prisoner in the door

Problems in the family are nothing to people like Mo Zhenzhen, and she has done her best to achieve this.

After all, it's impossible for a horse to press its head if it doesn't drink water. The couple's affairs still need to be solved by the couple themselves.

But what surprised Mo Zhenzhen was that among the young couple, it was Mo Mingzheng who bowed his head first.

He didn't say any sweet words, and he didn't take time to spend time with his newlywed wife.

He just started delivering things to the house frequently.

For example, if he hears that a certain dish in a store is delicious today, he will buy it and ask the waiter next to him to bring it back.

There are usually two portions of this dish, one is for the eldest sister Mo Zhenzhen, and the other is for Chen Wanying.

In the portion given to Chen Wanying, a flower and a small note will be added.

This flower may be a wild flower on the roadside or it may be the most beautiful and precious flower species blooming somewhere, and what is written on the small note is probably a poem with the theme of the flower.

Every day is different, and there is no sense of friendship in the poem. It seems that he just made a poem with flowers, and then gave the flower he composed the poem to his wife.

Mo Zhenzhen couldn't understand what was special about it, but Chen Wanying was indeed captured bit by bit.

There should be Chen Wanying's cooperation in this, but she can see that Chen Wanying likes those poems and those flowers very much. She will cherish the flowers and make them into bookmarks and other things to save them, and she will also save the flowers with written The small notes of poems are kept in a small box and collected, and they are taken out and read from time to time.

Even a month later, without Mo Zhenzhen paying special attention, the couple had already started to 'talk' by passing small notes.

The two of them seemed a little unfamiliar in their daily interactions, but their speed in passing small notes did not slow down.

Mo Zhenzhen even had the opportunity to read the small notes (neither of them avoided her), which contained a poem.

Some write about flowers, cursives, clouds, mountains, wind and clouds, while others write about street scenes of hawkers selling goods, and about abrupt withered branches on the dense canopy of trees...

The two of them wrote poems one after another. Those who didn't know better thought that the two of them were competing for poetry, but unexpectedly, their feelings began to heat up with each of these poems.

Then when Mo Zhenzhen wasn't paying much attention, Chen Wanying would play the piano to Mo Mingzheng, and Mo Mingzheng would also make tea for her.

The two of them got together in a way that Mo Zhenzhen didn't quite understand, but it went very smoothly.

Especially after Mo Mingzheng took Chen's mother to his house again (Chen's mother returned to the House of the Minister of Household Affairs on the wedding day) for a short stay, Mo Zhenzhen could see that Chen Wanying looked at Mo Mingzheng differently.

It would be great if the young couple could live together. After observing it for a while, Mo Zhenzhen stopped caring. After all, she was very busy every day.

The days seemed to slip away without any incident, except that Mo Zhenzhen was as busy as ever. There seemed to be nothing different.

However, in fact, great changes took place in the court.

First of all, there are the two brothers. Their promotion path is smooth and not smooth.

Officialdom is about seniority, and this seniority depends on merit and age.

The biggest disadvantage of the two brothers is their age. This is a shortcoming that cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, the two brothers are neither arrogant nor impatient. Even if they are suppressed openly or covertly because of their age, they can still smile like a spring breeze and slowly establish a power network with them as the core in the court.

And promoted slowly and firmly.Next is the Mo family.

The Mo family in the capital seems to have been memorizing characters during this period.

At first, they were teased by the three Mo Zhenzhen siblings, and then they offered an olive branch and were slapped in the face again. Later, they sent people to the two families' hometowns to look up the family trees. In the end, I didn't expect that Mo Zhenzhen was really the real one after careful calculation. The parents are elders.

This is a little embarrassing.

In fact, normally no one would check in such detail. Relatives with distant blood lines like Mo Zhenzhen and the Mo family in Beijing are basically arranged by age.

But if Mo Zhenzhen insists on counting according to the family tree, there is nothing they can do.

If you have no choice, just stop contacting them. The Mo family in Beijing is very arrogant and makes it clear that they don't want to give face to the three siblings here.

In fact, this is normal. After all, the Mo family has been here in the capital for hundreds of years. There is no shortage of rich and powerful families, and the wives in the family are all officials from the capital.

It is unusual for such a being who has been immersed in wealth and wealth for hundreds of years to look down on the three siblings who came out of the village.

If the Mo family in the capital hadn't reaped the benefits brought by Mo Zhenzhen, they wouldn't even take the initiative to talk to the three siblings.

But while they chose to pretend to be dead, the emperor suddenly took action.

At first, the Mo family could only be regarded as being implicated. The emperor was angry about the "stolen" of grain in a certain granary. This kind of thing was not a big deal in the court, not to mention that there was no disaster in that place that required disaster relief. When he learned that the granary The grain was 'stolen' because the county magistrate there suddenly died of illness, and the court sent a new county magistrate there. This magistrate was young, and when he discovered there was something wrong with the granary, he brought the matter up directly.

If you have some experience in the city government, you will definitely not do this kind of thing. They will probably suppress this matter and increase the tax a little when collecting the next batch of tax grains. After a few rounds, the granary will be filled.

But now that things have come to light, let alone the other party's evaluation among the officials, the emperor alone is very angry.

Originally, we had sent an imperial envoy to investigate whether the dead county magistrate had committed corruption, or whether the new county magistrate had framed it.

But the emperor didn't do that. He first punished the son of the recommender of the dead county magistrate, and this unlucky son was a child of the Mo family in the capital.

Why aren’t the recommenders directly punished?
Because the recommender is also dead.

Even the county magistrate was not appointed by the emperor, but by an official of his father's generation.

This was simply an unforeseen disaster, and it also left the Mo family in the capital confused.

But it's not over yet.

After that, the Mo family in the capital seemed to have offended the god of plague. Each of these families had 16 officials. One of these 16 people was dismissed from office and three were demoted in just two months. , fined seven people, and verbally reprimanded five people.

Not a single one was left behind. You would be a fool if you didn't see the clues.

At first they suspected that the two brothers from the Mo family had given them eye drops at the emperor's side, but when they really found out, the two brothers had been busy hitting the backs of their heads recently. Mo Mingzheng went to the east, and Mo Mingfu went to the west. He was sent out to serve as an imperial envoy.

These two brothers have not even sent back a memorial in the past two months, let alone complaining.

Of the three siblings, only one Mo Zhenzhen is left in the house. What can she, a woman of the family, do?
So Mo Zhenzhen was skipped.

However, in reality, Mo Zhenzhen really had a hand in this.
