Chapter 416: Naive Aunt Tao
Aunt Tao continued, "Selling kites on the street is such a pathetic thing. It's nothing like Fengshen Yinde returning triumphantly and enjoying such a glorious life now."
She didn't know that Fengshen Yinde was already blind.
Xiumei said, "But I heard from Lord Mo that he wanted to assign him a position, perhaps to edit the Siku Quanshu."
Tao Sangu said, "Wasn't it Ji Xiaolan who compiled the Siku Quanshu?" She also knew Ji Xiaolan.
Ji Xiaolan often comes to Mo Li's house, how could she not know him?
She continued, "Compilation of the Siku Quanshu was a royal undertaking, so why didn't he agree? Instead, he went out to sell kites? He's truly foolish."
Xiumei said, "Yes, I heard from Junhao that he swore that he would never accept a salary from the court again in his lifetime. His courage is comparable to that of Tao Yuanming."
Aunt Tao said, "What's good about such a life? I think that guy named Tao is also a fool. Xiumei, my good goddaughter, your godmother has only one wish in this life, which is to get rich. It seems that Junhao can no longer be relied upon." She showed a disappointed expression.
Then he smiled and said, "All my hopes are pinned on your belly."
Xiumei smiled and said, "On my stomach?"
She didn't know that Emperor Gai Zhang had announced to all the ministers that he would not marry Xiumei. She was still imagining the wonderful life Xiumei would have if she married the emperor, and she said, "If this child gives birth to a boy, he might even become the emperor in the future."
Xiumei restrained her smile and said seriously, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The emperor has announced that he will not marry me."
Aunt Tao didn't feel much loss. She had weathered all these storms, so something like this couldn't bring her down to the bone. She just sighed, "A man's heart is like a needle in the sea. He says one thing, but thinks another. Just like your Lord Mo."
Xiumei was a little confused, wondering why it was all about Li Qiye again. How had he offended her?
He said, "Master Mo from our family?"
Aunt Tao said, "Ah. Even though he keeps avoiding me and speaks coldly, he really likes me in his heart."
As she said this, she stood up, acting like a little girl.
In fact, Mo Li said it very clearly. He is not a person with strong tastes and would not like Aunt Tao.
But Tao Sangu didn't understand this and thought she still had a chance.
Xiumei couldn't bear to tell her the truth, fearing that she would be upset, so she just said, "Really?"
Aunt Tao said, "Ah. Look at his lustful look, he's always staring at me all day long, and it makes my heart jump up and down like a little deer. Ouch."
Xiumei still didn't want to discourage her and said, "Yes, yes, Master Mo must be quite lonely being alone."
But I thought to myself that Aunt Tao San was being too self-indulgent.
Aunt Tao recalled something and said happily, "Hey, Xiumei, I'll take care of Lord Mo. As for the Emperor, I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, he sat down.
Xiumei said, "Deal with it? How?"
Aunt Tao said innocently, "First cry, then make a scene, then hang yourself. Men are all afraid of this."
Xiumei disagreed, thinking that the man she liked was the current emperor, who was slightly different from ordinary people after all, so this method might not be feasible.
Aunt Tao continued, "Hey. I've married eight or nine men in my life. I know all the tricks, all the strategies, all the changes. Hey. Let me tell you, when you see the emperor, you cry first."
He gestured as he spoke, and continued, "If you cry like this, the emperor will surely be softened."
Xiumei didn't want to listen to her anymore. She thought to herself, what the hell is this? The emperor is so easy to deal with. If that were the case, he wouldn't be the emperor.
She said, "Third Aunt, I have to go see a doctor."
The implication was that he didn't want to hear her anymore.
