Mrs. Liu just finished talking to Qiao Lan in the morning, and Duan Mingqing came back in the afternoon.

The twins were even more happy to see their father coming home. They rushed to Duan Mingqing and hugged his legs, shouting sweetly, "Dad!"

Duan Mingqing put his arms around his daughter and hugged her, "Dad is back."

Following Duan Mingqing was a cart pulled by horses.

There were two boxes and cages and miscellaneous things on the car. Standing beside the car were two middle-aged men and women and a smart girl.

Duan Mingqing introduced these people to his family, "This is Mr. Mo. I invited him back from the escort agency. These are Mrs. Mo and Miss Mo."

Mr. Mo's name is Mo Qiming. His ancestors were martial arts graduates. However, in his generation, his family's financial situation has declined, so he works as a escort and transports goods.

Because of the chaos in the north, few people now send goods to the north. Mo Qiming has no work to do and lives in a village below Tongzhou.

Duan Mingqing spent a lot of time looking for someone this time, and finally found Mo Qiming's family.

"Please come in quickly! Please come in!" Mrs. Wang welcomed the Mo family into the small courtyard.

Because there were many guests at home, the kitchen chef specially cooked a large bowl of bacon and two plates of eggs. The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host.

After dinner, Duan Mingqing introduced the situation at Mo Qiming's family to Qiao Lan.

The population of the Mo family is simple. Mo Qiming's wife's surname is Song, so she is called Sister-in-law Song. Mo Qiming's daughter is named Mo Ruhua.

flowery?

Qiao Lan twitched her lips and almost didn't spit out her words, mainly because Ruhua in movies and TV series left such a deep impression on her.

She just glanced at that pretty little girl, and it turned out her name was Ruhua!

Qiao Lan: "It's a good name."

Duan Mingqing glanced at Qiao Lan and wondered why his mother suddenly reacted to this name.

Duan Mingqing: "Mom, haven't we always wanted to find a woman to take care of the backyard? Head Guard Mo asked the whole family to come together. I thought there was a shortage of people at home, so I agreed to this."

The Mo family doesn't have many relatives. Except for the Chinese New Year and ancestor worship, when they have to go back to Tongzhou to sweep tombs, which requires a few days off, they can stay in the Duan family's old house at other times.

The rest are just some money issues.

Mo Ruhua learned a lot of martial arts from her father and learned the true inheritance from her father.

What Mo Qiming meant was that since the Duan family provided food and accommodation, they didn't need to pay too much wages. It was just for him and his wife, not for his daughter.

Qiao Lan: "Brothers have to settle accounts openly, and the money still has to be paid. You go and talk to Mr. Mo, and all you need to do is add it to the account."

Duan Mingqing nodded in agreement and went to Mo Qiming's room to say this.

"Why should the old lady be so polite? Just teach the women at home, how much trouble can you go to?" Mo Qiming said with a smile on his face.

Mo Qiming was a well-educated man, and although he was wearing a simple commoner, anyone who looked at him would not think that he was a delivery escort, but rather that he was a literate scholar.

If he hadn't revealed his tricks himself, Duan Mingqing wouldn't have believed it.

Not only is he excellent in martial arts, but he also has extraordinary conversational skills and is a rare talent with both civil and military skills.

How could such a person come to their house to serve as a bodyguard?

So Duan Mingqing wasted a few days to investigate and find out everything about Mo Qiming's family.

Just as Mo Qiming said, his ancestors were martial arts practitioners. Mo Qiming studied and learned martial arts when he was young. Later, his family became ruined and he looked for work everywhere.

Mo Qiming was a martial arts scholar. When he was young, he was drinking with others in a restaurant and injured a young master from a wealthy family. He was imprisoned and was rescued by his friends who collected money.

His fame was taken away, so he turned to the job of being a bodyguard, traveling around the world transporting bodyguards.

As for the incident of Mo Qiming hurting someone, Duan Mingqing tried to bribe the county government officials to check the files from that year. He said that there was a playboy who molested a good girl in the street, so he was taught a lesson by the drunk Mo Qiming.

Dayton.

Being in prison does not mean that Mo Qiming has a problem with his character. Being imprisoned for rescuing others and then being rescued by his friends shows that Mo Qiming himself is a kind and righteous person.

Duan Mingqing cupped his hands and said: "This is what my mother told me. Mr. Mo must not refuse. I can't explain it to my mother when I go back."

"Then thank the old lady for me!"

After sending Duan Mingqing away, Mo Qiming returned to his house and carefully looked around the Duan family's old house. He saw that the house was quiet, with only three or two rooms lit by oil lamps.

He gently closed the door and sat around the table with his wife and daughter.

"Dad, what did Mr. Duan ask you to do just now?" The fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl asked softly while sitting at the table, her eyebrows full of curiosity.

Mo Qiming repeated what Duan Mingqing said.

Mo Ruhua's eyes lit up after hearing this: "The old lady of this family is really kind-hearted. The young master asked our family..."

Mrs. Song quickly covered her daughter's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense here! It will be difficult to explain if someone from the Duan family hears it."

Seeing Mo Ruhua nodding obediently, Mrs. Song took back her hand.

Mo Ruhua stuck out her tongue and said helplessly, "Mom, we are the only family in this house, don't be afraid."

Mo Ruhua's voice was still very small.

Even though they were just a family, Mo Qiming still mentioned his daughter again and again.

"Young Master has put a lot of thought into this matter. If you ruin Young Master's plan, Dad won't be able to protect you."

Mo Ruhua's expression became more solemn, and the excitement of coming to the Duan family for the first time had faded.

-

Early the next morning, the children of the Duan family were called out. They did not need to study early today. They wanted to get to know Mr. Mo and learn martial arts from him.

The day is getting hotter and hotter, and it’s still cool in the morning. If I learn martial arts at noon or afternoon, I might be at risk of heatstroke.

The children of the Duan family only learned martial arts to keep fit, and their main job was to study, so they changed the time for practicing martial arts to the morning, and only needed to practice for an hour and a half every day.

Duan Yuxing and Duan Yujin are okay. They went to bed early yesterday and gathered enough energy.

Duan Yutao couldn't open his eyes when he was picked up by his brothers, but his two brothers helped him get dressed.

Duan Sitong and Fei Yan both got up. The twin sisters were still young, so Qiao Lan didn't force them.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mo Qiming walked up to the group with his daughter, raised his hands and bowed to the children and grandchildren of the Duan family.

"I have met all the gentlemen and ladies. My surname is Mo, and my name is Mo Qiming. This is my daughter, her name is Mo Ruhua."

Several children from the Duan family followed suit and bowed their hands in greeting, and a clear child's voice sounded in the yard, "I've met Mr. Mo and Sister Mo!"

Duan Yutao stood next to his brother and sister, said a few words vaguely, then yawned greatly, and shed two tears from the corners of his eyes.

Mo Qiming looked around at the Duan children and didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all.

I then introduced to the children of the Duan family what was being tested in the martial arts examinations these days, which were divided into weightlifting, riding and archery, infantry shooting, and carbine. The rest were in the policy and theory category, most of which were tested in the civil service examination.

Although the martial arts examination mainly focuses on testing martial arts, the candidates recruited are all those who want to serve as officials in the court and are not illiterate.
