace sign. I don't know if my brothers and father have important things to do, so I can't disturb them."

There is no important matter. The reason why Mo Zhenzhen has never seen the five of them is because the five of them 'sold' Mo Zhenzhen. On the one hand, they sorted out the benefits obtained, but on the other hand, they felt a little ashamed of Mo Zhenzhen. That's why he has been hiding from me.

Mo Zhenzhen knew all this.

They didn't come to see her, but it didn't mean that Mo Zhenzhen didn't know their movements.

First of all, the management rights of the Hou Mansion are still in her hands, and secondly, she still has Prime Minister Mo. How could everything in the Mo family escape the eyes of the Mo family's ancestors?

So she knew exactly what Lord Mo and the others had been doing recently, what benefits they had received, and what the five father and son had said in the study.

Mo Xiang wanted to train her, so he told Mo Zhenzhen all the information he got, leaving Mo Zhenzhen to figure out the details on her own. He only answered Mo Zhenzhen's questions when she asked for help. Explain the rationale to her in detail.

Why should she do this, what benefits can she get from doing this, how to grasp the trade-off between gains and losses, the mentality of those in power, and the unspoken rules in officialdom that Mo Zhenzhen doesn't know.

Mo Xiang led Mo Zhenzhen almost hand in hand into the 'monster room' called the Chaotang.He was teaching Mo Zhenzhen how to make a 'monster' work for her, how to cultivate a qualified 'monster', telling her that a 'monster' who has no remorse is not a qualified 'monster', and everyone wants to kill them. When a person steps down, she wants to be superior to others, and wants more power. This is desire, and she does not need to resist or be afraid.

Under his guidance, Mo Zhenzhen developed a 'hobby'.

Mo Xiang told her that a superior without hobbies would only make her subordinates confused and spend more time trying to figure out what to do, which would affect work efficiency. Therefore, for a qualified superior, she needs to have 'interests'.

This hobby can be about power or money. It can be more elegant with calligraphy and painting, more vulgar with good wine and beautiful women, or even gambling or loving wives.

However, different 'hobbies' can attract different people. Those who send money are bound to be greedy, and those who send calligraphy, painting and calligraphy may not be noble. Those who send beauties to her will inevitably send them to others...

It just depends on what kind of person she wants to find.

While waiting for the reaction from the old general, Mo Zhenzhen was following Mo Xiang's footsteps to manage herself.

She has set a 'hobby' for herself and now she 'loves' wood.

All kinds of expensive wood, or exotic wood will do. As long as you give her wood, she will be happy.

Not long after the news was released, someone came to the door with wood.

They were all ladies from the back house. They came with all kinds of precious wood with smiles, and then were sent out of the Marquis Mansion by Mo Zhenzhen with smiles on their faces.

A few days after this welcome and send-off, a young man in civilian clothes came outside the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The commoner boy was very embarrassed. He looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was carrying a thick old piece of wood on his back. When he knocked on the corner door of the Hou Mansion, he couldn't say a word for a long time. The concierge saw that he was carrying such a piece of wood. The big timber understood his purpose and kindly asked him to wait while he went to send him a message.

The young man stood guard outside the corner door in embarrassment, not daring to move a step. Fortunately, the concierge didn't let him wait long before the corner door was opened again, and the concierge also stepped aside.

"Come in, the lady would like to see you."

This was the first ordinary person Mo Zhenzhen had seen in these days carrying lumber on his back. The young man was taken to the backyard and was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

When he saw Mo Zhenzhen, he knelt directly on the ground. The thick wood made the young man almost fall to the ground, but he still told his purpose first.

"Xiangu, please be kind to Xiangu. I want to ask for a peace card."

The peace card of the Hou Mansion was circulated among the dignitaries in Beijing, and it was said that something sought after by the nobles was magical.

It's just that Mo Zhenzhen is the lady of the Hou Mansion and not everyone can see it in the inner house. It was only after the news about Mo Zhenzhen's liking for wood spread that ordinary people wanted to come over and try their luck. This young man was the first one. one.
