alpha female in ancient times

You don't like men, and you won't do this kind of thing to you in the future. Stretching his hands over the quilt cover and covering the important parts, Mo Jia rested his arms on his eyes and said in a neutral voice.

"I won't go." Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his arm, Mo Jia couldn't wait for the echo, sat up, got out of bed and dressed, looked back at Qi Yuan's empty eyes, turned and walked out.

Early the next morning, the carriage was parked outside the yard.

After Mo Jia finished eating the noodles, he simply told Mrs. Sun some things, and then he picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

"Wait" The room to the north was pushed away, Qi Yuan called Mo Jia to stop.Holding a bag of the same size in his hand, he walked out slowly.

When someone came up to him, Mo Jia grabbed his wrist and refused in a cold voice: "You can't follow."

"Eldest Young Master, you are..." Sun only knew that Mo Jia was going on a long trip, but she didn't know exactly why, seeing that Qi Yuan was going to follow, she felt very uncertain.

"Auntie, I want to go out with Mr. Mo. You and Ge'er will stay in this yard and someone will take care of them." Qi Yuan believed that Prince Jiang would send someone to monitor them, so he was not worried about the safety of Sun Shi and Qi Ge.

"You stay too." Mo Jia couldn't bear to refute, and reached out to take Qi Yuan's burden.

"I'm a doctor." Qi Yuan insisted, although his voice was soft, he couldn't refuse.

The two were in a stalemate, neither of them would let go.

"Brother Mo, let your elder brother go with you. There are so many people, there is someone to take care of you." Qi Ge, who is already six years old, has grown a lot since he studied with Mo Jia at Tang Jinzhao for a few days.Although he, like Sun, couldn't guess the purpose of Mo Jia's going out, but he had an intuition that there would be danger, so he persuaded him.

"Let's go." Following Qi Ge's words, Qi Yuan lowered his eyes and said with an imperceptible pleading voice.

Mo Jia stared at him, let go of his hand with difficulty, frowned slightly, reached out and took Qi Yuan's bundle and carried it together, and supported him with the other hand to walk towards the carriage.

After bidding farewell to the Sun family, the carriage quickly drove into an official residence.

Mo Jia helped Qi Yuan get out of the car, followed the servants through the corridor, and came to the place where he greeted the guests.

Before entering the main hall, Mo Jia saw Tang Jinzhao, whom he hadn't seen for a day, wearing a purple brocade robe, coming out from inside with a good complexion.

His expression was as flat as ever, and his voice did not fluctuate and he said: "Mr. Mo, senior brother, please come inside."

Qi Yuan nodded slightly.Mo Jia supported him, without looking at Tang Jinzhao, and walked directly inside.

Tang Jinzhao obviously didn't care about Mo Jia's rudeness.After the two of them were seated, he directly ordered his servants to send their burdens to the back yard, and then ordered the servant girl to come forward and pour tea.

"Brother, this is your favorite Xueya." Tang Jinzhao took the teacup from the maid's tray and handed it to Qi Yuan himself.

Putting down the teacup, Qi Yuan replied calmly, "Actually, plain water is enough."

Mo Jia noticed that Tang Jinzhao's hands froze for a moment, and he quickly heard him say: "It's Jinzhao's omission, I forgot that my brother didn't drink tea a long time ago," Tang Jinzhao put the teacup back on the tea tray, and held the tea with both hands The maid said: "I reward you to drink this tea, and then bring another cup of plain water."

"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please forgive me!" The servant girl looked at the boiling tea, her face turned snowy with fright, she plopped on the ground, and kowtowed loudly for mercy.

"Bring the tea." Qi Yuan frowned, not wanting to hurt the innocent, and said aloud.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The maid knocked twice, seeing that Tang Jinzhao didn't stop her and was about to serve tea, but before she could reach out her hand, there was a bang, the teacup was smashed, and the soup flowed out.

"Since everyone doesn't want to drink, then don't ask for it at all," Mo Jia smiled, then turned to the maid who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Go get a glass of white water instead."

"Yes, yes." The servant girl tidied up the debris on the ground, and quickly retreated.

Tang Jinzhao looked gloomyly at a silver bead the size of a soybean that was ignored by the maid not far away, concealed his flash of anger, and quickly changed his words: "Mr. Discuss the matter in the study, and the person will come over soon after the discussion is over." After finishing speaking, he retreated directly, leaving the servant girl behind to serve tea.

Chapter 13

In just half a cup of tea, Jiang Shizi and Mr. Zhang rushed over from the study.

After exchanging false greetings with each other, Jiang Shizi sat in the upper seat and briefly talked about a person's situation with Mo Jia.The general meaning is to ask Mo Jia to investigate some people and things that he has been in contact with.

Mo Jia glanced at the information handed over.After a period of study, he has been able to read proficiently.

Remembering the identity of the person who needs to be investigated, Mo Jia suddenly understood their intentions, nothing more than fancying his unique identity and wanting to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, he wanted to use him to steal the evidence from that person, and on the other hand, he used his hand to steal things that Beidi people regarded as "artifacts" and take them as their own.

Because his identity is clean, it is not easy to arouse suspicion, and it is relatively easy to sneak into Beidi.

Seeing that they played a good plan, if Mo Jia hadn't been worried that after leaving Dayu, the Qiyuan Sun family might be in danger, and wished to destroy these treacherous ancients on the spot.

Exiting from the hall, Mo Jia and Qi Yuan were led by the servants to the courtyard specially prepared for them in advance to rest for a while.

Mo Jia waited for the servants to leave, slipped into Qi Yuan's room, leaned on the bed, rested his swarthy head on his arms and said, "You really want to follow?"

"Yes" Sitting at the round table not far away, Qi Yuan didn't hesitate at all.

"Are you sure I can protect you? Don't be afraid... Mrs. Sun and your little brother will be taken care of later?" Mo Jia deliberately concealed bad consequences to provoke him.

Lowering his head and pulling his lower lip lightly, Qi Yuan said, "If I'm not here, nothing will happen to them."

"Why? You just trust the gang of beastly people outside?" Mo Jiagai asked Qi Yuan, propping his head on one hand, in bewilderment.

Shaking his head, Qi Yuan wanted to say, if one day he is gone and you have returned to your hometown, they can't find anyone and they are worried that you will come to make trouble, so they will definitely keep them.

It's a pity that Qi Yuan would not tell Mo Jia about this, because if he did, he would definitely be left behind.

"What do you mean?" Mo Jia sat up and asked, frowning.

"I'm a doctor." Qi Yuan answered him.

With a sneer, how could Mo Jia fail to hear his perfunctory remarks.

"How did you get your eyes?" Mo Jia assumed the original posture and leaned back to the head of the bed. Considering that Qi Yuan's inability to see would increase the danger, he asked for no reason.

Qi Yuan paused, and explained calmly: "I was ill when I was young, and the high fever persisted for many days, resulting in blindness."

"How old? Twelve or thirteen years old, or fifteen or sixteen years old?" Mo Jia looked at those beautiful eyes, imagining what they used to look like.

Qi Yuan replied, "Thirteen."

"Eight years." Mo Jia calculated, he didn't expect Qi Yuan to go through such a long period of darkness, and couldn't help but feel distressed. If it were in Donasty, a simple corneal restoration operation could be done in minutes.

Just when Mo Jia was about to continue speaking, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.In order to avoid being discovered that someone else was at Qi Yuan's place, Mo Jia got up and got off the bed, greeted Qi Yuan, walked around to the window, and jumped out.

After returning to the courtyard to rest for a while, someone from Shen Shi came to summon him, saying that there was a banquet for Mo Jia and Qi Yuan to attend.

The two were brought to the main hall and seated.

Jiang Shizi did not come, and Mr. Zhang who was with him came to greet this banquet.

The delicious food and wine were served on the table by the maids. Mr. Zhang clapped his hands three times, and a group of dancers came in, followed by the ancient music of silk and bamboo.

Mo Jia, who doesn't like to socialize, looks blind at the bewitching dancer in front of him, raising his glass to block his sight, his eyes unintentionally drifting towards Qi Yuan, who is really blind.

Qi Yuan couldn't see, so his hearing was naturally excellent.Mo Jia observed that his fingers seemed to be pointing casually and irregularly on the table. His eyes subconsciously turned to the musicians.

For a moment, Mo Jia felt that playing the piano and having fun was in line with his temperament, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Sitting in a specially arranged position, Mr. Zhang can easily catch the expression on Mo Jia's face by using the angle relationship.With sharp hooks in his eyes, he waved his hand towards the dancer in the center.

The disappointed dancer quickly withdrew her movements, looked in Mo Jia's direction unwillingly, and finally left helplessly.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Zhang raised the wine cup with both hands, suddenly turned towards Mo Jia, stood up and said, "Mr. Mo, I respect you." He drank the wine in his hand while talking.

Mo Jia stood up and silently returned a cup, wondering what advice the old man had.

Mr. Zhang didn't give any advice, but just added another glass, made a gesture of invitation, said: "First do it as a respect", and then drank it down.

Mo Jia then poured a cup, and the mellow and slightly spicy wine soup passed through the intestines, feeling a little relieved.He poured the wine glass to indicate that he had finished drinking.

After three cups, Mr. Zhang let him taste the freshly hunted game.

Mo Jia tasted a few chopsticks curiously, some firewood was not too tasty, so he put down the chopsticks after a few mouthfuls.

Mr. Zhang did not make things difficult, he only asked Qi Yuan to replace the wine with tea, and the two drank a few glasses before stopping.

Almost enjoying himself, Mr. Zhang didn't say anything to keep him. He sent someone to send him back to the yard, and then left.

Mo Jia rested on the soft bed, but he didn't expect that he, who was too weak to drink in Donasty, would be powerless against Dayu's wine.

Pressing the center of his brows, I don't know if it was an illusion, but his whole body was filled with dryness, which was very uncomfortable, and he had to tear off his collar, trying to get a little cool.

Soon, servants, get ready for the heat
