Evil Consort in the Great Era

Chapter 79 - Make something they haven't eaten

Li Zheng's footsteps paused for a moment, before he finally nodded his head, "Then, follow me."

Since Mo Zhengyang had agreed to leave for the time being, he had no reason to disagree with such a small request.

"Sigh."

Mo Zhengyang originally thought that he would refuse, but he didn't expect that he would get an affirmative answer.

This filled his heart with joy.

He hurried after his father, moved the materials into the side room with him, and began to make lanterns with him.

With their combined efforts, the next afternoon, the ten lanterns were completed.

Mo Zhengyang took the initiative to accept the errand boy, and without waiting for permission, rushed out of the courtyard door.

"This child." Li was looking at the figure that disappeared like a wisp of smoke, shaking his head helplessly.

If Mo Xiyan's status was not far from her family's, then he would naturally be happy to see Mo Zhengyang marrying her.

What a pity, what a pity. He sighed and turned around to reorganize the lantern.

Mo Zhengyang was very fast, in a few minutes he was already at Sang Nu's house.

When he arrived, Mo Xiyan was helping Sang Nu grind the soy milk.

He looked at Mo Xiyan and laughed, "Narcissist, the lantern is ready. Let Zhang Ye drive over here to pick it up."

"Really?"

Mo Xiyan never thought that they would be so fast. She had wanted to say that if it was too forced, it would be the same if she said it again tomorrow.

So when she heard Mo Zhengyang's words, she was really surprised.

When he saw her face brimming with surprise, he laughed along with her.

"Really, Father and I have made a total of thirteen lanterns. If it wasn't for the lack of materials, we would like to make more lanterns."

Thirteen? It was another surprise.

The wisdom of the ancient people couldn't be underestimated.

Mo Xiyan originally thought that there would only be a shortage of materials.

After all, this was the first time Li Zheng and the others had made such a lantern. It was not certain that they would fail in the beginning.

Because of this, she gave him a little more materials.

He didn't expect that there would be so many of them.

"That's great, I'll inform Zhang Ye to come to your house to get it."

After saying that, she put down the work in her hands and turned to Sang Nu, "Granny, I'll be back soon."

Hearing that Zhang Ye was not here, Mo Zhengyang asked, "Is Zhang Ye working in Mo Mansion?"

Mo Xiyan nodded, "Yes."

Although she didn't understand why he asked, she still answered truthfully.

"Then I'll go call him, to prevent you from making another trip."

Mo Zhengyang said as he turned and ran, not giving Mo Xiyan the chance to reject him.

"Why does it feel so weird?"

Mo Xiyan looked at his departing figure in confusion, then turned her head to look at the Sang Nu with a dubious gaze.

She was slightly surprised, "Grandma, why are you looking at me with such a strange expression?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head to look at herself. There didn't seem to be anything strange about her.

"Stop looking, there's nothing wrong with your clothes." Sang Nu brought over a basket of beans and placed it beside the grindstone. He smiled at her softly and said, "It's just that, I feel that we're cherishing our beauty more and more."

What he said was the truth.

In her memory, the first time she saw Mo Xiyan, her face was still a little waxy yellow.

But for the past few days.

Although she was constantly running towards the mountains, she did not continue to turn black. Instead, she became more and more pale.

Furthermore, she was much taller than before.

All of these made Mo Xiyan's beautiful face that was unforgettable to look at.

Even at this moment, she was only wearing a simple double bun and plain clothes, it was still difficult to conceal her elegant appearance.

Her gaze kept on moving back and forth on Mo Xiyan's body, making her feel especially uncomfortable.

She tried to change the subject.

Because she had a feeling that the Sang Nu would pull the topic in an increasingly strange direction.

Mo Xiyan whipped her donkey and continued, "Grandma, are all these beans going to be grinded?"

"That's right. Otherwise, the soy milk won't smell good after the night."

Sang Nu poured the beans at the center of the grinder, following Mo Xiyan's instructions.

As a girl, she would always be shy. She was someone who had experienced this before, so she understood.

And for such a smart child like Mo Xiyan, how could she not know that Mo Zhengyang had good feelings for her?

It was most likely because she didn't have any feelings for him, so she had deliberately ignored him.

But thinking about it, she was from the capital after all, so how could she marry a young man from the village?

It was also because her old woman had thought too much into it that she shouldn't have brought this up.

Thinking of this, she could be considered to have thrown away all her previous thoughts.

Seeing her like that, Mo Xiyan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sigh, this time and space are too conservative.

When men and women interacted a little more, it would cause others to think about the word 'love'.

Although she had no choice but to admit that Mo Zhengyang might really be interested in her.

But that was not the same thing at all.

And if she had to choose, she would choose Murong Yu.

After all, she had some sort of relationship with him.

Following Mo Zhengyang … He was just a friend.

As the two of them were talking, Zhang Ye brought the lantern back.

What Mo Xiyan asked them to make was not a round lantern in the traditional sense, nor was it a cylindrical shape.

It was rectangular.

Of course, such a simple rectangle was not that surprising.

Due to the strangeness, he had tried to light the first lantern after finishing it.

He was surprised to find that the lantern light was much brighter than before.

Adding on to what he had heard, Mo Xiyan wanted the villagers to work six hours more at night.

She instantly understood why she asked him to make the lanterns.

Indeed, he only needed ten of these lanterns.

After all, this light was bright enough, there was no need to illuminate all of Mo Mansion in one go.

When Mo Xiyan saw these lanterns, she once again greatly praised them.

Li Zheng was capable of producing lanterns quickly and well. He was indeed a master of this art.

She immediately got Zhang Ye to send her the gift that she had prepared.

Then he was told to come back and hang the lantern on the construction site.

When Zhang Ye went to the main house, Mo Zhengyang just so happened to take the gift and leave.

"Zheng Yang, you're going out?"

He asked.

"That's right. Grandfather is sick. Uncle and the others don't have enough manpower, so he asked me to help."

After saying that, Mo Zhengyang didn't wait for Zhang Ye to continue speaking and directly said, "I won't talk to you any longer, I'll be leaving first."

With that, he passed Zhang Ye and quickly left.

Zhang Ye wanted to stop him, but he just happened to walk out of the house.

"Why is Zhang Ye not helping in Mo Mansion?"

"Yes, Master told me to give these to you."

With that, he handed over the thing that Mo Xiyan had given him.

"You are being polite to this child."

Li Zheng received the gift and smiled. "Go back and tell her not to make these for me next time. If she's too polite, then we'll get a share."

This courtesy was indeed what he deserved. He naturally felt at ease after receiving it.

Moreover, he also understood Mo Xiyan's temperament. If she did not accept him, she would have thought of a way to send him back home.

Rather than this kind of trouble, it was much better to just accept it.

"Is Zhengyang's grandfather sick?"

Zhang Ye had a nagging feeling that Mo Zhengyang's departure was not that simple.

So he asked Li Zheng again.

"That's right. His uncle sent a letter, saying that his grandfather is sick. I hope that we can help them out here. They don't have enough people."

At this point, Li Zheng sighed, "As you can see, other than Zheng Yang, there is no one else suitable for me in my house."

That's true.

Zhang Ye nodded, and the doubt in his heart disappeared.

He didn't think much of it and just exchanged a few more pleasantries before returning to move the lanterns.

Thus, on the second day, when Mo Xiyan found out about this matter, she had already escaped without a trace.

Perhaps it really was only because of his grandfather's departure that he left.

Mo Xiyan thought.

She didn't want to think about things too complicated. After all, if she thought about it too much, she wouldn't be able to hide the shadow in her heart.

Besides, she was too busy to take care of her own matters, so how could she have the time to care about others?

In the following month.

Mo Xiyan would go to the mountains every day, and according to the Medicine Encyclopedia that Dr. Yang gave her, and comparing it to the plants in the mountain, she would truly be able to find a lot of herbs.

This made her feel very accomplished.

As for Zhang Ye, he would stay at the construction site everyday to help Mo Xiyan supervise and urge the villagers to speed up their progress.

When necessary, he also pulled up his sleeves and worked with the villagers.

Under everyone's efforts, the Mo Mansion was finally completed.

Even the outer perimeter wall was more than half completed.

Because the amount of work to be done was smaller, Zhang Ye told the majority of the villagers to go back and wait for the staff to notify them.

Only a small number of people remained, and they continued to work here.

The house was newly built, and the customs on the spot were to be entertained.

Thus, Mo Xiyan burned the fire pit inside the house all day long, just to get rid of the moisture inside the house.

Zhang Ye was also very excited, because Mo Xiyan had told him before that the entire front yard of Mo Mansion belonged to him from now on.

Only the backyard belonged to Mo Xiyan.

Such a large place was at least several times larger than the small room he used to live in in in the Prime Minister's Estate.

Furthermore, the entire construction of the house had been completed under his watchful eye.

Therefore, his feelings towards this house were not any less than Mo Xiyan's.

When the moisture in the house was almost gone, Mo Xiyan bid farewell to Sang Nu and stayed in her own house.

At the same time, she also sent an invitation to Sang Nu, asking her to come visit her house three days later.

Sang Nu naturally happily promised.

then sent the invitation to the Dr. Yang.

They were all happy for her, so they agreed.

After returning home, Mo Xiyan spent a day to organize her things. Then, on the second day, she went into the mountain.

He began to prepare for tomorrow's banquet.

She was going to make a meal, something neither of them had ever eaten, so they could have a taste.
